The fifth year of Gansheng, 1650 AD, October.

In Shanghai Port, an immigrant fleet carrying thousands of immigrants heading to the sea. They will reproduce and thrive in various places overseas...

At the same time, King Ping Zhu Cilang also embarked on the journey to Pingguo.

Pingguo also has a fleet, and it also carries Pingguo's four-claw dragon flag. Pingguo's thirty-six ships are all old ships. Since the old merchant ships also have second-hand warships eliminated by the navy. Even the cannons on the ships were eliminated by the navy.

Although it is an old ship, it is equipped with hundreds of short-barrel carrots such as "Zhenhai Cannons" such as small and small. Although it is being eliminated by the Navy, it is still a powerful weapon overseas.

The biggest advantage of these second-hand goods is that they are cheap. For Zhu Cilang, who only has 500,000 taels of goods, it is undoubtedly the best choice.

In fact, even if it was the 500,000 taels, it was also given to him by Zhu Guoqiang. In addition to the court giving him a "family settlement fee" according to the custom, Zhu Guoqiang also took 300,000 taels from the inner palace. He even personally served as a matchmaker and asked him to marry the daughter of Zheng Yuanxun, a great salt merchant in Yangzhou, as his concubine.

Why do people have money to be this media?

With the support of the princess's family, Pingguo's fleet grew rapidly.

The admiral of the fleet was Cao Anguo. He was a Jinshi from Wu. He has been serving in the navy for the past few years. After learning that King Ping was founded, he resigned from his military post to repay the grace of the late emperor.

In fact, among the civil and military officers in Pingguo, there are quite a few such people. Although King Ping is just a king, with the mercy of the late emperor, there are indeed many people following him. Some of them don’t even want official positions, regardless of Pingguo’s ten thousand miles overseas. Anyway, they only have one thought in their hearts to repay the kindness of the late emperor.

In addition to scholars, there are even many ordinary people who have given up their families and have followed King Ping overseas. They are not unable to stay in China, but for the sake of the loyalty in their hearts. In the minds of some people, King Ping is their king.

There are not many such people, nor are there many. At least tens of thousands, and there are hundreds of thousands. No one knows, but for Pingguo, who just founded the country, the number of "national people" is indeed far more than any other country.

Even the soldiers of Pingguo were many "righteous men" who were not paid. It has to be said that sometimes, dead people still have a lot of appeal.

Shanghai Port.

Cao Anguo bowed and said with politeness.

"See the king!"

"Your dear is not a gift."

Zhu Cilang said:

"Go on the boat to speak."

The river was moored with ships to Pingguo, and the ships were loaded with officials and civilians from all over the country. They were about to set off for Pingguo. Now, they are no longer from Ming, but from Pingguo.

Looking at the fleet on the river, Zhu Cixuan asked:

"Can the official and civilians on the ship be properly placed?"

Cao Anguo quickly replied:

"Return to the king's words, the ship's Guanmin has been placed and can set off for the new city at any time. In addition, the royal army accompanied by 3,000 infantrymen, all of whom were young and strong. They have been trained in the Huaibei Military Palace for more than a year, all equipped with rifled rifles and twenty-eight new artillery."

"Huaibei Military Mansion" is a place that specializes in training new recruits. Now there is only one type of recruit in the Ming Dynasty, which is the disciples of military households who inherit their father's business. Others can join the army. One is the guards who go overseas. The guard station is located overseas, and the other is the prince's personal guard.

Even if these two types of soldiers are quotas, there are only a few thousand people every year. It can be said that unless it is a hereditary military household, it is not your turn to eat military rations. Not only do you have to be a good family for generations, but you also have to have three hundred households as a guarantee, and the recommended master of a thousand households can only become a soldier. Because of this, the second son who can become a soldier is still the second son who does not have the right to inherit the right of the military household.

Ordinary people... it's not even a few lifetimes.

In the Ming Dynasty, being a soldier was a privilege!

However, the Prince's Mansion Guard did not have these restrictions, but they were carefully selected young and strong. After all, in the Ming Dynasty, there were only hundreds of thousands of people who wanted to be a military household without millions.

