Chapter 92 A Chaotic Day

The tenth day of March, the day before Qingming Festival, is the Cold Food Festival.

Chaotic day.

In the morning, Zhu Yuan was inspecting the preliminarily selected site of the Mingzhou Maritime Academy in the west of the city. Someone came to report, and the grain loading fleet from Wenzhou also arrived.

Hurry to the pier.

Here, Zhu Yuan hadn't finished inspecting the grain ship, yet another mighty fleet came from the south, and it was under Zhang Cundao's department who was long behind Wu Zhen.

So it was arranged again.

Zhang Cundao brought nearly 1000 people, which was much more than the [-] people originally said. However, after seeing the people, Zhu Yuan wanted to jump.

Among them, only [-] were elite rural soldiers under Zhang Cundao's command for a long time.

Others, either dressed in tatters, or numb and panicked, were worse than the lowest-class Zhejiang eastern folk husbands brought back by Wu Zhen at first.These are the so-called surrendered Fujian Chen Youding former ministries, and apparently there are also a large number of local civilians who have been arrested.

With the energy and spirit of these people, they will not be able to use them in a short time.

At this point, Zhang Cundao also came to discuss with Huagao that he would stay, with a look of generosity, but his own [-] township soldiers still had to let them return to their hometown according to the agreement.

Zhu Yuan was also nearby at the time, and wanted to hit someone before he finished listening, but fortunately, Hua Gao couldn't hold back in advance, and grabbed Zhang Cundao to look at the criminals with dejected expressions.There was no discussion, and Zhang Cundao was asked when he could train these people to be useful, and then the 3000 people could leave.

Zhang Cundao was also wronged by Huagao strangling his neck.

After a lot of bitterness, it was only then that I realized that Chen Youding's old troops were not without players who could still fight, even the elite ones, but with a little bit of fighting power, were all divided up and taken to the North and South battlefields by Tang He and Liao Yongzhong. He was a regular fourth rank A little commander, even if he is transferred to the navy's governor's mansion, he is still a fourth rank, how can he compete with a group of leading generals?
Of course, you want what you give.

After such a stroke, Zhu Yuan and Hua Gao also realized that they had expected something.Not counting Zhang Cundao's 8000 direct descendants, he can bring another [-] people, which is already quite capable.

Looking at Zhang Cundao also brought 346 sea-going ships that are not much less than Wu Zhen. Although the quality is obviously incomparable, just like a large ship with more than 2000 materials, Wu Zhen had 29 ships at the beginning. Zhang Cundao only brought 3 ships this time. But, for a Genuine Fourth Grade, can you expect more?

However, the three thousand elite still could not leave.

There are a lot of things here, and what is lacking is the elite who can be used immediately.

Zhang Cundao was obviously not unprepared. After all, his father Zhang Yi had already had a very unpleasant fight with His Majesty the Emperor because of this incident in Jinling. Also agree to come down.

Now that everyone is here, they can only accept it.

Hua Gao personally went to watch and arrange the camping, and Zhu Yuan quickly made a decision that the [-] fujian criminals would not have to do anything for the next three days, just one word, eat!

Let go of your belly to eat, and restore your physical condition first.

Today is the Cold Food Festival. It is reasonable to say that we can't light a fire, and we have to act expediently, so we don't care so much.

For this reason, there were inevitably objections, and Zhu Yuan dismissed them all.

Moreover, even the daily limit of two liters is no longer enforced, as long as these people can eat, there will be sufficient supply.

Speaking of which, no matter soldiers or civilians, the food supply is rationed.

The tallest ones are the soldiers of the guards, who provide two liters of rice per day.For ordinary civilians, it is one liter and five times a day.As for convicts, according to the rules, there is only one liter per day, and not only do the hardest and most tiring work, but this liter is often the worst coarse grain and old grain. To put it bluntly, it is actually used to death.

In addition, there are women, which are not clearly stipulated. After all, women who can be drawn to serve in the military are usually not of normal birth, and it is fine if they do not starve to death.

Zhu Yuan had learned about this at the beginning, and despite the objections of all parties, he changed everything to a daily supply of two liters.In fact, it means that there is no clear limit, and you can eat as much as you can.

