"Rizhao Chengzhou River fog open——"

"The gold digger girl is full of Ekuma-"

"Beauty Jewelry, Hou Wangyin——"

"It's all in the sand."

Reaching the top, looking at the thousands of blue waves that are old by the sea breeze, the middle-aged man can't help but be heroic and chant poetry.

A young man in his twenties is dressed in a short beat, but wearing leather boots that do not match the season, and from time to time pay attention to his own and the feet of the middle-aged man, if he is bitten by a grass poison snake here, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not lose his life, on the isolated island, even if he immediately goes to the sea and goes by boat, there are still a few hours away from Labuan Island.

The Dragon God Guard team composed of ten senators transferred by the Privy Council can be a hundred, not afraid of the native savages, but it cannot be said that it can make people invincible, but at this time there is no shortage of such disgusting things, the island is deserted, and it can be completely sanitized compared to the various towns that have begun to be built.

Although the volcano on this island has been silent for many years, and the part that is now exposed to the sea is not much higher than the usual hills, there are no existing roads, and it is still quite difficult to climb all the way to the top on foot.

The young man slightly helped the middle-aged man who was walking in front of him, and said with concern: "The teacher is chanting Liu Yuxi's "Waves and Sands"? ”

Wu Bailiu laughed and said, "You love to learn." ”

The young man said modestly: "It's just that it's strange why the teacher suddenly became poetic, and the student remembers this poem because he happens to remember the poet's words." ”

"I forgot, Liu Yuxi's words are also a dream." Wu Bailiu suddenly replied with a smile. "It's just a feeling."

Young people because of his wife's name is the word Mengde, and Liu Yuxi's table word is the same as the same word, by this karma, Liu Yuxi's masterpiece has a little impression, seeing that the teacher is not happy, but he sends love poems, so he asked again.

"Is it because the ore here is of good grade?"

Wu Bailiu said with a smile: "The grade is actually a little worse, but fortunately, it can be used, but it is ordinary glass, and it does not need quartz sand with good color." ”

To make glass, in addition to soda ash and limestone, the most jointed is quartz sand. When it comes to quartz sand, there is no corresponding mineral deposit record in the local area, and the current glass factory uses all the inventory in the warehouse. However, natural quartz ore still has to be found, and this heavy responsibility naturally falls on the hands of Wu Bailiu, a veteran who is quite authoritative in this regard, and there is a scene of Fang Cai. At this moment, the young man Wen Langxing who followed him all the way up the mountain was his student, Wen Langxing and his wife Zhang Mengde were both specific managers of the Department of Industry and Economics of the Ministry of Households, and both of them were rare talents in geological exploration.

Because Zhang Mengde was pregnant, she did not follow the expedition, but stayed in the glass factory in Jiabao City, where her expertise was needed, not to mention that she also took the initiative to use glass to produce luxury utensils and jewelry, so she was naturally more interested.

"Did you take your child's name?" Wu Bailiu asked with concern about the student's unborn children.

Wen Langxing said: "It's only been a month, why be in such a hurry." ”

"This is our first newborn here, so we should pay attention to it."

"How can this be the same as Mei Lao's words."

Wu Bailiu heard it and said, "Oh? That's what Pedant Mei said? ”

Wen Langxing didn't hide it, "I also gave it a name, called Weitong." ”

"Wen Weitong?" Wu Bailiu chewed on the meaning.

Wen Langxing explained: "It is said that Wei Zhi has a son to pay tribute, and he is through karma. ”

"The meaning is good, but my daughter's words are not so good, Mei Xue is too rigid in words, I heard that he also gave many elders table words."

"Well, he let me take it too." Wen Langxing hesitated slightly, but still said it.

"Let?" A let word, indicating a slight difference, was naturally asked by Wu Bailiu.

"Well, Mei Lao said that he wanted to help me get a table by the way, so I had an official atmosphere, I was busy with things at the time, so I made it up and said that I had already taken one."

"What did you take?"

"I thought that in the next six months, most of them would be stationed on the east coast, so I took Garbo as the watchword."

"Then Mei Xue didn't bother anymore?" Wu Bailiu still has a gloating expression, although Mei Casey has a high status among the elders, but he likes to talk about the ancients, which always makes people cry and laugh, and other times it is normal.

