Chapter 21 Yu Dayou arrived

If the war on Qi Jiguang's side ended and spared a lot of manpower and material resources for Zhou Mengchen, then Yu Dayou's arrival was equivalent to giving Zhou Mengchen a universal key to solve the problem.

After all, if the war is on land, Zhou Mengchen himself can handle it. Although Zhou Mengchen has done a lot of research, he is still not confident that he can command a naval battle.

Because there are so many uncertainties in naval warfare than on land. Zhou Mengchen still has no confidence in himself. In fact, he is not very good at war. He is just a duck to be put on the shelves in Datong. Now he has a choice, so why bother to go on it yourself? He may not be able to do it well. It is better to leave it to someone with experience in it.

This person is naturally Yu Dayou.

After receiving the military order, Yu Dayou rushed over from Taiwan immediately.

When Zhou Mengchen saw Yu Dayou, he did not directly talk about the Japanese pirates, but talked about the East China Sea Navy. After all, during this year, Zhou Mengchen devoted himself to the East China Sea Navy and spared almost no effort.

Yu Dayou said: "Now the Donghai Navy has 40 No. 1 Fu Ship, 60 No. 2 Fu Ship, 100 No. 3 Fu Ship, and 78 other ships of various types. As for the small boats, there are 278 ships, and a total of 35,000 combat personnel. In addition, there are 10 wards including the Five Guards of the East China Sea, Penghu Port, Zhoushan Guards, and ten wards, with a total of 50,000 troops, and more than 300,000 elderly, weak, women and children under its jurisdiction."

After hearing this, Zhou Mengchen said, "Okay."

This sentence is good, it is sincere.

Before he came to Jiangnan, the ships of the Ming Dynasty were scattered among the various garrisons, and were generally much worse than the Japanese pirates. Although the overall number of the East China Sea navy did not seem to increase, its combat effectiveness actually soared. Forty Fu Ship alone, there were more than 2,000 artillery pieces. In addition to the artillery of other ships and shore defense artillery. Zhou Mengchen was confident that even if this fleet was placed in the West, it might not be impossible to touch the Spanish invincible fleet.

This fleet is Zhou Mengchen's sense of security.

Zhou Mengchen asked: "How is the situation of the Five Guards of the East China Sea?"

Yu Dayou said: "The Five Guards of the East China Sea. Now there are outputs, mainly wood, camphor, and some grain that can be supplied to the army." Then Yu Dayou explained to Zhou Mengchen the current situation in the East China Sea, which is Taiwan.

Last year, Zhou Mengchen returned to Suzhou from Fujian, and Yu Dayou directly attacked Wanggang. Seeing that the situation was over, Lin Feng immediately surrendered.

Then Yu Dayou changed Wugang to Wanggang, because from here to the west, it was Fujian and the hometown of many people. At Wanggang, the lower three guards were allocated, namely the East China Sea Central Guard, the East China Sea Left Guard, and the East China Sea Right Guard. Tens of thousands of people were placed, and 15,000 young and strong were selected as soldiers. Yu Dayou originally wanted to station a fleet in Wanggang, but found that Wanggang farming conditions were good, but the conditions were not good as a port, and the river silt was too strong. After all, it was only a few hundred years later that the ruins of Wugang could only dig soil without the sea.

Then Yu Dayou was established in Taipei and Tainan again, the East China Sea Forward and the East China Sea Rear. These two places may not be completely integrated with the later Taipei and Tainan. After all, Yu Dayou only wants ports. However, there are not many natural ports in the two places. It may not be the corresponding place.

After that, Yu Dayou was in charge of Wanggang and personally commanded the army to reclaim wasteland. On the basis of the original land of Wugang, he reclaimed more than 100,000 acres of land. For these lands, he fought a fierce battle with the Dadu Kingdom, and naturally, the result was negligent.

Even Yu Dayou did not report it. It was like a hunting trip. What's the nerve to say?

From then on, many natives were captured. Yu Dayou organized these natives and began to build cities and water conservancy projects.

So much so that Yu Dayou has been in charge of Wanggang for a long time, and Wanggang has also become the logistics base and administrative center of the Donghai Navy.

Now Zhou Mengchen summoned Yu Dayou, and Yu Dayou came from Wanggang.

After hearing the good news from Yu Dayou, Zhou Mengchen asked: "By relying solely on this matter, General Yu's military achievements in the future may not be under the Saint King Kaizhang."

