Chapter 187: The Storm Outside the Fortress (5)

Tong Zhen said that Tong Jie felt a little expectant, and in addition to the expectation, there was an inexplicable heartbeat in her heart.

This person is He Tengxiao, who had a relationship with him in Beiyuan City.

He Tengxiao does not reject children, He Tengxiao will believe them.

At this time, He Tengxiao was escorted by Ke Dinghai's fleet and came to Changsheng Island on the 800 Liulou ship as the flagship.

Changsheng Island, the largest island in eastern Liaodong, is now also his fiefdom of He Tengxiao. The island belongs to him for the time being.

Changsheng Island (i.e., Changxing Island in later generations), located in the southwest of Fuzhou City, is a sandy beach on the west side of Changsheng Island, and on the opposite side of the west beach is the Shahe River, which deposits a large amount of sediment at the mouth of the Shahe River. Due to the sediment on the west side of Changsheng Island, the west side of Changsheng Island is not suitable for ships to pass through, and it is certainly not suitable for building a port to moor ships.

On the other hand, the western part of Changsheng Island is mainly bedrock, and the sea water on the shore is relatively deep, which is suitable for boats. On the west side of Changsheng Island, there is a temporary ship docking point, and all ships sail to the temporary ship docking point and anchor there.

He Tengxiao got off the boat, Ke Dinghai was right, compared to the East China Sea, the Bohai Sea is indeed a bathtub and very calm.

Changsheng Island has been abandoned for a long time, and after changing to a small boat and boarding a simple docking point, you will be greeted by a reckless and primitive scene. The vegetation on the island grows wildly, and if no one lands on the island in advance, I am afraid that there is no place to settle on the island now.

There were more than 1,200 people in Changsheng Island, and more than 400 people in the middle island on the other side of Changsheng Island. Temporary ship docking points were set up on each of the two islands for the transportation of supplies. To meet the survival needs of the residents who landed on the island, in addition to the residents, He Tengxiao also stationed the garrison of the Xiao cavalry battalion on the island to ensure the safety of the island. Changsheng Island has five garrisons of the hundred-household team, and there are two on the middle island, and the camp flag symbolizing the Xiao cavalry camp has been raised on the island, announcing to outsiders that this is the territory of the Xiao cavalry camp and the territory of He Tengxiao.

It is more prudent to move the soldiers and civilians of Pingshan Fort to the island, not overnight, and blindly throw everyone to the deserted island, or in batches, step by step. He Tengxiao's plan was to relocate all the soldiers and civilians of Pingshan Fort to Changsheng Island and Zhongdao in five batches.

The plan was supposed to be completed within a year, provided that, of course, the Liao army did not move south within a year.

The island has built a simple shack, and the most important thing on the island is trees, and a batch of timber can be cut down and built into a shack on the spot.

Although it is a shack, the shacks on the island are not disorganized, and they seem to be distributed in an orderly manner. In contrast to the hastily constructed shelters of the homeless, these wooden huts are not only orderly and sturdy.

This is a clear difference between planned and unplanned migration.

The residents of the former residence, who had just been resettled on the island, were busy, and the military camp was located next to the house.

"There is a lot of timber on the island, and in the future we will have to rely on ships for communication everywhere, and now we rely mainly on warships for transportation." He Tengxiao pointed to the trees on the island and said, "The task of warship and warship, it is impossible to run transportation all the time. On Yunguam Island, it is not said that it is a tree that is decades old, and trees that are hundreds of years old are also common, and these timbers are enough to build ships. Master Du. ”

He Tengxiao called a boatwright, Shi Yufeng found a lot of shipwrights for him in Jinling, and now it was time to come in handy.

Du Qingyan, named Master Du, approached He Tengxiao's side, and He Tengxiao asked him, "With our conditions, can we build a ship?" ”

Du Qingyan's beard is pale, he looks a little old, the profession of a craftsman, the older he gets, the older he is, the more he goes, and Du Qingyan, who was born as a shipbuilder, is no exception. Du Qingyan was born in a family of craftsmen and has been dealing with shipbuilding since he can remember.

"I wonder what ship the general is going to build? How big is it going to be? Du Qingyan asked He Tengxiao how big a ship he wanted to build, building a ship is not a difficult task, but what kind of ship to build is different. Building a small ship with dozens or hundreds of materials is also shipbuilding, and building a large ship with tens of thousands of materials is also shipbuilding, and the difference is still very big.

He Tengxiao turned his head sideways and stared at Du Qingyan's frosty hair: "How big can a transport ship be, how long can it take." ”

Du Qingyan pondered for a while, and asked He Tengxiao: "Only go to the Bohai Sea?" ”

He Tengxiao nodded: "Only go to the Bohai Sea." ”

Several of He Tengxiao's sites: Pingshan Fort, Yunguan Island, Changsheng Island, and Zhongdao are all within the Bohai Sea, and the mobilization of materials is carried out on the Bohai Sea.

"The Bohai Sea is not stormy, and if it is urgent to rush the system, as long as the manpower and material resources are sufficient, three transport ships with 100 materials can be built in a month, and this kind of rushing out of the ship will not take a few years, and can only be used urgently." Du Qingyan gave He Tengxiao a preventive injection in advance, reminding He Tengxiao that the life of these rushed ships is very short and can only be used in an emergency.

He Tengxiao doesn't care, he is just used for emergencies, as long as he can make it, it doesn't matter if his life is shorter. He didn't expect his shipmakers to build warships and ships that were built to last. A real shipyard needs technical accumulation and strong material and financial resources and even human support. At present, He Tengxiao does not have other conditions except manpower.

He Tengxiao agreed to Du Qingyan's request, and the specific matters were explained to Lu Bingwen and Li Qian.

"The general is so bored, the first thing he did when he came to the island was to fall in love with the island's timber shipbuilding." Zhang Yuyang teased He Tengxiao.

"And what was the first thing you thought of when you came to the island?" He Tengxiao glared at Zhang Yuyang angrily.

Zhang Yuyang didn't say it directly, but asked He Tengxiao: "This island is also famous, does the general know the origin of the name of this island?" ”

He Tengxiao only knows that this island is called Changsheng Island, and as for the origin of the name of this island, He Tengxiao really doesn't know much. He Tengxiao whispered it several times, as if he was chanting a scripture, and he really couldn't think of the origin of the name of this island.

"Immortality, immortality, isn't this island related to immortality, you can live forever if you go to this island?" He Tengxiao speculated wildly.

Zhang Yuyang's answer made He Tengxiao stunned: "This island is indeed related to immortality. ”

"Really?" He Tengxiao was very surprised.

Zhang Yuyang nodded, and explained to He Tengxiao the origin of the name of this island: "After the first emperor swept Liuhe, he toured the country five times, recorded his merits, and sent the priest Xu Fu to the East China Sea to seek immortals, seeking the so-called elixir of life. Xu Fu prepared a generous gift in the world, the mighty eastward to seek medicine, the road met the immortals to tell each other came to Changsheng Island, it is rumored that the island and the sea are rich in sea ginseng, people eat after a hundred diseases, can protect longevity, so Xu Fu and others lingered, lived in seclusion here, lived and reproduced, many people actually lived to more than 100 years old, so this island was named 'Changsheng Island'"
