Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 731

"Speak slowly, don't worry!" Zheng Yiguan looked at these people and said.

The eight people in the study were the engineering staff that Zhao Wen assigned to Zheng Yiguan before, and these people were mainly in charge of minerals.

When they arrived in America, Zheng Yiguan sent them out to explore the minerals that Zheng Yiguan had discovered before.

"General Zheng, among the minerals you marked earlier, the content of various minerals is very large. There are also two silver mines and a gold mine. The reserves of gold and silver are very large. If they are mined, they will be of great help to the mainland. .” The older young man said with a smile.

Zheng Yiguan said: "I don't really understand these things, as long as it can help His Majesty."

"General, I think we should send people to those mines now to prepare for mining. The mines will be mined earlier, and the silver will be sent back earlier." The older young man said to Zheng Yiguan.

Zheng Yiguan nodded, agreeing with this person very much, "You are right, we must control these mines as soon as possible. If the minerals inside can be mined earlier, the minerals inside will be mined earlier. Although I don't I know too much about the mineral content in these mines, but if I can help the inland earlier, then I can help the inland sooner.

How about this, you guys go down first and make a detailed plan first.When the time comes, you will give me the plan, and after I have read it, I will let people cooperate with you to mine these minerals. "

These young people nodded and agreed with Zheng Yiguan's opinion.

After these people left, Zheng Yiguan got busy again.

The current Zheng Yiguan can be said to be the top leader on the American continent, fully responsible for various development matters on the American continent.

Today's American continent is being developed by Zheng Yiguan.Therefore, Zheng Yiguan still has a lot of things in his hands, and he is still relatively busy.

When the time came to the next day, Qian Qianyi led the captives out of the city, went to the woods outside, and cut down the trees inside.

People like Zhu Changxun are like robots, repeating meaningless and boring actions in these open spaces.Even so, there was nothing they could do.

Zheng Yiguan walked out of the place where he lived, took a dozen or so entourages with live ammunition and several engineers with various tools, and got into several wood-burning cars.

Zheng Yiguan walked out of the city in a firewood car and headed for the distance.

The place Zheng Yiguan went to is not other places, but the place where the Panama Canal is located in later generations.

When Zheng Yiguan went back before, Zhao Wen had asked Zheng Yiguan to prepare for the excavation of the canal, so Zheng Yiguan planned to go for a field survey this time.

In the past, Zheng Yiguan also asked people to go there a few times, but this time Zheng Yiguan planned to send the prospectors in person and go to have a look at the same time.

Among Zheng Yiguan's entourage, there are engineering personnel that Zhao Wenpei sent to Zheng Yiguan before. These engineering personnel went to conduct field surveys at the junction of North and South America.

After exploring the situation here, they will come up with a detailed plan to excavate the canal and prepare to divide North and South America into two parts.

At this time, the American continent was not invaded by Westerners on a large scale.So at this time on the American continent, the number of aborigines is still very large.

In Zheng Yiguan's plan, the excavation of the canal in the future will be carried out by these aborigines and the captives sent from the mainland.

Although this is cruel, it is also impossible.It is impossible for Zheng Yiguan to send out the soldiers in his hands to dig the canal.

This world is like this, the weak prey on the strong.Only powerful people can stand at the top of the food pyramid.

Zheng Yiguan sat in the wood-burning car, looked at the crooked road ahead, and kept thinking about the excavation of the canal in the future.

Earlier, Zheng Yiguan had someone smoothen the road past the junction of North and South America.

However, due to limited manpower and limited supplies, the road was only roughly leveled.

The road is still a bit bumpy and bumpy.

The road was bumpy, and Zheng Yiguan was sitting in the wood-burning car, shaking with the shaking of the car.

The city built by Zheng Yiguan is actually not far from the junction of North and South America.

That's two days, or one day if the road is smooth.

When Zheng Yiguan set off, he brought some food and fresh water.

Coupled with the strength of the weapon in his hand, Zheng Yiguan is not afraid of encountering any accidents.

