"We will do our best to do the ships." Fu Qian said: "The ships we make are all trial-made in terms of warship specifications, regardless of the blessing ships, sand ships, or Guangdong ships. The masts are mostly made of four masts, front corners, and back towers, eight ox crossbows, bed crossbows, or trial-made catapults to prepare for the sake of everything. But now we can only build small boats about 100 tons, and according to the order of the Junhou..."

"Don't be in a hurry." Xu Zixian waved his hand and said, "The purpose is to build a navy as early as possible, but such technical matters cannot be successful by rushing to do it. My goal is to build a thousand-ton large ship, using this as the core, and place a warship of 800 tons, 600 tons, and 300 tons, and follow it. Only in this way can the fleet be invincible."

Everyone was so excited that they heard it, and they were so ambitious.

"The pirates suffered too much." Kong He looked at the sea at this time and said, "I'm afraid I'm unable to drive all the warships away."

"Don't think too much." Xu Zixian smiled and said, "They will drill through the warships or set fires, and they will not leave them to us."

Now that the pirates have not left, they may be in amazement. There are only a few thousand people who escape back. The number is too small, and the vast sea is extremely risky. Insufficient personnel are likely to happen. Moreover, even if there are sailors and insufficient personnel on the ship, it will be useless on the sea.

Kong He's idea was all present. A serious warship cost at least 150,000 guan. It was equipped with personnel and equipment, such as the Eight Niu Crossbow and the catapult, at least more than 200,000 guan.

Among the three hundred ships at sea, there are at least dozens of warship-class ships, which is a tens of millions of yuan. If these ships can be brought over, it will be difficult to breathe.

Unfortunately, the government army is invincible on land, but it is helpless to take the enemy at sea.

Kong He sighed for a long time and said, "This is really a sigh of relief."

Everyone laughed, but the eyes looked at the sea were even more eager, and they were a little nervous and urgent.

No matter how hard the government troops can fight on land, they must destroy the thieves, but they must rely on the navy to speak.

At this time, the prisoners were almost killed. Li Yi was about to supervise the Minzhuang to continue to pursue and suppress the remaining enemies, and at the same time he had to deal with the cleaning of the battlefield. He said goodbye to Xu Zixian and warned everyone: "Don't be impatient. More than a year ago, how could we dare to defeat the two thieves of Luzon head-on? That was something that King Qi, the appeasement envoy, and the imperial guards and the wing army in Fujian had not done. Today, we can complete this matter, comfort the emperor and the people, which is enough to leave a name in history. Things in the future will surely come naturally, do not be arrogant or irritable, but do what you do well, and things will be done."

Li Yi had a beautiful beard. Although she was not a martial arts man, she was quite like a general at this time. She slowly reminded everyone, but she was extremely gentle and was as if she was soaked in the spring breeze.

Now Li Yi went first, and then Fu Qian led Min Zhuang to suppress the remaining enemies, and at the same time protected factories everywhere in the upstream to prevent them from being destroyed by fleeing and robbing.

Kong He, Chen Zuocai, Chen Daojian, Fang Shaoqun and others stood beside Xu Zixian. At noon, Wang Xinyuan personally boiled the medicine and asked Xu Zixian to drink it. Although the weather was hot and the medicine was difficult to swallow, Xu Zixian still drank it all in one go, as if drinking sweet rain.

Chen Daojian and others came from the Marquis' Mansion. The victory and defeat before the war were unpredictable. If they heard of defeat, they would leave and hide with their official documents, Miss Hou Mansion and Miss Xiuniang. Fortunately, the news of their victory in the morning reached the Marquis' Mansion. Along the middle of the Marquis' Mansion, everyone was cheering and encouraging. The two young girls were even more moved and burst into tears, so happy that they didn't know why.

Later, the younger sister asked Chen Daojian to come quickly. Xu Zixian had not recovered from illness and went to the battlefield. Of course, the younger sister and Xiu Niang couldn't rest assured. Fortunately, Wang Xinyuan was taken over early, which made them feel much more at ease in the Marquis' Mansion.

Before dark, the search came to an end. The fire soldiers showed their cooking skills today, killing dozens of pigs and a large number of chickens and ducks. The civilians could use broth and white rice to serve them to fill their stomachs. The soldiers of the government, regardless of the generals and officers, all gave them meat to the meat. The oil was flowing from their mouths. Today, the meat was free and there was no limit to two or four liang. Almost everyone was eating it and laughing. The sound of long live continued to ring by the bonfire.

After nightfall, the soldiers of the government army and Min Zhuang took turns, but the night was extremely quiet and there was almost no movement.

At noon the next day, the ships on the sea were not moving at all, and obviously they had no plans to withdraw. Some of the government troops came to report in the middle of the night that more than a hundred pirates might have stripped naked on the beach in the south and swam into the sea. They were good at swimming. Although they had not eaten for a day or two, swimming for a few miles was nothing. They went into the sea from the south and swam all the way to the naval ship, then climbed onto the ship with trembling all over, and then burst into tears.

The movement was discovered by the soldiers of the government troops on the shore, but without a navy, there would be no ship to pursue him, so I could only sigh.

