In the north, when the Northern Song Dynasty and the Liao State were in full swing, Ding Haijun remained calm, and even after negotiating with Han Qi about the conditions for immigration, there was no change.

After several years of development, the Ding Navy has become a very modern city, and with the development of the Ryukyus, in a certain sense, the industrial center of the entire Ding Navy will be placed in the Ryukyus in the future.

At present, the Ryukyus have built a huge industrial base with an annual output of 300,000 tons of steel and 1 million tons of cement, and basically, it has reached one-twentieth of the total industrial volume of the Ding Navy.

Don't underestimate this number, Ding Haijun is with the support of Zhao Xin, with the help of huge funds and orders, the leapfrog development has developed, and the Ryukyus have only been developing for a long time, and a complete industrial system has been established, and once this industrial system is operational, the speed of expansion will be faster.

If it is the people of the Northern Song Dynasty, they must first go to the Ding Navy, and after screening, and gradually strengthen management and training, they will be sent to the Ryukyus.

A Ding Navy with only more than 300 square kilometers, how much strength can he have, even if there are many special things, the population is also quite large, and it is easy to be ignored, but it is almost the same size as a large county in the Ryukyus, then it is different, Zhao Xin's sensitive identity, perhaps where the low-level and middle-level officials are, is not so obvious, but the high-level, including the officials of the six departments, that does not know.

If you can avoid being discovered, you can avoid it, of course, it really can't be avoided, it doesn't matter to Zhao Xin, at present, everything is developing very well in the Ding Navy, as long as you spend more than 3 years, basically, the people who come to the Ding Navy, seventy or eighty percent will not run, as for 5 to 10 years later, they may fight for the Ding Navy.

Until then, stabilization is the best option, especially if the progress of thermal weapons is very smooth.

According to the history that Zhao Xin knew, the emergence of thermal weapons immediately hung cold weapons, and the army with thermal weapons could win a war with a considerable disparity in casualty ratio, even if it was an elite army, in the face of hot weapons, unless it was a special reason such as weather, or negligence on the part of one side, otherwise, there would be no effect, and the winner would definitely be on the side of the thermal weapon.

Zhao Xin because he skipped the arquebus and some rudimentary front-loading guns, similar to the Opium War period, Britain went deep inland, encountered rainy days, and the final defeat was impossible, the combination of rear-loading guns and flintlock guns, as long as it is closed, the impact of rain is greatly reduced, in the future, if you can do a good job of metal fixed ammunition, you can not be afraid of rain.

Metal fixed ammunition, this is a huge leap after the appearance of firearms, before that, firearms are also affected by rain, even how closed the weapon is, in the rain will be affected, when installed, the barrel must be wiped dry.

Similarly, even if it is a paper shell fixed ammunition, he greatly increases the rate of fire of thermal weapons, but it is only a few times to the extent, after the appearance of machine guns, thermal weapons have become group charges, and cavalry dream demons.

The bullets of thermal weapons are a gradual development process, from the initial gunpowder bag and iron sand, to the customized tools in the back, to the paper shell fixed ammunition, and then to the metal fixed ammunition in the back, along the way, the speed is getting higher and higher, and the difficulty of production is also increasing.

Zhao Xin actually has a direction, and even knows some basic structures of gunpowder, collide with a primer, excite the force, ignite the gunpowder, and then push the warhead to fly forward, which is a basic feature of the bullet, on this basis, the gradual development can be, and even in a sense, Zhao Xin already knows the best materials for making bullets, copper and smokeless gunpowder, which are both solved, plus small stamping equipment, basically, it is only a matter of time to make metal fixed ammunition.

Once the metal fixed ammunition is produced, then all the strong armies in the era of cold weapons are a joke, personal martial arts, as long as they do not reach the level of superhuman, will not change the laws of nature, after all, people are flesh and blood, and there is no way to fight against steel.

For this reason, Zhao Xin has full confidence in the use of force, as long as there are enough resources, enough manpower and material resources, it is a big deal to send a group of troops, all the way to the past, in his opinion, if you can accept it smoothly, you can accept it smoothly, it really can't work, he is not such a pedantic person.