Besides, where Zheng Yiguan was, those colonists from the west had already fled, and Zheng Yiguan couldn't meet them either.

Time passed slowly, and when the last sliver of sunset fell on the horizon, the night came as expected.

A simple camp was set up. Zheng Yiguan sat in a tent in the center of the camp, drinking hot tea and looking at the map on the table.

The moonlight shone on the tent, covering it with silvery white moonlight.

Nearly one mile to the east of the camp was a small hillside. Nearly twenty naked barbarians with grass covering their lower parts, feathers on their heads, and spears in their hands were lying on the hillside.

These people are the local aborigines.

These people hid in the jungle on the hillside, watching the fire in the camp, their faces were full of eager light.

These barbarians had been outside the city where Zheng Yiguan was stationed a long time ago.

At the beginning, they wanted to attack the city where Zheng Yiguan lived, but they didn't take action.

In fact, these natives are not very kind.When they met people like Zheng Yiguan, their first thought was to rob, to see if they could snatch supplies from people like Zheng Yiguan.

At this time, the American continent was not developed by the West on a large scale, so the number of indigenous people is still relatively large.

But this group of people is very clever, they did not invade the city where Zheng Yiguan is located, because they have seen the war between Zheng Yiguan and the western colonists, but they will not be obedient because of this reason.

These people often wander outside the city where Zheng Yiguan is located, and Zheng Yiguan also knows the existence of these people.

However, Zheng Yiguan didn't take care of these people.

These people are very slippery, and they are familiar with the terrain, so it is difficult for Zheng Yiguan to catch them.

The purpose of these people now coming around Zheng Yiguan is very simple, that is to sneak attack Zheng Yiguan's camp in the dark.

They have been following Zheng Yiguan for a long time, since Zheng Yiguan just walked out of the city, they have followed Zheng Yiguan.

The physical strength of these savages is really good, and the potholes and rough roads make the speed of the wood-burning car slow, so these savages have been tailing behind Zheng Yiguan.

Zheng Yiguan seemed unaware of the existence of these people, still sitting in the tent, looking at the map on the table.

In the middle of the night, Zheng Yiguan's camp was plunged into darkness, and the entire camp was also plunged into tranquility.

Except for a few soldiers who were watching the night, the entire camp was silent.

The moon began to set in the west, and the savages finally moved.

Under the cover of night, they quietly went down the hillside and moved towards the camp where Zheng Yiguan was.

They try to keep their steps as light as possible and try not to make noise.

The distance between the two is getting closer and closer, and the speed of these savages is getting slower and slower.

Finally, they came to a distance of about 200 meters outside the camp.

They were lying on the ground, squinting their eyes, and kept looking at the camp ahead.

There were 18 people in this group, all strong and strong men.

The leading man had various patterns painted on his face, and a bow and arrow hung from his shoulder.It's just that this bow and arrow is very simple.As for the others, they carried spears with bony tips.

As the saying goes, money moves people's hearts, people die for money, birds die for food.

These barbarians also knew that they were no match for Zheng Yiguan and others, but for the spoils in Zheng Yiguan's camp, they chose to take risks.

Although these people are just indigenous people, these people still have their own ideas.

These savages lay on the ground and groped forward quietly.

The moonlight reflected on the ground, and these people pressed their bodies against the ground, quietly without making any sound.

The last time these savages spent a long time.

After almost a quarter of an hour, the savages arrived around the wood-burning cars on the outskirts of the camp.

They have seen these wood-burning cars before, but the distance is very far, just from a distance.

Now they can finally see these wood-burning cars up close, and they feel excited all of a sudden.

These people don't understand the power of these wood burning cars and have never seen it like this.

The leader touched the tires of the firewood car, his face was full of excitement.

The tires of wood burning cars are made of rubber and have a special tactile feel to the touch.

The leader stroked for a while, and took his hand off the tire with extreme reluctance.

After a while, the leader led the people behind him and quietly moved forward.

