Chapter 253

Wu Shangzhi's news is relatively delayed and not accurate enough, the thousands of square kilometers of land around Ta'er Lake have been the entire 104th, 105th and 106th regiments that have come out again, these Zheng recruits found their wealth code, beheaded one level, and rewarded five taels of silver, or five acres of land.

The fighting power of the natives of Luzon is far inferior to that of Jiannu, nor is it as good as that of the Spanish or Dutch colonial army, so their reward is not so high.

Of course, only adult men or women are counted in the army of the Ning Navy, but there are no restrictions on young children. It can be regarded as Cheng Shijie's benevolence.

After killing all the natives, the land left behind will be distributed to these soldiers for free, and the captured materials and wealth will also become their welfare, so these recruits' eyes are already red.

In the eyes of the recruits, these natives are just walking silver. They serve as soldiers, eat food, train hard for a month, and can only get a salary of one or two or five dollars.

After the three regiments swept through, there was no one left of the natives around Taal Lake.

When Cheng Shijie and Wu Shangzhi arrived on the bank of the Taer Lake, they saw a village of about seven or eight hundred people, which had become ruins, and some wooden houses still had a little green smoke, and the air emitted the smell of barbecue that made people vomit, and several charred corpses could be vaguely seen in the ruins.

"These Zheng soldiers...... It's crazy, it's brutal! ”

Wu Shangzhi is also complaining to Cheng Shijie about the atrocities of the Zheng group soldiers.

Cheng Shijie pointed to Cheng Shi beside him and said, "Cheng Shi! ”

"Father!"

"These corpses, hurry up and dispose of them!"

Cheng Shijie said: "The corpse can't be parked for too long, check it, which unit is this doing, it's too rough, in the name of this commander, I ordered it!" ”

"Yes, Father!"

Cheng Shi went to investigate and quickly obtained the results.

"Back to my father, after investigation, this matter was done by Yue Chaoqun of the Fourth Company of the 101st Regiment!"

"Order, the commander of the fourth company of the 101st Regiment, Yue Chaoqun, is criticized, and inform the whole army that the cleaning of the battlefield is not thorough enough, once the corpse is not burned and buried deeply, it is easy to cause a plague, and the officers and men of the whole army must prevent this kind of thing from happening again!"

"It's my father!"

Cheng Shijie turned to look at Wu Shangzhi and said: "Commissioner Wu, you have also seen that now this has become a no-man's land, and it is very close to Taer Lake, causing a few ditches, so you don't have to worry about rain and waterlogging, this is all good land!" ”

Along the road from Manila to Batangas, it didn't take long to see a large number of indigenous captives working under the watchful eye of the overseers, starting to build roads, cut trees, or dredge ditches.

This made Cheng Shijie a little strange, a Zheng veteran, with a Hakka accent, introduced to Cheng Shijie: "There is no one in this area anymore!" ”

"Wait, what do you mean there's no one left?"

"There is no one, there is no one, they are all wiped out!"

The veteran also thought that Cheng Shijie was a noble man who wanted to buy land, so he introduced to Cheng Shijie: "Those monkeys are hiding in the mountains and forests and keep attacking us, it's too annoying, we destroyed all their strongholds, killed all those who dared to resist, and sold those who didn't dare to resist to Xiyi as slaves, so now there is basically no one in the northern mountains." ”

Speaking of these gruesome things, the veteran looked right, and he didn't feel the slightest guilt.

"Dashuai, they must be restrained, and continue like this!"

"There's no one here, let's set up a town!"

"Dashuai means ......"

Wu Shangzhi also lost his compassion for the heavens and people: "These places ...... Can you all sell? ”

As the so-called butt decides the head, Wu Shangzhi is not actually sympathetic to the natives, but because these natives are also human beings, there are people, and the Luzon Management Committee can receive more taxes. For example, more than 30,000 men and horses of the six regiments of the Zheng group were released and massacred, and I believe that these natives should know that Luzon has changed masters.

