Chapter 112: Decision

Zhang Han gently knocked on the table with his hand, these materials, add up to the cost of manpower, material resources and materials, I am afraid it will cost more than 200,000 yuan, plus the shipbuilding cost of more than 100,000 yuan per ship, next year it is estimated that Taiwan will use more than one million to use all of it for shipbuilding, and it is not necessarily enough, the income of Ping'an, next year was originally planned to be at least 600,000 yuan or more, this is the silver for the foundation, in fact, everyone hopes to hand over one million, the Finance Bureau of the Military Command Department has begun to make next year's budget, and this income Tian Jitang intends to add it.

Zhang Han can also understand this kind of mentality, Taiwan's side will invest three years until next year, and every year the iron trade and a large amount of trade income are reserved for Taiwan, after all, it is the military department that is so nervous, Taiwan's investment has exceeded 2 million, so far only last year's 600,000 taels of returns, input and output are really not proportional.

Everyone present looked at Zhang Han, no matter what everyone thought in their hearts, Zhang Han was the only one who was really in charge.

Zhang Han didn't hesitate for too long, and after knocking his fingers for a while, he said, "Okay, just do what you say." ”

Wang Yan was stunned, he didn't expect the adult to agree so quickly.

Sun Jingting and the others were a little surprised, and Li Shenming's face showed even more displeasure.

Zhang Han said: "We are not immersed in Taiwan's affairs, and we can't understand the determination of the marching division. Moreover, the speaker is the entire marching division, and none of them put forward a different opinion, which shows that not only Chang Wei, but also Zhang Xuwen, Li Pingzhi, Jiang Kui, Li Shouxin and other high-level officials in Taiwan all hold the same opinion. I know you feel sorry for the money, but sometimes, the money that should be spent is the money that needs to be spent. ”

Li Shenming said in a deep voice: "If this is the case, it seems that the focus and center of next year should be on the Taiwan side. ”

"Pretty much." Zhang Han said with a solemn expression: "To be honest, the Chahar people, even the Dongyu, I have nothing to worry about. The Eastern Captives are strong, but if we defend the forts, the Eastern Captives have no chance of taking us. The northern captives are already dead, and there are some unconvinced tribes that can be slowly eliminated in the future. Only Taiwan's side, the layout is very heavy, and it is also quite a key place, so to speak, I can now lose the Thirteen Mountains and Kuandian Phi Island, as long as Taiwan is there, it is not a big problem. So you don't have to feel sorry for the silver, as long as the Taiwan side has a foothold, and it will take another three years, 10 million taels of silver, as long as I drive the Dutch away and dominate the sea, these investments will definitely be worth it. ”

"Your Excellency is wise and decisive!" Wang Yan became excited, he felt that he still had a lot to say, and even if he was ready to make a big quarrel, he would draw everyone's attention to the changes in the situation in Taiwan.

"I don't think 3,000 of you will be enough." Zhang Han pressed his palm weakly, and said: "Li Shouxin's 3,000 people want to protect the headquarters of the marching division, and to prevent and purge the local natives, although the Dutch only have a 1,000-strong land army, they have sea power, and it is very easy to increase troops." If they increase their troops to 2,000 or even 3,000, your life will be very difficult, and the whole situation of Taiwan will become very troublesome. ”

Wang Yan's face changed, and at this level, everyone, including Li Shouxin, had not considered it.

After all, purely from the perspective of land warfare, Li Shouxin's Fourth Regiment had a very good team of officers, quite hard training, and quite good artillery and guns, and the victory against Yan Siqi's troops proved that the soldiers of the merchant regiment were excellent, and the whole battle was as easy as chopping melons and vegetables.

It may be impossible for a merchant army to fight a hundred natives, but a merchant army composed of a hundred people can easily fight a thousand or two thousand natives.

This is the battle formation, training, coordination, plus the gap formed by weapons and armor, the more people, the more vulnerable the opponent is.

But from the point of view of pure military science, if the Dutch master the sea, they can attack and retreat, and the initiative is in their hands, and whether the war will be small-scale or whether the Dutch will be determined to eradicate the alien forces on the island, who can say clearly?

Zhang Han turned to Sun Jingting and asked, "Which one can be urgently transferred to Taiwan now?" ”

Sun Jingting thought for a moment and said: "Each regiment is either stationed on the front line or undergoing dragoon reform, only Wang Yikui's first regiment has not been reorganized, and the formation is intact. In addition, Li Zhiye's Third Regiment was stationed between Xinghe and the old Central Capital, and they did not carry out the reform. ”

The first, second, and third infantry regiments are old teams, and the officers are mainly experienced veteran officers, and most of them have followed Zhang Han for many years. There are also a considerable number of veterans who have followed the old people for many years, from Xinpingbao to Lizhuang all the way to the present, so these three regiments, the first regiment is stationed near Qingcheng, the second regiment is stationed in Yunnei, and the third regiment is stationed in Xinghe, and the three regiments are in a triangle to firmly guard Qingcheng in the center......

