Chapter 32: The Overseer
Spring has not yet arrived, but in this magical land, Chen Mu can choose to walk to the spring side by himself.
If he wanted to, he could still go to the summer.
The Five Overseers are actually five strongholds on the west coast of Asia from north to south, or five small ports with cannon temples and garrisons.
"Ma Jin, the chief military officer of the Later Governor's Office, has jurisdiction over the Heishui Jin Islands to Majiagang, and is responsible for educating the Anian people, cutting down good materials for shipbuilding, hunting furs for meat, cultivating fields to supply the northern hundred households, and receiving follow-up baggage and banner troops."
"At present, there are only 1,200 flag soldiers and military craftsmen in the Majiagang Governor's Office, and Chen will not increase his troops for the time being, but you are allowed to train reservists, recruit lumberjacks, winter hunters and farmers among the Anian people, and allow the Majiagang Flag Army to intermarry with the Anian people."
The simple Yamen of Majiagang, Chen Mu looked at the vast Yanian Department in the northwest region of Majiagang on the map, his eyes stayed between Ma Jin and Zhao Yongxian, and said: "Zhao Rushi, in the future, you will be the commander of Yacheng County, where the city falls, how to build it, and where the people come from, it depends on your ability at the beginning of spring this year." ”
Ma Jin is okay, he has been in Majiagang for many years, his official position has reached the extreme after the posthumous seal, there is nothing to ask for, the only appeal is to hope that when the baggage ship goes back, he will hand back his song to the emperor, hoping to bring his family to this side.
He asked, "Chen Shuai, how many people are in the banner army of the Majiagang Governor's Mansion?" ”
"Ten islands and 1,000 households and Majiagang 1,000 households, the establishment of two thousand households has 500 military craftsmen, and now there is still a small half, this year the second phase of the Beiyang flag army is coming for you to get together, and in the future, depending on the grain stockpile, strive to train another 5,600 reserve army."
Ma Jin nodded and sat down with his fists clenched, he had no problem.
He is not afraid of a small number of soldiers, even if the Oriental Military Government comes over, Majiagang is only positioned as a large grain hoarding camp and a port of refuge after the great change in the situation, and there is no chance of combat.
He was afraid that as soon as Chen Mu opened his mouth, he would recruit and make up for the seven or eight thousand banner army, the cultivation time here is too short, although a large area of land is cultivated, but where is it so easy to open up wasteland and farm, coupled with the climate, the grain production is very low, and there is no meal for hunting, so it can't feed too many people.
However, in the future, the trade of this route will be ripe, and the special production capacity such as furs, walrus ivory, bison horns, and oil produced by them will be traded with the Central Plains, and it will not be too late to talk about training new soldiers.
Zhao Yongxian was blindfolded, at this time he was not looking for death and life, and said to Chen Mu: "Chen Shuai, this place, it is not difficult to build a city, a small city with a length of 800 steps is enough for six months, but there is something unclear below...... There is no need to set up a city in Majiagang. ”
He said that six months is not a big city, Majiagang already has a few ready-made wooden villages, half a year to lay down the edge of the wooden fence rammed earth is enough, but to repair the brick wall, no matter what, it will have to wait until the summer of the next year.
"It is necessary, this city will be used for the collection and distribution of merchants, and it is also the governing place of a hundred miles around it, surrounded by forest farms, hunting grounds, oil wells, fishing grounds and fields, guarding the bay and dangerous points, and setting up a hundred households in the front and back of the island in the southwest estuary, and setting up three hundred households on the left, middle and right sides of the city."
"In terms of handicrafts, in the future, there will be shipyards, brick and tile factories, kerosene factories and military uniform factories, and the processing and manufacturing of wood, oil, bison hides and cotton transported by the fleet, and this will become the premier trading port in western Asia."
It's not second to none, the western part of Asia is so big, and other places are either unsuitable for human survival or inaccessible, and this is the only place that is suitable, and it is likely that there will be only one trading port in the future.
"The Left Governor's Military Mansion is located in the south of Zhuangyuan Bridge, the chief military officer Ma Gui, I will fill you with a thousand households of the flag army, thousands of households, a hundred households by you from the old department to choose from, to be determined after the list of the Oriental Military Government station, your county official is Wu Zidao."
Wu Zidao is Wu Zhongxing, with the example of Zhao Yongxian, Wu Zhongxing heard Chen Mu's words and immediately got up and saluted with a big jacket and cotton sleeves: "Chen Shuai rest assured, he will do a good job in building the city and educating him, fully cooperate with Ma Shuai, and the chief official will benefit one party." ”
The Zhuangyuan Bridge is warm, where is it like Majiagang, so cold that the Mongolians have long hair.
Ma Gui is an old man in Asia, and he has a group of the best exploration and survival experts in the Ming Dynasty, and he is confident in his fists, and said: "Chen Shuai, I have a strategy below, first explore the surrounding land, plan forest farms, farms, pastures, and fishing grounds, choose places that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and set up residences in places that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and convenient transportation. ”
"After a while, I also asked the military government to allocate more dogs and horses, that is, send 500 households to the east to explore, incorporate the local people's education, teach the language, farming methods, and have the Zhengtu Department of the Zhuangyuan Bridge as the forerunner, and get twice the result with half the effort."
Chen Mu nodded with satisfaction and said, "I will assign the guerrilla general Lin Xiao and his three hundred bird-to-gun men to your department, and when the Beiyang Phase II Banner Army comes, I will bring a group of mountain master miners to your jurisdiction to help prospecting." ”
Saying that, Chen Mu hugged his arms, he thought for a while and said, "Originally, Chen wanted to name the place you were Jincheng, but Ma Shuai has a talent for fame, so Chen will not go beyond the bounds." ”
"Golden City?" Ma Gui asked puzzledly, "Why is it called Jincheng County?" ”
Chen Mu pursed his lips after thinking about it, but finally didn't come up with any suitable reason, and said: "Take a good lottery, I hope there is hardware." ”
Saying that, he clapped his hands and said: "The Right Overseer's Mansion is on the Boundary Peninsula, let Fu Yuan and Du Tong be there in the future, I heard that he won a batch of Western sheep with excellent wool, originally that place was a place to patrol the sea, just let him farm, mine, graze, and patrol the sea on the peninsula." ”
"The county magistrate over there will be Ai Hefu, don't build your city on the peninsula, but next to the boundary monument, and call it Jiexian."
"The Oriental Military Government and the Central Governor's Military Office are located in Panama, this name will not be used in the future, the place that belongs to Spain in the north is called Panama, and the place that belongs to the Ming Dynasty in the south is called Youzhili, with 3,000 households, Shiqi, Lin Manjue and Juniper led a certain soldier of Chen, the county official Zou Yuanbiao, Your Majesty's right capital is up to you...... Forget it, let's go over and see if the Spaniards have a ready-made city, and directly occupy the trouble. ”
"Handsome and wise!"
Zou Yuanbiao proudly raised his eyebrows at his colleagues, full of ambition: "Students will be able to educate the people!" ”
"How have you read the books you've been reading these past few months? You don't have to educate the people, just compile these things into a book. ”
Chen Mu didn't pay attention to Zou Yuanbiao's resentment at all, and before he could react, he assigned to the next person, and said: "Finally, there is the former Overseer's Mansion, on the desert coast of the west coast of South Asia, Shao Tingda, who is still on the Boundary Peninsula, is the chief military officer, and Shen Chun's father goes with him. ”
"The five Overseers' Mansions will each replenish 2,000 troops this year, and they will all be replenished as a guard next year, and you will be the pioneers of the Ming Empire in Asia."
