Xu Changqing returned to the camp by the seaside of Tiemenguan. It was already the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month.

The main reason is that it is too cold, with ice and snow everywhere, and the sea is frozen. For safety reasons, Xu Changqing could only slow down his journey.

At this time, the camp was already a world of difference from Xu Changqing before leaving.

In this gentle area on the east side of the Daqing River, there are simple houses made of various trees everywhere. Although they are simple, they are not messy in the past and are very neatly planned.

Moreover, for every ten households, there is a public toilet with ten people, and there are dedicated people cleaning it every day.

There are many routes planned by quicklime in the camp, including several huge sewer planning lines, all of which are prepared for the construction of real cities in the future.

From every household, the laughter and joy of the children came from time to time.

Although this land is a little simple at this time, compared to theirs, it is completely paradise!

Because not only can we eat and wear warmly, there is no oppression, but we also have unlimited hope for the future.

"Master, we have found three stone mines around us, prepared four brick kilns, and all kinds of wood have been connected, and the staff is full, and everyone is holding on. As long as we wait for the beginning of spring next year and the weather is a little warmer, we can start construction."

Uncle Zhong was also indescribable to introduce everything they had built from existence to non-existence to Xu Changqing.

Xu Changqing smiled and nodded, looking at the continuous watchtower and earthen walls outside the camp, "Uncle Zhong, what is the safety situation in these days? Is anyone here to cause trouble?"

Uncle Zhong was immediately happy: "Shuai, now, who dares to cause trouble for us? He doesn't want to live anymore! But some people around him are very curious about our training. It just so happens that it's slack farming now, and many people come over to peek at the men's training since the morning without any trouble."

"Let's see if we practice?"

Xu Changqing was stunned and then laughed: "Look at how we're doing it. You can arrange a few strong women to boil more hot water every day. When they are thirsty, they can make some tea for them. Also, build a few public toilets outside and don't let them urinate or defecate anywhere."

Uncle Zhong also understood what Xu Changqing meant, and couldn't help but slap his head hard, "Okay, Master Shuai, I'll make arrangements right away."

...

After inspecting the camp with Uncle Zhong, Xu Changqing came to the military camp on the other side of the sea.

At this time, Wu Sanfu and the Wu family did not leave, and Xu Changqing still had a combat power of more than 1,500 people.

This is not a false number, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is all Xu Changqing's servants.

The people's camps are so smooth, let alone the military camps.

Although the camp is a scale of 2,000 people and is still a local building, the overall plan has been released. After the formal construction begins in the spring of next year, the scale of this camp alone will be more than 10,000 people.

When the men saw Xu Changqing coming back and learned that Xu Changqing had already handled the land of the Hengwang Mansion, they were all extremely excited and greeted Xu Changqing respectfully.

After inspecting it, after completing the process, he accompanied the core officers to have lunch, and Xu Changqing called Wu Sanfu to the big tent.

"Is there such a thing?! These dog-fucking bandits are really despicable!"

When Wu Sanfu heard Xu Changqing talk about what happened in Qingzhou, he felt good in his original mood suddenly became gloomy and his whole body exuded a solemn chill.

After walking along this with Xu Changqing's team, he already had a deep sense of identity with these people in this land.

Xu Changqing nodded and said, "Third Brother, I'll ask you for this matter! Don't be too anxious, don't alert the enemy! Just find them out within two months!"

Wu Sanfu focused his attention: "Don't worry, Master Shuai, this matter is covered by Bei Zhi! I want to see what this ghost master is, can he become a spirit?"

Wu Sanfu left, Xu Changqing rubbed his temples, and a hint of coldness appeared on the corners of his mouth.

It's no wonder that Zhu Youqi is so active and wants to do it

Even if he gets married, he often has extremely limited influence.

He has no soldiers on hand, and the prince is not strong at all.

These powerful forces are really a bit unfathomable.

However, since they had accused him of Xu Changqing, they thought they were ready to be retaliated against!

...

After returning to the camp for a few days, Xu Changqing's life gradually began to become regular.

In the morning, I got up early to run exercises, took the children to practice, adjust the scale of auxiliary soldiers, strengthen political education, and prepare for the next step of expanding the army.

After breakfast, it was the inspection of the fishing spot, which was also the core lifeline of Xu Changqing at this time.

Although there is a territory, this season is at work and everything has not really stuck on the track.

Because they are backed by the Daqing River, the men can not only catch sea fish, but also many freshwater fish that are more delicious and delicious.

The auxiliary soldiers were more familiar with fishing at this time and could already fish on the ice, and the harvest was much richer than before.

After that, there are various government affairs that soothe people's hearts.

At night, I focus on accompanying my mother and delicate wives.

In this comfort, the New Year of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen quietly arrived.

Xu Changqing not only spent a lot of money to buy a hundred fat pigs, but also prepared a lot of various fish.

Starting from the 28th day of the 12th lunar month, every family will take the initiative to prepare the New Year’s Eve dinner.

Xu Changqing understood very well that the more difficult the conditions are, the more we should work hard to create hope, and use a combination of big goals and small goals to advance towards hope step by step.

This will make the people more aware of this and thus make his foundation more stable.

From now on, no matter whether it is the people of Liaodong, the craftsmen gathered from all over the world in the capital, or the refugees gathered from the surrounding areas, there will be no longer a distinction between regions. There is only one general term, Shandong Zuo Xieren!

