Chapter 356 The foreign woman knows how to heal?

At about half past seven in the evening of the same day, the fleet arrived in Macao.

Before entering the South Bay, Lin Xiao saw the huge figure of the freighter "Longsheng" quietly moored on the sea outside the port......

Under Chen Qice's introduction and mediation, the "Longsheng's" trip to Qiongzhou went quite smoothly, and more than 300,000 rubber saplings landed in time.

After receiving 10,000 stone of Annam rice and 8,000 catties of black powder, Du Yonghe, the general of Qiongzhou, agreed to help promote the cultivation of rubber.

At the request of the technicians brought by Fang Yuchun, he sent someone to accompany him the next day to find a suitable hillside on the outskirts of Fucheng, and prepared to organize the mountain people to open up the wasteland for planting.

According to Lin Xiao's meaning, the army will pay for it, and the government at all levels will promise to underwrite and compensate, and almost never encroach on fertile land.

Therefore, the local officials patted their chests and promised that they would plant all the 300,000 saplings as quickly as possible and do their best to ensure their survival.

In fact, the entire Qiongzhou Prefecture, now Hainan Island, is the second largest island in China after Taiwan Island, with three states and ten counties under its jurisdiction, and the area is extremely vast.

The whole island is low and flat all around, the middle is towering, with Wuzhi Mountain, Parrot Ridge as the core of the uplift, descending step by step to the periphery, except for a few high mountains in the middle, most of the mountains are between 500,800 meters above sea level, in fact, most of the coastal areas are hilly low mountain terrain.

In fact, what the government and garrison can really control are mainly the vast coastal hilly areas, and the central part of the island, the primeval dense forest area on the high mountains, is still inhabited by many uncivilized Li tribes, and the people of the government generally do not easily provoke them.

The whole island is located in the northern edge of the tropics, belongs to the tropical monsoon climate, has always been known as the "natural greenhouse", here long summer and no winter, full sunshine, sufficient rain, very suitable for the growth of rubber.

300,000 rubber plants do not occupy much land, Danzhou alone is enough to digest these saplings in half a month, at least for a few years, there is no need to involve the states and counties in the south of the island, let alone disturb the primitive tribes deep in the mountains.

The task was completed, Fang Yuchun and He Shouxin and them, leaving only a few technicians, and hurriedly left.

However, instead of going back directly to Macau, they went to Qinzhou.

Because, in fact, there are still tens of thousands of saplings on the ship, these saplings are more drought-tolerant and cold-tolerant varieties, according to Lao Chen's meaning, in line with the principle of risk dispersion, these tens of thousands of saplings are selected and planted in Qinzhou, Guangxi.

In addition, the ship also contained dozens of tons of raw rubber, which needed to be transported back to Fangcheng Town as soon as possible and handed over to Zhou Xiaojie for disposal.

This was the latex purchased directly from the South American continent at the request of Lao Zhou, which Li Tao and his colleagues used a large amount of silk and tea to exchange directly in the hands of the local manor owner.

These pure natural latex can be made into dry rubber after simple processing, which is natural rubber in the usual sense.

For Lao Zhou, the process of rubber mixing is quite simple, and his chemical plant has enough technology and equipment.

With this batch of rubber, Lao Zhou and Lao Cao can start to think about the manufacture of many advanced industrial equipment.

First of all, the drawings of the improvised shallow oil extraction equipment have been completed.

According to Lin Xiao's plan, they have about a year to perfect and improve, and after the rest of the supporting equipment is fully prepared, they can be mass-manufactured.

Secondly, according to Sun Lei's request, Cao Jiawen and a few interns have been pondering the development of steam engines and diesel engines.

The ambitious Cao Jiawen thought that the efficiency of the first generation of steam engines was too low, and after having rubber, he even thought about skipping the steam engine and directly building a more efficient diesel engine.

