Chapter 211: Immigration to Tamna

Bumu Butai said: "Some of the Han people rebelled against us, and some were willing to be pigs and dogs for us. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info We killed those who resisted us, and the rest of the Han people were all pigs, sheep and dogs for us, and some Han people were like pigs, and when they got fat, we killed them to replenish our treasury; Some Han people are like sheep, and we need them to feed us; Some Han Chinese are dogs, and we need them to deal with those Han people who resist us! ”

Bumu Butai paused for a moment, and then continued: "Emperor Taizu (Old Slave) didn't understand this back then, and almost all the Han people outside the pass were killed. If it weren't for Tiancong Khan's change of strategy and many times to enter the customs and loot the Han people to be our clothed minions, we would not be able to sit in the capital today! ”

Kangxi responded: "Grandson must remember the teachings of Huang Ma!" ”

Bumu Butai took off his long golden fake nails, reached out and stroked Kangxi's head, and continued: "Emperor Sun, the country of my Qing Dynasty is the Eight Banners, and the Eight Banners are the foundation. Among these eight flags, the eight banners are on top and the eight banners of Mongolia and Han are below. We control the Eight Banners of Mongolia and Han with the Eight Banners of Manchuria, and we control the other Mongolian tribes with the Eight Banners of Mongolia, and we control the Han people with the Eight Banners of Han. If all those Han people who are willing to be pigs, sheep and dogs are killed, the rest are Han people who rebel against us! ”

"The Pseudo-Ming King is really hateful! He compares with us to see whose knife is sharper! Kangxi said angrily.

"Therefore, now that the Han people in the north have surrendered, we must use them as much as possible to deal with the pseudo-Ming. Now the situation in the Qing Dynasty is very bad, half of the prosperous land south of the Yangtze River is in the hands of the puppet Ming, and the puppet Ming naval division may attack Jiangning at any time, threatening the safety of our Caoyun. Jiangnan was smashed, and the taxes could not be collected, so they could only rely on the Huguang granary. If the puppet Ming takes Guangdong and swings Huguang, we will lose the south! Bumu Butai sighed.

Su Malagu, who was standing on the side, said: "Master, it's really not good, let's just withdraw from the south and hold the north of the river." ”

Bumu Butai smiled bitterly: "Back then, the thieves sacrificed the thieves against the Ming Dynasty, and the north has been destroyed, the land in the north is barren and the population is sparse, how can it support the hardcore crops of the Eight Banners?" ”

Su Malagu said: "Master, in fact, we can develop the land of Manchuria, the land of Manchuria is fertile, and we can turn more Han people into clothed slaves to develop Manchuria." ”

Bumu Butai nodded lightly and said: "This plan is feasible, but Manchuria is the land of my Great Qing Dynasty, and you can't act rashly, unless you have to do it as a last resort, you can't fight Manchuria's idea!" Nowadays, not sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn are already grown in large quantities in the south? Let the Han people in the north grow these plants. ”

Crops such as sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn have been cultivated in a large area in the south, and Bumu Butai is not a person like Daoguang who later spent dozens of taels of silver to buy an egg, she still knows a lot about outside affairs, and knows that these crops have extremely high yields, and there are already food made from these crops in the palace at that time.

"The climate in the north is cold, and these crops may not survive." Kangxi said.

Bumu Butai said: "Try a few more times, there will always be someone who can survive." Han Chinese can be encouraged to grow these crops. As long as we can successfully grow in the north, we don't have to worry about food shortages. ”

Perhaps it was the "brutality" of the Ming army that frightened the people in the Chaozhou area, and wherever the Qiongzhou army went, the people did not dare to help the county order and the green battalion soldiers defend the city. Originally, the Qing army did not have many troops on the front line from Chaozhou to Huizhou, and without the help of the people, the Qiongzhou army was like a bamboo, advancing by leaps and bounds and going straight to Huizhou.

When the Ming army was about to arrive in Huizhou, Shang Zhixin sent an envoy to come over and secretly contact Wang Yuyou and others, and only waited for the Ming army to arrive in Guangzhou, Shang Zhixin sacrificed the city of Guangzhou. His condition was to let the Ming court crown himself king, and Shang Zhixin also promised that even if Shang Kexi objected, he would have a way to make the whole city of Guangzhou surrender.

As for the Eight Banners general in Guangzhou, Guangzhou General Hahamu and others, then leave it to the Ming army to deal with. It is believed that the Ming army invaded Guangzhou, and Hahamu's Manmeng Eight Banners were not opponents at all.

