Chapter 25.23 Industry, Machinery, Plane Colonization(1/3)
At the end of the 41st year of Jiajing, the standing route from Fujian to Dayu Island was opened. A 1,500-ton iron-ribbed wooden hull ship set sail in Tong'an County and arrived at Jilong Port. The ship was named "Zhuge Zhi"
.
The Zhuge Zhi is powered by steam propellers. This ship has already crushed the maritime overlords of its time in terms of its power system.
This keel is steel from the 21st century, and the propeller packaging system is also 20th century craftsmanship. Of course, these modern industrial creations will be registered when they are used in this era, and they will be registered according to the register twenty years later.
Destroy them completely in turn, leaving no trace.
The hull has eliminated the heavy guns on both sides of the sail era, and instead uses a rotatable rifled gun mounted on the bow.
A Gatling gun with a clockwork structure is maintained at the stern and sides of the ship (hand-cranked too fast and can easily jam).
The naval guns on both sides of the sailing battleship weighed an average of 800 kilograms each, and weighed a full ton with the shells and combatants.
Carrying dozens of guns takes up more than 200 tons of tonnage, and the weight is still above the waterline. In order to maintain a stable center of gravity, the chassis must be equipped with ballast stones. In this way, the weight of the sailing battleship of 700 to 800 tons is almost consumed.
.
The Zhuge Zhi's cruising speed is eighteen knots, while the current sailing battleship's speed is ten knots. So even if it only has one gun, the advantage in speed cannot give a traditional battleship a chance to fire across it.
Moreover, the naval artillery shells used are brass shells carefully crafted on a lathe.
This is no longer described as a "several-pound gun", but as a caliber. The artillery has a caliber of 80 mm and a projectile of 35 kilograms. It adopts a breech loading mode and a "threaded gun gate", with a rate of fire per minute.
Three shots.
This is the level of Sino-Japanese War rapid-fire artillery, although there is only one. Well, this one is justice!
However, due to the restrictions of the "causal system", such a ship cannot participate in the naval battles along the East Asian coast at this time. It is just like the UFO flown by people in the future that came to the aerial battlefield of World War II. It can only maintain observation but cannot fire.
Zhuge Zhi is a merchant ship that transports more than 300 people at a time on Strait flights.
It's just that someone's "margin" requires one cannon, and the captain, first mate, and more than twenty people still have guns.
This large wave-breaking ship began to operate twice a day, four times a week, to transport people across the strait.
The people who disembarked from the ship at Jilong Port gathered quickly amidst the sound of whistles. The captain repeatedly issued orders to emphasize discipline. First, leggings must be well worn when crossing the grass, otherwise snakes, rats, ants, and ants will cause sores, which may lead to amputation. Second: Drinking raw food is strictly prohibited.
Water, diseases enter from the mouth, and miasma is hidden in the water...
After getting off the boat, rows of people began to repeat these precautions, carrying bags in twos and threes, and moved forward according to the path with small flags placed every 100 meters.
Each small flag has a six-digit code on it. When the militiamen patrolling the road discover the situation, they can accurately send people to report the accident section.
The leaders of the immigration team followed the map and took people to the marked reclamation camps for accommodation.
At present, this area is called Jilonggang, and there are 60 wooden fenced reclamation camps nearby.
…The forces of time and space now have no shortage of agricultural labor in the Ming Dynasty.…
Cultivated land has always been scarce in southern Fujian. Over the past six months, groups of young men have come to seek refuge in Waudao when they heard that food was beginning to be available.
The transaction price negotiated by the time traveler at the Wudao office with the local people is "bring one person and give one tael of silver. There must be no disability. If it is a complete family with children and the elderly, the price can be paid according to the Qing Dynasty on this basis."
The price comes in the prime of life.”
Wei Keng: “Any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.”
Therefore, due to the greed of human nature, those merchants who were not qualified to travel to the sea went to a whole village to bring people to a fixed place, and both their people and their wealth were cleared.
After receiving these people, the pioneer team made meals on the spot and gave these people who were looking for a living a meal to regain their composure, and then entered the public bathhouse to take a bath.
After five hours, everyone is asked to defecate once in the public toilet of the guest house, and the whole body is covered with disinfectant water. Old men and women are separated. Children and old people are boarded separately. (Note: After this kind of meal, wait five hours before boarding the ship. This
This is the experience gained from cleaning up seasick vomit on the ship many times before.)
There are quite a few people with sneaky looks among them.
These guys observed the big ship when they got on board, and whispered to each other after getting off the ship.
Of course, their whispering is against discipline. Those stewards selected by the previous wave of immigrants are now very proud to wear the red "management" armbands. When they see these new immigrants who ignore their official authority, they will not hesitate to use sticks.
call.
Later, these recordkeepers who learned to read also recorded the names of these people.
As long as you learn 200 words in the Kentuo Club and know how to use calculations, you can get an additional salary of 100 cents per month.
...well-organized and highly resistant to low-end penetration of this feudal system...
The more than a thousand travelers who have come to this time and space are all men. In the Ming Dynasty, they were considered "heroes" who needed to be physically strong and capable.
The time travelers formed a group, issued orders to the surrounding natives every day, transmitted knowledge, and instilled an amount of information that far exceeded any team in this era.
Therefore, even if Wei Keng knew that various forces were quietly sneaking in, he was not worried. Wei Keng said: "As long as you reach my territory, it is not up to you whether you can act freely or not, and whether you can think freely or not is not up to you."
For the initial training of the camp, please refer to the information bombing mode of the MLM cave in modern times.
This kind of super-era thing is like a spiritual Maxim against the people of Ming Dynasty.
