Sun Jingting said angrily: "Don't they claim to be civilized? How can they kill people like this?"

Li Pingzhi smiled bitterly and said, "It's just that people who claim to be civilized, so in their eyes, non-civilized people are beasts, and it's okay to kill them... Like us Han Chinese and Han merchants, they just look at each other differently. They mainly win over Han merchants, and they are different from natives. Some Han Chinese in Penghu were forcibly plundered by them to help build forts, but they still have money to start wages and there is no abuse."

Sun Jingting shook his head, feeling that his understanding could hardly keep up with these Dutch-Japanese ways of thinking.

Everyone finished the greetings one by one, and finally the military came over. Li Shouxin saluted Sun Jingting and said aloud: "I have met Lord Sun."

"Commander Li Shaoli." Sun Jingting looked at Li Shouxin with a gentle look and said, "It's really a torture to not see his family from Datong Island for many years. Before I left, I asked someone to write a letter for Commander Li's parents. Both old people are in good health and told you to be at ease in military affairs and official affairs, and not to worry about them."

Li Shouxin stood up respectfully at first, and when he mentioned his parents, he still looked like longing on his face. In the end, he was moved and sad. After all, he was sent out not long after he was reunited with his parents. And it was impossible for a soldier like him to allow his family to come here, and Li Shouxin was not relieved... Taiwan's ships were not sunk either. Hutchison has sunk two small merchant ships, but fortunately there were no casualties. Small merchant ships usually brought no people on them, and there were small boats to rescue them. Fortunately, the ships were all in places with very dense routes, and the boats that fled on small boats were rescued within a few days.

"Thank you, Lord Sun." Li Shouxin stretched out his hands, and Sun Jingting's entourage handed him a thick letter.

Sun Jingting smiled and said, "Actually, after the Tangbao line was opened, the letters to and from now on are no longer as difficult as before. But I know that the senior staff of the marching department are already self-disciplined and are unwilling to use Tangma to deliver private letters."

Li Shouxin also smiled and said, "It's worth ten thousand yuan for family letters. Thank you sir. It's not that we don't want to, but if everyone wants to bring a few letters, I'm afraid that Tangma will be exhausted. I can only be self-disciplined at the top to avoid trouble."

Sun Jingting nodded with great appreciation. Hutchison is really prosperous now. Some things are not stipulated by the system, but are the conscious and voluntary behavior of everyone...

Everyone surrounded Sun Jingting and got on the bus and walked from the port area to the base area.

There were many busy people on both sides. They didn't squeeze in as soon as possible. After all, they felt that they were not the ones on the brand name. But when Sun Jingting's carriage passed by, many people who were busy in the port area and storage area squeezed over and looked at the passing carriage with curious eyes.

Taiwan is considered to be isolated overseas. This is the first time that we have welcomed the big figure in the headquarters. It is also a big figure that the senior executives of the marching department respect very much. These islanders and immigrants also feel fresh, full of curiosity and awe.

Sun Jingting also looked at the rows of houses on both sides. Now he knew the difficulty of opening up here. Every brick and every wood were obtained with blood and sweat. The old Shizhai District in front was built on the side of a river, and was built with simple wood. It was quite dilapidated. Moreover, the wood was gradually demolished and used. Shizhai District would soon disappear. At most, some buildings would be left as specimens for future generations to pay tribute to future generations... Of course, this was not the proposal of the marching department, but was mentioned by Zhang Han in the letter. The Chinese people had a slight lack of awareness of the protection of buildings, especially those with historical significance. If it were not for Zhang Han's letter, it would have been demolished to flat ground.

The storage area is really big. Sun Jingting estimated that the houses would cost more than a thousand rooms. Chang Wei was in the same car with him. Seeing Sun Jingting's eyes, Chang Wei said: "Originally, this area was the place where the deceased Li Dan and Mr. Li used it to store goods. Later, Yan Siqi and the others also built some warehouses. When we came, there were more goods, so hundreds of warehouses were built to store goods and daily necessities, including military supplies. Of course, in fact, we didn't use so many warehouses for the time being, so we were intentionally doing it."

Sun Jingting understood that Taiwan's immigrants, which originally had less than 10,000 people, had been extremely hard. Hutchison has moved more than 40,000 people in Liaodong in recent years. The entire base and the garrison have nearly 60,000 troops. This number was added in a short period of time, and the supply of materials has also increased rapidly. In order to ensure the supply of materials, ships to Tianjin and Denglai are just constantly stopping, but sometimes there will inevitably be when materials are about to bottom out. Build more warehouses to calm people's hearts. This is right.

"The port area mainly carries ships, loading and loading goods, mainly garrisons, naval officers, soldiers, students, and wise men. Then there is a storage area at the mouth of the river here, which is convenient for transporting things from the inland and also for us to transport them. From the storage area and into the interior, there are workshop areas along both sides of the river."