If they are smart, they will definitely pay taxes to the Luzon Executive Committee, with taxes, the Luzon Executive Committee can develop better, in Cheng Shijie's planning, Luzon to establish schools, all Chinese school-age children need to go to school, and it is free to go to school, and the Luzon Executive Committee is naturally responsible for the cost of running the school.

As a member of the Executive Committee, it is natural to stand in the position of the Executive Committee when considering issues.

"This is natural, ownerless land, all of them are Luzon's land, and they are all the land of Ben Shuai, except for the land that is enough to house Ning Haijun and Ning Haijun's family, other land can be sold!"

Cheng Shijie did not make detailed statistics on how much arable land there was in Luzon, but in later data, the arable land area of the Philippines was more than 100,0600 square kilometers, which is almost the same as China's arable land. Although China nominally has twice as much arable land as the Philippines, more than two-thirds of it is arid once a year and faces severe water scarcity.

However, more than 38 percent of the entire Philippines is arable land, and 85 percent of it is arable land of two or even three types a year.

But the actual utilization rate is higher than that of China, how can this make Cheng Shijie not salivate.

Wu Shangzhi asked, "Dashuai, how can this land be sold?" ”

"A tael of silver on a good good field!"

Cheng Shijie did not immigrate for free like the Ming Dynasty, because in the next settlement process, a large amount of military expenditure was required, and with the occupation of Luzon by the Ning Navy, the Chinese who could not get along in Nanyang would definitely prefer to settle down in Luzon, and these Chinese were all rich people.

Let them buy tens of thousands of acres of land with tens of thousands of taels of silver, and they will not have much burden.

Wu Shangzhi's action was very fast, and in the afternoon of the same day, the Civil Affairs Bureau of the Luzon Executive Committee began to measure the land, and only the northwest of Taer Lake, that is, the newly planned Luzon Yatai Town, was freshly released. Yatai Town is different from the towns of Daming, that is, it is horizontal and vertical, bounded by Batangas official road, 30 kilometers long from north to south, 20 kilometers wide from east to west, the total area of Yatai Town is 600 square kilometers, excluding hills, lakes and primeval forests, the actual cultivated land area is about 537,000 acres.

These lands were marked by the Civil Affairs Bureau of the Executive Committee as No. 1 to No. 100 in three days, ranging in size and area.

Wu Shangzhi and the Executive Committee began to bid in Luzon City, and he adopted the method of bidding in the form of blocks, and each piece of land was divided into thousands of mu or tens of thousands of mu, and the bid could be suppressed.

The first piece of land, which is more than 7,700 acres, was successfully bid by Yang Rui, a local Chinese in Luzon, and his bid price was 10,800 taels of silver, and he won the bid with the advantage of 800 taels of silver.

The second piece of land is more than 14,000 acres, which was obtained by Qin Wanli, a Chinese immigrant from Batavia, who bid for 25,000 taels of silver, almost double the price.

The third, fourth, fifth......

A total of 100 pieces of land were released for the first time, and the largest one was auctioned by Cheng Shijie's cheap brother-in-law Zhang Shi'an, who obtained 72,000 mu of land for 108,000 taels of silver.

537,000 mu of land, a total of more than 1,239,000 taels of silver, the average price per mu of land as high as 226 yuan of silver.

With the packaging and sale of Yatai Town, and Shanyang Town, which is adjacent to Yatai Town, it was resettled as Ninghai Haijun Tuntian Town, and about 6,000 Chinese who had no assets and could not afford to buy land were reorganized into 15 Tuntian and 100 households.

With the land planning, these tuntian hundred households also began to cultivate, and the first to enter the field were naturally the natives captured by the Ning Navy, these prisoners of war worked hard under the whip of the overseer, and contributed to the construction of Shanyang Town...... Please make up that scene by yourself.

There are too many prisoners of war, so they are worthless, and in the same way, the Chinese will naturally not be polite to those prisoners of war, unable to bear the heavy manual labor, and die of injuries and diseases, so they are buried and used to fertilize the fields.

As a result of the prisoners of war's work day and night, the development of Shanyang Town was faster than that of the first established town of Yatai, when the town had just formed a few plantations, Shanyang Town had already completed wooden pavilions, and at least 6,000 Chinese houses had been built. This kind of construction is not a one-step development, but a slow development.

