Late Ming Dynasty: Infinite Violent Soldiers

　　What he wants is fast, efficient, quick results in a short period of time, and the resources he has obtained are still a lot! Otherwise, he might as well attack Daming directly and expand his territory.

　　Fortunately, he has this kind of strength and this kind of capital, so he can do it! Colonization requires a large-scale operation, and the resources looted from overseas also require a large amount of resources, which cannot be transported by many merchant ships! Only in this way can the development of the territory be accelerated, and the strength of the territory can take off quickly! More importantly, the resources of the overseas colonies can be used to supplement the consumption in the territory.

　　This kind of consumption is not only the reserve resources used for fighting! In fact, the resources consumed by fighting do not account for the majority.

　　The real big consumer of resources is occupied new sites, construction, and large-scale resource investment.

　　When no income has been obtained, the resources consumed are astronomical! If there are no colonies, Lin Feng can't guarantee that after three months, when he occupies the entire Shandong six prefectures, his resources will be able to support it! This is a A very real problem, with the resources of the two prefectures, raising the six prefectures, and having to invest on a large scale to digest it at the fastest speed, this is bound to be very difficult! For Lin Feng, every newly occupied land is very difficult. The land, that is all barren land, ah, everything has to start construction again! This is also an extremely important issue that the forces after industrialization need to face.

　　Only by being able to digest the territory can the strength rapidly expand.

　　If you can’t digest it, you can only eat and support yourself, and drag yourself to death! Feilu reminds you: three things to read, collect, recommend, and share

Chapter 4: The Territory Is Watching Up and Down (5/[-])

　　More importantly, in the territory occupied by the Ming Dynasty, Lin Feng could not use the colonial method to govern.

　　The development of the colony is very simple, that is plunder, crazy plunder, plunder of resources, wealth, population.

　　But the occupation of Daming's territory is an investment, and it is a large-scale investment. At most, he will kill those squires, wealthy businessmen and officials, and he can only kill the leaders, not their clansmen.

　　As long as he wants to rule the people on this land, he can't do anything that would easily exterminate the clan, but at most detain them and carry out labor reform.

　　Territories require management and constant investment, while colonies are frenzied plunder.

　　The two huge differences make it seem to be very developed and richer in resources, but it requires huge investment and not much gain.

　　The seemingly barren land, the colony, can obtain a lot of resources through plundering.

　　The cost of territorial expansion is too high, which is also the reason why Lin Feng cannot quickly expand his territory.

　　The military force under his command has enough strength to expand one province, or even three provinces! But the resources he reserves, the lord's mansion's treasury, cannot support him to digest a province! This is what Lin Feng is currently facing That's right, and it's the one that gives him a headache.

　　Fortunately, his vision is far-reaching, and his vision is high! Since the financial income and three-month income that the directly subordinate territory can obtain can be foreseen, and he knows that its income is not enough to digest the four places all at once.

　　Then he can mobilize a lot of resources to invest in the expansion of the colony.

　　For Lin Feng, expanding the colony is a short-term, quick-result investment! More importantly, he has the strength and the capital to carry out large-scale overseas colonization and expansion! With his order, Hundreds of thousand-ton warships, loaded with [-] peasants and a lot of supplies, headed straight for Jeju Island.

　　And this kind of support construction is only the first batch. As the colony gains a firm foothold and expands, more support will continue to flow out.

　　Such a large-scale operation naturally attracted the attention of everyone in Weihai Acropolis. The workers didn't think of anything, but the businessmen were looking at the target of this operation of the lord's mansion one by one.

　　The three major fleets of the navy were dispatched collectively a few days ago and headed overseas.

　　In just a few days, [-] peasants were dispatched to the sea. Seeing this, let the discerning person know that the target of this operation of the lord's mansion must be overseas.

　　And it must be overseas! "It must have occupied a large area of ​​land overseas, otherwise how could so many farmers be sent to sea"

　　"Yeah, a few days ago, the entire navy was dispatched, and all of them were full of combat supplies and went to sea. This must be to occupy overseas!"

　　"The lord's mansion will not send troops for no reason, it is worthy of attention!"

　　"Yes, if the lord's mansion really occupied a large area of ​​land, then the opportunity will come! New land, new territory, all kinds of waste are prosperous, ah!"

　　"Pay attention, pay attention!"

　　"If you want to make money now, you have to follow the lord's mansion. Our lord is looking too far!"

　　"Yeah, if I hadn't seen the development model of our Weihaiwei, even if I broke my head, I would never have imagined that our industrial and commercial nation could burst into such a powerful fighting force, and the potential is beyond imagination!"

