Wang Zheng and Xiao Er sighed on the Qingdao wharf, only by relying on the power of Liuqiu Island can this wharf be built from scratch, and it has become the most important wharf in Shandong!

Over the years, it has been built non-stop, making it much larger and more convenient to use than the earlier Mizhou or Dengzhou wharves in Shandong. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The laborers used on this wharf may have been more than those of the Eight Rivers wharf, and there were more aliens in terms of the color and appearance of those laborers.

They are all prisoners of war?!

The team members who patrol around with muskets on their backs may prove it.

Captain Bowie took the time to greet the two friends on the docks------- they hadn't seen each other for several years, and the old friendship had not faded.

The three of them hugged each other affectionately on the dock, laughing and talking about each other's bodies getting stronger.

Captain Bao Wei said: "When the front line is tight, it is me, the captain, who is relaxed------ Captain Guo Beyu has been in Dengzhou, and he asked me to say hello to you on his behalf." ”

The war plan has been formulated, and the specific combat methods are still to be completed by the front line itself, and it is relatively difficult to have unexpected events in the war of this time and space.

Xiao Er looked at Captain Bao Wei's army uniform and epaulettes on his shoulders with some envy, perhaps because of his career and status, in the past few years, Captain Bao Wei has a kind of majesty that soldiers inadvertently show------ he is now far from being amiable and cute, and even a little clumsy little friend in the past!

Wang Zheng was very satisfied with the construction of the Qingdao Port wharf.

Laborers in liuqiu overalls on the wharf are running back and forth, and the tower cranes on the wharf are controlled by more than a dozen laborers, and tons of goods are placed underground.

Wang Zheng counted the number of tower cranes, but he didn't count them for a while.

He asked Captain Bowie.

Captain Bao Wei said proudly: "There are two hundred and twenty in total!" In addition to not using a steam engine to operate, the number of tower cranes here exceeds that of Badaohe Port!! ”

"Those aliens, you can use them at ease?"

"Don't worry! Most of them were forcibly recruited by Tatar robbers------- they worked for whomever they worked, not to mention that they were well fed and warmly clothed with us?!

Of course, you still need to be guarded, otherwise you will always be lazy! ”

Xiao Er finally happily concluded: "Haha, as long as you have the opportunity, you can be lazy, which race, which color is the same!" ”

At this time, the fleet led by Xiao Er and Wang Zheng were all moored in place, and the tower cranes on those berths were happily waving their long poles and constantly lifting.

The three of them returned to the barracks from the docks, and Captain Bao Wei entertained the two friends, the supplies they sent this time were too important.

3,000 solid Eucommia rubber tires, with which it will make transportation faster; 10,000 pieces of cotton clothing------ of course, this is not enough, it is also necessary in winter; With the increasing number of prisoners, there was a shortage of clothes and other materials that had already been solved.

Most of those captives belonged to the absolute lower class of the Tatar army, and before they were captured, it was good to have a few pieces of linen to cover their bodies, but on the side of the Liuqiu Guard, they couldn't let them all go without bunkers, right?

Captain Bao Wei once asked Zhang Daozhu for instructions on this, and Zhang Daozhu approved it without thinking about it.

This is not because there is a surplus of clothes on Liuqiu Island------ but it is still easier to sell, especially in the Great Song Dynasty.

In the eyes of the Great Song Dynasty people, the Liuqiu Island-style clothing is quite awkward, but because it saves fabrics and is centrally processed, it is far cheaper than the Great Song Dynasty clothing, and it quickly became popular among the people of the Great Song Dynasty.

The cloth shoes with the rubber sole of Eucommia are far stronger and more durable than the shoes of the Great Song Dynasty, so they are easy to sell.

Whether it is a garment factory or a shoe factory, as long as there are businessmen who want to open it, Wang Defa's family is willing to provide hand-cranked sewing and sewing machines, and they can also buy on credit.

At present, similar small processing factories have sprung up on Liuqiu Island------ which is what the owner of Zhang Island is happy to see, when can they completely dump all the low-level processing industries to do it, and then the initial results will be achieved.

Zhang Island Master has the ability to provide the clothes that those captives need, to be able to eat and dress warmly, this is the basic requirement of human beings, if it is a little better, it is enough to influence people.

As long as you work hard, you will get an equal reward in line with your status------ which has long been one of the concepts on the island.

Therefore, Wang Zheng and Xiao Er also brought corresponding logistics materials by the way this time------ and there were also a lot of other military supplies, so it was inconvenient to say them one by one.

Captain Bao Wei invited two friends to eat game in the barracks canteen, mainly pheasants and roe deer.

For Wang Zheng and Xiao Er, they have eaten enough of all kinds of seafood, and this kind of game is enough to make the two of them have a great appetite.

The three of them ate merrily and drank some fruit wine.

Almost simultaneously, the two men asked Captain Powe to give a detailed account of the contact with the Tatar cavalry.

Of course, they had read the report in the Liuqiu Times, and they had also seen individual military reports, but they were not detailed enough, and there was nothing interesting about them.

Captain Bowe then told them anecdotes about the last two encounters with the Tatar cavalry.

The first contact battle took place shortly after the beginning of spring.

The Liuqiu Guard ambushed a Tatar cavalry unit from Daimyo Road in the Texas area southeast of the Imperial River.

To be precise, this cavalry unit was a motley force, a prisoner of Kublai Khan's chief and the Ilkhanate and the Kipchak Khanate, who had divided their brothers between the Ogedai Khanate and the Chagatai Khanate.

This is a cavalry force composed of more than ten nationalities, counting all men, a total of 50,000 horses, claimed to be 200,000.

This army was led by the Ilkhanate's general Hua Buri Hua as the main general, and the right Cheng Zhang Hongfan as the deputy general------- if strictly speaking, this was actually a force composed of slaves.

However, they are slaves and have no freedom and identity of their own, but to the local common people, they are fierce and vicious!

Captain Bao Wei paused here and said, "In the beginning, we handed over all those captives to the common people to take care of the mining and the like------- but it turned out that the mortality rate was too high, and the common people hated those who came from places they didn't know where to kill people!"

Those guys even had to rob all the potatoes and sweet potatoes in the people's homes before they were willing to -------"

Wang Zheng said coldly: "There is a problem with the military needs of the garrison in Zhuozhou?!" ”

"They don't have a military supply at all, and they can grab it wherever they go!"

Speaking of this, Xiao Er shook his head and said, "Their big boss can make it?" ”

"No, no, the Tatar bandit group has given the main force of the Tatar cavalry------ let them eat the rest!

It is estimated that their big boss also has a headache, otherwise they can't be allowed to take the lead------"

The construction of the so-called Imperial River began in 608 AD.

At that time, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty requisitioned more than 1 million migrant workers in Hebei, built the Yongji Canal, led the Qin water to the Yellow River in the south, and reached Zhuo County in the north.

In 610 A.D., the Jiangnan Canal was dug in the south of the Yangtze River, and the water of the Yangtze River was diverted from Jingkou to the current Lin'an City.

So far, the Grand Canal that runs through the north and south, takes Luoyang as the center, Lin'an in the south, and Zhuozhou in the north, with a total length of more than 5,000 miles.

In the more than 100 years since the Great Song Dynasty moved south, the so-called Royal River has long been unable to be used as a waterway, and Captain Bao Wei sent people to investigate, and there are more than 100 collapsed places on the bank of this river, almost completely blocking the river!
