Since Li Yu did not set up an overseas land information office in Jiangnan Province for various reasons, the powerful and wealthy businessmen who came to Taiwan from Jiangnan Province also obtained a certificate from the Taiwan Governor's Office that could represent their status and apply for the number of acres of land that matched their own status.

According to the land division policy formulated by the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, the children of the 12 major families surnamed Qiwang, Jing Zhaowei, Jing Zhaodu, Hongnong Yang, Lanling Xiao, and Wen Xipei and the nobles of the court and the central government can apply for up to 5,000 mu, and the children of other ordinary or decaying families and middle-level officials can only apply for a maximum of 3,000 mu, and the wealthy merchants can apply for up to 1,500 mu.

In addition, although the families, the magnates, and the wealthy merchants could obtain much more land than the common people, they still had to bear the burden of organizing three families to move to the local area for every 500 mu according to the amount of land they had purchased, and they had to pay for their clothing, food, and farm tools before the autumn harvest of that year.

The people who spontaneously went to overseas islands to reclaim wasteland were given 300 acres of wasteland for adults and 100 acres for the old and young, and were exempt from tax for three years. Those who sign up for the Anton Pioneer Group can only get 100 acres per adult, 50 acres for the old and young, and tax exemption for two years.

A few days after the wealthy merchants and magnates of Jiangnan Province arrived in Taipei City, they were even larger, and the immigrant fleets carrying the people of the two provinces also entered the Taipei Basin through the freshwater estuary.

I saw that there were many powerful and wealthy businessmen's ships moored on the wharf outside Taipei, and I saw that there were people who came to Taiwan with the same thoughts as me.

The migrants who crossed the Taiwan Strait hundreds of miles wide in small boats to reach Taipei City could not sit still.

Although the newspaper said that the island of Taiwan is very large, it is impossible to resist the large number of people who come to apply for the reclamation of wasteland, especially those rich businessmen and powerful people, each household can apply for thousands of acres of land. If you go late, the wasteland on the island of Taiwan will be cleaned, and you will come all the way to Taiwan, but you will be sitting on wax.

As soon as the people's emigrant boats docked and left behind the guards of their belongings, the various family members who came in groups were impatient to enter the city to find someone to find out where the yamen of the Taiwan Governor's Mansion was.

For a time, the Taiwan Governor's Office had just been established, and the office responsible for handling land applications was overcrowded.

The division of fields inevitably involves the survey and drawing of arable land on the island of Taiwan, and the Governor's Office is well aware of it.

However, these are a bit blind for the Taiwan Governor's Office, which has been established for less than half a year and only actually controls the western mountains of the Taipei Basin in the west and the gold belt in the upper reaches of the Keelung River in the east.

As more and more immigrants arrive to purchase land, the area of land under the actual control of the Taiwan Governor's Office will soon be divided into all areas.

The head of the office looked at the less and less land in his hand, and his scalp was numb, and hurriedly reported to the governor Xue Maoxun.

Since the first batch of wealthy merchants and magnates of Jiangnan Province who arrived in Taiwan and applied for the corresponding fields according to the land division decree issued by King Yan, Xue Maoxun, who was the governor of Taiwan, began to worry about things.

In the past few days, with the arrival of the people of the two Zhejiang, Xue Maoxun scratched his scalp with sorrow, and couldn't stop complaining in his heart why His Royal Highness was in such a hurry to immigrate to Taiwan, why would it not be too late for me to move after I captured half of Taiwan!

Looking at the worried expression of his own governor, the secretary of the Chaos Guard who entered the door knew why the governor was worried, and he was a little embarrassed to report it.

"Governor, news from the Yanwang Mansion that the First Fleet of the immigrant fleet departing from Guanzhong and Henan is on the way, and it is finally about 20,000 people, and will arrive in Taiwan in a month. In addition, the spontaneous migration to Taiwan from Huainan Province and Jiangnan Province has not ended, and it is estimated that more than 30,000 people will arrive on the road in the coming days......"

