Chapter 112: Sweeping
The people in the capital were talking about the affairs of Nanyang, but Chen Wenhui had already begun to prepare for the use of troops on Mindanao. She consulted the Four Cities. Tongrencheng's own city has not yet been built, and there is no human, material and financial resources to invest in the new city for the time being. I had to give up. Both Hei Jia and Chen Wenlin said they wanted to participate. So, Chen Wenhui organized a coalition army, with half of Chen Wenlin's Tianshui City's escort army, half of the Heijia Puning City's escort army, and also transferred a part of the Black Iron Army from Yizhou Island, as well as half of Wenhui's Qingchun City's escort army, and the three armies were led by Chen Wenlin.
Chen Wenlin's coach and deputy coach are two people, one is Tang Guangqi and the other is Jian Da. Chan Man-wai is in charge of logistical support materials.
After the swearing-in meeting, Chen Wenlin was dressed in military uniform and led the army to take a boat away, Chen Wenhui helped Mei Ying, who was already teary-eyed, and was still looking at their distant sails. Chen Wenhui said: "Second sister-in-law, you don't have to worry. My second brother is not an ordinary gentleman, he has also been trained in the clan land. Fought with all the barbarians. The natives are thin and small, where can they be the match for our battle-hardened, strong-armoured, sharply-armed guards? ”
Mei Ying thought about it, but the concern in her heart was still very strong. Chen Wenhui clapped his hands and said: "Okay, let's not worry about it here, let's do something meaningful, they are fighting in front, we must not only do a good job of logistics, but also be ready, once they clean up a place, we must immediately send manpower and material resources to build a city." As long as we have a strong city, their safety can be more guaranteed. ”
Mei Ying also cheered up when she heard this. walked down the dock hand in hand with Chen Wenhui, returned to their own cities, and began to prepare for the construction of the new city.
Qingchun City has also done a lot of work. Now, there are many new immigrants in Qingchun City. These newcomers arrived too late, and the land they could buy around was already in their hands, so they had to work in the workshops or farms. Actually, the life of a part-time job is also good. Qingchun City has a good climate, good welfare, and no money is required for medical treatment. Children don't need money to go to school. They just have to work every year. You can rent a house and buy food to eat. The food in Qingchun City is much cheaper than that of Da Chu. Because Nanyang was originally a grain producing area, Qingchun City's own grain production is very large, and it is also next to the grain base Tongren City. So. The supply of this food is not only abundant, but also cheap. So. Although the new immigrants did not get their own land, they also felt that their lives were much better than in Dachu. Of course, if it can be like those of the older generation of immigrants. How good it would be to have the opportunity to open up the wasteland and have your own land in the future.
Now, the city lord's office has suddenly put up a notice to tell the newcomers that a new city is going to be built in Mindanao. The City Lord's Mansion is recruiting people to go to the new city. These people are treated the same as the old immigrants who preceded them. When you go, you can build a new city while opening up the wasteland, the land is very cheap, and the medicinal materials and trees that are cultivated are specially purchased.
Now the new immigrants in the city are boiling. The old immigrants are also very excited. However, they have all experienced the hardships of pioneering, they have no houses to live in, they can only live in tents, and they cut down trees in the sweltering forest every day, and many of them have become old immigrants with families, and many of them have given up this opportunity. The new immigrants are originally the people at the bottom of Dachu, where are they afraid of hardship? They all signed up to go. In this way, soon, Qingchun City gathered 100,000 new immigrants to go to Xincheng.
Officials in Qingchun City have been busy lately. We must register these 100,000 people, form them in formations, and arrange tents for them to eat and drink. By the time all these preparations were almost made, it was already early summer. Counting the days, Chen Wenlin's army has been gone for two or three months. The good news came one after another, and they had cleared most of the tribes in Mindanao.
This is actually normal, most of the natives of those tribes live a primitive life, and the weapons are basically sticks, poisoned arrows and the like. However, Chen Wenlin's army is different, first, there are many people, second, they are all strong martial arts sergeants, third, after several years of struggle with the natives of Luzon, they have already seen blood, and they can be regarded as veterans, and fourth, the equipment of these armies is the best, that is, the equipment of the Northwest Army of Dachu cannot compare with them. After all, equipment is something that burns money, but what is the Xiao Chen family? It's just that there is a lot of money, so if a lot of money is spent, can the exquisite craftsmanship of the black family be poor? Can these sergeants with elite weapons win against the natives with sticks?
Of course, the natives are not without the ability to fight back, although they are not good in numbers or weapons, but they are native, familiar with the terrain, and can play a huge role in the rainforest. In Chen Wenhui's previous life, the army of a certain country with a strong army dominated the world, and it was defeated by a small Nanyang country in the tropical rainforest.
Chen Wenhui learned that lesson and made full preparations for this. First, make full use of the black army that is good at fighting in the rainforest, they are also natives of the South Seas, and they are very familiar with this kind of rainforest warfare. Second, the Chen family's armies already had a lot of experience fighting the natives in the rainforests of Luzon, so they made surprisingly smooth progress against the natives in Mindanao.
