Chapter 147: Castrating the World
After the meeting, it was time to reward meritorious deeds, and this time many people made great contributions.
So Lu Yan ordered a large amount of silver to be rewarded, and seeing the white silver flowing out again, this made Lu Yan feel extremely distressed.
He began to wonder if his money would last for three years.
But some of them have made very special contributions, such as Xiang Yu, Xue Rengui, Lu Bu, etc.
They captured Nurhachi, Amin and Daishan alive.
Xiang Yu must be made a marquis, this Lu Yan has already reported to the imperial court, if the imperial court does not allow it, he will forcibly make him a marquis, and he will not care about the face of the imperial court at that time.
Since you don't give me face, I won't give you face.
But he felt that this was not enough to reward him, so he offered another reward.
After pacifying Europe, he would provide them with soldiers and horses, and they would take people to Africa to make a career.
Of course, this cause is not an ordinary cause, but a great cause of nation-building.
At that time, the territory they conquered was completely owned by them, and Lu Yan could make them princes.
Just like Zhou Tianzi divided the princes, he counted dividing these generals into Africa and North and South America.
But there is a premise for these, that is, the number of purebred Han Chinese in their territory must reach a certain number, and the proportion must reach more than ninety or eight.
In short, the larger the territory, the more Han people must be in the territory, otherwise he will refuse to be canonized.
In addition to this, how many soldiers and horses he will provide for them. It also depends on their achievements.
The greater the feats, the more soldiers and horses he provided.
Of course, if their financial resources are sufficient. You can also learn from the Ming Dynasty.
For the big cake painted by Lu Yan, the reactions of his generals were mixed.
To be honest, Xiang Yu prefers Chudi, for Lu Yan's big cake, he feels a little like chicken ribs, tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to abandon it.
Xue Rengui's face was complicated, and he didn't know whether to agree.
Say yes. After all, Africa is too far away, and some people don't want to go there.
Lu Bu was overjoyed. He didn't expect that he would have the day to become a prince and king in the open.
Although it must have been more than ten years later at that time, and the location was a little far away from Daming, it was also a prince and king recognized by the Han Dynasty orthodoxy.
Maybe he could make a career like Qin Shi Huang, Lu Bu quickly thought.
So Lu Bu's motivation immediately became full. He offered to Lu Yan to help him resurrect all the Iron Horsemen.
Lu Yan also agreed, and after the Battle of Fengyang, he had already helped resurrect a thousand Bingzhou Iron Cavalry and became his subordinate.
However, he also proposed that if you want to resurrect all the Iron Horsemen of the state, you must make enough credit.
Lu Bu thought about it and agreed, after all, there is no free lunch in this world.
For Lu Yan's such a big brain, many generals are talking about it.
It's good to be a prince. But the key is that it is too far away from Daming, and the time is more than ten years later.
Seeing this, Lu Yan smiled slightly. Then he promised them that if they did enough to do this, everyone could divide the princes.
If there is not enough land in Africa, there is also North America.
And if North America isn't enough, there's South America.
It is believed that his generals and their descendants will gain more territory. It's going to be a desperate sweep all over the world.
As for why Lu Yan thinks so, he also has his own concerns.
He has already assigned Asia, Europe, and Australia to his own sons and grandchildren. But it is simply impossible for his descendants to control such a vast territory.
Genghis Khan established four khanates back then, and then didn't they collapse quickly?
However, there is one thing that Lu Yan will do more ruthlessly than him.
That is, he intends to castrate all the non-Ming races in his territory, so that even if those natives rebel, what kind of climate can they become.
He didn't believe that so many Han people couldn't pacify a group of eunuchs to rebel.
In a few decades, as long as this generation of indigenous people is old, then the Han will be able to completely occupy these three continents, and forever, completely.
Even if there was a mixture with the local ethnic group at that time, it was the descendants of the Han people.
Can a son still make a father?
But after all, this world is too big, even if he wants to occupy it, he can't occupy it all.
He estimated that his children and grandchildren would be able to eat these three continents completely, and he was already thankful.
As for the other continents, that can't be given to anyone else.
So it was divided into other soldiers, let them eat meat and drink soup together, at least after the Han people spread all over the world, even if they fight, it is the Han people themselves and their own people, and there will be no possibility of being oppressed by other races.
And when the time comes, the Han people will compete with each other, and maybe they will reproduce the scene of a hundred schools of thought contending during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
After the meeting dispersed, Lu Yan, Zhang Juzheng and others were busy again.
In Jiangnan, he already occupied a lot of land, and when he confiscated the land, he only divided half of the land.
Half of the land was left in his own hands, intended to be distributed among the sergeants.
Now it's time to deliver on that promise.