After hearing this, Yu Dayou looked red and said, "It's better to give advice from an adult, otherwise I will be afraid of difficulties. Such a big thing will not be done." Yu Dayou did not tell Zhou Mengchen that, for a whole year, there were already tens of thousands of people who died in Taiwan, regardless of the old, weak, young and strong. Not to mention that many natives lost their lives in the difficult infrastructure.

If it is really a death sentence, Zhou Mengchen's immigration plan has already died of 30,000 to 40,000 people.

Only Han people account for not much.

He did not tell Zhou Mengchen that there were several mutinies among the people below, and even Yu Dayou personally took action to pacify them. This kind of hard work and hard work of overcoming obstacles is what it should be, and there is no need to tell them to the above.

Overall, Zhou Mengchen's heart was actually softer than that of ancient people. The reason was very simple. Children in later generations had seen too little death. Even if they attended a funeral, they did not see anyone die with their own eyes.

In the Ming Dynasty, the chance of death was too high, and there were many brothers in the family, but many of them could not stand. That is, the partners who grew up with you when they were young would die several times before you became an adult. Even more.

In this case, the ability to withstand death is much stronger. In modern times, when you see a person die, you can immediately be the same. If this person dies because of himself, you can even feel guilty to commit suicide. But for the ancients, this was too pretentious.

Because such things happen often.

Deng Cheng and Yu Dayou are good friends in life and death. After Deng Cheng's death, Yu Dayou was sad, but it did not hinder him from doing serious business at all, because it was useless to be sad. He could do it, that is, treat Deng Cheng's two sons as their biological sons. Cultivating them to honor their ancestors can also be regarded as a life and death friendship with Deng Cheng.

Even this is true for friends of life and death. Although Yu Dayou is tolerant of these prisoners who are from pirates, he will be unwilling tolerant if anyone violates him.

Zhou Mengchen didn't know that Taiwan's development actually had such a great price. He was a little neglected here, but it was a long time before he realized it. He thought at that time that if he knew the price was so huge, he wouldn't know if he would make up his mind at that time.

Zhou Mengchen asked some other questions about the navy. Yu Dayou answered one by one. Zhou Mengchen suddenly said seriously: "The cause of the Japanese pirates is that there are thieves in my dynasty, but there are many Japanese pirates. How can I be humiliated to a small country in my dignified state? This revenge must be revenged, but the vast sea must be used. Can the East China Sea navy bear this matter?"

Yu Dayou immediately stood up and bowed and said, "Please rest assured. The East China Sea Navy is determined to be able to sail far away and destroy all Japanese ships. However, the navy guards are certainly able to fight, but they are not as good as the Zhejiang Army and the Fujian Army. So I can't do anything on the shore."

"Don't worry." Zhou Mengchen smiled slightly and said, "I won't let the navy get ashore. But you are sure of it. You must know that there is no joke in the army."

Yu Dayou said, "Japanese ships are simple and cannons will not be available in the future. Although they have some attainments in hand-to-hand combat, it is no longer time to rely on swords and guns to defeat the world at sea. Therefore, large ships beat small boats, and large cannons beat small cannons. The Japanese navy is easy to destroy."

"Okay." Zhou Mengchen said. He immediately handed a piece of the document to Yu Dayou. It was about the new Japanese going south. Yu Dayou looked at it, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a trace of murderous aura emerged from his eyes.

Zhou Mengchen saw that after reading it, he said, "Is there any confidence to destroy these new Japanese people now?"

Yu Dayou said, "As long as I can meet them, I am very sure." Yu Dayou paused slightly and said, "This information is too simple, even said it is simple. He said that they are coming, but he didn't say when it will come and where it will come?"

"Even if the navy has countless methods, it will not be able to use it."

"Isn't this just a measure of General Yu?" Zhou Mengchen said: "I have done everything for you, what do you want?"

After hearing this, Yu Dayou stopped talking. He looked carefully for a while. After pondering for a while, he suddenly looked up and said, "Sir, I am 80% sure that they will take the Nagasaki Zhoushan route. The East China Sea Navy gathers in Zhoushan, which is enough to resist the enemy. As long as they find out where they are, the rest will be a natural thing?"

"Since last year, the coastal people have only lived a few months of peace." Zhou Mengchen said: "I don't want to be natural, I want to be foolproof."

"Do you know?"
