Not to mention that the United States had not yet been established at this time, even in the era when the United States was developing the western region, the entire west coast of the North American continent was the deserted Gobi Desert.

However, Tagawa Jiro knew that this was a new continent, which was exactly what the emperor called North America.

In order to achieve the purpose of the expedition, Tagawa could only let the team go deep into the western continent of North America.The harsh environment surrounded the expedition team, and various dangerous situations continued to occur.

The Spaniards in Manila were so frightened that they didn’t even dare to show their faces, but the whole of Nanyang became a mess overnight. In some places, the natives, whether they were bandits, pirates, or so-called kings, all came out and occupied a small area. The island dares to be king and hegemony.

In Palembang, Sumatra Island, Shi Lang led a group of ragged men, watching the surroundings vigilantly.

This group of people is not as good as the beggars in Daming in terms of their clothes. Their clothes have already been torn into strips of cloth, hanging on their bodies like colorful flags.Some people have begun to wear grass ropes around their waists to hide their shame, and their dark skin is almost close to that of Africans. If they were not equipped with standard weapons equipped by the Ming army, they might have been classified as native Hawaiians.

Shi Lang already knew that the Dutch were going north to attack Daming, but no one told him what the battle was going to be like.

The level of civilization in Nanyang is too low, let alone a civilized person, you can't even find a fig leaf.Even if Shi Lang and the others had money, they couldn't exchange for basic daily necessities.

Ever since, they became savages, and then they fought against wild beasts all day long, living till now.

Ten days ago, Shi Lang's army finally learned from some savvy natives that the Ming court was sending people to look for them.After confirming that this was not a trap set by the Dutch, Shi Lang led a small team to Palembang.

As soon as he raised his head, Shi Lang saw the familiar flag of Ming Dynasty from a distance, and under the flag was a group of "relatives" wearing familiar military uniforms.

Tears welled up in Shi Lang's eyes, and he rushed over on the spot.

"Who are you, are you Shi Lang's people?" Zhu Youjian could no longer recognize the team in front of him, he thought it was another group of native savages who were about to rob.

"Your Majesty!" A dark face approached Zhu Youjian, and then wept loudly.

"It's only been half a year, how did it become like this." Zhu Youjian can only lament the magic of nature. If a later generation falls on this island, he is afraid that there will be no basic civilized society to support him, and will he degenerate in the end? Maybe even become a primitive man.

Anyway, Shi Lang in front of him is about to degenerate into a caveman.

Shi Lang got his wish, he became the governor of Jakarta, and then with the support of Zhu Youjian, he formed the first foreign legion of Ming Dynasty in the city renamed Jakarta, and it was also the foreign legion of the navy.

The Daming East India Company was formally established, but its headquarters was in Guangzhou. With the help of the management team of the former Dutch East India Company, [-]% of the Dutch business stations in Nanyang were taken over by the Daming East India Company.

In this battle, Ming Dynasty made it difficult to move the entire South China Sea Fleet. The headquarters was set up in Singapore, Wansheng Island was the logistics support office, and Jakarta was the throat of the southern gate.

At the same time, for the first time, the tentacles of Daming's navy went south to a strange big island.

No one knows what the name of the island is, only that the island is relatively desolate.Zhu Youjian stayed in Nanyang for more than two months, and finally got the news that the new big island is very desolate, with a large desert.

Therefore, Zhu Youjian personally named the big island "Australia", and then announced that the island would belong to the royal family.

Why did Zhu Youjian emphasize this?

Because at this time, the country of Ming Dynasty had already exploded, and the emerging nobles had previously fully supported Zhu Youjian to expand the navy to fight the Dutch.

Now that the battle has really been won, and it is said that the newly acquired territory is tens of thousands of kilometers, it is still worth it. Everyone is clamoring for the emperor to fulfill his promise.

Regarding the development of Nanyang land, after Zhu Youjian's in-depth investigation, he decided to return to China, and it was time to fulfill his promise.

On the tenth day of August 1653, Emperor Zhu Youjian of the Ming Dynasty returned to Nanjing on a first-class warship.

The next day, the emperor's reward plan was announced.

According to Zhu Youjian's reward, all nobles with titles of viscount and above are eligible to claim an island in Nanyang, but the emperor has new regulations, and the family who claims the island must pay a sum of land cashier every year.