After building wooden houses that were easy to build and solving the problem of temporary habitation, the prisoners of war began to collect stones and began to get busy building the town of Sanyo.

Shanyang Town is absolutely crazy in terms of labor prisoners of war, only more than half a month, there are more than 1,000 people who have been fertilized, planting three seasons of rice a year, four seasons of vegetables, but also cutting trees and mining, those who are not willing to work all slaughtered the fertile land, using the hard work of these prisoners of war, Shanyang Town has developed rapidly, within three years, it will become a famous supply of rice, cane sugar and timber in Luzon!

When Liu Qingsong had six newly formed regiments in his hands, the next battle was even smoother, in fact, it was no longer a battle, but evolved into a one-sided massacre.

With the cooperation of various units of the new army becoming more and more proficient, Liu Qingsong decisively divided the troops, taking each company as a unit, six regiments with a total of 72 combat companies, like a large net of rapid expansion.

"Damn, bad luck!"

Yue Chaoqun sighed a little, the combat effectiveness of these natives is too weak, although there are a lot of captures, but these natives are too poor, if it weren't for their love of gold, I'm afraid that what they seized would only be a bunch of rags.

What made Yue Chaoqun more troublesome was that because he was criticized by the whole army, he had to make great contributions. Otherwise, there will be no chance of promotion in a year.

The fourth company has been reduced to 19 people, of which three soldiers died of infection after being accidentally bitten by a locust, five died because they were bitten by poisonous snakes and poisoned, and nine people were killed by military law because they couldn't control their belts.

"Flutter Flutter Flutter ......"

Two recruits who couldn't control their belts were beheaded.

In front of the soldiers of the whole company, Yue Chaoqun pointed to the side of the road, the group of ragged and unkempt indigenous women and said: "It's such an ugly and smelly woman, how can you talk about it, it's really useless!" ”

Huang Liulang, who had been promoted to squad leader, asked cautiously: "Company commander, is this too harsh, and it is not easy for the brothers...... I don't mind taking them as concubines! ”

"You were kicked in the head by a donkey, killed the whole family, and dared to sleep with them, how big is your heart?"

Yue Chaoqun pointed at these prisoners of war and said, "Selling them to the Dutch, this matter is not negotiable!" ”

"Yes!"

Huang Liulang asked, "What are we going to ...... next?"

"Keep going!"

Yue Chaoqun said: "We have to cross the river, there is a big snake in the river, it is very dangerous, if you don't want to die, you should abide by discipline!" ”

Pythons and poisonous snakes, the same is a huge threat to the tropical rainforest, poisonous snakes rely on venom to hurt people, pythons are completely eaten alive, not to mention humans, larger wild animals can not escape the hunt of pythons, although this thing is huge, but there is no sound in moving in the rainforest, it is difficult to prevent.

Now Luzon poses the greatest threat to the Ning navy is not the natives, but these pythons or poisonous snakes. However, that soon changed.

"Judging from the equipment captured on the battlefield, these natives have significantly more muskets!"

Liu Qingsong took a Dutch-style musket and handed it to Cheng Shijie.

Cheng Shijie is not interested in this large-caliber smoothbore front-loading flintlock pistol, which is not the real development direction of the musket, in fact, the development of the current musket and artillery is still in a vague state, due to the high failure rate of the flowering shell, the production is high, and the solid shell is more economical in terms of economic benefits.

And European countries began to develop the tactic of lining up for shooting with flintlock pistols, that is, the thin red line tactic of the British Army sweeping the world, Cheng Shijie said: "Let Xie Jinglin give the Dutch a warning, if they don't stop this practice, then they will bear the consequences, and we have the right to wait for retaliation!" ”

The Dutch played a very simple routine, which was to use the sea route to send weapons and equipment to Luzon and arm the natives to confront the Ning navy.

But the problem is that the natives have very low combat effectiveness, brains are a good thing, but the natives have almost no brains, otherwise, they would not have been ruled by thousands of Spaniards for more than 300 years.

