Han Qi took a look around the Penghu Islands.
He was angry that Liang Chuan dared to set up so many military facilities on the island privately, and any one of them would be grounds for beheading.
Han Qi had been blowing the sea breeze for a whole day and stood motionless on the sea cliff. The lunch on the island was a standard three dishes and one soup. Everyone ate the same thing, which was pig food eaten by the Japanese who were escorted to the island to guard it. Keep them from starving to death without giving them the strength to act recklessly.
All other people's food is the same. This is Liang Chuan's own rule!
It is not easy to have a decent meal on the island. Food is a precious resource, and it must be cherished no matter in wartime or in peacetime.
The Japanese have an advantage. They are like born fishermen. They make a living by the sea. They are born with water skills and have excellent fishing skills. This is undeniable.
It's just that their tools are far behind those of the Central Plains fishermen.
Let’s talk about sea ships first. Large sea ships are in the hands of officials and big merchants, but ordinary people don’t have them. They only have a small sampan, so they don't dare to go too far from the shore to fish, and encountering rough waves is even more dangerous.
There are also fishing nets. Green hemp and kenaf are also grown in the island country, which are the materials for making hemp ropes and fish nets. However, the area of the island country is so large. If you don't have more, the hemp production will not increase at all. As a result, the output of fishing nets will not be too high, and it will be even more difficult to have high-quality fishing nets.
There are no fishing nets, and there are harpoons, fishhooks and other tools. This is an alien thing for an island country that is extremely short of iron resources. In addition to businessmen from the south, there are also iron ore smuggled from Khitan and Goryeo. The common people do not have these three things on hand. Two irons.
Now Su Wei has purchased various supplies from Qingyuan Port, including good fishing gear!
These Japanese people were given fishing nets and fishing gear, and were allowed to go out to sea to fish. As long as they had a harvest, they would enjoy the same status as the Tianxiong Army soldiers when they came back. Treat them well. Their nature is to flatter, and they will immediately put out a hundred thousand energy. Produce fish for the island!
The sea has nurtured countless creatures!
In this era of Yizhou Strait, there are countless fish just a few feet away from the coast, and they are all huge and delicious sea fish.
Sea fish is difficult to cook because it requires superb cooking skills. This may be a problem for others, but it is not a problem at all for Liang Chuan!
The carpenters and bricklayers working on the island are all recruited from the port and are hired with high salaries! Craftsmen also have a high status on the island, and if they want to leave, ships are always ready for them, so they won't embarrass them at all.
The sea fish is cooked by the chef, and there is no duplicate every day, and it is extremely nutritious. In addition, Liang Chuan himself has chili peppers, mustard roots, and various spices bought from Nanyang. Although the cost is a bit higher, it is worth it to have a bite of pepper fish head and mustard sashimi!
The Japanese also wanted to live. Knowing that the people on the island were short of meat, they used their own expertise and tried their best to cater to the Song people. The source of meat on the island was no longer a problem!
After occupying Penghu, Su Wei began to clean up the silted harbor.
This is a natural harbor and an excellent haven.
There are many typhoons in the southeast summer. Once a typhoon comes, it will be the end of the sea-going ships. The seaport of Penghu is a transit station, where you can supply supplies and take shelter from the wind. There are two sea cliffs on the left and right, and there are close-in defense guns on the mountains. I am not afraid that anyone will come to take advantage of this harbor!
The workshops and raw materials on Liu'ao Island have begun to be transferred to Penghu Island!
Although Liu'ao Island has a superior location, the island is too small and too close to the mainland. The industry on this island is Liang Chuan's lifeblood, and he has done everything he can to protect it.
But on the one hand, he had to guard against the Japanese coming from the sea, and on the other hand, he had to guard against the officers and soldiers on the ground stabbing him in the back. These two factors were what Liang Chuan was most worried about.
If the iron-smelting and tool-making industries were moved to Penghu, we would only have to guard against enemies at sea, and we would no longer have to worry about being attacked from both sides.
Liang Chuan is in the front, and Su Wei is not idle behind the scenes. On the one hand, they need to mobilize the materials on the island, and on the other hand, they must move the industries on Liuao Island as soon as possible!
Liu'ao Island Su Wei has been operating for many years. The island has already had a strong smell of fireworks, as well as camps and other buildings. They have to be demolished as soon as they are moved. The base area that was built with great pains was razed within a few days. Flat ground.
Su Wei used a lot of gunpowder to directly blow up the houses and workshops on the island to the ground!
Leave no trace behind!
The fishermen in Longhai County found out strangely that in the past when they came to Liuao Island for fishing, if they took a second look at the island, someone would come up and scold them, which would cause troublesome disputes with them. Now the island is empty of people, and the fishermen directly When we landed on the island, we found that there was no one on the island! So where have all the people from the past gone?
For a time, the legend about Liu'ao Island arose again.
Common people say that Liu'ao Island was attacked by the Japanese. The Japanese not only killed people but also destroyed houses, turning Liu'ao Island into a dead island!