　　"So, I

　　We moved our family to Weihaiwei, this is the right move! Weihaiwei is the paradise for our businessmen!"

　　"What kind of merchants, we are not merchants, we are entrepreneurs!! Haven't you heard that those who sell goods at low prices and resell goods at high prices are called merchants.

　　However, those who set up factories, produce various products and materials, and provide jobs are called entrepreneurs! I heard that this is the real business inheritance passed down by the ancestors during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period!"

　　"That is, in the past thousands of years, many profiteers have made the name of merchants stinky, and the inheritance of merchants is hidden. Now that entrepreneurs are rising, it is time to rectify the name of inheritance of merchants!"

　　"The business has such a glorious past!"

　　"Of course, the most successful one is Lu Buwei. By the way, have you heard of Lu Buwei?"

　　""

　　Hundreds of thousands of peasants went to sea, and hundreds of thousands of ton merchant ships sailed across the sea, causing many merchants in Weihaiwei to discuss and guess the destination of the lord's mansion.

　　Their eyes lit up, and what they paid attention to was that they were clearly aware that there was some kind of business opportunity that could make a lot of profits! There are so many businessmen gathered in Weihaiwei now, it seems that all the businessmen in Daming are here. Like Weihaiwei, the competition among merchants in Weihaiwei is extremely fierce.

　　For new business opportunities, new industries are also more concerned by businessmen.

　　Everyone knows that finding new business opportunities, and then developing it into an industry at the fastest speed, and eventually occupying the market of the entire industry, is a short-cut way to make a fortune.

　　With a large number of merchants gathering and more exchanges, the undisclosed rumors of many merchants began to spread widely.

　　As a result, many secrets have become public news, and even published in newspapers! Fierce competition has made businessmen's persistence in discovering new business opportunities to an extremely perverted level.

　　Weihaiwei's [-] peasants went out to sea, and the three major naval fleets secretly operated, which has attracted the hearts of all Weihaiwei merchants, waiting for new news to come.

　　Jeju Island.

　　Lingyun didn't know what happened in Weihaiwei. At this moment, he was in Jeju Island, personally supervising the expansion of the harbor and the construction of the naval base.

　　The most important thing for a naval base is to build a berth and a large dock that can accommodate large tonnage and a large number of warships.

　　In addition, it is necessary to build a permanent fort on the high ground, and put artillery into it for defense.

　　In the case of...the cement material, all these have become extremely simple. If it was before, it would be tiring to burn bricks, dig stones, and then transport them, and it would take a lot of time.

　　It will take at least half a year to build a complete naval base.

　　And now, it can be completed within a month at most! "Commander Ling, the supplies and personnel sent to me by the lord have arrived in Jeju Island! In addition, the lord has sent us [-] farmers and their needs at one time. materials"

　　The staff around him excitedly reported to Ling Yun, and said with emotion, "My lord is a big deal this time!"

　　"The master's handwriting has always been great!"

　　Ling Yun chuckled lightly, although Lin Feng was a little shocked this time, he sent [-] peasants to him in one go, but what made him feel more pressure was the pressure.

　　How stressful it is to lead a hundred thousand peasants to a barren land, to colonize!

Chapter 5 Arrive at Heilongjiang Estuary (5/[-])

　　Bringing so many people to colonize is no joke, especially overseas, there are too many accidents.

　　Such as encountering a violent storm at sea, or a plague outbreak after landing, or a food crisis, etc.

　　There are just too many factors that can destroy the entire colonial army! If it weren't for the Heilongjiang estuary, which is very close to Jeju Island, and with the speed of a thousand-ton merchant ship of Weihaiwei today, Lin Feng would never have done it. Dare to send [-] peasants to colonize in one breath, and there is still no basis, even a place where they have never landed.

　　As the general person in charge of this colonial operation, Ling Yun felt the incomparably heavy pressure on his shoulders, and his expression became extremely dignified, he was well aware of the importance of this colonial operation.

　　He also took out [-] peasants from Lin Feng and handed them over to him. He keenly felt the pressure on the reserve of strategic materials in the territory! Iron ore, grain, gunpowder, wood, coal, etc.

　　It's almost a total shortage! Of course, this does not mean that there is a shortage of materials for the tens of millions of people in the territory and the two prefectures.

　　But three months later, after occupying the entire territory of Shandong, facing the newly included four 44-prefecture sites in Shandong, the material shortage faced.

　　However, these materials are difficult to obtain in the territory, of course they can be purchased, but the cost is extremely high:.

　　This is also related to insufficient fiscal revenue to keep up with the budget.

