The moon surges across the river, and the Jinhai takes advantage of the moonlight to sail toward Guanyin Beach..com
Even though she misses all kinds of lovesickness, in front of everyone, Liu Yue'er restrains the swelling emotions in her heart. According to the rules, she is a concubine and should not be exposed with Lin Fu. It's just that Lin Fu wants her to go to Xisha Island together.
, how could she refuse?
Prison Island is likely to be abolished. Yue Lengqiu will use his power to set up various obstacles to the development of the river mouth. Besides, Chongzhou needs more manpower. In addition to people from the Xihe Society and the Sun family, people like Wu Yanqing, Wu Jiye and his son, and Zhao Zuigui
Er and others also came to Chongzhou, and the old engineer Ge Fu also came to Jiangning with the unfinished "Annotations on the Craftsman's Sutra".
The Xihehui and Sun family members, plus some family members of Jiangdong Zuojun generals and Jiyun military guards, moved nearly 9,000 people to Chongzhou at one time, which was not easy.
In Jiangning, Ge Cunxin, Lin Jingzhong, Zhao Hu, Ge Cunxin and others organized more than 300 boats. In addition to Sun Wenbing who brought back more than 200 fine cavalry from Jiangning in advance, there were nearly 600 Jiyun military guards, prison island warriors and Lin Jiayong Yong.
They were sent together, led by Zhao Hu, who acted as guards. Lin Jingzhong also accompanied them to Chongzhou. It was not until Ge Cunxin led his soldiers upstream to meet them that they felt relieved and the journey was smooth.
After investing a lot of money, the Guanyintan Pier has been initially built, with two horizontal embankments and a sloping embankment on the outside, forming a dock about two hundred steps wide and three hundred steps deep in front of Guanyintan.
The capacity of the dock is limited, and there is simply not enough space for more than 300 ships to dock at the same time. However, for more than half a year, Fu Qinghe organized manpower to dredge a natural shallow river to meet the needs of irrigation, drainage and transportation of materials to the island, forming a
A main canal was dug across the central part of Xisha Island. The canal was dug, and the waterway distance from Guanyin Beach to South Beach was shortened to eighteen miles, and the waterway distance to Haiyu County, Pingjiang Prefecture on the south bank of the Yangtze River was shortened to less than forty miles.
The north entrance of the canal is just inside the Guanyintan dock. The river is usually closed with an iron pontoon bridge. The pontoons are connected by two solid and fortress enclosures standing on the river bank. The enclosures also directly form the blockade and defense of Guanyintan.
At this time, the iron cable pontoon bridge was opened, and more than 300 ships sailed from the mouth of the river to the island to berth. The more than 300 ships were connected prow to stern, and were almost six or seven miles long. Sufficient arrangements were also made on Xisha Island.
In preparation, Fu Qinghe, Sun Jingxuan, Sun Jingtang and others were all on the island. At this time, the torches placed along the river embankment were also lit to guide the ship to the island. Lin Fu and the others waited on the Jinhai for two hours.
, just by Guanyin Tanwu Port.
The draft of the Jinhai is too deep and cannot enter the canal, so it can only berth at the dock.
When Lin Fu and the others went ashore, they also walked to the embankment of the canal to see the arrangements being made ashore. The moonlight became brighter and brighter as it reached the zenith, shining on the canal, swaying with sparkling waves, and countless torches reflected in the river water.
Like a red star, Liu Yue'er stood beside Lin Fu, feeling excited and excited.
Xiaoman still has the heart of a child. Looking at the straight and wide river leading to the island, with the moonlight and firelight shining brightly, it is very beautiful, so he asked: "What is this river called? This is the first river we have seen in Chongzhou."
Heli, please remember it well."
"It used to be a shallow river that didn't run through the entire island. It had a very vulgar name. It has only been dug for a month and I haven't thought of a new name yet..." Lin Fu said.
