Chapter 869: Nanyang Feudal State

A new batch of reinforcements from the Tianzhu Expeditionary Force is already being formed. The number of this group was not large, because of the long distance between the two sides and the inconvenient logistical supply, it was doomed to the war of Lu Qi against Chula, and the decision point was in the South Seas rather than the Central Plains.

It is impossible for Lu Qian to form a huge transport fleet for the sake of a big war against Zhu Luo, regardless of the conscription of civilian merchant ships, and continuously send domestic army materials to the battlefield. That would cause China's current maritime trade order to be in turmoil, and thus suffer a major setback in its commercial interests.

Therefore, the number of these support forces is not large, but more symbolic. Li Bao, the commander of the detachment headed by him, is a newcomer who has emerged in the naval army in recent years, and he is also a Qilu person.

In this battle, the main force of the naval army of the Chola War was the Western Naval Division and the Nanyang Naval Division, and the main force of the army was the Nanyang feudal states.

The Ministry of War has long set up a material reserve in Nanyang, and even a military factory has been set up in the Bow Arc Islands, where sulfur and saltpeter are all sent after purification, including barrels of granulated powder.

Therefore, it is said that it is a military factory, but it is actually lame, and it is more of a processing factory.

The casting of lead bullets, artillery shells and the production of grenades are their mission.

As for whether the feudal states of Nanyang are willing to fight and kill for Lu Qi, the answer is absolutely yes. First, because the time is still short, the rulers of each feudal country are still the first generation, and they are either loyal to Emperor Lu or afraid, and it is impossible to be disobedient; Second, after they arrived at the feudal state, they understood that support from the Central Plains was indispensable.

The latter, both in terms of manpower and material, made it impossible for the feudal states of Nanyang to give up.

Emperor Lu, who was engaged in a grading system in the Qi army, could not let go of overseas feudalism? How much you pay and how much you reap, rights and responsibilities coexist, this has always been the concept that Emperor Lu adheres to.

Whether it is a principality, a hou state, a county state, or a lower-level existence, each level has a basic score, and there is a sub-list. Then the categories are also compared to each of them and have the treatment they deserve. In this way, transparency has been greatly increased, and what you get is more than you contribute, and what you get less is less contributed, and conflicts have erupted between provinces.

The income of "poor households" is increasing year by year, from the initial debt to the later low-income people. Taking Qilu as an example, for a period of time, families with a per capita annual income of less than 50 yuan were all classified as poor households, which means that they may be immigrated to the frontier or even 'distributed' overseas.

At that time, the USCIS had a basic amount for each year. It is then shared among the provinces, which are then distributed to the state capital, which then exerts pressure on the counties, which in turn distribute them to the townships. One level presses one level, so that people have no reason to talk about it.

Up to now, Lu Qichao's immigration bureau is a place where people have been poked in the back when they are mentioned, much like the one when they were rabbits. Lack of virtue with smoke.

Emperor Lu didn't know about this matter at the earliest, because this kind of thing was a provincial government affair of Qilu, and it would not be sent to him after reporting to the cabinet. Even though half of the provinces in the Central Plains began to be influenced by Lu Qi and introduced such regulations, Emperor Lu still did not know about it. It wasn't until two years later that the incident of infant drowning broke out again in Qilu, for a simple reason, that is, to reduce the family size in order to keep the per capita income from falling below the red line of 50 yuan.

After the incident broke out, Emperor Lu was furious, and the Qilu officialdom was shaken.

It was Lee Kong who was restrained. Because the reason why Zhang Xiaochun was able to overpower Guo Yong and easily take over as the governor of Qilu was because of his influence. Now it is time to hold him accountable, and Li Guang will also follow suit.

could have entered the cabinet, but as a result, he was directly out of the popular candidates for the head of the household department, and only after serving as the governor of Jawa did he return to the Central Plains to become the governor of Liaodong. Shengsheng has delayed the future!

