Honglou, I became Jia Lian?Fortunately, there is a system!

Chapter 266 Set off for Batavia!

Xie Yun got the military task of attacking and conquering Fusang, so he was naturally very excited.

He has led soldiers for half his life, Xie Yun is naturally more willing to fight than sitting in the Luzon Governor's Mansion and managing the complicated affairs of the family territory.

After Xie Yun took the order and left, relevant news quickly spread among the upper class in Luzon, and the remaining 11 founding nobles who each occupied a large area of ​​land in Luzon also heard the news.

Although at first most of the most powerful troops of each of their families were drawn into the Nanyang Fleet, but later as all the families got rich rewards, and the newly acquired large territories were in urgent need of manpower.

Then began a long period of massive foreign recruitment, and in the subsequent battles, wounded soldiers and veterans who quit the battle sequence due to various reasons such as injuries became the backbone and instructors of the newcomers.

In addition, the nobles won such a fief that can be passed on forever, so naturally they are not stingy with various rewards.

The difficulty of recruiting qualified soldiers was not as great as imagined, and most of the generals chose to recruit some local vassals as soldiers.

Or simply captured a large number of war slaves as a supplement to combat power when clearing out the undisciplined native tribes in their respective territories.

And their people have also gained experience in the process of successively clearing and suppressing the resistance forces in their respective territories, at least they are no longer recruits.

They are all people who have seen blood. In terms of combat ability, at least jungle warfare and mountain warfare are not bad.

Of course, a few army diamonds mixed with vassals cannot be relied on as the backbone, but it is not a big problem to follow behind and wave the flag to fight the wind.

As for the hard bones, of course Xie Yun himself and the few well-established general families in the Zhen Guo Gong Mansion and the Li Guo Gong Mansion will come to chew.

Also, it is impossible for the Nanyang Fleet to just leave everything to Xie Yun and the others. At least the transportation of troops and sea fire support must be provided.

However, most of the troops of the Nanyang Fleet are in Tianzhu, and it is unlikely that they will be able to come out in a short time, otherwise Jia Lian would not entrust them with the task of fighting Fusang.

In the final analysis, in fact, Daqing's implementation of the strategy of opening up the sea is still not in place.

Although in the past three years, the lower level has the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce, the upper level has the founding nobles headed by Jia Lian and a large number of members of the royal family.

But because Emperor Baode has not expressed his attitude of strong support at least on the surface, this makes many people very scruples in secret.

But on the other hand, Emperor Baode never publicly expressed his opposition to the strategy of opening the sea. In Jia Lian's view, this was enough.

Since he wanted to go out and stand on his own, he naturally couldn't expect Emperor Baode to take the initiative to help him.

A rough calculation shows that over the past three years, more than 200 million people in Daqing have migrated overseas, which is definitely not a small number.

Naturally, most of these people came from famines where they could not survive. By the way, there are still many so-called famines in Daqing at this time, which are man-made.

Of course, Jia Lian can guarantee that these so-called "man-made disasters" are absolutely not at his own will.

The most he did was to order people from the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce to take the opportunity to drain the population out to sea with the cooperation of others after a famine occurred in some areas.

Although the disaster relief was incidental, no one can deny that the Donghai Chamber of Commerce did do the disaster relief, and countless people survived because of it.

Although most of the victims were taken to overseas places in the end, in terms of the results, more than [-]% of the Daqing immigrants in Luzon, Batavia, or even Jiazhou think that their current life is better than that of others. Much better at home.

Correspondingly, the rulers of the various fiefdoms also understand that the Chinese immigrants from Daqing are the foundation of their rule, so they naturally know how to treat the immigrants.

Even if there was something they didn't understand, Jia Lian's people would watch over it, and at critical moments, they would naturally understand.

……

The preparatory work before the attack on Fusang, those extremely complicated scheduling affairs were naturally handed over to Xie Yun, Liu Changgong and the heads of the various families.

With Jia Lian's few instructions and one idea, the people below will have to run and break their legs, and there is no complaint at all.

After all, just by conquering Luzon, these nobles and several maritime merchants headed by the Zheng family have already received extremely rich rewards.

What's more, after the Battle of Batavia, the fertile and huge land on Java Island was also divided into 12 pieces of land that add up to a quarter of the entire Java Island and gave to the founding family.

