Lord of Ming Dynasty

"I don't want Nanyang, but Nanyang's rubber trees, ores, gold, spices, sugar cane, I want, you leave some people to take care of it for me first." Zhang Qiang said.

Zheng Keshuang was a little embarrassed, Zhang Qiang asked: "What? Is there anything embarrassing you?"

Seeing Zhang Qiang’s repeated questioning, Zheng Keshuang said: “Where the Dutch and Portuguese exclude us Han people, their living environment is quite harsh. Now that we are gone, the power there has plummeted, and the aborigines persecuted the people there under the instigation of the Dutch, and many people were slaughtered."

"What does this have to do with us?"

"I am a king, not an emperor, and even China does not have a unified king. Let's talk about it after I become emperor and unify the country. Since they have endured and resisted for many years, it will not be short of 20 years. People must save themselves If they don't save themselves, then what can we do when we go? Will they start to resist us when they hit the Dutch?

what can we get

Is it to save some white-eyed wolves?

If I am full, even if I want to save them, I want to unify them within the scope of the Huaxia Kingdom, not to help them. Now that the conditions are not ripe, I will get involved. "

Zheng Keshuang was a little embarrassed, "Your Majesty, they are all Han Chinese. You don't need to distinguish them so clearly. Helping them is equivalent to helping yourself. Our trading ships can be transferred to the Western territories through them, and they can also maintain a profit for survival." , Now that the Dutch know where we are, they will definitely not let it go. Where did you say that it is a big island that is bigger than our Han people? The ships were all wrecked at sea and lost contact, and the inland exploration has been going on for two years."

Chapter 788 The Nanyang Crisis 2

"I don't want to take care of your affairs. If you want to take care of it, go do it. Don't you have more than 900 ships in your hands? In addition, you already have more than [-] ships. You can do it yourself. Over [-] ships were built, right?

Although I estimate that there are more than 500 merchant ships and transport ships, but after modification, add a few guns, and fill in a few soldiers, they will become warships. Even if they are not warships, they are also armed merchant ships. The Dutch only have a dozen warships. , more than 500 armed merchant ships dare to rule the whole Nanyang. Even if they are not ruled by one family, they also rule a considerable territory. Your population is nearly 60 million. Although the Han population is only more than [-], there are also Nanyang native mixed-race Han people. Hundreds of thousands, if you add your original Japanese thugs and sailors in Japan, your strength is quite huge.

There is still no disadvantage in going to Nanyang to help those Nanyang Han people. "

Zheng Keshuang smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you were the one who drove us away, and now you let us come back. It's a bit bad, isn't it? Don't you worry about us coming back?"

"There's nothing to worry about. Anyway, I don't want to get involved in Guiyang for the time being. I still have a lot of things on land." Zhang Qiang said without any shame, looking at Zheng Keshuang.

Zheng Keshuang said carefully: "Then, we sent someone back, so don't blame us."

"Not to blame, not to blame you, you help us hold back the Taixi people, we are still grateful, so how about raising the price of a ton of iron ore for you in Huaxia Yuan? Of course we want your guano, It would be nice if you could get more bird droppings."

"Then thank you, Your Majesty, we will go back immediately to organize the manpower and build a transshipment base in Princess Harbor, so that our materials can be transferred from Princess Harbor to Huaxia Kingdom very quickly, so that our speed will increase by at least one-fifth. It takes four months to come here, so we can come here every three months, and going back and forth every three months will save us a lot of time.

It's also much safer on the road. "

"That's your business, I don't care, I hope you can bring more goods to trade with us next time, if you can establish a transshipment base, then you can bring more Nanyang goods, we are also happy. "

"Yes, yes, we have already discussed it. If His Majesty agrees to us, we will send at least [-] merchant ships and [-] warships to station on Palawan Island to contain the Dutch's actions." Zheng Keshuang said.

"Well, very good, but do you want to have a port in Southeast Asia?" Zhang Qiang asked.

"Southeast Asia owns a port?"

"Your Majesty, is this true?"

"Do you really want us to have a port in Southeast Asia?"

"Yes, Cambodia, which used to be Chenla, you can have a port here, trade with the people here, and allow your navy to be stationed here, but you have to provide us with some convenience, such as sending you Part of our soldiers and horses help us fight. If you can capture a port in Siam and hold it there, we can also admit that it is your territory.

