Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, was very well prepared for the war. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

He can guarantee the supply of the 1,000 soldiers of the Lu family who came here and the 14,000 soldiers who took the initiative to go to the Shandong Peninsula.

At present, he has 40,000 members of the navy and army on the Shandong Peninsula, and he still has 5,000 members and nearly 1,000 patrol and tax police on the main island of Liuqiu, so it is enough for self-protection at present.

But Wang Defa was a little worried, and he rushed back from the copper mines in the north of Liuqiu.

In that world, the copper mines had been mined for decades during the Japanese Warlords...... They had seen the information that the Japanese war leaders had mined nearly 8,000 tons of copper there.

Wang Defa calculated that as long as he could mine half of it, he would be able to issue Liuqiu coins all over the world, and during this period, there were copper ore imported from Japan, as well as the tailings and slag that went to the Great Song Dynasty to directly develop their copper smelting.

Of course, it will be necessary to wait until the Liuqiu Copper Mine has trained enough technicians before it can be developed.

The largest copper mine in Asia is still in the Great Song Dynasty, and their ancient copper smelting technology is too poor, and the copper content of their tailings and slag is still very high.

Their discards can be seen as finished ore of some sort.

Wang Defa came back and said: "The operation face of the Liuqiu copper mine has been completely opened, and now only the ore is left, and it is estimated that it will take several months to save it, and then after the beneficiation begins, it is worth refining it by concentrated sulfuric acid leaching method."

Why don't I go to the Shandong Peninsula and have a look...... There are so many people, they won't be able to take care of them for a while. ”

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, asked, "Fa Tsai, how are those captive laborers working?" ”

"Excellent! A few team members can supervise all the manpower of a single operation surface...... They all know their three-year working experience, and they have wages and bonuses to get them, and they are quite motivated to work.

Guoan, think about it, 40,000 miscellaneous troops are really enough for them to drink a pot, I'll go and see! ”

"Don't work too hard, since you came back, when have you rested? I don't approve of you going to ......"

"It's all right...... The more tired I get, the more motivated I become, and we will have a day to enjoy in the future! ”

Wang Defa smiled lightly, this is all for himself......

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, could only let his friends go.

Wang Defa brought a pot camel machine to Liuqiu.

Wang Defa also brought steam hammers, extruders, stamping machines, shearing machines, grinding machines, milling machines, boring machines and planers to Liuqiu...... Almost by himself, he built a machining center here on the basis of Zhang Guoan's previous owner, and trained relevant technicians.

The rest is only to wait slowly for yourself to copy yourself.

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, equipped him with all the service staff, except for him to do it himself technically, the rest, he didn't have to worry about everything.

At the beginning, Wang Defa himself was embarrassed, he couldn't even pour his own face water, right?

However, he soon enjoyed the comfort of this service.

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, said: "That's right...... We are not masochists, what a great task from heaven will be bitter or something, it is all, and the pain is generally caused by not getting the corresponding return! ”

Wang Defa thought so.

Just as he was about to set off for the Shandong Peninsula, the Mamluk cavalry arrived at the port of Liuqiu Badaohe.

Their arrival has brought a bit of a special feeling to this summer.

Wang Zheng and Xiao Er returned, and in their caravan, the tall five-masted ship was particularly eye-catching, and it was it that brought back five hundred Andalusian horses with one ship!

The other ships only carried more than 100 horses......

The five-masted ship had its own dedicated dock in the port of Badaohe.

When the Andalusian horses, all of which were basically more than 1.6 meters tall, were quietly pulled off the springboard, Lu Wenhuan's eyes turned red......

He said with a crying voice: "Island Master Zhang, you went to the West to buy war horses, why don't you take my Lu family's share?" I'm afraid that my Lu family won't be able to pay the money......"

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, looked at those war horses with well-proportioned and strong torsos, deep and plump, long limbs and shoulders, rich in muscles, and inclined and elastic...... They've obviously been chosen, and they're so pretty.

"It was in the middle of the war, and it happened ......suddenly," he said.

