Chapter 2116 Going to battle(1/3)
one year later.
Danshui City is undergoing great development.
The population exceeds 200,000.
This number far exceeds the number of people Zheng Zhilong moved to the top ranks.
The other party is still moving, and 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's just that I can't get it done right now.
After the immigration, the governance structure was a typical feudal town structure.
There is a complete yamen and government structure. Of course, the names are not the same, just like the various Ezhen in the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. In fact, they are the various military positions in the Ming Dynasty.
Wen Rensheng also has another identity here, which is called Dadongjia.
The identity of Dadong is known to all Danshui immigrants, but few people know his true identity, Bing Bei Dao.
The Great Hall is an island, and once most people get on it, they are allowed in but not allowed out.
Only those who are loyal and honest can board the ship, become sailors, soldiers, and shopkeepers after being screened and trained, and are allowed to go out to do 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.
You can sue wherever you fall in love.
Is it really true that the Ming Dynasty is still in the middle and early stages of the Ming Dynasty? Once someone attempts to rebel, he will be immediately arrested and brought to Beijing. If he resists, he will send a large army to conquer him.
Just like "Chenghua Liting".
In history, Zheng Zhilong also established a foundation in Dayuan, and also monopolized a central and left area, which was equivalent to a vassal town, and no one accused him of treason.
It's useless to sue.
Because the Ming Dynasty now tries its best to prevent people from rebelling.
As long as the county government is not attacked brazenly and the banner of rebellion is not raised, one eye will be turned a blind eye or the other will be closed.
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 ministry officials, he can continue to deepen cooperation with local officials.
A refugee household costs 5 taels of silver, and the minimum number is three people.
If parents, wives and children are reunited, an additional one tael 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 also knew how to capture hundreds of thousands of prisoners and hundreds of thousands of young and strong men and women.
He was arrested not only once, but nine times before and after he entered the banditry, and he was captured as far away as Southern Zhili.
Zheng Zhilong's annual income ranges from tens of millions of taels to millions. His income would make Chongzhen jealous to death.
With so much money, 20 years of time are wasted in vain if we don’t buy refugees.
His son Zheng Sen started from scratch, gathering refugees, training soldiers, and won several major land victories.
It’s just that my life span was too short, I died at the age of 38, and I 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 will not be able to restore the Ming Dynasty, but there will be 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. Over a year, at least 50,000 people died, leaving 150,000 people.
In fact, this 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 looking at colonists all over the world, but looking specifically at each individual, it's natural Darwinian elimination.
A colony of 3,000 people often cannot last 20 years.
The most common thing that can really persist until the colony develops and grows is that the local indigenous people are relatively friendly.
The environment is highly similar to that of the original place. It has a temperate climate, not a hot and humid climate.
Diseases are relatively rare.
Food resources are abundant.
Has unique trade goods output.
Only with these common characteristics can we develop.
Early human colonies were fragile.
There is no such thing as the game where you drop 3,000 people and then 20 years later the number becomes 6,000.
Most colonies put down 2,000 people, and after 20 years, there are only dozens of beggars and homeless people left.
First, many colonies did not have trade goods, and after they were developed, it was difficult to sustain themselves.
Slowly no more ships came.
How can there be any official ships to stabilize trade these days?
Without unique trade goods, people would just run or leave.
And senior officials are uniquely blessed.
It's too close to Daming.
All life resources are easily accessible.
Moreover, it can also serve as a trade transit port and 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 deer skins and cane sugar.
This gives it a solid trade foundation for its development.
Burning forests to create wasteland.
Wenrensheng implemented the ancient military system.
In fact, it is very simple. Land is distributed to each household. Soldiers and farmers are integrated into one. They cultivate the land in peacetime, train during farm breaks, and join the army in wartime.
In fact, it was also the military household system of the Ming Dynasty.
This kind of system is destined to decay in less than 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 similar to the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
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 has been reversed due to the pressure of survival.
Military households were superior, exploiting and owning 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 was the fundamental economic reason why the Eight Banners was so united in the early days and so capable of fighting.
This is the result of the external transfer of economic contradictions.
The Eight Banners commanders 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.
