Zhao Lie's fleet passed by the southern end of Tsushima Island and encountered several Tsushima sentinel ships on the way.
As soon as they saw the fleet of the Polu army, they immediately dispersed like birds and beasts.
The oarsmen of the small early boats rowed with all their strength.
He was moving very fast, trying his best to stay away from these killing gods.
The same goes for the sentinels of the shogunate navy encountered near Iki Island.
Nowadays, the Japanese fleet is shocking Japan.
If you encounter them at sea, you can just run away.
Escape as far as you can.
The fleet arrived at Fangmao Port in calm weather.
The voyage was very peaceful and leisurely.
God also provided a favorable arrangement and the crosswind continued, allowing the fleet to arrive in Beihua in less than twenty days.
Fangmao Port started to be busy again.
Eighteen thousand refugees, one thousand horses, tens of thousands of stones of grains, various groceries, and soldiers, armor, and gunpowder were disembarked one after another.
People entered the refugee camp, and the goods were put into warehouses.
Five or six It took days to complete the arrangements, but of course dozens of people and dozens of horses were lost on the road, which was an inevitable price.
During this trip, Bai Shidi led more than ten officials from Jeju Island to also arrive on the ship to support the development of Beihua.
With the full expansion of Beihua's affairs, manpower became increasingly scarce, and Zhao Lie now recruited all personnel to rush for help.
When Zhao Lie arrived at Fangmao Port, only Gu Wuyue came to greet him.
Wanji had already gone deep into the plains with the brigade.
Zhao Lie stayed at Fangmao Port for two days and inspected the refugee camps, forts, racecourses, etc.
One by one, the result was that To his satisfaction, Shidao style was reflected in every aspect, with planning and step-by-step progress.
The fort turned Fangmao Port into a strong fortress, wide roads connected various places for easy movement, and the refugee camp was well organized.
Showing a strong Wu style, the five hundred generals left behind in the military camp were also waiting for help.
Always be prepared for the unexpected.
Zhao Lie gave Gu Wuyue a thumbs up to show his approval.
It was indeed not easy.
Tens of thousands of people endured the cold winter in a place with no foundation and persisted in working.
Gu Wuyue and others must have worked hard.
Gu Wuyue asked a question.
There are only more than 3,000 soldiers.
As they entered the plains, more and more places were opened up, and the troops were stretched thin, so it was inevitable to distribute weapons to the Liao people.
But so far, only swords, guns, crossbows and hundreds of pieces of leather and cotton armor from the Polu army's inventory have been distributed.
However, there are too few people who can use crossbows, and it will take several years to be able to use longbows proficiently. , such a long-range attack firepower is seriously insufficient.
"This time, I will bring 3,000 firecrackers that were eliminated from the fleet and those that were later made by the Jianghu camp.
All of them will be distributed to the people of Liao as long-range weapons."
This was what Zhao Lie had already planned.
The vast Beihua Plain cannot be fully defended even if tens of thousands of soldiers are deployed.
All the people can do so is the army.
This also lays a foundation for the future national reserve military service system.
As an overseas enclave, close to a tiger and wolf country like Japan, all the people must be soldiers and the people must be martial and good at fighting to live a solid life.
"Sir, are there any hidden dangers in distributing firearms under armor this time?"
Gu Wuyue asked worriedly.
"There will definitely be many hidden dangers, but it depends on how the politicians deal with them."
Zhao Lie replied.
Zhao Lie wanted to plant this bomb among the people.

If the politicians are unkind, of course the people will rise up, and even the lower-level officials will do evil, deceive the superiors and conceal the inferiors, and be careful of being blackmailed.
Of course, they may also be exploited by bold and scheming people, but nothing is absolutely right, just hope that the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. .
"If the country is peaceful and the people are safe, these soldiers will not cause any serious trouble, but can resist foreign enemies.
If the ruler is tyrannical and unkind, then these soldiers will overthrow him."
Gu Wuyue looked at Zhao Lie in a daze, as if this is your territory from now on, leaving hidden dangers and foreshadowing for himself.
