The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

　　 Back to Kaohsiung Port, Yan Changwu did not delay for a moment, and immediately listened to the report from Deputy Admiral Li Ying.

"On the fifth day of May, on the'Green Island' (west of Taiwan, without actual control), Kaohsiung No. 35 was patrolling. It turned out that two Dutch merchant ships were moored on the island. Ship No. 35 passed by and found the other side. There was no flag, so they ordered their crew to go to the deck for inspection, and the other side started sailing. Kaohsiung shot on the other side on the 35th!"

　　 Yan Changwu nodded, there was nothing wrong with the handling of Kaohsiung 35th.

　　 It is reasonable to say that our ship is the first to win people, which is very good, but the artillery power of the sailing age is really not good, especially when the blasting bombs are not mature, they are all solid bombs. This kind of bombs rely on kinetic energy to kill, in fact, it is smashing.

　　 There were 28 guns on the cruise ship. There were only 14 on one side. In addition, the attack was lost. The other party was an armed merchant ship. At first, he ate some shells. After he set sail, he fought against the Kaohsiung ship.

"... the other party has forty artillery pieces (20 on one side). It took three hours to fight. As a result, one ship was sunk by our ship and the other was captured, but there was a fire. Thirty catties of raw silk were found. Ship No. 35 was discounted with two masts. Deputy Captain Chen Ziyun was killed. There were as many as 100 casualties. All of them were treated as required. Ship No. 35 is now in Beigang Dockyard. It’s repaired here, in good condition, half of it has been repaired."

　　 "Those Dutch captives confessed that they were only for commercial activities and were not dismissed. However, their senior crew members were almost killed and injured and could not ask more about them." Li Ying gave a brief report.

　　 "What's the matter with Li Kuiqi, the sea bandit?" Yan Changwu said solemnly.

"Quanzhou Wang's merchant ship received a flag to cross the sea in my southeast mansion, and it has been hung on the mast. When it came to Dongshan Island, it encountered Li Kuiqi and was forced to stop the ship for inspection... According to the Wang's family, they had I paid the sea fee to Li Kuiqi, but the other party still robbed it. The focus was on what they said, saying that the ship with the stars, mountains, and ocean flags of my southeast palace was robbed! Then they took our flag in front of the ship full of people. Throw it into the sea in front of you!" Li Ying said angrily.

　　Everyone who heard it was angry. In the past few years, the Southeast Mansion has risen strongly, and heroes from all walks of life who dare not give face, this Li Kui is daring!

　　 If you dare to hit us in the face, you have to pay for it with your life!

　　 Things happened one after another. Li Ying described his countermeasures. One was to inquire about the current situation of the Dutch in the Intelligence Bureau, and the other was to send a reconnaissance ship to Dongshan Island to check.

　　 "The Intelligence Bureau said that the Dutch in Batavia have not moved. Currently, the Dutch have not assembled, but this is information from a month ago."

"I sent three reconnaissance boats to Dongshan Island. The other party was very vigilant. We were able to expel our ship as soon as we found it. We were unable to find any useful information. At the same time, the Intelligence Bureau also said that the other party was very guarded and could not be on land or sea. Penetration." Li Ying said regretfully.

　　 He also knew the importance of "intelligence", but under the circumstances at the time, the Intelligence Agency was not omnipotent, and reconnaissance had its limitations.

　　 As for the preparations, the four Tier 5 battleships are in good condition, the 23 cruise ships are all ready, the materials needed are ready, and they can set off at any time! "Li Ying said loudly and authentically.

　　 "Very good!" Yan Changwu expressed relief.

　　 Then, Hong Sheng, who is in charge, described the situation of Xiong Wencan's arrival:

　　 Fujian governor Xiong Wencan had a broad mind. He had previously advocated force to suppress bandits, but gradually disappeared as the domestic situation changed.

Since the new emperor Chongzhen came to the throne, he wanted to do something, but the gods were not beautiful (the Little Ice Age), droughts and floods followed one after another, and the relief pressure was heavy. In addition, the old wild boar outside the pass hummed and hummed. The Great Wall was uneasy inside and outside, and wars continued. The treasury’s money poured into those bottomless pits like water. He himself died. He listened to the Donglin Party, got rid of Wei Zhongxian and Changwei Jinyiwei Tax Supervisor, etc. Civil ministers all called him a holy monarch. .

