The construction team under the command of Liu Shanxia completed the construction of 30 large military tents and 20 simple bamboo and wood huts before dark. Each tent can accommodate 20 people, and the bamboo and wood hut can accommodate 10 people, which can solve the accommodation problem of about 800 people. As for the rest, they will have to make do with it on the boat tonight, but fortunately, the ship has already docked, and it will not be as bumpy on the boat as it is during the voyage.

This time, the colonization team brought more than a dozen cauldrons all came in handy, and under the command of the militia, the immigrants lined up in front of the cauldron in a column all the way to wait for the meal. Today's dinner is rice porridge and vegetables, although there is no oil and water, but at least it is full. The Executive Committee attached great importance to this overseas colonization operation, and even allocated nearly half of the food reserves to the colonization team in case of emergency. With the current size of the population, there is no problem in ensuring the supply of food from the fleet for more than two months. The land near the port was too limited to be used for large-scale agricultural development, and once the colonization team had taken root here, they would send people to the grain-producing areas east of Hanoi to buy grain.

Of course, as the time-travelers of the ruling class and the naturalized people who followed the travelers all the way from the base camp to this place, they all had small stoves, and they could enjoy all kinds of game and meat brought out from Hainan. Although it is not much for everyone, it is still a bit oily, and the most important thing is that naturalized people can only reflect the difference in treatment with new immigrants when they have meat to eat. Many children stared at this line of meaty smells, saliva hanging on the corners of their mouths, and the elders didn't know it.

However, this unfair situation will not last long, and starting tomorrow morning, the command will let the fishermen who have come with their belongings go out to sea to fish, and organize small hunting teams to hunt some wild animals in the vicinity to replenish their meat.

After dinner, the people of the command returned to the conference room one after another, and began to prepare for the regular meeting in the evening. At the appointed time, the headquarters first contacted the Executive Committee via Guò Radio, briefly reported the progress there, and then listened to the latest instructions from the Executive Committee.

In addition to congratulating the colonization team on their arrival at their destination, the executive committee also informed the colonization team of the news that after the internal vote of the executive committee passed the resolution of Guò, the new port was named Heitu Port by a result of 6 to 2. Gu Kai, who was in the colonization team, did not participate in this vote, and of course, the vote in his hand could not change the result. The name is also simple and easy to understand, vivid and vivid, and there is coal buried all over the ground, isn't that black soil?

After the brief contact with the Executive Committee, the next step was to summarize the situation and discuss the next steps of the work. First of all, Liu Shanxia, who was in charge of the project command, put forward his opinion: "Building a prefabricated house is a technical job, and we basically have to do it ourselves, so there is nothing we can do." But we can let these immigrants help build the boathouse, and we brought a dozen or so workers from the base camp who can build the boathouse, so that they can command these Vietnamese, so that the efficiency will be a little faster. In addition, I will have to allocate some more men tomorrow, or there will be people who will not be able to go ashore for the night tomorrow night. ”

After getting Gu Kai's affirmative answer, Liu Shanxia continued: "The wharf by the sea can only be used in the trestle type now, and we have not been able to build a permanent wharf for the time being, and it is enough to have forty or fifty people to repair the trestle." Now there are many places to use wood, and the people of the logging team need to arrange more, otherwise they will probably be held back by wood. ”

"We can organize migrants to cut down trees and clear the passages at the same time, so that we can open up the land route between the port and the mining area. Zhou Hengxing said: "In this way, when Lao Liu's engineering team starts to build the road, it can also save a lot of work." ”

"And the guy from the United States who didn't serve as an engineer? Tomorrow you can bring your tools and go to map the route first and make preliminary preparations. Liu Shanxia added.

"Ok, no problem, just leave it to me. Qiao Zhiya raised his hand and said, "By the way, my name is Qiao Zhiya." ”

"You'd better be careful when you organize migrants to cut down trees in the forest, because one of the migrants was bitten by a snake coming out of the grass before dinner, and he hung up before he could be treated. Qian Tiandun, who had just entered the tent, interjected: "There are a lot of poisonous insects in this kind of place, so I asked people to organize immigrants to dig a separation ditch outside the residential area, and in the future, wherever there are people in the future, the ground must be cleaned up." ”

Epidemics, poisonous insects, and beasts of prey are undoubtedly the most deadly threats in the tropical forest, and although the colonization team has made various preparations for this before setting off, it is still inevitable that there will be such a loss of manpower. Fortunately, this unlucky ghost is not a traverser, otherwise the nature of the minor accident would immediately rise to a serious accident.

"Report!" said someone outside the tent.

