Villager of Daming

Chapter 807: Basho is fresh and has high morale

"Sent, Qiongzhou Prefecture is an important place, and many crops that cannot be grown in the north can be grown there.

Especially in Yazhou and other places further south, it’s no problem to grow cucumbers and watermelons in winter.

There is no need for greenhouses, but unfortunately there are many mountains in the area and the people's skills are limited, so it is very inconvenient to create fields.

Wait for the sergeants to pass by, take a look at the actual situation on the ground, and then find a way to send the equipment there by sea.

Instead of landing in the north, the ships carry equipment around the big island to the south, unload the things, and it will be easier for the people to open the mountain.

There are resources in the area, including coal, and some rocks are hard and can be blown up with dynamite, waiting for more crops to be planted. Anyone who is exiled there will be blessed. "

Zhu Yuanzhang already knew the situation in Yazhou, Qiongzhou Prefecture, which was Sanya, Hainan during Zhu Wentian's time.

Where is the distribution and exile?Just because I was in poor health, I ran over to take care of myself. There are vegetables and fruits all year round, so there is no problem with farming. There is also the sea, and you can fish there with any small boat.

Then there are the wheat and rice grown. If you want to eat steamed buns, eat steamed buns, if you want to eat water rice, you can eat water rice.

It's just that it's poor there now, very poor, with nothing, and the local people are living a difficult life.

Later, Sanya was the road and land dug out from the mountains of Yazhou. The beautiful Sanya Bay was not beautiful at first. Just climb back and climb!

Therefore, a large number of sergeants returned to Qiongzhou this time. They brought explosives, detonators and other things to help clear the fields.

In the future, ships will frequently go there, and ships can be parked close to the seaside, making transportation convenient.

It is suitable to say that the mountain road is difficult to walk, so you can find the local people and give them things, and they will be willing to carry the things over the mountains.

Seeing that there were still people looking over, the chief continued Zhu Yuanzhang's words: "I have asked the government over there to find someone to plant pepper. The harvest can start this year, but it is not the peak season.

As long as there is a harvest, we can use it to negotiate with the barbarians. The pepper they will send in the future will be worthless.

It can also be grown in Yunnan, but it’s too late. Pepper is both a medicine and a condiment. It’s suitable for anything that has a fishy smell.

In the past, due to road conditions, no one had eaten plantains, but dried plantains.

This year, a large steam-powered iron boat has been built, which is suitable for transporting plantains to the local area. "

"Zhu Lichang, will things like bananas go bad when shipped here? In fact, we rarely eat lychees and they are gone in a few days. Now I know that we can use ice cubes to help suppress them and keep them for two more days."

Wei Su has never eaten fresh plantains before, but dried plantains were only available in the past two days. People in the past would not make dried plantains and send them over.

There are fruits locally, and there are also all kinds of dried ones. The plantains can't be processed well. They smell bad and turn into honey, and I feel that the preserved fruits are not worth the price of honey.

"Don't worry, Bachelor Wei, we can eat it, and as long as the ship is fast, we can't eat it immediately when we get there, we have to wait for a few days.

Plantains are naturally eaten ripe when eaten locally. The flesh inside becomes soft and sweet when the outside of the skin turns black. If kept for one more day, they will rot.

This process is called saccharification, so we need to cut the bananas when they are green, then put them in bags and transport them here.

It takes a long time for the green ones to ripen, which ensures that everyone can still eat them.

As long as the ship is fast enough, it can be eaten not only in Nanjing, but also in Peiping. This food is actually medicine to a certain extent.

It can also be used to supplement potassium, and then relieve gastrointestinal problems. If digestion is not good, eat it. Don’t worry, Bachelor Wei, you will definitely be able to eat it this year. "

Everyone swallowed together and ate the wontons quickly. They were greedy, because only those who have been there or were born there have eaten bananas.Others didn't have a chance. The previous ships were not fast enough and had sails and oars. It took more than a month to get there from Nanjing.

No matter how green the banana is, it won't last for a month, and it's not a watermelon.

……

Everyone had a late breakfast and walked around the military camp one by one. The morale of the army was high. Unlike before, they were always worried about war.

It was impossible not to fight, and the punishment for deserters was very severe, so some deserters went to Yunnan to hide with the King of Liang.

King Liang also takes them in, isn't that the end?Think about it, deserters are originally afraid of war, and after being taken in, they will be used as troops. If they encounter a war, who will be defeated if they don't collapse?

There must be one-twentieth deserters in an army. When they see a fight, they run back with a splash, shouting, "It's over, it's over, the enemy is coming..."

The entire army was led astray and died miserably.

This was the consequence of King Liang taking in deserters. Once Zhu Yuanzhang beat him, his army could not bear it.

The Ming Dynasty’s army actually didn’t want to fight, it was so deadly!Moreover, the longer they have been fighting, the more cunning people become. Veterans have gained experience and will avoid it when it is obvious that they will die.

What supports them is that they will have food to eat as soldiers, and they will receive pensions when they die, and it won't work if they don't fight. If they have family members, they will be dealt with.

The morale in the military camp is not very good, everyone is used to it.

It’s different now, everyone is in high spirits!It doesn't matter whether there is a war or not. If there is a war, we will prepare to do military honors and come back in exchange for money.

If we don't fight, we can train normally and learn knowledge. When it's our turn, we can go to more remote places to teach the people. It's best to have more people there, after all, it's not stable there yet.

"This is what our Ming army should look like, good, good!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded uncertainly and praised!

"That's because we have good weapons and the enemy obviously can't defeat us. The sergeants are confident that fighting is to earn military merit.

What's more, the treatment given by His Majesty is good. Soldiers earn more than workers. The life of a dead family...

Anyway, fewer and fewer people will die in the future. Soldiers dare to fight, are willing to fight, and are not afraid of war. "

Han Zheng said the most critical thing. The weapons are too powerful. Xiaqiu Village keeps releasing new weapons. The previous flintlocks will be eliminated, and there are no more fire guns.

On the other hand, they still need to practice bows and arrows, flying short spears, spears, and shields, and even make temporary catapults. This is for when the logistics cannot keep up when they go outside, and they will be used when bullets and gunpowder are gone.

At that time, the soldiers were replaced by the former troops and could still fight.

Han Zheng said but couldn't go on. No matter how good the families of the people who died after beating He Lin were, I believe their families did not want to receive the pension. Instead, they returned with the other soldiers and lived their current lives.

Everyone was silent for a while. It used to be normal for people to die, but now it feels abnormal. Wouldn't it be better if the speed of Xiaqiu Village was faster?
"The master tried his best, but there was no time." Lan Yu suddenly said something.

"Yes! I tried my best." Fu Youde continued.

"I've tried my best." The generals said. They could see that Xiaqiu Village was promoting one step at a time. If the basics are not good, you can't make a good gun.

　It should be gone today. The farmer is going out for a trip.
