"This Yinzhen has also done a good thing!"

Yang Feng said with emotion. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

His location at this time was in the south of modern Liaozhong County, and in front of him was a small town with the atmosphere of the industrial age.

To his right is the Hunhe River, where the coal mined by Fushun Coal is loaded directly onto ships, along the canal repaired by tens of thousands of migrant workers in Yinzhen, and goes straight down to the special wharf here, and then transported by horse-drawn cart to the coking plant not far from the river bank to become coke. To his left is the Taizi River, where the ore mined by the Gongchangling Iron Mine is also loaded on the same place, and enters the Taizi River through the re-dug Tang River and flows down the river to the water. Then the coke and iron ore were sent to the intermediate steel mills to smelt pig iron, wrought iron, and even European mixing steel, which became Yinzhen's steel industry.

"It's full of traverser routines!"

Emperor Yang couldn't help but sigh again.

In this pre-industrial steel base, there are all the things that no plug-in traveler can only dream of, coke ovens, iron-making blast furnaces, Princefa mixing furnaces, and supporting hydraulic forging hammers, this steel-making technology actually produces mainly wrought iron, and the quality of the finished product is very poor, and it must rely on repeated forging to the extent that it can be used. Before the invention of the Bessemer converter, European countries used this technology for hundreds of years, and they used this thing to lay more than 70,000 kilometers of railways, as for the crucible steel, although it was invented in 1740, it was limited to the manufacture of some special products because of the high cost.

In addition, there are various casting machinery and even a primary version of the hydraulic machine tool, in short, it is enough to support a plug-in traverser to realize his imperial dream, saying that Yinzhen can play this step, it is indeed very impressive, but no plug-in is not able to plug-in after all.

"Your Majesty, these are all built by the ghosts for them, and the minister also arrested a lot of ghosts, according to them, they are all hired by the Holy See, but most of them have run away with the Tartars."

Next to Lu Yi said.

"Kill, leave no one!"

Yang Feng said.

These craftsmen can't be kept as slaves, they are all familiar with machinery, in case there is an escape, they will take away a lot of new technologies, although those high-tech factories are actually not allowed to use slaves, but at this time, the Ming technology level, casually take it out is really good for Europe, he doesn't want to make the low-level mistake of leaking Jingdezhen porcelain technology, so the best way is to kill them all.

"Also, pass the order, and the ghosts you encounter on the battlefield will be killed regardless of whether they surrender or not!"

Then he added.

In addition to those adventurers, most of these people are bewitched by the Holy See, with a firm belief to fight against the demons, even now the frequency of their appearance on the battlefield is quite high, and there is no shortage of bloody battles with the Ming army to the last moment, in this case, let them seek mercy!

"Your Majesty, if you build a factory here, this railway must be built."

Zhang Youmo on the other side said.

He is the new governor of Liaoning, and the governor of Heishui, the highest administrator of the Ming Dynasty in the entire Northeast, the main task is to make the number of Han people in this vast land increase as soon as possible, but the trick of immigration reclamation is definitely not good, although the land in the Northeast is fertile, and it is not limited by the area, but it needs to face the harsh winter, at this time, the people of the Ming Dynasty will not immigrate here if they are idle, there are countless good places in the country of abundance in Sichuan waiting to be reclaimed, who can run here if they are full!

The only option is to use mineral resources to attract immigrants.

Fushun Coal Mine and Liaoyang Iron Mine.

This is the only card he has in his hand at the moment.

But the problem is that even if you build a steel plant here, it is useless, because there is no local population and it is impossible to digest the production capacity, so you can only rely on the sale to the mainland, but this has to face the freezing of Liaokou for several months every year, and it is useless if the products cannot be shipped, so if you want to attract immigrants from the Guannai, the first thing is to build the railway here, otherwise everything is in vain.

"Don't worry about this, the railway will be repaired soon."

Yang Feng said.

This railway must be built, from Shanhaiguan to the north to Fushun, and then from the iron mine to Shenyang, to build a large steel plant based on the resources of these two mines, with this steel plant population will naturally increase. Relying on this iron and steel plant, we will continue to build railways to other places, and gradually develop other local resources, such as repairing to the west to Fuxin Chaoyang, digging coal and manganese ore and molybdenum ore there, building to Dandong to connect with the future Goryeo railway, and by the way, developing the lead-zinc mine in Fengcheng, and repairing to the north to the Changchun area, where there are all kinds of ore groups in the east of Panshi, Jiaohe, and Dunhua, especially Huadian has a sandwich ditch.

In this way to mine tempting.

Railways and mines form such a branch-like deep network, with mines there will naturally be factories, and with factories there will naturally be merchants who serve the workers, and there will also be peasants who provide these workers and merchants with food and all kinds of necessities of life, and cities will gradually appear, in short, everything just needs a little time, of course, before the land must be cleared.

