Chapter 572 The Chosen One

If the layout was not started a long time ago, the good terrain of Suzakuyama could fall into the hands of Fang Jie without seeing it.Hundreds of miles of Suzakuyama divided Huangyang Road into two, a large area on the west was blocked by the semi-circular Suzakuyama, and on the west was the wolf milk mountain range, which was nearly north-south and nearly circled.Although it was a thousand miles of fertile land, it could be too blocked, so the aborigines had basically moved out, and that was also the only place in Da Sui where there was no official education.

During the Taiping period, this place seemed a bit remote. There were many tourists from Shanmei, but no one wanted to live for a long time. In the chaos of the world, it became a place suitable for soldiers.There is a Suzaku mountain in front, which is a natural barrier. Although the wasteland behind the mountain has not been cultivated for many years, it can be a good field as long as it is opened.

Before Fang Jie went south, Wu Yidao had already arranged for the recruitment of soldiers at Huangyang Road, and about seven or eight thousand people were building cottages.

The branch of Huangniu River passes through the foot of Suzaku Mountain. Although the river channel is narrow, the big ship can barely pass through, and the first big deal after the solution is here is to widen the channel connecting a lake with dozens of miles to the branch of Huangniu River. In the next two months, tens of thousands of people were busy with this matter.After widening the channel of Changliqiqili, the big ship can enter the lake and stay. The branch of the Huangniu River is feasible but it can't make a U-turn. After the small lake is opened, the lake becomes a water village, and the large ship scheduling is much more convenient.

After the widening of the river channel, a water channel was opened on the other side of the lake, so that the water flow formed a cycle, just like the roundabout of the modern highway, the fleet entered the lake from the far entrance, and the other exit Waterways, so as to avoid the danger of river congestion.

If the waterway is open, it seems to the Black Flag Army that the door of convenience is always open.With the ability of cargo to go through the sky, the required house materials can be continuously sent from the waterway.

Artisan recruits built cottages on Mount Suzaku, and Black Flag soldiers were opening the river.

In the first three months, Fang had no plans to enter the army.At this time, there is no need to hide anymore, and recruiting new recruits can also be done on the bright side.The people of Huang Yangdao hated Luo Yao ’s left avant-garde, so there were not many who came to surrender. The principle of recruiting was to choose the best and stay. The young people and the elderly all distributed five kilograms of grain and fifty copper coins and then let them go home.Of course, in this way, many people will apply for the money, but the solution will not be broken, as long as they are not repeated.

For such an approach, Wu Yidao and others praised it privately.

Now that the foundation is not stable, grasping the people's hearts is indeed a major event.As Fang Jie said during the deliberations, don't let the people think that the black flag army Suzakuyama camp is a group of bandit robbers, but an army that loves and protects the people.Only by approving the local people can the foundation be really stabilized.

During these days, Fang Jie has been staring at the river channel. The soldiers are very motivated so the progress is very fast. After the preliminary preparations such as the diversion are properly made, the speed of widening the river channel is much faster.

Standing on the high embankment, Fang Xie looked at the soldiers working in the sky with a thousand eyes and smiled and said: "After the river is widened, you can build a water village in the lake, General Duan. This is what you are best at, I I'll leave it to you. "

Duan Zheng smiled and said: "General, in my opinion, this is not a long-term place ... and our fleet of warships has more than 200, most of them are merchant ships, so build trestles in the lake. The loading and unloading of goods is immediate, as for the Shui Zhai, it is not necessary to build too large and strong. "

Fang Jie nodded: "Yes, this is just a place to stay temporarily. But here you can attack and retreat, you can't abandon it. How to build the water village is up to you, you need money and you just need to find Hou Ye. Just ask. "

Wu Yidao said on one side: "I can only do enough business if I can't get in or out."

Fang Xie laughed, and suddenly saw a tall figure in the distance walking down the river channel with his head hanging down, like he was thinking about something.Fang Xie pointed out that the man had ordered his own soldiers to say, "Go and invite Andrew, why did this guy come out so far."

This Andrew came from a place called the Principality of Ross on the east side of the sea. It was a firearms craftsman from East Chu merchants who was commissioned by Wu Yidao.This man was a criminal in the Principality of Ross. He was captured because he was framed by his family. He was killed in anger and was caught in prison. The East Chu merchant bought him a hundred or two silver pieces and a large Sui porcelain. After he came down, he asked him to recruit several artisans who made firearms, all of whom were poor people living in poverty, and sent them to Da Sui.

He has golden curly hair and blue eyes typical of foreigners. He is very strong, but he will not fight at all. He once had his nose broken in the tavern, and his opponent was a 60-year-old man.

The soldiers quickly invited Andrew over, and Andrew heard that General Fang was looking for him to trot over here.After he arrived in the Great Sui Dynasty, he was fascinated by the culture of this country. According to his understanding, Fang Jie is a big man in the Duchy of Ross equivalent to the duke.

"Dear Master, what do you ask me to do?"

Andrew bent over to salute with the understanding of the Ross, and Chinese could barely express his meaning.

"Why did you walk so far along the way?"

Fang Xie pointed to the direction of the cottage.

