The three princes worked together and hundreds of thousands of people worked together.
Materials from Dahua are continuously supplied to Jinlan City.
A medium-sized industrial city was built from scratch.
The three princes each performed their own duties, and each was responsible for one aspect of things.
The king of Fujian, Zhang Yuliang, was responsible for training the army. The army under his command was stronger and the officers were of higher quality.
The subordinates of King Zhang Yuliang of Fujian, together with the subordinates of King Jin and King Zheng, annihilated the indigenous people around Jinlan City.
In this way, an army stronger than the natives was trained.
Jin Wang Li Fengming was responsible for education and industrial development. He organized the men of the three princes to build a basic industrial and primary education system in Jinlan City from scratch.
Prince Zheng and Wang Zhongce were responsible for establishing the government system and selecting officials.
He established three relatively independent national governance systems in this small city with a population of more than 400,000.
The three princes agreed to go to the Jinlan City Steel Plant to celebrate the completion of the city's most basic industrial construction.
King Zheng's carriage was traveling on a muddy road, which was very crowded with pedestrians.
When King Zheng and Wang Zhongce saw this situation, he was not surprised.
The scale of Jinlan City is still too small. It is just a spark that brings Chinese civilization to all parts of Africa.
This city is a training place for new immigrants and will provide talents to various places in the future.
Cam Ranh City is not suitable for construction on a large scale.
What's more, the ownership of this city still has some mo lakes.
The King of Fujian Zhang Yuliang only invested some manpower, and most of the materials he brought were still left in the cargo ships at the port.
Neither he nor Jin Wang Li Fengming was willing to invest too much.
The construction of Jinlan City is so good that people don’t want to leave, which is also very troublesome.
Prince Zheng Wang Zhongce came to the steel factory, and Prince Jin Li Fengming was already waiting here.
Shortly after his arrival, the Fujian King Zhang Yuliang also came to the steel factory.
After Jin Wang Li Fengming saw their arrival, he turned around to greet them.
"Brother Wang, Brother Zhang. The first batch of pig iron we smelt here is about to come out."
Prince Zheng and Wang Zhongce knew the situation of the steel plant relatively well.
Zhang Yuliang, the king of Fujian, only paid attention occasionally. He heard that the steel plant produced pig iron instead of steel.
He asked doubtfully: "Why is it iron? This can only make flintlock guns and muzzle-loading cannons with a short range."
Jin Wang Li Fengming spread his hands and said helplessly: "There is really nothing we can do about this matter. Our prospecting team has already penetrated 50 kilometers outside Jinlan City.
Only some iron ores with low reserves have been found, but no coal mines have been found.
The time to go out for prospecting is too short, and the surrounding area is not safe, so we can only explore open-pit mines.
Without coking coal, iron could only be made with charcoal.
Flintlock muskets and muzzle-loading artillery are also excellent weapons here. "
When the King of Fujian Zhang Yuliang heard what the King of Jin Li Fengming said, he could only accept the status quo.
The main purpose of Jinlan Iron and Steel Plant is to cultivate talents.
In the future, if we have the talent and equipment, we can replicate this steel plant at any location.
The three princes watched the process of tapping iron from the steel-making furnace.
The red molten iron flows into the mold and turns into iron pillars and iron ingots.
The Three Kings visited other factories, which processed iron pillars into gun barrels and cannon barrels, forged iron blocks into various parts, and processed them into machinery.
The steam engines needed by the machinery factory could only be imported from Dahua because there was no qualified steel.
Zhang Yuliang, the king of Fujian, saw the newly assembled flintlock gun.
This was the first musket they assembled using African materials.
This gun is of great significance. It means that they no longer rely on Dahua and can produce a large number of weapons.
It is completely possible to issue a gun to every immigrant.
This means that as long as a village established by immigrants has one or two hundred young men with guns, it will not be afraid of the local indigenous tribes.
Zhang Yuliang, the king of Fujian, picked up the flintlock gun and said excitedly: "Good, very good.
Holding a musket in hand can strengthen the immigrants' confidence and make them unafraid of the natives here.
The army can only guarantee the elimination of large-scale indigenous tribes.
A small tribe with dozens or hundreds of people is not worthy of dispatching a large army, and must rely on the bravery of the immigrants themselves. "
Zhang Yuliang, the king of Fujian, remembered something important.
He asked: "Will we have guns without ammunition? The technology of black powder is simple, but it also requires materials such as saltpeter and sulfur.
I checked relevant information a few days ago and found that we have not discovered saltpeter and sulfur mines.
There is no way to produce black powder, and these flintlock guns are just fake. "
Prince Zheng and Wang Zhongce explained: "Africa is so big, there will be no shortage of various minerals.
However, no important minerals have been discovered around Jinlan City.