In the Taiwan Strait, a fleet rode the wind and waves, passed through the strait, and sailed all the way north.

On a Spanish galleon in the fleet, Liu Lin stood on the deck, looking at the turquoise sea and the seagulls soaring in the air, and her heart was full of emotion. Because she is a woman, she and her sister have cabins for women. Although the condition of this Dutch East India ship was not as good as that of the Kunxing mail ship, after refit, the condition was not bad.

Ordinary people were hundreds of people crowded in the bilge, but Liu Ju's family still had a few pieces of silver, and although most of the silver was confiscated by the Ming army, the silver they carried was still enough for them to get a spacious and comfortable cabin.

Now they finally knew that the place they were going to was called Tamna Island, an island between the Japanese Kingdom and Korea, and after crossing the mouth of the Yangtze River by boat, they had to continue to sail northeast, a total of seven days and seven nights. When the fleet passes through the mouth of the Yangtze River, it will enter the Chongming Island dock to replenish supplies, and then continue to sail north.

This fleet consisted of four 800-ton Spanish galleons and six 1,500-ton Dutch East India ships, carrying more than 5,000 immigrants to Mandarin Duck Village and Chenghai County on Tamna Island.

Although the food conditions on the ship are not as good as when Liu Lin was at home, they are much better than the days when she was detained. During the few days he was imprisoned in Mandarin Duck Village, he only had sweet potatoes every day. On board, they can eat flour mixed with cooked peanut oil, chopped green onion and soy sauce every day, as well as bean sprouts and tofu.

If you spend a little more copper, you can still eat a little meat.

The powder I eat every day is wide and thin, and it is a white translucent powder with a smooth and tough taste, and it is still quite delicious in the mouth.

But Liu Lin and they don't know, in fact, this kind of flour is made from the cheapest and most productive sweet potato, this kind of thing tastes delicious, and it won't eat too much flatulence, and it won't get tired of eating, and it's not worse than rice.

Especially when he saw the soy sauce, Liu Juren was a little surprised: "This soy sauce is a good thing!" What an expensive condiment, you can actually eat those mud legs in the bilge! ”

In ancient times, soy sauce was a valuable condiment, which was generally put in when cooking high-grade dishes, and only those with relatively wealthy families could eat it. However, because of the Nanyang Company, the price of refined salt or soy sauce is not very high, and it is a commodity that ordinary people can afford. Among all the condiments, only MSG extracted from kelp, and real essence of chicken made from real ingredients such as chicken and shiitake mushrooms are more expensive.

After sailing on the sea for a day and a night, the ship first docked in Xiamen, but the "passengers" on board were not allowed to disembark. The fleet was replenished with fresh water and vegetables, and continued to sail north, and also docked in Wenzhou and Ningbo for supplies, and not only were not allowed to get off the ship, but even the deck was not allowed to go up, and only after the ship went to sea, the "passengers" could go on the deck for activities.

After walking for five days and five nights, we arrived at Chongming Island at the mouth of the Yangtze River.

When you get here, you are more free, and the "passengers" on the ship can get off the ship and move, because Chongming Island is a huge barracks at this time, and there are no residents living on it, only soldiers.

Chongming Island was a huge fortress with four large forts, each with four bastions, and at the top of the fort was a turret, armed with thirty-two pounder long-barreled battery guns bought from the Spaniards and Portuguese, as well as various other small cannons, which could cover the seaside docks and block the Yangtze River waterway.

In fact, these forts were mainly used to prevent the Qing army from smuggling and landing, not to deal with ships on the river and sea. The strength of the Ming army's naval division was not comparable to that of the Qing army, and the Qing army was simply unable to launch a frontal assault.

The fleet arrived at Chongming Island, and the people on board were allowed to disembark for a while.

However, although the common people were allowed to get off the boat, few people were still willing to get off the boat, because it was too cold here, much colder than in Guangdong. Most of the people because they live in Guangdong all the year round, they don't have too thick winter clothes, and when they arrive at Chongming Island, the cold of early spring in the south of the Yangtze River, coupled with the humid humidity, the cold is straight into the bone marrow, which is difficult to resist.

Most of the people were crowded on the boat, and the cabin was crowded and relatively warm. In addition, there is a special heating stove on board to heat the cabin.

The conditions of Liu Lin's house are a little better, she has a thicker coat, which is warmer on her body, but after getting off the boat, she still feels cold, and the clammy cold that penetrates the winter coat is really unpleasant.

Next, there were Ming army auxiliaries carrying boxes of supplies onto the ship. This time, not only fresh water and food were replenished, but also boxes and boxes of clothes.

