nanming man

Chapter 1039
The rapid development of civilization stems from continuous exchanges with the world. From a historical point of view, an open China has always been able to stand on top of the world.

Although the forbidden sea could cut off the connection between Nanming and the land, and cut off the supply of the Ming army from the land, Gao Yihuan finally rejected the strategy of the forbidden sea.

In January, after Gao Yihuan celebrated the New Year in Guangzhou, he left Jin Shenghuan in Guangzhou and Zhao Daxian in Fujian, and prepared to return north.

However, Gao Yihuan did not cross the Nanling Mountains, but went to Fujian and entered Zhejiang, preparing to inspect the Jiangnan handicraft industry again, and brought a large number of orders from the government to support the Jiangnan handicraft industry and survive the period when Wei Jun and Nanming sea saw each other.

Government procurement is not a long-term strategy and does not have much sustainability, so Gao Yihuan urgently hopes that the Wei Army navy can quickly form combat power and open up the Nanyang route.

At the beginning of February, outside Fuzhou City, on the official road leading to Yongbeili, thousands of cavalry escorted Gao Yihuan and others to the Dawei Nanyang Navy Base and Shipyard.

The court of the Great Wei Dynasty considered it again and again, but decided to put the shipyard and navy port in Fujian.

Fujian has eight mountains, one water and one land. It is difficult to support so many people engaged in agricultural production. However, the people rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and the sea to eat the sea. Many people have participated in the ocean trade.

There are enough talents here, as well as craftsmen and materials needed for shipbuilding. If the Great Wei Navy wants to quickly form combat power, Fujian must be chosen as the location.

Yongbeili is located on the north bank of the lower reaches of the Minjiang River, more than ten miles away from the mouth of the Minjiang River. It is an important military and commercial port in Fujian Province and the water gateway of Fuzhou. He also has a name, which is Mawei.

At this time, Gao Yihuan, escorted by thousands of cavalry, came in a mighty manner. From a distance, he could see the flags and camps everywhere in Mawei Harbor, but there were not many ships in the harbor.

The Zheng family's boats were basically taken away by Zheng Sen, which made Gao Yihuan very dissatisfied. He suspected that Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Sen had actually reached a tacit understanding, so although high-ranking officials treated Zheng Zhilong favorably, they did not reuse him or the Zheng clan members who came over.

Now Zheng Sen controls Xiamen, Kinmen, Penghu, Taiwan and other places, with at least 3 soldiers in his hands, and the entire coastal area of ​​Fujian is threatened by him, and the key problem is that the Great Wei has no choice but to harass the Great Wei. Wei, Dawei couldn't go out to sea to beat him, Zheng Sen can be said to be invincible, which made Gao Yihuan very headache.

Although Mawei is a naval port of the Wei Army, it is still not safe, so Gao Yihuan brought five thousand guards.

At this time, the guard of honor was close to the horse's tail, and a group of people rushed out from the camp, and more than a dozen generals came to greet them. The leader was Wei General Gao Chengxun, and behind him was a group of Zheng Jun's surrendered generals.

"I respectfully welcome Your Majesty!" Gao Chengxun and the others dismounted from their horses, hurried up to meet them, and saluted before Gao Yihuan's horse.

Gao Yihuan reined in the reins, smiled slightly, glanced at everyone, raised his whip, "Get up, everyone!"

Several generals saluted Gao Chengxun and got up, then stood with their heads down, not speaking.

Gao Yihuan glanced at them, and seeing that they didn't look up, he deliberately smiled and said, "You guys don't even look at me, so I can only report myself first. I am Gao Yihuan, Emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty, what do you call me?"

As soon as the words fell, one of the elders raised his head, took a look at Gao Yihuan, and immediately lowered his head, saluting nervously, "I dare not peek at Long Yan. I am Shi Fu, the former guard of Fujian Province." , I vote for Great Wei today, I have no other intentions, and I am willing to serve His Majesty!"

Gao Yihuan frowned, "Who are you, Shi Lang?"

Shi Fu clasped his fists and said, "Report to Your Majesty, he is my nephew!"

"Okay! Serving for the Great Wei, I will not treat you badly!" Gao Yihuan nodded, and asked again: "What about you?"

A muscular black man saluted and said: "Your Majesty, my minister Hong Xishan, turned out to be General Xinghua, willing to die for His Majesty."

Another general came out immediately, saluted Gao Yihuan deeply, and said in a loud voice: "Minister Huang Ting, I have heard His Majesty's reputation earlier, and now I can serve Your Majesty. It is really a blessing for me!"

His words attracted the attention of many generals, but Gao Yihuan nodded slightly. He just needs such a dog leg who knows the current affairs.

Next, a few more generals came out to declare their identities. Gao Yihuan encouraged them one by one, feeling a little sighed in his heart. Many of these people should have been Zheng Chenggong's generals, but the struggle between the Great Wei and the Ming Dynasty was nothing compared to During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Wei did not shave his hair and was easy to accept. Many people who should have followed Zheng Chenggong surrendered to Wei.

This is a good sign for Gao Yihuan, and it gives him more confidence in forming a strong navy.

Gao Yihuan waited for everyone to finish the introduction, and then smiled and said: "Very good, you can see the general situation clearly, and return to the Great Wei, so that the people will not suffer from military disasters. Do things with your heart, and I will not treat you badly."

"The ministers are willing to die!" Everyone saluted quickly.

Gao Yihuan nodded in satisfaction, then walked towards Mawei Port, and asked Gao Chengxun, "Chengxun, Nanyang Navy, how is the situation now?"

Gao Chengxun immediately replied: "Your Majesty, the recruiters for the Navy have arrived, but there is a shortage of ships."

There were more than 3 generals under Zheng Zhilong, and most of them surrendered to Wei.

Gao Yi heard the words happily and asked, "How about the ship?"

Gao Chengxun pointed to piles of logs and a tall slipway in the distance, "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry has recruited a large number of craftsmen, and the Zheng family has left a lot of wood. The workshop has already started building warships."

Gao Yihuan looked from afar and saw the keel on the berth, as well as the busy craftsmen. He waved his horsewhip, "Go to the shipyard first!"

~~~~~
Under the escort of the cavalry, Gao Yihuan ran towards the shipyard roaring.

On a small hill not far from Mawei Port, a farmer carrying a basket collecting herbs looked solemnly at the smoke and dust raised by the cavalry, and muttered in his mouth: "It stands to reason that Gao Yihuan should go back to the north directly, why did he come to Fujian? I also came to Mawei to check it out, it seems that he attaches great importance to the navy, and with the national strength of the Wei thief, it is not difficult to build a navy, the country is in danger!"

Great Wei has a vast land and resources, and its manpower and material resources are far superior to Nanming who fled to the sea. As long as Gao Yihuan is willing to invest, the sea will be full of Wei's warships in a few years, and Nanming's manpower and material resources will inevitably fail in the end.

At that time, any strategy was not worth mentioning in the face of the huge gap in national power.

The farmer watched Gao Yihuan enter the shipyard, lowered the bamboo hat, put away the medicine hoe, and left in a hurry. He had to pass the news of Gao Yihuan's visit to Lord Guoxing, who had set up a naval base in Mawei Port and built a large-scale ship. The surname is ready early.
