Late Ming Dynasty: Conquering the world starting from riding and cutting

According to the ideas of the Zheng Zhilong brothers and the plan based on the respective advantages of both parties, the plan is roughly as follows: The Zheng family takes advantage of its many ships and sailors (poor quality) to gather people from Fujian, Lingdong and other places who are willing to go to sea for colonization. The refugees were transported to the tenth state to increase the population of the two families there.

But when they get there, the Keelung Army will provide corresponding materials, such as food, oil, salt, farm tools, weapons, and even clothes and bedding, etc. to these people. After that, after the land is reclaimed, they will share the land brought by the reclaimed land according to a time agreed by both parties. income.

good! good! What a wishful thinking!

After Zhuge Xuan heard the plan proposed by Zheng Zhihu, he couldn't help but feel angry. This was obviously to make the Keelung Army take advantage of him! As long as you provide the ships, we will provide the bulk of the rest. Who knows if those so-called immigration materials you mentioned are used to support troops? !

Zhuge Xuan had seen many of these sneaky tricks in official circles since he was a child, and he was extremely skilled at playing them. In his opinion, what the Zheng brothers were doing was undoubtedly Confucius selling books in front of his door - not knowing what they could do.

Zheng Zhihu himself also knew the mystery, and he was as anxious as if he was carrying a little rabbit.

If the Keelung Army takes the opportunity to fall out with him, it is estimated that within three months, the heads of the three brothers of the Zheng family will be hanging on the top of Keelung City. He was defeated by the Keelung Army once and is even more powerful than them.

"Who wants to take advantage of others!" Zheng Zhihu complained in his heart, "This is simply asking for death!"

Qin Hao looked up at the ceiling, as if he could see the sun, moon and stars in the vast sky through the barrier of the ceiling. Zhuge Xuan and Zheng Zhihu on the side did not dare to say anything when they saw his actions.

The Zheng family's appetite is a bit big, but Qin Hao still plans to agree, but the conditions are naturally determined by himself.

"Since it's cooperation, it's a win-win move for both parties. Keelung must take the lion's share!" Zheng Zhihu breathed a sigh of relief at these naked words.

Keelung eats meat and the Zheng family eats soup. It's natural. If they get big profits, they are really afraid that Keelung's army will settle the score later!

"He actually agreed?!" When Zheng Zhilong heard the information from his brother, he didn't quite believe it. He knew that with the current power of Keelung Navy, it would only take a little longer to immigrate, and there was no need to accommodate himself in this way. .

"Brother, the general also has conditions!" Zheng Zhihu looked at his eldest brother helplessly.

1. Both parties jointly set up a non-governmental organization. When operating in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, it uses a banner similar to a business name, but it must not be made public and its actions must be concealed/

2. Materials and rations can naturally be provided by the Keelung Army, but they must be calculated into the cost of the Reclamation Bureau. After the reclamation shows results, they will be deducted from the benefits obtained. But the interests of the Zheng family must be offset by the land in the tenth state.

This is not because Qin Hao was stupid and handed over his land in vain, but because he was smart. The agreement did not say what land to exchange. You must know that 40% of the land in the tenth state is desert and cannot be planted or grazed. These lands will be handed over to the Zheng family in the future.

3. The Zheng Jiajun must ensure that, with every three months as an assessment period, no less than 100,000 refugees will be transported to the 10th state or 5,000 people will be transported to the Keelung port.

After listening to the report made by his brother who picked out the important content, Zheng Zhilong pondered for a while, seemingly surprised, "That's all?"

"That's most of it. The rest are just details. The general asked us to follow the standard of one strong man as the basic unit. Every twenty-five people form a knot, and every ten knots form a circle. We must form a camp step by step and gradually encroach. Thirty people from Kenting were selected from the first siege as the main active soldiers for self-defense.

The rest of the people also have to undergo simple training in order to be able to protect themselves. These people are included in the Keelung Army and we cannot use them. "

"100,000 in three months, more or less. This guy really knows my pulse!" Thinking of that always smiling but sinister face, Zheng Zhilong felt like drawing a knife. The urge to kill.

Among the fleets controlled by the Zheng family, most are lucky ships. If calculated based on this number, hundreds of lucky ships would be allocated specifically for population transportation, which accounts for almost 70 to 80% of the Zheng family's fleet. ship.

"That's fine! Transport people south! When you go north, you can't just come back and transport all kinds of materials, military supplies and goods!" Zheng Zhilong gritted his teeth.

The tenth state is the Zheng family's plan for the next hundred years. We have to pay attention to it. The cunning rabbit still has three caves. Zheng Zhilong has already regarded the territory of the tenth state as his own cave in his heart.

Half a month later, Zheng Zhihu made another trip to Keelung. The purpose of this time was to bring the immigration documents to Qin Hao for review. If there were no questions, he would take advantage of the winter slack season to start immigrating.

"The general agreed with our text and has ordered him to start gathering refugees from all over the country who are willing to go to sea in Weizhou in Lingdong to Hong Kong Island. He asked us to send people to Hong Kong Island to contact Weizhou and agree on a shipping date. By the way, on the way back It’s time to bring back the supplies needed for immigration.”

"In addition, when I came back from the journey, the general also mentioned to me that if one day he goes north to King Qin, I hope that my elder brother can lend him the way."

"King Qin?!" Zheng Zhilong's eyebrows twitched, and he was suspicious, "King Qin! What kind of king is Qin? Now that the foundation of the Ming Dynasty is stable, did he drink too much? Or was he messed up by those women? You are so weak that you dare to say such nonsense!"

Zheng Zhilong stood up from behind the desk and took out a set of books from the bookshelf covered with a thin layer of dust. Unlike other books, this set of books was often read by him.

"When you send someone to Hong Kong Island, give this to Weizhou and ask him to forward it to his lord. One more thing, we will definitely borrow the road, but I hope the general will not go to that point. Come on!" Zheng Zhilong's fingers tapped on the set of "Water Margin of Loyalty and Righteousness" unceremoniously.

"Brother, if the general is real, what should we do?!" Zheng Zhihu asked.

"What do you think!" Zheng Zhilong kicked his stupid brother out of the door angrily.

If that was the case, he really hadn't thought about whether to be an obedient minister or a loyal minister.

The cold wind blowing from the north was blocked by the mountains when it passed through Wuling. By the time it arrived in Keelung, it was already at its peak. At most, it only added a bit of chill to people and blew some of the green leaves off the trees.

However, compared with the warm atmosphere in Qin Hao's study, this cold wind is nothing!

Yao Shu, the commercial representative of the Qin and Han Dynasties in Jinling and Songjiang, took a boat from Songjiang southward back to Keelung after a long journey.

Qin Hao looked at his beloved general. After not seeing him for several years, Yao Shu seemed to have gained some weight. It seemed that the days by the Qinhuai River had worn down one's will. I wonder if the wind and moon of Qinhuai, which sold gold, had eroded the iron bones of this decisive figure in the past?
