Yes, the Dutch needed a decent reason to surrender.

After Su Buheng learned about the distribution of the strength of the eleven strongholds of the Dutch, he took out the soldiers from the Nanyang Infantry Brigade and divided them into eleven teams to receive the strongholds of the Dutch.

Su Buheng met the needs of the Dutch by forging the letter of the governor of Batavia, although every Dutch stronghold saw that it was a fake letter.

However, when they learned from the prisoners released by the First Fleet that Batavia had fallen, they pretended to be confused and surrendered to the First Fleet in accordance with the orders contained in the letter.

Surrender is humiliating.

No one was willing to surrender, because if they returned to the country, they would be despised by others, but since the Governor had ordered the surrender, they would only have to move the Governor out as a shield.

Eleven Dutch strongholds surrendered within two months, and the Nanyang Infantry Brigade split up half of its strength, with an average of 500 soldiers per stronghold defending.

One of the farthest strongholds in Sri Lanka was the Dutch trade point for cinnamon, which had previously been monopolized by the Portuguese.

Su Buheng learned that Sri Lanka still had five Dutch warships, so he sent five warships to Sri Lanka, and it was also necessary to establish a stronghold in Sri Lanka, because India in the north could be used as a springboard for trade with India.

Su Buheng personally stayed in Batavia to meet with the Chinese in the Indonesian archipelago, there are many Chinese in the Indonesian archipelago, the first fleet hit here, and the Chinese on the islands received the news and sent representatives with enough prestige to meet Wang Shi.

The king of Java, who maintained the rule, Su Buheng remained for the time being, and the king of Indonesia learned that it was the Ming army that drove away the Dutch, and eagerly thanked Su Buheng for recovering the territory for him, but was kicked to the ground by Su Buheng, stepping on his head and scolding: "You fuck, get out." ”

When meeting with the Indonesian Chinese, Su Buheng first asked how many Chinese there were in a certain place, and then sent soldiers of various sizes to protect their safety.

The Chinese in Indonesia seemed to be in a dream, and suddenly Wang Shi called, and most of the taxes of the Chinese were reduced, leaving only one business tax.

As for the taxes of the local natives, under the persecution of Su Buheng, the king of Java added several miscellaneous taxes such as birth tax to the various taxes promulgated by the Dutch.

In terms of control of the island of Java, the king of Java is still used to control the tribes, and at the same time, second-line soldiers are recruited from the Chinese in Java, and weapons are issued for training, preparing to gradually clean up the Indonesian natives on the island of Java.

Zhao Yan from later generations, the Nanyang monkey is one of the objects he hates the most, and at the same time he is the most disgusted. Since the 1960s, when the Indonesian military came to power, the Indonesian regime has begun to exclude Chinese on a large scale. In the name of the "Qing Communists", they massacred more than 500,000 Chinese. By 1998, Indonesia's anti-Chinese turmoil had recurred, and thousands of Chinese were killed, and the Chinese on the island of Java often bore the brunt.

In '98, there was a tragedy of anti-Chinese people in Indonesia, and there were nearly 5,000 incidents of forcible annihilation and rotational annihilation of Chinese women, with an average of 100 cases a day in Jakarta, and some children were fried and eaten.

The history of blood and tears of the Chinese nation in Nanyang is tragic and unbearable.

Since Zhao Yan has come to this era, he naturally wants to settle the accounts in advance, so before Su Buheng set off, Zhao Yan told him that he would clean up all the natives in Nanyang in the future.

It's just that for the time being, when there are not so many immigrants, some of them will be cleaned up first, and then most of them will be cleaned up.

In Batavia, Su Buheng also planted more than 10,000 rubber trees, which were planted in Shandong two years ago and are now growing into saplings.

Since then, more than 100,000 seeds have been planted in Shandong, and the seeds of rubber trees have been transported back from the Americas every year, and these rubber trees have to be transplanted to the heat belt after they grow into saplings.

Although rubber trees can grow in cold zones, they do not secrete rubber when they grow up.

In order to facilitate management, Su Buheng demarcated eight Chinese gathering areas in Batavia and the surrounding areas, and at the same time called on the Chinese people on the island of Java to concentrate in the Chinese gathering areas.

The names Batavia and Java were not good, so Su Buheng sent a clipper back to Shandong to ask Zhao Yan what name he wanted to change, and asked for a batch of muskets to be transferred to equip the local Chinese.

Su Buheng stayed in Batavia for a month, stabilized the situation on the island of Java, and many Chinese from all over the country came to the designated settlement area to make a living.

The Chinese who come to the settlement area are all given 300 mu of land to each household.

