1635 Han style rises again

Chapter 29 San Fernando ([-])
Qi Tian and his second brother Qi Dajiang looked at each other, then stood up, took out a piece of paper from a nearby desk and spread it out in front of them, grabbed a quill and started drawing on it.

"This is Luzon, um, there are many islands, all the way to here..." Qi Tian first roughly drew a rough map of the Philippine Islands, "After crossing these Luzon islands, you will pass a big island (Kalimantan Island) , part of it should also be controlled by the Dutch, but certainly not all of it.”

"This big island, I know, is a must pass when arriving in Batavia." Yu Fukun interrupted.

"Yes, we crossed this big island and went southwest to Batavia. At that time, we can send a large ship without force to purchase supplies there. Then..." The quill in Qi Tian's hand moved southeast again .

"Travel southeast all the way, and you will see a huge continent." Qi Tian drew a big "Yali" at the bottom of the picture with a quill pen, "Let's go here!"

"Is there... a powerful force here?" Hu Wenjin stared blankly at the big "Yali" and asked.

"There, there should be hundreds of thousands of aborigines." Qi Tian made an estimate, remembering later generations, it seems that there are not many aborigines in Australia.At that time, the British colonists had not yet landed in Australia. Presumably, there were still some aboriginals (there are about 70 aboriginals in modern Australia).

"Hundreds of thousands! That's not something we can handle with hundreds of people!" Hu Wenjin said.

"Well, that continent is as big as my Ming Dynasty, and there are hundreds of thousands of indigenous people, so they will be distributed... very widely. Moreover, their military power may be slightly stronger than monkeys... the most important thing is , they don't have a piece of iron."

"Hundreds of thousands of monkeys, there is no iron, and the distribution is still scattered!" Hu Wenjin grinned, "Then let's take it, and we will be the owners of this land?"

"Yes, as long as we occupy it and move more people, we will be the masters of this land." Qi Tian also laughed.Yesterday evening, when I was chatting back to the town with my third brother, when I mentioned the word "skyline", the geographical term Australia suddenly appeared.Immediately afterwards, he carefully recalled that Britain seemed to have colonized Australia only in the late eighteenth century.So, at this time, Australia is a piece of land without an owner.Since Daming can't stay, and Nanyang is the sphere of influence of the Netherlands, Spain, and Portugal, then why not occupy Australia in order to settle down.So, when Cao Xiong sent someone to inform the second brother to discuss matters, he also followed, just to encourage everyone to colonize Australia.

"Are you sure this land is as big as my Daming?" Yu Fukun asked.

"Of course, there are more than 700 million square kilometers."

"Huh?" Everyone blinked.

"Oh, it can be said that it is even bigger than Daming."

"Oh!" everyone exclaimed, "Then let's take it, and from now on, Boss Cao will be the emperor, and we will be great scholars!"

"We are savages, how can we become a bachelor?"

"Then become a general and a commander-in-chief!"

"Haha..." Everyone excitedly discussed their future.

"Third Uncle." Seeing the excitement of the crowd, Qi Tian called Cao Xiong softly.

"Well, Xiaotian, good boy. What else do you have to say, just say it." Cao Xiong said cheerfully.

"Since we want to occupy this land, we have to collect as many materials as possible, ... and people." Qi Tian mulled over his words, "We will leave here in a few days, and when Spain comes back, we must To take revenge on the Ming immigrants here, we will take them all away to enrich our population. In addition, let’s not kill those Spaniards indiscriminately, and collect all the craftsmen, craftsmen, and any useful people among them Come out and take it away."

"That's right! Xiaotian is right! Old Hu, go outside and talk loudly, and tell those mischievous brothers to stop. Those people will be our subjects in the future! Don't waste it!" Cao Xiong was stunned, and immediately ordered road.

"Xiaotian, how do you know that there is such a large unclaimed land in the south?" Yu Fukun suddenly turned his head and asked.

"The Spanish officers and sailors on the ship said it. Moreover, the Dutch red-haired ghost once sent a ship to that place." Qi Tian said.

