Chapter 326 When the facts are regarded as rumors!
The British fleet, which knows nothing about the hus of Liang Pengfei and other Western countries, is slowly rushing to Manila, and Liang Pengfei has begun to prepare for war. During this period, a lot of land has been lost every month from Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang, and even Jiangsu and Shandong. Under the secret institation and inducement of some people, the people left their hometown by boat and went south.
First, I arrived at Yonaguo Island, which has now become an important base for Liang Pengfei. After completing the supply and maintenance of Yonaguo Island, I drove straight south to the islands under development in the South China Sea.
And every exile will get 100 mu of land on the southern islands. Whether you want to farm or engage in planting, there will be professionals to guide you and provide free agricultural tools. The tax-free period is as long as five years. If it is newly reclaimed land, the tax-free period is as high as 20 years.
In addition, the exiles will live together and form a new village-style production method, which is named a rural cooperative by Liang Pengfei, a shameless traveler. In the case of unified deployment of labor, they can make great use of limited labor to develop more land.
And the Chinese slaves who were liberated and free under Liang Pengfei and the Chinese Federal Army regained their free life. They would produce and live together with other Chinese people, and every living Chinese slave received a large amount of compensation from the slave owners.
In the face of strong strength, those European slave owners have only two choices, either to take up arms for unnecessary resistance, or to release all the Chinese slaves in their plantations and give material compensation.
However, Liang Pengfei did not completely eliminate slaves on the Nanyang Islands out of political considerations, because those European manor owners are now creating wealth for him, and without these suitable labors, many manors will be abandoned, and these European manor owners are not all Many of those guys who eat people and don't spit bones are because of the excessive exploitation of the Dutch East India Company, which makes them have to work hard to compress their production costs, which makes the life of slaves difficult. What Liang Pengfei needs is long-term development, not plundering like killing chickens and getting eggs. So those indigenous slaves were also treated slightly better than before.
Of course, there are also some stubborn manor owners who are full of hatred for the rule of Liang Pengfei and the Chinese Federation in the Southern Ocean. Naturally, Liang Pengfei does not mind burying these people under the soil of the manor as high-quality fertilizer.
--------------------
Although many Europeans have left Liang Pengfei's ruling area, there are also many people who have stayed. In Liang Pengfei's ruling area, there are about 70,000 civilians and gold diggers from Western countries. Among these people with a skill, they will often be hired by the Chinese Federation with a high salary and work hard to serve China. Summer Federation.
Even those who have no skills left, as long as they are willing to become mercenaries, or obtain land like the Chinese people, and create tomorrow with their own hands.
As for the indigenous tribes on the islands, after feeling the different and more moderate way of rule between the Chinese and the Westerners, they also began to walk out of the primitive jungle, accept the repeated edification of Chinese culture, accept Confucian culture, and study hard. A civilized person.
They have obtained a lot of job opportunities in exchange for enough food and necessities for life, such as mining, such as building roads. Liang Pengfei does not need them to engage in the planting industry. He only needs these indigenous people to engage in Nanyang development work that will last for decades or even hundreds of years. With roads, Chinese people can be here. Some islands have built one town after another, closely connecting them, and can concentrate their troops in the shortest time and rush to any place to calm all unnecessary resistance and chaos.
And the indigenous people on Java and some other Nanyang Islands who were hostile to the Chinese were greeted by a more cruel battle than the Dutch. These Nanyang natives, who were originally afraid of death, wisely chose to surrender in the face of powerful force.
Most of them were relocated from the island where they lived and transported by transport ships to strange islands, such as Australia, where they worked hard and either built castles or fortresses under the supervision of those armed men, or built roads or drove. Mine. Moreover, as the Chinese Federation expedition fleet moves southeast, every time it goes to a place suitable for the construction of a port, thousands or tens of thousands of indigenous people will be pulled in to build one subsidiary ports and fortresses for the Chinese Federation in the coastal areas of Australia, so that Liang Pengfei can implement the strategy of emigrating south.