The Jia family also only occupied the city of Batavia and the surrounding area for a hundred miles, and the rest of the land was divided into large and small fiefs of nearly 20 yuan. The Zheng family, Cao family, and other maritime merchant families who actively followed up got three .

The rest was given to the clan princes to accumulate wealth and train soldiers. After all, in the plan of the Supreme Emperor and Jia Lian, most of them would go to two Americas in the future!
If there is no such early accumulation, if you go to the Americas and even defeat the natives who are still drinking blood and using rough iron and bronze as weapons, it will be ridiculous.

What's more, if they are not allowed to see some sweetness, these people may not really be willing to go overseas.

Wouldn't it be nice to stay at home and try my best to win that supreme position?
Or if you admit it completely, wouldn't you be able to live an extremely comfortable life as a free and unfettered prince?

Why make yourself uncomfortable and go overseas to compete with savages?

Fortunately, Daqing was founded more than a hundred years ago. Although peace has passed, most of the bravery in the blood of the royal children has been completely discarded.

There are not many people who are really willing to be a waste prince like Zhu Luo who was raised in captivity in the previous Ming Dynasty.

Even if they have this heart, there are only a few people who dare to truly express it.

There are still more than a dozen fiefs left in Java Island, but four generations of emperors have been passed down since the founding of Daqing, and now there are more than half a hundred princes of the clan alone, which is of course not enough.

Whoever gave these fiefdoms would offend others, and of course Jia Lian would not do that.

How to distribute it is naturally left to the Emperor Baode to decide.

The lords from the royal family selected by the last two emperors for Java Island are still considered qualified.

In the past few years, they have worked together tacitly to govern the indigenous vassals above the territory, and they used nothing more than to pull one faction and fight the other.

In short, the people in the fiefdoms of Java Island, whether they are immigrants or vassals, have roughly recognized the rule of their respective lords.

For the attack on Fusang this time, Jia Lian naturally asked Xie Yun to send someone to invite these clan princes, as for whether they would like to come?How many soldiers and horses can they send if they come?
This is their own business, anyway, Jia Lian has already given the opportunity, if they can't catch it, they can only blame their lack of determination.

……

After the hands-off shopkeeper Jia Lian gave general instructions on the strategy of Fusang, he took his wife, children and younger sisters, under the protection of heavy guards, and started a journey to appreciate the scenery of Manila City.

The bustling city of Manila has gathered a large number of businessmen from all over the world, and there are a variety of strange commodities.

Countless merchants from foreign countries made a living here, and many even made a lot of wealth that they could only dream of in the past.

Naturally, it also made the city of Manila unprecedentedly prosperous, far above the previous period of Castilian rule.

Here, as long as you are in good health and abide by the rules, as long as your reputation is not too bad, at least people will not starve to death!
To some extent, being able to do this during this period is already paradise in the eyes of countless people!
At night, after more than ten days of voyage, the women of Jia's family finally set foot on the ground again, and none of them wanted to go back to the boat to rest.

So a western-style garden estate that originally belonged to the Governor of Castile in Manila welcomed everyone's blessing.

In fact, as early as when Jia Lian's family appeared at the port of Manila, or even when the news that they were about to arrive in Manila appeared, someone had already received an order to start tidying up this manor.

When everyone arrived, they were all attracted by this unique western-style garden.

Although the styles are very different, the beauty is always in common.

The garden forms a small square at the intersection of roads, surrounded by pools, fountains, sculptures or small buildings in a dotted manner.

The artistic features of western gardens are reflected in the layout and structure of the gardens.

The huge main building in the manor is the command of the garden, standing on the starting point of the very prominent central axis in the garden.

The whole garden is based on this building, which constitutes the main axis of the whole garden.

Although Jia Lian is not very able to get the design ideas of Westerners, it has to be said that the feeling of living in this manor is not bad.

However, Wang Xifeng, Tanchun and a few people still felt a little uncomfortable, but they didn't object when the others expressed their desire to experience it for a few nights.

At least it's better than the cabin on the boat, and this down-to-earth feeling...

The night in Manila tonight is very clear, just like Jia Lian's mood at the moment.

It was Xie Yurong's turn to be with Zhiyu tonight.

In terms of temperament, Yu Rong is the kind of girl from a very small family, even though she was born in Ludi...

