With a harsh whistle, two whaling ships, one in front and one behind, sailed into the calm bay, and then anchored about hundreds of meters off the shore. △↗,.

After a while, many sailors in thick leather jackets appeared on the deck of the ship. Under the order of the officer, they rushed to put several small boats on the sea. Then seven or eight people climbed down the rope ladder, stood steadily in the shaking small boat cabin, and picked up the bags of cargo unloaded from the large ship.

There are many types of goods, but they are generally daily necessities, such as rye, potatoes, salt, salted fish, jerky, dried vegetables, etc. There is even a little tobacco in the last pack, sugar and spirits, and there is no doubt that these three luxury goods will cause a huge fight among the "reformed prisoners" on the island.

After the cargo on a small boat was filled, the sailors, under the command of a leader, rowed their oars and sailed to the shore. At this time, there were many "reform prisoners" wearing shabby military coats (old cotton coats eliminated by the army on the east coast after changing clothes). These people seemed to be blown by the cold wind. At this time, they were waiting and stomping their feet hard to warm up the supply transport ships that were once a few months long. This was definitely the things that poor people on the shore most hoped to see.

Of course, it is not too accurate to say that they are "poor people". After all, they are all people who have committed countless sins! They are pitiful, are the ordinary people of the Ming Dynasty who died under their butcher's knife pitiful? Yes, yes, these people are the Qing army surrendered soldiers captured by the East Coast people in previous battles of the Qing army surrendered soldiers. More than 95% were the Green Camp Han Army, and there were a very small number of Manchus and Mongols. During the Qing Dynasty's journey south, these people participated in many battles, so naturally they were in the local area.

The emperor did a lot of evil. After being captured by the army on the east coast, some of the "famous" officers were drawn out and killed, and the remaining people were dispersed and mixed up. In this way, the Shaanxi-Gansu soldiers, Henan soldiers, Zhili soldiers, Jiangbei soldiers, and Shanxi soldiers (most of the Qing Jiangnan Green Camp consisted of these people) were mixed. The soldiers in the camp did not recognize the generals, and the generals did not know the soldiers. Even the language was a little different, which was really chaotic, but this also greatly reduced the possibility of their riots.

Especially after they were exiled to some bitter and cold places, they almost completely rely on the supply of daily necessities from outside. They even bowed to the people on the east coast. However, even so, the Heishui area still did not trust these people very much. Not to mention only one-third of them had weapons, even when the supply ship approached the port, they anchored in the nearshore. Then they used small boats to transport supplies back and forth to prevent them from being accidentally held hostage by these labor prisoners.

Of course, they may be a little too careful, because there is also a small seafood processing factory near the labor camp on the shore. This factory has about dozens of workers. In addition to processing cod, crab, squid, flounder and other common seafood nearby, they also process whales, seals, sea dogs and other sea beasts. In addition, they can also process these sea beast skins, and the ground is fully functional. The factory has been established for almost half a year. So far, it has processed two whales, hundreds of sea beasts, and hundreds of tons of seafood (basically caught in nearby waters), and its contribution is quite large.

This time, two whaling ships came here. In addition to sending a batch of supplies, they also had to hurry up and go around the nearby waters to see if they could catch one or two whales. However, considering that the bad weather will come in October, they will be stranded on the sea for at most for more than 20 days before returning. Otherwise, no one on the Bering Sea could guarantee that they would not be taken away by the Dragon Prince.

This is Avachen Bay. The city of Petropavlovsk in the later Kamchatka Peninsula is located nearby. It is surrounded by a circle of volcanoes, with only a small area of ​​flat land along the coast. And because of this, this place has become a relatively warm place on the bitter and cold land of the Kamchatka Peninsula (the average temperature in winter is even higher than that in most parts of Liaoning). The port here is also an excellent unfreezing port (because there is a warm current passing nearby, but there are still small flowing ice in the harbor in the harbor in the middle of winter, so you need to be careful when sailing). There are abundant fishery resources and forests on the mountains. For the exile land (generally the conditions are very harsh), it is already a good place.

The reason why Shao Dashang of Yantai was interested in this place and designated it as one of the four major exile places of the Qing army surrendered troops was undoubtedly the most important factors. The Heixiazi Port with a warm climate (named because of the large number of local bears) can grow oats, rye, potatoes and soybeans in the short-term, and the nearby fishery resources are extremely rich. There are also many deep mountains and old forests. Although it is a bit difficult to feed a group (about 2,000 people) (the grain output was generally very low in the first few years), if a batch of supplies is transported regularly, it is not impossible to survive.

