Chapter 313: Immortal Venerable is also difficult
In fact, the main way to express reverence to immortals in various places is to send beautiful women.
After all, Immortal Venerable didn't have any other requirements.
Needless to say, the gold and silver treasures, the immortal Zun is all a little stone into gold, gems like sand, and even now the finances of the Chinese Holy Dynasty are largely dependent on his selling out of various luxury goods, which are important supplements to the finances of the Holy Dynasty, otherwise with the low land endowment and official land rent, it will not be able to support hundreds of thousands of troops and administrative institutions at all levels, as well as compulsory education water conservancy facilities and industrial development, just one compulsory education is terrifying enough, what dynasty has had such a good thing? But it's good, it's also a gold-swallowing beast, in the newly built rural primary schools, not only the teachers are paid by the imperial court, but even the students have to take care of a meal that must be eaten at noon every day! Over time, it's a huge investment.
Not to mention the rest.
Those enjoyments in the world are not worth mentioning to the immortals.
This woman is the only one.
After all, the more heirs Xianzun left in the world, the more he cares about the world in the future, in order to avoid Xianzun from no longer caring about the affairs of the world after returning to the heavenly realm, the best way is to stuff him with a beautiful woman, and then let him give birth to a thousand eight hundred children, not to mention that there are still thousands of women in the Qing Demon Palace, and it is too shabby to have a total of hundreds of maids in this fairy palace.
Therefore, the craze for sending maids to immortals in various places is intensifying, and even those commanders in Sichuan have joined in, and during this time, Yang Fengguangchuan has received dozens of sisters.
Now it's a newcomer again.
"I have received your heart."
Yang Feng said to Zheng Yi seriously.
"However, it is absolutely not allowed to disturb the people with this, and it is not okay to rob things like this, thinking that you are far away, and you don't know about these things, this time you will not be punished, but this kind of thing will never be forgiven in the future!"
Then he said.
"Disciple Honor!"
Zheng Yi lay on the ground and said in fear.
He is a pirate family, how can he have so many scruples, just see which woman is beautiful and robbed!
"As for these girls, I think they are also poor families, and they are also suffering at sea when they go back, so stay here, you go back and give their parents some money as compensation, and explain that they stay here to serve Mazu, I am about to set up a shrine to worship the gods, and Mazu is also going to be sacrificed there, so let them serve Mazu there!"
Yang Feng said.
He didn't accept beauties simply to satisfy his yin desires, in fact, he didn't touch most of the maids in the fairy palace, after all, they were given to him by fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls, and it was impossible to send him Kaifeng, and it was difficult for him to do it now against the junior high school students of the fairy palace, and it was not good to say directly that you sent me some bigger ones, and I still have to maintain my majesty after all.
It's also difficult to say that Immortal Venerable!
But these people don't mean the same thing to their hometowns.
Being able to serve Xianzun in the Immortal Palace means that the people of their hometown have a special relationship with Xianzun, in addition, they are salary system, and they have holidays every year, and when they go home for vacation, they also act as messengers between Xianzun and the people in their hometown, so that those people feel psychologically that they have a direct channel to Tianting, in fact, they can indeed reach Tianting through these maids, and even one of the tasks of these maids themselves is to do this.
Zheng Yi robbed these Tan people, he is a pirate and he doesn't go ashore, where can he rob the beautiful women if he doesn't snatch them from the Tan people?
And the Tan people are also for Mazu.
These girls staying here to serve Mazu is enough to hold the Tan people, so that the Fujian and Guangdong pirate groups and the coastal Tan people, it can be said that the entire southeast sea is in his hands, these people can also form an alliance, and their alliance plus some new warships, even if it is not a European sail battleship, or all the small warships such as old lock ships, can also crush the Qing army and sailors, which has been proved by the extensive use of red single ships in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
The same is also enough for the expedition to Dagukou.
"At present, with the help of the Wu family, the disciple has obtained two battleships from the British, but they are very old, each can only carry forty guns, the advantage is that the hull is quite strong, according to the will of the Immortal Zun, Zhu Li was given one, and through some friends in Nanyang plus the help of the Wu family, eight armed merchant ships were purchased, four of which are of the Western Demon type, each ship can carry twenty or thirty guns, and Zhu Li is also half each. Then from Macao, Jiading, Haxian and Zhu Li's clouds, the disciple's Lantau Island, etc., even orders and their own manufacturing, a total of 40 old lock ships are under construction, and by next spring, the latest warships in the hands of the disciples and Zhu Li will not be less than 50, and the minimum number of cannons will be more than 20, but there are no too big cannons, and the maximum can only carry the kind of 24-pounder cannon of the heroic demon. ”
Zheng Yi said.
His main task this time was to report on his work.
During this time, he and Zhu Li's main work was to integrate the Fujian and Guangdong pirates, and at the same time did his best to buy and build new warships and cannons, he had Lantau Island, Zhu Lian had Yunxiao, the rebels of the Tiandihui on the shore quickly broke through Huizhou after Boluo raised troops, but failed to hold in Huizhou, transferred to Hailufeng under the attack of the Qing army, backed by the logistics support of Zheng Yi and others, defeated the attacking Qing army many times, and relied on the policy of fighting local tyrants and dividing the land to gain a firm foothold in the Hailufeng area.
