Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 762

Xin'anyang City is located on the second largest island of the West Yindu Islands, and its location is probably Port-au-Prince, Haiti.

This place is under the jurisdiction of Xi Daying, and there are [-] Shenji camp infantry stationed there, together with the guards and their families, there are a total of more than [-] people.

More than [-] people sounded like a lot, but for such a big island, it wasn't much at all.

Because it is as big as two Dongfans, and there are several large plains, it is no problem to feed 2000 million people.

It's a pity that Daming doesn't have so many people working on development right now, and the labor force brought over from Dongyang is all concentrated on the main island for development, so more than [-]% of the cultivated land here is still vacant.

Of course, even if only less than [-]% of the arable land is developed, the garrisons, guards and their families here will not be able to eat up.

It is conservatively estimated that the island has more than 2000 million mu of cultivated land, and even if less than 100% of it is developed, it is at least about [-] million mu.

Moreover, the climate here is hot and the rainfall is abundant. It is no problem to grow rice for two or three seasons. Calculated in this way, the food produced on the island alone is at least two to three million shi. What's more, they also raised cattle, which Sun Chuanting returned They have several large fishing boats, and they are not short of fish and meat.

Life on this island can be said to be quite good, but the weather is too hot, which makes people a little unbearable.

Of course, they are not helpless.

For example, order a variety of fruits, dig more deep wells, and use the fruits that have been suppressed with deep well water to relieve the heat.

Another example is to dig more small ponds that are less than one person deep, cover the top with a shed, cover the surroundings with cement, and put stone slabs underneath.

If the weather is too hot, take a swim in it. It can not only relieve the heat but also practice water skills. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

In short, they are basically determined to live here for generations, and their children and grandchildren will reproduce here. Naturally, they have to try their best to build this place so that they can live comfortably and future generations can live here. Can enjoy.

When Taichang led the fleet to Xin'anyang City, he couldn't believe his eyes.

There are rows of fruit trees and swimming pools everywhere outside Anyang City. Moreover, the swimming pool is still the kind with a pergola. There are many men, women and children swimming, playing and eating fruits in it.

Uh, how is this the same as the tourist attractions of later generations.

He turned the binoculars to look at the well-equipped and energetic soldiers of the Shenji Battalion on the city wall and the pier, and at the ordinary people playing outside the city, a smile appeared on his face.

It is good that these people can live happily here. If the soldiers cannot see their families for many years, it may be difficult to guard here for a long time.

At this time, Zhang Mingshi, the guard in the city, had also received the news, and hurried over from the city with a group of generals.

The Emperor, with dreadnoughts and Aegis escorts, must be the emperor.

Sure enough, after the hanging ladder of the Emperor was lowered, the teams of imperial guards rushed down like a tide. Immediately afterwards, the emperor led a group of guards and the commander of Jin Yiwei, Luo Sigong, and others walked down with a smile.

Zhang Mingshi hurriedly led a group of generals to greet him, and said loudly on the ground: "The last general welcomes the emperor."

This Mingshi is a veteran of the Qi family army, so Taichang naturally knows him.

He hurried forward to raise his hands and said: "Mingshi, get up quickly, everyone get up, there is no need to be so polite."

Zhang Mingshi hurriedly said loudly: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After all, he got up from the ground with a group of generals.

Taichang looked at the beautiful scenery around him, and couldn't help admiring: "Mingshi, I didn't expect you to turn this place into a paradise. Not bad, not bad, really not bad."

Zhang Mingshi hurriedly said modestly: "The last general just saw that the weather here is too hot, and the family members of his soldiers are not as resistant to heat as us, so he ordered people to find a way to get something to cool off."

Taichang nodded slightly and said: "Well, your method is very good, I never thought that I would learn from you."

He really didn't expect it, otherwise, he would have built a swimming pool long ago, and the Xinma city is also hot!

Zhang Mingshi was so frightened that he hurriedly bowed his hands and said, "Oh, your majesty, you will never be able to bear what you don't learn. If you like this thing, I will send someone to dig it out for you, and then build a big shed." and surrounded it with a curtain."

Why dig a big one and surround it with a curtain?

Taichang looked at those men, women and children playing in the swimming pool, and he immediately understood.

The folks here don't need to care so much, anyway, even when they are swimming and playing, they still wear shorts and shorts, so it's no big deal for others to see.

However, the official ladies and female relatives value these things very much.

Almost all of those people didn't leave the door, and they didn't step through the second door, as if they were afraid of being seen by others.

This custom seems to be changing.

Taichang thought for a while, then asked, "Do you have a bigger pool here?"

Of course there is.

Zhang Mingshi was stunned for a moment, and then asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, do you want to soak in the pond?"

Taichang smiled and shook his head and said: "I don't have such leisure time, but do I have a wife and children? They must really want to play."

Uh, this is not appropriate, is it?

Zhang Mingshi hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, the last general is daring, there are too many people here, I'm afraid it's not good?"

Taichang still smiled slightly and said, "What's the matter? Didn't you say that it's fine if you surround it with a curtain?"

Alas, my stinky mouth.

It seems that the emperor has made up his mind and can no longer persuade him.