The Han and Liao people in the north, these were originally the captives of the Northern Song Dynasty, perhaps, when there was no Ding Navy to adopt this method, Han Qi would choose to slowly eliminate and fight, suppress a group, win over a group, divide and disintegrate, and use the same method of immigration to disperse and dissolve the forces here, it may take 5 years, or even 10 years, to be able to gradually sweep away.

With the method of immigration, you can still get money, which is like a tiger for Han Qi who wants to do a career.

Divide the vicinity of Youzhou into different districts, check the population, and in the same way, forcibly escort them, and clean up one village and one village until the people here are cleared up.

There is no place that is easier to manage than the blank one, and this is the case in the northwest, where the barren and impoverished northwest, with the support of funds, a water conservancy project, changes everything.

Relatively speaking, the north is easier to manage, and in itself, the province of Zhejin is the core of the north, and the Yellow River passes here, as well as the Haihe River and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

These lots, because there is no trimming relationship, have been dilapidated, but as long as there is money, it can still be dredged, its own natural foundation, plus the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and various water systems, as long as a little operation, here is fertile land.

The Northern Song Dynasty has been peaceful for a long time, and there has been no war for many years, and the result is that in the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty, land annexation began to appear and was serious, which Han Qi has never shied away from, and his own family is also a big family, occupying such a advantage.

However, in order to slow down, to give the common people a mouthful of food, they must be given a mouthful of food, and it is necessary to balance the land, so that the population of the homesteaders who own the land increases, and this is the foundation of the stability of the dynasty.

Ding Haijun also had developed commercial and trade activities in the Northern Song Dynasty, in fact, in these years, farming was not the only way out.

The population of Ding Haijun is almost always the poorest, although it only radiates 1,000 miles, but it includes seven or eight roads of territory, which are almost all densely populated areas, and the departure of their weakest population is also very important for local stability.

These hidden things, if you don't have a clear-eyed person and see them in the overall scope, it is impossible to know, even Han Qi.

However, if you can become a high-ranking official, almost all of them are from the imperial examination, and they know history and all kinds of learning.

Land annexation, population growth, this is a stubborn disease of the development of the empire, and there is no fruitful change, but if the land of the dynasty increases, it will alleviate it.

The expansion of land in the northwest has increased the land and grassland area of the Northern Song Dynasty on a large scale, and it has also allowed many landless and landless farmers to have a way to live, but no matter how much the Hetao Plain in the northwest is, it cannot be compared with Youyun, which itself was once the land of Shandong in the Han and Tang Dynasties, and it was also a fertile land, which fell into the hands of the Northern Song Dynasty, as long as there is a reasonable development of funds, it will definitely not be worse than Hedong and Hebei, and even when the entire basin of the Yellow River is under control, it is also very helpful for the governance of the Yellow River.

The Yellow River, the mother river of the Central Plains civilization, once gave birth to the splendid Chinese civilization and became the source of the disaster.

In the previous dynasties, whether it was Chang'an, or Luoyang, the influence of the Yellow River was not great, but Tokyo was next to the Yellow River, and in the history of less than a hundred years, only the water of the Yellow River flooded Tokyo, there were several times, not to mention the diversion, and the large-scale diversion was almost a disaster.

After Ye Qingchen, with the support of Zhao Xin and the Northwest War Bureau, he withdrew funds and carried out certain reforms.

For example, the dredging of farmland and water conservancy construction in the north is the governance of the entire Yellow River water system, and now, when Youzhou falls into the hands of the Northern Song Dynasty, it will definitely be better to govern the Yellow River as a whole.

The immigration work has begun, first of all, those prisoners, in the entire Youzhou, in the battles of various states and counties, there are similar to Zhejin Mansion, big fights, tens of thousands of people, and small ones, after all, the troops on the Nanjing side are almost deployed, and the rest are mostly some local armed forces and nursing homes and the like.

