Once I clicked on it, the wrong chapter content will be downloaded and entered into the mobile phone cache. At this time, even if I modify the mobile client, it is still the wrong content and will never change.

There are few people reading niche books and are rampant. There is no way to do so. If you don’t do this, you can’t make it. I’m sorry.

*********************************************************

After negotiating the conditions with the British Abraham, Xu Xin was a little excited. He walked around the room, constantly weighing the gains and losses. Judging from the current situation and the information he had, the contradiction between the British king and the enlightened nobles of the parliament and the emerging bourgeoisie was very sharp. Based on the principle that the enemy's enemies are friends, the British king and the church can barely be regarded as "ally" that the people of the East Coast can use. Selling weapons to them at preferential prices is a sure thing for the East Coast.

After all, these weapons are not used to fight the East Coast, they will only be used against Scottish heretics and parliamentary factions. If the British king is helping to strengthen his military equipment as soon as possible, so that he can stand firm for longer or even turn his character back, the East Coast will make a fortune.

Of course, selling weapons to the royal party cannot be completely confidential. After all, the reputation of the "Tartan Cannon" is not a big deal. Parliamentary factions will easily discover the source of the king's weapons, which will inevitably lead to their hostility. But so what? The East Coast and the British bourgeoisie are in an endless competitive relationship. Even if the two sides sign a peace agreement today, everyone knows that this will only be temporary, and sooner or later the two sides will have another conflict, which is almost inevitable.

Therefore, Xu Xin decided to continue to make things difficult for the enemy. What's more, the profits of this business are not bad. The British royalists would send ships to Bordeaux to pick up goods, so what else can hesitate?

The only thing that I have to worry about now is when the local ships will come. The East Coast Commercial Station in Bordeaux has been expanded several times and has occupied a large area, but it still cannot accommodate thousands of bankrupt workers and their families, as well as more than 300 stray children who have been sheltered in the past six months. As a last resort, Xu Xin even bought land and built a house in the countryside of Bordeaux through Julian's connections to resettle these people.

The daily expenses of eating, drinking, defecation and urination of more than a thousand people are quite large. Even if there is nearly 20,000 francs in the warehouse of the commercial station, it is a bit unbearable. It is not a good thing to sit and eat empty-handed.

"I hope the war will end soon and the local transport ships will arrive as soon as possible." Xu Xin could only comfort himself like this.

Just as Xu Xinnian was talking about the local transport ships, the three transport ships of the South China Sea Transport Company (the "Abbot" was also incorporated into the company's fleet) were now anchored in the dock of the river in South Africa. Since the Navy Guinea Task Force completed supply in the port in early September and sent a group of wounded and sick people to the fort to be placed, the remaining five warships set off again and disappeared into the vast sea.

After attacking the British East India Company's trading fleet in the northwest of the Cape of Good Hope, the five remaining warships of the Navy did not dare to stay here. In order to avoid possible encirclement by the British, they began to "run away". The fleet that ran away went north, sank a British slave ship outside the Portuguese Luanda, and then turned to the southwest and disappeared from everyone's sight.

It is the end of October today, and I don’t know where the navy has gone, how to replenish fresh water, food, vegetables and ammunition, and how to resettle wounded and sick. It’s not easy to fight guerrillas. There must be many supply points near the coastline, otherwise I will kill myself if I run a long distance.

The Navy's affairs were not in charge of Hezhongbao, and they had their own worries at this time.

Mo Ming sat in his bedroom and office in Hezhong Fort, carefully looking through the account books in his hand, and frowned secretly. Three transport ships of the South China Sea Transportation Company were parked in the port, with more than a hundred sailors, hundreds of British and Dutch prisoners and more than one hundred wounded and sick people placed here by the task force. In addition, a security company that stayed here to reduce consumption, the food, drinking, and defecation of these 500 people became a heavy burden on Hezhong Fort.

After all, there are only more than 100 formal residents of Hezhong Fort, and now only 500 acres of wheat fields and 200 acres of vegetable fields have been opened. Moreover, it has been less than two years of development. Many local people think that Zhonghezhong Fort can be self-sufficient and not reach out to the center, it will be a burning incense. If they can provide some fresh water, meat and vegetables for the past naval fleet, they can even get full marks. After all, they had only 150 residents at first and knew nothing about the local situation. Indigenous people and diseases may defeat them. Whether they can stand firm is completely between the two.

However, the facts proved that Mo Ming and Liu Ang, the leadership team of Hezhongbao, were very capable. With their efforts and the help of the initial construction team and the navy, they not only successfully established strongholds and docks here, but also reclaimed hundreds of acres of farmland, and initially achieved self-sufficiency.

However, this kind of self-sufficiency is also limited. Hezhongbao barely survived by farming and trade with some Koisan men and the black tribes of Bantu, which were farther away, and some food and supplies were accumulated slightly. The accumulated food was naturally free of any problem to supply the passing fleets, but the long-term supply of hundreds of people was a little overwhelmed.

