At this moment, there are two choices in front of Li Yuanjing!

Walk!

Or stay!

This is a very real problem.

Walking, it means that they can find unknown hope.

More than half of the fleet are veterans, and many of them have been to the South Seas.

Know that the temperature difference in different regions is different for the same season.

Leaving here, it may still be winter, but they also find that the farther south they go, the warmer it gets.

The disease will still follow them, but at least they won't have to face the cold here.

It also means that they will choose to leave if the fleet is not fully restocked.

And at present, the fleet's coal reserves are not even half of the full warehouse, that is, they will have to stop for mining after a month of sailing at most.

When to find it, when to leave.

Staying, it's not without hope.

At least there are ready-made coal mines, and although the climate here is not very suitable for mining now, if the lives of the slaves are not taken into account, it will be possible to replenish the fleet of coal to full in about two months.

The full inventory of coal means that they can go further, and they no longer have to worry about when they will be in a desperate situation, and they will have more options.

But in the same way, Li Yuanjing is also very clear in his heart.

The whole of North America is actually the same, although the winter in Alaska will be colder than in Central and North America, but Central and North America are not much better, right?

This brings us to the topography of North America.

The terrain of North America is almost a great plain, and there are no mountains in the north to help him shelter him from some cold winds.

So in the winter, it's normal for a snowstorm or something to happen here.

Even in the afterlife, there will be accidental casualties due to sudden snowstorms every year.

In addition, there are many hurricanes, and the reason is that there are no mountains to cover them.

On the other hand, Huaxia is very different.

The entire western and northern regions, almost stretching for thousands of miles, provide natural shelter for North China, Central China, South China and other regions.

Therefore, no matter what time of year in China, especially in the inland areas, the wind is very gentle.

"You can't just leave so easily, this is the place that this king fancies, and he just takes this opportunity to train his soldiers!" Thinking about the key to it, Li Yuanjing said resolutely.

There's nothing to hesitate about, now that you've chosen North America, you'll have to be ready to take on whatever it takes.

If you can't adapt to even the most basic weather and climate, then what's the next thing to talk about conquest?

The people need to accept the environment here, and the army needs to accept it in the early stage, they will be the patron saints of the first batch of immigrants, if even they can't stand on their feet, then what is the immigration?

"Although the cold climate here is a little unacceptable, I have to admit that this place is also an inevitable challenge for everyone, maybe the climate of your fiefdom will be different from Datang in the future, what should I do at that time?" Li Yuanjing continued.

"Your Highness, the state of the fleet is not good right now!" The cynical Cheng Chuliang also resumed his serious attitude at this time.

"What's wrong with being in bad shape? If the state is not good, the war will not come? If the army can't even adapt to this difficulty, then what kind of army is it? What else to talk about immigration? Li Yuanjing said a little angrily.

"But ......"

"There's nothing to do, what the king says here!" Li Yuanjing directly interrupted the other party's words, and immediately said: "This winter this king is not going anywhere, just here!" ”

"This is the first settlement point planned by this king, and all immigrants and troops from the Tang Dynasty must arrive here first!"

"A month, a month, everyone has to adapt to the environment here, this month let Rukado pass on his experience, a month later, the army will begin to go out for combat training, and at the end of this winter, this king will make sure that there are no indigenous tribes within a radius of five hundred miles!"

"The matter of mining can be temporarily postponed, and those people can be given a chance, as long as their performance in this war can satisfy the king, the king can give them the same treatment as the Soviet Ministry."

"Craftsmen can't be idle, they can't build ships, so they will find a way to build some platforms, how much coal can be loaded, and when the time comes, they will be linked with ropes and let the big ships drag them away."

"Solve the barracks problem as soon as possible......" Li Yuanjing thought for a while, and shook his head again: "Forget it, this king is personally responsible for this problem, in short, everyone has their own duties, this king hopes that after spending this winter, everyone can gain some knowledge and unique abilities that they have never known!" ”

"No!"

In the face of Li Yuanjing's strength, everyone had to nod their heads, what else could they do but agree?

Since this meeting, these people have completely stabilized.

The craftsmen began to think about how to build that platform, where the conditions were limited, and it was impossible to play too big, and what was made might not work.

So, after a brief discussion, the craftsmen decided to make a little guy with a length of about ten meters and a width of about three and a half meters.

Although it is small, the cargo capacity is also very limited, and the coal load of a ship may not even be enough for a warship to burn for half a day, but it is not troublesome to manufacture.

And most importantly, you don't need a keel, just find some sturdy wood to assemble.

Because if you don't sit on people, it doesn't matter if the knot is strong or not, even if it sinks, the loss is not big, it's nothing more than a boatload of coke.

Moreover, after going to sea, the first to be replenished are these small boats, whether these fully loaded small boats can last for five days is still a question, what do you want to do so much?

The craftsmen's goal was determined, and they began to get busy, anyway, there was a whole winter, and two hundred soldiers were assigned to them to do some manual work.

Of course, the heavier task of cutting down trees, this will naturally be handed over to those slaves.

Shipbuilding is a university question, and Li Yuanjing doesn't want these slaves to learn what to think in their hearts.

In addition, the busiest is the medical officer, the air in the cabin is not smooth, there are too many germs in the cabin, and even some people's symptoms are getting more and more serious, and the number of infected people is also increasing.

And building a simple house is not difficult for Li Yuanjing, how to isolate the cold air from the outside?

It's actually quite simple.

Li Yuanji directly asked people to draw a circle according to the original traces in the place where the original tent collapsed, and then cleaned up the inner circle of this circle about two fists apart, and laid the pile, which did not need to be too deep, because it was too deep to go down.

A circle of stakes is formed directly, the upper part and the middle are connected by thinner sticks, and then the thatched mat is directly covered on it, and then the tent is covered, and at the same time, a wooden stick is used to create a frame on the outside, which is also covered by thatched mats on the outermost.

In this way, the outermost thatched mat is used to insulate the outermost cold air, and the tent in the middle is used to insulate the cold air from the breakthrough and the melted snow.

Inside, thatched mats provide insulation.

In order to prevent collapse, the center of the tent is supported by a thigh-thick tree trunk, which is so strong that the snow will never collapse unless it is windy.

At the same time, a thick layer of dried leaves was being spread on the ground and thatched mats were being covered, and the tent was tented and completed.

But this is not enough, Li Yuanjing made people dig some soil with great effort, and if they can't dig it, they replace it with sand on the shore and spread it directly in the open space in the center, the biggest problem with this thing is that it is easy to catch fire, but at this time, it can't take care of so much.