"Oh, why didn't the Dutch take it?"

"The Dutch value profits, and there are spices in Southeast Asia, which are enough for them to make a fortune. And that continent...is a little bit desolate and far away from the shipping lanes, so they don't bother to occupy it."

"Desolation? Can it be cultivated to support people?"

"Of course, it is not a problem to feed at least 2000 million people." In later generations, Australia can not only feed more than 2000 million people in its own country, but also a major exporter of food in the world.

"Damn it, take it and bring all our farmers from Shandong here, so we won't give our lives to those black-hearted landlords!"

After everyone agreed on where to go, they began to collect supplies and people in a planned way.The atrocities in the small town have temporarily stopped, but a more terrifying rumor has the residents panicking.Most of them will be taken captive by these pirates to the ship, and then go to a new continent in the far south.Surprisingly, it is not the Spanish immigrants who have the greatest resistance to migration, but the Ming immigrants.

"You mean, they are not willing to follow us?" Qitian heard Gouzi and Ding Chuangen say that most Ming immigrants are unwilling to relocate for fear of being further away from their homeland. "This Luzon is also far away from Daming. How did they leave their hometown and move here?"

"Although this Luzon is far away from Daming, when there is a trade wind, you can return in seven or eight days." Ding Chuangen said, "The old people say that when the world is better in Daming, the children and grandchildren will be able to return to their homeland."

"Better in the world? Heh, how can it be better in this world?" Qi Tian smiled wryly, "This world will be even more chaotic.... They don't want to leave, but the Spaniards are here, but they want to take revenge on them !... You didn't tell them that?"

"...I said it." Ding Chuangen showed a bitter look of embarrassment on his face, "They said that when the barbarian soldiers came, they would put all the blame on me and Chunsheng. Each family donated their private savings to the barbarians in order to ask for forgiveness."

Qi Tian was dumbfounded when he heard that, um, this operation seems to be very Chinese, as long as it is not his own crime, he will contribute some money, and then think that he can continue to be an obedient citizen.Will the Spaniards give you a chance?In the several massacres of Chinese in the history of the Philippines, what crimes have the Chinese committed?In this era, barbarism, plunder and killing are the themes, warmth, forgiveness, and friendliness are not the nature of those colonists.

"Regardless of the reason, all Ming people must board the ship." Qi Tian felt that he could not just watch these Ming immigrants being killed or enslaved by the coming Spanish colonists.If the soft ones are not enough, then come hard ones.Every Han Chinese is an indispensable force in Australia.

"Gouzi, why are you looking at me like this?" After Ding Chuangen went out, Gouzi kept aiming at Qitian.

"I think...fourth uncle's aura just now is a bit like a master official." Gouzi said after a long while.

"Master Guan?" Qi Tian couldn't help laughing, "Which is the biggest master official you have ever seen?"

"The former Governor of Denglai, Mr. Sun." Gouzi said, "After he was captured by the Kong thief, he did not lose his official prestige in the hall, and sternly scolded the Kong thief for being ungrateful.... I was in the school grounds with my third uncle. Standing there, everyone dared not speak... Third Uncle said, Mr. Sun is actually a good official, if it weren't for the gang of bandits from Liaodong, our Dengzhou wouldn't be in such a mess!"

Qi Tian knew that Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai that Gou Zi mentioned, was Sun Yuanhua.When he was the governor of Denglai, he took in tens of thousands of refugees from Liaodong who came across the sea, selected them to train and join the army, and appointed Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng, who had rebelled in Yuanpi Island, as commanders.He also purchased a large number of guns and artillery, and hired more than a dozen Portuguese officers with a lot of money, almost forming the earliest pure firearms unit in Chinese history.However, the Wuqiao mutiny of Kong Youde, Geng Jingzhong and others broke through Dengzhou, killed the general soldier, captured Sun Yuanhua, and finally defected to Houjin, destroying this army, and then introduced many firearms to Houjin, making it With a certain ability to attack.And Sun Yuanhua was beheaded by Emperor Chongzhen because of the Denglai Rebellion.
