Chapter 58 Layout and Compromise

I have tried my best to choose when it is late at night. At this time, few people can watch it at the fastest, usually it will be at least half an hour before it can be modified to the correct content.

It's okay to read on the computer, and it's okay to automatically subscribe with the mobile app. As long as I haven't clicked on the chapter before I modified it. 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.

At this time, you can only download this chapter again. If it doesn’t work, you can only delete the book and remove it, and then add it again and put it on the shelves.

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.

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

"This Sun Shengjun still cannot escape the habit of bandits in war." Xie Hansan listened to the reports of several East Coast militias who came back and said to Liu Ang with a smile.

"I was originally a thief." Liu Ang wrapped his thick sheep jacket and took a sip of wine to warm up his body. He said lazily: "Besides, just rely on the few crooked melons and dates on his hands to fight the British? Or to attack the British fortifications with complete defense? I can't imagine! The strength of the thief is to avoid the real and the weak, and I think he is fighting well. And you see, it's actually snowing heavily in this ghost weather, and it seems that the snow will probably have to fall for several days. Haha, the British are miserable this time."

At present, almost all activities have been suspended in the Hezhong Fort, and even the slaves who lowered the two banners are now nesting in wooden houses covered with hay and reeds to avoid the bad weather. Under the guidance of the East Coast people, the lives of these indigenous people have changed a lot now. They have built up earth stoves and learned to cook food; some bad hygiene habits have also been corrected; children have regularly gathered in the East Coast people's castles to learn language and simple common sense. Overall, they have gradually deviated from the ignorant and barbaric life state in the past and began to evolve towards civilization.

Xie Hansan also picked up a bottle of Hezhong Daqu Meng on the table and took two bites, then picked up a handful of peanuts and stuffed them into his mouth to chew and eat them. He had just led some soldiers to patrol, and it was snowing outside. In just one night, a thick layer of snow had accumulated on the farmland, river ponds, ditches and houses near Hezhong Fort.

Before the snow fell, Liu Ang had organized people to build a lot of brick and tile houses, which were allocated to the residents of the East Coast. However, the number is still not enough, and many people still live in wooden houses. Fortunately, they have somewhere to live, and with the large amount of firewood and honeycomb coal that had been collected before winter, there is no need to worry about heating in winter. It is a world of difference compared to the English people who can only live under the air-lost canopy in Cape Town.

Since it was so heavy snow, the Eight Banners army could not be allowed to stay in the mountains. Liu Ang had signed an order just now, ordering Sun Shengjun to lead the surviving Eight Banners army to start evacuation. He was originally planning to let those baggage troops with more than a dozen large carts retreat together, but after hearing that they had gathered more than 20 fleeing British immigrants in the past few days, he decided to let them stay there and send more cavalry to expand the search range to see if more British fugitives could be found.

"By the way, I heard that the two Irish people who fled at the beginning have recovered?" Xie Hansan asked while drinking.

"Yeah." Liu Ang nodded, "That boy is lucky, and there are some inflammations in his body, which causes a low fever. We didn't have any medicine to treat him. In the end, we could only change him to a dry dress and provide him with some hot water, hot food and other care. In the end, he managed to withstand it with his own resistance."

"Hey, there will be a blessing in the future if you survive the disaster." Xie Hansan smiled, "You didn't let him go to the British castle to promote it? Only by contrast can the enemy's will be shaken. Let him go to the British to promote more and promote how good you eat and how happy you live here. Keep the custody that is almost frozen will make you rush to join us. To put it bluntly, these people are all going to overseas colonies to try their luck. Who are you huddling with? We will bring one more here, and there is one less on the British side. This is a good deal."

"How could anyone who has such a perfect plan have not thought of this section? Don't worry, I have notified the other side that the British who surrendered to go to the Fort Good Hope to collectively encourage British immigrants to escape. If our people don't come forward, we will have some remarks. Even if the British come to us in the future, we will have some remarks, haha." Liu Ang said with a smile. The threat of the port of Cape Town to the East Coast people is unquestionable, and it is even more competitive and oppressive to Fort River. Now, as long as there is anything that can weaken the strength of the British in Cape Town, Liu Ang is willing to do it.

"Can the British guy have a future?" Xie Hansan sneered, "This is not easy to deal with, they should ask for blessings."

Just as Liu Ang and Xie Hansan were drinking and chatting, guards suddenly came in outside to report that several local ships were coming from the dock.

Liu Ang and Xie Hansan looked at each other, and were both surprised. The transport fleet had just left Hezhong Fort for more than 20 days, so why did the ship come again? The two of them couldn't care about so much, so they just ran to the dock to watch together.

