"At present, the construction of Seogwipo Military Port and Commercial Port is being carried out in an orderly manner, and the breakwater has been built for more than 60 zhang, but due to the lack of manpower, the overall progress is very slow. (To read the latest chapter of this book, please visit the biquge.info of Wèn Aishang Novel Network) "An Long, who served as the Governor of Seogwipo as a lieutenant from Gopin Shoshin, has now almost become the contractor of the camp department, and he spends his days running around the construction site. "It is expected that the construction of the breakwater, the military port trestle and the maintenance yard can be completed by the end of the year, and the part of the barracks and commercial port needs to be delayed until the middle of next year, and the artillery forts and forts will be completed." An Long's words paused. "Because of the lack of manpower, construction can only start after the military camp and commercial port are completed, and it will take at least two years for the entire project to be completed."

There is a key word in An Long's words, "lack of manpower", yes, because Seogwipo was leased from North Korea by "selling himself" through GuΓ² Zheng Kezang, so it was not good for Ming Zheng to arrange immigration to Seogwipo on a large scale, and in order to give priority to ensuring the construction and safety of Ezo, An Long and Chu Jin discussed and transferred most of the strength of the first regiment of the Hailong Division, so that now Seogwipo only has half a middle base post and half a baggage post, but only 200 slave soldiers serve as construction laborers. Even if the Northern Fleet would send resting officers and men to participate in the construction, the overall progress was greatly delayed.

"In order to solve the problem of insufficient manpower, the staff department has a plan." Ying Tainong, who is in charge of the northern affairs of the Ministry Division, should be the division commander of An Long and An Long, the commander of the Northern Fleet, and now he is also the Fengzheng doctor of the fifth grade, although it seems that the official rank is not as good as Chu Jin's Cong Sipin Cloud Cavalry Captain, but he is a Wentu official, but he is not comparable to An and Chu as military attachΓ©s, so in fact, a situation has been formed in which the Staff Division is above the fleet and the Governor's Mansion. "The winter in Ezo is very cold, and all kinds of operations cannot be carried out, so it is better to transfer some of the miners back at that time, so that the construction of Seogwipo can be accelerated, and secondly, the pressure on the supply of Ezo can be reduced."

"What the teacher said makes sense, I think it's okay." Chu Jin nodded in agreement, and along this line of thought, he made further plays. "The shipwrights of the Ezo Shipyard can also be transferred back after the winter, so that these great workers and craftsmen will suffer less from the bitter cold, and secondly, the two shipyards can take turns to work, and shipbuilding and ship repair will not be delayed."

"Just discuss with Ma Yuan, in winter, keep three or two sentry posts and cannon posts in Ezo to take care of the materials." An Long also agreed. "I think there are five or six hundred people here, it's enough to deter these Ainu and Matsumae clans." Speaking of this, An Long's voice hesitated. "But who's going to talk to Ma Yuan about this?"

"Let's draw up a submission first, and when the document is ready, I'll take it to Ezo to talk to Ma Yuan." Ying Tainong took the initiative to take responsibility. "However, if Ma Yuan is willing to transfer the craftsmen back to Seogwipo, in addition to using the craftsmen of the Seogwipo shipyard as bargaining chips, it is also necessary to negotiate with the North Koreans to buy big wood, otherwise I heard that the craftsmen who have been transferred back have nothing to do, and it will be impossible to let Ma Jinping release them in the coming year."

"It takes a lot of work from those who are able to do so." An Long said that there is a reason for this, and it must be known that Ying Tainong still appeared as the owner of the Ming Zheng Merchant Pavilion this time, so it is within the scope of his business to conduct business negotiations with the North Koreans.

"I can talk to the North Koreans, but the key is how much supplies we can get out." Since the income of the Salt and Iron Division and the manager has a targeted place and a strict review process, it cannot be misappropriated at will, so in order to obtain additional goods, it is necessary to find a way to make a dojo in a snail shell. "You two don't be sloppy, I know you have extra special weapons stockpiles."

"The teacher is really well-informed." An Long and Chu Jin glanced at each other, and a little wry smile appeared on their faces. "When I took office, the Military Affairs Department allocated me 500 bird guns and 20 Franc cannons as expenses for the Seogwipo Governor's Office this year." These materials in An Long's mouth were captured by Zheng Jun from the Qing army that attacked Taiwan for the second time, because they did not match the weapons currently used by Zheng Jun, so they were widely sold as export commodities, and Ming Zheng was now extremely financially tight, so the Military Affairs Department, which could not get the money, simply used ordnance instead of military expenses to offset the various governors' offices. "In addition, there are 200 barrels of gunpowder for the Qing Army (green) to build for sale, if the teacher needs it, he will take it together."

"I don't have any extra bird guns and Franc cannons on my side, but the Military Affairs Department has allocated four Thunderbolt Trucks for the Army Division, and an additional hundred barrels of sulfur, which can also be handed over to the teacher for deployment."

"Lord Zhao, is this the old camp?" Looking at the hidden camp that appeared in front of him again, Ma Mingpeng, who had already encountered similar camps several times, couldn't help but look at Zhao Pingwei who was acting as a guard next to him (recommended by book friend Manson 2003). "Isn't it another meeting point?"

