Chapter Ninety-Six: Forming a Fleet of Ships Dong Cai Leads the Heavy Task

The site was determined, Yang Xi did not dare to slack off, so Pang Tong resigned as the director of the Institute of Chemistry, and another capable person in the institute was promoted, and Pang Tong was transferred to Wuchang County by Yang Xi to be the director of Wuchang Port.

At this time, Pang Tong did his best to Yang Xi's true biography, of course, it was the part that had already been written. Pang Tong was thirteen years old and took charge of Wuchang Port, which caused a sensation in the "Chenhe Ten Daily" at that time.

But no one said anything, Pang Tong has achievements.

First, he led the school's chemistry team to extract phosphorus and lay a good foundation for making matches. Subsequently, under the guidance of Yang Xi, phosphate rock and other materials were used to develop phosphate fertilizer.

This is terrible, the fertilizer at this time is artificial fertilizer, that is, people pull it themselves, plus plant ash.

Grass ash is potassium fertilizer, with phosphate fertilizer, it is equivalent to chemical fertilizer, the field is no longer short of elements, not to mention the increase in yield, the increase in fertile land, the increase in yield.

This kind of contribution is all on the "Chenhe Ten Daily".

This year, in the steelmaking process, manganese was added to create high-manganese steel, which was used to make various large machinery and even a good material for rails, according to Chairman Yang Xi in the newspaper.

Constantly reported, and constantly praised by President Yang Xi, Pang Tong is the director of Wuchang Port, which is well deserved.

Pang Tong followed behind Yang Xi and reluctantly left the laboratory where he had stayed for several years, full of pride and ambition.

"Shiyuan! I put you out of the laboratory and become the director of Wuchang Port, there is a deep meaning, do you understand? ”

Pang Tong said: "Understood! If the principal wants to promote science and technology to the whole world, there will inevitably be many obstacles, and the sergeants are the biggest resistance. Wuchang Port is located in the hinterland of Jingzhou, a major traffic point, up to Xiangyang, west of Changsha County and even Yizhou, east of Yangzhou, extremely important. If Pang Tong is in charge, the Pang family and other families will have more opportunities for cooperation. ”

Yang Xi nodded and said: "Shiyuan is really a lot more mature, based on the world, when we talk about strategy, attack the heart first, we have to step by step, dismantle the existing system, we must integrate into them, from the inside."

After you take office, in addition to completing the task of building a port and establishing a business channel, you must also be prepared to accept refugees and defectors from all walks of life. I want to see the port of Wuchang, which within a year will be called the most prosperous port among the four ports in the south, and Wuchang County will become the largest city in the south in the future. ”

Pang Tong secretly thought in his heart: Principal, you are amazing, I, Pang Shiyuan, I didn't dig it out from within the Shi clan, and you sent me to dig the foot of the wall, but I just wanted to.

"Principal rest assured, Pang Tong and the principal have the same aspirations!" Pang Tong's eyes were full of determination.

This is the power of faith, and Yang Xi has now become the faith of many people.

After the establishment of Wuchang County, the production of Chenhe Dockyard also began to produce large ships from scratch.

Now the production capacity of the Chenhe dock has been greatly improved, and it is expected that one giant ship will be produced in three months, and five Chenhe series will be produced at the same time.

The other four ship ports all have giant ships in service, Donglai Port is the Yellow River, Chenhe Port is the Yangtze River, Pengze and Chaisang are Kunlun and Tianshan, and Wuchang Port naturally needs giant ships to suppress it.

So more than two months later, the Wuchang was launched.

After almost half a year of transformation, Wuchang County was officially integrated into the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce.

At this time, 300,000 Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou in the north arrived in Bohai County, preparing to join up with another peasant army, the Black Mountain Army. Gongsun Zhan, the commander of the captive school, led 20,000 cavalry to meet the Yellow Turban from the garrison Youzhou, and the second army launched a fierce battle in Dongguang. Gongsun Chan broke the yellow scarf and beheaded more than 30,000 people.

