Win the Ding 1617

Kuyi Island, Tamna Island, Shanghai County, Taiwan Island, Hong Kong Island, Hue, Ha Tinh, Man Laka, Lijiapo, Lingjiawei.Kagoshima, Kyushu, Luzon.

On the huge sea chart, the main points of the South China Army were specially marked by Xu Huanshan with cinnabar.Routes that are either direct flights or need to be transferred at a certain port, like spider webs and chains of iron cables, cover the sea, connecting islands and continents.

As for the key points above, Li Peiting used a thin brush dipped in cinnabar to make more detailed marking lines similar to radiation.It connects cities, forests and rivers together.

After marking their respective routes, the two looked at each other, couldn't help laughing wildly, and threw the small dish and brush full of cinnabar in their hands on the ground.

20 years, a full 20 years!Finally saw the day!

After passing through the islands, the South China Army controlled the entire known eastern coastal area in its own hands.

And to the west, from Lingjiawei Island to Goa, to Madagascar, to the more distant Cape of Good Hope and Green Island, trading stations engaged in triangular trade and slave trade are quietly being built.

Through the ocean, which is regarded as a dangerous ocean by traditional concepts, the South China Army quietly sent its power, influence, and goods to the messy areas outlined by Li Peiting on the map. And the wealth coveted by the great Khans, Caliphs, Sultans, and Suduans of the barbarians, as well as the raw materials and labor needed by the South China Army.woman.

Through trade, the Nanzhong Army can obtain funds and raw materials, and at the same time export everything produced in Nanzhong, including those military equipment. Through trade, the Nanzhong Army can make a poor daimyo or a Sudan become stronger than Solomon in an instant If you want a rich monarch, you can also let a wealthy monarch be swallowed up by nearby forces overnight.

This is the maritime trade network that Shou Han has dreamed of and built for many years.

Today, this huge maritime commercial and trade network is officially completed with the change of flag of Tamna Island.

This is not only a large network for commercial trade, but also a network that can quickly mobilize troops, materials, and funds, transport rice from Taiwan to Shanghai County, or ship it to Nigu by sea.Or go upstream along the Yangtze River.The rice will be sold in Hangjiahu Plain and Susongtai area.Not just rice, but all refined salt, white sugar, cotton cloth, and ironware, as long as they are produced by the Nanzhong Army, they are willing to sell them outside.All can be sold through this large network.

And a large amount of money is moving against the current of these goods.It is like the function of veins and arteries in people is different.The destination of money flow is Hue.After turning a circle in Hue, it becomes wages, raw material payments, taxes, and profits in each link, which are distributed one by one.

People in this era don't know what the currency circulation system means.However, the concept of money flowing has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Right now, with the acquisition of Tamna Island, Kuyi Island and the Heilongjiang River Basin, which were solitary overseas not long ago, are no longer orphans. There is no need to worry about the lack of goods transported by ships due to the freezing period of almost half a year every year.

This Tamna Island acts as a transit point for cargo supplies to Kuyi Island and the Heilongjiang River Basin, just like the eye in Go.

"This is a big dragon!"

Li Peiting, a Go player, waved his arms wildly and danced.

Only the Li Huamei siblings who were watching from the sidelines were a little puzzled by Uncle Xu and his uncle's wild behavior. How could Uncle Xu, who used to be serious and unsmiling, lose his composure?Is it just for this Tamna Island that can be used to raise horses for trade? !

For North Korea, the spring of the tenth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty was undoubtedly a time node destined to lose the island.

On this side, Tamna Island with a radius of more than [-] li was captured by the South Central Army, and on the west coast of the Korean Peninsula, another island was also conquered by Jiannu.

