The Lü military group's behavior of fulfilling the contract made King Zhang Anguo very happy.

3,000 families of immigrants took 10 passenger and cargo ships to the Badaohe seaport one after another.

In the resettlement camp, King Zhang Anguo and Queen Zhang Anguo visited them quietly and cordially...... This was a large, organized and planned migration, and wherever they were settled, it would make it a place with a strong Song Dynasty style and the characteristics of a federal empire.

In the specific placement, King Zhang Anguo had to split them into three parts.

One is to immigrate to the nearest Manila City...... Wang Defa was planned to accommodate a population of 500,000 for the time being.

In addition, the medium-term target is to reach 1 million, and in the long term to reach 2 million.

When he began to build the city of Manila, he didn't bother to relocate the site, and built it directly according to the direction of the world.

This megacity is located on the eastern shore of Manila Bay on Luzon, the largest island in the Philippines.

The new city will be directly on the verge of a natural harbour...... Manila Bay.

In the future, the Port of Manila will replace the military port in the Badaohe area, because this Manila Bay, with an area of 1,940 square kilometers and a length of about 58 kilometers from northwest to southeast, is surrounded by two peninsulas from east to west, and the bay is deep into the interior...... In fact, it is almost completely enclosed for land.

The entrance to the entire bay is divided into two straits, the north and the south, which are relatively safe to navigate, with a width of two kilometers.

The north and northeast shores of the bay are connected to a large plain area, and the coastal waters are shallow, and the fishery resources are extremely rich.

The future Manila Naval Base is located in the easternmost part of Manila Bay, surrounded by a natural barrier formed by a peninsula and a mountain range, and there is no need to worry about security.

Moreover, the water depth there is 10 to 40 meters, and the tidal range changes little, so it should be able to be used as a thousand-year-old military port.

As for the southern strait, the water depth is generally about 15 meters, which is just right for a commercial port, judging from the largest seven-masted sea ship in the current Federal Empire...... Enough to dock a thousand ships at the same time!

In this way, there is Dengzhou Naval Base in the north, Manila Naval Base in the south, Tianzhu Marbury Naval Base in the west, Nankai Naval Base in Africa in the south, and Liberty Island Naval Base in Europe in the north...... Once the five naval bases are fully completed, it will be when the Federal Empire completes the first phase of the global layout...... The future development will depend on the efforts of the second generation of Crown Prince Zhang Zhansheng.

The layout of Yindi Anzhou in the north and south is not in a hurry for the time being...... Except for the Federal Empire, there is no force in this world that has the ability to touch it.

Regarding the corresponding urban construction, Wang Defa directly built the so-called Manila City directly across the Badao River, which was also built on both sides of a large river...... That big river was directly named the Manila River.

This way of construction is very familiar to the builders he brought over.

For convenience, Wang Defa has only developed the north bank of the Manila River for the time being, as it is mainly a plain area...... At that time, Wang Defa had people pour kerosene and burn a 50-kilometer radius of wasteland.

The fire burned for three days and nights, and the entire bay and river were covered with ash and vegetation...... No mosquitoes, bacteria, or viruses can survive such a situation!

After the fire was extinguished, what appeared in front of Wang Defa's eyes was a large new land covered with grass and ashes.

Wang Defa brought 2,000 professional construction personnel, as well as a large number of construction equipment and materials...... Since Manila City is only three or four days by sea from the Badaohe area, there is also an endless amount of funding available there.

Even the recruits recruited from the island and Shandong had to come here for training in "supporting workers and farmers."

In less than a year, a small city has emerged on the north bank of the Manila River with eight vertical and eight horizontal streets that can be used in parallel with eight four-wheeled carriages...... There were also no walls or forts...... At this time, there was no one in the world who was as eager for pirates or invasion of other armies as they were...... That's a lot of free labor.

According to the actual situation, Wang Defa first set an industrial development plan focusing on the coconut industry and hardwood harvesting and processing.

