Daming pirates
Chapter 97: The Price
This time he sent many captives, slaves and a small number of immigrants. These people need to be resettled separately. In addition to the original village of Zhou Feng, some temporary residences must be built here for these people to live.
.
When these people get here, Yu Xiaotian is not worried that they will run away, because so far, most of the island of Taiwan is still a barren land. It is full of indigenous people and cannibals. The island is full of snakes and insects, and the water is full of water.
It is so dense that if an average person dives in, the chance of successfully surviving here is basically zero. There must be enough people to form a team to survive here.
So he is not very worried that these people will run away. He is mainly worried that the weather here is humid and hot, and there are many mosquitoes. A little carelessness may lead to an epidemic. The rest is easy to say. Once a large-scale malaria breaks out, it is what we call this era.
Miasma will have a great impact on his future plans.
He had already begun to prepare in advance for this, sending people to the land to seek prescriptions for preventing and treating malaria, and looking for famous doctors who could treat malaria.
Originally, if there was a cinchona tree, malaria could be easily solved by extracting some quinine from it. However, at this time, the cinchona tree is probably still hidden somewhere in the Americas and has not been discovered! So the cinchona tree is
No need to think about it.
So he could only find a way to solve this problem in the interior of the Ming Dynasty. He had accidentally read a piece of news before, saying that in the 1970s, Chinese scientists actually discovered a species of Artemisia annua containing a substance from a native plant.
It is an ingredient that is effective in treating malaria, and later a drug called artemisinin was extracted from it, which also has a very good therapeutic effect on malaria.
He regretted that he had not read the relevant information carefully and figured out the rough purification method of this thing. Otherwise, he would be able to solve this problem now.
However, he still sent people to the land to search for this kind of Artemisia everywhere, because he probably remembered that there was a very similar grass among this kind of Artemisia, which was very similar to Artemisia, but it had no effect on treating malaria.
You must first distinguish the true from the false, otherwise preparing a large number of these things will be of no use, and will actually waste people's lives.
The reason why Taiwan Island was discovered very early, but has not received the attention of the mainland regime, and has not been controlled and developed by a large number of immigrants, is actually a very important reason. It is not that there are many indigenous people living here, but because of the climate and malaria here.
Due to this problem, early immigration activities were often hit by malaria epidemics, forcing immigrants to eventually give up their exploration here and flee back to the mainland.
Therefore, no matter who it is, before the problem of malaria is completely solved, a large number of immigrants will have to pay a heavy price. This price is also a problem that he is currently worried about, but must also face.
When Yu Xiaotian passed by Dahuang Island a few days ago, he felt a little sad because many of the people who followed him out of Xiaohuang Island had passed away. These days, he would think of it from time to time.
He has figured out these things in the past few days. Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters. As long as he wants to achieve a career in this era, he must endure things that ordinary people cannot bear and pay a considerable price.
This is also the tuition he must pay on the road to success. There has been a famous saying in China since ancient times: "One general will succeed and ten thousand bones will dry up!" The truth has already been clarified. No matter what anyone does, he must step on the road to success.
It takes countless dead bones to reach the pinnacle of success. What he wants to do now is almost the same. To develop Taiwan Island, someone is bound to make sacrifices. Otherwise, he might as well not do it.
As for how many lives he will have to sacrifice, he doesn't know now, and he can't predict it. But what is foreseeable is that if he wants to control the island of Taiwan and become a king who founded Taiwan and leave his name in history, the price he has to pay will definitely not be
Small.
Now he has just taken control of Jilong Bay. In just a few months, many people have died here. He first led people to kill Zhou Feng and many of his men, and then transported laborers here.
Build a fort.
During this period, pirates and natives attacked again, and more than a dozen people were killed. In addition, when the fort was being built, people had to be sent to cut wood and quarry, and several people died in accidents.
And these deaths are only part of it. In these days, the number of people who died from poisoning due to snake and insect bites alone has exceeded ten people. Overall, about ten people die here every month.
This number of dead people can be regarded as the result of careful precautions.
In the future, he will move more and more immigrants here. After there are more people, they will definitely expand to the surrounding areas. By then, the number of dead people will probably be even greater. If he is afraid of dead people, then it is better to take pictures now.
Go back to the mainland, take advantage of the money now, find a place to clear your identity, buy a large piece of land, and become a landlord.
So now his heart has become cold and hardened. No matter how much the price will be paid in the future, he will decide on the island of Taiwan. Unless he himself dies, there will be no more changes in this plan.
On the whole, Heitou is still very dedicated in his work here. It's just that this guy's level is limited, his work is a bit rough, and he doesn't think very carefully. Some things are not done very carefully, especially the layout of the people's residence on the shore is too loose and easy to
Someone took advantage of it, otherwise he wouldn't have been successfully attacked by a group of natives, killed several people and captured a woman.
