Chapter 404: All the way north
Huang Sheng sent three of the ten teenagers who accompanied Cao Huachun in Nanjing to stay, and established the Hainan Island Intelligence Bureau, which was subordinate to the Nanzhili Intelligence Department. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Lu Xiuke, Pan Lianggui, and Lin Chaoping, the three musketeers and general flag officers, directly enjoyed the treatment of the hundred generals, and recruited candidates from the Yongzhong in Hainan to recruit as intelligence officers, and enjoyed the treatment of regular soldiers, and developed offline at any cost.
Purpose: To monitor the actions of the Ming civil and military officials in the thirteen counties of Danzhou, Yazhou, and Wanzhou under the jurisdiction of the Qiongzhou Prefecture, record their illegal deeds, and infiltrate or bribe officers and officials to serve the Huang family.
Xiongzhi County due to the extinction of bandits under his rule, the common people settled down and worked, and lived a leisurely life, and it was still a cliché to receive Huang Sheng after drinking, and asked Huang Sheng to use his connections to transfer him to serve in the Liaodong Army after his reinstatement.
When Huang Sheng left Lingao, he left behind 150,000 stone of grain, which was self-sufficient, but it could not be done in the short term due to the influx of a large number of immigrants.
Left 500 families of Han descent from the Lancang Kingdom to settle here, between which there are many singles, leaving more than 1,000 women, and telling Ge Chengjie to treat these people as the people of the Huang family, with the same law and treatment.
Leaving the Lingao fleet and sailing northeast, Lingao arrived less than 300 nautical miles to "Lugong Island" and arrived in two days.
"Lugong Island" has been under construction for more than three months, and there are already seven or eight thousand Huang family people who have immigrated here to work, and the person in charge is Wang Dawan, a skilled craftsman who first followed Huang Sheng.
After five years of working and studying in the Huang family, Wang Dawan is no longer the Wuxia Ameng of the past, he can now write, calculate, draw drawings, and be meticulous in his work.
There are more than so many people working on "Lugong Island", because Wang Dawan also employs thousands of laborers from Xin'an County, Guangzhou Prefecture, to work here, and welcomes them to settle here.
Huang Sheng also cared for Wang Dawan to build a large number of collective dormitories, because a large number of immigrants will come here next spring, and before that, Ge Chengjie, who runs Lingao, will build a large number of houses, and build as many as possible to accommodate 10,000 people temporarily living in a residential area 20 miles apart.
Wang Dawan is down-to-earth, but also because the family was often hungry before following the head of the family, knowing the importance of food, the first thing he did when he came to "Lugong Island" was to build a cylindrical granary, and now seven or eight have been completed, and the granary is still under construction, Huang Sheng asked that more than 200,000 stones of grain can be stored here.
Huang Sheng left him 50,000 stone of grain, telling him not to save too much, to feed the laborers, and to ensure that there are fish to eat every day.
The port in the picture of Wang Dawan is the world's third largest seaport in Hong Kong, Victoria Harbour, where the port is wide and deep, it is an excellent natural harbor, and Huang Sheng named it "Wen Tianxiang Port".
Arranged for Wang Dawan to purchase Lantau Island, the largest island in Hong Kong in later generations, and named this island "Zhang Gong Island" to commemorate Zhang Shijie, one of the three heroes of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Huang Sheng decided to leave the Han and women of Lancang Kingdom to settle down here, and there was a small episode, and after more than ten days of getting along, some soldiers and auxiliaries fell in love with some women.
There was no reaction when Lingao left the young women, because Huang Sheng only said that the number was not specified, and now they were all left, and the warriors were dumbfounded, and they entrusted the black tiger to intercede, please allow them to take these women as concubines.
This is entirely possible, but it must be consensual, and there is another principle that is very important - fairness. All the women who fancy as concubines will have their military merit rewards halved this time, which means that bringing a beauty home will be less than half of the silver reward.
Black Tiger happily told everyone the news, and no one flinched because they were reluctant to get the silver that was about to arrive, and happily accepted this condition.
Therefore, there are more than 700 women with them, but these women are many eye-catching, and everyone has a lustful heart, and the soldiers choose to be concubines are all beautiful women.
