Chapter 239 Taiwan Development

Several ships slowly sailed towards Taiwan.

"Brothers, Taiwan is ahead!" Ding Yunyi pointed forward: "I have ordered people to pick up your family. The residences arranged for you on the island have been cleaned. From now on, this is your home!"

The cavalry from the Central Plains were filled with joy. Huangfu Yunjie stepped forward and said, "We will join the army, and we will leave the Central Plains, and we will be in a panic like a dog that has lost our family. Since we were taken in the army, we will be loyal from then on, and we will follow the army without seeking achievements, but only seeking to be the first soldiers to join the army!"

Hou Lu was young and straightforward: "Associate the army, will you marry us?"

There was a burst of laughter, and Ding Yunyi smiled and said, "Marry! Whoever is not married, I will help you choose in Taiwan, and I will do all the fees."

There was another cheer, but Hou Lu was a little unwilling to give up and pointed at Chen Yuanyuan beside Ding Yunyi: "I want to marry someone as beautiful as my wife."

Those soldiers were laughing happily, Ding Yunyi grabbed his scalp, which was a bit difficult...

The majestic and majestic outline of Golden Eagle City gradually appeared in the eyes of the brothers. In an instant, the brothers stopped making noise and their eyes fell on Golden Eagle City.

What a majestic city!

The area covers such a vast area, with soldiers on the city tower and is heavily guarded. Cannons opened their guns and were eyeing all the movements on the sea.

Two large flags are erected high above the flag tower, one with a big word "Ming" written on it, and the other word is very familiar to the brothers:

Hu Ben Guard!

"How about my Golden Eagle City?" Ding Yunyi was full of enthusiasm: "This was originally built by the red barbarians, but later it was carefully transformed by me. Even if there were thousands of troops, it was as stable as Mount Tai."

Huangfu Yunjie was amazed, but Ding Yunyi changed his mind: "But it is not my intention to guard here. Those who can defend should also be good at attacking. Brothers come to Taiwan, and I will send people to various places to purchase war horses. I want to ask you to forge an invincible cavalry for me!"

Huangfu Yunjie shouted loudly: "Don't worry, we are all on horseback all year round. Even Hou Lu, although he is only nineteen years old this year, will be in the army for three years. If I wait for five years, I will definitely forge an elite cavalry for the Jiangrong to run rampant in the world!"

It took five years to train a cavalry, but it was not long. But Ding Yunyi suddenly felt a sudden change in his heart. The alliance he made with Zheng Zhilong lasted for five years. Is this a coincidence?

A sound of drums and music suddenly sounded on the shore. Ding Yunyi looked at that. All the brothers from Taiwan had left the city to greet him!

Cai Jiuzhou, Zhang Xianxuan, Ye Dahai, Qin Yun, Chen Dong, Li Guo... In front of those familiar faces, they finally appeared again.

"I wish you a victory to return! Hu Ben Guard, a hundred battle division! Ding Yunyi, no match!"

They shouted on the shore, and hundreds of people on the city were shouting out together, how majestic.

Hu Ben Guard. Hundred Battles Division! Ding Yunyi, no one can beat?

Ding Yunyi couldn't help laughing. It must have been made by Qin Yun again.

As soon as the boat docked, Ding Yunyi took the lead in getting off the boat, and the brothers stepped forward together:

"The Hu Ben and Ben army meet with you. The Hu Ben army will win the Central Plains. The bloody battle of Yingzhou will promote my name as Hu Ben, and boost the power of Taiwan! The Central Plains will return to the heart, and the world will return to the heart!"

"You little fucking flatter us." Ding Yunyi smiled and said, "We don't know until we are in the Central Plains. We only know what we call reputation. However, it is limited to Fujian, where no one pays attention to us. We fought bloody battles in Yingzhou and almost lost our lives, but those officers and soldiers in the Central Plains do not send out any soldiers or soldiers. If it weren't for these brothers, our lives would have been left in the Central Plains!"

As he said, he pointed to the cavalry behind him.

Cai Jiuzhou stepped forward and said, "Brothers, fight with you and protect me, you are the benefactor of my Hu Ben Guard. Since you have arrived in Taiwan, everyone will be a family from now on. We will share the blessings and share the difficulties!"

Chen Dong stared at Ding Yunyi with his eyes straight, and then poked Zhang Xianxuan next to him: "Brother Zhang, look at the adults, is that dressed as a woman?"

Zhang Xianxuan only glanced at him and his eyes became straight.

God, God, that man is clearly a woman, but even when dressed in a man, he is still so beautiful that it is thrilling. God, there are such stunning women in the world? If you change into women's clothing, I'm afraid even Miss Han will be worse than that.