"Got it, let's go down!"

Xue Maoxun waved his hand helplessly, and the secretary had no choice but to stop and exit the door.

"Your Highness, this is forcing me to open up Taiwan! It's just a group of islands who don't know what war is and are familiar with the terrain, so they just need to spend a little more brains. ”

Since he was ordered to build Taipei City, he led the army to clean up the people living in the mountains around the Taipei Basin and the Keelung River, and captured more than 15,000 slave laborers. Under the order of the general Xue Maoxun, they gathered again to prepare for the westward expedition, and took the vast plain southwest of the Taipei Basin and north of Touqian Creek within half a month.

In the early stage of the expedition, the Chaos Guard judge ran over and told Xue Maoxun that hundreds of miners brought from Jiangnan Daoyi had gathered in the middle and upper reaches of the Keelung River to mine gold. Captain Feng sent a message to send troops to arrest all the miners who were mining gold privately.

Xue Maoxun, who was plotting to conquer the entire island of Taiwan within a year this year, couldn't help but be annoyed when he heard this, "The gold mines on the island of Taiwan are all under the control of their gold guards, and it is also their business to arrest those miners who mine privately." Tell us the Chaos Guard to help them capture the miners who have no fixed residence, so who will help us conquer the people entrenched on the island? ”

"Governor, let's directly refuse to be the captain of the school......"

"Just back to him, the Taiwan Governor's Office is preparing for the westward expedition, the garrison is already small, and the troops are even more scarce at this time, so the Governor has no troops to send. He asked Changming to ask for troops, so he asked him to write to His Royal Highness King Yan and ask for more troops to Taiwan. ”

"Whoa!" The judge was impatient, so he had to reply to Feng Changming according to Xue Maoxun's meaning, but he softened the meaning of the words so as not to offend him.

Although Feng Changming is only a gold-seeking captain, his position is not as good as that of the governor of the Governor's Mansion. But the Jin Wei is not counted as the imperial court establishment, but is counted as the personal guard of the Yan Wangfu. Although his position is low, he is a close confidant of King Yan.

Since the establishment of the left and right Jinwei, the Andong Zhujun jokingly called it the left and right golden fingers of King Yan.

Speaking of increasing troops, Xue Maoxun really has a shortage of troops in his hands, originally the Chaos Guard was an establishment of 3,000 people, but the strength of the two battalions was assigned to the Xingzhou Governor's Office, and the troops of Xingzhou Island and Tsushima Island were garrisoned, and another 400 troops were assigned to the Ryukyu Governor's Office. The Taiwan Governorate, which was under his command, had only 1,000 troops, and after months of fierce fighting with the island and non-combat attrition, there were now only 800 left.

With more than 800 soldiers and horses guarding more than 10,000 slave laborers, it can be seen how scarce the troops in Xue Maoxun's hands are.

When Nuofei was clearing those islands, the strong and warlike young men among the people were either killed on the spot or were handcuffed and shackled to restrict their hands and feet under key care.

Otherwise, you want to hold more than 10,000 slave laborers with more than 800 soldiers?

Without additional troops, it will be difficult to launch a new conquest after the first attack.

Thinking of this, Xue Maoxun sent the secretary to write a document requesting more troops, and sent a messenger to Luoyang to play the king of Yan on the fastest ship of Jiaolong Haihang.

Xue Maoxun estimated that in order to conquer the whole island, it was necessary to send two guards and troops from Andong to come, otherwise it would be difficult to ensure the safety of immigrants who came to Taiwan to reclaim wasteland.

It's just that this time the limited number of troops is appropriate, it is appropriate to stump Xue Maoxun, after all, 800 people are not so easy to draw, and there are more than 10,000 slave laborers.

The deputy envoy of the Chaos Guard proposed that he could use grain as a salary, temporarily recruit a group of young and strong soldiers who had just come to Taiwan and had not yet been allocated land, sign and draw a pledge, and guarantee that their land would be allocated as a condition for answering, and assist the remaining troops to guard the slave laborers.