It's not just the tartars that need to be cleaned up, but the hairs also have to be cleaned up.

"How many days has the fleet been gone?"

Yang Feng asked Lu Yi.

"It's been exactly half a month until today."

Lu Yi said.

"The average speed is not less than twenty-six miles per hour, six hundred miles a day and night, even if the countercurrent will slow down, it should almost be at the place at this time!"

Yang Feng said.

Well, he is not actually talking about the naval fleet, but the river fleet full of elite soldiers, at this time this huge fleet is sailing on the thawing Heilongjiang River, of course, on the map of the Ming Dynasty, the river is marked as the Heishui River, the name of the Heilongjiang River was first seen in the history of Liao, that is to say, this is from the time of the Khitans, Emperor Yang has recently carried out a lot of retro on the place name, so it has become the black water called in the Tang Dynasty.

"Fire!"

Wang Song, commander of the first detachment of the inland river fleet of the Ming Army, held up the telescope and said.

On the dozens of river gunboats lined up on the river, a fifteen-pound rifled gun suddenly spewed flames, and on a small wooden fortress not far away, the fireworks of white phosphorus shells exploded immediately, and then they were left alone, and the huge fleet continued to sail forward, allowing this fortress to turn into a blazing torch, and also allowed the defenders of a certain stronghold under the rule of the three surnamed deputy capitals of the Heilongjiang general of the Qing Dynasty to turn into ashes in the raging fire.

The same torch began at the mouth of the distant Heishui River, where Nuergandusi was stationed, in modern Russia, and stretched along the long course of the Heishui River.

And this place was called Temple Street in later generations.

Wang Song's fleet came to do this kind of work, because the land route was not at all open at this time, and the only way to sweep the Heishui basin was to take the waterway, and if the water route was from the Songhua River or the Nanhe River on the map of the Ming Dynasty, it would have to build additional ships, so Yang Feng simply transferred his inland river fleet from the Yangtze River. These large inland paddle steamer gunboats, which have just adopted heavy oil boilers, are suitable for sailing on the Heilongjiang River, and you must know that the Russians in later generations even drove thousand-ton ironclad warships here, and Yang Feng's small ships of several hundred tons did not have any pressure at all.

This powerful fleet immediately became a nightmare for the Qing army along the Blackwater.

This is mainly the three surnames of the Heilongjiang general, that is, the Yilan deputy capital jurisdiction, but in fact there are not a few people, mainly a few small outposts along the river, and the main residents are not banner people, but from the Sauron department. Of course, Wang Song doesn't care what nationality they are, anyway, there is no Han nationality, he will destroy a stronghold when he sees one, these river gunboats are equipped with two fifteen-pound rifled guns, and they are the latest rotary gun carriages, according to the requirements of His Majesty the Emperor, with enough white phosphorus shells, this thing is simply devastating for the buildings in this area are all wood.

"It's no fun to do!"

Wang Song held the binoculars, admiring the beautiful scenery of the Qing army in that stronghold, which was covered in fire and stumbled out one by one, and said very boringly.

"I hope the Russians will add some fun to us."

The captain beside him said with a smile.

Well, the real goal of their trip was the city of Yaksa.

The Russian governor in the Far East has moved his governor's palace from Yakutsk to the city of Yaxa, the former is simply not a place for people, more than half of the year is covered by ice and snow, the average temperature is minus 40 degrees, and the lowest can even reach minus 60 degrees, there is such a good place as Yaksa City, who can eat enough to hold there, not to mention that their supplies also rely on water transportation, and the navigation time of the Shilka River is much longer than that of the Lena River.

However, if they were in Yakutsk, Yang Feng would not be able to reach them for a while, but since they were in Yaksa, they were completely looking for their own death.

The Ming army's inland river fleet sailed away from Temple Street, the latest heavy oil boiler burned enough steam, and the huge paddle wheels on both sides rotated at high speed, pushing warships to ride the wind and waves on the river more than 200 zhang wide, and arrived at the city of Yaksa, which is the modern Russian border town of Albazino, in the afternoon of the next day......

"Huh? This is the yaksa that Kang Mazi boasted about? ”

Looking at the small fortress on the opposite bank, which could be said to be a big fart, Wang Song was immediately dumbfounded.

Well, this is actually just a small fortress, although it has a wall up to two meters, but it is only a small city with a circumference of no more than a mile, for these Ming army generals, it is still difficult to understand that almost four times the strength of the force, attacking such a small castle still needs to be besieged for half a year, although the Russians had as many as eight cannons back then, it is much easier for Zheng Chenggong to fight the Dutch than them.

"General, how to fight?"

The captain asked.

"The white phosphorus shells will burn first, and then the infantry will land and prepare heavy rockets, blast through the city walls and then go in to collect the corpses!"

Wang Song said. (To be continued.) )