"How about calling it Yue'er River?" Xiaoman said, "This way, I can imprint Sister Yue'er's name on it."
"What nonsense are you talking about..." Liu Yue'er tugged on Xiaoman's clothes to stop him from talking nonsense.
"How about calling it Xiaoman River?" Lin Fu said with a smile, "Nankouzi doesn't have an official name yet, so it's called Yue'ertan!"
"How can you be so messy about naming places?" Liu Yue'er blushed with embarrassment and complained in a low voice that Lin Fu was making fun of her and Xiaoman.
"Why not?" Fu Qinghe laughed and said, "Then it's settled!"
Xisha Island is considered a newly created land, and the places on the island have no names, or they have very vulgar names, which is very inconvenient. When making the map, many places were just code names, which is not conducive to memory.
Even the name of Xisha Island is quite tacky. Just because there is a smaller river island in the east river named "Dongsha", it was named "Xisha". Fu Qinghe and others had long had the idea of changing the name.
, but these are minor things, don’t bring them up in a hurry.
In front of Fu Qinghe, Liu Yue'er was quite reserved and blushed. She wanted to say "no" but didn't know how to refuse. Seeing that Lin Fu was also very interested, she didn't want to spoil their fun. Xiaoman thought about a river
He was named because of himself, so he was naturally very excited.
Seeing her like this, Lin Fu jokingly said to Fu Qinghe: "One day, the river at the west end of the island will be dug out, and it will be called Daman River. The larger one and the smaller one will match each other..."
"No, the name Daman River is so unpleasant." Xiao Man immediately protested.
Xisha Island sent enough manpower to accommodate the people from Jiangning. Lin Jingzhong, Sun Wenbing, Zhao Hu, Ge Cunxin and others were able to rest for the time being and came to see Lin Fu.
Zhao Hu's family continues to stay in Jiangning, and Lin Jingzhong will also stay in Jiangning. However, Lin Jingzhong's parents and younger sister also moved to Chongzhou this time and came to meet them together.
"Will the marriage between Jingzhong and Wenpei be held here?" Lin Fu helped Jingzhong's parents and prevented them from saluting. He was concerned about the marriage between Lin Jingzhong and Sun Jingtang's daughter Sun Wenpei. "In this case, no matter it is
It would be more convenient for Wen Pei to stay in Chongzhou to take care of you two elders, or for Wen Pei to go to Jiangning to take care of Jingzhong!"
"Everything is up to you, sir!" his father in the scene fawned honestly, and Sun Jingtang decided the matter.
Although there is still more than half a month before the agreed wedding date, Lin Jingzhong cannot make a special trip to Chongzhou after half a month. Everything must be done according to authority, and personal marriages must be subject to the overall situation.
"Then just wait two days for Zhou Pu and the others to return to Chongzhou. This is a big happy event for the Lin family, and it is also the great Xihe of the Xihehui Sun family. We can't let the more than a thousand Xihehui descendants not have their wedding wine on the road!" Lin Fu said with a smile!
, saw Sun Jingtang’s concubine Zhao standing behind, and bowed to her, "Aunt Zhao has worked the hardest this time, Lin Fu salutes you!"
"I don't dare to take it seriously. Your Majesty is trying to kill me." Aunt Zhao hurriedly bowed her head and returned the greeting.
When the cauldron was launched, almost all the young and strong men of the Xihe Hui were dispatched with the cauldron. When the Changyi mutiny occurred, Sun Jingxuan, Sun Jingtang, Sun Wenyao and other leaders of the Xihe Hui were imprisoned. Sun Wenbing and Sun Wenwanchi went to Jinhai to rescue them and presided over Xihe in Jiangning.
It was actually Sun Jingtang's concubine, Aunt Zhao, who was in charge of the meeting.
Although Aunt Zhao was married to Sun Jingtang as a concubine and had no children, her status in Xihehui was even higher than that of Sun Jingtang's wife who had no door and no family. Xihehui was destined to be a member of the Yunchaohe Gang.
