Chapter 092: Reorganization of the establishment.
Tan Lun received thousands of victims on the first day, and while first letting the victims fill their hunger with porridge, he also sent people around to spread the news that in Longwei Village, Longtian Town, there was news of good people giving porridge for disaster relief. Wu Tianxiao saw that the local government did not care about this, so he asked Xu Hai to assist Jiang Zhuang in transporting the victims to Haitan Island.
At this time, there were fifteen ships on Haitan Island, and the transportation capacity was not small, and it could transport thousands of people in a short distance at a time. After arriving at Haitan Island, he first let the victims eat porridge to recuperate for three days, and then began to recruit young people to join the guards. Then there is the expansion of Haitan Village and the construction of a large number of fire port wharves. With manpower, it's much easier to get things done. When Haitanzhai became a front-line resettlement site for disaster victims, it was provided with work for relief. In the days that followed, the Haitan shipyard was built, and the fire salt drying yard was built. The sea salt production here is ten times that of the Guanhai salt drying field.
Then there was the construction of forts and roads. Qianqi Island, Dongyang Island, Xiaolian Island, as well as Yintaikou and Huojiao Harbor on Haitan Island were to build forts for guarding. A large number of the victims were resettled on Haitan Island, which can be used for relief through work.
A few days later. With the assistance of Shen Liu, Shen Zijin, Shen Zizheng and several other scribes, the work of soliciting relief and resettlement of the victims entered the trajectory and proceeded step by step. First, Longtian Town was used as a soup kitchen to solicit victims from all around. Then it was transported to Haitan Village for registration and division of labor. First, they recruited the best guards as soldiers, and then they used the skills of the victims to build various infrastructures for labor, or recruited workers into the workshops. Most of the farmers were transported back to Tamsui City, ready to continue cultivating their fields.
After dealing with the affairs of Haitan Island, Wu Tianxiao left five ships with several hundred materials to Jiang Zhuang, and asked him to be responsible for traveling back and forth between Longtian Town and Haitan Island to continue to transport the newly recruited victims. And he took a fleet of ten ships to carry the first batch of 4,000 victims back to Tamsui City, preparing to continue to increase the intensity of land reclamation.
In the following month. The fleet made six or seven round-trips between Tamsui City and Haitan Island, and nearly 25,000 victims were transported to Tamsui City. It's just that there are still people from other places who have heard the news from all over the coast and have come to Longtian Town one after another. However, at this time, the initial pressure on the transportation of the victims has been greatly eased, and the resettlement and transportation of the victims have changed from the initial intensive to one after another. As a result, Wu Tianxiao sent four Fusang ships to the Zhoushan Shipyard and the Tamsui City Shipyard respectively to process and transform them into armed merchant ships with good seal of the cabin and equipped with artillery. And named Haitan, Captive, Daishan and Dongyang Island respectively. Subsequently, ships were redistributed to the fleets.
The Zhoushan with 2,000 guns, the Tamsui with 12 guns at 2,000, and the Putuo with 12 guns at 2,000. The 2,000-material Haitan with 12 guns, the 1,500-material Qianlong No. 1 with 24 guns, and the 1,500-material Expedition with 12 guns form the ocean-going fleet.
The Tamsui fleet consisted of 2,000 materials and 12 guns of the Capture of Japan, 2,000 materials of 12 guns of Dongyang Island, 1,500 materials of 12 guns of Dingyuan, 1,400 materials of 12 guns Zhenyuan, and 1,000 materials of 10 guns of training number.
The Zhoushan fleet consisted of 2,000 12 guns Daishan, 1,500 24 guns Qianlong II, 1,300 10 guns Guanhaizhai, 1,300 10 guns Hanxi Zhai, and 1,300 10 guns Wujiazhai.
The ocean-going fleet is still personally commanded by Wu Tianxiao, which is used to open routes and emergency responses. The Zhoushan Fleet was still responsible for the defense of the Zhoushan Islands and between Zhoushan and Tamsui City. The Tamsui Fleet expanded its defense to the Haitan Islands and was responsible for the transportation between the Haitan Islands and Tamsui City. Other, smaller vessels are used as a means of transportation between the offshore areas or the islands.
By August, Wu Tianxiao's command had taken control of Zhoushan Islands and Haitan Islands, as well as the Tamsui City area, with more than 20,000 immigrants coming to the disaster, and the population of Zhoushan, Tamsui, and Haitan had increased to more than 60,000. Wu Tianxiao's army also expanded to more than 5,600 people in seven battalions. All the original veterans and officers were promoted, and the soldiers were divided into garrison army battalions and sailor battalions. At the same time, a pro-guard artillery battalion was also established, commanded by Tan Lun, which specialized in artillery as the main combat firepower. The original Wu Dayou and Jia Youshi were outside the two camps, and Yang Hongju, Chen Minzhi, Chen Minxin, Jiang Zhuang, Tan Lun and other five people were also promoted to camps. Wu Dayou's 1st Battalion is the "Zhoushan Water Division Battalion", Jia Youshi's 1st Battalion is the "Freshwater Water Division Battalion", Tan Lun's 1st Battalion is the Pro-Guard Artillery Battalion, and Yang Hongju, Chen Minzhi, Chen Minxin, and Jiang Zhuang are all "Pro-Guard Battalions".
That's when it happened. That Ye Jinquan also came back, and also recruited seven apprentices or brothers, including Shan Sinan, Chen Zhenshi, Li Tianmu, Chai Yuanming, Yao Shimen, Wu Kunshan, and Zhou Yunquan, and all of them were strong in martial arts. Wu Tianxiao was overjoyed, and introduced Shan Sinan, Chen Zhenshi, Chai Yuanming, and Yao Shimen as the captains of the guards. and gave Ye Jinquan a large sum of silver as a fee to prepare for the establishment of the Espionage Division. Wu Kunshan, Zhou Yunquan, and Li Tianmu were assigned as their assistants to go around Daming to inquire about various news.
Due to the rapid increase in the population of Tamsui City, the plains around Tamsui City were quickly cleared. The reclamation area began to follow the Tamsui River to the south and the upper reaches of the Hanxi River to the east. The plain area of the Tamsui City basin is forty or fifty miles long. To the east of the upper reaches of Hanxi has been separated from the territory of Mona Dao, and to the east is the indigenous people of Gongliao. After the newly opened farms continued to a place called Huotan Keng in the upper reaches of Hanxi, they reached the territory of the Gongliao aborigines. Wu Tianxiao established a chicken coop village in Jilong Bay, preparing to exchange markets with the indigenous people of Gongliao. The southern area is directly cultivated to the foot of Wulai Mountain, which is dozens of miles away. Wu Tianxiao also established a new shop at the foot of the Wulai Mountains, preparing to exchange markets with the natives of the Wulai Mountains.
Mutual market with the new natives, this is naturally indispensable to the assistance of the three indigenous leaders who have become Han Chinese, Ataya Qun, Zou Talu, and Dadaoze. Because these three people can already communicate in Chinese at this time, and they have the ability to communicate with the local aborigines.
After the victims of the sea overflow were transported into the trajectory, Wu Tianxiao handed over the task of resettlement of the victims to Shen Jing in the early stage. With a part of his subordinates, he and three indigenous leaders who had returned to the Han nationality came to the upper reaches of the Han River with a team of guards. Because land reclamation is the most important thing now, if it is dealt with, spring sowing can start next spring.
Wu Tianxiao and his entourage of two or three hundred people took several ferries and went up the Han River until the ferries were really unable to go against the current, so they got off the boat and rode on the wasteland.
