Only a thousand days are thieves, but not a thousand days are thieves.

For the huge agricultural countries in East Asia, the long coastline is a death row. Without enemies coming from the sea, there is no enemy. Once there is, one fight will be accurate.

Just like now, the battle report of Qiongzhou Prefecture, which was transmitted from the upper level of Guangdong Dusi to Xiangshan Institute, shows that the entire upper level of the Dusi was related to the wars between Qiongzhou Prefecture and Chaozhou Prefecture in the west of Guangdong Dusi, and was a strategy for the attack on the east and west to attack Guangzhou Prefecture.

It is said that this is a conspiracy, but in fact it is an open conspiracy.

The senior general of Guangdong Dusi clearly knew that Zeng Yiben was going to attack Guangzhou, but could he not be prepared for many other prefectures? If Zeng Yiben was going to attack Guangzhou, he would be accurate. If he was not prepared for the total number of troops, he would be just that. Who would protect Guangzhou Prefecture if he separated?

What will be the largest metropolis south of the Five Ridges? If it is captured by pirates?

But we still have to divide the troops. At least Guangzhou Prefecture has a big city to protect it. Most of the people in other places do not have big cities. Once they are affected by Japanese pirates, it will be a big deal that will harm thousands of families. In the face of this difficult situation, Zhang Han specially sent a message to ask for countermeasures.

It was definitely not just asking Chen Mu. Chen Mu didn't know anyone else, but only knew that the letter was sent to him. He wrote a countermeasure to the joint defense of the A-level community, but in the end he failed to implement it well.

Since the Japanese riots began, the coastal people of the Ming Dynasty were used to being wild. Just this year, the Governor's Office reported the thief in the court, seventy-two bandits and eight pirates. No one can be divided in the people of the coastal areas who are soldiers or who are. Chen Mu proposed that the key point of joint defense of Ali was to open an arsenal to allocate weapons to the people of all over the country - who dared to divide this situation?

Fortunately, after Yu Dayou forced Zeng Yiben to retreat from the coast of Chaozhou, the giant sea bandits did not appear on the coast of Guangdong again. However, people knew that he looked at Guangdong not far away, like a poisonous snake spitting out his letters, ready to open his poisonous fangs and take a bite at any time.

In the third year of Longqing, he arrived quietly under the circumstances of the police officers in the entire Guangzhou Prefecture.

The police are not a policeman. Regardless of Chen Junye’s affairs, he and Bai Yuanjie and Deng Zilong are training troops in Xiangshan to prepare for the enemy, and Zeng Yiben actually helped Chen Mu.

Training the flag army is never easy.

With the enemy behind, everyone knew that before the war, they wanted to practice more every day, and they complained that they were much less tired, but they were too much gunpowder.

Especially Zhang Yongshou, who was worried and tense all day long, led troops to patrol with a tense face. He did not dare to relax at all.

Speaking of which, Lao Zhang was also unlucky. The three brothers started together. The first time they saw Bai Yuanjie and Chen Mu both got something. He coordinated the flag army to fire guns and killed his people. He suppressed the miners and was blocked by the miners on the mountain and did not dare to come down. He guarded Qingyuan Gorge, and Qingyuan Gorge was broken by a group of Japanese men. Only Shishan was hard once, and Chen Mu was so excited that he led his troops into the enemy tide and almost lost his life.

Deputy Qianhu Zhang made up his mind to avenge his previous shame this time - let Chen Mu take the lead when he saw the enemy situation!

When Zhang Yongshou strongly expressed this idea to Chen Mu, Chen Qianhu curled the corners of his mouth very slowly, "Ha, ha!"

Such people have the passive attribute of attracting the enemy to attack first without knowing it, and want to change their destiny by talking. Is this possible?

"The ship from Yuegang is here and stops in Haojing."

Haojing welcomed a group of guests from Yuegang in the New Year, not only the caravan of the three of them, but also from others.

