Chapter 226 Welcome the Lord Home
In the six months since George was in St. Petersburg, the relationship between Catherine and Concubine Min has grown by leaps and bounds.
This summer, Concubine Min went to Vladivostok to escape the summer heat. Ekaterina casually said that the Yuriev Palace needed some maids, and Concubine Min turned around and sent 100 Korean maids.
Conscience of heaven and earth, Ekaterina originally wanted to refuse.
But there were too many bachelors in Vladivostok. Looking at the young guardsmen and the pleading eyes of the futuan officers, Ekaterina had no choice but to compromise and keep all these Korean maids.
Although people can stay, rules must be established.
Ekaterina allowed the young men of the Guards and the Fu Tuan officers to pursue these Korean girls.
However, coercion and threats are absolutely not allowed.
Ye Luoxin beat her chest so loudly that she almost swore in the name of God that if anyone dared to violate this ban, Ye Luoxin would take the initiative to send him there without Yekaterina having to say anything. Mining.
In a place like Goryeo, everyone knows the relationship between the maid and the master and cannot go into details.
George is a little kid, his hair has not yet grown, and he has not yet learned how to behave, so these maids are all from good families with good fortune.
It goes without saying that those who are qualified to be sent by Concubine Min to serve Super Duke Yurievsky need to be carefully selected. It is not enough to have a good character and a good personality. They must also have beautiful features and prominent eyes. That concave ass needs to be fertile.
So during this period of time, Fu Tuan took the initiative to go to Guangmingding to pay respects to Princess Yurievskaya.
Ekaterina is a good person to the end, and holds banquets at Guangmingding every now and then to entertain officers of the Fu Tuan. Even Milyugin and Yekaterina sent four maids there to take care of Milyugin's daily life. .
How can Milyutin, who is several dozen years older than the dignified Governor of Amur, do it with only an old housekeeper and two old male servants around him.
Not to mention anything else, if someone goes to visit Milyugin and sees that he is so shabby, it will not only be Milyugin who is lost.
George didn’t know how lively Guangmingding was now. Danila managed Jeju Island well and the immigration camp was in good order. Danila led the immigrants waiting to go to Vladivostok and drove around the immigration camp in one breath. With more than 3,000 acres of land released, Jeju will be self-sufficient by almost next year.
Jeju grows high-yielding crops such as potatoes and corn. In order to raise livestock, Jeju has planted more than 100 acres of pasture. It has raised more than 1,000 sheep and more than 150 cattle.
“The sheepherders and cattle raisers are all Koreans hired from Korea, and the farmers are also Koreans. There are now more than 1,500 permanent residents on the island, all of whom are our people.”
Daniela is very happy, this is his dream life.
In St. Petersburg, Daniela's dream was just to have enough food and clothing, and she didn't dare to expect too much.
Since following George, the lives of Daniela and the other veterans have undergone earth-shaking changes.
In the past, no one was willing to do Danila's business, let alone marrying a wife or looking for someone to have fun with.
Now that Daniela has a wife and a family, if Daniela has another child, then even if George asks Daniela to die, Daniela will not hesitate.
Because Daniela knew that even if he died, George would take good care of his wife and children.
After your death, I will take care of your wife by myself, so don’t worry about it.
Looking at this sentence in the 21st century, it is mostly a joke.
In an era when human life is at stake, with these words, countless people are willing to die generously.
"Let Ye Luoxin send some people over later. Safety must be taken into consideration."
What George is worried about is not only the navies of various countries, but also the harassment of pirates.
These days, even civilian ports have to have garrisons, and many ocean-going businessmen also work part-time as pirates. George's "Dolgorukov" even has artillery.
George was referring to the Goryeo soldiers trained by Ye Luoxin.
Since Concubine Min and Gaozong are so caring, they must pay attention to their safety work.
Now the Goryeo Palace is guarded by soldiers trained by Ye Luoxin. Although there are not many people, there are only two companies, but they are equipped with heavy machine guns, and their firepower is second to none in this era.
George remembered that he asked Ye Luoxin to train 1,000 people.
Therefore, Ye Luoxin must still have Koreans undergoing training.
"Our more than 600 people are either Cossacks or Korean soldiers. If something happens, we will be a complete infantry battalion."
More than 600 people plus family members, a total of 1,500 people.
It seems acceptable.
The immigration camps are also well organized. The immigrants here are all Qing people waiting for naturalization. They need to understand the situation in Vladivostok in advance, adapt to the life in Vladivostok, and receive some language training.
You are not required to be proficient in Russian, but you must at least be able to understand the Russian language, and you cannot be scolded without knowing it.
The new immigrants will only stay in Jeju for two months, and then they will be sent to Vladivostok in batches.
Most Qing people can only learn some simple conversations.
There are also some language geniuses who stand out in just two months. They will be focused on training, and in addition to Russian, they will also need to learn other languages.