Andrew responded sadly: "I miss my family. Dear adult, if you have a way, can you bring my family here? I am a criminal, and I will be recaptured whenever I return to the Duchy I lived in the gun, but I still have a sister and a brother who need me to take care of them. I am not with them. Their days must be very hard. The pervert of old Enge has long been unwilling to treat my sister. I am very worried about them. "

"Oh?"

Fang Jie looked back at Wu Yiyi and said: "Hou Ye, if you can, you can ask the merchants of Dong Chu to take Andrew's family, as well as the families of several other craftsmen, so that they can feel at ease. work."

Wu Yidao yelled, "I have sent people to do it, but it is not easy to bring dozens of people out of the Ross State."

Fang Jie nodded: "No matter how difficult it is, I have to do well ... Andrew"

Fang Jie said to Andrew: "You can rest assured that I will definitely pick up all your family members. In addition, I have something to ask you."

Fang Xie thought for a while and said, "Now we manufacture things that are long-brewed, and we buy them from Dongchu merchants for a large price. , Can all the necessary machinery and equipment be shipped from the Principality of Ross? "

"My respectable lord!"

Andrew exclaimed: "It's too difficult ... it's something under military control. It's too difficult to ship it out. If it weren't for the guys who manage the warehouse, they wouldn't be able to buy these parts."

"There will always be a way."

Fang Jie patted his shoulder and said: "As long as you can find a way to transport the machine from the Principality of Ross, I will meet you again. You know, I have this ability."

Andrew glanced back at the scene of the tens of thousands of soldiers working on the river channel, and the other party's answer was convinced: "I know you have this ability ... Ok! I tried my best to find a way, but ... you can really satisfy me A wish? "

Fang Jie nodded: "Unless you want to be an emperor."

Andrew shook his head quickly: "No, no, I don't want to be an emperor, I just want to ... just want ... to make Miss Yinyu my wife, she is simply an angel, and I have been fascinated by her. If you can She became my wife and I am willing to give everything I have in exchange! "

Everyone was stunned for a while, and the wine-colored wealth pursuing behind them did not hold back a laugh.The muscles on Wu Yidao's face could not help twitching a few times, and then looked at Fang Jie.

Fang Xie obviously also froze for a while. He stretched out his arms and took Andrew's shoulders and asked seriously: "Andrew, in your hometown, if two men like a girl at the same time, how to solve it?"

Andrew replied: "Duel!"

Fang Xing yelled, stopped and looked at Andrew more seriously, "How is the medical officer in the cottage related to you?"

"Very good, that's a good person! We often drink together. He always asks me to drink your Da Sui's burning knife. That wine is too spicy. I still like our beer in the Principality of Ross. It tastes great. I have the opportunity It ’s delicious for you to have a drink and sausage. I also told the medical officer that I would give him a barrel of beer in the future! "

Andrew Road.

Fang Jie said very seriously: "He may have to take care of you for a while ..."

...

...

Fang Jie will naturally not really beat Andrew, of course, if Andrew challenges, he doesn't mind doing so.Wu Yidao said that it was not a joke to assign Wu Yinyu to Fang Jie. If Fang Jie was half a joke and pulled Andrew aside, it was really possible that the gold man could throw this silly big man into the mud at the bottom of the river.

"This is really hard!"

In the workshop laboratory, Andrew ’s whimsical interpretation of the opponent ’s solution is simply beyond comprehension: “I ’ve simplified the loading of Chang Bong as much as possible, so that the speed of firing and reloading is at least one third higher than before. My respectable adult, you Although the said burst is a genius idea, but I really ca n’t do it. With my current ability, I think that it ’s not just me, no one can do it. ”

Fang Xie nodded, knowing that bursting firearms is indeed a bit too advanced for this era, and the musket of the Principality of Ross is not as good as the crossbow.Even if the army is equipped, if the enemy has an arrow array of tens of thousands, the musket has no advantage at all.The range is not longer than the hard bow, and the power of the lead shot is also small.Looking at this thing now, it can only be regarded as a weapon for mid-range combat, and it needs a lot of equipment.

The reason why Fang Jie let Andrew keep studying is because he firmly believes that the era is progressing and technology is also progressing. Although the current firearms are still very weak, but the future generations in the battle of cold weapons and hot weapons, how heavy the loss Solution will not forget.The motherland of the previous life will not forget too much loss in this respect.

"This one will be released first."

Fang Xie asked: "The artillery, is it possible to build it in the Great Sui?"

Andrew shook his head again: "impossible, only a few of us and those apprentices, it is impossible to cast artillery without a factory."

Fang Jie couldn't help but sigh, even though he knew the answer long ago, he was still disappointed.There is no mature casting process in Da Sui, and the only way to make artillery is to think about it.

"in case……"

Fang Xie made a comparison and said: "If the artillery can be installed on the warship, then our fleet can easily control the river."

Andrew looked at the solution like a monster: "I really can't believe that you haven't left this country. Your thinking is completely different from other people. They see these things as surprises and doubts, but you seem to know a lot. Many things are not surprising. "

Fang Jie smiled and said that he was about to speak, and suddenly he heard someone outside say coldly: "Because he is a natural choice, since the natural choice knows many things that others don't know from birth, it is innate. Knowledge, not learned from the day after tomorrow. "

Fang Jie felt a shock in his heart, and when he looked back, he didn't know when Meng Yuan's great master Sang Sai appeared at the door.
