Chapter 892: Siam Bay
In the twelfth year of Chongzhen, Huang Han, who stayed in Anqing Mansion for the New Year, had Qin Yanyi and Chu Chu to accompany him to live quickly, and the fifteenth day of the first month passed in a blink of an eye.
Huang Han dispatched 3,000 cavalry from the mainland, incorporated 2,000 rogue horse thieves with reasonable combat effectiveness, selected 5,000 young and middle-aged rogue robbers with riding skills to serve with the army, and went north again to return to Shanhaiguan with 40,000 men and horses.
The tens of thousands of rogues who were sentenced to labor reform did not take them through the prefecture, but were transferred by boat in Anqing, and this time they were not all sent to Guanwai.
Tens of thousands of exiles who have been coerced will go to Nantong Prefecture and Taizhou to build cofferdams to build fields, and they will be arranged to explore the Americas in the future.
More than 30,000 young and middle-aged people, including their families, were selected and sent directly to Hainan Island to cut down trees and reclaim land to wait for the transplantation of rubber trees and the cultivation of tree species.
The rubber plantation started from scratch, and the amount of work invested in the early stage was huge, and more than 120,000 people, except for the very old and children who have lost their labor force and children under the age of 10, everyone else can get the jobs they can.
Even though Qin Yanyi was not happy, she was still aggrieved and returned to Sichuan with the female soldiers under her command.
Because Huang Han's analysis is reasonable, the extermination of the Liukou is as important as the pacification of Liaodong, the women's battalion has an advantage in the face of the Liukou, and it is completely in a contrarian trend in the face of the Manchurian and Mongolian cavalry.
Northern Sichuan is in a state of confrontation with the Liukou, and once the "Red Banner Army" withdraws from Liaodong and launches a great war to suppress the Koukou, Hanzhong will become one of the main battlefields.
During this period of time, not only will troops not be transferred from Sichuan, but will also increase the number of men and horses, and now the "Red Banner Army" will not be a waste of manpower and material resources to transfer the men and horses of the "Red Banner Army" in Sichuan thousands of miles away to Liaodong?
Qin Yanyi was born in Jiangmen, and has practiced archery and horses to participate in military training since she was a child, so of course she understands these truths.
The husband made a plan to destroy Jiannu and Liukou first, and in order to ensure that the plan was not disrupted, he stabilized his adoptive mother Qin Liangyu and made her have some patience.
Sichuan's adoption of a defensive position for one or two years is the top priority.
Now that Qin Liangyu is old and has a good temper, Huang Han's analysis believes that it is a manifestation of menopausal syndrome, but there is no such theory in this era.
Seeing that Ma Xianglin, Zhang Fengyi, Qin Yiming and other generals of the white pole soldiers couldn't persuade her at all.
And Qin Yanyi's identity is different now, she not only has the actual teaching of the chief military officer of the Ming Dynasty, but also the princess of the king.
Of course, the identity of the princess is higher than that of Mrs. Order, Qin Liangyu is a person who strictly abides by her duties, since her adopted daughter Qin Yanyi has been canonized as a side concubine, she does not regard herself as an elder, and faces Qin Yanyi with court etiquette.
Therefore, when Qin Liangyu insisted on going her own way, I am afraid that only Qin Yanyi could stop her in the whole of Sichuan.
At this time, Zhu Dadian had already received a reply from Gao Yingxiang, and made an appointment to discuss the exchange of prisoners in Kaifeng in detail.
Zhu Dadian, who had been mentally prepared, happily went to the appointment.
During the Lunar New Year and New Year, the sea near the Gulf of Siam is calm and the climate is pleasant, which is the best time for tourism in later generations, and many islands with white sand beaches are full of people.
Huang Yong, the commander of the Longwu Naval Division, led 27 warships to appear off the coast of Siam at the end of the 11th year of Chongzhen, and the emotional Zheng Zhilong did not command more than 200 warships and armed merchant ships under his command at his own flagship.