In the face of such a result, Chen Wenhui did not feel that his army was invincible. It can be said that if these elite soldiers and strong generals of their own are dragged to the northwest battlefield, they will definitely have no return, but they are indeed invincible on the Nanyang battlefield.
Chen Wenhui received such a battle report and discussed with the people of the Hei family and his second sister-in-law, Mei Yingyi, and felt that the time had come to establish a new city. They had already chosen the site of the city in advance, and now the army had cleared most of the obstructive forces, and all that remained was to build the new city with manpower and material resources.
Chen Wenhui gave a mobilization order, and Qingchun City immediately moved, these officials have already experienced the work of building a new city, and they are very experienced, and they are more orderly than when they built Qingchun City, and new immigrants have begun. Boatloads of supplies were transported to the new city, boatloads of people were transported to the localities, and immediately officials began to distribute dry rations, tents and other supplies. Because the distance was very close, these people did not rest, and began to devote themselves to the construction of the new city immediately.
According to the knowledge of land reclamation that they had learned in Qingchun City before, some of them began to build city walls to make money, and some began to hire Japanese slaves to go to the wasteland together, and Chen Wenhui was going to go immediately. was persuaded by his subordinates. After all, she is a girl's family, how can she go to that difficult place to sleep in a tent, if she can go, she must wait until the dock is built to dock boats, and the houses in the city can at least have the first small yard to live in.
Chen Wenhui had no choice but to agree. Now she is pampered, and she is not used to living that kind of hard life. Now her daily life is taken care of by the four new big girls. These four big maids are all fifteen years old, they are all handsome guests, and they are all the sons of the Xiao Chen family, and their loyalty is very reliable. The ability is also very strong, and it has been cultivated by the Bai family for several years. Chen Wenhui was most afraid of names, so she asked them to continue to use the names given to them by the Bai family. Because it was the name given by the Bai family, Chen Wenhui initially thought that it was color and animals, such as the purple jade and green frost before, and the red carp later.
But Bai's current name hobby has changed, and the four big maids for Chen Wenhui are water lotus, water red, water cold, and water willow. The four big girls for Mei Ying are cinnamon, plum incense, orchid incense, and chrysanthemum incense. The four big maidens for the good spirits are the golden ring, the golden bi, the golden hairpin, and the golden jade. They are all the sons of Xiao Chen's family, and they have all gone through five or six years, or even seven or eight years of training. Super capable.
The four around Chen Wenhui are especially top-notch. Chen Wenhui arranged their own errands for them. Some manage clothes, some manage ledgers, warehouses. Some manage the affairs of the outside world, and some are responsible for arranging Chen Wenhui's itinerary. Anyway, each performs its own duties, and it can be regarded as orderly.
There is also an interesting thing in this, the four big maids and golden rings that the Bai family gave to the good spirits are very capable, and they fell in love with Wan Meizhen at once. Wan Meizhen is also short of people around now, so she asked these four big girls to come over and use them herself. But then there is no use for the good spirits. Fortunately, Shanling is still young, and there is Zheng's mother around to take care of him, as well as his own wet nurse and others, and there is no shortage of people, but after the Bai family heard about it, he still felt sorry for his grandson and granddaughter, so he sent four people from the new, and divided them into two for Shanling and two for Shanren.
Chen Wenhui's four maids, she thinks the names are okay, and the people's abilities are better. As soon as she came, Chen Wenhui liberated the previous Yujin. Arrange for Yujin to go to Qiu Bi and the others to help them, and take the newcomers with them. In this way, the new maid has been very familiar with taking care of Chen Wenhui for about half a month, and she is doing better than Yujin and others before.
Yujin and the other four people no longer manage the trivial matters around Chen Wenhui, and wholeheartedly take over the class of Qiu Bi and others, Qiu Bi and the other four people Chen Wenhui has already told them that they will be sent to build the new city Vermilion Bird City, among them, Qiu Bi is the most important and will be the deputy city lord. This is Gao Sheng, Qiu Bi and others are teaching Yujin and others more and more attentively. In this way, after half a month, the handover was clear. Originally, Yujin and others have been helping Qiu Bi and others in urban management and construction. Now it's naturally quicker to get started.
Now Yujin has become the director of the financial secretary, Xia He and Xia Yu are the deputy directors, and the director of the education and medicine department has been replaced by Yudai. Qiu Bi became the deputy city lord of Vermilion Bird City, Lu Ya was the director of the Finance Department, Baguio was still the deputy director, Cui Qiao was still the director of the Education and Medicine Department, and Wu Cheng was the director of the Engineering Department. The rest of the officials, big and small, were all promoted from Qingchun City.
These people are all experienced and loyal to Chen Wenhui, so as soon as they arrive in the new city, the work is very smooth, and the construction of Vermilion Bird City is changing with each passing day. (To be continued......)
