……

The military chiefs of Delong Wangshu got a little turtle this time, and went back to play with their new toys in despair.The original Italian cannon, the entire system weighed a full 5 tons, and a force that was extremely short of import quotas naturally did not need such a complete mechanism.

The first thing to be canceled is the heavy "X" type gun bed. According to the design, this gun is towed and maneuvered by a car. When it is in combat, it is like a tank in the interstellar. support.Now the cannon bed and the tires on the four corners are left in Africa: it is not necessary for the cross-travelers to maneuver, just hold the town house there.

The second thing to cancel is the heavy gun mantlet: if one day the red cannon on a certain sailing ship can fire iron balls from several kilometers away and threaten the fort... It is not too late to temporarily install self-produced iron plates.

The third cancellation is the motor assist system and radar fire control.The cool quadruple-mounted anti-aircraft guns in the movie would not appear in the 17th century, and the time travelers are very sure: their opponents will not have Zero Type.So, just use the manual wheel to adjust the muzzle parameters slowly. In addition, the electric shock is an evil way, and we don’t need it either. The pedal firing has passed the test of history and is stable. Just use it, don’t worry, there is plenty of time...

Imagine that it takes an hour for a sailing warship to travel from 4 kilometers away to the sea off Dayuan at a standard speed of 7 knots.At this time, the gunner went to take a nap, and within 2 minutes after getting up, he could lock the incoming ship.

Then fire the cannon and shoot it one, two or three times. If the sailboat is lucky enough not to sink or be burned through by the fire caused by the high-energy explosives, then it must be turning around with difficulty—when the tactical action is completed, the gunner has finished his coffee and draws a cigarette After going to WC, Yan returned to the artillery position, and the sailboat Chrysanthemum was targeted again...

Well, this is indeed the war of the 17th century, the pace is so slow, and the war is usually calculated in "months".

After all the weight reduction work was completed, the total weight of the core combat components left by the Italian artillery was only 1.6 tons, so the next morning, there was a roar on Dayuan Island, with the commercial hall as the center, and the surrounding areas were bombed regardless of land or sea. —The gunner began to measure the firing table.

Chapter 126 New Year's Meeting

The year 1628, which traveled through the plane, was destined not to be a peaceful year. The sound of artillery explosions resounding around the officials reminded people that war would come at any time.

Ignoring the noise outside the window, the big office is full of seats at the moment, and the first enlarged meeting of the time-traveling forces is being held in 1628.

The meeting was chaired by Xia Xianze.

The first topic of the meeting was to review the blueprints of the imperial city that will be constructed in the center of Dayuan Island.The drawings were provided by the designer Feng Guanjie. There were several rounds of drafts on the forum beforehand, and today is the day for the final draft.

Looking at the final rendering Feng Guanjie posted on the display board, most of the people in the room showed the disgusted expressions of seeing bumpkins.

"Isn't this still a two-and-a-half-story residential building?" Someone was immediately upset.

"Don't you just want Neuschwanstein Castle? Hold the grass, where are the materials? Where are the hands?" Feng Guanjie, who was already angry after being sprayed by people for the past few days, poked his finger on the glasses on the bridge of his nose in a fierce conditioned reflex He slammed back: "With this little resources, don't talk about enthronement, until the day when the capital is moved, your beloved Neuschwanstein Castle has not yet been built; when the time comes, the old men will all go to the other side to build a new landmark, this is the unfinished building One!"

...Shut up now.

Appearing on the renderings is a rectangular two-story residential building that is most familiar to everyone across the world. The roof is an all-through supermarket hall with two small circles. no personality...

"The soil quality is not good, so there is only one floor in the basement." Feng Guanjie calmed down a bit, holding a bamboo whip in his hand, and began to click on the blueprint: "The height of the basement is [-] meters. In the future, Mr. Cao's imported boxes , including all important imported materials, are sorted and stored in the basement."

"The first and second floors of the ground are brick-concrete office buildings, public offices, and public toilets. The windows are double-layered, with wooden boards on the outside and flat glass on the inside. We have to wait for our own glass kiln to be launched." Speaking of this, Feng Guanjie read Xia Xianze glanced at it, and then continued to introduce: "The third floor is the all-access business hall without pillars. In the future, the general meeting and enthronement ceremony will be held here."

Many people heard this and subconsciously looked at Chairman Cao who was sitting next to Xia Xianze and listening to the lecture with a smile.

Even though the issue of the future route on the forum is still in the debate stage, but before that, the constitutional monarchy is the consensus reached by all factions; so the government building that was planned at the beginning has been renamed the Imperial City... "This will be The emperor is here!" The middle-aged men in the room who were born under the red flag have mixed feelings when they see the chairman recently.

