Chapter 20: The Island of the Sun and the Moon

At present, the time of Sun Moon Island has been synchronized, but it is in a different era, and the plan of the top fort city of Miyajima has been added to 1620 when Zhu Ci glued into the Forbidden City ten days ago, so the age of most of the people living in the top fort has not changed. There is also www.biquge.info newly built Forbidden City's last three halls and the east and west six palaces, which were lifted from closure two years ago and returned to 1620.

The Sun Moon Island outside the level of the fort stopped at this time in the ninth month of the summer calendar of 1638, and the two parts were approaching 1625 at the same speed, so the main part of the Sun Moon Island had experienced thirteen years of construction and development, and the Sun Moon Island was already a capital and commercial society.

Because Riyue Island has passed the farthest 1638, and in addition to the 20 years of industrial and commercial restructuring, the annual economic level of the small Riyue Island has reached a very high level. Riyue Island has become a small high-income island with Chinese porcelain and wood processing and export as the main processing and export, followed by glassware, deerskin tanning, shipbuilding and construction.

In addition to timber and iron ore, clay has also become a large amount of imported materials on the island, and there are branches of "Daming Taihai Trading Company" in Korea, Japan, Ryukyu, Taiwan, China, Vietnam, Marancia, Indonesia, the Philippines and other places.

The shipbuilding technology and military industry level on the island have surpassed those of Western countries, and the range of cannons is close to five kilometers. The development of flintlock pistols has matured, and it is the experimental stage of factory production, and more than 300 flintlock pistols have been made. The political and commercial system on Sun Moon Island has matured, and it is effectively controlled under the strict system of Sun Moon Castle.

Because the central institution located in Sun Moon Fort is a group of "immortal outsiders", coupled with the counterinsurgency and bloodshed twelve years ago, the people on Sun Moon Island have believed that the "Lord of Zheng Castle" is indeed the body of King Ming. In this "blood massacre", more than half of the gentry and giants on Sun Moon Island were confiscated, some were killed, some were expelled, and some were re-reduced to ordinary people, and there was absolutely no possibility of disobeying the will of Lord Zhengbao.

And it was Zheng Zhi, the owner of the island in the flesh of the Ming King, who used his wisdom to integrate the industry and commerce on the island, turning the worthless materials from the outside world into expensive and precious commodities. The sea town and port area have attracted nearly 1,000 foreign industrialists and businessmen, and it is also the open area of Riyue Island, which is the most lively and prosperous place on the island.

In the middle of the hall of the black temple on the north side of the Sun Moon Fort is the golden statue of King Dawei Deming, and in the underground palace below is a crystal coffin, in which lies the immortal body of Zheng Zhi. He was still eight or nine years old at the age of twelve, and he was only three or four points similar to the crown prince Zhu Youxiao in physiognomy. The temple presiding officer, Laban Living Buddha, has been living here, and only he can prove that Lord Zheng Bao has been reincarnated as Zhu Youxiao, the heir to the throne of the Ming Dynasty, and in five years, Sun Moon Island will become the capital of the Eastern Domain of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, nearly 100 people in the center of Sun Moon Fort believed Laban's words, because the true god of the Ming King was still on the island, and the palace built for the Ming Emperor had just been completed. On the southeast side, the temple corresponding to the Yangxin Hall has been converted into a Persian garden centered on a small castle, which is the center of the entire "summer palace" at this time, and the beautiful Persian concubine in the flesh of the Ming King lives there. This foreign beauty will maintain her gorgeous appearance at the age of twenty, and the son born to her and the Ming Emperor will become the future lord of Mingyue Island.

All this made Zheng Shuang very annoyed, but it made Qi Jiguang, who had been a man for several generations, feel happy, the Ming Dynasty could own this Sun Moon Island, and the Han people would have the courage to fight fiercely with the West and the Wa Kingdom. Wei Jiguang believes in the theory of reincarnation, but he never believes that the young emperor of the new pole will carry the memory of the "Lord Zheng Bao".

Qi Jiguang lived for sixty years in his previous life, and when he woke up, he had the body of the son of a traitor, and with this body he lived for eighteen years. Then he borrowed the body of Zheng Shuang, the son of the lord of Zheng Bao, to resurrect, and one person has the memories of three people, and each time he is reincarnated through the body of others.

