One year later.
Tsui City is undergoing great development.
The population exceeds 200,000.
This number far exceeds the number of people Zheng Zhilong moved to the top posts.
The other party is still moving. In the past twenty years, there are still less than 100,000.
Wen Rensheng immigrated 200,000 refugees in just one year.
In fact, more immigrants can be immigrated.
It just can’t be done right now.
After the immigration, the governance structure was a typical feudal town structure.
There is a complete yamen and kaifu organizational system. Of course, the names are not the same, just like the various Ezhen in the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, which are actually the various military positions in the Ming Dynasty.
Wen Rensheng also has another identity here, called Dadongjia.
Every immigrant in Tamsui knows the identity of Dadong, but his true identity, Bing Bei Dao, is known to few.
The Dajuan is an island. After most people go up, they are allowed in but not allowed out.
Only those loyal and honest people, after being screened and trained, can board the ship and become sailors, soldiers, and shopkeepers, and are allowed to go out for trade.
Of course there are many opponents among them, who want to plot to sue Wen Rensheng for secretly establishing a foundation in an attempt to rebel.
This is funny.
Because Wen Rensheng really has the ability to rebel.
So he just used 30,000 taels of silver and gave it to the new governor and several senior officials in the ministry to settle the matter.
Sue wherever you fall in love.
Do you really think that the Ming Dynasty is still in the middle to early stage? Once someone attempts to rebel, he is immediately arrested and brought to Beijing. If he resists, a large army will be sent to conquer him.
Just like "Chenghua Liting".
In history, Zheng Zhilong also established a foundation in Dayuan, and also monopolized the central and left areas, which were equivalent to vassal towns, and no one accused him of treason.
There is no use in suing.
Because the current Ming Dynasty tries its best to prevent people from rebelling.
As long as they attack the county government unceremoniously and do not raise the banner of rebellion, they will turn a blind eye and close one eye.
In fact, Wen Rensheng didn't even have to pay the 30,000 taels. Anyone who sued him would be beaten out.
He gave money just for the convenience of recruiting the refugees.
With the endorsement of senior officials in the ministry, he can continue to deepen cooperation with local officials.
5 taels of silver per refugee household, with a minimum of three people.
If parents, wives and children are reunited, an extra one or two will be given.
This price is not low anymore.
Nowadays, a strong man can be sold for only a few taels of silver.
There are too many refugees.
Sweeping everywhere.
Many local officials were eager to send them away.
From here we can see that Zheng Zhilong is a household dog.
The Manchu Qing Dynasty was cruel, and they even knew how to arrest people who were undercover and go back to work. Once they were arrested, they would be worth hundreds of thousands, including hundreds of thousands of young and strong men and women.
He was arrested not only once, but also nine times, and was captured as far away as Southern Zhili.
Zheng Zhilong’s annual income ranges from tens of millions to millions. His income would make Chongzhen jealous to death.
With so much money, I just don’t buy refugees, which is a waste of 20 years.
His son Zheng Sen started from scratch, gathering refugees, training soldiers, and won several major land victories.
It’s just that my life was too short. I died at the age of 38. I also made a lot of mistakes in the process, but that’s normal.
If Cao Cao and Liu Bei live as long as they live, they cannot restore the Ming Dynasty, but there is absolutely no problem in establishing a country overseas.
We can send tens of millions of refugees to the southeast in large numbers, and we can definitely capture several big islands.
Anyway, Wen Rensheng held on to his soldiers tightly.
Every three months, a new round of relevant general officers must be screened.
Transfer those whose loyalty may waver to civilian positions.
At this time, he immigrated 200,000 people. In more than a year, at least 50,000 people died, leaving 150,000 people.
In fact, the survival rate is already very high.
You must know that at this time, half of the immigrants in many colonies often died in the first year, and half died in the second year.
In a dozen years they will all be dead.
Just seeing colonists all over the world, but looking specifically at each individual, it is natural Darwinian elimination.
A colony of 3,000 people often cannot last 20 years.
To truly persist in the development and growth of the colony, most of the common features are that the local indigenous people are relatively friendly.
The environment is highly similar to the original place. It has a temperate climate, not a hot and humid climate.
Diseases are less common.
Rich food resources.
Have unique trade goods output.
Only with these common characteristics can we develop.
Early human colonies were fragile.
There is no such thing in the game as letting go of 3,000 people, and then it becomes 6,000 20 years later.
Most colonies put down 2,000 people. After 20 years, there are only dozens of beggars and homeless people left.
First, many colonies do not have trade goods, and after they are developed, it is difficult to sustain themselves.
Slowly there are no more boats coming.
