Although Zhen Shi has never been to the Ryukyu Islands and Taiwan Island, many merchant ships have arrived at the Ryukyu Islands due to various reasons such as storms and deviations. A long time ago, Zhen Shi began to collect information about the large and small Ryukyu Islands from all sides, and he knew no less information than Zhen Jiu, and even formulated a landing plan as early as a year ago, but it did not take place because the conditions were not yet ripe.

The biggest harvest of the Yangzhou Rebellion was to obtain hundreds of thousands of gold and silver, although there were many jewelry and antiques in it that were difficult to realize for a while, but the currency of gold and silver was made into gold and silver coins by the money bank, who would have thought of the real source of gold and silver?

With sufficient funds, the speed of Zhen Shi's development within half a year can be described as flying, which is naturally fueled by the reasons for the great drought in Huainan, and now Zhen Shi's strength has expanded more than three times compared to Zhen Qian's time in Yangzhou, and he has four 500-stone sea ships in his hands, and has successfully occupied a bay on the Shengsi Islands, and has relocated more than 3,000 displaced people, and the population strength alone has steadily ranked first in the Shengsi Islands.

With money, ships, and the support of the population, Zhen Shi has already begun to plan to pass through the large and small Ryukyu Islands.

Although he was sent to the Wa Kingdom by Wang Qun this time, Zhen Shi was also ready to meet Zhen Qian, hoping that his plan could be supported by Zhen Qian.

If it weren't for the long and dangerous sea route, the population problem that plagued Zhen Qian would not be a problem at all!

In addition to not being detected by the local government, the two most important factors for large-scale migration are: time and boats.

During the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty, the population of the government has exceeded eighty or ninety million, in fact, this number will increase by four or five percent in Zhen Qian's eyes, and many historians in later generations have verified that before the Anshi Rebellion, the population of the Tang Dynasty should be about 120 million. This number may not seem like much today, but considering the productivity of Datang at that time, this number is very staggering.

A husband who does not plow or suffer from hunger, and a woman who does not weave or suffer from cold.

This is a true portrayal of the ancient small peasant society, the increase in population itself has a higher demand for land, but at this time the Tang Dynasty has entered the peak, land annexation is inevitable, relatively speaking, the industrial and commercial economy of the Tang Dynasty is far less developed than the Song Dynasty, and the displaced people who have lost their land can not enter the industry and commerce, but have become a burden and unstable factor in society.

When the displaced people appeared, the states and counties of the Tang Dynasty were unable to settle these displaced people, so they could only let these displaced people beg everywhere, and many of them became slaves in the local powerful families because of their livelihoods, and then these powerful people encroached on more land, forcing more yeoman farmers to leave their homes without land to plant.

The appearance of natural disasters became the last straw that crushed the backs of the homesteaders, and these displaced people wandered around the land of the Tang Dynasty, and some of them were secretly collected by Zhen Shi and transported to the Shengsi Islands.

Officials in various prefectures and counties are very afraid of the appearance of the displaced people, and they are happy to see the disappearance of the displaced people, but how to transport the displaced people overseas on a large scale has always been a difficult problem that Zhen Qian cannot avoid.

The Tang Dynasty was only the early stage of the development of maritime transportation in history, the ships of this era were generally small and slow, and the sea routes were not smooth, even a thousand stone sea ships could only transport four or five hundred people, from the Shengsi Islands to the Qiumei Island of the Ryukyu Islands, even if the use of a thousand stone flyships also took twenty days, a round trip is at least two months, a thousand stone flyships can transport two or three thousand people a year is good, which also takes into account the factors such as storms and bad weather at sea, in fact, there are more difficulties than these.

This is the main reason why Zhen Qian vetoed Zhen 31's development of Keelung Port.

It is impossible to transport a large number of displaced people from the Tang Dynasty overseas, Zhen Qian is now occupying more islands and enclaves, and people are social social animals, if there are no thousands of people in one place as support, needless to say, it is impossible to even gain a firm foothold.

Zhen Shi's words made Zhen Qian open another window, Zhen Qian was worried that there were too few Tang people and could not dominate the immigration, but he was actually worried that the local natives would affect the assimilated Tang people.

Zhen Shi believes that this is completely unnecessary, as long as a part of the local indigenous people is relocated to other islands, breaking up the local indigenous way of life in the form of tribes, forming a multi-ethnic mixed island dominated by the Tang people, dividing and isolating the ties between the various indigenous people, and at the same time constantly transporting people from the Tang Dynasty, the population of the indigenous people will be ...... lower than the number of the Tang people in a few years.

The key is that it can be implemented right away!

Tanegashima and Yakushima were in a short period of time, and Zhen Qian couldn't transport more Tang people from the Tang Dynasty to reclaim the land, so it was indeed a pity to waste it there.

If you can transport some natives from the Ryukyu Islands to the Osumi Islands, add some Japanese and Silla people, and send a group of Tang people to teach the natives to grow crops, even if the yield is low, it will be much better than producing nothing.

Zhen Qian looked at Zhen Shi with appreciative eyes, he didn't expect Zhen Shi to think of such a good and feasible plan, "You came up with this plan?" ”

"Not exactly!" Zhen Shi grinned, looked back at Zhen Eighty-seven beside him, and said: "The original plan proposed by Eighty-seven, when I was in the Wufeng Islands, I communicated with Thirty-one and perfected this plan, Zhen Ten didn't dare to take credit!" ”

"Ugh!"

Zhen Qian knew that Zhen Thirty-one was obsessed with the development of Keelung Port, but he didn't expect Zhen Thirty-one to come up with such a bold plan, and then looked at Zhen Eighty-seven on the side and said: "This plan is good, but who are you going to send to implement it?" ”

Zhen Shi knew that Zhen Qian had already approved this plan, so he said boldly: "I am going to recommend Zhen Eighty-Seven and Zhen Thirty-one to the master to carry out this plan, and at the same time, I also hope to get the help of ships and troops from the Wufeng Islands...... ”

"How much? Is there not much help that the Five Peaks Islands can provide at the moment? ”

Zhen Shi already knew the current situation of the Wufeng Islands, and thought about it in his heart: "Master, I am going to launch a surprise attack on Qiumei Island in the Ryukyu Islands first, and I need three cargo ships and a thousand soldiers in the early stage, as for the immigrants from Qiumei Island and Keelung Port, I am going to transport them from the Shengsi Islands, and after occupying Qiumei Island, I can ......leave five hundred soldiers and two hundred craftsmen to help build the city, and the whole war will be over within three or four months." ”

The Wufeng Islands are the focus of Zhen Qian's overseas development, and he does not want his troops and material resources to be drained by Zhen Shi all at once, so Zhen Qian will act prudently and prudently, and even if there is a great temptation, if there may be hidden dangers, Zhen Qian will not hesitate to give up.

There is a tribal alliance on Qiumei Island, although its combat effectiveness is not strong, but if he and Zhen Shi play guerrilla tactics and want to completely occupy Qiumei Island with a thousand soldiers, it will be difficult to do it without more than half a year. At the same time, Zhen Shi also wants to migrate the natives on Qiumei Island, and the backlash is certain, unless Zhen Shi is ready to see one and kill the other, then Huairou must do it.
