499 Weihai (I)

Sorry for being late. To read the latest chapters, please lock the biquge.info of Aishang Novels

There was a little problem with the computer, and I changed it temporarily, which is a little unaccustomed.

After more than 30 days of sailing, the convoy of transport and supply ships from Hainan Island finally bypassed the Shandong Peninsula and arrived at the port of Weihai.

Originally, the speed of action could have been a little faster, but along the way they stopped at the bases along the way, and replenished supplies for the local partners, and the ship's doctor, Old Jack, also gave those people a physical examination by the way, and also accepted the hospitality of the landlord by the way...... Basically, there is a delay of three to five days at each point, and the action is naturally slow.

During the voyage, they kept in touch with the surrounding bases by wireless telegraphy, so the Weihai base could know their whereabouts at any time. Ao Sayan was obviously impatient, and when the Princess galleon finally docked at the dock of Weihai Port, Pang Yu and the others saw that he had already led people to wait there early.

"Wow...... Old Ao, why have you become so haggard? ”

When everyone here first saw O Sayan, they were almost unrecognizable—they hadn't seen him for a winter, and his sunny face was now full of scruffs, and he had dyed all around his mouth black, plus a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and a bloated military coat...... It's like a green-skinned panda.

"Alas, the winter on the mainland is so cold......"

Ao Sayan rubbed his hands and stomped his feet as soon as they met, they had been nesting in the warm Hainan Island for the past few years, and they did not have any intuitive feeling about the so-called "Xiaoice climate at the end of the Ming Dynasty" that was blown by historians, and even if there were, it was all a good thing -- because the climate was cold and dry, Hainan Island did not receive so much precipitation in the rainy season, there were fewer typhoons, and there were not many floods and wind disasters. As for the most troublesome drought, it will certainly not be encountered in the southeast coastal area.

However, this time, Ao Sayan was hot-headed for a while, and volunteered to take over the task of staying in Weihaiwei, and he stayed behind in winter, which made it difficult for him to suffer now......

Shandong is classified as a warm temperate monsoon climate in modern times, and the coldest days in winter are only a few days, Ao Sayan also traveled to Shandong in winter in modern times, and felt that it was nothing more than that, no big deal, so he didn't care too much. But Ao Sayan didn't know anything - in modern times, the state stipulated that the north of the Huai River belonged to the heating area, and the hotel he stayed in and the shops he went to were all heated up, of course, he didn't feel cold, but where did he come from such a good thing in the Ming Dynasty!

-- After entering the wax moon, as soon as several heavy snowfalls fell, Ao Sayan could only look at the ice and snow and was stunned. Six or seven hundred of his brothers, all of whom came from the south. Although the staff group had made a lot of preparations in advance, and had prepared all kinds of winter clothing and all kinds of supplies, after all, the southerners could not adapt to it all at once, and they were frostbitten and caught a cold...... The number of sick and injured patients has increased dramatically.

As for the food, although they can ensure that they are full, most of the local noodles are the main dishes, and it is also a little difficult for the Qiong Navy soldiers who are accustomed to eating southern rice to adapt to the fact that the pancakes and green onions are placed in their mouths and crunched, and they occasionally eat fresh, and they can't stand eating like this every day. As for the supply of non-staple foodstuffs, it is even worse - there is no shortage of vegetables and meat, but there is no fresh food, and it is eaten and eaten with pickled products, which is far worse than when it was on Hainan Island.

So this winter Weihaiwei garrison can be described as miserable, Chinese New Year's Eve night, they got together to sing "The White-Haired Girl" in the middle of the night, which is called an empathetic ......

"Good brother, hard work!"

Listening to Ao Sayan's general account of what happened to them here, Xie Xi held his hand and shook it again and again, Ao Sayan is not a person who likes to complain, otherwise he would add a sum when he forwarded Chen Tao's telegram asking for help, and the rear would definitely increase the logistics supply to this side - even Chen Tao's single one sent two boats over, not to mention that there were hundreds of people here, and they were still ordered to stay. It is necessary to send an additional convoy of transports for them separately

However, Ao Sayan never opened this opening, and only collected logistics materials according to the original plan. At this time, after meeting with the supply fleet, he only listed some practical difficulties, but everyone here can fully appreciate his hardships. Xie Xi felt even more ashamed -- as a native of Shandong, it was natural for him to stay in his hometown, but in the end, he made Taiwan Aberdeen suffer a lot, and he was really a little embarrassed.

After meeting at the dock, Ao Sayan took them to see the topography of the new base in Weihaiwei. They were not idle this winter, and basically opened up the territory of the entire Weihai base according to the general plan left by Pang Yu.