　　For a while, Ling Yun thought about it a lot, and then definitely, out of the [-] farmers, [-] farmers were left on Jeju Island.

　　We will make every effort to reclaim wasteland, increase the area of ​​farmland, and solve the food problem in Jeju Island first.

　　Jeju Island is nearly [-] square kilometers. If all of them are large plains and all reclaimable land, three million mu of fertile land can be reclaimed.

　　Of course, this is impossible, and just the outer sandy beach occupies a lot of territory.

　　In addition, maintain a certain green area.

　　Lingyun finally decided to reclaim one million mu of fertile land, occupying one-third of the land area of ​​Jeju Island.

　　Jeju Island has an advantageous geographical location, and it is possible to use one-third of the land for reclaiming fertile land.

　　Of course, this is for farmers who are systematically produced.

　　Ordinary Chinese people can reclaim [-] mu of fertile land on Jeju Island. It is already very good! After all, agriculture also pays attention to technology! Reclaiming wasteland and turning wasteland into fertile land is also technical! As a simple example, most farmers in the north would not know how to reclaim terraced fields on the hillside.

　　Because most of the north is plains, it is not needed at all! Only the south has many mountains and waters, and there are almost no plains, so we can only ask for fields from the mountains and forests! There is no other way to be forced. Do your best to reclaim a piece of land on the mountain, and come out like a ladder-like farmland.

　　This also leads to the fact that in the same size area, the amount of farmland in the plain area is far less than that in the developed mountain forest area.

　　A hill, about a few hundred meters high, does not occupy a large area, but on it, a lot of farmland can be reclaimed, which is the same as building a high-rise building to create more area.

　　To open terraced fields is very technical and requires both finding water and a lot of effort.

　　Ordinary farmers can't do it! And farmers who produce systematically do not lack this technology, so they can increase the amount of farmland reclamation.

　　Lin Feng was able to get 4 [-] acres of farmland on such a small site, which is nearly ten kilometers away from the two prefectures. It was the farmers under his command.

　　Usually, the peasants under his command seem to be acting as soldiers, useful as cannon fodder

　　Other than that, it doesn't seem to work anywhere else.

　　But in fact, Lin Feng's territory can develop, all rely on these humble farmers! With these farmers, Lin Feng can obtain sufficient and large amounts of food, have willful capital, and be able to carry out large-scale actions again and again.

　　Jeju Island has reclaimed millions of acres of fertile land, all of which are standard farms.

　　One month, [-] million catties of rice can be harvested! Enough for millions of people to eat for seven or eight months! In this way, even if Jeju Island develops and the population increases greatly in the future, there will be a lot of grain that can be transferred out to support other places.

　　Only when there is enough food and enough to feed the population can we talk about development! After leaving behind 66 farmers and their accompanying food, Ling Yun personally led the team, led the six [-] squadrons of the Weihai Fleet, and [-] farmers, set sail, and directly Head north, heading for the Heilongjiang estuary

　　The Heilongjiang River Basin is the largest water system in the entire East Asia, with a drainage area of ​​nearly [-] million square kilometers! What a vast drainage basin! A lot! It can be said that if it is not in the extreme northern tundra area, it is extremely difficult to survive in this era, I am afraid it will have long become the mother river of the beginning of civilization.

　　Because it has all the conditions required for the development of civilization! It has a wide river basin, many water systems, and a large flow of water. The land on both sides of the river is also very fertile! It is just because it is too cold and there are virgin forests everywhere, which makes it extremely difficult to develop. It was originally developed with this strength, but in the past thousands of years, the Han civilization has risen and fallen, and the population has never been enough, and its large population has also been used to expand to the southern land.

　　In the Ming Dynasty, the population was enough, and the development began to the north! The entire northeast has already flooded into the enough population, as long as the development continues step by step, sooner or later, it will be able to develop from the Great Plains where the northeast is located to the Heilongjiang River Basin.

　　It was only because of the sudden rise of the Manchu Tartars that this historical process was interrupted.

　　But when the Manchu Qing occupied Shenzhou, they began to break through the Guandong vigorously, develop northward, and develop until the Heilongjiang River Basin.

　　However, he found out that this land has been occupied by Tsarist Russia! When he wanted to develop it, when he could develop it, it was occupied! However, the descendants of the Manchu and Qing Tartars have long been content with pleasure and are no longer savages. As it widened, this piece of land was regarded as barren land by them, and they gave it away generously.

　　As a result, this land was completely occupied by Tsarist Russia.

　　There are many opportunities, but they are not seized every time. When they want to seize it, it is already too late! This has to be said, it is the regret of the Han civilization.
