In that world, the city of Zaozhuang in Shandong Province is known as the "coal market". Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

When Zhang Guoan Island Master crossed, I don't know why the coal there is not easy to sell, and I heard that the economy is not good.

However, in this time and space, even though it is the middle of winter, nothing can stop the enthusiasm for coal mining here!

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, sent them engineering explosives, and they could take advantage of the shallow coal burial here to carry out a large-scale stripping blast, increase the working face, and allow more laborers to participate in mining.

The brick kiln was the first to be built, and Shandong Road originally produced good clay, and there is a historical tradition of building a brick kiln here.

Then build a long-dragon brick kiln to make coke, and at the same time, the soil method of pit coking can not be lost!

As long as it can increase the coke production!

These two coking methods did not have much technical content, and they were quickly learned by craftsmen and spread.

Zhu Qing, who was opening the Huainan Coal Mine, also sent someone to learn from it, and originally thought that this would increase the supply to Liuqiu Island------ but this kid was a mother if he had milk, and a considerable part of it was sold to dealers in the Great Song Dynasty.

Although the return is fast when it is sold to Liuqiu Island, it is necessary to send it to the door by yourself and sell it to the dealers of the Great Song Dynasty, and the people will pull it themselves, which will save trouble.

The Laiwu Smelter built four parallel blast furnaces at the same time, which were built according to the model that was easiest for the craftsmen to operate, because they were the main technical force of the smelter.

As long as the sale of pig iron is not a major issue, the smelter will be able to exert its own vitality.

Their previous pig iron ingots were all taken over by Liuqiu Island, and they also gave back the necessary funds and materials, and thus they began to enter a healthy development.

As the work was carried out, the Liuqiu Guards slowly withdrew from the ranks of labor, they were the army after all, and they had to defend the development of this place.

They began to plan for the defense of the entire Shandong Road, and at the same time built a more precise sand table.

The whole idea is divided into two parts, one is within Shandong Road, and the other is outside Shandong Road.

Let's start with the territory.

First of all, they want to improve the situation of Shandong Road.

After thousands of years of development, the basic road of Shandong Road is not bad, but some seriously damaged places still need to be repaired by manpower, even if it is with Sanhe soil.

They completely abandoned the idea of building city walls, and changed to a multi-level pass defense method in key areas, with garrison forces and mobile forces as supplements.

At this time, Captain Bao Wei said to everyone during their discussion: "In this way, we need long-range strike artillery, but the current artillery is too close------ it is useless to have ideas and no military equipment." ”

Everyone knows their current situation, and in the end they have to say, let's talk about the requirements, Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, will definitely have a way.

I hope so.

They need to hit 500 to 800 meters of artillery, if combined with rockets, it is completely possible to hit one or two rounds of attacks when the brigade of men and horses charges------.

The Tatars even had artillery.

After receiving the letter from the half-sized children, Zhang Guoan did not stop for a moment, and directly replied that he was ready to meet the artillery with a range of about 1,000 meters, and he could use this data to design a defense!

Zhang's words have always been right, and they were immediately happy, what is the concept of a thousand meters?

If they train well, they can play three rounds!

Domestic, they also need a paramilitary force that sits somewhere between the members of the Rouqiu Guard and the laborers!

In fact, it is the basic militia.

Captain Bowie had to send out personnel to question the ordinary laborers.

"Is life good on Shandong Road now?"

"Okay, I'm tired------ but I can earn money, I can eat well, I can wear warm clothes, and I don't have to pay taxes, and I can't see the vicious tax collectors and lackeys anymore."

"It's just that you don't have to pay taxes for a few years now, and you may have to pay ------ in the future"

"This is nature, help me get through the current difficulties!"

"But what if the Tatar bandit group doesn't allow us to live a good life in Shandong?"

"I'm willing to go to the battlefield and fight hard!"

"No, no, that's not used------ you can use arquebuses, you can fire crossbow arrows, and most importantly, keep the stability of the place and don't let the Tatars infiltrate!"

Yes, that's the use, they don't need to go to war, as long as they can ensure the stability and security of their own place------

Guarding Shandong Road like an iron bucket is a dream, and a small group of people can still penetrate it.

At this time, even a little resistance can buy time for the team members to exterminate!

Fortunately, those laborers are really satisfied with their current life, and they are really willing to be this basic militia, which can be seen from the fact that they can still take the initiative to participate in military training after labor.

After seeing them report such preparations, the island owner Zhang Guoan was very relieved, and he was able to come up with this method, which shows that the half-grown children are really mature!

What is cohesion? It's not about protecting you, it's about protecting yourself, protecting a way of life, that's true unity.

Usually, you live a happy life by yourself, you don't care about how others live, if something happens, you shout slogans for everyone to unite and resist something, you really have a brain in the water, don't listen to empty slogans------ don't believe it, you try such a result!

For the overseas arrangements of Shandong Road, their plans are more thorough.

Three sets of preparations.

The first is to fix the fine work. In the places where the Tatar bandit groups might station troops or gather troops, they had to be arranged.

The second is mobile fine work, which can be linked to fixed fine work, exchange information with each other, and can also pay attention to some blind spots.

The third is mobile exploration horses. During the two years of training with the Mamluk cavalry, the cavalry corps belonging to the Liuqiu Guards was finally formed.

However, the island lord Zhang Guoan was still reluctant to let them go to the battlefield immediately to fight with the Tatar cavalry, this should be done by the Mamluk cavalry, they had already been given the corresponding salary and treatment, and they also fully understood their identity.

The Liuqiu cavalry can act as their alternates, and more importantly, as scouts, and all military information within a radius of 100 miles must be fully mastered!

If these three monitoring systems are in normal operation, there is basically no problem.

Of course, the Tatar bandit group also attaches great importance to espionage work, and the forces that come from robbery have the habit of stepping on it.

However, Zhang Guoan is confident that their understanding of espionage is definitely not as good as his own.

The winter of Shandong Road passed like this.

The Tatar bandit group definitely did not sleep, and they also knew about the behavior of the Liuqiu people on Shandong Road.

This is another Li Tan rebellion, but it is far more terrible than the last one.

The big leader, Kublai Khan, smoked his pipe unhurriedly, and the more he smoked, the more he tasted it, and the more graceful he became.

Regarding the situation on Shandong Road, he reported it to him almost once every two or three days.

He basically knew what the Liuqiu people were doing there.

He devised a way to lure the snake out, and was trying to talk to a few ministers. (To be continued.) )
