Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 270 Building Dolphin Bay

Luo Qing said: "A dozen miles to the south, there is Dolphin Bay, where the water is deep, and you only need to build a wooden bridge to load and unload goods."

"Okay, then you send some people to help with the construction. We have to build the pier as soon as possible and let my soldiers come down, otherwise we won't be able to help you when the Korean army arrives," Chailin said.

Luo Qing said: "This is easy to handle. There are many strong men in my family. I sent 300 people to help build the pier. It will be completed in a few days."

"Okay then, we're in a hurry." Chailin said.

Luo Qing chose three hundred strong men, who are good people, but this tool is really bad, not even a decent saw, it's really miserable.

There was a Tamna man who could speak the Central Plains dialect, and 300 people trotted towards the south seashore.

Chai Lin and others followed behind, and Ruan Xiaoqi boarded the big ship and commanded the big ship to move south.

An elder came over and said to Luo Qing: "Your Majesty, I don't think this General Chai has any good intentions. He actually sent such a tall building boat. There may be as many as a thousand people. When they are helping us, they may also use other people to help us." idea."

Luo Qing said: "We Tamna people live in the cracks. Whether it is Song Dynasty, Korea, or Dongying people, they all miss our land. Now the Korean people have been completely offended, and there is absolutely no possibility of seeking refuge. Dongying people Tigers and wolves are even more unreliable. Only people from the Central Plains, who believe in the principles of Confucius and Mencius, are more gentle and will give us a way to survive. You have seen their strength. We don't have the ability to fight them at all, let alone them Saved our lives several times."

The elder nodded and sighed, that was all he could do. A village with a population of several thousand is actually just a village. It would be nonsense to try to build a Tamra country. People are the best. These people understand etiquette, respect etiquette, and will not do anything out of the ordinary. The women, old and young in the family can be preserved.

Chai Lin and others followed Tamluo Zhuangding and walked southward for more than ten miles, and a concave-shaped harbor appeared in front of them, with a stone wall about two meters high on the shore.The port is three miles wide and two miles long, especially the concave opening is very small, at most 600 meters wide, and there is a small island outside the port to block the wind and waves. This kind of port is very good at carrying wind and waves, even in the open sea. , it's safe and sound here.

Chai Lin arranged for Xie Bao and Liu Tang to light the fire, and pointed out the location for Ruan Xiaoqi and the others. After a while, two big blessing boats sailed into the harbor.

The officer sent by King Tamra was a young boy named Luo Ping when he was studying abroad in the Song Dynasty.

Luo Ping said: "General, shall I arrange for the strong men to cut down trees?"

Chai Lin said: "Newly cut trees need to be dry before they can be used, otherwise they will be easily deformed. There is a lot of wood on the big ship that can be used, so we don't need to cut it for the time being. We will see how the craftsmen arrange it later."

Ruan Xiaoqi mobilized more than a dozen sailors, took a small boat to the seaside, put on water tanks one by one, and dived into the seabed to explore. Among the accompanying craftsmen were knowledgeable ones.

After a while, a group of people came out from the bottom of the sea.

The results of the investigation were very good, and it was only necessary to build two wooden bridges more than ten meters long from the shore to enter the water, and then the goods could be easily loaded and unloaded from the Dafu ship.

Ruan Xiaoqi came over and said, "Brother, I checked just now and the condition is very good. We only need to extend more than a dozen meters from the shore to reach the deep water area. We will temporarily build two wooden bridges, and we will build more than a dozen durable ones later." The berth is convenient for loading and unloading.”

"Okay, the construction of the temporary wharf will start immediately. For other berths, craftsmen should be arranged to study and study, and they must be convenient for loading and unloading grain, grass, livestock, etc. I would rather work harder when building them than wait until they are inconvenient to use." Chailin said.

"Okay brother, let's start building immediately." Ruan Xiaoqi said.

To build a temporary wharf, how to build it, how to build it is the craftsman's business, Ruan Xiaoqi handed over the command to the foreman, a foreman who pays 200 taels of silver a year, that's a good level, if you don't do things with money, that's just Waste.

