Landing Ship No. 1 slowly sailed into the Golden Horn, and behind him were seven converted sailboats. Li Ming mobilized all the ships in Jeju and Donggang to bring all the captured supplies back to Ulleungdo.

Nearly 10,000 war horses and horses alone were brought back, as well as a large number of other supplies. In order to transport these supplies, the company sent all the ships over. Dozens of steam deck barges and dozens of sailboats and wooden sailboats are working day and night to transport supplies to Vladivostok.

Li Ming and Song Tao stepped off the No. 1 landing ship and found that several members of the Standing Committee of the Military Commission, including Gao Jianguo and Qiao Haipeng, as well as most of the committee members, had arrived, and it was quite solemn.

Gao Jianguo walked up and gave Li Ming a bear hug, and said with a smile: "You guys have made a lot of noise this time, good guy, you have temporarily put together a mixed brigade, and you have done so many things." ”

After he finished speaking, he gave Song Tao another punch, and laughed: "Boy, when you are at home, I am annoyed by looking at you, but I miss you a lot when I can't see you for a few months." ”

Song Tao rubbed his shoulders and said with a bitter face: "Big brother, then you still don't think about me, my small body can't stand your punch after punch, you still bother me." ”

They chatted warmly here at the dock for a while, and then returned to the Far Eastern Division headquarters together. As soon as Li Ming and Song Tao walked into the headquarters of the Far Eastern Division, they were attracted by a huge sand table placed in the middle of the room.

Gao Jianguo led them to the side of the sand table, pointed to the sand table and said with a smile: "This is what we just made zuò, south to Biquge www.biquge.info Town, north to Xingkai Lake, west to Ningguta, east to Hu'er Bald Guard." The railway from Vladivostok to Artem has been fully connected, and the next step is to use Artem as a support point to completely control this area.

I forgot to tell you that Artem has been renamed Bac Ninh Town, and the first mayor of the town was Hu Wei. The commander of the garrison area of Bac Ninh is a strong victory, and the garrison brigade of the Far Eastern Division has rushed there with all its troops fully armed. You have two days off, and then you can also go to Bac Ninh Town, which is now bustling. ”

Song Tao glanced at the sand table, turned his head and said, "The two groups of people and horses in the Tartars have been wiped out by us, and it is estimated that in the next few years." They should have little influence in the East China Sea, and it's time for us to take their place. But now we don't have enough people. ”

Gao Jianguo nodded and said: "The company will develop the southern part of Xingkai Lake next year, and the plan of the Ministry of Agriculture has been made, and it has been approved at the meeting of the company's board of directors." The company's immigration task next year is very heavy, and it is initially estimated that it will be more than 100,000 people. We have already made contact with Song Shiping, who has mobilized a large number of ships this year, and has sent nearly 10,000 people in the past few months, all of whom are displaced people from Shanxi and Shaanxi.

Next year, the company will cooperate with them and increase the efforts to introduce immigrants from Daming. And our actions in Shandong at the end of next year. Some immigrants will also be recruited, and it will be almost enough by then. ”

Li Ming thought for a moment and said, "If we destroy the two groups of Tartars, Houjin's strength will be greatly affected." Next year, he will be like in history, will there be a mutiny in Kong Youde in Shandong? ”

Gao Jianguo nodded and said: "Although the Tartars were hurt by us this time, next year Sun Chengzong will once again take command of the military affairs outside the Guanwai, and he will still rush to build Dalinghe City for the third time." Dalinghe City is an important line of defense to shield Jinzhou, and if the Ming army wants to consolidate the situation in Liaodong, it must build this city. Facing the pressure of Daming. Huang Taiji must not sit idly by, even if he smashes the pot and sells iron, he has to find a way to dismantle it.

I guess Huang Taiji will make peace with us. At least for a few years he wants to stabilize us. After all, we are far away in Haidong, and the Daling River is the threat in front of them. Hou Jin must put all his energy in the direction of Ning Jin. When the time comes, they will fight them, and we will operate with peace of mind in the past two years, hurry up and prepare, and when the time is ripe, we will wave our troops to Liaodong and destroy Houjin. ”

Li Ming also thinks this is the truth. In fact, the Wuqiao Mutiny in history was by no means accidental, when the Liaodong soldiers of Dengzhou and the Shandong soldiers were at odds. There are also frequent frictions with Shandong locals. Most of the generals of the Liao soldiers in Dengzhou were ruffians from Dongjiang Town, how could they bear such grievances, even if there was no Wuqiao Mutiny, they would have rebelled sooner or later.

Bac Ninh town is now in full swing everywhere, since the railway line was fully opened. Large quantities of supplies are brought in from Vladivostok every day. In order to speed up the infrastructure construction here, the company sent tens of thousands of laborers.

A train slowly drove into the railway station of Bac Ninh Town, and a large number of laborers poured in from both sides of the railway, ready to unload the materials on the wagon. Li Ming and Song Tao jumped off the front of the car.

They walked through the dense labor force and walked into the town of Bac Ninh. It's been under construction for a few months and it's still very busy, with the roar of all sorts of mechanical vehicles everywhere.

