Liuqiu, Taiwan in later generations, was called "Daoyi" during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period; The Qin Dynasty called it "Yingzhou"; During the Three Kingdoms period, it was called "Yizhou"; From the Sui Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, it was called "Liuqiu". From the 9th to the 10th century, at the end of the Tang Dynasty and the beginning of the Song Dynasty, Han people began to settle in Penghu.

The sun was shining, the sea was calm, and several 2,000-gauge ships sailed from north to south, sailing on the endless sea. These are merchant ships from various countries in the South Seas, who transport ivory, coral, agate, pearls, agarwood, and even rice and other goods from Boni, Guawa, Chenla and other countries to the north, and then sell them in Haizhou, Mizhou, Dengzhou and other places, and then buy Chinese glass, ceramics, silk, tea, etc., and return to their own countries.

The Song dynasty crossed to the south, a large number of soldiers went into exile, the Wuthering Mountains and forests on the land, the thieves rose up, and the coastal ones pulled up the sails and turned into pirates, crisscrossing the sea, and the officials and soldiers could not control it.

Suddenly, on the ship at the fore, the sailors raised the flag in their hands, and there was chaos when they boarded the ship.

"There's a pirate, slide back!"

The ship's leader shouted loudly, directing the sailors and crews to desperately turn the rudder, immediately changing course, wanting to leave quickly.

"Go to the inspection department in Penghu immediately!"

The ship's face turned pale, and he immediately made a decision.

Once you are entangled by these pirates, it is very likely that you will lose both people and goods, and you will lose all your money.

Several ships turned their rudders and rowed backwards. The pirates on dozens of small boats followed from behind, waving their teeth and claws, shouting loudly.

"Keep up, don't let the fat fall off your mouth!"

"Quick, follow!"

The merchant ships were in front, and the pirate ships were behind, all from south to north, and before you knew it, the islands in front of you were already impressive.

"Big boss, there seems to be an official army on this island."

Noticing a big "Song" on the flag fluttering on the island, a pirate shouted loudly.

"Afraid of a ball! Our brothers are all over the sea, and we are afraid of these wretches!"

For some reason, the people on the ship suddenly jumped for joy, they danced with their hands and their faces were flushed, as if they had met a savior, and the ship soon entered the calm harbor.

The pirate ship followed, regardless of it, these fierce men who crisscrossed the seas were completely fearless. Their ships entered the calm harbor, and the islands on both sides were like a huge embrace, embracing all the ships in it.

"The big boss, the warship of the official army!"

Suddenly, a pirate pointed to the surrounding sea and screamed.

The weather-covered pirate leader looked at the sea on the side, and saw countless ships surrounding from all directions, all of which were Song soldiers wearing helmets and armor and holding swords and guns.

"Afraid of a ball! Just rush out!"

The pirate leader was calm, and he didn't know how many such scenes he had seen. With such a large sea, these officers and soldiers are not earth leopards, and they will be crushed with one blow.

"Pong! Disheveled! Ponto!"

The sound of artillery rang out one after another, and the Song army's warship was filled with gunsmoke, and the first two pirate ships were like lightning strikes, and the ship's mast was interrupted with the "click" sound, and it smashed heavily on the deck, and the speed of the ship suddenly slowed down.

The pirates on the two ships were dumbfounded, never expecting that the other party would have artillery, and it would be so fierce.

"Go over and shout, tell them to surrender immediately, or they will be killed!"

Li Da stood at the bow of the ship, looked at the dozens of pirate ships in front of him, and waved his hand impatiently.

Since the Loyal and Righteous Army was seeking "colonization" in Liuqiu, the Penghu Islands also set up an inspection department, whose primary responsibility was to crack down on piracy, so as to stabilize the Quartet and ensure the smooth flow of trade routes.

The most important thing is to open the Yajian

The government reclaimed the land and opened mines, and built Liuqiu into a springboard for the loyal and righteous army to go south and north.

"Rush over and get close to them!"

