Shipyard (please read it! Please vote for recommendation!)

After the establishment of the Protectorate, the Luzon Islands began restorative construction under the instructions of Zheng Kezang.

The first to put into production was the cane sugar factory.

Zheng Kezang originally wanted to open a cement factory, but because the skills of making cement had already been engraved in his mind, it was very easy to open a cement factory.

You must know that manufacturing cement is not difficult, and Luzon Island also has sufficient resources, including coal, iron ore, and limestone.

However, Zheng Kezang's control over Luzon Island was not strong enough, and he was afraid that the formula would be leaked.

But it doesn’t matter, Luzon Island is very close to Yizhou Island, and you can just transport the raw materials from Luzon Island to Yizhou Island directly.

This is safer.

Zheng Kezang once exchanged 5 brilliance points for the iron ore distribution map in Asia and clearly knew the location of a large number of iron ore deposits in Luzon Island.

For example, the Biko region in Luzon has iron ore reserves of 140 million tons, and the Camarines Norte region in central and eastern China has the Domac iron ore deposit, with iron ore resources of 10 million tons.

These two iron mines have been controlled by the Guards. As for who will dig the mines, of course they are the indigenous slaves.

"Old man, with our Guards here, no one will dare to bully you in the future."

Fortunately, the Guards had received instructions from Zheng Kezang and did not kill these Spanish shipwrights.

The Guards' offensive was too fast, and the Cavite Shipyard was completely captured by Zheng Kezang, with almost no loss or damage.

Cavite is located at the southeast end of Manila Bay, only 16 kilometers away from Manila. It is an important military base.

"I never thought that I would be able to see my Ming Dynasty's mighty master in this lifetime!"

"Long live the prison state!"

Without the strong Ming Dynasty as their backer, they, the Chinese people living outside, have a status in Manila that is not even comparable to that of the natives!

In my lifetime, I can see the Guards set foot on this land, see the Ming Dynasty lower the sun and moon flag, and see the Guards conquer the Spanish army and indigenous people and avenge them.

There was a bit of chaos when the Guards entered the shipyard.

"Young general, let's help the Guards build ships. We will build the best ships." The middle-aged craftsman is from southern Fujian, and his accent makes Qin Zhiguo feel very friendly.

It was enough for them to leave their homes and stay far away from their homeland. They also had to endure the intense heat of Southeast Asia and the oppression of Spanish colonists.

"Moreover, His Highness Jianguo attaches great importance to craftsmen. A powerful shipwright like you can rival the status of a scholar." Qin Zhiguo said cheerfully.

Both his achievements and various miraculous features surprised the craftsmen.

They had seen the barbarism and ferocity of Spain, and then they understood the importance of the mother country of Ming Dynasty.

These old craftsmen are full of excitement and excitement.

Fortunately, they are all craftsmen. No matter which era or country they are in, they are kinder to craftsmen.

In addition to these resources, the biggest gain from the Luzon Campaign should be the Cavite Shipyard.

"Thank you, we will eventually regain our homeland, long live the prison country! Long live the Ming Dynasty!" Qin Zhiguo shouted loudly.

Because he discovered that the moment he protected his own people was his moment of glory as a soldier.

No wonder the Guards were able to defeat the brutal Spaniards. It turned out to be a wise and powerful government.

Even the crazy Spaniards knew not to kill craftsmen.

Chinese craftsmen, who had always been oppressed in the past, spontaneously responded to the offensive of the Guards.

The overseer and the red-haired shipwright, who had long dominated the shipyard, were tied up and brought before the Guards.

The old Chinese craftsmen in these shipyards lived a very difficult life in the first half of their lives.

As a soldier, he was also happy at this time.

Qin Zhiguo did not disturb them. Seeing these happy old men, he admired Zheng Kezang even more.

"Long live the Ming Dynasty!"

Developed at no cost, countless iron ore piled up into mountains, making Zheng Kezang feel refreshed.

Upon hearing this question, Qin Zhiguo was neither silent nor unhappy, but only had expectations for the future.

The Cavite Shipyard was built by the Spanish in the second half of the sixteenth century.

This shipyard has more than a thousand craftsmen, many of whom are skilled and experienced Chinese craftsmen.

"Little general, it's boring not to drink on such a happy day tonight." The little old man's surname was Cao.

It can be said that it is currently the largest shipyard in East Asia, if not one of them.

As a result, Ming and Zheng's fleet began to operate at full capacity, transporting grain, spices, fruits, and mineral resources from Luzon to Dongning Prefecture.

A middle-aged craftsman asked expectantly.

With these iron ores, Zheng Kezang finally no longer had to import them at high prices from English and Japanese merchants.

"Old man, I am a soldier of the Guards under King Yanping of the Ming Dynasty. You have suffered." Qin Zhiguo enthusiastically pulled the old craftsman.

It doesn't matter if you don't know. At the celebration banquet at the shipyard, Qin Zhiguo solemnly introduced Zheng Kezang to these old craftsmen.

These craftsmen still didn't know what Jian Guo represented, but they all chanted it along with Qin Zhiguo.

"We will recover the Central Plains soon. Even the Spanish barbarians are no match for our Guards. There is nothing to fear from the mere Tatars." Qin Zhiguo said optimistically.

It may be a little inhumane, but this is a debt they should repay, Zheng Kezang comforted himself.

"The Ming Dynasty is mighty!"

When the Guardsmen with the sun and moon flag appeared outside the Cavite Shipyard, there were endless cheers in the shipyard.

Many of these old craftsmen have experienced several brutal massacres organized by Spain.

If the Supervisory State had not fought against all opinions and sent troops to Luzon to protect these precarious Luzon Chinese, he could not imagine what would happen to this land every moment.

Although the Spaniards bullied and exploited them, the wages they received were enough for them to survive in Luzon.

A gray-haired craftsman said to Qin Zhiguo who was stationed in the shipyard.

These little old men who had experienced great changes in history cheered happily. This was the happiest moment since they lived in Luzon.

"Old man Cao, our Guards have regulations. We can only drink when we take a bath." Qin Zhiguo shook his head and said.

The battle report of the Luzon War happened to be sent along with these trophies. His father Zheng Jing and father-in-law Chen Yonghua must be very happy.

"Little general, has the Central Plains been recovered?"

It has the ability to build fourth-level sailing battleships and repair third-level sailing battleships.

"Little General, I believe in you." The old man turned back and smiled.

Of course, he doesn't like to drink either, because he can't drink as much as others. Maybe it's because of his health, so he falls down after just a few drinks.

"Jian Guo said that drinking alcohol will affect our combat effectiveness. We should drink less and drink tea instead of bars." Qin Zhiguo picked up the tea cup.

"There are so many rules in the Guards," Old Man Cao complained.

"Yes, our most important rule is not to harass the people!" Qin Zhiguo said proudly.