Why?

Good treatment!

"Your Majesty, the court is in Xincheng, and there are three hundred guards. In short, we are also strong!"

The so-called "new city" is the Ainan in the middle of India, which is adjacent to the Bay of Bengal. Of course, Ainan in this era cannot be a colonial city full of French style.

But it must be a city full of the charm of the Ming Dynasty, and the only thing that remains unchanged is the identity of the colony.

At this time, although the South Asian subcontinent had a population of more than 100 million, there were a large area of ​​primitive and unparalleled lands around the "New City" within a radius of hundreds of miles, and only a few natives lived here.

As early as the third year of Qiansheng, the pedestrians Hu Tianqiu signed a friendly trade treaty with the countries of Tianzhu, and set up fifty-two trading posts along the Indian Peninsula. As the Ming caravan entered India, the fleet began to continuously immigrate to these trading posts.

There are not many immigrants. Each trading station immigrates about a thousand people every year. In the past two years, nearly 100,000 have been immigrated. These immigrants have been in good communication with local natives, and there are no land conflicts or belief disputes. The Han people also teach natives advanced farming techniques, and children who have early intermarriage can be born.

Just at the end of last year, there was a severe drought in the south of the Yangtze River. The imperial court recruited 10,000 young refugees at one time, and 5,000 of them were placed in Xincheng.

In fact, this is to prepare for King Feng Ping.

In short, even if the Pingguo is established overseas, there are nearly 10,000 people in the country, and even thousands of "savages".

Looking at the map of the new city, Zhu Cixuan asked:

"When we get to the place, we will hit Gorkonda directly?"

Cao Anguo shook his head and said:

"If you fight, you must fight Gorconda, otherwise how can you expand your territory in Pingguo? However, we rely on the treaty to stand there. There are fifty or sixty trading stations in the imperial court. If you fight, you must first find an excuse and then fight with them. Today is Gorconda, and in the future we will be Pingguo."

Zhu Cilang scratched his head and said:

"Admiral Cao, how do you find excuses for this war? I'm confused."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, when we get there, there will naturally be excuses to come."

Even if you just don’t come to the door, won’t you “create”?

On that day, more than 30 warships and merchant ships sailed out of the Yangtze River estuary. Just as the Zhou emperor's feudal princes led the guards, relatives, and people on a carriage to the fiefdom full of barbarians, the Pingguo fleet sailed.

When I went to sea for the first time, I had to be seasick. After a few days of dissipation, the king of Pingguo Zhu Cilang, his princess, soldiers, and Chinese people finally adapted to the sailing at sea.

Along the way, King Ping Zhu Cilang was familiar with the knowledge related to India, from caste to religion, race to civilization, and then to military. As for majors such as navigation, they would definitely not be able to learn it in a while, and Zhu Cilang, as the monarch, did not need to learn it.

Along the way, all Zhu Cilang needed to do was to understand India. When he arrived at the new city on the Bay of Bengal, it was already the sixth day of November.

This day has since become the "founding day" of Pingguo.

Even if the emperor had a feudal "Pingguo" day was six months ago, the day they arrived still meant the "founding day" of Pingguo and became a celebration of the dynasty.

After the monarch and ministers arrived in the new city, they were resting and adapting to the local climate, and they also had to reward the subjects and people. In addition to the distribution of the most 4,500 mu of land according to official positions and as little as 500 mu of land, each soldier obtained 400 mu of land, and immigrants also received 50 mu of land.

The new city is located on the delta, and the land is extremely fertile. In such a large delta, not to mention only tens of thousands of immigrants, even if there are more than 100,000 people, each of them can be assigned to a large area of ​​land.

It doesn’t matter if one person has to race.

There are a large number of slaves in Mughal in the north or in Gorconda. Those slaves are very cheap. It is normal to exchange for a piece of cotton cloth to drive the slaves to farm. For these cheap slaves, the king and his ministers will still use them with peace of mind. After all, this is a kind of adaptation to local customs.

It doesn’t matter if you can’t afford it. The king can lend you a loan.
