The room goes through the late Ming Dynasty, and the back door leads to North America at the beginni

The city of Geranje was the trading company and warehouse of the Dutch on Dongfan Island. Dutch merchant ships would use this place as a transit point when trading with Japan, North Korea, and China.

Therefore, after the Yi army captured the city of Relanja, they not only captured many people, but also seized a lot of goods, gold, silver, coins, etc.

The total estimated value of gold and silver alone is as high as 7.8 million silver dollars.

It should be noted that this is just a trading transit station for the Dutch in the East. There is so much cash, which shows that the Dutch have made huge profits from sea trade.

After putting down the telegram, Liu Sheng said: "The minister of military aircraft came to Tianxin Palace to discuss matters."

"Yes."

The guards in the palace left in response.

Not long after, Li Changwen and several other military ministers arrived at Tianxin Hall.

When Liu Sheng reported the victory, several people were naturally happy and read the telegram.

Later, Liu Sheng said: "In order to speed up the development of Dongfan Island, I decided to establish Dongfan Prefecture. In addition to Dayuan County, Penghu, Shuangxi, and Tamsui counties will be added."

"In addition, the five provinces of Hunan, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong are increasing their efforts to immigrate to Dongfan Island."

"Strive to increase the number of Han residents on Dongfan Island to more than 200,000 within five years."

Several ministers of military discipline listened and discussed a few words with each other. ,

Then Li Changwen said: "There are many natives on Dongfan Island. How should we arrange them?"

Liu Shengdao: "The natives of Dongfan Island are actually descendants of the Southern Barbarians, and they are divided into cooked and raw. The cooked and uncooked people live closer to the seaside, while the raw and uncooked people live mostly in deep mountains and old forests."

"In addition, there are cannibalistic potatoes among the raw potatoes, and there is a custom of headhunting in many raw potatoes."

"According to the intelligence obtained from Xunfengwei's preliminary investigation, there are hundreds of thousands of natives on Dongfan Island, which can be considered a major source of population."

"I believe that we should mainly intimidate and educate the familiar Tibetan people, so that they can settle down and become the people."

"If it is difficult to overwhelm the rebels, they will be divided into small groups to attack them and force them to submit."

"As for the cannibals, we can leave them to fend for themselves in the deep mountains and old forests. If they come out of the mountains to rob and kill people, we will destroy them."

Li Changwen, Zhu Dadian and others couldn't help but nod after hearing this.

China actually has rich experience in conquering and civilizing uncivilized ethnic groups, using both tough and gentle methods.

By the Ming and Qing dynasties, relevant policies had become quite flexible.

Liu Sheng's idea was to divide and rule the Tibetan people on Dongfan Island, and his method was relatively gentle.

After all, Dawei is not short of land now, but it is short of population. To govern foreign lands, the naturalized population should still be the main focus.

After agreeing on the establishment of the Dongbo Mansion, Li Changwen prepared to return to their respective "offices" - they were both leaders of the same department, and the specific matters they had to deal with every day were not much less than Liu Sheng's, but they did not have much time for chatting.

Unexpectedly, Liu Sheng mentioned another thing.

"In the battle to recruit senior officers and expel the Dutch, I originally thought there would be a battle with the Dutch fleet, but I didn't expect that they would avoid fighting when they saw our Dalai Navy. This made my idea of ​​training troops come to nothing."

"However, this also shows that with the current size of the ships of our Da'ei Navy, the Western Yi dare not underestimate us."

"Therefore, I decided to form a Nanyang Navy to develop Nanyang waterways, protect merchant travel, and prepare for the future development of waterways to the Americas and Africa."

After listening to Liu Sheng's words, several military ministers were silent for a moment.

They have all seen how expensive the Navy is in the past few years.

For example, the year before last, the reason why military expenditures reached 100 million yuan was mainly due to the establishment of the East China Sea and South China Sea Navy.

It has only been a few years since the East China Sea and Nanhai Navy were established, and Liu Sheng is about to establish the Nanyang Navy. In their view, they are somewhat anxious.