Wen Langxing said: "Mei Lao pondered for a while, and mentioned that Langxing should be Jiabao, which is very good, so he didn't say anything more." ”

The two of them walked together and walked down the mountain, where the boat had stopped in the direction where they were going.

It was precisely because there was no decent information that after some consideration, Wu Bailiu finally hit the idea on several volcanic islands along the coast. Quartz ore is mostly formed at the time of magmatic intrusion and evolutionary activities, due to the change of temperature and pressure, it is not too difficult to find such a place in the sea near Brunei, there is one ready-made, just north of Zhangjiagang, and now standing on the top of the three mountains, you can vaguely see Zhangjiagang across the sea.

In terms of the cause alone, there should be a lot of quartz mines on the mountains of China, but one is quite far from the sea and the mountains are steep. The second is not as good as the environment on Sanshan Island, after all, on the island, there are often strong winds, and the vegetation is not tall, so it is more convenient to develop.

And the volcanic magma of Sanshan Island erupted hundreds of millions of years ago, and it must have flowed into the sea along the mountain, so if there can be quartz ore to form veins, it must be buried shallow, and the facts have also proved Wu Bailiu's judgment, in the shallow magma fissures under the mountain, a lot of sporadic quartz veins have been found, but in terms of reserves, a year and a half years, it is enough, so it saves the trouble of looking elsewhere, Wu Bailiu feels a lot easier.

Next, as long as the Ministry of Industry built a house wharf on the island, so that people could mine, even if only ordinary unpowered wooden sailboats were used, with the tide letter at this time, one day would be enough to transport the newly mined quartz ore back to the glass factory at the mouth of the Jiali River, and when the tide letter changed in autumn, the road from Zhangjiagang to Jiabao had already been repaired, and it could be transported to Jiabo smoothly from the port south of Sanshan.

A group of more than a dozen people said this as they headed down the mountain, and the two speedboats were already waiting at anchor in the shallows outside a sandbar.

Just as everyone was about to board the ship and return, in the group that was still standing guard not far from the mountainside behind them, a member of the team in a tropical training uniform suddenly took off his sunglasses and looked south.

"Is there a fire in Zhangjiagang?"

At a distance of 10 nautical miles, standing on a high place and looking carefully, it seems that thick black smoke is rising from the south, and at this time, it is no better than later generations, and there are steam-powered ships, and the fireworks at sea are either accidents or battles. At the moment, the sea is calm, and it is really impossible to overturn the ship's wind stove in such weather, and the direction is also strange.

"Is something wrong with our port?"

Wang Wenshan raised the binoculars and looked at it for a while, once again confirming that the scene as far as his eyes could see was not an illusion.

On the Zhangjiagang side, there will be no more than twenty veterans stationed, and the rest are recruited workers and returning prisoners of war. All the skilled shipwrights were collected and sent to Dudong a few days ago, but in fact the current number of local personnel is not more than when the Zhang family was entrenched here, and the population alone will not exceed 100.

There was no industry to be developed there, and the reason why a stronghold was kept was purely to ensure that there was a transit on the road from Garbo, and at the same time to provide forward command for the next Northeast Raiders. The reputation of the Great Song Dynasty had already spread to the Broken Hand River valley further east, but in order to actually control the region, rather than just setting up trading posts, the navy alone did not have access to land routes to exercise more effective control over the region.

And there is another one, that is, after the autumn of this year, the tide letter is reversed, and then the resources from the northeast will go ashore in Zhangjiagang and take the land route to Bajia Bay, which is not completely meaningless.

Everyone was still puzzled, but they saw a person on the speedboat, who was waving to Wang Wenshan at this moment, and the voice came. "Captain, there's news from headquarters."

Since the first satellite was successfully launched, the sea area of Borneo has been able to relay information through satellites, but because of the problem of signal reception, although the old portable equipment can also be copied, there is really no need to waste resources, and there is also maritime satellite communication equipment on the speedboat, but it cannot be disassembled, it is enough to deal with such an investigation, and I don't know what the headquarters will suddenly take the initiative to contact.

