Chapter 91 The Town Opposite the Yinglong River
When Lin Mu was checking the properties of the dock, Lu Hao, the territory's expert chief shipbuilder, arrived late due to reports from his subordinates.
Lu Hao, courtesy name Wei Zhi, is a descendant of Lu Ban.
"My lord, why do you have time to come here today! You really make our place flourish! Come, lord, come, come, come, come to our lounge, let's chat! I hope your lord doesn't mind. The dock environment is poor!" Lu Hao held Lin Mu's hand politely and enthusiastically, wanting to greet him well.
This lord is not often in the territory. Before and after the banquet, he had a long exchange with his lord. Lin Mu actually knew many boat-building skills. He was a fellow-traveler, and at the same time he admired this lord very much.
Lu Hao may have been in a built environment near the coast and lake like a shipyard for many years, exposed to the sun, rain, wind and rain... He has dark skin, a tall body, thick arms, and has used shipwright's tools for many years. He was as strong and developed as a horned dragon through exercise, his veins were all visible, and his hands were very calloused and rough.
However, Lu Hao's eyes are bright, his steps are steady, his actions are nimble, and his skills are skillful. He gives people a very secure and steady feeling, which will invisibly affect the people next to him. He has a kind of leadership charm.
"Haha, no, no!" Lin Mu waved his hand, broke free, patted his shoulders and smiled: "Weizhi, thank you for the invitation, but for now I'm just passing by here to take a look. I'll come back later. I need to go to the other side of Yinglong River to handle some matters. This matter is urgent, so I will stay here for a short time. When I have time, I will have an in-depth talk with you. I will definitely bring good wine and food by then. ,Ha ha!!"
Lin Mu gets along very well with such a rough yet delicate man. He doesn't need to be polite, just treat him sincerely!
"Oh, across the Yinglong River, didn't the Lord tell us not to go there casually?" Lu Hao asked doubtfully. In order to prevent the village on the other side of the river from being occupied by bandits, he asked the people to pay attention to the movements on the other side and not to go there easily. At the same time, soldiers were arranged to defend the opposite side, but it was no longer needed now. Lin Mu was going to conquer it.
"It's okay. I have a way to conquer them. We will be a family by then." Lin Mu said confidently.
"Haha, that's good. Those people on the opposite side should be mountain tribesmen. They sometimes patrol on horseback, but they don't have boats, so they can only watch! As long as our people here pay attention, everything will be fine. Now, my lord, you can lift the alarm Hidden danger, then everything will be fine!" Lu Hao said happily, indeed, the opposite side was like a thorn in the fishermen's hearts, always on guard against them.
As for how Lin Mu could conquer them, Lu Hao didn't ask Lin Mu how to deal with the copycats on the opposite side, but he just believed that Lin Mu could do it, and he had a full sense of trust! Moreover, Lu Hao had no resentment towards ethnic minorities like the Shan people and was also an enlightened person.
The people in the mountain village opposite are indeed Shan tribesmen, one of the ethnic minorities in China.
However, because of Yinglong, the villagers in this village regard it as their belief and totem. Lin Mu can conquer it as long as he brings the Yinglong token, which shows that Yinglong has a high status in their hearts.
Afterwards, Lin Mu and Lu Hao chatted for a while, then said goodbye and boarded a high-end transport ship to the other side.
Fishermen in the territory usually work from the center of the river to their own side of the river. There is no cross-river center. This creates a completely different scene. One side is busy and the other side is deserted.
However, Lin Mu told the people that they could go to the other side of the river to work and there was no need to be wary of the mountain tribesmen.
The fishermen trusted the lord Lin Mu very much and began to slowly drive their boats out of the previous territory. The Yinglong River is so big and rich in fishery products. With so many more river areas, maybe today's harvest will be more and richer. God bless the lord and his health!
When Lin Mu discovered that there were four large mountain strongholds in his territory, he began to arrange some smart soldiers and sent people to investigate here. They also initially knew the location and some basic information of the mountain strongholds:
The name of the town opposite is [Longma Town].
[Longma Town], the residents there are all Shan people, there are no Han people, the specific number of residents is unknown, that is because the spies failed to penetrate into its territory, and the soldiers they trained to patrol turned out to be on horseback, fast, and patrolled a wide range , it is difficult for all spies to find out what is going on in their town.
Horseback riding is very rare in southern Yangzhou. Moreover, even the patrolling soldiers rode horses, so would horses be produced in its territory? Lin Mu had doubts when he knew this information before.
Fortunately at that time, the towns opposite could not or did not have the conditions to manufacture boats and were separated by the spacious Yinglong River. It was a natural hazard! Therefore, its threat level is not as high as that of Qinglong Village, so we ignore it for the time being.
Later, after visiting Yinglong, Lin Mu felt even more relieved when he learned that this township was one of Yinglong's layouts and could be easily conquered and surrendered without troops.
…
The speed of high-level transport ships is relatively fast. Under normal conditions, the speed is 80 kilometers per hour, and the maximum carrying capacity is 100,000 units of cargo. The speed of junior transport ships is 20, and the carrying capacity is 10,000 units. Intermediate transport ships, The speed is 50 and the carrying capacity is 50,000 units.
If you want to transport people, a high-level transport ship can carry about 200 people, an intermediate transport ship can carry about 100 people, and a junior transport ship can carry about 30 people.
Two boatmen were driving the high-end transport boat. The speed was relatively slow, but it was equivalent to the width of the Yinglong River and could be reached in a cup of tea.
"My Lord, the people on the other side should be ethnic minorities. They have little communication with us Han people. Will they have prejudice against us Han people? At that time, my Lord needs to stand behind the three of us!" Liu Feng said to Lin Mu with concern, and Wang Sheng and He Yuan nodded.
Since Liu Feng surrendered, Lin Mu has also talked to him. Although it was not a close talk, he also asked about his situation and expressed his appreciation and foresight for their abandonment of darkness and joining the light.
In fact, many soldiers who surrendered in Qinglong Village have families and concerns, and Liu Feng, Wang Sheng, and He Yuan are no exception. However, according to Lin Mu's experience, Xu Zhao was not aware of the fall of Qinglong Village, nor did he know that the soldiers in Qinglong Village had surrendered to Lin Mu, and would not take action against their families for the time being. Xu Zhao would not easily hurt civilians, which would harm his interests.
Moreover, Lin Mu also promised the surrendered soldiers that after the passage to the outside world is opened, he will secretly take their families to the paradise of Zhenlong Territory as soon as possible to ensure their reunion and let them have no worries.
To a certain extent, for Lin Mu, this is another opportunity to increase the population of the territory.
One soldier represents a family. On average, there are parents above, wife and children below, and 140,000 soldiers, that is, 560,000 families, and some families may even have more people, with families. At that time, let Chang Yin arrange some civil servants who are good at appeasing and surrendering to accompany them. Moreover, the entire family and even some villagers are abducted. At that time, the population of the territory can increase dramatically again.
Moreover, the people abducted from outside will have more comprehensive abilities and richer occupations, unlike the refugee camps and refugee camps, which are randomly refreshed.
Lin Mu is very much looking forward to the results of this plan to accept relatives!
