Fish Creek, later Kamchatka Peninsula.

In the small fish stream, large boats are parked.

Because there were so many ships going to the Golden Continent this time, and Fish Creek was not a large river, many ships could not be moored in at all.

You can only choose to moor at the mouth of the fish creek and use the fresh water at the mouth of the sea to maintain the boat.

If you are a ship that travels on the ocean for a long time, there will be a lot of marine life attached to the bottom of the boat.

Therefore, every time a ship arrives at a port, it will maintain the ship as much as possible, and a very important part of it is to remove marine attachments from the bottom of the ship.

There are two main ways to remove them, one is to use a shovel or the like to remove these marine attachments, and then repaint them for maintenance.

Another simple and effective way to do this is to moor the boat in fresh water.

There is no way for marine organisms to survive in fresh water, so whenever they arrive at a resting port or something, they will choose to anchor in the bay of the river and the mouth of the sea as much as possible to eliminate the marine attachment at the bottom of the boat.

"Haha, finally came to Fish Creek again~"

"Some of the wooden tents we left here last time are still there."

Coming to Yuxi again, Tian Erniu, Zhao Monkey, Silly Bear and their mood was quite good, and they came to Yuxi again after more than a year.

The scene of the last time I arrived here is constantly recalled in my mind, vividly, and very clearly.

Tian Erniu took a closer look, and the fish stream at this time was very beautiful.

In the distance, the snow-capped mountains are as mysterious as virgins, full of dense grass, all kinds of flowers, herds of deer, and eagles soaring in the sky......

There is no trace of human atmosphere, it is all natural beauty, and the beauty is suffocating and shocking.

Soon, they came to the place where they had last rested here in Fish Creek.

You can still find some traces of the original camping.

"Where's the fish in Fish Creek?"

"Where did they go?"

Soon after, some people were surprised to find that there were no fish in the fish stream.

According to the navigation diary of Du Mingen and others, this fish stream was full of fish, so it was called fish stream at that time.

But now, all this is completely different from the legend.

Immediately, everyone panicked, especially those trading houses that were going to come to Yuxi to mine gold.

According to the nautical diary of Du Mingen and others, the gold mine here is very rich, and there is a river full of golden sand.

There are no fish in this fish stream, could it be that this gold mine is also made up to deceive people?

Everyone's minds couldn't help but think of this, and then they panicked.

You know, these companies have invested heavily in obtaining mining rights to the Fish Creek Gold Mine.

First of all, it is necessary to pay a one-time mining fee of one million taels of silver to the Ming court, so as to obtain the gold mining rights of Yuxi, and secondly, the gold mine mined, the Ming Dynasty accounted for 2 percent, the Ming court accounted for 2 percent, and the crew members who discovered these gold mines accounted for 2 percent, and their mining firms only accounted for 4 percent.

It can be said that for these trading houses that have obtained mining rights, their investment is very large, and the funds required to organize manpower, equipment, and ships to come to Yuxi are also very huge.

Now that there are no fish in this fish stream, will there be no gold in this river?

The person in charge of a commercial bank hurriedly found Tian Erniu and wanted to ask about the situation.

"Captain Tian, isn't this fish stream full of fish?"

"Why didn't we find any fish in Fish Creek?"

Zhang Fu found Tian Erniu in a little anxious and asked.

He is a member of the side branch of the British Gong Zhang Mao family, and this time he also came to take charge of the gold mining here in Yuxi.

"It must be because of the season~"

"The last time we came to Yuxi, it was almost September, and it was autumn, and when we arrived here, everyone needed to wear cotton clothes."

"It's only June, and we don't need to wear cotton clothes, so it's a full three months apart."

Tian Erniu is actually very strange why the fish in this fish stream are missing.

When he was here in the Qianhekou of the Golden Continent, he also communicated with the descendants of the local Yin merchants, and a large number of fish appeared in the river every year in the Qianhekou.

Therefore, Tian Erniu also speculated that this should be related to the season.

"That's good, that's good~"

"There shouldn't be any problems with the golden sands in this river, but if there is a problem with this gold mine, my little life will be gone." Read good books

Zhang Fu breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and then hurriedly said.

"There will definitely be no problem, there are no people here, and no one will take your gold mine at all."

"If you follow this route and climb over this mountain, you should be able to see the river full of golden sand."

Tian Erniu smiled and said, and then hurriedly pointed out the location of the gold mine.

