Chao Gai led the team to arrive, this time there are really a lot of people and horses, in addition to the personal army led by Jiao Ting and Luo Yun, there are also three battalions of men and horses, Li Kui's infantry is 1,000 people, the original 500 infantry has expanded by 500, and now the standard is 1,000 people. Pang Wanchun's department is now also a thousand people, but it is still infantry, and it has not been converted into cavalry, and archers have the purpose of archers, and they don't rely on cavalry to fight. Tang Bin's department, a thousand cavalry, all of them are recruits, and the recruits who ride horses and grind their buttocks, have marched for seven or eight days, and their thighs are worn out.

It turned out that Chao Gai had been staying in Black Dragon City, Black Dragon City had just changed hands, and it was inevitable that people would be moved, but Wang Lun's prefect carefully managed, and announced many orders in a row, the original tax reduction of Black Dragon City was 30 percent, and other excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes were all stopped, and various subsidies and subsidies for difficult groups were issued, and various disputes over pastures of various tribes were mediated, etc., and a series of policies were implemented to gradually stabilize the people's hearts.

Of course, another way to stabilize the people's hearts and minds is to have a large army. Liu Tang's 1,000 heavy cavalry, 2,000 light cavalry, Yuan Lang's 1,000 light cavalry, plus more than 1,000 infantry in the field, and the cannons were put on the city wall.

After more than ten days of the Mid-Autumn Festival, there were two light snows in a row. Chao Gai looked at the sky and sighed: "It's time to go back, the cold winter of Black Dragon Island is coming." ”

Liu Tang said: "I asked Zamula carefully, and he said that the Jin people rarely fight in the field in winter, for no other reason, the winter is too cold, and the hands holding weapons must wear leather gloves, otherwise the skin and flesh will stick to the hands." ”

Chao Gai said: "That's the case, even cold, freezing to death, freezing cattle and sheep are common, how are the departments of cold prevention knowledge propaganda?" ”

Liu Tang said: "Every night, the soldiers still attach great importance to it, quilts, leather clothes, leather boots, gloves, and leather hats have been distributed, and the military hospital has also prepared a large number of chilblain cream and typhoid medicine. ”

"Yuan Lang, what about your department."

Yuan Lang said: "More than half of the people in our department are natives of Heilong Island, and they have a full understanding of the cold, not only all kinds of cold-proof clothes issued by the troops, but also their own robes and rabbit skins. But these soldiers are very interesting, and they like the cotton coats in the team very much, and they wear them on horseback, and they feel like they are in style. ”

Gongsun Sheng said with a smile: "The cotton coat was designed by my brother, it is long and big, it is one meter five long, and the short man wears it basically to the feet and neck." The cotton coat is not only beautiful to wear, but more importantly, it can be used as a quilt cover when sleeping, and it is reasonable for the cavalry to like it. ”

Everyone chatted a few words, and got back to business, Chao Gai said: "The matter of Black Dragon Island is over, and the next thing is to develop Black Dragon Island, I have been out for several months, and I have to go back." Now that the cold winter is coming, the chances of the Jin people sending troops to attack are very small. ”

Everyone deliberated and made a decision, in military affairs, Liu Tang was appointed as the chief general of Heilong Island, Gongsun Sheng was the military advisor, and the military aircraft was the counselor. Yuan Lang and Hao Siwen are deputy generals.

Black Dragon City is still the center of Black Dragon Island temporarily, with Yuan Lang and Yuye 1,000 cavalry and 1,200 infantry stationed in Black Dragon City. Liu Tang, Lu Fang, and Guo Sheng led 3,000 cavalry, together with the 3,000 infantry of the Black Dragon City, to garrison the Fierce Bull Grassland, and at the same time, a new city will be built next year in the western region of the Fierce Bull Grassland, Fierce Bull City. Wen Zhong led 2,000 soldiers to defend Baiyu Harbor, including 600 artillery, 600 infantry, and 800 cavalry. There is a team of Yan Kuohai's sailors in the port, but this team is very small, and Chao Gai allocated five centipede ships, a total of 100 people, under the jurisdiction of Chao Xiong's fleet. In the southern Anping Port, there are 1,000 musketeers of Hao Siwen and 200 sailors on the water to defend together.

The defenders of Black Dragon Island are nearly 10,000 people, but their forces are somewhat scattered. As for Li Kui's department, Pang Wanchun's department, and Tang Bin's department, Chao Gai planned to bring them back, compared to the visible enemy, the invisible enemy was the most dangerous.

Seeing Chao Gai and the others arrive, Chao Xiong and Hao Siwen were very happy, and happily reported to Chao Gai in detail about the beating of the Dongying pirates.

The officers of the Chinese army in Anping Port gathered together to summarize the gains and losses of this battle to exterminate the Dongying pirates.

