Chapter 74 Shipyard (please read more! Please recommend tickets!)
After the establishment of the Protectorate, the Luzon Islands began restorative construction under the instructions of Zheng Kezang.
The first to go into production was the cane sugar factory.
Originally Zheng Kezang wanted to open a cement factory, because the skills of making cement had already been engraved in his head, and it was very easy to open a cement factory.
You must know that the manufacture of cement is not difficult, and Luzon Island also has sufficient resources, such as coal, iron ore, and limestone.
However, Zheng Kezang's control over Luzon Island is not strong enough, and he is afraid that the formula will leak out.
But it doesn't matter, Luzon Island is very close to Yizhou Island, and the raw materials from Luzon Island can be directly transported to Yizhou Island.
This is safer.
Zheng Kezang once exchanged 5 Brilliant Points for the distribution map of iron mines in Asia, and he clearly knows the location of a large number of iron mines in Luzon Island.
For example, the Bike area in Luzon has iron ore reserves of 1.4 million tons, and the Domak iron ore deposit in the North Camaren area in the central east has 1000 million tons of iron ore resources.
These two iron mines have been controlled by the guards. As for who will dig the mines, of course they are the native slaves.
There may be some inhumanity, but this is a debt they should pay, Zheng Kezang comforted himself in this way.
Developed without cost, countless iron ore piled up into mountains, which made Zheng Kezang refreshed.
With these iron ores, Zheng Kezang finally did not need to import them from English merchants and Japanese merchants at high prices.
As a result, Mingzheng's fleet began to operate at full capacity, transporting food, spices, fruits, and mineral resources from Luzon to Dongning Prefecture continuously.
The report of the Luzon War happened to be sent along with these trophies. Presumably his father Zheng Jing and father-in-law Chen Yonghua must be very happy.
In addition to these resources, the Cavite Shipyard should have gained the most from the Luzon Campaign.
Cavite is at the southeastern end of Manila Bay, only 16 kilometers away from Manila, and is an important military base.
The Cavite shipyard was built by the Spanish in the second half of the sixteenth century.
It can be said that it is currently the largest shipyard in East Asia, not even one of them.
The Guards' offensive was too fast, and the Cavite shipyard was completely taken down by Zheng Kezang, with almost no loss or damage.
This shipyard has more than 1000 craftsmen, many of whom are skilled and experienced Chinese craftsmen.
It has the ability to build four-tier sailing battleships and repair three-tier sailing battleships.
There was a bit of confusion when the Guards entered the shipyard.
When the guards with the sun and moon flag appeared outside the Cavite shipyard, there were endless cheers in the shipyard.
The Chinese craftsmen, who had been oppressed in the past, spontaneously responded to the offensive of the Guards.
The overseer and the red-haired shipbuilder who had been dominant in the shipyard for a long time were tied up and brought before the guards.
Fortunately, the guards had received Zheng Kezang's instructions and did not kill these Spanish boatmen.
"I can't think of this old man, but I can still see my mighty master of Ming Dynasty in this life!"
A gray-haired craftsman said to Qin Zhiguo who was stationed in the shipyard.
"Old man, I am a soldier of the Guards under King Yanping of the Ming Dynasty. You have suffered." Qin Zhiguo enthusiastically pulled the old craftsman back.
The old Chinese craftsmen in these shipyards had a very difficult life in the first half of their lives.
They left their hometowns, far away from their homeland, and they had to endure the heat of Southeast Asia and the oppression of the Spanish colonists.
Fortunately, they are all craftsmen, no matter which era or country they are in, they are more kind to craftsmen.
Even the frenzied Spaniards know not to kill craftsmen.
Although the Spaniards bullied and squeezed them, the wages they received were enough for them to survive in Luzon.
Many of these old craftsmen have experienced several brutal massacres organized by Spain.
They had seen the brutality of Spain, and only then did they know the importance of the mother country of Ming Dynasty.
Without the strong Ming Dynasty as their backer, the status of these exiled Chinese people in Manila is not even comparable to that of the natives!
In my lifetime, I can see the Guards set foot on this land, see the Ming Dynasty lower the sun and moon flag, see the Guards conquer the Spanish army and the natives, and avenge them.
These old craftsmen are full of excitement and excitement.
"Old man, with our guards here, no one will dare to bully you in the future."
"Besides, His Highness Jian Guo attaches great importance to craftsmen. A powerful shipbuilder like you can rival the status of a scholar." Qin Zhiguo said cheerfully.
"Da Ming is mighty!"
These little old men who have experienced great changes in history cheered happily. This is the happiest moment they have lived in Luzon.
Qin Zhiguo didn't bother them, looking at these happy old men, he admired Zheng Kezang even more.
If there hadn't been for Jian Guo to overcome all opinions and send troops to Luzon to protect these precarious Luzon Chinese, he would not dare to imagine what is happening in this land every moment.
As a soldier, he is also happy at this time.
Because the moment he discovered that protecting his own people was his glorious moment as a soldier.
"Little General, has the Central Plains been recovered?"
A middle-aged craftsman asked expectantly.
Hearing this question, Qin Zhiguo was neither silent nor unhappy, but only had expectations for the future.
"The Central Plains, we will regain it soon. Even the barbarians from Spain are no match for our Guards. They are mere Tartars, so why not be afraid." Qin Zhiguo said optimistically.
"Little general, I trust you guys." The old man turned his head and smiled.
"Little General, we help the Guards build ships, and we will build the best ships." The middle-aged craftsman is from southern Fujian, and his accent makes Qin Zhiguo feel very friendly.
"Thank you, we will eventually regain our homeland, long live Jian Guo! Long live Ming Dynasty!" Qin Zhiguo shouted loudly.
"Long live the prison!"
"Long live Daming!"
These craftsmen don't know what Jian Guo represents, but they all read it along with Qin Zhiguo.
It doesn't matter if you don't know, at the celebration banquet of the shipyard, Qin Zhiguo grandly introduced Zheng Kezang to these old craftsmen.
The artisans were amazed by both his record and all kinds of miracles.
No wonder the Guards were able to defeat the brutal Spaniards. It turned out to be a wise and mighty supervisor.
"Little general, it's boring not to drink on such a happy day tonight." The little old man's surname is Cao.
"Old Man Cao, our Guards have regulations that we can only drink when we are resting and taking a bath." Qin Zhiguo shook his head and said.
Of course, he doesn't like drinking, because he can't drink others, it may be due to physical reasons, and he fell down after a few drinks.
"Jian Guo said that drinking alcohol will affect our combat effectiveness. We should drink less at ordinary times. We will replace the bar with tea." Qin Zhiguo picked up the teacup.
"The Guards have so many rules." Old Man Cao complained.
"Yes, the most important rule we have is not to harass the common people!" Qin Zhiguo said proudly.