"The technological content of the hall is relatively high." Feng Guanjie didn't have the time to pay attention to the expressions of the building blind, and continued to say: "The reinforced concrete hall has a glass curtain wall outside. Since there are no columns and partition walls, then Curry The round steel bars in reserve need to be used with soil cement to pour the roof. In addition, the floor-standing tempered glass wall and some aluminum accessories are not in stock, and a box of quota is needed. This..."

Having said that, Feng Guanjie stopped talking and looked at Xia Xianze and Cao Chuan.

"Is one box enough? Don't increase the budget after half of the work!" Mr. Xia seems to have been entrapped by these gangs of construction when he was in the real estate business, and now he has lingering fears.

"Absolutely enough!" Feng Guanjie habitually showed a low tone to increase his sense of honesty: "Toughened glass with a thickness of 2 cm, 50 pieces are piled up, and the height is less than 1 meter. This includes the future loss. The size of the glass is It is customized according to the specifications of the transmission space, a square block with a side length of 2.8 meters, the remaining space is for spare parts, and there is still a little space to get some spotlights, and when the lights are turned on at night, the effect will be just right!"

Xia Xianze turned his head and whispered something to Cao Chuan. Probably someone Cao had realized that he would ascend the throne there in the future. It seemed that this supermarket was his Ceremony Hall in Buckingham Palace, so he nodded slightly. Xia Xianze glanced over and saw No one objected, so he nodded, and the quota for a box was set out like this.

……

The "Imperial City" drawing is finalized, and the next project is Taijiang Shipyard.

There were no voices of opposition in the shipyard itself, mainly because there were a lot of arguments about supporting facilities: there was no shortage of wood, and the industrial system that could pass through the crowd had now encountered the first difficulty: iron.

Resources are limited. Whether to invest the resources at hand in the mining of iron sand mines in Taipei, or in the acquisition of pig iron in Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangdong. At present, there are supporters for both of these plans, just like the later generations who say that "it is better to buy than to build." ’, this matter is also under discussion.

In Taipei in the 17th century, there were natural iron sand mines. Although the total amount was not large, it was enough for the crossing forces to survive the initial stage.However, going to the Kaifen base in Taipei right now, the transportation lines through the public will face huge military risks: including the Spaniards entrenched in Taipei, including the Fujian immigrants entrenched in the Bengang area in central Taiwan, these people are Zheng Zhilong's subjects.

If we want to develop the iron ore and sulfur in Taipei safely, we must first drive away the Spaniards and occupy the stupid port—all the efforts of the crossing people are now focused on basic industries, and there are no extra resources at all. Pie faces fight.

Therefore, for the time being, the purchase of Ming people's pig iron from the three provinces of Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangdong has become the second topic decided at today's meeting.This plan also derived two other decisions: importing small electric furnaces in the kiln area, and digging cable trenches between the kiln area and Chikan New District.

Needless to say, a small electric stove is a must.However, it is necessary to import nearly 3 kilometers of cables and power accessories, just for the people of Chikan to use electric lights and shipyards to use chainsaws. This non-essential project was strongly blocked at the conference today: Think about how African people still eat grass, Are you going to go upstairs and downstairs with lights and telephones? ——In the end, this plan was castrated: dig the trench first, and when the copper in the book is enough, we can produce our own wires...

After the two topics quarreled, it was already past meal time, and the gentlemen hadtily finished their work meal, and began to worry about the natives again.

He said he was worrying about the natives, but he actually wanted to do the natives a favor.

Like any other problem encountered, whenever people want to do something, they always find that there are many preconditions that must be met first...

saltworks.

The Jianan Plain is one of the most suitable regions for drying salt in China: the terrain is flat and sunny, the annual rainfall is concentrated in summer, and the seawater is highly salty.

Historically, salt has been sun-dried here for more than 300 years, and gold medal salt farms such as Budai and Qigu have an annual output of more than 10 tons.

Traveling through the crowd naturally also has to dry the salt, how do you say that?There is no salt in time travel, but salt is sprinkled on chrysanthemums.

Salt is an important commodity, especially in some salt-deficient provinces in Daming, such as Fujian across the sea; salt is also an important chemical raw material, and the kiln base will install equipment for salt in the next step.

Travelers don’t need to go to the Chigu area more than 10 kilometers away to the north to dry salt, the entire coastal area of ​​Tainan can be used.However, considering Xingang Creek, which has become the sewage discharge channel of the industrial base, it is better for the future saltworks to go a little north, cross the Xingang Creek, and choose a site between Zengwen Creek and Xingang Creek.

