Chapter 154: The Grand Blueprint (Thank you OKOK, Lin Shao and other book friends for their monthly passes)
In the mornings of Jiaozhou Bay, it used to be very quiet.
But since this morning, the silence has been shattered.
In the morning, the wind seemed to increase a little, and the waves in Jiaozhou Bay continued to surge.
The waves kept rolling, stirring up circles of ripples, and they continued to ripple and disappear on the shore.
A large flock of seagulls, flying from afar, constantly circling and flying on the surface of the sea, as if to get close to the shore, but not daring to approach the large fleet.
Only one or two of the most daring, mischievous ones, stayed for a moment on the masts of these rambling ships, and then flew away in a hurry.
"Cool! Such a huge naval base will be the East China Sea Fleet of our Royal Navy of the Ming Empire in the future! ”
Zhong Jixiang looked at the water in the distance, and his heart was refreshed.
On a whim before, whether or not he asked the emperor for orders to form a navy, he still had some confusion in his heart.
Where would you have imagined that now it has only been more than two months, and the East China Sea Fleet, which was built by himself, has developed to such a point!
Not only do there are 90,000 soldiers and three full-fledged divisions, but now there is an almost unparalleled naval base.
Just thinking about it makes people feel so excited that it's like a dream.
With a sigh of emotion, Zhong Jixiang, accompanied by several generals, walked into the front of Fushan, which had been completely controlled.
In later generations, this Fushan Qiansu has a well-known name: Qingdao.
The current Fushan front house is not too shabby.
After passing through the mottled city gate tower, I came to a school yard
As far as the eye could see, they were the captives of the Fushan Guards who were standing restlessly and looking terrified.
They lined up in a crooked line, bowing their heads slightly, and looking at the imperial general who had just arrived in the corner of their eyes.
Just what's going on?
Nima's!
These majestic soldiers of the army are all children under the age of sixteen.
Such a large army of tens of thousands of people, armed to the teeth, its commander is actually a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child?
Is this really the army of the imperial court?
At this moment, whether it is a thousand households or a hundred households, everyone is like a dream, and they begin to doubt life.
However, no matter what, the fierce and vicious appearance of these previous child soldiers is still vivid, and they just complained in their hearts, but they didn't dare to have the slightest disrespect.
These child soldiers really dare to kill and spare.
The guard was broken, and a few military households didn't want to lose their precious knives and guns, but they were killed on the spot by a few baby soldiers, who didn't say anything, with the kind of crossbow arrows that could be fired continuously.
The captives were secretly looking at Zhong Jixiang, and he was also looking at these somewhat stinking military families with interest.
I saw that the Qianhu who was the leader was wearing an old Qianhu official uniform, thin and thin, and it was relatively clean.
Looking at the hundred households behind him, it is very unseemly.
There is no official uniform, no, a tattered dress, two shoes are different, and there are several big holes in the back!
Such a hundred household officials, the official position is too much, and this is the coastal guard, the monks have more meat and less meat, and they are not qualified to make benefits, sometimes they can't even get Lu rice, and they look like the old peasants are as virtuous, and the erosion of this guard can be seen.
Looking at the military households behind them, they looked like beggars, dirty, and even their clothes were in tatters.
Most of their clothes were barefoot, and they had no shoes to wear.
Not far away, some children didn't even have pants, and while snotting, they looked at this majestic big brother with curious and frightened eyes.
Zhong Jixiang didn't expect that these military households in Shandong Weishou were not as good as when they were orphans in Liaodong.
This, simply.
Previously, in the city of Dengzhou, there were not many homeless beggars, and he thought that this Shandong Peninsula was also a land with beautiful mountains and rivers, and the climate and environment were better than those of Liaodong, which was getting colder and colder.
I didn't expect it, and now it's a big disappointment.
The Fushan Institute was established during the Hongwu period, and none of the military households were locals, all of whom were transferred from different provinces.
The founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was very sensitive to rebellion and rebellion, and did not hesitate to kill for this.
As for the guard system, he insisted that only when the military households came from different places could they effectively prevent the gathering of people to rebel.