Han Sheng and his soldiers cleaned up the surrounding area of Batavia for a few days, exterminating more than a dozen indigenous tribes, and the land was in hand, and the Chinese who ran plantations on the island of Java also fled to the settlement.

There are nearly 50,000 Chinese in Java.

This colony will be easier to develop, but there will be nothing to do with Su Buheng in the future, and in three months at most, the governor of Java will come to take office.

After the arrival of the Governor of Java, a complete purge of Java will be carried out.

At present, there are four Islamic countries in the whole of Java, and only West Java is currently under control, and there are three Islamic countries in the east, and the main task of the Nanyang Infantry Brigade is to eliminate these Nanyang natives.

After the eradication, labor is not a problem, just immigrate from the Ming Dynasty.

In the stronghold of the Dutch, the First Fleet captured more than sixty merchant ships one after another, which were large enough for the emigration mission.

The goods seized from the merchant ships and strongholds amounted to about 20 million taels, which was regarded as a large income, and the warships captured 10 ships in Dayuan Harbor and sailed to the shipyard in Songjiang for assembly.

After defeating the stronghold of the Dutch, Su Buheng withdrew most of the troops in most of the strongholds, and with the current strength of the Nanyang Infantry Brigade, it was really impossible to spread such a vast area, and he had to concentrate his forces to deal with the natives on the island of Java.

Anyway, there aren't so many merchant ships coming here to trade, and those strongholds are dispensable at the moment, and if you leave one or two hundred people there and don't oppress the locals, there will generally not be much of a problem.

After solving the stronghold of the Dutch, Su Buheng began to prepare to attack the Strait of Malacca, which was controlled by the Portuguese, capture Malacca, and then control the rest of the passages, and it was impossible for the Europeans to slip into East Asia from the west.

…… At this time in Mongolia, the first division began to divide into two routes, some of which repeatedly swept in the south and north of the desert, and they swept away the Mongolian tribes that did not surrender.

The other part marched west with Lu Xiangsheng's 50,000 Xuan soldiers and horses.

Officials sent from Shandong quickly administered the Mongol tribes, which were managed in a simple way, first confiscating all weapons and demarcating the ranges of pastures for the tribes to graze.

Each tribe had a yamen to administer and a certain number of soldiers to keep the unarmed Mongols at bay.

After the surrender of the Mongol army, the allied tribes were at peace and surrendered, and the confiscation of weapons proceeded relatively smoothly, while the knives used by the Mongols to slaughter cattle and sheep were centralized.

As a result, the Mongols were left without weapons, which was much easier to manage, and at the same time further confiscated horses.

These horses were all centrally managed, and the Mongols could ride them when they went out to graze, but that was not enough to arm the young and strong men of a tribe.

Weapons and horses were confiscated, and half of the Mongols were drafted into the army.

A total of 30,000 people were recruited in the entire Mobei, plus the previous 90,000 people, enough of 120,000 Mongols were incorporated into the battle queue, forming a huge cavalry corps with the four cavalry battalions of the first division, and then swept Moxi.

Each cavalry brigade carried 30,000 Mongol cavalry, and the sweep of Moxi was simply immense, which had risen to a strategic sweep.

Liu Heng drew a line on the map, and the cavalry brigade lined up from this line, and then swept over, with so many troops, it was easy to sweep Moxi Mongolia.

Those tribes that did not surrender were killed by men who were taller than the wheels, according to Mongol custom. And those Mongols who surrendered, they would remain in the army and serve until they died.

If the Mongols rebelled, they would basically be strangled in the cradle under strict guard. A whistleblowing system has also been introduced among the Mongols, and anyone who finds someone wrongdoing can report it, and the rewards are very rich, ranging from hundreds of sheep to tens of thousands.

Even if all the Mongols understand that the Shandong army is where they are cannon fodder, and they will be exterminated if they continue to fight like this, there will always be traitors, there is no doubt about this.

After peacetime battles, the Mongols' weapons were to be confiscated.

The Mongols, who had already surrendered, had no choice, and although they were reluctant to hand over their weapons and horses, they fell deeper and deeper into the quagmire, unable to extricate themselves.

Migration to Mongolia also continued, with 100,000 households emigrating to Mongolia in three months, all concentrated in the Monan region, which is dominated by the Hetao.

The Mongol tribes in Monan have basically been cleared, and the whole of Monan is under control, and the captured cattle, sheep and Mongolian women have also begun to graze on the vast pastures of Monan.

A total of 5.6 million sheep, 2.3 million cattle, and 1.8 million horses were captured, of which the number of horses is rising.

