The battle on the grassland was not over yet, far south of the land of China, in Kinmen, Quanzhou Prefecture, Fujian, a fleet of the People's Navy escorted troop transports slowly heading southeast, and the People's Navy's target was the Penghu Islands, which were 300 miles away, and Dongfan, behind the Penghu Islands.

It can be seen from the historical records that the ancients already knew the existence of Dongfan, and the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period called Dongfan "Daoyi", the Qin Dynasty called "Yingzhou", the Three Kingdoms period called "Yizhou", and the Sui Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty called "Liuqiu".

After the middle of the Ming Dynasty, there were many folk names for Dongfan, such as "chicken coop" (referring to the north of Dongfan), "Beigang" (the common name of the western coast of Dongfan), "Dayuan", "Taiyuan", "Taiwowan", and the Ming court called "Dongfan".

During the Xia and Shang periods, Dongfan belonged to Yangzhou in Kyushu, and when the book "Shangshu Yugong" was written, Dongfan was already within the jurisdiction of Huaxia.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan, the lord of Wu, "sent the general Wei Wen and Zhuge Zhi's general Jiashi to float in the sea...... Thousands of people in Deyizhou were returned. "The "Chronicles of the Soil of the Sea in Linhai" by Shen Ying, the Taishou of Danyang in Eastern Wu, records in detail the production and life forms of Dongfan at that time.

In the Sui Dynasty, the contact between the mainland and the east increased, and Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty sent Zhu Kuan, Chen Ling and others to Liuqiu three times, and in the late Tang and early Song dynasties from the 9th to the 10th centuries, Han people began to settle in Penghu.

During the Song and Yuan dynasties, the Han people had a considerable number in Penghu, and the Han people began to develop to the east after opening up Penghu, bringing advanced production technology, and in the middle of the 2nd century, the Southern Song Dynasty assigned Penghu to the jurisdiction of Jinjiang County, Fujian Road, and sent troops to defend it.

The Yuan Dynasty further strengthened the management of Dongfan, Yuan Shizu had sent personnel to Dongfan Xuanfu, and set up the Penghu Inspection Department in Penghu, which belonged to Tong'an County, Quanzhou Road, Fujian.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Penghu Inspection Department was still set up, until it was abolished in 1387 due to the implementation of the sea ban, and the residents were moved to Zhangzhou and Quanzhou, and in 1563, considering the coastal security and other factors, the Penghu Inspection Department was re-established.

The People's Army listed Dongfan as Dongfan City, which is temporarily under the jurisdiction of Fujian Province, and will be listed as a separate province if necessary in the future.

In terms of population, the current population of Dongfan is only about a few tens of thousands, and it is only a population of a small and medium-sized county in the land of China.

There are two main points that the People's Army attaches to Dongfan, the first is the understanding of the top level of the People's Army, that is, the land of Dongfan.

The total area of Dongfan is about 36,000 square kilometers, which is roughly divided into five major terrains: mountains, hills, basins, plains and terraces, and arable land accounts for 24%, that is, 8,600 square kilometers/13 million mu of arable land, and the entire Guangdong Province is only 35 million mu of arable land, and the land of Dongfan is enough to feed one million families and about five million people.

It should be noted that the soil of these arable land in Dongfan is fertile, warm and moist, which is very conducive to farming, and the agricultural production efficiency is very high, and it can be harvested twice to three times a year.

The Chinese are reluctant to leave the homeland where they were born and raised, but it also depends on the situation, as long as there are enough benefits, they can be allowed to immigrate to a farther place to live a better life.

Compared to the cold winter in the north, there is no doubt that the climate in Dongfan is better, and the People's Military Government has prepared a plan to immigrate to Dongfan, as long as the user's family is willing to immigrate to Dongfan, adults can get ten acres of land, minors can get five acres of land, and the worst is also medium land.

In the land of China, the rules set by the People's Army can be implemented normally in most areas of four acres of fields for adults and two acres of fields for minors, but not in some areas where there are few fields and large populations, and the local People's Army government can only re-divide the land according to the area and population of the land, in fact, the best choice is to move the excess population to other places.

Just doubling the amount of land allocated is enough to impress a small group of people, and the People's Army government intends to allocate an average of one cow per household to help farmers plow the land.

Even the People's Military Government intends to let the immigrants move in with their bags, the houses are all built, with a few pieces of furniture, and the primary schools that have not yet been universalized throughout the country must be built, and the immigrants only need to move in with the courtesy, and there are wide roads connecting the villages with the cities.

The People's Army government's plan to emigrate to Dongfan is not small, but it will take at least a year to officially start implementing it, and before that, there are too few people living in Dongfan, and the KPA needs to first actually occupy Dongfan, establish military bases in various important areas of Dongfan, and then mobilize a large number of coolies to build cities, roads, villages, etc.

It was relatively easy for the People's Army to occupy Dongfan, there were not many enemies in Dongfan, and the total population of Dongfan was only tens of thousands, and it was still dominated by aborigines, distributed throughout Dongfan.

Of course, it is relatively easy to occupy Dongfan initially, but it will be a lot of trouble to completely control Dongfan, and all dynasties have not developed Dongfan, and there is no decent road.

The People's Navy first occupied the Penghu Islands, then went around the east, chose a suitable place to land and establish wharves and military bases, and then built towns and even cities on the basis of military bases, and then built roads and villages in the interior of Dongfan with towns and cities as the center.

When the immigrant population increases greatly and the degree of development of Dongban increases, the final step can be carried out to connect the various towns and cities in Dongban with roads.

In addition to the fertile land of Dongfan, there is another point that only Fang Nan knows, Western countries have entered the Age of Discovery, and there are even Western countries that plan to capture Dongfan in the future, and it is uncertain whether Western countries will want to occupy Dongfan earlier because of the emergence of the People's Army.

The KPA needs to be prepared in Dongfan first, the fleets of Western countries are coming from afar, even if the fleet is stronger, it is impossible to capture Dongfan, and with the current combat strength of the KPA, no enemy can defeat the KPA in land warfare.

In the future, the People's Army will invest more resources in the development of the navy, and through the efforts of the steamship project team, the world's first steamship can sail on the surface for a long time without problems.

Seeing the research progress of the ship, Fang Nan told the ship project team about the propeller idea and asked them to conduct research.

The steamship project team has almost eaten transparent steamship technology, and it will be easier to study dark steamers using propellers at this time.

In the future, the People's Navy will mainly be equipped with dark steamers and warships, crisscrossing the sea, and no matter how the development of sailboats is, they will be limited by the wind force and direction.

At present, the entire land of China has almost been occupied by the People's Army, and there is only less than half a year left, the People's Army will be founded, and the central government of the People's Army is also busy moving to Wuchang City.