Zhao Lie looked at Gu Wuyue's expression, and of course he understood what he was thinking, "This is a precious sword that has left a legacy of governance among the people.
It always reminds future generations that unkind governance cannot be attacked in groups, making those who are in power frightened and cautious every step of the way." , I don’t dare to act recklessly like the noble officials of the Ming Dynasty today.”
Gu Wuyue was shocked when he heard this.
For thousands of years, no emperor in China has ever been willing to put shackles on himself.
Your Excellency should be the first.
Two days later, Zhao Lie led Bai Shidi and others, surrounded by more than a hundred guards, to the plain to open up an area.
Zhao Lie named it the North China Plain.
Wanji welcomed Zhao Lie into the camp outside the camp of the pioneering group on the edge of the Liao River.
In order to commemorate their hometown, the Liao people named this river that meanders from the central mountainous area through the North China Plain and into the sea Liao River, which is also known as Ishikari in later generations.
Sichuan, of course, this name is now gone forever.
Zhao Lie saw that Wanji's face was a little pale, and he knew that with so many things going on, Wanji must have been busy day and night and lacked enough rest and sleep.
"Wan Ji, we are constantly busy with things.
The necessary rest is for longer-term governance."
Zhao Lie reminded Wan Ji.
"Thank you for your concern, sir," Wanji saluted gratefully, "Sir, although things were originally messy, the situation was quite comforting.
However, in the past half month, dozens of tribes that moved to the north have joined forces with the two largest tribes in the north.
The Liao people who continued to attack me from all over the north were repelled by our counterattacks, but the progress of land reclamation was greatly slowed down.
When the main force of our army went, these rogues immediately avoided the battle and were extremely cunning. " Wanji gritted his teeth and hated it so much.
Today, more than a hundred Liao civilians have died in the battle, and more than 20 people are missing.
The Liao civilian development team, which is divided into more than 20 thousand-man teams, is panicked and the progress has been greatly reduced.
"How much farmland has been developed here so far?"
Zhao Lie asked.
"Sir, we have roughly reclaimed nearly 200,000 acres of land in the southwest of the plain and planted sweet potatoes.
However, it is all raw land.
Although most of the land is composted and deeply plowed to remove grass, the harvest is expected to be limited.
"Wanji replied.
Zhao Lie nodded.
According to estimates, nearly 100,000 people will be transported from Shidao to Beihua this year, 500,000 acres of land will be reclaimed, and 50,000 people will be resettled.
The current progress is acceptable.
The investment of nearly 20,000 Liao residents this time and the entry of the next three batches of personnel will greatly speed up the process.
Next year, more than one million acres of farmland will be opened up and 100,000 people will be resettled.
The next year, more than 200,000 Liao residents will be hired.
They will live and work peacefully on Beihua Island and gradually turn this place into a part of China.
Of course, the premise is to first deal with the Anui people who are constantly resisting today.
After a day of deliberations by Zhao Lie, Wan Ji, Bai Shidi and others.
Finally, I settled on these few items: Slow down the pace of development.
When each development point goes out to open up, there should be villagers wearing armor and on guard.
A thousand Jeju horses were selected to form fast mounted infantry to enhance the mobility of the troops and support various places at any time.
Defend the camp near the north well and build walls and towers.
Dig a moat to strengthen its protection.

Call Commander Qian from Shidao's cavalry.
Assault on the enemy's territory, burn the flames of war into the enemy's hinterland, relieve the pressure on your own side, and it is best to fight the enemy decisively and annihilate them.
Due to delays caused by the resistance of the Anui people, this year's development task was reduced to 400,000 acres, and the number of personnel transported remained unchanged at 80,000 to 100,000.
The next day, Wanji and Bai Shidi led the people to fully deploy the things discussed.
Zhao Lie led the guards to explore the development points around the camp.
Wanji did not stop them.
The development points in the south were still very safe.
Fang Shun was weeding the fields together with Fang Yuanshan, Fang Gaoshan, Lao Yutou, and Lao Yutou's son Yu Zhe.
The two families' 100-acre fields were adjacent.
