The matter was divided into two parts. Cao Peng saw the telegram from Zhao Xin early in the morning. He was having breakfast and didn't hold a bite of porridge in his mouth and sprayed it out directly. Seeing this, his newly married wife Lin Sanyue hurriedly helped clean up with the maid.

"Eat slowly, what happened?"

"This Prince Zhao! He is very ambitious! After stirring up Europe and Southeast Asia, I think he is even more troublesome than the British!"

Lin Sanyue did not understand her husband's nonsense and sat on the steps under the corridor teasing the kitten. After getting married, her black braid disappeared and replaced it with a woman's head. At first, she became the most common blouse of Li Chao's noble lady (pronounced as the same as the enemy) and sent it to the "broad-broad-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow-brow

At this time, the sunshine outside the house spread, and the hair of March's contrast became darker and brighter. The white neck was filled with a layer of strange color in the sun, which made Cao Peng a little confused.

Sanyue felt that the sound of eating porridge behind her suddenly stopped. When she turned around and saw Cao Peng's appearance, she couldn't help but show a hint of shyness and gave the other party a blank look.

Oh! Cao Peng thinks such a small life is really wonderful!

Life has to be passed, and business has to be done. He finished the last slice of pickled radish on the plate, and he was slowed down for a while before he got up and changed his clothes, took his two subordinates out of the house, and went to talk to Shibata Juezang.

Shibata Kiyozo had already been promoted from the "Minfu" of the Sendai vassal two years ago, that is, the secret probe was promoted to the pursuit of the vassal, and was specifically responsible for the docking and related affairs of Beihai Town. Such as labor exports, arms purchases, personnel replenishment of Qingye Camp, etc., all were all assigned to him. Of course, he would also come to borrow money from Beihai Town.

Seeing Cao Peng, Shibata Juezang changed his poker face that had not changed for thousands of years, showed a smile, stood up and bowed, and said in slightly stiff Mandarin: "Brother Ling Han is here?"

That's right, Cao Peng also has the word "官网". Before leaving Beihai Town, he specially asked Duan Yukai to give him a word. Otherwise, when he thought of being called "Cao Sang", he would feel uncomfortable all over.

Duan Yukai first asked about his birth date and horoscope, and then his hometown. Of course, Cao Peng did not dare to say that he was born in the 180s, so he reported the year according to the 18th century. The lunar month was real; his hometown was naturally Cao Wendan, a fellow villager in She County, Anhui Province. Duan Yukai thought for a while and wrote down three options "Haiqiu, Yizhi, Linghan" on paper. Cao Peng fell in love with the last one at a glance.

Cao Peng smiled and bowed to Shibata Juezang, saying, "Xibasang, I am entrusted by the King of Zhao Palace. Today I will come to you to discuss a major event."

Don’t be surprised, “Shita” is pronounced as “shiba” in Japanese. Whenever I think of the meaning of the word “Xiba” in Korean, Cao Peng couldn’t help but want to be happy. He felt that it was quite exciting to call the other person like this.

When he heard that King Zhao's Palace had a destiny, Xibasang, oh, no, Shibada Juezang immediately stepped back, knelt down and sat upright, and acted as if he was cautious in accepting the order. Cao Peng then sat cross-legged and whispered for a moment.

After hearing this, Shibata Juezang asked with a look of surprise: "Brother Ling Han, what is wrong with this vassal doing that makes King Zhao's Palace dissatisfied?"

This guy is obviously more than ten years older than Cao Peng, and he has more than four photos, but he can say "Brother Ling Han" at one time, which is so natural.

Cao Peng shook his head in surprise and said, "Why did Xibasang say this?"

Shibata Kiyozo said: "This vassal and the town of Kitaki are in harmony. Not to mention five thousand, even 15,000 soldiers can be collected. Why do you still have to find Edo?"

Cao Peng thought it was true. Now the Sendai vassal alone has a population of nearly 700,000, not to mention that there is still a small 600,000 in Nanjiuzhou. In addition, Zhao Xin gave guns and military pay this time. If the Sendai vassal monopoly, he would probably make a lot of money.

