"Do we have sea ships and the Ming Dynasty trade at sea?"

Ruan Zhixiong suddenly asked this sentence, and the people below were also a monk who was just two years old and couldn't figure it out. Does maritime trade have anything to do with the war now? What's more, these people usually only develop in the army and have no idea about the situation outside.

"Report to the general, how many people under the general are locals. Do you want to call them to ask?"

Seeing Ruan Zhixiong's eyes as he murdered, they were also numb. This question itself is not a general in the army. It should be known that Ruan Zhixiong insisted on asking them to answer. Isn't this a bit of a forced person?

Fortunately, one of the generals' subordinates had a lot of soldiers in the local area. Although there were more than a hundred miles from the beach, it was at least more familiar to them than those of them who came from the south.

"Then what are you still waiting here? Could you let this general's sedan chair carry you over?"

After hearing the unpleasant words Ruan Zhixiong had heard, the guy hurriedly ran to his military camp.

Although Ruan Zhixiong had not figured it out yet, he knew that one thing was on the east side of the Ming army, and there was only one place with strategic value, that is, the northern seaport and Haifang Port.

“How many troops are we stationed here?”

Ruan Zhixiong pointed to Haifang Port and said that this should be known to these people. After they came to the north, all the troops in the north were assigned to their dispatch.

On the northern border with the Ming Dynasty, except for a part of the area around Haifang Port, all other areas were occupied by the Ming army.

"If you go back to the general, there will be more than a dozen warships from our navy, and there should be about 6,000 soldiers on the land."

The subordinates still knew about the other side. If they couldn't say anything, I'm afraid the general would take his subordinates to vent his anger again.

When Ruan Zhixiong heard that there were 6,000 people there, he breathed a sigh of relief. If the Ming army wanted to capture this place, these 6,000 people would be able to support one or two days. Our army here was not as fast as the Ming army, but fortunately, it was fighting on the local level and the movement speed might not be much slower.

"Report to the general, these people were all supplemented in the local area. This kid turned out to be fishing in Haifang Port."

The guy went out to find someone and finally came back. In addition to himself, there were four or five people following him. These people didn't know what Ruan Zhixiong was looking for them.

There was still a hint of fright on his face. Could it be that he did something wrong? In Annan, the status of the people is like a mustard of grass.

"When you were in your hometown, have you ever seen the Ming Dynasty merchant ship coming?"

Ruan Zhixiong was too lazy to talk nonsense to these people.

"Report...Report...General, we have never seen merchant ships in the Ming Dynasty, because the people in the Ming Dynasty were not very keen on maritime trade, but we often see some Westerners, those who look like monkeys, some of their hair are yellow and some of them are red..."

Hearing that this was the case, the soldiers below were not very nervous. They did not see much of the merchant group and the navy of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty itself did not look at the navy. As for the merchants who went to sea to operate, they were basically entrusted to Western merchants, so what he said was completely the truth.

After hearing what he said, Ruan Zhixiong was not relieved, but became even more confused. It would be useful if the Ming merchants often came here to capture this harbor.

After all, with the harbor in hand, these people could transport sea here, which in turn brought a lot of supplies to the Ming army, which was much stronger than on land.

But if the merchants from the Ming Dynasty had never been here, they would not have the so-called route. If they temporarily opened a route, it would not be a joke and would not be able to do it in a short period of time.

"Sir, are you worried that the Ming army will use this as a supplement?"

The people under their command finally realized that they were a little panicked in their hearts. They originally thought that the supplement to the Ming army was a problem when fighting.

So as long as we can persist in the protracted war, even if the losses were greater at the beginning, the Ming army would be the first to fail, and they would cross so many mountains to send supplies. Even if the Ming army was all heavenly soldiers and generals, they would not be able to persist after a long time.

Ruan Zhixiong did not answer their words, thinking that these guys are not waste yet. If you don’t have any ideas here, just send them to feed the pigs and don’t waste your military rations here.

"If the general is worried about Haifang Port, why not immediately destroy all the facilities in the port, and order local fishermen not to go into the sea and block the entire north. Even if the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty come, they can only use small boats to transport various materials, and the efficiency will be greatly reduced."

The general who just called people just now did not know how to fight, but he could do this kind of thing better than anyone else. Although what he said could solve some of the trouble, if there are still tens of thousands of fishermen in the local area who do not allow these people to go into the sea, what will the local people eat?

"No, it can't be like this. The local people are already very poor. They risk going to sea to fish every day, and they can only live a poor life. If they are not allowed to go to sea to fish, how can they live?"

When these soldiers heard this, they immediately refused to do so. If they were the same as the general said just now, the people in their family might starve to death.

Who doesn’t want to farm when the people on the shore can farm? But there are many mountains and few land here, so they can only go to sea to find food. If they don’t even go to sea, will there be other ways besides starving to death?

Ruan Zhixiong was upset when he saw these guys, and waved his hand and asked his subordinates to take them out. The national policy was formulated here. You guys are just ordinary soldiers. If you even listen to your words, wouldn’t this place become a vegetable market in the future?

“How many fishermen are there in the coastal areas?”

Ruan Zhixiong said with some concern, and he also agreed with what the general said just now, but if there were too many people who had no food to eat, there would be civil strife.
