At noon on the 26th, two Western three-masted sailing ships and a sand ship formed a formation and sailed into the Gray Turtle Ocean. The sand boat came with the sailing ship when it sailed to the Pudong shipyard dock, and it was full of family members of the knife club.

Located in the northwest corner of Dinghai and east of the Yongjiang River estuary, the gray turtle ocean belongs to the traditional fishing grounds of Ningbo Zhoushan. From a distance, the islands and reefs are connected, the stars are dense, the sails are dotted on the sea, and there are many fishing boats operating.

Not long after, a white galleys sailed out of the reef and greeted them, this boat was the patrol boat of the Daming Maritime Guard. When they arrived at the red flag of the sun and moon hanging high above the Western sailing boat, the people on the patrol boat immediately cheered, "Our galleon, it is Wang Sima and they are back." ”

Wang Tiehammer looked through the binoculars and saw that it was the captain Wang Wenli standing on the bow of the coast guard patrol boat.

In the activity of sacrificing to the same domain, Wang Tiehammer appeared as the governor of the capital, and immediately some people with good deeds thought that the governor of the king and the governor of the king were embarrassed, and gave him the title of the great Sima and called him Wang Sima.

The sails were gently blown by the sea breeze, and the sailboats were moving at a speed of about four knots per hour. The coast guard ship turned its bow and slowly moved closer to this side.

Through the radio station, Wang Wenli reported on the situation at the mouth of the Yongjiang River during this period.

Since Bu Xingyou was ordered to rectify the sailors at the mouth of the Yongjiang River, he used the property he squeezed from the merchants to gather more than 1,000 people to operate more than 20 cantons every day, and often poked his head out of the Yongjiang River, showing his teeth and claws.

Since half of the members of the coast guard were on Western sailing ships, the rest had to patrol the sea and guard the harbor, so Buxing was temporarily released. Although Bu Xingyou seemed very arrogant, the coast guard team never paid attention to him, just staring at him coldly from afar.

The coast guard ship continued to patrol the sea, slowly disappearing into the blue waves, and Wang Tiehammer fell into deep thought.

Wang Sima was thinking about a problem, although the crossing team had formed a navy and was relatively proficient in operating the "Prince", due to the preciousness of diesel, the short sailing time of the navy, the lack of combat experience, and the lack of baptism of blood and fire, they could only be regarded as a preliminary army. In comparison, whether it is sea training, sea combat experience, etc., the coast guard is much stronger.

By this time Captain Johnson reported that the speed had reached eight knots.

Wang Tiehammer looked up until the sea breeze blew the sails, and the sails were all puffed up, and he led the ship to split the waves, and moved forward quickly, leaving only a white track in the stern. He couldn't help but move, so he left the slipway and circled the deck, carefully surveying the pirate ship beneath him.

It was a light Galen-type three-masted galleon of the Portuguese pirates, with two decks and sixteen guns on the artillery deck. The sailboat is about 24 meters long, 54 meters wide, and has an aspect ratio of 45:, which is extremely fast.

Standing on the side of the ship, Wang Tiehammer held on to the railing and secretly wondered if this pirate ship could be reorganized, strengthened its armament, and increased its power system, whether it could be temporarily used as the main warship of the navy to train the navy.

Need to add a powertrain? Wang Tiehammer suddenly realized that he had overlooked something, if he needed to increase the power, it would be better to modify the two steamships, the power system on the steamers was ready-made, but the machine needed to be improved. Wang Tiezhu couldn't make up his mind for a while, he felt that he needed to find someone to discuss.

At this time, there was a commotion in the middle of the ship, and a weak woman was lifted out of the hold.

Last night, the brothers of the Qingpu Tiandi Association were divided into two groups and divided into two boats. Zhou Xiuying, under the leadership of Fu Baichen, went to the flagship. As soon as she boarded the ship, she felt a solemnity like never before, sailors in blue cardigans, guarding all corners of the deck, all holding muskets that glittered with cold light.

McClain greeted him, and he told the Knife congregation that because of the limited cabin, only one cabin could be provided for Zhou Xiuying and other women, and the rest of the people could only stay in the bilge to rest.

The cargo hold of the corsair is located below the gun deck, and is generally used to load robbed ~ robbed cargo, and the ventilation is very poor. The most important thing is that the ship was captured from the pirates by the crossing team, because of the relationship of time, Lin Youde's industrial team only repaired the hull, the cargo hold was only cleaned slightly, and the situation of bugs and fleas and rats running around has not been effectively changed.