The population of Penghu Island suddenly increased. Fortunately, the island was large enough. In later generations, nearly 100,000 people lived on Penghu Island, and part of the island land was reserved for war.
Now that the entire island is occupied by sergeants, the Tianxiong Army and the people from Liuao Island are more than enough!
This poor and backward island was in a completely primitive state before the Japanese came. There were many wild animals on the island. After the Japanese came, they transformed Penghu Island, but they only scratched the surface. The real transformation It starts now.
Han Qi exiled more than two thousand slaves to Penghu Island with a wave of his hand. When these people arrived, Su Wei originally wanted them to work in shackles, but Liang Chuan just waved his hand and divided them into several groups. It was solved perfectly!
There is a slave named Shahameh among the aliens!
Shahameh has a strong body and seldom speaks. He knows a little bit of Chinese, but few people notice him.
The reason why Liang Chuan noticed that he was a small circle of them, they would do whatever they were asked to do, and the work would be done beautifully without any resentment.
Song Tiegen of the Tianxiong Army discovered this talent and immediately called Liang Chuan to take a look.
Liang Chuan has always wanted to manage this group of outsiders well. If he manages them well, it will be a boost, otherwise it will be a time bomb left by his side!
It has been proven since ancient times that using barbarians to control barbarians is the best way.
He couldn't tell what ethnic group Shahame was from, but according to him, their ancestors had been wandering, and he himself was caught by Abdullah and forced to become a slave!
As soon as Ah Shi died, the big stone on Sha Shi's head ceased to exist!
Liang Chuan will naturally not miss such talents. For him, Japanese people can never be trusted, but these outsiders can fight for it. If used well, they will definitely be a boost!
Liang Chuan generously gave Shahami the position of squad leader, and his subordinates were all his cronies!
This group of people had been suppressed by Abdullah's people before, but now they have become the masters. They want to use all their strength to get revenge!
This is human nature, but it is not so human when dealing with the enemies of the past!
They were more conscientious than full-time monitors. They held a whip in their hands and vividly showed the serf owner turning over!
Shahameh will not be merciful when managing this group of Middle Easterners, but how can other outsiders dare to complain? Slaves don't talk about human rights. Humanity is good. They looked at the superior Shah who turned over overnight. Haha, it’s like seeing a way out!
It's no use being slaves to anyone. The Han people treat them better. As long as they don't cause trouble and don't cause trouble, they eat and drink the same as their ordinary soldiers!
The small differential treatment quickly divided this group of outsiders. They worked harder than the Pu family's domestic slaves and were more attentive than the Japanese on the island!
Within a few days, order was established on the island.
At the top are Liang Chuan's own Tianxiong Army and Shenji Battalion, followed by this group of more than a thousand foreigners. In order to better manage this group of people, Su Wei has planned to hire a few teachers for them. They learn Chinese and it will be easier for them to communicate!
Next came the servants of the Pu family, who took away part of the hard work and gave most of the dirty work to the captured Japanese!
The Japanese are not worthy of being human beings on the island!
Although Su Wei didn't have that deep hatred for this group of people's committees, and he didn't understand why Liang Chuan was so wary of this group of Japanese people. He had mentioned many times that he wanted to give them Shahame-like treatment, but Liang Chuan vetoed it without even thinking about it!
The Japanese are a bunch of unfamiliar poisonous snakes and hungry wolves!
Give them strength and they will think of rebellion! Letting a few of them have enough to eat and go fishing is good enough for them, what else is there to be dissatisfied about?
Others don't know the virtues of the Japanese, but Liang Chuan doesn't know it either!
These monkeys are small in size but have a big heart!
Liang Chuan wants to use Sahamei just to guard against these beasts!
Half a month passed, and Si Fangxing had already reached the border of Lingnan. The road ahead was even more difficult, and there was probably still a long way to go.
From the time when Penghu was conquered to the management of this place, countless temporary wooden houses were built on the island, but all the few forests on the island were cut down!
Standing on the sea cliff, you can see the details of the entire island!
Only then did Liang Chuan realize the importance of security. Trees are not only resources but also protection. They are the natural protective barrier of Penghu Island!
When the iron smelting furnace is built, there will also be a mold factory for casting cannons. This is what Liang Chuan values the most.
Su Wei asked Liang Chuan more than once why he didn't wait to capture Yizhou before moving these to the island. After all, that was the place Liang Chuan valued most!
Liang Chuan immediately rejected it!
Although Yizhou is in a superior location, the situation on the island is unclear, and it will take years and months to defeat it. Penghu Island is small and easy to defend, and there are no worries from the locals. This is his ideal arsenal!
When the weapons factory is built, other supporting facilities will be built one after another. Liang Chuan directly designated the island as a no-logging zone with a wave of his hand!
There are not many trees on Penghu Island, and not a single tree can be cut down in the future. Liang Chuan even mobilized the Tianxiong Army to plant trees extensively. Trees are really useful. They can be cut down for firewood, and used to build ships and houses. , and it can also block summer typhoons. This is the most important resource to store!
