There are many benefits to taking over the Ezochi coal mine.
The first is that the refugees can be resettled and allowed to mine; the second is that a long-term and stable cooperative relationship can be established with the Ezo people; the third is the energy issue.
Zhao Xin has bought two 1000KW silent diesel generators so far. One is for Zhao Liang's later industrial development, and the other is for Chen Qingsong's various equipment that needs to be charged.
But not to mention that this thing is extremely expensive, it burns diesel! Thirty liters per hour.
Coupled with the Thor and two patrol boats, Zhao Xin has to go back to buy oil every once in a while. After a long time, he couldn't bear the trouble.
If we have thermal coal, everything will be easier. The purchased diesel is only enough for three ships, and the rest will be solved by coal power generation.
But if you want to occupy the Ishikari Coal Mine, you need to occupy three locations from the central and western parts of the Ezo Land to the east as soon as possible. One is the Yubari area of later generations, the second is Sapporo, and the third is Otaru Port.
Only when these three points are connected can the mined coal be continuously transported to Beihai Town.
Zhao Xin originally wanted to completely drive the Matsumae clan out of the Ezo territory through the Ezo people's uprising five years later. But now it seems that for Ishikari's coal mine, we have to fight the Matsumae clan.
According to historical records, in the past few years, the Matsumae Clan has extended its tentacles to the Sapporo area of later generations.
Therefore, Beihai Town must have more than 1,500 troops. Five hundred of them were stationed at Beihai Port, and another thousand were dispatched to occupy the above three areas. The refugees were resettled in three locations to engage in mining and farming.
As for the Ezo people, these people basically do not farm, but mainly make a living by fishing and hunting.
Historically, Tanuma Yiji, the current shogunate veteran, will also increase the development of Ezo land in the next few years and gradually carry out large-scale land reclamation.
After listening to Zhao Xin's analysis, everyone raised their hands in agreement.
In view of the fact that the future force will be composed of all islanders, Zhao Xin made a very serious request to the six-person team of the Ministry of Security. They must learn the islanders' dialect, and this matter was non-negotiable.
How can we train and command so many soldiers if we don’t know their language?
As for letting all soldiers master Mandarin, study classes can be set up after the recruitment is completed so that the soldiers can study in the evening.
Therefore, the language teacher that Zhao Xin assigned to Liu Sheng and the others was Sheng Haizhou.
"It's you." After Zhao Xin found Sheng Haizhou, he told Liu Sheng and the others that they wanted to learn the island's dialect.
"Haha! I must work hard and teach Master Liu and the six of them as soon as possible." Sheng Haizhou bowed and saluted.
Things are changing, Mr. Liu...
There was no need to wait for tomorrow. Sheng Haizhou acted resolutely and started class with the six-person team from the security department in the afternoon.
It is said that among the six people, Ding Guofeng is the most interested in learning foreign languages. Why? Loli...
"This one has no shame." Liu Sheng cursed secretly in his heart.
Ever since Ding Guofeng saw little A Miao next to Zhao Xin, he had been envious of her for a long time, and he had always fantasized about having a little maid to serve him. But first, there were only more than 300 people in the camp at the time, and no suitable candidates could be found. Second, the foreign language was not strong enough.
Seeing more and more refugees arriving, this guy started to become jealous.
If it weren't for the fact that Katayama Kanbei was a samurai and he was afraid that someone would chase him with a knife when he was injured, Ding Guofeng's first target would be Katayama Kanbei's eldest daughter.
Ding Guofeng mentioned this matter once when he was chatting privately with Wu Siyu.
"Scumbag." Wu Siyu sighed at that time.
Ding Guofeng was still thinking about Katayama's eldest daughter at the time, so he didn't react at all and blurted out: "Who?"
Wu Siyu glanced at the man opposite him with contempt and did not answer.
Speaking of which, Wu Siyu’s dream is to find a beauty from the south of the Yangtze River, Yangzhou Slim Horse is the best. But when he talked about this matter with Zhao Xin once, Zhao Xin looked at him strangely.
"Real scum." Zhao Xin cursed secretly in his heart at that time. Don’t you know that the Yangzhou Shouma in this era are all eleven or twelve-year-old little girls? After the age of fifteen, no one wants them, so they are usually sold to the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion.
What's more, all the women in Jiangnan nowadays have bound feet. When going out, they have to hold a bamboo stick in their hands to support them before they can walk. Girls who don't have their feet bound are rare, and serious people will never come to propose marriage.
In this era, we really want to find Qing Dynasty women who don’t have their feet bound, and there are quite a few of them. None of the girls from the Bannermen have their feet bound, Wu Siyu, do you want it?
"These three scum." Zhao Liang once overheard Ding Guofeng chatting with Wu Siyu, talking about Loli girls; but the next day he overheard Zhao Xin chatting with Wu Siyu, talking about Yangzhou. Shou Ma; look at Zhao Xin again, the little beauty from the island country is waiting for him every day.
Zhao Liang's dream is to find a serious Shandong girl. If you are tall and straight, it is best to be like Brigitte Lin. By the way, where is Brigitte Lin from? Qingdao or Laiyang? Zhao Liang seemed to have seen it in some magazine before.
But what Zhao Liang didn't know was that most of the Shandong women in this era, except for the ladies and personal maids from the families of officials, gentry and landlords, were dark and thin girls from poor families. Brigitte Lin? Keep dreaming.
"What do these guys think about all day long?" Wang Yuanfang saw Zhao Liang's expression of lust during class and quickly raised his hand and waved twice in front of his eyes.
It is said that Squad Leader Wang also has his own dream. No matter how you say it, he is already forty years younger. The son who used to be a child in the village is about to go to college. But Wang Yuanfang was still wandering alone.
Although his family had introduced him to a partner before, when they heard that Wang Yuanfang never had a serious job, they turned around and stopped talking. Monitor Wang had no choice but to devote all his passion to online games; when he had no money, he released his energy on construction sites.
But now that he has a serious career, the salary Zhao Xin promised is not low. Then Wang Yuanfang's heart began to stir like the spring in Beihai Town.
People from the island country, forget it, you haven’t met anyone you like; people from the Qing Dynasty, haven’t they gone there yet?
"What are these adults thinking? Why hasn't anyone responded after I've been talking for a long time?" Sheng Haizhou looked at the six adults in front of him in confusion.
"Should I shout loudly, or cough lightly to remind them?" Sheng Haizhou felt that this matter was really difficult to handle.