Chang Wei pointed to a large building complex and introduced: "Those tall ones with chimneys are dryers. We are baking wood all year round, using coke transported from the north, which is labor-saving money than cutting wood. There is a wood cutting area, and we have to make the wood into masts, various cabin parts, decks, ship buildings, etc. There is an iron tool area. A large ship needs to use various iron tools, and only iron nails are required to exceed ten thousand. Last year, we ordered from the Military Office. This year, because a large number of craftsmen came, we have started to make our own products, saving thousands of miles of transport. There is a construction area, with a waterway, and the hull is built in the waterway, from the dragon

The bones start from laying the deck and all the sail ropes for the ships, and you can put them into the sea. Of course, it is not just built, but also paint and oil. After a long time, it is a qualified ship. It can't last long for a long time to go down the sea to rush... Brother Xiaozheng saw that there is a sail rope area, and the ropes used for each large ship are made from here. Each ship needs to use a large number of ropes and sails, which need to be strong, durable and gentle. The fabric requirements are very high. One main sail must at least exceed 10,000 stitches, which is labor-consuming. There is a maintenance area. After sailing, the old ships need to be maintained in the port area and cleaned by scraping moss, otherwise it will not be possible after a long time..."

Sun Jingting listened quietly. Chang Wei was almost as clear as his family. Everything in front of him was built by him with one hand and one kick. This is the pride of the young man in front of him... Although Chang Wei's rise did not follow common sense, Zhang Han trusted him more, and did not recognize him too many people, unlike other mature marching officials who were middle-aged. They had to reach a high position after experiencing the sinister and many hardships of the world. They often worry that he was a young man for the sake of success. As a result, he was not necessarily as smooth as middle-aged people, but his motivation and motivation were not comparable to those people. Sun Jingting secretly praised in his heart. Zhang Wenlan knew people in the end. This cousin used no mistakes, not like what the military officials secretly discussed in the military department. Mr. Chang Wei was like slaughtering money, so there was no reward in Taiwan yet... This is a slander. He had to kill this unhealthy trend when he went back.

"It's really nothing, and it won't be smart." When Sun Jingting saw the manufacturing site of the Firearms Bureau and the dark heavy artillery, he couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart.

"The cast guns on Taiwan are all heavy artillery, and the lightest ones are also nine-pound cannons, which are all small cannons. Now they are mainly casting twenty-four pounds, and they are also trying to cast thirty-six-pound cannons or even heavier cannons." Chang Wei said calmly: "Arson is a powerful weapon for naval battles. Although firing ten cannons may not be a single shot, but once one cannon is shot, the boat will immediately crush, and the big ship will also collapse, and the hull will pierce, hit the mast and rudder, which means victory will be won. When one cannon, the personnel on the ship will be plowed by blood. In front of the cannon, any individual's bravery is meaningless, so we have been casting heavy artillery. The heavier the artillery, the greater the power it exerts during naval warfare. The heavy artillery of the Dutchman has already had a heavier heavy artillery, and it is difficult for one person to hold the shells. After a naval battle, people will be tired of losing their strength."

Sun Jingting kept nodding... On the grassland, four-pound cannons were powerful enough. The nearly four-pound cannons weighing nearly four pounds were plowed out in the crowd. Those who were in charge would die. Beilu was frightened to death when they heard the cannons, and regarded the cannons as magical objects. Later, there were six-pound cannons and nine-pound cannons, but nine-pound cannons were the limit of riding artillery. The twelve-pound cannons weighed 3,500 pounds, and more than a dozen horses could not keep up with the marching speed of the troops... There was no problem with horsepower, and the accessories could not withstand the rapid bumps.

On Taiwan, the smallest one is also a nine-pound cannon, which can only be used as small shore defense cannons, and they are also equipped with small whistle ships. The minimum standard for the main gun of the naval gun is twenty-four-pound cannons, generally twenty-four-pound cannons with thirty-six-pound cannons. A ship of thirty-forty cannons are all thirty-six-pound cannons, all of which are thirty-six-pound cannons. A shell weighs for several forty kilograms, whistling out... It is conceivable how powerful it is.

Sun Jingting said sincerely: "Naval warfare is really two completely different systems from land warfare. I will only know it today."

Chang Wei said: "Brother Wen Lan also said that naval battles actually mean the army's courage to fight bayonets, and they dare not fight. No matter how fierce the artillery is, will there be no enemy? Do you have to build more warships than the Dutch to fight with them? This may not be the case."

Sun Jingting pondered: "As I am leaving, Wen Lan wrote me, saying that it was some thoughts on naval tactics, and I will look back to you and the generals of the navy."

"Okay." Chang Wei agreed happily. His admiration for Zhang Han was unreserved. Zhang Han had a letter, and there must be something important to say...

"Then is the school district. This is the school school for adult naval officers and soldiers. Half of Fujianese and Liao people are each from the Liao people. The Liao people mainly use the people from the South. They are originally near the sea. They know water and can drive boats first. There are 1,500 trainees. The instructors mostly use Portuguese and Russians, and there are also a small number of French, Germans, and there are 110 trainees. More than 90% of them are foreigners. Our own instructors now have only a few. They are military officers invited from the Fujian navy. They are illiterate and can only teach experience. However, there are many foreign instructors who are illiterate, who only teach how to draw ropes, how to raise sails, when to raise masts and fall down, or cut off masts during crisis..."
