The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas
Chapter 420: Smooth sailing
Forcing the leftover women to pay taxes is an ancient system. At that time, the Han emperor Liu Bang stipulated that all the people over the age of 15 and under the age of 56, regardless of men and women, must pay a poll tax to the government. The tax is 120 copper coins per person per year, which is one calculation. .
In order to stimulate women to marry and give birth early, it is stipulated that women must marry at the age of 15, so as to contribute to the birth of children. If you reach the legal age of 15, and you still don’t marry, you will be punished with heavy taxes.
In 189 BC, Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty decree: Women who are from 15 to 30 years old do not marry, five counts.
You must know that 5 times the tax amount of 600 yuan at that time was not a small sum. At that time, the price of grain was 100 jin for one stone and 120 jin for one stone. 600 jin was 720 jin of grain, which was equivalent to an adult's annual ration. The key is that this "single tax" is the same as the poll tax once a year until the end of singles. This is simply a weapon to eliminate "leftover women".
Undoubtedly, this is a strange and barbaric policy, which not only increases the financial burden of families with girls, but also increases the burden on women's hearts. This policy exposes that the feudal rulers completely regarded women as the state's fertility machine and the women's belly as a tool of state production, which was extremely inhumane.
Nowadays, the boss of the Southeast Mansion, Yan Mou, has also been inhumane once. The retro system is used to calculate the five counts for unmarried women between the ages of 20 and 30. This is also the head tax of the Southeast Mansion.
Most of the young women in the southeastern government were married before they were twenty, and the baby boom began in the second year.
In this way, Yan Changwu tied the people of the Southeast Mansion to his chariot and rolled forward!
The colorful flags on the wharf are fluttering, and the atmosphere is noisy. There is no sadness of separation, but a head full of meritorious deeds.
Three thousand immigrants go south by boat!
Originally planned to be 1,000 people, but found that there was more capacity and more people signed up, so there would be 3,000 people.
They are all young men and women, two thousand men and one thousand women. They ride on five large transport ships, which are equivalent to Tier 3 battleships and can transport 600 people. They are escorted by two Tier 3 battleships and two Tier 5 cruise ships. Six sixth-tier cruise ships and four Yasha-class transport ships equivalent to fifth-tier cruise ships are provided for support.
In addition, more than 20 civilian merchant ships heading south also followed!
Not only the government's organization, but various families also sent their clansmen to make a fortune in Java.
The Southeast Executive Government took an encouraging attitude towards this, stating that for every person who came, it would give a subsidy of ten silver dollars, and there would be rewards for more people.
Although this trip is far away, there are many ruthless people from Fujian, Guangdong, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.
People boarded the deck, a navy band was playing music, family and friends waved their arms and cheered, people on the deck crowded together, shouting to the shore, saying goodbye.
They are full of confidence, because their boss has arranged properly and personally sees them off and sacrifices to Mazu. May this trip go smoothly!
...
Back in the cockpit, they all slept in hammocks. They were not used to it at first, but the young people are adaptable and will be able to sleep soundly soon.
Gradually, it calmed down. After the ships had conducted abandon ship escape and fire fighting training and learning, people's emotions had obviously calmed down and they realized that the trip was dangerous.
But in fact, the voyage was very smooth. They headed south, passing through the Bashi Channel and the Balintang Strait. The archipelago along the way was full of people. Some large islands were also flying the flag of the Southeastern Government. Then they arrived at Luzon, the northern port city of Pasha There are already construction workers from the Southeast government working there to build various facilities at the port of Lun.
They got supplies there, ate well, and even organized ashore to play for a long time.
After that, we sailed along the coast of Luzon and docked every long distance for supplies. After reaching the "Baque" area on Palawan Island, we headed south to the Kalimantan Peninsula, where there are many small tribes, which makes the southeast fleet happy. The problem is that supplies can still be obtained along the way-----The "armed parade" of the Southeast Fleet along the Kalimantan Peninsula after taking down Batavia still frightened many people. They were a threat to the southeast government by giving convenience to the southeast government. , There are also buyouts.
After sparing the western part of the Kalimantan Peninsula, we went down to Pontianak, where there was a small army stationed in the southeast province. There were two boats and about 500 people coming down to take root in Pontianak.
After Pontianak, you still go down, then you will reach Belitung Island, and then down, to Java, it takes more than two months to complete the voyage!
On the whole, the main reason is that the halfway is guaranteed, so that it is quite smooth, and there is no one died of illness on the sea journey. It can be said that there is Mazu blessing!
The young people disembarked and walked on unfamiliar land with their heads high, and were warmly welcomed by the local government!
Since then, the southeast government has immigrated to Java step by step.
Under Yan Changwu's governance, the Southeast Mansion acted according to his baton. The military and civilians supported his grand strategy. The military and the people were like iron!
In the foreign war, he defeated the Dutch, the strongest force in Asia, and forced the Spanish to sign an unequal treaty. He went to Macau and blackmailed the Portuguese on the pretext that the Portuguese helped the Dutch.
What did you get?
The Southeast Fleet moved Macau’s "Bigalaw Cannon Factory" back to the Southeast Mansion!
This artillery factory is very famous. 1557 was the 36th year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty. The Portuguese artillery expert Peter Bugarao opened the artillery factory at the end of the village of Zhuzaishi at the foot of the western mountain in Macau. As a manager.
Most of the copper materials needed by the artillery foundry were purchased from Japan, while iron ore, sulfur and the like were sourced locally from areas adjacent to Macau. The cannons produced are divided into two types: iron cannons and bronze cannons. The iron cannons originated from Huagong, and the bronze cannons were created by the Portuguese. The bronze cannon has a long range and is durable. During the British and French wars, the famous British general Clinton used the bronze cannon produced by the factory to show its power in the peninsula battle. By the 1720s, the factory had developed into a large-scale cannon casting factory, not only producing cannons, but also artillery shells, gunpowder, and even the bronze bells of the hall.
After the Ming Dynasty government learned about it, ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, it has sent people to Macau to buy artillery on many occasions. In 1624 was the fourth year of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming people bought 4 cannons, and in 1629 they purchased 10 more. Emperor Chongzhen gave the Macau cannons placed on the gates of Beijing the name "Shenwei General".
Following the Spaniards, the Portuguese surrendered in front of more than forty Southeastern warships and handed over to the artillery factory to obtain the Southeast Army’s non-attack and ensure the safety of Macau.
With the technical strength and equipment of the artillery factory, the artillery technology of the Southeast Mansion has been further enhanced, and the "scientific research" finally looks like a look.
Yan Changwu advocated that under the control situation, we should leave some room for Hong Maofan. He robbed others' artillery factory on the one hand, and placed an order with the Portuguese on the other side, renting ten of them to ship supplies to Java!
Army training, army building, economic construction, reproductive service, immigration, etc. are all smoothly and smoothly. The life of Yan Dashao is very happy. It is too smooth. God can't see it. Give him some color. .
News from the mainland: Sun Tingzong, the emperor and supervisor on the front line of Ningyuan, resigned. Zhang Fengyi took his place. The guy surnamed Zhang had tooth marks with Sun Tingzong. He overthrew Sun Tingzong’s defense against captives and restarted. The Southeast Army troops on the front line of Ningyuan were in a difficult situation. !
