This result made Lin Fei overjoyed, so he formulated a coal mining plan overnight, and the refractory clay associated with the coal mine is also a good thing, so naturally it must be mined, so he formulated a refractory clay mining plan.

What excites Lin Fei even more is that the coal is stored in shallow locations and can be mined using the open-pit mining method, which is much more convenient and safer than the mine mining method. The coal is also stored in the mountains, and it is easy to build roads, so the mined coal and refractory clay can be quickly transported to Yanhuang City.

After these coals are mined, they will be used for coking, and Lin Fei has designed coke ovens, which will also generate a lot of chemical industrial raw materials in the coking process, and Lin Fei has designed related equipment to use these chemical raw materials.

Now the blast furnaces in Yanhuang City are all earthen blast furnaces, and the iron smelted is not of high quality, and it is difficult to smelt the high-quality steel needed to build warships with such iron, and the soil blast furnace is a waste of raw materials, and the production efficiency is low, so a new batch of blast furnaces must be built.

The new blast furnace is iron, and if you want to turn iron into steel, you have to build a new batch of converters for smelting steel, although some converters were bought from the United Kingdom, but the production scale is too small, and new converters must be produced, so Lin Fei designed the blast furnace and converter.

In the design process, Lin Fei drew all the schematic diagrams, as for the more detailed structural diagrams, he did not draw, because those drawings could not be drawn by one person at all, Lin Fei could only draw the schematic diagrams, and then handed over these diagrams to the craftsmen to draw detailed diagrams.

The sky was already dark, Lin Fei finally finished the relevant equipment schematic diagrams, he looked at the thick pile of paper on the table, secretly worried in his heart, and thought: "Coal mining needs people, transportation needs people, and manufacturing equipment needs people...... People are needed everywhere, but now the population of Samar Island is too small, and I have to find a way to get some more, but where to get people? ”

Lin Fei lowered his head and pondered, and suddenly thought of a place, that is, Leyte Island, which is only separated from Samar Island by a strait, there should be many Chinese and Filipinos on Leyte Island, right? They should all be of use to me, but I don't know how strong the Filipinos are on Leyte?

Lin Fei was thinking about it, the sky was already completely bright, and Ling Xue's pleasant voice sounded outside the door: "City Lord, get up and have breakfast." ”

Lin Fei walked out of the house, only to see that there were already a few bowls on the table outside, and there was still a fragrance wafting in the bowls, Lin Fei sat at the table, and saw two bowls of white rice on the table, as well as a plate of golden eggs and a plate of green vegetables, Ling Xue said angrily: "This Qian Wangling's family doesn't even have a piece of meat, and my skills can't be displayed." ”

Lin Fei laughed and sat down at the table, only to realize that there were only two bowls on the table, which meant that there was no Qian Wangling's share, Lin Fei smiled and said, "Isn't there any Qian Wangling?" ”

Ling Xue raised her eyebrows and said, "He's a bad guy!" Don't give him the food I cooked!" ”

Lin Fei said with a smile: "Lao Qian has found coal mines and refractory clay for us, and it can be regarded as making up for his merits, so let's call him." ”

Ling Xue heard Lin Fei intercede for Qian Wangling, so she called Qian Wangling, who looked aggrieved, Qian Wangling somehow, smiled when he saw Ling Xue, his sister was long and his sister was short, Lin Fei laughed again and again, and when he was eating, Lin Fei asked Ling Xue: "Have you been to Leyte Island?" ”

Ling Xue's body shook when she heard this, the smile on her face suddenly disappeared, revealing a burst of horror, and asked, "What are you asking Leyte Island to do?" ”

Lin Fei saw the change in Ling Xue's expression and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?" Is there anything wrong with Leyte? ”

Ling Xue said in a trembling voice, "No...... I don't know, my father told me, no...... Don't go to Leyte Island......" Ling Xue put down the dishes and chopsticks after speaking, and whispered, "I...... I'm full......"

After Ling Xue finished speaking, she picked up the dishes and chopsticks and walked outside, Lin Fei hurriedly pulled her arm and asked, "Xue'er, what's going on?" Is there anything to be afraid of the Filipinos on Leyte? You have no fear when you face that ** Paslow patriarch, why are you afraid of the Filipinos on Leyte Island like this? ”

Ling Xue shook her head and said, "I really don't know what the Filipinos on Leyte Island are afraid of, but my father often tells me that I can't go to Leyte Island, and the Filipinos on the island are terrible......"

Qian Wangling said on the side at this time: "City Lord Lin, don't ask Sister Xue'er, I have heard a little about the Filipinos on Leyte Island, they can use magic and control people's hearts!" ”

Lin Fei was taken aback and asked, "Demon law?" Controlling people's hearts? What do you mean? ”

Qian Wangling said mysteriously: "They pinch and chant a spell at a person, and that person will willingly be at their mercy, and the Filipino will let him go east, but he will not dare to go west!" This is the magic method that controls people's hearts! ”

"There could be such a thing?" Lin Fei couldn't help but exclaim.

