Return to Ming Dynasty as Prince: Two hundred and seventy-four (1) group of heroes
"I think if Bai Xiaocao did not lie, then the pirate ship did not use all the artillery to attack. The three-masted ship should be able to house at least thirty-six guns. They are far in the east, so we must worry about the excessive shells. Consumption cannot be supplemented. Yang, your ship is bigger than theirs, but you can only place heavy artillery that is clumsy and difficult to move on the deck. This is a weakness."
Adenie spoke to Yang Ling intimately. When it was public, she also came to the village and called him adult, but privately, she referred to Yang Ling as Yang, which was her exclusive name for her fiance.
The two people are shoulder to shoulder, and there are a lot of drawings on the table, all of which are made by Adeni, and the boat shape is very beautiful.
Adeni is dressed in snow-white Suzhou silk, and her skin is as lustrous as melting amber, and she is like a sun-filled rich wheat valley. Her figure is different from the slender and slender of a middle-earth woman, but her figure is concave and convex. The chest is round, with a three-pointed heroism in Mingyan, very **** and energetic.
I can imagine how many young officers would be fascinated by her beauty when she put on a heroic navy uniform. No wonder she was able to escape from Dagama’s fleet smoothly. It is estimated that no soldier would like to see such a cute A young girl was sent to the guillotine.
"Well, that kind of gun vibrates too much." Yang Ling couldn't help but remember that in Jimingyi, Tatar had no fixed artillery, and the stuffed explosives were overdone, which caused the artillery to fly for a long time. He shook his head and said: "The deck can't bear that. This kind of huge explosive power, but the gun mount you designed..."
Yang Ling read a drawing and said: "The army has been ordered to work day and night. Not only can it move the cannon flexibly up and down, but the rear sliding shock absorber can also minimize the vibration of the deck and the ship’s side. In addition to the lightness of the Franco’s gun barrel, it should be... ten more guns can be placed."
Adni shook her head with a smile: "Dear Yang, our largest main battleship can hold fifty to eighty guns. This largest ship is similar to your No. 2 lucky ship, but your ship is absolutely You can’t install so many cannons, and it’s not possible to replace them with a Franco cannon with a gun mount. Because there is no cannon installed on the ship’s side under yours. Of course. It will take some time to transform the warship, especially the deck reinforcement. . But in order to cope with the impending thorny and sea battle, I suggest to transform a few main battleships immediately, so that we can stand on the ones that do not fail...not fail..."
"Invincible!" Yang Ling smiled and took a sentence, then turned around and fetched a glass of iced plum soup on the side table, and said: "Come on, quench your thirst with a drink. All afternoon, you have been talking, Really exhausted. Regarding the transformation of the battleship, you will show the picture later, and I will instruct the shipbuilders to immediately transform the main battleship of the Fujian Navy, and convey to the shipyards that all future battleships and unfinished battleships This manufacturing."
"Hmm!" Adoni smiled sweetly at Yang Ling's thoughtful report, walked obediently, and took the cup. Her stature is extremely high, not much better than Yang Ling, and the proportions of her upper and lower limbs can reach the dividing line of yellow. Her round and slender thighs are tightly wrapped in silky softness, making them plump and smooth. Unique charm.
"Successful test firing of the artillery is easy. Now that the mold has been filled, the uniform size of various devices has also been formulated. The Armament Bureau has now stopped all other development and manufacturing work, and devoted all manpower and material resources to work day and night. Casting artillery components. At the same time, I ordered someone to expeditiously notify Nanjing Qianning with 600 li, so that the Nanjing Military Bureau suspends all affairs there and fully casts the Franco cannon. I think the artillery produced within a month can barely be equipped. Fujian Navy. With this power, I don’t have to worry about full thorns and pirates. If they don’t make trouble during this period of time, hehe, then the longer the delay, the stronger our power will be. They take it to heart."
"I saw you sorted out the information. Don't be too rushed. After all, it is not a day or two to organize a maritime academy. At least the war has to be ended and the sea ban is lifted."
"Well. Yang, I have read your trade policy. I have some ideas and I hope to talk with you."
"Okay, come, sit down and say." Yang Ling let her sit on the chair, and smiled: "Please advise."
