Chapter 1170 Treasure Island

He sighed at the moment. He didn't know what Zhang Han was thinking, but Sun Jingting could be sure that Zhang Han was a person who values ​​friendship and never acted as a superior person in daily life, so he didn't have much thoughts and consciousness in this regard... Now it seems that this quarrel is probably the last time.

After all, they are not very good to Zhang Han and his image. People who don’t know will regard Zhang Han as a cowardly lord who cannot control his subordinates, and they become a domineering and arrogant minister. Especially if they really achieve great achievements in the future, it is not a good story to record in history books. You should be careful in the future.

Sun Jingting was silent, and everyone knew that it was not appropriate to talk about this topic. At that moment, Chang Wei said: "Brother Xiaozheng has also seen it here, including ships, boat yards, schools, garrisons, farmlands, industry and commerce. Now there is an extra foreign affairs, and Taiwan and other matters are all on track. If it weren't for the Dutch, we would be sure to pay millions to the military headquarters every year within one or two years..."

"It's very true." Sun Jingting nodded and said, "Although I just took a few days to read and listen carefully, no one can question the efforts and talents of everyone in the Taiwan Marine Department. I am already sure of this."

To be praised by Sun Jingting, all the people in the Taiwan Marine Division present showed joy. The person in front of him, who was only under Zhang Han, had a much higher status than Chang Wei. After receiving his praise, the hard work of these years has not been in vain.

Especially Chang Wei, who was a foreign relative, was working hard for several years. However, Taiwan only sent back 600,000 once in a few years, and had to reach out to the military commander again. In the past six hundred thousand in the past six hundred thousand, he had already returned, and he also asked for a lot of extra supplies and personnel. It was impossible to say that there was no uneasiness in his heart... If Zhang Han was really annoyed, or doubted Chang Wei's ability, in this situation, he transferred Chang Wei away and replaced others to preside over the overall situation, then Chang Wei would be really unjustly dead. In fact, the situation on Taiwan has already been established, and many things are waiting to be put into force. Without the Dutch pressure, it is easy to safely make a million a year. In addition, trade with Japan is also more than one million a year. In addition, various specialties can be produced in a few years. Trade with Europeans in Japan and South China countries can be profitable. Taiwan is actually ripe peaches, delicious...

Of course, Sun Jingting understood this, and everyone present understood... At that moment, Sun Jingting looked at everyone and asked, "I understood after hearing what Kewei said. Even if the Dutch people don't fight in this battle, we must fight, right?"

"Yes." Li Pingzhi raised his eyebrows and said, "Where can you let others sleep soundly on the side of the bed? If we want to get the benefits of sea trade, we must cut off the tentacles of the Dutch. In the future, we will attack the Spaniards and gain the benefits of the trade routes of Luzon and South Asia. According to our Industry and Commerce Department's calculations, three or four years later, that is, the eighth or nine years of the Apocalypse, Taiwan can get three to four million yuan a year by relying on the benefits of peace and trade!"

Sun Jingting was very excited. Although he didn't appreciate Li Pingzhi's passionate attitude, at least after Li Pingzhi was ordered to preside over the Taiwan Marine Department, both the industry and commerce industry in Taiwan were flourishing. Not only Hutchison's business, but also drove the commerce along the coast of Fujian. It is said that a while ago, a considerable number of Fujian merchants came to trade and trade. Firearm casting was managed by the Military and Political Department and had nothing to do with industry and commerce. However, a large number of workshops, including iron factories, are managed by the Industrial and Commercial Department. Judging from the situation Sun Jingting has seen it along the way, the management is quite successful, which shows its ability.

Sun Jingting said in an admirational tone: "Pingzhi was in office for less than three years and was appointed as the chief of the branch office of the Marine Department. This shows his talent and proof of his ability."

Having said that, everyone also understood that the battle was necessary. Sun Jingting frowned and said, "When will the delegation return? Since you have decided to fight, when will you take action, what are your plans?"

Chang Wei said: "The preliminary plan has been reported to the military department, but we have no way to wait for review and approval..."

Sun Jingting nodded and expressed his understanding. Although he was the military commander and a political official, he had no way to agree on Qingcheng's side. That was to break the rules, and Sun Jingting could not do this...

But Taiwan can take action first and then report. After all, it takes more than twenty days to come back at the fastest time. With such a long time, the Dutch people are afraid that they can wait for the Taiwan marching department.

Sun Jingting said: "From today's situation, I'm afraid the Duke will take action, so I'm a little worried about the safety of our mission..."

"I have sent a boat to Hirado." Chang Wei gritted his teeth and said, "We can't wait at critical moments. I'm afraid we will have to take action within a few days."

Everyone stood up together, feeling nervous. Chang Wei said to Sun Jingting: "Brother Xiaozheng, please go and see our combat preparations..."

"Okay, let's go now." Sun Jingting was a little tired at first, and the people in the marching department were afraid that he wanted to ask him to take a rest before talking. However, after that, when the war was about to come, how could Sun Jingting go to rest again?

Everyone went out together, but this time the entourage was strictly limited. Only Sun Jingting's entourage at the bureau level and above went with him. In this way, there were more than a hundred people.

Everyone rode horses, and there were not many horse-drawn carriages in Taiwan because they were not used, and the distance from the sea to the inland was still very close. The core area controlled by Hutchison now is only a hundred miles, and the total area between east, west, south and north is less than three hundred miles, which is probably part of Yunlin and Tainan in later generations, as well as Chiayi to Nantou and Kaohsiung.

