Everyone here has no idea what the governor means. They are obviously frightened by the pirates' landing! As for saving money and food, God knows where the money and food will go? But of course no one will expose it at this time. After all, they are also

It was really scary!

In fact, everyone here also knows why the governor suddenly sent troops to wipe out the pirates. It was just to collect money from those wealthy gentry families! But I didn't expect that this time I didn't eat the meat but made a mess. I thought the governor would make up for it.

In fact, the governor may not mean this. He just wants to get something back from those wealthy gentry families, but I'm afraid he wouldn't dare. Because there are people connected behind those wealthy gentry families. As the saying goes, a single move can affect the whole body. So he

We will not actively provoke the wealthy gentry.

But on the other hand, if those wealthy gentry families caused such a big disaster, they would take the initiative to express some gratitude to the governor. After all, the governor is a senior official here. If the governor is dissatisfied, although it will not shake their foundation,

but

If the governor does not cooperate in small matters, you can even give them some small shoes! If this is the case, it is inevitable that you will be at a loss when doing things. So the governor is sure that he will receive another sum of money, but no.

It would be too much.

But if he was wanted to send out troops to encircle and suppress the Red-Eyed Dragon King again, he would never do it again. The landing of the Red-Eyed Dragon King this time scared him out of his wits! If he sent out troops again to annoy the Red-Eyed Dragon King, he would lead his people in

With the looting around Quanzhou, I'm afraid this official will be done for! It's best for each of us to live in peace!

The governor's idea was also agreed by everyone present. Everyone said that there is no rush in using troops. The governor's calm way of using troops is the mature way to run the country.

There are also officials who volunteered to talk to the Navy people and asked them not to push themselves. However, the Navy has suffered such a heavy loss this time, and it is still necessary to take care of the mood of the Navy generals. It is still necessary to allocate some funds.

Use the money to repair the ship. Otherwise, if the Red-Eyed Dragon King attacks next time, the Navy's men can always resist it.

This statement was also praised and agreed by everyone present. So the adults discussed it and decided to give it to the Navy again.

Allocate 2,000 taels of silver to repair existing warships. As for building new ships, there is no need. Anyway, we don’t expect them to be able to defeat the pirates. As long as they can resist the pirates for a while when they come, they can help Quanzhou City.

Adequate warning time is enough.

As for whether General Wang Shen will repair the ship after getting the money, that is his business! Anyway, I forgive him for not talking nonsense and ruining everyone's credit. Because this time he was not held accountable for his unprovoked war, which was a waste of money and food.

That's his luck!

Early on the next morning, a report and a sum of money were sent out quickly. Not long after, the imperial court indeed came down with a commendation, praising the governor and a group of officials for their fearless conduct and proper command in the face of danger, thus defeating the pirates.

He also reprimanded them for their lax management of the cell and asked them not to follow suit in the future. In short, this time the storm was over like this.

After returning to Taiwan, Liu Pei began to count the loot. As a result, he found that he really made a fortune this time! Of course, it didn't mean that he took back many things. He didn't like the things in the navy camp at all.

Eye. He didn't even drag the artillery back because those old artillery didn't match his artillery standard.

What made Liu Pei feel rich were the more than 300 craftsmen. Most of these craftsmen were shipbuilders. Some were craftsmen who forged firearms. Some were craftsmen in shipbuilding-related industries. Liu Pei made Quanzhou water famous.

The craftsman will not be able to build a new ship within a few years, unless he recruits a group of craftsmen from elsewhere.

Liu Pei looked at the list and even felt that he should pay more attention to the Quanzhou Navy. After they gathered another group of craftsmen, he could send people to grab it again!

But Liu Pei feels very satisfied now! These craftsmen are assigned to the shipyard and can build at least four more warships every year. When they train more apprentices, the shipyard's production capacity can increase again. In other words

By the way, Liu Pei will have to spend more money!

Thinking of this, Liu Pei frowned and signed an order to send someone back. The order required Fang Degang to build a new shipyard in Ryukyu. This shipyard was larger than the shipyard in Jiaozhou. When the shipyard was established,

There will be a group of people from Jiaozhou who join Ryukyu.

Shipyard. It will become Liu Pei’s main shipyard for shipbuilding.

After sending away this order, Liu Pei began to seriously consider how to deal with the current pirates. Liu Pei did not want to build a loose alliance like Li Dan. He wanted to prove to the existing pirates that he was a powerful pirate leader, so

There is an opportunity to integrate them.

Many of those pirates must be real scum. Liu Pei does not intend to take these people under his command. However, there are quite a few skilled sailors among them, and these people are very coveted by Liu Pei. If these pirates can be recruited, remove them.

Use military law to restrain the scum among them and train them into a real navy. Then Liu Pei will truly dominate the entire sea!

But Liu Pei also knew that this was difficult! Because these pirates roamed the sea, were unruly and difficult to be restrained. As a tycoon at sea, Li Dan only managed to form a loose alliance with them. There was no real unification of the sea.

.

But Liu Pei wants to give it a try. Because he has three bases in Shandong, Ryukyu and Taiwan, which can continuously provide him with troops and supplies. He also has a shipyard in Jiaozhou Bay, which provides him with several ships every year.

Battleships. These are the foundation for his desire to unify the sea.

Thinking of this, Liu Pei issued another order to the Intelligence Bureau for processing. He asked them to convey a set of news to the pirates, that is, in twenty days, Liu Pei will hold a pirate conference in Penghu. Liu Pei welcomes all pirates to this gathering.

Liu Pei will be responsible for ensuring supplies and safety during the conference.

Liu Pei is going to take a good look at this conference to see who can be included and who needs to be eliminated.

After issuing the order, Liu Pei no longer worried and joined the development work in Taiwan. It must be said that with the participation of several traitors like Tai Bacha and others, the work of integrating the indigenous people went quite smoothly. There are even unruly tribes.

Don't be afraid if you show up. As long as there is a small-scale conflict, they will show their submission.

Under the crazy attacks of the newly formed indigenous coalition forces and foreign corps, many Shengfan tribes were defeated, and the remaining people were taken out of the mountains. They were shackled and responsible for heavy labor work. They filled in the ponds