"Yang, the western countries are prospering sailing mainly to find gold, silver and spices. Among them, the importance of gold and silver cannot be ignored. I see that a large part of your business plan uses tax adjustments. It is unreasonable to encourage people to barter and import large amounts of raw materials."
Yang Ling disagreed and said authentically: "Of course I know the importance of capital accumulation, but import a lot of raw materials, produce high value-added products, and then resell them, and at the same time save domestic resources, is this wrong?"
"I think...at least the initial stage is wrong. First of all, from the people, getting a bunch of raw materials is far less than gold and silver to encourage them to continue to increase their enthusiasm for trade. In addition, from the information you sent me to collect Look, Great Ming does not produce much gold and silver by itself, but once the sea is opened for trade, the economy begins to recover, the population grows, towns rise, and commerce prospers. Whether it is government or manor owners, it is inevitable to require currency to replace labor rent. . Brings a serious problem: insufficient currency."
Adenie said seriously: "Gold and silver must not be regarded as a metal that cannot be eaten or worn. As the most creditworthy currency, it can prosper and destroy the economy. This is where we are. I don’t want you...my husband to make the same mistake again."
Yang Ling has limited learning from school for this kind of macroeconomics and monetary science, and there is no practical experience. It can be said that some principles of rote memorization are entirely for the purpose of coping with the exam. Although modern, the modern theories under the mature modern economy that he has mastered may not be better than the people of this era.
So he didn't dislike it. Instead, he said modestly: "In this respect... Actually, I don’t know much about it. The Great Ming officials who are proficient in this kind of expertise are also very limited, so the things that are drawn up may naturally be wrong. I originally planned. In the process of actual application, it is gradually improved. If you have any insights, please talk about it."
"When national trade first began, a wealthy person must be the first to participate, and the consumption goal tends to be the high-end luxury goods trade that is not common in the country. This cannot be prevented. There is trade, which must be the first Driven. At the beginning, I wanted to trade in raw materials. I was eager for progress and eagerness. In our case, the national silver output has increased nearly four times a year in the past few decades, but it still cannot meet the needs of circulation. Insufficiency can only reduce the fineness of the currency, leading to currency depreciation and soaring prices. A large number of small and medium-sized aristocrats went bankrupt due to inflation, which caused insufficient land rent and insufficient income from industry and commerce. Government revenues fell sharply and social conflicts increased sharply. Before a large amount of gold and silver income came, the country almost perished because of a lack of gold and silver. No matter how much goods are produced, there is no currency for trading in circulation, and ultimately it will only lead to the rich sitting on supplies and the poor with nothing, and finally the entire country’s economy comes to a standstill. Great Ming treasure banknotes do not have the ability to pay credit, and copper money is backed by gold and silver. If such a large country has a rapid economic development, but there is no corresponding gold and silver accumulation, it will eventually be more dangerous than our economic crisis."
Yang Ling knows that countries in future generations will have energy crises and raw material crises, so his economic focus is on the introduction of large amounts of raw materials, while gold and silver are relatively weak. He did not realize that at least with the current processing capacity of Great Ming, the raw materials need not be imported in large quantities from foreign countries.
If cheap and convenient domestic materials are discarded, government intervention is used to force the people to use foreign materials that must rise by sea, resulting in higher costs. This is unrealistic in this era. As for the promotion of environmental protection and resource storage, Not to mention that with the current production capacity, those sequelae will not appear at all, and it will not be understood by the people, and will inevitably be opposed.
Under such circumstances, if money is insufficient and prices rise, the poor will bear the brunt and become the victim. Adeni's words are still light. I am afraid that at that time, it was not only an ambition that could not be used, but the good things that were originally intended to do for the people harmed the people.
It seems that imitating the experience of later generations and applying the modern knowledge that I have mastered rigidly will only end in a happy and unrealistic ending. Modern people, modern people, when they were careless, they almost made a big mistake. This mistake was not because they didn't use modern experience and knowledge, but because they believed and showed off modern ideas and opinions too much.
He raised his eyebrows and said: "Speaking of which, an economic reform should have more arguments for postgraduate entrance examinations. It is best to try it out in some areas first, because I know that in the future... uh... speculating about what might happen in the future , But ignored the current situation and characteristics. Well, I have to get in touch with Gu Dayong as soon as possible on this matter, and even if it has not been promulgated, it will be revised."