However, in this way, the salt field is facing a real threat: the north of Xingang River is the territory of Madou Society and Xiaolong Society, and the alliance of these two indigenous villages has not surrendered to the crossing forces so far.

Chapter 127 Disobedience to Wang Hua

Drying salt requires a lot of space.The historically famous Tainan Chigu Saltworks covered an area of ​​2700 hectares in its heyday.

Therefore, there are no cross-travelers, and it is impossible to send a large army to protect the saltworks. The harassment method of the natives wandering over to hunt for heads is the most troublesome situation for elite defenders with few manpower and strong firepower.

The most hope of the crossing forces is that the opponents will come in full force. Even if Zheng Zhilong's entire army is killed tomorrow, then the ammunition reserves here can be used to destroy the imperial food, achieve a great reputation and three years of peace.

However, the natives can't do this. The natives are playing harassment, which is disgusting.The Madou and Xiaolong communities north of Xingang Creek, poverty limited the imagination of their leaders, so far they have not come to Dayuan Island to pay homage to the Lord of Shangguo.Whether it was to ask the people of the Xingang Society to pass on the message, or to tell the younger brother who came to sell the buckskin to go back to bring the message, all of them fell to the ground. This is called strategic death, and the hostility is already obvious.

Since you can't defend it, you can only attack it.

I didn't do it before because the development schedule north of Xingang Creek has not yet been put on the agenda.In addition, unlike in history, neither the Chikan New District nor the industrial base in the Kiln District was harassed by local natives during the construction. When Chikan was building the city, Dutch soldiers kept watch at night.

This created an illusion for the people who traveled through: the natives understand the importance and can reason.

In the end, after being slapped in the face by the Madou locals, I realized that my way of reasoning was probably wrong, and the old way of speaking worked...

Today's meeting is to end the discussion and directly decide whether to fight or not.As for how to fight, Han Xiaobo, who was appointed as the "Commander-in-Chief of the Suppression in Tainan Area" on the spot, came up with a plan that had already been prepared.

The crossovers are different from the colonists.The colonists came to plunder, so they had no scruples. If they couldn't stand their ground, they would leave and return home.

And there is no country to return to across the land, and to a certain extent, they can't afford to lose.Therefore, Hangzhou is their homeland, and the senior officials are also their homeland now. An industrial civilization that wants to take root here must have a different way of doing things from the Dutch.

The way the Dutch ruled Taiwan in history was the standard three-light policy: Whenever they accumulated troops and resources, Hongmao would summon the indigenous vassals of the Xingang Society to serve as auxiliary soldiers and guides, and then dispatched more than [-] soldiers at a time. Burn and kill the target tribe to create a deterrent effect.

During this process, the Dutch actually didn't care whether the opponent resisted or not: most of the time, by the time the Dutch-Turkish coalition forces arrived, the local natives had already run away.However, if you run away from the monks, you can't run away from the temple. The natives on the island are half fishing and half farming, not nomads. Villages, food, grain fields and other properties don't have long legs.

The Madou people in history have voted for the Dutch.

On June 1629, 6, the Madou people sent their backpacks and muskets across the river first, and then crossed the river with the red-haired master on their backs. They drowned 13 people in the Madou River at one time. A Dutch soldier who came to fight the autumn wind, including a low-level businessman and a commander.

In real history, after the Dutch solved a series of external troubles such as Hamada Yahei, six years had passed by the time they were free to take revenge.

In November 1635, Putmans, the fourth chief of the Dayuan, led 11 soldiers, plus nearly 475 auxiliary soldiers from Xingang and Omekosha, and launched a three-light assault on the Madou area.

All the aborigines I saw were not left behind, all children, women and the elderly were killed, and 3000 aboriginal houses were burned down.

On the first day of the war, the Madou people resisted. However, when a tribe of 3000 people was killed with 260 young warriors, the tribe collapsed.

A month later, the Madou people who fled into the mountains couldn't bear it anymore, and they all came out to surrender, presenting betel nuts and saplings to express their surrender... The mountain is not so easy to mix, not to mention that there is no food, and the Gaoshan people will not kill refugees. Keep your hands.

This is how the Dutch reason.Starting from the recent Xingang Society, almost all aboriginal tribes have suffered from the red hair’s three-light policy: large troops came, the aboriginals ran away, burned houses and grain fields, aboriginals surrendered, and nearby tribes quickly surrendered when they saw the tragedy— — This has become standard procedure, different indigenous tribes, each time choose the same response, the Dutch have never tired of playing the same trick.

