The rapid development of civilization comes from continuous exchanges, and from a historical point of view, an open China has always been able to stand on top of the world.

Although the forbidden sea could cut off the connection between the Southern Ming and the land, and cut off the Ming army's supplies from the land, Gao Yihuan finally vetoed the strategy of forbidding the sea.

In January, after Gao Yihuan spent the New Year in Guangzhou, he left Jin Shenghuan in Guangzhou and Zhao Daxian in Fujian, and prepared to return north.

However, Gao Yihuan did not climb the South Ridge, but went to Fujian and entered Zhejiang, preparing to inspect the Jiangnan handicraft industry again, and brought a large number of orders from the government to support the Jiangnan handicraft industry and survive the period of tug-of-war between the Wei army and the Nanming Sea.

Government procurement is not a long-term strategy, and there is not much sustainability, so Gao Yihuan desperately hopes that the Wei army's naval division can quickly form combat power and open up the Nanyang route.

At the beginning of February, outside the city of Fuzhou, on the official road leading to the vicinity of Yongbeili, thousands of cavalry escorted Gao Yihuan and others to the base and shipyard of the Nanyang Naval Division of the Great Wei.

After thinking about it again, the Great Wei court decided to place the shipyard and the naval port in Fujian.

Fujian's eight mountains, one water and one land, engaged in agricultural production, it is difficult to feed so many people, and the people rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and the sea to eat the sea, and many people are involved in the marine trade.

There are enough talents here, as well as craftsmen and materials needed for shipbuilding, and if the Great Wei Sailors want to quickly form combat power, the land must be Fujian.

Yongbeili is located on the north bank of the lower reaches of the Minjiang River, more than ten miles away from the mouth of the Minjiang River, is the military and commercial port of Fujian Province, the water gateway of Fuzhou, and he also has a name, which is Mawei.

At this time, Gao Yihuan, under the escort of thousands of cavalry, came in a mighty way, and saw from a distance that there were many flags and camps in Mawei Port, but there were not many sea ships in the port.

The Zheng family's ships were basically taken away by Zheng Sen, which made Gao Yihuan very dissatisfied, suspecting that there was actually a tacit understanding between Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Sen, so although the high-ranking officials treated Zheng Zhilong well, they did not reuse him and the Zheng clansmen who surrendered.

Now Zheng Sen controls Xiamen, Kinmen, Penghu, Taiwan and other places, with at least 30,000 soldiers in his hands, and the entire coastal area of Fujian is threatened by him, and the key problem is that Dawei has no way to take him, but Zheng Sen can only attack Dawei, but Dawei can't go to sea to fight him, Zheng Sen can be said to be invincible, which makes Gao Yihuan very headache.

Although Mawei was a military port for the Wei army's naval division, it was still not very safe, so Gao Yihuan brought 5,000 guards.

At this time, the guard of honor was close to Mawei, and when the camp was neutral, a team of men and horses rushed out, and more than a dozen generals came to greet them, the first one was Wei General Gao Chengxun, and he was followed by a group of Zheng army generals.

"Greetings to Your Majesty!" Gao Chengxun and the others flew off their horses, hurried up to meet them, and saluted in front of Gao Yihuan's horse.

Gao Yihuan grabbed the reins of the horse, smiled slightly, glanced at everyone, and raised the horsewhip, "Everyone, get up!" ”

Several generals saluted and stood up with Gao Chengxun, then lowered their heads and stood dryly, without speaking.

Gao Yihuan glanced at them, and when he saw that none of them looked up, he smiled deliberately: "A few people don't look at me, I can only report to my house first." I am the Emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty, Gao Yihuan, what do you call it? ”

As soon as the words fell, one of the older people raised his head, glanced at Gao Yihuan, and immediately lowered his head, saluting a little nervously, "The minister doesn't dare to peep at Long Yan." Chen Shifu, who was originally a Fujian guard, is now in the Great Wei, has no other intentions, and is willing to serve His Majesty! ”

Gao Yihuan raised his eyebrows, "Who are you Shi Lang?" ”

Shi Fu clenched his fists and said: "Back to Your Majesty, it's the nephew of the minister!" ”

"Good! Serve Da Wei, I will not treat you badly! Gao Yihuan nodded, and asked again, "What about you?" ”

A sturdy black man saluted and said: "Your Majesty, the minister Hong Xishan, it turned out to be a general of Xinghua, and he is willing to die for His Majesty." ”

Another general immediately came out of the ranks, bowed deeply to Gao Yihuan, and said loudly: "Minister Huang Ting, I have heard of Your Majesty's prestige for a long time, and it is really a blessing for you to be able to serve Your Majesty today!" ”

His words attracted the sideways glances of many generals, but Gao Yihuan bowed slightly, he needed such a dog leg who knew the current affairs.

Next, a few more generals came out to report their identities, Gao Yihuan encouraged them one by one, and sighed in his heart, among these people, many of them should have become Zheng Chenggong's generals, but the dispute between Dawei and Daming was not as good as the dispute between the Ming and Qing dynasties, Dawei did not shave their hair and was easy to obey, and many people who should have followed Zheng Chenggong surrendered to Dawei.

This is a good phenomenon for Gao Yihuan, which makes him more confident in forming a strong sailor.

After Gao Yihuan and others finished introducing, he immediately smiled and said: "Very good, you can see the general trend clearly, surrender to the Great Wei, and let the people suffer less from the war, and I am very relieved." In the future, the sea frontier of the Great Wei Dynasty still needs to rely on you, as long as you work hard, I will not treat you badly. ”

"The ministers are willing to serve their lives!" The crowd hurriedly saluted.

Gao Yihuan bowed his head with satisfaction, and then walked towards Mawei Harbor and asked Gao Chengxun: "Chengxun, Nanyang Sailor, how is the situation now?" ”

Gao Chengxun immediately replied: "Your Majesty, the sailors have already gathered the recruits, but there is a shortage of ships. ”

Zheng Zhilong's generals, there were more than 100,000 people, most of whom surrendered to the Great Wei, and the Wei State selected the elite from them, and recruited a group of young and strong, and soon gathered 30,000 people.

Gao Yihuan heard this and asked, "How can the ship solve it?" ”

Gao Chengxun pointed to the distance, piles of logs, and tall slipways, "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry has recruited a large number of craftsmen, the Zheng family has left a lot of wood, and the workshop has begun to build warships." ”

Gao Yihuan looked from afar, saw the keel on the slipway, and the busy craftsmen, and waved his horsewhip, "Go to the shipyard first!" ”

~~~~~

Gao Yihuan, escorted by the cavalry, roared towards the shipyard.

On the hill not far from Mawei Port, a farmer with a basket on his back to collect medicine looked at the smoke and dust raised by the cavalry with a solemn expression, and muttered in his mouth: "It stands to reason that Gao Yihuan should go back to the north directly, how did he come to Fujian, and he came to Mawei to check in person, it seems that he attaches great importance to the water division, and with the national strength of the Wei thief, it is not difficult to build a water division, and the national surname is in danger!" ”

As long as Gao Yihuan is willing to invest, it will not take a few years for the sea to be the warships of Wei, and with the manpower and material resources of Nanming, it will inevitably fail in the end.

At that time, any strategy and strategy was not worth mentioning in the face of the huge gap in national strength.

The farmer watched Gao Yihuan enter the shipyard, lowered the hat, put away the medicine hoe, and left in a hurry, he had to set up a naval base in Mawei Port for the Wei army, large-scale shipbuilding, and the news of Gao Yihuan's presence was passed on to the country surnamed Ye, so that the country surnamed Ye could prepare early.
