Chapter 394 The Sugar Factory Commencement

Then Zhang San went to the camp of the Marine Corps, guided everyone's training, and by the way, let everyone know and know himself, Zhang San watched more than 2,000 people divided into hundreds of squads to practice team cooperation, so he discussed with Shi Wengong and Yutai Wang Jin to practice some larger formations.

In fact, the big formation is also very simple, nothing more than the shield in front, the pikemen in the middle, and the archers in the back, this formation, the savages have no formation, as long as they withstand a wave of charges, and then kill and injure some of them, the rest is the pursuit.

Then it is to contact some circle formations, after all, savages are cunning, in case of an attack, when one or several teams are besieged, it is necessary to design a self-protection formation to wait for rescue, so it is necessary to determine how many people to send for a patrol team to go out on patrol.

After discussion, everyone unanimously decided that a team of five people, a squadron of five squads, each time to send two squadrons is the most appropriate, such a patrol is enough to resist and defeat the natives of less than 100 people, if according to Zhang San's description, it is estimated that these savage villages are generally about 100 people.

Besides, even if there is a big village, you can still use the method of co-opting, isn't it, if you can't win over, you can directly exterminate it, so that the patrol team will not face a big threat, as for the larger queue to cooperate with the formation, it is better to wait for these people to be more familiar with the military formation and practice slowly, after all, these people are all novices, and the practice is too much and too complicated, they can't remember.

In the next three days, Zhang San participated in the training of three teams of sea ships, and saw the big boss personally board the ship, everyone was more motivated, Zhang San also inspected the recently beaten islands with everyone, these original pirate dens, are now idle, Zhang San wants to find an island closer to Sea Shark Island to build a sugar farm.

In the end, I didn't feel safe after walking around, so I decided to take a break at Sea Shark Island first, and after a few months, I moved the sugar farm to Ryukyu, which is suitable for growing not only rice but also sugar cane.

Then Zhang San went to the island to attend the ceremony of the establishment of the management committee, and then personally selected a group of patrol members to help Ye Tong formulate the patrol route of the patrol team, which is nothing more than some cross-patrols and open and dark whistles.

Ling Zhen and Lao Fei's weapon making workshop, Zhang San also took a day to take a look, Zhang San looked at these craftsmen and children working seriously and busily, and considered whether to allocate more people to participate, so as to free up Ling Zhen and others to study artillery.

After discussing with Ling Zhen, and selecting a group of apprentices to come in, Ling Zhen transferred the weapon research team out and began the development of bronze artillery.

The reason why the bronze cannon was chosen first is also because the bronze cannon is safer, and it can also accumulate more experience to reserve technology for the next step of steel casting cannons.

Let Lehe arrange someone to find a suitable place to set up a workshop, because there is no shortage of materials, it will take more than ten days to build a rough one, Zhang San didn't want to wait so long on the island, so he took Zhang Yuanba back to Hangzhou.

When Zhang San attended the launching ceremony of the Donghai and ran around the sea, Zhang San took Zhang Yuanba back to Hangzhou, and after coming back, Zhang San stayed in the school, teaching these children, and dealing with some things by the way.

Back in Hangzhou, Zhang San did not immediately teach the children, but first gathered the masters in the shipyard to design the whaling ship together, Zhang San threw the size and some other requirements to them, even if the task was completed, the rest will be left to them to ponder slowly, anyway, this matter is not in a hurry.

It took more than ten days to let the children know themselves, and explained some navigation knowledge to the sailors and captains, as well as the living guarantee provided by the dart board for everyone, and encouraged everyone to work diligently.

Weiyuan Dart Bureau's own bodyguard team is also training in an orderly manner, now everyone is waiting for the new ship to be launched, Guan Boss knew that Zhang San came back, and specially visited Zhang San once, and asked Weiyuan Dart Bureau what to do south, Zhang San estimated, there are two or three months, Guan Boss is not in a hurry, ready to follow a Ningbo fleet to try first.

Zhang San didn't stop it, a lot of people also have to eat, Guan Boss suffered this big change, he urgently needs to make a single business to stabilize people's hearts, and he also needs a sum of money turnover, just like Zhang San now, although he keeps shipping money from Tokyo, but the stalls are getting bigger and bigger, and he worries about money every day.

The only good news is that Hangzhou's Yixing Hutchison finally opened smoothly after more than 20 days of preparation, and after playing the Tokyo signboard, it attracted a large number of early diners, where everyone also experienced Peking opera, chess and cards and new gambling tricks, and Yixing Hutchison quickly became famous in Hangzhou.

The canned sea fish has also withstood the test of three months, and Zhang San finally approved the market, at least from the time of processing, it can be shipped to Tokyo in 20 days, and after selling it for another two months, what cannot be sold can be sent to the school canteen and the canteen of various workshops and shops to improve the food.

Zhang San estimated that this kind of canned food that has been steamed by high-pressure steam should last for at least six months, but for the sake of safety, it is summer, so it needs to be further observed.

And with the success here, it is also possible to transport canned beef and mutton from the north to the south, and every year there are a large number of merchants from the Western Xia and Liao countries driving large quantities of cattle and sheep to the border to the mutual market.

This is also because there are too many livestock, the forage prepared in winter is not enough, and in recent decades it is the Xiaoice period, and the winter is particularly cold, so it is necessary to eliminate more old and weak livestock, but after all, the border areas have limited consumption capacity, and they can't go far if they want to transport these weak animals south.

Therefore, often in late autumn, no one wants a large number of cheap livestock, Zhang San can take this opportunity to buy these cattle and sheep back and make canned food, and then transport them south, that is, make money, and make friends, and then buy some horses to ride by the way, it is not a trivial matter.

Calculating the time, the workshop on the side of the sugar factory was also completed, Zhang San immediately took a boat and went to Sea Shark Island, considering this trip to the south, Zhang San specially ordered the three Ruan brothers, Wang Huan and Du Yan to follow together, Zhang Yuanba also brought the whole body drape that he had built, and this time if things don't go well, he may have to attack a few cottages.

They have to deal with the things in hand, and then take a few henchmen, set off to Sea Shark Island in five days, and then make a new ship on the island, this time the south is not so much an exploration, but an armed march, Zhang San hopes to deter these natives at one time, and then get a foothold to start trade and gain a firm foothold for the next step of immigration.
