Chapter 335 Mao Ge betel nut
The situation in Temple Street has temporarily stabilized, and Cao Mufang has helped to make the right to the right, which Cao Mufang never expected. This article was first published by..... More latest chapters are visited: ww. Of course, the above also sent a deputy Zhang Haisan to come. Zhang Haisan has followed Chief Executive Mao for four years, and Cao Mufang did not dare to underestimate it at all. Cao Mufang thought to himself, is this the legendary military supervisor!
After replenishing the material, Cao Mufang learned from his previous lessons and did not rush to sweep away the bandits who were "dang" Ha Nuer's sect, but instead took steps to consolidate the territory and rebuilt the Temple Street Castle. It was soon a long snowy winter. In the cold winter, the "Work Army" could only adhere to the word "guarding" and guard the territory of the Temple Street within a radius of dozens of miles. It would be great.
However, there is not no good news. Although a Hanuer Tsai was eliminated, no matter where it was, there were no shortage of local people who knew the current affairs. New leadership party appeared, and more than one! The leaders of two small tribes chose to resolutely bet on the side of the "Work Army". They had fought against the Jin court before, just to be less exploited. Now, the "Work Army" has come. Not only has there been no exploitation, but also gave some benefits. In addition to giving benefits, they also drew a big cake. In the face of interests, fools would choose to follow.
The "Work Army" said that following the "Work Army" of Da Sakhalin Island, the future is not ordinary. There is no need to worry about food, cotton coats, biscuits, candies, etc., and you can enjoy the good life and enjoy the happiness of the "Work Army" without any chance of running out.
The "Work Army" on the Northern Line stabilized the situation, which made the Sakhalin Island travelers let go of their hanging hearts.
Compared with the situation of the "Industrial Army" on the northern front, the "Industrial Army" on the southern front Vladivostok can be said to be smooth sailing.
When Han Tuozhou led his fleet to Vladivostok, Vladivostok's castle had already taken shape. The logs and 'mixed' concrete diamond castle design, and powerful firepower configuration, in Han Tuozhou's view, even if there are tens of thousands of Jin soldiers, it would be difficult to nibble the fortress. What's more, the cold winter here is also a great enemy of fighting for the Jin soldiers, so Han Tuozhou believes that the "Work Army" has laid this nail in Vladivostok this year and will develop into a considerable territory in the coming year.
Through continuous "exchange" with the indigenous people, now, the Jinjiao Bay in Vladivostok and even the land territory on land belongs to the "working army". After visiting the Jinjiao Bay and listening to Liu Wenbin's explanation, Han Tuozhou couldn't help but sigh that this Jinjiao Bay is indeed a good harbor built in heaven.
Why is it called Jinjiao Bay? Han Tuozhou looked at the sand table and understood the origin. By the way, this Jinjiao Bay is like a cow's horn "insert" into the land, forming a "niggan-shaped bay" surrounded by land. The pointed head of the cow's horn deeply penetrates into the depths of the land, and the big head of the cow's horn faces the sea. Jinjiao Bay extends into the land from southwest to northeast, and the "koo" is about 7 kilometers long. The bay at the entrance of Jinjiao Bay is about 2 kilometers wide, with a water depth of 20 to 30 meters, and the bay is less than 1 kilometer wide, and the water depth is 10 to 20 meters. The bay is surrounded by low mountains and surrounded by hills, and the situation is dangerous. From the terrain, it can be called a super natural harbor given to mankind by nature.
If Vladivostok had not been somewhat congenital in climate, Jinjiao Bay could have been ranked among the top three in the world as a good port. But Vladivostok's ice in winter is 100 to 110 days (from early December to mid-to-late March of the following year). Later generations of Maozi had icebreakers, and the icebreaker Maozi could still be used for navigation. The problem is that in this way, the cost of navigation is not generally high. The navy was originally a money-burning business, and the sea of Maozi
The army burns more money than the navy of other countries, so after the collapse of the Soviet Union and Mao’s national strength plummeted, the navy could only sell its strength to barely maintain it. The climate of Vladivostok also has a disadvantage that is not conducive to navigation, which is that Vladivostok is foggy in summer and autumn. Among them, there is an average of foggy day from June to August. Fog will of course affect navigation. Therefore, although Vladivostok has a prominent strategic position and a super terrain, it cannot be called a real good port.
However, for travelers, Vladivostok is not good, it is better than any port on Sakhalin Island. Whether it is Dabo or Maoka, it is far ahead of them in the Golden Horn Bay.
After Han Tuozhou's fleet arrived, the time for Liu Wenbin to bombard the Shuangchengzi was ripe. At the request of Han Tuozhou, several warships under Han Tuozhou participated in the shelling operation. Han Tuozhou followed Liu Wenbin and followed the fleet upstream along the Suifenhe River. After arriving at Shuangchengzi, dozens of "gate" cannons bombed Shuangchengzi, killing the Jin people in the city, fleeing with their heads in their arms. The Jin soldiers were extremely angry and tried to rush out of the "gate" to counterattack. As a result, they were intercepted by artillery fire on the "Work Army" ship. They suffered heavy losses and had to retreat back to the city. After showing off their force, Shuangchengzi was probably destroyed and the fleet was finally able to evacuate leisurely.
Han Tuozhou was in a great mood, but unfortunately winter came soon. The "Work Army" on Vladivostok had no intention of launching a new offensive, and then he was just preparing to build a city in Vladivostok to survive the winter. Although Han Tuozhou was still unsatisfied, he also understood that the "Work Army"'s approach was a wise choice. Considering that the war against Dali in the Song Dynasty had already begun, the East China Sea Fleet had to do was to be ready to restrain the Jin people at sea at any time. The main battlefields of the warships he led would be the East China Sea, Bohai and Huanghai. So, in early September, Han Tuozhou's fleet anchored in the cold wind of Vladivostok, heading south and sailing directly to the Song Dynasty.