And Zhang Xiaochun himself is still nesting in Japan now.

Time has passed year by year, and the policy has been improved step by step. What remains unchanged is Emperor Lu's heart of "immigrating to the real side".

Under the coercion of the general environment, the people of the Central Plains were also forced to develop more industrious habits. In order to improve family income and not be sent to difficult households, Hugh said that it is a small citizen of the town, and the farmers in the countryside are using their spare time to go out to work for a short time.

The labor market in the Central Plains has relieved a lot of pressure.

However, the limitations of this labor force are too great, at least the construction department directly under the Ministry of Industry is a labor force that lacks labor.

You must know that not counting the traditional Han region, the northeast, northwest, and southwest are all short of people. It's just an official road building, I don't know how much hair has been lost by the nine-tailed turtle.

To get back to the point, the feudal state of Nanyang has a stable 'immigration' acceptable every year, and can also use the 'mortgage' model to get money, food, material armor and real money from Lu Qi.

A combined army of 20,000 men has gathered at the westernmost tip of the Malay Peninsula.

The leader of the army was none other than Wang Yin, the military secretary of the Ming Kingdom.

Among the countries of the South Seas, the current political pattern is one superpower and many powers. Fang Lajun is a well-deserved leader, its national state is the earliest, and its strength is the most well-preserved. Unlike Wang Qing and Zhong Xiangjun, there was an infighting in Dali, and the two forces almost played out a dog's brain, which provoked Emperor Lu to thunder, and naturally took Dali as his own, while Wang Qing and Zhong Xiang were kicked to Myanmar and Thailand in later generations.

The great battle not only ruined the plot of the two for the treasure land of Dali, but also caused the two sides to lose their troops, and the leaders of the conflict, Wang Qingjun's Li Yi and Du Bai, Wang Qingjun's Yang Qi and Yang Qin, were all imprisoned by Emperor Lu.

Wang Qing and Zhong hated each other to the core, although they also wished that they could stab each other to death with a knife, but they blatantly fought each other, did they treat Yidu as nothing?

Neither of them said a good word for them. So much so that Li Ying and his wife were imprisoned for several years before they were freed. Several people could not and did not want to work for Wang Qingzhong Xiang anymore, so they went their separate ways, either to the Eight Banners or to the Nanyang Naval Division.

No one could guess the truth inside, and thought that Wang Qing and Zhong Xiang were unlucky.

The two of them suffered this catastrophe, their strength was damaged a lot, and they wasted a lot of time, wasted financial resources and energy, and when Wen Huanzhang, Chai Jin, Li Jun and others also divided Nanyang, they swept away Bagan and the queen kingdom.

The day of the founding of the country was sluggish, and its own strength was even more lost, and the national strength was naturally inferior to that of the Ming Principality. But it's not weak!

This is how the South Seas are now divided. Lu Qi is high above them, completely beyond their level, only to say that among the various feudal states in Nanyang, the Ming Principality is the strongest, and this coalition army is dominated by the Ming Principality.

Their target was Ceylon, which would later be Sri Lanka.

In this war with Zhu Luo, Emperor Lu's goal was very clear, one was to occupy three or two ports on the Tianzhu continent as a breakthrough for China to set foot on the Tianzhu continent.

The second is to seize Ceylon and turn it into a rocker and bridgehead for China to operate the Tianzhu region.

The local Sinhalese would be Luqi's right-hand man in controlling Ceylon, as they were now ruled by the Tamils. The latter was the main ethnic group of the Chola state, and Ceylon was also conquered by the Chola state in the last hundred years.

A small number of Tamils ruled the majority of the Sinhalese as an alien race, and they believed in Brahmins and severely cracked down on Buddhism, many temples were destroyed, and monks were forced to convert. The Ceylon Buddhism, which once flourished for thousands of years, has now vanished.

Whether it is a national grudge or a fierce conflict in faith, the Sinhalese people will become Lu Qi's best helpers.