Cheng Shijie said: "Qingsong, let people inform the Chinese from all over Nanyang, and send their children to Luzon for training, anyway, a sheep is released, and a group of sheep is also released!" ”

"It's just, will it ......?"

Liu Qingsong said: "Nanyang Chinese are not of the same mind as us! ”

Liu Qingsong didn't want to practice the magic of wedding clothes.

"You have to believe in the system of our Ning Navy!"

Cheng Shijie smiled faintly: "What we do with the Chinese is business, whether it is equipment, military uniforms, boots, including daily necessities, they are not used for free, not to mention, we not only want to train their officers, but also adopt the current model in the future army!" ”

The so-called current model refers to the use of the Zheng Group's new army, at the regiment level, there are still officers of the Zheng Group, the squad and platoon level are selected from the troops for promotion, and the company and battalion level are served by veterans of the Ning Navy, even if Zheng Zhilong gives an order to these new troops, he will not be able to influence these new troops.

In the Luzon Recruit Training Camp of the Ning Navy, these obedience training is to require them to obey the instructions of the instructor 100 percent, and the regimental officers of the Zheng group do not have the ability to command the troops.

Even if the Chinese children learn from scratch, they may not immediately learn to command the modern army, and can only accept the command of the instructors of the Ning Navy.

"Got it!"

"The instructor wants to choose our elite veterans, and the political determination must be firm!"

Cheng Shijie believed that as long as the officers trained by the Ning Navy returned to Nanyang, the Dutch would not want to be at peace for another day.

With the smooth development of Luzon's training and clearance work, Cheng Shijie also returned from Luzon, accompanied by Zheng Zhilong's son Zheng Fusong, as well as Shi Daxuan's son Shi Lang, Zheng Cai's brother Zheng Lian, Zheng Zhihu's son Zheng Yi, Shi Daxuan's son Shi Tianfu, and Cheng Shijie's eight cheap brothers-in-law.

Cheng Shijie went all the way north, but when he arrived in Penghu, Cheng Shijie found that the Dutch still had five warships entrenched in Penghu.

Cheng Shijie directly gave Li Zhixiang an order to recover Penghu, this battle was the cooperation of Li Zhixiang and Chen Dayong, Cheng Shijie went directly to the capital because the trip was too close.

After arriving in the capital, Cheng Shijie met with Emperor Chongzhen.

Emperor Chongzhen invited Cheng Shijie's brother-in-law to a banquet, this was a private banquet without outsiders, but it made Cheng Shijie extremely depressed, because Zhu Weiyuan was still in a complete state and was discovered by Concubine Li Kang, Concubine Li Kangfei almost died of anger, scolded Chongzhen, and harmed Zhu Weiyuan.

Emperor Chongzhen did not directly tell Cheng Shijie about the same room or different rooms, however, the imperial sister-in-law of Queen Zhou, together with the imperial sister-in-law Zhang Yan, they did not shy away from it, and directly bombarded Cheng Shijie indiscriminately.

However, Cheng Shijie couldn't refute it, and after getting Cheng Shijie's promise to give birth to his son as soon as possible, Cheng Shijie fled back to Liaodong.

Arrived at the Ning Navy General Mansion, Cheng Shijie was immediately overwhelmed by the mountains of documents, fortunately, Cheng Shijie likes to be simple, the emperor is very easy to fool, a flowery article can fool him into the east, west, north and south, but Cheng Shijie is different, what he wants to see is not beautiful words, but detailed data!

These data are all sorted out by Lin Xuzong, and they are clear at a glance.

At this time, as of February 11, the eighth year of Chongzhen, the total population of Liaodong exceeded 8 million, totaling 8,297,400 people. Among them, there are more than 146,100 newborn babies, and according to this figure, Liaodong will usher in a new round of population explosion next.

After more than four years of hard work, Liaodong has developed a total of more than 74 million mu of fertile land, of which more than 49 million mu is military land and 25 million mu is private land.

Last year, wheat was planted in Liaodong with a total of 13 million mu of wheat, due to effective irrigation and sufficient fertilizer, the yield per mu reached a record 380 catties, if placed in the later generations, the yield per mu of 380 catties must be a poor harvest, but in this era, it was a bumper harvest, and this matter even shocked the imperial court.