Qian Wangling nodded again and again and said, "It's true! ”

Lin Fei was full of doubts, but after thinking about it, he couldn't believe Qian Wangling's words, and he still regarded paleontological fossils as past life stones. In this era, natural science is not developed, people will say that some natural phenomena are superb, and then spread falsehoods, and finally the rumors are far from the truth of the matter, and the so-called demon law that controls people's hearts is mostly nonsense!

So what's so scary about the Filipinos on the island? I should still have gone and see for myself, but I should have asked about the situation on Leyte first, because if the island is not populated, it is useless to take that island.

Lin Fei then asked, "Old Qian, how many people are there on Leyte Island?" Are there many Chinese? ”

Qian Wangling nodded and said: "There are a lot of people on the island, and there are also a lot of Chinese, there are about ten tribes, and there are almost more than 2,000 Chinese in each tribe, and almost all of these Chinese are craftsmen or merchants, and there are even more Filipinos." ”

Lin Fei suddenly felt a burst of joy in his heart, and secretly thought that if he knocked down Leyte Island, there would be 20,000 more Chinese at once, and there would be even more Filipinos.

Lin Fei suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said to Ling Xue: "Let's go back to Yanhuang City now, after you go back, you bring the craftsmen of the Construction Bureau to mine the ore, old money, don't tinker with fossils in this mountain, go back with me and help us find minerals." ”

When Qian Wangling heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I will only look for fossils, not minerals." ”

Lin Fei said with a smile: "The generation age of ore and fossil is close, and if you find a fossil, you will find an ore, you still look for your fossil, and I will let Guan Shanyue find a way to find the ore." ”

Qian Wangling still shook his head and said: "No, no, no, I'm used to being alone, if I help you find ore, I will inevitably be restrained." ”

Lin Fei laughed evilly and said, "Come back with me, I'll introduce you to a beautiful girl as a wife, how about it?" Promised? ”

When Qian Wangling heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he agreed repeatedly, Lin Fei returned to Yanhuang City, found Li Mingming, and asked about the recent recruitment, and learned that at this time, his troops had recruited 900 people, organized into two battalions, a total of 840 people, and the remaining 60 people were incorporated into the third battalion, and the third battalion would be full in the future.

In terms of equipment, at this time, the troops were already equipped with 400 LBQ-1 rifles, and the rest used Mauser M1893 rifles, Lin Fei gathered Li Mingming, Niu Dalong, Niu Dahu and others together, and said: "We are now going to carry out large-scale construction, and the construction is inseparable from the support of the population, but now the population of Yanhuang City and Chiyou City is insufficient, so I decided to march to Leyte Island and get the Chinese craftsmen on the island." ”

Everyone was elated when they heard this, and Lin Fei continued: "Our march this time is arranged in this way, first of all, I will lead the sniper team into the villages and towns on Leyte Island, and directly negotiate with the Philippine patriarch on the island, so that we can take all the Chinese away, I estimate that the Philippine patriarch will not agree, so our large army will be on standby in the back to eliminate the patriarch and other rulers in one fell swoop." ”

Lin Fei arranged everyone's tasks, and everyone agreed, Lin Fei brought Chen Jingui again, and asked about the bank's situation first, Chen Jingui said: "Everyone listens to Miss Chiyo, Miss Chiyo has no trouble." ”

Lin Fei put his mind at ease and asked Chen Jingui to step up the organization of manpower and send the bullets to Chiyou City, which is very close to Leyte Island, so Lin Fei decided to march from Chiyou City to Leyte Island.

After a few days of preparation, this evening, Lin Fei gathered the sniper team together, everyone in the sniper team wore brand new jungle camouflage uniforms, and wore camouflage hats on their heads, because the steel production in Yanhuangcheng was relatively low, and the Filipinos' weapons were very poor, so Lin Fei did not make steel helmets.

At this time, the sniper team was also equipped with a new weapon, the hand grenade, which was filled with nitroglycerin explosives, with a wooden handle on the back, and a detonator with a fire hose inside. Some time ago, because there was relatively little saltpeter, Lin Fei took the limited saltpeter to make bullets, and did not bother to make grenades, and now the saltpeter mine in Bumaoshan has begun to be mined, and the saltpeter is sufficient, so Lin Fei made a batch of grenades.

Lin Fei led the sniper team to board a small wooden boat and row through the San Juanico Strait between Samar Island and Leyte Island, the San Juanico Strait can be called one of the narrowest straits in the world, the narrowest point is only two kilometers, Lin Fei and his men quickly reached the opposite shore.

Qian Wangling had been to Leyte Island, so he was pulled by Lin Fei and used as a guide, Lin Fei asked, "Where is the nearest village and town?" ”

Qian Wangling looked at the topography of the coast, pondered for a while, pointed to the south with his hand, and said, "It should be in that direction, we can reach that village and town through this jungle." ”
