After inspecting the Mosan Iron and Steel Base, Chen Xin stayed for a few more days and set up a new small shipyard here with some shipbuilders from the Korean Southern Detachment. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the future, the steel industry in Maoshan will become more and more huge, in this era when there is no railway, shipping is the most economical and fast mode of transportation, and the forestry resources near Maoshan are also very rich, it is a pity not to use it.

After the shipyard can provide enough inland waterway transport ships, it can transfer the warships that are now responsible for transportation tasks and return to their old jobs, and the number of ships is still a little tight.

During this period, Chen Xin had to solve another matter.

In addition to seeing the most basic steam engines and building a shipyard, the most important purpose of this visit to Maoshan was to use this place as a base to recruit ethnic minorities from the Jihei region in northeast China to join the army and infiltrate here.

The ethnic groups that survive in this cold and unusually cold white mountain and black water all have indomitable will and skillful hunting skills, and are very good candidates for soldiers.

Recruiting troops here can not only slowly influence his clan through the recruited soldiers, weaken Houjin's influence here, but also reduce Houjin's reserve soldiers, and most importantly, form a flank attack on Houjin from here in the future.

In order to control this area, Chen Xin made a bloody investment this time, and brought most of the remaining tiger ben here, the war ability of the tiger ben definitely does not need to be questioned, in this society where the strong are king, 200 tiger ben is a powerful force that can slaughter any small and medium-sized tribe.

They will collectively infiltrate the Jihei region to establish a northeastern detachment, where they will grow and wait for Chen Xin's call.

After finishing this matter, Chen Xin returned to the camp, which was still under construction.

Ever since he came to the Yalu River, Chen Xin had not seen Amin again, on the one hand, because of the busy affairs here, and on the other hand, Chen Xin had no intention of accepting the rule of others.

It's just that now his strength is not strong enough, and he can't turn his face, so he can only use the excuse that Houjin on the other side continues to mobilize troops, and he also needs to guard against the sneak attack of the Ming army, so he is so stalemate and does not go to Beijing.

Amin was not dissatisfied, but sent someone to condole, and the messenger sent was actually Yajia's cronie Bao Yibulu.

After greeting An, Ann Bulu instead of Amin asked what difficulties there were in the northern defense line and what needed the support of the imperial court.

At this time, Chen Xin remembered that Amin wanted to find himself as a son-in-law, and he agreed to it just so that Amin could make up his mind to be self-reliant, but now he really wants to be his son-in-law, absolutely not, it has come to this time and space, and he has to make his own decisions about marriage matters. Thinking of the Manchu concubines and the so-called Geges in the photos of later generations, Chen Xin would never allow himself to marry a wife like that.

However, he can't be so straightforward, he can only euphemistically say that it is still the beginning of the dynasty, and it is not appropriate to talk about the private affairs of his children, and he must put the country first, and then Chen Xin immediately changed the topic.

"I wonder how the construction of Tianmo Reservoir and Shuifeng Reservoir is going now?"

The construction of the Cheonmo Reservoir and the Shuifeng Reservoir was a plan made by Chen Xin based on the reconnaissance of the Eagle Falcon and Lao Bai's calculations, which were located near Gucheng and Shuifeng Lake in the Joseon Kingdom.

The lower reaches of the Yalu River were almost unfrozen in later generations, and only occasionally in a few particularly cold years would they freeze, but it was not as severe as the current winter.

Chen Xin summed up the reason, it should be that there are no reservoirs in each tributary to intercept the river water, resulting in a decrease in the amount of water flowing into the Yalu River in the dry season, less river water, and the temperature in the Xiaoice River period is lower than in previous years, so it has caused the situation that it is now frozen in winter, and even can run over the army.

If large reservoirs can be built in the two tributaries of the Yalu River in North Korea, it is likely that the Yalu River can be prevented from freezing, even if the temperature is too low, the river is still frozen, and the water of the tributaries is constantly washing, and the ice surface can be maintained for a long time, at least reducing the freezing period by more than half.

So when Chen Xin decided to hold on to the Yalu River as early as April, he sent a report to Amin, asking for the construction of two large reservoirs near Guicheng and Shuifeng Lake.

After that, Chen Xin was busy farming and expanding, and he also forgot about the reservoir, and now he wants to change the topic, and he can't help but think of this matter in his mind.

"Grandpa, rest assured, this matter is a top priority, as far as I know, in recent months, a large number of Aha have been sent from all over the country to go there, I also went to see a few times when I came, tsk, the repair is really fast, it is really a miserable."

Chen Xin was a little puzzled, how did the reservoir repair get on the side, and asked curiously, "How did you say this?" ”

"Miserable, that's really miserable." Ann Bulu sighed twice before explaining, "Grandpa, when the reservoir was being repaired, in order to prevent a large number of Aha from gathering to make trouble, they were divided into several different positions, and everyone started work at the same time.

The steward gave everyone a death order, how much soil must be dug every day, and only after digging can they eat, and those who can't dig up will be whipped.

In the beginning, the amount set was too large, most people couldn't dig it up, and some people resisted when they were hungry, but fortunately, the Great Khan sent a large army, and all of them were suppressed, and at that time, the killing was a river of blood, and tens of thousands of people died.

After adding people to it again, the people in charge also wanted to make more profits, and constantly adjusted the amount of digging and food quotas, and there were several incidents, and a large number of people had to be killed each time.

Fortunately, the Great Khan knew that these two reservoirs were important things to block the Houjin army, so after the imperial court was first established, he sent a large army to loot everywhere to ensure that at least tens of thousands of people would arrive at the reservoir construction site every month.

You also know that the problem of those flag soldiers has always been very rude, 10,000 people are sent to the construction site, and at least several times this number of people will die on the way, so ah, this reservoir is simply piling up with life. ”

Chen Xin couldn't believe that he was able to create such a big formation just by building a reservoir, and then he was a little relieved, this is a slave who died in the country, without his own country and his own army, of course, he was bullied and slaughtered by others.

However, Chen Xin still asked, "If you kill people like this, aren't you afraid of killing people?" ”

Ann Bulu smiled and said, "Grandpa, you haven't gone in the direction of Shangjing for a long time, the North Koreans are called more than one, and they can't finish catching it at all."

The Aha who were captured from all over the country had to go through more than a month of selection, killing those who did not work well, killing those who were too good to eat, picking out the Aha who could both work and eating less, and then grabbed a batch and continued to select.

That's it, and now there are too many Aha along the way to count. However, when the army went out to search, they were still able to catch the Koreans. Tell me, how can it seem like it can be killed?

The most important thing is that after the surrender of the king of Korea, the puppet Korean state established in the south has been made miserable, and a large number of refugees have crossed the river and waited directly on the side of the road to be arrested as Ahha.

You say that they themselves are so cheap, who still treats them as human beings? ”

Hearing this, Chen Xin's heart couldn't help but move, and he remembered a recent report by the guerrilla detachment, saying that a large number of refugees had crossed the river to the south bank of the Datong River and fled to the south bank.

To the north is the Han established by Amin, who is wantonly exploiting and massacring the Koreans, and on the south bank, the guerrilla detachment supports the former Korean king Shizi to "coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes", and relies on the means of the rogue to continue to grow and develop.

Whether the Koreans fled to the north or the south, they could not live in peace, and they were destined to suffer.

Chen Xin calculated, it seems that in a few years, this place will be empty, this is a good opportunity to completely occupy North Korea, as long as the refugees who have no land to plant are relocated from the Ming Dynasty, so that the proportion of the population of the Ming Dynasty far exceeds that of the Koreans, this will be completely my Chinese land.
