In the past, the deserted beach was deserted, but now it is bustling.

Densely packed with natives crowded the docks, encircling the dilapidated man-made structure.

The only route left is the road to transport the grain.

A ragged man, carrying a heavy bag of rice, baring a mouthful of rotten teeth, grinned through the human wall. The people on both sides of the same costume clasped their hands together, and their mouths let out all kinds of strange cries of joy, and their wrinkled faces were full of smiles.

The camera pans across the pier to the foot of the hill behind the beach. A lot of stone stoves have been built here temporarily. No longer afraid of wasting calories, people moved the stones and timber from the ledge behind them to the bottom of the mountain.

Hiroshima Island is the largest island in the Nagayama archipelago, with abundant fresh water resources and lush vegetation. So when the stove is set up, the corresponding spring water is also ready.

Next, the natives were ready to use, and the luxurious large iron pot they received from the big ship was put on the stove. Then the water is boiled, the rice is washed, and the next moment, the mechanism of the hulled rice from Quang Nam is poured into a large iron pot.

Use a pot of water to pour a stack of paper, if it is to save water, then the paper in the middle will not be poured through. It looks like the paper is wet, but the core hasn't changed.

The essence of this experiment is: since you want to spend money, then you will make a foot at once, and picking at the rope will be bad at the critical moment.

This truth is naturally understood by the traversers, so high-end daily necessities, including large iron pots, were sent off the boat this time.

In the 17th century, the amphorae of the iron pot, which reached a diameter of one meter, were a strategic material that any power needed to pay attention to, because the metal craftsmanship contained in it was very high. Usually the price of pots with a diameter of more than half a meter will be rolled up.

Not to mention that the large iron pot of the traverser is an industrial product, the refined cast iron is free of impurities, the quality is high, and the bottom of the pot is heavy and durable.

Such a high-end cauldron that can wear home can easily be sold for more than 15 taels of silver in Tianjin Luoma Market. Once transported to places like Guanwai, Saibei, and Mobei, such a pot can be exchanged for a few good horses.

Therefore, this time, a certain force also invested in the layout of Dongjiang Town.

Of course, since the capital has been paid, it is necessary to consider the return. Then along with the arrival of the iron pot, there is also Zhao Tieguo.

Zhao Tieguo is a native of Jinzhou. After the whole family was killed by the old slaves, this gentleman fought against Jiannu under the command of Wenlong Marshal all the year round. Later, when the marshal died, Zhao Tieguo, as a member of the marshal's personal guard, blamed himself afterwards. In addition, Dongjiang Town was in a mess at that time, so he chose to leave Dongjiang Town and take a boat to cross the sea to Tianjiewei to have a bite to eat.

As a result, time turned, and a few years later, Zhao Tieguo, an old bachelor, once again appeared in front of the old and young masters in Dongjiang Town.

Today's Zhao Tieguo, his tall figure is stronger than at the beginning, and he looks a lot more vicious. Fortunately, in addition to his black beard being shaved clean, Zhao Tieguo's personality is still as bold and talkative as he was at the beginning. At this moment, he was unbuttoning his military coat, sitting on a big log, roasting the fire in the stove next to him, and talking about stand-up comedy in a colorful voice.

"That Shuo Tuo Department rushed all night, all night! Lao Tzu shot all night on the tower of the Santun camp, and look, his face was blackened! ”

patted his own black face, and saw that the old brothers around him were looking at him without blinking, Zhao Tieguo became more and more energetic: "Stubbornly guarding until the dawn of the morning, Lao Tzu's eyes were sharp, and seeing that Lord Belle was going to get on the horse and flee for his life, he hurriedly went to tell my battalion commander...... Will be the Lord. ”

"I thought that our masters were going to go out of the city to stop them, but who knew that the lord pinched his fingers, so he said, let him go, and the sons will follow."

"And guess what?"

Although the audience had seen the head of Shuoto who was circulated on the nine sides before, they knew that Shuoto was finally hanged; But today, Zhao Tieguo, who was fortunate enough to hear the live recording of this event, was equally nervous for the natives of the seventeenth century, who were desperately lacking in information dissemination and audio-visual entertainment.

So when he saw Zhao Tieguo selling Guanzi, no less than ten people immediately asked anxiously, "What's wrong?" What's going on? ”

"Haha, when Lao Tzu took the horsetail and chased after him, it was that Belle Ye, who was blocked by the family soldiers led by Cao Dashuai on the mountain road!"

“...... I only heard my handsome man break off and shouted: Oh, is the slave chief Shuotuo coming from the other side? All the family members listen to the order and take this fang with me! Speaking of the climax, Zhao Tieguo gestured: "The handsome family, is that an ordinary family?" Haha, haha...... When Lao Tzu led people up to a wall, Lord Belle finally made dumplings for our masters and lost their heads! ”

When Zhao Tieguo said this, he was already laughing breathlessly, patting his thighs, and staggering.

