Chapter 152: The First Step in Pioneering


Three days later, when the soldiers and Liao people recovered slightly, Zhao Lie immediately ordered the development operation to begin, and thousands of people began to get busy.

Please search for the most complete and fastest updated The first step is to establish a shipyard location in the bay, expand piers and trestles, and build forts.

Especially the forts.

Zhao Lie did not plan to build a large city.

He planned to build two forts on the hills surrounding both sides of the bay to block the sea.

Two forts near the pier guarded the trestle pier.

Build two large forts in the southeast and west directions of the planned future town location, and place giant cannons to garrison soldiers and horses.

They can bombard distant places, and also protect the town when the enemy reaches nearby and cooperate with counterattacks within the city.

Zhao Lie does not plan to build the city wall.

There is no plain around Fangmao, and the cavalry cannot deploy on a large scale.

As for the infantry attack, Zhao Lie believes that there is no infantry in the Far East that is more powerful than the Polu army under his command, even here.

It is impossible for an opponent with a large number of cavalry to appear on the island.

The money saved should be left to build cities in the plains.

Three thousand Liao residents, who had become strong after years of full food and work, were divided into several teams and got busy in an organized manner.

First of all, there are military camps, refugee camps, and horse farms.

These are places where people and horses rest.

Not only do they need to be built, but they also need to be built in larger areas.

More and more refugees are coming, and so are the horses.

After long voyages, people and horses are tired.

This is a place where people and horses rest.

A place to rest and recuperate before continuing further into the interior.

The Liao civilians and soldiers had experience in building military camps and refugee camps, and most of them had experience in construction on Jeju Island.

Zhao Lie ordered Gu Wuyue to serve as the guard officer of Fangmao Port.

Before the arrival of winter this year, his three-month task was to supervise the construction of Fangmao Port and wait for the arrival of a large group of refugees in the spring of next year to open up the plains.

Canadon asked Yanayahi to lead more than a hundred men to join the construction team.

In response to Zhao Lie's proposal, the Kawi Rotary tribe mobilized people to hunt to provide meat for the team.

Of course, this could also harvest money and food.

Groceries, this was decided upon by Canadon after discussion with Gu Wuyue.

Of course, Zhao Lie knew that Cana Dong was watching from the sidelines.

However, he firmly believed that when the interests of the whole family were combined with the Polu army, Canadon could only follow the Polu army in the end.

When Zhao Lie had nothing to do, he worked with the soldiers to build a military camp.

To build a camp in a forested area, the trees and weeds had to be cleared first.

Zhao Lie also worked with others to cut down the branches of the trees, leaving the thick trunks as a It is used for building houses and the thinner trunks are used for fences.

The branches and other branches are used to make fire and make rice.

Zhao Lie and Yu Dabao were doing it so passionately that they were sweating profusely.

Zhao Da and several guards took care of Zhao Lie meticulously.

With the participation of the military commander.

The soldiers were shouting slogans and singing songs while working very enthusiastically.

More than a hundred Anui people were divided into several groups.

Most were sent to fish to provide meat for the army, and some were used as guides to cut trees nearby.

For a newly built city, the consumption of wood was huge. .

The seaside here is full of small and medium-sized trees, and in the future, large logs will be the basis for shipbuilding here.

At present, most of the wood consumed by Shidao Shipyard is purchased from outside, and this area has not been developed.

Large virgin forests can be found everywhere, but they need to be cut down manually.

Yanayahi led several small boats to go fishing outside the harbor.

Accompanying them were the only four Cangshan boats in the fleet.

They were brought to Fangmao Port for fishing.

According to Shidao’s experience, here The supply of meat will also be dominated by fish.

Kanadong and Kawei will hunt sika deer, birds and even a black bear when they arrive at Fangmao Port in three days.

Fangmao Port has become a large construction site.

The wharf trestle has begun to be expanded.

The ten fort positions have begun to clear wood and clear grass to open roads.

The military camp has begun to build fences and towers.

Refugee camps are also being constructed in full swing.

Canadon and Kawei looked at everything in front of them with complicated emotions.

Their territory was occupied by others.

Of course they felt extremely uncomfortable and even resentful, but they knew that either Akito or Kazuto would capture the entire island sooner or later, Akito was just ahead of schedule.

Moreover, these Akito are so powerful that even Kawi no longer thinks of resisting.

If they were to fight against such a powerful enemy, wouldn't it be something only a fool would do. at this time.

Carnaton could only hope that Akito kept his word.

Most of the prey brought by Canadon and Kawei were sika deer.

They were larger in size, easier to hunt, and had more meat.

They were immediately warmly welcomed by the Polu army and offered to be purchased by Xiaopan.

Canadon did not agree.

In exchange for rice, cloth, salt and other groceries.

"Sir, can we exchange for axes, catalpas and other iron tools next time?"

Canadon asked Gu Wuyue.

Most of their iron tools were purchased from Kazuto.

Here they found that Akito's iron tools were sharper than Kazuto's.

At the same time, they exchanged prey for half the price of Kazuto's iron tools.

They made a lot of money.

Carnaton even planned to exchange iron tools here and sell them to other tribes for profit, which would definitely be a huge profit.

"Yes, but if we exchange in large quantities, we hope it will be larger logs."

Gu Wuyue certainly understands their thoughts, but he does not object, as long as it is logs, after all, the demand for logs is unlimited at the moment.

"Of course there is no problem, but sir, I wonder if you can sell some horses to us.

The logs are too heavy and there are no horses..."

Canadon asked.

There are not many horses in Ezo land.

Only the tribes in the northwest have them.

Other tribes only have a few.

The eastern Kanana tribe is also in urgent need of horses.

"Okay, let's exchange for logs."