Liu Wenbin immediately led the "Work Army" warship and returned to Sakhalin Island within a day.
Winter on Sakhalin Island has arrived, snow flowers are rising, and a picture of the northern country is in front of you. Liu Wenbinha breathed a sigh of relief, surrounded by a team of guards, and came to the Dongrui Town Command.
"Good job! Your southern line is worthy of expectations and didn't worry us. Good job! Thank you for your hard work!"
Faced with Mao Geng's praise, Liu Wenbin smiled and said:
"This is not worth mentioning. Isn't it just occupying some unpopular territory? Vladivostok is good, but in the era without giant ships, you can find a river port or a bay that sheltered from the wind, so the importance of Vladivostok is not as important as we imagined in this era. The natives of the Jin people did not take this Golden Horn Bay seriously at all. Of course, they were just small boats like small rows. In their eyes, Golden Horn Bay was not as valuable as any river bank on the banks of the Suifen River!"
This is also a fact. Jinjiao Bay is still far apart from the sea entrance of Suifenhe. For the Jin natives who have been accustomed to fishing and hunting in this area, fishing catches in Suifenhe is relatively reliable. As for fishing in the sea, it is of course difficult to "touch" the "door" path of the Jin people's fishery.
"The Golden Horn Bay in Vladivostok is of course of no value in the hands of those natives, but when it comes to our hands, it is different! In short, taking over Vladivostok and successfully taking root there is a great achievement." Mao Geng sighed and said, "In comparison, our northern line operation is not as smooth as the southern line, and the losses are also greater! In the blink of an eye, more than 200,000 yuan of money were gone! It was burned by a fire. Alas! War is simply a machine to swallow money!"
In fact, Mao Geng's words are a bit exaggerated. The material loss in Temple Street is quite a lot, but it is not without gains. The account depends on how to calculate it. There are losses of more than 100,000 yuan. As for the loss of more than 200,000 yuan, that is Mao Geng's algorithm. Mao Geng has been doing profitable transactions with input and output over the years. It is not very habitual to do such a loss-lossing transaction for the first time. Liu Wenbin was thinking in his mind at this moment, my boss, are you really a treacherous businessman in the foreign world, and you have to count capital costs, opportunity costs, etc.! Boss, this is a bit too much!
So Liu Wenbin immediately calculated the accounts for the time travelers present:
"Isn't the war in the southwest started? I heard that regular soldiers of the Song Dynasty had to chew two betel nuts a day. For 50,000 soldiers, they had to chew 100,000 betel nuts a day. The migrant workers followed the army had to chew more than 50,000 pieces of betel nuts a day. The ratio was one piece every two days, and they had to chew 30,000 pieces a day. 130,000 pieces a day, three cents a day, we can earn two cents a day. The consumption of betel nuts from the Song Dynasty soldier Dali alone would allow us to earn 260,000 pieces a day. Well, it was 260 stagnant, and it would be 7,800 stagnant per month. It should be no problem to earn 90,000 stagnant a year." Liu Wenbin paused, and saw that Mao Geng was not angry, so he continued: "Of course, this is just a
At first, I believe Long Jiu's judgment will not be wrong. This time, the large-scale distribution of betel nuts in the army to prevent miasma. If the effect is good, the impact will be far-reaching. In the end, like cigarettes, it will become an addictive food popular in the Song Dynasty and even the whole world. Haha, it is better to say it is an anesthetic than food. Haha, I think that by next year, the betel nut will bring us a profit of 500,000 yuan a year, and it should not be a problem. Maybe the year after that, the profit of betel nuts will exceed one million. Therefore, leader Mao, you don't have to worry about our finances. The income from betel nuts alone is enough for us to fight a war of attrition with the Jin soldiers."
The Song Dynasty court could not fight unprepared battles when attacking Dali. One of the things that it had to face was the prevalence of miasma in Dali. For this reason, Lao Peng solemnly proposed to the Song Dynasty that the soldiers who were expeditioning to Dali and all the migrant workers who followed the military and migrant workers could effectively resist the poison of miasma.
Betel nut has the effect of eliminating poison and preventing malaria. Lao Peng also soaked sugar, wine and other 'medicine' materials according to the later production method of betel nut. While the 'medicine' is improved, it is also more addictive. This thing was the first to produce by Long Jiu. Long Jiu was unable to transplant tobacco leaves from the Americas now. The cigarette he had with his own hands could not be released. However, without cigarettes, it does not mean that there is no other substitute. Betel nut is actually similar to cigarettes. After giving gimmicks such as "toxic, anti-virus, non-toxic and strengthening", he slowly began to equip medical and medicine in the army to prevent and control miasma. Previously, during his expedition to Luzon, he tried to let soldiers chew "Brother Mao's betel nut" to prevent miasma, and found that the effect was good. Of course, it was just a 'medicine' and had not yet developed to the point of treating miasma.
But this time it was different. Even the non-combat mortality rate in large-scale combat was unacceptable even if the non-combat mortality rate was not high. Therefore, Lao Peng's suggestion was readily adopted by the Song Dynasty court, which cherished the lives of soldiers. Now, the soldiers who went to Dali can chew two slices of betel nut every day. So far, the soldiers' reaction to "Brother Mao" is quite positive. Therefore, Liu Wenbin's statement may be good. By next year, the whole Song Dynasty may chew "Brother Mao".--32133dsuaahhh29284890-->
