The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 471
The Dutch attacked the indigenous tribes who dared to resist and resisted (they were divided into raw and cooked), and entered into an agreement with the obedient indigenous tribes, establishing a feudal relationship in which the Dutch were the lords and the natives and immigrants were vassals. .

They collected all the local fields as their own, and charged high rents from the local people. The annual rent for each Jiatian (about [-] mu) was [-] shi for upper fields, [-] shi for middle fields, and [-] shi for lower fields. fight.

Speaking of this, Ding Yi signaled him to stop, and then slowly said: "We are in Jeju Island, and we charge [-]% per mu of land, which is considered a high tax."

"A senior official has [-] acres of land, and he has to pay [-] shi in taxes, which is more than ours."

"And the yield is between three and four stones per mu. The yield is very high, about twice that of our Dongjiang Town."

The generals looked excited.

Zhao Dashan immediately yelled: "Damn it, how can such a good place be occupied by barbarians, so grab it."

"Snatch it here." There was a loud shout in the conference room.

After they handed over, Ruan Siqing continued: "Their low-level officers and sergeants are treated very badly, and they have no fighting will."

"The rent paid by the common people is quite high, and the people's hearts are not stable."

"If we can capture it, we can immediately get a huge sugar production base with a very good high-quality trading port. More importantly, it is just opposite to Zheng Zhilong. Our powerful infantry camp can reach the coast of Fujian in less than a day. .”

That last paragraph is the key.

Everything about the food is fake. Ding Yi now has to think about what to do if Zheng Zhilong turns his back on him two years later and wants to attack him at sea.

Ding Yi's annual maritime trade is just over 200 million yuan, and his annual expenditure is more than 100 million yuan.

Almost [-]% of revenue comes from offshore.

If Zheng Zhilong beat him at sea, Ding Yi would go bankrupt immediately.

Of course, Ding Yi didn't want to fight Zheng Zhilong either, and he didn't want his own people to fight his own people unless it was absolutely necessary.

At this moment, Ding Yi sighed and said: "Brother Zheng has been kind to me as much as a mountain. He also helped us when we were most difficult."

"But the world is like chess and unpredictable. No one would have thought that this kind of thing would happen."

"Master Tiger is dead, and nothing can be undone. I really don't want to fight Brother Zheng."

"My idea is that after occupying a large number of people, our infantry can arrive overnight, and any port can land on the mainland of Fujian. Brother Zheng will definitely think carefully about whether to turn against us."

Taking down the big officials is tantamount to putting a nail in Zheng Zhilong's side. At that time, if you don't hit me, I won't hit you either. Fleeing to sea.

Zheng Zhilong misses his hometown very much. The house in his hometown has been built. Would you let him go to sea to become a pirate again?

When Ding Yi said this, he decided to take down the big officials.

All the civil and military personnel present supported it.

Over the years, they occupied Dengzhou, Japan, North Korea, and Jeju. Every decision will bring great benefits to Lushun, making them develop faster and faster, with more troops and more money. many.

So everyone knows that big staff is equally important to them.

At this time, Ding Yi's face became serious, and he said loudly: "Given the importance of senior officers, I want to set up a special army for senior officers."

"Zhao Dashan."

"Here." Zhao Dashan immediately responded.

"From now on, you have to guard the officer for me." It turned out that Ding Yi wanted to send Zhao Dashan to the officer.

Zhao Dashan was stunned for a moment, he had always wanted to come out to lead troops, but this time it was a little sudden: "Then the intelligence department?"

"Leave the intelligence department to Lu Chao. You have been working for several years and you need to change positions." Ding Yi said calmly.

"No." Zhao Dashan grinned: "Old Lu, I will leave it to you in the future."

Lu Chao's face was full of joy: "I want to ask you for advice, ask for advice."

Then Ruan Wenlong reported on the status of Dongjiang Town.

经过六年多的发展，东江镇丁毅地盘内，目前人口409890人, 其中18-35岁青壮158900多人, 18岁以下36000多人, 35-45岁男子48000多人，45岁以上男女82500多人，18-45岁女子84490人。

It was also said at the meeting that since last year, new births have been counted every year.

Everyone's eyes brightened when they heard so many strong men. In the eyes of generals, these are all sources of soldiers.

In order to increase the population of Dongjiang Town these years, the Propaganda Department organizes male and female associations every year, forming many families and encouraging more children. Last year alone, 4890 babies were born and survived.

Beigou City will be newly built this year, and Baiyun City will be built next year. After these two cities are established, it will be impossible for Houjin to enter Fuzhou and Jinzhou on a large scale. New Golden Bone City.

The location of Golden Bone City is on the same level as Yongping, and it is defending the eastern front.

In the future, if the Jin soldiers wanted to enter Fuzhou and Jinzhou, they would either go through Beigou or Baiyun Mountain. Now that these two places have been built fortifications, they can only take a long way around and come from the seaside of Huanggu Island on the east line.

After the Yellow Bone City was built, the three lines of Houjin that could enter the hinterland of Fuzhou and Jinzhou were all blocked. Unless a large army was raised, small groups of soldiers and horses would definitely not be able to go deep, and once they entered, they would be easily surrounded to death.

In this way, Ding Yi’s large amount of vacant land between Jinfu and Jinzhou can not only store land, but also live in people. Therefore, the logistics department will increase the number of victims this year, and strive to have a population of more than 45 by the end of the year and 50 by the end of next year.

With a large population, more food is needed, and the pressure is greater, but it also means more soldiers and more labor. As long as Ding Yi can afford it, for Dongjiang Town, the more natural people, the better.

Ruan Wenlong continued.

At present, the south of Lushun South Pass is the earliest land storage in Lushun, and it is also the safest at present. Even if Houjin enters Jinzhou and Fuzhou, it will not affect that side.

There are currently 16 mu over there, and 2 mu has been stockpiled on Phi Island (Ding Yi’s previous goal was to stockpile 5 acres, but later found that the above land was really not good, and the land was full of sand and gravel. No wonder Mao Wenlong also hoarded a lot. Well, they can barely store up to 2 mu), but after they occupied Tieshan, they stockpiled another 2 mu from Tieshan to the south.

In addition, Jinzhou and the former Houjin land south of Fuzhou have hoarded 18 mu, and then there are big islands such as Changsheng Island, and small islands such as Pig Island, which add up to about 1 mu.

The entire Dongjiang Town now has a total of 39 mu of fertile land.

Last winter, the weather was very cold, and a lot of wheat was frozen to death. The summer harvest was not ideal, and the harvest was less than 5 shi. But this year’s autumn harvest is growing well. Although the Houjin soldiers just came in and lost some, it is estimated that 50 shi can be received. , can receive 55 shi throughout the year, and borrow 20 of the 10 shi grain provided by North Korea, and the annual actual income is 65. In addition to the abundant fish in the Dongjiang River, it is barely enough to feed 40 people in the Dongjiang River.

Moreover, Ding Yi kept hundreds of thousands of stones of stored grain, which was not enough, and he could still use the stored grain.Therefore, Dongjiang Town can now support itself with blood transfusions without the imperial court.

If next year’s summer harvest can guarantee the production, North Korea’s grain can be used (the grain over there should be used on Jeju Island as much as possible).

The generals were overjoyed when they heard it, and many of them beamed with joy.
