The phoenix is ​​always like this. It declines again and again under the invasion of time, but can be reborn in the fire in the raging fire, and it is even more dazzling and dazzling, making people dare not look at it directly. Mao Jue's Xiongjin Shipyard is now like the phoenix. After more than ten days of the Japanese robbery, it has once again regained its vitality.

In fact, the grain and salary have not been shipped yet. More than 50,000 workers have no wages and no food. They can only rely on the little grain allocated to Xiongjin County every day to barely survive. There is only one meal a day, and no one can eat enough.

But these tens of thousands of craftsmen still fought their best, just like they had no choice but to do their best to work. The wood dried on the mudflats was transported to the shipyard by workers like ants. The pond on the beach was quickly cleaned up. On the third day, the 75-meter-long keel bones in the six ponds once again showed its proud figure.

Only when they have lost it can they know the preciousness. Even if Mao Jue is a Ming, the shipyard is the last hope for these refugees. If there is no place here, they will have nowhere to go. They will either starve to death or become despised depraved people, fearing that Mao Jue will be unhappy. These workers are so desperate that hundreds of people are tired in a day, forcing Mao Jue to have no choice but to force the order to be divided into three shifts and rest time. These refugee workers are not allowed to go out and must rest and sleep in the dormitory.

The power of the gentry in the Li family and North Korea made Mao Jue look at him with admiration. On the third day, Mao Jue's own supplies had not yet been shipped, and the supplies Li Yuanyi obtained through the Dongren Party had already entered the shipyard. This batch of supplies included iron tools, food, clothing, and quilts, and trucks of coal, limestone and volcanic ash that Mao Jue urgently needed. The Li Dynasty is mountainous and there are really a lot of volcanic ash resources. It is not difficult to obtain materials, but the difficulty lies in transporting them from the mountains to the shipyard. For this reason, Li Yuanyi, a retired leader, can even mobilize 5,000 Korean Taoist soldiers to transport them specifically. The old man's old face is really valuable.

With these things, there are more places for Mao Jue to play.

"One, two, three, fall!"

As the shouting of horns were shouting, a sandbar deep into the sea to the east of the shipyard, solidified concrete blocks were pushed into the sea with a clatter of splashing water. The shipyard workers who were pushing the wheelbarrow immediately ran backwards. As they went back and forth, a small tidal flat buried under the sea during the high tide had been paved.

On the nearby stone hills, hundreds of workers were strolling and hammering and desperately pounding and digging on the granite-textured stone hills, continuously transporting the gravel. In the shipyard, lime powder was then produced, combined with volcanic ash, mixed with cement, and then placed in wooden troughs to solidify into concrete blocks.

At the end of the Warring States Period, Li Bing and his son of Qin also filled water to build Dujiangyan. However, Mao Jue was not so ambitious. He was satisfied with filling a few hundred square meters. Xiongjin Shipyard was indeed well-regarded, with great tides and inland river tidal flats. When the tide was low, the ship could be directly pushed into the sea through the inland river channel. It can be defended. There is no danger here. This time, the Japanese pirates' attack was that Gong Xiaozao ship rushed directly to the mudal flats. A large number of Japanese pirates climbed over Mao Jue's shipyard wall and rushed in to kill and set fire. There was still sand nearby and there was no place for defense. So Mao Jue made up his mind this time and wanted to build an English shore defense castle in the position where the Japanese pirates attacked in the southeast.

Once the turret was standing on the sea, the Japanese pirates' ships were closed. Xiaozao, the Qianshi Ship dared to come again? He could not be killed!

However, even the best ships still need people to guard them, but what Mao Jue lacks the most now is people. Even if the territory of Yizhou and the two counties is only about 50,000, or less than 60,000. Apart from the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, males from fifteen to fifty are only about 23,000 to fifty. This is due to the blessing of almost all refugees from Liaodong in Dongjiang Town. Most of the elderly and weak have been filtered out by war and famine. Most of the people who survive are strong, which can achieve such a proportion.

Mao Jue now has an arsenal under his command, which requires manpower, brewery, cement plants, manpower, road construction, manpower, castles, and manpower. The largest farming requires manpower. After all, it is empty to eat money and silver. Mao Jue's social model is undoubtedly advanced, but unfortunately the population can no longer keep up with his pace of industrialization.

Especially Tieyi is still a military town. This time, Mao Jue's Iron Yi Corps suffered heavy losses and was facing expansion and reorganization. It still needed manpower. Mao Jue was almost unable to gather the corps in Tieyi, so there were still troops to guard the shipyard. So he was forced to create a system that had always been enough to influence the huge military town under his command for many years.

Foreign mercenary group system!

Bingyuan directly selected young and strong people from Nanhai refugees, and his treatment was more than one level lower than Mao Jue's Iron-Bulle Corps. He only had 500 yuan in military pay, one stone of coarse grain, and two dou of fine grain each month. This price was probably not even a textile worker in the wealthy places in Changshu, Yingtian, and Changshu, Jiangnan, and they were probably not even able to recruit textile workers, but among the refugees who had almost no salary and were just in charge of food, it was no less than the temptation of a rich son-in-law.

