Chapter 664 The True Kingdom of Heaven

That's right, in the "Nanyang dream of getting rich" that countless people have preached, everyone seems to only see opportunities and a bright future, but many people don't know that in the earliest colonial activities, dangers were almost everywhere.

The endless journey, diseases, accidents and even the dangers encountered on the road will bring death to these adventurous people, and once these people fall on the road, they will also be doomed not to be known, but to become Later generations praised the background of this great era.

Old Walter has already left the tavern, he did not continue to persuade Shen Weijun, but left a sentence, that is, he will stay in the tavern for three days, if Shen Weijun does not make a decision within three days, then he will choose another people to complete this great voyage.

Shen Weijun looked at the beer mug in front of him, and he was really embarrassed. The reason is that he is actually facing a very difficult choice now - that is, the reason why he left the livestock farm in Chuzhou is entirely because This business has come to an end.

The Huangzhai Grassland left by the Privy Council will be reclaimed in the next year. The reason is not for other reasons, but mainly because a new cavalry unit will be added to the Nanjing garrison, plus the demand for horses from the Nanjing Imperial Palace The amount has increased so much that Huangzhai Grassland needs to be reopened.

Naturally, the Shen family, as a contractor, could not openly violate the will of the imperial court. Although Shen Weijun received a symbolic amount of compensation, the money was only enough to move his livestock farm to the northern prairie. However, if he went to the northern prairie Opening a pasture on the prairie, the original advantages will naturally be gone.

Although there are currently many rich people who started their businesses through the prairie, with hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep, making a lot of money, the problem is that the background of these people has a lot to do with the local Mongolians. There are even some old Mongolian princes acting as backgrounds in it, which is by no means a business that ordinary people can do.

Although the Shen family is not a small family, it is nothing compared to the upstarts in Dachu. Therefore, in a huge industry like animal husbandry, it is difficult for Shen Weijun to continue to do some things. If he is unwilling to cooperate, then in the end the result will only be swallowed up by others, and even the weakness of the Shen family will be exposed in the stock market.

Shen Weijun frowned and took a big sip of beer. He had no intention of cursing the court or the Privy Council, because cursing was meaningless. Since everything could not be changed, the best way was to go another way, and for him , which is not difficult at all.

However, for Shen Weijun, he was unwilling to continue to fight with those imperial courts and those big chambers of commerce in the interior. He decided to come to Nanyang, a place full of vitality and opportunities.

"Shen Fu, come here!"

Shen Weijun knocked lightly on the table, and soon a simple and honest young man walked over quickly, he bent down gently, waiting for Shen Weijun's order.

"Go and check old Walter, find out about his previous situation, and then come back and tell me right away."

Shen Weijun's eyebrows eased slightly, he picked up the beer on the table and drank it down, then put a silver dollar on the table, turned and left the tavern.

"Starting from Coconut City, you need to prepare at least four large ships, and you need to sail for at least a month before you can find that continent!"

In the end, Shen Weijun still believed in the old Walter, and the two reunited together, discussing some trivial matters before departure, and for the old Walter, he naturally had a well-thought-out plan.

Shen Weijun frowned and said, "It will take so long? Then, should we stop at Nanzhou Port for supplies?"

Nanzhou actually refers to the Papua New Guinea of ​​later generations. It is the southernmost island discovered by the Dachu colonial company. It has a very large area, so it is called Nanzhou.

However, almost all of Nanzhou is covered with mountains, and there is not much land that can be reclaimed and utilized. There are some Dutch people on it, and the others are local aborigines. They have not been developed on a large scale, and only the eastern coastal areas will have some land. towns, while the rest are in an almost primitive state.

Later, the Dachu Royal Exploration Company established a harbor in Nanzhou, which was called Nanzhou Port, and was called the southernmost port of Dachu. At a very unpopular stage, many exploration companies are unwilling to continue to spend a lot of money to explore south.

Of course, since the New World is too close to Nanzhou, even if Old Walter didn't find out, others would find out sooner or later, but at present he has seized an opportunity.

