Chapter 207 Developing Taiwan


Zhao Ming assigned staff to the two Tongzhi and the six ministers, making them a functional body similar to the Six Ministries to handle the government affairs under his rule.Zhao Ming himself also opened the meeting, and accepted Huaxia, Wang Jiaqin and others who were subdued in eastern Zhejiang as shogunate scribes to help him deal with government affairs and form a team similar to the secretariat.Now Ma Shiao, Chen Mingyu, Chen Yujie, Feng Jingdi, Dai Zhijun, Xu Fuyuan, Huaxia, Wang Jiaqin, Yang Wenqi, Tu Xianchen, Dong Deqin and others are Zhao Ming's subordinate officials.In addition, there is also a Xia Wanchun in Chongming, but he is not an official who commands the envoys in Zhejiang, but an official of the imperial court, and he has the title of supervising the army, which is a person sent by the imperial court to the East China Sea to monitor Zhao Ming.After a while, Xia Wanchun will come to Jintang Island to perform his duties.In fact, Zhao Ming did not want to be a warlord, but just to make him hold on to power, not to be interfered with by the outside world, and not to be cheated by others.After the appointment was finished, Zhao Ming immediately said: "Now after the division of responsibilities, this commander hopes that everyone can be responsible for their own affairs!"

”Everyone said that they would do their duty, and everyone had excitement on their faces.Zhao Ming bowed slightly, "From tomorrow onwards, everyone will perform their respective duties and govern the East China Sea well!"

”Now there are three main places under Zhao Ming's control, Chongming, Zhoushan, and a small area in northern Taiwan, and then there are many islands along the coast.Zhao Ming said to Chen Mingyu: "Mr.

Chen, this time Ben Shuai brought back a lot of people and materials from eastern Zhejiang, you have to gather the scribes and count them as soon as possible."

It turns out that if Jintang, Zhoushan, Chongming, and Taipei are barbarians, they can set up another guard and send it to Tuntian, Taiwan!

”Zhejiang's command envoy now actually has five guards, and one guard, which is the four Ming guards, but this guard, in the Siming Mountain, is in the enemy's war zone, and it is not easy to manage directly, so Zhao Ming gave Wang Yi a lot of independence.The Ming army has a guard of 5,600 households, each household has a regular soldier, and the rest of the men are surplus, Zhao Ming means that for every 5,600 households, you can add a guard.This guard, which is both a military unit and an administrative unit, is equivalent to a county.Zhao Ming planned to increase the population of 120 households in the future, set up 100 households, set up 1,100 households when it reached 1,120 households, and set up 1,600 households, and sent them all to Taiwan to develop Taiwan in the form of health centers.There are Dutch, Spaniards, and young people on the island of Taiwan, if they are ordinary immigrants, they will definitely not be able to gain a firm foothold, and the guards can not only be self-sufficient, but also a military organization, have a certain combat power, can stand firm, and it is easier for ordinary immigrants to survive.Zhao Ming plans to use the health system after the development of Taiwan and the expansion of overseas colonies in the future.Chen Mingyu had experience with this, he smiled and got up, and arched his hand: "Accept the order, and in five days, the document will be presented to the case of the marshal." ”Zhao Ming nodded, Chen Mingyu can directly say the deadline when doing things, and he is quite capable.Next, Zhao Ming ordered some things, such as the establishment of Mongolian schools in 100 households, the establishment of middle schools in 1,000 households, and the establishment of health schools in Wei, and the encouragement of all Wei Tuntian to open up wasteland, but also clear thinking, everything is in order.This made the new people look surprised, Zhao Dashuai is not only good at fighting, but also able to govern the place, quite powerful.After dealing with administrative matters, Zhao Ming began to pay attention to his army.This time, he seconded many officers from Li Chengdong, Zheng Chenggong, and Zhang Mingzhen, and at the same time collected a lot of righteous troops from eastern Zhejiang.These soldiers also need to establish a military system to manage them.However, at this time, the military preparation department was needed to register the new soldiers first, and Zhao Ming first shifted his attention to the sailor.On the slipway near the slipway of Jintang Island, Liegang, six huge Dutch gunboats, rested on it.Next to the gunboat, craftsmen have built shelves out of trees, and craftsmen are nailing planks and brushing tung oil to repair the ships.These six Dutch battleships suffered different damages in the Battle of Jintang Island, and more than three months have passed, and they are still lying on the slipway.At this time, Zhao Ming, accompanied by Chen Yujie, came to Liegang, and from time to time there were sailors and warships returning to Liegang to unload some food and supplies.Although Zhao Ming returned to Jintang Island, the sailors did not return, but attacked the Qing army along the coast and seized supplies."