The seat of the Bac Ninh Town Government is a few simple assembled houses, and when Li Ming and the others walked in, Hu Wei happened to be walking out. When he saw Li Ming, he walked up with a smile and shook hands with Li Ming and Song Tao.

"Li Ming, you're back, you've been gone for a few months. Come...... Come in and sit down, I'm so busy right now, and there's no tea or anything here. ”

Song Tao took out a military kettle from the satchel behind him, and said with a smile: "I knew that when I came to you, there would definitely be nothing, so my brother had already prepared and brought tea directly, hehe......"

As soon as he finished speaking, he wanted to take a sip, but Li Ming snatched it up, and with a "poof", Li Ming squirted out all the water he drank, and said angrily: "What kind of water are you, isn't this wine?" Choke me, cough ...... Cough...... You bastard......"

Song Tao watched Li Ming cough when he was choked, and laughed: "Should ...... Let you rob me, waste a big sip of wine. ”

He snatched the kettle and took a sip.

Hu Wei hurriedly poured a glass of water for Li Ming, and said with a smile: "Drink some water, you dare to grab Song Tao's kettle, this kid uses wine as water every day." ”

Li Ming glared at Song Tao and took two sips before relieving himself. He put down the water glass and said to Hu Wei: "I walked around the town just now, and your progress is quite fast." ”

Hu Wei nodded and said: "The railway has not yet been repaired, I will lead the advance team to come over for infrastructure construction, after the railway is opened, the underground pipe network here, such as water supply and drainage, heating, power supply, as well as communication base stations, office areas, roads, warehouse areas, living areas and other ground foundation projects, has been almost done according to the planning plan."

After the railway was opened to traffic, the materials were directly constructed, which saved a lot of time. Major infrastructure projects are now nearing completion. It will be completed before the onset of winter. Only enterprises such as steel complexes and thermal power plants are still under construction.

The exploration team of the company's energy department, based on modern sources, found an open-pit coal mine nearby, where thousands of natives sent from Luzon were digging coal. This winter, it will be able to meet the coal supply of Bac Ninh Town. ”

Li Ming said with a smile: "The progress of your work here is much faster than that of Vladivostok at the beginning. I see that the buildings here are all brick and concrete structures, can they be completed and moved in before winter? ”

Hu Wei nodded and said: "Our workload here is incomparable with the original Vladivostok, and then the current construction committee and other departments, after two years of hard work, have cultivated a large number of workers who are familiar with their own positions, and now the main force involved in the construction of Bac Ninh Town is this group of workers." The company's building materials base, cement factories and brick factories and other building materials enterprises have started large-scale production, plus thousands of qualified construction workers, all infrastructure projects can be completed before the winter. ”

Song Tao also smiled and said: "With our workaholic here, there is no unfinished job." Old Hu, don't talk about it, you can lead us around. ”

After listening to Song Tao's words, Hu Wei stood up and said to Li Ming: "Yes, I will take you around, just as I am going to the open-pit coal mine, let's go there first." ”

When they left the Bac Ninh town government, Hu Wei found a farm truck and drove to the coal mine in the eastern part of Bac Ninh town. There is no shortage of coal in the Outer Northeast, but Artem is one of the few large coalfields. The Soviet Union has been developing it since 1924, and it is very rich in coal resources.

The railway to this area is in the construction stage, and when it is completed and opened to traffic, it will be directly connected to the plant of the company's steel complex. The company will build a port in the northern part of the Amur Bay, where the steel complex and the coal mine will be connected by rail.

At present, the coal mine is still in the construction stage, and only some primitive mining is carried out, and it is transported back to Bac Ninh town every day to supply coal for this winter's winter. Hu Wei had already contacted the coal mine via walkie-talkie, and when they arrived, Ni Heping, vice minister of the Ministry of Industry, and the heads of various departments of the Bac Ninh coal mine, were waiting there to greet Li Ming.

Li Ming was very embarrassed, he got out of the car and hurriedly walked up a few steps, holding Ni Heping's hand and said with a smile: "Old Ni, why are you still standing here waiting for me, I'm just coming over and taking a look." ”

Ni Heping said with a smile: "Our managing director has arrived, of course I have to come to greet him personally." Come...... I'll take you to the coal mine to have a look, this coal mine is amazing, if this is developed, our Far East Company will no longer have to worry about coal in the future. ”

He led Li Ming to a dirt slope, pointed to the distance and said excitedly: "In modern society, this is a relatively famous coal mine in the Outer Northeast. We are now only a small part of this coalfield, but this is an area where open-pit mining can be made, and there are many more coal mines buried underground. But now we don't have the capacity to develop underground coal mines, so we have to wait for later.

But even this open-pit coal field, compared with the small open-pit coal mine in Vladivostok, is heaven and earth in terms of coal quality and output. In this day and age, coal is an absolutely indispensable resource and is of great strategic importance to our Far East company.

With the continuous development of the company, the demand for coal for power generation, steam locomotives, coal for building materials production, domestic coal, metallurgical coal, and coal coke chemical industry will definitely be massive. However, as long as we have our Bac Ninh coal mine, the company will not have to worry about coal resources for a long time in the future. (To be continued......)
