Chapter 348: The Great Port Under Construction (Status Slag, Today
Chapter 348 The Dagang is under rapid construction (the state is in bad shape, I will update it today)
"It's a pity. If those damn prisoners of war hadn't dragged us here, how could the border town of Liaodong be allowed to let those Jianzhou female straights act so arrogantly?" Jinzhou guards cleared the mud, and a man wearing iron armor strangled him.
He got off his horse's head and looked towards the seashore where the waves were rolling. There, under the supervision of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, more than ten thousand Yuan and Mongolian prisoner-of-war laborers were gritting their teeth and pushing cartloads of soil and sand on the beach.
.
These Yuanmeng prisoners of war, who were originally dark due to wind, frost, rain and dew, originally only knew how to herd cattle and sheep, draw bows, kill people and set fires. At this moment, they can only grit their teeth for their own rations.
They started construction projects that they had never done before.
However, after nearly two months of suffering, except for a handful of Yuanmeng warriors who preferred freedom to resistance and were eventually dumped in the wilderness, the vast majority of Yuanmeng prisoners of war finally accepted their fate and lived honestly.
He devoted his efforts and sweat for this port named Dalian Port by the Emperor of Heaven.
"Yes, but we can't kill all the Tatars. Don't forget, His Majesty said that these Yuan-Meng prisoners of war, in addition to building a large port for our Liaodong Town, also need to be built on various coasts of the Ming Dynasty.
Province, build more ports, if too many people die, then where can we find such strong labor for free without paying for labor?" Sun Jing stroked his long beard and looked at this land that was originally just
What was once a run-down little fishing village is now occupied by thousands of Ming elites and more than 10,000 Yuan Mongolian prisoners of war.
What is being built here is not just a large port, it will also become a naval base in the northernmost part of the Ming Empire.
Although Sun Jing did not think that Ming Dynasty's navy could bring any benefits to the Ming Dynasty, Sun Jing was very happy to obey the will of Zhu Qizhen, the emperor of Ming Dynasty, who impressed him.
What's more, the people who built the port were all prisoners of war, unlike in the past where labor was heavily intensified, which aroused widespread resentment among the people. This made Sun Jing, who was a small soldier, quite sympathetic to the emperor's method of employment.
"In the past, when the Ming Dynasty captured prisoners of war, they would either kill them all, show benevolence and righteousness, and release them after warning, or they would be incorporated into the Ming Dynasty's army. These methods of disposal are not as wonderful as they are now." Just now.
The general who was gnashing his teeth and complaining couldn't help but sigh with emotion when he heard Sun Jing's words. "Speaking of which, since your majesty has such a military strategy, how could you let the treacherous eunuch king cheer up in that earthen fortress in the past?"
Such stupid actions caused the Ming Dynasty's two hundred thousand elite capital to disappear into smoke."
"...I think your Majesty's temperament changed drastically after the Northern Hunting. Otherwise, the emperor has been in power for more than ten years, and why has he not made any achievements?" Sun Jing thought.
After thinking about it, he couldn't help but shook his head and said doubtfully.

Then he looked at some of the ports on the coast that were beginning to take shape. He raised his hand and reined in the horse, turned the horse's head, and slowly went down the hillside. He said with a smile: "Let's go. At this time, it's time to start.
, I’m afraid it will take a day to get to the central left back of Jinzhou.”
"General, why don't you rest here for a few more days?" When the general saw Sun Jing about to leave, he couldn't help but asked loudly: "You have only stayed in Dalian Port for a few days, and you were so busy investigating that you didn't even get a good rest.
Just left in a hurry?"
"General Xu, Sun must complete this circle this month to see the progress of each place and the conditions of the prisoners of war. Only then will Sun be able to report to His Majesty so that His Majesty can feel more at ease."
He turned around and explained with a smile to General Xu, who supervised the construction of Dalian Port and monitored Yuanmeng prisoners of war.
"General, how long do we have to stay here?" General Xu couldn't help but asked Sun Jing angrily as he rode down the slope.
Sun Jing thought for a while and replied with a smile: "I'm afraid we have to stay in the south of Liaodong Town for more than half a year. Not only do we have to wait for these three ports to be completed, but we also have to wait for the dock at the mouth of the Yalu River south of Zhenjiang Fort to be completed.
."
"Actually, I think Dalian Port is a vast area and is more suitable for building a shipyard. Why do we have to go to the mouth of the Yalu River?" The general couldn't help but rolled his eyes and muttered to the side.
Sun Jing couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "You don't know this, haha. A few days ago, I just learned from the Ministry of Industry official who supervised the shipyard that all the shipbuilding timber used by His Majesty was taken from the Yalu River.
Upstream, cut down all the trees and let them flow into the river. With only a few people to control them, you can make countless giant trees flow down the river until they reach the mouth of the Yalu River. Someone will fish them to the shore."
"... All huge wood for shipbuilding needs soaking, drying and other processes. When it enters the Yalu River, it is naturally soaked for a while, and then placed in a repaired location at the mouth of the Yalu River to be stored and dried in the shade. It can be used when the dock is built.
I'm a talented shipbuilder, so I can do two things at the same time, but I don't know how much manpower and material resources are saved compared to transporting those giant trees from land to Dalian."
Hearing Sun Jing's explanation, General Xu couldn't help but say: "Who is this, who actually came up with such a wonderful method? It's really..."
"Haha, Wu Langzhong from the Ministry of Industry said that this policy came from His Majesty's mouth." Sun Jing stroked his beard and laughed. For this kind of statement, Sun Jing felt that it was a bit too exaggerated. Maybe it was someone who was good at it.
The plans proposed by officials from the Ministry of Water Conservancy or the Ministry of Shipbuilding were just deceiving people into thinking that Zhu Qizhen was a wise and powerful man.
After all, even though Zhu Qizhen was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he couldn't be ignorant of everything, right?
If Zhu Qizhen knew that Commander Sun was slandering him so much, he would definitely put on a look of great importance on his face, but he would definitely scold his mother in his heart. He is a time traveler from the future, and he has the ability to be an all-rounder.
What's so great?
If my brother hadn't graduated too long ago, if you met a top student who just graduated from high school, I'm afraid even ammonium nitrate would be produced for you.
At this moment, Zhu Qizhen, who was wearing a scarlet uniform, looked very excited. He led Zhu Jianshen, who was already able to run and jump, and was extremely strong, to the lakeside villa that had been completed but only needed interior decoration.
The steps were first the six-pole white marble steps, and then we stepped on the wooden front porch.
Looking at this ancient and scattered villa with a unique post-modern style, Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but feel happy. In his previous life, he was probably not even qualified to live in the basement of such a villa.
Unlike now, I am so open-mouthed that just a few months ago, a top-notch luxury lakefront villa in Beijing in later generations, which would probably cost more than 100,000 square meters, was built completely according to my own wishes.
Located in Zhongnanhai, the most famous political center in later generations.
When he thought of this, all the remaining pride in Zhu Qizhen's heart for future generations of ordinary citizens came out. "Haha, if my classmates see this, I don't know how many people will be envious, jealous, and hateful."
"Father? What do you mean, classmate?" Zhu Jianshen, who was standing next to Zhu Qizhen and looking curiously at the lakeside villa that was different from ordinary palaces and houses, couldn't help but raise his head curiously.
Asked Zhu Qizhen.

ps: Today's state is really bad. I have written a lot of useless manuscripts. It will definitely be better tomorrow. Please rest assured that two updates are the norm and one update is useless. Well, there will definitely be two updates tomorrow.
