1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 17 Small Fishing Village

Tao Donglai readily agreed to Yuan Ruoxiu's request, but it was not that simple to implement.After all, this is Sanya in 1627. As long as you leave the base, no one can guarantee absolute safety, and Tao Donglai also wanted to take this opportunity to let the people from the military and police department survey the terrain near the small fishing village.It is worth mentioning that this large mountain ridge between the original Sanya urban area, Victory Port and Tiandu River has also been renamed "Victory Ridge" by the Executive Committee.The Xiaoyu Village is just at the southern end of Shengli Mountain, and its geographical location is very critical. If there is a land offensive from the direction of Yacheng in the future, it will definitely pass through the location of the Xiaoyu Village.The last time Yan Chujie led the team to investigate, although the father and son surnamed Yu were captured, the effect of the investigation was minimal. If there was help from the local leading party, it would be different.

In addition to the people from the Ministry of Agriculture and the Military and Police Department, the team this time is also accompanied by translators. In addition, people from the communication team must also travel together to test the signal coverage and blind spots of the existing radio and PHS system. The Ministry also intends to send someone to investigate the shipbuilding level of this fishing village. If there is a shipbuilder or something, it may come in handy in the future.For field operations with more than a certain number of people, according to the regulations of the Executive Committee, accompanying medical personnel must be equipped to prevent accidents.Therefore, the staffing arrangements of four or five departments were involved in the first and second visits. In order to coordinate the relationship between various departments in this field operation, the Executive Committee also sent representatives to participate in the operation. Finally, Ning Qi, a history enthusiast, took the initiative to apply. For this task, he really wanted to see with his own eyes what the living environment of ordinary people in the late Ming Dynasty was like in this time and space.

Once the number of people is large, coordination will be slow. Moreover, a group of people from the military and police department is divided into two groups and sent out by Yan Chujie early in the morning. Together, they surveyed the hydrological conditions in the upper reaches of the Tiandu River and made preparations for the subsequent hydropower construction.The other team was led by Yan Chujie himself to Yulinjiao, which juts out into the South China Sea. He plans to open an observation post at a suitable place in the mountains of Yulinjiao in the future to monitor and warn of threats that may come from the sea.

As a result, the joint action team's departure time had to be postponed until after lunch, and Yu Xiaobao and his friends were also fortunate enough to taste the first meal that the cooking class really showed their skills after the crossing - paella.This kind of exotic cuisine cooked with a variety of spices not only made the indigenous fishermen have the fortune to open a meat dish for the first time in their lives, but also won unanimous praise from the people who traveled.At the forum that night, someone took the lead in setting up a support club for Fan Wei, the chief chef of the cooking class, and even claimed to support Chef Fan in the executive committee in the election a year later.

After lunch, the "Lightning" went to Yulinjiao to pick up the team led by Yan Chujie. Considering the familiarity of the environment, Yan Chujie was still in charge of the defense of the joint action team this time.At one o'clock in the afternoon, the "Lightning" carried the joint action team and the local leading party, Yu Xiaobao, to the west side of the harbor, which could save at least half the time compared to their detour by land.The joint team consisted of ten people from the military and police department, then three from the agricultural department, one from the communication team, one from the shipping department, one translator, one from the medical team, plus Ning Qi, a total of 18 people.

After sending these people away, Tao Donglai immediately returned to the construction site of Base No. [-]. He must personally confirm whether the solidification degree of the quick-drying cement for the foundation of the ring beam has reached the construction requirements. Before going down the mountain, at least two to three hundred square meters of prefabricated houses can be built. At night, women, children and older people can be arranged in, so there is no need to sleep in tents.

In addition, a set of non-firing brick making machine equipment purchased by the Ministry of Construction will be unloaded from the "New World" in the afternoon. The Ministry of Industry must install and debug it as soon as possible, and strive to put it into production as soon as possible.This equipment can use fly ash, coal slag, slag and even natural sand as the main raw materials. It does not need high temperature calcination but high pressure pressing to form bricks, and the brick production speed is much faster than the traditional brick making method. The building material gap that will inevitably be faced is simply a golden finger.But the only shortcoming is that this thing has to run on electricity, and now only the marine generator set on the "New World" can provide high-power power generation, which is a real oil gambler.Therefore, the Ministry of Industry's plan is to find out the water conditions in the upper reaches of the Tiandu River as soon as possible, and strive to start the construction of small hydropower at the pre-planned location as soon as possible, and then gradually build the upper reaches of the Tiandu River into a future industrial base.

It didn't take too long for the "Bliksem" to sail from the temporary pier in Victory Harbor to the fishing village on the west side of the harbor. In fact, if you pay attention, you can see a small building with a telescope in the cockpit of the "New World". The wooden trestle poked out from the mangroves on the shore. "Bliksem" carefully approached the trestle, and then the members of the joint team filed ashore.Finally, the bearded doctor Johnson also carried a large bag and went down to the dock: "I am a doctor, I will go with you, maybe there will be patients there."