Speaking of the Sendai Fan borrowed more than 7 million taels of debt from Bekuhai Town in recent years, so he maintained the position of the boss of the "Muo Badminton League". He led a group of poor little vassals to compete with the Tokugawa Shogunate, and even wanted to seek Guan Bai's throne. Although the head of the family Idachi Village is only 17 this year, he can rely on giving a few sums of money to the Kyoto court, he is now the fourth guard lieutenant general. In history, Idachi Village was just a four guard major general until his death.

The problem is that the money borrowed from the merchants can be relied on. If you borrow money from Beihai Town to give the Sendai Basilica a hundred courageous person, you can't pay it back for a hundred years with the output of Sendai Basilica and Mian Kyushu alone. Seven million taels will not be repaid for a hundred years. Now there is a chance to get rich suddenly. How could Shibata Kiyozo let the Tokugawa shogunate share the pie?

Sure enough, the next day, everyone in the meeting room of Ninomaru of Aoba Castle, including the head of the family Idachi Village, agreed with Shibada Mitsuzo's approach. Isn't it just 15,000 soldiers? The Sendai vassal is full of all! No slag can be left for the Tokugawa family!

Speaking of which, the island country has had a good relationship with the Dutch in the past two hundred years, and has developed many Lan scholars. They have long learned from Dutch books that the land in Southeast Asia can be matured three times a year, which is extremely envious.

In the past, there was no chance, neither the Spanish nor the Dutch could bear the blame; but now it is different. With the support of the North Navy fleet, it is nothing to do with some people. However, Ishikawa Murata had more ideas. He felt that if he could make a piece of land there to cultivate it, it would inevitably greatly alleviate the situation of insufficient grain production, and he would no longer have to import wheat from Beihai Town in the future, which would save a lot of money.

For the islanders, rice is called food, and wheat, buckwheat and other people are all evil heretics!

Shibata Kiyozo then conveyed the meaning of Ishikawamura, but Cao Peng couldn't make the decision, so he sent a telegram to Bacheng, and mentioned the request of Sendai's vassal to provide all the troops.

Because Zhao Xin ran back to buy a boat, Cao Peng waited five days before receiving a call back. Zhao Xin told him that as long as he took Kalimantan Island, the North Navy would assist the Sendai Fan to obtain the narrow Palawan Island in the northeast. However, one thing is that in the middle of the island, the North Navy would take a piece of land to open a port as a transit station to the Nansha Islands in the future.

Zhao Xin chose this island because although its length is 425 kilometers in the north and south, it is only 40 kilometers wide from east to west, and there is no strategic depth. If there is any trouble, the Northern Navy can only attack on both sides and completely easily penetrate it.

After Shibata Juezang learned the news from Cao Peng, he was overjoyed and immediately reported to the head of the family Idaqi Village and the old Ishikawa Village. The young Idaqi Village was so excited that he couldn't sit still after learning about it. This was to expand the territory. What are you afraid of? Just have a large ship from Beihai Town to help transport people.

In the future, no matter how many sons there are, you won’t be afraid of losing your fiefdom, and you won’t have to be a monk anymore!

As for the first batch of troops, in order to keep it confidential, Ishikawa Muramura decided to directly allocate from the Sendai vassal workers who built railways in the town of Kitakai and then dispatched additional services. Since the town of Kitakai imported railway construction workers from the island country, the Sendai vassal alliance and the shogunate, Kitakai, have been doing one by one, and both sides are hundreds of miles away and can't be seen at all.

Three days later, Cao Peng signed an agreement on related matters on behalf of Beihai Town and Yidaqi Village in a secret room in Ninomaru, Aoba Castle.

The two sides agreed that at the latest no later than the end of January 1793, that is, on December 17, the Sendai vassal state must transfer the first batch of 5,000 healthy soldiers to Beihai Town for training and provide no less than 200 vassals as reserve officers; the delivery time of the second batch of 5,000 people shall not be later than the end of April 1793-that is March 15, the third batch of 5,000 people shall not be later than the end of June-that is May 15,000.

Beihai Town will train all soldiers and vassals according to the standards of the Aoba Camp, and provide all equipment including military uniforms and weapons and ammunition. After these troops complete their mission and return home, all weapons and equipment will be left to the Sendai Basilica.

