Not only is the world changing fast, but the two cities of Wanghai and Linjiang are also changing rapidly.

The time entered August, and it was only three months since Lin Bei and the people of Xishan Township settled in Wanghai City, and Wanghai City had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Planting trees, cultivating fields, drying salt, fishing, making paper and publishing books, these are the people's livelihood, the development is impressive, bicycles, steam carriages, steam boats, attacking the Wabo tribe, and setting up a new Linjiang city, these are military, under the leadership of Lin Bei, the Wanghai people have not pulled down anything, especially the research and development of steam carriages and steam boats, so that the pride of the Wanghai people has reached the peak, what about being in the extreme south of the Han Domain, and what about the outstanding people of the Central Plains? What we got out, those people in the Central Plains couldn't get it, and now, we Wanghai is going to attack the natives again, and it's a foreigner, what is this called? That's right, Lord Ryujin said, this is called raising the prestige of our country.

To attack the Fengsi tribe is very early An Zhongzhi has already informed the people, not only the Fengsi tribe, but also the Haka tribe, the ten major tribes of the Pufeng people have to fight, just because some things have been postponed for the time being, after entering August, Lin Beixia's first order is to prepare for war in the whole city, preparing to take down the two tribes of Fengsi and Haka within this month and include them in the territory of Wanghai City.

Ten steamships slowly drove into the dock, five of them were former medium-wing ships, and five were newly built ships, said to be big ships, in fact, they were not big, only four zhang long, and they could almost load 40,000 catties of goods when they were loaded, and the ten ships could load 250,000 catties of goods together.

As soon as the ten boats entered the dock, porters rushed up. After the coal is loaded onto the wagon, the wagon will start and drive to the outpost camp of Jiuzhen County, this outpost camp is the foot of point A of the Changshan Mountain Range in the past, and the outpost camp will transport the coal up the mountain to point B of the former dense forest, and now of course it has changed its name, called the dense forest transfer station. The coal is then transported to Linjiang City by cargo ships from the transfer station.

All this coal will be turned into fuel. One is used to refine iron ore, and the other is used as the power of steam engines to supply the huge fleet of Linjiang City, which has more ships than Wanghai City. After all, it's a battle on a big river.

Under the orders of Lin Bei. The natives also began to pave the way towards Missenri. Because the section of the road from Wanghai to the outpost camp of Jiuzhen County has been paved, the stone road from Wanghai City to the outpost camp on this road is more than 250 miles long, which is a not very good number. But no one minds, the width of the road is up to two zhang, except for Lin Bei, everyone thought that this road was very wide, but with the steam carriage running back and forth, the Wanghai people felt that the road seemed to be really not big, An Zhongzhi was already thinking, and so on to capture the Haka and Fengsi tribes, all the natives of these two tribes had to be captured to build the road, at least the road had to be doubled to four zhang, otherwise the steam carriage was a little out of the way.

Hearing An Zhongzhi's chatter, Lin Bei was very happy in his heart, these ancient people are slowly changing their concepts under his influence, which is very good, not only science and technology should be advanced, people's concepts can not be pulled down, in the past, the first thing people thought of when they went out was to ride a horse or take a carriage, and now when Wanghai people go out, the first thing they think of is a bicycle, and then a steam carriage and a steam boat, which is the progress of concepts.

"How many big ships have been built over there in Linjiang City?"

"There are thirty-four four-zhang ships, eleven five-zhang ships, and two seven-zhang ships, all of which have been equipped with steam engines, and the craftsmen are now trying to build ten-zhang ships." An Zhongzhi still knows a lot about this aspect.

"How many sergeants can these ships carry?"

"With the small boats that began to be built, more than 2,000 sergeants can be transported at one time."

"Attacking the Winds tribe should be enough, right?"

"My lord, the Fengsi tribe is a clown who jumps off the beam, insignificant, the sergeants are already eager to try, Zhang Chengdu has complained several times, and wants to fight for the adults."

Lin Bei thought about it, the difference in strength between the Fengsi tribe and the Wabo tribe is not big, although they are prepared, but now the people of Wanghai City are also prepared, and they are more prepared, the ship can transport two thousand people at a time, far from being comparable to the last five hundred soldiers, since this is the case, then let's fight.

"Master, you write a military report to Zhang Cheng, and let him raise troops to attack the Fengsi tribe in two days, and strive for a battle."

Bian Ji nodded, he didn't feel that something was wrong, with the strength of the Fengsi tribe, a thousand commanders with two thousand sergeants is indeed more than enough, and there is no need for others to come out at all, as for Lin Bei, even less, every time he has to be supervised by Lord Longshen, so what do you have to do with your subordinates?

After the military report was issued, An Zhong directly told the whole city, and soon, the people of Wanghai knew that they were ready to fight the Fengsi tribe, but the people of Wanghai lived as usual, leisurely, and after Lin Bei came out to inspect, he felt very proud in surprise, because this means that the people of Wanghai are very confident.

This kind of confidence is not pretended, but emanates from the bones, representing the confidence of the Wanghai people in the current regime, Lin Bei thinks that he is doing a good job, which has made Lin Bei very excited, and he did not disappoint the Wanghai people.

On the second day after the military report was sent, Cui Lan rushed to the city lord's mansion and asked Lin Bei for battle, saying that she would lead the army to attack the Fengsi tribe, but Lin Bei refused with a smile.