There were six other people who came to Sun Moon Island in the same form as Qi Jiguang, they lived on the island most of the time, so they were still very young, but they didn't know that Qi Jiguang, who was in charge of the water master alone, had become Zheng Shuang, the son of Zheng Bao Lord in his previous life. Zheng Shuang was still thirteen years old, and he had been on Sun Moon Island for less than half a month, and after his arrival, he began to prepare for the Ming Emperor Yuanxing Sun Moon Island.

In the past ten years of training, the sailors have been the youngest unit on the island on average, and the 6,005 sailors can only control 87 gunboats, and have not yet fought naval battles with ships at sea. The god of Sun Moon Island is rich, and although the military salary of the sailor is ten times that of the Ming army, the soldiers in this realm are still very recruited. The training time is too long, and it is necessary to enter the Marine Master Academy for three years of study, and it is impossible for all the teenagers on Riyue Island to enter the Marine Master School, and they can prepare for future battles against Western ships by returning to the Ming Dynasty in advance.

Although Qi Jiguang has lived on Riyue Island for 18 years, he has always been concerned about the Ming Dynasty and has no plans to live in the "ghost domain" of Riyue Island for a long time, so he can return to the first year of the Apocalypse and take the sailor to change the shame of the South China Sea of the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, there are not many officials who know that Lord Zheng Bao was reincarnated as the Ming Emperor, in addition to Jin Qiaoyun and Qi Jiguang, there are also four Shangguan and twelve eunuchs who came from the late Han Dynasty. These are all sophisticated and treacherous people, and they are Zhu Cizhuo's close ministers and the head of Sun Moon Island, of course, they will not tell anyone about this secret.

Zhu Cizhuo already knew the development of Sun Moon Island after connecting with the consciousness of the Ming King's own god, but he was a little dissatisfied with the results achieved in the past 20 years. All the development plans of Riyue Island were formulated more than ten days ago, but there is still a big gap between its investment and return. The key point is that the investment in the construction of the "summer palace" greatly exceeded the original budget, and it is also an irrational social structure for a population of 80,000 to bear the expenditure of more than 20,000 troops.

Now after these troops are deployed, the population of Sun Moon Island will be greatly reduced, and the sharp reduction in population will not only affect the demand on the island, but also affect the economy and military industry of Sun Moon Island. The key issue is still the treasury space of the Ming Dynasty, and the country's economy is controlled by the gentry and giant businessmen. In the month of Taichang's administration, the actual profit of the tax reduction and exemption of the salt merchant was not the common people, but those who were already very wealthy gentry and the very rich, but if this kind of lower body was long-lasting, it would have a promoting effect on the capital economy.

However, after the Ming Dynasty has a sailor and a large number of foreign craftsmen, the two-hundred-year sea ban should become history, and after the ban is opened, Sun Moon Island can become a carrier of the royal family with huge commercial interests. The problem is that the political system in Riyue Island has been established very well under Zhu Cizhuo's manipulation, but the central team of Riyue Island has clearly divided the powers, finances, and powers between the lord and the government, and is actually the prototype of a constitutional monarchy system.

At present, the lord of Sun-Moon Island only owns the property rights of Miyajima, and the income of the fort is the rental fee for the port area and the sea town, and the other is the mine and heavy industry area below the compound road. The center of the fort city even bought out the shipbuilding industry and the part of the tax profits of the fort city for 3.6 million yuan a year, which was actually an act of robbery while the fire was burning.

The annual allowance of 3.6 million yuan is actually the annual maintenance fee that the island city government needs to pay to the lord every year, and the lord also has these two rights and interests and 3.6 million yuan of support expenses when this top buyout agreement is formulated. At the beginning, King Dawei Deming only cared about the economic difficulties at hand, and this agreement was stipulated to be implemented after the completion of the summer palace, and the interests of Zhu Cizhuo after taking over were not considered at all when it was formulated.

Of course, the expenses of the castle and the summer palace are not so huge, the eunuchs and maids there are all slaves, and there are no families outside and they don't need much pocket money, which is not comparable to the income of the eunuchs in the Forbidden City. And those craftsmen were originally a group, enjoying the exemption of housing and tax exemption policies, and their annual income was much higher than that of the craftsmen outside.