In this part, under the premise of facing the forbidden army of the Northern Song Dynasty, they had only one choice, that is, to be captured, and in the entire war of Youyun, a total of more than 50,000 people were captured.

These people who can be selected as soldiers may have such and such problems, and some of them cannot be called soldiers at all, but one thing is certain, they are all young and strong.

These people, as well as their families, were formed into a whole, and gradually screened and screened, and in the end, 42,000 were made, and it was 7,000 groups.

Ding Navy's fleet, transporting supplies, arrived at Tanggu, and it was about to leave, and after talking to Han Qi, he heard that the personnel were nearby, so he waited for a few days.

The young and strong captives were sent from Zhejin Prefecture, and most of them lived closer to Tanggu, and with their families, it only took 4 days to complete the concentration.

Under the background of the war, under the premise of a large population, including the elderly and children, how many cruel things will be in it, of course, Ding Haijun will not find fault, what he asks for is to obtain enough population.

Nearly 100 big ships, a total of 42,000 people, on average, each ship, only put 420 people, which is more than enough, and even in a certain sense, a big ship with ten thousand materials, he is enough to accommodate thousands of people, if it is a little squeezed, 2,000 people, it may not be impossible.

The Ding Navy is not a European slave trader, and the desire for population will not dry up to deal with every captive, and it is necessary to ensure sufficient space and provisions, and in the same way, this is not the kind of transshipment from Africa across the Atlantic, but from Tanggu to the Ryukyus, even if it does not pass through the Ding Navy, it is only a voyage of more than 2,000 miles, which is a very short transportation.

Not to mention the dazed nature of these captives, even Han Qi doesn't know why the Ding Navy needs so many people, as far as he knows, the Ding Navy is only more than 300 square kilometers, which is a very small area.

Ding Haijun's answer is just that people are needed in the factory, this explanation, even if Han Qi doesn't understand it very well, but he can accept it, in his opinion, in a huge house, densely packed with people working, this is his cognition of Ding Haijun, this cognition still comes from the Daimyo's mansion.

At that time, the Daimyo Blacksmith Workshop, he went to see it in person, unlike the ordinary Manufacturing Department of the Ministry of Industry, there were countless blacksmith tables densely placed here, almost dense phobia, maybe it was because of this, so that Ding Haijun produced so many goods.

A total of 50 ships carried out this task, each ship, about 1,000 people, as well as a large number of supplies, and even the 10 ships that went back in advance will once again load a large number of supplies in the Ding Navy and converge with the entire fleet to ensure that there are sufficient supplies during the 2,000-mile voyage, as for the Ryukyus, they are ready and waiting for the arrival of these people at any time.

In the future, this transshipment task will last for several months, transporting all the people who can be transported from Youzhou to Ryukyu for a long distance, contributing to the development of Ryukyu.

Population, wealth, and raw materials are the foundation of an industrialized society, and the relatively weak grain production of the Ding Navy has also been slightly alleviated under the premise of purchasing and making a large amount of grain reserves, which is equivalent to saying that the Ding Navy is like a wild horse that has escaped and has the power to move forward.

At this booming juncture, Zhao Xin quietly returned to Ding Haijun, and with him, there was Xue Yu.

After all, Xue Yu was the main official on Ding's side of the navy, perhaps because the military did not have any tasks, so he was a little free, and he even participated in the transportation to the Liaodong Peninsula before.

This time, after coming back to sort out the situation of the military, he would set off again, because Zhao Xin had given him a task to organize a fleet, a fleet of at least 20 ships, equipped with a large number of weapons, and with the most elite crew.

This fleet is not Zhao Xin's use to open up the territory, this is the 11th century, this is the East Asian region, in the whole of Asia, even in the world, there is no country in the sea capability, can be compared with the Ding Navy era, the occupation of the island, is just a march, as long as you get to the side of the island, put the army down, and establish a solid base, this is not very difficult.

This task was given to Xue Yu, what was needed was to go deep into the ocean, and the purpose was very simple, whaling.
