Chapter 324: Stuffy Development
Although he brought a lot of medical soldiers and ambulances, it seemed that there was a vicious battle to be fought, but the soldiers and civilians of Huangjiawan Island had confidence in the head of the family, and when they came to the dock to see them off, they told their children to work hard and not worry about their families, and strive to come back with meritorious service.

The soldiers of the Huang family set sail in the blessings of their fathers and villagers, and more than 7,000 people were so lively that all the soldiers were as happy as if they were traveling.
In addition to learning and training on the spliced boat, everyone also changed their entertainment tricks, and the singing and laughter were endless.
The fleet traveled day and night, and three days later, arrived at the port of Fushan.
Lu Chengzu, an official of a thousand households, took Jin Jin, Zhou Qiang, and Chen Jinggong, three hundred household officials, and the Weisuo army, which had been trained for more than half a year, to be inspected by the head of the family, 300 men who used cold weapons, and 200 musketeers, sailors, and gunners held their heads high and were refreshed.
There is no main battle ship under Lu Chengzu, there are five modified No. 6 Fu boats, which are the clippers of the Ming Army's naval division, which are not equipped with artillery, only four guns, and the crew is ten people per boat.
Lord Huang took a group of officers to inspect this new territory, and was very satisfied to see that it was full of vitality, and praised Lu Chengzu and the three hundred household officials.
The Fushan Station has been repaired and reinforced, and a small fortress close to the port has been built like Zhongming Fort, which is only a hundred steps in radius, and it is also a fully enclosed military fort, with high lookout posts lighting fierce fire oil lamps at night to become a lighthouse.
The soldiers and civilians in the Fushan Institute could not enter the Fushan Fort, because there were three up and down gates to control, this fortress only had two gates, the east gate was only 200 steps away from the repaired port wharf, and the west gate was connected to the Fushan.
In doing so, the military and civilians were separated, guarding against the possibility of the fortress being breached from within.
The grain depot of Fushan Institute has been under construction, and four cylindrical granaries that can store at least more than 5,000 stone of grain have been completed, and the designed grain depot should reach more than 200,000 stone of grain, which does not need to be completed overnight, and can be completed in phases within three years.
There are already more than 1,000 households guarding here, including the original eliminated guards, immigrants from Dongjiang Town, and Lu Chengzu also took in some displaced people, each of whom owns 30 acres of land.
Lu Chengzu completely copied the management model of the Huang family, and the bottom line of each household was to send a villager to participate in the training, and he personally trained the villagers for an hour every day, and only stopped to grab the farmer when he was busy.
Since Fushan has a small population of 10,000, some businesses have seen business opportunities and have begun to come here to rent shops to do business, and this momentum will intensify and I believe that it will soon usher in leapfrog development.
There are already a few wealthy people in the surrounding area who are ready to move to Fushan to settle down, and now the land boundary of Shandong is not very peaceful, bandits are rampant, although the guards of Fushan are not much, only half of the general thousand households.
But their combat effectiveness is enough to overthrow the guards of the three Ming Thousand Households, and the combat effectiveness of the Xiangyong here should not be underestimated!
There is no one who does not like the living environment where bandits are extinct, and it will soon become a prosperous port city under the care of Lu Chengzu.
Huang Sheng asked Lu Chengzu to operate here with peace of mind, don't be afraid of causing trouble, no one dares to come here to grab land, and the court will not leave if it comes to transfer.
Of course, such a possibility is relatively small, and no one should dare not give face, deliberately tossing a small thousand military attachés to find the unhappiness of Lord Huang Sheng, who is in the limelight.
Fushan and Huangjiawan Island come and go frequently, there is already a three-day boat, and the frequency will be increased in the future, and the people of the Huang family only charge 50% of the ticket money to and from their own island.
This is like public transportation in later generations, where the government actually subsidizes the citizens.
The Huang family did not consider the profit at all in the development of passenger transport, in order to facilitate circulation, the people can move to have vitality, and the cost of small traders and hawkers will be reduced, so the ticket is originally the cost price, and the people of the Huang family system also enjoy the discount when they buy the ticket with the waist card that proves their identity.
