The Red House starts from Liaodong

Words are the bridge of communication, the inner expression.

Liu Xianglian said that there are endless disasters and robbers.It made everyone in the hall agree, not only convinced Jin Jiangzhen's civil and military mind, but even Feng Shengzhi was speechless.

Likewise, it brought him respect.

This young man is talented.

"Do you still have doubts about the civil unrest in Shaanxi?"

Seeing that everyone did not continue to question Liu Xianglian, Tang Qing'an smiled.

He said that the civil disturbances in Shaanxi were serious, some people listened to them, and some people acted according to their own plans because of their own prestige.

But next year's battle is very important, and it needs to be united.

Liu Xianglian lived up to his expectations, so Tang Qing'an was very satisfied with this person.

"Marquis Ping Liao is wise and can judge important events thousands of miles away through documents. It is precisely because Marquis Ping Liao ordered me to pay special attention to Shaanxi.

Therefore, the matter of Shaanxi has been inquired very carefully, otherwise I would not believe it. "

Liu Xianglian is young, but her way of flattering is natural, without the slightest deliberation, and not annoying.

Tang Qing'an had high hopes for Liu Xianglian.

Now the secrets of Jinjiang Town are running around, Chen Deyan is in the capital, Jia Jian is in Jinzhou, Tao Jie is in North Korea, these three people are not weaker than Liu Xianglian.

Or it can be said that the talent and experience of these three people are stronger than Liu Xianglian.

But Liu Xianglian has a skill that is unmatched by everyone.

He is capable of literary and military skills, comes from a noble family, and is good at swordsmanship.

This person's family lintel, communication skills, comprehensive vision, proficiency in martial arts and other aspects of ability.

It is suitable for Jin Jiangzhen's secret mission in Japan.

However, this matter should not be rushed. The top priority now is to deal with the barbarians, otherwise any plan will not be implemented.

Moreover, Liu Xianglian needs more qualifications and experience, and at the same time make more contributions, in order to gain the trust of Jinjiang Town and take on this great task.

"People's sentiments in the country are very important to the current Jinjiang Town, so you are appointed to keep Jinjiang Town's secrets.

Cooperate with Chen Deyan from Beijing, and Tang Zhanwang from Jinling. The three of you cooperate with each other. I don't know if you want to. "

Tang Qing'an laughed.

Chen Deyan is the third brother of Marquis Pingliao, and Tang Zhanwang is the second brother of Marquis Pingliao.

Of course Liu Xianglian is willing to work with these two close relatives of Marquis Ping Liao.

When Liu Xianglian and Feng Ziying bid farewell.

Sitting on Jinjiang Town's boat, he not only has the status of Jinjiang Town's military commander, but also can mobilize Jinjiang Town's manpower in the country.

On the sea, Liu Xianglian looked back in the direction of Jinzhou, and her inner emotions could not be calmed for a long time.

It is precisely because of his high vision, intelligence and wisdom that the more he knows that Jinjiang Town in the future is no small matter, and whether he can occupy a place in it.

He clenched his fists, his face full of confidence.

The sea is boundless.

A merchant ship departing from Jinling, with the flag of Jinjiang Town on it, and grain purchased from the south in the cabin.

Golden State's half-opening method in disguise.

Merchants add scripts to the local grain prices and sell them to Golden State to obtain tax exemption and convenience for trade.

However, sea transportation does not have many checkpoints on land and waterways, and it is heavily managed.

Therefore, there are more and more merchant ships in Jinling transporting grain to Lushun Wharf, large and small merchant ships every month.

The highest carrying capacity is more than [-] stones, and the smallest is more than [-] stones. Except for a few months when ships cannot sail, there are more than [-] ships going back and forth every month.

Nearly 20 shi of grain can be transported to Lushun a year, and various local products of Lushun can be traded.

Various furs, pine nuts, hazelnuts, dried mushrooms, fungus, etc. As for the most coveted ginseng, it is a special product of Lushun.

