If there is a business, people are needed, and there are indispensable people to do the loading and unloading of ships, and it is not used for filial piety to consider this matter for the merchants, and the merchants themselves have solved this problem, and some people who have nowhere to make a living on the shore know that they need manpower here, so they find a way to come to Nanri Island, and go to the commercial port to find work, and gradually a loading and unloading team of dozens of people has been formed, which is responsible for waiting for work on the wharf.

In addition, Yu Xiaotian sent some of his subordinates, and after returning to his hometown, he also secretly began to recruit immigrants to Nanri Island, driven by interests, these guys went around lobbying those villagers who couldn't afford to buy land, or lost their land, and informed them of the conditions of the sea wolf, patting their chests and promising that they would never lie to them.

So some people tentatively followed them back to Nanri Island, and sure enough, they got the land from the wolf's den and began to cultivate the island.

A long time ago, Nanri Island was actually not a desert island, from the Song and Yuan dynasties, there were fishermen or farmers on the island to farm, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, more people hid on Nanri Island, and later after the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the sea of Japanese robbers gradually flooded, which led to the inability of Nanri Island to survive, in order to prevent the Japanese from preparing for the Japanese, the Ming Dynasty court issued an order to order the residents of the island to move to land, so that Nanri Island was deserted.

Now a lot of land on the island used to be cultivated land, but now it is overgrown with weeds, and you only need to get rid of the weeds, and after thorough ploughing, you can resume farming, and after two or three years of intensive cultivation, there will not be too many weeds in the field.

In addition, Yu Xiaotian tried his best to support the immigrants who came here to settle down and reclaim the wasteland, providing them with cattle and farm tools in the form of loans, and also helping them build houses and settle down, by the time of November of the third year of the Apocalypse, three villages had gradually formed on the island, Yu Xiaotian actually named these three villages Xiushan, Xiutian and Xiuhai in an elegant manner, and the next step will continue to introduce immigrants to settle on the island and fill these three small island villages.

Even when Xiaotian was busy tossing his Nanri Island, he did not forget to inquire about the news of the Dutch who stole Penghu in the south.

There is basically no difference from the history in his memory, after Nan Juyi took up the post of governor of Fujian, he was ordered to put all his attention on the Dutch, and dispatched troops in Fujian, concentrating almost all available ships and troops, ready to give the Dutch a hand.

But what Nan Juyi didn't expect was that the Dutch were not as easy to deal with as he thought, and the Dutch were not afraid of the Ming Dynasty officials at all, and refused to withdraw from the Penghu Islands, on the contrary, they continued to attack the coastal areas of Quanzhou, Zhangzhou, and Chaozhou.

Moreover, because there were pirates and maritime merchants who sent news to the Dutch, the Dutch knew in advance that the Fujian officials were going to use troops against them, so the Dutch entrenched in the Penghu Islands took the first step, taking advantage of their strong ships and guns, and sent the East India Company fleet to unite with some pirates in the Guangdong area, and recently blocked the Haikou outside Zhangzhou.

What is Haikou in Zhangzhou? Not to mention anything else, the Moon Port has already illustrated the importance of this place, because the Moon Port is the only officially approved port in the Ming Dynasty to open to maritime trade in this era, although the Moon Port is not a port with good natural conditions, but it is the only port in the Ming Dynasty that can legally go to sea to trade.

Ships and merchants from all over the country gathered in Yuegang, handling a large amount of goods every day, which brought great benefits to the local government and the government.

Nan Juyi gathered troops and warships, and also chose Zhangzhou, the Dutch saw this, sent a fleet to blockade Zhangzhou Haikou, and cut off the only legal trade port for the Ming Dynasty to go to sea.

The Dutch did this, but the merchants concentrated in the Moon Port were pitted, the ships were sealed in the Moon Port, no entry and exit, a large number of goods were hoarded in the Moon Port, no way to enter and exit, even the officers and soldiers assembled in Zhangzhou, could not go to sea.