Zhiyu has been Jia Lian's big maid for a long time, dealing with all kinds of women in charge and maids of all sizes, and it is her job to take care of all kinds of trivial matters in Jia Lian's life.

This also allowed Zhiyu to develop the ability to be slick in all directions. For some reason, Yu Rong got along with her the best after entering the Rongguo Mansion.

In other words, Zhiyu gets along very well with all the women in Jia Lian's back house, but Xie Yurong is a shy person at seventy, and Zhiyu is the only woman who really has a heart-to-heart relationship with her.

No, once Jia Lian let go of his animal-like strong body, Yu Rong would have to seek foreign help.

And as a concubine, she is not qualified to ask the maids around her to help with that.

So most of the time, Jia Lian let her and Zhiyu get together, of course, sometimes Ping'er...

After a day's rest, the women of the Jia family with extraordinary physical strength spent only two days walking around the big city of Manila.

So three days later, the resupplied Yongji Princess set off again and left the port of Manila.

Returning to the sea that seemed to be the same, the girls once again started to pass the time with practice.

Only the three little Jia Hong and the four little Huihui were surprisingly energetic. Even on a boat, they still ran up and down the two decks, back and forth, left and right.

Everywhere on the deck of the Yongji Princess, they left their incomparably cheerful and crisp laughter, which made Jia Lian grin subconsciously.

But it didn't take long for the little guys to make trouble again.

"Daddy, daddy, look, it's a big floating whale~"

"Big fish!"

"Whale Whale..."

"Wangwang!"

"It's a killer whale, that's right, those are our family's killer whales, do you see how big they are?"

"Big floating whale! I want to ride a big floating whale, just like riding a horse!"

"Forehead…"

"Are you okay? Are you okay? Daddy, Daddy~"

The little thing didn't know where he learned it, and he actually started to lead his younger siblings to act coquettishly, as if he would never give up until he reached his goal.

Jia Lian: "..."

"Well, it's not impossible, but you have to ask your mothers to agree first."

"Ah~~ No, no, let's go quietly, shall we? Just ride for a while, and we'll be back in a little while."

Little Jia Hong obviously knew that she wanted to get her mothers to agree to ride a killer whale, unless the sun came out to the west, of course she just refused, she had to ask Jia Lian to find a way.

But what can Jia Lian do?

That can only be, I agree.

Jia Lian whistled, and called the largest killer whale, and let it lead the team to keep sailing parallel to the Princess Yongji.

Then Jia Lian let Ah Hu take care of the other three little things, and he hugged little Jia Hong in his arms, and jumped over the side of the boat.

In the crisp cry of the little thing "Wow~", the father and daughter landed on the broad back of the killer whale together.

Members of the killer whale team who have fought side by side with humans several times have already understood very clearly how to get along with humans.

I saw that it deliberately controlled its desire to dive, and maintained a sailing posture with a large piece of skin on its back exposed above the sea.

Because the back of the big killer whale is too wide, Jia Lian can only lean against the front of the dorsal fin of the killer whale, and let little Jia Hong stand in front of him, with his back leaning on his chest.

Opening her little hand, let little Jia Hong walk forward against the wind and waves, the little guy's hair was blown non-stop by the strong wind.

A naughty semi-big killer whale suddenly appeared next to it, jumped high from the sea beside the big killer whale, flew over the heads of the father and daughter, and plunged into the sea with a plop.

There was a high splash of water, and Jia Lian deliberately did not stop it, allowing the cold sea water to splash on himself and little Jia Hong without making people feel it.

"Oh, this little killer whale is so naughty, it wet my precious daughter, I will let the big killer whale clean it later.

But now, we have to go back and change quickly, otherwise my mother will be upset if she finds out that Xiao Hong'er wet her clothes while playing in the water. "

"..."

Jia Hong's small mouth pouted, although she hadn't played enough, she had no choice but to agree.

Jia Lian picked up little Jia Hong, jumped lightly again, and returned to the deck of Princess Yongji, handing the precious daughter to the nanny behind her.

Without looking back, he knew that Jia Ying and Jia Qiaoer were also looking at him eagerly.

The little one is obviously only a little over a year old, and he is already so awake. How can Jia Lian not love him from the bottom of his heart?

This is the continuation of his life in the world of Red Mansions, and it is one of the meanings of his existence!