"Are the third brother our leader? He can bring back a wife when he goes to fight a war." Chen Dong praised.

Qin Yun knew who the woman was: "That was Chen Yuanyuan, the third brother recognized when he went to Suzhou in the past year. If she changed into women's clothing, you wouldn't have to do anything when you looked at her."

Ye Dahai also went to Suzhou with Ding Yunyi that day. He recognized Chen Yuanyuan, but shook his head repeatedly: "Don't be fascinated by beauty and have abandoned the big plan."

The crowd enthusiastically welcomed Ding Yunyi and his party into the Golden Eagle City and came to the official residence. Ding Yunyi first asked someone to send Chen Yuanyuan and his personal maid to his home, and then settled the cavalrymen. Then he asked: "I have heard Ye Yuan say in Quanzhou that we are not in Taiwan, but you have managed this in an orderly manner. Thank you brothers for your hard work."

Cai Jiuzhou said, "Sir, since you left Taiwan and rushed to the Central Plains, the Zheng family navy has harassed several times, but our Golden Eagle City is very cautious and armed, and the sea boats have been patrolling for another day. Seeing that there is no chance to start, the Zheng family left in disappointment and went to Penghu to see if there is any chance. The Taiwanese warship immediately rushed to Penghu. There is Fengguicheng Fortress and Mazu Temple in Penghu, and there is warship on the sea. The Zheng family is also helpless. However, Bao Juhua has a bad temper and almost clashed with Zheng Zhibao several times, and was finally forced to suppress by Xiao Yifeng."

Ding Yunyi nodded: "I have an agreement with Zheng Zhilong. The Zheng family will not come to harass each other again in the past few years, but you should not be careless. The covenant can be torn up if it is torn down, and you still need to be careful."

The generals looked at each other. Only then did the lord have the ability to come back from Zhongyuan and actually reached an agreement with Zheng Zhilong?

"How about Luzon?" Although Ding Yunyi knew that the progress of Luzon's maritime business was going well, he still asked.

"The trade in Luzon is going smoothly." Qin Yun immediately replied: "Now my Daming Ocean Company goes seven times a month. On average, one batch of ships is shipped in three days. There are not enough ships, so he rented a large number of ships. The people of Luzon welcomed the ships I went to in Taiwan. To put it bluntly, only Taiwan can do business with them. A few maritime merchants were jealous and wanted to try to trade with Luzon. But halfway through the ship, they encountered pirates. Finally, the pirates just issued warnings. There were no robbery ships. So we have obtained exclusive rights to operate with Luzon."

Ding Yunyi laughed. This must have been a pirate created by Qin Yun. Using the power of the underworld to monopolize trade, although it sounds a bit immoral. However, in the current extraordinary times, I don’t care much about it.

"Xie Xuan and Sun Xiyu have also conducted dozens of maritime business under the banner of the Zheng family, but the Zheng family has become suspicious recently. After completing this order, they will return to Taiwan so as not to fall into the hands of the Zheng family. I think they will be able to come back in the past few days."

Ding Yunyi said "happy": "Since the Luzon maritime business trip is smooth and the Zheng family blockade has been broken, there is no need to take this risk anymore. However, although the Luzon maritime business road is open, it cannot be limited to one place. You can only trade with Luzon at present, and there is no way to imagine. There is a country overseas called Mexico. Currently occupied by the Ganlasi people, it is a colony of the Ganlasi country. There are countless ships from the Xinganlasi Governor's District in Mexico City to Luzon every year, full of gold and silver from Mexico to Luzon, and then from Luzon with goods. Every year, there are countless wealth."

The generals showed a knowing smile on their faces. The adults were paying attention to the merchant ship from Mexico. It was just a little strange. Why did the adults know the situation of those countries of Taixi? I ​​guess they met Father Taixi again in the Central Plains.

Ding Yunyi turned his eyes to Li Guo: "Li Guo, although I am nominally the leader of the Pirate Alliance, I still have to be responsible for the management of pirates. You want to do it when you think about how to use the brains of Mexican merchant ships."

Li Guo responded, and Ding Yunyi said again: "However, the robbery should not be too cruel. We must not do the things that kill chickens and get eggs. We must not do the fishing in the dry pond, otherwise those Mexican merchant ships will be robbed too much, but no one will dare to come."

Li Guo smiled: "I know how to do it."

