Chapter 128 Penghu garrison, opening stage

Of course, in the future, the equipped ships will mainly use the three thousand catty model.Wait until the navy of the Ming army has bigger and stronger warships, and then put on five thousand catties of heavy artillery.

At that time, Portugal had already lost to the Netherlands and Spain, and was unable to compete at sea. It relied heavily on the Ming Dynasty and tried its best to meet the requirements of the Ming Dynasty. The cost of artillery was already very favorable.

At least this year or next year, Zhu Youxiao estimates that even if the imitation is successful, the cost of the artillery will be more expensive than direct purchase.

Only when mass production is achieved can the cost of artillery be reduced.Only by thoroughly grasping the technology of artillery casting, can technological innovation be possible, and the green out of the blue is better than the blue.

For this reason, at the beginning of the establishment of the Weapons and Gunpowder Bureau, Zhu Youxiao set up a reward mechanism and provided internal funds to encourage craftsmen to innovate and create.

The amount of the reward ranged from 20 taels to 200 taels. At that time, it was a huge sum of money that was enough to make ordinary people go crazy with excitement.

But in Zhu Youxiao's view, what is silver, even a small technological innovation and progress will create hundreds of times and thousands of times of value in the subsequent production process.

Therefore, this reward that surprised Xu Guangqi and others, Zhu Youxiao thinks it is definitely worth the money.

After making the final decision, the young emperor ignored the officials' whispers about the accident and summoned Shen Yourong to accompany him back to the palace.

………………

During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, Taiwan was called "Daoyi"; in the Qin Dynasty, it was called "Yingzhou"; in the Three Kingdoms period, it was called "Yizhou"; from the Sui Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty, it was called "Liuqiu".

After the mid-Ming Dynasty, the folks used many names for Taiwan, such as "Chicken Coop", "Beigang", "Da Yuan", "Taiwan Members" and "Taiwan Bay", and the official name was "Dong Fan".

As early as the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan sent people to recover Taiwan, and Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty also sent people to Taiwan. The Southern Song Dynasty had already controlled Taiwan between the hands of the stockholders, which shows that Taiwan has been China's territory since ancient times.

And Shen Yourong went deep into the island three times, beheaded and expelled the Japanese pirates, and rescued hundreds of fishermen. This was an important military action of the Ming Dynasty to demonstrate its dominance and sovereignty, and it can be recorded in the annals of history.

To Zhu Youxiao's regret, the government did not garrison troops in the "Dongfan", which can be said to have left troubles.

It is not too late.

It was the first time that Dutch ghosts occupied Penghu, and they were dismissed by Shen Yourong, but they will soon make a comeback; and Yan Siqi, the "King of Taiwan" in history, is still leading a group of younger brothers in Japan to do well.

The so-called one step first, eat all over the world.

Zhu Youxiao had already tasted the sweetness of foresight in the battle of Guangning, so how could he not continue to expand his advantages, with a little golden finger, he crossed thousands of mountains and rivers to Fujian.

Nan Juyi, governor of Fujian, replaced Shang Zhouzuo, the former governor, because he could not calm the sea atmosphere.Not long after he took office at that time, the imperial envoy of the Ministry of War came to write and pass orders.

The Ministry of War appointed a guerrilla member, and immediately dispatched [-] troops to Penghu to build a city and build a fort, thinking that it would be solid for a long time;
Upgrade the level of the Penghu garrison, from "Southern Road Control" to "Deputy Chief Soldier Yamen and Assistant Guard", which improves the military decision-making power of the Penghu garrison;
Increased military pay, no disarming during the flood season, and stationed in Penghu all the year round;

The Ministry of War specially appointed a member of the Dongfan guerrilla, and within one month, he led [-] troops to garrison Beigang; within three months, the number increased to [-];
And build a yamen in Beigang, add one person to the prefecture, and the prefects, judges, officials and other officials should accompany them;
Avoid conflicts with the aborigines in Dongfan, and be comforted and peacefully coexist;
Investigate and determine the safest route to ensure smooth passage from Zhang, Quan, Jin, Xiamen to Dongfan in the future;
Send sea ships to Zhaoqing, transport ten Hongyi cannons, and strengthen the defense of important coastal areas;
Nan Juyi was a little confused. What's the matter? The Ministry of War issued such an urgent document and set a deadline. What's going to happen?