"Don't adjust the group." Zhang Han decided: "The three infantry regiments of One, Two, and Three will each transfer one or two companies, plus an artillery battalion, to form two infantry battalions, more than 1,000 people will be transferred over first, and they are still recruiting and training recruits on Phi Island, and they will be organized into a battalion and transferred from Phi Dao, so that another regiment will be put together, this regiment is called Jiang Kui and the leader, he will serve as the deputy commander of the marching department over there, and give him something specific to do. Jiang Kui was restrained by Li Shouxin, and he was never allowed to besiege and resist the military order with his old qualifications, so well, the military order department was immediately deployed, and the preparations for the transfer of the army could begin now, but the official operation could be carried out after the year...... Don't ask people to hurry in the ice and snow at this time. ”

"Since Taiwan is in danger, why care about the New Year?" Sun Jingting had just resisted Taiwan's request, but now he said angrily: "The so-called industrious king's affairs, should not be afraid of the weather or what is the New Year's Eve, I will start to prepare when I go back, and within three days I will be transferred to all departments, and all departments will set off before the year and arrive in Tianjin within half a month!" ”

Everyone nodded silently, since there is a crisis on the Taiwan side, then of course we must act vigorously and resolutely, and there is no warmth at all.

Zhang Han can make a compassionate attitude, of course Sun Jingting and others must carry these things that offend people, otherwise what is the use of setting up political officials and political councils?

Li Shenming smiled: "They will read you well, filial piety!" ”

"It doesn't matter." Sun Jingting turned to Wang Yan and said, "I remember that the Taiwan side is in Tianjin every month, isn't it?" ”

"Yes......" Wang Yan said, "This is a war readiness plate, if no new ship arrives, the old ship will always be parked in the port to repair and wait for goods, and also replenish food and fresh water." Sometimes, supplies are delivered to Phi Koh. ”

"That's good." Sun Jingting turned to Zhang Han and said: "We will send a small boat to Phi Dao to give orders, and at the same time, the adults can issue an order for all departments to cooperate with Taiwan to find suitable wood, and call the 12th Regiment to be the first priority." It is necessary to use all means to ensure Taiwan's use of wood, and it is best to prepare the first batch of 1,000 large logs within one to two months. ”

Only then did Wang Yan understand the style of these high-level military ministers!

Vigorous and thoughtful, there are few omissions. In addition, there is nothing remarkable about things that are quite organized and difficult to feel, as long as you do things according to the arrangement, you can ensure that everything goes smoothly.

"Shipbuilding is a big deal." Zhang Han said again: "But have people been waiting for you to collect money at sea with peace of mind, or have they waited for you to build a big ship to find him desperately?" Things in the world are not so easy and freehand, the enemy is likely to first transfer capital ships to blockade the sea, or simply blockade Bengang, after the sea blockade, we will not be able to supply, cut off contact, as long as the blockade is half a year, the Taiwan side will not fight and defeat. ”

Wang Yan said very uneasily: "We haven't taken this layer into account yet......"

Li Shenming said dissatisfiedly: "This shows that you are still too tender!" ”

Everyone didn't answer this, which involved the evaluation of Chang Wei......

"They'll have a way around it." Zhang Han was quite tolerant, smiled, and said: "From the Lu Lu Tang newspaper to pass on our worries, I believe that the Taiwan Marching Division will definitely find a way to solve the problem, and one thing must be certain, even if Zheng Junmen is asked to take the risk of using the Fujian Navy Division to cooperate, it must not be able to ask the Dutch to really establish a blockade line." Trade losses are still a trivial matter, and we cannot afford to take the risk of losing the entire Taiwan base. ”

The people present were not high-level but also confidants, and they all knew that Taiwan was an important layout of Zhang Han that was not inferior to the grassland, and they all looked a little awe-inspiring at the moment, and everyone did not expect that Taiwan would encounter a strong enemy as soon as it was on the right track.

Li Shenming sighed: "Our side is facing the north, the east is on the side, and the Ming is on the back. It seems that it is not easy for Taiwan to prevent malaria, open up wasteland for farming, and immigrate to Tuntian, there are natives in front of them, there are Ming Dynasty behind them, there are bandits at sea, and there are real foreign strong enemies such as the Netherlands and Spain. ”

"It's not easy." Zhang Han said with a smile: "The male husband just wants to do something that is not so easy, if it is easy, Brother Li should still be a staff member at Ma Zongbing, helping to take care of business, and the younger brother should continue to do the business handed down from his ancestors in Xinpingbao, which is of course much easier than now, but life is much more boring!" ”

"What Wen Lan said is extremely true." Li Shenming showed emotion on his face, raised his wine glass, and actually drank a glass himself.

"There is still a difficult road ahead, and it is not the time for Yanle." Sun Jingting stood up and said, "It's inconvenient for me to delay here, I'll go and plan the exhibition now, everyone, take your leave." ”
