Moreover, this kind of simple gunhouse with rammed earth as the wall and logs as the tower not only allows the flag army to live more comfortably, but also has good firepower!Two Franc machine cannons firing five taels of lead bullets, plus a firepower network composed of twenty or thirty flintlock guns, as long as hundreds of people don't rush up all at once, it is impossible to get close to them easily, or even conquer them. Don't even think about the little sheep touching the old buffalo!

In addition, it is not troublesome to make this kind of earth cannon building. The main building can be made of freshly felled wood. Anyway, it is not a shipbuilding house. There are plenty of trees, and no one dares to make noise when the time comes, and the earth fence and dormitory will be simpler. There are many new immigrants who can do mud and water work. Let them fill the middle of the double-layer wooden wall with mud. , although this kind of turret-style fortress looks silly and thick, it is practical!Don't you see Maozi's Yaksa City, with the strength of hundreds of people against Kang Xiaomazi's thousands of soldiers and horses, dozens of cannons attack without losing the wind, it is this kind of inconspicuous civil fortress that occupies it!

To sum up, the watch tower is an inexpensive and practical defensive structure!Therefore, Kang Lin deployed five such earthen fortresses in Tuoji Island and Dongyue Island in one go, and each earthen fortress stationed five elite bannermen, five ordinary bannermen, and twelve new immigrant youths. , a total of 22 people, with two Franc machine guns, twelve flintlock guns, and matchlock guns.Aborigines, no matter how powerful the pirates are, they can't take down such a well-defended and well-equipped bunker without heavy weapons. European white skins have always been wandering overseas, and they will never enter the Ming Dynasty's inland sea, Beihai.In this way, Chiyang can effectively control the surrounding land and sea area, and when the Incheon War starts, the Kanglin Division can further expand the scale of these earthen fortresses, and then only need to add some wooden fences and trenches , it can be used to detain the young and strong population captured from Korea, and store some reasonable burdens from the collection, which is extremely practical!

Alright, let's get down to business and turn our attention back to Kang Lin and his subordinates!On the afternoon of the 95th lunar month, Kang Lin turned his attention to the construction site of Dongyue Village after arranging the construction of the watchtower.That's right, the village drawn by the Farming Tribe card has only ten dwellings, and for the new immigrants with as many as [-] people, it is undoubtedly a waste of money!Therefore, Boss Kangda plans to build another batch of land nests to house other new immigrants. After all, the winter of the Little Ice Age is about to enter. If it is not done well, it will really freeze to death, and among many residences, only the diwozi is the easiest and most convenient to build.So Kang Lin, who had eaten his lunch roughly, ordered Gao Danian, a member of the logistics department, to lead a group of new immigrants, young and strong, to start chopping wood and digging holes in the earth, preparing to build a semi-underground residence, a diwozi.

Diwozi is a relatively simple way of living, and the digging method is relatively simple: dig a pit about one meter deep below the ground, square in shape, with an area of ​​about eight to twenty square meters, and build about about On the half-meter low wall, put a few rafters on the top, then build a raft made of branches, and finally cover the top with grass blades and mud.Diwozi can resist the common wind and sand outside, and it is warm in winter and cool in summer, but the ventilation is poor.It can be seen that this thing is actually not difficult to build. Therefore, after receiving the order from his leader, Gao Danian immediately began to direct a group of strong laborers to dig clay deep in the island to make the necessary materials for the construction of the nest. Adobe...

Not to mention the temporary craftsmen who were so busy that their feet didn't touch the ground. After issuing the order, Kang Lin, the hands-off shopkeeper, turned his attention to the military.Taking advantage of the early weather, he ordered the two bird ships in the fleet to go out of the waters of Ganghwa and Yeongjongdo to scout the deployment and defense of Goryeo's troops in the two places. The others temporarily stopped working and began to resume training. They will be dispatched within three days, and the target is Ganghwa Island, or Yeongjong Island!Therefore, from now on, the expeditionary army needs to collect a lot of information, whether it is military or economic, as long as it is helpful for the expeditionary army to carry out operations, all need to be collected!

"Old Fan, Captain Wan, what's the current situation of the bannermen?" Kang Lin tightened his grip as he watched the two bird boats under his command raise their high sails, cut through the sea waves, and disappear between the sea and the sky. Wearing a purple cloth cloak, he asked the two accompanying generals of the starting army without looking back.The war is coming, and he has to make sure whether his sons and daughters are ready for the war. After all, what they are going to face this time is not an ordinary indigenous tribe or a pirate force, but a country. It is weak, but it is still an independent country with three thousand miles of beautiful mountains and rivers. If there is a little carelessness, Chiyang, who cut down the big trees with a small knife, may be smashed into the sand during this expedition. Therefore, Kang Lin couldn't help Deploy carefully and proceed with caution!