In April of the tenth year of Chongzhen, Qing generals Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi and others under the leadership of Azige attacked Tieshan Pidao. The deputy general Jin Riguantong and his soldiers fought fiercely with the Qing soldiers for seven days and nights, and finally Pidao fell. Jin Riguan and others all died in battle.In the fourth month of leap, there was a severe drought, and there was no rain for a long time. Emperor Chongzhen issued an edict to blame his ministers for their crimes.At the beginning of May, Huang Taiji entrusted Kong Youde as King of Gongshun, Geng Zhongming as King of Huaishun, and Shang Kexi as King of Zhongshun. These are the famous Kings of Sanshun and one of the founders of the Han Army Banner.

(By the way, as a digression, the famous braiding drama in the Qing Dynasty, and pig gege, is because a certain poor and boring old woman passed by the Princess Tomb in Beijing one day and then perfunctory wrote it. And this Princess Tomb is buried. Kong Youde's daughter, the famous Kong Sizhen. I think Kong Youde, the king of Dingnan who was loyal to the Qing Dynasty all his life, was known in the [-]th hell. The grave of his daughter was able to set off another round of braid craze for the Qing Dynasty hundreds of years after her death. , will also cry bitterly, and feel sincerely proud that there are still people who miss my Qing Dynasty.)

"Little brother, what's the matter with you? Do you have something on your mind?"

On Halla Mountain, the commanding height of the island, you can look at the sea and sky through the lens of the telescope, and watch the horses play and drink in the pasture between the foothills.Li Huamei felt that the sea in the north was much more majestic and magnificent than the sea in Hue.

In the extreme field of vision of the telescope, there is a group of ant-sized black spots squirming in groups on the seashore. It is the peasants recruited on the island who were transferred to the seaside to carry bricks, cut down trees, and transport them from Hue. The incinerated ashes were used to build forts, expand docks, and build warehouses and barracks.

And in a few gentle places in the mountains, hundreds of Koreans, no, the newly attached Tamna people, are leading by their respective leaders to build suitable housing facilities for the racecourse.

And the first to be established is the breeding house that Nanzhong Animal Husbandry is proud of.

Dozens of stallions shipped here from the pastures in Fulang Mountain were carefully cleaned by grooms and breeders with light salt water, and then washed with warm water to prepare for breeding.

Not far from the breeding room, there are nearly a thousand Mongolian horses selected from the island.As the first batch of mares that were about to give birth to new lives, the grooms obediently drank water by the river and ate soybeans processed with light salt water.

If there are no accidents, these dozens of stallions will be used to sow the seeds of life for at least [-] mares. By the end of the year, a new population will appear at the foot of Halla Mountain in Tamra.In the future, Tamna will become another base that provides a steady stream of horses for the Namzhong Army, just like Fulang Mountain.

However, such a scene did not arouse Li Huayu's interest. He just accompanied his sister to watch the distant sea and the scenery at the foot of the mountain with little interest.At a young age, he has a frown and a preoccupied look.

"Sister, tell me, will our brothers be like Li Hui and Li Zong in the future? We will go to war in order to fight for the position, and the brothers will become enemies?"

What Li Huayu said startled Li Huamei.She looked around, but fortunately there was no one around.The harsh wind on the mountain distorted Li Huayu's words.People in the distance can't hear clearly.

"Who told you that?"

"Sister. After Master Dian Dian left that day, everyone on the island said that the visit of Lord Guanghai and Li Hui was a disaster. Some people talked about the fight for the throne between their brothers and their sons. I used to be in the school. My husband also talked about the change of Xuanwu Gate. I thought, now that my father is in the prime of his life, and my Nanzhong is rising like the sun, but if my father is old in the future, he will definitely be with us. Choose one of the brothers to take over the inheritance. I hope that by then..."

"At that time, you and Hua Ning, Hua Xuan, and Hua Bao will also play Xuanwumen? The five princes will attack each other?" Hua Mei immediately raised her eyebrows when she heard this!

"If there comes a day, believe it or not, I will lead the navy to blast the first among you to make a mess?!"

First, she solemnly expressed her attitude, and Hua Mei took her brother's hand, "Little brother, you and I were not born by the same mother, but we both grew up in front of our mother. In my eyes, you and Hua Bao are the same It's the same. Whoever the father chooses to take over the foundation is the one who will be the head of the family."

