Chapter 409 Army Landing
In fact, the residents who set off from Digang were not as fast as the army assembled. It was not until around 3 pm on March 18 in the third year of Tianxuan that Xuande had assembled 1,500 residents, boarded the ship and Sylvie successively. Three small warships sent by Asia Ocean.
The North Port of Jidao is only about 30 kilometers away from Di Port on the outlying island, but there are only three civilian piers in the North Port of Ji Island, which can only accommodate 9 ships at the same time, so the departure from Di Port is a little late, and it happens that the Yidao Military Port and the Outlying Island Shipyard depart for delivery The warships of army fighters are moored ahead of schedule.
When Qu Mao, Xuande, Su Yan, and Zhao Pan arrived at Beigang of Jidao by seaboat and warship, 1,000 army soldiers had already set up marching tents in Beigang Village. It is definitely impossible to go to the construction site of Ji Village at night.
Qu Mao said to Zhao Pan beside him: "Zhao Pan, I saw five warships heading north just now, are they army troop carriers?"
Zhao Pan said: "My lord, it is the army soldiers led by Lord Chafidel. Now Sir Mrak and Wang Ping are also preparing troops, ready to rush to help Ji Island at any time."
Qu Mao nodded and said: "Although the army has a lot of heroes now, the early army heroes consisted of you, Chafidel, Sir Mrak and Wang Ping, and Lidao and Yidao still need to keep people.
In case the third batch of invasion fleets of the Anti-Yi Village Alliance did not operate according to the information we got, and suddenly attacked our outlying islands and Yi Island, it is not a big problem for Sky Island to send some heroes to surrender. "
After the mixed formation of sea ships and warships departing from Digang was moored at the Beigang Civil Wharf, Xuande was the first to get off the boat, came to Qu Mao, and said, "My lord, my subordinates will first arrange for the leaders to build Beigang Village, 1500 people. Leaders, all start.
Before dark, Beigang Village’s internal government office, five-story buildings, material warehouses, granaries, medical rooms, carpentry workshops, blacksmith shops, public toilets, 200 zero-level territorial houses, and 50 first-level houses must all be completed.
Strive to accommodate all but 1,000 army soldiers in formal buildings, and at the same time settle down for the 6,000 Yancheng Port citizens who will come tomorrow morning. "
Qu Maodao: "Xuande, the construction of defensive towers, lighthouses, watchtowers, and even coastal defense ballistas and coastal defense catapults must be started and completed as soon as possible.
Regarding the development and development of the entire Jidao, Xuande, what do you think about it? "
Xuande said: "My lord, there is not much time before it gets dark, so the development of the Eight Classics has to be started tomorrow, so that everyone can temporarily rest in Beigang for the night.
Early tomorrow morning, the subordinates will first ask 200 army soldiers to **** a total of 1,000 residents to the construction site of Ji Village. The magician team has already gone there ahead of time, and the subordinates have got in touch with Master Hua Tielan.
Master Su Qiaoer’s ship will sail back to Beigang at about ten o’clock tomorrow morning. At that time, 1,000 Yancheng Port residents will stay in Beigang Village, and the other 5,000 people will go to the construction site of Ji Village under the protection of 400 army soldiers.
When the first wave of 1,000 residents of Ji Village arrives tomorrow, the surface has already been cleaned up, and the subordinates will first arrange the projection of the city walls and gates, and then the 1,000 residents will start building Ji Village both internally and externally.
When the 5,000 Yancheng Port residents arrived at noon, the construction of the internal residences in Ji Village could start almost immediately.
Early in the morning of the day after tomorrow, the subordinates will send 500 prisoners of war to freedmen and 1,000 residents of Yancheng Port. Under the **** of 200 army soldiers, they will go to the construction site of the emergency village to carry out the construction of the emergency village.
As for the road construction team, the engineers arranged by Li Xiang, escorted by 50 soldiers, have gone to Jicun and Jicun to survey the terrain, and it is expected that road construction will start the day after tomorrow. "
Qu Mao said: "Well, let's go according to your plan first. The military barracks in Ji Village are going to be built in advance, and each village must have enough defensive measures."
Su Yan said: "My lord, a quarter of the materials carried in my backpack have been transferred to Beigang Village. After the material warehouse and granary are built, they can be directly transferred in.
The other half of the materials will be left in Ji Village tomorrow, and the last quarter of the materials will be brought out by the subordinates when they go to Ji Village.
The 12,000 citizens who returned from Yancheng Port were all resettled in Jidao, so three villages are definitely not enough, and the residents from the Anti-Yi Village Alliance on Outlying Island and Yidao also need a certain number of self-owned citizens to neutralize, so they belong to Down…"
Qu Mao waved his hand and said: "There is no need to transport them back. After all, Ji Island is very likely to capture more than 100,000 prisoners from the third batch of invasion fleet of the Anti-Yi Village Alliance. Now transport them back. In the future, Ji Island will encounter the current outlying islands and Yi Islands." The same situation.
It is a matter of the village, this Xuande has to consider carefully.
How long will the supplies be enough for 10,000 people? I mean mainly food. "
Su Yan frowned, and said: "My lord, the food for my subordinates is prepared for 2,500 people a month. If I want to feed 10,000 people, I'm afraid I can only last for a week."