Except for a few specific merchants in Jinling, other ordinary merchants cannot buy them.

With the great success of Jeju Island's opening of the sea, Jia Jinling's sea ban opened a disguised opening, and more and more businessmen joined in.

From the original dozens of ships to more than a hundred ships, in just half a year this year, it has increased to nearly two hundred ships, and it is still rising, according to this speed.

At the beginning of next year, there will be 250 ships, and a total of 40 shi of grain can be sent to Jinzhou every month, and a total of [-] shi for the months of sailing a year.

From the perspective of transporting food, although the ships of various countries are large, they also carry a lot of goods, and they only go back and forth once a year.

The food obtained by the sea trade in Jeju Island is not even one-fifth of the commercial road from Jinling to Lushun.

And the situation in each country is complicated.

Annan, for example.

Everyone thinks that there is a lot of food in Annan, but in fact there is not much food in Annan, and there are also human disasters. If there is really a lot of food, the former Ming Dynasty would not be defeated in Annan.

Also, in years when Annan’s man-made disasters were light and there was a surplus of grain, it was impossible to sell the excess grain, but to attack neighboring countries.

Annan has always been an object of vigilance by neighboring countries.

Moreover, Annan's country is relatively closed and excludes foreigners. Except for the Dutch, the hard-line Spaniards can't buy food in Annan, let alone ordinary businessmen.

And Japan.

Japan is also short of food now. The shogunate and daimyos from all over the world have the strictest control over food. It is a fantasy to buy food from Japan.

Treat Japan's ruling class as fools.

If someone came to Jinzhou to buy grain, Tang Qing'an would definitely treat him lightly.

and so.

When the merchants in Jinling brought news of the pirates, Tang Qing'an immediately caught his attention.

The whole world in this period, excluding other political factors, such as North Korea and Jinjiang.

As far as commerce and trade are concerned, only the south of the Great Zhou Dynasty can squeeze out a worthy amount of grain and sell it to Jinzhou.

As for the Ryukyu Kingdom, sending troops to plunder grain, the income is not as good as the output, which is a loss-making business.

"Call Shen Yourong, Yan Zhongzheng is coming to Jinzhou quickly."

Tang Qing'an immediately sent someone to summon him and wrote a letter to Jinling at the same time.

There have been no signs of pirates for many years, but now they are suddenly resurgent, and everyone in Jinling is in fear.

The governor and the chief secretary are all telling the court to remind the pirates of the signs.

Pirates in Fujian and Guangdong are becoming more and more rampant, and now they have even arrived here in Jinling. If it is really like the previous ones who went ashore to slaughter Panyu, everyone would not be afraid.

People are afraid of losing their lives, and officials are afraid of losing their positions.

The imperial court agreed to Jinling's memorial to restore the navy, and strictly ordered the Guangdong General and Fujian officials to vigorously crack down on pirates.

From top to bottom, Jinling has benefited from Jeju Island Maritime Trade and Lushun Maritime Trade.

At the beginning, it went from ten to two million taels per year to one or two million taels a year, and each of them made a lot of money.

Therefore, I have no objection to what Marquis Ping Liao said about co-managing the sea.

The newly established navy in Jinling is responsible for the outer seas of Jinling, and the navy of Jinjiang Town is responsible for the outer seas of Lushun and Jeju Island.

"In response to the imperial court's call, I am going to reorganize the Jinzhou navy to meet the imperial court's requirements."

The two navy generals transferred from China, Shen Yourong and Yan Zhongzheng, have been in Jinzhou for six years, and they have long been convinced.

Otherwise, the two of them would not be able to stay until now.

Because of the cooperation of the two, the navy in Jinjiang Town has never been suspected by the court.

If these two people also impeached Tang Qing'an like Wei Yi did, although they could be settled, the consequences would be difficult to settle.

Therefore, Tang Qing'an had always been more polite to the two of them, and did not make them feel bad. For example, the reorganization of the navy this time was also in the name of the court.

