Early in the morning of the 22nd, Zhang Wei and his party began to return, this time not on the way they came, but chose to return to Pontianak through Cedars Town and Mandol Town. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The road from Shokos to Ceidas is only slightly smoothed and not widened, but it is good compared to the rest of Kalimantan. Even in the previous life, it was still very backward, and the transportation was still mainly inland shipping, and the land transportation was minimal, and there was not even a highway. However, the environment on both sides of the road is indeed good, green mountains and green waters, evergreen in all seasons, if developed, it is definitely an ideal rubber plantation, the soil is fertile, the climate is humid, it can be suitable for the growth of most crops, and the restricted traffic is still the road, if you want to get rich, you must build the road first.

Since it was a horseback ride, the speed was not slow, and we arrived at the town of Cedars very early in the afternoon.

The 9th battalion is stationed here, and the battalion commander is simply flattered when he learns that the young master is coming, and he doesn't know what he should do.

Zhang Wei looked at his nervous appearance, asked Xiao Yu'er through his thoughts, and learned that the battalion commander's name was Zhao Quan, and hurriedly said: "Battalion Commander Zhao, don't be nervous, we will meet often in the future, just get used to it." You arrange for someone to prepare water first, we need to take a shower, we are covered in stinky sweat, and you can arrange some simple meals. ”

"Yes, young master," the battalion commander ran out to make arrangements.

After dinner, Zhang Wei chatted with Camp Chief Zhao for a while to learn about the situation on the front line.

"Is there anything inconvenient about stationing here now?"

"Young master, everything is fine, very easy, all the indigenous miscellaneous servants are now very diligent, taking care of all the logistics, and the soldiers are mainly training and supervising, and recently supervising the construction of the road widened by the natives to the town of Shokos."

"Not only to build roads, but also to organize these women and do some things they can do, such as growing vegetables, fishing, catching shrimp, raising pigs, raising chickens and sheep, etc., which are very good, even if they let them work, they can improve your life, anyway, we can't let these natives be idle, we don't raise idlers." Zhang Wei said.

"Yes, young master, I will definitely strengthen the management of this aspect in the future."

"What are you missing here, I will leave you tonight, tomorrow morning you arrange someone to make breakfast early, we will leave very early, you go down first to count the missing supplies."

"Yes, young master"

Zhang Wei and Han Xin walked around the town, and Han Xin looked at their defenses. This is basically the center of the territory he occupies, and there is little danger in it, but the battalion commander is still very tightly arranged, and the open and dark posts are matched with each other, which is very in line with the requirements of the operating procedures.

In the evening, the battalion commander handed over the list of required supplies to Zhang Wei, who took a look and felt that they were all ordinary ammunition, as well as some food, and there was not much to do. I went to the warehouse with the battalion commander, exchanged all the useless loot here to the system, and bought the materials needed here from the system.

Han Xin also found the battalion commander and specifically explained to the battalion commander his attitude towards the natives, these people must know about our massacre of the natives, since the seeds of hatred have been planted, we can't let them escape, and when necessary, all of them will be executed in secret, leaving no handle.

Early in the morning of the 23rd, Zhang Wei set off for Mandor Town after breakfast. The road to Mandor is also not easy to walk.

When he arrived in Mandor, it was lunch time, and Zhang Wei did not do anything special, but ate with the soldiers, which can be regarded as experiencing grassroots life.

After eating, he took a bath, and after a short rest, he visited Mandor's defensive position with Han Shin and the battalion commander. Mandor Town is currently the most important strategic point for Zhang Wei, only 30 kilometers from here to Pontianak, and only 60 kilometers to Yamaguchiyang, which can be regarded as the forward position for attacking these two places, and the Dutch troops must also occupy this town if they come, otherwise it will be easily cut off. From this visit, Zhang Wei and Han Xin also understood why the news was leaked.

For such an important place on the land, Mandor Town, which has been cut off from traffic, and no one has been going back and forth for such a long time, it will definitely be suspected, and if someone were sent to observe, the problem would be found from a long distance, and this place has been occupied by unknown troops. These patrolling soldiers, as well as trenches and machine-gun forts, were easily identified.

Zhang Wei still instilled the idea of making full use of the natives to this battalion commander Zhao, and asked him to strengthen the management of these natives, not to run away, we slaughtered the natives, some of these people will definitely know, if the matter is spread out, it will definitely be unfavorable to us, so when necessary, all these natives will be solved secretly, and do not leave traces. And asked the battalion commander to mention the missing or insufficient materials here, and Zhang Wei made up for him.

In terms of defense, Han Xin explained to the battalion commander that this place is extremely important and cannot be lost, and the logistics of the 7th Battalion must also be supplied from here, otherwise the 7th Battalion will become a lone army and it will be difficult to survive. It is necessary to build a few more solid machine-gun forts and bunkers, it is better to form a network of crossfire, and build a few more blockades, anyway, there are many natives now, just let them work.

After arranging the affairs of Mandor Town, the group got on their horses and rushed to Pontianak.

When I returned to Pontianak, it was almost dark.

Zhang Wei came back on time, which reassured James a lot, and now he is afraid of affecting the exchange of gold, which is a reputation that has been established with great difficulty.

"Young master, you finally came back on time, it's really worrying me."

"You're worried about your exchange."

"Young master, don't say that, I'll be embarrassed."

After coming back, Zhang Wei didn't have much to do, so he went to put the silver exchanged by James into the system first, and put it outside for a minute, it would be more dangerous, and it would be safe to put it in his own system warehouse. And only then go to the shower. It's not an exaggeration to say that he is a money obsesser.

Han Xin was busy sorting out the information he had collected in the past few days, hoping to find something valuable, and he was so busy that he even forgot to take a shower, and he didn't come back to his senses until dinner. Hurried to take a shower and then came back to eat.

After the meal, he told Zhang Wei about the situation that had happened in Pontianak in the past few days. The Dutch administrator in Pontianak also discovered the irregularity in the inland area and sent people out to investigate, but the specific information found was not known for the time being. The tax officer stationed in Pontianak has also noticed the recent sharp drop in tax revenues and is looking for the cause.

The Chinese people in Yamaguchi and Pontianak also have a sensitive sense of smell, and they have been discussing something recently, but it will take 2 days to get accurate information.

Zhang Wei's reply is to wait and see, and now do nothing, just wait, wait for the system to be upgraded, and wait for the naval project to be unlocked; The other is to exchange silver, which will be added to a large amount next month, and several consuls are coming to negotiate on behalf of the country, as long as James can negotiate well, the amount will definitely be not small.