Seeing that Yang Ling was kind enough to accept her opinion, Adeni was very happy. She smiled and nodded, and said: "Well, there are too many beautiful things in Great Ming. That is an unstoppable temptation. As soon as the flood comes to Great Ming, countries can’t stop it even if they want to stop it. You just have to pay attention to this, and when enough gold and silver flows in, the government can make appropriate adjustments. Great Ming silk, porcelain, and tea are in the West. It is regarded as a treasure left in the paradise, which can be exchanged for huge income. When the Great Ming navy becomes stronger, it can also control the Nanyang Islands and the Indian Ocean and share the world with the West. Yang, you are a pepper, who never imagined these areas. Clove, cinnamon, cardamom, ambergris and other spices are so important to the West. They can be used as condiments and in perfumes, medicines and religious ceremonies. The most important of them is as condiments. In the West, meat is The main food, but meat is mostly boiled with salt, and the taste is bland. Since the Romans first tasted the wonderful taste of spices, spices have become indispensable things for Westerners. But spices are produced in the East and are produced in other places. The taste is much worse. Although it is cheap, it can only be used by the inferior. If you master these things, you will master the stomach of Westerners."
"Oh, girls are extroverted! Western girls are the same. But I am very happy that she puts her heart in me, but I will have a daughter in the future. If I dare to look at the foreign devil, I will not choke her to death. "
Yang Ling thought with a grin, and suddenly heard the door "knocking" twice, turned around and saw Cheng Qiyun standing by the door in a charming manner, looking at them with a smile.
The two now have an unknown affair, and they have never had a chance to talk in private since they came back yesterday. See you at first sight. It is inevitable to be a little uncomfortable. Yang Ling got hot on his face, stood up and coughed lightly, went to sit down at the table full of drawings, and said solemnly, "Sir, what's the matter?"
"Yes, my lord, I have news about Dulong Island in the East China Sea. I need to report it to my lord!"
Yang Ling's hypocritical, business-like face is completely different from his frivolous wind and current yesterday, and Cheng Qiyun secretly ‘despised’. Then cooperate authentically.
"Oh, come in, Adeni is not an outsider. Before setting up the Maritime Academy, you need to be familiar with the actions of the Great Ming government and the civil situation. I am preparing to arrange her to be your deputy, and let you take her. Say it."
"Yes, my lord!" Cheng Qiyun came in and walked to his desk. When she turned her back to Adeni, she suddenly pursed her red lips and made a kiss.
I'm dizzy, is it fun to cheat? Yang Ling was taken aback... Cheng Qiyun enjoyed his reaction very much. She smiled and crooked, and smiled slyly at him. Spring was in her watery eyes, which looked very attractive.
'Eat people's mouth is soft. Yang Ling is gone, he snorted and leaned back in his chair and asked: "What's the news on Dulong Island? Didn't Cao Tianchong drop Wang Meiren? It's the other way around?"
"Well, my lord guessed half of it." Cheng Qiyun's soft body nestled into the chair, and she glanced at him with apricot eyes, smiling sweetly and sweetly.
The more Cheng Qiyun teased him, the more Yang Ling ignored her, and still asked in a serious manner: "Where can others go? Reverse seal...Does it mean seals? He won’t accept the call to surrender? Even in name. Seals don’t even understand the situation during the trial, right?" "My lord, he’s the opposite, but it’s not the reverse seals, but...the Xihai pirates!"
"Western pirates?" Yang Ling sat upright suddenly, and said awe-inspiringly: "Quickly explain, what's the matter? How did they find Cao Tianchong, and what is the purpose?"
Cheng Qiyun didn't dare to laugh blindly, and replied earnestly: "Cao Tianchong's site is between Wang Meiren and Hai Gouzi, with Putuo Mountain to the west and Shuangyu Island to the east. It has always been Hai Gouzi's outpost. If the navy wanted to forcibly conquer Shuangyu, they would not be able to conceal them from sending troops. In such an important place, after they fell to Wang Meiren, Hai Gouzi never did anything to the traitor. He was suspicious of his humble duty, so he bought in. The eyeliner was used to obtain information in time.