Li Banghua said: "Your Majesty, Li Shun in the northwest and Qinglu in the northeast have not yet been completely pacified. Is it too early to form a new navy to explore Southeast Asia?"

"It is estimated that tens of millions of dollars will be needed to establish a new navy based on the current standards of the two naval forces in the East China Sea and Nanhai Navy."

"If we include the cost of food, salary and other expenses for Navy officers in the next few years, it could be as high as hundreds of millions of dollars." "Although the national treasury has been filled a lot in the past two years, with such a sudden increase in expenditure, I am afraid that in a few years There will be a fiscal deficit again.”

After hearing this, Liu Sheng smiled and was about to speak out, but Ma Shimin spoke first to refute.

"Li Shilang's words are wrong. It takes several years for a navy to be established until it can be used. This can be seen from the Donghai Navy and Nanhai Navy."

"So, even if the Nanyang Navy starts to be established next year, it will be at least three to five years before it can be used."

"By that time, perhaps the Qing barbarians in the northeast and Li Shun in the northwest have already been pacified, and it will be the time for me to explore Southeast Asia."

"Besides, my annual income has increased significantly in the past few years. In a few years, my annual income may double. How can I not be able to support a Nanyang Navy?"

Li Banghua was speechless for a moment.

What Ma Shimin said was not unexpected to him, but he just wanted to make the government more stable out of habit.

However, it is true that he is older and his perception of the rapid changes in Dawei is not as sharp as that of Ma Shimin, a middle-aged man who has just turned 40.

After Li Changwen and Zhu Dadian pondered for a while, they also agreed to the establishment of the Nanyang Navy.

Then came the consideration of candidates for Nanyang Navy division and brigade general officers.

After some discussion, it was finally decided to transfer Huang Fei, the former deputy commander of the Donghai Navy, to the commander of the Nanyang Navy.

Shi Tianfu, former commander of the 1st Brigade of the Nanyang Navy, was transferred to deputy commander of the Nanyang Navy.

Mai Yongsheng, the former military and political officer of the Fifth Division of the Standing Army, was transferred to the division's military and political officer.

The three brigade commanders are Zhang Huai, Liu Wenxiu, and Zhang Mingzhen.

Zhang Huai came from the Wei tribe and previously served as the commander of the Third Brigade of the Nanhai Navy.

Liu Wenxiu previously served as deputy brigade commander in the Yellow River Navy.

Zhang Mingzhen previously served as deputy brigade commander in the 1st Donghai Marine Brigade.

As for the candidates for the Nanyang Navy’s deputy brigade commander, brigade political officer, and staff officers, I will not go into details one by one.

After "getting off work", Liu Sheng left Tianxin Palace and went to the palace where Xu Wan was in the harem.

After all, Xu Wan was affected by the affairs of the Xu family, and her health has not been good after childbirth, and she fell ill from time to time.

I've been sick again these past two days, so Liu Sheng will go take a look when he has time.

Although his relationship with Xu Wan was not as deep as his relationship with the Red Lady, it was not without emotion, and he could not be as ruthless to his concubines as a real feudal emperor.

After arriving, Liu Sheng saw Xu Wan walking in the yard and said, "It's cold. You are not in good health. Be careful of catching the wind and cold."

Xu Wan smiled slightly and said: "Nothing, I feel much better in the past two days."

"You still need to pay more attention to your health."

"Ah."

"Where's Wuji?"

Wuji was born to Xu Wan in June this year. He was her second child and the sixth son of the emperor. His nickname was Wuji, and his real name was Liu Wei.

Affected by Xu Wan's bad mood and physical condition during pregnancy, Liu Sheng's sixth son was obviously physically weaker than the previous ones.

This is one of the reasons why Liu Sheng often comes to Xu Wan's place recently.

"The wet nurse is taking care of it."

"Let's go see our son together."

Liu Sheng took Xu Wan's hand and entered the palace together.

Liu Wei is only four months old. Although he is carefully cared for, he still looks weak. (End of chapter)