They passed through the encirclement of wood-burning cars and cars, and they were one step closer to the camp

The soldiers who were watching the night in the camp did not find them at this time.

One was because they didn't know that these barbarians were ambushing them, and the other was that because of the darkness, these people were all lying on the ground, making it difficult to distinguish them.

There is also a part of the reason for underestimating the enemy, because these people do not believe that anyone would dare to attack them.

Under the leadership of the leader, these savages suddenly jumped up from the ground, screaming and attacking the tents in the camp.

Soldiers patrolling the camp at night spotted them instantly.

In the face of these barbarians, these soldiers are not polite.Raising the weapon in his hand, he pulled the trigger at them.

These savages are nothing but wandering soldiers, how can they be the opponents of these soldiers.

When the leader was killed, these barbarians panicked instantly.

When the death toll exceeds three or more, these savages turn into birds and beasts and scatter in all directions.

However, the soldiers watching the night in the camp could not easily let them go.

Zheng Yiguan was also awakened by the gunshots, and he walked out of his tent with a big black star in his hand.

A night watchman hurriedly came to Zheng Yiguan and explained what happened tonight.

A hint of ruthlessness flashed across Zheng Yiguan's face, and he said coldly: "Catch all these barbarians, and don't let any of them go. Remember, don't shoot if you can. These people, I It will be of great use in the future. Since they dare to harass me, then they don’t even think about leaving. There is a shortage of manpower in the rubber plantation, so we should catch them and throw them into the rubber plantation to get rubber for me.”

Zheng Yiguan did these things without any psychological burden.

To Zheng Yiguan, what happened tonight was not even a sudden incident.

The sun rose from the horizon, and the leader of the barbarians who was killed last night was buried not far away by the soldiers.

As for the captured barbarians, they were tied up with ropes by these soldiers.

After packing up the tents and other things in the camp, Zheng Yiguan came in front of these barbarians, and said to the soldiers guarding them: "Put these people in firewood cars and send them back to the camp."

"Obey!" A soldier shouted at Zheng Yiguan, and then led his soldiers to escort the barbarians into a wood-burning car.

After finishing these things, Zheng Yiguan then headed towards the junction of North and South America.

That afternoon, Zheng Yiguan came to the junction of North and South America.

The place Zheng Yiguan came to was located by the sea. Zheng Yiguan stood on the coastline and looked at the sea in front of him with his binoculars.

"The water surface here is not deep. If a canal is to be excavated in the future, I am afraid that this place must be dug deep first, otherwise, ships may not be able to pass through it.

Your Majesty told me before that there will be ironclad ships in the future. Although I don't know what kind of ships the ironclad ships are, judging from the name, they must be quite heavy. If the water is too shallow, they may not be able to sail. " Zheng Yiguan murmured.

Zheng Yiguan also attaches great importance to this canal, after all, this is what Zhao Wen personally explained.

A man about 30 years old stood behind Zheng Yiguan, also holding up his binoculars to look at the sea.

This man is called Wu Lang, and he is the main person in charge of this expedition to the junction of North and South America.

"The general is right. The water here is indeed a bit shallow, and we must dig deeper in the future." Wu Lang said.

After Wu Lang finished speaking, he put down the binoculars in his hand and looked at the engineering staff standing behind him.

"Everyone, take all the tools out of the car and prepare for field exploration!" Wu Lang said as he walked towards the engineering staff.

After a while, the engineering staff took down all the measuring tools.

These tools are similar to the exploration tools of later generations, basically made by Zhao Wen.

Although Zhao Wen couldn't get some tools out, Zhao Wen could still get out the most basic tools.

These engineers took these tools and started exploring by the sea.

The speed of exploration was very slow, and it took almost a whole day to complete the exploration here.

Zheng Yiguan stayed here for a day, and left here in a firewood car the next afternoon.

Zheng Yiguan mainly wanted to send these engineering personnel here in person. Now that the engineering personnel have been sent here, Zheng Yiguan has no need to stay any longer. After all, Zheng Yiguan has other things to do.
