0751 Sudden bad news

When Liu Pei saw that the things in the placement were on the right track, Liu Pei felt itchy in his bones again. He flipped through the file to see what had not been done. It turned out that one thing was really discovered. That is, Hokkaido has not yet been in hand.

The intelligence bureau has sent information from Hokkaido to his desk. The entire Hokkaido islands currently have only a dozen daimyo territories near the south, and the size of the territories is very small and the number of people is very small.

These daimyo were all daimyo who had lost in the Warring States Battle, and with their remaining money and samurai, they went to Hokkaido to try their luck in the hope that one day they could revive their family name. In the days to come, if there is no Liu Pei, they will really become the noble family of Hokkaido. But it's a pity that Liu Pei has already set his sights on Hokkaido, so naturally there is nothing to do with them!

Liu Pei's soul is a modern person, and in the impression of modern people, Hokkaido belongs to Japan. So Liu Pei, who is most interested in attacking and occupying the territory of the Wa Kingdom!

So when Liu Pei found out that this matter had not been done, he immediately ordered a fleet and prepared to personally lead people to attack Hokkaido.

As a result, when the fleet arrived in Hokkaido, Liu Pei was completely disappointed! For he saw that the territories of the dilapidated daimyo were not so much a territory as a messy hamlet. And it's a very poor and dilapidated kind of small village.

Liu Peizhen suspected that if he fired at the village, he would get more than enough money for shells and gunpowder! So Liu Pei, who had completely lost interest, no longer directly intervened in the battle. He directly ordered a few guards and asked them to take turns to lead the troops, and it was a real combat exercise.

As a result, something that made Liu Pei even more depressed happened! Those dilapidated daimyo had already received a message from the Tokugawa family that Liu Pei would come to take over Hokkaido sooner or later. So as soon as they saw Liu Pei's army approaching, they obediently surrendered! And there are some shameless people who directly ask Liu Pei if he can accept their allegiance?

In the end, Liu Pei simply didn't bother to show his face, and directly ordered the guards to let them leave if there were anyone willing to return to the other three islands of the Japanese country. If they don't want to leave, they will be arrested and sent to Taiwan.

But as soon as he thought of the Ezo people living here, Liu Pei had another idea. Anyway, these Ezo people will be killed sooner or later

The Japanese are exterminated! Rather than being killed by the Japanese people in vain, it is better to let them play a little more light and heat.

So Liu Pei directly wrote an order, and asked Aso's father and son and the Foreign Legion to transfer them, and let them try their best to capture those Ezo people so that they could be sent to Taiwan as slaves. Subsequently, Liu Pei, who accepted Hokkaido, returned to Shandong with a sense of rejoicing.

Still, there is good news. After Liu Pei returned to Shandong, he received Fang Degang's official letter. It is said that Keelung's iron ore and coal mines have begun to officially produce!

This news really made Liu Pei very happy! Because now Liu Pei has to spend a lot of money every year to buy pig iron and coal. Needless to say, all the stocks of pig iron must be used by the military, but it is also necessary to take into account the needs of the civilian sector.

And the biggest demand for coal is in shipyards. Every year, countless amounts of coal is consumed in the shipyard's drying room, and it costs a lot of money to buy it! This time, after Keelung's coal mines have output, the cost of shipbuilding can be reduced by a large margin.

Liu Pei, who received the news, was very happy. So Liu Pei simply conducted a patrol of the entire territory. In the three provinces of Qingdenglai, Liu Pei owns a large amount of land, but most of it is wasteland. At this time, it can be used to accommodate those displaced people.

During the inspection, Liu Pei found that he had really done a good thing this time! Liu Pei mainly looked at the newly established villages. Liu Pei was deeply impressed by the situation in the village!

The displaced people were all dressed in rags, pale and badly malnourished. And the long-distance migration also greatly consumes their bodies. But the people who can go to Shandong alive are basically people with very good physical strength! Otherwise, they don't have enough stamina to survive here.

As soon as they arrived in Shandong, these people threw themselves into their work, and under the leadership of the village chief, they ate a minimum share of the food ration and did heavy labor every day. They renovated the water system, prepared the land, built shacks, and never rested except when they slept!

The reason is that they got a clear answer from the old tenants: their proprietor was rich, and he was a rare good man! Words count! Say that you are allowed to get rid of slavery, and you will be able to get rid of it! So everyone worked hard for fear of being told to work

If you are not serious, it will affect the chances of leaving the country in the future.

At this time, we can see the benefits of Liu Pei's reserve cadres! A large number of disabled soldiers have been trained, and all of them have become village chiefs in newly developed settlements! Every day, a disabled person with a weapon on his back leads a group of victims to the east of Shandong, or boards a sea ship and heads to Taiwan and the Ryukyus.

As for Fang Degang, needless to say, he was already busy flying! Fang Degang has been sleeping for more than two hours a day for more than a month! It turns out that the chubby appearance is gone, and a lot of fat has been boiled off! Even the eye sockets were sunken in, causing the already small eyes to appear a little bigger!

In fact, he is indeed busy! The grouping of the displaced people, the resettlement of the settlements, the distribution of things, and the piles and piles have to be involved, no wonder they are tired and slim down! And if it weren't for Liu Pei's busy cultivating literate talents over the years, otherwise Fang Degang wouldn't be able to do it!

As soon as he turned around, Liu Pei, who had returned to the garrison mansion, received an urgent telegram, which was sent by someone placed in Nanyang by the Intelligence Bureau!

Ever since Liu Pei drove the Dutch and Spaniards out of Taiwan, Liu Pei has been on guard against them. Liu Pei doesn't think that these colonists below will give up the stronghold of Taiwan! Because this stronghold is so precious to them when they come!

So Liu Pei secretly arranged an intelligence team with a telegraph machine and went directly to Batavia. to grasp the specific situation of these Westerners,

Liu Pei was taken aback when he opened the file he received! It reads that the Spaniards and the Dutch have united, and the fleets of both sides have formed a combined fleet of twenty-two warships with the intention of attacking Taiwan. The fleet is currently assembling in Batavia and is about to depart!

Liu Pei immediately opened the chart and began to measure the distance, and at the same time instructed the guards to call the navy people to gather. After calculating for a while, Liu Pei couldn't drop his pen and sighed, he felt that it was very likely that he would not be able to stop these people!

In Liu Pei's plan, he was preparing to start fighting against Nanyang next year. Because he felt that these Western colonizers had been hit hard this year and had no strength to counterattack. But he didn't expect that these colonists would abandon their grievances with each other and choose to unite.