The moment he saw the Longwu Sailor who came to the appointment, he took the initiative to take his most important eldest son, fifteen-year-old Zheng Sen, and several major leaders to Huang Yong's flagship "Hanjiang County King".
It was Huang Han's plan to lay a foothold for the Zheng Group in Nanyang.
For this reason, Huang Yong communicated with Zheng Zhilong many times, and clearly told Zheng Zhilong that in the future, all merchant ships coming and going in the South China Sea would need to pay transportation fees to Long Wu Sailor.
As long as the merchant ships pay money to buy the road, they will be protected by the Longwu Sailors, regardless of nationality, if the Zheng family wants to do something in the South China Sea, it will be friction with the Longwu Sailors, what will be the final result?
It is equivalent to using both soft and hard, Zheng Zhilong got Huang Yong's guidance to occupy the eastern entrance of the Strait of Malacca and establish a nest.
It is one of the busiest shipping routes in the world today, and as long as you have the strength, you can get huge profits from robbing merchant ships and warships in the Strait of Malacca.
In order to continue to dominate the party in the second half of his life, Zheng Zhilong bet all his bets, and because his old enemies Liu Xiang and Li Guozhu have taken refuge in the "King of Hanjiang County".
One of them grabbed territory and expanded their influence in Little Luzon, and the territory had grown to a radius of 100 or so li, and the population had grown to 120,000, of which more than half were Han Chinese.
One robbed merchant ships in the Wa Kingdom, embezzled islands, smuggled weapons to the warring shogunate and religious armies, and shipped gold, silver, and copper ingots to make a fortune.
Relatively speaking, Zheng Zhilong is not easy to mix, the two biggest hostile forces have been controlled, and there are "dragon warriors" in the South China Sea who are running Kinmen Island and Hong Kong Island.
Zheng Zhilong didn't need to be guarded against being raided by anyone, so he took all the warships that could sail far away, and selected eighty of the best armed merchant ships.
The reason why he brought his son Zheng Sen, who was already fifteen years old, was because he heard that at the end of this year or the beginning of next year, the "King of Hanjiang County" might once again select eight young disciples to take with him to teach by word and deed.
Shi Daxuan, one of the eighteen Zhi, was able to let his second Xiao Shi Xian study with the "King of Hanjiang County" for two or three years, and Zheng Zhilong was willing to live there.
Moreover, he thinks that the eldest son Zheng Sen has a double cultivation of civil and military skills, and has a reputation for showing off his talents, and he is many times stronger than the two boys of Shi Daxuan's family.
Zheng Zhilong in history attaches great importance to the education of his children, and his eldest son Zheng Sen once worshiped under Qian Qianyi, a well-known Donglin Party boss at that time, in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, and studied with Gu Yanwu.
Today's history is beyond recognition, Zheng Zhilong keenly found that the new professors of the "Red Banner Army" system are the real knowledge, and the disciples who were trained by the "King of Hanjiang County" have a bright future, and of course he wants to do his best to create opportunities for his son.
The flagship "Hangang Junwang" has been in service for more than a year, and the authorized crew of this first-class battleship with a displacement of 3,000 tons has reached 770.
Now, with the addition of Zheng Zhilong's dozens of people and Huang Yong's direct leadership, a general and a general of the Praise and Painting Department, interpreters, military doctors, nurses, and so on, there are more than 1,500 crew members on board.
The Longwu Navy Division also had nine warships to escort the more than 200 merchant ships sailing in formation, and the fleet was full of copper ingots, rice, cotton, pig iron, spices, and other materials.
It is expected that it will be able to rush to Nantong Prefecture to unload by the end of the year, and the goods transported to the port of Seoul may not be unloaded until the 15th of the first month.
Huang Yong saw Zheng Zhilong's fleet, and also saw that there were many ordinary people with their families on the armed merchant ship, knowing that the Zheng family had no private interests, and almost went out of the nest, and was very satisfied with Zheng Zhilong's attitude.
