In addition to castles, grasslands, fertile fields, and abundant materials, such as wood for shipbuilding, Zheng Chenggong has a lot of primitive wood stored here, all of which are huge ships and trees in some mountains for a hundred years, which is cheap for the Huaxia Army, Zheng Chenggong can't take these, he doesn't have so much capacity, the only thing left is the population, Zheng Chenggong put the population here about 300,000 people, plus some ancient exiled to the remnants of the previous dynasty, all got.

Zheng Chenggong understands very well that for a force to rise, the population is quite important.

Both the old and the young were taken away, and not even a single population was left for the Huaxia Army, which is not afraid, the Huaxia Army took so many prisoners, nearly a million prisoners, and there were also 300,000 people who could be converted, all of them were transferred, and those hundreds of thousands of hard laborers were also transferred.

Zhu Dayou meant that the hard labor of the hard labor camp went to those high mountains, rivers, and dense mountains and forests to open up mountains and pioneers, and it was not a pity to die a lot, but it could give the Huaxia army its best efforts to make more suitable places for human habitation.

These places are guarded by the militia and the garrison company, and the head of the overseer in the prisoner camp is selected to serve as the village chief or lieutenant chief, the town mayor, and the position of a new mountain village, so that they can live here for generations, and then select the families of those prisoners to be paired with them to form a family, the militia is to take root here, the garrison company is a mobile force, and it is possible that it will be transferred in the future, and the families of the militia will form a new local people with these people here.

The transferred population includes the displaced people and refugees in the war, as well as some poor families on the territory of the Huaxia Army, they came here as a landlord-like existence, and their net worth is innocent, which makes them superior, under the rule of the Huaxia Army, they are the new wealthy class, generally live in the county seat, in the camp, do not go to those high mountains and forests, the rivers are tortuous, and it is more difficult to survive.

Some of these officials and officials who volunteered to develop the area would become new rulers and settle here in the era of officials and generals.

Most of them were southerners from some open places along the southern coast, and there were also soldiers and civilians from the north who were forcibly assigned by the Huaxia Army, in order to prevent them from forming a geographical barrier between the south and the north and forming a new hatred.

Over time, after three months, about a million migrants filled any of the county seats, camps, and villages here, and new mountain villages, villages, were formed by captives and prisoners of the forced labor camps.

On the sea side is the original base camp, where some temporary dwellings are first built, and then the governor's palace will allocate the population and resources, and after the county towns are filled, the camps will be new towns, and then the abandoned villages, and finally the hard labor battalions and militia troops will go over the mountains and mountains, across the rivers and forests, to those valleys and rivers that are beyond the reach of manpower, and into the dense forests.

This is the most difficult project, the terrain is treacherous, and the absence of human population means that you cannot survive, you are not suitable for survival, and there will be death.

In a month, more than 30 locations have been identified, and only seven of the various departments have successfully reached those locations, and the rest have not arrived for various reasons, or have died or disappeared.

All kinds of cases emerged one after another, and even Zhang Qiang was forced to come here to personally understand and guide the work.

Treasure Island can be seen from the map, from north to south, about a mountain range runs through the entire island, the east is close to the Ming Dynasty from west to east gradually higher, that is to say, the place suitable for human habitation is mainly the west coast to the inland extension, the area is extensive, accounting for about 24 percent of the island, the later generations of treasure island people once called the lowland people and the highland people, the lowland people mainly live on the coast beach and plains, the highland people mainly live in the hills and mountain peaks and valleys.

Now that I have come here, I have received Zheng Chenggong's legacy, mainly the twenty-four percent of the habitable lowlands and some hilly and mountainous areas in the west, and the valleys and plateaus will definitely not be able to go there for a while, and the east coastline that crosses the mountains also has more than ten percent of the living area, but it is far away from the Ming Dynasty, and it will not be able to pass for a while, but there are sailors stationed where to station and some prisoners and militias to form villages and camps on that side to defend against the invasion of enemies from the sea.

Sometimes, due to the topography and climate, and various objective reasons, some remote areas cannot be changed by human beings for a while.

From west to east, from low to high, five prefecture cities, one main city, according to the middle zone between the north and south, five county towns between the hills, fifty camps in the middle of the towns, towns, two hundred villages, twenty militia defense points, ten garrison battalions, thirty garrison company garrisons, occupy 20 percent of the habitable areas of the entire treasure island, and the other 80 percent are uninhabitable or temporarily inaccessible areas, and these areas will be opened up by prisoner camp criminals and prisoners of war in the hard labor camps.

The first men sent out at present were the first wave of about six thousand captives and soldiers of the militia, the militia, and the garrison company, and thirty miles of mountains, rivers, and dense forests near the edge of the most suitable areas for habitation.

Only seven of them were to be heard, and the trees were cut down to create villages, and then the soldiers sent by the garrison battalion would escort the prisoners and slaves to where to deliver food and supplies, and at the same time open up the road along the way, first with the machetes they carried with them, to open up a path, and then the convoys would move along the path, gradually widening the path with tools, cutting down some of the tall trees along the road, allowing the canoe to pass, and then using shovels to widen the dirt road where ox carts and mule and horse caravans could walk, and then Each time the team transporting supplies had to start the path from their starting point, widen it by at least one meter and extend it to a hundred meters, and then advance according to the original plan, and the same was true for the teams behind them, and each time they relayed a task, the Huaxia Army would not send special personnel to do these things.

After the dispatch team arrived there to build the cottage, the first step was to open up the road back from their side, they had to start from the beginning, starting from the planned width, at least the road that could parallel the two carriages of the Chinese army, it must be paved with gravel, tamped with stone grinding, at least a hundred meters away every day, and a layer can be completed on the first day, such as opening up the prototype of the road, cutting down the trees, and leveling the land the next day, pulling out weeds, paving the dust, flattening on the third day, forming within a week, otherwise, The team leader was demoted and transferred, and the officials below were subjected to military law, whipped and beaten, and the soldiers were dismissed and demoted to the head of the overseer, and the head of the overseer could not be beheaded.

If the prisoner fails to complete his sentence, he will be given a year, and at the same time he will be beaten with a board, whipped with a leather whip, and directly drawn to one out of ten with hard labor, and the same will be true for repeat offenders, until all the hard labor in this group is killed.

These things were supervised and done by the Governor of the Governor's Palace, and the garrisons, such as the field brigades, were only to guard against the enemy and to fight, and had nothing to do with them.

The governor can only manage the soldiers and militia of the garrison battalion, and has no right to interfere with how the army fights, and the army can only follow the governor's advice, and then cooperate with the governor to complete the task of suppressing bandits and suppressing them.

Zheng Chenggong left behind one of the four largest islands in the world, and also expanded the territory of China in the future, reducing disputes, which is his greatest achievement.