And the audience was already fascinated by the infection and laughed too. But what followed was a lot of outstretched thumbs and fists that were clenched hard: "Cao Dashuai is mighty!" ”

"The iron pot dude is a man! Brother admire! ”

"He is worthy of being a hero who went out of our Dongjiang Town! I want it! ”

"Iron pot, you have avenged your father and mother with your own hands!"

In the chaotic applause and even admiration, Zhao Tieguo completed the first task "organizationally" explained before getting off the ship: to spread Master Cao's martial arts to the old brothers in Guangludao.

Next, Zhao Tieguo began to complete the second task: to spread the message of immigration.

"Oh, this is called Tieting braised beef canned."

"Haven't seen a buffalo before? Have you ever eaten beef when you grew this big? Take it and pour it into the pot! ”

"Lao Tzu is now the deputy company commander...... It is a hundred households, and they actually receive 5 taels of silver in a month. ”

"What, Buckle? Ahh Don't look at how much silver Cao Dashuai's family has, there is a mountain of gold! ”

"Since I followed Cao Dashuai, all expenses should be covered, and Lao Tzu's monthly salary has not been touched!"

"Look at this woollen coat, look at the clothes here, look at this musket, look at this cowhide outfit!"

"Alas, Wenlong is good at everything, but he is poor! To kill the Tartars, you still have to have silver first! ”

"What, can you take care of it? What kind of nonsense is this, they are all brothers who have lived and died together, can I not take care of you in the iron pot? ”

"Let's go, turn around and go. Let's go to Tianjin to raise fat for a few days, brother, I have someone in Tianjin. The old lady and the girl are all brought, and the old brother will give you a space on the ship! ”

"Cao Dashuai's family has a big business, don't say that the whole family of the military family is in charge of eating and drinking, that is, the whole Dongjiang gang goes, and they can't eat him!"

"Don't worry, we are all fellow villagers, can we pit fellow villagers?"

In this way, on the beach, Zhao Tieguo, a group of Dongjiang "fellow villagers", naturally formed a "stove propaganda point" around them.

In the cold wind of winter, the steam tumbling above the big iron, the heat of the food in the bowl, accompanied by the fiery language of "Dongjiang villagers...... The natives of Hiroka Island, while eating heavily, also became enthusiastic and no longer numb.

——————————————————————————

At the same time, in the exclusive wooden house of the island owner Mao Chenglu, an important banquet that will determine the future is also underway.

Speaking of which, in the current environment, this table is not low-grade. On a long square table made of old wood, there is ginseng, deer legs, bear's paws, and tiger meat—everything North Koreans have, here.

In other words, snakes have snake paths, cats have cat paths. Dongjiang Town has always been unable to eat enough funds from the imperial court, so with the help of geographical advantages and border trade with the Koreans, it has become an important financial channel for the Dongjiang ministries to maintain.

However, this is also the way to die. Mao Wenlong has been fighting with the imperial court for a long time on the matter of privately engaging in border trade, and there are many disagreements in it. After Mao Wenlong's accident, the court was always silent, and the border trade incident was definitely one of the important reasons.

Of course, since it was a banquet, there were not only North Korean things on the table, but also all kinds of food brought by the cross-border people: canned meat, canned vegetables, and even bacon dishes made by the chef of Dengju Restaurant were also put on the table.

However, in the face of such a sumptuous feast of northern and southern cuisine, no one moved chopsticks at this moment. The participants all held their breath and listened to the main seat Zhang Zhongqi talking.

"Let me make it clear first: the Ming Dynasty has a few soldiers in the north, not a hundred, but eighty. The reason why my handsome family chooses you to be friends and brothers is because you are so strong and can come in handy...... It's just a simple respect for the heroic spirit that you have fought with Jiannu for many years. ”

After Zhang Zhongqi opened the sentence, he thought about it and added: "Well, this is righteousness, although my handsome family is rich and can swallow the world, but the righteousness of the country must be respected." ”

After saying this, Zhang Zhongqi picked up the wine bowl on the table, waved his hand and said: "Come, everyone, this wine is respectful to Mao Dashuai, as well as the countless heroes who went to Dongjiang Town, and drink this wine to the fullest." ”

The generals were also thrilled when they heard this. Thinking about his family's suffering and perseverance over the years, today he is actually recognized by his strong peers in the south, and he can't help but boil his blood and pick up the wine bowl one after another.

After a bowl of wine, the atmosphere is much better, and next, ugly and good things will be said.

"I'll unload a total of three hundred tons this time ... 600,000 catties... According to the old scale, it is 500,000 catties of grain. ”

"From now on, Hiroshima Island will be built as a naval military supply base, and the perennial military grain storage shall not be less than 500 tons. Later, barracks and cave warehouses for storing food and weapons will be built here. When the construction of the base is completed, a large number of grain materials will be transferred from Tianjin. ”

Even thousands of miles away from the old nest, the strength displayed by the crossing forces today has completely crushed a cadre of Dongjiang generals.

