What was the first city to build?

As a coastal port city, the first one to be built is definitely a wharf, which is actually a wharf. The so-called wharf is to use wooden piles to drive piles from the beach, all the way to the deep water area, and then build wooden beams and wooden boards, and the wharf where ships can be berthed will be completed.

Of course, this is just a simple dock, and the real dock is certainly not so simple.

But now, having such a dock in Nanhua is enough to meet the needs of cargo loading and unloading.

After having a pier and adding wooden pulley cranes, the rest is easy to deal with, such as carriages, sawn machines, and even steam engines, all of which were moved from the boat.

It is easy to do things, but in just half a month, a town on the banks of Qingshui River in Nanhua Bay was first revealed. Although these wooden houses seem simple and require ten people to squeeze into a room, what else do they desire for for those who have just gained freedom?

The problem of living is easy to solve. Although there are not many big trees on the mountain, it is more than enough to build a house, but Nanhua's economy is absolutely impossible to rely on real estate. In such a place where there is nothing to build a city and port, the most important thing is to reclaim wasteland.

Chinese workers are definitely experts in this regard. Although Ma Geng was a little unfamiliar with European heavy wheels at the beginning, they simply adapted and soon they reclaimed thousands of acres of land on both sides of the Qingshui River.

"Young Master, look, this land is so fat, so fat..."

Li Changchuan sighed as he grabbed a handful of soil that was turned up by the plowshare.

"If you can make such soil, you can make oil if you put it in your hometown in Hubei. Not to mention the common people, even the landlords and wealthy people can fight for the top of the situation when they hit such land. But if you put it on this, it's just so wasteful. It's such a pity."

"Stop talking about this, Brother Changchuan, even when we were in the mine, the land there was also fat, but it wasn't just used to grow forests..."

Listening to their words and words, Mr. Zhu smiled and said.

"There is not much of this place, but there are many lands. Don't worry, from this place thousands of miles east, there are such land everywhere, such black soil that can pinch oil in one hand and germinate a chopstick!"

The Pampas Plain is one of the four largest black soils in the world!

In terms of natural conditions, the natural conditions here are even far better than the Northeast Plain and the Ukrainian Plain, which is the Mississippi River Plain in North America, but compared with the Mississippi Plain, where the continuous blizzards and the continuous blizzards, the climatic conditions here are even better. There are neither blizzards in winter, extreme cold nor summer hurricanes. This is definitely a rare blessed land on earth.

But will this blessed land belong to you?

Faced with this fertile land, Zhu Xianhai couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Whether they are the Mapuches who live here or the Argentinians, will they tolerate the emergence of third parties?

However, this doesn't matter.

Looking at the valley surrounding Nanhua Bay, Zhu Xianhai showed a satisfied smile.

This valley is thirty or forty kilometers wide from east to west, and more than twenty kilometers wide from north to south. The valley seems to be surrounded by mountains, but in fact it is just a undulating mountain. It is better to say that it is a undulating grassland, woodland, and there are many rivers around the bay, which ensures that the water source here is not a problem.

With sufficient land and water, coupled with the surrounding terrain, this place is definitely the best choice for "despicable development".

Moreover, it is a bay with its own estuary. If a factory is built here, transportation is not a problem.

What's more important is that although this place is hidden enough, it is actually not too far from human civilization.

For example, the distance between Bedema is only 150 kilometers.

The distance is not far or near, just right. You can buy some horses from there to plow the fields. Of course, this distance will also eliminate the snooping of outsiders.

"Descendant development" takes time.

As long as there is enough time, by the time the Argentines realize their existence, they may be ready.

Of course, the premise is that you are indeed prepared enough!

What to prepare?

“One, two, one…”

In the distance, the two armed guards were conducting military training with Brian's command. Although Brian was Elizabeth's coachman, he served in the army before he went from his hometown in Europe to Argentina and even participated in the Crimean War. Although he was a sergeant, he was absolutely fine to conduct basic training. Of course, Zhu Xianhai would also take time to train them personally and tell them some simple tactics, which was to determine the "master-apprentice status". In the traditional Chinese culture, the status of "teacher" is second only to the "father". How can you not seize such an opportunity?

Almost on the day of "Landing Day", Zhu Xianhai drew 200 people from the Chinese workers to form an escort team and equipped them with weapons - both the Henry rifle and the Enfield p1853 rifle.

However, this is only the first step.

While the guards are training, all Chinese workers need to be trained. According to Zhu Xianhai's plan, all Chinese workers must conduct one hour of military training every other day, with one training day every week and full-day training.

This will definitely affect land reclamation and urban construction.

But Zhu Xianhai thought it was a big deal at all, and even felt that his foundation was still too thin.

The first batch of escorts trained had only two hundred people, and these two hundred people seemed to be quite a lot. On the side of Bedema, there were only fifty or sixty soldiers under the Second Lieutenant Philip.

But the problem is that there are more than 100,000 Mapuche people living on the Great Plains of Pampas and the Patagonian Plateau. They rode war horses like lightning to attack everywhere. If they accidentally, they might have put their own nests in a row.

Of course, if there were a few Maxim, no matter how many Mapuches were, they would be a bit of scallion. If you sweep them back and forth, you would probably have almost completely cleaned up.

But the problem is that Zhu Xianhai did not.

Even the weapons are pitifully few.

In addition to the weapons he bought from Buenos Aires, he seized more than 100 long and short guns from the mines, with different short guns. In addition to more than a dozen Henry rifles, there are dozens of Enfield p1853 rifles.

The equipment guard must be enough, but he has more than 1,800 Chinese workers!

This is his real team. With this team, he can truly gain a foothold on this prairie.

So many simulations in the past have made him fully realize that in such a dangerous living environment in this world, force is the capital of self-protection.

Before that, he had money, but no one. That result was just the fat sheep in the eyes of those high-ranking officials and nobles.

But now that we have this armed force on hand, everything is very different. Even if someone wants to eat this fat sheep, he must first consider his teeth.

However, some things are unhurried, so come step by step!

Everything is difficult at the beginning!

Just like there are not enough weapons right now.

Staring at the guards who were conducting queue training, Zhu Xianhai frowned. There was one more important thing now - how to make money!

Now everything in Nanhua is burning money!

Construction requires money, and raising soldiers requires money. There are places where money is spent everywhere. Even if there are gold stolen from the gold mine, it will be burned for a day!

Money...you must make money first!

Fortunately, we have prepared a lot!
Chapter completed!