After the summer harvest, the food and materials transported back by the sailors have been reduced by half."

Guo Zhong said casually.Zhao Ming smiled: "It's the end of August now, and the autumn harvest is approaching, so the sailor will show his skills." ”Zhao Ming said, looked at the slipway in the distance, and couldn't help asking, "Six gunboats, haven't they been repaired yet?"

”Chen Yujie, who accompanied him, hurriedly said: "Dashuai, three of them have been repaired almost completely, and they will be launched in mid-September, and the other three will have to wait!"

”Zhao Ming attached great importance to these six gunboats, which were the capital to threaten the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and at the same time, they were also the capital for him to compete for the supremacy of the East Asian seas.It is estimated that it will take three or four years for these ships to be repaired and sailors need to be dispatched to adapt to and master six gunboats, and to reach the level of the Dutch to operate ships.Therefore, Zhao Ming hoped that the ship could be repaired as soon as possible, so that the sailors could take over the warship, conduct training, and form combat strength as soon as possible.Zhao Ming frowned slightly, "Why is this?"

”Chen Yujie said: "Dashuai, the main reason is the lack of raw materials, and there is no suitable wood on Zhoushan Island.The three ships that were repaired were only able to get some wood because of the dismantling of three seriously damaged ships. ”The resulting wood needs to be dried in the shade and left for two or three years, that is, even if there is wood suitable for shipbuilding on Zhoushan Island, it is too late to cut it now."

In that case, let's dismantle a few more lucky ships and use them to repair the gunboats!"

Zhao Ming said in a deep voice: "If this is the case, can it all be repaired by the end of September?"

”Chen Yujie hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Do your best!"

”Zhao Ming bowed slightly, and suddenly said: "Zhoushan Island is too small, there are not many trees suitable for shipbuilding, Mr.

Chen started to prepare, and when the ship is repaired, send a group of craftsmen to Taipei to find a suitable harbor, cut down trees, reserve wood, and establish a shipbuilding workshop." ”Chen Yujie was stunned, hugged his fists and said, "Humble and orderly!"

”"From the matter of shipbuilding, it can be seen that once the sailor has an advantage, it is difficult to be surpassed."

Zhao Ming sighed, and then smiled slightly: "It seems that it is not easy for Hong Lao Thief to train sailors for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, this handsome sailor can maintain an advantage for at least ten years at sea, if the shipbuilding workshop is done well, it can even make the Manchu Qing Dynasty never surpass Ben Shuai." ”The island of Taiwan is vast, densely forested, and has an inexhaustible supply of trees to build a ship, but it is a better place to set up a workshop than Jintang Island.Chen Yujie said: "Daliuqiu is indeed more suitable for shipbuilding than Zhoushan, so he will build a shipbuilding workshop in Daliuqiu, the slipway of Jintang Island, which will be specially used to repair warships in the future!"

”Zhao Ming nodded, and then ordered: "Taiwan Island not only has the trees needed for shipbuilding, but the island is very rich in minerals. ”Chen Yujie bowed his head slightly when he heard this, and said with a fist: "There are not many craftsmen on the island, but the lowly will try their best to do it!"

”Zhao Ming heard the words and said in a deep voice: "If there is a shortage of craftsmen, the engineering department should try to train a group of craftsmen to come out." ”(Thank you for the 20190215223350074 of the book friend's reward, thank you for your support, ask for a monthly pass, recommend, subscribe, ask for a book list) ()