……

The governance method of killing but not burying is not what a certain force that claims to be tall and powerful wants.

To tell the truth, a certain evil force is actually willing to take care of the life of the aborigines from birth, old age, sickness and death, and the civil affairs are also fat!The three-plywood box dares to pretend to be ebony and sell it for 2000 if it is painted with black paint, but the actual conditions do not allow it.

The first is that the number of immigrants used to assimilate the natives is not enough.

Be it the beggars or refugees in Hangzhou, the comrades at the local Hangzhou station cannot drive these people to Moyun Temple like a herd of cattle. This is a secret process of transportation.

The fleet is also very difficult: there are already three fleets running on the Taiwan-Zhejiang route. Whether it is equipment or the leading ship that is the backbone of the crossing crew, it has been stretched to the limit.

The cargo handling capacity at Tangzhuang is also tight, especially the grain - the big officials can't produce their own grain now, and there is also a process of buying grain at Hangzhou Station. If it is too crazy, it will definitely attract the government and big grain merchants. Note that behind the big grain merchants, there is no doubt that there are big gentry, and the smaller ones generally cannot get involved in the grain business.

All of this limited the number of Ming laborers who came to Dayuan. As of the New Year of 1628, after 2 months of crossing over and occupying Dayuan, 2100 Ming people had immigrated, 150 tons of rice reserves, and a number of other miscellaneous goods; The speed is due to a lot of preparatory work in the early stage, otherwise the current situation would not be possible at all.

Originally, it was planned to leave the "diluted quota" to the members of the Xingang Society.The newly opened Chikan Primary School has accepted 10 Xingang boarding primary school students, and there are also 5 small indigenous families of three members specially selected by the cross-travelers. They are all placed in the school district room next to the primary school.The cross-travelers are ready to act as an example to enlighten the natives, let the natives feel the beauty of the new life, and then gently use the population advantage to slowly digest the Xingang people.

Now the process is abruptly interrupted.

Because Madou and Xiaolong refused to accept Wanghua, the war was imminent, so the planned "slowly digesting the natives model" has become a tough "one pot with raw rice digestion model". This method is very laborious and has a bad appetite. If so, easy indigestion.But at the moment, the arrow is on the string, and we have to send it. We can only take one step at a time.

Everything went back to the original point: if you want to develop the north bank of Xingang Creek, you must first deal with the natives, and if you want to deal with the natives, you have to be blackmailed by the military leader—the drone.The newly opened Zong Zong immediately put the drone that he had missed for a long time on the list of military supplies.

Chapter 128 Newly Possessed

The drones needed by the military will naturally not be a civilian brand like DJI.

DJI's best model, the remote control distance is 7 kilometers, and the time in the air is half an hour.This performance is enough in the civilian field. You can find all the big-breasted girls on the beach in half an hour, and then hover in high-definition for a round of shooting; the remote control distance of 7 kilometers can guarantee that you will not be able to find you when you are running after shooting.

However, what is needed by the public is a military drone with a detection radius of 200 kilometers, a stay in the air for more than 3 hours, and a military drone that can accurately take pictures with synthetic aperture radar at an altitude of 3000 meters.

This kind of fixed-wing medium-sized UAV with a fuselage of at least 2 meters, and a folding civilian model as big as a basketball are completely two concepts.

According to the performance requirements given by Commander-in-Chief Han Xiaobo: UAVs that take off from Dayuan Island must be able to go out to the center line of the strait in the future, at least on the front line of the Penghu Islands. After completing the task of detecting the enemy's incoming fleet , and then return to the voyage smoothly, in order to meet the requirements.

As for the investigation of the natives of Madou Society 30 miles away, this is all incidental, trivial, wet and broken, not worth mentioning at all.

……

Just when Xia Xianze was about to ask the army leaders who were taking advantage of the fire, how much import quota for drones they needed, Cao Dong smiled and waved his hand: "Don't ask, one box is not enough, it takes one and a half boxes."

Cao Chuan didn't understand reinforced concrete, it was because this kind of cargo would not affect his safety.But the weapons and ammunition that are likely to attract the attention of some powerful departments, if he hasn't figured out the situation for so long, he will be finished.

"The only thing I can buy safely is the castrated version. It should not be able to run away from rabbits or Israeli export models. This weak chicken version cannot be used to fight against big hooligans, because it has no electronic countermeasures and anti-electromagnetic interference capabilities. The body structure It is also death-limited and cannot be used to modify weapon systems."