"The one who brought Cao Tianchong down was the Western pirates now living in Luzon. Their leader is called Ti Pedro." Cheng Qiyun stopped here. Adeni's body really shook, Yang Ling glanced at her with pity and comfort, and then said: "Go on."
"The purpose of these people in the East China Sea was mainly to rob merchant ships and Great Ming smugglers. Their image and cannibal legends made it difficult for them to gain the trust of Mingren. Therefore, they urgently needed to find someone familiar with the situation in the East China Sea. Collaborators of water and land bandits and smugglers. Seals and snow cats are strong, and even Great Ming navy is not in the eyes, so they will naturally not buy the accounts of these Westerners. Although these Westerners’ gunboats are powerful, but After all, there are too few ships, and they are far in the east, and it is difficult to supply ammunition. They are unwilling to completely fall out with these two pirates, so they have to find another ideal candidate. Cao Tianchong was originally a sea dog, but after he voted for Wang Meiren She cut off her way of retreat from the sea dog. And Wang Meiren has never regarded him as a confidant. She is very wary of him, and his situation is very difficult when caught in the middle. At the same time, although his power is not large, he is also a famous pirate. He is familiar with the conditions of the East China Sea and all aspects of the relationship. Pedro sent a battleship to surrender Cao Tianchong on the condition of showing off his force and money to buy it. Recently, Cao Tianchong is selling and disposing of some properties, dismissing some old and weak soldiers, and preparing to leave Dulong Island. Take the elite soldiers and his three ships and join the Western Pirates."
Cheng Qiyun hesitated, but still did not say anything about Yang Quan.
Yang Quan toured Dulong Island as the second master of Mount Putuo. For a while, I was reluctant to play with women there. As long as the women captured in Japan, North Korea, and Ryukyu are outstanding, even if they have been taken as wives and concubines by some small bosses, they still rely on power to oppress and insult.
Once Cao Tianchong, who had long been intolerable, made up his mind to betray Wang Meiren, he immediately killed him to sacrifice the flag, retreat from his way, and make up his mind. This is his own fault. But at this time, it's better to pretend not to know.
"Um...do you have a countermeasure?" Yang Ling asked in a deep moment.
Cheng Qiyun said: "With Adni, our first batch of artillery can be equipped with the army within a month. We need some time. Whether the Western pirates of Luzon and the Westerners of Manchuria have cooperated, We don’t know if they communicate with each other. If they are in contact and now add Cao Tianchong as the inner ghost, then the two places will cooperate with us, and it is very likely that they will take the initiative to provoke us Great Ming. I mean: while Cao Tianchong has not left yet, Dulong The island must be fought, and the fight must be clean and tidy. In this way, first, you can give a warning to Wang Meiren and Bai Xiaocao who have accepted the offer. In case someone is half-hearted; second, you can show off your strength and seals and snow cats. , To force them to accept our terms; thirdly, so that the Western pirates can't figure out our strength, dare not act rashly, and buy us more time."
"So...who will execute it? Zhejiang navy?" Yang Ling basically agreed with her opinion and asked about the feasibility.
"Yes, Dulong Island is not very dangerous, and Cao Tianchong is now a traitor to Seals and Wang Meiren. It would be good if they don't take the initiative to send troops to crusade. There will be no assistance, our navy can deal with it. Them."
Yang Ling thought for a while, shook his head and said: "The Luzon pirates want to establish a spokesperson among the Han pirates, and they will not sit by and ignore their attacks. If there is no actual agreement between the two, Cao Tianchong is a grassroots. I won’t agree to be so happy. What if a Western ship appeared to help them? Your eyeliner is on the island. Although you know Cao Tianchong’s every move, in the vast sea, the Western pirates have returned to Luzon, or He is stationed nearby, after all, he doesn’t know. For safety reasons, let the Fujian Navy send people to participate, just to train this group of soldiers. When is the dispatch time, if it can be dragged for a few days, I will equip two warships first. Let them participate in the battle and escort."
Cheng Qiyun thought for a while, and Zhanyan smiled: "It's still an adult who thinks carefully, so just do what the adult said. I will send someone to inform the Zhejiang Navy to train for the battle. The ship here is refitted, and then we will face Dulong. The islands are encircled, and the specific details will be calculated before you go back."
