Chapter 443: The Second Dongfan
Guo Zhiyuan patted Sun Zhiyong on the shoulder and laughed: "Zhiyong, hard work!" But be prepared to continue the hard work, and I am prepared to let you stay and stay in the Dehe Islands for a long time......"
"Huh?!" Sun Zhiyong was dumbfounded when he heard this, scratched his head and said: "My lord, it doesn't matter if I work hard, it's just that my ability is limited, and it won't be good if I miss the adult's big thing!" ……”
Guo Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Zhiyong, don't be arrogant, you have a calm personality and have the ability to stand alone, this time you did a good job of helping me stay behind!" ……”
Seeing that Sun Zhiyong was still embarrassed, Guo Zhiyuan continued: "Don't worry, I have already sent a letter to Dongfan, asking Mr. Zeng to bring the students who graduated from Dongfan Academy and some grassroots scribes to Dehe Islands to join you, Li Dan will also solve the supply and material problems in the early stage of construction for you, in addition, I have also transferred some skilled craftsmen from Dongfan to come over, I hope you can build Dehe Islands into a second Dongfan!" ……”
"You don't need to worry too much about civil affairs issues, just leave it to Mr. Zeng and them to deal with, the main focus is still on the military, I want you to train a cavalry that can confront the Houjin cavalry head-on for me within three years!" I will leave some of the veterans of the New Army who participated in the battle against the Houjin Cavalry this time, lead the new with the old, adhere to the fine traditions of our New Army, and help them establish the faith of the New Army, which should soon be able to form combat effectiveness! ……”
"In addition to the formation and training of cavalry, you must always pay attention to the dynamics of the rear of the Houjin to collect the intelligence of the Houjin army, I give you the right to be flexible and changeable, if necessary, you can lead the army to land, harass the rear of the Houjin, one is to train the troops, the second can continue to collect the Ming army and the refugees of Liaodong, the third can contain the Houjin troops, so that they do not dare to attack my Ming realm, I pass on your sixteen-character policy, the enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed in me to disturb, the enemy is tired and I fight, the enemy retreats and I chase, as long as you follow this sixteen-character phalanx and Houjin to fight guerrilla warfare, there should be no big problem, And Houjin doesn't have a sailor, and he's not good at naval warfare, you have the Dehe Islands to make the rear bigger, you should be at ease! ……”
Sun Zhiyong was somewhat disappointed that he failed to follow Guo Zhiyuan into the rear of the Houjin Army this time to copy the back road of the Houjin Army, especially when Li Guozhu came back, he deliberately got embarrassed in front of him, and talked about the bloody scene when he took the cavalry of the New Army to sweep the rear of the Houjin Army and the bloody scene of the battle with the 10,000 Houjin cavalry led by Mang Gurtai, although Sun Zhiyong did not feel resentment because of this, but regret is certain, but he did not expect Guo Zhiyuan to trust him so much, let him stay and train the new cavalry independently, and also granted him the right to be flexible and changeable, can land at any time to harass the rear of the Jin army, this is a big surprise!
Thinking of this, Sun Zhiyong gave a military salute to Guo Zhiyuan cleanly, and said excitedly: "The subordinates will live up to the trust of the adults, and they must train a cavalry unit that will make the Houjin people fearful!" ……”
After leaving part of the Zixin Army to stay in Sun Zhiyong's camp and continue to collect the Ming army's rout and Liaodong refugees, Guo Zhiyuan and Sun Zhiyong took the rest of the Zixin Army and the plundered Houjin population to the Dehe Islands, but Guo Zhiyuan did not leave immediately, but stayed to preside over the preparatory work in the early stage, it is not easy to build the Dehe Islands into a second Dongfan, and now Guo Zhiyuan is not like Xu Guangqi when he first arrived in Dongfan, and he needs to personally inquire about a thousand things. Even Guo Zhiyuan, who has experience in preparing for the establishment of Dongfan, feels a little powerless.
Dongfan can develop so fast because the early planning is done well, so Guo Zhiyuan has to take the people from Dongfan to rush to the Dehe Islands to meet him before the preliminary planning is done well, and the general shelf is set up, so that Zeng Qisheng and the Dehe Islands can enter a period of rapid construction after they come, and he can't copy the Dongfan model, the early planning must be adapted to the local conditions, so during this time, Guo Zhiyuan has traveled almost every corner of the Dehe Islands, and also asked the Korean aborigines on the island carefully. Learn more about the climate, crops and other conditions of this place.
Guo Zhiyuan's positioning of the Dehe Islands is completely different from that of Dongfan, the development space of Dongfan is on the sea, so Guo Zhiyuan vigorously develops sea trade and builds shipyards, while the Dehe Islands are the base built by Guo Zhiyuan in the rear of Houjin, so the development space is actually on land, so Guo Zhiyuan has planned many horse farms on the Dehe Islands, and he wants to turn the Dehe Islands into his own horse breeding base, and continuously provide himself with high-quality war horses.
Of course, the first problem to be solved by the Dehoa Islands is to achieve self-sufficiency, so tuntian is a must, and North Korea belongs to the temperate East Asian monsoon climate, sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, sorghum and other high-yield crops can be planted, and it should not be a big problem to achieve self-sufficiency after the early preparation period.
At the same time, Guo Zhiyuan also planned a number of salt drying fields on the Dehe Islands, and North Korea also had a great demand for refined salt, and Guo Zhiyuan could exchange refined salt for grain, war horses and other materials from them, so that there was no need for long-term blood transfusion in Dongfan.
Three months later, Zeng Qisheng and they finally arrived at the Dehe Islands by boat, Guo Zhiyuan also breathed a sigh of relief, with Zeng Qisheng and them, his pressure was much less, and Zeng Qisheng was called alone for a long talk for a few hours, and explained his planning and development route to the Dehe Islands to Zeng Qisheng, and Guo Zhiyuan could basically let go.
There is also Zhang Cheng who came with Zeng Qisheng, the reason why Zhang Cheng was called Guo Zhiyuan did not tell Sun Zhiyong that he was ready to let Zhang Cheng stay in the Dehe Islands and build an intelligence network in the rear of the Houjin, the reason why the Houjin can always seize the opportunity in the battle with the Ming army has a lot to do with their attention to intelligence work, the secret spy network of the Houjin has long been deep in the Ming Dynasty, compared with the declining Ming Dynasty Jinyi Guard, these Houjin secret spies know how to hide themselves better, and many Ming Dynasty generals' servants have their development inside, Therefore, knowing the movements of the Ming army well, Guo Zhiyuan naturally had to take precautions and launch countermeasures.
Zhang Cheng brought two news to Guo Zhiyuan, one is the news that the Wanli Emperor gave him a wait, Guo Zhiyuan just smiled, and there was not much joy of the waiting, the Wanli Emperor gave him the title of the waiter is indicating that the Wanli Emperor is more jealous of him, Dongfan Hou, the Wanli Emperor is guarding him as the Monkey King who is making trouble in the Heavenly Palace!
But the second news that Zhang Cheng brought to Guo Zhiyuan made Guo Zhiyuan completely unable to sit still, and his cheap father Guo Zhengyu fell ill! And I'm so sick that I can't get out of bed anymore!