"But just right." Cao Chuan shook his head mockingly at this point: "Zheng Zhilong also doesn't understand electromagnetic interference."

"Well, two sets of fuselages are shared by the army and the navy, one set of electronic antenna, one set of data link transceiver system, some spare batteries, and installation tools... well, one and a half boxes is about the same." Cao Chuan was a little Schadenfreude: "I still need a smooth dirt road, 300 meters, try to be as loose as possible."

"Hiss..." Xia Xianze's teeth became sore after hearing these conditions.Glaring at the innocent-looking soldiers, he said angrily, "If you have any objections, please raise them quickly. After passing this village, there will be no such shop."

……

The extended meeting of the 1628 New Year, which lasted for a whole day, finally came to an end when the branches of the moon rose.

Start the construction of the imperial city, start the construction of the shipyard, and start preparing to clear the countryside. These three projects will swallow up all the manpower and materials in the future.

However these are required.When the power develops to a certain stage, it will inevitably expand. In the future, whether it is drying salt or reclaiming farmland, the crossing people can no longer rely on a few AKs to control the field, so large-scale rural clearing is imperative.

The shipyard and the imperial city are both projects that have to be started. One is urgently needed, and the other is politically required. There is no choice at all.

……

On the third day after the New Year's meeting, a large indigenous delegation from Xingang Society came to Chikan New District.There are more than 150 people in the delegation, regardless of men and women, all wearing homespun jackets, capri pants, and straw sandals.

As the earliest indigenous tribes who surrendered to the time-traveling forces, the people of Xingang and Damujiang have gone farther and farther on the road of civilization and assimilation, and have become a test model for the people of the time-traveling to transform the indigenous people: the new vassals.

Twenty-four years ago, Confucian scholar Chen Di was stranded in Taiwan for a year due to a typhoon. After returning to his hometown in Fujian, he wrote the first written material in history, which records the life of the aboriginals in the Tainan Plain in detail: "Dong Fan Ji".

"No clothes in winter and summer, women wear grass skirts to cover their lower body slightly." This sentence needs no explanation, everyone understands it.

"Zhang, the benefit of the spring... I like to hide the old clothes I left behind, or see the Chinese wear them, take them off again, and hide them when I get the cloth." What does this sentence mean: Old clothes left by Fujian businessmen , was collected by the natives happily, and only worn when meeting each other, and the cloth obtained from the trade was also stored.

...You see, the natives also have the concept of shame, but their poor life limits their efforts to cover their testicles.

Since taking refuge in the newly arrived yellow race forces of the Dayuan, the new subjects of the Xingang Society and the Damujiang Society have ushered in a completely different way of ruling from the Dutch.

The first is policy support: Compared with other tribes, they can get more things with the same buckskin, especially the ready-made clothes - the moon-white ready-made clothes of the Moyunguan brand.On this basis, the new vassals experienced another fierce policy: "fa".

send what?Straw sandals, capri pants, bath tickets, haircut tickets...

In short, all the goods and services that can change the image of a savage have been distributed for two rounds, and the comrades experienced the superiority of the socialist big family for the first time in confusion and happiness.

Next, it's time to experience the cruelty of a big family. Are the things of the gentlemen so easy to get? ——Anyone who continues to expose their eggs to the sky will be admonished once, and will be kidnapped and thrown to the overseer in the logging area the second time. After three months, see if you still like naked birds!

It didn't take long, under the promotion of this kind of carrot and stick, half administrative and half encouragement, the people in the newly attached villages were forced to accept everything that was imposed on them in a mixture of joy and helplessness: they learned how to live in daily life. Dressed and went out, learned to go to the bathhouse in the kiln area to take a bath, and learned to cut my hair.

Most importantly, they learned to sell their labor for everything they wanted.

When the new appendages were expropriated from the construction site of the kiln area at the beginning, they were also very reluctant.But there is no way, since the tribe has expressed surrender, it is the same price that must be paid when the Dutch were forced to do labor.

Things quickly became complicated: because every 7 days, those who went to work on the construction site, after eating and drinking enough, could carry some groceries back home after get off work.

Salt in a thin bamboo tube, a few pairs of straw sandals, a beautiful indigo suit, an even more beautiful red-glazed flower-patterned bowl...

Many soldiers looked jealous, and then joined the labor team on the construction site—anyway, since the day when the kiln area base spewed billowing black smoke, the powerful tribes on the north bank of the Xingang River have never come to hunt for heads—the new appendages suddenly It is found that the biggest security problem that has plagued the tribe for thousands of years has disappeared unconsciously.