The two families farmed together, which was very necessary in this place where the barbarians often visited.
Fang Shun, Fang Gaoshan, and Lao Yutou were busy weeding in Lao Yutou's field.
In the newly reclaimed land, weeds regenerated very quickly.
This month, the two families were constantly weeding in this field.
The work was simple and boring, but.
Everyone is still very motivated.
This year, the first person to allocate acres of land to them was only given ten taels of silver and ten shi of miscellaneous grains.
The rest of the income depended on the output of the fields.
Of course, they went all out.
Fang Yuanshan and Yu Zhe were wearing leather armor and cotton armor, holding long spears in their hands, and patrolling around.
Fang Shun and others also placed Fang Shun's Yanling Dao and Fang Gaoshan's spear on the ground, and Lao Yutou's Yishi bow and arrow.
It is really a fighting team and also a production team.
Fang Shun and others had been busy for an hour and were really tired.
Mainly because of the soreness of their lower backs.
The most painful part of farm work was the lower backs.
"Fang Tou, I can't do it anymore, sit down and have a rest."
Lao Yu Tou put down his hoe panting and fell to the ground.
He had few Ding Kou, and Fang Tou's family had a lot of helpers.
Old Yu Tou was very embarrassed, otherwise he would have been there long ago.
Rested.
"Okay, let's all take a rest."
Fang Shun, who was also hot and tired, gritted his teeth and insisted.
Fang Gaoshan drank most of the water in the water bag and felt better.
Fang Shun and Lao Yutou also sat down to drink water and rest.
Fang Shun first looked around, and there was nothing unexpected.
There were fields all around, and sweet potatoes were planted there.
The seedlings were not high, and the surrounding situation was clear at a glance.
Fang Shun also lamented that this area used to be woodland or grassland, and it was so green that you couldn't see very far at a glance.
Now it's all black land and green seedlings, and you can see for miles at a glance.
"Dad, there are no barbarians around here at all.
Wearing armor every day is nothing but trouble."
The skinny Yu Zhe muttered.
Fang Gaoshan also agreed.
"That's nonsense.
When the barbarians come close, what will you do to kill the barbarians?
Use a hoe."

Old Yutou said angrily.
His son was just lazy.
"Old Yu is right, you can't leave your weapons at any time here.
If you leave, you will put your life in the hands of others."
Fang Shun glared at Fang Gaoshan angrily.
When Old Yutou's son Yu Zhe heard what Fang Shun said, he could only bow his head and admit it.
He had always been in awe of Fang Shun, after all, he turned out to be the chief banner master.
"Okay, you go ahead.
I'll go check out the other houses in the settlement."
Fang Shun is now the elected village head of more than a hundred households in the settlement.
It is his responsibility to supervise farming and train the villagers.
Fang Shun picked up his Yan Ling Dao and iron shield from the ground and walked eastward.
There was a field adjacent to the road, but it was a bit low-lying.
Fang Shun wanted to see the ten soldiers who had set up a security guard on the road.
One is checking suspicious people passing by, and the other is always ready to reinforce scattered villagers.
Fang Shun came to the roadside and saw ten boys in their twenties, who were sunburned and withered.
The sword, gun and armor are a little askew.
Fang Shun had just scolded a few words, and dust was flying in the distance.
Large groups of cavalry were approaching from far away, flags fluttering.
The first flag bearer held a red flag, Zhao.
Behind them are the galloping fully armored cavalry, with long weapons or iron shields hung on the sides of the horses.
The men and horses are undulating and running towards them.
Fang Shun and others hurriedly made a military salute.
The adults above had already spoken.
Beihua is a military garrison, so military salutes are accepted here.
The cavalry trotted past Fang Shun and others.
Fang Shun saw that most of them were strong soldiers, and a few of them were tall, sitting on horses like hills.
Fang Shun and others watched the cavalry fly away in a huge cloud of dust, and they warned, "Look, marching in full armor on such a hot day, keeping the formation unchanged, this is an elite soldier.
Look at you idiots who are just ordinary soldiers."
The ground guard's armor is crooked. " Several young students laughed and listened to the lecture
