Mystery Makes Me Strong

one year later.

Tamsui City is developing rapidly.

The population exceeds 200,000.

This number far exceeds the number of Zheng Zhilong who moved to Dayuan.

The other party has been moving. In the past twenty years, it has been less than one hundred thousand.

And Wen Rensheng immigrated 200,000 refugees in just one year.

In fact, more can be immigrated.

It's just that it can't be done for a while.

After immigration, the ruling structure is a typical vassal structure.

There is a complete system of yamen and kaifu. Of course, the names are not the same, just like the various ezhens of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but they are actually various military positions of the Ming Dynasty.

Wen Rensheng has another identity here, which is called Dadongjia.

The identity of Dadong's family is known to the Tamsui immigrants, but few people know his real identity, Bingbeidao.

The big people are islands, and after most people go up, they are allowed to enter and not allowed to leave.

Only those honest and honest people who have been screened and trained can board the ship and become sailors, soldiers, and treasurers, and are allowed to go out for trade.

Of course, there are many opponents among them who want to conspire to sue Wen Rensheng to build a foundation secretly and try to plot a rebellion.

This is ridiculous.

Because Wen Rensheng really has the capital to rebel.

So he just used 30,000 taels of silver and gave it to the new governor, as well as several senior officials of the ministry, and settled the matter.

Wherever you fall in love, you will tell me where you want to go.

Is it true that Daming is still in the middle and early stages? Once someone tries to rebel, he will be arrested and taken to Beijing immediately, and a large army will be sent to fight against it.

Just like "Chenghua Liting".

In history, Zheng Zhilong also established his foundation in Dali, and also monopolized the center and left, which is equivalent to a military town, and no one accused him of treason.

It is useless to sue.

Because the current Daming is trying not to let people rebel.

As long as you don't blatantly attack the county government and don't use the banner of rebellion, you will turn a blind eye and close one eye.

In fact, Wen Rensheng didn't have to pay the 30,000 taels, and those who sued would also be beaten out.

He gave out the money 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.

A family of refugees is 5 taels of silver, and there must be at least three or more people.

For parents, wives and children reunited, an extra one or two will be given.

This price tag is not low.

Now it is only a few taels of silver to sell a strong man.

There are too many refugees.

Swept everywhere.

Many local officials are eager to send them away.

It can be seen from this that Zheng Zhilong is the dog of the household.

The Manchu Qing was cruel, and they knew how to catch the wrapped clothes and go back to work. Once they were caught, they would cost hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands of young and strong men and women.

Not only was he caught once, but he entered the bandits nine times before and after, and he was caught as far as Nanzhili.

Zheng Zhilong's annual income is as high as tens of millions, and as low as several million. His income can make Chongzhen envious.

With so much money, why not buy refugees, wasting 20 years in vain.

His son Zheng Sen started from scratch, recruited refugees, trained soldiers, and won several land victories.

It's just that life is too short, I died at the age of 38, and I made a lot of mistakes in the middle, but that's normal.

If there is Cao Cao and Liu Bei's lifespan, the Ming Dynasty cannot be restored, but there is absolutely no problem in establishing a country overseas.

It can send tens of millions of refugees to the southeast in large numbers, and definitely win several big islands.

Anyway, Wen Rensheng was holding onto his soldiers tightly.

A round of relevant general officers will be re-screened every three months.

Transfer those people whose loyalty may be shaken to civilian positions.

At this time, he immigrated 200,000 people, and after 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 will die in the first year, and half will die in the second year.

It will all be dead in ten years.

Just seeing colonists all over the world, but specific to each individual, that is natural Darwinian elimination.

A colony of 3,000 people often cannot last for 20 years.

To really persist until the colony grows stronger, most of the commonality is that the local aborigines are relatively friendly.

The environment is highly similar to the original place, and belongs to the temperate climate, not hot and humid climate.

There are fewer diseases.

Food resources are abundant.

There are unique trade goods output.

Only with these common characteristics can they develop.

Early human colonies were fragile.

There is no such thing as putting down 3,000 people in the game, and it becomes 6,000 after 20 years.

Most colonies put down 2,000 people, and after 20 years, there are only dozens of beggars and vagrants left.

One is that many colonies have no trade goods, and it is difficult to maintain themselves after they are established.

Slowly, no ships came.

How can there be any official ships to fix trade these days?

Without unique trade items, people will run and go.

