Chapter 813 Oak

,.

Amid the bleating sounds of the flock and the crying of the herds, Zhang Han finished washing up and felt very good and very happy.??

After breakfast, a servant brought a thick stack of documents, which were all urgent documents that Zhang Han wanted to read and sign.

There is also a sixty-mile post station on the grassland. Each post station has dozens or even more than a hundred good horses. Zhang Han's financial resources are much more abundant than the Ming court. Besides, He Yusheng originally had a military station on the grassland. When he did not turn against each other, He Yusheng's buildings were everywhere on the grassland to rest and replenish the convoy, and at the same time he was responsible for security and repairing damaged vehicles. Now it is enough to reuse these places.

A large number of documents are sent here every day, and each branch of the company has fixed monthly affairs to report. There are always some sudden incidents, and many sudden incidents are handled first.

For some normal official documents, each branch usually handles them themselves, and most of the things sent to Zhang Han are troublesome.

While Zhang Han was watching the article, Li Shenming, Sun Jingting and others rushed over.

Everyone has something to do, and it was like this when they were in Lizhuang. Zhang Han often sat in the signing room of the military commander. The big guys were doing things while chatting and laughing, but their efficiency was not low.

"Bald... No, Wang Biao asked to be transferred to Kuandian for training troops." Sun Jingting said to Zhang Han: "I have not made any decision on this matter yet. They planned to take over Li Shouxin on Pi Island and become a normal rear base in the future. Then they agreed to Mao Youjun to build a forward base in Tieshan, where we cut wood people there, there was originally a place to resettle, and then some reconstructions were enough. The fund he asked for was 3,000 taels, but it was only in the early stage. After the daily training and war began, it would be estimated that 20,000 a year. The number of people could be expanded from a company to a certain number of people. "

"This matter depends on Mao Wenlong's attitude." Zhang Han pondered: "We transport supplies from him and recruit personnel to take them away. Mao Wenlong will not have any objections to these matters. If a base is established in Pidao, Tieshan, Kuandian, and Yizhou to fight with Donglu, he may not agree to this matter."

Li Shenming said: "Wenlong values ​​fame the most, and what Dongjiang Town wants is military merit..."

Speaking of this, Li Shenming suddenly laughed. Sun Jingting and Zhang Han knew what he meant, and they also burst into laughter.

Indeed, the Tang newspaper in Dongjiang Town is becoming more and more ridiculous and nonsensical.

In the first year of Tianqi, Dongjiangtang reported only once to report the merits. Mao Wenlong reported to kill three Zhenyi and captured twenty-two people, mainly the Han army was coated with clothes.

In the second year of Tianqi, five thousand enemies were killed at one time and eighty-four people were captured. The elders of Liaodong brought cattle wine to reward the soldiers of Dongjiang, and the people "did not reduce hundreds of thousands."

In the second year of Tianqi, the third time in Gongtang was reported, killing 6,000 people, capturing 4, and killing 300 people in the Mao army.

The fourth time, Jianlu raided Longchuan with 20,000 cavalrymen, and the more than 6,000 he had previously captured were burned by him, and 318 people died in Wenlong's subordinates.

Three years before the Tianqi revelation, Mao Wenlong committed the merits and killed more than 11,000 Jianlu. If these merits and rewards were all real data, the power of Jianlu was destroyed by Mao's troops by one of 60,000, and even if the Han army and Mongolian left and right wings were added, nearly one-tenth of them were destroyed.

Of course, this number cannot be true. Everyone in the front of the head understands. Now people already know that Wenlong is a cowhide king. Fortunately, no one cares about him... Dongjiang Town is true when it goes deep behind enemy lines, it is true when it hosts hundreds of thousands of refugees. Mao Wenlong leads 200 people to take risks in the sea, and it is true when it takes advantage of the situation to take down Zhenjiang!

There may be many people who have criticized him for his future generations. For example, some people say that Wenlong will go to the sea without any mistakes. After all, there is no navy in the Later Jin Dynasty. Some people say that Chen and Liang Ce led their men to do it. Mao Wenlong went down the mountain to pick peaches, and then the Jurgen's main force ran away as soon as Wenlong arrived.

Zhang Han felt that looking at this from two sides is paranoid.

When Mao Wenlong went into the sea, the Ming army was defeated repeatedly. He never won the front battlefield at once. He led 200 people to deep into the enemy's back. There was a dark area with the fog of war. After all, the real war was not a game. Playing a strategy game, send a soldier to explore the way, and exploring the dark side, and you won't feel sorry for death. But what if you are the soldier who explored the way?

Chen Liangce dared to hear the news of the Ming army's counterattack anyway. As for the defeat in Zhenjiang, what kind of troops Mao Wenlong had at that time? If he didn't run away, he would be a good general if he stayed in the city and waited for death?

As for Mao Wenlong's bragging, this is also a shortcoming. Zhang Han always felt that this was an interesting person. According to the people ahead, Mao Wenlong was solemn and self-controlled. He was in his fifties and had a lot of white hair on his head. He also valued money and things. He trained soldiers with a good manner. The elite level of Dongjiang Town was far above Liao Town and Ji Town. However, the place was not full of financial resources, the soldiers were short of food and clothing, and even less weapons and armor.

