Chapter 7 The first step of the Long March!

The night was dark, as if boundless ink was smearing heavily on the sky, without even the glimmer of stars.

Chen Hua was lying alone on the bed, and suddenly became a domineering ruler like Zheng Zhilong. He was surrounded by beautiful women with fat and thin swallows. He could now suppress his little brother. Chen Hua was surprised to find that his self-control was really good.

With his hands on his back, scenes of the daylight reappeared before his eyes...

The first step for Zheng’s Group to make changes is also the first step for him to intervene in history. The results are very good at present!

His words scared everyone silly, and it can be said that they fooled everyone. Everyone surrendered to his words, and even Zheng Sen surrendered to heavy pressure. After all, the Zheng family was a relative that he could not give up. As a Confucian child of the Ming Dynasty, who is important, the family or the emperor, does it still need to make a very difficult choice?

But Chen Hua cannot be proud because this is just the first step in the Long March!

Ten days later, the generals of the Zheng Group in Anping had left and they were going to go back to purify their troops. In the past few years, the casual style and the laziness of swords and guns entering the warehouse were all about to change.

Chen Hua also ordered his shipyard to increase investment in Western Galen ships from today. There is also a gun factory. He specially selected a group of veterans from them and moved them to Anping City to study the iron mold casting method.

At the same time, gun factories and cold weapons casting have also begun to transfer from manpower to water conservancy.

Zheng Zhilong has Europeans and even Dutch people in his hands. Is it difficult to build a few windmills to try?

He asked Shi Fu to rush to Qiongzhou, whose Shilu Iron Mine is the only high-quality iron ore source that Zheng Zhilong can think of now. In addition to the instructions of Hongji Coal Mine in northern Annan and coal coking and other measures, I believe that the Zheng Group's armed manufacturing industry will enter a fast lane of rapid development.

In general, it’s not Chen Hua’s awesome, but Zheng Zhilong’s awesome.

A single armed force has all the supporting facilities and talents and material reserves required in all aspects.

Now, all Chen Hua has to do is to further develop its functions, and of course there are also slight improvements.

As a young man, isn’t it normal to read a few YY novels by Dianniang? And the items he just ordered to go to can be said very well by any old white readers of Dianniang’s history.

The Shilu Iron Mine in Qiongdao, the Hongji Coal Mine in Annan Monkey, and the iron mold casting method, even fixed-loading bullets and granular powder are the winning magic weapons of many time travelers who started in the south.

Chen Hua issued orders one by one, and it took him a few months to understand it. He seemed to be a little too anxious. Is there still three years of safety? He actually doesn’t need to be so nervous!

After all, his initial goal was to maintain the Ming Dynasty, and he was also a relatively weak Ming Dynasty. This would allow Chongzhen, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and the Qing Dynasty to fight each other?

The same is true. The war continues and the world continues to be turbulent, and a large number of refugees will have no choice but to leave Middle-earth.

Chen Hua had to get the population of the back road to fill the back road from the endless wars. Whether it was a senior official or the Chameng he mentioned, he wanted to truly develop it, but he didn't know how many lives it would take to fill.

Of course, this loss is not worth mentioning compared to the losses of the entire Central Plains.

Chen Hua was obviously not a Virgin. He knew very well how many people would die if they were killed, which was something that could be thought of with his feet.

But this is the most in his own interests.

It is not in line with the interests of the Ming Dynasty, nor does it conform to the word "benevolence". It is just because he has no soul to penetrate Chongzhen.

But Chen Hua didn't care about these things. No matter how many people died, could there be more deaths than the Qing Dynasty after entering the pass?

He didn't have nightmares at night, dreaming that he was killed by thousands of unjust souls. Is this a material world?

So, although he has made many moves recently, he will not stop. Three years is not short, but it is not too long. Chen Hua was thinking about his next step in his mind...

In Zheng’s study room.

He used a pen to draw a circle under Zeng Ying's name.

The current governor of Denglai has just taken up his new position this spring. He is really sleepy and handed him a pillow. He was thinking of bringing some clichés from the north to train an army. This makes an acquaintance take the position of governor of Denglai, which is simply a blessing.