What's more, in Shao Shude's plan, these places will have to support themselves in the future at least most of the expenses. For example, in Heixiazi Port, the Qing army surrendered here will go to the logging farms, seafood processing plants, and docks to work, and use labor to exchange for the food and clothing needed for their survival. The fishery resources outside Heixiazi Port are still very rich, especially after the five steam whaling ships ordered by the Heiwater Development Team have been in place and whaling operations have been carried out one after another. In the future, the dozens of masters in the seafood processing factory will naturally be too busy to rely on the fish to be cut open, clean, pickled, air-dried, stored, transport, refining sea beast oil, tanning of leather, reuse of whales and internal organs, etc., which does not require a large amount of labor?

Not to mention that the construction of dock facilities is a bottomless pit that swallows up labor force. You know, the people of the East Coast have already regarded this place as a supply for the fishing fleet and processing bases, so they naturally need high-standard docks. The early construction must be extremely tiring, and there will inevitably be a large number of builders who have reduced their staff. This can only be achieved by these ready-made Qing army surrendered troops. Who made them stand in the wrong team and unfortunately be defeated and captured?

"It turned out to be Lord Luo, and he brought food to his men again? Oh, it's so hard." After seeing several East Coast sailors jumping onto the small wooden pier, a headman who seemed to be an officer immediately walked over quickly and said with a flattering look on his face.

The sailor called "Master Luo" just nodded when he heard this, and then looked around at the entire camp. The camp is now built with rough appearance, with wooden houses everywhere, and they even set up a livestock barn, which locked up a dozen sheep from some unknown places. Maybe they were sent by them before and couldn't bear to eat and raise them?

Next to the livestock is a watchtower. A large flag is hung on the top of the tower, with nine big words "First Regiment of the Production and Construction Corps" written on it. Behind is a firewood farm. There is a faintly someone cutting grass and chopping firewood. This is to prepare for winter.

"It's also very pitiful. Life is really not easy." The sailor looked at the men in front of him whose faces were blown by the sea breeze, sighed and said, "I have brought you a lot of food, including wine, cigarettes, and eight big fat pigs. You can raise them well, and come to eat during the Chinese New Year. Do it well, don't cheat and slim. I heard from Heishui Liang tell Lord Jianliang that Deputy Commander Wei suggested killing you all, but Shuai Dashang was kind and thought killing prisoners would hurt the heavens, so he sent you and others to various places. Well, here is bitter and cold, do you have any resentment?"

"I dare not, I dare not!" As soon as the sailor finished speaking, the former Qing army generals knelt all over the ground and said tremblingly.

"It's good. Let's get up. Now in the new society, we're not going to kneel down, we're all getting up." The sailor raised his hands and said, "It's still one month before the winter is over. You can hurry up and work. Wood, dried fish, oil (refined seal oil, used as machine lubricant, and in the Blackwater area, it's a strategic material) to prepare more, and it's about to be beaten again!"

The few people were a little embarrassed when they heard the sailors say this. Everyone knows the meaning of "big fight" and fight with the Qing Dynasty! Didn't they just be captured during the "big fight" of the Yangtze River Battle? Then again, they are in such a disconnected place and are really curious about what happened outside the world, but due to their identity, they can't ask more about this matter. They are really helpless.

The sailors seemed to know their thoughts well. After snorting coldly, they said, "It's okay to tell you this. Wu Sangui and Li Guohan have led the main force into Sichuan. Zhang Xianzhong of Xiying lost a lot. He is currently retreating to Dongchuan to contain the dead and scattered, restored his strength, and promoted it again. The battle between Shun Army in Hubei was also quite unhappy, and many famous cities were lost. Many newly recruited camps also surrendered to the Qing army. It is very difficult now, and can only be backed by the river (convenient transportation). With the strong city, he used cannons to fight with the Qing army and struggled hard. Well, in addition, Xiying and Shun Ying have been very close in the past year, as if

There is a situation of convergence, but Zhang Xianzhong is not dead, so this matter is difficult! In short, Dashang Shao felt that he had to find a way to mobilize the Tartars court and let them bleed, so that they could not attack Xiying and Shunying with all their strength. Therefore, you should step up your efforts and prepare more materials. If you do well, you will be divided into land next year. If you score the top 100, you will also be divided into women. Although you are a Korean lady, it is not bad. Of course, if anyone likes the official wives and ladies in the women's team, as long as they are ranked in the top 100, they can also make a move and exchange them for points. In short, they will not treat you badly!"
