Liu Pei has divided all of his jurisdictions into three regions. One is the Daming War Zone. One is the Taiwan theater of operations, and the other is the Southeast Asian theater. The three theaters of operations are independent of each other, and even the forces are used independently.

Among them, the Taiwan theater includes Taiwan, Ryukyu and Penghu, and is an absolute security zone. It is Liu Pei's overseas base camp. With the cooperation of Taiwan's local aborigines, the Taiwan region has entered the final stage of the clean-up operation.

In the past two years or so, most of the raw ones have been wiped out. All that remained were scattered people who had fled into the depths of the primeval forest. As long as they are thoroughly cleared out, there will be no war in the Taiwan area. It will become the industrial center of Liu Pei.

As for the Ming Dynasty, it is another theater of operations. However, it will take a long time for the Daming War Zone to be cultivated and developed before Liu Pei will have enough strength for combat. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty has not lost its national fortunes now, and if Liu Pei is in a hurry, he will only become the target of public criticism. So just quietly and slowly expand your strength.

The last one is the Southeast Asian theater of operations. With the help of Daming's current relatively calm time, most of Liu Pei's resources will be concentrated in Southeast Asia. This includes armies previously concentrated in Southeast Asia and newly formed units. and the Foreign Legion will form the main force in the Southeast Asian war.

Their mission is to completely occupy and develop Southeast Asia and annihilate all the natives who dare to resist. Promote Han culture to assimilate the natives. Liu Pei estimated that the fighting time will be extended to the next 6-10 years or so before Southeast Asia can be completely pacified.

After all, Southeast Asia is a tropical rainforest region, and the primeval jungle has a great impact on the soldiers' operations. So Liu Pei formed the Foreign Legion. They will be at the forefront, trading their lives for victory in the war!

The third thing Liu Peigan did was to secretly reinforce the Japanese Catholic uprising. The reason why Tokugawa Iemitsu reached an agreement with Liu Pei so easily during Liu Pei's last attack on the Japanese kingdom was that the increasingly obvious activities of the Catholics helped a lot. Otherwise, Tokugawa Iemitsu will definitely die at the end.

Tokugawa Iemitsu was very aware that Liu Pei was an outsider. He thought it was impossible to occupy Japan. Because the Wa Kingdom is not Southeast Asia with only a primary civilization

Native. If Liu Pei forcibly occupies the Wa Kingdom, he will only face a continuous series of uprisings! Unless he kills all the widows!

But the homegrown insurgents are different! If they win, it will completely upend the order of the Tokugawa family and Japan. Therefore, Tokugawa Iemitsu would rather choose to bow to Liu Pei for the time being, but also retain enough strength to deal with these Catholics.

In fact, the people of the Intelligence Bureau have been connected with the Catholics for a long time! They would trade precious metals, minerals, and captured prisoners of war with the Intelligence Service. The Intelligence Bureau, for its part, provided them with a large number of obsolete bird guns and knives, as well as a small amount of iron armor.

So this year seems to be a very peaceful appearance, but in fact, both the inside and outside of Daming have become a mess. But Liu Pei is thriving here!

Because Liu Pei took in the displaced people in Shandong, the manpower became more and more abundant. So Liu Pei began to engage in the production of primary industrial products. Liu Pei's first products were glass, cloth and food.

In terms of glass products, Liu Pei is ready to beat the price of glass to the same price as porcelain. But he still kept the secret recipe for making mirrors. Good through the mirror to earn high profits. Then all the glass market is swallowed up by low-grade glass products.

Although the market has just opened, it has already revealed enough profit expectations! Especially those glass crafts, as the craftsmen become more and more skilled, the shape of the products is more and more varied, and they are very popular in the market.

As for weaving, it's even simpler! The Academy of Sciences has just copied mule machines and shuttle looms, all powered by water power. The effect crushes all the craft workshops! And the quality of the cloth is excellent! Now Liu Pei is constantly expanding production capacity, and it is foreseeable that another big profit is about to appear.

The third profit item is the cannery. With glass bottles supplied by the glass products factory. Canned fish and canned fruit are on the agenda. Through the efforts of craftsmen, more than a dozen varieties of these things have been developed. And it has been tested by major department stores and is also very popular.

But to Liu Pei's surprise, the most popular is actually salted fish! Liu Pei's subordinates were

A smuggler offered to sell salted fish at a high price. The method is to put a lot of salt, and even let the salt condense on the fish, forming a layer of salt shell!

In this case, the tax collected by the salted fish through the state and the province is the tax on dry goods, and the price is very low. In fact, when the common people bought the salted fish back, they would scrape off the salt on it and eat it. As for the salted fish, they will eat it as a pickle.

You must know that the price of official salt and salted fish are one in the sky and one in the ground! This operation not only gave the people benefits, but also opened up sales channels for Liu Pei's private salt. You can also sell the salt from your own salt factory farther!

After all, Liu Pei's private salt line only controlled Shandong. Other provinces have not yet had time to expand. However, with the help of salted fish, the next step will be to develop other areas near Shandong Province.

However, these things are all small things, and Fang Degang will handle them perfectly. The most important issue in front of Liu Pei now is to clean up the Shandong Health Institute. At present, Liu Pei has devoted all her energy to cleaning up the local health center.

Liu Pei calculated that with the guards in Denglai and the troops under his control, Liu Pei could hide an army of nearly 40,000 people in Shandong! How could Liu Pei let go of such a precious quota of soldiers?

Now that Liu Pei is in power, he naturally wants to carry out the order. Moreover, Liu Pei was willing to spend money, bought off Shangguan, and got the tacit approval of bureaucrats at all levels. So he cleaned up the guard without mercy!

In addition, Liu Pei is also willing to let the officers of these guards go, and often gives them a severance pay, which is enough for them to buy a piece of land and live the life of a landlord. So a large number of officers surrendered their power.

And some of them who refuse to hand over their rights will be miserable! Liu Pei will find him trouble first from the books. After all, embezzling the land of the guard station and enslaving soldiers is what many officers have done. So soon all kinds of crimes will fall on their heads, and then they will be disgraced from their posts.

A small number of people who want to resist will die inexplicably. Liu Pei will definitely not be soft in this regard! All obstacles must be removed. Anyway, Liu Pei occupies the position of righteousness and buys off Shangguan, so no one will embarrass him. So in more than half a year, Liu Pei completely mastered all the guards in Denglai and Denglai!