So he ordered that many sergeants could get eighty acres of arable land in the interior, and it was their private land in perpetuity, and in return, those sergeants and their sons and grandsons were obliged to fight for Lü Yan and his descendants.
Of course, it's only three generations.
Lü Yan originally planned to implement the government military system, but Li Jing, Zhang Juzheng and others told him that the core of the government military system was the Juntian system.
In order to implement the equalization system, it is necessary to have enough land.
Now there is not much land in Daming, and it can be said that there are more people and less land.
The reason why the Sui and Tang dynasties were able to implement the equalization system was because at that time, the population of China decreased sharply after years of war, and a large amount of wasteland appeared, so the equalization system could be implemented.
There is not enough land. The government military system cannot be implemented at all.
And with the * of the imperial court, the government military system will be defeated sooner or later, just like the Tang Dynasty finally abolished the government military system.
Therefore, Lu Yan thought about it. It was decided that this system would only be practiced for three generations, and that it would be abolished after three generations, when the land would be completely owned by the sergeants.
When the news spread, the sergeants who had been given the land were thunderous with joy.
There is no doubt that the working people of ancient China loved the land.
But the number of sergeants under his command was already quite large, and it was impossible for each of them to get eighty acres of arable land.
You must know that 80 acres of cultivated land is close to the level of small landlords, and it is impossible for everyone to become a small landlord.
Therefore, Lü Yan began to divide the lands of Nanyang and Taiwan.
Willing to go to Taiwan. Each person was given 150 acres of arable land, and a Nanyang eunuch was rewarded to help cultivate the land.
Willing to go to the South Seas. Each person can enclose 500 acres of land at will in an ownerless place, and after registering with the government, that place is yours. In addition, you can also be rewarded with three Nanyang casters to help cultivate the land.
Of course. If you are willing to go to Australia, it is better, you can circle a thousand acres of land.
For Lu Yan's decision, some sergeants were satisfied, and some were not.
Nanyang is too far away, although there are a lot of land, but there is no sense of belonging.
However, Lu Yan's order had already been issued, and they had no choice.
After all, living in vain is already earned.

In the midst of this hustle and bustle, the news of the successful recovery of Macau came.
Lu Yan was not surprised by this, and Lu Yan would be surprised if he did not succeed in recovering Macao.
After all, the difference in strength between the two sides is too great. As for the gun foundry, it can only be regarded as a windfall.
So the next step was to make full preparations for going to the South Seas, and a large amount of grain and various military supplies were constantly loaded onto the ship.
Some of the soldiers who did not participate in the Beishang Qinwang also began to converge to the various ports, after all, the battle had to be rotated. The soldiers who had gone north to King Qin were very tired after a long journey and needed to rest.
Such a big movement alarmed many people, including the spies of the imperial court.
Seeing this, they were taken aback, could it be that Lu Yan was planning to attack Beijing.
So they hurriedly flew horses to report to Jingshi, and the imperial court did not dare to slack off after learning the news.
Although Lu Yan said that he was going to attack the Nanyang countries. But who knows if this is a ploy to attack the West.
Now the fort in Tianjin was not built, if he landed in Tianjin. Then you will be able to go straight to Beijing.
So they hurriedly sent people to ask, and after receiving Lu Yan's assurance, they were still not at ease, so they still left some envoys here to observe the movements of those fleets.
After everything was ready, Lu Yan's army finally set off.
This time, he dispatched an even larger army, a total of more than 100 large and small warships, treasure ships, plus some of the forced requisition of civilian ships, a total of more than 50,000 people on land and water, the mighty fleet is enough to cover the sky and the sun, vowing to wipe out the entire Luzon in a war.
During the period when he was preparing to attack Luzon, Lu Yan also began to bring out all the prisoners who had been sentenced to prison for more than five years, but did not include the death penalty, and prepared to be sent to Nanyang after the organization.
In addition, there are also those students who have been assigned to Taiwan and the families of large families with bad work styles, all of whom have been shipped onto the ship and are ready to be sent to Nanyang together.
Of course, those displaced people don't want to run away.
Lu Yan had already decreed that all the exiles had been exempted from the taxes owed to the imperial court, and they did not have to pay taxes that year.
Nearly half a year has passed since this decree, and these people are still working as refugees, perhaps they have a last resort.
But after all, it is a factor of social instability.
Therefore, it is better to prepare for the distribution of Nanyang together.
These homeless and large families were organized for a certain amount of military training, and when they arrived in Nanyang, they were also issued weapons to protect themselves.
After all, those places can only be regarded as occupied areas, and they will definitely be counterattacked by the natives of Nanyang, and it is necessary to learn to defend themselves.
As for those students to let them study, it is estimated that they are not willing, and it is none of his business to die when the time comes. (To be continued)