"Then, what if?!"

"What if?!"

Huamei stood up and drew a virtual circle in the air with her hand. A gust of mountain wind blew past her red satin cloak and flew up and down like a butterfly.

"Little brother, do you know how much land, land and food our South Central Army had when my father took over the family business? The land was no more than a small corner of the river, the soldiers were no more than a few hundred, and the money and food were even scarcer. Moreover, there were villains coveting official positions, and outsiders The Zheng family and the Ruan family are watching closely."

"If you say that the South China Army's Jiangshan is such a big piece of cake," Hua Mei pointed to the big cake that a soldier at the foot of the mountain was chewing, "the Hejing guarding thousands of households back then was a piece of cake on this cake." A grain of sesame. What the South China Army is today is all created by the father and uncles with one knife and one gun."

"But have you ever paid attention to the map in my father's study room? And the maps hanging in the rooms of Uncle Xu and Uncle Xu? Compared with the vastness of the world in my father's room, our South China Army's current The area is as big as a sesame seed. Compared with the map in Uncle Xu and Uncle Xu’s house, it’s just a corner of the land!”

"Little brother, what you said to sister today, no matter whether someone told you, or you thought of it yourself these days, sister should have never heard of it. But, sister tells you, if one day Father didn't choose you to take over this foundation, so my sister will lead the navy to go out to sea to find a piece of land, and lay it down for you and Huabao Huaxuan Huaning as a place to live and live!"

"Son of the Li family, shouldn't be so lacking in vision and capacity, just staring at the foundation of the country laid down by the fathers! If you build it yourself, that is the real skill!"

As the elder sister who brought him up since childhood, Li Huamei's position in Hua Yu's heart is naturally different. To a large extent, he is even more dependent on this elder sister than his mother, Li Muhua.Hearing my elder sister's lesson, I put away that worry and replaced it with high spirits, "Yes! Daddy has today, and it's all made by myself! I'm Daddy's son. , and I can’t embarrass my father! Sister, don’t let me lead the navy to fight for me, I also want to fight for a share of the world! I can’t rely on the land that my father conquered. Eat! You just need to lead the navy to help me!"

"This is the good son of the Li family!"

"By the way, sister. What is your ambition? Could it be that you are like those young ladies in the mainland, marrying a brother-in-law and taking care of your husband and raising your children at home?"

Hearing her younger brother ask this question, Li Huamei, who was already in love, blushed, "Don't talk nonsense! My sister's greatest wish is that one day, under the blue sky, my Li family's fleet will sail wherever the ocean is! In every port, there are ships with the flag of my Li family berthing."

"Sister, your ambition is four words. The stars and the sea!"

In May of the tenth year of Chongzhen.After the right wing of the Navy of the South Central Army and the fleet of Long Shengxing completed the occupation of Tamna and the preliminary arrangements, the squadron returned to Hue,

A battalion of soldiers from the Xuanwu Battalion was left to garrison the island, and there were thousands of volunteer soldiers from Tamna, all equipped with knives and guns.Make arrangements for the firepower configuration forts and port facilities on the island.Three gunboats, four Fuchuan and thirty large and small artillery pieces were left behind.Xu Huanshan took a closer look at Tamna Island.Laughing self-deprecatingly, "It can be regarded as impenetrable."

Only then did the group set sail southward, heading for Hue.

but.As soon as she arrived at Hue port, Huamei found that the situation on the pier was not right.

The porters and coolies who carried to and fro on the pier all wore face masks (masks) on their mouths, and they were not as energetic and enthusiastic as before.Instead, there seems to be a dull pressure hanging over Hue, making the people here breathless.

Not caring about anything else, Li Huamei ordered her ship to berth on the pier quickly, ordered the sailors to put down the boat, and she and her younger brother Hua Yu jumped onto the boat along the gangway, "Row quickly!"