Moreover, if you want to get into a regular worker and foreman, you also need to have skills and qualifications, but you can just be a soldier and have the strength to do it!

So as soon as Li Yuanyi's food arrived, everyone had enough food, and Mao Jue immediately ordered recruitment. Two thousand four hundred stupid Koreans were recruited into the army and formed three Xiongjin mercenaries.

It is easy to deal with the military source. Mao Jue now has a lot of officers with the most precious military resources these days. After experiencing the battle with the Japanese and the cruel night melee of the Battle of the Daling River, most of the surviving personal soldiers are qualified to be the commanders of the lower-level officers, and there is no shortage of higher-level talents. For example, Sun Chun, the deputy artillery commander, the artillery soldiers were originally following the reserve troops behind the back to break through the Eight Banners position under the cover of a huge sea musket whistle on the trench. However, with his combat awareness, he actually brought about twenty artillery soldiers and more than eighty guards to hold down the attack of a Niulu of Zhenglan Banner, creating an opportunity for Mao Jue to siege Huang Taiji Golden Tent.

However, Mao Jue doesn't have many officers on hand now, just over a hundred personal guards around him. So Wen Meng is the one who is the chief instructor again.

Although the autumn is approaching at the end of August, the autumn tiger is still very hot. The sun is so hot that people are emitting oil. The shipyard is still busy. The laborers carrying large woods sweat and transport logs without any rest. The carpenters holding the axes and saws also have no time to lit cigarettes. The wood on hand has smoked. In the pond, the boatmen who soaked in the salty sea water, half of their bodies are soaked, and their hair is soaked, so they are soaked in the salty sea water.

On the other side, two thousand and four hundred Goryeo mercenaries were shining in the sun.

Meng Guang's arrow was hit by eight arrows in this battle, and there were so many scratches on his body. But Mao Jue was still squatting in the office to recuperate. However, this guy was already active in the open space of the mudflats. Mao Jue even doubted whether he had a mental illness. This guy was unprecedentedly enthusiastic about "fucking" a man.

Just as his thick voice almost suppressed the noise in the shipyard, echoing unpleasantly on the mudflats.

"It's all for me to be more energetic! How good your life is! Look at the other end, you can't get a hundred dollars in a month. You don't have to do anything. Just standing, you can get five hundred cents in a month. You can still smoke cigarettes and eat wheat! You don't want to repay the kindness of your elders. Are you a beast? Tell me! I stand up straight for me, and dare to squat until dark!

Now I don’t even have a flintlock rifle on hand, so these new recruits cannot be idle. Therefore, the most powerful military posture training and queue training fill the mercenary group’s agenda. At first, I heard that the soldiers didn’t have to work, just standing and walking. A group of young Koreans broke their heads and applied, but when they really worked hard, nine out of the ten here would regret it. Listening to the thrilling and exhausted villagers and brothers in the distance, they wanted to change it.

Whoever stands knows!

It’s okay to quit now. Just leave your head and Mao Jue generously releases it. Of course, if you can still eat, work and sleep with your wife without your head, then Mao Jue doesn’t care.

Almost one personal soldier looked at thirty people standing on the beach like a stance. One by one, the Goryeo recruits really didn't even dare to move. If they annoyed these Ming soldiers, they would be caught out and squatted. That thing, even if the recruits who had squatted once did not dare to commit the crime again, even if they were tired and cramped, they would not dare to commit the crime again.

But today seemed like their lucky day. On this day, I had just been in military training for half an hour. Suddenly, a shadow of sail appeared from the sea level on the beach. The castle had not been cast yet. For the sake of sea defense, Mao Jue ordered several wooden racks five or six meters high on the shore. The whistle guards on it blew whistles and shook the two small flags in his hand. Wen Meng couldn't help but turn his head. Looking at the flag for a moment, the old guy showed an excited complaint on his face.

"Fatty Su is finally here!"

He also blew a whistle hard, and the personal soldiers of Mao Jue who were called the Living King of Hell walked out of the queue. The Gaoli soldiers in the team immediately sat limply on the ground. But soon, the guys gathered together in groups of three or three, took out a scythe, and each of them held a squirt in their mouths, and then they began to swear, and their faces showed a look of enjoyment.

Later generations accompanied the pace of the US military in World War II. Camel brand cigarettes, Coca-Cola, Jeep, and chewing gum brought the world a cultural color of the US military. During World War II, each soldier of the US military could be assigned five to seven packs of cigarettes a week. These tobaccos did help the recruits calm down after the cruel and bloody battle, allowing the blood-filled veterans to enjoy a rare tranquility in the trenches. Before a series of Pacific island battles, cigarettes made the landing US military highly concentrated. The victory of World War II did have a little contribution to cigarettes.

So whether it is the personal corps or the mercenary corps, Mao Jue can supply two boxes of cigarettes a week. It has to be said that with this thing as a psychotropic agent, the desertion rate of the mercenary corps is even lower than that of the personal corps. Some even run away and can't stand the addiction to cigarettes and run back to the head. Wen Meng was angry and laughed, and asked him to squat on his horse stance with a cigarette in his mouth for three days.