Qian Tiandun got up and went out for a while, and soon returned to the tent: "Something happened in the immigration camp, I have to go over and deal with it." ”

"What's wrong?" Gu Kai saw that his face was not good, and immediately asked.

"A couple of guys are restless, but they've been caught by our guys. Qian Tiandun put his hat on his head and said gloomily: "These monkeys are indeed inherently dishonest! It seems that they really have to kill a few chickens and set up rules." ”

Although Qian Tiandun did not explain what happened, it seemed that the situation was obviously a bit strict, otherwise there would be no need for him, the military commander, to personally come forward to solve it. Several minds exchanged glances with each other, decided to suspend the meeting, and followed Qian Tiandun out of the tent to see what was going on first.

The camp is located at the foot of the hill at the southern end of the port, while the migrant settlement is located closer to the west inland. In order to facilitate management, the colonization team divided the newly arrived immigrants into two battalions, men and women, separated by a special fence. Militia guards are stationed around the camp, and mobile patrols patrol the entire camp from time to time.

Even so, something eventually happened. A group of men from Command quickly arrived at the women's camp at the southern end of the camp.

Four young men were on their knees with their hands tied behind their backs. There was a teenager next to him who was crying profusely. Gao Qiao Nan was guarding with a few militiamen, and when he saw Qian Tiandun coming, he hurriedly stood up and saluted.

Qian Tiandun raised his hand to return the salute, and then asked, "What's the matter?"

"About ten minutes ago, these guys robbed the two siblings of their belongings, and they may have resisted, so they killed the elder sister in a hurry. I happened to be passing by with the patrol and caught these guys red-handed. Takahashi Minami pointed to the tree a few feet away: "The girl's body is there, and they probably want to drag her into the woods." ”

Gao Qiao Nan pointed like this, and Qian Tiandun found a corpse lying in the grass under the tree. He walked over and crouched down, and immediately a militiaman next to him held a torch to illuminate it. Qian Tiandun checked it a little and noticed that there were obvious bruises on the neck of the female corpse, and the traces were suffocated by someone by choking the neck. This girl doesn't look very old, and she is estimated to be a high school student in the future.

"Do these people have any accomplices?" asked Qian Tiandun after getting up.

"No, there are only a few people at the scene, and none of them escaped!" Takahashi Minami was obviously very proud of his appearance.

Qian Tiandun pointed at the young man who was still crying and said, "Which of you can get him away first? ”

"I'll do it. Zhou Hengxing, who was good at dealing with people, volunteered to step forward and took the young man away half-persuaded and half-pushed.

"Takahashi Minami, clean up here. The victim...... Carry them to the camp and find a corner for the night, so that the wild beasts don't gnaw at them. Be careful not to disturb the people in the camp, and if anyone asks, say they have been bitten by snakes. Qian Tiandun then ordered: "These four people are escorted to the headquarters." ”

The trial process did not take much effort, and the facts of the case were soon revealed. These four guys are deserters who ran out of the Hue battlefield, they followed the colonization team to the Black Earth Harbor, originally wanted to live here with food and drink, but seeing that everyone who came here was assigned a lot of labor tasks, and also subject to strict management, even had to queue up for food and thatched houses, and the days were not as easy as imagined, so they moved their hearts to leave here.

But it is not easy to leave this isolated place, according to these Haihan people, the nearest populated place is more than 100 miles away from here, and there is no flat land route to the outside world, and the only way to leave here is to take a boat. In order for them to escape from this place, they must have a ship, and second, they must have enough supplies to consume on the way to escape.

The boat is relatively easy to say, these people have already looked at the few small wooden boats on the shore, as long as they leave here overnight, and then wait until dawn to find a small island nearby to hide for three or four days, the chance of escaping the pursuers will be very high. But the supply is not so easy to handle, the three meals of the Haihan people are distributed collectively, and there is only porridge and no dry food, it is impossible for one person to escape with a bamboo tube of porridge, right?

One of them stumbled upon a teenager in the same tent who had some dry food in his luggage, and he planned to rob him of him. After dinner, the boy left the men's camp with his package, and went to the women's camp to find his sister, who was going to hand over the dry food, belongings, and other things to her for safekeeping, after all, the women's camp was relatively safer than the men's camp.

But at this time, the four thieves appeared, but unfortunately their robbery process was not smooth, because everyone was searched before they got on the boat, and they had nothing to threaten each other, so they could only rely on robbing with their bare hands, and as a result, they suffered desperate resistance from the two siblings. Two of them, fearing that they would cry, pressed their sister to the ground and strangled her neck, which killed her. It just so happened that Takahashi Minami passed by here with a team of militia patrols, and it didn't take much effort to wipe out these guys.
