Southerners immigrated to Liaodong without worrying about their survival.

Zhu Yuanzhang carried out the reclamation of the real border, and most of the criminals assigned to Liaodong were residents from the south of the Yangtze River... They are said to be criminals, but in fact many are prisoners of hostile forces, or light criminals who are not enough to be exiled.

At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang's immigration work was well guaranteed in all details. Southerners emigrated to the Northeast, and the mortality rate was much lower than that of Huguang in the early Qing Dynasty!

After all, it is a cold and snowy land, and Zhao Han organized Liaoning immigrants this time, and the treatment is far more favorable than before.

Settlers were identified, and each person was issued two sets of winter clothes, which also included cotton hats and cotton boots. According to the principle of nearby arrangement, 20 people in the same village share a ploughing ox. The ownership of the ploughing cattle belonged to the collective of these twenty people, that is, the government gave them them.

Next year, it is expected that 60,000 people will migrate to Liaoning, and 3,000 cattle will be needed alone, but fortunately, a lot of them have been seized from the Tartars.

Hou Fangyu was appointed as the magistrate of Fushun County, and when the Tatars moved the capital and evacuated, the people there were looted, and many people were taken away to be used as grain carriers. Although it is a magistrate, the population under its rule can be more than 10,000 people at most.

Moreover, if the war continues next, Fushun will be the forefront of the Datong army's battle against the Tatars!

For now, the Datong army is also still sending troops to attack the Fushun Pass of the Liao Great Wall - after capturing the Fushun Pass, the Datong army can cross the Great Wall at any time and besiege the city of Sarhu under the control of the Tartars.

For this harsh environment, Hou Fangyu did not complain, because he took the initiative to apply to go to the Northeast.

First, for the sake of his own career, as long as he works hard in Liaoning, his political achievements will definitely not be buried;

Second, his father, Hou Sui, was involved in the political struggle of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, broke his legs alive, and starved in prison. When the Tartars evacuated Shenyang, Hou Sui was forgotten in the prison, and when the Datong army rescued him, Hou Sui was starving. Hou Fangyu went to Fushun to take care of his father.

"Let's sail!"

Several official ships departed from Nanjing, some went to Shanghai, and then took sea ships to Liaoning. Some follow the Grand Canal and go straight to the Hebei region. As for the Shaanxi side, most of the officials passed by from Hubei.

The officials were accompanied by many merchant ships.

Although the migrants have not yet left, they will have to wait until early spring next year to leave from the south. However, the merchants can't wait, and they have to arrive this winter. Gain a foothold, set up a simple warehouse, set up a shop in the city, and ship the goods in the spring.

Every time the Datong court expands its territory, it contains unlimited business opportunities, and many businessmen make a lot of money.

In the past, the government had to mobilize businessmen to develop new sites. Now the merchants are crazy to rob them, and the shops in the city on the new site have to bid for auctions to win them. Even in the neighborhoods that were burned to ruins during the siege, there were merchants who bought them and rebuilt their houses with their own money.

For small merchants, as long as they emigrate with their families, they can buy shops first, and do not have to compete with large merchants in auctions.

Moreover, these small merchants were protected by the government and could set off with the officials on official ships.

In a blink of an eye, he came to Shanghai to change ships, Hou Fangyu hadn't seen him for several years, and found that Shanghai was unusually prosperous. It is backed by the Yangtze River waterway, and its population is increasing, Sichuan, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu, ...... In the provinces along the Yangtze River, there are businessmen who come to do business.

"Hey, hey!"

Dock workers shouted the trumpet of labor, and the hybrid crane was slowly pulling up more than 20 sacks that were bundled.

Pulled to a certain height, the buffalo was stopped by the messenger.

The workers collectively pulled the ropes, and with the action of pulleys and gears, the long arms of the log began to turn and move. Stopping above the deck of the ship, the workers slowly lowered the ropes, and the more than 20 sacks landed steadily on the deck.

Such cargo cranes have appeared in several ports.

Most of the goods are still handled manually, especially fragile items such as porcelain. But bulky goods like grain, especially when in a hurry, will choose to rent a crane at the terminal - except for faster loading, there is not much difference in cost, after all, cranes also need to be built and maintained.

