1635 Han style rises again

Chapter 220 The Heart of Hanzhou
"Everyone, I have read the annual statistical reports of your various departments. However, I am very dissatisfied!" Qi Tian looked at all the heads of various departments under the civil government, shook his head and said: "There are too many gaps in your data. Subjective modification."

As he said that, Qi Tian picked up a statistical report from the Agriculture Department, "Last year, our Hanzhou produced a total of more than 460 tons of grain, of which about [-] tons of wheat,..."

He read a string of Hanzhou annual grain production figures in 1637, and then said: "The data inside are full of too many uncertain sentences, such as about, many, perhaps, etc. These words, when counting data, , cannot appear.”

"You must strictly count and calculate all the numbers. One is one, and two is two. Uncertain words such as approximate, perhaps, approximate cannot appear. Also, when you count the results of the previous year, it is best to be detailed. Divide into all categories. Of course, there are some problems in the management of our civil government. For example, we can design the corresponding form and account book of statistical data in advance, so that you and the workshops and villages below can directly fill in the numbers..."

"You have to remember that the statistical data of industrial and agricultural production results in various parts of Hanzhou must be accurate and detailed. Because many of the decisions we make come from these data results."

"...Because the civil government was first established last year, various affairs and processes were not standardized. But after more than a year of operation and practice, I hope that all our officials and staff will improve and improve. Various departments, workers In workshops, and even in villages, the daily study and training of office staff must be continued. Because there will be more and more immigrants in our Hanzhou, and there will be more and more vacant departments and officials. I hope that you will expand in the future The regions and towns can be unique and quickly transform it into a driving force for the development of Hanzhou."

"Chairman, the black-clothed guard is looking for you." Pan Qifeng reminded Qi Tian in a low voice next to Qi Tian when he was speaking: "It seems that there is something important."

Qi Tian looked at the black-clothed guard standing at the door, and waved to him.

"Chief Chief, Deputy Chief Pan." The black-clothed guard who came cupped his fists and saluted the two, and then said, "There is important news from Batavia, Commander Yu asked the two of you to come over."

Qi Tian and Pan Qifeng looked at each other, and couldn't help feeling a little bit in their hearts.The important information from Batavia can only be about the Chinese-Dutch coalition expedition to Luzon.The black-clothed guard who came had a dignified expression. It seemed that this important news should not be good news.

"What happened?" Qi Tian asked in a low voice after walking out of the civil government building.

The guard in black looked around and replied in a low voice: "Seven ships of the Dutch fleet were wiped out by the Spaniards in Luzon, and even the commander was trapped there."

Qi Tian's footsteps froze, and he froze.The Han-Dutch coalition fleet, with a total of fifteen armed merchant ships, how could the Spaniards annihilate seven ships?According to everyone's calculations in advance, the Spaniards in Luzon definitely did not have more than eight usable warships.Even if some small and medium-sized merchant ships are added, the seven ships of the Han-Dutch coalition army cannot be eaten at once!

"The Spaniards lured eight Dutch armed merchant ships to the port of Zamboanga, and then they were surrounded and wiped out by the temporary fort on the shore and five or six Spanish warships." Yu Fukun said with a wry smile.

"Then what's the news from the Grand Commander?" Pan Qifeng said worriedly.

"No." Yu Fukun said: "The warship that the Dutch escaped and the two warships that stayed on Hele Island returned directly to Batavia. The three warships and the rest of the Dutch There is no news about the two warships yet.”

Qi Tian couldn't help feeling a little worried.Your sister, the Dutch are too careless, the three warships fled directly back to Batavia.On the sea, are you still afraid that the Spaniards will block you?At the very least, you can do a little guerrilla attack on the islands controlled by the Spaniards in Luzon, so that you can cover the five warships of the Han-Dutch coalition army to return smoothly.After all, they also carry many armies.

If Cao Xiong and his five warships were entangled by the Spaniards, they might not be able to escape as easily as those three Dutch armed merchant ships.

Qi Tian began to quickly calculate in his mind that what Cao Xiong brought was the most important force in Hanzhou, not only three armed merchant ships with certain combat effectiveness, but also the more than 500 marines who had more than a year of training and had actual combat experience. .If something unexpected happens, then Hanzhou will be unable to show force to the outside world in a short time.

What's more, Cao Xiong and Qi Dajiang are also in the fleet. Whenever something unexpected happens, Qi Tian asks himself, he still can't completely control Hanzhou.It seems that if Cao Xiong can return safely, in the future, no matter what, he will not be allowed to go out to fight again.

"Xiaotian, what do we need to do now?" Yu Fukun asked.

"Partially mobilize!" Qi Tian said: "The two Marine Corps companies at home are full of vacancies. Send a large amount of ordnance to Xinsheng Island (Fuguo Island) and Xinxiangbao again in case of emergency. Also, purchase War preparation materials, hoarding food."

"Weiyuan Island and a few points to the north and east, do you want to send some people there?" Pan Qifeng asked.

"Weiyuan Fort will be left alone for the time being, and Beikou, Haijiao, Weihai and other three places will send some supplies and personnel there again." Qi Tian thought for a while and said: "The supply point on the north side of Weiyuan Island, don't send the natives there for the time being. .”

