Chapter 718 (1/2)
Longhou harbor.
It was built by Durbin on the main island of the Dawan islands. Compared with the normal city, Longhou port is obviously abnormal development.
The general building here is mainly divided into four parts.
The first part, of course, is the port. The huge port is the root of their roots, whether it is fleet attack, fishing or hunting.
The second part is a large number of shipyards, which is the basis of their foothold.
The third part is the large-scale tavern, which is the first place that most sailors go to when they go ashore, and it is also the place where they stay for the longest time. It is hard for people who have no maritime experience to imagine the risks involved. It is boring to float in the endless sea for a long time.
A lot of sailors are infected with the bad habit of drinking, and these pubs have no separation of wine and sex. It is normal to come here drunk and indulge themselves after landing.
Durbin, who grew up on the boat from urination, naturally knew this, and certainly would not miss the perfect opportunity to control them and reclaim their wealth.
The fourth part is the personal Castle palace of stubin, which is the most luxurious building complex in Longhou harbor. It has not been completed yet. Thousands of shabby islanders are whipped with leather whip every day, Quarrying and logging, adding bricks and tiles to the magnificent palace.
The castle palace, which has already seen its outline, is very characteristic of the east sea state. From a distance, it is a super huge warship lying on the land. It is strikingly similar to the Dragon roar, the flagship of the third fleet.
The king's palace of sdubin is located at the highest place, overlooking the whole harbor of dragon roar.
”Sire, this is the intelligence from the surrounding areas in the last month. There were 18 cases of escaping slaves, three of which were collective escaping slaves. There were as many as eight cases of Aboriginal mountain people attacking villages in the south. According to the report of our spies planted among them, the aboriginal mountain people and the serfs have signs of connecting with each other. They are going to take a big action against us at the time of the autumn harvest this year Although there is no accurate information yet, we have to guard against it. After all, we have been operating for so long that we can hardly see any harvest. ” East China Sea finance minister Keynes said.
It is one thing for Donghai to claim to be the ruler of the East China Sea, and it is another matter for the local people to disobey their rule.
Up to now, they have not yet completed the unification of the main islands of the Dawan islands. Their main sites are the north of the island, which has many natural deep-water ports, and the south of the island, which is mainly composed of high mountains. They are still under the control of the local Islanders, and all kinds of conflicts and riots continue.
Before stubin, the king of the East Sea, was shaking his red wine glass, the captain of the first fleet of the east sea state said with a look of disapproval: ”I said a long time ago, Keynes, you are wasting human and material resources. What do you need? Let's go out and grab them. Why do you have to spend time and effort cultivating yourself? Now it's better. Our ancestors who robbed us were robbed of their heads. That's the biggest joke I've ever heard. ”
Keynes replied solemnly: ”Captain Moore, please think over your mind when you speak. Up to now, your idea has not been corrected. We are not in the West Sea, but in the East China Sea. We are no longer the third fleet of the Commons family United Fleet, but the East China Sea fleet of King Durbin.
We are no longer businessmen, not pirates, but the regular army of the state. All the products and residents here are our leaders. Who are we going to rob?
Management and construction are the foundation of a kingdom's development and growth. Although this kind of thing is not as easy to see results as plunder, it is the most correct way. As long as we keep going, we will see results soon. ”
”Don't tell me these useless big truths. I want to see the results and only the results.” **Moore said with disdain, ”when you scold me with these great principles, first think about how the grain and wealth in the Treasury you guarded came from, how many of them were planted by you, and how many were returned by my brothers who went out and plundered?
You're a smart man. This figure should not be hard to work out, right?
The oil and water of the local aborigines has been squeezed out by us in recent years, but there is still a bigger object there, can't you not see it?
Compared with your poor construction and farming technology, people are professional.
Look at you. It took you four or five years to produce a few shabby manors and villages. How much land have you cultivated?
If you look at the leaders of the army at night, they will make more noise than you in half a year.
If you want me to say, what people do in this life is predestined by nature.
It's better to do what you're best at than to do something that doesn't work out.
Our autumn harvest is coming, which means that Yongye's army leader is coming.
What's more, the autumn harvest season and the rainy season overlap there. At this time, the river will flood again, and some rivers that can't pass through can accommodate the entry of small warships and warships.
It is the best time for us to have a big fight. As long as his majesty gives me the control of all the fleets, I promise that in two months' time, our granaries will be filled with fresh grain. ”At the end of the day, * Moore was so impassioned that he almost didn't promise to clap his chest.
Obviously, this is not a temporary initiative, but it has been planned for a long time, and now it is just an opportunity to throw it out.
”Short sighted, short-sighted.” Keynes denounced, ”how can a country's long-term stability be measured by its immediate interests?”? How many times have half of all the territories and countries lived entirely on plunder? The captain of the fleet only saw the victory, but did not see the risk of plunder failure. If you can succeed once and twice, can you guarantee success every time? If we fail once, the whole country will face the risk of subversion. Only by establishing a stable internal environment and basically achieving self-sufficiency, can we face all kinds of risks. ”
”Risk? What are the risks? ” **Moore seems to have heard a huge joke, ”as long as we keep the safe passage in the South China Sea and prevent the wolf like fleet from breaking in, we are invincible in the East Sea area and we are invincible in the East Sea area.
We have already explored the sea situation of Yongye's army leader. The warships come and go, and some of them are obtained from us.
At that time, as long as we take the posture of large-scale invasion outside Jiangmen port, we will be able to contain their main forces, and then send more ships to invade. I don't believe that how can they defend such a huge territory?
There is no risk of failure at all. There is only a big harvest and a small gain. Whether it is a big gain or a small gain, the initiative still lies with us. It depends on how many copies your majesty can afford to put down. ”
”You are preparing for a full-scale war against the Yongye army leader.” Keynes's face was a little ugly. ”We've been operating here for a short time, and we haven't been completely stable. Once something goes wrong, all the opposition forces will come out, and we will be in danger. In my opinion, it is the top priority to eliminate those who resist.”
”I have just said that there are only big gains and small gains in this matter. How can there be any risks?” **Moore sneered. ”At best they can drive us out of the Danube plain, or chase us to the sea? I wish they would. If we could make a pot of all their warships, then we would be in and out of the Donau plain. Don't you want to plant on that much larger land? ”