When Zhu Cizhuo really wanted to own Riyue Island, he sat in the Maoqin Palace, drinking three hundred years of Pu'er and smoking paper cigarettes from later generations, and when he was waiting for the group of people to come in, he was thinking about how to get the hundreds of millions of yuan in cash in the Riyue Island Festival Treasury in his heart.

After the first three halls of the Forbidden City were burned down in the twenty-fifth year of Wanli (1597), the outer three palaces were still in the final stage of renovation.

Of course, the treasury of the Ming Dynasty still has some silver, Zhu Changluo has already sent 1.5 million military salaries to Liaodong, and this time the transfer of troops does not have 3 million taels of military salaries, which is a bit unacceptable, because it is necessary to recruit troops in Liaodong to establish a defense system. The mausoleum construction of the two Daxing emperors cost 1.5 million taels each, and if you add 1.5 million taels of marriage expenses. Seven and a half million taels is already one-third of the annual treasury revenue, and without the treasury silver of Sun Moon Fort, we will have to live a hard life like the Chongzhen Year next year.

What's more, there is a famine in Huaibei Mansion at this time, and it is not a good sign that cannibalism will happen just after becoming an emperor. Therefore, although those ministers were very resistant, for the sake of the more than 16 million eagles, they agreed to appease the "pirates" on Sun Moon Island.

Zhu Cizhuo saw that the officials of the Ming Dynasty were indeed pedantic, and the trading companies and the use of silver dollars on Riyue Island had already appeared in Guangzhou, Fujian and other places, and there was indeed no investigation into the sudden appearance of the armed forces on Riyue Island. It is estimated that they thought that the 6,500 sailors were just drifting pirates driving 100-ton ships, and that the more than 16,500 cavalry officers and soldiers were just some temporary strong groups, but these were regular troops that had never appeared in the South China Sea after more than ten years of training.

The age of these more than 20,000 troops was about 30 years old at this time, and the asynchronous annual rings of Sun Moon Island adjusted the soldiers who were nearly 20 years old to the same age group, and most of them were ready to go to the mainland to marry a cheap wife. The eighty-seven warships were all new ships built in the last fifteen years, and the original armed merchant ships on Sun Moon Island had all been sold. At this time, the "Daming Taiwan Strait Trading Company" only had 18 armed merchant ships and a joint company composed of 12 pirate leaders, and Riyue Island was already the leader of the pirate groups of various coastal countries in the South China Sea.

All of this integration is due to Qi Guangji, the weapons on the ships of the sailors are equipped with the best guns and firearms, and the pirate group is a monopoly economic entity under the control of the sailors of Sun Moon Island. This unseen fleet is capable of dominating the South China Sea and the Sea of Japan, but it is not comparable to the pirate fleets of Western countries. In addition to the overspent 1,500-ton imperial ship, which is a bit ahead of its time, the monohull tonnage of the ships of Riyue Island has not yet kept up with the monohull tonnage of the Spanish sailing ship and the Galen ship, but it can be seen that the shipbuilding technology of Riyue Island has reached the world's leading level.

After all, the world that Qi Jiguang saw was a bit narrow, and it was not because King Dawei Deming used cheating methods, it was impossible to build such a large number of sailors and foot riders according to the manpower and financial resources of Sun Moon Island. It took 80 years from the expansion of Miyajima Island to the planned construction of Rigetsu Island. Although Zhu Cizhuo was not autonomous, he actually participated in the planning and construction of the entire Sun Moon Island after the expansion, and he has lived on Sun Moon Island for more than 20 years, so he is already a veteran figure on Sun Moon Island.

This King Ming's physical body Zhu Cizhuo did not do it in vain, and King Daweide also knew that the achievements of Sun Moon Island today were made by Zhu Cizhuo. When Sun Moon Island was finally handed over to him, the only requirement was to fulfill his wish to be the queen of his beloved wife. is not the queen of the Ming Dynasty but the queen of Sun Moon Island, and hopes to let the descendants of the brothers become the eternal lord of Sun Moon Island.
