Chapter 152: The First Step in Pioneering
Three days later, the soldiers and Liaomin's bodies recovered slightly, and Zhao Lie immediately ordered the opening operation to begin, and thousands of people began to get busy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The first was to establish the location of the shipyard in the bay, expand the docks, trestles, and build batteries.
Especially the forts, Zhao Lie did not plan to build a large city, he planned to build two forts on the mid-hills on both sides of the bay to block the sea, and two forts near the pier to guard the pier.
Build two large batteries in each of the three directions of the south, east, and west of the planned future town location, and place huge artillery cantonments to garrison soldiers and horses, which can not only bombard distant areas, but also protect the town when the enemy reaches close and cooperate with the counterattack in the city.
The city wall Zhao Lie did not intend to build, Fang Mao was not surrounded by a plain, and the cavalry could not be deployed on a large scale, as for the infantry attack, Zhao Lie believed that there was no more powerful infantry than the broken army under his command in the land of the Far East, and even on this island, it was impossible for an opponent with a large number of cavalry to appear, and the money saved should be left in the plain area to build a city.
After years of food and hard work, the 3,000 Liao people, who had grown strong, were divided into several teams and were busy in an organized manner.
First of all, the barracks, refugee camps, horse farms, this is the place where people and horses rest, not only to build, but also to build a large place, refugees are coming more and more, horses are also, after a long voyage, people and horses are tired, here is a place to rest, will be recuperated before continuing to go deep into the interior.
The Liao people and soldiers have experience in building military camps and refugee camps, and most of them have experience in building on Jeju Island.
Zhao Lie ordered Gu Wuyue to be the guard officer of Fangmao Port, and before the arrival of this winter, the three-month task was to supervise the construction of Fangmao Port. Wait for the arrival of a large group of refugees at the beginning of spring next year. Expansion into the plains.
Kanadon asked Yanayahi to lead more than 100 men to join the construction team. In response to Zhao Lie's proposal, the Kavi Conversion Clan mobilized people to hunt and provide meat for the team, of course, this could also harvest money, grain, and groceries, which was decided by Kanadon after consulting with Gu Wuyue.
Of course, Zhao Lie knew about Canadon's attitude as a bystander, but he firmly believed that when the interests of the whole clan were combined with the Broken Army, Canadon could only follow the Broken Army in the end.
Zhao Lie had nothing to do to build a military camp with the soldiers. Zhao Lie also worked with everyone to cut down the branches of the trees and trees, leaving the thick trunks for building houses, the thinner trunks for fences, and the branches for fires and meals.
Zhao Lie and Yu Dabao were in full swing, sweating like pulp. Zhao Da and several guards were meticulous in taking care of Zhao Lie.
With the participation of the main generals in the army, the soldiers shouted trumpets and sang songs quite energetically.
More than a hundred Anui were divided into sections, most of which were sent out to fish to provide meat for the army, and some were used as guides to the nearby logging for a newly built city. The consumption of wood is enormous.
The seaside here is full of small and medium-sized trees, and in the future, ships will be built here. Large logs are the foundation, and most of the timber used by the Shidao shipyard is purchased from outside, and because there is no development here, large primeval forests can be seen everywhere, but they need to be cut down by hand.
Yanayahi led a few small boats to fish outside the harbor, and they were accompanied by the only four Cangshan boats in the fleet, and brought them to Fangmao Harbor for fishing, and according to Shidao's experience, the supply of meat here would also be mostly fish.
When the sika deer that Kanadon and Kavey will be hit in three days, the birds and even a black bear came to Fangmao Port, Fangmao Port has become a large construction site, the dock trestle has begun to expand, the location of the fort has begun to clear trees and grass to open up roads, the barracks have begun to build fences and towers, and the refugee camp is also in full swing construction.
Canadon and Kavey looked at everything in front of them with a complicated mood, their territory was occupied by others, of course they were extremely uncomfortable in their hearts, and even had a kind of resentment, but they knew that either the Ming people or the people would seize the whole island sooner or later, and the Ming people were just in advance.
Besides, these Wise people are so powerful that even Kaveh no longer mentions the idea of resisting, and if he fights against such a powerful enemy, wouldn't it be a fool's doing. At this point, Canadon can only hope that Akito will speak his mind.
Most of the prey brought by Kannadon and Kaveh are sika deer, they are larger, easier to hunt, and at the same time take more meat, and they were immediately warmly welcomed by the Broken Army, and gave Xiao Pan to buy, Canadon did not agree, in exchange for rice, cloth, salt and other groceries.
"My lord, can we exchange it for axes, catalpa and other iron tools next time?" Canadon asked Gu Wuyue.
Most of their iron tools were purchased from the Heren, and here they found that the iron tools of the Ming people were sharper than the iron tools of the Heren, and at the same time they exchanged them for prey, but they were only half the price of the iron tools of the people, which was really profitable, and Kanadon even had the intention of exchanging the iron tools here to sell them to other tribes for profit, which must be a huge profit.
"Yes, but in exchange for a large number of logs, we would like to have a larger log." Of course, Gu Wuyue understood their thoughts, but he didn't object, as long as it was a log, after all, the demand for logs was unlimited at the moment.
"Of course there is no problem, but, my lord, I don't know if I can sell some horses to us, the logs are too heavy, and I am afraid that there are no horses..." Canadon asked. There are not many horses in Ezo, only the tribes in the northwest have them, and the other tribes are just a few existences, and the eastern tribes of Kana are also in short supply.