In fact, compared with the stupid black and coarse steam engine, the small and exquisite diesel engine, in addition to the extremely high process requirements of the cylinder, other parts are relatively easy to manufacture.

Third, the trial production of some necessary civilian goods has also been put on the agenda.

For example, wires and cables, piston pumps, faucets, etc., all need rubber gaskets to seal.

In Lao Zhou's plan, as long as the oil is extracted in time, the first oil refinery must be built in his lifetime.

At that time, a variety of chemical products will be put into production, such as fertilizers, chemical fibers, and plastic products......

Only in this way will the knowledge they bring not be wasted.

Of course, at that time, the small Qinzhou was no longer enough for them to show their strengths, so they had been encouraging Lin Xiao to take Shanghai as soon as possible.

Only by recovering the rich Yangtze River Delta Plain can we recruit enough high-quality workers, and can we make full use of the water transportation resources there to build an industrialized city that has begun to take shape.

……

After that, the "Longsheng" did not delay much in Qinzhou.

After reloading a batch of grain and ammunition, it happened to take Yu Jifan, Li Hanzhi and other men and horses with them, and the "Longsheng" quickly returned to Macao.

……

On the wharf, headed by Qu Shiyun, Li Hanzhi, Chen Qice, Yu Jifan, He Shouxin, Fu Xinrui and others have long been looking forward to it.

Among them, Fu Xinrui's company was transferred by Lin Xiao from Zhang Chenfeng's reconnaissance battalion to guard Macao, and in the future, this company will be subordinate to Li Hanzhi's Hong Kong base.

Since the reconnaissance battalion did not have the establishment of a baggage company, Zhang Chenfeng's cavalry regiment, the real old unit, only had two companies.

And Li Hanzhi, the new commander of the base, came from Hong Kong to meet Lin Xiao.

That night, Lin Xiao stayed at the Governor's Palace, the special combat team and the juvenile battalion were stationed in the barracks, and the engineer battalion and a large number of craftsmen stayed directly on the ship.

"By the way, how are the battalion of Franc mercenaries, how are they training?"

As he was greeting, Lin Xiao suddenly remembered the captured Franc Ji soldiers, "That colonel, called...... What's going on? ”

"Eric Mendoza,"

Qu Shiyun replied with a smile when he heard this, "They are in the barracks behind, they are honestly managed, and they have never made trouble. ”

"Oh, it's your guys watching?"

Lin Xiao nodded and dealt with Xin Rui.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief,"

Fu Xinrui replied shyly, "I am training according to our requirements, I go to bed early and get up early every day, and I ......am very well-behaved."

"Really?"

Lin Xiao grinned.

It seems that the foreigners of this era have not experienced the Opium War, have not been spoiled to the arrogance of the Qing Dynasty, and are still in awe of the Chinese.

"Yes,"

Fu Xinrui muttered, "If you eat enough every day, and you still have money, what else can you do?" ”

"Huh,"

Lin Xiao was happy and said, "Starting tomorrow, let them come to a few live-fire training, and this time, I will take them to the big staff." ”

"Yes!"

When Fu Xinrui heard this, she immediately responded happily.

These foreign soldiers, since they have taken the silver of the Hou Ye, of course the flintlock pistols in their hands have to come in handy, and it must be fun to let these foreign soldiers fight with the other group of foreigners of the senior rank.

However, then he hesitated and said, "However, there are a few foreign women...... He refused to return to China when he died, saying that he must accompany his husband to join the army. ”

"In the army?"

Lin Xiao frowned, "What can they do?" ”

"Mainly...... The mother-in-law of the two officers took the head,"

Fu Xinrui said curtly, "That young officer recovered quickly, and his mother-in-law ...... Understands medical skills. ”

"Oh?"

Lin Xiao frowned, and turned to look at Doctor Yu.

Does a foreign woman know medical skills?

Now, Lin Xiao is in spirit, and he is worried about the lack of military doctors.
