According to Chen Yue's plan, the Dutch on Dongfan Island will be attacked in one year and occupy Dongfan Island as their base.
And even after conquering Dongfan Island, it still needs to be developed and the mainland population relocated.
Not much profit can be obtained in a short period of time, so there must be continuous financial resources.
Sea trade may be the only way to make a lot of money.
Of course, it is not easy to do sea trade.
First of all, you must have talents who are familiar with shipping routes.
Although Zhang Chenglei has gone to the sea and visited the Japanese country, he is not the fire chief in charge of shipping routes, so it is impossible to rely on him.
The vast sea is not land, and there is no reference at all.
In this era, there is no GS positioning for future generations.
If you don't know navigation, it is more difficult to do sea trade than to reach the sky.
Secondly, if you want to do sea trade, you must have ships and goods.
You can buy a lot of goods in Hangzhou.
There are all kinds of silk, tea and porcelain.
However, there are no ships suitable for sea trade in Zhoushan.
Although there are two two-masted sailing ships, they are used by the navy.
The warship cannot carry much cargo at all.
If you want to go out to sea for trade, you must have at least a three-masted fortune ship.
The ship is large enough to withstand the bumps of the waves, and it will be cost-effective to carry too many goods.
Going to sea in this era was not like that of later generations, because sailing sailing relied first on ocean currents and secondly on monsoons.
Take the Japanese country for example, the distance from Hangzhou to the Japanese country of Nagasaki is less than two thousand miles.
If the wind goes smoothly, it will take half a month.
If the wind goes against the wind, it will arrive in half a month. , let alone half a month, even half a year may not be possible.
When the southeast wind blows every summer, it is the time to set out from Zhejiang and Fujian to do business in Japan.
But when the northwest monsoon starts in winter, it is the time to return to Ming Dynasty from Japan.
Therefore, when doing business with Japan, we only need to make one round trip every year.
Naturally, we need to bring enough goods, so that we can make a profit.
As for your two-masted ship, it carries a lot of cargo and a small crew.
If you encounter pirates at sea, you have no ability to fight back.
In this era, there is a big difference between merchants and pirates.
Therefore, it is not easy to engage in maritime trade.
It is estimated that it is too late this year.
After all, it has entered June, the monsoon will start in Mashan, and the maritime merchants will soon leave the mainland for the Japanese country.
For Zhoushan, who was completely unprepared, time was really short.
However, if you miss this time, you will have to wait until next summer if you want to go to Japan for sea trade.
Chen Yue will find it difficult to think about where to get money this year.
Plans wait for no one, and time waits for no one.
An idea came into Chen Yue's mind, tempting him deeply like a devil.
Although he knew that there were too many things wrong with doing so, and it would offend too many gentry and wealthy families in Zhejiang.
Zhoushan's future plans were very unfavorable, and even Wang Yin could not continue to help him openly, but at this time Chen Yue had no choice.
Taizhou Prefecture is near the sea in Niujiapu.
Liu Neng and Zhang Chenglei are discussing a cooperative shipbuilding business with the clan leader of Niujiapu.
A single-masted bird ship comes from the north along the coast and brings a letter from Chen Yue, Duke of Qi.
Liu Neng opened it and read it again, his expression suddenly became solemn, "The Duke has summoned me to do something important, Cheng Lei, I'm afraid I can't accompany you."
Zhang Chenglei nodded: "My father-in-law's matters are important, you can go and do yours."
After handing over the matter to his subordinates from the Enemy Intelligence Department who were following him, Liu Neng took the incoming boat and headed north.

At the mouth of the Yongjiang River, there are two peaks standing between the river, Zhaobao Mountain on the north bank and Jinji Mountain on the south bank.
There is a fort on Zhaobao Mountain on the north bank, and a one-mile-square castle on Jinji Mountain on the south bank.
There is also a castle at the junction of the Yongjiang River and the sea.
Located in the water village, there are dozens of warships parked in the village.
This is where the Dinghai Japanese Defense Force is stationed.
According to the guard station set up by the imperial court, Zhoushan Island actually also belonged to Dinghai Guard.
The original Dinghai Guard was located in Zhoushan.
However, later the imperial court banned the sea and a large number of Zhoushan people were moved to the mainland of the island.
The Yongjiang River entered Ningbo Shao The gateway to Xingshu Prefecture, during the Jiajing period, in order to prevent Japanese pirates from attacking, a fort was built at the mouth of the Yongjiang River and a fort was set up.
The position of the Dinghai Japanese Defense Commander was established to take charge of Ningbo Prefecture's Japanese defense affairs, which has been continued to this day.
Lu Tai, the new commander-in-chief of Dinghai, frowned.
He was worried about his subordinates whose military discipline was lax.
The subordinates here are all military households of Dinghaiwei.
In terms of military discipline and combat effectiveness, they are not even as good as the subordinates who served as coastal defense guerrillas in Tianjin in the past, let alone compared with the Pingnan Military Water Camp later.
The soldiers all came from military families and made a living by farming big fish on weekdays.
However, most of the military fields in the guard station were occupied by officers.
Most of the soldiers were reduced to tenant farmers of hundreds of thousands of officers, and their lives were much worse than those of ordinary people.
There will be miserable days.
The land in the Ningbo area was originally barren, and the land belonging to the guards was all barren military fields near the sea.
There was not much output in a year, and they had to pay land taxes to the court.
The soldiers of the military household worked hard for a year, and the output was not enough to provide food and clothing for the whole family.
If it weren't for being close to the sea and catching some fish and shrimp to make up for it, many military households might have fled one after another.
The original commander-in-chief Wang Zhiren was transferred to Huguang.
Although the other officers openly expressed their welcome to Lu Tai, the airborne commander-in-chief of anti-Japanese war, they secretly opposed it.
The reason why they did not dare to object openly was It was because Lu Tai brought five hundred elite soldiers with him when he took office.
After staying in the Pingnan Army for more than a year, Lu Tai's horizons have become much higher.
He can no longer look down on the officers and soldiers under him who are just messing around without fighting ability.
But if he wants to rectify it, he doesn't know where to start. .
At this moment, Liu Neng arrived here by boat.
"But did the Duke ask Brother Liu to come?"
Lu Tai was overjoyed to see Liu Neng.
Before coming to Dinghai to take up his post, Lu Tai had already gone to Hangzhou to meet Chen Yue.
Chen Yue only comforted him and did not give him any tasks.
Now that Liu Neng suddenly came over, something must have happened, which made Lu Tai, who had been idle for several days, look forward to it.
Wang Qing stood on the bow of the ship wearing a brand new military uniform, touching the handle of the knife hanging on his waist, and he was very high-spirited.
Try out hundreds of households for military positions, starting from the sixth rank of military attache.
It had only been a little over ten days since Lord Liu Neng found him, but he had already undergone earth-shaking changes.
From a poor sailor in decline to an official status, it all felt like a dream.
No matter how much money you can make by traveling to sea, your status is very low.
But with these clothes, you will definitely be able to feel proud when you return home and be looked down upon by the people in the village.
As a sixth-grade military attache, even the leaders of the force have to look down upon me.
Of course, these clothes are not for nothing.
Wang Qing needs to complete the tasks assigned by Lord Liu Neng and find the talents that Duke Qi needs