However, the exiles who went south of Guangxi entered Annan directly under the escort of Annan's army. Whether it was the border guards of Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang and other places, or sailors, they had long ignored this matter under the offensive of money.
Moreover, if those exiles who have lost their land exile or stay in the local area, they will also cause public security chaos and even become one of the root causes of Xiangma Mountain thieves. Therefore, the local officials have also adopted a silent attitude towards this. As long as it is not too much, as for those gentry, they will either sing all day long, or Just show their extraordinary talent and romanticism in the restaurant. There is no time to care about the hardships of people's livelihood. Unless they become officials, they occasionally hum a few words when they talk about the scene to show how much they love their profession and the people under their rule, that's all.
But now, Liang Pengfei has issued a new order to lead the southern drifters to Annan first. After all, now the British have carried guns, pushed cannons, and driven warships to kill. He does not want his compatriots to lose their lives for the sake of new life hope.
Anyway, Annan is in Liang Pengfei's hands. Besides, increasing the proportion of Han people in Annan is something that Liang Pengfei is happy to see. Anyway, there are many Chinese people. You know, Liang Pengfei just learned the news from the Di newspaper a few days ago. Now, there are more than 37,276,700 people in the world, which is just an official figure.
Therefore, Liang Pengfei is very ambitious. The Chinese nation has far surpassed those Western countries by relying on the number of population alone, and Nanyang happens to be a territory that is easy to digest the population. More than 300 million people, even if one-tenth of the population is scattered, it is still more than 30 million people. In this era, this The population has surpassed that of France, the most powerful and most populous country in Europe.
But now, it's only in the early stage of immigration, and the number of immigrants every month is not much, more than 20,000, and less than 10,000, but Liang Pengfei is not worried, because it won't be long before one will spread all over the six provinces of Hubei, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Henan, Gansu and Hunan. A total of 284 unprecedented-scale uprisings involving prefectures, prefectures, counties, departments, and guards will be launched vigorously.
--------------------
In order to pace this uprising, the rulers of the Qing Dynasty recruited troops from 16 provinces across the country, costing 20,000 taels of silver, which was equivalent to the five-year fiscal revenue of the Qing Dynasty at that time. Moreover, the uprising also greatly weakened the strength of the Qing army, causing the Qing army to lose more than 20 senior generals of the first and second grades. There are more than 400 officers below the general.
This great uprising, which lasted for nine years and four months, has become an important pause in the decline of the Qing Dynasty, and the arrival of Liang Pengfei will make this historical trend full of countless variables.
At that time, Liang Pengfei believed that there would be more, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people fleeing from their homes. At that time, Liang Pengfei believed that Nanyang was not a dream, but a realistic prospect to become the back garden of the Chinese nation.
Now, Liang Pengfei began to consciously spread the news that the British were going to attack the mainland. Of course, with those seamen as the main body, they spread rumors in Guangdong, Guangdong, Zhejiang and even Shandong and Zhili, saying that the British were very dissatisfied with the court's rejection of their request and decided to use force to force the North Korea. The court agreed to their request.
Of course, the senior management of the ruling class in the whole country is busy fighting for power and profit, and the middle and lower officials are busy scraping the ground. In the era of singing and dancing in unison, the rumor that the barbarians want to invade our brilliant dynasty will only become a trace of laughter for these officials and gentry after dinner.
Although these rumors are used as a laughing stock, the rumors are still scattered and continue. Some people feel curious. Are those British so stupid that they dare to do it?
Therefore, some people began to pick up the introduction of Western books and newspapers that they thought were heresy books again. Some people may have something to gain, but some people have nothing to do, just think that the West is bragging.
What's more, at a brothel party, a man also took out an article describing a Western first-class battleship in front of a literary giant who was writing down. Unexpectedly, he was laughed at by his erudite and omniscient scholars of astronomy and geography who read poems and books as strange novelists like the Classic of Mountains and Seas and the List of Gods.
Only a few people, such as Zhao Yi, who are wise people who know the strength of Western countries, have realized the serious surname of the problem, but there is nothing they can do. They can only show close attention and concern about the current rumors when communicating with their friends' letters. However, all they can do is only That's all.