I saw a huge double-deck battleship and two small ships docked silently on the deep-water dock of the river fortress. The top masts of the Shanghai Army's double-swords and eagle flags were flying, and the two-headed eagle Yin-Yang Fish National Emblem pattern with its teeth and claws on the sail surface was even more eye-catching.

The sky was gray, and heavy snow like goose feathers fell on the ground, on the river surface and on the ship deck. Navy Lieutenant Guo Zili, Yulian, and Liu Dafa were now walking towards Liu Ang and the other two, surrounded by adjutants.

"Old Guo, are you..." Liu Ang looked back with his head in sight, but he never saw a higher-level naval officer coming.

"Stop looking. Lao Guo Rong was promoted to the captain of the newly-entered battleship of the 'Free Trade'. We have a mission to come here this time." Navy Lieutenant Liu Dafa said to his family.

"Damn, the 'Free Trade' has been put into service!" Liu Ang said in amazement, "I'll just say that such a majestic double-deck battleship looks different from the other two."

"Okay, don't stand here." Xie Hansan, an alien who is well-known among the army and the navy, grabbed Guo Zili and others' arms, waved his hand and said, "Go back to the house to drink and leave!"

Several people quickly got into the warm office, and the orderly brought hot tea and coffee.

"We have a mission this time." Guo Zili, as the leader of this line, took the lead in talking. "When we set off, Dongfang Port had already shipped a transport ship full of cloth and weapons to the Port of Izmir in the Ottoman Empire. Of course, this ship would dock in Bordeaux first and would continue to go to the Eastern Mediterranean Sea after contacting the Holnisian family. After all, it has been a long time, and it is difficult to say whether there are any changes there. Although the Atlantic route is temporarily accessible, the Executive Committee is still very eager to open up African routes. You know, the role of African routes is quite huge. In addition to being able to do business, sailing east along this route can also reach Southeast Asia. When it comes to Southeast Asia, it means that the Ming Dynasty is not far away. Therefore, the Executive Committee is currently taking the opening of this route as a major task."

"So, are you ships here to explore African routes?" Liu Ang asked.

Guo Zili nodded: "At present, the officers and sailors on the three ships are basically selected from the entire army. Some of them have strong skills, some have strong knowledge, some have rich experience, and some are familiar with the route. They can be said to be gathering elite soldiers and generals. The three ships, including a battleship, a high-speed cruiser, and a frigate, have the smallest tonnage of four or five hundred tons. We strive to break through the storm area of ​​the convergence zone of the two ocean currents outside the Cape of Good Hope, and then enter the Indian Ocean. After entering the Indian Ocean, we strive to find another place to settle. The first choice is the original plan of the Anziranana area in the later generations on the north side of Madagascar. If it really doesn't work, you can temporarily stay in Portuguese East Africa. This is the goal of the first phase. After completing the first phase goal, the fleet will return to Hezhongbao to rest and wait for the Executive Committee's next action plan."

"It's good, it's good to be cautious." Liu Ang commented, "But the climate in Anziranana is humid and hot. Do we have enough antimalarial drugs? The cinchona tree brought back from the mountains of Chile has not grown yet? There are not enough antimalarial drugs. At this stage, we will build a stronghold in the humid and hot areas of tropical rainforest climate, such as Anziranana, and the mortality rate will be unbearable."

Everyone was a little silent when they talked about this. The harsh natural environment is a very realistic problem. Mosquitoes, fruit flies and even some local parasites may cause great harm to everyone's health, especially when the preparations are not yet sufficient, this is completely a life-saving.

"Anti-malarial drugs must be proposed by the Executive Committee, otherwise the opening of a route is just empty talk. Everyone on the east coast is precious, especially the ones who were dispatched this time are good players in the navy, and we cannot withstand any losses. Forget it, don't consider that far, let's get to the Mozambique Strait smoothly first." Guo Zili concluded.

"When will you set out?" Xie Hansan asked from the side.

"As soon as possible," said Guo Zili. "We are going to rest here for two days, replenish fresh water and food, and then we go south around the Cape of Good Hope and start exploring the route. By the way, I heard that the British built a port in the Cape Town area. How is it now?"

Liu Ang and Xie Hansan looked at each other and said, "I'm almost done when I'm hanging half-dead. If the bad weather continues and there is no outside help, I really doubt that there will be a few living people left in their place by the beginning of spring."

"Hehe." Everyone laughed after hearing Liu Ang's words. It was better to let the British suffer, but they blatantly built a port under the eyes of the East Coast people. How could such provocation be tolerated? If the Cape Town port is initially developed and can provide supplies to British ships passing by, it would definitely not be a blessing for the East Coast people. Speaking of this, everyone was a little silent. The harsh natural environment is a very realistic problem. Mosquitoes, fruit flies and even some local parasites may cause great harm to everyone's health, especially when the preparations are not yet sufficient, this is completely a waste of life.
