Chapter 1007: The opportunity is rare, you won’t return without getting drunk!

(1007)

【Today's first update is delivered!】

"Be a rich man? That's OK!"

When Zhang Zhun heard Zheng Zhilong’s request to be a rich man, he said crisply.

It seems that Zheng Zhilong is also a self-aware person. If he chooses such a path, he not only saves the life of his family, but also saves a considerable amount of personal wealth. As long as he does not have the idea of ​​revenge for his son, he should be able to live a comfortable life in the future.

The policy of the Hu Ben Army is to equalize the fields. As long as personal property is not against the Hu Ben Army, it can be retained. With the family property accumulated by Zheng Zhilong, there should be no need to worry about the next ten lives. Since the other party has agreed to surrender and has handed over all the military power and fleet, Zhang Zhun naturally has to promise to ensure the safety of the Zheng family.

"Guohua, I think this is how. The Zheng family and the Dutch have fought for so many years and are very familiar with the situation of the Dutch. There should be a lot of information about the Dutch with the Zheng Zhilong brothers. We should come here to study these information carefully and deepen our understanding of the enemy. In addition to the Dutch, there are also information about other Western powers, and we need them all."

"In addition, it is about the trade in South China. The Spanish envoy has clearly stated that he will continue to trade with us. Therefore, after we take over Jiangnan, we must start maritime trade in South China. Goods from the Jiangnan region must be transported and exported as soon as possible. This is a huge and stable profit!"

"However, I guess the Dutch will not let us trade easily. The Dutch are still very strong in the South Ocean, so we cannot force ourselves. Your navy should take the initiative to contact the Spaniards to see how to establish a safe route and how to arrange the escort fleet."

"The Spaniards want to get benefits from us, and they cannot do anything without any strength. They have been fighting with the Dutch for decades and have a deeper understanding of the Dutch. We don't want them to provide military support, but intelligence communication is necessary. In addition, you'd better send a group to Manila for a long time to facilitate your actions."

Zhang Zhun said thoughtfully.

"I understand, I will arrange it as soon as possible."

Yang Guohua stood solemnly, nodding with a serious expression.

He knew that the tasks assigned to him by Zhang Zhun were quite heavy. Especially when the Hu Ben Army and the Dutch Navy had already fought, it was indeed a bit difficult to ensure the safety of the route. Moreover, the main force of the Hu Ben Army Navy must be on the coast of Japan to ensure the safety of the landing troops. The number of warships used for escort is impossible.

On the contrary, the closer it is to the South Ocean, the more active the Dutch fleet is. Especially when it is near the sea near Manila, there are always Dutch fleets who are elusive and trying to sneak attack the Spanish fleet. This is also a headache for Spain. If the Dutch discovered the merchant ships of the Tiger Army while hunting, they would definitely take the initiative to attack. It is still very difficult to fight on other people's land.

Fortunately, good news is coming. By October, the eighth batch of sword-tooth ships will be launched. The eighth batch of sword-tooth ships are also fifty. These sword-tooth ships can be drawn out to be responsible for escort. As for the three main fleets, they are still mainly mobile combat. As long as the Japanese war develops smoothly, the main force of the Hu Ben Navy can smoothly advance southward and continue to the waters south of Manila.

Time, what the Hu Ben Army needs most now is time. As long as they can survive these three or four years, the Dutch will have nothing to do. As long as they can wait until the newly built Vajra ships are launched in batches and form combat power, the Hu Ben Army Navy will not have to look at anyone's expression. At the moment, they can only grit their teeth and persevere.

Zhang Zhun asked in detail about the sailors of the Zheng family fleet. According to the latest battle report sent by Li Jicheng from the front line, the Hu Ben Navy was indeed developed this time. With the Zheng family fleet, the first batch of the Hu Ben Navy recruited more than 13,000 skilled sailors. This is not all the sailors of the Zheng family fleet.

In other sub-foundations of the Zheng family fleet and in their old nests, there were also a considerable number of sailors waiting for the recruitment of the Hu Ben Navy. In the entire Ming Dynasty, the people who were most enthusiastic about sailing were probably the people along the coast of Fujian. The most conservative estimate was that the Hu Ben Navy would recruit 50,000 sailors here.

In the past, what Zhang Zhun was most worried about was the problem of raw materials for shipbuilding. After regaining Liaodong, the problem of raw materials was solved and the human resources was the turn of human resources. The Hu Ben Army Naval Officer School could only train professional naval officers. The number of ordinary sailors needed was too many, and it was impossible to train them, and they could only be recruited from the public.