Therefore, when Zhang Zhongqi said these words, his tone was very formal, similar to the tone of the work explained by his superiors, and he did not ask for the opinions of Mao Chenglu and others at all.

After all, the two sides have now revealed their foundations to each other, and the stall on the traverser's side has been spread, so it is definitely not allowed for the natives to bargain on the general trend of the layout.

But fortunately, the natives are not going to bargain...... Such a powerful force wants to accumulate troops on Guangludao again, which is great news for the hungry Dongjiang people.

"I will sit in the area of Beijing and Tianjin all the year round, and here in Guangludao, I will leave a management and communication team to guide the work."

This is also the meaning of the question. If such a large investment is thrown here, someone must be sent to control it, and the generals have no objections.

"In general, in the next few years, you don't need to wait for a lot of fanfare to do anything. General Mao, you can rest assured that you will be immersed in military training, and all military supplies will be secretly supplied by Tianjin, so don't make a noise. ”

"Chenglu knows, knows!"

Mao Chenglu only nodded at this time. Don't worry about anything, someone pays for him to raise his own soldiers, is there anything better than this?

"As for the old and weak people in Dongjiang, they will all move away one after another in the future."

"My handsome family is from the north, and the brothers went to the south, which is to support the handsome, and the handsome likes it tightly, and it will be reused sooner or later!"

When Zhang Zhongqi said this, his face became cold and hard: "This one cannot be shirked!" ”

The generals of Dongjiang knew that this was digging everyone's corner. But the matter has come to this point, and they themselves can't afford to support so many family members, if they refuse to send food to the door to pull people, I am afraid that not only will they have to turn against the big guy, but those family members will also make trouble.

So after finally weighing the pros and cons, Mao Chenglu and the others slowly nodded.

After the key point was clarified, Zhang Zhongqi's face became clearer, and his words turned to comfort: "Everyone, don't worry, now that everyone has been included in the 'system', we still have to take a long-term view." With my handsome, the benefits will slowly be revealed in the future. ”

Stretching out a slap and five fingers, Zhang Zhongqi finally concluded: "Five years, let's bury our heads in the first five years." Five years later, two or three thousand tons to the south...... Well, the 10,000-material transport ship will also be built in batches, and the coastal logistics chain will be built. By that time...... Hum. ”

When Zhang Zhongqi said this, he turned his palm into a knife, took a moment on the old wooden table in front of him, and chopped it up from left to right: "At that time, the army will float to the sea and go north, and the capital, Shanhaiguan, and Jianzhou will ...... Further north, there are the Rakshasas, and to the east, the Koreans...... Let's take revenge one by one, one by one, revenge with hatred, revenge with grievances, and finally be happy with revenge! ”

After saying this, in the end, Zhang Zhongqi picked up the wine bowl again and asked with a smile: "Everyone, what do you think?" Can you conspire with my family? ”

"It's done! My lord, I and other brothers, this trip will go with the handsome man to fight this shop! ”

——————————————————————————

The northern rudder, based on Hirokashima, was established with the collision of several sake bowls.

And Zhang Zhongqi After arranging major events, they spent a few days in Guanglu Island. Finally, when all the prepared supplies were unloaded, the fleet loaded the indigenous immigrants on the spot, and then went straight across Lushun to the mouth of the Liao River.

Today's Lushun is the new commander-in-chief of Dongjiang Town, Huanglong, garrison. Because this person was an airborne official sent by the imperial court to replace Mao Wenlong, he was extremely unpopular with the Dongjiang generals.

In addition, between Huanglong and Dengzhou Sun Yuanhua, they also turned against each other because of Kong Youde and others' transfer of defense, and they were on the bullet seal. So this time I went to the Liao River and crossed the crowd, so I didn't plan to go to Lushun to visit Huanglong, after all, the melon field and Lixia, now that it is eventful, it is better to stay away from trouble.

However, as expected, when the fleet came to the mouth of the Liao River, it found that the sea near here was indeed frozen - in the cold winter of the Xiaoice River period, the Liao River was completely frozen.

As a result, some of the people who had been going to sea to deal with errands were now justified: the offshore waters were frozen and the fleet could not get close, so the brothers had to go home...... It's not that our army is incompetent, it's too cold!

On the way back, the fleet went to the sea off Tianjin, and put Zhang Zhongqi off the car first. After that, the fleet turned south and swayed, and only returned to Dengzhou after more than ten days.

In this way, the vigorous "Second Northward Anti-Tartar" action came to an end. The traverser's gaze quickly shifted after a brief shift to the north. Leave the mess of Daming and clean it up yourself.