Considering Weiyuan Fort and the supply point in the north, the pioneers are all Hanzhou natives and Luzon natives, and the defense facilities are only wooden fences and a few rows of wooden and brick houses.It may be enough to guard against some local savages, but if you are facing Western colonists, I am afraid that others will be able to break in in one round.

Therefore, Qitian decided to maintain the status quo first, so as not to send more supplies and personnel. If they were occupied by the Dutch or Portuguese, wouldn't it be cheaper for them.

"Are you worried that the Portuguese will attack Xinxiangbao?" Yu Fukun asked.

"In addition to the Portuguese, I am also worried about the Dutch." Qi Tian said: "They have hoarded a lot of supplies and personnel in Kupang, Timor Island, and are going to Ambon Island to quell the native riots. It is hard to guarantee that they will not fight Rabbit, drive the Portuguese out with us."

"It's not possible!" Guan Zongxiang said: "We Hanzhou and the Dutch teamed up to attack Luzon this time. We are allies of each other."

"Allies?" Qi Tian sneered, and the western colonists smiled in front of them and stabbed them in the back, which happened often.If they are shameless, you have no idea where the lower limit of morality is.

"When a crisis occurs, it is best for us to estimate all the worst outcomes. Only in this way can we avoid being at a loss after something happens." Qi Tian said: "The occurrence of any major event will cause many Chain reaction, good results, bad results, we should all anticipate and make various plans and preparations for this. You black guards must do this especially."

After finishing speaking, Qi Tian looked at the group of navy men and black guards in blue and black military uniforms, and couldn't help laughing, "As the chief executive of the civilian government, I seem to be interfering in your internal affairs again!"

"No, every time you guide, you can improve their working ability. In the future, you might as well let some backbones in the army accept your teaching and guidance. Who made us a bunch of big bosses!" Yu Fukun sighed, " There are some things that we don’t always think through.”

"There are some things that need to be learned and explored slowly. It's even better for us in Hanzhou to do what we are doing now." Qi Tian comforted.

Yu Fukun looked at Qi Tian, ​​although he was smiling and calm, but he knew that Qi Tian must be worried about the safety of Cao Xiong and Qi Dajiang, as well as the possible Hanzhou crisis.

Hanzhou seems to be inseparable from Cao Xiong's stabilizing and sustaining role for the time being.However, what would happen to Han Zhou if Qi Tian were to leave?

------------

"If Hanzhou didn't have a chief manager, we would probably be a den of robbers here!" Pan Qifeng shook his head and laughed.

"That's right! Even though the chief executive is not yet full, he understands everything and everything. Complicated civil affairs can always be sorted out clearly for you, with rules and evidence." Civil affairs under the civil government The chief official Han Yuanli said: "I have been studying since I was a child. Although I have no fame, I think I am knowledgeable. But compared with the chief executive, I am ashamed and ashamed of my humble position!"

"That's right. I've heard that some people are born to know everything, and they think it's nonsense. But the general manager really knows astronomy and geography, is familiar with history, and is familiar with foreign affairs and Western affairs. He can solve the confusion of workers and peasants. Sincerely praise it!" Zang Yuwen, chief agricultural officer, praised.

"The general manager still knows about military affairs!" Zhou Zhikai, the chief officer of the military preparation department, said: "Many training regulations for the Marine Corps and the township barracks were revised by the general manager. Although Qi Shaobao's military book summary was used for reference, I looked at it. There are still many training methods and modes of operation that have never been heard of before."

Pan Qifeng looked at the chief officials of the ministries under the civil government with satisfaction, admiring the chief executive's ability and expressing their loyalty.I feel that there are some things that I can tell everyone.

He cleared his throat, and then said seriously: "If something happens to the chief commander, do everyone support the chief executive's succession?"

When everyone heard the words, they were taken aback for a moment, and then said in unison: "After the chief commander, the chief executive will naturally succeed!"

"The Commander's Madam, but she is pregnant." Pan Qifeng said lightly.

"So what?" Zhou Zhikai, the chief officer of the military preparation department, said, "The commander-in-chief has already been decided, and the commander-in-chief will be in charge of Hanzhou after his death."

"That's right! My Hanzhou is located in the south of Nanyang, and the surrounding area is dangerous. Even if the succession is not determined, Hanzhou cannot be ruled by an unborn baby!" Han Yuanli, the chief civil officer, said.

"That's right, since Hanzhou was first established, how can the person in charge be a baby. After the Great Commander, who can have the talent of the Great Chief!"

"If something happens to the chief commander, I will support the chief executive to succeed!"

"Naturally, the chief executive will succeed!"

-----------

"Is the yellow robe added?" Qi Tian looked at Pan Qifeng and smiled.

"The chief executive is the heart of the people and the hearts of the people." Pan Qifeng said.

"You don't want to hold such small parties anymore." Qi Tian said solemnly: "The commander-in-chief will come back. Some things, we don't need to think so complicated."

Pan Qifeng looked at Qi Tian's calm face and nodded.

"We're just a little concerned."

"Do well and don't worry."

"I see."

Looking at the back of Pan Qifeng leaving, Qi Tian shook his head, the literati of the Ming Dynasty always like to mix this kind of thing, during the time of Emperor Wanli, they engaged in the struggle for the country, and after the Manchu Dynasty broke through, Nanming Xiao The imperial court even started a struggle for succession.

But in Hanzhou, the chairman is still there, so the general manager should not be so eager to take over, okay?
