Lu Ming

In order to seal his wife and cute son in the future, he went to the army to join the army. Now he has shaved off his beard and revealed the young face of Chen Erdang, who is only 23 years old.

The next moment, both sides shouted loudly at the same time, exhaled and pushed the opponent away with their blades.After a short breath, the sharp light of the knife followed closely - after using their hind feet to support their retreat, the two stepped forward at the same time to fight their opponents.

"Shua, Shua, Shua" After a few more cuts, the paths of both sides have been revealed.Zheng Zhihu is tall and has long arms, and his sword skills are wide open and wide, and the sword does not leave the opponent's vitals.However, Chen Huoding had a short body with a short knife, and his feet were firmly nailed to the ground, motionless; the Tang knife in his hand was used fiercely and fiercely, and he did not lose the wind in the slightest.

One is the Nantian Juqing, a Fubo general who commands thousands of troops; the other is the all-powerful Green Forest, the reincarnation of a fierce star born with fierceness. Two of the best young warriors of the 17th century fought fiercely like this.

……

The sudden life-and-death fight quickly decided the outcome.

There is no such thing as fighting against Sanbaihe in the battle formation.Ten moves were too much in the scene of killing people with swords and knives, so Zheng Zhihu suddenly took a big step back after exchanging more than ten knives with Chen Huoding.

Zheng Zhihu was tall and long-legged, so taking a big step back was equivalent to leaving the ring.And Chen Huoding, who has always adhered to the principle of defense and counterattack, did not come to chase him at this moment—he needed to figure out the opponent's intentions first.

Zheng Zhihu, covered in blood, turned his head and glanced around.As expected, those soldiers wearing double-breasted jackets and daggers sticking out of the front of their guns had already surrounded him on the outside.And two giant men with bright and colorful bodies, six feet tall, holding bright silver short guns in both hands, looking at him coldly not far away.

Slowly raising the long knife in his hand, the young Zheng Zhihu found that the blade was covered with more than 10 gaps, so he looked up to the sky and laughed, and said to Chen Huoding: "Good knife!", then raised the knife again and rushed over.

Chen Huoding is naturally ready to fight.

The next moment, Zheng Zhihu, who rushed in front of the dwarf, suddenly slipped his foot, as if there was a flaw, revealing his left chest.

But Chen Huoding chopped it down without hesitation.

"Good friends, let's go on the road together!" Zheng Zhihu smiled at this moment, his arms shook, and taking advantage of his long arms and long arms, he came first and struck the opponent's left chest with Chen Huoding at the same time.

Chen Huoding, who staggered for a while, quickly stabilized his figure, while Zheng Zhihu was already lying in a pool of blood.

"What?" Zheng Zhihu asked.

"Soft hedgehog." Chen Huoding sighed.

"Good armor... This time it doesn't count, let's compare it in the next life." Zheng Zhihu swallowed his last breath after saying this.

Hula, before the second master could react, several of the cross-travelers who came to make soy sauce today rushed up to pat their heads, patted their shoulders, as if they were ugly fans: "I have gained knowledge, this is the real one." His fighting skills, Second Master, are so cool..."

And the "Destruction of the Earth can't stop me from taking selfies" party members holding their mobile phones, including the media person with a mini digital camera hanging around his neck, also shouted: "Zheng Zhihu, I took a picture, go back to the top of the forum!"

……

The thrilling episode has passed, just like fighting a boss in an online game. The traversers and their hard-trained army have gone through many tests and finally reached the final level.

At this time, more than ten traversers came out more and more, forming a semicircle in front of the cliff cave, one of them shouted: "Zheng Zhilong, is there any tricks to play?"

The next moment, a long sigh came from the cave: "Zheng is willing to come out and be captured without a fight. I only hope that before he dies, all the nobles can give Zheng a clear understanding."

After hearing these words, all the traversers looked at Commander-in-Chief Liu Zhe at the same time.

And Liu Zhe nodded slightly after looking around.

So the large army retreated a little under the gesture, leaving a space for Zheng Zhilong and the traverser to talk.

