1635 Han style rises again

Chapter 95 He Laoliu's Revenge ([-])

The entire Jianye City camp is busy and noisy, and everyone is dedicating all their energy and sweat to their homeland.Although this place is wild, far away from Daming, far away from concentrated human settlements, there are no masters, no oppression, and no hunger here.

Immigrants from the Ming Dynasty went from panic when they first arrived here, to calmness in the following days, and gradually joyful and full of hope.Everyone can eat, and there are still three meals, steamed buns, noodles, sorghum pancakes, roast potatoes, and even fish and meat occasionally.

At this time, in the north of the Yangtze River in Daming, many ordinary people could no longer have enough to eat, or could not afford to eat.Even worse, in Shaanxi, Ganning, Hebei, Henan and other places, starvation is everywhere, and you can see it everywhere.As for the pastoral songs in the south, I don’t know how long they can last.

The city is burning bricks and building various houses day and night. Perhaps, one of them may be their future home.

In the fields where the fields are constantly expanding and the seeds are being sown one after another, a portion of the land will also belong to them in the next few years.

There are two bolts of earthen cloth distributed on the body. Although they are not in the form of clothes, everyone cherishes them very much. When working, some men must take off the cloth on the upper body to avoid tearing.If it weren't for the shame of human beings, they would like to take off the cloth on their lower body.And those women, using their free time, quickly sewed a suit of clothes for themselves from the homemade cloth handed out.For the immigrants from the Ming Dynasty who were once hungry, life seemed to be full of endless hope all of a sudden.

But in a wooden hut in the camp, He Laoliu was full of despair and curse for life.

Many brothers who returned from Batavia heard about He Laoliu's nasty deeds.No one sympathized with him, but endless ridicule and contempt.

Thinking of women, yes.But what's wrong is that you frankly bully a bitter haha ​​who came here with us through all kinds of hardships, which makes everyone feel a little disdainful.Hold on for a while, won't you be able to rotate to Batavia and Daming soon?

He Laoliu simply hid in the wooden house in embarrassment and indignation, just like recuperating from injuries in the previous stage, he didn't leave the wooden house for half a step, and Luo Daqi, who was in the same room, took all the meals back.Unfortunately, if Luo Daqi went out to do errands early in the morning and came back in the middle of the night, he would only be hungry.

"I'm going to kill you!" He Laoliu kicked over a wooden bench angrily, and walked around the wooden house anxiously, "A bunch of untouchables, so what if they bully you! I will kill you if I have the chance!"

He Laoliu walked to the head of the bed, pulled out his long knife, and looked out fiercely from the wooden latticed window, staring at the noise outside and the immigrants struggling to build outside.

"Tomorrow, we will leave Jianye City. I'm afraid it will be three months at the earliest when we come back. Everything here is left to you!" Cao Xiong looked at Yu Fukun and Qi Tian, ​​and solemnly ordered: "You guys Be careful in everything, I will leave half of the [-] muskets I brought back for you. The aborigines nearby, I think you will not be difficult to deal with. The storage area is well built, and if things go wrong, avoid them, no matter how strong the enemy is, It may be difficult to get in."

Yu Fukun nodded, and said: "Master Cao, don't worry, I'm here to help Xiaotian, it's not too difficult. But you, go to Daming, you have to be more careful.... At that time, avoid Zheng Zhilong and the officers and soldiers. Buy supplies And to collect people, try to get shopkeeper Zhou to come forward, and it won't cost a lot of money."

"Uncle, Uncle Kun is right. If you can do something with money, spend it as much as possible. The money in the treasury can last at least a year or two. At worst, we can go to the Black Valley to get some gold." Qi Tian said.

"Xiaotian, my second brother and I are leaving tomorrow. You are here, but you are going to build a big house for us to live in." Qi Dalu rubbed Qi Tian's head.

Originally, according to the intention of Cao Xiong and Qi Dajiang, they wanted to leave Qi Dalu in Jianye City.But for some reason, he just wanted to get on the boat, saying that he wanted to protect his uncle and second brother, which made people speechless.

Qi Dalu has an unspeakable secret in his heart, he just wants to go to Batavia, and take another look at the girl with a beautiful smile, and he keeps thinking about it.As for what happened after seeing it, he didn't know.