The Yellow Turban Army abandoned its baggage and crossed the Yellow River to the south. Gongsun Chan set up an ambush on the side of the Yellow River, and suddenly attacked when the Yellow Turban crossed halfway, the Yellow Turban Army died tens of thousands, and the blood flowed like a river, and Gongsun Chan captured more than 70,000 people of the Yellow Turban, and countless cars and property. With its merits, the imperial court worshiped Gongsun Zan as the general of Fenwu and was named the Marquis of Ji.

At this time, Yuan Shao had already occupied Jizhou, so Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao fought again.

In the autumn of this year, Cao Cao's Montenegrin peasant army led by Yu Poison, Bai Huan, and Zheng Gu attacked Wei County, Dongjun and other places, and Dongjun Taishou Wang Qiu could not resist.

Yuan Shao sent Cao Cao, who was subordinate to him at the time, to bring troops into Dongjun in order to develop his own power. Cao Cao broke the White Ring Division of the Black Mountain Army in Puyang.

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were the Taishou of Dongjun and changed to Dongwuyang.

Yizhou Mu Liu Yan ordered the superintendent Sima Zhang Lu and Sima Zhang Xiu of the other department to attack and kill the Hanzhong Taishou Su State, cut off the Bao Slope Road (the ancient north-south passage connecting the Qinling Mountains, 700 miles from the beginning to the end), kill the envoys of the Han court, and claimed that the thieves cut off the road and could not contact the imperial court.

He also used excuses to kill more than ten people such as Wang Xian and Li Quan of the big clans in the state, so as to establish his authority. Liu Yan seized Yizhou.

At this time, Liu Bei, because he had been a classmate of Gongsun Zhan, was still at Gongsun Zhan. Soon, Gongsun Zhan made Liu Bei the prime minister of the plain because of Liu Bei's meritorious service to Tian Kai in Fuqingzhou.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are the Sima of the other department.

At this time, Zhao Yunlai defected to Gongsun Zhan, Liu Bei Shen accepted it, and Zhao Yun attached himself to Liu Bei.

In the winter of 191, the area controlled by the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce had a population of 250,000, and the sixth giant ship Zhujiang and the seventh giant ship Wuyi were launched, with more than 10,000 guards.

So Yang Xi's other idea is to put it into action.

At this time, people, especially in the north, will die in large numbers in winter, and in addition to the lack of food, there is also the most important reason, that is, there is no cotton.

There is only one kind of kapok, which is only used to fill pillows, but not for weaving.

If you wear linen clothes, no matter how much you wear them, more than ten degrees below zero, how strong your physique will be to be able to stand it.

Therefore, every year there are no fewer people who starve to death and freeze to death than in war.

Now the Chenhe factory has popularized the water conservancy spinning technology, and the four counties have vigorously promoted it, and then the weaving improvement technology has been instructed to be disseminated. Now that jute has become cloth, it has also reduced the cost a lot.

Next, Yang Xi is going to look for cotton.

Where is cotton? Far away in India.

So Yang Xi ordered Dong Cai to lead three huge ships, Wuchang, Zhujiang, and Wuyi, 30 Chenhe, and 4,500 ship guards from the ship's camp and camp guards, plus more than 5,000 people, to go out of the Yangtze River, along the coast, and go to India.

Yang Xi drew a detailed map, told them to bring a compass, and held their own hand-held prayer post, asking the coastal counties to give convenience to the caravan.

The goods that Yang Xi brought to them were glass, salt, matches, and so on. These things are absolutely not available in India, and there is no salt drying technology in India today, and the price of a trip is estimated to be many times higher than what you can earn in the country.

Yang Xi only needs gold.

If there are chili peppers, it is best to bring some chili seeds back, Yang Xi is really greedy.

There is no chili pepper in the shabu-shabu, it is simply simple, Yang Xi often sighs.

However, chili peppers are native to South America, and India is estimated to have none at this time.

Dong Cai set out on the first day of November, and the fleet was so powerful that the county town and the navy division near the river were stunned.

Yang Xi was very worried about their itinerary, so he carefully wrote out all the navigation precautions that could be queried in the technology tree, and wrote some Indian customs and customs.

As for the language problem, there is no way, when the time comes, Dong Cai will naturally solve it temporarily, and there is no need to worry about the military aspect, more than 5,000 crossbowmen are enough to sweep through the local area of any country.

On November 10, the "Chenhe 10th Daily" released this news, so all Chenhe people have another expectation.