As soon as he finished receiving the text from the Ministry of War, Nan Juyi knelt down to receive the secret order again.After reading it, Nan Juyi almost understood that this was the Holy Majesty's intention, and the Ministry of War urged him so urgently.

In the secret decree, Zhu Youxiao emphasized the importance of Penghu and Dongfan, and reminded Nan Juyi that Hong Maoyi's withdrawal from Penghu may not necessarily give up, and may even gather ships and soldiers to attack.

Similarly, Zhu Youxiao also strictly ordered Nan Juyi to carry out various arrangements as soon as possible, the sooner the better.The garrisons in Penghu and Dongfan should be elite and equipped with more firearms.

"Dongfan is a deserted island on the sea, and it dominates the southeast. The land is fertile and sparsely populated. Now it is time to take the land first, and continue to move people to open up wasteland and cultivate..."

In the secret decree, Zhu Youxiao also gave Nanjuyi the right to recruit people to go to Taiwan, that is to say, Nanjuyi can formulate some preferential and encouraging policies flexibly.

What surprised Nan Juyi even more was that the young emperor took out 20 yuan as expenses for various arrangements, which shows his urgency.

The sooner the better, there must be a brave man under the reward, Nan Juyi changed from being embarrassed at first to being at ease.

It is easy to do things with money, and if the money is in place, it is not a problem to send people to garrison troops.

After the imperial envoy announced the decree, he didn't go down to rest right away, but sat down and said to Nan Juyi: "Miscellaneous households are on missions according to the order, Mr. Nan must be loyal to state affairs, hurry up and do everything the emperor has told you!"

Nan Juyi hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Don't worry, the imperial envoy, I will call a meeting and arrange the work, which will definitely satisfy the Holy Majesty. Please return the imperial envoy to Beijing to report to the Holy Majesty..."

Qin waved his hand vigorously, interrupted Nan Juyi, and said in a sharp voice: "This is impossible. The emperor sent Zajia and these two Jinyiwei brothers here. One is to send an order to escort the silver, and the other is to wait in Fujian. All Only when things are done well can we dare to return to Beijing to return to life.”

After a pause, the imperial envoy emphasized again: "If Mr. Nan can't complete the work, or if the deadline is exceeded, the emperor said, let the miscellaneous family and others jump into the sea directly, and there is no need to go back."

Nan Juyi blinked and grinned, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Please, Mr. Nan." The imperial envoy stood up and bowed to Nan Juyi, and said with a bitter face: "You are so troubled, hurry up, finish it early, and don't let us jump into the sea to feed the king, maybe? "

"The imperial envoy's words are serious." Nan Juyi hurriedly returned the salute, almost slapped his chest, and repeatedly assured: "I will go to arrange it right away, and I will definitely finish it ahead of time, and I will never make it difficult for the imperial envoy."

The imperial envoy felt a little relieved, but he was still not at ease, staring at Nan Juyi and asked: "Nobody knows how the emperor's secret decree was explained. Master Nan, you won't lie to us, will you? Return to Beijing and return to life, the emperor clicks..."

"No, no, absolutely not. Father-in-law, please rest assured." Nan Juyi felt that it was inconsistent with his status, so he didn't swear, so he could only make up a lie to send away the imperial envoy who was afraid of death, "I believe in Buddhism and never If you don’t speak gibberish, you will go to hell with your tongue pulled out.”

Oh, the envoy blinked and went to rest hesitantly.

Nan Juyi couldn't help shaking his head with a wry smile as he sent off the imperial envoy and the accompanying Jin Yiwei.

Poor thing, I don't know how strict the Holy Majesty is, this father-in-law was a little dazed by fright.
