After breakfast, Zhao Hao's squadron also set out to meet with Tamsui's large army.

Mei Nan went to the dock to see her farewell. Perhaps because she had just left Lin Feng, she seemed particularly sad. "Are you going to separate?"

"The news came yesterday that the Japanese pirates in Tamsui had been eliminated. I want to go over and see what's going on there." Zhao Hao said with a smile: "When I come back, I will take Miss Mei to Jiangnan."

Mei Nan signaled Zhao Hao to bend down and present a Fusang flower crown to the divine envoy according to the ritual of the Ryukyu Shinto.

When the flower crown was gently worn on his head, Mei Nan suddenly whispered in Zhao Hao's ear: "Next time we go to heaven together, you won't be considered as taking advantage of others' danger..."

Mr. Zhao is as stupid as a chicken.

Oh oh oh oh …

The next day, Zhao Hao arrived in Tamsui with the squadron.

The Datun Mountain, which is composed of more than ten volcanic cones, is particularly conspicuous. You can tell that Tamsui has arrived when you see it.

After passing the flag words, the patrolling clutch sent a welcome signal and guided the fleet into the Tamsui River.

The huge southbound fleet is neatly moored on the river surface more than one mile wide, making it easy to use the freshwater of the Tamsui River to "drown" the marine creatures parasitized at the bottom of the ship. Wooden warships need to enter the port for maintenance after sailing for up to three or four months. First, the hull is not sealed and seepage is common, so adhesive must be filled with re-filled adhesive in the gaps on the deck. Second, the worms, barnacles and the like parasitized at the bottom of the ship. If they are not put into the dry dock in time to clean, the bottom of the ship will be ridden with holes. After a long time of repair, they cannot be repaired, so they can only replace the board.

Let me add that the novel app I am using recently, [app], supports Android and Apple phones!

However, if conditions apply like this, often driving the boat into freshwater and taking a bath can extend the battery life. In addition, the police officers usually follow the regulations and carefully maintain the warships of the Coast Guard Fleet can even last for half a year before entering the port for repair.

Of course, this is also related to the unique watertight tank design of the Ming Dynasty, which makes the leakage no longer fatal.

The Zhenwu roar is moored at the field wharf. Jinke, Wang Rulong and Ma Yinglong have been waiting for the temporary wooden pier for a long time.

"Thank you for your hard work, comrades." Mr. Zhao walked down the gangway with a spring breeze on his face and waved to the three generals under him.

The three of them were stunned, but Ma Yinglong reacted quickly and hurriedly saluted: "Thank you for your hard work, young master."

"No, no, no, no, no," Zhao Hao asked with a smile and said to the three of them, "How is it? Is it going well?"

"It went very smoothly." Wang Rulong pointed to the wide Danshui River: "This place is not as good as a military port like a chicken coop. The wide river surface is unobstructed. Our warships drove in along the estuary, and a bombardment broke the Japanese pirates. Then he released the Marines to harvest, which injured only a few unlucky guys, wiped out the Japanese pirates and rescued another 3,000 people."

"Very good!" Zhao Hao nodded, and he knew that they would not let him down.

Ma Yinglong presented another statistics on the results of the battle. He thought this was a newly opened sub-base for the Japanese pirates and would not have much gain, but he didn't expect it to be similar to Keelung. It seems that relying on the mainland's oil and water is enough. No wonder the Japanese pirates' leader had to move to Tamsui to take charge.

"By the way, have they caught their heads?" Zhao Hao asked nonsense while looking at the list with satisfaction.

"I caught it. The little Japanese name is Kazuo Kawakami. He wanted to have a caesarean section but didn't find anyone to sue, so he didn't die." Jin Ke smiled.

"Wow, it's very particular." Zhao Hao asked with a smile: "How is the review?"

"I've asked all of them. According to his confession, the Portuguese behind us was indeed the Portuguese, and the Wuyangtong Trading Hall was the one who handled this matter specifically." Jin Ke replied in a deep voice: "I also found letters from his residence that were in contact with the Wuyangtong Trading Hall, as well as IOUs that the Portuguese called them."

"IOU?" Zhao Hao asked curiously: "There is still a final payment not settled?"

"It's not money, it's a cannon." Jin Ke smiled excitedly and said, "Kao Kawakami said that after the matter was completed, Portugal promised to give them forty cast iron long snake cannons to be used to build turrets. But it is said that the production capacity of the Bugalao gun factory was tight, so they only gave them twenty of the two turrets from Keelung. The Tamsui side still owed them no more."

"Okay, sell artillery to Japanese pirates!" Mr. Zhao smiled and said, "Portuguese friends who abide by laws and regulations, are ready to take care of them if they can't eat."

After routinely condolences to the wounded and having lunch with the officers and soldiers, Mr. Zhao presided over a meeting of high-level commanders in the afternoon and deployed the next phase of the combat plan to them. The fleet divided into two groups, led by Jin Ke, and killed south along the west coast of Taiwan to clear out the pirates entrenched in Taiwan!

The northwestern Taiwan is not affected by the Black Ditch, which is relatively easy to reach, and there is no harassment from the official army. Many sea owners choose to build nests here, and usually make waves on the coastal routes of Fujian and Guangdong. When the situation is not good, they can come and hide from the limelight. If Mr. Zhao wants to manage Taiwan, they must first be removed.

