Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 486

Liu Tang said: "Brother, I personally feel that our islands have been developed too much. In the short term, manpower has been scattered too much. Yangma Island provides rice and war horses, and Dead Leaf Island raises cattle and provides rice and fish. And wood, this is enough. Now that the Ryukyu Island is being reclaimed, millions of people and more than 2 soldiers and horses have been scattered. If these people are militaristic, they can pull up at least 50 troops."

"Brother Liu Tang is right. There are so many developments in the early stage, mainly because there are too many refugees and refugees, and there is no place to resettle. After all, we only have a piece of land the size of a palm in Chaijiazhuang. If we don't go overseas, there is no room for development. It’s different now, we have Jingdong Road, we need to slow down overseas immigration, and don’t immigrate from our territory anymore. Your suggestion is very good, I plan to immigrate from Ryukyu Island from Suzhou and Hangzhou. Immigrants are [-], and the development Ryukyu Island."

"There are too many people in the same place, and it is easy to form a clan power, and the tail is too big. Why don't you join forces and transfer some people from Yangma Island to Ryukyu Island, and then transport some immigrants from Suzhou and Hangzhou to Yangma."

Chai Lin greatly appreciated that Liu Tang had grown up, and he was no longer the vagabond he used to be.

"It makes sense, it makes sense. The agricultural labor system is implemented now. Of the 1 workers in Sakhalin Island, only [-] will be left after the rice harvest, and the rest will be transferred to Yangma Island to work. If they settle down in the future, they will follow the According to the method you mentioned, there must be people from Hebei, Shandong, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang on an island, and a large number of people will live together, so local tyrants and clan forces cannot be formed, and everything must be under our control."

According to the current plan, Yangma Island focuses on raising horses, and Dead Leaf Island focuses on raising cattle. The planting is incidental, and there is no large amount of land reclamation.Only Ryukyu Island, which has a large area and abundant rainfall, mainly produces rice.

Of course, Liu Tang's proposal also has great limitations. As a general, his vision is far less broad than that of Chailin.

The current population of Jingdong Road is about 800 million, and there are relatively few old and weak people after the war. At least half of the population is childbearing.

With the settlement of the environment and sufficient food, the population growth will be explosive. After ten years, the population will reach 2000 million. The existing productivity and resources are difficult to support such a large population, so overseas development is required.

Just as Chailin's army marched west to Xixia, the First Fleet continued to explore south.

Now the First Fleet has sailed to the Jerboa Continent, and has chosen a good port in the north of the Jerboa Continent.

But it was too bad to find out here. Although the sea is rich in fish resources, there are especially many sea snakes.

Not to mention on land, there are all kinds of poisonous snakes, bats bigger than chickens, and mice as tall as a person, jumping around.Chickens are bigger than people, and they run fast with their long legs.By the time

However, the grasslands here are vast and there are many rivers.

The leader of the team was Xu Tanhai, the deputy captain of the First Fleet. Xu Tanhai was also courageous and ruthless. He led a hundred people and landed.

Landing on the soil in this area is really not good, it is shallow, and it can be reached to the bottom without digging a hoe.

"It's nothing. If you farm it, it must be nonsense. After two years of planting, there will be all sand left. Let's go. This place is not as valuable as a small island." Xu Tanhai felt a little regretful.

Captain Zhang was a young man from the fishing village of Zhangjiazhuang. The young man had attended a few lessons with Chai Lin.

Captain Zhang said: "Xu Tou, you can't farm here, but you can graze. If you raise sheep and cattle in this vast grassland, you can just lie down and make money. The only thing to do is to wipe out the poisonous snakes nearby."

"What you said is really reasonable. Go, you guys go and bring over dozens of goats from the No. [-] ship, and try to see if it suits you."

"Yes."

I went back to a centipede boat, and brought twenty goats for food on the boat, and put them on the grassland.

Everyone was busy nailing road signs and making marks, and then rode on the prairie horses with good endurance to search along the prairie.

The snakes here are really unbearable, too many.The horses would be stepped on if they were not careful, and a hundred cavalry walked slowly. Whenever they saw a poisonous snake, they would shoot them with a bludgeon. The sailors used shotguns, and the effect was very good.

All the way to the south, I came to a small hillside. The personnel in charge of prospecting were dumbfounded. The whole mountain was full of iron ore.

"Hahaha, iron ore, this place is full of iron ore, we are rich, and the bonus is [-] guan."

Xu Tanhai smiled and said, "Fortunately, I searched for it. I didn't expect it to be a treasure. It's not bad. Although there are a little more snakes, this iron ore is a good thing."

Accompanying cartographers draw maps and mark them.

When the group came back, twenty goats were grazing happily there.

Here is a natural harbor by the sea, named: Tanhai Harbor.

Chai Lin once said that whoever leads a team to explore has the right to name the port.Therefore, it is also within the power of Xu Tanhai to name this port.

Only one stele and twenty goats remained in the harbor.

Because he was going back to the voyage, Xu Tanhai did not stay long and returned north.

Later, due to the battle with Jin Guo, the development of Jumping Mouse Island was ignored.When the fleet came to Jumping Mouse Island again, they found that there were as many as [-] goats on the grassland near Tanhai Port.

This is not mentioned for the time being.

Twenty days later, Wu Yong led the army back to Cangzhou.

Chai Lin officially returned to the team and entered the city with an army.

The common people lined the road to welcome them, but seeing that there were many fewer soldiers, everyone was worried whether they had lost the battle.

Chai Lin explained at the gate of the city: "This time we went west, we defeated the Xixia army, annihilated the main force of the iron kite, took Haoshuichuan and Liangzhou City, and controlled the west to go to the Silk Road."

The folks felt relieved when Chai Lin said so.

I thought there were many dead.

If so, there are still hundreds of small boxes when entering the city, and these are all soldiers who died in battle.The family members of those who went to the expedition were all in fear, for fear that their relatives would not come back.

In war, there are no immortals in war.

It is impossible for Chailin to bring back every soldier, even if he has all the weapons.

When entering the city, each soldier carried a small box, which was a relic of the fallen warrior, and was brought back to be used as a tomb for the family members.

Followed by the heavy armored cavalry of Qin Ming and Lin Chong, and then the personal soldiers.

In fact, the military camp is outside the city, and entering the city is only to realize the military power and reassure the people.

The prefect of Qin was particularly excited. Although he knew the news a long time ago, the century-old border troubles of the Great Song Dynasty were relieved.

The small country of Xixia has lost two important places, and it is difficult to turn around again. This is a great credit, and it is no problem to leave a name in history.

woo woo woo woo.

Amidst the exciting sound of the bullhorn, the army entered the city.