Lu Wenhuan was about to jump to his feet and said, "Are you still going to buy it?!" ”

"Of course I'm going to buy it...... Don't you see that there are two more five-masted ships in the dock to go to sea? ”

"My Lu family wants a thousand horses!"

"Wait, don't jump...... Five hundred at most, and you'll have to be paired with sailors who can go to sea, and you'll have to try the sea......"

"I can sail as many sailors as you want! The Lu family wants at least 800 horses!! ”

"Six hundred at most, don't you bargain...... Didn't you know you could buy cavalry before? ”

"The cavalry is the god of the army, where did you think that someone could betray you before?!"

Well, Zhang Guoan thought to himself, he actually has something similar to their Great Song people, not to mention the second brother......

When Lu Wenhuan knew the price of these war horses and cavalry, he was even more angry!

He only bought it for two hundred pairs of plate armor and rope armor, and a hundred Liuqiu jade cups, as well as some pepper noodles and cotton linen, and he was also a slave soldier, so angry that he wanted to roll on the ground!

It's so immoral!

Two hundred pairs of armor are only one million yuan, and they are produced by themselves, and the rest is not for me to give to the Lu family!

It's so immoral!

Lu Wenhuan smiled dryly and said, "Island Master Zhang, this slave cavalry, sell me for two million...... I can also give you these 1,000 soldiers...... Can? ”

The owner of Zhang Guoan shook his head and said: "I beg for those who have committed crimes, but there are no slaves...... They are still mercenaries! ”

"Sell me the Lu family, can you sell it for five million?"

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, said: "The second group of caravans will go to sea in a month and come back in eight months, will you send someone?" ”

Lu Wenhuan knew that he wouldn't sell it if he changed it, and at their level, money was just a number.

Five hundred cavalrymen riding this An's war horse are definitely the last force that can save their lives in this era......

Lu Wenhuan could only keep his mouth shut, otherwise the saliva might come out.

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, examined the so-called slave cavalry...... In their hometowns, they were sold to large families from an early age, and they began military training when they were half old.

Unlike the Tatars, who lived on horseback, they took this as a profession...... This is also more familiar with horses than the Great Song people.

The slave cavalry, like the war horses, had some unexcitement, which was caused by a long time at sea.

He decided to cut a long story short and let the returning merchant act as an interpreter.

"My cavalrymen, from now on, you are free men!"

The cavalrymen looked at each other, they could hardly believe that this was true, and the tall young man in front of them, who had been their new master, suddenly opened his mouth to say such a thing!

Zhang Guoan's island lord looked at the expressions of the cavalrymen in front of him, who were shorter than the Great Song people, and knew that they didn't quite understand his words......

"Your freedom is for you to participate in the war, and after five years, you can choose your own way out...... Whether you continue to be a soldier, return to your hometown, or stay here to live, it's all your own choice.

During this period, I will pay you fifty dollars a month! ”

The returning merchant had probably converted fifty cents into their local currency, and the cavalrymen cheered!

I don't know what they're shouting...... Zhang Guoan, the island owner, looked at the returning merchant who had made great contributions.

The returning merchant said happily: "They are assuring Allah of absolute loyalty to you, my great and glorious Lord Zhang!" ”

Next, they came to kiss the toes of Zhang Guoan's island owner one by one.

It actually didn't make him feel comfortable at all...... But the merchant said it was a ritual for the Mamluk cavalry to show their loyalty.

When they were all done kissing, he felt that his feet were numb, and it was really uncomfortable...... He's going to get rid of their habit.

On the five-masted professional transport ship, only two war horses died, which proves that their design is reasonable.

There were also Arabian horses on other ships, but it was a pity that more died.

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, is more concerned about the durability of this trade route.

He invited the Hui merchant and Wang Zheng and Xiao Er to his house, and then made a few dishes by himself, of course, he still had to pay attention to religious issues.

He made vegetables in a row, and only one roasted lamb chops were ...... Those who have just returned from going to sea must prefer green vegetables.

Sure enough, the three of them ate happily.

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, was pleased to see that the Hui merchant skillfully used chopsticks. (To be continued.) )