Xu Zi first knew it and said, "In this way, the pirates are not allowed to leave within three or five days, but today they should start digging ships. There is a southeastern wind on the sea. If the ship is set on fire, it may cause the entire fleet to catch fire. Qin Dongyang, Ge Cunzhong and others are concerned.

He also wanted to use a small boat to set fire, but there were only a dozen small ships in the Nan'an Marquis Mansion. He was afraid that the effect would be quite limited and the soldiers would be damaged. Thinking about it, it would not be worth the cost, so he gave up.

The ships lying across the sea were like a huge wooden thorn, deeply rooted in the hearts of all the civil and military officials of the Hou Mansion, including Xu Zixian.

However, it also has good results. In addition to the great victory, the soldiers of the government, including military officers, inevitably became arrogant and charming. After seeing the ships on the sea, the arrogance was also driven down a lot.

After two days of rest, although Xu Zixian's health has recovered a lot. With the company of Qin Dongyang and others, he went to watch the Jingguan by the beach.

This is a specially selected place. Several miles south of Huaxi, there are reefs on the seaside, with rugged rocks, and a green shore. Many shrubs grow on the huge rocks.

Although this place is also a beach, it is not suitable to be a dock port at all. There are many reefs on the water surface and the shore are high and steep, so it is impossible to transport cargo personnel on a large scale.

But it is quite appropriate to build Jingguan here.

"There are more than 19,700 heads." Qin Dongyang's face was a little gloomy. No matter how hateful the pirates were, they were beheaded nearly 20,000 in a row. This result was said to be the glory of the generals. But for individuals, thinking about the fact that he led his troops to kill so many people, his emotions would definitely be very strange and complicated.

The generals present also performed similarly.

At that moment, Xu Zixian was also a little confused. He walked around the official road for a long time, his eyes full of the heads of the thieves who closed their eyes or stared at them.

A large number of heads were piled together, and the weather was hot. Although it attracted a large number of fly flying by the sea, almost covering the entire heads.

For such a scene, ordinary people are afraid that they will have nightmares when they see it. Even if all the people present are murderous players, they are a little scared at this time.

"Send people to cut more grass, burn at the wind at the head level, and smoke the flies away." Xu Zixian said: "It will be exposed to the sun and dry after a while, and it will not look so scary."

"It will still be scary." Qin Dongyang said in a deep voice: "The thieves or the people who come and go are afraid of being frightened when they see it."

"The people will not be afraid." Fang Shaoqun interrupted, "I'm sorry to say bluntly that Dongfan has this Jingguan, and the Sea Chamber of Commerce will flock to you in the future."

Everyone didn't care at first, but when they thought about it, they nodded one after another.

The people are indeed not afraid. The thieves die, but they are not good people.

When the sea merchants sailed here, seeing such obvious things was enough to increase their confidence in the security of the Dongfan. And the thieves heard that some of the Jingguan people were afraid that there would be no pirates who dared to covet the Dongfan place except for thieves like Pu Xingfeng.

Fang Shaoqun smiled slightly and said, "Junhou is not thinking of replacing Quanzhou or Mingzhou with the Dongfan, which cannot be done in the past twenty years. However, the Dongfan is on the waterway, and there are not many ships coming to dock throughout the year, which is quite abnormal. If so, after this battle alone, the sea ships docked in the Dongfan will probably increase by at least a hundred times. With this alone, our battle will be worth it."

Everyone's eyes were lit up, and it was true that this was true. When a sea boat came, it was impossible to just dock and leave. To supplement the expenses of water and docking, you could also use the warehouse in the Dongfan.

In addition, they will trade with Dongfan, or establish a business or sales outlet here, and they will also trade with each other.

In this way, the entire Dongfan will come back to life.

From then on, not only did Nan'an Hou Mansion develop and do business here, but thousands of businesses.

Although Jiangling, Mingzhou, Quanzhou and Guangzhou are not comparable in the short term, they have become a major maritime trade center in a few years. With developed commerce and populations will immigrate one after another, and the strength of the entire Marquis' Mansion will naturally rise.

In addition to the benefits brought by our own factory and many specialties, the strength of the Nan'an Hou Mansion may be beyond the imagination of everyone present.

"Great kindness." Ge Cunzhong wiped the short beard on his lower lip and smiled happily: "It seems that I, Lao Ge, have the day I will make a fortune without making money by making money in absent minds."

Xu Zixian has already talked with the generals about starting a company.

The Hou Mansion has reclaimed the entire island, and Xu Zi has no intention of letting go of his private fields.

Zheng Chenggong managed the Dongfan, with some official land and some soldiers sharing land, and allowing immigrants to reclaim themselves.

Later, private land exceeded official land, and Xu Zixian believed that Zheng Chenggong's tax revenue was too heavy, which led to no one willing to farm official land. However, private land mostly fell into the hands of generals, and there were also high-ranking officials and nobles who fled to the Eastern Vocational Department. This also made the population of the Eastern Vocational Department last between more than 100,000 and 200,000 before Qianlong.

