According to household statistics, there are more than 4 million people in both Fujian and Guangdong.

However, Fujian has a Taiwan prefecture and Guangdong has a Qiongzhou prefecture (Hainan Island). A large number of landless people in Fujian and Guangdong were immigrated to the coastal areas of Taiwan and Hainan Island for reclamation.

The cost of this kind of immigration is not high, and you can just take a boat.

In the first year, it is often burned directly, and the primitive agricultural technique of slash-and-burn cultivation is very effective in cultivating raw land. You don't have to go through the effort of cutting down trees, burning the ashes left over from the waste, and it can also be used as fertilizer to nourish crops.

In the central and northern parts of the island alone, more than 600,000 Han Chinese have settled down one after another—50,000 or 60,000 of them were immigrated by Zheng Zhilong when he was a pirate.

Digging out the population that immigrated to Taiwan, and then digging out the coastal port cities, in the huge rural areas of Fujian, there are actually only about 2 million peasants left.

Therefore, although there is not much arable land in Fujian, farmers really have no shortage of land to plant!

The degree of development on Hainan Island is much higher than that on Taiwan Island. There are more than 1 million Han Chinese and Shuli who have settled down, and most of them emigrated to the island during the Ming Dynasty. The ancestors of these Han people, about 300,000-500,000, were organized by the Ming government to emigrate, and many of them were military households and exiled prisoners.

This time, Zhao Han told the world that he used policies to encourage overseas development, and in addition to many street slippers, there were also a large number of businessmen who heard the news.

When they arrived in Luzon, they were told that they were not allowed to seize the territory of friendly indigenous tribes.

The so-called goodwill tribes are the tribes that follow the Datong army and attack Manila together. There are also tribes that quietly accepted and protected the Chinese survivors after the massacre.

These tribes have been registered one after another.

At the same time, the coastal zone on the west side of Luzon Island was divided into five administrative districts, and five prefectures were appointed to administer it. Hermes-Epitek's pioneering areas were all centered on the five major county towns, and for the time being, they only engaged in agricultural cultivation and port trade, and did not go into the mountains to look for gold and silver mines.

It is said to swallow the whole of Luzon, but in fact, it can only control the western coastal area, and 80% of the territory of the whole island is still in the hands of the indigenous people.

With more than 2,000 Chinese refugees, Wan Zhaoan, who attacked Spanish plantations everywhere, has become the owner of the plantation at this moment. He was assigned to a tobacco plantation by drawing lots, and the girl he rescued halfway was also accepted as a concubine by him.

A wife, a concubine, a father-in-law, the whole family has more than 200 acres of land, and there are 13 natives as tenants for them.

They are all serfs left by the Spaniards, and they are very good at growing tobacco, but no one likes to be lazy.

Wan Zhaoan gathered the tenants, took out the employment contract, and said: "Come and draw a handprint, I will temporarily divide the tobacco plantation into 13 plots of land, and lease it to you for farming." I will sell the tobacco that I grow every year, and 60% of the money from the sale will go to me and 40% to you. If you want to make more money, just farm me honestly! ”

Indigenous tenants are used to being serfs, and they don't know what tenant rent is, but they just press their handprints in a daze.

The indigenous tenants were then led out to inspect the land they cultivated. After tossing for several days, I finally understood what it meant, and my enthusiasm for farming increased slightly.

If you want to really let them work hard, you have to harvest the tobacco.

When the time comes, call everyone and hand out the money in front of everyone. Some people take less money, and some take more money, so you can experience the benefits of hard work.

Wan Zhaoan is still kind-hearted, and he actually left forty percent for the tenants.

The real traditional landlords do not give tenants a share at all, but directly set the amount of tenant rent. Even in the event of a natural disaster, the tenant has to pay the rent according to the fixed amount, and if the payment is not enough, of course, he sells his children and daughters to borrow usury.

Wan Zhaoan didn't think about exploiting the indigenous tenants, because he was thinking about making the cake bigger.

The whole family of four has not occupied enough 400 acres of land, and 13 tenants planting more than 200 acres of land is too wasteful of manpower. After all, this is a tobacco plantation, and it is not as intensive as growing grain, and it is easy for a tenant to grow 10 acres of land.

He then reclaimed the wasteland around the area, and for only three years he had cultivated it, and the taxes were very light during the three years.

The first generation of Luzon Hanmins settled in this way.

What awaits them will be the tax adjustment in the next two or three years. For example, tobacco and sugar cane are heavily taxed, and grain is lightly taxed—don't think about filing taxes indiscriminately, because the number of Han people is too small, and the Han people have little land, and officials can see everything when they go around the countryside.

Zheng Guozhong, who sent an envoy to Nanjing and was in charge of negotiations, was promoted to the governor of Luzon, and was promoted several ranks at once.

That black buddy, Tie Hong, became the first Luzon general soldier.

Luzon, which had been cut off from trade for more than half a year, countless merchants came to Manila with a backlog of goods. Then they heard the news, and another swarm of goods was shipped to Cebu Island and sold to the Spaniards to be sold in the Americas.

Cebu Island became the new commercial center of the South Seas, and Manila became a transit point for Chinese maritime merchants.

In the winter of that year, a word spread widely: Luzon was rich in gold!

In the coastal prefectures and counties of Fujian, Guangdong, and Zhejiang, many traditional landlords whose land had been confiscated and who had a lot of money could not sit still when they heard the news. They recruited their own men and organized a trip to the southeastern part of Luzon to pan for gold while occupying land.

There is no official mansion set up by Zhao Han there at all!

