Chapter 247: fortress

The escaped pirates had no intention of fighting. Zeng Zhida easily occupied another pier more than ten miles away, and captured more than a dozen ships at the same time. He could do nothing to those ships that had escaped, but only for a while. I saw the fleet led by Sun Dongxu sailing into the bay, and at the same time the thunderous cannons rang out again.

After shelling for a while, Sun Dongxu ordered the fleet to sail into this bay. On the way, Koizumi Junichiro had explained the characteristics of this excellent bay. According to him, the sea water in this bay is more than ten meters deep, so it is very suitable for ships. They also only recently built a pier here as a new pier for pirates.

Combined with the explanations of the pirates and the pictures provided by Li Yin, Sun Dongxu has basically confirmed that this piece is the deep-water port that Li Yin said. The port is actually occupied by pirates.

Looking at the scattered and fleeing pirate ships, Sun Dongxu ordered to stop the pursuit. They were very smart and fled in all directions. It was impossible to capture them all with just a dozen ships.

The battle was a complete victory. Both the officers and the soldiers were overjoyed. After drifting at sea for more than ten days, they finally had a place to stay, and this place will be a transit point for Yizhou merchants going to sea in the future.

Tried to dock the treasure ship at the first pier, but failed. Sun Dongxu had to park the fleet in the bay. Now he has a clearer understanding of the deep-water port. Large warships and cargo ships must rely on the deep-water port to dock.

The treasure ships docked one after another, and the craftsmen and soldiers got off the ships. The next thing they had to do was to build a pier and a naval base, and this port would get its first name—Treasure Ship Port, which was used by their warships. name.

"These are the Kunlun slaves?" There were thousands of people squatting on the pier, some of them were pirates who surrendered, and some were plundered by Wang Shijie.

Facing Zeng Zhida's question, Sun Dongxu hesitated and said: "It should be, Your Highness said that these people are all jet-black."

Xia Guangyi's boat was the last one to dock, and he just rushed over at this time, looking at the prisoners of war all over the place, he said, "What are you going to do with these prisoners of war?"

"Now the Treasure Ship Port is in need of manpower construction, I think let them do labor." After thinking for a while, Sun Dongxu said.

His proposal was approved by two people. Although there are more than 10,000 craftsmen who came to Ryukyu this time, the work of mining rocks requires a lot of manpower, and this is also the hardest and most tiring job. Now it is handed over to these prisoners It is most suitable, because the fort that Li Yin asked them to build is really not a simple building. Li Yin called this kind of building a war fortress.

Each of the forts is hexagonal in shape, 25 meters high, and divided into five floors. The platforms are set back layer by layer. Cannons will be placed on the platforms of each layer, and there are shooting towers protruding from the building on each layer for soldiers. Shooting is completely a kind of fortress armed to the teeth, and this kind of fortress will be built along the coastline to protect the rear.

"I really don't understand what His Highness is afraid of. With our ability, we still need to build this kind of thing. It's a complete waste." Zeng Zhida complained.

"These are not our concerns. Your Highness naturally has his considerations. Our duty is to carry out the task. Zhida, next, you will lead the army to explore the depths of the island to clear the island of pirate forces. Guangyi and I are responsible for this." Supervise the construction of military ports and fortresses, and strive to control Ryukyu Island as soon as possible." Sun Dongxu issued an order as the supreme commander.

"Yes!" The two said at the same time.

In Yizhou, Li Yin has been training with the Barrett sniper rifle these days. For this reason, he has consulted a lot of information and has been practicing according to these methods, but now he is obviously not comparable to a professional sniper. Can only be considered an amateur, but it is enough.

After transporting the hot air balloons, Li Yin threw all ten hot air balloons into Taoyuan, and asked them to study on their own, hoping that Rizhou would produce its own hot air balloons sooner rather than later. Tong Yu was very curious about these new gadgets. It's just that the research in this area has not been carried out at this time. Taoyuan is currently trying to ride these things, which is the first step.

All the work in Yizhou was on the right track, and Li Yin's life suddenly became leisurely. He got away from the heavy government and military affairs. He focused on the economic development of Yizhou, and kept thinking about what other advanced technologies could be used. For reference, when Cui Yingying said that if you can eat watermelon in winter, Li Yin suddenly thought of a new agricultural measure-vegetable greenhouses.

"Vegetable greenhouse, high technology?" Guan Sixing was puzzled when he heard the two new terms in Li Yin's mouth, "Your Highness, what is this? I am following you now, and I feel like an illiterate child." .”

Li Yin took a sip of tea and said, "It's only been a long time in the officialdom that I learned to flatter."

Shaking his head, Guan Sixing said: "Your Highness, you have wronged me. You only know the helplessness in the officialdom when you enter the officialdom. None of the officials, big or small, are serious. If you are not tactful, you will do your work well." I can't go down."

Li Yin didn't mention it any more. He understood that it would be the same after he entered the society. After getting in touch with more people, he would smooth the corners of water chestnuts. He said: "This vegetable greenhouse is a technology that can grow summer vegetables in winter. With this kind of technology, we can eat fresh vegetables no matter it is winter or summer, this high technology..."

Li Yin couldn't find a good explanation for a while. It can't be said that this technology is an agricultural technology that was lost in Peru and was restored in modern times. Put water in the ditch where the soil is planted, so as to keep the vegetation irrigated, and fish, shrimp and crabs can also be raised in the ditch, and the feces of fish and shrimp can be used as fertilizer to supplement the lost fertility of the soil. It is a real biological breeding technology.

"In short, this kind of technology... Forget it, I'm looking for you? It's just to let you have a mental preparation so that the people have this concept in their minds. These two technologies will be used in this king's farm. When the time comes, you will organize the people to learn Just promote it." Li Yin stood up and made a gesture to leave, he was about to go to the farm outside the city with Jin Daqian, and when he passed by the governor's mansion, he came in and talked to Guan Sixing about this matter, which made him somewhat prepared.

Looking at the background of Li Yin going away, Guan Sixing rubbed his head, "Is it possible to grow summer vegetables in winter?"

Along the main road of Yizhou City, Li Min and Jin Daqian walked all the way to the southwest. Now Li Min's land is increasing with the passage of time, but there are as many as 60,000 slaves working on his farm. 60,000 people were organized into different production corps to produce grain and various cash crops for Li Min on the land along the Nanhe River, filling Li Min's granary one after another, and the grain management offices in various places also opened every season. Buy a large amount of grain and store it. Every state and county has a granary as a strategic reserve, and sufficient grain indirectly supports his various military operations. Otherwise, he would not be able to launch an expedition to Ryukyu easily. is a strong economy.

"Your Highness, even though fifteen thousand slaves have been assigned, the labor force of the farm is still not enough, especially for the new crops His Highness needs to plant, so the speed of reclaiming wasteland has to be slowed down." On the way , Jin Daqian said suddenly.

Li Yin thought for a while, this is what he has been thinking about all the time, purely human labor can no longer meet Li Yin's requirements for production, agricultural production must be reformed, and as long as it is reform, then machinery must be used, but large quantities are benefiting. He is unwilling to see the use of modern agricultural machinery in the state, because it will undoubtedly attract more people's attention and cause unnecessary trouble.

However, this problem is no longer a problem after Li Yin locked his target on Ryukyu, "Daqian, I have an important task that I want to entrust to you. I wonder if you would like it?"

"The old slave has been favored by His Highness for many years. As long as His Highness orders, the old slave will go through fire and water." Jin Daqian said firmly. rs