But except for that port, you can no longer develop inland, and allow our soldiers to pass through or temporarily station there as our forward base, and the rest is not your business. "

Zhou Porridge looked at Zhang Qiang very contemptuously. His Majesty the King wanted to play what he did to the State of Lu and let the State of Lu fight Japan. As a result, Hong Chengchou of the State of Lu died, and his son, the third prince, finally won the victory. , This process was somewhat tortuous, but with his support, the third prince still fully seized the power of the Lu State, and finally changed back to the Ryukyu Kingdom. Now he is still resisting the invasion of Jeju Island by the Qing Dynasty, and at the same time helping the Huaxia Kingdom to defend China Now he has sent Gu Yuesheng to urge the third prince to attack the Japanese again.

It seems that he always likes to use other people's hands to destroy his opponents.

Zheng Keshuang is not a young and energetic master who is easy to fool, at least he is not easy to fool compared to the third prince. The main reason is that the third prince is limited to domestic conspiracy and estimation struggles, and he is an expert in internal struggles. His old man Hong Chengchou is such a person People, if Hong Chengchou is asked to fight tactical warfare, he may be defeated in a mess. If he is asked to plan the overall situation, he did well in Ming and Qing Dynasties, but he is also very limited, but the Zheng family, they are people who are on the sea. There are many worlds.

Zheng Keshuang has been in charge of the Zheng family's plan to exchange ore with Huaxia Kingdom's water masters and population slaves. He has been training for two years, and he will not agree to Zhang Qiang immediately.

"Your Majesty, can I go back and discuss it with my father and brothers?"

"You know I'm just a member of the Zheng family, not even the eldest son."

The eldest son of the Zheng family is equivalent to the crown prince or prince, and Zheng Keshuang is the youngest one, and there are many brothers and sisters on him. He is just an errand in the Zheng family, so he made such a cautious suggestion. He can't be the master, and it can also be seen that he is cautious and hopes to get things done without offending others.

Zhang Qiang and Zhou Porridge understood him very well.

So Zheng Keshuang left, taking the goods he bought from the Huaxia Kingdom, raw silk, gunpowder, cannons, tea, and various supplies.

Zhou Porridge looked at Zhang Qiang and said, "Your Majesty, you mean to ask the Zheng family to help Li Yuanyin and Tian Xian?"

Zhang Qiang nodded, "Yes, I am not planning to move the troops in Southeast Asia. Instead, I will lay off some troops so that a large number of militiamen can be restored to civilians, and they will be converted to civilians on the spot. The garrison is responsible for regional operations, and the ordinary militia brigade has to be laid off, otherwise it will drag down our economy and delay our economic construction. At the same time, the tense state also makes some people feel lucky.

If we reduce some troops, they will feel that there is no hope here, and they can only be honest people, our Han people, and ordinary people, waiting to be naturalized.We use time to slowly digest their nationality.

We have done a good job in this area. The core area has basically stabilized, at least keeping people away from wars. The next step is to include Yunnan and Guizhou in the core area. Yunnan has already entered the core area construction, so we can speed up our unification. , and that's what we're going to do.

Although we have launched several offensive plans against Shaanxi-Gansu, they were delayed due to various reasons. Now in the Shaanxi-Gansu area, we have only advanced less than [-] kilometers, and we have not even touched the door of others. I've gone there, I'm going to transfer some of Ma Sanli and Ma Han's troops to Shaanxi and Gansu to deal with Shang Kexi and Wu Sangui. "

Zhou Congee asked: "What about the Great Jin Kingdom? Aren't you going to use them to contain and bring down the Great Qing Kingdom?"

Chapter 789 The Great Jin Country Is Dead

Zhang Qiang turned around and walked around, and after a long while suddenly raised his head, "The Dajin Kingdom has really delayed us for too long, too long, and the Qing Dynasty was not dragged to death, because behind them there is an agricultural country similar to ours, Goguryeo, who is supporting them. Producing food and supporting the population Last time I counted the population of the Qing Dynasty at 5000 million, but without the population of Goguryeo, the population there was as many as 2000 million.”

Zhang Qiang walked a few more steps with his hands behind his back, "2000 million, how many newborns will we have this year? It's only 300 million people. When this year is over, our newborn population may increase by several million, but not It will exceed 300 million. This is because of the Han population in our country, and the population of the younger generation has been immigrated by several million.

I went to Sishan Prefecture, Yunnan Guizhou Prefecture, Southeast Asia, Qiongdao, Xinlu Prefecture and Siguo Prefecture, and tens of thousands of people were sold to Zheng Keshuang. These are people who have reached the age of marriage and childbearing. We can reduce the number of births by at least 200 million a year. Sishan Prefecture is not yet our official territory, but our occupied territory.

It will take at least two years for them to stabilize. After two years, it will be assimilation education. When they are no longer threatened by war, they can be transferred to our core area, counted as our unified official territory, and joined the embrace of the Huaxia Kingdom. "

Zhou Porridge thought for a while and asked in puzzlement, "Why does Goguryeo have such a long history, but the population cannot develop?"