It is necessary to have a capable and authoritative woman to take charge of the rear.
Sun Wenbing also rushed back to Jiangning after suppressing the mutiny of the Qingzhou Army. That was also after early April. Before that, there were more than 6,000 family members of the Xihe Society who stayed in Jiangning. In fact, before Sun Wenbing rushed back to Jiangning
, were all moved to the mouth of the river for temporary resettlement. In addition to the fields and houses, other portable belongings were also moved. Hundreds of private ships under the Sun family were also moved to Jiyun before Yue Lengqiu sent people to seize them.
Under the name of the company, it can be said that Aunt Zhao takes the greatest credit.
Lin Fu also lamented in his heart that there may not be many literate people in Xihe Hui, but traveling all over the country has given many of them actual experience, vision, and knowledge that are far beyond those of ordinary isolated villagers.
Whether it is Sun Jingxuan, Sun Jingtang, Sun Wenyao, Sun Wenbing or Sun Wenwan, or Aunt Zhao in front of me, as well as many leaders of the Xihe Society, they are all very capable people.
Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages. The Xihe congregation is somewhat tainted with Jianghu atmosphere and is more tactful and worldly than the simple villagers. Lin Fu prefers to temporarily recruit only the lowest-level simple congregants to join the Jiangdong Left Army, except for those who are actually capable. He is relatively tactful.
The secular leaders, large and small, are temporarily incorporated into the Jiyunshe merchant fleet. If they can be gradually transformed, they will be used at the local grassroots level.
Lin Fu saw Ge Fu, Zhao Zui Gui'er, Wu Yanqing, and Wu Jiye leading the craftsmen and medical apprentices coming here, went down the river embankment, picked them up, and said, "Can the old engineer and Mr. Wu come over?
What an unexpected surprise!”
"If Prison Island is to be evacuated, the medicine garden cannot be saved," Wu Yanqing said with a smile, "I came here, but I want you to ask for a bigger piece of land to turn into a medicine garden!"
The news of Xiao Xuanchou's memorial requesting the reopening of the Prison City at the mouth of the Chongzhou River has spread in Jiangning. Even Changsun Geng also wrote to inquire about whether to stay or leave. He also expressed his clear hope that he could be transferred to Chongzhou after the Prison Island was dismantled.
The old engineer Ge Fu said: "I am used to living next to Yanqing," and asked in a lowered voice, "Is there any place where my old bones will be used in building a new city in Chongzhou?"
Ge Fu is considered to be a master of craftsmanship. He does not know a word, lacquer, pottery, and kilns, but he is the best at construction. He has built countless roads, bridges, palaces, and courtyards in his life. However, due to the limitations of the times, he has not had the opportunity to build a city. Chongzhou
If the city is destroyed, a new city must be built. It is no wonder that he abandoned his family and came to Chongzhou, just hoping to seize the opportunity to preside over the construction of a new city in Chongzhou.
"Then the old engineer and Mr. Wu will live with me on the north bank!" Lin Fu said.
This was the second day after the Jiangdong Left Army landed in Chongzhou. In order to delay some time, Lin Fu's submission to the county magistrate was delayed until this afternoon.
The enemy's report to avoid fighting was delayed until nightfall. However, Yue Lengqiu should have already known what happened in Chongzhou yesterday, but the county magistrate's opinions on the handling of various affairs in Chongzhou will not be fed back to Chongzhou until the day after tomorrow at the earliest.
Lin Fu wanted to fight for two or three days to determine the overall situation of Chongzhou County.
Ge Fu and Wu Yanqing were both old, so Lin Fu first arranged for them to rest in the enclosed buildings. In addition to the enclosed buildings in Guanyin Beach, there were also fifty or sixty large enclosed houses radiating to the island mainly along the canals and tributaries.
, here they are also eager to free up twelve large enclosed houses to temporarily accommodate people from Jiangning.
