Chapter 579: Becoming an Army

Zhen Qian quickly denied the possibility of large-scale development of Keelung Port in a short period of time, and the entire island of Taiwan was originally part of his backup plan for overseas development, and judging from the current strength in Zhen Shi's hands, it would be considered a success if he could start a small number of immigrants to Keelung Port in a year.

Before landing in Keelung Port, it is necessary to establish a transit station between the mainland and Keelung Port, and reserve a large amount of materials and manpower, while taking into account the climate and environment and the attitude of the indigenous people, which cannot be prepared in a short time. However, after Zhen Thirty-one leased Keelung Port, if he left it alone, even if it was only in the past year, the changes that occurred in the middle were not ...... that Zhen Qian could predict.

Zhen Thirty-one threw this problem to Zhen Qian!

From the Wufeng Islands to Keelung Harbor, there are many islands all the way south, and the danger can be minimized, and the round-trip time will not exceed three months, and if there is a new sailing ship, the time will be cut in half.

Although Zhen Qian expressed his anger and dissatisfaction with Zhen 31's act of advocating the exploration of the island of Taiwan, he had to consider head-on the series of effects caused by this incident.

For the exploration and pioneering spirit of his subordinates, Zhen Qian maintains a tolerant and encouraging attitude, of course, there are some restrictions, such as not provoking some powerful forces and countries, this is a low-profile exploration and development, especially in the current environment, for example, if Zhen 31 is unfortunately caught in the indigenous war on the island of Taiwan, Zhen Qian is simply unable to rescue and help Zhen 31.

Compared with Zhen Seventy-two, Zhen Thirty-one is famous for his boldness, when he and Zhen Jiu first arrived in the Bohai Sea to develop, they set their eyes on Qinhuangdao next to Yingzhou at a glance, and during the Tang Dynasty, Qinhuangdao was still an island, not connected to the mainland, so he took a few small fishing boats to the island, and established the first maritime stronghold there.

And Zhen Seventy-two has a stable personality and has followed Zhen Jiu for more than a year, and he has not made any out-of-the-ordinary moves.

This is also the reason why Zhen Qian chose Zhen Seventy-two to go to the Americas, instead of Zhen Thirty-one to go to the Americas, in Zhen Qian's view, the Americas are more dangerous, the purpose of this trip to the Americas is not to plunder, nor to communicate, but for those high-yield crops for future generations, only by bringing these crops back to the Tang Dynasty, Zhen Qian has the confidence to gather a large number of refugees to take refuge in the sea after the outbreak of war in a short period of time.

"Think about the matter of Keelung Port?"

Zhen Qian spat out a few words, stood up and walked out of the cabin, and at this time the ship had already landed on the trestle. There were many people standing on the trestle, and when they saw Zhen Qian appearing on the bow of the boat, there was a trace of heat and excitement in their eyes.

Zhen Qian waved his hand towards the crowd on the trestle, but his eyes fell on a person, who was not standing in front of him, but with a trace of shyness and shyness on his face, but the moment his eyes made eye contact with Zhen Qian, a smile appeared on his face, this person was Zhen San, who rarely interacted with people.

Zhen San is a mysterious existence in the wolf's den, which is not to say that other people do not know about the existence of this person, but this person rarely communicates with people, and most of the time he hides in the craftsman camp and rarely shows up, and over time, there are more and more rumors about Zhen San.

Standing at the front of the crowd is Ke Ming, now Ke Ming can no longer see the original malaise and decadence, as early as three months ago, under Zhen Qian's bewitchment and inducement, he reluctantly established a family with two women, and found out that the two women were pregnant last month, which made Ke Ming suddenly seem to regain his vitality, and the whole person seemed to have a goal to strive for.

"Mr. Ke's spirit is much younger, is it a new ...... of progress in the new style of sailing," Zhen Qian quipped.

Zhen Qian has always been concerned about the research and development of new sailing ships, but it is a pity that the cross-era sea ships can be finalized in a short period of time, under the study of Ke Ming and many craftsmen day and night, two experimental ships of 300 stones have been built, and many problems have been found, some of which were not considered at the beginning, and some of them cannot be solved in a short period of time.

Ke Ming's face stiffened, he naturally knew the meaning of Zhen Qian's words, his old face flushed, thinking that he was almost fifty years old and would have a son in spring, his heart fluttered, "Zhen Lang don't want to make fun of it, the new sailboat is easy to build, just the streamlined hull doesn't know how many processes need to be added, and the flexibility of the steel nails used for connection is not enough, as for the strength and connection of the mast, it is even more difficult, so I need San Lang to help?" ”

Zhen Qian knew that what Ke Ming said was right, but this time when he saw Ke Ming was not discussing this, he chuckled: "There are difficulties to show the skills of you and the craftsman, but I have smashed a lot of gold and silver on the shipyard, don't you let me down?" ”

While laughing, everyone on the boat stepped off the boat, Zhen Qian greeted the people on the trestle one by one, and when he arrived in front of Zhen San, he didn't speak, only patted Zhen San on the shoulder, and walked towards the depths of the island.

The area of the island is not large, only the area of the ordinary academy in later generations is about the same, it is difficult to see tall trees on the island, most of the sight is low shrubs and weeds, no one deliberately decorates, the whole island is shaped like a huge dustpan, I don't know how many thousands of years ago erupted after the formation of this unique landform.

In the deepest part of the island, there are rows of bungalows that have just been built, a straight cement road leads from the wharf to the barracks, and on both sides of the road stands a row of soldiers who stretch to the barracks, each soldier has a look of excitement on his face, his posture is tall and powerful, his eyes are firm, and whenever Zhen Qian is about to walk in front of him, a loud shout will come from the mouth of a soldier at the head: "Salute!" This loud shout was sonorous and powerful, which shocked people's hearts, and even the eyes of the people who followed behind Zhen Qian were full of awe.

Zhen Qian's eyes were level, and he put his right hand on his chest and patted it lightly, with a satisfied smile on his face.

At this moment, everyone has an indescribable excitement, all this happened under everyone's noses, only in less than three months, a heart involuntarily swayed, listening to the neat and powerful military salute in the ears, and the face showed a sense of excitement from the heart.

Zhen Qian didn't say a lot of things, and there was no hint of anything, but everyone was quietly thinking in their hearts, and that kind of uncertain thought would never linger in their minds. Maybe Zhen Qian said that he wanted to build an army, and many people would be afraid, after all, no one was willing to risk killing his head. However, step by step, watching the development of the Wufeng Islands to this day, many people know that the establishment of the army is only a matter of time......