As soon as the knife came down to the cargo hold, an unpleasant musty smell immediately rushed to the brain. A few oil lamps hanging from the bulkhead illuminated only a small area, most of which was still pitch black and nothing was visible. They were so angry in their hearts that they immediately started clamoring and shouting.

McClain and Fu Baichen had been accompanying them, and McClain told them very frankly that the ship could only accommodate a maximum of one hundred and fifty people, and now that the cabin was full, they could only endure it here for one day. As for the taste, it can't be helped, it's Caravel that has just been taken from the pirates, and it hasn't had time to be thoroughly cleaned.

"What is it called, it is a blessing to be able to escape and ascend to heaven." Zhou Xiuying scolded: "I, like everyone, also stay in this cargo hold." Everyone is from a poor background, what's not used to it?! ”

Zhou Xiuying calmed the emotions of the brothers in time, and at the same time refused the special arrangement for her and her sister, and insisted on being in the bilge with the brothers.

Fu Baichen couldn't do it, in order to be able to explain to Lin Shenye, he had to accompany his wife's future sister-in-law in the bilge.

After one night in the bilge cat, the Knife congregation was all drowsy. Zhou Xiuying was still a little uncomfortable at first, and when she woke up from her dream, she seemed to have adapted to it, sitting on the ground groggily, leaning against Zhou Feixia, and napping against the bulkhead.

In the afternoon, a bold little mouse scurried on Zhou Xiuying's head, and Zhou Xiuying pushed it away with her hand very carelessly. The mouse immediately jumped on Zhou Feixia's body, Zhou Feixia was startled, and suddenly jumped up from the ground.

"Mouse, mouse!" Zhou Feixia let out a scream.

The boat happened to shake slightly, Zhou Feixia couldn't hold back anymore, and suddenly became nauseous. Zhou Xiuying and Fu Baichen hurriedly helped Zhou Feixia to the upper deck.

"Eat a few slices of ginger, so your stomach will be more comfortable." Wang Tiehammer rushed over with Fang Chushou, who served as the ship's doctor.

On the deck, Zhou Feixia breathed in the fresh air, ate another piece of ginger, and felt much better.

Fang Chushou is 0cm tall and weighs 00kg, he is 2 years old this year, a totalitarian, anti-liberal, and a staunch supporter of the harem. It was because he wanted to read all the beauties in the world that he actively signed up to participate in the crossing.

Fang Chu guarded Zhou Feixia's soft body, her pale little face, and she looked weak, and suddenly felt a ripple in her heart. He hurriedly asked Zhou Feixia to be carried into the infirmary to rest.

At the door of the ship's infirmary, Wang Tiehammer made a gesture to Zhou Xiuying, "Leader Zhou, I'm sorry, the conditions on the ship are poor, and your brothers have suffered. ”

Zhou Xiuying was also wearing a blue uniform from Wang Tiehammer, and she couldn't believe her eyes, "You are Wang Da Sima?" I was looking for you to have something to say. ”

"Come on, let's find a place to talk."

Coming to the stern deck, Zhou Xiuying couldn't help but open her mouth before she could sit down, "How are you going to arrange us." She had been in the cabin for a day, and if she had been holding her stomach, she wanted to vent for a long time.

Wang Tiezhu was too lazy to talk to Zhou Xiuying, he looked at the sea, "What do you want?" ”

"In any case, we Qingpu brothers are one, and we insist on being together."

Fu Baichen on the side laughed, "Ha! Are you not at ease, worried that you will be eaten like Song Jiang on "Water Margin". ”

"Yes, we're just worried." Zhou Xiuying spoke very straightforwardly.

"You are Lin Shenhe's daughter-in-law who has not passed through the door, you must be with Lin Shenhe in the future, if your brother Qingpu is all with you, will it be possible to be your dowry?" Wang Tie hammered Zhou Xiuying's very serious appearance, and couldn't help but joke.

Saying that, he waved his hand, "Let me tell you the truth, Shanghai City has been captured by Lin Shenhe, and Liu Lichuan has been completely annihilated." If we want to put you to death, why bother to save you. ”

Wang Tiehammer said: "I don't beat around the bush when I speak, since I saved you, you are my Da Ming's people, and now you can't do it if you want to, Da Ming doesn't need traitors." ”

Zhou Xiuying felt a chill, but she still asked, "Then how are you going to arrange us?" ”

"You first have to go to the quarantine camp and get a medical check-up."