Seeing that Yang Ling nodded and agreed, Cheng Qiyun stood up and said goodbye. With her slender waist bent, she quickly hooked her little finger on the Yang Ling palm, her eyes faintly, her red lips were like chewing cherries, as thin as a gossamer. : "The adults are so ruthless. If they succeeded, they ignored the rhyme, making people toss and turn, thinking about the brows..."
Unexpectedly, because he heard Western pirates have been listening to their movements, Adeni listened vaguely to a few words, and asked suspiciously: "What did the adult say? What eyebrow?"
Cheng Qiyun stood up calmly and calmly, and said to her: "I said I would only open my eyes all night and repay my brows not being raised in my life."
"Uh...what do you mean?" Although Adeni said that she knew Chinese, but she didn't understand Chinese poetry after all, she couldn't help but blurt out because she didn't understand the meaning of these words.
Cheng Qiyun Yanran said: "This is a poem, which means... Meng adults take care, promote and reuse, and are willing to do their best as a subordinate to assist adults in starting a foundation."
"Oh, that's it."
Yang Ling listened to her nonsense and wanted to laugh. But when she raised her eyes to meet her eyes, she found that those eyes were as clear as water and bright as oil. There was no hint of flirtatiousness in the deepness, and there was love and affection as mellow as wine.
"Only the general kept his eyes open all night, repaying his brows not being raised in his life..." This was her oath.
I just gave her a feeling, some love and compassion, so she feels so far away, and swears to die in return? For a while, Yang Ling felt agitated and a little silly.
Cheng Qiyun has left, still leaving a faint fragrance in place.
Adeni, who was sending her out with a smile, turned around. So he pursed his mouth, and said in a deep voice: "Yang, I want to learn Han poetry from you!"
"Huh? You want to learn Chinese poetry?"
"Yes, so I don't want to be flirted with my husband, and don't understand the meaning." Adni gave him a jealous glance.
Yang Ling realized that she was just pretending to be dumb, not a fuel-efficient lamp.
In the study of Governor Yangchang, in the afternoon, words such as opening the sea, lifting the ban, Pingwa, Western pirates, artillery and warships were no longer heard. I only heard the voice of a man and a woman repeating in the room: "The sound of wind and rain in the night...the noon on the day of hoeing...two yellow and green willows...a branch of red apricot coming out of the wall..."
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
The highest point of Dulong Island. A high flagpole.
On the flagpole, it was not Cao Tianchong's smooth sailing flag, but a naked male corpse.
I don't know how long the corpse has been hanging. The water in the body evaporates from the sun and wind, and the body becomes a little dry, but the surface of the naked corpse is shiny and shiny.
The corpse became lighter due to lack of water, and was swayed by the sea breeze. It hit the flagpole from time to time and made a slight "bang" sound. The corpse was actually hardened.
That was the corpse of Yang Quan. Because the body was painted with tung oil and turpentine, the surface of the body did not rot temporarily, but it had been dried into a dry corpse. His eyes had been pecked by seagulls and turned into two black holes~IndoMTL.com~Cao Tianchong was standing under the flagpole, with a red-sakura ghost head machete on his back, and his hands on his hips looked at the men who were constantly gathering. Seeing some people carrying women, and some people carrying baggages, they couldn't bear to leave those altars and pots in their hands, and I couldn't help frowning: This bunch of unambitious things!
He wanted to get angry. After thinking about it and holding back, the Westerners said that three days later, he passed through the seals and snow cats to pick him up and go to Luzon temporarily. But yesterday, someone suddenly noticed that he would arrive today. Didn’t you leave a lot of things too late to deal with? Distressed!
He looked back at the rudder gate that he had worked so hard to manage, like a large manor on the island, and sighed.
Today, he will officially hang up the black skull and crossbones flag. Become a **** for the red-haired ghost in the far west. Cao Tianchong put up the awning and looked into the distance: the sea is calm, the blue waves are gently undulating, it is a good weather to travel.
At this time, the three fleets of Hangzhou Bay, Fuzhou Port, and Luzon Island were rushing through the waves and hurried towards the same place: Dulong Island.
They also agreed and chose today...
