On the third day, Zheng Zhilong had the honor to participate in the naming and handover ceremony of three warships that had completed their trial voyages and were handed over to the Longwu Naval Division.

Three battleships with a displacement of 2,000 tons, called "Hangang", "Ganghwa", and "Busan", shocked the generals and 2,000 soldiers under the command of Zheng Zhilong.

Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhihu, Gan Hui and other generals boarded the three battleships to take a closer look, and they saw the black and shiny cannons, and saw the power and range of the cannons.

The little pride they had left in their hearts was gone, and only these three battleships were afraid that they would not be able to win by using all the Zheng Group's warships to besiege them, and if they wanted to be enemies of the Dragon Martial Water Division in the future, they would definitely dig their own graves.

Huang Yong and Huang Yi spent four months on another trip to the South Seas, not only bringing back 1 million stone of rice, but also buying 5 million catties of cotton from India.

The peasants of Quang Nam, Da Viet and Lesser Luzon were able to shake off poverty because of the cultivation and production of rice, and their enthusiasm was high, and the sown area was increasing day by day.

At present, the officials of the three countries and the small people of Shengdou are worried that if the Ming Dynasty does not come to purchase rice in any given year, there will be a backlog of rice in their hands, the price of grain in the country will drop by at least half, and the peasants who grow grain will lose a lot of money, and the fruits of their labor will be wasted.

The production technology of Daming silk and cloth leads the world, and has formed an industrial chain, and the products are sought-after goods in the export trade, feeding hundreds of thousands of weavers.

The demand for cotton and raw silk is very large, causing too many farmers in Jiangnan to give up growing grain and planting cash crops instead, causing the grain output in Jiangnan to decline year by year.

Being able to buy cotton from Spain, Portugal, and the Dutch is equivalent to increasing the grain sowing area, and Huang Han strongly advocated that when the time is ripe, he can go to India to buy directly.

After the return of the main fleet, there was no idleness, and several thousand newly graduated sailors, gunners, and marines immediately took up their posts to replace most of the crew members who had returned from the voyage to rest, and the fleet devoted itself to transporting migrants for two months.

Zheng Zhilong's fleet has not been idle, and they have been transporting immigrants back and forth with Denglai and Tianjinwei.

Zheng Zhihu and Gan Hui were very disappointed when they saw that the general didn't seem to have the intention of using them to participate in the war at all, and really let them take on the transportation task.

Two months have passed, they have seen the busyness of the Liaohai, the number of warships owned by the Longwu Naval Division, and the spiritual outlook of the marines and sailors of the Marine Division, and they have better understood that they can only choose to cooperate with the general in the future.

Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhihu, Gan Hui and others finally met their old acquaintance, Shi Daxuan, one of the former leaders of the Eighteen Zhi.

In the past few years, due to his conscientious work and frequent meritorious service, Shi Daxuan has already been taught by a guerrilla general, and he is part-time the captain of the battleship "Liaoyang" with a displacement of 1,500 tons, and he is in charge of eight battleships of the same class.

Not counting the Marine Corps of the Shanghai Division, the normal crew of Shi Daxuan's combat formation reached 3,600 people.

Time has passed, where is Zheng Zhilong still accountant Shi Daxuan took refuge in the capture of the general, and made a generous attitude of meeting each other with a smile and enmity, but his heart was not at all tasteful, it seemed that Shi Daxuan had caught up with himself in the "Red Flag Army" system for several years.

Shi Daxuan, who was in a good mood, invited his old friends to drink, and talked about how he had lived comfortably in the "Red Banner Army" system over the years, and how comfortable he was when the Xiyi deck battle ship raised the white flag and surrendered......

On the first day of the seventh month, Huang Han specially invited the Longwu Naval Division to take the general and above-ranking generals, which was also regarded as seeing off most of them, because seven days later it was the auspicious day of the zodiac, and the main force of the Longwu Naval Division was about to set off for Nanyang again.

Shi Daxuan has been reappointed as the captain of the battleship "Busan".

He sat at a table with Huang Yong, the chief military officer of the Longwu Water Division, the chief military officer of the Right Metropolitan Governor Jiawei, the deputy general Yang Dacheng, the staff generals Shen Xianyi, Shen Ming, Huang Chunsheng, the guerrilla generals Huang Yi, Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhihu, Gan Hui, and so on, plus Huang Han.

A few years ago, Huang Han only briefly introduced the construction principle, and the carpenter made a round table of various sizes, with a ball turntable made by a blacksmith.

The large and small round tables that can be rotated have been used in restaurants and restaurants in the city that never sleeps, and have received rave reviews.

A group of generals who have been at sea for a long time have a common language, and they talked about how to pursue the Xiyi merchant ships and capture the Xiyi deck battle ships at the wine table, and Zheng Zhihu scratched his ears and cheeks when he heard it.

Huang Han looked at Zheng Zhihu, who had a big waist and a round waist, and raised the wine glass to toast, Zheng Zhihu saw that the general of the conquest was toasting and hurriedly left his seat and came to Huang Han's side to drink three glasses, and said in his mouth: "Don't dare to be." ”

Huang Han smiled and asked: "General Zheng, General Shi Daxuan has been transferred to the captain of the 'Busan', and the 'Liaoyang' is now lacking a good captain, I wonder if you are willing to come to the Longwu Navy Division to serve as the captain of the 'Liaoyang'?" ”

As soon as these words came out, all the generals who were laughing and drinking put down their wine glasses and looked at the general and Zheng Zhihu, Zheng Zhihu was ten thousand willing, but he couldn't help himself, and hurriedly glanced at his eldest brother Zheng Zhilong with a look of help.

Zheng Zhilong had seen the battleship Liaoyang and knew that such a battleship was a first-class battleship of the Longwu Naval Division, so it was obvious that this was the intention of the general to carry Zheng Zhihu.

No matter how the situation develops in the future, Zheng Zhihu can serve as the captain of the "Liaoyang" battleship, and he will definitely be able to learn a lot of the tactics of the Longwu Naval Division, and he will also be able to familiarize himself with the first-class warships of the Longwu Naval Division.

He hurriedly got up and left his seat, knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "Xiaguan thanks the general for bringing the second brother!" ”

Zheng Zhihu saw his brother kneeling, and he also knelt down and kowtowed, and said: "Thank you for the grace of the general, and I am willing to serve the general from now on!" ”

Huang Han smiled: "Woe to you? It's really hard to say at this time! General Zheng, don't be too happy, I'm afraid it will take a while for you to get used to the rules and regulations of the Red Banner Army.

Benjue estimates that not having a family around you will make you feel uncomfortable, haha! ”

Zheng Zhihu said: "General, you can adapt to any military discipline. General Shi Daxuan has been serving in the Longwu Water Division for several years, and the mental outlook of the soldiers around him is no different from that of his family! ”

Huang Yong said: "If you are adapted, you will know, General, when the Eighth Rank goes to Nanyang, the 'Liaoyang' will be incorporated into the first battle formation." ”

Huang Han remembered a very important thing, and told his second brother Huang Yongdao: "Don't rush when the Longwu Naval Division arrives at the sea in Guangdong, you have to go out of your way to see if there are any Xiyi deck battle ships provoking the Ming Dynasty?"

If it was found that a Xiyi warship had attacked or even taken down the Humen Fort, Benjue ordered the Longwu Naval Division not to let go of a Xiyi warship, and to arrest or kill all the Xiyi people who dared to provoke the Ming Dynasty. ”