And the big ones are blessed.

It's too close to Daming.

All living resources can be easily obtained.

And it can also serve as a trade transit port, which can provide great value.

For example, the ships going north to the island country need to be repaired and replenished here, and at the same time put down some goods to buy valuable materials such as deerskin and cane sugar.

This gives it a solid trade foundation for its development.

Burn forests to open up wasteland.

Wen Rensheng implemented the ancient Fubing system.

In fact, it is very simple, that is, the land is allocated to each household. Combination of soldiers and farmers, farming the land in peacetime, training between farms, and joining the army in wartime.

In fact, it was also the military household system of Ming Dynasty.

This system is destined to rot within 30 years.

Because military officers are particularly prone to land annexation.

Fortunately, Wen Rensheng used the older Fubing system, which could last longer.

In fact, this is also similar to the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

In fact, the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties were learned from the military household system of the Ming Dynasty.

It was just because of the pressure of survival that the status was reversed.

The military households are superior, exploiting and owning slaves.

Even the poor and lowly in the Eight Banners can gain benefits and survive by oppressing and exploiting the Han people, which greatly eases the economic contradictions within the Eight Banners, thus making them appear united.

This is the fundamental economic reason why the Eight Banners were united in one mind in the early days and were able to fight very well.

This is the result of the external transfer of economic contradictions.

The leaders of the Eight Banners didn't understand this economic principle, but it didn't prevent them from instinctively understanding that their own people were poor, and if they led the poor to fight against Ming Dynasty, they could keep their poor people from rebelling.

But the Daming military households had no choice.

Being suppressed and exploited, the last bit of fighting power was lost.

Usually there is no drill, once on the battlefield, as long as you see the enemy, you must prepare to flee.

There are not many servants, and if the battle goes wrong, the military household soldiers will flee.

For Wen Rensheng, it is enough to solve the problems of Daming, Liaodong, and peasant uprisings within 30 years.

There are 30,000 households with 150,000 people, and each household can have 30,000 soldiers.

In order to be elite and reduce logistics, improve mobility and combat effectiveness, he reduced the 30,000 people again, and finally reduced them to 8,000.

Among them, there are 6000 combat soldiers and 2000 heavy soldiers.

During the war, refugees were hired as porters.

2000 The supply of soldiers is a matter of logistics related to professional training.

Cooking, camping, and digging trenches are all things that have been said in ancient military books.

In fact, there are all kinds of methods. The reason why Ming failed was not because he didn't know the method, but because he knew it, but he didn't want to use it, couldn't use it, and couldn't use it.

In addition to conscription, there is a variety of food.

Rice, sweet potatoes, corn, all arranged.

As a whole, there is no problem in relocating one million refugees in the end.

It just needs to continue to expand.

The north is getting more and more chaotic.

Civil unrest has broken out several times.

With the help of local officials, Wen Rensheng quickly brought in a large number of people.

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 bureaucratic gentry, everyone wants to do this.

The Zheng family killed many pirates one after another, and then killed the bureaucratic gentry agents headed by Xu Xinsu, allowing themselves to monopolize the goods export agent of the gentry group, and thus monopolized the trade in the southeast.

And Wen Rensheng's advantage is that he has the signature of a civil servant.

Civil servants still have a natural advantage these days.

It is very convenient in acting as the agent of the bureaucratic gentry.

He can easily obtain a large amount of goods from the area under his jurisdiction, and then resell them to his own fleet, other people's fleet, and the red-haired fleet.

There is a conflict here.

That is piracy affects trade.

He wants to completely quell the southeast pirates.

As for how to fight, Wen Rensheng bought large ships from Westerners, bought armed merchant ships, cannons, and muskets, and set up shipyards and gun factories to manufacture them himself.

These are all manual workshops, and there is no need for much machinery at this time.

In this regard, Daming has abundant manpower to use.

In fact, many Westerners came here in this era.

Just like Dutch Red Hair, there are at least 30,000 people on the southeast ocean.

Xihongmao has at least 50,000.

Of course, this is all mixed with the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled.

Why do you say that?

Because after some people came here to live, they married the local aborigines and gave birth to children.

On the one hand, it is engaged in ships and guns, and on the other hand, it is people.

In terms of manpower, he recruited manpower from refugees.

Also recruited from the West.

Wen Rensheng employs a mix at a ratio of 1:3.