After finishing all this, Zheng Zhilong, who was slender, handsome and dressed in a blue robe, came out of the cave.

Chapter 215 Killing the King (Twelve)

At this moment, Zheng Zhilong has a peaceful face, calm eyes, and an air of calmness all over his body.If it weren't for the mud on the hem of his robe, probably no one would have noticed that this person was running for his life in a panic not long ago.

After walking to the entrance of the cave, Zheng Zhilong, who is only 24 years old and is still a small fresh meat in later generations, first stretched out his arms and made a long bow to the dozen or so people in front of him: "Zhi Long thank you nobles for clarifying the confusion."

After finally seeing this historical enemy who has been discussed and plotted countless times by everyone, to be honest, Liu Zhe and the others are still a little excited.So then Liu Zhe motioned for a time traveler with a DV around his neck to come forward and answer: He knew that most of the soldiers present were the type who were not good at speaking.

Yang Lei, before time-traveling, was doing publicity work in the community neighborhood committee in the street. He was good at civil affairs, photography, and publicity news reports. His exclusive skill was drawing blackboard newspapers. Now he is the general moderator of the time-traveling forum and the appointed president of the newspaper.

After taking a step forward, wearing a washed cloth jacket, Yang Lei, who is not tall, first smiled at Zheng Zhilong, and then stretched out three fingers: "Three questions and three answers."

Zheng Zhilong nodded slightly, and asked the first question loudly: "How did you track down Zheng?"

After Yang Lei heard this question, he first looked back at the soldiers behind him.When he was sure that the soldiers couldn't hear the conversation from the current distance, he turned around and replied, "The pocket watch on your body and the bronze Buddha on the ship have organs inside that can communicate your location."

After hearing Yang Lei's explanation, Zheng Zhilong first raised his eyebrows, then took out the cloisonne pocket watch in his arms and weighed it in the palm of his hand: "I knew that noble people are good at work, but unexpectedly they can make such a strange thing. I admire it."

Having said that, Zheng Zhilong shook his head and smiled wryly: "The old thief did a good job."

Everyone present knew that he was talking about Xiong Da... This is a bit embarrassing, because in essence the idea of ​​the pocket watch was given to Old Xiong by the time traveler.

After Zheng Zhilong complained, he quickly came back to his senses and asked the second question: "Where are you from? What is the purpose of coming to Daming?"

"These are two questions." Yang Lei smiled: "We come from 300 years later, and we are here to build a new empire and dominate the world."

"...Zheng is already a dying person, why bother to lie to me?" However, Zheng Zhilong, who showed disdain in front of his face, gradually realized that the expressions of these people opposite him did not seem to be fake, and couldn't help being dumbfounded: "Really?"

The next moment, the young man who reacted shook his head again: "It's Zhilong's appearance, and the matter has come to this point, why care about the truth?" Then he asked: "Since you are people who came after 300 years, how about today's trip?" There is probably a reason for chasing and killing Zheng, can you reveal some more secrets?"

"In words you can understand...you are our bitter hand, or in other words, doom. At this point in time, we must kill you."

When Yang Lei said this, he said seriously to Zheng Zhilong: "Originally, your recruiting was successful, and the Zheng family prospered. You dominated the southeast sea for 18 years and enjoyed a lot of wealth. But 18 years later, the Ming Dynasty fell, and you were so energetic at that time. Lost early, the hero was not around, so he succumbed to the Tartars, and finally ended up as a tycoon Ning Guta. Zheng Zhilong, you have six surnames in your life, you have great courage but no great wisdom.

After Yang Lei said this, he stopped talking and quietly stepped back.At the same time, the tall commander-in-chief Liu Zhe took a step forward and took out the M9 pistol from his waist.

At this moment, Zheng Zhilong has already fallen into confusion.He raised his head and muttered non-stop. No one knew what he was talking about—he kept this posture until the gunshot rang out.

……

The villain bosses finally let the opponent be a ghost this time, the process went smoothly, and they didn't encounter the bloody situation where the protagonist came back.

From the moment Zheng Zhilong fell down, Travelers has entered the fast lane of development.From now on, there will never be a person like me, Zheng, who can bring such great pressure to the people who travel through the world. This is the only one, and there is no semicolon.

