Chapter 98: Start training camp
"According to the report from the spies, the other party only came with one large ship. Later, seeing that General Black Bear was on guard, he quietly retreated."
"Hei Xiong did a good job in this matter. He immediately ordered Black Bear to transport the supplies ashore as soon as possible. In addition, if necessary, do not fight pirates at sea." Lin Dong said cautiously, these supplies are related to the future of the Anton Army.
There was no room for neglect, but fortunately the pirates didn't take action, otherwise it's hard to say what the consequences would be.
It seems that if you want to live peacefully in Haizhou, you must build up a navy. However, the navy is a money-hungry person. I am afraid it will be difficult to develop a real navy with the little money you have. Thinking of this, Lin Dong couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
.
Three days passed quickly in Lin Dong's busy life. Fortunately, nothing happened to the Anton Army's supplies in the past three days, and they had been transported to the foot of Qushan Mountain in accordance with Lin Dong's order. They only had to wait for the warehouse to be repaired before they could be stored.
Lin Dong felt relieved a lot.
In these three days, he not only captured Su Pei, an old antique, but also walked through the jurisdiction of Donghai Zhongsuo.
The area under the jurisdiction of Donghai Zhongqianhusuo extends from Yugong in the north, to Huize in the south, and to Qushan in the west. It stretches for hundreds of miles and is under the jurisdiction of Donghai Zhongqianhusuo. The terrain of this area is not high and is very flat, which is very suitable for housing military households.
.
Lin Dong came to the school grounds early on the fourth day. Huang Ning was already waiting there. When Lin Dong arrived, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
With the arrival of Lin Dong, his life has changed tremendously. Now he is well fed, warmly clothed, and more energetic in doing things.
He didn't understand why General Lin was so kind to his servant. This was something he had never seen in his more than thirty years in the army.
With his life secured, Huang Ning was full of energy. In the past few days, he went door to door to convey Lin Dong's orders.
During the Ming Dynasty, military households almost became the private property of the garrison generals, and their orders could not be resisted.
This morning, there were many people standing on the school grounds, and it looked dark from a distance.
"General Lin is here!" Huang Ning shouted when he saw Lin Dong arriving.
Lin Dong waved his hand and walked directly onto the high platform in front of the school ground.
At this time, Li Da read Lin Dong's appointment document in a timely manner, so that everyone could know that this was the new Qianhu Master.
"Everyone, my name is Lin Dong, and I am a new officer from Qianhu. Today I have called you here to inform you that our Qianhu Station in the East China Sea is going to launch a training camp. If you have something to do at home, I will give you one day.
,Tomorrow morning, everyone will gather here to start training."
After Lin Dong finished speaking, he didn't care about the reactions of the people below him and got off the platform directly without saying another word.
No one cared about Lin Dong's words. It's not like they have never seen such a situation before, but it was just a show. Training? Is there enough food? Is there military pay? What do the soldiers eat? Do they have equipment?
No? Then what are you training for? You can't ask us to come to the training camp hungry and with empty hands. I think the right way is to do some side work in the surrounding salt fields.
Everyone discussed with relaxed expressions, and then dispersed in a swarm.
After leaving the military camp, Li Da came to report that Cheng San had returned from Andong County.
"Let him in."
"yes!"
Soon, Cheng San walked in from outside. When he saw Lin Dong, he immediately knelt down and said, "I've seen the general."
"Get up, how are things going?" Cheng San's flattering expression made Lin Dong want to slap him.
"Back to the general, everything has been settled. All thirteen members of Liu Jingzhong's family have been killed," Cheng San said.
"What did you say? When did I ask you to destroy his whole family? Cheng San, do you know the crime?" Lin Dong was shocked. This Cheng San is really...
"General, have mercy on me, general, have mercy on me... I really can't stand Liu Jingzhong's repeated attempts to frame the general, so I came up with the idea of eradicating the roots. General, have mercy on me!" Cheng San was shocked. When Lin Dong asked him to do something, he didn't say he would only kill.
Liu Jingzhong was alone. He had a grudge against Liu Jingzhong in his heart, so he did nothing and directly destroyed Liu Jingzhong's family.
In Cheng San's heart, Lin Dong is his benefactor, a god-like existence. If someone dares to be disrespectful to him, he will never let it go. This Liu Jingzhong has repeatedly killed our generals and even wants to attack the villagers. This is unbearable.
?So he took it upon himself to kill all Liu Jingzhong’s family, including all the young ones.
Lin Dong patted his head, feeling very unhappy in his heart. When did I, Lin Dong, become such a heinous person? There is no such thing as implication in Lin Dong's mind. One person is responsible for each person's actions. After all, Liu Jingzhong's family members do not
persecute yourself.
"It's not your fault. It's only my fault that I didn't explain it clearly at the beginning. Well, you took it upon yourself to kill Liu Jingzhong and his family and you should have been held accountable. But you also did harm to the people. Even if your merits and demerits are equal to each other, I don't
I won’t punish you anymore, but this will never happen again next time.” Lin Dong said coldly.
"Thank you, General, for not killing me."
Cheng San knew that Lin Dong was really angry this time and had already run away in fear.
Seeing Cheng San running out, Lin Dong sighed helplessly, then called Li Da over and asked, "Have you found the location of Bardo's factory?"
"Back to the general, there is a river named Lianhe south of Qushan. There is a place with a large drop in the middle reaches of the Lianhe River. The water flow is fast and it can be used to build a factory just to meet the conditions mentioned by the general. Two days ago, Baldo and two
I also personally went to investigate and said that we can build a factory."
"Lianhe?" Lin Dong had indeed never heard of this river, but since both Bardo and Melgen had personally visited it, it shouldn't be a problem.
Lin Dong once discussed the choice of factory site with Bardo. He suggested that the factory site should be chosen next to a river. This would facilitate the transportation of raw materials and weapons and equipment. Secondly, large-scale stamping equipment could be built through hydraulic power, thereby increasing the efficiency of the factory.
Productivity and gun quality.
After hearing Lin Dong's opinion, Baldo and the other two were in awe of each other, and at the same time they were secretly happy.
From Lin Dong's words, they could see that Lin Dong was also an expert, and it would be of great benefit to them to get along well with such a partner.
After understanding the situation of the factory, Lin Dong asked about the iron ore. According to Shang Ba, it was difficult to contact the previous iron ore seller due to the war, but he told Lin Dong not to worry, he had already contacted him.
There are several other businessmen, and they have promised to supply the ironworks, which will be available as soon as the ironworks are built.
Lin Dong nodded with satisfaction. Shang Ba was indeed a good businessman. He settled the matter of the iron mine in such a short time. Now he only had to build an iron factory. The iron factories in the previous life all used large blast furnaces.
, and then put raw materials such as iron ore and coke into the furnace for high-temperature smelting according to the ratio.