Marquis Ping Liao held high the name of the imperial court, Shen Yourong and Yan Zhongzheng felt no burden.

"How is the general going to arrange it?"

Tang Qing'an is going to throw the navy into the open sea.

In the past, sailors were needed, coastal raids against barbarians, and accommodation of Liao people.

Now as the barbarians have retreated deeply into the interior, Jinzhou's navy can no longer play much role.

The Navy's status in Jinzhou is now plummeting, but Tang Qing'an will not be so short-sighted.

"The naval division is also divided into three battalions, and the first battalion is handed over to Mr. Shen Ying, who is responsible for the business route from Jeju Island to Jinling.

The first battalion was handed over to General Yan Ying, who was in charge of the business route from Lushun to Jinling.

The Li Erbattalion stationed in Jinzhou remains unchanged, and the naval and military preparations at Lushun Port and Changshan Island remain unchanged. "

The two of them understood.

The general's arrangement was indeed to combat pirates, and the two were happy to do so, keeping away from the conflict between the court and the general.

In case one day, that step is really reached, it will save the two of them from being embarrassed, out of sight, out of mind.

Seeing that the two had no objection, Tang Qing'an immediately asked the military commander to make arrangements.

Battalion Commander Shen Yourong, Deputy Battalion Commander Zhou Gou'er had 2000 sailors and 500 warships.The battalion commander Yan Zhengzhong has [-] sailors and [-] large and small warships.

A total of 170 warships of various types and 500 sailors.

With the reconstruction of the Jinling Navy, pirates are not taken seriously, and it is useless to have many people on the sea.

The sea stretches as far as the eye can see, it is luck to meet pirates, and it is normal not to meet pirates.

Moreover, if the Jinling navy sails together on a large scale, it will be more difficult to encounter pirates, and if the patrols are scattered.

The Jinling navy had no combat experience, but was defeated by pirates and captured two Jinling warships.

No one in Jinling dared to report to the police and concealed the defeat.

Keeping the truth in mind, Jinling's navy became less and less afraid to patrol alone, and often needed a large group to go to sea.

Therefore, Shen Yourong and Yan Zhengzhong had no choice but to go deep into the sea, the farthest time, chasing the pirate ship and even went to the sea near Jinling.

The sea is really different from the mainland.

It is difficult to track down the enemy even on the grassland, let alone the sea.

With the emergence of the Jinjiang Town Navy, although the rampant pirates were cracked down, they could not be eradicated.

Shen Yourong and Yan Zhongzheng suggested that the Jinling Navy has ships, soldiers and supplies, and they can cooperate with the Jinling Navy to patrol.

This matter is impossible unless the court allows it.

But if the impossible is done, there must be a special reason.

That is interest.

Everyone in Jinling was unwilling to lose their interests, so the court didn't even know that the navy of Jinjiang Town had joined forces with the Jinling navy.

Jinjiang Town only needs to dispatch a small number of warships to lead the warships of the Jinling Navy to patrol the sea off Jinling.

Such and such.

For the rest of the year, the pirates suffered serious setbacks and lacked profits. Most of them gradually retreated, leaving only a small number of unwilling ones who chose to stay.

If the business of Jinling and Jinjiang Town is not destroyed, the smuggling businessmen in Fujian and Guangdong will be in a desperate situation.

They have no way out.

Go broke, or take it all in.

However, the pirates in Fujian and Guangdong had complex sources of ships, and there were no large ships in Dazhou.

Many pirate ships were changed from inland ferries.

Jinling's warships are not comparable to pirates. What is worse is the combat ability of the sailors. With the addition of the Jinjiang Town Navy.

They are powerless against the general trend.

One party starts, one party prospers.

Just like the rise of Jinjiang Town, the prosperity of the barbarians has been affected, and it is also like the prosperity of Jinjiang Town's sea trade.

It's not just smugglers in Fujian and Guangdong who are affected.

In fact, it was the UK that was most affected.

But the UK doesn't know that.

Whether the British Jenny machine will appear or not is really not certain, it is very difficult.