The real advantage is that you can handle items such as heavy siege guns, and that's the right way to use the crane.

Hou Fangyu got down from the inland river official ship, paced all the way around the wharf, and went to board the navy's big ship with other officials. What he saw along the way made him feel quite fresh, and this place is very different from Nanjing.

On the docks, you can occasionally see Japanese, all of whom are Japanese ronins who secretly came to China.

Tokugawa Iemitsu's policy changed again, and the previously open port was once again closed by the shogunate. There was only one port left, Nagasaki, for trade between China and the Netherlands, and only for trade with the shogunate.

After a short period of opening up, Japan once again chose to close itself off from the rest of the country, and the so-called Japanese invaders reappeared.

These would-be robbers did not have the courage to come to Chinese waters, and only robbed around the Ryukyus.

They were the personal armies of certain feudal lords, and Tokugawa Ieyasu repeatedly requested the establishment of diplomatic relations with China, but every time the slightest progress was made, they would be destroyed by the Japanese invaders, and these feudal lords must have been behind the evil.

There is another situation, which seems to be unexpected, and it is being cleaned up again.

When Zhao Han first opened his port, there were European merchant ships in various ports. But up to now, European merchant ships are almost extinct, and there are still French trading stations in Guangzhou.

The reason for this is that China's maritime merchants have made collective efforts, and commerce has monopolized the import and export trade along China's coastal areas.

Chinese maritime merchants have lower prices and local advantages, beating European maritime merchants in terms of price. Merchant ships from European countries are now simply waiting in Vietnam and Java, and the cost of buying Chinese goods from those places is lower than the cost of driving their own ships to China to buy goods.

France, which was also stirring up right and wrong everywhere, was expelled by various forces in Southeast Asia and was forced to go to Guangzhou to get goods at a high price.

Hou Fangyu successfully boarded the warship, stood on the deck and observed, and then two European ghosts came up.

"Mr. Wei is also going to Liaoning?" Hou Fangyu took the initiative to say hello.

Wei Kuangguo said: "A Jesuit was sent to Nanjing, but was not received by His Majesty. But His Majesty allowed him to look around, and when he heard that Liaodong was going to carry out a big migration, he accompanied this parishioner to go there. ”

Hou Fangyu looked at the other ghost.

Wei Kuangguo said: "The Han name of this parishioner is Nan Huairen, the south of Nanjing, and Huairen guards the Tao. ”

"Luckily!" Hou Fangyu gave up.

Nan Huairen said in broken Chinese: "Fortunately! ”

When Nan Huairen came to China this time, he first went to Macao, where more than 10 missionaries came.

The churches in Macao, due to the lack of financial support from the Netherlands, are all supported by Portuguese believers in Macao, and they are already a little unable to open. Hearing that it was even worse elsewhere and that the missionaries had to work to earn a living, the new missionaries left China one after another.

Only Nan Huairen chose to stay, after all, the stupid son of the landlord's family had enough money to mix in China for a few years - his father was a hereditary judge and tax collector in the Netherlands.

The three of them left the deck and went into the cabin to chat.

Wei Kuangguo did not hold a position in the Hanlin Academy due to his short time in China, but he studied under Julius and John Tang.

Guard, guard.

Kuang country, Kuang Fu country.

In this name, it is Daming who wants to defend Kuangfu......

"What is Mr. Wei currently studying?" Hou Fangyu asked.

Wei Kuangguo replied: "I am studying Chinese history, and I plan to write a history book to introduce China to Europe from the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to the Qin and Han dynasties. That is, the history of East Asia from the birth of mankind to the incarnation of Christ. Europeans don't know this, and they should and must understand that China had a glorious civilization before the coming of Christ Jesus. ”

Hou Fangyu nodded in approval: "This also has the merit of education, I wish you a smooth compilation of the book." ”

Wei Kuangguo said: "This Nan Huairen parishioner graduated from the University of Leuven. He was familiar with astronomy, geography, mathematics, calendars, mechanics, philosophy, and was skilled in cannon casting. Although His Majesty did not summon him, he was very impressed by his learning, so he allowed him to travel to Liaodong on a warship. After traveling to Liaodong, he will travel to the north and then prepare to go to Sichuan. ”

"It's a Western Confucian, rude, rude!" Hou Fangyu arched his hand and said.

