Chapter Seventy-One: Spring Love on the Island of Liuqiu
The entire island is actually full of spring love. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In the spring of 1273, the highest number of marriages were held on the island of Liuqiu.
The men of the Great Song Dynasty in this time and space are still very confident, they do not have a particularly heavy "virgin complex", and they can accept second-married women.
The women of the Great Song Dynasty in this time and space are still very free, they take remarriage for granted, and they have no guilt.
The society of this time and space is encouraging and supportive of remarriage, so there is a small upsurge in the phenomenon of marriage on Liuqiu Island.
Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, and Jing Jing were very happy about this phenomenon, and they discussed it and decided to give a gift to every newlyweds who got married.
These gifts are all new products from the island, such as coarse silk and sugar.
Director Hu Zhenbei still came to beg for it with a shy face, although he got married earlier, but he can be regarded as a newcomer to Liuqiu Island.
Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, spoke directly with his feet and kicked him away.
His monthly salary is so high, he can't afford to buy whatever he wants, so he takes advantage of this little advantage!
Now, the Great Song Dynasty, the Tatar bandit clique, and the Liuqiu cross-strait tripartite have all stopped the war, and everyone is busy with their own affairs, and this is a rare period of development, but perhaps the leaders of the three sides of the strait know in their hearts that the war will still happen------
Wang Defa and his friends were correct in their previous judgments.
The existence of the Shandong Peninsula gave the people of the northern continent a chance to escape.
They did not deliberately pursue the people's will, but just treated the people normally, paid wages for their work, and the prices of grain, sea salt, cloth, etc., were cheap, and they did not collect miscellaneous taxes.
It's as simple as that, and the people keep running here, and they can't stop it.
In fact, the local leaders at the bottom of the Tatar bandit group have also blocked it in various ways.
After Wang De heard this, he should have asked the Liuqiu Guards to find a way to get rid of those blockades! He could not launch a new offensive, but he could not sit back and watch them shut down the people.
After carefully studying Captain Huang Zu's combat records and impressions, they immediately formed a "special team" of 1,500 people, which was specially responsible for small fights.
So, where there is a blockade, there will be a blow!
After being hit many times, those local leaders realized that they were doing a lot of things, and if they recruited those pirates, it would be over, so they didn't dare to block it anymore.
The road to the Shandong Peninsula has been smoothed, and the people in the northern region have one more choice.
The members of the Liuqiu Guard are absolutely glad to have the labor to come, and even the elderly and children can herd sheep and cows, right?
There is no one who is not needed!
They helped pick cotton and help cut wheat, and everyone was annoyed, but no one dared to say a word.
The more labor force, the less labor they participate in.
Wang Defa intends to develop labor-intensive industries, such as the mining industry, the cotton and linen pretreatment industry, and the flour and corn flour industry, which absorbs a large number of laborers------ if they come more, they will be sent to Liuqiu Island, where there is as much labor as there can be digested.
The mobility of labor made the Shandong Peninsula increasingly prosperous, and Dengzhou and Qingdao soon formed new densely populated areas, and seeing more and more urban construction, it is believed that in a few years a new large city will be formed.
However, the desire to fight is also getting higher and higher, and they think that they are such a powerful army, and they are a little aggrieved to nest in the Shandong Peninsula.
Wang Defa said to their domestic boys:
"Aggrieved? You're up against one of the most mobile armies you've ever seen, and any underestimation of the enemy would be a big mistake!
You think if you don't hit them, they'll let you go?!
We and them are natural rivals with the two worldviews that are incompatible, so you should train your troops well!!
One more day of construction, they will be finished for a day, and if we can build for ten years------ we will hunt them down all over the world! ”
Wang Defa's bold remarks are not nonsense, and everyone is very satisfied with the current army building, especially the formation of cavalry.
They have assembled a cavalry of 2,000 men, and there are 3,000 horses!
During intensive training with the Mamluk cavalry, the cavalry selected by the Liuqiu Guards themselves also gradually matured, and they could shoot steadily on horseback without grasping the reins with both hands!
Of course, this can only be ------ in the case of war horse jogging, they are inferior to real Mamluk cavalry.
It was very easy for the Mamluk cavalry to train with the bolt cavalry gun, which was already easier than training the archers------ and the more advanced the weapon, the easier it was to use.
The Mamluk cavalry became more and more impressed by the weapons of the Liuqiu Guard, and as their training continued, their respect for their master, who gave them a strength they never dreamed of!
The captain of the cavalry, Rabihaya, said to the deputy captain Zhang Depei: "Zhang, this weapon is also a threat to our cavalry------"
Vice captain Zhang Depei heard his strange tone, he really wanted to laugh, more than a year, the Great Song dialect is only at this level------ now, if they want to communicate more deeply, they still can't do without the translator.
However, simple communication is barely possible.
Vice captain Zhang Depei said in standard Da Song dialect: "What other craftsman in the world do you think can make this kind of bullet?" ”
After thinking about it for a long time, Rabihaya, the captain of the cavalry team, understood, without bullets, that powerful bolt gun was not as good as a stick!
He said, "Yes, no one in the world can make it except our master!" ”
The big bolt gun is not without shortcomings, in addition to the rate of fire is still slower, its barrel is seriously hung with lead, especially after the use of the rifle line technology, after more than a dozen shots, it is necessary to use a copper brush to brush a gas.
Deputy Captain Zhang Depei said meaningfully: "You wait and see, this is not the best weapon, and the Lord Zhang and the Wang family can't say that they will create new weapons!" ”
And even more powerful weapons?!
The captain of the cavalry, Rabihaya, felt the holster of his bolted cavalry rifle hanging from the saddle, and imagined in his heart, but he could not think of any more powerful weapon than this.
This cavalry team has been training around the Shandong Peninsula many times, and the forward and main forces, as well as the logistics are getting better and better, and they are moving towards regularization.
At the same time, the conscription of the Shandong Peninsula has never stopped, and they are expanding their military strength reasonably and forcefully.
At this time, the local administration on the Shandong Peninsula began to put forward new requirements, and it was not possible to always use the military to govern the localities, right?
The first batch of them who took the initiative to come to the court were accused of the traitor Jia Yidao of making peace with the Tatar bandit group and giving up a good opportunity to regain the lost territory in the north------ moreover, they also expressed their disappointment that the people of the Great Song Dynasty did not support their remarks about resolutely going north.
After they had seen more about Liuqiu Island, they took the initiative to write letters to their former classmates, especially those who were not surprised, introducing them to what an island of opportunity Liuqiu Island was, and also telling them their experiences.
This made Zhang Guoan's island master very happy, and he seduced a lot of students. (To be continued.) )