This is also what Mo Ming is worried about at this moment. He roughly reviewed the bill and found that the grain reserves had dropped to a dangerous level. Among them, wheat was less than 10,000 kilograms, and there were nine cows, sixteen pigs and more than 40 sheep. It was completely fantasy to rely on this little grain to survive the summer harvest.

Mo Ming thought for a long time and felt that the only solution to the problem was to ask the heroes and black tribes around him to "borrow" food. Of course, this kind of "borrow" will naturally not be returned, and the process is destined to be peaceful. Because these heroes or black people are not having a good life now, especially those bitter Koisan red people. They live by hunting and gathering wild fruits alone and have no food reserves at all. But those Bantu Hei who like to burn the wasteland and farm and grazing

People may have some food. "We are not here to teach you the Virgin Mary to enter the civilized world." In Mo Ming's view, these barbarians will eventually be massacred and enslaved by the Dutch, so there is no need to feel guilty about doing something at this time. Perhaps one day after the East Coast people occupy this vast land, they can drive these Bantu blacks and Coisan reds to the desert or jungle in the north, and then teach them some civilized lifestyles more or less.

Mo Ming is now the captain of the South African pioneer team. He is responsible for all matters in Hezhong Fort, and even the three transport ships of the South China Sea Transportation Company and a company of army soldiers that were temporarily stationed here are under his control.

In this way, the plan to rob the neighbouring Bantu was decided. The troops set out to fight were mainly composed of the Army Security Company, supplemented by some local East Coast militias as guides and baggage soldiers, plus a few Koysan slaves and servants in Hezhong Fort, with a total force of about 200. They were equipped with more than 100 flintlock rifles, several artillery and many armor, and there was a significant weapon generation difference between the Bantu blacks wearing animal skins and holding spears. This powerful force in South Africa was enough to sweep any nearby force at this time.

For hundreds of years, these Bantu blacks with migratory habits began to enter the vast South African region from north to south. Whenever they arrived, they began to burn the wasteland, then planted sorghum on the land after the fire, and grazed some cattle and sheep. From this, it can be seen that the civilization level of these Bantu blacks was higher than that of the indigenous Koisan Reds in southern Africa. Their physiques were taller and stronger than the generally short reds, which was why they gradually gained the advantage in South Africa. In later history, the Koisan Reds in South Africa were almost extinct under the joint strangulation and squeeze of the Dutch colonists and the Bantu blacks, and most of the rest fled to the neighboring Botswana region.

Deep in the southwest of South Africa, the area around the river is mostly surrounded by the territory of the Red Coisans, but there are also some small Bantu black migratory tribes far to the east. The Coisans relied entirely on collecting mushrooms, wild fruits and other foods, as well as hunting some animals such as hares, antelope, and bison to survive. The living environment and conditions were extremely difficult.

After the arrival of the East Coast people, their traditional living habits were affected to a certain extent. To be precise, it seemed that living conditions had improved. They could use the fur they obtained after hunting animals to exchange for food and tools such as knifes with the East Coast people, and they could also use some golden "stones" such as dog-headed gold that they picked up to exchange food with the East Coast people. Each piece of dog-headed gold can be exchanged for three to five times the weight of cured meat from the East Coast people, which is very "cost-effective".

Of course, not every Koisan tribe trades with the East Coast people in a regular manner. Some of the Koisan tribes, which are self-reliant, try to attack the East Coast people's strongholds, but now their tribes have become passing by, and most of their members have been killed or become slaves.

The bitter Koisans have no oil or water to scrape. To solve the predicament of Hezhong Fort, they have to think of ways to go east to the black tribes of Bantu. Those black tribes have the habit of growing sorghum, and it is observed that the sheep and cattle sheep they grazed are also very large. If they eat them all, the seized cattle and sheep food is enough to support Hezhong Fort's expenses for more than one year, and the business is still very cost-effective.

Although they have no grudges and even get along well with these black men in Bantu, who says they are short of food now, then they can only attack you. After all, the barbarians have no human rights in this era of the strong prey on the weak.

"We are not here to teach you the Virgin Mary to enter the civilized world." In Mo Ming's view, these barbarians will eventually be massacred and enslaved by the Dutch, so there is no need to feel guilty about doing something at this time. Perhaps one day after the East Coast people occupy this vast land, they can drive these Bantu blacks and Coisan reds to the desert or jungle in the north, and then teach them some civilized lifestyles more or less.

Mo Ming is now the captain of the South African pioneer team. He is the subject of all matters in Hezhong Fort. Even the three transport ships of the South China Sea Transportation Company and a company of army soldiers that were temporarily stationed here were subject to his restraint. Of course, he also exchanged the difficulties and his plans for the Hezhong Fort in advance with Lieutenant Xie Han3 of the company commander of the Public Security Army Company and Lieutenant Lan Guo, deputy company commander, and obtained their support.