Old Walter smiled: "Many supplies in Nanzhou Port now need to be transferred from Nanyang. We may not be able to supply too many supplies with these four ships in the past, but we will definitely stop to replenish fresh water and find locals Inquire about the news of the New World, and it would be even better if you can find someone who is familiar with the local environment.”

Shen Weijun nodded silently. Since he had already decided to make such a deal, he no longer hesitated, and said: "I need you to make a list of the ships and supplies needed, and then I will find someone to buy them. But there is one thing, this news must be kept secret and must not be told to anyone.”

In the relevant exploration laws and regulations, it is not so simple to identify the person who has the right of discovery and limited colonial right. In addition to the detailed information of the place of discovery, a certain certification process is also required. If someone knows it first, then This matter will be delayed.

So far, there are still many people who are suing Nanzhou for the right of discovery and limited colonial rights. This matter is not so easy to solve, especially when a large chamber of commerce is involved. Just not enough to see.

"That's nature, it's about our future and destiny, isn't it?"

A smile appeared on Shen Weijun's face, "That's right, a bright future lies ahead!"

New World, here we come!

In August of the 15th year of innovation, the city gate of Hue City was opened wide, and a faint smoke filled the air. Soldiers of the Great Chu National Defense Army entered the city gate neatly with live ammunition, and their sharp bayonets glowed white under the sun.

On both sides of the street, a large number of people in the city have gathered at this time. Most of them are short and thin, and the clothes on their bodies are also very tattered. They are in stark contrast to the soldiers of the Great Chu National Defense Army with neat military uniforms. Looking at these soldiers with an extremely fearful look.

In the past few months, Annan's domestic army has launched three large-scale battles with the Chu army, and the results of these three battles have all suffered disastrous defeats, and then began to switch to small-scale harassment wars , Many Annan people launched an attack on the Chu army's logistics line.

However, it is precisely because of Ning Yu's previous instructions that this time the strength of Annan's expedition has doubled, and almost all of this doubling of strength has been used to maintain the logistics line. It also suffered a failure, and a large number of Annan people were nailed to death on the wooden stakes along the way, which looked very terrifying.

Now, with the capture of Hue by the Chu army, the Annan emperor Ruan Phucui chose to set himself on fire in the palace, and Mingdu king Zheng Gang led the remnant army to surrender to the Chu army's conquering governor Deng Ziyi, and Annan was completely destroyed.

At the same time, the original Annan State was directly established as the Jiaozhou area directly under the Chu State, and the Jiaozhou Dudu Mansion was established here, under the jurisdiction of Jiaozhou Mansion, Beijiang Mansion, Langjiang Mansion, Sanjiang Mansion, Jianping Mansion, Xin'an Mansion, Jian For Changfu, Fenghua, Thanh Hoa, Zhenman, Lang Son, Xinping, Yanzhou, Nghe An, Hue and other prefectures, Deng Ziyi directly served as the governor, in charge of everything in Jiaozhou The military and government affairs are powerful, and the most important thing is to undertake the task of screening the Chinese, and move the barbarians who do not obey the Great Chu to the Vietnamese Autonomous Province south of Cardamom Mountain.

The Vietnam Autonomous Province is also under the jurisdiction of Da Chu in name, but the officials who serve as the local third division of the Vietnam Autonomous Province are basically local indigenous representatives. This is also a concession made by Da Chu in order to stabilize Jiaozhou as soon as possible. The autonomous province of Vietnam frames those who are disaffected.

Of course, now that Hue has just been captured, the people in Annan are generally very dissatisfied with Dachu. They dare not show hatred, but this does not prevent them from quietly clenching their fists, bowing their heads in their hearts. swear.

Deng Ziyi is no stranger to this scene. During his previous military career, most of the local aborigines behaved like this, but as long as the rule of Great Chu deepens, most of them will give up this unrealistic attitude. With his obsession, he once again behaved honestly under the wings of Da Chu.

After all, the vast majority of people would not do the thing of hitting a rock with an egg. Without the possibility of successfully restoring the country, they can only choose to live.

