"The tents are given priority to women. They are weak and cannot bear the cold outside. Don't worry that the wind and cold will affect tomorrow's work. In addition, the injured brothers should also be placed in them. They need a good rest more than us. As for the others, People, just stay with me for the night by the fire. When more tents are set up tomorrow, we can all move in and have a good rest..." Beside the largest bonfire in the center of the temporary camp, people who had just had dinner Kang Lin was listening carefully to the outpost team's report on the investigation results obtained during the day. Beside him, there were Yan Si, Fan Huzi, Yan Xiaosong, Chang Jiansheng, Zheng Nansheng, Wang Tang and other close officers. They were taking advantage of the opportunity to sleep after dinner. Hold a short meeting in the free time beforehand to summarize the progress of the project that day and discuss various matters that need to be done tomorrow.
"Big Chief, the construction of the temporary trestle has been roughly completed today, and the base of the camp will be leveled in another day. I would like to ask the Chief to tell me what to do next!" According to the usual practice, after Chief Kang Lin finished speaking, it was time for the boat to Liu Laoliu, the general manager of the fleet, spoke next, but at this moment, the old man was seriously injured and lying on the bed unconscious. He could not come out to manage the affairs. Therefore, the reporting work was done by Yan Si, the painting officer of the fleet. .
"Tomorrow, Yan Zanhua, you will command the staff to continue cutting down the trees around the camp and further leveling the land so that the land available to us will be thirty feet long and thirty feet wide. Commander Zheng, you will lead our soldiers to continue building a watchtower. Before dark, you must build all the remaining three watchtowers around the camp; Captain Wang, you lead your brother No. 1A to continue to urge the prisoners to cut wood and strengthen the trestle. If you have free time, you must also find time to build some beside the trestle. Wooden bunker, yes, it is the kind of bunker we built on Hongguo Island to place artillery! Remember, you have to move the 5-pound iron cannon from the flagship after you are done. The other cannons are too small and are useless. Use..." After lowering his head and thinking for a moment, Kang Lin made a rough arrangement for the work that the fleet will do in the next few days based on the current project progress: leveling the land, building watchtowers, reinforcing trestles, and building forts. In addition to Gu Wenlai, Lin Wu, Liu Xiong and others who were on duty on the ship, Chiyang's top management basically all had their own responsibilities, but there was not one person among them, a confidant general who led the entire infantry for Kang Lin. , Fan Jingfan beard! This made Captain Fan very surprised and unhappy. You must know that he was one or two people in the Chiyang fleet, but more than dozens or hundreds of people. In the past, everything the leader did could not be done without him. Help, how could everyone have work to do, so just leave him alone and ignore him. However, just when he was about to step forward to ask what the reason was, the big leader Kang Lin gave him the answer he wanted in a timely manner.
"Guan Fan, you lead ten specially recruited soldiers and supervise twenty selected farmers and soldiers from the guard station to continue training on the beach, physical fitness, formation, shooting, and stabbing. I don't care how you train them. In a word, , I want to see a well-trained and disciplined Marine Corps in a month..."
"But, leader..." From building the camp to training the soldiers, Fan Huzi obviously failed to keep up with the leaping thinking of his leader. But when he figured it out, a difficult task fell heavily on his shoulders. ! Then, without waiting for him to raise any objections, Conlin turned the conversation to other aspects.
"Everyone, everyone should know about the injury of the General Manager. Medical Officer Lei has told me several times before that he wants me to take him to the mainland to seek treatment from famous doctors, and I think now is the time to do this! However, the fleet cannot be left unattended. After all, the construction of the camp and the repair of the ships also need to be presided over by someone. Therefore, I decided to set up a stay-at-home committee to preside over the various tasks of the stay-at-home during my absence. I will announce it now. Let’s take a look at the list of left-behind committee members, Yan Si!” Without consulting other people’s opinions, in order to treat the seriously injured Liu Laoliu as soon as possible, Kang Lin rarely used the arbitrary power of his leader Gan Gang and announced the final order to travel! Unsurprisingly, the chief member of the left-behind committee he proposed was Yan Si, a very capable and loyal former officer of the Ming Army. With this person in charge of the stay-at-home affairs on Shaihuo Island, Kang Lin did not need to I was worried that when I came back from the mainland, some bad changes would happen to the entire fleet and the entire camp. Of course, in order to prevent Mr. Zan Hua from being overtired, the leader of Kangda also thoughtfully assigned him two assistants: the fleet logistics officer, who is suitable for writing on the mobile phone; Jiansheng. With the help of these two intellectuals, the leader of Kangda University will not worry about any changes in the situation that are not beneficial to him!
In the same way, Fan Huzi, who is in charge of the military, is also honored to have several assistants to assist him, "General Manager Gu, General Manager Lin, and Commander Wang, the three of you must work together with Team Fan to jointly defend the camp and defend against pirates and invaders. People are coming..."