The fleet came to Kinmen again, and of course Xu Xinsu received it warmly, and Kinmen was strong and strong under Xu Xinsu's care.
The Huang family's "Kinmen Fort" has also been completed a long time ago, and the "Huaxia Daqian Village" Kinmen branch has long been opened, and the defense here is impregnable. Huang Sheng replenished more than 100 households of immigrants, left more than a dozen officers, and brought back Liu Shifu's musketeer Baizong.
For more than a year, Liu Shifu took a hundred musketeers to train in the "Kinmen Fort", there were not too many 500 villagers, and the regular soldiers trained one hundred musketeers, heavy infantry, bows and axes mixed cavalry, a total of more than 360 people, and supported half of the "Lugong Island" in the spring.
In the future, the person in charge of staying in Kinmen was the official commander of the Huang family musketeer army, and he was also the commander of the righteous Kinmen guerrillas.
This is because Xu Xinsu has won hundreds of pirates in the South China Sea many times, and last year Huang Sheng gave him more than 200 true widow heads who killed Hamada Yabei.
Xu Xin has always had real military merits and is willing to spend money up and down, with Ye Chengjing to help dredge up the relationship, and now he has been promoted two levels in a row to be the fourth rank military attache acting Kinmen guerrilla general.
The original guerrilla general was unfortunately attacked by pirates and sacrificed his life for his country. Sometimes people must know each other, and there is a chance that a leader who is incapable and occupies a position will not die well.
As for whether the Kinmen guerrillas were beaten by that group of pirates, it is still a mystery, Xu Xinsu has dealings with too many pirates and has not obtained information, which is too suspicious.
This place in Kinmen is so dangerous, the risk of losing one's life is greater than the benefit of eating empty salaries, the generals of the imperial court may not dare to come here to take up their posts, and there is no one to send in the imperial court, and soon Xu Xinsu, the acting guerrilla, will turn positive.
Since Kinmen is Xu Xinsu's territory, the Huang family did not have a large-scale garrison here, and a total of 15,000 acres of tuntian fields were better than nothing, and the people belonging to the Huang family had about 4,000 people, and self-sufficiency in grain could be guaranteed.
Xu Xinsu is a long-time figure, he specially asked to see Huang Sheng kowtow again to show his loyalty, the implication is that no matter how Lord Huang develops in the future, he is willing to be a pawn.
Huang Sheng, a capable person who knows how to weigh the pros and cons, welcomes him, and uses good words to appease Xu Xinsu, saying that he will definitely take him to a higher position and make a fortune.
The sea trade fleet returned to Daishan Island and the soldiers were divided into two routes, and the Black Tiger took the fleet all the way through Haizhou and Fushan to unload some grain and then returned to Huangjiawan Island.
Huang Sheng took the fleet directly to "Huaxia Island," and when he arrived, it was already late August, and the two battleships built at the same time as the "Huaxia Haiquan" had also been completed, and they had been handed over to the army for more than a month, and he had traveled back and forth between Huangjiawan Island and "Huaxia Island" many times.
Huang Sheng named the two battleships "Huaxia Wenming" and "Huaxia Guowei" respectively.
On August 28, merchants from all walks of life in Daming were invited to come one after another, and the number of merchants who participated in the "Huaxia Island" autumn fair doubled compared with the number of merchants who came to participate in the order fair in the spring, and the number of people increased fivefold, because many merchants brought men and accounts to prepare to open a branch to do business in this charming place.
It has only been more than half a year, and all the businessmen who have come to "Huaxia Island" in the spring are amazed, and they sigh at the speed of construction here, which is of course the speed of China that the world is amazed by.
As long as the extremely industrious and intelligent Han people get a good atmosphere, they will work hard to create a fabulous architectural miracle.
"Huaxia Island" did not engage in any flashy face-saving projects, but just built a livable city, a piece of cake!
"Huaxia Investment Firm" has completed the construction of the first phase of commercial housing, and Huang Sheng was invited to participate in the board of directors, and the topic is to price high, medium and ordinary commercial housing.