The pirate leader took the plunge and commanded his men forward.

"Pong! Disheveled! Ponto!"

Another burst of cannon fire rang out, and on the bow of a preemptive ship, several pirates were beaten and covered in bloody holes, screaming, and wriggling on the deck.

"Zheng Guang, if you hadn't killed innocents indiscriminately, you would have been beaten into a sieve long ago. Why don't you surrender quickly, do you want so many people to bury you!"

Li Da's words sounded, making Zheng Guang's face on the pirate ship pale, he hesitated for a long time, and the steel knife in his hand fell on the deck.

"Although only two-and-a-half of the land is suitable for cultivation, the soil is fertile, warm and moist, and the land conducive to cultivation is the western plains and the narrow coastal strips in the east, but it is rich in vegetables, sugar, sugar cane, tea, rice and tropical and subtropical fruits. Liuqiu is rich in rice, with two to three crops a year, good rice quality and high yield, which is a rare yield holy land......"

Supervise the coastal defense, so as to prevent this "Nanyang pivotal point" that "stretches for more than a thousand miles" from falling into the hands of the Song Dynasty and foreign countries, especially Japan.

Li Bao stood in the cement house that had not been built long ago, looking out through the window, frowning and pondering, Wang Song's words still echoing in his ears.

"If you can take the facilities in a corner as the model of the whole country, and the prosperity and strength of the country on one island, you will cover the Spring and Autumn Period and leave a name in history!"

Sulfur, coal, sugar cane, rice, and building Liuqiu into a granary for the loyal and righteous army, these are all things he has to do.

A few months later, he reported to the Xuanfu Department and proposed a new plan for the establishment of the government, which was approved, and the administrative construction of Liuqiu was set as one government, four prefectures, and more than ten counties.

He didn't know why Wang Song insisted on calling Liuqiu Taiwan.

The Taiwan Prefecture is divided into Penghu Prefecture, Taipei Prefecture, Taichung Prefecture, Tainan Prefecture, and the rest of the counties are set accordingly.

And he, Li Bao, was the first Taiwanese assassin and minister of reclamation.

The reclamation of barren tuntian fields is mainly in the western plains and the eastern coast, which is also specially advised by Wang Song. The purchase of ships was imported from Quanzhou, and the distance between the two sides was very close, and the purchase of ships was very simple.

In addition, water conservancy was built, roads and bridges were built, cement batteries were built, the army was reorganized, and schools were established......

In the past two years, he has gone from being a young and vigorous naval general to a stable and important party.

The situation developed too quickly, the Loyal and Righteous Army first destroyed the Western Xia, and then pacified the Pseudo-Qi, and the coast north of the Huai River was all under the rule of the Loyal and Righteous Army. As the bridgehead for the Loyal and Righteous Army to move south, he must consolidate this base.

In his 20s, he was a feudal official, a very popular minister, holding thousands of troops and horses, crisscrossing the seas, Wang Song was kind to him, and he also wanted to die as a confidant, and do a good job.

After more than two years of construction, Liuqiu has opened up more than 5 million acres of wasteland, with an annual output of nearly 10 million stones, a population of more than 10 million, more than 10 coastal forts, nearly 100 naval warships, nearly 10,000 naval divisions, and more than 10,000 foot soldiers.

Today, Huang Feihu leads a group of sailor brothers to garrison the Shandong Lianshui Army. He focused on the sea, using the Liuqiu and Ryukyu Islands as a rocker to expand north-south.

As far as the eye can see, several ships have arrived at the harbor, and the people who have come down are smiling, and the harbor is bustling and lively.

Since the occupation of Liuqiu by the Loyal Army, large and small ships have come every day, carrying soldiers and immigrants, sometimes in the thousands, and sometimes in the hundreds.

The Loyal and Righteous Army distributed leaflets along the coast, and Taiwan (Liuqiu) reclamation, the per capita land of those who reclaimed the land was 100 mu, and the first three years were exempted. The government provided houses, seeds, farming tools, and more.

