Chapter 336: Long Island

The Oriental Military Government's efficient and professional handling of Asian affairs is the most intuitive feeling of Yang Zhaolong of Makino Prefecture.

When Yang Zhaolong arrived at Muye County, which was planned by the Oriental Military Government, the aborigines living here, with more than 400 followers including the Nanyang Banner Army, Miao warriors, Du Zhangman, and Maori people, who had crossed the ocean with him, arrived at Muye County, which was planned by the Oriental Military Government.

Heiyunlong said: This is our credit, uncle, don't forget to make a note for us when you turn around.

But Yang Zhaolong was not happy.

"I told my brother-in-law a long time ago that how can I decide on the major matter of demarcating a county without seeing it with my own eyes? There are so many places suitable for county governance along the way, and my brother-in-law has to be drawn here, which is too easy to beat. ”

In addition to pleasure and travel, yes, although he does the work of an explorer, he is not called exploration, at most it is tourism.

In addition to pleasure and travel, he thinks that he has no skills to show his hands, but these two points are very useful for the current Makino County Governance.

From the perspective of hydrology and topography, it was easy for the first governor of Makino Prefecture to judge that the area of the prefecture seat demarcated by the Toyo Military Government could easily be attacked by enemies from overseas.

"Beaten? Hahaha! ”

Sitting in Maza, oh no, it was the black cloud dragon who was sitting on the chair and raised his head and laughed, raised the horsewhip in his hand and pointed into the distance, and said to Yang Zhaolong: "Uncle doesn't know, in the northwest, the French call it New France, and they have occupied the mouth of the river for more than 50 years; On the large island across the sea to the east, there is also the Euroi that called it New AngoulΓͺme for decades. ”

"But I'm the only one who beats others, so why do others beat me?" Heiyunlong said and waved his hand, and said, "The battle of New France is decided, and the fifty years of teaching him will be ruined; The new Angoolem was burned clean by Li Yuxi, and what is the use of painstaking management? ”

In the past, Heiyunlong has always looked down on businessmen, but Li Yuxi really impressed him, he looked very literate, and found Yiren Town on the big island with a smile on his face, just because he was ridiculed and angered, he entangled his disciples to attack the city that night, killing people and setting fire to him.

Not to mention that the walled city was burned, and even the French warships parked in the harbor were sent to dig through the planks and sank.

It was only at this time that Hei Yunlong suddenly thought that Li Yuxi was a Quanzhou merchant, a Fujian merchant, and a sea merchant who had become famous as early as before the imperial court opened the sea...... But the imperial court didn't open the sea, how did this sea merchant become famous?

They are different from the good babies who are willing to go to the sea after the sea is opened.

"He is a businessman, why do you want to attack the city? And it was pulled out. ”

Yang Zhaolong blinked, is this a serious businessman? How does it sound that the combat effectiveness is more powerful than that of the Beiyang Army.

"He said the local people were too simple."

Heiyunlong pursed his lips and said helplessly: "I didn't think clearly what he meant at first, but after realizing it, simplicity is good to be obedient, and unpleasant words are stupid, easy to trust others, and easy to be deceived." ”

"There is also a cavalry general named Hulan in the north, and he will also be seen in Zhixian County, from Jincheng to Quebec, Hulan is to send horses to tribes one by one, teach people to raise horses and build roads; Li Yuxi traveled from Quebec to Florida, and wherever grain and cotton were not grown, he taught people to grow tobacco. ”

"I also have good dealings with all the tribes, saying that this tobacco can only be sold to him in the coming year, he uses tools, clothes, pen, ink, paper and inkstone in exchange, the merchants of the dynasty have already demarcated the territory of the sale, Wei Gang to the south is Shi Xiaolou's, Wei Gang to the north is Li Yuxi's, he wants to be the biggest tobacco merchant."

Hei Yunlong explained to Yang Zhaolong: "In the final analysis, he was afraid that the French Yi people would buy his goods in front of him, and in the vast sea, it would not work to chase and intercept him, so he simply uprooted the Yi people and taught them to come here in the future!" ”

As he spoke, Heiyunlong waved his hand and said: "But this is also useful for dealing with the early Yi people, their gang is different from us, that is, they are not serious businessmen, nor are they military, they are just idle people, in the future, when the news spreads, Euroyi will either not come, or if they come, it will be a big battle." ”

These news made Yang Zhaolong irritable.

Yang Zhaolong looked around, they sat on a small hillside, very close to the shoreline, but they could not see the sea because of the trees on the edge of the beach, but they could see the narrow island farther away.

At the edge of the eye, the sunset and the aboriginal tribes lit the smoke of the cooking in one place, and the war drums and suona of the military music and the general's orders were heard from the bottom of the mountain, and the cavalry stationed here paced and practiced to the beat of the drums.

He could see beside the cavalry, as well as aboriginal warriors wearing hand-woven blankets, forming a phalanx, training together with stone spears.

"It's not easy for a cavalry hundred households to lead four armor-headed phalanxes." Hei Yunlong followed Yang Zhaolong's gaze to look at the camp that had been put into the queue training after dinner, and his face also showed a slightly tired look, and said: "The marshal has ordered the east coast to set up a county since Chang Sheng, and Hei Mou will reorganize the people here, and according to the system of the nine sides, the various departments will be organized into Lijia. ”

"There are more than 8,000 people in the Algonquin tribes who were born here, and they are called societies; However, none of his troops were good at fighting, so they recruited 12,000 strong and brave Hulun prisoners from the northwest Changwu and the southern Che tribes, scattered the various tribes called Tun, and gathered here for coastal defense and the establishment of county administration. ”

"Since the big marshal ordered Hei to stay on the east coast, Uncle doesn't have to worry about guarding, my department has more than 1,000 elite horsemen, listen to this general's order, those who like to worship in Europe will come again, and the next week after landing, they will be asked to burn their heads seven."

The Black Cloud Dragon's fighting spirit is very strong.

But Yang Zhaolong is not worried about the war and the population, on the contrary, he also hopes that there will be fewer people here.

Because he can't afford it.

He pursed his lips and asked, "20,000 people, what do they eat and where do they live?" ”

"Don't worry, the lieutenant chiefs have been elected for the forty-eight miles, and they are scattered around the designated settlements, and they will find their own food. In each of the two months, six lieutenants led their troops to the county for training in March, and the rest of the lieutenants who did not practice were to deliver meals to the county to feed them and the cavalry. ”

"But we don't have birds, we don't have armor, the local people don't know how to make iron, and now they are still practicing with stone spears, and they are too far away from Jincheng and Changsheng, and they need weapons this year and they can only be delivered next year."

Black Cloud Dragon's worries made Yang Zhaolong's heart overjoyed, and he hurriedly said, "There is an iron mine here?" Don't have weapons? It's so easy to do! ”

As soon as the rider on the chair nodded, he heard the county Xi say: "Nothing else, General Hei, you don't know what Yang is doing in Xinmingzhou, looking for mines, there is no one in the world who understands these things better than me!" ”

"Tomorrow we will go to see the mine, my relatives know how to prospect, some know how to burn iron, some know how to forge steel, the armor will be difficult for a while, but the weapon is very good. Makino's goal is to have a port next year, this time next year, and we can build some lucky ships; Open an iron factory, everyone uses iron spearheads, and I can't build birds, but crossbows are very good, and they all have to be trained. ”
