Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 559, Daming Yuxi

Fish Creek, later Kamchatka Peninsula.

In the small fish creek, there are many big boats parked.

Because there are too many ships going to the Golden Isle this time, and Fish Creek is not a large river, so many ships have no way to moor in it.

You can only choose to berth here at the estuary of Yuxi, and use the fresh water at the estuary to maintain the ship.

A ship that travels on the ocean for a long time will have a lot of marine life attached to the bottom of the ship.

Therefore, every time a ship arrives at a port, it will maintain the ship as much as possible, and one of the most important links is to remove the marine attached organisms on the bottom of the ship.

There are two main ways to remove them. One is to remove these marine attached organisms with a shovel or the like, and then repaint them for maintenance.

Another relatively simple and effective method is to moor the boat in fresh water.

Creatures in the ocean cannot survive in fresh water, so whenever they arrive at a resting port or the like, they will try their best to park in places such as river bends and sea outlets, so as to eliminate the ocean at the bottom of the ship. attached organisms.

"Haha, I finally came to Yuxi again~"

"Some of the wooden tents we stayed here last time are still there."

When they came to Yuxi again, Tian Erniu, Zhao Houzi, and Shaxiong were in a good mood. They came to Yuxi again after more than a year.

The scenes of arriving here last time are constantly recalled in my mind, vivid and very clear.

Tian Erniu looked at it carefully, and the Yuxi at this time was very beautiful.

The snow-capped mountains in the distance are as mysterious as virgins, with lush green grass everywhere, various flowers everywhere, groups of deer, and eagles soaring in the sky...

There is no trace of human smoke, it is all natural beauty, which is suffocating and shocking.

Soon, they came to the place where they rested at Yuxi last time.

Some traces of the original camping can still be found.

"Where are the fish in Fish Creek?"

"Where did they all go?"

Soon after, someone was surprised to find that there were no fish in the fish creek.

According to the nautical diary records of Du Mingen and others, this Fish Creek is full of fish, so it was called Fish Creek at that time.

But now, all of this is completely inconsistent with the legend.

Suddenly everyone panicked, especially those firms that were planning to come to Yuxi to mine gold.

The gold mines in Yuxi According to the sailing diaries of Du Mingen and others, the gold mines here are very rich, and there is a river full of gold sand.

There are no fish in this fish creek, could it be that this gold mine is also fabricated to deceive people?
Everyone couldn't help thinking of this in their minds, and then panicked.

You must know that these businesses have spent huge investments in order to obtain the mining rights of the Fish Creek Gold Mine.

First of all, you need to pay a one-time mining fee of one million taels of silver to the Ming court to obtain the gold mining rights of Yuxi. Secondly, the mined gold mine will be 2% of the gold mine, and 2% of the gold mine will be taken by the Ming court. The crew who discovered these gold mines accounted for 2%, and their mining companies only accounted for 4%.

It can be said that for these commercial firms that have obtained mining rights, their investment is very large, and the amount of funds required to organize manpower, equipment, and ships to Fish Creek is also very large.

Now that there are no fish in this fish stream, will there be no gold in this river?

The person in charge of a commercial firm hastily found Tian Erniu, wanting to ask about the situation.

"Captain Tian, ​​isn't this fish creek full of fish?"

"Why don't we find any fish at all in Fish Creek?"

Zhang Fu approached Tian Erniu anxiously and asked.

He is a branch of the British Duke Zhang Mao's family, and this time he also came here to be responsible for the gold mining here in Yuxi.

"It should be because of the season~"

"The last time we came to Yuxi, it was almost September, and it was autumn. When we arrived here, everyone needed to wear cotton clothes."

"It's only June, and we don't need to wear cotton clothes. It's a three-month gap."

Tian Erniu was also very surprised why the fish in the fish creek disappeared.

When he was here at Qianhekou in Huangjinzhou, he had also communicated with the descendants of the local Yin Shang. Here at Qianhekou, a large number of fish appear in the river every year.

So Tian Erniu also speculates that this should be related to the season.

"That's fine, that's fine~"

"There shouldn't be any problems with the gold sand in this river. If there is a problem with this gold mine, my little life will be gone."

Only then did Zhang Fu heave a sigh of relief, and then said hastily.

"There will definitely be no problem. There is no one inhabited here, and no one will take your gold mine away."

"Follow this route and climb over this mountain, you should be able to see the river full of golden sand."

Tian Erniu smiled and said, and then quickly pointed out the location of the gold mine.

