Of course, the ships equipped in the future will mainly use the three thousand kilogram models. When the Ming Navy has a larger and stronger warship, it will be equipped with five thousand kilograms of heavy artillery.

At that time, Portugal was defeated by the Netherlands and Spain, and could not compete at sea. It was highly dependent on the Ming Dynasty and tried its best to meet the requirements of the Ming Dynasty. It was already very favorable in terms of artillery cost.

At least this year or next year, Zhu Youxiao estimated that even if the imitation is successful, the cost of artillery will be more expensive than buying it directly.

Only by achieving large-scale production can the cost of artillery be reduced. Only by understanding and mastering the technology of artillery casting can technological innovation be possible, and the best is better than the best.

To this end, when the Weapons and Gunpowder Bureau was first established, Zhu Youxiao established a reward mechanism and took out the treasury to encourage craftsmen to innovate and create.

The reward amount ranged from twenty taels to twenty hundred taels, which was a huge sum of money that was enough to make the common people crazy.

But in Zhu Youxiao's view, what is silver? Even a very small technological innovation and progress will create a hundred times of value in the subsequent production process.

Therefore, this reward that surprised Xu Guangqi and others was a little bit surprised, and Zhu Youxiao believed that the money was definitely worth it.

After making the final decision, the young emperor ignored the officials' whispers about the accident and summoned Shen Yourong to return to the palace with him.

……………………

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Taiwan was called "Island Yi"; during the Qin Dynasty, it was called "Yingzhou"; during the Three Kingdoms Period, it was called "Yizhou"; during the Sui Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty, it was called "Liuqiu".

After the middle of the Ming Dynasty, there were many names for Taiwan, such as "Jiulong", "Beigang", "Daoshi", "Taiwan", and "Taiwowan", and the official name was "Dongfan".

As early as the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan sent people to regain Taiwan, and during the reign of Emperor Yang of Sui, he also sent people to Taiwan. The Southern Song Dynasty had already controlled Taiwan in its hands, indicating that Taiwan has been China's territory since ancient times.

Shen Yourong went deep into the island three times, killing and expelling Japanese pirates and rescuing hundreds of fishermen, which was an important military action to show his domineeringness and sovereignty in the Ming Dynasty, and could be recorded in history.

What made Zhu Youxiao feel regretful was that the government did not garrison in the "East Fan", which left behind future troubles.

It is not too late to repair the sheep.

The Dutch ghost occupied Penghu for the first time and was repelled by Shen Yourong, but it will soon make a comeback; and Yan Siqi, the "King of the Taiwan Development" in history, is still leading a group of younger brothers in Japan to do it well.

The so-called first step, you can eat all over the world.

Zhu Youxiao had already tasted the sweetness of being foresighted in the Battle of Guangning, but how could he not continue to expand his advantages? He just crossed thousands of mountains and rivers until Fujian.

The Fujian Governor Nan Juyi was replaced because the former Governor Shang and Zhou Zuo could not calm the sea atmosphere. Shortly after he took office, the Ministry of War sent a letter and sent an imperial envoy to the imperial envoy.

The Ministry of War set up a guerrilla member and immediately sent 3,000 troops to station in Penghu to build cities and forts, thinking that it had been a long time to consolidate it;

The level of the garrison in Penghu was improved, from "South Road Control" to "Deputy General Office and Co-determination Title", which improved the military decision-making power of the Penghu defenders;

Increase military salaries, no removal of defense during the flood season, and stationed in Penghu all year round;

The Ministry of War specially set up a member of the Eastern guerrillas, leading 500 troops to garrison Beigang within one month; within three months, it increased to 1,000;

He also built a yamen in Beigang, and added one magistrate, the magistrate, the judge, the official and other officials should follow him;

Avoid conflicts with indigenous peoples in Dongfan, and be content with peace and harmony;

Investigate and determine the safest route to ensure the smooth flow of Zhang, Quan, Jin and Xiamen to Dongfan in the future;

Send sea ships to Zhaoqing, transport ten red barbarian cannons, and strengthen defenses on important coastal areas;

Nan Juyi was a little confused. What's wrong? The Ministry of War wrote so urgently and set a deadline. What big thing is going to happen?

As soon as he received the Ministry of War’s writing, Nan Juyi knelt down and received the secret order. After reading it, Nan Juyi almost understood that this was the emperor’s meaning, and the Ministry of War was so urgent.

In the secret decree, Zhu Youxiao emphasized the importance of Penghu and the Eastern Band, reminding Nanjuyi that the withdrawal of Hongmaoyi from Penghu may not be a stop, and may also gather ships and soldiers to invade.

Similarly, Zhu Youxiao also strictly ordered Nan Juyi to make all arrangements as quickly as possible, the faster the better. Penghu and Eastern garrisons should be elite and equipped with more firearms.

"The east bank is a deserted island on the sea, with a southeastern force, and a fertile land and sparse population. Now we should take the land first and continue to move people to open up wasteland and settle..."

In the secret decree, Zhu Youxiao also gave Nanjuyi the power to recruit people to Taiwan, which means that Nanjuyi can flexibly formulate some preferential and incentive policies.

What surprised Nan Juyi even more was that the young emperor plundered 200,000 yuan of treasury as a cost for various arrangements, which shows that he was eager to do so.

The faster the better, the better. There will be a brave man under the heavy reward. Nan Juyi will turn from the initial dilemma to calm down.

It is easy to do things if you have money, and it is not a problem to send people to station troops.

After the imperial envoy finished promulgation, he did not go down to rest immediately, but sat down and said to Nan Juyi: "The family is responsible for the orders. Lord Nan must also be loyal to the state affairs. Hurry up and give the emperor a complete explanation!"

Nan Juyi hurriedly bowed and said, "Don't worry, I will convene a meeting now and arrange the work, so that the emperor will definitely satisfy the emperor. Please return to the capital to the emperor..."

Qin waved his hand with force, interrupted Nan Juyi, and said with a sharp voice: "This is not true. The emperor sent the Za family and these two brothers of the Jinyiwei to come, one was to send an order to escort the silver, and the other was to wait in Fujian. Only when everything was done would he dare to return to Beijing to report his life."

After pausing, the Qin Envoy emphasized again: "If Master Nan cannot complete the work or exceeds the deadline, the emperor said that he would let the Zajia and others jump into the sea directly and there would be no need to go back."

Nan Juyi blinked and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Please, Lord Nan." Qin Envoy stood up and gave a gift to Nan Juyi, and said with a bitter face: "You are so plagued, hurry up, finish the job early, don't let us jump into the sea to feed the turtle?"

"The Qin envoy's words are heavy." Nan Juyi hurriedly replied with a gift, and he almost slapped his chest and promised repeatedly: "I will go and arrange it now. It will definitely be completed in advance. I will never make it difficult for Qin envoy to do it."

The Qin envoy felt a little relieved, but before he could feel at ease, he stared at Nan Juyi and asked, "I don't know how the emperor's secret decree was explained. Master Nan, you won't lie to us, right? If you go back to Beijing to report your life, the emperor's crack will crack..."

"No, no, absolutely not. Please relax." Nan Juyi felt that it was inconsistent with his identity, and did not swear, so he had to make up a lie and sent away the fear of death envoy. "I believe in Buddhism and never talk, so I want to go to the hell of tongue-pulling."

Oh, the Qin army blinked his eyes, hesitantly went down to rest.

Nan Juyi saw off the Qin envoy and the Jinyiwei who was accompanying him, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head.