The money is not expensive, one acre of land a year.

This one dollar is not equal to one silver dollar. It is a new currency system and the basic banknote newly withdrawn by Ming Dynasty, which is equivalent to one-sixth of a silver dollar.

This price is really not expensive, and many honorable families think it is too cost-effective. They think of Nanyang Islands based on the area of ​​​​the land in China.

Only Xia Wanchun and a few people who had been to Nanyang secretly laughed behind him.

Ordinary people buy an island just like buying a house. In fact, they buy islands as a whole. No matter how many acres an island has, they may only regret it after they get on the island.

Second, Zhu Youjian also used this transaction to make the concept of benchmark currency deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The emperor's policy came out, and the whole city of Nanjing was talking about Nanyang islands. For a while, no one doubted how many islands there were in Nanyang.

If Zhu Youjian said that there are more than 1 large and small islands in Nanyang, I am afraid that the enthusiasm of these people will never be so high.

There are more than 1 islands, even if they are opened up for wealthy people in Ming Dynasty to buy, they can last at least a few hundred years.What's more, there is still a large amount of land cashier fees that can be collected every year, so this is not a loss-making business.

It is false that Zhu Youjian wants to seal off the island, but it is true to take the opportunity to develop Nanyang.

To be honest, the real agricultural back garden of the Ming Dynasty should be in South Asia.The land output in this place is many times higher than that in the Central Plains, and with the addition of a lot of land that can be developed, the annual output of grain and fruit alone can feed two or three Ming Dynasty.

The reason why they want to compete for Nanyang and turn the South China Sea into the inner lake of Daming is really because this place is so good.

Today, Zhu Youjian's idea has been realized. If Ming Dynasty does not develop Nanyang as soon as possible, the Dutch and Europeans are not fools.Their strength remains, as long as the Anglo-Dutch war stops, these people will immediately make a comeback.

Zhu Youjian is not sure how long the Anglo-Dutch war will last this time, but the time left for Daming will not be too long.

Zhu Youjian paid attention to letting the nobles come to Nanyang to have a look first, and then naturally domestic businessmen will follow to provide services, and then capital and labor will follow.

This is different from the fact that the Chinese who went to Nanyang to make a living in the official history were all poor landless farmers.

If a place wants to develop rapidly, both capital and labor are indispensable.

The labor force needed to develop Nanyang is not a small amount, and the largest source of labor is of course the Central Plains, which even foreign devils know.

Zhu Youjian's eyes are first on the poor people in the two vast mountains. Instead of letting these people live in the mountains, it is better to give them a better environment, let the Chinese who are accustomed to hard work become rich, and let the Chinese people who are used to hard work become rich. Lazy South Asian monkeys give up their God-given land.

Of course, Ming's army will protect the achievements of the hardworking people this time, and will not let the lazy people habitually become robbers.

Those who dare to stretch out their hands chop off their paws, and those who dare to stretch out their feet chop off their thighs.If you work honestly like everyone else, then give them food.

Chapter 621: Emperor Ming's draft girl

The peak period for the first batch of infants and young children in Ming Dynasty has arrived as scheduled, and the new population of the entire Ming Dynasty has doubled year by year in the past three years.

After a thorough census, the total population of Ming Dynasty is close to 4000 million, but this number is far behind Zhu Youjian's expectations.

In this era when population is the national strength, if Da Ming wants to establish a territory in the world that he can freely use, he still needs more population.

In this matter, Zhu Youjian has nothing to do in a hurry.With such a large population base, it is impossible to reach an astronomical figure of hundreds of millions in a short period of time, not to mention having children alone is not enough to support them.

According to Zhu Youjian's thinking, it is reasonable for Ming to immigrate to the Americas at least [-] million. In addition to the North, Southeast Asia, Australia and other places, Ming's desire for population is very huge.

In desperation, Zhu Youjian could only focus on Japan again.

But there is another problem here. If too many Japanese women are introduced in a certain area, will it be a problem for the second generation in the future, such as some species left in a certain island.

There are now 20 million Japanese women in the Northeast, and they can no longer be transported to the Northeast. Zhu Youjian set his eyes on Sichuan.

In order to guard against these people, Zhu Youjian decided that the Japanese women introduced from Japan in the future should not be concentrated, but must be dispersed.And the number cannot exceed 50, and there will be hidden dangers if it is more.