At this time, the Qing troops in Guangdong and Fujian did not have any support from the outside world, and their combat effectiveness and will to fight were not very good, and they were completely unable to deal with these rebels armed with a large number of British munitions.
Of course, it was also difficult for the rebels to develop outward.
After all, the landlords of Guangdong have also begun to train on a large scale, because of the natural advantages, they also hire a large number of foreign mercenaries, in fact, the two sides are currently in a stalemate on land, but the sea is completely the world of the Zhu and Zheng families, the rot of the Qing army and the navy is completely rotten, originally in history they were even beaten by Cai Lian, with the Fujian and Zhejiang provinces of the water division besieged Cai Lian, and finally ended up with a Zhejiang naval commander Li Changgeng was killed, and Cai Lian is just one of the rising pirates, It is still a few points worse than a pirate family like the Zheng family, and at this time, the naval divisions of Fujian and Guangdong provinces of the Qing army need to face a large alliance of Fujian and Guangdong pirates, and it is also an alliance strengthened by relying on new warships.
As for Zhu Li's base in Yunxiao, it was almost a place where the attackers were desperate, not to mention that the Qing army in Fujian was not interested in asking for hardship.
That is to say, now the Chinese Holy Dynasty has a base in Fujian and Guangdong, Hailufeng in Guangdong and Yunxiao in Fujian, both of which are backed by the sea, protected by the fleets of Zhu Li and Zheng Yi, and their financial support is supported by various luxury goods given by Yang Feng in addition to smuggling, in fact, they can support themselves without these luxuries, because they are both developing towards Ziyou Port, whether it is Europe or the South Seas, a large number of merchant ships have passed, and the goods smuggled by the coastal people with small fishing boats are traded with these merchant ships in these two places, After all, both of them were pirates, and their understanding of trade was far better than that of the Manchu officials.
"You guys did a great job!"
Yang Feng said.
He was very satisfied that they had been able to do this, after all, they had largely played it all on their own.
"By the way, you just said that Hexian, is the Mo family still there?"
Then he asked.
"Back to Xianzun, Hexian is still in the hands of the Mo family, but since the Guangnan Kingdom was destroyed by the Xishan Army, coupled with Zheng Xin's attack on Hexian, the Mo family is now much worse than before, and now it is Mo Gongzhi in charge, but the Xishan Army is basically about to unify Annan, and it will definitely go south next, and the Mo family may not last a few years."
Zheng Yi said.
"There are still some remnants of the former Ming Dynasty in Saigon, right?"
Yang Feng asked.
"What Xianzun said is Chen Shangchuan, right? After Chen Shangchuan's death, their branch is still thriving in the Jiading area, Ruan Phuc Ying of Guangnan still controls Jiading, he is supported by Chen Shangchuan's descendants, in fact, at this time, there are still many Chinese people in Nanyang, Siam needless to say, although Zheng Xin is dead, but there are still a large number of Chinese people there, Borneo's Lanfang Company, Luo Fangbo can almost be called the king of Pontianak, and the same is true for other places in Malacca, and the total number of our Chinese people in the entire Nanyang is probably several millions. ”
Zheng Yi said.
"What is the situation in Nanyang at this time?"
Yang Feng asked.
"Annam has basically been controlled by the Xishan Army, Nguyen Van Hue is in the north, Nguyen Van Ngao is in the south, the two families are also in constant infighting, Nguyen Phuc Anh controls Gia Dinh, the Mo family controls Ha Xian, and the Cambodian king of Phnom Penh is An Anh, but under the suppression of Zheng Hua in Siam, he actually barely protects himself, Zheng Hua is the king of Siam, that is, he killed Zheng Xin, and lied that Zheng Xin's son when he gave the Qing demon, in fact, it has nothing to do with Zheng Xin, and then to the west is Burma, at this time the king of Myanmar is Meng Yun, they and Siam are mortal enemies, but they all believe in the Tianzhu Demon Sect. To the south of Siam and Myanmar are Pahang, Perak, Kedah and other small countries that believe in the Muslim demon, but the British have occupied Penang, the Dutch have occupied Malacca, and then to the south of Sumatra are also some small countries that believe in the Muslim demon, all the way to Mindanao, these islands are all there, but the Dutch have the final say there, South Borneo is the Lanfang company, and then east is the territory of the Spaniards. ”
Zheng Yi said.
"You send someone to contact the Mo family, Luo Fangbo, and these people, I will be useful in the future, and Ruan Fuying will also contact them."
Yang Feng said.
This Nanyang also has to be laid out in advance.
There are so many good chess pieces, why not use them? For example, Nguyen Phuc Anh can fully support him and the Tay Son Army to continue the war to fight back to Vietnam, in this process, the Chinese in Jiading, that is, Saigon, will definitely hold power, and when the time comes, Nguyen Phuc Ying will become a subject country of the Holy Dynasty, and the Mo family can develop to Cambodia, and then encourage the Chinese in Siam, and everyone will take Zheng Hua together so that Siam is also solved, and Luo Fangbo has more to say, not to mention that there is no problem in turning Pontianak into a military base for the Chinese Holy Dynasty, and then Borneo will be taken.
Anyway, these people have to take advantage of it!