"My lord, the Elite Banner Army (Ordinary Banner Army), the Iron Man Army has made all pre-war preparations and is ready to wait for your orders at any time!" Fan Huzi and Wan Hong are all in full armor, and at this moment they heard their leader asking , not daring to be negligent at the moment, he immediately stepped forward to salute and gave an affirmative answer. Both of them were veterans who had been in battle for a long time, so they have been strictly managed since they boarded the expedition fleet's flagship "Adventure". , to train the banner troops under their command, and the gang of men under them are also very competitive. Not only is the military appearance clean, but the training is also very hard. In short, Kang Lin wants to ask whether the banner troops are worthy of battle, so it is most suitable to find them.

"Okay, then you should gather your subordinates together and temporarily train the cooperation between the arms, and Yan Zanhua, you are from the Denglai army, and you have been trained by the French robot gunnery instructor, let us go on an expedition Let's grab the gunners of the army! Everyone, time is tight and the task is heavy. As the leader of the fleet, Kang begs everyone to work together to overcome the difficulties! Please, everyone!" Nodding to show that he is very satisfied, Fan, Wan After the two answered, Kang Lin turned his attention to Yan Si, the captain of the fleet, the deputy in charge of the personal guards, and the temporary commander of the artillery army. This fellow is not only the best artilleryman in the entire fleet, but also He has studied under Portuguese military instructors in Macau, so Chiyang’s artillery units are generally under his command, and the infantry has already made all preparations for the next expedition, so the former hopes that Yan Si can complete the preparation work as soon as possible. At least until the start of the war, the Chiyang Artillery Army must be able to cover the infantry's siege and suppress the enemy's already poor and scarce firepower, thereby reducing the loss of Chiyang's vital forces.

"We are willing to serve our lord (the leader) to death!" Kang Lin gave an order, and the entire Chiyang war machine started instantly!After a burst of promises sounded, the officers of the Chiyang Infantry, Navy, and Artillery Army all stepped forward to agree to their errands without mentioning them. At the next moment, Kang Lin contacted the system again and asked him to open the treasure chest. One of the rewards appeared in front of everyone, it was a boat experience card, an experience card for a sloop!This shocked all the officers present. They have seen Kang Lin conjure living people, weapons, and even cabins out of thin air, but they have never seen him conjure an eight to ten feet long ship with a reclining A strange ship with one or two white square sails and a large gaff mainsail!This thing is called a strange ship because the hull of an ordinary Chinese ship is by no means as sharp and streamlined as this ship, and its sails are also very interesting. The horizontal sail made of canvas and the huge triangular sail make the whole Regardless of the crosswind or tailwind, the ship can achieve a huge sail area to push the hull forward. Its iconic long bowsprit is like a sharp sword piercing the front. The large-area bowsprit sail on it It provides excellent steering and headwind sailing performance. In addition, this kind of ship is also well armed. Its displacement does not exceed [-] tons. It actually has six to eight gun ports. Put the cannon on.Although the largest artillery equipped is only a nine-pound gun, it is enough to stand out from the crowd in the environment of East Asia. After all, its purpose is "I can't beat me if I can beat me, and I can't beat me if I can beat me". If it is full of sails, ordinary ships really can't catch up with it, and if it slows down and fights with the enemy's artillery, it will fall apart like the one or two on the East Asian ocean that fires four-jin heavy iron bullets. Thin wooden boats, you can’t get any bargains when you encounter them. Not only can you not get any bargains, once you get entangled in it, you can shoot it with a row of cannons, and the planks of the ship may break into water and capsize. Therefore, this kind of boat is very suitable. Be the pirate ship on the Sea of ​​Laughter, or their opponent, the main warship of the Colonial Government's Marine Guard.

Therefore, in any case, the Sroop sloop is a relatively excellent warship. The only fly in the ointment is that the ship experience card can only keep the ship in this world for one month, and the ship will disappear when the time is up. Moreover, the maintenance fee of [-] merit points will be consumed every day during the storage period of the ship. In case of war, the maintenance fee will be doubled, but it is all worth it, because the two nine-pound guns and four six-pound guns equipped on the bare ship The pound gun is worth the ticket price, not to mention the ship's thick plank, which is made of oak or teak wood that the white skins use to build ships. Chiyang can use it as a meat shield and firepower platform. Anyway, in the end They are all going to disappear, so helping the thin-skinned Chinese-style sailboat to block the lead guns before that should be its final fate...

However, there is one more thing that needs to be resolved before that, and that is the handling of the boat!The sailors under Kang Lin's command are good at Chinese-style sailboats with hard sails and big oars, but they don't know anything about European-style sailboats with soft sails and heavy guns!Therefore, Kang Lin had to release the sloop ahead of time to let all the sailors under his command get used to it, and the current scene also confirmed from the side how correct his thinking was!