Before Zhao Pingwei could answer, a middle-aged man on the side of the road who was trying to lift the stone lock unsuccessfully looked up and saw Ma Mingpeng's face, and then couldn't help shouting: "General Ma, is it you?" I'm Xu Wenlun, Wu Yingqi (note: Wu Sangui's nephew) Xu Wenlun under the command of Wu Deputy Dutong (recommended by book friend manson 2003), do you remember me? ”

The so-called things are wrong, squinting his eyes for a while, Ma Mingpeng recognized the unrecognizable other party: "Are you Xu Shenling?" ”

Ma Mingpeng looked back at Zhao Pingwei, Zhao Pingwei nodded, and Ma Mingpeng stepped forward to meet the old tearful other party: "I didn't expect to meet Brother Xu here, but I didn't expect that we were all alive." ”

"Yes, there are too many people who have died, and I knew that this should not have come down in the first place." After saying a few words, the two big men hugged each other and cried. "Think about those good brothers, who did not die on the battlefield, but were starved to death and tortured to death, as well as our wives and children, who died too unjustly one by one"

After reining in his tears, Ma Mingpeng turned his head to look, but found that Zhao Pingwei and the others who brought him back were gone, so he wiped his face indiscriminately and asked Xu Wenlun, who arrived before him: "Old Xu, you came early, do you know where this is?" How do I think I'm still outside the gates? ”

"It should be in Changbai Mountain, we haven't gone too far." Xu Wenlun nodded at Zheng Jun, who rode out from time to time. "Brother Ma, do you think the Zheng family's people have good intentions to rescue us?"

"What do you mean by that?" Ma Mingpeng humbly asked for advice. "Didn't it mean that the youngest son of the little county lord of the Geng clan and Shang Kexi fell into the hands of the Zheng family, and Zhu Qin, who inherited the throne of Zhu Jin, only sent someone to save us after listening to the pillow wind of the little county lord of the Geng family?"

"It doesn't sound like a fake, but what about after saving us?" A sneer appeared on Xu Wenlun's face. "Thousands of miles from Dongning to Liaodong, can a pillow wind make Dongning spend such a big price? If this is really the case, the ministers of Dongning will turn a blind eye one by one? In my opinion, it is necessary to drive us to fight with Beijing again. ”

Ma Mingpeng gritted his teeth and said: "When you see a battle, you see a battle, Lao Tzu still wants to take revenge." ”

"I'm not afraid to do it again with Beijing, but I'm just a bonone." Xu Wenlun pointed to the stone lock on the ground. "It used to be like a joke, but now it's not like it. And. Xu Wenlun lowered his voice. Why fight the world for the Zheng family's business. ”

"After all, they saved us." Ma Mingpeng is still kind. "It's right to die a long time ago."

"Although what you say is true, if Brother Ma can set up a banner by himself, I will do it with you."

Although Xu Wenlun's words were full of temptation, Ma Mingpeng shook his head: "Even if you and I can gather people, what about food?" What about weapons? Don't rely on Dongning to help, do you think Dongning people are stupid and defenseless? ”

Xu Wenlun thought for a while and sat down on the ground: "Yes, now we are still in Liaodong, and there are people in armor outside, it is too early to say this, let's see what Dongning does with us." ”

Xu Wenlun's words were obviously coincidental, his voice had just landed, and there was a greeting from there. By the time the two of them heard the news passed by, a pot of hot soup had already emitted an attractive aroma.

"It's lined up." The people of Dongning commanded, and at the same time handed out chopsticks and oil cakes to everyone. "When you're done eating, you're on your way."

Hit the road? This pun reminded Ma Mingpeng of something, and when he grabbed the bread and served the soup, he didn't eat and drink immediately, but found Zhao Pingwei who was also holding a bowl on the side: "Lord Zhao, where are you going to go after eating?" ”

"It's better to come early than to be lucky." Zhao Pingwei replied while biting on this kind of bread that is not delicious for southerners. "Someone just wanted to go back to the old camp, so I took you with me."

Hearing the words Lao Ying again, Ma Mingpeng asked again: "Lao Ying? Where the hell is the old camp? ”

"Old battalion." Zhao Pingwei chuckled. "In a secret place, when you get there, you are truly safe."

Thinking of Xu Wenlun's words just now, Ma Mingpeng couldn't help but ask: "Then how to settle us after we arrive at the old camp?" ”

"Why are you afraid that Lord Wang was lying to you in the first place?" Zhao Pingwei explained with a solemn face. "Don't think nonsense, can you still do it with the Tartar with your body? It's better to go to the old camp to work and farm, and have a good time to spend the rest of your life, and as for those who really have the heart to repay, they will wait until they have taken care of their bodies. ”

Ma Mingpeng was relieved, left Zhao Pingwei's side in a sneer, found a place, and sweetly ate the food that he couldn't find in his dreams over the years, but not long after he sat down to eat, Xu Wenlun, who was a thief and a thief, came over again: "Brother Ma, what did you just say to the people of the Zheng family?" ”

Ma Mingpeng asked slowly and logically: "Old Xu, do you know how to do farm work?" ”

"It turns out that I've been holding the handle of the knife, but I've been forced by the armor man to know a little bit over the years."

"That's good, when we get to the old camp, if we really don't have to worry about the tartars, let's farm and eat ourselves, and we won't lick the blood with a knife again."