Gu Wuyue agreed to the barter very simply.

As for whether the possession of horses by the Kanadong tribe was a threat to the Polu army, Gu Wuyue automatically omitted it.

When the brigade arrives next year, so will the war horses.

The fighting power of the Mongolian horses is really not something that the Jeju horses in front of me can compete with.

Of course, the Jeju horses and the Ezo horses can compete with each other.

After seeing the Ezo horses of the eastern Kanana tribe, Gu Wuyue came to a conclusion.

It can be said that Canadon and his son left here with mixed feelings.

They were worried that Akito would enter faster, and they were happy that Akito agreed to several conditions that were beneficial to the tribe.

This is much better than Kazuto.

It is much better to exchange logs for this than to exchange for people.

In the past, when people traded iron weapons with them, they had to trade furs, mountain products, and falcons, so that all the available iron weapons in their hands were used for weapons.

There was no way, such expensive iron weapons could only be used on warriors, even if this was Not all warriors can use iron weapons.

Some tribesmen use bone bows and arrows.

As for axes, iron catalpas and other tools, they really can't afford them.

This time, Canadon planned to replace all the tools with Akito iron tools, or he could directly exchange them with Akito.

As for exchanging with other tribes, it is even more feasible.

After all, as long as the iron wares sold by Kantonfa are lower than the Kazuto iron wares, there will be no need for tribal exchange.

Yanayahi had a good fishing harvest today, but he encountered a large school of herring more than ten nautical miles offshore.

A boat full of herring, squid, salmon and other marine fish was returned to the dock and sold to the Polu Army.

The Polu army gave him two small silver coins.

It is said that the two parties have just gotten acquainted and have no credibility with the Lu army.

Yanayaxi has countless thoughts, but when Yin Xiaopan gets it.

Yanayaxi was still overjoyed.

In the past, it had to be exchanged for three to five fox skins or three to five wolf skins from others, but today it was just a small boat of sea fish.

As for seafood, they used to be traded with people.

Since fresh fish could not be transported away, they could only be exchanged for dried fish.

A small boat of dried fish was worth two silver coins.

This is not three to four times the price of Kazuto, Akito is really fair.

Of course, these silver coins were divided among the four people on the boat, but even if they were divided among four people, it was still a considerable amount of income.

Return to the fishing village.

When I got home, I saw my six-year-old son and four-year-old daughter eating something sweet in the courtyard.

When I saw Yanayahi entering the courtyard, she ran towards him with a vague mouth.

After hearing the news, my wife came out of the mud house.

He walked out and helped him take the harpoon with a smile.

"Naxi, what do they eat?"

Yanayaxi asked while holding her daughter.

"Today, Mingren distributed candies and salt to every house in the village.

Wei Anman and Taxi love to eat them," said his wife Naxi.

Yanayaxi frowned, and Naxi saw something, "If you are unhappy, I will send the candy and salt back."

Yanayaxi shook his head.

Since it was given to the whole village, there was no reason not to accept it.

But whether Akito is as vicious and cunning as Kazuto remains to be seen in the future.

Zhao Lie stayed here, and the fleet returned ten days ago.

After all, before winter came, the fleet had to come again to prepare enough food, send refugees, and build materials and ironware.

Then there will be a freeze period of more than four months, and time is still as tight as ever.

Fang Shun, Lao Yutou, Fang Shun's son Fang Yuanshan, Fang Gaoshan, Lao Yutou's son Yu Zhe, and more than a hundred men were cutting trees in a forest more than two miles away from the dock.

Most of the trees here are pine and poplar.

This area has not been developed for a long time.

The Anui people only use the trees near the road for heating and building houses.

In this forest away from the road, there are mostly big trees that are hundreds of years old.

It is really gloomy.

Cangcang has been spreading into the distance.

After Fang Shun and others arrived in Jeju, after several months of recuperation, they first participated in the construction of the Jeju Port fort.

After the construction of the fort was completed, they arrived here with the fleet after only more than ten days of recuperation.

Fang Shun's wife stayed in Jeju with their thirteen-year-old son and ten-year-old daughter.

Yu Tou's wife and his youngest son Yu Tong also stayed in Jeju.

This was the case for thousands of Liaodong military households.

Their families They will move here next year after it begins to take shape.

Fang Shun wiped his sweat, looked at the busy men around him, exhaled, and then picked up the ax to chop down the one-meter-thick pine tree in front of him.

It must be said that this work is still very difficult.

Every day, I have to use the ax thousands of times to cut down trees, and I have to remove the branches from the felled trees and transport them down.

At the end of the day, my arms are swollen, my hands are bruised, and my legs are cramped from fatigue.

No matter how hard it is, you have to endure it.

Jiannu defeated Tieshan, and Fang Shun was lucky.

If adults hadn't led the troops to escort the military households in Tieshan to evacuate, his family would have been dead long ago.

Although the work here is very hard, we are alive after all, and we have three full meals a day, meat every day, and one tael of silver every month.

Your Excellency also said that when the fields are opened next year, each household will be allocated fifty acres of land. , tax-free for three years, and after three years it will only be taxed at one out of ten.

You have to support yourself for the sake of the land.

This is a land owned by an individual and can be passed on to future generations.

Thinking of this, Fang Shun looked at the land here.

It was all black and good soil, but most of it was covered with trees and weeds.

He had to dig it out manually.

This was a tedious and tiring job.

Fang Shun is not afraid of work, but is afraid of no hope.

Since hope is ahead, Fang Shun is full of energy.

As for Jing Haidun's life, it seemed that he was very far away.

Thousands of Liao people who arrived on Beihua Island had the same idea.

They started working with all their strength, hoping to open up acres of land as soon as possible and get their own land as soon as possible.

To be continued.