That's right, when Mr. Wei recruited people, he thought of pirates and spies from other maritime forces! Passively guard against them? That's too stupid. It's normal to use the mental "heavy machine gun" to harvest them.
Within thirty days, the minds of those infiltrators with calluses on their fists and feet were filled with "team building".
These natives of the Ming Dynasty were indoctrinated by the time-travelers' brainwashing words of "new future" and "a good man must have great achievements". No matter how loyal they were to their original masters, they began to ask themselves whether they should change camps and engage in "real manhood".
Things like "Look at the world".
In the 21st century, in the "MLM Demon's Cave", those who can describe "eating chaffy vegetables" as a "test before success".
What's more, there are future time and space forces with multiple capitals in technology, real estate, and business channels.
The time traveler's reclamation meeting on Dayuan can really give the landless people a chance to reclaim land safely, especially after disembarking. Those spies originally thought that more than half of the reclamation team would be killed or injured by factors such as "malaria" and "miasma", but they ended up with their own stomachs.
After being saved by "artemisinin" and survived, they all had to start to be in awe of the "immortals" mentioned by the Kentuo team.
At this time, the Time and Space Legion chose to suddenly launch a large-scale cross-sea immigration, taking advantage of the Ming Dynasty's maritime ban in Fujian.
Ten years ago, Zhu Wan strictly banned the sea, which caused "popular resentment" to boil over. He was eventually impeached and committed suicide in the 29th year of Jiajing.
Now no one in the court has banned the sea. The sea is now lawless. All kinds of pirates have emerged.
These pirates are usually fishermen, but they will be murderous when they find an opportunity.
Therefore, ninety-nine percent of the people who went to Wu Island were unruly people, and there were not many good family members.
Wei Keng was very tolerant: "It's okay to be unruly, but I don't want them if they're not rebellious! If we want to compete with other colonists for territory in the future, we need such talents. Armed with a unified goal, we can rob other countries."
When they arrived at Wu Island, they were divided into teams of ten people, changed their clothes, and started to repair the canals with the superiors. After repairing the canals during the day, they learned to read under the light of "carbide lamp" at night. They worked for ten days every day.
, one afternoon, I started playing Cuju to vent my energy.
Both learning and training are ranked and updated on the blackboard every day.
Food, clothing, and salary are all based on ranking, and treatment is also based on order.
In the management of market-exploiting companies: everyone in the team needs to focus on the ranking of their own team. (The management of technology-accumulating companies is another type, such as the craftsmanship association.
Ranking.)
The chiefs of the Association allocated 80% of their time and energy, leaving them with 20% of their time. They still had energy and were still engaged in involution.
As for if someone can win the lottery like this, then of course he should be promoted and arrange for further training at the officer academy, and then serve as a centurion officer while studying in school.
There is a strict hierarchical system in the army of the Kentuo Society. When subordinates see their superiors, they must fist and palm each other (equivalent to a salute).
As time went on, the gangsters originally came to the island to "step on the spot".
After a few dozen days, they suddenly began to distrust each other and rushed to betray their teammates, hoping to completely join the ship of this new maritime power.
Wei Keng’s comment: It’s like a minor playing online games. He’s so focused on ranking, his team, and his parents that he keeps talking nonsense. What’s more, he’s a cold-natured guy.
...As a veteran time traveler, the farming development route is to eliminate all kinds of mistakes with the least resistance...
The resource management model of the industrial era developed in the base area in the late Ming Dynasty, and its growth rate was explosive.
In the 42nd year of the Jiajing reign, more than a dozen settlements with a population of 3,000 to 5,000 people were formed here on Dayuang Island and the mouth of the Tamsui River, which were continuously transported by steam ships.
Baodao has a subtropical marine climate, and the island's water system is still very developed, with a large number of lakes.
In the eyes of Wei Keng's water control experts, these lakes with different contours are the key to water storage for farming.
No matter how abundant the water system is, reasonable water conservancy projects must be implemented to ensure reclamation.
Wei Keng flipped through his Pandora Plane memo: In a feudal dynasty like China, water conservancy engineering talents are undoubtedly the top core talents. Most of these talents are concentrated in the rich areas of the Central Plains of Jiangnan. To ensure that the Huaihe and Yellow River basin water systems do not flood, and
Mulberry fields are irrigated, and they rarely reach the border areas.
This is equivalent to the early 21st century, when engineers from the top chips, aerospace and other high-profit industries fled to the United States, making it difficult for other countries to catch up.
Wei Keng somehow understood why there was no overseas farming in the late Ming Dynasty, but Westerners with strong commerce expanded their colonies! Because the farming model could not be developed overseas.
In the era of the Chinese dynasty, the training of "water conservancy experts" required at least thirty years of study. After completing the studies, they were already old. If they moved overseas and encountered epidemics, it would be wasted.
Wei Keng's spatio-temporal team's geological surveying and water conservancy planning team's level on contours exceeds that of the Ming Dynasty's essence area.
With the support of the water conservancy system, the organization of the reclamation team is far better than that of plantation agriculture, because the upstream and downstream water needs to be coordinated and allocated. Even if there is a large organization to allocate dozens of villages to hundreds of villages, this is not the case in the Ming Dynasty.
Regions are reflected in the distribution of corvee by the government.
And this kind of manpower mobilization structure can also be used in the military!
This is why the Chinese peasant uprisings were one dimension more destructive than those in Europe. Two hundred years later, Lanfang in the south could be wiped out so easily because the so-called Chinese families did not form the "water conservancy model" of the Han Dynasty.
To be continued...