Our place is very close to the Governor's Palace of Nanyang.
There are many active volcanoes there, rich in sulfur.
We have purchased a large amount of sulfur and the nitrate is composted, which is enough for us. "
When the King of Fujian Zhang Yuliang learned about this situation, he decided that in addition to conquering Cairo in the future, it must be built in a resource-rich place.
Such important minerals depend on the outside world, and his country cannot go far.
The factories in Jinlan City can produce a large number of muskets and various mechanical agricultural tools.
The three princes began to guide the immigrants and accompanied the army to explore the surrounding area.
King Zheng and Wang Zhongce began to explore the Cam Ranh Peninsula and the southwest area of Cam Ranh City.
The king of Fujian Zhang Yuliang and the king of Jin Li Fengming joined forces and began to explore the Nile River Basin.
…………………………
A large river, slightly less direct than the Yangtze River, flows from south to north.
Zhang Jingfang looked at Bian Yuhe who was leading the team down the river.
They each led 50,000 people to leave Jinlan City.
They traveled through the tropical rainforest, directing slaves and immigrants to open a road to the north through the dense rainforest.
When you encounter mountains, you create mountains; when you encounter water, you build bridges.
Create a passable road in a deserted place.
Let Jinlan City's personnel and materials flow along this road.
They paid the price in thousands of lives.
Zhang Jingfang found the Nile River that Arab traders said.
He chose suitable places to build cities and villages on the upper reaches of the Nile River.
The process of cooperation between Zhang Jingfang and Bian Yuhe ends here.
Bian Yuhe continued to lead the team, taking a wooden boat they built nearby, and headed south to find a suitable place to build.
Zhang Jingfang learned from Bian Yuhe that the Fujian King Zhang Yuliang asked him to build a new city in the middle reaches of the Nile River.
Zhang Yuliang, the king of Fujian, wanted to use this city as a foundation to capture Cairo controlled by the Ottoman Turkish Empire.
Regarding this matter, Zhang Jingfang firmly supports it.
He was escorted by the army along the way and also encountered some large local indigenous tribes.
He could clearly see that there was a huge difference between the army under their command and the army under the King of Fujian.
The King of Fujian Zhang Yuliang fought with the Ottoman Turkish Empire, so that they could develop here safely without worrying about these two behemoths.
Zhang Jingfang came back to his senses and continued to look at the city that was gradually taking shape.
He led more than 5,000 immigrants and 20,000 slaves to build this city on the banks of the Nile.
The other immigrants he led were all scattered around the city, reclaiming their own land.
Zhang Jingfang chose to build it here because a variety of minerals were found around it.
There are also large coal and iron mines, copper mines and lead mines, which meet the completion requirements put forward by the King of Jin.
"Master Zhang, how long will it take for the doctor from Jinlan City to arrive?
Among the workers who fell ill, more than twenty people died.
We have nearly a thousand people infected.
Now the workers are panic-stricken. This way of death, before the city is built, our people will die cleanly. "
Zhang Jingfang saw that it was his subordinate Zhao Erniu.
He is responsible for managing logistics, and those who are sick are also under Zhao Erniu's care.
Zhang Jingfang saw Zhao Erniu's anxious look and asked, "I applied to Jinlan City for medicine last time.
Regardless of whether the disease is correct or not, first treat various drugs, such as penicillin, allicin, and artemisinin.
There are also various medicine kits shipped over to serve patients respectively.
We treat a dead horse as a live doctor. If we find a cure, we will make a profit. "
Along the way, Zhang Jingfang has become accustomed to life and death.
They opened a passable road in the African jungle.
When you encounter poisonous snakes and insects, if something you can see poisons you to death, then you are still dead.
Most people who suddenly develop a high fever or vomit will soon become ill.
Zhang Yuliang, the king of Fujian, has lived in Guangdong, Guangxi and Nanyang for a long time, and he has rich experience.
He asked people to carry a large amount of herbal tea. Drinking the herbal tea can not only dispel some miasma, but also prevent you from contracting some diseases by drinking raw water.
When Zhao Erniu heard Zhang Jingfang's words, he showed a bitter look.
“Master Zhang, when we were opening the road, someone had symptoms that were obviously malaria.
Everyone began to prevent mosquitoes and take artemisinin at the same time.
The drug artemisinin has saved many people’s lives, including mine.
The current disease is obviously not malaria, let alone a known disease mentioned in the manual.
I had the patient try various medications, but they had no effect at all. "
When Zhang Jingfang heard what Zhao Erniu said, he had no choice but to wait for the doctor to arrive earlier.
They originally had two doctors accompanying the team, but one died of a poisonous snake bite and the other died of a sudden illness.
Zhang Jingfang led officials to comfort the patient.
