[Full text reading] [.guan m.] Lu Zeyang's Laizhou dialect eliminated a lot of Fan Twelve's precautions. Seeing that the "General Manager" of Lujiazhai was a very "upright" person, he was also quite calm and composed like a general. Feng, Fan Twelve's mood improved a little. Lu Zeyang knew that he was alone with a small number of people, and he had to rely on the help of this team of strong men for many things. He used some tricks to win over Fan Twelve. After all, Fan Twelve was just a gangster on the street. There was too much scheming, and within a few moments the relationship between the two gradually became harmonious.

Fan Twelve said that the Guanxiang young men's team was stationed in several nearby ancestral halls and cemeteries. The government also issued some weapons, but the young men's team had not been trained, so the weapons were useless.

Lu Zeyang comforted him a few more words and called the acting company commander Qian Duo.

Qian Duo joined the army later than Huang Ande. The two of them carried guns together and stood on guard. Qian Duo did not perform very well in the army. He experienced the baptism of the Chengmai Battle and the Public Security War and was promoted to second lieutenant. He originally He was just a platoon leader. After the northward detachment arrived in Shandong, many of its personnel were reduced due to frostbite. The commander of the third company of the battle infantry was left on Qiqi Island because of frostbite on his feet and was inconvenient to move. Qian Duo was appointed as the deputy instead. company commander

Although Qian Duo is dressed in a homespun cotton robe, his stamina and energy honed through long-term military service cannot be concealed by this outfit.

He walked into the hall with a step of 75 centimeters, stood at attention and saluted: "Battle Infantry Company 3, Acting Company Commander, Second Lieutenant Qian Duo reports to you! Chief, please give instructions!"

"Take a break!" Lu Zeyang ordered, ""

The sound of walking in and the crisp movements shocked Fan Twelve - how energetic Xiao Zhen is!

Fan Twelve saw a lot of local soldiers and local soldiers who came to Nanguanxiang for reinforcements. Most of them looked depressed. It was rare that they had a few spirits.

Not only was he energetic, but he also had a vague murderous aura about him - Fan Twelve opened a restaurant outside Laizhou City. He had seen a lot of military officers passing by. He had been in battle and had killed people. There is a murderous aura that is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary burly men showing off their bloody bravery.

"This is Mr. Fan, the local card player. If you need anything, just ask him!" Lu Zeyang introduced, "Mr. Fan is an old man here. We need to ask him for a lot of help when we are stationed here."

Fan Twelve quickly accompanied the smiling face: "Do your duty, your duty."

At the moment, Fan Twelve and Qian Duo went out to discuss matters such as garrisoning, sentry posts and building fortifications - all of these things would be taken care of if they had enough money. As a second lieutenant officer who had gone through three months of 16/7 intensive training by the teaching team... he was... This ability is only stronger than that of the half-assed Lu Yuan. Lu Zeyang arranged the first things and immediately took a few soldiers with several special reconnaissance teams out of the customs compartment and headed to Haimiao Port in the west of the city to prepare for some preliminary work. survey work

His calculation was: If he only assisted Sun Yuanhua to defend the city, his value would not be reflected at all. Only by making greater achievements in engine work can he effectively improve his and the financial office's status in the Senate. This is to It’s time to show your “subjective initiative”

As the war develops, it is estimated that the next move of both sides will definitely be a tug-of-war around the defense of Laizhou City. The focus of the rebels' attacks will also shift from the vicinity of Dengzhou to Laizhou, which is already the site of the later Weifang and western Yantai generations. If the refugees take the land route from here to Qimu Island, it will be a bit far - the refugees take the land route too slowly, so it is logical to find a suitable port near Laizhou as a transshipment point.

He counted Haimiao Port in the west of the city as a transshipment point. It is a famous fishing port in the Bohai Bay and has excellent conditions. Many of the Shandong surnames who broke into Guandong and the Eighth Route Army's advance into the Northeast started from Haimiao. Especially this place is only 10 kilometers away from Fucheng and close to Laizhou. The land transportation is relatively convenient. At the same time, a large number of refugees will definitely run into the walled city to take refuge, which will put pressure on the city defense work. It is estimated that Sun Yuanhua will be eager for the Senate to carry away these food-consuming burdens.

"As long as the trestle is built here in Haimiao Port and Laizhou City is used as bait, the population will come in droves. Calculating it this way, the credit will be great..." Mr. Lu Yuanlao, who was riding on a horse wrapped in a thick military coat, couldn't bear the thought of this. Just wipe it haha

But when I rushed to Haimiao Port and saw it, my heart dropped: the sea was frozen.

It was his fault that he lost Jingzhou because of his carelessness. In later generations, Haimiao Port was often reported on CCTV as a typical example of winter freezes in the Bohai Bay. In the Ming Dynasty during the Little Ice Age, the freeze situation would only become more serious. Lu Yuanlao thought of the geographical location of Haimiao Port. I unconsciously ignored this point because of its superiority. Now I have to scratch my head and scratch my head. What should I do?