For this reason, the two sides clashed many times in the area of Zhangzhou Haikou, but the Dutch are now known as the coachmen of the sea, and most of their ships are new Galen ships, because of their natural structural advantages, these Dutch warships can be loaded with a large number of artillery, and the ships are also very tall and strong, even the most ordinary armed merchant ships, at least a dozen large-caliber guns can be loaded.

Don't look at the Dutch fleet does not have the most powerful warships of this era, most of them are composed of some ordinary armed merchant ships, and the number is also very limited, but they are still at sea in the face of the Chinese sailing ships of this era, they have a great advantage in firepower, several times the Ming army sailors have not been able to bargain in front of them, on the contrary, the Dutch sank more than a dozen Ming warships, so that the Ming army assembled in Zhangzhou Port was blocked in Zhangzhou Port, and it was also impossible to advance or retreat.

After hearing the news, Yu Xiaotian didn't know what he felt in his heart, just two hundred years ago, when the sailors of the Ming Dynasty looked at the world, it was still an invincible symbol, and the majesty of the fleet led by Zheng He to the West can be described as invincible in the four seas.

If it weren't for the Ming Dynasty's change of thinking and the policy of banning the sea again, the Ming Dynasty would not have fallen to such a point now, being bullied by a small Dutch fleet from afar.

It is important to know that this time Nan Juyi used the power of the two provinces of Daming to start a war with the Dutch, and the Dutch at best sent a very small number of armed merchant ships of their East India Company and some light warships, and they were able to bully the Daming sailors into such virtues, which was undoubtedly very humiliating for him, a Chinese with strong national self-esteem.

It is this policy of forbidding the sea that has completely ruined the Chinese's dream of the sea, so that in the future, they have been repeatedly bullied by foreign enemies in history, and even in the era before him, the Chinese's maritime footsteps have always been controlled within the first island chain.

Now is the time! The Chinese began to be bullied by these small nights, not to mention Macau, the Spaniards controlled Manila, the Dutch also extended their paws to Penghu, and later controlled the island of Taiwan.

In fact, at this time, China's sea has begun to look around as a strong enemy, and if it continues like this, history will be completely repeated, and the Chinese's maritime dream will probably be completely buried.

Thinking of this, Yu Xiaotian's heart twitched violently, stood up suddenly, and began to pace back and forth in the hall.

Sitting in the hall, Liu Laoliu and the others, who were chatting with Yu Xiaotian, were a little strange about Xiaotian's reaction, they were talking about the red-haired people just now, and suddenly Yu Xiaotian began to become restless after hearing these things, and at this moment there was a dangerous atmosphere all over his body, which made everyone in the hall feel a little uneasy.

Yu Xiaotian felt more like a trapped beast at this moment, trying to break free from some restraints, but he didn't know what had stimulated him and made him so restless.

"Big boss, the red-haired man hasn't stretched out his hand to us now, after all, there are Fujian officials and officers and soldiers who are holding them up, and they don't have time to stretch their hands to us, so why worry about the big boss?" Liu Laoliu smiled and said to Yu Xiaotian, who was wandering around the room.

Yu Xiaotian raised his hand and said, "I'm not worried about this, I'm angry!" Think about our huge Ming Dynasty, the territory is so broad, but we have to be bullied by such small people as the red-haired people, although we are thieves, but we are at least the people of the Ming Dynasty!

We are born as Han people and die as Han ghosts! How can we watch our Ming being bullied like this? Even though I'm a pirate, I feel very unhappy!

Let's go! That's all for today, I have a few things I want to think about quietly! ”

Liu Laoliu and Fang An, who was sitting on the side, looked at each other, both a little strange Yu Xiaotian's reaction, but Yu Xiaotian said that he wanted to be alone and quiet at this time, and it was inconvenient for them to stay here longer, so everyone had to get up and say goodbye and leave Yu Xiaotian's meeting room.