A certain force that uses industrialization as its source of strength will soon grow at a speed that the natives cannot understand, smashing all obstacles and pressures from the front.By that time, the time-traveling crowd will no longer engage in such troublesome assassination operations—in a few years, these villain bosses will probably only say one sentence: Look, I haven't used my strength yet, and you will fall! down...

……

After Zheng Zhilong was killed, the mopping up work officially began.

The soldiers will then search carefully in the cliff bank area and kill all the fish that slip through the net.The bodies of Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhihu will also be buried in the ground after taking photos and archiving them.The coordinates of the unnamed cemetery are recorded: if one day the descendants of the Zheng family ask the new regime for the corpse, they will get this coordinate.

As for other finishing work, there is still a lot, at least for the rest of today's time.

First of all, the hundreds of corpses on the ground will be thrown into the sea after a simple search.Secondly, the two stranded Fuchuan also need to be dealt with.

One of the boats was severely damaged during the beaching and had no use value, so the traversing people decided to give up.So some of the valuable cargo on the ship was temporarily moved to the beach.

The other ship also unloaded the cargo first after simple repairs.When the tide was the highest the next morning, a motor sailing boat drove the two boats to the shallow water with steel cables in turn. One of them sank naturally, and the other was transferred by a small boat. The precious metals on the shore And the goods were eventually moved.

The next evening, the task force officially returned.

The operation lasted three days, and a total of 800 enemy troops including Zheng Zhilong were wiped out, and two blessing boats were captured, as well as a number of goods.While the traversing forces are training the army, the price they pay is not too much. The most precious thing is the copper-cased bullets that need to occupy the import quota.

……

Destruction of corpses and traces is an established step.

Because for Xiong Wencan and the people who traveled through time, the best ending for Zheng Zhilong's death is: there is no ending.If afterward Zheng Zhilong's death is revealed to be the work of the crossing fleet, and then the old bear abruptly appeases the crossing people... This is the 300 taels of no silver here.

Therefore, the task force must try not to leave any survivors during the operation, thereby delaying the spread of the truth.As for Xiamen, when Zheng's fleet sailed from Fuzhou under the watchful eyes of everyone, the spies from all walks of life would naturally pass the news back to their boss at the same time.

Therefore, it only takes about ten days for the pirate gang in Xiamen to realize that something is wrong, and in a few days, even if there is no definite news, someone will guess that something happened to Zheng Zhilong.

This is the effect of crossing the requirements of the public.

Don't go after how Zheng Zhilong died, everyone just needs to know that he died.Of course, those superficial brothers won’t be so bored to dig out the truth when they’re all parting ways, because there are more important things waiting for them: forming gangs, dividing up family property, fighting, fighting for the top spot...

Therefore, from the moment of Zheng Zhilong's death, until the time-traveling forces officially made their debut, and then organized troops to crusade against pirates, there was still a window of about 20 days: the black hands behind the scenes had to wait until Xiamen to start messing themselves up.At that time, even if the truth spreads, it doesn't matter, because the hot spot has already shifted, and today's headline is changed to Five Tigers will break up... As for Zheng Zhilong... Who is that?

At this point in the "Struggle" plan, the first two stages have been successfully completed, and the next stage will enter the final stage: strategic confrontation.

This kind of confrontation is long-term, because it will last until the "new guerrilla general" wipes out or annexes all the big and small pirates along the coast of Fujian, just like what Zheng Zhilong did in history.

……

Due to the addition of two Fuchuan in the team, the return speed of the task force dropped sharply.Finally, after deliberation, Liu Zhe decided that he would lead the two motor sailing boats, take most of the traversing people back to the voyage first, and slowly climb back the rest of the boats.

Another day later, two destroyers 301 and 302 sailed into the Dayuan channel in the evening.This time, there were a lot of people welcoming the brave warriors: almost all of the big office was dispatched, and even Chairman Cao, who lived in seclusion, went out in person, and had a few glasses of rice wine with Liu Zhe and the others at the celebration banquet.

