The biggest problem in bringing Wanwan back is the resettlement of the islanders.
The Central Plains Dynasty has never paid much attention to Wanwan. As long as no one can stand on their own, they will let them play their own house on the island.
After so many years, there are at least a dozen ethnic minorities on the island, and there are probably four to five million mountain people.
There are also many people who have fled Fuzhou, Quanzhou, Zhangzhou and other places due to wars in recent years.
These people have now become the natives of Wanwan. The imperial court has recalled them, but with little effect.
If we want to take direct control of the Bay Area, these people may also become obstacles.
"Your Majesty, I think these things are not big things. We already have the most important condition for Liuqiu, and that is a strong army."
"Those islanders can't even defeat the Japanese pirates. As long as we eliminate the Japanese, they will have to obey our arrangements."
The old master spoke first.
Yu Ming shook his head and retorted: "Old Taishi. The reason why the indigenous people could not defeat the Japanese pirates before was because they were not good at water warfare. And the Japanese pirates did not log into Liuqiu because of this, which shows that the Japanese pirates may not be Liuqiu natives on land.
opponent."
"In my opinion, in addition to destroying the Japanese pirates, these indigenous people may also have to fight a few times."
"Of course, the prince's intention is to save his life as much as possible. After all, he is a labor force. So I think we still need to pick a few key points and strike resolutely to warn the indigenous islanders!"
Yu Ming's words are not unreasonable. If the Wanwan natives did not have any fighting ability, the Japanese pirates would have taken over that place long ago.
Occupying a bay, it is no better than an island island.
"Your Majesty, it stands to reason that among the islanders, there are also many immigrants from the Central Plains. These people may not be incapable of teaching, so what I want to do is to win over these immigrants first. When the situation becomes more stable, we will then stabilize the power on the island.
Later, we will consider dealing with those mountain natives."
This is Wei Nan's suggestion, which is relatively moderate.
In the end, everyone expressed their opinions, and the basic opinions were very different from those of the three.
The more radical approach is as Yu Ming said, directly eliminating any resistance.
Those who are more conservative, like what the old teacher said, are optimistic that they will not encounter any resistance.
The moderate ones follow what Wei Nan said: first win over the immigrants from the Central Plains, and then deal with the natives in the mountains.
After listening to everyone's words, Song Yang fell into sinking.
No one spoke, waiting for him to think.
Song Yang made a comprehensive analysis of the current situation while flipping through the encyclopedia.
First of all, the Japanese pirates occupied the Penghu Islands, which was the first pass to regain the bay.
Eliminating Japanese pirates not only clears obstacles, but also shocks the people on the island.
At that time, it may appear that the islanders were frightened by the powerful force and did not dare to rebel again, as the old master said.
There may also be situations where Yu Ming said that the islanders are stubborn and refuse to unify.
As Wei Nan said, although the method of attracting immigrants is relatively safe, it cannot demonstrate the strength of Daqian.
To accept Liuqiu from a foreign land, you actually have to rely on local power?
"The Daqian must be unified! This is a major trend! Any person or force that blocks the unification of the Daqian must be directly eliminated!"
"Those who strive to be the lackeys of the Japanese pirates and seek independence in their hearts, don't give them a chance! Eliminate them directly!"
Song Yang slapped the table and said with a serious expression.
He felt that Yu Ming's method should be adopted to cut through the mess quickly and use force to eliminate all obstacles.
"Of course, we can also give some preferential treatment to those who are committed to the motherland. For example, priority in applying for household registration certificates, or tax exemption policies within a certain period of time. I will think about these policies and come up with plans as soon as possible."
"There are some reasonable mountain people who can be given the position of chieftain. As for those die-hards, they usually live in the mountains, and we may not necessarily have intersection with them in the plains for the time being. Indeed, we can think of what Wei Nan said , this kind of savage should be suppressed temporarily and dealt with later."
"Overall policy, Wutong Bay... Liuqiu!"
"That's right! From today on! In order to avoid confusion between Liuqiu and Ryukyu, Liuqiu will be changed to Wanwan!"
Song Yang added one last thing, which was to change his name.
No matter what I do, I don’t know what Wanwan means, but it’s all a trivial matter, and whatever Song Yang says is up to him.
As for the affairs of Wutong Bay, General Ma Cheng was responsible for the specific combat training.
His suggestion just now was the same as Yu Ming's.
Because he controlled a powerful navy, Ma Cheng wished he could conquer the entire Pacific Ocean.
According to the latest statistics, Daqian now controls more than 500 warships.
This number simply refers to warships, not including merchant ships or auxiliary ships such as tankers.
Most of the more than 500 warships were the ships of Daqian back then. After Song Yang unified most of the Daqian area, many warships were turned out in the shipyards and docks of various places.
This greatly improved the strength of Daqian Navy.
Among them, there are about 300 ships in the four major camps of the Japanese state, and the remaining 200 ships are all in the docks from Jiangning to Jiangyin.
In the past two years, shipbuilding has been booming in various parts of the Yangtze River. Almost every shipyard can produce one medium-sized warship or three or four small warships every year.
The long-established Jiangning Shipyard can even build one large ship or two or three medium-sized ships every year.
More than 30 shipyards across the Yangtze River have been reopened or built.
There are forty or fifty warships, large and small, launched into the water every year.
Although it was necessary to reserve a large amount of naval power to defend against the Japanese attack.
But for the conquest of Liuqiu, there are still 200 warships that can be mobilized, and at least 500 other auxiliary ships!
Such a huge scale is enough to overwhelm the Penghu Islands Water Village, the home base of the Japanese pirate Xiaoquan family.
According to the information obtained on the third day, the main fleet of the Xiaogu family only has fifty or sixty warships, and they are basically small boats.
There are no more than 200 other miscellaneous transport ships put together.
Although these forces are considered the strongest pirates in the waters of Daqian and Japan, they are just pirates.
It's still not enough to see in front of the regular naval forces of Daqian.
The policy of military reunification was finalized, and Daqian's war machine began to activate again.
However, this time the expedition to the Wanwan Islands did not have any impact on Jiangzhou's industry.
After all, a large amount of weapons and ammunition have been accumulated in previous wars.
The main purpose of the Wanwan Conquest is to clear inventory.
Even when dealing with Japanese pirates later, basically just inventory is enough.
In recent years, there have been too many weapons and ammunition produced by the mechanical assembly line at full capacity!
After the Spring Festival, after working overtime and working hard, the shipyard's new warship was finally launched.
It is also matched with the most advanced and most powerful steam turbine.
After the sea trial, all indicators were completely normal.
The third day after the sea trial.
Song Yang named this ship the battleship Wan Wan, and it will become the main flagship to regain Wan Wan!