Zhou Xiuying's eyes widened, "Physical examination? ”

Fu Baichen hurriedly explained, "This is necessary, so that you have no problems with your body, and you can treat diseases if you are sick." ”

Wang Tiezhu nodded, "Then I will receive study and training, and then make work arrangements according to my academic performance." ”

Zhou Xiuying shook her head again and again, "Go to school? No, we don't know a single word. ”

"We need a lot of people, and we need people who are literate and literate. You can't read a single word, how can you be an official? How to manage the military and the people? Wang Tiehammer pointed at Zhou Xiuying, "You must take the lead in literacy, you are all my Ming people now, whether you are working in the future, farming, or managing the army and the people, you must be literate and talented." ”

Zhou Xiuying was a little unconvinced, "I don't know a single word, but I still manage people very well." ”

"Just you uneducated guys, give you a cannon, can you shoot accurately?" Wang Tiehammer slapped the side of the ship, "This is the army, all actions are under command, let you go to school, you have to go to school." ”

Fu Baichen said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, Lin Shenhe is a well-educated person, who knows astronomy and geography. If you don't have any knowledge, you're going to be bullied. ”

Zhou Xiuying's face turned red and she stopped talking.

As he spoke, the boat slowly sailed into the Panzhi waterway and slowly sailed towards Dinghai Port. From a distance, the Yanhe Sea Pond is full of fiery construction scenes, and the salt warehouse base through team building has begun to take shape.

A sea pond is an embankment built along the coast or estuary to keep out the tide and waves. To the west of Xiaofeng Ridge, the salt river pond on the shore of Dinghai Yancang was built in the Qing Dynasty, from Zhushan Gate to Luotoujiao.

On the shore of the salt river pond under Xiaofeng Ridge, which was originally a salt pan, the crossing team occupied a full two kilometers of sea pond here, with a depth of 500 meters and a total area of about 100 hectares of saline-alkali land, to build a military base for the crossing regiment and serve as a transit station for large-scale migration to Taiwan and North America.

To this end, the executive committee specially arranged for Tang Peng to preside over the construction of the salt warehouse base, and Li Hao was his deputy.

Tang Peng is less than thirty years old, with an ordinary appearance, with a pair of myopic glasses, a civil engineering professional, with all the experience from the owner, design, construction to supervision, of course, not very deep. He is a fan of Chinese architecture, advocating the beauty of huge width and height, and has always aimed to build a super giant Chinese building.

Li Hao is 26 years old this year, born in a small bureaucratic family, and he is a sullen and delicate type. He studied in the United States for five years, is familiar with all kinds of construction equipment, can draw, can supervise, is a firm Lolita, only likes to be raised by aboriginal girls under the age of fourteen.

The salt warehouse base under construction faces the sea on one side and the water on the other, and has begun to take shape.

A barge leaned against the salt river pond in the quarantine area, dropping a heavy anchor. The stones mined in the mountains have been pushed from the sea pond to the tidal flats and the sea, all the way to the side of the barge, forming a long T-shaped stone port. The one below is the approach bridge, which is two meters wide and forty meters long, and is connected to the embankment; The upper horizontal foot, which is 3 meters wide and 50 meters long, serves as a stone pier connecting the barge, and is closely connected to the barge.

About 500 meters away from the quarantine's wharf, there is also a barge wharf, which is the base wharf. The base wharf, like the quarantine wharf, has also been preliminarily completed.

A group of people are building retaining walls on both sides of the approach bridge of the two stone docks made of stones, with huge stones and mortar, which is specially transported from Dunan Island for saline-alkali resistant cement, so that the stone port can withstand the erosion of the sea wind and waves.

Many green plants have been planted on the salt river and sea ponds. Because this is a saline-alkali land, the agricultural team specially transplanted and planted the tree species brought from the original time and space, and the saline-alkali tolerant casuarinas, oleanders, hibiscus, hibiscus, and tung trees cultivated on Mingxing Island.

Above the wharf are the transit bases and military barracks under construction, and rows of bamboo sheds have been built with bamboo. On top of the large open space, people working like ants are building houses with bricks on top of the foundations that have been laid.

This river is based on the original river, using a large excavator, two consecutive nights of construction, remodeling.

By the river, a steam engine emitted black smoke, rumbling at full power, driving the brick-making machine, constantly spitting out the whole plate of bricks. Not far from the brick machine, a newly built brick kiln is emitting green smoke.