"Yes, you can trade it for logs." Gu Wuyue was very simple and agreed to barter. As for whether the possession of horses in the eastern part of Kanna was a threat to the Broken Army, Gu Wuyue automatically omitted it.
Next year, the brigade will come, and the war horse will also come, the combat power of the Mongolian horse is really not something that the Jeju horse can compete with in front of him, of course, this Jeju horse and the Ezo horse can also fight, after looking at the Ezo horse of the eastern Kanna tribe, Gu Wuyue came to a conclusion.
It can be said that the father and son of Canadon are mixed and sad to leave here, the worry is that the Ming people have entered faster, and the good thing is that several conditions that are beneficial to the tribe have been agreed by the Ming people, which is much stronger than the people, that is, the log in exchange for this is much stronger than the people.
In the past, when trading iron tools with people and them, they were required to trade with furs, mountain goods, and falcons, so that all the iron tools available in their hands were used in weapons. No way. Such a costly iron weapon could only be used on warriors. Even such warriors did not all use iron weapons, and some of the clansmen used bone bows and arrows, and tools such as axes and iron catalpa were really unaffordable.
This time, Canadon plans to exchange all the tools for Ming iron tools, and it can also be exchanged directly with Ming people. As for exchanging with other tribes, it is even more feasible, after all, as long as the iron tools sold by Kannadonfa are lower than those of the people, then there is no need to worry about the tribe exchange.
Yanayahi had a good harvest today, but when he reached the open sea, he encountered a large school of herring more than ten nautical miles. A boatload of herring, squid, salmon and other sea fish returned to the dock and sold them to the Breaker Army, who gave him two silver Xiaopan.
It is said that the two parties have just met, and for the credit of the Broken Army, Yanayahi has countless hearts, but when Yin Xiaopan got it, Yanayahi was still happy, in the past, it had to be three or five fox skins or three or five wolf skins to exchange for the same people, and today it is just a small boat of sea fish.
As for the seafood, it used to be traded with people, because the fresh fish could not be transported. They can only be exchanged for dried fish, and a small boat of dried fish is two silver Xiaopan. It's not three to four times the price of a person. This Ming man is really fair.
Of course, these silver Xiaopan are shared by four people on the ship, but even if it is shared by four people, it is a lot of income.
When I returned to the fishing village and came home, I saw my six-year-old son and four-year-old daughter eating sweetly in the courtyard, and when I saw Yanayahi entering the courtyard, she ran to him with a vague mouth, and his wife came out of the mud and straw house when she heard the news, and smiled and helped him take the harpoon.
"Naxi, what are they eating?" Yanayahi asked, hugging her daughter.
"Today, the Ming people distributed candy and salt to every family in the village. Viamman and Tassie love to eat. His wife Naxi said.
Yanayahi frowned, and Naxi saw something, "If you're not happy, I'll send the candy and salt back." ”
Yanayahi shook his head, since it was sent by the whole village, there was no reason not to accept it, but whether the Ming people were as fierce and cunning as the people would have to be seen later.
Zhao Lie stayed here, and the fleet returned in ten days, after all, before the arrival of winter, the fleet had to come again, prepare enough food, send refugees far away, and building materials and iron, and then there was a freezing period of more than four months, and the time was still the same.
Fang Shun, Lao Yutou, Fang Shun's sons Fang Yuanshan, Fang Gaoshan, and Lao Yutou's son Yu Zhe, as well as more than 100 men, cut down trees in a forest more than two miles from the wharf.
Most of the trees here are pine and poplar, and this place has not been developed for a long time, and the Anui people only use the trees near the roadside to warm and build houses.
After Fang Soon and others arrived in Jeju, after several months of recuperation, they first joined the construction of the Jeju Port Fort, and after the fort was built, but after more than ten days of recuperation, they came here with the fleet.
Fang Shun's wife stayed in Jeju with his thirteen-year-old son and ten-year-old daughter, and his wife and youngest son Yu Tong also stayed in Jeju in the old Yutou family.
Fang Shun wiped his sweat, looked at the busy guys around him, exhaled, and picked up his axe to chop at the pine tree in front of him that was more than a meter thick.
To say, this work is still very hard, every day a thousand times the axe to cut wood, but also to cut down the trees to remove the branches, transport down, at the end of the day the arms are swollen, hands are bruised, legs are tired cramps.
It's just that no matter how difficult it is, you have to endure it, Jiannu leveled Tieshan, Fang Shun was also lucky, if it weren't for the adults leading the soldiers to escort the evacuation of the Tieshan military households, his family would have been gone long ago.
Although it is very hard to work in this place, but after all, he is alive, and he has three full meals a day, there is meat every day, and he is paid one or two taels of silver a month, and the adults also said that when the acres of land are opened up next year, each household can get fifty acres of land, and three years are exempt from taxes, and after three years, it is only ten taxes and one.
In order to support the acres themselves, this is a field owned by an individual, which can be passed on to future generations.
Thinking of this, Fang Shun looked at the land here, it was all black and good soil, but most of it was forests and weeds, and they had to be carved out by hand, which was a tedious and tiring job.
Fang Shun is not afraid of work, but he is afraid that there is no hope, since hope is ahead, Fang Shun is full of energy. As for Jing Haidun's life, it seems to be very far away from him.
The thousands of Liao people who arrived on Beihua Island all thought like this, and they went all out to start work, hoping to open up acres of land as soon as possible and get their own land as soon as possible. (To be continued.) )
