The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 858 Rubber Plantation

It is Huang Han's wish to expand the border and land. Of course, he will not pour cold water on everyone, and he replied in the affirmative:

"Recovering Cochin and Champa is a must. If conditions permit, taking the entire Indochina Peninsula can also be considered, but not now. Now we need a territory to plant rubber trees on a large scale."

Zhang Fengyi said: "Understood, I believe that it is necessary to send troops to Qiongzhou Prefecture, Hainan Island to establish a rubber plantation. After two years of operation there, it can become the starting point for launching an attack to recover Jiaozhi."

Chen Qiyu agreed: "Of course, it is very good to run Qiongzhou Prefecture and use our navy's superiority to project troops. How can little Annan be able to defend it? It is a matter of course for our army to recover Jiaozhi Province."

Sun Chuanting likes to look at maps, sand tables, and study military affairs the most. The walls of his apartment are covered with maps from all over the world.

The accuracy rate of the world map of the "Red Banner Army" system has exceeded [-]%. The Hou Le Dynasty of Dai Viet State and the Nguyen regime of Quang Nam State are all marked on the map.

He said: "My 'Red Banner Army' is well-equipped, and the overall quality of the soldiers is far stronger than that of the Ming army in Chengzu's time. The firepower and speed of the warships, including the total number of ships, are also much greater than when the Sanbao eunuch went to the West.

Based on Qiongzhou Prefecture, it is targeted to point at Annan and Champa. During this period, a large amount of intelligence can be collected, and spies can even be used to infiltrate the coastal and riverside towns of Dayue State.

The official believes that as long as the deployment is appropriate, the attack can be achieved accurately, and the lost ground can be regained in just a few battles in a year. "

Huang Han knew that the key to pacifying the Dai Viet Kingdom was to complete the division and siege on the plains, forming an encirclement and annihilation, killing and injuring a large number of officials and troops of the Dai Viet Dynasty, so as to minimize the enemy's regular troops rushing into the mountains to fight guerrillas.

Otherwise, playing hide-and-seek in the tropical jungle will consume too many troops, waste too much time, and form a protracted tug-of-war.

Huang Han never underestimated the Da Viet guerrillas. These people were like monkeys in the tropical jungle. They could survive by eating bugs and wild fruits without food.

The meaning of Sun Chuanting's emphasis on the accuracy of the attack is nothing more than making full use of the sea maneuvering power of the Navy and Marine Corps, and adopting a sudden attack to cut off the retreat of the Dai Viet army.

At this time, there is no need to discuss too much tactics against Dai Viet, but to consider the transplantation of rubber trees and the cultivation of rubber tree seeds.

Huang Han said: "Master Zhang, Lord Chen, and Lord Sun have the same thoughts as this king, let's discuss now, how can we make the Qiongzhou government like a finger?

Planting rubber trees cannot be done overnight, and it takes seven or eight years to obtain output. During this period, only a small number of successfully transplanted mature trees can provide a small amount of rubber.

The investment period is so long, if there is any change during the period, all the investment may be in vain. "

Wu Xiang understood, and said: "Your Majesty, the Qiongzhou Mansion is poor and white, and it is useless to Ming Dynasty. The officials think that they can negotiate with the imperial court, and the 'Red Banner Army' will take over Hainan Island and implement military control.

If the court refuses to be accommodating, it doesn't hurt. The sky is high there and the emperor is far away. My Longwu navy can directly log in to the enclosure. The officials guessed that the local guards learned that the "Red Banner Army" came to guard and took the initiative to seek refuge everywhere. There should be no generals who dare to obstruct the military confrontation. "

Liang Tingdong said: "I believe that negotiations are completely feasible. The imperial court has always been eager for the 'Red Banner Army' to send troops to fight against the bandits. I am willing to go to Beijing to face the emperor and propose an exchange.

It is stated that the "Red Banner Army" needs to invest a lot of money and food in planting rubber trees in Hainan Island. In order to ensure that the investment can be returned, it is necessary to garrison and manage Qiongzhou Prefecture. "

Seeing that even Liang Tingdong understood the return on investment, Huang Han had an idea and said: "Once the rubber plantation has an output, it is not a lie. This king has a suggestion to adopt a joint-stock model to manage the rubber industry.

Everyone can subscribe for shares. We not only absorb the capital in the "Red Flag Army" system, but also vigorously promote it in the capital to guide the capital investment of Ming dignitaries.

In line with the basic principle that whoever invests will benefit, not only rubber plantations will operate like this in the future, but also steel factories, vehicle factories, shipyards, cement factories, etc. can adopt a joint-stock cooperative system. "

Han Zi was the most active in supporting Fa Xiao. He was the first to say, "Brother Han, I believe what you say. My family has a lot of spare money over the years, and I will use all of it to invest in rubber plantations."

Hanzi is not only Huang Han's younger brother, Huang Yizhou's adoptive son, but also Huang Han's brother-in-law. He has made outstanding achievements in recent years.

Of course, the income is the highest among the generals of the "Red Banner Army". Due to the missions every year, the basic salary exceeds 2000% of the regular first-rank treatment, and there is also a lot of military merit rewards. The annual income will not be less than [-] yuan in silver coins.

Because he accepted Huang Han's new ideological education, like the Huang family, his wives, concubines, and maids all served as management in good units such as Sifang Bank, Hongqi Daliang, etc., and he received a lot of treatment, which was more than enough for family expenses.

Hanzi now has a wife, three concubines, four sons, and three daughters, and a large family of dozens of people. He has a fixed high income every month, and his life is prosperous.

The generals of the "Red Banner Army" are completely different from the generals of the Ming Dynasty. Because the land policy does not allow it, they cannot buy a large amount of fertile land to become big landlords.

The silver coins they save can only be saved regularly to get [-]% annual interest, or to invest in the industry.

And the generals who concentrate on fighting often don't know much about industrial investment. Most of them choose to deposit their money in the Sifang Bank to earn interest. At this time, Hanzi heard that he was mobilizing everyone to invest in rubber plantations. He didn't care whether he made money or not, and immediately expressed his opinion Full support.

Huang Han nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't let your investment go to waste. I guarantee that your investment will get a satisfactory return."

Hanzi said indifferently: "It doesn't matter whether you make money or not, as long as the money can help you!"

Huang Han approached Hanzi and patted his thick shoulder, and said, "When did your brother Han ever do a loss-making business? Follow me to invest, whether you make a profit or not, it will benefit the country and the people."

This is not something Huang Han took for granted. The rubber industry has continued to prosper until later generations. There are countless capitalists and farmers who invested in rubber plantations in Southeast Asia in the early days and made a fortune.

Since rubber trees need to be planted for seven or eight years before they can produce rubber, the investment cycle is long, and it is great to be able to raise private capital through a joint-stock system.

Huang Han is omnipotent in the hearts of the generals of the "Red Banner Army". At this time, they all expressed their willingness to participate in the investment, even Liang Tingdong, Zhang Fengyi and others were very active.

Only with high profits can we attract huge investment, which will make the following funds flow in an endless stream.

Of course, the first rubber products to be put on the market will have huge profits, and everyone who is the first to participate in the investment will get huge benefits.