After wandering around Haimiao Port, Lu Yuanlao finally ran out of plans and had no choice but to get on the Mongolian horse borrowed from the cavalry and return home sadly.

On the way back, Lu Zeyang has been thinking about how to save his plan. Now Mr. Lu in Huang County has sent armed work teams to go deep into various parts of the Jiaodong Peninsula. The work of "picking up people" is in full swing, and his own actions are eight. He had just flirted with it, but it was ruthlessly broken by this damn weather - he had to leave a bad impression of "exaggerating" among the big bosses in the financial department. Mr. Lu now particularly regrets that he said something to Cheng at the banquet before departure. Donghe Yifan praised Haikou. It seems that this field work is not accounting after all, and he still thinks too simply.

Returning to his foothold at Nanguan of the county seat, Lu Zeyang stood in front of a large-scale map of Laizhou Prefecture, compared the data from the field survey just now, and thought about it again.

Judging from the map, in addition to Haimiao Port, there are two places where Laizhou can access the sea, namely Sanshan Island in the north and Hutou Cliff in the south. In Lu Zeyang’s impression: Sanshan Island was a port that was later developed by the local government. He I have been there once or twice. Although the location is closer to the north, due to the influence of ocean currents, it does not freeze in winter. The disadvantage is that the straight-line distance from Laizhou Fucheng reaches 25 kilometers, and it takes two or three days for refugees to travel by land. , it is only 20 nautical miles away from Qimu Island by sea, and it is too close for shipping. It is quite uneconomical to build a temporary dock. Elder Lu shook his head, and moved the needle of the ranging compass to another candidate. Location: Hutou Cliff

Compared with Haimiao Port, Hutou Cliff is located further south, and it is also the end point of shipping. Only the line from Qimu Island to Hutou Cliff along the entire Laizhou Bay coast is a sandy and gravel coast suitable for ships to dock, while Hutou Cliff is Touya is almost all tidal flats to the west, with no access to the sea, so from an economic point of view, transporting disaster victims from here is the most profitable point, but the problem is similar to that of Haimiao Port, ice

"Ice, ice..." Lu Zeyang was very annoyed, and after going around and around, he came back to this unsolvable problem. In fact, according to his own experience, the winter in Shandong Peninsula is not particularly cold, and the temperature in Laizhou rarely drops. When the temperature reached minus 5 degrees, one year he even spent the winter without wearing long johns in order to be a hero. Now it is the first month of the fifth year of Chongzhen. If you are optimistic, the sea will thaw within a month or two. This period Time, the Senate is still patient.

The problem is that it is the Ming Dynasty, and the climate and water data of Laizhou Bay do not exist. If the situation is as he estimated, the freezing period can be used to build facilities near the port and make preliminary preparations, so that refugees can be temporarily accommodated. In the city - if there is not enough food, ask Qimu Island to support Sun Yuanhua with a batch of food. When the spring comes and the flowers bloom, Laizhou City can explode its population in large numbers.

However, if we really want to do this, it will involve the issue of refugees leaving the city. In the original historical time and space, the main force of the rebels was stationed under Laizhou City, and the city was besieged for more than half a year. Although ancient sieges rarely could truly encircle the city to the point of "watertight". , but tens of thousands of people want to leave the city and go to the seaside. It is impossible not to see the rebels.

However, Lu Yuan had talked to him before, and he would try to solve this matter. As for how to solve it, Lu Zeyang could roughly guess what agreement he wanted to reach with the rebels.

Fan Twelve was arranging for people to deliver door panels and build bunks to the Wang Family Cemetery. He saw that these village warriors were busy with their own tasks: housing, building bunks, repairing fortifications... No one was lazy, and no one was lazy. People gather together to chat. Although there are constant exchanges of people between the various courtyards, there is no unnecessary noise and the order is orderly.

Fan Twelve secretly admired him: No wonder Mr. Lu is so trusting! This is no Xiangyong, he is clearly a first-class strong soldier!

Walking into a courtyard, there was a strange two-wheeled vehicle emitting green smoke - Fan Twelve had seen many vehicles. This was the first time he saw a car with a chimney. He couldn't help but be very curious and took a closer look. There was actually an iron stove with a pot of boiling water on the fire. Several cooks were busy at the side. There were many wooden boxes piled next to the car as well as the cabbage, radish and grain packages that had just been delivered.

There are also several baskets of seafood in the yard that smell of seawater - they were probably brought just now.

The strong men who came with him to deliver the planks also felt strange, and they all came over to watch the fun - it was the first time they had seen this furnace installed on the car, it was so eye-opening.

When the cook saw them approaching, he didn't stop them, but he didn't allow them to get too close, let alone the bucket or the operating table. Strange smell

Fan Twelve was looking at it strangely when he suddenly saw Qian Duo walking in and called him over.

"What are your orders? Deputy Qian?"

"Chief, um, I want to eat sea sausage and mackerel dumplings. I heard that you used to be a chef, can you make them?"

"Okay, this is a famous local side dish," Fan Twelve thought to himself, so this is what Mr. Lu is good at - although this food is delicious, few dignitaries care about it - "Poor People's Joy" To be continued If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
