However, compared with the large number of private fields of Tufan, the official fields controlled by the Ming court accounted for only a small part of the cultivated fields in Luzon.

Most of the official fields in Luzon were cultivated by the Han people and soldiers themselves.

So when he saw that the number of Dongpu Guantian was much higher than that of Fantian, Li Du was also surprised.

"My lord, since the Tatars entered the customs, there have been a large number of Ming people to the south of Annam, when I waited for Dongpu, this place has long been mixed with Han people, these years I have recruited Han people here, vigorously reclaimed wasteland, set up a township community, so there are these fields." Chen Shangchuan smiled bitterly.

With the natural conditions of Dongpu and the hard work of the Ming people, even without the blessing of a commercial and trade place like Haxian Town, just cultivating Dongpu is enough to become a land of fish and rice.

It's a pity that the Zhenla people are so involved, not to mention the thousands of people who were killed and injured, just the thieves from all over the place, the Tufan forces are enough to keep the Dongpu Ming army busy.

It can be said that the current Dongpu is really back to the pre-liberation period overnight.

Seeing Chen Shangchuan smiling bitterly, Li Du persuaded, "General Chen, don't worry, it's just a thief, I have met it on the road, but it's just some local chickens and dogs, wait for me to lead the tiger soldiers and Dongpu Ming people to sweep away these dirt fans." ”

"Then thank you, sir." Li Shi on the side heard it and said with great joy.

These days, the soldiers of the former Haiying went around to put out fires and pacify the lives of the rogues in various places.

All because of the lack of manpower of the Ming officers and soldiers, they failed to pacify the Liukou.

Now that the king of the Ming court has arrived, the good days of these chaotic people are naturally coming to an end.

"Wang Tong, I order you to lead three hundred tiger soldiers and General Li and General Wang to pacify the Dongpu Liukou together." Li Du ordered.

"The last general commands." After Wang Tong received Li Du's order, he immediately set off to follow several Dongpu generals out of the city.

This time he didn't bring the Shenji Artillery Battalion, after all, it was just to exterminate the Liukou, if the officers and soldiers of Huben Town couldn't even exterminate the Liukou, then he Wang Tong would still find a rope to hang him.

Seeing Wang Tong and Li Shi and others leaving, Chen Shangchuan also breathed a sigh of relief.

In this way, the Tufanliukou of Dongpu will surely be pacified soon.

"Lord Chen, now that I have sent Huben Town to exterminate the rogues in Dongpu, then the displaced people who are now resettled in Nongnai City can also be sent back to the nearby villages, and now Dongpu still needs to resume production as soon as possible." Li Du looked at Chen Shangchuan and opened his mouth to persuade.

"We naturally understand that as long as the Ming army exterminates the Dongpu Liukou, the thousands of people who remain in Nongnai City will move back to the nearby villages one by one."

Chen Shangchuan was worried that if the people were sent back to the village, they would be harassed or even slaughtered by thieves, so thousands of people in Nongnai City were also left behind by Chen Shangchuan.

And now that the Ming army has arrived, it is safe to let these people return to their hometowns.

Soon, more than 4,000 people in Nongnai City returned to their respective townships and counties at the urging of Li Du, and the officers and soldiers of the Pinghai Battalion, who were responsible for guarding the city, were also sent out one after another to escort the people back to their hometowns.

The number of people in Dongpu is much higher than that in Meidi and other places.

In Nongnai City alone, more than 4,000 displaced people were resettled, not to mention the people who fled to the mountains and forests and various Ming camps.

If so many people could not resume production in time, they would not be able to feed themselves by transporting grain and grass from Luzon from all over the world.

Therefore, Li Du could only choose to order the people to return to their hometowns before the rogues were exterminated, rather than wasting grain and grass in the city of Nongnai.

Luzon,

Laoag Shipyard

With the rumble of six guns.

A brand-new warship slowly sailed out of the shipyard.

"I didn't expect this ship to be built so quickly." Liu Yu looked at the brand-new warship in front of him with a happy face.

As early as after the Ming army took Laoag, Liu Yu wanted to imitate the Galen ship of the Spaniards.

Unfortunately, due to the small scale of the local shipyards in Vigan and Laoag, and the lack of experienced and skilled shipwrights in the Ming court, the imitation of the Spanish Galen ship had to be stopped.

For a long time, the Ming shipyard could only repair warships and build small and medium-sized ships such as large bird ships for the Ming army's naval divisions.

Even if the Laoag shipyard was expanded to bring in Western shipwrights, the Ming people could only refit the armed merchant ships of the red-haired ghosts, but could not build the Galen treasure ships similar to those of the Westerners.

And when the English opened a trading house in Luzon, things took a turn for the better.

Suffering from successive wars with the Mughal Empire, the East India Company dumped goods into Luzon one after another.

At the same time, he also borrowed 200,000 Yongli silver yuan from the Luzon Ming Court and the Four Seas Commercial Bank to use them as military expenses.

Taking this opportunity, Ming Ting naturally knocked the East India Company hard.

Sir Gore had no choice but to sell a queen's ship, which had been damaged by a storm and the keel of the dragon, to the Ming court in Luzon, and also leased it to twenty shipwrights and technicians in the Ming court.

Previously, the Luzon Ming army had acquired more than 20 Galen merchant ships and Caravel ships by seizing merchant ships from Spanish merchants for military purposes.

Due to the lack of warships, shipwrights in shipyards converted these merchant ships into armed merchant ships by installing artillery.

As a result, a group of shipwrights who were familiar with Western warships were also trained.

With the arrival of the English warship and twenty experienced shipwrights, Xu Ming took the opportunity to begin studying the Galen ship of the Ming court.

Eventually, thanks to the cooperation of the East India Company and the boatwrights of the Laoag shipyard, the new warships of the Ming army were launched.

This type of warship was a light Galen ship like the Queen's ship.

The hull was naturally smaller than the Spanish Navy's battleships, but the more streamlined narrow hull and three-masted hard sails gave it a higher speed.

On the double-deck guns, installed at the same time, it was possible to carry twenty guns, including four twelve-and-a-half-pounder guns.

As soon as such a new type of warship appeared, it crushed a number of armed merchant ships and large bird ships equipped by the Ming army's naval divisions.

These days, after Liu Yu's supervision, the Firearms Department worked overtime to produce a batch of new artillery for the Ming army.

A number of guns, including ten four- or six-pounder front-loading Franc cannons.

and two twelve-pounder Zhennan guns.

The guns will also be loaded onto the ship in the coming days.

"Congratulations, my lord, my Daming Sailor has bought a new ship." Su Langqing looked at the warship in front of him and congratulated Liu Yu.

"With this ship, we sailors don't have to worry about running out of boats." The general of Fubo Houzhen on the side laughed.

In fact, the Ming court sailors have always lacked the main warships.

Among the sailors, the number of Fu boats is too small, and they are all brought from Taiwan all the way, and they are basically used as the main ships.

The big bird ship built is a medium-sized warship, although it can be equipped with up to ten guns, but it is a four-pound front-loading Franc cannon, which cannot carry a twelve-and-a-half-pound cannon at all.

Today, as the main warships of the Ming army, they are still those armed merchant ships forcibly requisitioned from Spanish merchants.

This is also the reason why the Ming court has no plans to go north to Taiwan until now.

It is because there are no suitable main warships available.

But now, everything is different.

The Luzon Ming army finally had their own Galen ship.

"This kind of warship will eventually become the maritime vanguard elite of my Daming Naval Division, so you might as well call him the Tiger Ben Warship." Liu Yu said with a smile.

Han does not extinguish