1 Westerner matches 3 Ming refugees.

The advantage of this is the traditional and decadent checks and balances.

But it can be used for a while.

There were also various checks and balances within the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

The existence of Westerners can guarantee that Ming soldiers will not betray themselves because of their loyalty to the emperor.

After all, Westerners only value money and only salary.

They can pay their own salaries, as long as there are not many casualties, 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 John's country.

In case someone wants to betray him, he can use these Westerners to suppress him.

In the same way, if Westerners want to ask for sky-high prices, and ask for sky-high employment fees at critical times, they can use refugee soldiers to suppress them.

This is the shrewdness of Wen Rensheng, the method of employing people.

He knows the methods ahead of the times, and he is also proficient in those dross techniques.

Some people have worked hard to get to a high position, but they quit by themselves. It is simply childish and ridiculous. He will give up all those who follow him.

It is a kind of childish disease on the right time.

And Wen Rensheng would never make these mistakes.

His wisdom is unparalleled, and his heart is unparalleled.

Everything can be solved at a glance, and any problem can be understood immediately.

Refugee soldiers all recruit people with families.

In short, try to be restrained as much as possible. There are bounties for going to sea to fight. One hand is money and the other is hostages. With basic training and military law in wartime, soldiers are not afraid of not working hard or giving their lives.

Of course, building a ship is not easy.

Westerners are also unwilling to spread technology.

But they came to the southeast for money.

Wen Rensheng lured them with the share of goods and hired them to build western ships.

Anyway, as long as there is money, there are many Western experts.

The biggest advantage of this year is that many people don't have any idea of ​​loyalty to the country.

It's still about personal wealth.

There are no Western technical barriers.

There may be some specific technical secrecy.

But as long as you give enough money, poaching people is not difficult.

Wen Rensheng employs multiple prongs.

At the same time, there were some betrayals inside.

Some people ran away with a full cargo.

Such are the dangers of being at sea.

Escaping a ship through hard work, even wearing and carrying goods is worth 100,000 taels.

If no one saw it, or if the ship didn't come back, you'd think he was shipwrecked and there was nothing to do with his family.

This is why it is necessary to find someone with a family and a clan as the captain.

A single dog cannot be the captain.

No one believed in their loyalty to the owners and shareholders.

Fortunately, Wen Rensheng set up sticky poles to board the boat at the beginning, and killed all the betrayers.

Then they chased the boat back.

After similar things happened a few times, the number of defectors was greatly reduced.

Because they knew it and stretched out their hands and were chopped off.

Of course not stupid.

Then take a safer way to make money.

This kind of thinking abounds, and everyone thinks so.

After doing these chores, Wen Rensheng finally coordinated everything and started the real battle half a year later.

This year, the Eastern captives entered the bandits.

Since then, a large-scale looting career has been opened every two years.

They chose to enter through the Mongolian side wall.

Along the way, the military fort fled.

Only a few large military castles chose to stick to it.

However, the other party surrounded and did not attack, but rushed in all the way.

Those military fortresses have no choice but to light up the smoke and notify the land of Gyeonggi.

The Eight Banners rushed in all the way.

At this time, the court panicked.

Start to summon the soldiers of the world to serve the king.

Wen Rensheng naturally knew it immediately.

His soldiers and mercenaries have been training for more than a year, and now they are going to practice on the battlefield.

No matter how well you practice on the training ground, if you don't see blood, kill people, or behead you, you will never become a strong army.

He wouldn't rashly use a group of recruits to beat the Eastern captives.

He thought for a while and chose to send the navy northward.

There were 22 large ships purchased and hired from Westerners, and 50 ships from Ming Dynasty, full of soldiers and luggage, all the way to Liaodong.

The composition of the soldiers was that he hired 3,000 Westerners, all of whom were arquebus shooters.

All muskets used are sourced and self-built.

With iron feet, well polished, the fire rate can reach 85% in daily training, and the soldiers are also very skilled.

The fastest one can fire two bullets in one minute.

The maximum range is 60 steps, which can break through two layers of armor. If you want to break through three layers of armor, you need to use a heavy matchlock gun within 20 steps.

There are also 4,000 pikemen and 2,000 shieldmen, all of whom are government soldiers.

Each has chain mail and silk linings for protection against long-range projectiles.

It is impossible to prevent flat shots at close range.

Because Donglu's flat shot is within 20 meters, and it can hit the face.

It needs to rely on the car camp to fight.
