    After breakfast, Zhao Hao¡¯s squadron is about to set off to join Tamsui¡¯s large force.

    Mei Nan went to the pier to say goodbye. Perhaps because Lin Feng had just left, she seemed particularly sad.  "Are we going to separate now?"

    "The news came yesterday that the Japanese pirates in Tamsui have been wiped out. I have to go over there and see the situation 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 presented a hibiscus wreath to the envoy according to the Ryukyu Shinto ritual.

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

    Mr. Zhao was as dumbfounded as a chicken.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

    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. When you see it, you know that fresh water has arrived.

    After the semaphores were exchanged, the patrolling clippers sent out a welcome signal and guided the fleet into the Tamsui River.

    The huge southbound fleet was neatly moored on a river more than a mile wide, so that it could use the fresh water from the Tamsui River to 'drown' the marine life parasitic on the bottom of the ship.  Wooden warships can only sail for three or four months at most before entering port for maintenance.  First, the hull sealing is not very good and water seepage is common, so it is necessary to refill the gaps in the deck with adhesive.  The second is the shipworms, barnacles and the like parasitic on the bottom of the ship. If they are not cleaned in the dry dock in time, the bottom of the ship will be riddled with holes. Over time, repairs will not be possible, and the ship's planks can only be replaced.

    But if you have the conditions like this, you can extend the endurance of the boat by taking a bath in fresh water frequently.  Coupled with the fact that the police officers perform serious maintenance in accordance with the regulations on weekdays, the warships of the coast guard fleet can even last for half a year before entering the port for maintenance.

    Of course, this is also related to Daming¡¯s unique watertight cabin design, which makes leakage no longer fatal.

    The Zhenwa was moored at the field dock. Jin Ke, Wang Rulong, and Ma Yinglong had been waiting on the temporary wooden trestle for a long time.

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

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

    "It's not hard work, it's not hard work." Zhao Hao smiled and returned the courtesy to the three people and asked: "How is it? Is it going well?"

    "It went very well." Wang Rulong pointed to the wide Tamsui River: "This is not a good military port like Chicken Coop. The wide river is unobstructed. Our warships drove in along the river mouth, and a burst of shelling blew up the Japanese pirates.  They were all in a hurry. Then they released a wave of marines to harvest, only injuring a few unlucky ones, and then wiped out all the Japanese pirates and rescued another 3,000 people."

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

    Ma Yinglong presented another statistics on the results of the battle. He thought that this was a newly opened sub-base of the Japanese pirates, and there wouldn't be much gain, but he didn't expect that it was similar to the one in Keelung.  It seems that the oil and water from the mainland are enough. No wonder the big leader of the Japanese pirates wants to move to Tamsui to take charge.

    "By the way, have you caught their leader?" Zhao Hao asked casually while looking at the list with satisfaction.

    "We caught it. That little Japanese guy's name was Kazuo Kawakami. He wanted to have a caesarean section but couldn't find anyone to correct him, so he didn't die." Jin Ke said with a smile.

    "Oh, you are very particular." Zhao Hao asked with a smile, "How was the trial?"

    "Everyone has been recruited. According to his confession, the people who want to deal with us behind the scenes are indeed Portuguese, and the person who specifically handled this matter is Wuyang Tongshang Guan." Jin Ke replied in a deep voice: "We also searched from his residence and found someone with Wuyang.  Letters sent to and from the trading embassy, ??and IOUs sent to them by the Portuguese.¡±

    "IOU?" Zhao Hao asked strangely: "Is there any balance outstanding?"

    "It's not money, it's guns." Jinke said with an excited smile: "Kawakami Kazuo said that Portugal promised to give them forty cast-iron snake cannons for building forts after the completion of the project. But it is said that the production capacity of the Bugalao Cannon Factory is tight.  , but in the end, they were only given twenty guns from the two forts in Keelung, and those in Tamsui still owe them."

    "Okay, sell artillery to the Japanese pirates!" Mr. Zhao held up his hands and said with a smile: "Portuguese friends who abide by the laws and regulations, be prepared to walk away with nothing to eat."

    ??~~

    After paying routine condolences to the wounded and having lunch with the officers and soldiers, Mr. Zhao hosted a meeting of high-level commanders in the afternoon and deployed the next phase of the battle plan to them - the fleet was divided into two groups, one led by Jin Ke, and one along the  Fight southward on the west coast of Taiwan to wipe out the pirates entrenched in Taiwan!

    The northwestern part of Taiwan is not affected by the Heishui ditch, is relatively easy to reach, and is not harassed by the government and the army. Many sea masters choose to build their nests here, and usually make waves on the coastal routes of Fujian and Guangdong.It's good here.  ¡°It¡¯s so nice here that it¡¯s connected in all directions.¡±

    "Yeah." Zhao Hao nodded slowly and asked with a smile: "But this is also a place where Ketagalan people gather. Can you handle it?"

    "Isn't that good?" Fatty Tang patted his chest and said, "I'm not bragging, Old Tang. I'm best at dealing with local gangsters. I'm sure I can coax the gang leader into calling him daddy."

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

    "Hey, it happened so many years ago, Young Master still remembers it." Tang Youde was flattered and said: "But there is really no difference between the leaders of these villages and the leaders of those silk societies."

    "Haha, okay." Zhao Hao smiled and nodded: "Where the management committee is placed, you are the chairman and you have the final say."

    ps. No more tonight.  I wish everyone a happy holiday and I will update it carefully.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