However, in Shandong, there is no sailing atmosphere, and there are not many sailors among the people. Even if the Hu Ben Navy offered generous treatment, they still could not recruit enough sailors. This is one of the reasons why Zhang Zhun has always been jealous of the Zheng family fleet. Others have much deeper talent reserves than the Hu Ben Navy. After all, others have nearly twenty years of development.

Now, with a large number of sailors from Fujian joining, the two basic elements of the Hu Ben Navy are all ready. There are enough sailors, enough warships, and a guide for four hundred years of knowledge by time travelers. Zhang Zhun has full confidence that the future ocean will definitely be the world of the Hu Ben Navy.

"After they returned to Shandong, I would like to meet them in person. All departments of the Navy and other branches should be careful not to discriminate against them. The sailors of the Zheng family fleet are Han people, and they are of the same clan and origin. In the past, because of some internal conflicts of interest, they and my devil stood at an opposite angle. Now, we are fighting under the same banner, and treating them with enthusiasm as brothers."

"However, this does not mean that the requirements for them can be relaxed. These sailors who have received must receive our training before they can be arranged on the warship. As the saying goes, you must pass the quality and have strict discipline. If you are not physically qualified, we don't want it. If you cannot accept our discipline, you don't want it."

"Because of Zheng Chenggong's death and some previous conflicts, some sailors of the Zheng family's fleet may be quite hostile to us and are unwilling to join us. For these people, we must distinguish them. Those who are unwilling to join us and voluntarily retire, we can let them retire. Those who are unwilling to join us and who are unwilling to retire will be forced to retire. If there are fanning the flames and forming cliques, fearing that the world will not be in chaos, and solving the suppression, don't be ruthless."

Zhang Zhun said slowly with a serious expression.

"clear!"

Several giants in the army responded cautiously.

"good!"

"Everyone sit down! Let's drink!"

"Speaking of this, we haven't had a drink for a long time!"

Zhang Zhun was in a happy mood, picked up the wine glass and said to everyone with great enthusiasm.

Usually, he rarely drinks to avoid misleading things. However, he has never been able to drink these days. This is a big event in life. How can he not drink in such a festive occasion? A rare opportunity must be to return home drunk.

This wedding, all the wine produced by the people of Qingdao, called Rice Flower Scent. This name was naturally the one that Zhang Zhun plagiarized the descendants. Before, since grain was very precious, it was very expensive to use rice to make wine, so it was difficult to find rice wine. Even if there were, ordinary people could not afford it. It was not until Zhang Zhun appeared and implemented the equal-field order and the rice yield increased greatly, so it was possible to brew cheap and affordable rice wine.

After the locals brewed the rice wine, they asked Zhang Zhun to name the wine. Zhang Zhun suddenly thought of this. In his previous life, he did drink a lot of wines like Daohuaxiang. He also asked Zhang Yan to make free advertisements for Daohuaxiang several times. Speaking of which, in the area controlled by the Hu Ben Army, the name of Daohuaxiang is also considered good.

"Tiger head, hurry up!"

Zhang Zhun had a few cups of rice flowers and had a lot of talk after drinking.

In the past, except for Yang Junjie, who died unfortunately, the other seven people are now the giants of the Hu Ben Army. The main force of the Hu Ben Army is basically in their hands. With the continuous development of the Hu Ben Army, there will be more important tasks waiting for them in the future. Therefore, like Zhang Zhun, they will become the most dazzling stars of this era.

Among these eight people, the oldest was Jerry Yang. He was several years older than Zhang Zhun. After Zhang Zhun got married, it was his turn. However, Jerry Yang was always focused on the war and never heard him say that he wanted to get married or similar words. I guess he might not have thought about it at all.

Of course, getting married and playing with women are completely different. Yang Zhiyuan, Hao Linyong and others are all young people with strong spirits. It is absolutely impossible for you to say that they have never played with women. They have a high position and a strong future. If you don’t follow women, no one will believe it. Zhang Zhun estimated that there should be many beauties lingering around them. However, if you want to get married, they may not really have such a thought.

"Hey, Hutou, do you have any lover?"

Zhang Zhun asked with a drunken eyes and a smile.

When they reach their status, women who are willing to marry them can be ranked from Qingdao to Dengzhou Prefecture. The problem is that it is indeed not easy to choose a better one. Marrying a wife and a virtuous concubine and a concubine are what the ancients said to have died early in the morning. Finding a few women to vent their desires, whatever is fine. However, a wife must be virtuous and kind. If you marry a bad-hearted woman, it will be troublesome.

"No!"

Jerry Yang said honestly.

"Zihao!"

Zhang Zhun shouted immediately.

The professional firefighting captain is here, and there is no problem that cannot be solved!