When Kankan arrived at the pier, officials from the general's mansion had long been waiting there.

"Miss, young master, please put this on first." The two subordinates handed the two mouth masks that smelled of vinegar to the Li Huamei siblings.

The hearts of the siblings sank suddenly.When the two went out, they left to avoid acne. Could it be that the epidemic situation has not been brought under control for more than a month?

Walking around from south to north, and from north to south, both siblings have a deep understanding of the current situation in various parts of Daming.

Droughts are becoming more and more serious everywhere, and the weather is getting colder and colder. As the Little Ice Age gradually enters the climax, natural disasters occur frequently in various places. Even the Suzhou-Hangzhou area, which is known as the paradise on earth, also suffers from frequent disasters such as floods and hail.And after these natural disasters, there will be plagues, especially the plague, which is even more terrifying.Since the Wanli year, plagues have broken out in various places in Ming Dynasty. Especially during the Chongzhen period, many rounds of plague broke out in Shanxi, and many places were empty of people.

The plague developed rapidly, and it was said that it would die sooner or later.It is even said that the coffin of the deceased was carried out of the city to be buried, and even the mourners were infected and died when they arrived at the cemetery.If a severe infectious disease like the plague breaks out in Hue, Hue has a large population and frequent people coming and going, and this city with a population of 10 may become an empty city overnight.

Thinking of the plague, Hua Mei shook her head again, denying her point of view.

The outbreak of plague has a lot to do with environmental sanitation.Taking the city of Beijing that she visited as an example, when it was built in the early Ming Dynasty, the treasury of the Ming Dynasty was full of money, and the management of the sanitation of the ditches in the capital was relatively proper.However, since the late Wanli period, the ditches in the capital were all blocked, but there was no money to dredge them, and there was no money to repair the roads. During the reign of Chongzhen, the street environment in Beijing was even worse. The ditches are full of filth and filth, and the filth touches people.

Now recalling the sight of the dusty manure, sewage, cow dung and horse urine in the capital after entering the city from Chaoyang Gate with the grain transport ship, Hua Mei still couldn't help feeling sick.I heard from the eunuchs in the palace that the capital once stipulated that carts and cattle were not allowed to enter the city, but as time passed, this regulation became empty talk.The lack of government management is reflected in the appearance of the city. Every summer, the capital is infested with flies and gnats, dysentery and plague.Once an epidemic breaks out, the gates will be closed and people will die, and the sight of the sunrise at the nine gates of the capital reaching ten thousand coffins has been unceasing over the years.

Dirty sanitation and lack of good hygienic habits are the main causes of the outbreak of the plague. However, over the years, under the strong supervision of the Shou Han, the soldiers and civilians in the South Central Army area have developed relatively good hygiene. Habits, military and civilian cleaning, killing rats, have formed a habit.They are not allowed to defecate indiscriminately, and they are not allowed to dump garbage at random. Every day, a special person transports nearly a hundred cars of garbage piled up in various places in the city to the outside of the city, burns them and bury them deeply.Not only that, the General's Mansion also spent money and food to dig many deep wells for various cities and villages, or to attract mountain springs, stipulating that unboiled raw water should not be drunk.Build many public bathhouses and public toilets in towns and villages.

Compared with the mainland, the Nanzhong region has hotter weather. These bathhouses have been built to keep them clean and hygienic, while reducing the chances of various diseases.

At present, bathhouses in Daming usually have two types of facilities: pool hall and official hall.The former is a large bath, and many people can bathe at the same time, while the latter is a single room, which can only accommodate one person, or only a few people, and there are people who fetch water or take a bath for the guests.Of course, there is no official hall in the bathhouse structure promoted by the Nanzhong Army. Here, no matter whether it is a soldier or an officer, everyone sees each other with the same frankness.

In addition to the public baths, factories and mines in various factories also have their own internal workers' baths for workers who are off work to wash their bodies and take a break. (To be continued..)