The other route was led by Wang Rulong, and took the Danshui to Fuzhou route, clearing out the pirates entrenched on the coast of Fujian from north to south. In the past two years, the Jiangnan Shangjia Penghu Station, Yuegang Station, and Fuzhou Station have been collecting information about the sea owners along the coast of Fujian and Guangdong. Tang Paul will follow Wang Rulong's fleet to be responsible for intelligence guidance.

Obviously, the combat pressure on this journey is much greater, so the three new battleships and two-thirds of the medium-sized ships were all allocated to Wang Rulong's East Road Fleet. Jinke fought along the Taiwan coast, so it was naturally mainly small ships and speedboats. The Zhenwu and five medium-sized ships were incorporated into the West Road Fleet, first to prevent accidents, and second to use giant ships to intimidate the indigenous people, leaving them an invincible impression.

The last convergence point between the two sides is set in Qing'ao Bay on Nan'ao Island. If nothing unexpected happens, the West Road Fleet will arrive first, and if necessary, support Wang Rulong's East Road Fleet to combat.

The reason why the fleet divided its troops was proposed by Wang Rulong because of the slow movement of a large-scale fleet, it was not as flexible and maneuverable as the hosts of Fujian and Guangdong.

He believes that when weapons and equipment have generation differences and organizational commands have generation differences, the number of people and ships at sea wars are completely meaningless. This has been fully proven in previous battles of the Coast Guard Fleet.

Two years ago, the Portuguese defeated a huge fleet with a Carac sailboat. Two years ago, the same Portuguese sailboat was siege of up to 200 fleets in Malacca.

So when there are three new-style sailing ships, if you don’t have the confidence to divide the troops, you should just go back to Danluo Island and not come out to embarrass you.

After careful consideration, Zhao Hao agreed to Wang Rulong's slightly risky suggestion.

As for naval battles, it is a game for the brave. How can you do without a little adventure?

After deciding the next phase of the combat plan, Zhao Hao no longer interfered with the Coast Guard's actions. Compared to fighting pirates, he prefers to manage Taiwan Island.

The next day, Zhao Hao and Fatty Tang took a sailboat that requisitioned Ryukyu, flowed up the Tamsui River, and went deep into the inland to inspect the situation on both sides of the straits.

I saw the mountains and rivers on the Tamsui River, with plains and hills intersecting, and villages and arable land from time to time. It was the home of the Kedagranites. They lived a life of fishing, hunting and farming in villages and communities.

However, the villages I saw were abandoned and the land was deserted at this time, all thanks to the Japanese. In order to avoid the burning, killing and looting of Japanese pirates, the Kedagrans were forced to give up their homes and moved into the depths of the basin. This was the case for many villages and communities in the alliance that day.

"It's so convenient to have such a river!" When Tang Youde learned that the wide and abundant Tamsui River winds through the entire Taipei Basin, its tributary Keelung River arrives in Keelung, and its tributary Dahan Creek arrives in Taoyuan, closely linking most of the northern Taiwan, he couldn't help but exclaim.

"That's, this is the most important inland waterway in Taiwan." Zhao Hao nodded with a smile. Why did Tainan, the first to develop Qing Dynasty, finally settle in Taipei? This river with sailboats throughout the country has made great contributions. The rise of Banqiao, Xindian and Taipei City in the Monga era all depended on the help of the water transportation of Tamsui River.

The so-called Mengjia is the central part of the Taipei Basin, the part within the several-shaped bend of the Tamsui River. The land is fertile and well-connected. It is born to be the center of Northern Taiwan and the future Taipei City.

Zhao Hao's trip had a very important purpose, which was to inspect the Mengjia area to see if it was to develop the place in the order of central blasting and blooming on all sides, or to develop it honestly along the Tamsui River from the downstream.

The boat traveled forty miles to reach a Sancha River. Looking at the river that was turning sharply in front of him, Zhao Hao probably arrived.

Looking at the abandoned villages and farmlands densely packed in the bends, Zhao Hao thought to himself that no one seemed stupid, and everyone knew that this was a good place. In fact, in the language of the Kedagranites, "Mongga" means canoe. Since many years ago, it has been a place where villages and communities barter. When the Japanese pirates came, they would carry canoes here to trade on a specific market day.

The sailboat was docked at the sandbank in the middle of the river. The police transported the hot air balloon parts to the sandbank and quickly assembled them. After checking them thoroughly, they sent the young master and Mr. Tang to the sky.

After flying, I could see a lot of insight. I saw the tributary of the Sancha River to the southwest, passing through a long hilly valley and flowing into a wide plain. Obviously, it was Dahan Creek heading to Taoyuan.

Then this place will naturally be the location of Taipei City in the future.

"This is a Feng Shui treasure land. Young Master, I think that although the conditions in Tamsui are good, the land that can be reclaimed is limited. Why not just put the management committee here." Tang Youde's eyes were so vicious, and he also saw the goodness of this place. "It's so good to have all the connections here."

"Yeah." Zhao Hao nodded slowly and asked with a smile: "But this is also a place where Kaidagranites gather, can you do it?"

"Isn't that right?" Fatty Tang patted his chest and said, "It's not our old Tang. I'm the best at dealing with local snakes. I'm sure to coax those leaders into calling the young master dad."

"I don't care about you." Zhao Hao laughed and cursed: "But that's right, I saw your boss Tang's style when I went to the countryside to collect silk."

"Hehe, what happened many years ago, the young master still remembers it." Tang Youde was flattered and said: "But there is no difference between the heads of these villages and the heads of those silk clubs."

"Haha, okay." Zhao Hao nodded with a smile and said, "Where is the chairman, you have the final say."
Chapter completed!
