At present, the ships built by Zhang Bao and others mainly rely on sails to provide power.
On this basis, a certain amount of manpower is assisted.
It is the process of rowing on the sea with long oars.
within this process.
Most of them still rely on the function of sails, especially when the current ships have reached such a large scale, the consumption of manpower is very huge.
But for now, the current situation is that when sailing on the sea, there are sea winds and ocean currents most of the time.
Even when there is no wind, this ocean current will always exist.
Therefore, there are not many aspects of actually using manpower.
As for Zhang Bao, he had thought about developing an engine before, but after trying many times, he gave up decisively.
Even if you know the principle, you can't make it without a suitable lathe.
You can only rely on this simple natural power for a while.
And if the current natural power is used, then for them now, there are many unexplainable uncontrollables in this process.
But there is currently no way to change Zhang Bao.
If you continue to add weight to this ship, it will be extremely detrimental to the stability of the ship.
"Sir, there is news about the Japanese in Dongzhou."
While Zhang Bao was watching on the boat, one of Fang Fu's men stepped forward and said to Zhang Bao.
"Let's go down and talk."
Zhang Bao led the man down.
Recently, since Zhang Bao and the others spread the news that Zhou Mu Fang Fu was killed, it has indeed caused some sensation in Dongzhou.
After all, when Fang Fu became the Dongzhou State Shepherd, it was quite rough. Many people were stepped on by Fang Fu in this process.
Moreover, Fang Fu was considered to be airborne at that time. Once he came up, he dealt with many local aristocratic families and wealthy businessmen in Dongzhou.
For these wealthy businessmen, some were relatively close to Cao Kang before.
Some of them had contact with the Japanese who came to Dongzhou at that time.
In fact, for these wealthy businessmen, in this process, they don't care about Japanese people or Daxia people.
Over the years, Dongzhou was not like Liaozhou, which had been invaded by barbarians from the grasslands. There was no hatred towards the Japanese.
Therefore, during this process, all of them are thinking about how to make money and how to do business.
They were very dissatisfied with the fact that Zhang Bao cut off their financial path at that time.
But it was precisely because Fang Fu was killed now that they began to make moves again.
The reason behind this is really not their own idea.
If they were to be suppressed like this by Fang Fu, it would probably be difficult for them to do it on their own.
But once there was instigation from the Japanese behind this, they started.
When the Japanese and others learned that the Zhou Mu of Dongzhou had been killed, they seemed to become unscrupulous.
Zhang Bao has arranged many people in advance to release water during this process.
Let them land smoothly and then move around Dongzhou.
They also successfully contacted the wealthy businessmen and aristocratic families in Dongzhou who they had contacted before.
"I see."
"Tell the people in the state pastoral office and the rebellion plan will be implemented immediately."
After listening to the man's words, Zhang Bao nodded.
For Zhang Bao, since he wanted to lure the wolf into the house, he might as well make the entire Dongzhou area more chaotic and let those who were not very satisfied with them before appear on their own.
In this case, it may be possible for them to be completely exposed. Otherwise, if these people are not discovered, they will remain in the dark. Maybe they will cause stumbling blocks behind their backs, and the harm caused will be even greater.
Zhang Bao's idea is to use this external show of weakness and chaos to let those inside and outside know, come on, Dongzhou is already in chaos, come and take advantage of the chaos.
At this time, Zhang Bao had a lot of time to fish.
And this rebellion plan was just Zhang Bao's bait to lure them out.
In the entire Dongzhou, the Zheng family was not actually such a dominant family.
Although the Zheng family's business power in Dongzhou is also one of the best, they are definitely not as monopolistic as they are now.
After Zhang Bao won Dongzhou forcefully, he supported the Zheng family very well, which is why the Zheng family has a monopoly position in Dongzhou now.
Moreover, after Zhang Bao and the others came to Dongzhou, they were not asked to pay money and then have certain autonomy of their own like the previous Zhou Mu.
Zhang Bao has the same ownership rights as them, and coupled with the influence of business, they still have very strong opinions towards Zhang Bao and Fang Fu.
When Fang Fu was here before, they naturally did not dare to openly compete with the Zheng family. They also knew that the Zheng family had Zhang Bao's backing.
And now if Fang Fu is killed, they can take the opportunity to compete for some business power.
Even if Zhang Bao comes back to settle accounts with them later, this is a commercial force after all. For them, it still has no influence and is an interest that can be fought for.
As for the Japanese, at present, the conditions provided to them are very good.
Moreover, there are better opportunities for development in the future, which can be fully utilized with the current Dongzhou, and we can achieve a better position than before.
Maybe, if the Japanese really support them in Dongzhou, then it is possible for them to reach the same status as the Zheng family.
Zhang Bao's rebellion plan is to direct and stage a rebellion himself, so that the doubtful people who are still watching can make their choice.
If they actively participate in these rebellions, their people can be selectively eliminated.
Zhang Bao is not worried about Dongzhou's population problem. With the advantages of such resources, it can be developed at any time.
Currently, Fang Fu is hiding his identity in the Prefectural Mufu and making arrangements in the process.
Although people do not have to show up, they can still make adjustments during this process.
Fang Fu himself is very familiar with the current Dongzhou. He knows where and on whom there may be movements, and can make corresponding arrangements.
It is precisely for this reason that Zhang Bao and his friends have already opened their fishing nets, waiting for the Japanese to fall into their own traps.