The infantry first took small boats in batches, and then unloaded the wood, cement and other tools used to start construction.

Ruda is down-to-earth, and it is only when he has set foot on land that he is at ease.

"Brother, I finally see you." Lu Da sighed.

Chai Lin said: "Brother Lu Da has lost [-] catties. It seems that the effect of taking a boat to lose weight is very good. How do you feel along the way?"

Lu Da said: "The Sa's parents have seen it. The Sa's family also caught a big fish weighing [-] catties. They thought the fish was big enough, but yesterday they saw a group of kuns that were bigger than the boat. The Sa's family seldom ate fish before, but now they eat fish every day." eat fish."

Chai Lin said with a smile: "I'm afraid I'm getting tired of eating fish these few months on the island."

Lu Da looked at the time and said, "It's already noon, it's getting late, let's find a place to set up camp."

"Well, find a good place inward, the seaside wind is too strong, there is no need to go too close to the sea." Chailin said.

Lu Da arranged for [-] shield soldiers to carry their luggage and luggage to the island. Li Nianzi had a lot of research on the choice of camps. He paid attention to the choice of camps, facing the sun and leeward from the wind. With a wide view, the camp was set seven or eight miles away from the port of Dolphin Bay.The soldiers were busy but not chaotic. They set up tents and fences in an orderly manner. Barbed wire fences were drawn outside to keep horses away. Observation buckets were also set up in the camp, and two large arrow towers were built at the camp gate.

See the spirit in the details. Although there are only a dozen or so tents, they are arranged regularly, the distance is moderate, and the ropes are very strong.

Liu Tang sighed and said: "The Sword and Shield Camp is really elite, and they can't learn the ability to set up a camp in a few months."

Chai Lin said: "Brother Liu Tang should learn more and see more, and you will also lead troops when you turn around."

Liu Tang was very happy and said, "Good brother, can I also lead troops?"

"That is, your martial arts are very good, and your courage is extraordinary. Of course, I will not let you wear swords and shields. You have to change them." Chailin patted the revolver on his waist.

Liu Tang said in amazement: "All the soldiers I lead use revolvers."

"The cost of the revolving gun is too high. At present, there are dozens of personal battalions and dozens of reconnaissance battalions. The light cavalry battalion has a small amount of equipment, and the other battalions are gone. Moreover, the range of the revolving gun is too short. The infantry needs to use long guns. It is good for large-scale battles. It is a newly developed long-fire gun. As for what soldiers to bring, I haven’t figured it out yet, let me think about it slowly.” Chailin said.

How could Liu Tang understand this, so he can use whatever his brother tells him to use.

The infantry built a camp here, and Chai Lin and others began to search everywhere on the island. There is no trace of agriculture and industry here. Tamna people make a living completely by fishing, and raising a few cows is just to improve their lives occasionally. .

There are many rivers on the island, abundant water resources, and fertile land, which can cultivate a small amount of paddy fields and a large amount of dry land.In addition, there are many stones, and there are stones everywhere.To the south, there is a high mountain in the middle of the island.

The area of ​​the forest is not small, and there are hundreds of years old oak, teak, red pine, and metasequoia, which are excellent shipbuilding trees, all of which are very expensive wood.

"There must be thousands of big trees in this forest, and the wood for shipbuilding has disappeared." Chai Lin said happily.

Chai Lin made a simple plan. The northern sea is the territory of the Tamra people. Their three fishing villages and the nearby pastures of ten miles away will not be moved, and all will be left to them.The area more than 100 miles south of Dolphin Bay Wharf is listed as the object of development. In the central part, 20 mu of paddy fields can be reclaimed in places with good conditions, and [-] mu of dry land for peanuts, corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes can also be developed in small quantities. mu.As for other places, they are used as pastures. In order to cope with the upcoming war, Chailin needs to store a large number of war horses, and establish several military horse farms in the south to raise about [-] mares, so as to provide a steady stream of war horses for Chailin.

Chai Lin pointed to the large piece of land in front of him and said: "Some time ago, everyone was worried that the rewards given to the soldiers were too high, which would become a drag. Well, it is resolved now."