"Everyone's got their clothes! I went to Tamna Island, but it was much colder than in the south! A Ming officer shouted, pointing to a box full of clothes.

Several Ming soldiers opened the box, and inside was boxes of cotton clothes, all of which had just been produced by the Shanghai Garment Factory. The cotton coat is made of brand new fabric on the outside, and there is thick cotton on the inside, which is very warm to wear on the body, and it blocks the cold and humidity at once.

All the boxes are marked with large, large, medium and small sizes, as well as the words men's and women's, men's cotton clothes are dark blue, and women's cotton clothes are bright red. In addition to cotton clothes, there are cotton pants and cotton hats, and all clothing styles are uniform.

"A person can only take one, not more! Men and women are separated, blue is male, red female. There are also special ones for children, and the boxes are marked on them! The Ming officer shouted at the people.

Under the supervision of the Ming soldiers, the common people lined up to receive their own cotton clothes.

The ship anchored at Chongming Island for a relatively long time, stopping for about a day and a night, and then pulled anchor early the next morning and set sail, leaving the mouth of the Yangtze River and continuing to sail northeast to Tamna Island.

Leaving the mouth of the Yangtze River, the fleet sailed for another three days and two nights, and docked at the pier on Tamna Island.

Tamna Island, also known as Jeju Island, was originally occupied by the North Koreans, but later Zheng Zheng's army attacked Tamna Island and snatched the island from the Koreans. As for the civil officials in the court who accused Zheng Zheng, Wang Xinyu spoke for Zheng Zheng: "North Korea is a vassal state of the Tartars, and it also helps the Tartars." A friend of the enemy is our enemy, so it is also appropriate to fight North Korea! ”

Originally, the North Korean sailors were relatively strong, but they used turtle boats to beat the Japanese sailors and suffered heavy losses, and they fled back to the Japanese country in embarrassment.

But now, so many years have passed, and the North Korean sailors have not grown at all.

The turtle boat's cannon had a short range, far inferior to Zheng Zheng's gunboat.

Among the Chung Raid Sailors, there were both Daifuku ships and Western soft-sailed ships, and although they were only armed merchant ships, their firepower far exceeded that of the North Korean turtle ships. In the midst of the battle between the two sides, the turtle boat could not get close at all. However, the cannon of Zheng Xianshui could easily tear open the deck of the turtle ship.

The Koreans, who have been defeated and suffered repeated losses, are still unwilling to lose Tamna Island. As a result, Zheng Xun simply did not stop doing anything, and united with the Japanese to attack the Korean sailors, sending almost all the Korean sailors to the bottom of the sea.

Now North Korea has lost its naval division and can no longer pose a threat to Tamna.

At the same time, Wang Xinyu also sent people to negotiate with North Korea, hoping that North Korea would give up its support for the Qing court and at the same time "lease" Tamna Island to the Ming State.

The fleet docked at the pier and was greeted by two large castles half a mile away, between which a large road passed. If someone lands, they will inevitably be subjected to crossfire from the two castles and will suffer heavy losses, so no one will risk landing here.

Because it was getting dark, the ship was docked on the dock, but the people on board could not get off the ship. According to the rules, they can only sleep on the boat tonight.

The next morning someone came to bring the people down the ship.

"Everyone, get ready to disembark! When you get off the boat, someone will take you to your ranch. A Ming army officer said.

Liu Lin got off the boat with his family, and the people of the brigade dragged their families and mouths, and under the guidance of local officers and soldiers, they walked to the residence arranged for them by Zheng Xi.

From the pier to the place of residence, it is about fifteen miles. These ordinary people were not trained to march, and there were old people and children in the ranks, so the march was very slow, and more than 5,000 people walked for a whole day on a mere fifteen-mile road, until it was completely dark, and they did not reach their place of residence.

"Your place of residence has arrived! There is no house yet, so you can only stay in a tent at night. From tomorrow onwards, everyone will start working, young men will build houses, and women will take care of horses! Elderly and children, we will arrange some light work for you to do! The Ming army officer raised his voice and shouted to everyone.

The whole island of Tamna is a huge horse farm, where three types of horses are raised: the most powerful Western horses, the medium-height Don hippopotamus, and the shortest Mongolian horses.

Although Zheng Zheng's main force of more than 20,000 people was on Tamna Island, and there were many castles built here, it was difficult for either the Qing army or the Koreans to attack the island, but according to the requirements, each settlement had to build an earthen city and a camp, fence off the settlement, and dig a trench outside to defend against a possible attack.
