The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 120 Getting Ready
Huang Sheng was in high spirits at this time, facing the sea and watching the tide rise and fall, he was full of pride for a while. In the era of great navigation, I am here, and the Han people will never be left behind.

He beckoned, Zhao Shimin and Gu San immediately walked up to him and said loudly, "What are your orders?"

"You take some people to Dengzhou with General Wu tomorrow to handle errands. This place will become the new home of the Huang family."

Zhao Shimin said happily: "My lord, that's great. There are many harbors here. No matter how many ships the Huang family has in the future, they don't have to worry about entering the harbor."

Gu Sandao: "My lord, we have gained a lot of experience this time, and it will be more reasonable to build docks, factories, warehouses and houses."

"You all need to brainstorm and come up with a panoramic plan first. My requirements are clean, beautiful, and livable. In the future, there will be no smoky factories on this island, and deep processing of raw materials will be carried out here."

Zhao Shimin said: "My lord, the students understand that steelmaking, ironmaking, pottery firing, and cement firing that will start to be fired soon, etc. Those jobs that look dirty are all done by Huangjiashan Island."

"Yes, I will take you to make a home here. You plan the residential area and the Huang's house carefully. The Shuangding Mountain is quite beautiful. You should make full use of the landscape to build a beautiful building complex."

Gu Sandao: "My lord, there is a lot of land here that can be turned into fertile fields after repairing. In the future, the Huang family can at least eat the vegetables we grow here when we live here."

"That's right. When you build factories and houses, you must choose flat mountains. If it is difficult to construct, use gunpowder to collect the soil in the crevices of the stones and build as many fields as possible."

"My lord, our family actually has a lot of good farming methods. The younger ones will bring them to build the fields right away. Don't worry, they don't want to waste the land that can be cultivated!"

"Very good. From now on, at the very least, we need to be self-sufficient in vegetables and meat. You also need to make full use of the stone resources on the island, and build a solid seawall and grain depot with cement."

The Huang family has brought in a lot of talents, and the craftsmen who followed last year have grown a lot after nearly a year of study. They have people who are available, and they have the status of money and bureaucrats.

The most important thing is that he has force. Huang Sheng didn't need to think too much about building Huangjiawan Island. He assigned the matter to Zhao Rui, Zhao Shimin, and Gu San to take the lead, and he still focused on cultivating the firearms troops.

On July [-]rd of the fifth year of the Apocalypse, Huang Sheng commented on the results of the two-month drill in high spirits, and rewarded many outstanding fighters.

Huang Mingdao was appointed as the commander-in-chief of this long-distance voyage, and Huang Mingli stayed on Huangjiashan Island as the commander, continued to train the remaining troops, and supervised the normal drills of the residents on the island.

Gu Shanhai took a hundred Xiangyongs to be responsible for the order of Huangjiawan Island, and to protect the safety of Gu San, Zhao Shimin and many technical personnel.

The equipment of the hundred townsmen of the Huang family is better than that of the Daming Guards, and their fighting power is much stronger than them. There are also four straw boats and eight horse boats equipped with six cannons that travel between the two islands of the Huang family. Among them, security issues are guaranteed.

After this period of hard work regardless of cost, there are already 30 qualified flintlock rifle shooters, and there are [-] well-maintained flintlock guns that can be fired at any time.

This number can be increased by at least [-] a month this year, which is the net added value after subtracting the scrapped flintlocks during training.

The loaders are also 130 Lumi musketeers. This is the size of the Huang family's firearms squad that can carry out landing operations. There are [-] people in total. For the officer.

The firearms unit is a team taught by Huang Sheng himself. Of course, it will be taken wherever it goes, and this trip to Japan is no exception.

The heavy infantry spearmen brought 36 people from the general banner of Cheng Quangong, and the general banner of Li Dagang stayed behind.

The black tiger and the black panther went with sixteen knights. This time, there were no horses to ride, and they took part in the battle with foot archers.Han Kuan led half of the cavalry and left it to Huang Mingli.

There is no big problem in short-distance transportation of war horses, but it will be a big problem if they are drifting at sea for a month.

Therefore, it takes more than a month of recuperation and adaptive training for horses transported by sea to reach their destination before they can be used.

Heihu knew that the Lord had traveled thousands of miles to sea this time, and he knew the most about horses. He originally thought that there would be no possibility of the cavalry general banner following the Lord to set off, so he was depressed for several days.

Now I heard that the adults asked him to lead half of the people to fight on foot, and shoot with a stainless steel pulley bow as an infantry archer. I am very happy.

Said: "My lord, don't worry, Heihu assures you, the low-ranking cavalry can charge and kill the enemy as soon as they get off their horses, and the brothers can use the 'armor-piercing sharpshooter', and the three-person stabbing tactics are also very skillful!"

Huang Sheng looked at this simple-minded man, and said with a smile: "Heihu, I order you to shoot arrows obediently to cover the troops landing, and you are not allowed to charge to steal the battle exploits of the heavy infantry brothers. If you can't do it, you can stay at home." !"

Heihu became anxious, and said: "My lord, I will obey orders and obey orders, and you can do whatever you want!"

The medical team is led by He Xiang, a newlywed from Yaner. The family medical girl Li Guixiang is the adjutant. A total of seventeen women accompanied him.

Li Guixiang is nineteen years old this year, and she is very carefree in her work. She is not married yet, and she doesn't know if she looks down on his father's two apprentices who are planning to recruit a son-in-law.

Four warships, plus six rebuilt and powered horse boats, a total of 320 seven people including sailors and gunners participated in the military operation of fighting pirates and doing sideline business.

Sure enough, on July [-]th, Wu Xiang brought the official combat document ordering Huang Sheng's subordinates to chase down the ship Jiannu Xizuo was on.

When I came to Tianjin Weiwaihai and contacted the Li family who was in charge of the lead, I realized that there was no need for the warships of the Huang family to load. The three blessing ships had already packed all the goods and were waiting to go.

This is also the cleverness of the merchants. If the goods of the Huang family's 2 taels of silver are loaded on their own warships, and the things on the lucky boat have nothing to do with the Huang family, how can they do their best?
So they intentionally made no distinction between each other, you have me and I have you, or everyone can make money together, or everyone can be swallowed by pirates.

The young master of the Li family and those partners who came to see him off specially took a look at how Master Huang's fleet was. After seeing the warship of the Huang family, they became more affectionate towards Huang Sheng.

Huang Sheng didn't take it seriously at all, he always believed that in order for others to think highly of him, he must be superior.

With the display of one's own strength, other people's attitudes have changed. These are all expected things, and a word of strength is overwhelming.

The fleet was not delayed for a day, and thirteen large and small sea-going ships set sail immediately.

The Huang family's sea-going ship was originally ready to load, but it was empty now, it was too easy.

All sea-going ships are specially designed with fasteners that are easy to disassemble. All soldiers have undergone systematic training for splicing and dismantling.

Due to the large number of people and the boats connected together, the long voyage is not lonely at all.

In addition to studying and training, everyone also engaged in some cultural programs. Huang Sheng finally had enough time, and began to pay attention to the soldiers' learning, taking three classes in person every day.