Weihaiwei originally belonged to the garrison of the Ming army, including a large garrison fortress of a certain scale, and around the coastline, set up more than a dozen beacon piers in key areas, each pier was stationed a number of soldiers, once the enemy approached at sea, immediately smoke to warn, there was a very complete warning system - but that only played a role in the Hongwu era in the early Ming Dynasty, and later in the era of Qi Jiguang's resistance to the Japanese. Once the peace was settled, with the rapid corruption of the feudal army, the garrison army here quickly degenerated into an out-and-out farmer.

The area that Pang Yu and others fancy is where the Beiyang Naval Division was stationed in later generations, and most of their base plans imitate the design of the Beiyang Naval Division's naval base. Including the plan in the future to build large forts on the north and south shores of the port, as well as on Liugong Island, Huangdao, Ridao and other places on the sea, to build permanent wharves, docks, gun repair yards, ammunition factories, as well as military quarters, hospitals, and many other facilities, the whole plan is very huge -- because the staff group has made detailed plans for the use of the Weihai base.

At present, it is used as a fulcrum of the Qiong Navy in North China, and the land and navy armies placed here are very flexible, and can be used to threaten the Jurchens on the Liaodong Peninsula under the current form of friendship with the Ming Empire, and can also be directly placed in Tianjin to support the capital of the Ming Dynasty - the capital of the Ming Empire has been threatened by the Manchurian army many times in history, and the second year of Chongzhen is just the beginning, and there is a good toss in the back.

Of course, if they needed it, they could also do it themselves, attack the capital of the Ming Dynasty along the same route, or let the army set off from here to take Jinan, and then whether they went south to Jiangsu, Zhejiang or north, the division was only in the mind of the planner...... The degree of freedom is very large.

In the long run, it is only more than 130 nautical miles away from North Korea and very close to Japan, and after the mainland issue is resolved, it is very convenient to station a main fleet here to control the East Asian sea.

Therefore, the scale of the planned Weihaiwei base is also very large, the army plan is to station 3,000 people, and the navy requires no less than 10,000.

And Oshayan has been busy with this all winter - according to the future plan, a large plot of land. Most of these places belonged to the local garrison, and some of them were the private land of local bureaucrats and landlords, as well as a very small amount of land belonging to ordinary peasants.

"Basically, they are all occupied, and only a few nail households are still talking, but it is estimated that the problem is not big."

Ozhayan led them up a small hill nearby to watch, and the black dirt stood out in the snow—the area that had been freshly turned out for road construction. The Joan navy does not use walls to enclose territory, they prefer to use roads. Wherever they see a new road, it's definitely their short-haired territory.

"So many circles? I guess I used a lot of illegal means. ”

Pang Yu smiled, Taiwanese boy snorted, helped his glasses and said:

"Look down on me? The means were used, but the landlords absolutely voluntarily handed over the land - if coercive measures were used, there would not even be a single nail household! ”

Immediately Ao Sayan informed them of the process of occupying the land, which was nothing more than a process of negotiation and trading, for those land that originally belonged to the government or the garrison, it was the easiest to occupy it directly, and if there was anything to say to them to negotiate with the Ming government. The people of the land will keep it anyway, and they will not suffer any loss.

On the contrary, private land was a little more troublesome, and Osayaan came forward to negotiate with them, on the one hand, spending money to buy it, and on the other hand, promising to exchange land from the southern islands with them, and one acre of middle-yielding land here could be exchanged for two or even three acres of high-yield land there......

If ordinary people talk so much to persuade those big landlords, saying that they want to use the ghost to know which corner of the land in exchange for the acres in front of them, they will definitely be beaten out of the door as a madman. But Shorthair is different, since the suppression of the Dengzhou rebels, Shorthair's reputation in Shandong is even higher than that of the imperial court. The local people now believe that what Shorthair said and what he made was definitely counted.

On the other hand, when the Dengzhou rebels were rampant, these local bigwigs were really frightened. Even if the rebellion is put down now, people still have to consider whether this place is safe or not? Shorthair's request to change land is also an opportunity for them, even if they refuse to change to the island, it is also a way to sell the land for a sum of money to develop in the south of the Yangtze River and Zhejiang......

It was by virtue of his good reputation in this regard that Ao Sayan gradually took over the land that had been enclosed within the base one by one, and as for those who had not yet been able to talk about it, it was only out of caution that they asked to send someone to the island to see it first, and to confirm that the land there was indeed a zài, and that it was really as high as the "Ao Chief" had promised, and then they were willing to exchange it......

Of course, this condition is easy for the Qiong Navy to meet, so Ao Sayan is so confident, saying that it will not be long before those people will agree to the exchange, so that the land needed for the new base in Weihai will be complete. RO！ ~！
