Chapter 3 Preparing for Landing
The group of 10 returned from the shore without incident, and as soon as they got on the boat and returned to the central recreation area, they were surrounded by tourists. Babbling on questions.
"Have you figured out where we are?" "Didn't you cross over?"
"This is not Fremantle."
The passengers' questions made everyone wonder who to answer.
Seeing this situation, Wang Tiehammer decisively took out the captain's majesty, picked up the microphone and shouted loudly, "Be quiet, give me silence, listen to them." ”
"Here's the way." Chen Wenqing began to report after everyone was quiet, "We found some white buildings on the shore, a small wind power plant, a grain depot, and a dock repair plant by the river, which is at least a dock maintenance plant of more than 10,000 tons in terms of scale, and a number of weapons, but no one has been found on it." ”
"Captain, according to the judgment of this Mr. Anlan, this place is the pre-undeveloped Fremantle, for the shape of the river is the same as the undeveloped Swan estuary he saw on the map. In addition to these, we also saw black swans and kangaroos. ”
"That's all, so did we travel through or in the original time and space, where is this place?" After listening to the explanation, the travelers still didn't know where they were, so they were a little dissatisfied.
"Well, according to my speculation, it should have crossed over," Zhao Shijie said again again the inference they said to **** on the shore at the right time.
"I've crossed, I've really crossed, I can't go back, what should I do now."
"I really crossed over, I knew it had to be crossed, and that fog was the gate of time and space." Two completely different voices quickly spread among all the passengers, some began to shout happily in celebration, they had finally crossed over, the moment to change history was coming, and some lamented sadly that they had just signed up for a trip to the Paracel Islands and had crossed inexplicably.
"I think we should go ashore, it's not a matter of staying on board, at least there is a granary on the shore to feed all of us for a few months. In addition, the Ming Dynasty sailing ship next to us also needs to be dealt with well, if we want to take root here, a certain population is necessary. Zhao Shijie said what he thought.
"Well, I agree with it too," Liu Yun and An Lan raised their hands at the same time to look at Zhao Shijie in support.
Wang Tiehammer looked at the three of them, thought for a while and said: "It is necessary to go ashore, it is unrealistic for everyone to stay on the ship, but before landing, you must find a suitable landing site, didn't you say that there is a dock repair shop in the river, I will first send someone to drive a small boat over to measure the depth of the water and the number of reefs, if we are sure that there is no problem, we will go ashore." I'm going to send someone to do security before everyone lands. ”
"Chen Wenqing, I will select 50 able-bodied guys from among the tourists to join your security team, and after getting off the ship, I will be responsible for the security of the landing site and the safety of everyone."
"Zhao Shijie, Liu Yun, the two of you are responsible for negotiating with the people on that Ming ship, in short, no matter what method you use, just leave them behind." Wang Tiezhu's instructions are tantamount to accepting Zhao Shijie's suggestion that human resources are needed for long-term development.
Anlan, you will take a few people to take a few people to be responsible for writing a report on the surrounding topographic survey and handing it over to me. As for the others, they are responsible for reassuring everyone, and pay close attention to those who show signs of uneasiness among the passengers.
After the order, everyone began to enter the preparations before the landing, and the main task of Zhao Shijie and Liu Yun was to persuade Zhao De's Ming Dynasty ship to stay.
Before going to persuade them, the two of them learned that there were more than 500 men and women on Zhao De's boat, most of whom were between the ages of 12 and 35, and that most of them were unable to get along in their hometowns and went to Luzon by boat to make a living. It is relatively easy to persuade this part of the population to stay. As long as you give enough **, you are not afraid that these people will not stay.
Descending through the sling, Zhao Shijie and Liu Yun came to Zhao De's wooden sailing boat, at the same time they also brought some food, according to their prior understanding, Zhao De and others walked in the fog for about seven days to get here, originally according to the scheduled time they should have arrived in Manila, now because of the trek, so the food on the ship was basically eaten the day before yesterday.
Zhao Shijie distributed the food to the people in the cabin, and did not rush to persuade them to stay, but let them eat first, and said after eating.
After a few minutes, when everyone had finished eating, he said that he had come here to hope that everyone would stay.
In order to explain the origin of themselves and others, Zhao Shijie and Liu Yun have already made up a complete set of rhetoric, which probably means that the ancestors of their group of people were boat people at the time of the Battle of Yashan, and they went all the way south to get here, and after years of development, they have today's results, but they don't want to have to move to this larger continent after a violent earthquake occurred on the island where they had lived for a hundred years a few months ago, causing the entire island to sink into the sea.
This explanation does not solve the problem of the way to get to yourself, and it also solves the way of the buildings and equipment on the island. These Ming Dynasty people were just ordinary peasants, and they didn't think much about it at all. Let them stay, most people's problem is whether they have food to eat, two meals a day. As for the salary, I didn't mention anything. Zhao Shijie, who knows some about history, knows that the Daming of Chongzhen's thirteen years can be said to be not easy, and in addition, it happened to be in the period of the Xiaoice River when grain production was greatly reduced, and many problems such as famine and land annexation made it impossible for the peasants to eat, so Li Zicheng's huge peasant uprising broke out.
Zhao De has no problem with the people on the ship to stay, these people have mortgaged the last belongings they can mortgage the ship fare to him before they get on the ship, and now he doesn't know where to send these people when he gets lost, he can't do this kind of thing by throwing them into the sea to find an island for them to destroy themselves, and it's too late for someone to accept him now.
Just when the two of them discussed the efforts left by these Ming Dynasty people, the staff sent by the Sea Blue to measure the hydrological wave and the number of reefs had also measured the data and brought it back to the ship, and after calculation, it was found that the number of reefs was not a big problem, and the water depth of the Swan River was just right for the sailing of the Sea Blue with a full load displacement of 10,000 tons.
Everything was ready, under the command of the king's hammer.
Chen Wenqing, together with 10 security guards and 50 newly selected security guards, took the lead in landing three assault boats and headed towards the Swan River, guiding the way for the Hailan and Zhao De's wooden sailing ship behind.
