Chapter 169: The Problem of the Ship

Expecting a layman to guide an insider to work is a ridiculous thing in itself. Chen Xie would not do such a stupid thing, so the technical things should be left to the technical professionals to do. What Chen Xie has to do is just a reminder of his thinking.

It's a pity that this is the Ming Dynasty, and the natural sciences are basically blank, and Chen Xie can only try his best to grasp a little more information, and then make some possible hints in the details. Other favors basically can't help, it's all flickering. For example, I've just heard that it's okay, I know a way, I think it's a good way, and so on.

But the people of the Ming Dynasty were simple, and after listening to these words, the treatment was good, so let's do it. Eat and drink for nothing? You think beautifully!

When the weather was at its hottest, Chen Xie announced a holiday. The iron workshop was shut down to overhaul the equipment. There is no doubt that this is the exclusive benefit of the Ming Dynasty, the workers are grateful to Dade, and Sun Yuanhua, who ran to the ironmaking workshop twice in three days, had no choice but to give up and be his governor with peace of mind and deal with government affairs. He didn't mention anything about blacksmiths and craftsmen, and seeing the hope of forging better cannons, he was of course embarrassed to fool people with that kind of rotten cannon again. As for the defense of Dengzhou, looking at Chen Xie's tiger and wolf division, he is very relieved.

Master Chen, who blinded Governor Sun with his strange tricks, was really not idle at all. Of the 30,000 displaced people, more than half remained, and the others chose to return to Liaodong. Chen Xie, who went back, didn't care, among the people left, it was very easy to recruit a thousand strong men of school age. These men were brought into the barracks, along with 2,000 locally recruited young people, and put into training. This is the new regimental training camp.

After fighting a battle, some veterans with outstanding abilities were transferred out as instructors and grassroots officers in the regimental training battalion. Basically, the problem of group training was solved, Chen Xie went to Longkou again, Wang Qinian occupied the mountain in Huang County as the king, and the county ordered Wu Shiyang to have no way to take him. Fortunately, Chen Xie's soldiers were disciplined and never harassed the place, and they seized the Longkou Wharf, or for expansion, which was not a big problem. Bear with it if you can.

In fact, Wu Shiyang also has to thank Wang Qinian. After this new garrison was stationed in the county seat, all the green-skinned scoundrels who had been established were quickly cleaned up and thrown into the coal mines to dig coal. Not doing a good job? Hmph, when the night is dark and the wind is high. It's too easy to kill someone. Don't bury it even if you play. Throw it into the abandoned mine.

Wang Qinian also brought with him the habit of loving cleanliness, and a group of former garrison soldiers were organized to sweep the floor every day. Countless sanitary dead corners have been cleaned up, this is not counting, these people put on red armbands, began to run around the city, littering was discovered, went up is a meal said, after saying that it does not count, but also let people pick up and throw in the trash can.

It's been tossing for a while, everyone is used to it, and suddenly these red armbands have found various merchants, the meaning is very clear, it is not easy for us to do hygiene, just give some wages, not more, three pennies a month. Naturally, it won't work, who wants to pay for it. Unexpectedly, when I woke up one morning, the red armbands on the street disappeared en masse, and no one cleaned up the garbage heap, and the nature of the matter changed. One day or two days is fine, but three days and four days can't bear it. Especially in the summer, the public toilet is not taken care of, and the stinky one, the whole street is smoked and can't get out. Some merchants and large households, usually just throw the garbage into the bucket at the door, but now no one cares, and the smoke can't resist, so they all go to the county to trouble. They didn't have the courage to look for Wang Qinian.

Wu Shiyang didn't care about this matter at all, and sent it all away. Accustomed to a clean environment, let them go back to living in a dirty environment, that is really life-threatening. There was no way, and in the end, these big families came up with a way to let their family clean up the garbage or something. As a result, as soon as he started, he smashed back the flying stones, and the perpetrators were some half-old children.

In the end, these people can only compromise and pay obediently. This is all a trivial matter, and more ruthless things are yet to come. These red armbands are really wide, and you have to care how the carriage goes. You have to go to the right-hand side, or you won't be allowed to go. How could the big families coax this, the family came up like wolves and found that a hundred and ten people rushed out of the corner, each with a stick in their hands, and they were beaten fat. Just for the sake of walking, I ended up paying a lot of medical expenses. This nest is on fire! Sue, must sue!

The result of this complaint is still inconclusive. Wu Shiyang spread his hands: "These people are lawless, and I can't do anything." Why don't you go to Wang Guerrilla to reason? ”

Find a fart! A rough killer, how to reason with you? Continue to complain, at one time go to the state capital to sue. As a result, when I arrived at Dengzhou Mansion, I found that walking here was the same, and there were people on the street who were taking care of hygiene. When I inquired again, I was despised. "People from small places come from small places, this is called urban management, understand? Don't you see how clean the streets are? Which of the big families in the city didn't come up with a lot of money to respond? This is the virtue of the governor's withdrawal! It's good for you guys, don't be ashamed to complain, get out of here. ”

Acquaintances don't give face anymore, and they feel ashamed. Returning to the county seat in a gloomy way, a group of people had to accept it obediently. Then wait for the opportunity to laugh at the outsiders and rednecks who don't understand the rules.