Later, private land was released, and a large number of people from Fujian went to Taiwan on their own and opened land everywhere. As a result, the population soared to three million in decades.

But if the official fields were subsidized in the early years, including seeds, oxen, horses, and farm tools

Help, but the taxes collected are the same as those of private land, at most slightly higher. Then it is obvious that the speed of large-scale development will increase significantly. Xu Zixian is not as urgent as Zheng Chenggong, or his judgment is more accurate and it is more appropriate to know how to do it.

The most direct consequence of letting go of private land is that officials, generals and powerful people will cultivate a large amount of cultivation. They have more money and hire more people. The Marquis's control over the entire island will be weakened. Officials and generals will indulge in their own cultivation, the distribution of wealth and the pursuit of power will corrupt the current group that is still in the rising period, which will be too harmful.

It is obviously a more appropriate method to establish a company, develop externally, and replace the land of generals and officials in the form of dividends.

The Ge brothers have been in the world for more than ten years and have not saved more than a thousand trump cards of money. Most of the money is used to help the poor or to distribute it to their subordinates. They settled their subordinates' wives and children, but they were almost empty-handed.

Xu Zixian admired such behavior very much, but he still spoke out bluntly, hoping that his subordinates could be as rich as the ones. Even Ge Da would not object to this.

Amid the laughter of everyone, Xu Zixian glanced at Jingguan again. The large number of hills made of heads were really scary. Even if he was a decision-maker, he felt the same.

At this moment, Xu Zixian even asked himself, have he done too much? But it is obvious that this matter cannot be stopped. There are still a large number of pirates fleeing inland and along the coast, and the rounding up is still underway. Many civil and military leaders have brought out their dogs. Along the coast and inland, there are vocals and barking of dogs everywhere. In order to escape, the pirates flee in a panic with thorns and shrubs. They have no food and may not even drink water. It is only a matter of time to die.

After all the heads of these people were cut off and sent here, the number of beheadings this time will be about to come out.

At least 20,000 or above.

"June, we will be able to repay the merits after the pirate ship retreats." Qin Dongyang clasped his fists at Xu Zixian and said, "Maybe June can be the Duke of the Kingdom?"

Everyone looked at Xu Zixian with anticipation. Even if the Duke of the State was not allowed to open a prefecture, he would have much more authority to grant subordinates and ministers. For example, the chief and historian of the Marquis' Mansion were only seventh rank, while the Duke's Mansion was fifth rank.

If so, even if Xu Zixian's appointment of many officials on the island has further legality, of course, the most legal thing is that the court gives the Nan'an Marquis' power to establish a government office. In this way, whether it is a Duke or a Marquis' State, after the establishment of the government, appointing his own subordinate officials and generals is a legal act recognized by the court.

At present, only officials and generals appointed by the Nan'an Marquis' Mansion, or those appointed by the Marquis' Mansion, will be in the Privy Council and the Ministry of War of the Court. The Ministry of Personnel has files to check and are considered serious court officials.

If the officials appointed on the island are appointed by the Nan'an Marquis Mansion themselves. The former officials can still wear official robes and use etiquette, while the latter can only wear casual robes, not official bodies, and there is a gap between them.

Xu Zixian smiled and said, "It's okay if you want to open a mansion. The King of Qi made such great contributions back then. The two generations of King of Qi can be said to be the pillars of the court in the southeast. Isn't it the same that there is no mansion? The Dongfan is amazing and can't threaten the country. The imperial court must have thought so, start a mansion, just kidding."

The generals did not laugh this time. The imperial court officials focused on the Donghu people, and even the northern captives of the Western Qiang, and even the northwest bandits were more important than the southeast pirates.

But the southeast is the land of wealth, Mingzhou, Quanzhou, Fuzhou and Guangzhou. The wealth created by these states accounts for more than half of the taxes of the Great Wei.

Do we really have to wait until the thieves disrupt the Southeast and the Great Wei lose half of its wealth before we know how important the navy is and how great the threat the pirates are to the Great Wei?

Of course, not giving the government a government is also a national policy. From the founding of the country to the Renzong Dynasty in the middle of the Wei Dynasty, the power of the government was granted less than ten times. In addition to the founding period, a certain Duke who was ordered to manage the old Yingzhou was ordered to open the government. However, the imperial court's pioneering and enterprising in the old Yingzhou area failed, and the Duke's power of the Duke was also taken back.

In this war, more than 20,000 were beheaded and the invading pirate kings were defeated. With Wang Zhi alone, the court also attached great importance to it. It can be seen that it was not completely ignorant.

Xu Zixian fought almost to defeat two pirate kings in one battle, which was undoubtedly a great news for the court.

With the achievements of the development of the Dongfan period and the establishment of the ranch, Xu Zixian's promotion of horse affairs was also done very well.

In addition, the previous contributions have not been fairly rewarded, and the court once again pretended to be deaf and dumb, probably because both mansions felt that they had no face to face the world.

No matter what the emperor thinks, the two governments will definitely advocate the promotion of Xu Zixian as Duke, and the actual number of enfeoffments will also increase.
