Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 488
Chai Lin came over and said, "What are the two military advisers talking about here?"

"Ahem, we are saying that Fang La is probably powerless, and failure is just around the corner." Wu Yong said.

Chai Lin smiled and said: "This is not necessarily true. Fang La's army was insufficient in the early stage, and the territory was so large. Now that the entire line has been defeated, [-] troops have retreated to Qingxi County. This is Fang La's old nest. The right time, place and people are all occupied. In the short term There will be no danger inside."

Wu Yong shook his hand: "Otherwise, what my brother said is only half right. It is good that the reduction of troops is good for defense, but again, where does the money and food come from when there is no territory. With an army of [-] eyes open every day, it is [-] catties of food. Fang La goes Where to get it."

"The enemy of the enemy is a friend. Although I am not optimistic about Fang La, I don't want Gao Qi to win so soon. Once Gao Qi wins, our immigration plan will have to stop. Ryukyu Island is a good place and needs people. Plant rice for us. So Fang La can’t fail in the short term, at least not so quickly.” Chai Lin tapped on the map.

"Brother, do you mean to send troops?" Zhu Wu asked.

"The climate in the south of the Yangtze River is humid, and there are rivers everywhere. When we northern men arrive in the south of the Yangtze River, let alone fighting, they will be completely embarrassed just by being unaccustomed to the water and soil. Now we are training a Zhejiang army, which has just begun. But we raise Tens of millions of catties of rice are stored there on the Falkland Islands. The climate on the island is humid, so we need to find buyers and sell them as soon as possible.”

Wu Yong reminded: "This transaction is not safe. Fang Lajun has reached the end of his rope. Don't pay for it and eat for free. It will be ridiculous."

"For fear that his teeth are bad, Ma Bansong, a rich man in Hangzhou, contacted him to buy 1000 million catties of rice and transported it to Hangzhou Port for delivery. He has already paid [-] guan, and the final payment will be [-] guan. I will send the first fleet of ten ships The Fuchuan battleship is passing by, and I want to see who dares to eat for free."

Chai Lin stayed at home for two months. During this time, he practiced his internal skills hard, managed internal affairs, rectified law and order, taught farming and mulberry, and cared for his wife and children.

But I'm used to running around, and I feel tired staying at home, so I just went out for a walk this time.

Going to the south of the Yangtze River, although there is no war, there are also invisible swords and swords.

Chai Lin brought Zhu Wu, Dian Zhengnan, Xie Bao, Liu Zhuang, and twenty other elite soldiers.The party traveled from Cangzhou to Dinghai Port in a horse-drawn carriage for more than [-] days.

Zhu Wu seldom travels with Chai Lin on business, so he is flattered.

A group of people boarded the humpback whale and arrived at Yangma Island the next day.

The five warships of the First Fleet are practicing on the sea, the signal flag is signaled, and the battleships are in formation.

The huge Fuchuan can be regarded as a giant ship in this era, and each warship has more than [-] cannons.

The Humpback Whale arrived at the port of Yangma Island. After careful questioning, it turned out that Ruan Xiaoqi had set off with ten lucky boats yesterday.

"Their boats are slow, so don't worry. Let's set off at night to see how the horse farms are doing," Chailin said.

Everyone was very happy, especially Dian Zhengnan, who clapped his hands and said: "Okay, okay, just go to see my place."

In early summer, the potatoes in the dry land have been harvested, and the newly planted corn has just begun to sprout.The rice seedlings in the rice fields are green and green, the water is very clear, and the rice field fish swim back and forth.

There are many people with faces in the south of the Yangtze River managing the paddy fields.

The area of ​​paddy fields and dry land is not much, still hundreds of thousands of mu, which only occupies a small part of the northern part of Yangma Island.

The roads in the field are neat, and horse-drawn carriages can pass normally.The irrigation canal is connected to the drum car in the river, and the water flows into the canal continuously.In other places, water turbine pumps are used, which are more advanced and can lift water for more than ten meters, which is suitable for rivers with relatively large drops.

Dry land is dominated by potatoes, corn, and soybeans.

The paddy field is relatively simple, only rice is planted once a year, and then rape is planted.Rapeseed oil is supplied to canneries on the island or sold to the state capitals on Jingdong Road.

Most of them are the dense pastures in the south. Yangma Island has abundant rainfall and the grass grows very lush.More than [-] iron-hoofed horses are bred here, and the foals have been trained since they were one year old.

Both Wu Yong and Zhu Wu have presided over the work here, and the whole island is a treasure land.Tens of thousands of horses and mules are bred every year, providing a large number of military horses.

The food processing industry on the island is very developed now. There are almost ten canning factories, mainly processing canned shrimp, canned fish, and canned peaches produced in the mountains.

There are no problems in agriculture, but there are still problems in industry.The fire protection in the park is not good enough, and great efforts are needed to improve it. These businesses only think about making money, and ignore the health and safety of workers.It seems that the magistrate of Yangma Island needs to be taught a good lesson.

Zhu Wu said: "These merchants in the park basically came in through the relationship of my brother at that time, that is to say, they all have a good relationship with you. It is a bit embarrassing for him to let the magistrate of Yangma Island manage it. It is next to the port. Why not?" Placed under the management of the First Fleet."

Chailin shook his head: "That's even worse. The army must maintain its purity. Assisting the caravan is also carried out under the orders of the headquarters. Let's be an inspection team, like we did years ago. Immediately order rectification for these manufacturers, and after five days Review, if the rectification is not in place, close the door immediately."

"Okay, then come here."

Chai Lin and Zhu Wu led the team to inspect in person. Now these workshops have nothing to say, and they obediently accepted the order and started to rectify.The next step is to charge forward with the self-inspection system, and not allow these workshops to ignore safety and the lives of workers.Development is important, but security is equally important.

In the evening, Chai Lin and others boarded the Humpback Whale and continued to the port of Hangzhou.

Hangcheng Port was a very large foreign trade port in the Song Dynasty at that time. It was only because Fang La captured it some time ago. Later, the imperial army recovered Hangzhou, and Hangcheng Port improved slightly, but the merchant ships were much less than before. After all, although money Okay, but you also need to have life flowers.

Because no matter whether it is the imperial army or the Fang La army, they are not easy to provoke, and they will snatch all your things at every turn.

The Humpback Whale of Chailin is quite scary. Instead of mooring in the port, he found a secluded harbor and went ashore in a small boat, hiding the Humpback Whale on the seabed.

A group of people came ashore and came to the pier.

The lucky grain ship led by Ruan Xiaoqi has not arrived yet.

Chai Lin's current identity is the young shopkeeper of Cangzhou Daliang, and he is going to contact Ma Bansong, a local wealthy businessman in Hangzhou.

The group tidied up their clothes, hid their firecrackers, and went to the old Yuelai store in the east of Hangzhou City to inform Nama Bansong.

Xie Bao said, "This man's name is weird, Ma Bansong? What does it mean?"

　It's the last meeting tonight, if you have a monthly pass, it will be invalid tomorrow.
