I'm sure of the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong!

Chapter 575 The bloody smell of colonization

The Governor-General of Luzon has added Mayi County. In the next ten years, there will be a continuous flow of immigrants here. While promoting education, the mainland's religious and Shinto beliefs must also be exported.

It is conceivable that in ten years' time Mayi County will probably have many more Han people (mixed race) who speak fluent Hokkien and believe in Mazu.

Because almost 80% of the immigrant population in Luzon comes from the coastal areas of Fujian. As the land of Longxing in the Ming and New Dynasties, the entire province has mountainous and hilly terrain, and the population pressure is also the greatest.

Moreover, immigrating from Fujian to Luzon is easier and safer than other coastal provinces. You only need to cross the sea to Taiwan first, change ships for supplies, and then go south to reach Luzon.

Generally speaking, the colonial expansion of the Luzon Governor-General has now entered a stable period.

The Han people who came to Luzon from Fujian to develop were gradually annexing land and transitioning to become overseas powerful powers.

This is inevitable. After all, directly annexing other Han people's lands is not as easy as opening up foreign lands, and the risks are also lower.

Moreover, the annexed land is still mature land, but it still has to be cultivated hard for external development.

In this regard, the Luzon Governor-General's Office could only issue policies to curb this practice of annexing the land of Han people of the same ethnic group.

At the same time, he strongly encouraged and supported the Han people in Luzon to open up foreign lands. He also changed from his original acquiescence to personally taking action. The governor's office directly provided soldiers and armor to the Han people and sent officers to conduct training in Han villages.

The Luzon Governor's Office did this, and the Pampanga people who had been domesticated by the Spaniards and then turned to submit to the Han people became polarized.

The Pampanga people who were close to the area under the Governor's Palace did not have many choices. They brought their tribesmen in and took the initiative to sinicize themselves.

Some Pampanga women close to urban areas are even proud to marry Han men, even if they are just concubines.

As for the Pampanga tribes who are further away from the Governor's Palace and simply live in deep ravines, it is even simpler.

The Pampanga indigenous tribes in these mountains did not hesitate to take up arms and chose to resist angrily.

Well, they just rebelled angrily and faced the support of the Governor-General personally. The fate of these Pampanga people was already doomed.

If the Han village can defeat it, then you can deal with it yourself. If you can't defeat them, then hold the village first and wait for the governor to mobilize the army to suppress them.

In this way, the colonial reclamation of the Luzon Governor's Palace can be said to be stained with the blood of Pampanga people.

According to the current colonial progress, there will be no more Pampanga people on the main island of Luzon in a few decades at most.

Even if there are, they are all highly Chinese and are naturalized people who cannot even speak the indigenous language of Pampanga.

……

But in the Nanyang Islands, Batavia in the past has long ceased to exist, and now it is only the Governor-General of Yecheng in the New Ming Dynasty.

The Governor's District of Yecheng, in addition to the Governor's Palace of Yecheng, also includes the three colonial areas of Old Port, Malacca, and Semarang, as well as the Old Port Xuanwei Division.

Don’t worry about Semarang. This is a pure Jisi area. Although the ruling class are all Han Chinese, most of them are descendants of overseas Han immigrants and have been deeply influenced by Nanyang Greening.

After being canonized by the Ming Dynasty, the Semarang Han named Chen Wenjiong still called himself the Governor of Semarang in the Ming Dynasty. But internally, it had long been changed to the Sultan of Semarang, and it had received widespread recognition and support from Han people, Ban people, and aristocratic landowners in Semarang.

Naturally, the Governor's Office of Yecheng knows about it, but for the time being, it will not interfere with it. As long as the other party does not openly rebel against the Ming Dynasty, it can even be used as an excuse to send troops when Semarang is taken over later.

The land around Coconut City was originally in the hands of Han plantation landowners. These large landowners even controlled more than 80% of the plantations near Coconut City at one time, and even the Dutch were afraid of them.

After the imperial court regained Coconut City, the governor encouraged the Han people to open up foreign land. Those tenants who were originally large Han plantation landowners continued to farm the land while also trying to open up wasteland.

Although the governor's office of Yecheng said that there would be a large-scale education, the Han people who opened up wasteland would not care so much.

Especially those Han immigrants who went to sea from the mainland to seek a living. Instead of going to Luzon, they went to Nanyang Coconut City just to grab the undeveloped land here.

If anyone dares to stop them from reclaiming land, then they will fight to the death!

In the winter of the eleventh year of Jianwu's reign, it was still very warm here in Java.