Zhang Qiang said with a smile: "Because their territory is too small to support so many people, our Han people have too much territory, but too little food and too little land, so we can't support so many people, so don't look at the large number of people born. But there are also a lot of people who die, and every time there is a large population, uprisings and wars will consume at least the population that has developed in the past hundred years, and the remaining population will continue to die under limited food until they fall. Only when everyone can accept it and can barely support themselves will they calm down.

The same is true of Goguryeo, but the Mongols are not engaged in production. Although the land is large, the grassland needed to feed a person on the grassland is even larger, so their population has never been able to develop. Now the Qing Dynasty implemented a reduction in order to prevent the Mongols from threatening their status. According to the Ding policy, the large population will be killed. Now because of our existence, they need a large number of soldiers, but they will not allow the Mongols to have too many people.

The living environment before the Qing Dynasty was harsh, even worse than that of the Mongols, so their population was pitifully small. Now their people have grabbed a place where it is easier to survive, and we Han people are raising them, so they keep giving birth to children. , the recent population can only reach tens of millions of people, and the territory of the Dajin Kingdom is small, and they are constantly losing battles, making their lives difficult. Even the food is supported by us, so the population cannot grow, so they will definitely fail. This is our Things that have long been expected.

I thought they would be able to hold back the Qing Dynasty, but now it seems that they are not very effective, so I decided to let our corps go up and destroy them, but now it seems that we don't have to fight Dajin, the Qing Dynasty is in After receiving reinforcements from Shang Kexi and the others, they attacked back and forth, which had already caused the Kingdom of Jin to appear defeated.It won't be long before the Great Jin Kingdom will perish. "

Sure enough, within a few days, Wei Wuji came to Zhang Qiang, "Your Majesty, Xiao Fei's corps has recently intercepted many fleeing people, about 20 people, and they brought news that Oboi has broken through Niangzi Pass and Yanmen Pass, and the army is on the way Going south, there were many fleeing people even at the border between Henan Prefecture and Shanxi Prefecture. There were thousands of people in large groups. In less than five days, the Xuanyuan Dragon Flying Corps had accepted [-] refugees. Xuanyuan Longfei asked us how to deal with these people?"

Zhang Qiang replied solemnly: "All of them were intercepted. We asked for food for them. We dispatched the Ministry of Military Intelligence, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Supervision Department, and the supervisors of the punishment battalion to set up refugee camps in the border area. Each camp is five miles apart. Each camp can accommodate at most 1 people, plan the camp well, don't have any epidemics, and at the same time prevent the spies of the Qing Dynasty from mixing in and making trouble, dispatch the militia brigades from Henan, Shandong, and Sishan Prefectures to guard them, and at the same time mobilize the account militia on the border to go out Propaganda and patrolling, do not allow spies to infiltrate our territory to cause trouble, seal the border from today, do not allow a single person to sneak in, suspend all aid, suspend all smuggling projects, and do not allow any caravans to cross the border.

Then let them go to fight, we are ready to attack, let the field brigade prepare to attack, the militia elite brigade prepares to cooperate with the attack, the garrison brigade strengthens local law and order, and is always ready to deal with the enemy's sudden attack from unexpected places, combat war preparations . "

After explaining Wei Wuji's preparations, Wei Wuji will definitely entrust the General Staff to plan and issue combat orders, and then the Corps will complete the mission according to the orders issued by the General Staff. Even if the people below are not experienced enough in command, as long as they can complete the mission, they will achieve the goal. The war will basically be won.

It is no longer necessary for Zhang Qiang to go to the front line to command and check.

Now the Huaxia Kingdom's army has matured. A large number of officers have graduated and put into actual combat, playing their roles in various positions. Skills can also complete combat objectives, strategies, defend the country, and the great cause of unification requires only waiting and time.

Zhang Qiang put down his work and took his family out of the palace to inspect various places. He said it was an inspection, but he actually took his wife and sons to play. He is not another emperor, and he can’t go anywhere in the palace. Like a prison, he has enough freedom. Of course, the security work will definitely not be delayed. The security personnel must work hard, and he must spend money. The king of the Huaxia Kingdom, like other kings, has his own internal treasury. There are special officials in charge, mainly for royal expenses.

A month later, Zhang Qiang took a look at the construction of the new ship in Hangzhou, and then played in Hangzhou for a few days. After that, he went to Haomen to inspect the garrison troops there, especially to the original Portuguese Governor's Palace, the Portuguese In the meeting hall, I looked at the Portuguese church there, returned to Guangzhou and stayed for a few days, and went to Jiangxi Prefecture to inspect it.
