Chapter 359: Qu County Naval Base
Xu Fu was very shocked that Li Chen had assigned such an important task to himself. It is said that he stands at thirty, but Xu Fu is now fifty, and now he has finally climbed the high branch and hugged his thighs.
In the entire Xianyang City, there were not 10,000 but 8,000 monks like Xu Fu. Li Chen's big ship, that is how many people dream of going up.
"Lao Xu, work hard, if you can find the medicine that saves Your Majesty, you will have made a great contribution." Li Chen patted Xu Fu on the shoulder and encouraged.
"Generalissimo, don't worry, I, Xu Fu, will definitely go all out and die with all my might." Xu Fu said excitedly.
"Okay, you don't have to have too much psychological pressure. I am fortunate to have it, but I can't kill it, just do my best to obey the destiny of heaven. Li Chen said with relief.
Hearing Li Chen's words, Xu Fu was also moved in his heart. A person of Li Chen's status, since he has no shelf at all, and he does not use his identity to force himself, he comforts himself from the bottom of his heart.
"Generalissimo, don't say anything. I Xu Fu will sell it to you after a hundred catties, you let me go east, I don't go west, you let me beat the dog, I will never pick up the chicken. Xu Fu patted his chest and reassured.
"Your loyalty is in your heart, you go back and prepare, someone will inform you when you leave in the next few days." Li Chen said.
Xu Fu left, happily left, just like the second spring of life, he was surging and excited, he Xu Fu was getting old, since he was about to usher in his own highlight moment.
Three days later, the mighty army drove in the direction of Qu County, and Xu Fu also followed in this group. According to Li Chen's plan, the 3,000 artillery soldiers supporting the Kamakura shogunate would go to Fuso disguised as monks. Then Xu Fuku, with the help of the Kamakura Shogunate and the Muromachi Shogunate, would also begin to search for the treasure medicine for the First Emperor in Fuso. Xu Fu will first go to Qu County, and then take Mengfei's big ship to Fusang.
Since this large army is almost all new recruits, and basically some soldiers from some inland areas. Although some people also know how to be watery, their little water is limited to fishing in the river. In order to avoid the bumpy meat and vegetables of these soldiers as soon as they arrived at sea, Li Chen decided to send them to Qu County for intensive training first.
The sea is different from the land, the wind and waves on the sea are huge, and even the big ships of the Qin army are bumpy and undulating on the sea. Whether it was a musketeer or an artilleryman, fighting on a ship was a huge challenge for them.
Shooting a gun on land and shooting a gun on a ship are completely different things, and what is accurate on land is not necessarily the same on a bumpy ship.
The tentative time for the sea training of soldiers in Qu County is three months. It's February, which means that these soldiers will probably be able to go to sea in May. The three months were to allow these recruits to adapt to naval warfare, and on the other hand, to allow Fuso to fight within himself for a while. When they were both defeated, wouldn't Li Chen be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman when he sent troops.
"Han Xin, these soldiers will be handed over to you. I'm going to wait two months before I go to Qu County, and you have to train these soldiers these days. The sea is no better than the land, and only by making our soldiers more accustomed to the marine environment will this battle be easier to fight. At the gate of Xianyang City, Li Chen patted Han Xin's shoulder and encouraged.
Today's Xianyang is inseparable from Li Chen, and it is precisely because of this that Li Chen still handed over the responsibility of training soldiers to Han Xin, which also made Han Xin feel Li Chen's trust in him.
"The generalissimo can rest assured that Han Xin will definitely not live up to the marshal's trust." Han Xin swore a promise.
Since the last time he fell into Hu Hai's scheme, Han Xin led the Shenwu army out of the city, until Xianyang City fell and Fusu was crippled. Han Shin has always had a pimple in his heart, and even for a while, Han Shin has great doubts about himself. He once thought that Li Chen had mistaken him for believing him, and he Han Xin didn't have such a great ability.
And now, Li Chen once again handed over such a huge task to him, which made Han Xin's heart moved. Han Xin secretly decided in his heart that he couldn't live up to Li Chen's trust this time. It was Li Chen who promoted him from an ordinary small citizen to the deputy commander of the Shenwu Army. He Han Xin this time, he must prove himself.
Li Chen sent the army to Xianyang City thirty miles away, and then stood in place and quietly watched the army rush in the direction of Qu County. It wasn't until the entire army disappeared from his field of vision that Li Chen turned his horse's head and rushed in the direction of Xianyang.
Qu County, port.
Li Chen's letter had been transmitted to Qu County half a month ago, and as Li Chen's representative in Qu County, he was also the chief officer of the Maritime Safety Administration under Li Chen. Du Bishu has already gathered tens of thousands of people and began to build a naval training base for Li Chen on the beach a kilometer away from the port.
On the beach a kilometer away from the port, Du Bishu pulled up a team of 20,000 or 30,000 people. Among these people are the aborigines of Qu County, and there are also Qin people who come to Qu County to make a living, but more of them are migrant workers from the Samhan area.
Thanks to the increasing prosperity of the port of Qu County, Daqin's shipping industry is also booming. Caravans are now used almost every month to and from Samhan, and these caravans are not only doing the sound of goods, but also doing business with people. As a result, over the years, there have been more and more migrant workers from Samhan.
Compared with the impoverished Sanhan region, Daqin is undoubtedly a heavenly existence for the people of Sanhan. Even if you work as a coolie in Qu County, you can earn far more silver every year than you do in Samhan. Therefore, in addition to some middle-aged and elderly people in the Samhan area, many young people prefer to come to Daqin for development.
"When I work, I have to be careful, we are building a military base, and the slightest error cannot be used. While ensuring the quality, you also have to guarantee the speed for me, and I must complete it before the army comes to Qu County. The official in charge of supervising the work of the Qin people said solemnly.
"Don't worry, my lord, it's not a day or two for us to work in the port. I worked here when the port was a small wharf, and I made sure that I would be able to build it as strong as the port. A leader of the workers of Daqin promised.
"Don't worry, my lord, we are all very obedient. Although the craftsmanship is poor, he will definitely not be lazy when he does his work. The head of the workers in Samhan also said.
"Well, you just have to know what to expect. If the big event of the Hou Ye is delayed, we will not be able to eat and walk around at that time. The Great Qin official admonished.
After the meeting, tens of thousands of laborers began to get busy in an orderly manner. First, they cut down coconut trees by the sea and cleared a large open space. Then start planning out barracks, warehouses, and so on on in the open space.
