Xin'anyang City is located on the second largest island in the Western Yindu Islands, probably in the later generations of Port-au-Prince of Haiti.
This place is under the jurisdiction of Xidaying, with 50,000 infantry soldiers stationed in Shenjiying, and a total of more than 200,000 troops, including the garrison and their families.
There are more than 200,000 people, which sounds like a lot, but in fact, it is not a big island at all.
Because it is as big as two Dongbans and several large plains, it is no problem to support 20 million people.
Unfortunately, there were not so many people working in the Ming Dynasty at this time, and all the laborers brought from the East were concentrated on the main island for development, so more than 90% of the arable land here was still empty.
Of course, even if less than 10% of the cultivated land was developed, the garrisons, the guards and their families here could not finish it.
Conservatively estimated that there are more than 20 million acres of arable land on this island, and even if less than 10% of it is developed, it will be at least about one million acres.
Moreover, the climate here is hot and the precipitation is abundant, and it is okay to plant rice for two or three seasons. In this way, the island produces at least two or three million stones of grain. What's more, they also raise cattle, and Sun Chuanting also equipped them with several large fishing boats, and they also lack fish and meat.
Life on this island is quite good, but the weather is too hot and it is a bit unbearable.
Of course, they didn't have any way.
For example, use fruits to make more fruits, dig more deep wells, and use fruits from deep wells to relieve the heat.
For example, dig a small pond less than one person deep, cover it with a shed, apply cement around it, and then slabs on it.
If the weather is too hot, just swim inside. It can not only relieve the heat but also practice water quality, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
In short, they have basically been sure to live here for generations, and their descendants will reproduce here in the future. Naturally, they have to work hard to build a better place so that they can live comfortably and let future generations enjoy their own happiness.
When Taichang led the fleet to Xin'anyang City, he couldn't believe his eyes.
There are rows of fruit trees and swimming pools everywhere outside Anyang City. Moreover, the swimming pool is a kind of pergola. There are countless men, women, young and old swimming in it, playing and eating fruits.
Well, how is this the same as the tourist attractions in later generations?
He turned his telescope and looked at the well-equipped Shenji Camp soldiers on the city walls and docks, and then looked at the common people playing outside the city, with a smile on his face.
It would be great that these people could live happily here. If the soldiers could not see their families for many years, it would be difficult for them to stay here for a long time.
At this time, Zhang Mingshi, the garrison in the city, had already received the news and hurriedly rushed from the city with a group of generals.
The Emperor also brought the Dreadnought and ASCHS guards, so it must have been the emperor.
Sure enough, after the hanging ladder of the Emperor was put down, the teams of guards surged down like a tide. Immediately afterwards, the emperor walked down with a group of guards and commander Luo Sigong of the Jinyiwei, and others with a smile.
Zhang Mingshi hurriedly brought a group of generals and schoolmen to greet him, lying on the ground and whispered aloud: "The last general welcomes the emperor."
This Zhang Mingshi is a veteran general of the Qi family army, so Taichang naturally knew him.
He hurried forward and raised his hands and said, "Mingshi, get up quickly, everyone should get up, don't be so polite."
Zhang Mingshi quickly said loudly: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
After saying that, he took a group of generals and schoolmen to get up from the ground.
Taichang looked at the beautiful scenery around him and couldn't help but exclaim: "Mingshi, I didn't expect you to turn this place into a paradise. It's good, it's really good."
Zhang Mingshi quickly said modestly: "It's just that the weather here is too hot and the family books of our soldiers are not as heat-resistant as we do, so he ordered people to find a way to get something to cool down."
Taichang nodded slightly and said, "Well, your method is very good. I didn't expect that I would still learn from you."
He really didn't expect it,
Otherwise, he would have built the swimming pool long ago, and it would be the same in Xinma City!
Zhang Mingshi was so scared that he bowed and said, "Oh, Your Majesty, I can't bear to learn anything that doesn't happen. If you like this thing, I will send someone to dig a large one for you, then build a large shed, and wrap it around with cloth curtains."
Why do you need to dig a large one and wrap around it with a curtain?
Taichang looked at the men, women, young and old who were playing in the swimming pool and understood immediately.
The people of this folk don’t have to worry about so much. Even when swimming and playing, they wear shorts, so it’s no big deal to let others see it.
However, the official lady and the female copy value these things very much.
Almost all those people don’t go out of the gate and don’t step in the gate, as if they are afraid of being seen by others.