The abundance of coconut resources along the coast of Manila is outrageous!

Coconut wine, coconut oil and coconut flax products, as well as coconut shell charcoal, are all products that are very easy to sell...... The same goes for hardwood resources.

During the period of the founding of the city, Zhang Laoshi, the director of the factory, once came to inspect in person, he was wearing a big straw hat, a handkerchief around his neck, leading a few shipbuilding technicians, and carrying a few revolvers, and drilled into the forests around Manila.

Wang Defa also advised him to let the young man go...... He shook his head and refused, his son was among the few shipbuilders, but they were still young!

Director Zhang Laoshi knew in his heart that since Song Ziqiang, Wan Shida and others began to make big ironclad ships in the Badaohe Shipyard, it meant that the big wooden ships they had always looked down on might become more and more declining...... But Director Zhang was not convinced.

Without a big wooden boat, can there be Liuqiu Island today?

There is no big wooden ship to build a great merchant federation empire?!

He's still not convinced, you guys are building sailboats and big ironclad ships at the Badaohe Shipyard, can't I lead people to Manila City?!

Of course, the director of the factory knows that there is also abundant timber...... But I am worried that the wood on the island is not as good as the flow...... Not all hardwoods can be shipped.

The Queen of Tranquility inexplicably issued an order that drastically increased the price of timber harvesting on the island of Liuqiu!

Say what to protect the primeval forests of Liuqiu Island.

After hearing this, Director Zhang Laoshi felt aggrieved...... What can wood protect?

Wood is not used to build ships, and that is a huge waste...... This is obviously disgusted that I am building a sea ship on Liuqiu Island!

Director Zhang resigned from Wanshida in a fit of anger, saying that he was old and useless...... In the future, let your son build a ship.

That Wanshida heard that he was sixty-seven years old, and he didn't even think about it, so he really let himself resign!

Director Zhang is sad, he is only sixty-seven years old!

I have worked hard for the Badaohe Shipyard for more than 20 years, and I will let myself go...... However, Wanshida may not have been happy and gave him a large pension.

It was a passbook that was begging for money, and Director Zhang Laoshi knew that he could take out cash anywhere...... But, just use a little money to send yourself away?!

His tears were about to come out.

It just so happened that Director Zhang Laoshi saw a brief introduction to Manila City in the "Liuqiu Times...... He decided at the time that it was a good place to build a ship!

So, he took people to the Manila area for a field trip.

The southern strait of Manila Bay is perfect for a large shipyard!

Then he went to drill the forest himself, and if he found a large area of marine timber, he would be able to build a factory immediately.

He wants to show Wanshida, who is bent on building ironclad ships, the ability of the master shipbuilder who is only sixty-seven years old!

Zhang Laoshi didn't dare to tell them that back then, his grandfather was eighty-five years old and had been working in the shipyard!

And his father, who worked until he was eighty-eight years old!

Zhang honestly swears that he will work until he is 90 years old, so that they can take a good look!!

After a few days of drilling in the forest, they burst out laughing when they suddenly spotted a large teak grove.

He patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Heaven will not destroy my Zhang family...... This teak forest is even more useful than the previous fir trees!

My son, let's buy a huge property for the Zhang family here! ”

His son's face was also full of joy...... His father's words weren't bragging.

The material of teak is yellow-brown or dark brown, the wood is fine, the hardness is high, and the texture is beautiful.

In the case of sun and rain, dry and wet changes are large, it does not warp or crack; Water-resistant, fire-resistant, resistant to termites and sea insects in different sea areas, extremely resistant to decay, can be said to be the first place in the use of materials for ships.

At the Badaohe Shipyard, teak is an important material for the manufacture of warships.

Of course, it is also an excellent material for the construction of harbors, bridges and other buildings, carriages, furniture, carvings, veneers, decorative panels and other excellent materials.

You beg for camphor wood on the island, and I have teak wood around Manila!