Because of his regulations, the military households of Fushan came from a total of eight different provinces, forming the most primitive eight tuns.
The farthest military households even came from Yunnan, and each tun came from different provinces, with different customs and habits, and different interests, so it was not so easy to rise up and rebel.
However, even so, Zhu Yuanzhang is not at ease.
He also ordered that in each tun, some miscellaneous households should be added.
The so-called miscellaneous households are not the same as most people in the hometown, for example, most of the military households are from Huguang, so the military households from Sichuan, Henan, and Yunnan have become miscellaneous households.
Zhu Yuanzhang's main purpose in setting up miscellaneous households is to monitor the movements of each tun and prevent people from gathering to make trouble.
Behind the scenes, these miscellaneous households are also called "two or five makeup."
"Nowadays, I am afraid that only in the direct jurisdiction of His Majesty the Emperor, the lives of these low-level people will really be like individuals."
Thinking of this, Zhong Jixiang was greatly touched.
A little boring, he waved his hand and called the two teams of soldiers.
One team is a female soldier, who is responsible for leading the logistics and distributing some clothing and daily necessities to these people.
Of course, a new set of clothes and food per person is a must.
The female soldiers then took the women and babies among them to the bath and change clothes.
The male soldiers took the men and boys who had received their clothes and supplies to the beach to clean up.
There is no way, in the rules of the Guards Scouts, personal hygiene is extremely important, and you can't see such dirty people and things.
This is also to reduce the occurrence of diseases and avoid causing catastrophes.
In this year, there is nothing more lethal to mankind than plagues and plagues.
Plagues cannot be avoided, they can only be stiffened, but plagues can be prevented and avoided as much as possible.
According to His Majesty the Emperor's wishes, this floating mountain front is to be completely demolished and rebuilt.
This is a complete reconstruction, not just a fight.
In the planning, first of all, the master craftsmen who came with the army selected the place where the super-large port was built, and first got out the preliminary planning map of the port.
It is also necessary to select a place for the construction of a super-large dock, at least to achieve the scale of today's Lushunkou.
Then there is the planning of a megacity.
This city, compared to today's capital, is a real big city
When these plans are done and discussed, the two places in Denglai basically fall under the control of the Royal Navy's East China Sea Fleet
At that time, there will be sufficient manpower and material resources to carry out the massive construction.
The Shandong Peninsula is a very rich province, and although those military households and ordinary people are very poor, it does not mean that Shandong is poor.
In any era, the wealth of a country is mostly concentrated in a very small number of sparing Zheng
It is about 5 percent of the upper class, but it accounts for 95 percent of the wealth.
Since ancient times, it has been the same.
At this time, the time has not yet reached noon, and Zhong Jixiang will naturally not let the soldiers idle.
As with the previous operation in Dengzhou City, he immediately divided the 40,000 naval officers and men into a brigade of 40,000 people, and quickly began the sweeping work in all directions.
The remaining logistics troops are responsible for dealing with the aftermath of the East China Sea Fleet.
The aftermath of these efforts is not easy.
With so many ships, they had to be moored and fastened one by one, the exposed materials had to be relocated and disposed of, and a large number of prisoners had to be screened and the Shandong branch of the Royal Construction Company had to be formed......
Zhong Jixiang personally led a brigade of 10,000 people and rushed towards the Acropolis of Aoshan.
The Acropolis of Naao Mountain is also an extremely important place.
Although it is not as good as this Jiaozhou Bay, it is also an extremely rare good port, and it is not a problem to build a large civil port.
In the plan of His Majesty the Emperor, Dagukou, Dengzhou City and Aoshan Acropolis after repair and expansion will be one of the civil port cities in the future.
The military ports are Port Arthur, Qingdao Port, Vladivostok Port, etc.
In Zhu Youxiao's marine model, military ports should be completely separated from civilian ports.
The army, whether navy or army, must not be stained with any impurities, and the purity of the ranks must be guaranteed.
Only such an army can win battles and continue to win battles.
The seven continents and four oceans are the grand blueprint of the Ming Empire.
The earth is big, but not an inch is superfluous!