The merchants who run the dock are all shrewd people who see the seams, and the merchant ships from the south to the north have begun to replenish here, not only the Huang family's fleet, but also many foreign merchant ships also moor here for shopping, and even the sea ships that carry water also like it here.
The soldiers not only do not bully people, but also protect legitimate businessmen, and can also go to exterminate bandits and bandits.
There is no need to worry about the safety of the Fushan Station, if anyone really dares to lead troops to attack here, there are fewer people and horses, it is looking for a fight, because with the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, at least more than 5,000 soldiers and horses can fight.
At present, the bandits and bandits in Shandong do not have the strength to attack here, and Jiannu cannot come here at all.
Under Lu Chengzu's command, there are four or five hundred guards and more than 1,000 village warriors, as well as six-pound and four-pound copper-core iron cannons eliminated by ten warships.
It doesn't matter if you can't defeat the enemy, as long as you stick to the castle of Fushansuo, it's only 300 nautical miles, and the sea ships here are constantly coming and going, and the rescue troops will not be able to come from Huangjiawan Island day and night for more than three days after receiving the news.
Huang Sheng left a hundred flintlock rifled guns to Fushan, and replenished four six-pounder guns again, and more than a dozen of the 100 Dongjiang Town immigrants who stayed here had been gunners of the Ming army, and this time they also became gunners of the Weisuo army and received a full military salary of one or two dollars a month.
Although Lu Chengzu, who has been following Huang Sheng, has been doing a good job in Fushan, he saw that his teacher was leaving, and he deliberately talked to the master of the house alone, revealing that he wanted to return to the master, even if he continued to be a loader.
Huang Sheng looked at the reluctant Lu Chengzu and comforted him: "Chengzu, you won't be here for long, as long as you develop to the premise of ensuring the defense of Fushan, you can bring out a hundred generals of cavalry, heavy infantry, and musketeers who voluntarily go to the battlefield to fight with Jiannu, and you will return to the battlefield in Liaodong with your subordinates with the title of Zhengsi Pin." ”
The sullen Lu Chengzu immediately became overjoyed, and he said: "Thank you, my lord, I will definitely step up the expansion of troops and horses." ”
"Remember, don't be impatient, take your time, the soldiers you bring out must be responsible for them, indiscriminate use of the number is harmful to others and yourself!"
"My lord, wake up! failed to meet the requirements of the Huang family, and did not dare to pull it out and be embarrassed. ”
Lu Chengzu is confident that there are people who continue to take refuge here, there is a lot of land to be farmed, the Huang family is not short of money to set up industries here, and Fushan Institute will be able to be self-sufficient immediately.
With money and food, a large number of soldiers, and equipment and weapons produced by the Huang family, it should take less than two years to successfully train an army of two or three thousand.
Lu Chengzu is Huang Sheng's confidant, if he is young and is a five-grade thousand households here, he will lose many opportunities to make meritorious contributions, and there will be no war here in Fushan for more than ten years.
Huang Sheng explained that Lu Chengzu's task was actually to develop here, and with the strength, he could pull up the Shandong team to look for the marquis outside the customs.
There are more than 1,000 nautical miles from Fushan Port to Xiamen, Fujian, and no more than 600 nautical miles to Zhoushan, if the Huang family fleet maintains an average speed of six knots, it is now June that the days are long and the nights are short, and the speed of ships at night can reach less than six knots when they travel day and night, and even so, sailing 120 nautical miles a day can still be completely guaranteed.
Because all the power of the Huang family's warship was used when it sprinted, it could exceed the speed of ten knots when it was smooth sailing, which was at least thirty percent faster than the warships of the same level in this era.
Huang Sheng plans to rush to Zhoushan Island in five to eight days, because although the theoretical calculation is that it can be arrived within five days, it is necessary to take into account the unfamiliar route and weather factors, and need to release the margin.
All in all, the speed of the sail age is very fucking, and no one can say how many knots it can reach. Li Bai has a poem that says: Thousands of miles of Jiangling are still in one day, although the description is exaggerated, it can also show that the ship is very fast, and the speed of the wind and water is more than ten or twenty knots.
And when the boat is slow, I'm afraid it's better to walk, otherwise what are those slender men doing? They pull the fiber, of course, walking slower than usual.