How can there be any official ships to stabilize trade these days?
Without unique trade items, people would run and leave.
The senior members are uniquely blessed.
Too close to Daming.
All life resources are easily accessible.
And it can also serve as a trade transit port, which can provide great value.
For example, ships heading north to the island country need to be repaired and replenished here, and at the same time, they need to put down some goods and buy valuable supplies such as deerskin and cane sugar.
This gives it a solid trade foundation for its development.
Burn forests to clear up wasteland.
Wen Rensheng implemented the ancient military system.
In fact, it is very simple. It means allocating land to each household. The army and farmers were integrated, cultivating the land in peacetime, training during farm breaks, and serving in the army during wartime.
In fact, it was also the military household system of the Ming Dynasty.
This kind of system is destined to rot in less than 30 years.
Because officers are particularly prone to land annexation.
Fortunately, Wen Rensheng used the older military system, which could last longer.
In fact, this is similar to the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties.
In fact, the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties learned from the military household system of the Ming Dynasty.
It’s just that the status is reversed due to the pressure of survival.
The military households were superior and exploited and owned slaves.
Even the poor and humble in the Eight Banners can obtain benefits and maintain their survival by oppressing and exploiting the Han people, which in turn greatly eases the economic conflicts within the Eight Banners and makes them appear united.
This is the fundamental economic reason why the Eight Banners were united and able to fight in the early days.
This is the result of the external transfer of economic contradictions.
The leaders of the Eight Banners did not understand this economic principle, but it did not prevent them from instinctively understanding that their own people were poor, and taking the poor with them to rob the Ming Dynasty would prevent their poor from rebelling.
The military households of the Ming Dynasty had no choice.
Suppressed, exploited, and without the last bit of fighting power.
There is no training at ordinary times. Once on the battlefield, you must be ready to run away whenever you see the enemy.
There are not many servants, so if the battle goes wrong, the soldiers will flee.
For Wen Rensheng, it is enough to solve the problems of Ming Dynasty, Liaodong and peasant uprisings within 30 years.
There are 30,000 households with 150,000 people, and each household has one soldier, which can produce 30,000 soldiers.
In order to elite and reduce logistics, and improve mobility and combat effectiveness, he streamlined the 30,000 people again, and finally reduced them to 8,000 people.
Among them are 6,000 combat troops and 2,000 heavy baggage troops.
During the war, refugees were hired as porters.
2000 heavy troops is a matter of logistics related to professional training.
Cooking, setting up camp, and digging trenches are all things that have long been mentioned in ancient military books.
In fact, there are all kinds of methods. The reason why Ming Dynasty failed was not that he didn’t know the method, but that he knew it but didn’t want to use it, couldn’t use it, or couldn’t use it.
In addition to conscription, there is a variety of food.
Rice, sweet potatoes, and corn are all arranged.
As a whole, there will be no problem in settling one million refugees in the end.
It just needs to continue to expand. The north is becoming more and more chaotic.
Civil unrest has broken out several times.
Wen Rensheng quickly brought a large number of people with the help of local officials.
Strength develops rapidly.
At the same time, other forces at sea, including pirates and wealthy gentry, also began violent conflicts.
Both sides wanted to monopolize maritime trade.
Whether it is the Zheng family or the bureaucrats and gentry, everyone wants to do this.
The Zheng family successively killed many pirates and then the bureaucratic gentry agents headed by Xu Xinsu, allowing themselves to monopolize the trade in the southeast as the gentry group's goods export agent.
The advantage of Wen Rensheng is that he has the reputation of a civil servant.
Civil officials still have natural advantages these days.
It is very convenient to act as an agent for the bureaucrats and gentry.
He can easily obtain a large amount of goods from within his jurisdiction, and then resell them to his own fleet, other people's fleets, and the red-haired man's fleet.
There is a conflict.
That is, pirates will affect trade.
He wants to completely quell the southeastern pirates.
As for how to fight, Wen Rensheng bought large ships, armed merchant ships, cannons, and muskets from Westerners on the one hand, and on the other hand he opened shipyards and gun factories and manufactured them himself.
These are all manual workshops, and there is no need for much machinery at this time.
In this regard, Ming Dynasty has abundant manpower at its disposal.
Actually, there are many Westerners coming here in this era.
Like Lotus Red Hair, there are at least 30,000 people on the southeastern ocean.
There are at least 50,000 Xihongmao.
Of course this is a mixture of old, weak, sick and disabled people.
Why do you say this?
Because after some people came to live here, they married local indigenous people and gave birth to children.
On the one hand, there are ships and guns, and on the other hand, there are people.
In terms of manpower, he recruited manpower from refugees.