He also has a share in this gold mine, although his shares are very small, very few, and every crew member who went to the Golden Continent has a share, but no matter how little meat there is, it is also meat.

What's more, this is still a gold mine, and after a year of mining, you will definitely be able to get a lot of silver by then.

"Good, good~"

As soon as Zhang Fu heard this, he immediately sent someone to investigate and confirm the matter of the gold mine.

After dealing with Zhang Fu, Tian Erniu also began to get busy.

The fleet is going to rest here for two days.

Others can rest and play to their heart's content, but he can't.

Because he also has on his shoulders the responsibility of building a transit station and clothing.

Before he had time to take a breath, Tian Erniu's side began to organize people to conduct a comprehensive exploration of the surrounding area, preparing to find a suitable location to build a colonial stronghold.

"The dimension here is too high, and the winter is very cold~"

"Last year, when we arrived, it was only September, but it was already cold and we had to wear padded jackets."

"When I come again, Childe has already explained, so we must fully take this into account."

"So it's best for us to base ourselves on the leeward slope of this hill."

"This place is the most ideal place, it is very close to the Yuxi Bay area, the whole is a horseshoe shape, surrounded by mountains on three sides, only the south side has an exit, and it is the most suitable for building a colonial stronghold."

Soon, Tian Erniu chose a location and decided to choose the colonial stronghold here.

"This location is really good, in terms of house construction, it is better to use the form of floor heating, the walls of the house should be thick, and the design of warmth should be carried out."

"As long as you have enough wood or coal, you can survive even in the winter."

Zhao Monkey nodded in agreement.

"Well, let's go down, hurry up, and while everyone is here now, we will all work hard, work together, work hard, and strive to build a few docks here in the Bay Area in these two days."

"The two sides are to pave the cement road and lay the foundation, and when our fleet leaves here, the rest can be built slowly."

Tian Erniu nodded and immediately started to get busy.

Here in Yuxi Hewan, there is no need for Tian Erniu's orders, everyone is already busy.

Set up a camp, build a camp, start cooking with a fire, start loading and unloading goods...... Tens of thousands of people are starting to get busy.

Buckets and buckets of cement were carried down from the boats, and loads of river sand were dug out of the fish stream, and the cement and river sand were mixed together and constantly stirred, and the simple wharf began to be built.

In the selected colonial stronghold, everyone began to dig the foundation with shovels, shovels, etc.; Not far from the forest, a team of lumberjacks began to come here to cut wood, and wood is absolutely an indispensable building material.

Before the 1,000 Japanese who had arrived here with the fleet had time to take a breath and enjoy the scenery of Xiayu Creek, an order came from above.

These widows were very hard-working, and under the leadership of their respective foremen, they received tasks one by one and began to be constantly busy.

The entire Fish Creek soon turned into a busy construction site.

The fleet is well prepared, and the materials that thousands of big ships can carry are very huge, and all kinds of materials are very well prepared, plus there is the artifact of cement and tens of thousands of manpower.

In just one day, the Fish Creek has undergone tremendous changes.

A simple wharf has been built here in Yuxi River Bay, and when ships are moored, loading and unloading goods has become more convenient and simple; At the same time, a concrete floor was also paved next to the wharf, which was specially used to stack various materials.

At the mouth of Fish Creek, a lighthouse is under construction.

The lighthouse is definitely an indispensable thing, and as long as there are people here in Yuxi in the future, there will inevitably be bright lights on the lighthouse at night to show people the way.

From the river bay wharf, a brand new concrete road stretches straight to the place chosen by the colonial stronghold, and the cement on the cement road is not completely dry, but it feels completely different.

This is no longer an uninhabited wild place, and from now on this is a place that belongs to the Ming Dynasty.

In the place where the colony was built, a large amount of foundations have been excavated, and the area around the base has been fenced with trees, and although there are no people here, there are bears here, so safety needs to be considered.

At the main entrance of the stronghold, there was also a vacant lot, paved with cement, and a tall wooden root was erected, on which the dragon flag of the Ming Dynasty began to flutter, declaring the sovereignty of the Ming Dynasty here.

At the same time, under the flagpole, on a stone tablet poured with cement, you can clearly see that several big characters are engraved on it, Daming Fish Creek!

Next to the big characters, there is a line of small characters, which reads that the Ming Dynasty was established in June of the thirteenth year of Hongzhi.