However, Zhang Han no longer had the intention to continue to fund Dongjiang at this time. First, it was unnecessary. He had to do it in order to establish a relationship. Now there was no reason to do it anymore. Mao Wenlong would not accept it. He had already opened the town and gave Shangfang a sword. It would not be a good thing for him to have too close relationships with a big merchant and military officer like Zhang Han. Second, Zhang Han's own Liaodong strategy has begun to be carried out. The nail in Shisanshan has been buried. If there is some power in Pidao and Tieshan, Kuandian, the layout of the entire Liaodong will be more perfect.

"Since Wenlong values ​​military merit, our military merits can be counted as the top of Dongjiang, and he is given to him, but it is best to find Mao Longwen to ask for an island." After laughing, Li Shenming said seriously: "It is not a long-term situation on other people's territory. There are many islands between Dongjiang and Denglai, and some islands only have a dozen families, but the place is not small."

Zhang Han and Sun Jingting agreed together that it would not be difficult to do such a thing with He Yusheng's financial resources.

Sun Jingting said: "Then I'm going to fight with Tian Jitang!"

Zhang Han laughed and said, "Recently, hundreds of thousands of sheep and a large number of cattle and horses have entered the tent. The financial resources are still sufficient, and Tian Jitang should not show off his face with you."

"There's another thing." Li Shenming said at this time: "I received news from Taiwan that this time it was shipped from Taiwan in June, and it was considered to be coming here very quickly."

Zhang Han and Sun Jingting both looked helpless, and Zhang Han said, "It seems that the post-school method that Li Pingzhi said must also be carried out."

Sun Jingting said: "Then Tian Jitang's face is dark."

Even if according to Li Pingzhi's suggestion, from Datong to Fujian, it is mainly to bribe the imperial stations, but many places still have to transfer themselves and set up many stations. They set up stations in unfamiliar places, namely Heyusheng's power, where neither hard power nor soft power has been achieved. In addition, they have to build some light boats specifically for sending messages, which will definitely cost a lot.

"Chang Wei suggested," Li Shenming said: "Some oak has been planted in Taiwan. He said that some people can buy saplings from Nanyang or Macau."

"It's not easy to be anxious." Zhang Han said with some surprise: "I also know that it is best to build a ship, but it has a vegetation of at least twenty or thirty years, so we won't wait that long."

The senior officials of Heyusheng knew that Zhang Han was interested in conquering the South China Sea and wars with European countries, especially with Spain and the Netherlands, were inevitable, and wars against Britain may not necessarily go to war. Britain's power in Asia is now inclined to India, and it will be until the British defeated the Netherlands and Spain, especially after the end of the Dutch maritime hegemony, it will only be interested in East Asia at least a hundred years later. When their spindles are saturated and they are determined to dump them into China, it is already two hundred years later. Although this era is booming and the prototype of early industrialization is in its infancy, it is still the same as the real steam engine era, that is, the industrial capacity of European countries can plunder wealth for their own countries.

There is a long distance, and the sea is still very large at this time. Zhang Han feels that the real thing to deal with in Nanyang is the Netherlands, because the Netherlands is in the rising period. Although wars have continued to start with the United Kingdom in the local area, it will take decades before they cross the border. During this period, they have the Indonesian colony in Nanyang and are very interested in Penghu and Taiwan in China. They have built a castle on the offshore island of Taiwan and will soon build another one in Tainan. Then they will drive away the Spaniards and turn the entire Taiwan into a colony for development. If Zheng Chenggong had not needed a stable base to fight against the Qing Dynasty, Taiwan might have been ruled by the Netherlands. It would be hard to say that it was China's territory.

The shipbuilding industry in Europe is very mature. Britain can build the Sea Monarch with more than 1,600 tons. The main parts of this large warship are made of oak. Oak is much stronger than ordinary wood. Almost all European countries use oak for shipbuilding.

Since they have a history of more than a hundred years of long voyages, all countries pay great attention to oak planting. This is not the case in China. Not only is there no human race, but there are no large coastal wood cut down and no one replants. People from later generations may be surprised to see the northwest when they come to see it now, because there are barren mountains everywhere and soil erosion is very serious. Because individuals will not replant too many trees, the court neither has the awareness of this aspect nor will it have this ability. There is indeed no industrial pollution in this era, and the population is not as large as in later generations. However, in areas with early populations, environmental protection is definitely not possible.

Li Shenming said: "Chang Wei said that fighting for sea power is not a matter of one or two days. We may be able to defeat the Netherlands in a few years or ten years, but if we want to fight for the South China Sea and even go further, we will start planting trees now, and it is not too late."

"Chang Wei actually has such insight." Zhang Han was suddenly curious about Taiwan and the current Chang Wei. He said: "After a while, I asked the Military Office to arrange it. I want to go to Taiwan once, and it is best to go to Japan once to meet Li Dan and Li Guozhu."

"Li Dan just visited Taiwan and Penghu a while ago." Li Shenming said: "The Dutch should withdraw their troops."

"The news is slow." Zhang Han turned to Sun Jingting again and said, "We must hurry up and handle the matters of the post station."—