Zhang Mingshi thought for a while, and then shouted to the back: "Old Wang, isn't your pond the biggest? Hurry up and ask your two wives to take their children home to play. By the way, let your two go home first." The mother-in-law put the water in, brushed it well with soap locust powder, rinsed it several times before storing the water."

Hearing this, one of his guerrilla generals hurriedly said "obedience", and then ran towards the rows of swimming pools.

Taichang heard the words but said with great interest: "Can the water in this pool be changed at any time?"

Zhang Mingshi quickly explained in detail: "Yes, Your Majesty, these pools were originally dug next to the small river, and the terrain is relatively low.

Weichen specially ordered people to straighten the two sides of the river, and then covered it with cement. The water is still very clean.

Moreover, Weichen also ordered people to transplant many large fruit trees on both sides of the river, and the river is relatively cool.

We only need to open some holes on the embankment, and then add a gate in the pool to divert water at any time.

As for the release of water, Weichen ordered people to dig a lower ditch on the other side of the pond, leading directly to the sea.

In this way, we only need to open a hole and add a gate to let the water out quickly. "

Oops, that's a really nice design.

Taichang nodded slightly, and then raised his hand to let Liu Shiyou come over and confess a few words, and Liu Shiyou quickly walked to the Emperor.

After a while, a group of concubines came down joyfully with the prince and princess and a bunch of maids holding cloth.

Taichang couldn't play with them anymore, he could only raise his hand to beckon a female officer and explain a few words in detail, then ordered Liu Shiyou to take a team of eunuchs to protect them.

Looking at the cheerful steps of his wife and children, he couldn't help showing a smile on his face.

Zhang Mingshi stood there not knowing what to do.

Could it be that the emperor brought some empresses and princes and princesses to play?

It's really hard for him to ask.

Fortunately, Taichang immediately said solemnly: "Ming Shi, there is enough space on this island, and it will be no problem to bring in a few hundred thousand people, right?"

Is this how many 10 people are going to migrate?

Very good!
To be honest, there are tens of 10 people on such a large island, which is really too deserted.

Zhang Mingshi nodded repeatedly and said, "Your Majesty, there are a lot of places on this island. Except for the fertile fields within [-] to [-] miles around Xin'anyang City and several Acropolis, we have cultivated them, and more than [-]% of the other places are empty. of."

Taichang nodded slightly and said: "Well, as long as there is enough space, I plan to move tens of thousands of people here.

These people were originally captured by the colonists as slaves, and they hated those colonists very much.

We can take advantage of this, select the young and strong among them, drill them well, equip them with weapons and equipment, and then let them deal with the colonists. "

uh, slave?

Zhang Mingshi was taken aback when he heard this.

He really hadn't seen any slaves.

There may have been slaves on this island, but when they came, it was empty.

However, he is an expert at training soldiers and horses. The reason why Qi's army is powerful is not only because of its good weapons and equipment, but also its usual drills.

He froze for a moment, then asked, "Your Majesty, what weapons are you planning to equip them with?"

This is very important.

After all, the point of the drill is to let people know how to use the weapons in their hands to kill the enemy and save their lives on the battlefield.

Moreover, formation and weapons also have a lot to do with each other. The formations formed by teams with cold weapons and hot weapons are fundamentally different.

Taichang has considered this.

Without hesitation, he said: "Knives, guns, shields and black iron armor are a set for each person, and every [-] people are equipped with a thousand flintlock guns. In addition, I asked the Western Yin capital to build some muzzle-loading artillery and cannon carriages. For every [-] people, one hundred cannons weighing about [-] jin and ten cannons weighing about [-] jin would be enough."

Uh, isn't this similar to the Qi's army's equipment back then?

Zhang Mingshi thought for a while, and then asked: "Your Majesty, do you want to match chariots and horses?"

Taichang really didn't think about it.

They have no shortage of war horses. The Indian tribes in North America are breeding war horses crazily. I believe it will not be a problem to produce hundreds of thousands of horses every year.

As for the chariot, if it is a wooden chariot, it is easy to build.

Coincidentally, there are a lot of wood in Xinma City.

Taichang nodded slightly and said, "Then give them [-] horses and [-] wooden chariots for every [-] people."

This is almost the same as the Qi's army's equipment back then, and it's not too simple to practice.

Zhang Mingshi cupped his hands full of confidence and said: "Your Majesty, you can leave these people to the last general. The last general guarantees that within three years, they will be similar to the original Qi family army."

The Qi family army was invincible in land warfare back then.

However, facing Shenji Camp and Shenwu Camp at this moment, Qi's army must not be able to do it.

Because the equipment of Shenji Battalion and Shenwu Battalion is so good, the Thunder God Cannon alone can crush the original Qi's army.

Taichang nodded slightly, and then said to Luo Sigong, "Go and let them disembark."

Luo Sigong hurriedly ran to a nearby Aegis ship and yelled.

Soon, more than a dozen gun ports on the third floor of the Aegis ship were opened, and the black slaves inside poured out like a tide.

When Zhang Mingshi saw these black slaves, his eyes almost fell to the ground.

He thought that the emperor asked him to train with the Indians here, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be a bunch of black Kunlun slaves!