The southeast is already a thief peak, and there are few people in the field, and they are loyal

The recruitment of the rebels naturally attracted countless bankrupt farmers and landless people. As for the Fujian government, it turned a blind eye. Anyway, the southeast is overcrowded, thieves are on the rise, and immigrants are leaving, which can solve the pressure on all sides.

With the migration of a large number of foreign soldiers and civilians, the thousands of Song people on the original island, and some natives, have become the small part of the population.

In the northern harbor, several warships were moored, and the sergeants were on standby. In another harbor, several civilian merchant ships are unloading their goods at the port, all of which are daily necessities such as vegetables and meat, which are all sent by merchants from Quanzhou Port.

As long as it is profitable, there will be people who wade into the sea to pursue profits, and besides, there is indeed a need for so many supplies on the island.

During this period, officials of the Great Song Dynasty also landed on the island to clarify its sovereignty, but he refused to bomb it away, showing no mercy.

If you have the ability, you will take it, and whoever has a hard fist will have the right to speak.

There is no diplomacy for a weak country!

This is what Wang Song said to him.

If you want to gain dignity and face, you can only do it once and for all through iron and blood conquests, military attacks, and cultural assimilation.

As for the Great Song Dynasty, it has repeatedly lost its land and people, ceded land and paid compensation, lost power and humiliated the country, and lost all face, and there is still half of the Heavenly Empire!

In this world, in the end, it is still the loyal army, Wang Song, sooner or later he will be the lord of the world!

"General, something happened, the Tainan Reclamation Bureau came to report, there was a conflict between the people of the reclamation and the local natives, more than a dozen people died, countless injuries were injured, and the local officials sent people to negotiate, and they were detained!"

The soldier came in to report, and Li Bao's face sank suddenly.

The old order and tranquility were broken, and the soldiers and civilians cultivated the land on the island, which inevitably disturbed the lives of the original indigenous people on the island, and was therefore attacked by the natives.

This is exactly what Li Bao can't tolerate. No one can delay the major task of reclaiming wasteland and farmland.

The local tribes drank blood, slashed and burned, and enslaved the people. The loyal and righteous army built roads and bridges, organized the people to cultivate the fields and divide the land, and cultivated the fields, and the hearts of the people at the bottom of the island fluctuated, and the interests of these tribal leaders were damaged, so they were naturally not allowed. Thinking that the empty wasteland was their own private property, it is tolerable that someone wants to rob them of their land and win over their subordinates.

Earlier, the Han people in Fujian landed on the island and reclaimed the barren land, which had made these tribes and natives full of complaints. Now that Li Bao's army has landed on the island, it has directly touched their interests, and the amount of wasteland reclamation in their place is huge, and under the bewitchment and instigation of the tribal leaders and leaders, the Han people are either killed or injured, and the people sent by the government to negotiate have also been beaten back by them.

The Xuanfu Department issued a decree, and a large number of officials seconded from various places under the Xuanfu Department poured in one after another, building roads and bridges, reclaiming wasteland, building water conservancy, and mining and mining.

Li Bao's face was pale, it turned out that he still wanted to save some face for these tribes, but now it seems that he is going to be ruthless.

For the loyal and righteous army, of course, they cannot tolerate the existence of such a country within a country, let alone their sabotage and obstruction of the great plan of the loyal and righteous army.

It was only these tribal leaders and nobles who were hostile to the Han Chinese, and if they wanted the people at the bottom to live a good life, they had to be uprooted.

The glamorous and ghostly, the clown who jumped the beam, actually dared to come out and make waves, and he didn't look at whose world this was!

"Pass the order, let Li Zhuang lead the troops there, first let the general go to the tribes to persuade him, if he is willing, he will be appeased, and hand over the murderer, that is, there is no need to use soldiers. Otherwise......"

A cold light shot out of Li Bao's eyes. If anyone dares to make waves, he will be merciless.