He saw the patient lying on the hospital bed, screaming.
Some grassroots officials had expressions of fear on their faces and wanted to return to Jinlan City.
Zhang Jingfang can only hope that the doctor will arrive as soon as possible, even if he cannot treat the patient, he can also calm other worries.
A simple crematorium where the bodies of patients are burned every day.
People who died of such a sudden illness must be cremated to prevent the spread of the plague.
Zhang Jingfang was waiting anxiously, and he finally got the good news.
Jin Wang Li Fengming sent Zhao Bingshu, a doctor from Wang's Hospital, to lead a team of eight doctors to this unbuilt city.
Zhang Jingfang personally led the team and went out of the city to meet doctors such as Zhao Bingshu.
He saw Dr. Zhao wearing a white coat and a mask.
"Dr. Zhao, we are finally waiting for your arrival."
Zhang Jingfang took Zhao Bingshu and his party to the area where the patient was.
After Zhao Bingshu saw the symptoms of the patients, he said firmly: "Some of these patients have cholera, and they must have been exposed to unhygienic water.
Not only drinking water, but also the water used to wash your face, hands and vegetables should be disinfected with chlorine as much as possible.
In the laboratory in Jinlan City, some scholars have already produced chlorine gas, and I carried a can in a steel cylinder.
From now on, the water sources in all major cities must be disinfected and used, so as to reduce the outbreak of cholera.
Dahua’s experience shows that cholera can be solved once tap water becomes available everywhere.
There are also other patients with high fever in Jinlan City.
It is a disease that occurs through mosquito bites.
Now I can only take fever-reducing medicine, and be sure to kill mosquitoes. "
Dr. Zhao Bingshu immediately led his apprentices to cook medicine and treat the patients.
He can only solve a small number of patients. Most patients do not know the cause of the disease and still have to rely on their own bodies to fight.
…………………………
Gan Dashi was on guard with a musket, and his brothers rushed towards the village carrying a large crocodile.
“Brother Dashi’s shooting skills are so accurate, his leg injury didn’t affect his accuracy, and he killed such a big crocodile with one shot.
I don’t know if these crocodile meat can be eaten. "
Gan Dashi did not look back and scolded: "Eat whatever you want, this big guy bit a slave in our village to death.
Even if you can eat human food, you can eat it. "
When the villagers heard this, they no longer offered to eat the crocodile.
“The environment here is too harsh. There are crocodiles in the river and venomous snakes in the woods.
To survive here, you will lose your life if you are not careful. "
Gan Dashi weighed the musket in his hand and said: "The King of Jin promised that all the reclaimed land will belong to us personally.
We all have a low life. In order for future generations to live a good life, we must cultivate more land. "
While they were talking, they had followed the path out of the forest.
There was originally a forest in front of them, but it was completely burned by a fire in their village.
The villagers dug out tree roots and cleared stones from the ground.
The trees and grass in the forest, and the ashes after burning, are the best fertilizers.
The villagers commanded the indigenous slaves to dig ditches and build ridges, turning the area into fertile fields.
Gan Dashi and others were greeted by the fierce barking of dogs in the village.
Gan Dashi looked at these dogs, smiled and cursed: "I'm still barking when I see you, I'll feed you crocodile meat soon."
He soon saw villagers patrolling the village.
"Dayong, haven't the village chief and the others come back yet?"
There was a shortage of manpower in the village. The King of Jin was building a city and did not allocate slaves to them.
The cassava and sweet potatoes planted in the village are about to be harvested, which requires a lot of labor, and they can only rely on the villagers to capture the surrounding indigenous people.
They must eliminate the surrounding natives, who often harass the village.
Taking advantage of the slack farming period, they found the aboriginal lair and wiped out the aborigines in one fell swoop.
Gan Dashi looked at the sweet potatoes and cassava growing extremely well. This was really a fertile and fertile land.
At present, there are no complete ditches in the village, so it is impossible to grow high-yielding food such as rice.
Just looking at the yields of sweet potatoes, cassava and vegetables, the fertility of this land shocked many experienced farmers.
It was getting dark, and the dogs in the village were barking.
Gan Dashi, who had just finished eating, rushed out of the room with a gun.
He saw the village chief leading the young men in the village and escorting more than 60 black indigenous people into the village.
With so many slaves, there is no need to worry about insufficient labor.
When the village chief saw Gan Dashi, he was far away and shouted: "Dashi, you are recuperating these days, and these people will be given to you for training.
Be sure to let them know who is the owner of this place. "
Gan Dashi walked over, saw these natives, smiled and said, "I have experience in dealing with these people."
He saw these natives and thought these people were stupid.
Guarding this rich land, they actually rely entirely on collecting to survive.
Giving this land to them would be a gift from nature.