Recruited from the West.
Wenrensheng conducts mixed employment at a ratio of 1:3.
One Westerner matches three Ming refugees.
The advantage of this is the traditional decadent political checks and balances.
But it can be of temporary use.
There were also various checks and balances within the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
The existence of Westerners can ensure that Ming soldiers will not betray themselves because of their loyalty to the emperor.
After all, Westerners only value money and salary.
They can pay their own wages, as long as the casualties are not serious, and as long as the conditions are not difficult, they still have professional qualities.
After all, Westerners are used to being mercenaries.
A John is happy to be a mercenary to fight against John.
If someone wants to betray him, he can use these Westerners to suppress him.
Similarly, if the Westerners want to ask for exorbitant prices and ask for sky-high hiring fees at a critical moment, they can also use refugee soldiers to suppress them.
This is the shrewdness of Wen Rensheng, the method of employing people.
He knows the methods that are ahead of the times, and he is also proficient in those dross techniques.
Some people work hard to sit in high positions, but then quit on their own. It is simply childish and ridiculous. He will give up all those who follow him.
It's an infantile disease.
And Wen Rensheng will never make these mistakes.
His wisdom is unparalleled, and his will is unparalleled.
Everything can be solved at a glance, and any problem can be understood at a glance.
Refugee soldiers all recruit people with families and families.
In short, it is to be as restrictive as possible. There are bounties for fighting at sea. One hand is money and the other is hostage. With basic training and wartime military law, there is no fear that the soldiers will not work hard or work hard.
Of course shipbuilding is not easy.
Westerners are also unwilling to spread technology.
But they came to Southeast for money.
Wen Rensheng lured them with a share of the goods and hired them to build Western ships.
Anyway, as long as you have money, there are many Western experts.
The biggest advantage these days is that many people have no idea of loyalty to the country.
It is still mainly about personal wealth.
There are no Western technical barriers.
There may be some specific technical secrets.
But as long as you give enough money, it's not difficult to recruit people.
Wen Rensheng took a multi-pronged approach.
At the same time there was some betrayal happening internally.
Some people ran away with a ship full of goods.
This is the danger of being at sea.
After so much hard work, a ship was worth 100,000 taels including its cargo.
If no one saw it, or the ship didn't come back, you would think he suffered a shipwreck and couldn't deal with his family.
This is why you must find someone with a family and a clan to be the captain.
A single person cannot be a captain.
No one believed in their loyalty to ship owners and shareholders.
Fortunately, Wen Rensheng had set up a sticky pole to board the ship at the beginning and killed all the betrayers.
Then the boat was chased back.
After similar things happen several times, the number of betrayers will be greatly reduced.
Because they knew they would be cut if they stretched out their hands.
Of course I won’t be stupid.
Then take safer ways to make money.
This idea abounds, everyone thinks so.
After doing these chores, half a year later, Wen Rensheng finally coordinated everything and started the real battle.
This year the Donglu invaded.
This started a career of large-scale robberies every two years.
They chose to enter through the Mongolian border wall.
On the way, the military fortress fled away from the wind.
Only a few large military castles chose to hold on.
However, the opponent surrounded them without attacking, and just rushed in all the way.
Those military fortresses had no choice but to light up the smoke and notify the capital.
The Eight Banners rushed in all the way.
At this time, the court was in panic.
Start to summon the soldiers of the world, King Qin.
Wen Rensheng naturally knew it immediately.
His soldiers and mercenaries have been training for more than a year, and now they are going to the battlefield for real training.
No matter how well you practice on the training ground, if you don't see blood, kill people, or behead people, you will never become a strong army.
He would not rashly use a group of new recruits to fight Donglu.
He thought for a while and chose to send the navy northward.
Twenty-two large ships purchased and hired from Westerners, as well as 50 ships from the Ming Dynasty, were fully loaded with soldiers and baggage, heading all the way to Liaodong.
The composition of the soldiers was that he hired 3,000 Westerners, all of whom were matchlock gunners.
All the guns used are purchased and self-made.
Using iron feet and well polished, the fire rate can reach 85% in daily training, and the soldiers are also very skilled.
The fastest one can shoot two bullets in one minute.
The maximum range is sixty steps, and it can break through two layers of armor. To break through three layers of armor, it must be within 20 steps, and a heavy matchlock gun is required.
There are also 4,000 spearmen and 2,000 shield bearers, all of whom are soldiers.
All had chain mail and silk linings to protect against long-distance projectiles.
It’s impossible to prevent a flat shot from close range.
Because Donglu’s flat shot can hit the face within 20 meters.
You need to rely on the car camp to fight.