The weather gradually cooled down, and Sun Yuanhua once again devoted himself to his great cause of cannon casting, and those foreign devils were also very involved. Don't say it, under the research of these people, they quickly came up with a new artillery, which is more than a hundred pounds lighter than the previous red-coated cannon. This progress is quite gratifying, but there is still a gap between it and Chen Xie's kind of cannon.

Chen Xie is also bad, he can't see anyone all day long, Sun Yuanhua looked for him several times but couldn't find it, so he had to go back and continue to explore by himself.

It is also strange to say that Sun Yuanhua ignores government affairs, and everything in Dengzhou City is so orderly, except that Liaodongbing feels that he is not as comfortable as before, there is nothing wrong with anything else. The only thing that remains unchanged is that the locals still don't like these homeless people from Liaodong very much, and feel that they are not on the stage.

At this time, Kong Youde, although he was aggrieved, still tried his best to restrain his subordinates. After all, in this place, they occupy the majority of the money, and no matter how messy they are, they will be sorry for Sun Yuanhua's care. In general, the top and bottom of Dengzhou Mansion are relatively calm.

Compared to being calmer than people, Chen Xie can't be calm, and three thousand recruits need to be trained, which is never an easy thing. The training of the regimental training camp has its own set of rules, such as queues, physical fitness, discipline, and ideological education (brainwashing). The main reason why the Ming army could not fight was that it was physically weak.

A large amount of exercise required a lot of nutritional supplements, and the productivity of the Ming Dynasty obviously could not keep up with the provision of meat, poultry and eggs. Although Chen Xie has been working hard to guide the rural markets in Zhangjiazhuang and the surrounding areas, isn't it a short time? The previous territory was still a little smaller. And the pigs in the Ming Dynasty didn't grow so fast, and it was good to grow to more than 100 catties all year round.

The solution is simple, canned luncheon meat. This kind of thing that the US imperialist army eats and wants to vomit, in Daming, a meat-deficient territory, there will be no situation where they want to vomit after eating. At least not for a short time.

Chen Xie's schedule is very tight, and Chongzhen's three years are relatively peaceful, but for Chen Xie, the time is still too tight. Next year, the Ming Dynasty will have a lot of fun, and the thieves will cross the Yellow River and unravel the curtain of the peasant war like locusts crossing the border. It was out of control. Daling River, Sun Chengzong engaged in construction, Huang Taiji led troops to carry out demolition, and there was a vicious battle on both sides.

Chen Xie didn't plan to miss this battle, so he had to pay close attention to training, and at the same time, he had to get a boat. Considering the rebellion of Kong Youde and others, Chen Xie's troops could not be invested too much. Now that the battle is full, Chen Xie's infantry has 20 teams, with a total strength of about 6,000. That's it, it's beyond the scope of Chen Xie's position to lead troops.

The Dengzhou Sailor has ships, but they are all small ships, not to mention that compared with European galleons, they are far worse than the nearby Zheng family. When it comes to sailors, there is no shortage of sailors in Dengzhou. As long as the banner is raised and he says that he wants to recruit people, the Dengzhou sailor can run away by half. Now everyone in Dengzhou knows that Master Chen's family is well treated, and the treatment of being a soldier is also good.

It can be seen that a person's reputation is very important, especially in the Ming Dynasty. Now the problem is the problem of the boat, where to get the boat back?

Chen Xie figured out that the Portuguese would get a few Galen ships over, and when he inquired, he learned that the Europeans did not have enough of their own ships, the shipyards were too busy, and it was too far to go back to Europe, so it was one thing to come back or not. Chen Xie had no choice but to temporarily die of the idea of getting a ship from Europe.

It was still Liu Qingtong's commercial relationship, and he got five boats from Fujian and Guangdong. No, Liu Qing came to Zhangjiazhuang early in the morning to report the incident. Chen Xie was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked for details. Liu Qing reported that these five boats were not easy to come by. Since sending goods to Tianjin once, Liu Qing has left some thoughts, asking agents in Fujian and Guangdong provinces to help pay attention to whether they can buy a few boats. It's still Chen Xie's banner. It means that Doctor Chen wants to be a water master, and everyone will watch it. This matter is still very serious for agents, after all, a lot of money is earned every year, and it is not possible to do this kind of thing by getting a few boats, which is too uninteresting.

No, the ship was delivered last night, and the agent in Fujian got it, and Liu Qing hurriedly came to report the news.

"Okay, take me to see the boat." Chen Xie was very attentive and immediately went to the beach to see his boat. Along the way, Liu Qing also reported the price, saying that these ships are old, and the price is not cheap, so he should think of building his own ship, and there is no shortage of craftsmen anyway.

Chen Xie did not express his opinion on these changes, but decided to see what the ship from Fujian looked like before deciding. There is really no trick, so it is better to ask Wu Qi if she can get the wooden boat from modern society. It seems that if he wants to find an artificial wooden boat in modern society, Chen Xie ignored it. (To be continued......)