　　The saint is the saint, but the treasury has flowing silver, I'm afraid it is not as much as the silver in the silver treasury of the Southeast Mansion!

　　 Like a severe drought in Fujian Province, Xiong Wencan found an embarrassment: the government had no money for disaster relief, but the Southeast had received a large number of victims, and received as much.

　　 unexpectedly made him show a small face in the court: no people were reported to starve to death, no rebellion occurred, the whole Fujian province was calm!

　　Compared with other provinces that are rippling with wind and rain, Fujian Province is like a paradise.

　　 This made Governor Xiong thoughtful. Finally, he dressed up as a merchant, took a dozen of his entourage, and took the Shanghai boat to the "North Port" opened to the outside world by the Southeast Mansion.

　　 Southeast Prefecture has five towns: Taipei, Beigang, Chiayi, Tainan, and Kaohsiung. Among them, Beigang is open to the Chinese and Tainan is open to Hong Maofan. It is a town in name, but it is actually a power of the "prefectural road".

　　 Needless to say! However, there are densely populated people, dense roads, rich products, and developed agriculture.

　　 Especially the roads are clean and tidy, which is really jaw-dropping!

　　 What shocked Xiong Wencan was the construction of farmland and water conservancy in Southeast Prefecture.

　　The farmland there is contiguous, from the seaside to the inland of the mountains, the canal irrigation goes deep into the fields, the drought in Fujian Province, the crops in the southeast province are amazingly vigorous!

　　 "This is only a three-year achievement (1625-1628)?" If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Governor Xiong could hardly believe it.

　　 After years of hard work, development of agriculture, and construction of water conservancy, the people of Southeast Mansion have turned the wilderness covered with weeds into fertile land.

　　 Standing on the edge of the port and looking far away, you can see the rivers and canals on the plains like a net, and the sugarcane fields and rice fields are endless; on the straight coast, the salt fields are dotted with avenues. This is an area with developed agriculture, especially the sea of ​​sugarcane such as forests. Xiong Wencan understands "economy", this kind of is silver!

　　 No wonder people in Southeast Mansion have generally begun to wear silk!

　　 They actually follow the Gregorian calendar. They have Sundays for rest. In their free time, many people wear silk to go to the streets~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The key is that they look much better than the mainland people.

　　 is such a glamorous place, and it shines with the Jiangnan water town for a while!

　　 If it can be collected, how much food and wealth can be added to Daming!

　　 But his mind was disillusioned in less than a day. Because he was "not doing his job properly", he looked east and west, which attracted the attention of the people in Chaoyang of Southeast Mansion, attracted the public, surrounded them, and accused them of being spies!

　　According to the law, the spies, the Southeast Mansion will not kill, and the labor reform for three years.

　　 Xiong Wencan was not afraid, and directly stated his identity: "I am the governor of Fujian Xiong Wencan, why, do you want to capture your parents?"

　　 The people from Southeast Mansion were surprised, and sent a report to Tainan Hongsheng. He took people to Beigang overnight and met with Xiong Wencan.

　　 However, when he saw the governor, he was just a bow and did not kneel.

　　 "This place is the Southeast Mansion. Except the governor, he is the son of God and he is about to kneel down. The rest of the people are all courtesy. Please forgive your sins from the governor!" Hong Sheng said neither humble nor overbearing.

　　 People are under the eaves, how can they not bow their heads, Xiong Wencan sighed slightly, knowing that the climate of Southeast Mansion was complete.

As for the great officials from the mainland, the Southeast Mansion has already had countermeasures. They have to look at where and show them. Apart from core factories (such as gelatin factories, candy factories, gun factories, etc.) there are also military forces, and other places. Let's see.

　　 Hong Sheng brought Xiong Wencan for a three-day tour. The more he looked at him, the more surprised he became. The boy Yan from Southeast Mansion was going against the sky.

　　In agriculture, there are rice, sugarcane and miscellaneous crops. The crops are amazingly planted and the yield is amazing!

　　There are other industries such as sugar making, candy making, deer breeding, shipbuilding, maritime trade, etc., and they are making money every day!

　　 So he invited Yan Changwu to cross the sea to Kinmen.