Qu Mao said: "In this case, let Franklin King prepare to transport food to Jidao after receiving the citizens who came back from Yancheng Port tomorrow.
Xuande said: "My lord, my subordinates will arrange the construction of the new village as soon as possible, and try to arrange it on the road that has been built first.
Beigang Village is 7 kilometers away from Ji Village, 6 kilometers away from Ji Village, and 9 kilometers away from Ji Village. At least 20 villages can be built along these three main roads.
Adding this triangular area, it is no problem to build 60 villages, but we are afraid that our gold coins will not be able to keep up. "
Qu Mao said: "We will think about the gold coins later, Xuande, you have to consider other areas where Ji Island may land, and build coastal defense measures and villages in advance.
The 12,000 returnees from Yancheng Port are the highest-quality residents in the territory of Yi Village. All of them will be assigned to you to develop Jidao at once, which shows how much we attach importance to Jidao.
Counting 1,500 prisoners of war converted to free citizens, Jidao started with 13,500 residents and 2,000 senior army soldiers. When Kong Ming developed the outlying island, there were only 200 leaders and 20 second-tier soldiers.
Just for the soldiers and civilians, 31 villages should be built to resettle them according to reason, not counting the prisoners of war you want to recruit.
In this way, the prisoners of war captured by the navy and army will be sent to outlying islands to be recruited and resettled. As many people are captured, half of the residents who surrendered in the first batch of the Anti-Yi Village Alliance's invasion fleet and the second batch of anti-Yi Village Alliance's invasion fleet will be replaced. Come over to Ji Island, what do you think? "
Xuande smiled and said: "My lord, this is a good relationship. To put it bluntly, the subordinates should work hard to build the village and resettle the leaders.
Master Su Yan, an excellent-level qualified leader, has already recruited all of them last time. If you don’t do it to the end, your subordinates will also recruit some excellent-level qualified leaders to serve as village officials, and then recruit initial villagers to develop new villages.
The ratio is easy to solve. Each village has 80 freedmen from Yancheng Port and 20 prisoners of war converted to freedmen. The subordinates will build 75 villages for you in one go, or even more. "
Qu Mao rolled his eyes and said, "Zhao Pan, you cooperate with Lord Xuande to build villages on the coast where there is a possibility of landing, and arrange defenses.
The landing point of the third batch of invasion fleets of the Anti-Yi Village Alliance in the southeast corner will be left to them first, with 200,000 troops, we have to eat slowly, at least prepare to continue the battle until September of the third year of Tianxuan, we will spend half a year Only by eating these 200,000 citizens will they not be choked. "
Xuande continued to take out the simple Jidao map, and said: "There should be no problems in the west, mainly in the three directions of south, north and east.
The location of the emergency village was built because Hua Tielan and the others had already marked it when they explored. Mr. Zhao Pan, we still have to walk along the coastline, so that we can rest assured. "
Zhao Pan said: "Okay, Master Xuande, I have brought the cavalry to the island. Let the cavalry go around the north, east and south first."
Qu Mao glanced at the sky, and said: "Xuande, prepare a place for me first, and I will draw the rough plan of Ji Village for you.
Tomorrow morning, you can go directly to start work with the planning map. Of course, tomorrow later, I will go with the leading troops returning from Yancheng Port.
You go to direct the construction of Beigang Village first. Although Beigang Village will be used as a civilian wharf in the future, it is a time of war after all, so construction standards, especially safety, still need to be considered. "
Su Yan followed Qu Mao to Beigang Village, which was under construction 300 meters away, and found a zero-level residential house, and the two walked in together.
There are no daily necessities, but fortunately Qu Mao is not particular about it. Instead, he lies on the ground, takes out a pen and paper, and begins to draw the planning map of Ji Village.
There are too many new zero-level territorial houses and first-level residential houses in Beigang Village. Qu Mao can only wait until it is almost dark, go out and look around, and then re-plan Beigang Village on the basis of the already built buildings.
The development of Jidao began during the war period. Therefore, the construction of each village is likely to involve a large number of residents first. As the construction of subsequent villages increases, it will gradually be diluted.
Su Yan looked at Qu Mao drawing a map for a long time with some boredom, and said: "My lord, the planning drawings are all small things, the key is gold coins, building materials, and the return of residents."
Qu Mao, who was so focused on cheating, naturally wouldn't agree with Su Yan's point of view, so he waved his hand and said, "Su Yan, go outside and help Xuande to direct the construction of Beigang Village. I'm always worried that Xuande will Defensive measures are not enough.
Gold coins and resources will be considered later.
Don't be idle, I can accurately predict that after the war with the third batch of invasion fleets of the Anti-Yi Village Alliance, the Anti-Yi Village Alliance will no longer be a threat to us, and we are going to clean up Liuwang Principality.
So, you have to contact Sunan, and there is not much time left for him. If we want our battle against Liuwang Dukedom to go smoothly, it means that Sunan needs to instigate more generals and senior officials of Liuwang Dukedom. "
Su Yan thought for a while and said, "My lord, my subordinates will make arrangements immediately."