Johnson took the initiative to ask Ying, and Ning Qi and Yan Chujie would naturally not object. Although there was a medical staff member in the original team, the reason this guy was assigned to the medical team was because he worked in a chain pharmacy before crossing the border. In terms of professional level, he must be It can't compare to a regular doctor with a medical license like Johnson.Besides, Johnson himself is also a non-staff member of the military and police department, and he is probably more familiar with firearms than most people in the military and police department.Except for Yan Chujie, the ten members of the military and police department were all carrying 56 and a half, while Johnson was wearing an HK416 and a MK23 pistol in his leg.Out of prudence, Ning Qi also applied for a MK23 on the ship just now. As for how to open and close the insurance, aiming and shooting, he still learned from Johnson now. The effect of psychological comfort is probably far greater than the actual combat significance.

Carrying a dozen guns to investigate a fishing village, this is not a bull's knife to kill chickens, but the executive committee has formulated various action codes very early, especially the operation of going to unknown areas to conduct front-end investigations, and more A variety of plans have been prepared.The configuration of team members, travel mode, contact information, weapon equipment, etc., all have clear regulations, which should be ordered first and then not chaotic.In addition, one thing that the Executive Committee particularly emphasized is that "strategically despise the enemy, and tactically attach importance to the enemy." Even if the opponent may be only the guardsmen, Li people or farmers who fought against the five scumbags, we must absolutely ensure complete suppression by force. Any loss of manpower will be an unacceptable and significant loss to Transcendence.

Of course, the regulations on paper are one thing, and the actual implementation may not be able to achieve the same level of attention. For example, many people in this joint action team regarded this investigation as "observing and experiencing the Ming Dynasty." Fisherman's Life" an outdoor event.After landing, there was no formation to speak of, and they talked and laughed towards the inland fishing village.

There were two small fishing boats buckled on the beach, but the people from the shipping department thought it was of little value.This four-meter-long fishing boat is too small, and the manufacturing process is not technical at all, so only the boat was photographed with a camera for data preservation.A few old fishing nets were hung on brackets next to the fishing boat, and everyone was able to truly see the fishing nets woven by the ancestors with hemp fibers and rags.

The fishing village is not far from the coast. After passing through the mangroves near the sea, you can actually see a few thatched huts peeking out from the woods.The living conditions of these fishermen are very difficult in the eyes of modern people. Because there is no building material production area such as brick kilns and tile kilns nearby, they can only cut wood for walls and thatch for roofs when building houses. They can use yellow mud and straw to paste. Walls or walls made of rubble are considered relatively good conditions in the village.No family in the village feeds poultry and livestock, and even the entire fishing village does not even have a guard dog, which shows the embarrassment of the fishermen here.Yu Xiaobao also took the team to visit his house. There was no iron pot at home. He relied on two dilapidated pots for cooking and cooking. The most valuable thing was probably the two pots of grain placed under the bed. , and nearly half of them were taken from the Transmigration Congregation yesterday.Everyone felt appalled when they saw it, and Ning Qi even thought that the impoverished households whom the school organized teachers to go to poor villages to show their love were much better than Yu Xiaobao's family.

Ning Qi noticed that there seemed to be no human activities in the fishing village, so he asked the translator to ask Yu Xiaobao.Yu Xiaobao explained that the villagers were afraid of being robbed by pirates before, and it is estimated that they would not dare to come back from the mountains one after another after the group of people who went to trade today returned.Ning Qi was a little disappointed by this answer. He had hoped to gather another batch of labor from the fishing village as soon as possible, but now it seems that this timetable has to be postponed for at least a day or two.

At this time, Yuan Ruoxiu made a request and wanted to see the land reclaimed by the villagers. Naturally, no one would object to this arrangement in the plan, so the team walked out of the village under the leadership of Yu Xiaobao.

The so-called reclaimed land is actually a paddy field where the villagers cut down a forest and then burned it, and then introduced the mountain spring and stream water.Yuan Ruoxiu noticed that these paddy fields have not been deeply cultivated, and the growth of the seedlings can only be described as "poor". With this level of grain planting, the yield per mu must be worrying.In addition, Yuan Ruoxiu also noticed that there are no commercial crops planted here. It is reasonable to think about it. The fishermen here still have problems filling their stomachs, let alone using arable land to grow some non-food crops.

Yuan Ruoxiu and his two subordinates began to sample water, soil and food crops, and the communication team also began to take out communication equipment for debugging.The others sat on the ground around them, smoking and drinking water to rest.

Ning Qi took out PHS and prepared to call back to the headquarters to report the situation. Before dialing the number, he heard Zhang Guang from the communication team say: "The PHS signal is not good in this place, it is estimated that the signal transmission power at the headquarters is not strong enough. , you wait for me to climb the tree and try."

Before this Zhang Guang crossed over, he worked as a field worker for Netcom in a small city in the north, specializing in equipment maintenance. This kind of professional talent was naturally drawn into the Ministry of Information Industry by Meng He, and then assigned to the communication team as Wu Zhuo's deputy.When Tao Dong came to assign the task today, Zhang Guang also volunteered to do it. This kind of field signal detection work was simply familiar to him.

Zhang Guang probably climbed the base station tower a lot before, hugged a tree and rubbed it up a few times, then found a thick branch to stand firm, and raised the signal detector in his hand.

Ning Qi put his hand on his forehead, raised his head and said to Zhang Guang who was standing on a tree branch five or six meters high: "Be careful, don't fall!"

Zhang Guang grinned and said, "Don't worry, the tower I've climbed for seven or eight years has never fallen..."

Before Zhang Guang could speak, there was a sudden swish in the air, and then he heard Zhang Guang scream and fell from the tree!