The effect is also obvious.

The completion of a series of arrangements for transporting grain to the north in just one month is inseparable from the substantial increase in the labor enthusiasm of soldiers and civilians after sufficient food is provided.

As for the cost?

According to the calculations of the 1200 soldiers and civilians who erased the odds around Dinghai after the arrival of Zhang Cundao’s troops, two liters of grain per person per day cost 150 shi. One day is 18 catties of grain.

Calculate a month, that's more.

This is also a problem that Zhu Yuan must pay attention to.

In the first month, the number of people increased gradually, and only 1 shi of grain was consumed in one month. Next, it is expected that more than 6000 people will gather here at most. In one month, 7 shi of grain will be needed, which is equivalent to 4 ten thousand catties.

If Zhu Yuan continues to supply enough, the old Zhu in Jinling will not agree.

Fortunately, Zhu Yuan already had other solutions.

Not to mention for now.

Besides, on this day, Zhang Cundao's headquarters has not been fully arranged. In the afternoon, in the three-way navy of the "Zhendongyang" Zhao Dingxi's department, Mingzhou Wei Commander Tongzhi Changduan and Tianxingwei Commander Tongzhi Xiahai Commander The two navies returned successively.

Bringing back news that the three groups of troops once surrounded Zhao Dingxi's troops near Shengshan Island. In a naval battle, Zhao Dingxi's troops were almost wiped out, destroying or capturing 73 ships and killing more than [-] enemies.

This time there were no prisoners.

It is a little regrettable that Zhao Dingxi led a small number of remnants to escape the siege.

Wu Zhen, the deputy governor of the navy, sent two groups of troops back first, and he still led the army to patrol the open sea to frighten the surrounding area.

The pirate Zhao Dingxi was basically wiped out, which is a good thing.

The question is, with so many ships and so many people hanging on the side masts, are you planning to dry them and take them home as dry food? !
It's warm!

If the corpses are not disposed of immediately, and tens of thousands of people gather here, if a disease comes up, who will be responsible?

Zhu Yuan was standing at the pier, scolding the two commanders at the top of his voice. He has a really bad temper recently, too many things and too much pressure.

Then there was a bang, it exploded!

Flying stones all over the sky.

Zhu Yuan is fine.

The moment he heard the movement, the sack girl and Hua Gao next to him rushed over together, followed by Zhao Xu and the others, the two commanders who were being scolded, and a group of soldiers around them also blocked them.

Hua Gao and everyone else confessed, so everyone understands that this is a little ancestor, and Zhu Yuan will be fine even if they die.

Zhu Yuan was not hit, but was almost crushed.

Things also figured out quickly.

In order to build lighthouses on outer sea islands, and the barracks here also need to be expanded, Zhu Yuan simply decided to shovel out the entire Zhushan Mountain on the south bank of the Yongjiang River. The stone materials can be used to build docks and camps, and can also be transported to outer sea islands to build lighthouses. get more.

Even if it is a small hill, relying purely on manpower is still a big project, so Zhu Yuan thought of blasting it with gunpowder.

Today is not the first time that the bombing has been carried out. However, in the afternoon, a drug eye was drilled shallow on the one hand, and on the other hand, there was too much charge, which caused a small accident.According to statistics afterwards, only one unlucky guy was hit in the head and passed out. The others were all skin traumas, nothing serious.

However, Hua Gao, who was in a state of desperation, still ran to personally, and beat up a group of soldiers responsible for the blasting one by one, and gave up their errands, and punished them all to carry stones.

After a day of tossing around and returning to the inner house at night, Zhu Yuan was really exhausted and wanted to skip today's diary again.

In the end, let Xieyi pick up the pen.

Thinking of those people brought by Zhang Cundao in the morning, Zhu Yuan couldn't complain. However, after a long time of deliberation, it was only a short period in the end.

The reason why the Han and Tang Dynasties were strong was that they destroyed the Xiongnu and expelled the Turks, so that China had no patients in the north for hundreds of years. There are only three words, called "Liangjiazi"; The Mongols are only three words, and they say 'thieves with the army'.I hope His Majesty will think about it carefully!