He also has a share in this gold mine, although his shares are very small, very few, every crew member who went to Gold Island at the beginning has a share, but no matter how little meat, it is still meat.

What's more, this is still a gold mine. After one year of mining, it will definitely be able to get a lot of silver by then.

"Okay, okay~"

As soon as Zhang Fu heard this, he immediately sent people to investigate and confirm the gold mine.

After dealing with Zhang Fu, Tian Erniu also started to get busy.

The fleet will rest here for two days.

Others can rest and play as much as they want, but he can't.

Because he still shoulders the responsibility and clothes of building the transfer station.

Before he had time to take a breather, Tian Erniu began to organize people to conduct a comprehensive survey of the surrounding area, preparing to find a suitable place to build a colonial stronghold.

"The dimension here is too high, and the winter is very cold~"

"It was only September when we arrived last year, but it was already so cold that we had to wear cotton jackets."

"When you come again, the young master has already explained it, and you must fully consider this point."

"So our stronghold is best to choose here on the leeward slope of this hill."

"This place is the most ideal place. It is very close to the Yuxi Bay area. The overall shape is a horseshoe, surrounded by mountains on three sides. Only the south side has an exit. It is the most suitable place to build a colonial stronghold."

Soon, Tian Erniu selected a location and decided to choose the colonial base here.

"This location is indeed very good. In terms of housing construction, it is best to adopt the form of floor heating. The walls of the housing should be thick and thermal insulation design should be carried out."

"At that time, as long as enough wood or coal is stored, even in winter, this place can still survive."

Zhao Houzi nodded in agreement.

"Well, let's go ahead, hurry up, take advantage of everyone's presence now, work harder, work hard, work hard, and try to build a few piers here in the Bay Area within these two days."

"The two foreign countries are to pave the concrete road and lay a good foundation. After our fleet leaves here, the rest can be built slowly."

Tian Erniu nodded and immediately got busy.

Here at Yuxi River Bend, there is no need for Tian Erniu to order, everyone is already busy.

Those who set up the camp set up the camp, those who lighted the fire and started cooking, those who loaded and unloaded the goods began to load and unload the goods... Tens of thousands of people began to keep busy.

Bucket after bucket of cement was transported from the boat, and loads of river sand were dug out from Yuxi Creek. The cement and river sand were mixed together and stirred continuously, and the simple dock began to be built.

At the selected colonial stronghold, everyone waved shovels, shovels, etc. and began to dig the foundation; in the forest not far away, teams of loggers began to come here to log, and wood is absolutely an essential building material.

Before the thousand Japanese who arrived here with the fleet had time to take a breather and enjoy the scenery of Xiayuxi, the order from above came.

These Japanese people worked very hard. Under the leadership of their respective foremen, they received tasks one by one and began to keep busy.

The entire Fish Creek quickly turned into a busy construction site.

The fleet is well prepared, thousands of large ships can carry a huge amount of materials, and all kinds of materials are well prepared, plus there is the artifact of cement and tens of thousands of people.

In just one day, earth-shaking changes have taken place here in Yuxi.

A simple pier has been built here in Yuxi River Bend. When the ships are moored, it becomes more convenient and simple to load and unload goods. At the same time, a concrete floor is paved next to the pier, which is specially used to stack various materials.

Here at the mouth of Fish Creek, a lighthouse is under construction.

The lighthouse is absolutely indispensable. As long as there are people here in Yuxi in the future, there will be bright lights on the lighthouse at night to point people in the direction.

From the river bay pier, a brand new cement road stretches straight to the place chosen by the colonial stronghold. The cement on the cement road has not completely dried, but the feeling is completely different.

This place is no longer an uninhabited barren land, and from now on this place belongs to Daming.

In the place where the colonial stronghold was built, a large number of foundations had been excavated, and the surroundings of the stronghold had been surrounded by trees. Although there were no people in Yuxi, there were bears, so safety also needed to be considered.

At the main entrance of the stronghold, there is also an open space, paved with cement, and a tall wooden root is erected, and the dragon flag of Ming Dynasty began to fly from above, declaring Ming's sovereignty over this place.

At the same time, under the flagpole, on a stone tablet poured with cement, you can clearly see a few large characters engraved on it, Daming Fish Creek!

Next to the big characters, there is a line of small characters, which says that the Ming Dynasty was established in June of the thirteenth year of Hongzhi.

　From now on, every time I go to a place, I will piss to show that this is Daming's territory~