It wasn't until the gold prospectors grew to more than 3,000 that the governor of Luzon, Zheng Guozhong, requested a sixth county here.

As the first gold producer in East Asia, Luzon discovered gold mines at this time were in the southeast of the island. Moreover, it is mainly based on golden sand, which has been panning for hundreds of years, and the output is actually very low, so low that the Spaniards are too lazy to intervene.

Zhao Han didn't bother to intervene, because he had already received the news and knew that there was not much gold produced there.

The real big gold mine is still in the territory of the natives, and the devil knows when it will be discovered!

However, the Luzon copper mine, due to its large scale, was taken over by the government, and the governor was ordered to organize manpower mining.

……

Turn back to June.

Gushi Khan, who occupied Qinghai and Tibet, sent his sixth son to Nanjing to express his intention to submit. As early as eight years ago, he had contacted Huang Taiji and expressed his friendly attitude towards the Manchu regime.

Even, this goods also sent the seventh son to Taiyuan to make friends with Li Zicheng.

In a word, Gushi Khan is good friends with everyone, and he only wants to be the emperor of Qinghai and Tibet.

Since Gushi Khan promised to return to Shun, Zhao Han did not want to cause trouble, and sent an envoy to canonize him as the king of Shunyi. When he freed his hands, Gushi Khan broke out internal contradictions again, and it was not too late to recover Qinghai and Tibet.

Just transferred Sichuan troops and took advantage of the end of the summer harvest to go to Guizhou!

The whole of Guizhou, nominally belonging to the puppet court of Yunnan, has in essence been ruled by Tusi An Rupan.

However, An Rupan is unlikely to sweep Guizhou. The way he unified Guizhou was to divide the small toasts and make the big toasts himself. More than 20 Tusi were divided into southern Guizhou, who listened to both the Yunnan court and An Rupan, but it was possible that no one would listen to them.

Guiyang.

An Rupan was furious: "It's okay to say that Pu'an (Panxian) Tusi didn't come, after all, it's far away." Why didn't Wolong, Dalong, Jinshifan, and Pingzhou Six Caves come? After gathering troops for a month, they haven't gathered yet, and the puppet thieves are about to be killed in Guiyang! ”

The two divisions of the Datong Army in Sichuan, one under the command of Huang Qi, from Xuyong to Chishui, and one under the command of Fei Yinghui, from Zunyi to Guiyang.

And the two divisions of Guangxi also entered the southeast of Guizhou.

The Yunnan puppet court received a request for help and adopted a strategy of standing still, and Mu Tianbo did not send troops at all, because he was suppressing the Tusi rebellion.

And the lord of Guizhou, An Rupan, issued an order to gather troops, and there were only 40,000 people gathered in a month.

Yanglongpit was easily broken by Fei Yinghui and his troops, and it was bombarded with artillery for a long time, and the defenders directly chose to surrender. Continuing to the south, the thousands of households of the Ming Dynasty in Xifeng looked at the wind and fell, and Fei Yinghui attacked Zazosi in a month.

In a certain time and space, this is Wang Yuan's hometown, and not far from the next door is Wang Yangming's enlightened Longchang Station.

Zazosi is the territory of the Song clan in Shuidong, a Tusi family that has become so sinicized that it is crazy to produce poets. They nominally returned to Shun'an Rupan, but when they encountered the Datong army, they also surrendered.

Continuing to the south, it is the old nest of the Shuidong Song clan.

An Rupan was afraid that the Song family would surrender, so he personally led the army to take down the village first, put all the elders of the Song family under house arrest, and incorporated more than 3,000 Song soldiers by the way.

Finally, Fei Yinghui came with the troops.

10,000 regular soldiers, 3,000 peasant soldiers, and 20,000 civilian troops surrounded the Song family's chain of villages.

These are two stockades, connected by valleys in the middle, which can support each other at any time, and there is a Song family's northern ya, which is built like a royal palace.

On the periphery of the two stockades, each with half of its troops, dragged out the artillery and began to bombard.

"Boom, boom!"

An Rupan listened to the earth-shattering cannon outside, and only felt his heart beating, sooner or later it would be over.

He has more than 40,000 people in his hands, and he has pulled 20,000 to come here, and there are still 20,000 guarding Guiyang. In addition, more than 20,000 Shuixi elites, due to the difficulty of the mountain road, gathered directly in Chishui and Bijie to guard against the Huangqi front army there.

If the friendly troops in Guangxi knew about the situation, they would definitely envy the Sichuan soldiers, because this is really too easy to fight.

An Rupan actually did not drill into the mountains, but mobilized troops to divide troops to defend the city, and siege warfare was much easier than guerrilla warfare.

A native soldier climbed over the mountain and descended from the cliff on the east side of the stockade.

"Lord, the prince said that there will be a night attack tonight!"

"Good!"

An Rupan was overjoyed.

The enemy actually divided his troops to attack the two villages, and the defenders of the two villages could transfer troops at will through the valley. In addition, his son An Kun transferred an army from Guiyang, and he will definitely be able to attack at night from inside and outside, and annihilate all the Datong army that has been separated!

Fei Yinghui was sitting in the camp, and the spies from the white pole soldiers also quickly rushed in to report: "General, there are enemy troops in the south. They did not take the official road, but took the trail over the mountains, and are now hiding in a valley a few miles to the south. ”

Fei Yinghui couldn't help laughing: "I was planning to leave the empty camp and transfer troops to attack Guiyang, but I didn't expect the enemy army in Guiyang to come and attack me." ”