The future population of Vladivostok is destined to be very complex, and the demand for translators will be very large.
New immigrants are placed in different camps depending on their arrival time.
The Qing people who had just arrived at the camp generally had poor nutritional status and hygienic habits, and it took a long time to adapt before they could become familiar with the habits of Vladivostok.
Not to mention anything else, many people are forced to work every day just because of open defecation.
Jeju Port is still under construction and labor is needed everywhere.
Moving bricks on a construction site is no joke in Jeju. It is a real job. Those who defecate in the open must accept 24-hour voluntary labor.
You have to do 24-hour work for defecation and defecation anywhere. More serious behaviors, such as fighting, gambling, etc., have more severe punishments.
Anyone who is more serious will be sent away directly.
No one knows where it was sent.
After arriving in Jeju, these Qing people were theoretically Russians and were not subject to the laws of the Qing Empire.
George did not stay in Jeju for too long. After the "Dolgorukov" and another immigration ship were filled with new immigrants, they continued northward.
The closer he got to Vladivostok, the more excited George became, feeling as if a wanderer who had been away from home for many years was about to return home.
After Milyutin took office, the greatest contribution he made to Vladivostok was to transfer the management of the Vladivostok Fort from the Siberian Fleet to the Amur Military District.
After Korv went to Central Asia and took office, the commander of the Siberian Fleet was Alexeyev Yevgeny Ivanovich, who was born in 1843.
This Alexeev is the future governor of Siberia who was mistaken for the illegitimate son of the Czar.
Alexei, the real illegitimate son of the Tsar, was in charge of naval affairs as marshal of the navy in St. Petersburg.
Alexeyev was very sensible and did not compete with George for the jurisdiction of the Vladivostok Fort.
After Alexeyev took office, he strengthened the management of the Siberian Fleet, adopted a tough policy towards Japan, and forced Japan to renew the lease of the winter port of Nagasaki. He stayed in Nagasaki for a long time and rarely returned to Vladivostok.
Since Alexeev is so sensible, it is not difficult for Mikhail to give him a lot of gifts during the holidays. He also gave Alexeev a Vladivostok car. Alexeyev wrote a special letter to Mikhail to thank him for the car produced by the factory.
Although George hurried slowly along the way, he still lost some time. When the "Dolgorukov" arrived in Vladivostok, it was already snowing in Vladivostok.
Vladivostok is covered in snow. After several years of construction, the ground near the pier is paved with stones. Street lights are installed every fifty meters on the roadside. These street lights are all oil lamps and need to be lit in the evening. , workers took ladders to light the oil lamps one after another.
Although it is a little troublesome, as long as there is enough lamp oil, the street lamp will not go out.
This is always less troublesome than replacing the street lights with AC instead of DC.
Oil was discovered near Yuriev last year. This time the Vladivostok Machinery Factory did not bother the Ural Machinery Factory and directly produced a set of oil extraction equipment, refinery and asphalt processing using the drawings provided by Kanunnikov The factory has also begun construction and will be put into production within two years.
Russia’s petroleum processing technology is still very strong. The first petroleum distillation plant was built on the Apsheron Peninsula in Baku in 1834; the first asphalt processing plant was built in 1838, and Baku discovered the The first gushers, Kanunnikov and his students, are evaluating the reserves of the Yuriev field.
Siberia is already rich in oil and gas resources. The natural gas used in Vladivostok is also produced by itself. In the past two years, the steel produced by the Vladivostok Steel Plant has been used to produce pipelines in addition to rails.
The railway between Khabarovsk and Yuriev was successfully completed in September this year. The construction team returned to Khabarovsk, and the surveyors continued westward, targeting Irkutsk on the shores of Lake Baiga.
Not only is the terrain complex in this section, the construction is more difficult and the distance is longer. For the construction team in Vladivostok, the challenge has just begun.
Next spring, the Trans-Siberian Railway will be constructed from Khabarovsk and Chelyabinsk at the same time, and the Amur Governorate is responsible for the section from Khabarovsk to Irkutsk.
The straight-line distance from Khabarovsk to Irkutsk is only 2,200 kilometers. The total length of the railway is about 2,600 kilometers. The estimated construction period is 8 years.
Ideally, the Trans-Siberian Railway would be opened to traffic in 1895, a full 10 years earlier than in another time and space.
When the "Dolgorukov" sailed into the port of Vladivostok, the Vladivostok Fort fired a salute to welcome Lord Amur home.
When George walked down the gangway, Mikhail and Milyutin were already waiting on the dock.
"Your Excellency, Commander, welcome back to the Amur Military District."
"Your Excellency, Governor, welcome to the Amur Military District."
The way George greeted Miliugin made Mikhail laugh.
George's RV is the latest model produced by the Vladivostok Automobile Factory. This car can only be used in the Amur Governorate, and you have to change cars when you go to St. Petersburg.
Because the shock absorption device of this vehicle uses the artillery tube retreat technology.
