Chapter 50 Prepare for a rainy day
But the happy days of marriage are always over, and Yu Xiaotian always has a string, so that he can't completely feel at ease even during the wedding.
So as soon as the marriage was over, he began to arrange a few things. Although the holiday was about to come, he still asked Blackhead to lead two boats and a team of soldiers to go to sea to the east of Nanri Island and go straight to Taiwan Island, so that he could lead people to explore the north of Taiwan Island. The terrain of the department and the local situation.
At the same time, Yu Xiaotian chose a painter from the island, gave him a short training, taught him some things about drawing maps, and asked him to follow the blackhead to go to Taiwan Island. According to what he saw, he drew some maps and nautical charts, and specially instructed this guy to draw the coastal terrain clearly. If you do a good job, you will get a lot of rewards when you come back.
There are many titles in the history of Taiwan Island. A long time ago, Taiwan Island was basically called Liuqiu or Ryukyu. In the early Ming Dynasty, it was also called Dongben. When some sea ships passed through the Taiwan Strait, they took the mountains in northern Taiwan as a marker to identify the direction. Because it was like a chicken cage, it was called a chicken cage. This is also the reason why Taiwan Keelung got its name later.
In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, some people called Taiwan a big bay, a big member and a Taiwanese member, but after the Wanli period, because Taiwan Island's "terrainform is like a bow and the floating sea is like a platform", it gradually began to unify the name of Taiwan Island and call it Taiwan.
After Yu Xiaotian arrived here, he gradually figured out these things. The name Taiwan has become well known to the world, so he no longer thought about anything and directly called it Taiwan Island.
Hearing that Yu Xiaotian was suddenly going to send so many people to Taiwan Island to explore the terrain, the leaders inside the sea wolf immediately felt that Yu Xiaotian had a new idea.
Smart people immediately felt that Yu Xiaotian was on Taiwan Island and seemed to be interested in wanting to run Taiwan Island in the future, so some people agreed and some opposed it. In short, opinions could not be unified.
Those in favor have a slightly more distant vision and feel that Yu Xiaotian is paving the way for the future of the sea wolf in the future, which should not be a bad thing.
Opponents think that Taiwan Island is a little far from the land, and it is full of miasma, mosquitoes raging, and there are also indigenous people on the island, which is not a good place for personal treatment. At present, they occupy such a good place as Nanri Island, and they can't run so far. Even if they turn against the government in the government in the future, there are more islands on the sea. At worst, they will change places, so it will be more convenient for them to do things.
For his decision, Yu Xiaotian insisted on his opinion, and in order to unify the ideas of his subordinates, he took a day to draw a sketch of the coast of Fujian and Taiwan with lime on a black board, and gathered his subordinates to the council hall.
Yu Xiaotian strictly ordered the people attending the meeting to treat the meeting as confidential. Without permission, they must not leak the content of the meeting and temporarily rot the matter they discussed in their stomachs.
Yu Xiaotian expressed his worries about the future in public, although many people think that Nanri Island is a good place, and now they are also doing well, which Yu Xiaotian doesn't think is appropriate.
The most critical reason is that although Nanri Island is good, it is too close to the land, and it is still under the jurisdiction of Daming in name. It is only because the government's neglect of management that this is now.
In the past, the reason why the government used to use soldiers for shark gangs is that in fact, the court would not sit back and watch its jurisdiction become an enclave. This time, the red-haired people occupied Penghu Lake, and the court intended to expel it, and did not hesitate to send Nanjuyi to Fujian. In fact, the expulsion of the red-haired people has already been explained. The idea of the court.
Just because so far, their sea wolf has maintained a delicate balance with the local government for the time being, so they are still at peace for the time being, but what about in the future?
When the court runs out of soldiers against the red-haired people, once it wins, it may expand its self-confidence, and some people will make trouble and demand the withdrawal of Nanri Island.
In this way, unless they have the strength to fight against the surging officers and soldiers, Nanri Island will not be a place to stay for a long time.
Therefore, Yu Xiaotian thought that instead of waiting until that time and having to leave, it would be better to prepare for a rainy day and find a more suitable place to settle down.
looking at the coastal area of Fujian and Guangdong, although there are countless islands, there are not many islands that are really suitable for them. If it is too big, it will attract the imperial government to suppress it. If it is too small, the pattern is too small for them to develop their strength.
The situation on Taiwan Island is different. Although it is adjacent to the mainland, it has not been included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty. If the sea wolf can gain a foothold on Taiwan Island, then Taiwan Island has enough space for them to develop. In addition, Taiwan Island has very large timber resources and fertile land. In addition, There are countless wild animals, such as deer skin, which are all very good goods.
So Taiwan Island is a quite good choice. As long as they can gain a foothold there, the space for them to move will become very large in the future.
Yu Xiaotian did not say the future of the future of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty has become a rotten building by now. It will not take long for the Ming Dynasty to collapse in the domestic and diplomatic difficulties, and the Tarot will enter the Central Plains. Only he, a traveler, knows this matter, even if he says it. I'm afraid no one will believe it.
In a word, Yu Xiaotian analyzed the benefits of their sea wolves occupying Taiwan Island from various angles and clarified their current situation. Finally, he threw down the small wooden stick in his hand and said to his subordinates: "Guys! We should look a little further. Although the miasma on Taiwan Island is rampant with mosquitoes, once we stand on, the benefits will not be as great as you can imagine! So whether you are happy or against it, I'm going to make an arbitrary decision on this matter. Although I don't plan to move to Taiwan immediately, this early preparation is inevitable!
Blackhead, I'll leave this matter to you. I hope you can help me with it. Remember, I don't need you to go there now to grab the territory for me this time. As long as you ask me about the situation in the northern part of Taiwan Island, it's a great success. Whether we will go there or not, we will talk about it when you come back! "
After listening to Yu Xiaotian's long speech, the leaders who did it were also silent. Yu Xiaotian has made his words very clear, and the advantages and disadvantages have been made clear. Thinking about it carefully, they also feel that Yu Xiaotian's words are very reasonable, especially following Yu People who have been filial piety for a long time think that Yu Xiaotian should not be wrong. If Yu Xiaotian hadn't always liked to make long-term plans, they would not have grown to such a degree now.
So after listening to Yu Xiaotian's words, most of them changed their attitude and felt that they should support Yu Xiaotian's decision. Only a few people still felt that Yu Xiaotian was a little alarmist. It was too unrealistic to do so.
And the blackhead belongs to Yu Xiaotian's iron cronies. Yu Xiaotian's words are the imperial edict for him. The king of Heaven did not keep his word. Since Yu Xiaotian let him go, he will not fart even if he can't spend the festival at home. It doesn't matter. He took the order, and then ordered from the barracks. The team immediately went to sea in two boats and sailed to the east.