"The Governor's Mansion has been established since today. As the Governor of Jiaozhou, the first thing the Governor has done since he took office is to quell the war and restore order. Only in this way can more people choose to cooperate with us instead of Useless confrontation."

Deng Zi also stood in the temporary mansion of the Jiaozhou Governor's Mansion, looked at the officers and other officials in front of him, and said, "You should all understand that the Jiaozhou Governor's Mansion is not a permanent institution, but a temporary one during wartime. After the migration work is completed, we will be done and we can transfer Jiaozhou to other people."

Everyone nodded silently. They didn't dare to have any outrageous thoughts. On the surface, Deng Ziyi was already a local official with military and political power, but in fact, for the current National Defense Forces, due to various restrictions, the generals above did not It is impossible to have the power to truly control the army.

That is to say, only after being appointed by the emperor can Deng Ziyi truly mobilize the army. If he wants to rebel or seek personal gain, the army will simply ignore him as the governor, and will only arrest him immediately. This is the current situation. The characteristics of the reorganization of the National Defense Forces have achieved a complete separation of the army and generals.

Naturally, Deng Ziyi would not have other ideas. He didn't like the humid and hot environment in Jiaozhou very much. On the contrary, he wanted to be transferred back to the northwest. That was the battlefield he dreamed of. I'm afraid he will have to stay in Jiaozhou for at least three years.

"By the way, His Majesty has a decree. In the future, some people in the country will go to Jiaozhou to emigrate. This is something we need to do well. However, it should be noted that we don't care what happens to the immigrants on the way, but we must ensure that they are safe when they come. For their safety, if there is a large-scale attack and casualties, the governor cannot bear this responsibility, and you can't bear it even more."

Deng Ziyi's expression was a little cold, and he said softly: "Of course, there are only those who are thieves for a thousand days, and there are no ones who can guard against thieves for a thousand days. You must do a good job of distinguishing them actively!"

With the issuance of this order, the screening and relocation work in Annan has been carried out logically. The Jiaozhou Governor's Mansion has specially posted a notice to let all the Chinese people who are willing to submit to the Great Chu complete the identity verification within a time limit. Those who refuse to be screened will be deported to the Autonomous Province of Vietnam.

Under the order, the [-] troops were divided into hundreds of work teams and went deep into the main population areas in Annan, cleaning up these people bit by bit. At the same time, a large number of battles broke out. The people in Annan who were screened all took up weapons and started fighting, and bloody scenes followed.

In order to better complete the relocation work, Deng Ziyi quickly submitted a memorial to the imperial court, expressing the hope that he could support more servants to do this, and Emperor Ning naturally agreed, and soon there were still people from North Korea. Each of Japan has a group of troops set out on sea ships, and more than 10 people will come to complete the work.

The related reward is that after the screening work is completed in the future, they can all become official citizens of Dachu, and they will also be allocated [-] acres of land, which is naturally a gift for these servants from Japan and North Korea. The great news, after all, instead of surviving cruelly under the exploitation of those two groups of nobles or the wealthy Wu family, it is better to come here to get a piece of land, and in the future, you can have the opportunity to return to China to marry a wife and have children, and bring your wife here.

"If you want to become a noble citizen of Great Chu, you need to take up your guns and serve Great Chu!"

Under the pressure of survival, more and more Japanese and North Korean men choose to keep this sentence firmly in their hearts, and then board the sea ship to Jiaozhou. They will complete the relevant militarization training by then, and also I will be further educated in this process until I become a qualified 'cannon fodder'!
For this point, those old servants who have already become Dachu people will act as instructors, and they will use precepts and deeds to teach these immature recruits a truth-following Dachu, there is meat to eat. Continuing to stay in the country will only lead to death!

Of course, these instructors will naturally not tell the servants another reason, that is, as the servants of Dachu, they do the most dangerous things, and the death rate is often dozens of times higher than that of the Dachu National Defense Army. Know how many people have died on this road.

They would just kneel in front of the portrait of Emperor Ning and praise him loudly in an almost pious tone.

"This is the kingdom of the heavens! This is the kingly paradise that everyone yearns for!"
