Chapter 870: Base

He Yusheng's horses were apparently shipped from the north, and these large animals were very valuable, and many grooms and veterinarians could be seen taking care of them. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Passing through the fence, on both sides are the horse sheds, pig coops, chicken coops, and then a large storage area, most of which are permanent buildings built of burned bricks, and there are also a large number of barracks in the outer construction area, and more than a thousand soldiers in gray robes are practicing on the colonel's field.

Hearing the sound of skilled military trumpets and drills, the people from Li Zhuang couldn't help but burst into tears.

What a familiar picture!

The inner area is the office area of the various departments of the marching division, the school area, and the work area of research departments such as the technical research institute.

Office area, school area, research area, ordnance area, grain storage area, etc.

Zhang Xuwen noticed that there were wells inside and outside the camp, and a small river was being diverted in, gurgling and flowing.

"The river water and the well water have been treated." Chang Wei said to Zhang Xuwen: "The most noteworthy thing here in Taiwan is not only that the environment is complex, there are many enemies and potential enemies, and the most critical threat is the epidemic. ”

Zhang Xuwen praised: "The military doctors of the marching division are really amazing. ”

Chang Wei nodded and said, "They are indeed very powerful......

There was no wine at the luncheon, because Li Shouxin and Jiang Kui and other high-ranking members of the garrison also joined the banquet, and for the sake of fairness, everyone had to refrain from drinking like these officers.

The cuisine is also very southern, all kinds of seafood and fish fresh, in this era, eating meat is the highest justice, the so-called raw seafood is not as tight as later generations, mainly population and transportation, this era has no way to transport a large number of seafood to the inland to participate in the consumption link, so you can only eat seafood in the offshore places, plus the total population and fishing methods are limited, it can be said that China's offshore fishery resources are still incomparably rich, all kinds of seafood on the table are the best of the best, but in the eyes of people, It's not as good as the previous braised pork or roasted mutton.

Before eating, Zhang Xuwen and Li Shouxin and others exchanged a few words, he and Li Shouxin were not familiar with each other, and there were few acquaintances in the entire Fourth Regiment, but Jiang Kui used to be a member of the Attendant Division.

Eating is really eating, Chang Wei sat in the main seat, flicked his chopsticks, and said, "Let's go, everyone." ”

Everyone moved their chopsticks together, and no one drank and sprinkled, and everyone took the braised grouper to eat, and after a while, the cups and plates were in a mess.

Chang Wei finished eating, got up and glanced at everyone, and said: "That's it, today's newcomers are free to move, and tomorrow morning there will be a regular meeting to assign specific duties." ”

Everyone got up, and Chang Wei had already entered the back room with his hands behind his back.

After everyone dispersed, Zhang Xuwen said to Jiang Kui: "Brother Jiang, I want to go out and walk around." ”

Li Pingzhi also said: "I am willing to go together." ”

Jiang Kui said: "You just got off the boat, don't you want to take a break?" ”

Zhang Xuwen smiled: "I don't need it, I'm not very tired." He added: "The same is usually the case with regular political affairs? ”

"In the past, I often talked and laughed, and I also drank during festivals or special events. Recently, I may have heard that the military department has been particularly difficult this year, but not only will the Taiwan side not be able to help, if we start preparing to build a large schooner according to the plan of the Dezhnev, this ship needs to be constantly tested from design to completion, and it will cost a lot of money, plus the test consumption, I am afraid that a ship will cost more than 100,000 taels, and this cost is a bottomless pit. ”

Zhang Xuwen was a little surprised and said, "So expensive? ”

"Dezhnev insisted on using nanmu to build schooners, saying that there is no oak, teak is also less, nanmu is the minimum requirement, we still have a lot of mahogany from Liaodong in the drying room here, this guy is not needed, insist on using the wood that has been dried for several years to do, Fujian has been shipbuilding here, good wood is there, the price is too expensive. What's more, this Dezhnev also said that it is difficult to succeed at one time, and there is no way to calculate a ship of 100,000 taels if we widen it. ”

"I see." Zhang Xuwen nodded very calmly and said: "He should be worried that most of this year's sea trade income will be deducted, and it is difficult to help Datong." ”

"Yes." Jiang Kui said: "Young Master Chang is not worried and sneering, his identity is afraid of this?" It's just that I feel that it has been so long, and the money has been used so much, but the battle has not been fought, Tuntian has just started to have a clue, school, sailors, captains, a thousand things, sometimes, I feel that he is doubting his own ability. ”

"It's already very good!" Zhang Xuwen said: "Brother Jiang take me around, let's feel the veins on the Taiwan side." ”

Jiang Kui glanced at Li Pingzhi, and Zhang Xuwen hurriedly said: "This Brother Li is also the rising star of our Military Command Division, and he is very valued by Lord Sun and Master Zhang. ”

"Don't dare." Li Pingzhi bowed his hand modestly.

Jiang Kui nodded, didn't say anything, and when he waited for the horses to lead, he led the people to the periphery.