At the same time, the old bear in Fuzhou also learned the news of Zheng Nun's leadership.

After Old Xiong got the news, although he was secretly happy, he was not easy to make public after all.However, there is a person who has low moral cultivation, is not strict with himself, and has a rough style, and doesn't care about this.who?Xu Xinsu Xu general.

Xu Ba always learned that Lao Zheng was dead at the same time as Lao Xiong.

Then Mr. Xu brought up the food and drink, and insisted on running to Song Jia's place not to get drunk: This guy was chased by Zheng Zhilong from Zhangzhou to Fuzhou, and it was a lie to say that he had no pressure in his heart.Now that the villain is dead, Xu Bazong can finally let go.

Of course, after the wine is over, things still need to be done.

Mr. Xu was able to talk with Lao Xiong for 3 minutes under the operation of Fuzhou station on the second day, and got an official promise of "promoting the general manager afterwards".After that, Mr. Xu got another promise from Song Jia: he will be the general agent for some good things in the kiln base in the future.

So Xu Bazong happily left.where to goCenter Left Institute.What are you going to do?When returning to the hometown... Mr. Xu returned to Xiamen this time, with a transmitter team by his side. After arriving in Xiamen, he not only had to deliver the news to the senior members in time, but also was responsible for pulling the heads of the chaotic pirate gang and fooling around. The small shopkeepers go to "abandon the dark and turn to the bright", and the workload is actually very heavy.

As for the senior officials, the tone has naturally been a little lower recently... Although the preparations for war have not stopped, usually people have to stop for a few days after doing bad things, and the crossing crowd is no exception.

Fortunately, in this vibrant city, there are no shortage of headlines now—on the third day after the task force’s return, a group of brief but epoch-making radio waves were sent from the primeval forest of Miaosu to the mainland. Clerk: Find oil.

Chapter 216 Treasure

On the same day that Zheng Zhilong entered Fuzhou City, the Yuandou, which departed from Dayuan Port again, also sailed out of the waterway, went north along the coastline, and headed straight for Miaosu.

The location of Miao Su is one-third of Taiwan, not far from Taipei.

Miaosu in the 17th century was a truly wild land: on this land between the mountains, except for the virgin forest, there were primitive savages without any trace of civilization.

The savages here are more "pure" than their distant relatives in Taipei and Tainan, because they have no contact with outsiders.Hokkien merchants would not come here. The terrain here is steep, with high mountains and dense forests. There is no sulfur, and there are no half-civilized natives to open the village gate to welcome them.

For tens of thousands of years, the Miaosu area surrounded by mountains, like the several coastal deltas in Taitung, belonged to forgotten corners.

In history, even after the Spaniards were driven out, the Dutch red hairs of the whole island still ignored this wild mountain; it was not until the middle of the Qing Dynasty that a small number of Han people in Miaosu entered here one after another.

Of course, the Dutch didn't know that there were treasures in the land of Miaosu.And it is precisely because of the existence of this dark and sticky treasure that the terrible traversers and their RPGs were attracted, and the Dutchmen who were guarding the trading house were blown up into the sky.

Now, Yuandou is finally going to enter Miaosu to find the origin of everything, and the fundamental driving force that makes the traveler to start Taiwan at all costs: oil.

……

The geographical location of Miaosu is very remote.

Starting from Tainan, along the coast of the inner island all the way to the north, between Taichung and Hsinchu, there is a big river: Houlongxi.

After entering Houlongxi, the direction of the boat sailed south instead.In other words, the sailing route of the Yuandou is in the shape of a "bu".The dot of divination is the winding Houlongxi, and Pan Mingzhong's destination, Miaosu, is at the end of the road.

The volume of rivers in the 17th century far exceeded that of later generations.You know, due to the industrialization of the cities along the way, even the Yellow River will stop flowing from time to time... The Yellow Dragon, which has ravaged the land of China for thousands of years, has been governed in this ridiculous way.

The water volume of Houlongxi is very abundant, and the average width is more than [-] meters.So when Pan Mingzhong and the others entered the estuary and turned on the gas engine, with the assistance of low-speed propellers, they easily started their exploration journey on the river.