When Wang Wenshan heard this, he did not hesitate at all, and his intuition was that there must be some errand that needed to be assigned temporarily. So he ran and jumped, and came down the hill to the shore in a few steps, carefully waded into the water and climbed onto the boat, looked at the south again through the cover of the roof of the shed, and took the handpiece from the left-behind team member with his right hand.

"I'm Wang Wenshan."

"Yes, we've seen it."

"Don't worry, the detachment will leave immediately, and it will be there in twenty minutes."

A speedboat with a driver, enough for ten people, with a speed of more than 40 knots, is currently the fastest sea ship on Labuan Island, from Sanshan Island to the open sea of Zhangjiagang, strictly speaking, it takes less than a quarter of an hour.

When I put down the phone and looked back, the boat was already full, and the other boat was farther away, there were not many people on it, just some equipment was piled up, and Wu Bailiu and the members of the investigation team were there.

"Why don't you go first, it's useless for the scholars to go, you don't have to wait for them."

The speedboat began to skillfully reverse to avoid several reefs, adjusting its direction towards the depths of the water, the driver slowly accelerated and tried to ask, "What is the situation over there in Zhangjiagang?" Qin Gao also has more than ten guns in his hand, who is so short-sighted. ”

Although the questioner spoke strongly, the concern revealed was easily perceptible. Now Qin Gaobu, who is responsible for guarding Zhangjiagang, is the most non-existent group of the newly built strongholds, but in terms of being able to fight, there are security guards, urban management, and gangsters with a background in collecting accounts among more than ten people, Qin himself is a veteran, and it is really not something that the local natives can provoke casually, besides, the natives who dare to provoke Zhangjiagang have been cleaned up half to death when they are in the hands of Zhang Chailao, and there is no reason to change to a stronger one, but it makes people delusional.

Wang Wenshan didn't answer, gritted his teeth and said fiercely. "I'm afraid, sail the boat."

The players who are familiar with his personality are no longer noisy, who doesn't know that the name of the hot-tempered captain is equal to nothing, and he has always been neither literate nor good, only the fastest thing to join in the fun.

Wang Wenshan no longer cares about everyone's thoughts, and it is just another credit in front of him, so there is no need to think about it at all.

With a phone call, he already knew the situation over there, a large gang from the northeast to the sea was going to dock at Zhangjiagang, in fact, it was also a fleet of half-merchants and half-bandits.

Coincidentally, the two 8154 fishing boats originally docked in the harbor sent people to the east of the city, and only the local wooden boats were parked at the wharf, which was not advantageous in terms of power, and the number of the other party was several times more than that in the harbor. A few people with bloody faces ran to report the news, and for a while everyone lost Zhang Zhi and missed the opportunity to counter the landing.

Therefore, looking at the situation, Qin Gao led people to retreat to the newly built fortress, in fact, there was no fierce battle, more than 30 naturalized people ran into the fortress together, and the rest of the people were captured by the pirates with a considerable number of prisoners, and a large number of workers were still with the road construction team in the Jiali River valley in the south, so there were not many people here.

The gang of thieves saw that the fortress was strong, tried to rush and suffered a loss, and then did not attack hard, they thought that there must be a lot of gold and silver in the fort, and coveted the firearms in the hands of the patriarch, and now they just set up camp around, with the idea of besieging, there were a lot of building materials originally piled up in the port, and the wood accumulated by the Zhang family in the past was useless, and they were used by those thieves.

Qin Gao thought that the other party would come to attack, relying on the advantage of firepower, he did not put the thieves in his eyes, but the general bandits actually began to build simple houses in the port, thinking that it was a long-term measurement, and he would not suffer a loss if he rushed out rashly, but it was really not cost-effective to fight in his own home, and there were many people on the other side, and he fled directly into the sea, which was not a big ship, and it was not easy to chase.

Anyway, it is also two or three hundred available manpower, I heard that the glass factory is looking for quartz ore, and the mining of quartz ore is not comfortable, so it is really unbearable to let the honest naturalized people do it, and now it is just settled.

When Zhangjiagang sent a letter to the headquarters, it had actually been half a day since the bandits went ashore, but the thieves had accidentally set the fire themselves.

"Sulu barbarian of dog days."

Looking at the two lines of trails behind him, Captain Wang, who finally caught the battle again, couldn't help but scold, but there was more of a smile in the scolding.