In the afternoon, after dealing with many trivial matters, Xu Changqing finally had his spare time and wanted to be lazy and chat with Li Youwei.

Here, the foreign monk, Ruowang, came to him without any chance.

"Great General, there is something that I think we need to discuss carefully."

When this foreign monk came, Xu Changqing happened to go to Qingzhou, but he never knew what he had left. After Uncle Zhong arranged him to the slave camp on the west bank of the Qing River, Joshua Chan quickly started his work.

When Xu Changqing came back a few days ago, he had already developed more than a dozen believers among slaves, and discussed with Xu Changqing the location to start the church during the Chinese New Year.

"Haha, Father, my friend, are you doing well these few days?" Xu Changqing enthusiastically hugged Johnson Tang.

But Joshua Chan rolled his eyes a little and said unhappily: "General, I think we need to discuss the matter about the church."

"oh?"

Xu Changqing smiled: "Father, weren't you quite satisfied with the location of the church before? Why, now you want to change the place?"

Zhuo Wang Tang gave Xu Changqing a little annoyed and said, "General, Lord, is kind. He will indeed influence those slaves, but he will also influence countless people. General, you cannot exclude us from the mainstream world. Our church should be built in the city on the east bank of the Daqing River, not in the prisons of those slaves."

Xu Changqing scratched his nose. The foreign monk had come to his senses now, but this was already as Xu Changqing expected.

After a moment, he smiled and said, "Of course, Father. The reason I arranged the church on the West Bank before was mainly because there was enough land on the West Bank. If you were to come to the east coast, the size of the church might have been reduced a lot. You know, after the Chinese New Year, we will have more people and will come back from the Liaodong front line, so..."

Although Xu Changqing didn't finish speaking, how could the old fried dough stick Tang Ruowang not understand what Xu Changqing meant?

He blinked, thought for a while, and then said, "General, how much land can we have here?"

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

"Probably, only one-fifth of the West Bank."

"Oh God. General, you can't do this! What about the plan we agreed to build the largest church in East Asia? You are turning against our pledge. General, this is immoral, this is a manifestation of the loss of integrity."

Seeing that the old man was a little scared, Xu Changqing hurriedly smiled and said, "Father, don't be excited. We do want to build the largest church in East Asia and even the world, but it's not now. Father, you need to know that we are just starting out now. If all the funds are invested in this, the people will go hungry. Father, you are the messenger of God, you won't want to see such a scene, right?"

"this…?"

Although Joshua Chan was about to know his destiny and was still full of strong pioneering spirit at this time, when it comes to playing methods, compared with Xu Changqing, who had already been unfathomable, he was obviously not the same.

Seeing that he was frightened, Xu Changqing smiled and said, "Father, I can set aside the land for building a church for you near the dock. Although it is a little smaller, it will not be less than one and a half acres. Moreover, the church square can also be used with the dock, and it can save a lot of money. Father, you think, after that, there will be merchant ships from other places, and you will see your church as soon as you get ashore. Perhaps, we will also trade with the Dutch, Spanish, and Portuguese in the South China Sea. By then, your masterpiece will definitely be conveyed to the Holy See."

"This, this..."

At this time, Tang Ruowang was completely frightened by the big cake drawn by Xu Changqing and was already very moved.

He does have a firm belief, always maintains his original aspiration, and is a follower of God. However, no one can be without selfishness. Being recognized by the Holy See is Johnson Cho's lifelong pursuit.

Seeing that the temperature was almost done, Xu Changqing smiled and said, "Father, preaching is indeed your most sacred duty, but we should also pay more attention to people's livelihood, right? I decided to open a school near your church, and you will worry about the principal. How about it?"

"School?"

Joshua Chan's eyes lit up: "Great General, is this true?"

...

After seeing off Tang Ruowang, Xu Changqing was also a little funny.

This old bull's nose is not a saint after all.

However, the school Xu Changqing told him also fired a firearm, which was not a real school, but a simple version of a military academy.

At this time, although Xu Changqing did not have a cannon, after the beginning of the New Year, Xu Changqing was about to send people to Hao'ao to talk to the Portuguese.

In this way, as long as the artillery is transported back from Hao'ao, the real artillery will soon be formed.

...

In a mixed situation, the New Year of the 15th year of Chongzhen has arrived quietly.

On this day, even though the infrastructure conditions were a bit terrible, Xu Changqing tried his best to make every household hang red lanterns, and adults and children could have some new clothes.

Xu Changqing went to visit the military camp in person without mentioning it.

The mother Yang also brought Li Youwei, Wu Sanmei, Chuxue, Xiaer, Gu Hengbo, Kou Baimen and Xu Changqing's back houses, almost going from house to house to greet the people and send small red envelopes.

This also turned the entire camp into a sea of ​​joy.

This made many people around who had received the news come to watch. Is this legendary Zhongyi Bo really so kind?

Xu Changqing did not disappoint them. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, as long as the people around him came, they could enjoy the full fish banquet provided by Xu Changqing for free.

Soon, the people near Tiemenguan stopped celebrating the New Year at their homes and rushed to the camp to make this land that had already begun to sprout vigorous vitality and continue to expand rapidly.

Outside the crowd, Xu Changqing's mind was getting more and more comfortable looking at this excited and hopeful face.