After Yu Xiaotian read it, he put forward some of his suggestions and asked the black head to improve it. The various personnel currently transported here should be grouped together. On the one hand, it is easier to monitor, and on the other hand, it is also convenient to strengthen the guard to avoid further
Someone touched my lair.
Heitou scratched his head and agreed with a smile. He was a little embarrassed, and Yu Xiaotian didn't blame him too much. After all, this guy used to be a fisherman, and it only took less than two years for him to hang out with him.
After all, he has received too few things, and his organizational skills are lacking. He is allowed to take charge here because this guy is his most loyal confidant, not because he has the strongest ability.
In addition, Yu Xiaotian also deeply feels that there are still too few capable people under his command, and the available talents are really limited. Many times, he can only choose generals from among the lame, and rush the ducks to the top, so he put the black head here to preside over this.
side affairs.
But this time, he selected a subordinate named Sun Baoqiang (the supporting character began to appear!). This person used to be Wang Hong's subordinate. After being recruited by Yu Xiaotian, he appointed him as a captain. During this time, he contacted
After getting more and more frequent, Yu Xiaotian found that this person was good at controlling his subordinates. Compared with others, he was more thoughtful and rigorous in his work. He was willing to use his brain more and led his men on the ship quite well. During the previous drills,
His boats performed very well.
So Yu Xiaotian transferred him to be the captain of his ship Sea Wolf and became his personal follower. Over the past few months, he has been observing his performance.
Now he was sure that Sun Baoqiang was indeed outstanding, so after thinking about it, he decided to send Sun Bao to Jilongwan to temporarily serve as Black Head's deputy and use him to make up for Black Head's shortcomings.
If this guy can do better in the next step, Yu Xiaotian decides to entrust him with an important task.
Sun Baoqiang is not stupid. Although he was put here by Yu Xiaotian, he knows very well that this is not to put him down, but to put him here to test his ability. If he performs well enough, then in the future
His future will be bright, and he will soon step into the top management of the Sea Wolf Group. Therefore, he is very grateful to Xiaotian for arranging this matter for him. On the way here, he asked Yu Xiaotian many times for advice.
What should I do here in the future?
During this period of following Yu Xiaotian, Sun Baoqiang has discovered that Yu Xiaotian has put a lot of effort into the station staff, and many things are tilting in this direction. Although it is not as important as Funing on the surface, it is actually
For the Sea Wolf in the future, it will be the most important base for the Sea Wolf.
If he can do something beautiful here now, then for him, it will determine his position within the Sea Wolf in the future, so he came here this time, gearing up for a big fight.
However, Yu Xiaotian also warned him secretly. Although he came here, the person in charge here was still Hei Tou. He was doing the work of assisting Hei Tou, not replacing him. He was not allowed to have any conflicts with Hei Tou. If Hei Tou did something wrong,
, and if he refuses to listen to advice and insists on going his own way, then he can send someone back to Yu Xiaotian to tell him, and Yu Xiaotian will handle it himself.
After hearing this, Sun Baoqiang was convinced and firmly remembered Yu Xiaotian's instructions. Sun Baoqiang had already seen that what Yu Xiaotian disliked the most was internal fighting. He would never tolerate the fighting among his subordinates, and he would never tolerate it.
Yu Xiaotian attaches great importance to matters involving rank, and is most afraid of things committed by his subordinates.
Therefore, Sun Baoqiang promised Yu Xiaotian that he would never have any conflict with Heitou here, and would definitely assist Heitou well, do things well here, and share Yu Xiaotian's worries.
Yu Xiaotian felt relieved about this, and after arriving here, he told Heitou about Sun Baoqiang.
Heitou was a little worried because there was no suitable helper here. Hearing that Yu Xiaotian had brought Sun Baoqiang to be his deputy and share some affairs with him, he was immediately overjoyed and had no resistance at all. He pulled Sun Baoqiang to help him.
It was quite lively.
Seeing Hei Tou pulling Sun Baoqiang carelessly and talking and laughing, Yu Xiaotian felt relieved. With the two of them cooperating here, he felt more at ease about things in Jilong Bay.
, Heitou's bravery, coupled with Sun Baoqiang's attentiveness, if the two people cooperate well, they can learn from each other's strengths and things in Jilongwan will become smoother in the future.
So after he arranged for Sun Baoqiang, he began to discuss with Heitou what to do here in the past few days.
Although this place was attacked by a group of pirates a month ago, the number of pirates operating in the surrounding area is still relatively limited, and the group of pirates that attacked has basically been disabled by the black-headed leaders. There is no way to seek revenge from them.
What is necessary.
Moreover, the focus of their current activities here is not to plunder the sea east of Taiwan, so this matter is not within the scope of consideration.
In the end, Yu Xiaotian set his sights on the group of indigenous tribesmen who came here to kill people a few days ago, and decided to teach these indigenous tribes a lesson before he left this time.