Like all rivers in the 17th century, there are also many sandbars and rocks in the channel of Houlongxi.These positions will be recorded by the instruments on the Yuandou today, so that they can be cleaned up in the future.

Yuandou entered Houlongxi from west to east at the beginning, and passed some hills and small plains on both sides of the river along the way.These places were not pioneered by Hakkas until the Qing Dynasty. The main residents of the four coastal towns of Zhunan, Houlong, Tongxiao and Yuanli are ethnic groups who speak Taiwanese Hokkien.

After driving about 10 kilometers on the river, the Yuandou came to the first big bend of the river.The alluvial plain here is the location of Miaosu City in later generations, and it is also the largest plain along the Houlong River, although the area of ​​this land is actually very small, with a total area of ​​only 37 square kilometers.

The old name of Miaoli is Maoli, but it was not renamed until the Qing Dynasty.

Today, there is no sign of the Hakka people on both sides of the river, and dense camphor forests occupy every inch of land on the plains and hills.The Yuandou is slowly going up in the deep dark green mountains, with high mountains and dense forests on both sides, apes singing and deer singing, and it feels like entering the Little Three Gorges—this is where Miaosu is not welcomed by Fujian businessmen: even a little seaside beach, thatched grass There is no land but trees and trees.

After turning around the big bend in the river in Miaosu City, the course of the Yuandou became due south... It was like turning back, and beyond a mountain was the sea.

This distance is still 10 kilometers.

At this time, some people on the ship began to get excited: after turning another big bend ahead, when the ship resumed sailing from west to east, it was less than six kilometers forward, which was the first time in Chinese history. The original site where the oil field was discovered: Chusulphon Keng.

In the last year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty (1861), Qiu Gou, a resident of Chusulkeng in Miaoli County, first discovered an oil outcrop there. He dug a well with a depth of more than 3 meters by hand, with a daily oil output of 40kg, which was used to light lamps.

During the Japanese occupation period, the oil exploration team came here for actual investigation, and drilling began in Chusulkeng the following year.Two years later, Well No. 1876 was successfully drilled. From 1946 to 17, the cumulative production of oil was 5500 tons and natural gas was [-] million cubic meters.

In real history, even in the 21st century, oil and natural gas are still being produced here, and it is the oldest existing oil and gas field in the world.

It is also the most suitable for traveling through many oil and gas fields.

The Chusulkeng area belongs to the anticline structure geologically, the central part is the highest, and the two wings are inclined outwards, so the oil and gas are enclosed in the anticline structure.

The two wings of the anticline structure are composed of interbedded sandstone and shale of different hardness and softness. In addition, the terrain is relatively high, so the oil fields here at the beginning were dug with shovels by the natives, or wells drilled by the government officials of the Qing Dynasty. , the depth is about 100 meters.

Like a baby, it doesn't need to munch on meat at first: it has neither stomach nor teeth.With the current industrial capabilities, it is impossible to handle those high-yield oil wells with a depth of 2000 meters and violent eruptions of oil-such as the oil fields in the Gulf.

On the contrary, the oil field here in Miaosu is the most suitable: American technicians came here to drill wells in the third year of Guangxu. The shallow wells are only 120 meters deep and produce 950 liters of oil per day.This kind of shallow well, which does not require large-scale oil extraction machinery and has no eruption pressure, is the most needed oil well model at the kiln base at this stage.

……

After turning around the second bend in the river, the Yuandou moved forward for about 6 kilometers. According to the plan, the Yuandou found a small river bend near the place named Chusulkeng in later generations, and lowered the anchor chain.

Seeing the lush vegetation in front of the stream, and the densely packed forest in the distance, where the terrain cannot be seen at all, the three time travelers standing at the bow of the boat couldn't help but gasp.

You know, in the photos of Pan Mingzhong and the others, there is a special "oil town" on this river bank in later generations.

The facilities of CNPC (here CNPC is not CNPC) are quite complete: oil storage tanks, office buildings, homes, oil production facilities, oil well derricks, wires, poles, and the most important mountain road.