The horses that rose were mainly horses confiscated from Mobei and horses from the Moxi sweep.

The fur market in Zhangjiakou flourished again with the Ministry of Commerce auctioning off those tanneries. Not all of the Jin merchants who were confiscated were confiscated, and those who were not involved in it poured into the fur market.

With the opening of Mobei and Moxi, the source of fur has become more, and at the same time, with the opening of loan business in Zhangjiakou by Denglai Bank, Jin merchants do not need to worry about funds, and they can get a loan of silver immediately by taking the real estate of their families, and at the same time Denglai Bank began to open branches to the trade points of Mobei and Moxi, and merchants only need to carry silver tickets, which is very convenient.

In addition to the influx of Jin merchants into Mongolia, Shandong merchants also poured into Mongolia with their armies.

Many merchants followed the army to do business, and when the army grabbed something to sell, they directly paid for it, and they also contracted a part of the supplies that the army needed.

In addition to the things that the logistics department wants, some businessmen will also write things that the logistics department does not say, and if they buy it correctly, they can send a sum of money.

For example, a Shandong merchant shipped a lot of raincoats to Mongolia, but all of them were purchased, and the price was several times higher than the cost. With the arrival of summer, watermelons began to ripen, and a Shandong businessman transported more than 100,000 catties of watermelons to Mongolia, but was bought by the soldiers of each battalion.

There are restrictions on the goods that can be sold to soldiers, messy things cannot be sold, and fruit is the only category that is not restricted.

Soldiers generally have some pocket money on them, and when they are fighting outside, they don't care so much about what they like.

Seeing that the merchant behind him transported a large pile of watermelons, he naturally snapped them up.

Those Shandong merchants also began to learn to do fur business, wool is generally not available, Zhao Quan asked people from the Ministry of Commerce to come to Mongolia to collect wool, and the textile factory can handle wool.

In terms of fur, the Ministry of Commerce did not go too far, but the cowhide was all needed, and the cowhide could be made into leather armor, belts, leather boots and other equipment needed by soldiers.

After the Shandong merchants bought the skins, they sold them to the tannery in Zhangjiakou, and most of the tanneries in Zhangjiakou were bought by the Shandong merchants.

At present, the merchants of Shandong are no longer the original Shandong merchants, and the current Shandong merchants are very complex, and there are people from all over the Ming Dynasty.

Since the development of Shandong, there have been many business opportunities in Shandong, many businessmen outside Shandong have gone to Shandong to develop, at the same time some small traders in Shandong have also made a fortune, coupled with the support of interest-free loans, the current scale of Shandong businessmen can be much larger than before, operating in various industries, but as long as there is money, the opportunity to make a fortune is everywhere.

The most rapid development of Shandong is the construction industry, Zhao Yan has been repairing projects year after year, while the people of Shandong continue to build new houses, and the construction industry has developed rapidly.

There have been more than 30 cement plants, the production technology of these cement plants is the same as Zhao Yan's cement plant, but these cement plants are constantly renovating the cement formula, although the research and development strength can not be compared with the Denglai cement plant, but the development momentum is very strong, which is also what Zhao Yan is happy to see.

As soon as Shandong's engineering team contracted the cabinet's water conservancy project, Shandong businessmen immediately ran to the vicinity of the construction site to open a factory, they knew that Zhao Yan was unwilling to transport cement from Shandong to too far away, after all, the cost was relatively high, so as long as the quality was passed, the price would be lower and the construction team would be purchased.

However, the recent sudden drop in the price of the Denglai Cement Plant was unexpected by many businessmen, and they learned that the Denglai Cement Factory used a steam engine for production.

The cement factories also rushed to order steam engines, and the steam engine manufacturing plants, which had injected new financial resources, expanded production again.

After a few months of construction, the production line of the steam engine is almost complete, and the production of steam engine parts with steam engines and machine tools is the core research direction.

The steam engine manufacturing plant wanted better, more sophisticated machine tools, faster and lower cost production technology, and after a few months, many components were determined to have a steam engine production line.

Those that were not determined were to be produced by hand first, but with more people, and with the orders of the merchants, the manufactory had enough money to recruit manpower.

Mongolia's business opportunities are not limited to this, with the increase in immigration, Mongolia's business opportunities have also begun to increase, in addition to the army's logistics department, soldiers' business, but also immigrants' business.

Of course, to do business in Mongolia, paying taxes is required.

In the territory controlled by Zhao Yan, evading commercial taxes is a very serious matter, and if you are caught, you will definitely be punished to death, and basically few businessmen are willing to evade taxes.