Because he really had no confidence in the land combat capabilities of Zheng Zhilong's troops, and he was so confused that he could pick the elite from it and then put in great effort to practice. This was not only because the Zheng army became a scattered and the morale of the army was declining. It was also because of the regional disputes within it.

As we all know, the clan concept in the south is more profound than in the north, and the clan concept and cohesion with the countryside are stronger than in the north. That is, Zheng Zhilong's success is favorable to this concept in a sense.

Look at the entire Zheng clan, how many manpower and conveniences have been provided to him during the addition process?

In addition, the backbone generals of the entire Zheng group, regardless of whether their surname is Zheng or not, were mostly from Jinjiang. This is a bit like the Whampoa Military Academy and the Fenghua native of Jiangsu and Zhejiang during the reign of Marshal Chang, and was born one head higher than others.

But how could his entire group have more than 100,000 brothers, and even Quanzhou?

Therefore, it is necessary for Zheng Zhilong to introduce "outsiders" from a long-term perspective or from the moment.

And it was also influenced by his concepts in his previous life. He always felt that the northerners were more reliable than the southerners when fighting with swords and guns. Is this definitely not Chen Hua’s map cannons, and Zhu Hongwu also pushed the north from the south? It was really an old concept.

If you want to introduce refugees and refugees from the north, Zeng Ying’s position as governor of Denglai is the most important thing.

Chen Hua cannot introduce refugees by land, and only the only way to go is sea. Dengzhou City may be too eye-catching, but what about Zhifu Island, which is already of little importance?

It is true that the latter has been one of the important seaports in the north since the Han and Tang Dynasties. During the Yuan Dynasty, Haicao Daxing started with Liujiagang in Shanghai and ended with Yangshu Wharf in Tianjin. The whole journey was "13,350 miles". After the route entered Qilu, "Shi Island in Rongcheng, Li Island, Weihai in Wendeng, Zhifu in Fushan, and Temple Island in Penglai were the only way to pass the grain."

Because of its special shape, Zhifu Island is simply a natural navigation symbol during sea transportation, and it is easy for sailors to recognize and utilize. Over a year, more than 1,000 ships entering and leaving the grain through Zhifu Bay, transporting more than 1 million stones of grain.

When we arrived in Zhu Ming, the sea ban was very powerful, but the people were all forbidden. The official shipping was still frequent. The poem "Looking north at the waves soaking the far sky, Xuantu Geng Gui is so pitiful, the wind is gentle and the sails are gathering in the evening, not the herbicide ship that year" truly reflects the situation of the ships transporting military rations gathering in Zhifu Bay.

For example, in the first year of Yongle, "the maritime transport of 490,000 shi of grain in Beijing and Liaodong, and later increased by 700,000 shi." In addition, in the 24th year of Wanli, "the old sailor ships were allocated, and the southern rice was transported by Huai'an, the southern rice was transported by Deng in Shandong, and the 100,000 shi of Laimi stones were all handed over to Pyongyang for delivery and transportation."

At the moment, the national strength of the Ming Dynasty was extremely declining, and the sea transportation on Zhifu Island was completely abandoned.

But Chen Hua felt that there was a good choice, so he slowly penetrated it and waited until three years later...

By the sudden change three years later, this place could become a bridgehead he arranged in the north. It could even be based on this and hooked up with the rebels on the land of Qilu, becoming the latter's arms dealer.

It is true that Chen Hua wants to support the Ming Dynasty, but he will never drag his team to Yanjing to resist King Li Chuang's army three years later.

It is okay to support the Ming Dynasty and support Emperor Chongzhen to Jinling. By the way, he can also squeeze out the high-ranking officials and nobles in Yanjing City.

At that time, King Li Chuang would sweep the land north of the Yangtze River, and the Ming Dynasty would nominally command most of China south of the Jianghuai River. Emperor Chongzhen's "personal prestige" was not comparable to Emperor Hongguang or anything else. At that time, Chen Hua must have had a lot of voice in front of Emperor Chongzhen.

Besides, except for Zhang Xianzhong from Sichuan and Sichuan, and Chen Hua from Fujian, Emperor Chongzhen could control a large territory. As long as he could integrate, he would still have a fight with Li Zicheng.