This custom seems to have to be changed.
Taichang thought for a while and then asked, "Do you have a bigger pool here?"
Of course there is this one.
Zhang Mingshi was stunned for a moment, then asked carefully: "Master, are you trying to go to the pool to bubble?"
Taichang smiled and shook his head and said, "I don't have this time of leisure, but do I have a wife and children? They must want to play."
Uh, this is not suitable?
Zhang Mingshi hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not good if there are many people here, right?"
Taichang still smiled slightly and said, "What's the matter? Didn't you say it's okay to just use a cloth curtain to surround it?"
Alas, my stinky mouth.
It seems that the emperor has made up his mind and can't persuade him anymore.
Zhang Mingshi thought for a while, then shouted to the back: "Old Wang, isn't your pool the largest? Hurry up and ask your two wives to take their children home to play. By the way, let your two wives put the water first, brush it with soapy powder, rinse it a few more times before storing the water."
Hearing this, a guerrilla general under him quickly said "As for orders", and then ran towards the rows of swimming pools.
Taichang said with great interest when he heard this: "Can the water in this pond be changed at any time?"
Zhang Mingshi quickly explained in detail: "Yes, Master, these ponds were dug next to the river, and the terrain was relatively low.
Wei Chen specially ordered people to straighten the sides of the river a little, and apply cement to it, and the water was still very clean.
Moreover, Weichen ordered people to transplant many large fruit trees on both sides of the river, and the river water was relatively cool.
We just need to open some channels on the river bank and add a gate to the pool to divert water at any time.
As for water release, Weichen ordered people to dig a lower trench on the other side of the pond and lead directly to the sea.
In this way, we can release the water quickly by opening a hole and adding a gate."
Oh, this design is really good.
Taichang nodded slightly, then raised his hand and let Liu Shiyou come over and explain it a few times. Liu Shiyou quickly walked up the Emperor's Case.
After a while, the concubines came down happily with the princess and a bunch of palace maids holding cloth.
Taichang had no choice but to play with them, so he could only raise his hand to call a female official and explain it carefully, then ordered Liu Shiyou to take a team of martial eunuchs to protect them.
He looked at his wife and children's cheerful steps and couldn't help but smile on his face.
But Zhang Mingshi stood there and didn't know what to do.
Did the emperor bring several empresses and princesses to play?
He is really hard to ask about this.
Fortunately, Taichang immediately said solemnly: "Mingshi, this island is enough, there is no problem to stuff hundreds of thousands of people in, right?"
Is this going to migrate hundreds of thousands of people?
Very good!
To be honest, it is too deserted to have hundreds of thousands of people in such a large island.
Zhang Mingshi nodded repeatedly and said, "Master, there are many places on this island. Except for the Xin'anyang City and several acropolises, we have reclaimed the fertile fields within 20 or 30 miles around the acropolis, more than 90% of the other places are empty."
Taichang nodded slightly and said, "Well, it's good that the place is enough. I'm going to migrate hundreds of thousands of people over.
These people were originally captured by the colonists and they hated the colonists very much.
We can use this to select the young and strong among them, practice it well, then give them weapons and equipment, and then let them deal with the colonists."
Uh, slave?
When Zhang Mingshi heard this, he was stunned.
He has never seen any slaves.
There may have been slaves on this island, but when they came, there was no one on it.
However, he is an expert in training troops. The reason why the Qi family army is powerful is not only because of its good weapons and equipment, but also taking up a large factor in daily training.
He was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Master, what weapons are you going to equip them with?"
This is very important.
After all, the focus of the exercise is to let people know how to use the weapons in their hands to kill the enemy and save their lives on the battlefield.
Moreover, the formation has a lot to do with weapons. The formation arranged by teams holding cold weapons and hot weapons is completely different.
Taichang has considered this.
He said without hesitation: "The swords, guns, shields and black iron armor are all set, and every 1,000 people is equipped with one thousand flintlock guns. In addition, I asked Xiyin Capital to build some bore-loaded cannons and artillery trucks, and give them every 10,000 people a hundred cannons of about two hundred kilograms and ten 500 kilograms of cannons. uu Reading www.uukanshu.com "
Well, isn’t this similar to the equipment of the Qi family army in the past?
Zhang Mingshi thought for a while and asked again: "Master, do you need some chariots and horses?"
Taichang really never thought about this.
