Chapter 614 Admiral Shi Lang

At the North Bay Wharf, Ouyang Shuo was seeing one person off.

This man was over middle age, and his appearance was very ordinary. If it wasn't for the general uniform he was wearing, he might have thought he was an ordinary farmer, honest and simple.

This general was none other than Shi Lang, the general summoned by Ouyang Shuo through the Emperor Summoning Talisman.

Shi Lang, courtesy name Zhuogong, was born in Jinjiang, Fujian Province. He was a famous general in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. He had successively held important positions such as deputy general of the Qing army, general soldier, and admiral of the Fujian Navy, and won the trust of Emperor Kangxi.

Shi Lang is good at running the army, especially in naval warfare. The troops under his command are known for their swiftness, bravery and decisiveness in combat, so he was nicknamed "Sea Thunderbolt" by his old friend.

The most brilliant deed in his life was leading the Qing army platform.

Shi Lang's attributes were also extremely dazzling, and it was a lucky moment for Ouyang Shuo to be able to serve as a general.

When it comes to Shi Lang, players may be unfamiliar.

On the other hand, Zheng Chenggong, another famous general who recovered Yizhou, was praised by future generations.

for what?

Just because Shi Lang changed his family three times, served in the Ming army twice, and surrendered to the Qing army twice, it will inevitably attract criticism from later generations. Its historical position has always been controversial.

Is it a "platform hero" or a "repeated villain"?

After Zheng Chenggong, an old general of the Ming Dynasty, recovered Yizhou from the Dutch, he took Yizhou as the last base for resisting the Qing Dynasty. The Qing army sent troops to attack Yizhou several times, but failed.

In the 22nd year of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, Shi Lang led 20,000 elite soldiers and 300 warships to the sea to pacify Yizhou. With this military exploit, Shi Lang was conferred the title of Marquis of Jinghai by Emperor Kangxi, hereditary succession, and reached the pinnacle of his official career.

From personal ability to achievements, Shi Langsi is worthy of the praise of the world. What is really controversial about him is his repeated life experiences in the Ming and Qing armies.

Shi Lang was born in the late Ming Dynasty. In his early years, he was Zheng Zhilong, that is, Zheng Chenggong's father's subordinate. Later, when the Qing soldiers went south, Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the enemy, and Shi Lang also surrendered to the Qing army.

The Qing army ordered Zheng Zhilong to surrender his son Zheng Chenggong, but Zheng Chenggong was ashamed of his father's behavior, broke with his father, and led his troops to continue fighting against the Qing Dynasty. Zheng Chenggong valued Shi Lang's ability to lead troops in war, and kept lobbying Shi Lang to invite him to join the Anti-Qing Rebel Army. After several considerations, Shi Lang decided to leave the Qing army and return to Zheng Chenggong's anti-Qing army.

Shi Lang has a straightforward personality and dares to speak out; Zheng Chenggong is also straightforward and has a violent personality. Therefore, it is inevitable that there will be conflicts and even conflicts between the two. At this time, Shi Lang was already dissatisfied with Zheng Chenggong because of "not rewarding great achievements", and Zheng Chenggong was also increasingly alienated from Shi Lang because of his arrogance and domineering.

Zheng Chenggong associated this contradiction with the speculation that Shi Lang was planning to rebel. In a rage, he ordered people to surround Shi Lang's house, and arrested Shi Lang, his father Shi Daxuan, and younger brother Shi Xian.

After Shi Lang was arrested, he was imprisoned on a ship. Some of his former subordinates and cronies sympathized with him and released him secretly.

After fleeing, Shi Lang went back to the inland and took refuge in Zheng Chenggong's uncle Zheng Zhibao, and asked Zheng Zhibao to mediate between the two. But the perseverant Zheng Chenggong didn't buy it, and secretly sent an assassin to assassinate Shi Lang, and he must be put to death before he could hurry.

Shi Lang was spared because someone reported the letter, but Zheng Chenggong, whose plan failed, became even more enraged, and even ordered Shi Lang's father and younger brother to be executed. At this point, Shi Lang and Zheng Chenggong formed a deep blood feud. He was desperate and bent on revenge, so he was forced to surrender to the Qing Dynasty again in the eighth year of Shunzhi.

Therefore, the so-called repetition is actually a last resort.

Shortly after recovering Yizhou, Shi Lang published a book entitled "Chen Yizhou's Abandoned Benefits and Disadvantages". Get a stable and prosperous Yizhou Island.

At the same time, he also urged Emperor Kangxi to abolish the "moving borders and banning the sea" order that had been in place for many years, and return the land to the people. Later, Emperor Kangxi adopted Shi Lang's suggestion, which saved tens of millions of people from migrating.

From this, it can be said that Shi Lang not only has the merit of "recovering" the platform, but also has the merit of "protecting" the platform.

...

Shi Lang was summoned and immediately appointed by Ouyang Shuo as Admiral of the Jiaozhou Fleet. At the same time, Ouyang Shuo also directly conferred the rank of Shi Lang's third-rank general [General Henghai].

It is an honor to be treated like this.