Wu Dayou, who immigrated from Chaoshan, Guangdong, was convening a meeting with the Han people in the village: "These Javanese natives are so hateful. They always come to sneak attack our villages when we are not prepared, trample and plunder our crops. We can't do this again. If it continues, we must take the initiative and beat these indigenous people so hard that they are painful. We must let them know that they are afraid." Someone raised a question: "But the village chief, in the past, we have been passive defensive. We have to take the initiative to attack the indigenous tribes. Don't tell them. Can we survive the fight? What if the Governor-General's Office comes to interfere with this matter?"

Wu Dayou grinned: "The Governor's Office will not care. Even if we take the initiative to attack the indigenous tribes, they will be very happy."

The man was stunned: "What does the village chief mean?"

Wu Dayi waved his hand: "Bring it up."

Soon someone carried several large boxes and placed them in the open space in the center of the village.

Wu Dayou stepped forward and opened all the boxes one by one. They were all filled with brand new armors and weapons.

When we got to the last box, we actually took out a military bow and a standard crossbow. Not to mention that the Ming army had already phased out crossbows.

These are military-standard armored crossbows at first glance, and they are definitely not something that can be purchased with ordinary means.

After all, all Han villages in the Yecheng governor-general must first report to the governor-general. A village can only be established with the permission of the Governor-General, and the village chief must also be appointed by the Governor-General.

The entire Han people in the "Chaoke Village" understood everything instantly when they saw Wu Dayou carrying out these boxes.

The name Chaoke Village came from discussions between Wu Dayou and the Han people in the village when he built the village. It means the Hakka people from Chaoshan, Guangdong.

There are not a few Han immigrants like Chaoke Village in the Yecheng Governor-General District, and they are mainly immigrants from Guangdong, which is a coastal area hit hard by population pressure like Fujian.

Although the Ming Dynasty and the New Dynasty introduced the policy of dividing land and opening up wasteland, there is only so much land in Guangdong, and it has been cleared up long ago. Even after being harmed by King Lin, the population pressure here has not eased at all.

In order to make a living, many of these Guangdong Han people chose to open up wasteland overseas. Luzon was already the territory of the Fujian people. The Cantonese people did not have many choices. The only choice left was the Governor's Office of Yecheng in the Nanyang Islands.

At this stage, the Cantonese immigrants here are only concentrated on Java Island, where the Governor's Palace of Coconut City is located. When these first batch of Han immigrants who have eaten crabs in Coconut City return to their hometown, they will definitely attract more Cantonese people who cannot survive. Organize a group to open up wasteland here in Nanyang.

Java Island is a good place. The entire long and narrow island is a long volcanic archipelago, which also means that there will be a lot of fertile land left after volcanic eruptions on the island.

As long as you open up wasteland casually, it can become a good field. Just be a little more diligent and cooperate with the mild climate here. Not to mention making a fortune, at least it is absolutely impossible to lose money.

Wu Dayou looked at the Han people in the village who were distributing soldiers, armor, and weapons, and already had a plan in his mind to give these villagers some training.

After the spring and New Year next year, we will send troops directly.

First, the nearby indigenous tribes that often harassed them were wiped out. All the indigenous men inside were pulled over to be serfs, and the women were assigned to the Han people in the village as wives.

It just so happened that these Han people had been here for a few years and had been wandering alone overseas for several years. It was very difficult to have no women, and the governor was also encouraging them to intermarry with the local indigenous people.

This can be regarded as responding to the will of the governor and the court.

There are many Han villages who have the same idea as Wu Dayou. As long as Wu Dayou takes the lead, more and more indigenous tribes will suffer in the future.

These Javanese natives were originally the victims, and their land was forcibly taken away by Han immigrants to open up wasteland. Neither the Han people's governor-general nor the Wandan Kingdom, which nominally ruled them, paid attention to their appeals.

Javanese natives who are lucky can still be tenants of Han landlords. Even if they are unlucky, they can work in Coconut City, but they will do the most difficult and tiring work.

Those who were unlucky would either be massacred by the Han people who opened up wasteland, or directly become serfs.

According to the current rate of reclamation by the Han people, the land from around Yecheng to the Kingdom of Banten (Java) will probably be completely annexed by Han villages in less than ten years.

As for the Banten Kingdom, the Sultan has always been a puppet since it was turned into a protectorate by the Netherlands. Now that it has been turned into a protectorate by the British, and Britain and China are allies, it is naturally even less likely to support Banten in confronting the Chinese.

Without the support of the British, Banten would have been completely defeated long ago.
