Daming One Piece

Chapter 227 Goalkeeper (Second Update)
Chapter 228

Guardian of the Southern Sky!

This is Shi Yiwen's positioning for Beigang, at least for now.

After Fang Kongzhao left, Shi Yiwen stood in front of the map again, his eyes fixed on the map, it was a map of the South China Sea.

Staring at the South China Sea on the map, he frowned from time to time.

"Hoi An, Ha Tien, Hekou, Nan Tian Men plus a Subic Bay... There are still too few strongholds, and we should further speed up the construction of commercial stations!"

It is said to be a commercial station, but it is actually a leased place, a stronghold. In the expansion of Southeast Asia, Shi Yiwen fully drew on the "advanced experience" of European countries, gave full play to the geographical advantages, and took advantage of the current special situation in Southeast Asia. Wherever he went, It can be said that everything is beneficial. After all, in the eyes of many people, the Ming people... will always leave, and the Ming people have no ambitions for the territory.

No ambitions, at least in Yongle, Daming did not have ambitions for Southeast Asia, then Daming's own space hasn't been filled yet?How can it be possible to have any ambitions for Southeast Asia, where typhoons are constant, miasma is dense, and snakes and crocodiles are rampant.

But it's different now.

Tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of people in northern China have already reached the point of desperation under the influence of the drought of the Little Ice Age. If they are not given a place to live in peace, they will not only starve to death, but also become rogues and bandits. To change the dynasty.

So, this time, Shi Yiwen not only wants to occupy that piece of land, but also wants to turn the entire South China Sea Islands into a part of China. Chinese immigrants overcame all obstacles, opened up wasteland and farmed land!

"The key is to have immigrants."

While Shi Yiwen was talking to himself, there were footsteps behind him.

"Are you worried about the South China Sea?"

It was none other than Yan Ruyu who walked into the room. The two of them had just got married three months ago.

"It's inevitable that you will always think about it."

Seeing Yan Ruyu who was already pregnant, Shi Yiwen smiled.

"Now I work harder on my side, and the children will always be able to save some snacks in the future."

It has been more than three years since he came to this time and space, what worries him the most?I'm afraid it's the problem of future generations. Will the inexplicable time travel affect fertility?However, after Li Wanqing gave birth to his daughter, he was relieved that everything was normal.Of course, Li Wanqing was just a concubine, after all, he and Yan Ruyu had a marriage contract.

Now that Yan Ruyu is pregnant, Shi Yiwen will inevitably have some expectations in his heart, looking forward to someone who can inherit his career.

"That's true. I read from the newspaper that more than 10 immigrants arrived at Nantianmen last month, and the population of Beigang is more than [-]. In the future, tens of thousands of people will emigrate to the South China Sea every month. , the Han people in the South China Sea must be extremely prosperous, so what else is there to worry about?"

In fact, the efficiency of transporting immigrants from the South China Sea is so high that it far exceeds the speed of normal immigration. Every time an immigrant is transported to Beigang, he can receive 5-8 taels of silver from the Immigration Department, and 8-10 taels of silver in Hoi An, Hekou, and Ha Tien. Two, you can get 10-15 taels at Nantianmen.

The money was all paid by the Xuanweisi Yamen, and it was all in cash.For Daming Maritime Merchants, transporting people to Beigang and South China Sea is even more profitable than doing business and trading. At present, there are at least hundreds of ships engaged in immigration transport business on various routes.

This also directly led to a sharp increase in the speed of immigration. Of course, this is definitely good news for Beigang. No matter in any era, population is the fundamental driving force for development. This is especially true in the South China Sea. In order to make the local area an inseparable part of China.

Shi Yiwen nodded and said.

"That's the reason, but you still have to consider other issues, such as the local natives, natives. Of course, these people are not a problem at all."

At this time, the South China Sea is not so much owned as it is unowned. As long as Shi Yiwen is willing, he can annex all the land-states in the South China Sea Islands at any time, and then enrich the immigration. Of course, in order to alleviate the resistance of the locals, he will use some means.

"Since this is the case, then there is nothing to worry about. As long as people come to the South China Sea, the South China Sea will definitely be no different from Beigang and the prefectures and counties in the mainland after a long time. gone."

When mentioning Beigang, Yan Ruyu's face was filled with a smile. She witnessed the changes of Beigang. From a "pirate den" with only more than 10 people to the present, it has a population of more than [-] in just three years. And there are hundreds of thousands of people pouring in every day, even in a big city like Fujian with a population of several [-], it is very rare.

And all of this benefited from the man in front of her, and benefited from her man.

"Yeah, that's why I'm worried, what if no one comes one day?"

Seeing Yan Ruyu's beautiful and delicate face, Shi Yiwen said with a long sigh.

"What really worries me is not what's going on in the South China Sea. Whether it's the lands in the South China Sea or the red-haired people in Europa, they're not worth mentioning. Even right now, there won't be any waves there."

Staring at the north of the map, Shi Yiwen said.

"What really worries me is the court!"

"Court?"

Yan Ruyu said in surprise.

"Is there any change in the court?"

"not yet."

Shaking his head, Shi Yiwen said.

"But I have to think about this issue. After all, what is the most needed thing in the South China Sea? It is people! The South China Sea has a vast land. In Java alone, there are hundreds of millions of acres of good land available for planting, and there are only 200 million acres of land in the area. The natives on the left and right can be said to be sparsely populated..."

The Java of this year is not the big island inhabited by hundreds of millions of people in later generations, and the sparse population there now makes Shi Yiwen wonder if it is the Java he knows.However, this also provided convenience for immigrants from the Ming Dynasty. Over a period of ten or twenty years, the continuous influx of immigrants into Java could quickly replace the local aborigines and become the mainstream population of Java. Population is the basis for effective occupation!
"As long as there are people, no matter how it develops in the future, the South China Sea will be dominated by China. In 100, 200, and 300 years, the South China Sea will be no different from China, just like Yunnan now, but..."

Staring at the capital city on the map, Shi Yiwen said.

"What I'm most worried about right now is... What if, what if, someone stops all of this?"

"Stop? Stop what? Are you worried that someone won't let us bring people over?"

Yan Ruyu said in surprise.

"How is this possible? Are they just watching the refugees starve to death?"