Nan Huairen hurriedly bowed his hand: "In the next ...... Chinese ...... Learn...... Excuse me...... Please. ”

Hou Fangyu smiled: "It's not in the way." ”

The warship set sail two days later, accompanied by more than 20 merchant ships. One-third went to North Korea for trade, and two-thirds to Liaodong.

North Korea has laid flat on Chinese merchants, and the monarchs and courtiers are willing to trade. They traded ginseng and minerals, even North Korean grain, for various commodities from China, and they made a very good profit from it. As for ordinary North Korean citizens, it doesn't matter how much they starve to death, as long as they don't expose the rebellion.

A few days later, the fleet arrived at Port Arthur, where trade boomed rapidly after the war and a group of dock workers had arrived in advance.

The workers were also willing, and due to the lack of labor, the wages for working in Lushunkou were much higher than in Shanghai.

Hou Fangyu took the officials of Fushun County all the way from Jinzhou to Shenyang. He introduced the two Europeans along the way: "This is the territory of my Han family, which was stolen by the savages, and now there is not one Han in ten." Your Majesty has defeated the barbarians and rescued the living Han people. Even the Mongol and Jurchen commoners were forgiven and were able to share their land with the Han Chinese. ”

Nan Huairen's Chinese has always been listened to, but not very well spoken. I have been communicating in Chinese these days, and I am already more fluent than when I was in Shanghai.

He observed the situation along the way, asked some more questions, and began to write a diary when he arrived in Shenyang:

"I followed the Chinese officials and had already arrived in the old capital of Tatar. The invincible Tatars, who had stormed the capital of China a few years earlier. Even Shenyang, the old capital of Tatar, was snatched from Chinese and now recaptured by the Chinese emperor......"

"China is a vast country, and the place designated as Liaoning is larger than many countries in Europe, and the climate is similar to that of Northern Europe. The Chinese here, killed too much by the Tatars, the Chinese emperor decided to emigrate. Next year's immigration is set at 60,000. This is not a march of 60,000 troops, but a family of 60,000 people. Land needed to be settled, seeds and cattle needed to be cultivated, and even the Chinese emperor was provided with winter clothing. I don't think there is any monarch in Europe who can do that. ”

"What's even more terrifying is that migration of this magnitude has been carried out many times in other provinces. The 60,000 people who emigrated next year will only arrive in Liaodong. At the same time, 100,000 immigrants to Shaanxi and 100,000 immigrants to Hebei were also immigrants...... Incredible scale of immigration. ”

"His Majesty the Pope forbids Chinese believers to worship their ancestors, which I think is inconsiderate. China has its own traditions, and they have their own beliefs. Christianity must follow this tradition, otherwise it will be difficult to carry out missionary activities......"

"Today, I watched the execution ceremony in Shenyang, where a group of traitors were beheaded en masse. I heard that the benevolent emperor of China wanted to send these traitors to the mines. But the emperor's teacher, an old wise man, and a large number of Liaoning officers, wrote letters demanding severe punishment for treason. The emperor gave them permission to put to death all the traitors before the Tatars entered the passes, and all those notorious fellows......"

Shang Kexi had already been beheaded, Kong Youde, Zu Dashou, Wu Sangui and others were collectively beheaded outside Shenyang City.

Zu Dashou cried and complained at the execution ground: "Lao Tzu has been holding on to Ningjin for 20 years, but he has been besieged and his food is exhausted, and he will not surrender if he eats human flesh." finally surrendered, but also the reinforcements did not come, my ancestor Dashou lived up to the Ming! ”

Wu Sangui just knelt on the execution ground and didn't speak, staring blankly at the beheading of the traitor around him, and the onlookers erupted in cheers.

"Poof!"

The executioner squirted liquor into the blade of the knife and pressed it down against Wu Sangui's neck.

Brush!

The knife flashed, and the head fell to the ground.
