Chapter 159: Conquest of the Three Islands

With the garrisons of the cities of the Great Song Dynasty, it seems that they have begun to enter a state of preparation. Tubo, who has always been worried about the Great Song Xingbing, naturally looks very nervous. I am afraid that the Great Song Dynasty, which finally launched the war machine, will also destroy Tubo.

It's a pity that Zhao Xiaoxi is not interested at all, and he is asking them at this time. In his thoughts, Tubo was afraid that it would not last long, and it would be annexed by the Great Song Dynasty and the special economic invasion, and it didn't matter whether it was fought or not.

On the contrary, those island countries are the targets of Zhao Xiaoxi's plan to enter. An imperial order was issued, and the navy and landing force that had been assembled for a long time began to set sail to conquer the kingdoms of Java, Chenla and Sriwijaya.

The Great Song Navy, which was divided into three crusade armies, can be described as a high-morale departure. In the name of their conquest of the Three Kingdoms, the Three Kingdoms owed too much money to Xinnancheng, and they were unable to repay it and could only ask for it by force.

Failure to pay back the money owed is very serious in New South City. Once upon a time, wasn't Goryeo exactly like this, and was destroyed by the Great Song Dynasty? And now the three countries of them will also usher in such a fate.

At the beginning of the war, the Great Song government began to post notices soliciting immigrants. Seeing the proclamation, the imperial court gave the benefits to the people of those island countries who had been relocated, and many people seemed a little moved.

As long as the people are willing to emigrate, they will get at least 100 acres of land when they get there. If they can't grow it, they can also spend some money to recruit local natives from the government to help them do the work. This means that when you get there, you can enjoy the same treatment as a landlord.

Although it is a little reluctant to stay away from their homeland, many ordinary people have many children and many fields, but there is not enough land to plant. Splitting into a family and going overseas may not be the best option. What's more, in the past two years, people have not been so strange to overseas.

Fruits brought from overseas also began to appear in the cities where they lived. Although the price is relatively high, it also shows that it is there. Not as desolate as they imagined. Otherwise, the imperial court would not have sent troops to crusade!

Within three years, you don't have to pay taxes, and if you want to go home, you can also take a ship from the imperial court. Some young and adventurous people went to the yamen to sign up, planning to go there first.

If you can make some money. Isn't it just three years to see the world again?

Before the war was decided, the work of emigration was started, and perhaps only Cho Hyo-seok did it. But think about the Three Kingdoms, with the establishment of the New South City, their shipbuilding industry completely disappeared. All transportation depends on the supply of New South City.

It can be said that, to a large extent, even if the Great Song Dynasty does not attack. Just stick to it for a month. Don't ship anything to their country. These monarchs and ministers of the Three Kingdoms, who are used to living a good life, will definitely feel a lot of discomfort.

When the invincible navy arrived at the ports of the three countries, the people of the three countries were also stunned. However, when they heard that the monarch owed so much money to New South City and had not repaid it, they also felt that the monarch was too greedy.

Think about how their tax revenues have doubled over the years. The money that is earned every year is exploited by the nobles and the monarch. These are the same poor people. On the contrary, the arrival of the Great Song Navy was very welcome.

When the infantry of the Great Song Dynasty Navy who began to land took out the muskets and artillery they were equipped with. These monarchs of the Three Kingdoms, who only know how to enjoy, understand the arrival of the end times. As for the repayment of the money, it was directly ignored by the Great Song Navy that marched into the army.

The order they received this time was to completely eliminate the nobles and emperors of the Three Kingdoms. As for those people, they are the people under the rule of the Great Song Dynasty in the future. Even if they have a poor bloodline. But it's also a good workforce.

After the official start of the war, those Great Song merchants who smelled of blood also began to transport a large amount of materials to this land that was about to become the Great Song Dynasty. As the officers and soldiers occupied a place, they bought a place to set up a workshop.

These can be described as shrewd merchants of the Great Song Dynasty. Following in the footsteps of Zhao Xiaoxi, they expanded their financial resources little by little. It can be said that it is these businessmen who really benefit from every war. And the land in the occupied zone can be described as very cheap.

And for the naval officers and soldiers who captured these lands, a large part of the money from the merchants to buy the land would go into the pockets of the imperial court. But some of them will also be distributed to them after the war.

As long as they have military exploits, they can be exchanged for money or land. And the merit field they buy will be several times lower than that of the merchants. With a large amount of land, it means that their family will not have to worry about food and clothing for a hundred years.

Although merit is not allowed to be traded, if a soldier does not want a merit field, it can also be sold to the government at a price. The government will then sell these fields as appropriate. But for these soldiers, the land is also very enthusiastic.

As far as the really prosperous New South City in front of us is concerned, those immigrants who grew up in the early years, and the soldiers who were assigned to the meritorious field. Now the family is living a more comfortable life than the officials.