Chao Gai slapped the table: "It's a good fight, if you dare to rob our merchant ships, you must beat it hard." What is particularly worthy of recognition is that the battalion commander Hao Siwen cooperated with the naval army with new recruits and achieved major results, from officers to soldiers were rewarded, and the military merits were distributed at the evening meeting. ”

Everyone was very happy, Hao Siwen said: "This battle has been tested in actual combat, and it was found that the power of the Vulcan gun is indeed very strong, with live ammunition of 200 meters and scattered bullets of 100 meters, and the lethality is very strong. However, it takes an average of 15 seconds to reload, and it is very embarrassing to fight without the cooperation of other troops. See if there's a way to improve. ”

Chao Gai said: "There is definitely no problem with improvement, a soldier named Liu Shizhen proposed that the ammunition of the Vulcan gun be made into paper like the tiger squat cannon for pre-made packaging, that is, the gunpowder and bullets are pre-made with paper, and the bullets and gunpowder are loaded in place at one time when loading, so that the loading time can be improved to at least ten seconds, and if a thousand people are equipped with a thousand guns and a batch of three hundred and thirty, a dense rain of bullets can be formed." ”

Hao Siwen's blood boiled, and he said, "Great, when will it be improved, and when will the five hundred Vulcan guns be in place."

Before Chao Gai could speak, Li Kui shouted and said, "What's that, Camp Commander Hao, don't dislike me Tieniu and talk too much." Fighting a war is about blood and courage, and we can't focus on weapons. What kind of Vulcan spear do you have to know that it is unreliable in heavy rain, if the enemy takes advantage of the rain to attack, you still can't help fighting? ”

Hao Siwen was not angry, and said: "Brother Tie Niu is right, after these few battles, from me to ordinary soldiers, they rely too much on the Vulcan spear, it seems that they must first train the most basic things of the infantry." ”

Li Kui said: "That's right, each person in your battalion is equipped with a big plate axe, and when you are fighting, you can rush up and chirp and chop for a while, that's what is enjoyable." ”

"Li Kui, it's nonsense again. The musketeers' Vulcan guns are two meters long, and it is inconvenient to carry them, so how to equip them with plate axes and Yanling knives is determined by the military department after comprehensive consideration, and it is reasonable. However, Brother Hao should indeed strengthen the practice of the Yanling knife in his training, if he encounters an environment where the Vulcan gun can't be used, he still relies on the Yanling knife. ”

Hao Siwen nodded and wrote it down carefully.

Chao Xiong said: "There are too few sailors in our team, only 200 people, and it is still the previous establishment in the water, and it is not enough to come out to fight a naval battle, so do you consider expanding it like Ruan Xiaoqi and Xu Guanzhong's fleet." ”

Chao Gai smiled: "It's a hurry, but things have to come step by step." Your fleet has also expanded to a size of 1,000 people, but the main Flying Eagle warship is gone, and most of the recent production is Asuka merchant ships, tell me what you mean. ”

Chao Xiong said: "It seems that our naval army has been stationed in Anping Port for a long time, and there are many islands in this area, and the main targets of prevention are Dongying pirates, and the number of landing operations is relatively large. Since the Flying Eagle Battleship is gone, there are still three Flying Eagle Battleships as the capital ship, and now there are ten Centipede warships, only thirty more Centipede warships need to be deployed, the Centipede Warship has a very shallow draft and a slender hull, which is very conducive to landing on a small island. ”

Chao Gai thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll assign you thirty centipede boats, but you have to practice landing operations well, and often let soldiers practice bows and arrows and long knives, so as not to become soft-footed shrimp in shore battles." ”

Chao Xiong patted his chest and said, "Brother, don't worry, if our water army becomes a soft-footed shrimp and cuts off my head." ”

Centipede ships are not a problem, the new Jeju shipyard has them, and if you produce centipede ships at full capacity, thousands of them a year will not be a problem. It's just that now the main business of the new Jeju shipyard is to produce medium-sized Fukuship, which is divided into two types: cargo ships and warships, and the warships are called Jiaolonghao, with thick decks and armor. Cargo ships are called medium-sized ships, unarmoured, and the same ship type.

The 150 captured Dongying pirates had no objection to arranging them to be in the quarry, but they were just arranged for Hao Siwen to be supervised by Haosheng and let them work while not forgetting to preach, maybe they could win over some people.

Chao Xiong scratched his head and said, "The fifty Goryeo women rescued are all a bit beautiful, I don't like it, but the soldiers under him want to marry them as wives, I don't know if my brother agrees." ”

Chao Gai shook his head: "It's not proper, the marriage of a man and a woman is a matter of love, our Yuncheng group practice pays attention to benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith, although these weak women have no power to resist, but we can't force it, otherwise what is the difference with those dog officials in the court." ”

Chao Xiong and Hao Siwen lowered their heads in shame when they heard this, although these two commanders were not moved, but they would inevitably think about their soldiers, Pang Wanchun and Tang Bin very much agreed with Chao Gai's statement, it is necessary to be benevolent, righteous, courteous, and wise for the generals.

Chao Gai said: "There are twenty or thirty thousand strong men in this area of Anping Port, all of them are men, and they can't become a family without a daughter-in-law, and if they can't become a family, they won't take Heilong Island as their home." Therefore, the marriage of the strong men is also something that I and the military advisers worry about. Rather than force, it is better to attract. From today onwards, each of these 50 women will be given a set of housing, distributed enough clothes and food, and given the same treatment as our strong men. Wait for the spring of next year, send them back if they are willing to go home, and raise their salaries if they are not willing to go back, so that they can work steadily. If they adapt to life here, we will take them back to their hometowns in the spring of next year to recruit more female workers and learn the development model of New Jeju Island, so that the soldiers and strong men will have more opportunities. ”

Men and women match, work is not tired, it is easy to spark love in working together, Jeju group training does not allow this to happen, but people still support the marriage you are willing to marry.