The sun gradually set, and the farmers, craftsmen, and workers who had been busy all day put down their work one after another and walked towards the camp.There are enough meals prepared there, and there are wooden houses where they can rest for them to replenish the energy consumed for the day.

On the road from Jianye City to the Black Valley, more than five or six hundred indigenous people excitedly ate the meals provided by the people by the sea.Although it was only two steamed buns and a piece of potato, they all ate with relish.

The aborigines here have been eating kangaroo meat captured and wild fruits collected in the wild all their lives.He once ate steamed buns and pancakes made from wheat sorghum, and gave them some salt and spices from time to time.At this time, they realized that the meat pieces coated with salt and spices were so delicious.

The working natives wish they could come to the beach every day to help with things, carry coal and rocks, clean up the bushes and weeds on the planned road, carry soil, dig ditches... After doing these things, there will be delicious food food.Everything seems to be fine.

Ding Chuangen and Chang Chunsheng couldn't help but shook their heads as they watched these voracious natives.These aborigines are really stupid. A simple dirt road construction, one did not say it was in place, and just started it indiscriminately.The road is supposed to be level. Have you eaten too much and lost your strength?Dig so many big holes out!
The camp had to send construction "supervisors" to correctly instruct these indigenous people on how to build a simple dirt road.At the beginning, I was worried that the aborigines would be rebellious and would cause injuries and fights.Many heavily armed guards were sent to deter and protect the "supervisors".

Later, it was discovered that in order to successfully eat the two meals provided by the camp, these aborigines had no tendency to violence at all, but obediently obeyed any of their arrangements.

Presumably, the armed threats played a big role on the second day Cao Xiong's fleet returned, and they could eat enough, so why bother fighting and killing them.

Ding Chuangen and Chang Chunsheng discussed the planning direction and construction progress of this road while walking, and gradually fell behind.

"Chuangen, after repairing this road, do we really want to build a settlement in the Black Valley?" Chang Chunsheng asked.

"Of course, didn't Qi Tian say that if you want to smelt iron and steel, you must do so in the place where the raw materials are produced. This can save a lot of transportation costs."

"Then do you want to stay in Jianye City, or go to the Black Valley?"

"Go to the Black Valley."

"why?"

"Jianye City is called Qitian's planning and design." Ding Chuangen's eyes brightened, "When we arrived in the Black Valley, Qitian said that we would try to plan a new town by ourselves....I want to try!"

"Then I'll go to the Black Valley too!"

"Okay, when the time comes, we will personally plan and design a new town. Thinking about it, I'm very excited!"

"Boy, I'm very excited to see you!" Suddenly, a gloomy voice came from the forest.

"...Who?" Ding Chuangen and Chang Chunsheng were startled, stopped suddenly, and looked behind a thick eucalyptus tree.

"Jie Jie Jie..." He Lao Liu came out from behind the tree with a strange smile, "More than 20 days ago, I almost beat you to death! Why, don't you recognize me?"

"It's you!" Ding Chuangen looked at He Laoliu who was holding the knife, feeling an ominous feeling in his heart, "What do you want to do?"

"What do I want to do?" He Laoliu stared fiercely at the two teenagers opposite, "You two brats beat me with fifty army sticks, so you don't plan to give me some compensation?"

"Compensation?" Ding Chuangen and Chang Chunsheng looked at each other, "Yes. When we get back to the camp and ask our parents for money, I'll give it to you!"

"Bah, I don't care about your money!" He Laoliu took a sip, "It's very simple, you beat me with fifty army sticks, now, you only need to take one knife from me."

"En!" Ding Chuangen and Chang Chunsheng were so frightened that they took a few steps back.

"Don't be afraid, boy!" He Laoliu forced a few steps forward, "My knife is very fast, and it won't hurt you at all!"

"Run separately!" Chang Chunsheng yelled, turned around and ran towards the side forest.

Ding Chuangen also ran to the other side without hesitation.But just after two steps, a strong force came from behind him, kicking him to the ground, before he could scream, there was a sharp pain in his back, and then it seemed that a knife was stabbed into his back again.Ding Chuangen's eyes went dark, and he fell to the ground and remained motionless.

"Hey..., boy, let's see how far you can run!" He Laoliu pulled out the long knife from the back of the fallen boy, and chased in the direction of Chang Chunsheng.
