0888 Patrol (1)
When you get out of the pier, you can see two huge bastions, one on the left and one on the right, on both sides of the back of the pier. These two bastions are located right in the middle of the castle pool and the dock, which can not only block the enemy attacking from the dock, but also serve as the horns of the city, so that they can cover each other.
Outsiders can only see the exterior of the bastion, and have no idea the internal structure at all. Because their internal structure is also very complex, there are traps, secret passages and secret rooms everywhere, and the enemy will suffer heavy casualties even if they attack the inside of the fortress.
Liu Pei agreed to build the fortress here, and was not afraid of being learned by the Europeans. Because Liu Pei has heavy artillery in his hands, no castle can stop the bombardment of heavy artillery.
Not far behind the fortress is the real castle. The city is a traditional Chinese city. It has thick and high walls. However, at this time, only the construction of the inner city wall was completed. The outer city walls are under construction. Thousands of slaves were under the watchful eye of overseers firing masonry, transporting stones, and mixing cement. It is estimated that by this time next year, a huge city will rise from the ground.
Liu Pei led people into the outer city, listening to He Lianxiu's introduction as he walked. Although there is no outer city that has not been fully built, it has begun to take shape.
He Lianxiu has already made plans in the outer city. Where is the inn, where is the warehouse, where is the commercial area, the residential area is very standardized. And there is plenty of margin.
It's just that Liu Pei looked at the population in it and sighed a little. Because there are too few people wearing Han costumes inside. But Liu Pei is not in a hurry. Now Liu Pei is bringing in the population from within the Ming Dynasty every day. When the time comes, just send a few more boatloads of people.
When Liu Pei entered the inner city, he found that the inner city was much simpler. In fact, there were only a few buildings in the inner city: the governor's palace, barracks, warehouses and granaries. Moreover, the interior of the inner city is very tightly arranged, especially for war.
Listening to He Lianxiu's introduction, once there is a war here, when you lose the opponent, you can lead everyone to retreat to the city. If the outer city is not secured, you can retreat to the inner city. The walls of the inner city were taller and stronger than those of the outer city.
In particular, the food stored in the inner city is enough for everyone to eat for more than a year, and there is no fear of long-term siege
Sleepy. With a year's time, no matter what, Liu Pei's reinforcements also arrived.
Liu Pei walked through the entire city accompanied by He Lianxiu. After reading it, Liu Pei expressed great satisfaction with He Lianxiu's work. asked He Lianxiu many questions, and He Lianxiu also answered them one by one. The result made Liu Pei and his family satisfied!
He Lianxiu fully understood Liu Pei's intentions and formulated a long-term plan. Make sure that he is not in the position of governor, and that his successor will carry it out in a targeted manner. Hold on to the land here!
That night, Liu Pei went deep into the barracks and held a bonfire party with the soldiers. With the arrival of the marshal, the soldiers are very excited! They all showed their best skills. For a while, the camp was full of dragons and tigers, and the scene was very lively!
Liu Pei inspected Heping City for three days and learned a lot about the situation. He Wenxiu discussed a lot of issues with him and made a lot of demands. Liu Pei dealt with them one by one.
The biggest problem facing Peace City now is the problem of supply. Because it's so close to India. A lot of the goods were sold to India. And those princes in India have a strong spending power, and the demand for Ming Dynasty products is almost endless!
Especially these Indian princes are rich! In any case, as long as they extort civilians, they have endless wealth. Therefore, the flowers are used even more lavishly. When Liu Pei learned about this situation, he felt that things should not be difficult.
In the case of interests, those businessmen will flock to it even if the mountains are high and the sea is far away. What's more, now Liu Pei has set up a lot of supply points along the way. Those merchant ships could have come here to trade along the safe routes of the supply points. So as long as they go back to say hello to Liu Pei, some small businesses who are willing to fight for their lives will come by boat. At that time, the development of Peace City will be even faster.
Liu Pei inspected Heping City for three days and solved a lot of problems for He Lianxiu, and when he specially told He Lianxiu to do a good job in defense. Liu Pei didn't think that those Westerners would be willing to lose a colony as large as the East for nothing.
Moreover, Liu Pei was also worried that these Western colonists would collude with the local natives and unite to attack Heping City
。 This is not uncommon in history.
After Liu Pei understood the situation, he boarded the Black Eagle with a large number of records and embarked on the way back. Liu Pei's next stop is the Java region. There, Liu Pei will select several settlements for inspection.
On the way to Java, on the sea of the Java Islands, Liu Pei also encountered a patrol boat.
This is the policy set by Liu Pei. Because there are many islands in Southeast Asia, the only way to communicate between the various tribes in the region is by boat. The mechanism for establishing a patrol is to sink any native ships that can be found, cutting off communication between the islands. Let them fall into isolation, so that they can break through.
Liu Pei also went on board to comfort the soldiers. The soldiers were very excited to see Liu Pei coming! Of course, it is necessary to complain to Liu Pei about the bitterness. Only then did Liu Pei know that the navy has been at sea for a very long time, and the personnel are very tired.
Advertise, it's really good, it's worth pretending, after all, you can cache to read books and read aloud offline!
Because Southeast Asia is too big! The navy has to patrol, cover the convoy lines, and protect merchant ships. It is also necessary to collect taxes at sea, transport disaster victims, and transport all kinds of supplies. There are so many things! As a result, they rarely get time to rest. But fortunately, Liu Pei's logistics can keep up, and the salary is also rich, so everyone can still endure it.
After listening to the sailors' complaints, Liu Pei assured his naval brothers that Taiwan's shipyards were already building the first sea ships, and that the training camp would increase its efforts to recruit sailors. Therefore, as long as you hold on for another half year or so, the strength of the navy will be further expanded. It will be much easier for everyone then.
Liu Pei said goodbye to the soldiers patrolling the sea, and followed the map to find the mouth of the Tamsui River. In general, prostitution spots are arranged along the freshwater. On the one hand, sea vessels can directly trace the source of the freshwater river, which is convenient for transportation. On the other hand, with the river water, people's life and cultivation are very convenient.
However, Liu Pei's boat was too big to travel far in the Tamsui River. But it was enough to reach the first village of the Tamsui River. The first villages of this type of freshwater river are generally the place where sea boats and river boats are exchanged. So there are often sea vessels moored. Therefore, the villagers were not surprised by the arrival of the big boat.
