"Since you all believe in me, I, Dong Liang, will definitely not let you down."

"If you can live peacefully, no one would want to live with your head hanging over your head."

Now that the showdown has been made, Dong Liang is ready to tell these people some of his plans.

Otherwise, everyone will not know what to do, and they will inevitably have no idea when doing things.

"The captain is right. We have all been forced to get to where we are today. The court is incompetent, the landlords are unjust, and the foreigners are treacherous. How can we, the common people, survive?" Chen Deli agreed.

"Everyone, listen to me, we now have a boat and people, so we don't have to worry about food in the future. The main problem now is to deal with the Fuso people's revenge."

Dong Liang told everyone about the situation of the Fusang people on the island.

Then he continued: "From now on, I will take everyone to participate in military training. We must become stronger. As long as we become stronger, no matter what enemies we encounter in the future, we will have the confidence to protect ourselves. We can no longer be like today."

Normally, a dozen Fuso people would drive hundreds of us around."

"It's time to train. This courage comes from training." Wang Su was very brave in the countryside and was a warlike guy.

Today he was unable to participate in the counterattack against the Fuso people at the door, and he felt a little disappointed.

"We have four hundred people and dozens of foreign muskets. As long as we train properly, we still have a chance to kill these Fusang people."

"The Ryukyu people don't have an army of their own. If we can kill the Fuso people, then why can't we be the masters of this island?"

As soon as Dong Liang said these words, everyone was shocked.

"Captain, is this... okay?" Chen Deli stuttered.

"Why not? The Fuso people on this island belong to the Satsuma clan. The Satsuma clan is in Kagoshima, Kyushu. The territory they control is not as big as ours in Quanzhou. They have been able to control Ryukyu for three hundred years. Why can't we control the Yae Mountains?"

"As long as the four hundred of us are united and united, what does a mere Satsuma clan mean?"

"When we become stronger in the future, can't we go back and bring our families over to enjoy the happiness together? The island under our feet is also a hundred miles in radius, and there is a big island in the southwest that is even bigger than this one. The island has abundant rainfall and rivers.

It can also be developed into paddy fields."

"This will be our base camp from now on."

How could these Chinese workers have thought of this? Now listening to Dong Liang's description, every one of them is filled with longing.

People in Fujian Province have a tradition of going to sea. They are not like people from the mainland who settle down and move back home.

If there is a good way to survive, everyone is still willing to try it.

"There is another thing that you may not know. There is a war in Guangxi and Huguang right now. Hong Xiuquan, a man from Guangxi, founded the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and is about to attack Jiangning City. The whole south is going to be in chaos."

"What is this? These are troubled times. In these troubled times, do you still want to live a peaceful life and be ordinary people?"

Dong Liang has just talked about it here. As for his longer-term plan, these Chinese trade unions may not be able to accept it.

In their opinion, it is good to occupy a piece of land and allow their family to live a peaceful life.

It is too early to drag them to fight against the Qing Dynasty now.

Now that a consensus has been reached, Dong Liang begins to assign specific tasks.

He first said to Lin Ben, who was in charge of logistics: "Brother Lin Ben, you will take the people from the living group to the woods to burn charcoal in the past few days, and at the same time build an iron-making furnace in the camp. We are going to open the furnace to build our own weapons.

"

"Guo You, you take people back to the ship, deliver some food to Kang Baye and others, and at the same time, transport some of the ships' reserves back to the ship, and bring back the four eagle cannons."

Guo You assisted Chen Deli in charge of the sailor team. Chen Deli stayed on shore and had other matters, so he could only be asked to be responsible for liaison with the ship.

Dong Liang planned to use these ship nails to make a batch of spears.

Kang Baye took some guards on the ship to watch the foreign sailors working, and he could not come back for the time being.

Dong Liang would not be at ease if someone else replaced him.

Now there are only ten foreign sailors left, but no more accidents can happen.

"Chen Deli, go to Gongliang City, find the officials here, and negotiate with them to see if they can sell us some supplies. Food, cloth, fire salt, sulfur...the most important thing is iron. Of course, they

It would be better to sell weapons directly to us."

"Captain, can the Ryukyu government agree?" Chen Deli said. After all, they were just refugees drifting to the island.

"Just say that we are just self-defense, and Gong Liangcheng cannot provide us with protection. Of course, if they really don't agree, forget it. I guess they don't have much in their hands."

The Gong Liang government didn't have many soldiers, let alone weapons. Otherwise, would three hundred Fusang people dare to ride on their heads?

There is another very strange thing. There was quite a lot of fighting at the gate of the camp today.

But the Ryukyu government didn't respond at all. Isn't it strange?

Dong Liang didn't know what kind of medicine Xiang Bang was selling in the gourd.

He hasn't even seen this person yet.

Next Dong Liang assigned tasks to the remaining few people.

Dong Liang asked Ah Fu to select thirty people from the guards to form a musketry team.

This musketry team will serve as full-time guards in the camp and will not participate in labor.

He also planned to form two more spearmen, each with one hundred men, and give them to Wang Su and Peng Neng to lead.

Spearmen can form a square formation or fight alone.

With his current conditions, he can only make spears. Moreover, the tactical training of spearmen is also the simplest. The tactical actions are just stabbing, picking, and blocking.

Chen Deli was a good talker and temporarily acted as a liaison between the Chinese workers and the local government.

Dong Liang and others found tens of thousands of silver dollars on the ship, which were all earned by these Americans in the Qing Dynasty.

Dong Liang was not prepared to keep the money. If Gong Liang was willing to trade, Dong Liang would rather exchange the money for supplies.

Just after a few people had a meeting, Xiang Ying rushed to the camp again carrying a medicine box.

"Mr. Dong, are you okay? Why did these Fusang people come to the camp?" Xiang Ying said eagerly as soon as he saw Dong Liang.

"Medical Officer Xiang, I also want to know that these people not only came to the camp, but also used force against us. We had no choice but to fight back in self-defense and kill them."

"This is terrible, Mr. Dong, why don't you go and hide at my place. Those Fusang people will definitely come to take revenge." Xiang Ying rarely found an educated person with whom he could communicate. He didn't want to see Dong Liang being tortured.

Fuso people killed.

"Medical Officer Xiang, if I go to your place, what will happen to the hundreds of brothers here?"

Dong Liang spread his hands and smiled helplessly: "Thank you so much, Doctor Xiang. The soldiers will stop you, and the water will cover you. Those Fusang people can come if they want to cause trouble. We Chinese never cause trouble, but we are never afraid of trouble."

"Xiang Medical Officer, I would like you to help treat a few brothers. If possible, prescribe medicine for a few more days for those brothers who are suffering from fever."

"If the Fuso people come to besiege us, for the sake of safety, you should not come. I don't want you to get involved. This is a matter between us and the Fuso people. I don't think they will involve you."

Dong Liang said this, which moved Xiang Ying a little.

At the same time, he also felt a little ashamed. This was the land of Ryukyu, but he could not provide shelter to Dong Liang and the others.