"Then chief, how many people and how many ships do you plan to take to the mainland?" Seeing that Kang Lin had made up his mind, everyone could no longer persuade him, so they had no choice but to accept his new job and quietly retreat to the side to wait for his next step. . Only the chief committee member Yan Si stepped forward to ask how many people and ships his leader would need to take with him on this trip, so that he could order Yan Xiaosong and Chang Jiansheng, the two logistics managers, to prepare for him so that he could make the trip as soon as possible.
"It doesn't take much. Just let Captain Zheng Nansheng take a brother from A to accompany me on the five-hundred-stone sand boat..." Without any hesitation, Kang Lin immediately ordered "Zheng Yanwang" after hearing this. This time he landed on Ming's land, risks and opportunities coexisted. He needed a subordinate who was flexible and capable of carrying and fighting. But the few people who met this condition had their own things to do. Therefore, he only needed I can choose Zheng Nansheng, who seems to be less important, to go to the mainland with me. Anyway, there are two sentry commanders under Fan Huzi's command. Without Zheng Nansheng, others can take over. It's just a little more effort, and it doesn't affect the overall situation at all!
"Chief, would you like to bring a few more people?" Upon hearing that Kang Lin only brought more than ten people to the mainland, Yan Si, a caring Douban, immediately became anxious. In his opinion, the coastal state capitals of the Ming Dynasty at this time were no different from the dragon's pond and the tiger's den. It was really dangerous. If his leader only dared to go in with a dozen people, he would be sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth. Don't let Liu Laoliu fail to save him by the time and end up getting himself in instead.
"No, this time we went to the mainland just to find famous doctors to treat Uncle Six, and we were not going to fight the Ming Dynasty. What's the use of bringing more troops? We might as well bring more jades, antiques, silks, oil lamps, Japanese figurines, and swords. Let’s see if we can find someone to sell on the mainland and buy some supplies that the fleet urgently needs. By the way, Yan Si Li, Chang Li Yuan, you two are the logistics managers of my Chiyang fleet. You should know that our fleet Is there something urgently needed right now?" Shaking his head, Kanglin ignored the suggestion of his confidants and still insisted on taking less people to the mainland. In his opinion, facing the vast territory and powerful Ming Dynasty, he would take ten people there by himself. It's not much different from taking a hundred people. If the Ming Dynasty, which has millions of troops, really wants to kill itself, it will be of no use even if it takes all the belongings. It is better to leave the cargo hold empty and load more Cargo, see if we can barter and transport back the supplies that are urgently needed for the development of the fleet.
"Chief, our Chiyang fleet is short of food, farm tools, tools, lead and iron, ships, and even people..." Seeing Kang Lin asking questions, Yan Xiaosong hurriedly opened the notebook he carried with him and read each item. Go, and the result was quickly obtained, "We are in need of skilled craftsmen, chief. It would be great if you could exchange for enough food, farm tools, tools, lead and iron materials, ships, and even craftsmen..."
"Okay, I've made a note of it. Once Uncle Six is healed, I'll go find a place to ship goods and bring back the supplies needed by the fleet." Kang Lin looked up at the night and found that it was already getting late, so he used One sentence ended today’s meeting. After that, everyone dispersed, leaving only Yan Xiaosong and Chang Jiansheng. They organized efforts to transport goods to the ship overnight. They did not return to the camp to rest until the cabin of the sand ship was completely filled with logistics personnel.
Simple trestle, watchtower, camp, prisoner camp... After finishing the meeting, Kang Lin had to get up early to travel tomorrow. Surrounded by a group of personal guards, he still patrolled the camp carefully, and did not return to himself until about nine o'clock in the evening. Rest in the sleeping tent. There, Xiao'e, who was wearing a round-collared light blue trousers, had been waiting for a long time. The tea on the table and the wooden barrel on the ground were still steaming. This made Kang Lin feel refreshed, and the guards behind him Seeing this, he stepped back knowingly. For a while, Kang Lin and Xiao'e were the only two people left in the huge sleeping tent.
"Master, why did you come back today? What's the matter?" Xiao'e, who was shaking a small flower fan in her hand, saw her master coming back, so she didn't care about imitating a lady from a gentleman family, and immediately stood up to replace Kang Lin. He took the waist knife and short blunderbuss, led him to sit on the Taishi chair, then bent his waist, raised his bare hands, and took off his sweaty fast boots! Finally, the little girl gently put her master's big, smelly feet into the warm water and scrubbed them carefully.
"Hiss!" Feeling the comfort of the hot water on his feet, Kang Lin couldn't help but hum. Then he felt a pair of small hands touching his big feet, kneading and massaging them. The movements were unusually gentle. , as if he was afraid that if he exerted force, his big feet would be pinched and hurt, which made Kang Lin's whole body's blood rush to his forehead unconsciously, and he accidentally pulled the owner of the small hands into his arms.
"Master!" He could clearly feel the delicate body of the person in his arms trembling. Kang Lin couldn't help but stop what he was doing and cursed himself as a beast! What happened to me, first the Liu family of Yang Qihun's family, and now the maid Xiao'e, has my willpower suddenly become so low, or has the long-term depression caused me to subconsciously want to find a woman to vent my anger? Much energy...
