I'm a big dick

Chapter 673 Ready to go, target Luzon

Although the Qiantao area still needs to build water conservancy facilities if it wants to become the top south of the Yangtze River, the existing cultivated land is enough for more than ten thousand Ming troops to garrison here.

That's right, the more than 1 Ming troops were both soldiers and farmers.With a gun in one hand and a hoe in the other, half of the cultivated land is owned by himself, and the gun in his hand is used to defend his homeland.

This is similar to the construction corps of later generations. The emperor also hoped to use this model to gain a foothold in the Qiantao area as quickly as possible and to be as self-sufficient as possible.

At the same time, occupying the front set is also an early precaution against the westward migration of the tiger rabbit.

The contest with Huduntu will be held sooner or later. This is not only the emperor's plan to conquer the Mongolian tribes, but also the fate of Huduntu as the Great Khan of Mongolia.

It's just a pity that the victory is undoubtedly in the hands of the emperor.Huduntu obviously didn't have such a deep understanding of the two opponents who were not of the same weight at all.

As for this year's conquest of Luzon, the emperor obviously had to pay a lot of attention.Not only did they increase investment several times, adding ships and guns to increase the strength of the navy, but also set generous rewards for the officers and soldiers who fought.

Obviously, the navy is also full of confidence, and the plan finally reported reduces the number of warships dispatched.

According to the strength of the Spaniards, Shen Yourong will dispatch [-] warships, and the number of artillery will be four times that of the Spaniards.This is not counting the power of rockets and cannons.

The wind and waves on the sea are unpredictable, and even though it is a monsoon climate suitable for sailing, accidents are not guaranteed.

The navy has made complete preparations, and the islands along the way are marked by stones. They even dispatched officers and soldiers and stockpiled supplies on them in advance for navigation and just in case.

In this regard, the emperor agreed one by one.Laymen do not lead experts, but guide at the strategic level, which is what the emperor can do.

At this time, at Dongfan's military port, the navy had already prepared, plus troop transport and supply ships, [-] or [-] ships of all sizes, all ready to go.

In the courtyard near the port, Li Dan looked at Yan Siqi with a smile, waiting quietly for him to ask.

Just after the Chinese New Year, Li Dan rushed to Dongfan, nominally to have fun, but Yan Siqi knew it was not that simple.

Yan Siqi, who had invested a lot in Dongfan, enthusiastically became the host and took Li Dan around to visit his manor, his orchard, and his hunting grounds.

Now, seeing the densely packed warships in the port and the dozens of ships Li Dan summoned, Yan Siqi knew that this was Li Dan's real purpose.

"Why do I have to ask?" Yan Siqi was very displeased with Li Dan's expression, at this point, he was still putting on airs, so he couldn't tell him freely.

Li Dan chuckled and said, "If I say so, you have to accompany me on a boat trip. In case you don't keep your mouth shut and leak military secrets."

Yan Siqi snorted and said, "Okay, I'll be with you."

Li Dan nodded lightly, his face became serious, and he said: "Luzon! Long live the Spanish who ordered the navy to conquer Luzon, in order to avenge their slaughter of the people of the Ming Empire."

Yan Siqi didn't speak, but looked at Li Dan.Whether military action or not has nothing to do with Li Dan. Speaking of this, we should enter the topic.

Li Dan smiled and said: "If the war goes well, after the occupation of Luzon, a certain has been appointed Governor of Luzon by Long Live."

Yan Siqi's eyes widened, and his face was full of shock.

Li Dan liked this appearance very much, he slowly picked up the teacup and sipped the fragrant tea lightly.

"Governor?" Yan Siqi slowly closed his open mouth, frowning slightly and asked, "The biggest official in Luzon?"

Li Dan nodded and said, "It should be."

After a pause, he explained again: "Luzon is an overseas place, and it is different from the mainland. The governor also has different powers."

Yan Siqi snorted, and said with great dissatisfaction: "No matter what, you're still the governor, but you've had a hard time hiding it from me."

Li Dan arched his hands to express his apology, and explained: "At that time, when I came to Beijing for an audience, I didn't know Long Live to order such an errand. After repeated weighing, I accepted the appointment, but I dared to say it carelessly."

Yan Siqi thought for a while and felt that it made sense, so he couldn't help but sighed helplessly.Time, fate, who makes me lazy!
Li Dan patted Yan Siqi's arm, and said in relief: "The governor of Luzon is not so easy to be. Let's forget about this year. Next year, we will hand over 200 million yuan to the court, and the year after that will be 300 million yuan..."

"I'll pay 500 million, and you give me the governor?" Yan Siqi angrily interrupted Li Dan, as if someone had no money.

Li Dan waved his hand and said: "There are many opportunities, why do you fight with me? Overseas Governor, Long Live is also groping. I asked you to focus on running Borneo, don't you understand now? You know, Borneo is I invested a lot, but I made a wedding dress for you."

Yan Siqi blinked his eyes, feeling a little dazed, and asked tentatively: "What do you mean, in the future, Long Live will set up a governor overseas?"

Li Dan nodded, and said firmly: "Of course, it also depends on the situation of a certain business in Luzon. If it is well managed, why not do it?"

"It makes sense, it makes sense!" Yan Siqi repeatedly patted his thighs, his eyes lit up, and said, "When Borneo is managed to a certain level, I will recommend myself to Long Live, and I will fight for the governor."

"That's right, that's the idea and method." Li Dan clapped his hands and laughed loudly, and said, "Long live is in his eyes. You don't have to ask for it, and the position of governor will be given to you. Of course, you have to let Wan live see See your hard work and see your ability."

"Understood, understood." Yan Siqi felt relieved, but felt that the future was bright, so the complaints against Li Dan disappeared.

To be honest, Li Dan is not much better than Yan Siqi in terms of management and dealing with people.Yan Siqi lost his fineness, and acted somewhat carelessly, which is why he can only be subservient to Li Dan.

It's not that Li Dan's qualifications are old and the funds are strong, the emperor sees it more accurately.After this incident, Yan Siqi also felt the gap with Li Dan.

"Even if there is a lack of personal ability, as long as there are talents under his command, the effect will be the same." Li Dan felt that it was indeed difficult for Yan Siqi to make great progress, so he opened his mouth to give advice.

Yan Siqi nodded again and again, she was really grateful to Li Dan.Even though he had been hiding it from him for so long, it was a last resort.And giving him Borneo, which has been in business for so long, can also see his heart.

Tomorrow, I will set sail on the sea and sail directly to Luzon, and start a new chapter in my life from then on.

Li Dan got up, moved his legs and feet, walked to the window and looked out.There is a forest of masts in the harbor, and huge cranes that can move along the tracks are still busy loading and unloading.

There are food and ammunition supplies for the army, and there are also those prepared by Li Dan for his inauguration as governor.He has no doubts about victory.

Now, except for the sudden storm and disaster, nothing can stop the Ming army from conquering Luzon.