The appointment of Shi Lang as the Admiral of the Jiaozhou Fleet was naturally taken into account. Historically, Shi Lang was very familiar with Jiaozhou and Quanzhou waters, which would be of great help to Ouyang Shuo's future plans.

Shi Lang's task is to train the Jiaozhou Fleet into shape within half a year.

After obtaining the treasures of the North Sea Bay, Ouyang Shuo's ambitions also intensified. He was no longer satisfied with expanding the navy's three major fleets to full strength within a year, but only gave them half a year.

As for the Jiaozhou Fleet 1st Fleet Commander Firework Demon, this time he will accompany Ouyang Shuo on an ocean voyage. The first formation led by the pyrotechnic evildoer is currently stationed at Beihai Port.

Ouyang Shuo had his own considerations in choosing the firework monster as the general of his entourage. The several naval generals in the territory are basically offshore or even inland river generals, and there are almost no ocean-going generals.

Not to mention Shanhai City, even in the whole of China, it is difficult to find a navy general who is extremely good at ocean warfare.

This is why the territory needs to be cultivated by itself.

Compared with naval generals such as Cai Hao and Pei Donglai, as a player, the firework monster not only possesses terrifying talent, but also has a broad vision and insight that the ancients did not have. His growth potential is amazing and his plasticity is strong. Naturally, he is the best choice for future naval generals Suitable candidates.

...

After sending Shi Lang away, Ouyang Shuo began to prepare for the upcoming great voyage.

The "Chang'an Evening News" and other three local media have been forcibly disbanded by Gaia, causing an uproar in the wilderness. Ouyang Shuo no longer cared about the future fate of those people, and had his own people to take care of them.

The Four Seas Bank is on the right track again, so Ouyang Shuo doesn't need to worry about it. Meng Zhida was frustrated this time, and he must have taken this as a warning to carry out a drastic reform of the Four Seas Bank.

Territorial affairs are managed by four directors and county guards, and they are also in order.

The first thing Ouyang Shuo had to do was to distribute the millions of gold coins obtained from the North Sea treasure. The precious gems, jades and other treasures in the treasure are estimated to be worth more than 3.3 million.

Adding 3.885 million gold coins, the total exceeds 7 million.

Such a huge sum of money made all the directors and sheriffs covet it. Unfortunately, Ouyang Shuo's words completely cut off their thoughts.

"The fiscal budget of the territory has already been adjusted once, and there will be no second adjustment. The seven million gold coins obtained this time will be earmarked for their own use, and there are specific plans." Ouyang Shuo said clearly.

First of all, Ouyang Shuo will take out two million gold coins to support the expansion of the three major intelligence agencies of Shan Hai Wei, Black Snake Guard and Military Intelligence Department.

The role of intelligence is becoming more and more prominent.

Ouyang Shuo spared no expense to bet on the three major intelligence agencies again, hoping to get rich returns. With this capital injection, the responsibilities of the three major intelligence agencies will also be fine-tuned.

First, the scope of activities of Shanhaiwei will no longer be limited to the territory.

The two major intelligence agencies, Shanhaiwei and Black Snakewei, will cover the entire Chinese region. The difference is that Shanhaiwei focuses on aboriginal forces, while Black Snake Guard focuses on player forces.

The two do not interfere with each other and work together.

In addition, the two major intelligence agencies will extend their tentacles to the territory of the [Yanhuang League] this year.

Being beaten passively is not Ouyang Shuo's style.

Second, expand the overseas territory of intelligence agencies.

In addition to domestic intelligence affairs, the Black Snake Guard will spend three years in Gaia to expand international intelligence and collect intelligence information in advance for future national wars.

The primary target was An Nan who had just been tricked by Ouyang Shuo.

This alone highlights Ouyang Shuo's strong ambitions. After hearing this, Black Snake couldn't help but feel excited. As a former international mercenary, there is no doubt about Black Snake's international vision.

The Black Snake Guard will usher in another take-off.

To achieve the above two goals, two million gold coins is just the beginning.

Secondly, Ouyang Shuo specially allocated 500,000 gold coins to Honglu Temple. The first half of the year will be a year for the Honglu Temple under the leadership of Zhang Yi to show its strengths, and Ouyang Shuo will naturally give his full support.

Lobbying, alienation, no matter which one, you need real money.

Next, Ouyang Shuo turned his attention to the Southwest University Hall and the Army Lecture Hall.

In the final analysis, the two universities are the hematopoietic machines of the territory and the internal kinetic energy supporting the development of the territory. Not to mention other things, more than half of the civil servants and generals in the current territory alone benefit from the remaining two universities.

Although it is said that the school is a cultural holy place, it is vulgar to talk about money.

It is not.

Recruiting hundreds of lecturers, improving the facilities of the school, supporting tens of thousands of traveling scholars, supporting students like flowing water, etc., no matter which item is expensive.

The Jixia Academy in history relied on the financial support of the entire Qi State.

Therefore, Ouyang Shuo did not hesitate to spend another one million dollars, hoping that the territory would welcome the next explosion of talents, and hope that the two universities would truly become the highest universities in the southwest region, and even the entire China region.

"Accommodating talents from all over the world, being inclusive and inclusive, and swallowing thousands of miles with the momentum of accepting all rivers."

It was Ouyang Shuo's ambition.