As for Hualien and other places that need to go directly to the mountains, they are almost primitive mountains and forests now, without any development, so Hutchison certainly won't go there.

As for the core area of ​​the Dutch, it is also the Tainan area of ​​later generations. It is separated from the Chiayi area of ​​later generations and other hilly areas of Zhuluo Mountains. The offshore plain areas on both sides have been developed or explored. After the Dutch built the city of Rhlanzha, the confidence has increased greatly. They have searched for native people everywhere and planned to set up small castles in the Zhuluo Mountain area to penetrate into the Bengang area. These two places are easy to develop offshore areas, with only a few.

The hills and mountains are mostly plains, and there are many streams, which are easy to develop and farm. Later, Zheng Chenggong established one government and two counties in Taiwan, mostly in this area, and it was not until a long time before Taipei was developed. At this time, the Spaniards had small settlements in the Jilong area of ​​Taipei, with a small number of Han immigrants and enslaved natives. Because of their lack of strength, the Spaniards had never been able to develop successfully in Taipei. The development and large-scale immigration of Taipei were a few decades later...

Along the way, I saw tropical scenery of the island, and the trees were particularly tall and lush everywhere... It was developed in Shanxi early, and grass was mainly on the grassland, while forests were relatively rare. On the side of Taiwan, there was a blue sea on the left, and on the right, there were endless mountains dozens of miles away, with green green everywhere, and whether it was trees or crops, they were growing well... Sun Jingting asked the people from the Agricultural Administration Department of the Marine Department, knowing that Taiwan's climate and land were really easy to cultivate, and no matter what it planted, it would be a good harvest.

The experience of the Department of Agricultural Administration has considerable experience in breeding, ridges, fat fields, seedlings and pests are exempted. The rice fields in Taiwan have bumper harvests every year, and the sweet potatoes are planted are big and sweet, and the sugarcane is the same. After trial planting, it grows much better than those in Fujian. In addition, sorghum is also a high yield, and of course corn is also the same. Chili and tobacco are also easy to grow. However, tobacco is not easy to dry. Taiwan’s coastal areas are warm and humid, which is not conducive to tobacco drying... These are not surprising. Sugarcane sugar-pressed sorghum wine and rice sweet potatoes were originally Taiwan’s specialties and are well-known in later generations...

"Treasure Island, a good place." Sun Jingting, who came out of northern Shanxi, also sighed sincerely. For the Liao people, Liaodong is also a good place. Large areas of plains are alluvial plains, with extremely fertile land and numerous wild animals. Whether it is wild animals, river fish, or ginseng and various dried fruits in the mountains and forests, there are a lot of ginseng and various dried fruits. People who came out of Liaodong appreciate Taiwan the climate the most. It is enough to wear a robe when it is the coldest in winter. Unlike in Liaodong, when it is the coldest in winter, they can only sit in the fire pit from morning to night, and they cannot go out at night... This is also the reason why Liaodong people are addicted to smoke and like chatting and performing, interpreting the famous Northeast culture in later generations. It is really a place where people are nourished by the land.

As for northern Shanxi, it was very sad. It was developed for too long, and the mountains were all bare... Later generations did not know the situation in the world, and thought that if they traveled through it, they would definitely be fresh and green mountains and clear waters. Don't they know that it would be big... There are many mountains in northern Shanxi and most of them were cut down. There are only trees that are not easy to reach by people in the mountains. As for the air, there are many mines in Lingqiu, thick smoke and clouds cover the sun, and a smell of coke in the air... If you want a little freshness, you can avoid it. It can be called a real poor mountain and bad water.

The scenery on the grassland is pretty good, but before Hutchison entered, he had to say desolate. It was fun to grazing and playing. It was not a good thing to be in the wild for many years. It was common to sleep in the open and sleep in the wind and dining. When the transition was made, it was impossible to take a day and night. The key was to avoid natural disasters. Even if it was not the Little Ice Age, there would be a major disaster every few years. Herders could not survive and could only cross the wall to rob. If the grassland was really a rich place, how could they raise a group of wolves?

People who came from the north really liked this place. Han Laoliu said the most, first: "A good place, it's best to transfer me to the future, and it's best for my family to settle here in the future."

Song Yingsheng, the head of the Miscellaneous Research Institute, smiled and said, "Your sixth, you still need to wait, but I am going to come first."

Because firearms require the research and casting of heavy artillery with large caliber, the technical strength is far from enough. Many Portuguese were dug from Macau. Originally, the Portuguese opened an artillery factory in Macau and specially trained a group of technicians who cast artillery and cannons. This time, Hutchison was poached with high salaries... These people's salaries were very high, just like the situation in the later Beiyang Navy. The monthly salary of naval officers and soldiers was 8 taels, while foreigners were 200 taels per month. There were many people at that time, but when they thought about the technical generation, they realized that the money was worth it... Of course, Hutchison's style has always been that they would not want to rely on others if they could do it themselves. If these Portuguese people were willing to be naturalized, it would be a two-word saying, and they had to follow the example of the Ming Tartar officials to truly trust and use it. Song Yingsheng still had to strengthen his own technical strength. If he was not a race, he would be different in his heart. It would be better to be on guard against everything.