When he arrived at the barracks area, Jiang Kui saw Li Shouxin on the side of the road, and shouted: "Commander Li, I want to take people out for a walk, please ask the star officer on duty to release the door." ”

"Wait a minute." Li Shouxin shouted, and then ordered the officers around him to prepare, and after a short while, a team of more than 50 people rushed over on horseback, all of them armed with muskets and bayonets.

Zhang Xuwen whispered: "The situation on Taiwan's side is so tense? ”

Jiang Kui's expression was a little gloomy, he looked left and right, and said: "The situation is a little complicated, recently we are competing with Yan Siqi for the route, everyone is mainly making money in the Wa Kingdom, this is nothing, but now Li Dan is seriously ill, we are on the side of Li Guozhu, Yan Siqi still fought the idea of being in Hirado Port back then, and planned to eat Hirado Island to stand on his own, when he wanted to do this, he was driven away by the Wa State, Li Dan helped him, and now Li Dan is dying, Yan Siqi is bent on taking his position. There is nothing wrong with Yan Siqi's side, but unfortunately we are on the opposite side of him. Now the two sides are safe and sound on the surface, but they are waiting for news of Li Dan's body, Li Dan is fine, it is okay here, Li Dan is fine, there is something here. In addition, the natives on the island are constantly making trouble for us, attacking from time to time, and the Dutch are close to the elbows and armpits, the situation is still very tense. ”

"Turen?" Zhang Xuwen was a little strange and asked: "Didn't the adults say that we should not learn from the Dutch, the Dutch treat the natives very cruelly, and we will be gentle and govern them, so there are still natives attacking?" ”

Everyone got on their horses and walked out, the long fence gate opened in the distance, a squad of soldiers rode out first, scattered into a straggler line to guard, and more soldiers surrounded Zhang Xuwen and Jiang Kui and others and walked out.

"I have to say that adults take this for granted." Jiang Kui didn't want to say more on this topic, so he said a very disrespectful judgment in a muffled voice, and then stopped talking.

The atmosphere was a little dull, there seemed to be dark clouds in the distance, and everyone rode and ran for a while, and they actually felt slightly sweating.

It's just that the climate is very humid, and people in the north feel a little difficult to breathe.

The smell of the sea breeze is evident in the air, after all, it is only a few miles from the coast, and the blue and endless sea can be seen from a little higher ground.

Everyone galloped across the avenue, and the road was obviously the traces of He Yusheng's repair, which should have been a wasteland overgrown with shrubs and weeds.

After running for several miles, there were two or three small villages, and there were also wooden fences and arrow towers on the periphery of the villages, on which stood a few people who looked like people with firearms.

"That's the Tunpu militia." Jiang Kui introduced: "Our main force is usually stationed in the stockade, and there are more than a dozen forts and military platforms built on the periphery of the tunken area. ”

Zhang Xuwen, Li Pingzhi and others looked at the tuntian on the side of the road very carefully, from the camp to these tunpu, five or six miles in a row, the field is about 10,000 acres, planted with some wintering crops.

Taiwan is very suitable for rice, and some plots are obviously preparing for planting rice, and Taiwan has abundant rainfall, and only some measures to divert and store water have been made in the fields, and there are no wells and waterwheels dug everywhere like in Datong.

There are plots of land that are being prepared for planting sugar cane in the spring, and this is the right time for planting.

Taiwan is very suitable for growing sugarcane, which is also the plan proposed by Datong, sugarcane should not only be planted, but also an important crop for large-scale reclamation in the future.

Zhang Xuwen frowned and said, "All of these? ”

There are less than ten miles in total, more than 15,000 acres of land, and there are indeed some garrison military platforms on the periphery.

In the distance, there is greenery everywhere, undeveloped forests and shrubs everywhere, and there are few roads to be seen, at most there are traces of shrubs that have been trodden.

At this time, Taiwan was almost completely undeveloped, even a few hundred years later, when the second generation of the Chiang family presided over the major highway project through Taiwan, the mountains were the same wilderness, and the conditions were very difficult, resulting in ten years of work to build the road, which was hundreds of years later.

While people were stopping, there was also a large herd of deer looming in the bush.

"All of that." Jiang Kui smiled bitterly: "Maybe you think it's relatively little, but when we first came over, these fields were all shrubs, and it was not easy to burn, because there were no dead leaves, so we could only use knives and hoes to solve them slowly." And the most important thing is that we are short of manpower, Yan Siqi and they only moved more than 10,000 people over, most of them kept their own sugarcane and deer hunting and skinning, as well as fishing, we have only made more than 100 households here, more than 600 people, plus we also did it ourselves, and then the army came, the speed of reclamation was accelerated, and there are now more than 10,000 acres of land. ”

"It's a gaffe." Zhang Xuwen thought of the situation just introduced, and said solemnly: "It's really not easy. ”

Li Pingzhi showed a thoughtful look.