With such a direct example, how could these soldiers be greedy for a little money and give up this kind of meritorious field that belonged to them? Having meritorious fields as a guarantee means that the family's life is guaranteed.

In fact, for Zhao Hyo-seok, there are also multiple considerations for the issuance of meritorious fields. First, the meritorious fields can be distributed to inspire the courage of the soldiers to kill the enemy bravely, and second, to take care of these meritorious fields, the families of the soldiers must be relocated there.

These soldiers will also become the real backbone of the management of those territories. As their descendants grow up, these recovered territories will also completely become the world of the descendants of Yan and Huang.

In short, the distribution of meritorious fields does not need to consume a single piece of land under the rule of the Great Song Dynasty. It can also be reduced, paying a large amount of war dividends to the soldiers. By the way, it is also avoided that the many financial and material resources consumed by the resettlement of migrants can be said to kill multiple birds with one stone.

But for the soldiers, they are also keen to take meritorious fields. As long as they have a meritorious field, they can give their families a stable life. As long as the family works hard, they can live a worry-free life in just one or two years.

As for the indigenous people who originally owned the land, they wanted to continue to live here. The Great Song Dynasty will also give them some land, but they need to pay taxes. It is more preferential than the previous government, but it is definitely not more than immigration benefits.

If they want to live a good life, they must work hard in exchange for a happy life in the future. And this kind of work is to accept the employment of immigrants, and every year the immigrants and the government pay them corresponding food and money.

In a word, in a short period of time, these aborigines will be tested for a long time after becoming the people under the rule of the Great Song Dynasty. Until they are qualified, get the government to manage this territory, and issue them the qualifications of the people of the Great Song Dynasty.

This kind of suppressed in disguise is also Zhao Xiaoxi's hope that in the future, in that land, it will always be the descendants of Yan and Huang who are the real masters. As for the fate of these aborigines, that's all he can consider.

Compared with the colonial rule of later generations, at least Zhao Xiaoxi felt that his colonial policy was much more favorable. If you refuse to work and want to eat the relief grain of the Great Song Dynasty, such aborigines don't want it, and the province will waste the grain of the Great Song Dynasty.

With the news of the victory of the Great Song Navy, it continued to spread to the state capital under the rule of the Great Song Dynasty, and many people also felt it. With such a preferential immigration policy, maybe you can really try it. Even in Liaodong, the same is true.

In order to ensure that immigrants are always under the control of the government, Zhao Xiaoxi also has extremely strict control over the selection of immigrants. It will not move all the people of a place to a land of immigrants.

This puts an end to the new immigrants, who unite and erase the status of the government there. Therefore, for this overseas immigration, he also gave a lot of places to the people of Liaodong.

It is also clear that only when the Great Song people, no longer Liao people, Goryeo people, and unified Song people, mean that Zhao Xiaoxi's national integration government has begun to bear fruit. Therefore, Xiao Feng has also done a lot of work.

Some Liao people who felt that they could live in a different place and forget the pain of the collapse of the Liao State also began to respond to the call to settle in places that were extremely far away for them. And most of these people are slave families after emancipation.

After Qiao Feng destroyed the Great Liao, he naturally dealt a resolute blow to the policy of the nobles raising serfs. These nobles, if they wanted to recruit herdsmen, had to pay a corresponding fee. Keeping slaves was strictly forbidden.

These serf civilians who were emancipated, regained their freedom, and were distributed to livestock. Naturally, they were grateful for the kindness of Da Song and Qiao Feng, but they knew that here, they would never forget the identity of serfs.

If they leave Daliao and go to that strange place, with the backing of the Great Song Dynasty government, they can truly become upright and upright people of the Great Song Dynasty. Even according to Qiao Feng, in the future, they can ask the natives to work for them.

If you have the opportunity to be an uncle, who would want to continue to be a slave? It was with the hope of the future that these migrants began to move on naval ships to a territory that was completely alien to them.

When the immigrants finally put their feet on the ground after an unforgettable trip to the sea, they saw a new territory completely different from the Central Plains. But after arriving on the island, they were sent here as officials and assigned land according to their status.

Listen to the officials who led them to settle down, pointing to a large area of land in front of them, and telling them that this land will be theirs from now on. These immigrants really understand that a happy life beckons to them, and that everything in the announcement is true.

The house is brand new and has everything you need for daily necessities. Even ensure that their three months' grain is stored in the granary. As long as they work hard, good days ahead are just around the corner.

As these immigrants began to arrive in the Three Kingdoms one after another, those Great Song merchants who arrived here in advance naturally did not miss the opportunity to do business. Send these new immigrants a variety of goods for them to choose from.

There are even some merchants who are very bold enough to offer credit for them to harvest grain from the land in the future. When you get the money from the sale, you pay for the goods. This kind of transaction makes immigrants really understand that here they are a family, and there is no longer a distinction between southerners and northerners! (To be continued......)
