More than ten days ago, the garrison of Guli Port ordered people to open the warehouse, and then drove the laborers of the wharf to load supplies to more than a dozen naval warships—mainly grain, gunpowder, livestock, knives, guns, arrows, and other materials.

Thirteen warships, including three pure transports, were non-combat-powered ships with less than fifty crews. Combat effectiveness is weak, even when equipped with firearms. But their warehouses were filled with a range of military supplies.

Set sail and arrive at Zufarer within ten days.

In the afternoon, two days before the news was received at the port of Sohar, a fleet of ships that had crossed the heavenly sea arrived outside the port of Zufar.

The area where Zufar's location is called Enze Coast, which is the name Lu Qian gave it. Bordering this narrow coastline is a plateau, a thousand meters above sea level that prevents the water vapor from the ocean from penetrating deep into the interior of the peninsula, leaving most of the peninsula in a terrible heat. Therefore, Lu Qian gave this area such a name.

Trees are shady, springs are flowing, and there are so many wild animals that you can't name them. The appearance of Zufarr is completely humid and the appearance of the humid marine climate, and the Tianfang Peninsula in people's impression of a world of yellow sand is completely different worlds.

Although they can't form an effective threat to the interior of the Tianfang Peninsula here, Lu Qian doesn't expect them to form a threat. With the Grace Coast firmly in place, this place will become one of the nodes where Lu Qi controls the entire Celestial World.

The position of the Gulf of Aden is too critical, there is no need to cut in at this time, and now Lu Qian's spearhead is only aimed at the Seljuks.

And with the coast of Enze properly controlled, and the military port of the fortress being built, the Seljuks probably did not have the energy to come and organize. It is impossible for them to divide their forces and rush to Zufar at this time. At most, the tribes on the peninsula can be relied upon, but how can they give their lives to the death? When the wharf is completed and the fortress is completed, only a few hundred people need to be stationed inside, and more than a dozen large and small cannons are erected, that is, tens of thousands of horses will come, and they will not be able to attack it in a hurry.

Dozens of local fishermen, farmers and herdsmen squatted on the ground in fear, and they had just been forced by a group of yellow-skinned and black-haired Japanese security guards with knives and guns to shave their heads and beards, and then they were driven en masse into several wooden sheds to bathe. This process is definitely not peaceful, many people cry and cry, but in the face of those fierce soldiers, everyone still has to choose to submit.

As a famous port on the Tianfang Peninsula, the local people obviously will not recognize the Chinese. Some people may even know Japanese people.

These little men have a good sense of obedience, and they dare to fight and are not afraid of death. In recent years, with the emigration of the Japanese, some have become sailors on Chinese merchant ships, which is not surprising.

After taking a shower, everyone suddenly found that their original clothes had been taken away! In its place was a neat set of black linen shirts.

The newcomer Lu Qijun didn't plan to change their habits now, and all the styles were traditional Tianfang robes.

And the reason why these people want to shave their hair and beard is purely because they are 'lucky' to be forcibly absorbed by Lu Qijun.

Whether it is the construction of the fortress or others, Lu Qi needs a lot of labor. These people are just that. Shaving their hair is for hygiene.

And if they were purely 'wild' natives, the soldiers would not bother to pay attention to their hair.

"Don't be idle! Work, work. The Japanese security guard, who could only speak a few words in Tianfang, shouted loudly. The strange accent of rage rang in the ears of the bald heads, and the pitch-changing voice made them unable to distinguish the meaning for a moment. But the ferocity and ferocity contained in that voice made them wake up one by one.

Thinking that he was still in their hands, all the bald faces were piled up with flattering smiles, and then put on the canvas gloves issued to him by the people on the east coast, grabbed a shovel and pickaxe, and ran towards the construction site where the earth was being dug in front of them.

At this time, a military officer wearing a dark official robe walked into the construction site under the leadership of the Japanese overseer.

The construction of the fortress has now become a daily routine for the technical officers of the Ministry of War, who are like the engineering officers of later generations, technicians, and engineers at the construction site.

Naturally, the Japanese overseers had to be careful.

Naturally, there is a city in the port of Zufar, if the low walls are also a city.

The decline of the Abbasid dynasty and the 'civil strife' of the Seljuk Empire in recent years have left Zufard away from the control of the powerful regime, and has become more of a confinement for the tribes of the Dhofar Plateau.

And in the eyes of these clan leaders, there is no 'wall'.

Now that Lu Qi has seized this place, it is naturally the cheese that has touched the original vested interests, but as long as the heads of those tribes are not broken, they will understand what kind of behemoth Lu Qi is, and they will not act rashly until they find out the news or get the strong support of Baghdad, relying on their own strength to recover the Blessed Coast.

And Lu Qi is going to take advantage of this wrong time to strive to preliminarily complete the defense of the entire Enze coast. That's a lot of work!

Ling Zhen looked at the planning map in front of him, and his expression was not as calm as he appeared outside.

This is a rare opportunity for him to be on his own.

When it comes to artillery, he is not afraid of anyone. But now leading troops alone is a real rarity. In all these years, he hadn't been on the battlefield for many years.

But Ling Zhen also knew that his body was in his fifties, and if he didn't come out, he wouldn't have a chance to come out. It is one of his great wishes to lead troops to fight alone, Hu Cheng, Tang Long, Meng Kang, Tao Zongwang and other goods are all majestic in Beitianzhu, and after coming back, they are shameless and fancy to boast of themselves, he Ling Zhen also wants to be majestic once, but he is not willing to regret it for life!

However, really leading troops to fight really depends on talent, Ling Zhen's age is not young, although he has been in the battle formation for a long time, he is not inexperienced at all, but he has obeyed orders under people before. Now Lu Qian has matched Ling Zhen with Yang Qi and Yang Qin, who are famous in Nanyang, as his deputies, but he is still panicked in his heart, who can blame this?

The plan spread out on the table has been drawn a long time ago. Zufar's topography has long been transmitted back to the Central Plains by the Espionage Division, and the planning map in front of him is designed according to Zufar's terrain.

It's not just a simple fortress, but also the supporting facilities of Enze City, well, the renamed Zufar.

Not only harbor forts, but also city walls, aqueducts, sewers, small artificial reservoirs, water towers, and so on. It serves as a source of water for the soldiers and civilians in the city. It's also just in case, in case the water source outside the city is cut off by the siege. Therefore, some wells and rainwater collection ponds should be built in the city......

The entire amount of work is still quite large, and according to the existing 1,000 adult male natives who are less than 1,000 at hand, they don't know that they will be busy until the Year of the Monkey.

When the momentum is stabilized, the Qi army will inevitably go out to fight the grass valley and come back from capturing some people.

Now there are fence tents everywhere on the shore, and a large number of supplies are piled up in the open and covered with a layer of tarpaulin. Helplessly, there are too many things.