During the period when all officers and soldiers are serving, Beihai Town will pay monthly allowances according to the standard of 10 to 100 Beihai yuan. The relevant casualties and injuries pension standards are consistent with those of the officers and soldiers of the same level of the Beihai Army. In order to control and allow the families of the officers and soldiers to get money on time, Fumishi Ishikawamura added a special one to the agreement. All allowances will be deposited into the savings account of the Beihai Silver in Ishijuan Port and cannot be directly sent to individuals.

While Cao Peng completed the agreement, the fishing boat and several small boats that Zhao Xin bought also completed the delivery procedures. This time he got a medium-sized tuna seine fishing boat that had just been launched for a year. Because he wanted to hunt down tuna schools, the main engine power was as high as 3,800kW and the speed could reach 14 to 17 knots. The length of the boat was 60 meters and the total tonnage was 1,000 tons.

The most special thing about this ship is that it has a thick mainmast at the back of the deck room, and a fish lookout on the top, which is just used to observe the surrounding situation. Since its speed is unavailable in this time and space, no 75mm cannon was installed. Zhao Xin asked the mechanics on the Thor to weld a set of multi-purpose gun racks on both sides of the ship's side and installed two "Kord" heavy machine guns.

The only regret is that I bought it urgently, and I spent one-third of the money. However, Prince Zhao almost always bought a boat and was used to being a sucker...

The personnel who fought against the crocodile team have been selected, and the Marines and the Security Team are half and half. After the personnel are in place, they shoot close-range mobile targets at the shooting range every day. All the team members are told that they can only fight crocodile heads and never hit their bodies. Crocodile skin is a good thing.

Hunting crocodiles does not mean waiting for the crocodile to come ashore and shoot it dozens of meters away, but rather baiting it with an iron hook in the river. When you find that the crocodile has been hooked, you drive the boat over, pull the rope and lift the crocodile's head up, and then shoot it.

The staff of the leather making workshops ask the court to find it from local immigrants, and it is enough to have dozens of people. Traditional Chinese leather making generally uses vegetable tanning or oil tanning, each with its advantages and disadvantages. The plant method is to soak the tannin solution by boiling tree bark; the oil tanning method is generally soaked in fish oil solution, commonly known as oil suede. Bacheng is close to the sea, and there is no shortage of fish oil.

In addition, tanning leather also requires quicklime and a large amount of sea salt. Limestone is easy to say, and can be mined in the southern part of Sumatra, and the reserves are extremely abundant. In addition, a salt drying field must be built.

Immigrants who came to Bacheng have not only grown sugarcane but also coffee in recent years, and a few people have farmed. Now, with Zhao Xin’s idea, everyone from top to bottom has become busy. You must know that just to harvest lime from Sumatra, you have to set up a special fleet and recruit a group of miners.

Zhao Xin checked the information and found that the limestone and iron ore reserves in the southern part of West Java Island were rich. He felt that in the future, he could develop the cement industry in Bacheng, at least build bridges, roads and port construction were very necessary. However, if we want to solve these, we had to deal with the Dutch in the south and the surrounding Sultanate.

Due to time constraints, the French spent a hot Christmas in Bacheng. After living in Bacheng for two weeks, several French people were already a little annoyed. There were only a few places to go to in the cities of Tiananmen Square, and the church in Bacheng was converted into a hospital, and there was no place to worship. The problem is that there are no churches in Beihai Town, and there are only two priests, who are still Orthodox and incompatible with the Catholic Church.

Furthermore, the house built by Beihai Town will not start construction after the snow melts in the spring next year. Now, if you go there, you can only live in Wooden Culin, and the conditions are far worse than those of Bacheng.

Zhao Xin brought two Christmas trees from another time and space, put them on snowflakes, bells, dolls and treetop stars, which surprised several "Gods" and Louis Charles. In addition to arranging a delicious meal, he also bought a lot of gifts, tried his best to remove the trademark, found a colorful paper bag, and placed it at the door of each house on Christmas morning.

Is it easy to hire a few intellectuals for Beihai Town?