"A mere Fengsi native, can still let our dolphins go on the expedition? I look up to them too much, let's go next time I fight the Haka tribe. ”

Bian Ji and An Zhongzhi thought deeply about this, killing chickens with a knife? Too big and too big to use.

On the morning of the fourth day of the war report, the sound of the horse breaking the quiet atmosphere, a panting fast horse into the city, saw the horse sergeant behind a few military flags, many people in Wanghai knew that this was Linjiang City to send the military report back, and although the face of the horse sergeant was full of sweat, but they were all happy.

"Linjiang City Battle Report, Great Victory!! Linjiang City Battle Report, Great Victory!! ”

The Wanghai people who heard the good news cheered a few times, and then they took it for granted, and sometimes they would recite a few words in their mouths: I knew that the natives would definitely not be able to do it, and then, when walking, the waist board was straighter.

Lin Bei naturally got the news quickly, and of course he was happy. However, he did not lose his temper, he had the same psychology as all Wanghai people, and this victory was a matter of course.

"Come, bring meat and wine."

Let the sergeant who sent the military intelligence drink wine to quench his thirst, eat some food to fill his stomach, and read the military report written by Zhang Cheng.

This was a great victory, this time 2,000 sergeants were dispatched, and only nine of our sergeants were killed, less than 100 were wounded, and more than 500 natives were killed. Nearly 4,000 natives were taken captive. Among them, there were 23 Han women, and more than 20 boats were seized, all of which were small boats. Iron ore several. A number of jade. There is a lot of food, and the most important thing is that there is also an iron mine near the Fengsi tribe, and there should be more than that. It's just that after the Yizhou Jin family got the news that the Wapo tribe was defeated, they immediately left with ships and goods, including three ships of iron mines.

Bian Ji and An Zhongzhi also rushed to the city lord's mansion, Lin Bei handed the military report to the two, and when they finished reading it, Lin Bei opened his mouth to praise: "Zhang Cheng did a good job this time." ”

"Thanks to the blessings of your lordship, our soldiers have all died bravely, so that we can achieve today's victory."

Lin Bei is now accustomed to this kind of sycophancy, so he just didn't hear it: "In this way, the natives of my Wanghai City have increased to more than 6,000 people, and the construction speed will be greatly accelerated, but the more natives, the greater the chance of them making trouble, loyalty, you must pay attention to this, and be sure to let the sergeant guard carefully." ”

"Don't worry, sir."

Subsequently, Lin Bei asked Bian Ji to add another stroke to the map, this map is the map around Wanghai City, the sea area and the dense forest are marked, seeing that the map has expanded a little, Lin Bei laughed, this sense of achievement is also very intoxicating.

"Now take the Mekong River as the starting point, nearly 400 miles of the river belong to the land of my Wanghai City, the estuary, Linjiang City, Wanghai City, the triangle in the middle should also send people into it, to see if there are any natives, if not, then look for mineral deposits, just let these captured natives build roads in the forest, in addition, I plan to build a forest road between Linjiang City and Fengsi tribe, and the transfer station, and communicate with each other, what do you think?"

The lower reaches of the Mekong River in Linjiang City have been explored, about more than 200 miles is the estuary, a total of several estuary, forming a lot of alluvial plain terrain, but there are no people there, the plants are mostly reeds, and the aquatic products are also abundant, Lin Bei remembers that the sea area should be called the Gulf of Thailand in later generations, and now it will definitely not be this name, and now there is a shortage of manpower, and Lin Bei did not send farmers to reclaim the land there.

An Zhongzhi looked at the map and said with some emotion: "My lord, every time I hear your plan, Zhongzhi feels excited, if the road in this triangle is repaired, plus the second road of Linjiang, Fengsi and the transfer station, this vast dense forest will completely enter the pocket of my Wanghai City, with the steam carriage, we can travel unhindered in the forest." ”

Bian Ji also smiled: "The adult's enthusiasm for road construction is indeed the first person that the students have seen, but with the steam carriage, this road construction is indeed the top priority for me in Wanghai City." ”

If there is no fast means of transportation such as steam carriages, building roads is just a waste of manpower and material resources, but now, Bian Ji and An Zhongzhi are not opposed, but quite agree, the wider the road, the greater the role of the steam carriage, the transportation capacity of the steam carriage has been affirmed by everyone in Wanghai, this is a new type of tool that is far more advanced than ordinary carriages.

Lin Bei smiled and said: "There is another thing, you should have also discovered, the mountain road between the outpost camp and the transfer station hinders the transportation efficiency of the steam carriage, therefore, the Changshan Mountain Range must be conquered first, Zhongzhi, you should send someone to explore the mountain range from south to north to see where the mountain range is lower, and after the road must be built, the steam carriage can be directly connected to Guò, and then we will pave the road towards the forest from there." ”

"Loyalty, sir, what if there is no such low place?"

"Then force a cave, I want to see that in the near future, the steam carriage can go straight from Wanghai City to Linjiang and the Fengsi tribe, oh, the Fengsi tribe is now a thing of the past, for the time being, let's call it Fengsi City, don't build too much, wait until the Haka tribe is captured and then build a big city." Lin Bei is really ambitious, and the Haka tribe has not yet been laid, and Lin Bei is already in the planning.

"No." Bian Ji and An Zhong said that they were the lord with such ambitions, and they felt very excited. (To be continued......)