Assuming that each enclosed house accommodates 80 to 100 households, twenty to thirty additional enclosed houses are actually needed to be built on the island. Of course, considering the needs of actual defense, the enclosed houses are mainly clustered along Guanyin Beach.
This time, 9,000 people have moved from Jiangning. Together with the Xihe congregation that will soon join together, the number of people living in Dingkou in Guanyintan will reach more than 34,000.
He called Lin Mengde, Cao Ziang, Hu Zhiyong, Sun Jingxuan, Sun Jingtang, Sun Wenbing, Lin Jingzhong, Zhao Hu, Ge Cunxin, Ge Cunxiong and others to his side, and said: "We will discuss the defense matters specifically in the next few days and leave them alone for the time being."
Regarding the civil affairs, I would like to aggrieve Mr. Sun. For the time being, Zhiyong should give priority. After all, Zhiyong is familiar with the situation on the island. He should first resolve the resettlement matter and don’t relax on the matter of planting mulberry cotton..."
Lin Fu expressed his thoughts on the arrangements for the Sun family these days: "... Jingzhong wants to go back to Jiangning, and Zhao Hu will go back first. He must wait for the prison island matter to be finalized before making any arrangements. From Jiangning to Chongzhou
I want Wen Bing to be in charge of Yangtze River shipping and supervising shipbuilding at Longjiang Shipyard, and Cunxiong will come to Chongzhou. The water camp must be formally established here, and a general like you is indispensable."
"...I asked Miss Sun to build a women's camp in Zilang Mountain, and I would like to ask Aunt Zhao to help her." Lin Fu said, he did not want the womanly Aunt Zhao to stay in the house without opening the door after arriving in Chongzhou.
Sun Wenwan is young after all, and Lin Fu cannot put all the burden of the female camp on her shoulders. The fourth lady will stay in Jiangning for the time being, and Aunt Zhao is a more suitable candidate than Sun Wenwan. However, due to her status, she still needs to
Sun Wenwan took the lead and asked Aunt Zhao to assist her.
Zhao was a little hesitant. She showed up in the Xihe Society to preside over affairs. That was the special need of the Xihe Society. But now that the Xihe Society was disbanded and integrated into the Jiangdong Left Army, she was just Sun Jingtang's concubine. In the eyes of the world, she should be
Keep your duty and stay in the house.
Sun Jingxuan said: "We also need to ask Aunt Zhao to help Wan Niang."
"Thank you, sir, for your trust, sir." Aunt Zhao agreed.
"Wait until Wen Yao recovers from his injuries and see if he can adapt to traveling by sea before we deal with it!" Lin Fu said, traveling by sea is much more complicated than traveling by inland river, and the compound schooner is much more complicated than the ordinary inland river sailing ship. Ge Cunxin,
It also took Ge Cunxiong a long time to adapt to commanding a fast sailing ship like the Dongyang. It is difficult to say at this time whether Sun Wenyao and other Xihe congregants can adapt to sea navigation well. The Longjiang Shipyard is under the Jiangning Ministry of Industry and is not yet under the supervision of the Jiangning Ministry of Industry.
Yue Lengqiu's control.
After the great victory in Yangxin, Lin Fu transported thousands of foreign horses to Chongzhou, Weiyang, Jiangning and other wealthy places for sale. In exchange for the money, he ordered a large number of ships from Longjiang Shipyard. He had already added a five-year-old horse to Longjiang Shipyard.
Thousand Stone Sea Ship, four Thousand Stone Sea Ship. The total capacity of the ships under construction is about 20,000 stone. But to maintain such a water camp, Lin Fu must also build a small and medium-sized ship on Xisha Island.
and a dock for repairing large seagoing ships.
"...Zi'ang, Uncle Mengde needs help. I have to apologize to Mr. Jingtang and stay with me for now." Lin Fu said again, temporarily arranging the affairs of the Sun family... ,!