In addition to sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, and other cash crops, such as vegetables, flax, cotton, and other cash crops, reached 9.6 million mu, close to one-tenth of the total cultivated area.

The average yield per mu is 200 catties of flax fiber. This achievement is too far behind modern agriculture, but this is in the Ming Dynasty, where there are no pesticides and even chemical fertilizers are pitiful.

Cheng Shijie just checked Liaodong's report and immediately returned to the afterlife. The real reason why Cheng Shijie hurriedly returned to the afterlife was because the condition of his daughter Cheng Jiayue in the later generations had recurred and she urgently needed treatment.

Cheng Jiayue's condition has improved, and the doctor's advice is that if you can not have surgery, try not to have surgery, because as long as the operation, there will be accidents.

After applying for a medical visa to a beautiful country through an intermediary, the plan to go abroad was shelved by Cheng Shijie without restrictions, but this time an accident happened.

Cheng Jiayue's Guangming Kindergarten was out of school, a foreign brand of electric car came to pick up the children, but when leaving, it lost control and crashed into the kindergarten, the car hit the pillar of the gate, and caught fire and exploded, the accident caused two children and two children's parents, including the owner himself, a total of four people died.

However, Cheng Jiayue was one of the witnesses at the time, and the tragic scene scene greatly stimulated Cheng Jiayue's heart.

This time, Cheng Shijie no longer has a headache about money, and the intermediary company not only arranged a translator, but also a guide for the sake of money, and took a direct plane to Los Angeles.

Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, is a non-profit-oriented, integrative specialty health sciences center located in California, USA. Cedarssanai is internationally recognized for its decades of excellence in medical innovation and research. From advanced diagnostic tests, research into new cancer treatment options, to heart transplants, brain surgeries, and innovative clinical trials.

There is no doubt that Cedar Sinai is the first in the United States, and the medical resources are much stronger than Concord, of course, there are many rich people in the world, and it is very difficult to make an appointment for Cedar Sinai.

At first, in order to save money, Xiang Hui did not apply for a passport, but found that Cheng Jiayue could not leave Xiang Hui, so she could only expedite it.

When Cheng Shijie took Cheng Jiayue and the guide Li Siwei from the airport to the booked hotel. After the car entered Santa Monica Boulevard, the time was more than 8 o'clock in the evening local time, which made Cheng Shijie feel that there were almost no people on the street, and there were no cars, as if it was late after 12 o'clock at night.

Just when Cheng Shijie, Xiang Hui and Cheng Jiayue were asleep in a daze, he felt the car stop.

"What's going on?"

Li Siwei and the driver communicated in English.

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Cheng, there was a car accident ahead!"

"Seriously?"

"It seems serious!"

About a kilometer or two, there was a faint glow of fire, and the smell of burning rubber was in the air. The car on the avenue had to be parked on the side of the road, after all, the flames of more than ten meters were quite scary.

I don't know how long later, a motorcycle slowly drove from behind, and a motorcycle rider wearing a helmet and unable to see the color of his skin gestured towards the car and lowered the window.

The driver obediently did.

"I'm grass!"

Cheng Shijie immediately reacted, this is the characteristic of the beautiful country, the motorcycle party robbery.

He hurriedly pressed Xiang Hui under the seat, bowed down, and covered Cheng Jiayue's ears with his hands: "Don't be afraid, Jiayue, Dad will protect you!" ”

While speaking, Li Siwei, who was sitting in the passenger seat, screamed loudly: "Sir, don't shoot, I'll give money... We give money! ”

Li Siwei seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and picked up stacks of scattered US bills, about more than a hundred dollars: "All of these are for you!" ”

The motorcyclist took the money and headed for the next car.

However, at this moment, the driver of the BMW in front of him should have been a violent temper, and actually took an automatic pistol to shoot at the motorcyclist, and in just a few minutes, more than a dozen bullets entered the motorcyclist's body.

PS: Thank you very much Feng Yu Wufei for her 1500 coins reward, congratulations to the beauty for becoming the second hall master of this book.