Once, Yiben's Japanese attack affected the coastal commercial roads. Not long after they set off, they had to return to Yuegang and stayed in February before they set off. In order to avoid the Japanese attacks, merchants spontaneously formed a large fleet, and then they followed the Qianhu fleet all the way to Haojing - because they heard that the Xiangshan garrison defeated the Haojing Yishang, and expected that the troops should be stronger.

In fact, this is true. Xinhui only stationed one general battalion, and the power of the South China Sea Guard in Xinhui is almost negligible, but Xiangshan is obviously different.

Nearly two fully equipped thousand-household offices are stationed here, which allows them to get the best protection and trade.

At the instruction of Chen Qianhu, Hua Yu, a "Haojing Haoshang" who owns a broken tavern, came forward to buy a large amount of raw silk and Fujian iron with goods slightly lower than the market price in Guangzhou, and transported it to Qianhu House in Xiangshan, where the peasant woman weaves silk and satin.

As for how much finished products can be produced, Chen Mu is not considering it. He always has to try a way of wealth first. This year is not enough, next year, just be familiar with it.

When you get it done, you may be able to build a factory in Xiangshan for centralized management and supervision.

After the New Year, it is difficult for the whole of Guangdong to keep a tight line. The defense in various places is a little relaxed, and the same is true for the Qianhu Institute in Xiangshan. The entire first lunar month only lasts the thirteenth day of practice.

It was not until March that the exercises returned to two practices in three days, and it was difficult to get up any further.

Because the shipyard was built, Xiangshan Institute had insufficient manpower.

On the southernmost beach of Xiangshan Station, Jun Yu, led by the flag army, shouted horns and dragged giant trees to leave deep ravines on the sand. There were wooden fences along the open-air shipyard. The small ferry in the past was even larger. The boatmen of the Hanmin followed the expert warships from Guangzhou Prefecture to rest and recuperate the wood, and raised the towering wooden poles and baked the wooden stands on the fire.

The dock with a shallow draft is under construction, and the adjacent shipbuilding land has been rested, leaving a place where four hundred materials can be built in the future.

Of course, that's only the future.

Now, neither the financial and material resources nor the manpower of Xiangshan Institute are enough to build a huge ship shape like the Yu Dayou Ship. Even if there are enough materials, they are not proficient in craftsmanship, so they can only start from a small boat of 100 materials that is five or six meters long.

But Chen Mu likes to fundamentally solve the problem.

At the ferry, Li Dan led his men to ride a sloop warship in the battle. Chen Mu, who was looking up at the shore, took the men to dodge. Li Dan and several people on the boat jumped into the water near the shore, leaving the uncontrolled sloop warship to rush straight to the shore according to the scheduled course and stranded on the beach.

"Entertainment Father, do you really want to demolish the ship?"

Li Dan took off his wet shirt and grabbed it in his hand and stepped forward. He looked at the stranded warship from afar and was reluctant to leave, "Although this ship is small, it can withstand small cannons. The stern is too narrow, but it can mount four cannons in front."

Although it is a small boat, it is actually more than ten meters long and not small in size. The back half of the hull is narrow and can only be loaded and not cannons. Only the bow and half of the hull can be equipped with two to six cannons, all with gun holes left.

Armed merchant ship.

"dismantle."

Chen Mu directed the ship craftsman and the painter to take a measuring ruler to map the shapes of various parts of the warship, and said to Li Dan: "You don't want to know why our 100-material warship can't even withstand the Franchise aircraft. If you hit a few gunships, you will disperse. But this kind of ship is fine?"

As he said that, he waved to the busy dock and said, "Stay all have their place. In summer, the frames of the hundred-food warships can fill the entire beach. All the fishing boats in thousands of households have to be replaced with the hundred-food warships with cannons. The apprentices have been sent to the Franchise Man's gun factory. For two or three years, they are all skilled artillery workers. At that time, let our Ming fishermen go to Nanyang to catch fish and fire on the gunship!"

The sun shines on the beach, the busy dock craftsmen become beautiful backs, and the tide comes and goes.

On the silent huge rocks on the shore are handwritten and seal carvings of Chen Mu, a thousand households in Xiangshan in the second year of Longqing: Xiangshan Shipyard.