"Actually, I still have an idea in my mind." Ding Yunyi suddenly said: "Do you think we will make more money by transporting goods to Luzon? No. Why are those rosy people so eagerly looking forward to our goods? Because once my Ming goods are shipped to Taixi, the profits will be made more than ten or a hundred times? So, seven or eight merchant ships are full of goods. Even if most of the roads sink, as long as one ship can return to Taixi, they can make a lot of money."

Qin Yun immediately understood: "What Brother Third means is we who open up the maritime business road to Thailand?"

"Yes, that's what I mean." Ding Yunyi nodded and said, "I'm not willing to do some small business with the Krasser people in Luzon. But it's not easy to transport to the countries of Thailand. It's necessary to have a large fleet and be armed in order. Those pirates from Thailand are not under my control at the moment. Also, the routes must be familiar with, and the translation must be carried more, medicines, food, etc. must be fully prepared. Therefore, this matter is not urgent, and we have to make a long-term plan."

He said with a long-term plan, but brothers who are familiar with his temper know that the adults wished they could leave now and open a route from Taiwan to Thailand.

"How are the shipbuilding workshop and the Firearms Bureau?" After explaining these things, Ding Yunyi turned the topic to the issues he was most concerned about.

"The shipbuilding workshop has started to operate. With the assistance of the Red and Yi technicians, we have built two small boats and are now trying to imitate the "Challenger".

Cai Jiuzhou's words immediately cheered Ding Yunyi up: "Have you started to imitate the 'Challenger'? How is the progress?"

"The progress is slow." Cai Jiuzhou said honestly: "With our current strength, even if everything goes well, building a ship like the Challenger will never be caused without half a year. This is still a very optimistic estimate."

"This is already good." Although Ding Yunyi was not very satisfied with the progress, he had to encourage his subordinates: "How much difference is there in our Taiwan shipbuilding workshop compared to Zheng Zhilong's Nan'an Shijing shipbuilding workshop?"

"Zheng Zhilong's?" Unexpectedly, Cai Jiuzhou curled his lips with contempt: "Sir, we were all frogs in the well before. We always thought that Zheng Zhilong's Nan'an Shijing Shijing Shipbuilding Shop was already amazing. But the craftsmen in our shipbuilding shop currently use the Daming people recruited from all over the country, but the technicians are all carefully selected red and barbarian technicians, and even more than a dozen ripe silk shipbuilding technicians specially invited by Captain Poleman. Under their guidance, our shipbuilding speed and level have improved by leaps and bounds."

As he said that, he was afraid that Ding Yunyi would not believe it: "Nan'an Shijing Shipbuilding Floor, which can build a dual-purpose military and commercial ship. It can only build three or five ships a year and dozens of ships. It was amazing in our eyes before, but a red and barbarian technician once saw the Zheng family's shipbuilding Floor and told us one thing, it was just a place for private shipbuilding, which is far from being large in scale. We follow the red and barbarian methods, not only save a lot of money, but also greatly improve the speed of shipbuilding. Not to mention, the current scale and level of our Taiwan shipbuilding Floor is comparable to that of the Zheng family. As long as the silver can be very good, the Zheng family's shipbuilding Floor will be beyond our reach at this time next year."

Ding Yunyi was overjoyed and hired technicians from the Red and Ganlu Silk Country on a large scale, which was exactly what he saw.

What is particularly prominent is that the shipbuilding technology of the Red Barbarians during this period is one of the best.

The West's shipbuilding technology and level are undergoing a rapid turn and development, and will soon surpass China. In particular, the three-masted sailboat's side has completely changed the history of the West lagging behind the East in shipbuilding technology, and has also made the West gradually occupy a major position in world trade.

The subsequent "geographic discoveries" were closely related to the emergence of this sailing ship and the use of new navigation technologies. Its appearance made navigators and shipbuilders unable to think of anything else worth improving.

The Turks captured Constantinople, and the Europeans' passage to the east was closed. In order to create larger and better ships, shipbuilders in Spain and Portugal merged wine ships and fast sailing ships to build a three-masted sailing ship. French literary giant Victor Hugo praised this as "a great masterpiece of mankind."

Its hull structure is more reasonable, with three masts, which can use winds within 65 degrees, can carry a large number of daily necessities, can stay at sea for several months, and can even navigate the earth.

Countless Western navigators successfully used three-masted sailing ships to open up new navigation routes.

The famous Western navigator Da Gama is an outstanding representative.

Da Gama looked for routes to enter the Indian Ocean around the Cape of Good Hope in order to break the Arab monopoly on East-West trade.

He succeeded, as a navigator, and he left his name in history, but his actions on the Indian Ocean coast were done by a complete demon. The crimes he committed in human history are simply hard to describe! (To be continued, Piaotian, a registered literary member recommends this work
