The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 510 The rumor is wrong
Also in July of the ninth year of Chongzhen, Ding Yi was about to leave the senior officials.

Before leaving, Ding Yi said a few key points.

One is to continue the policy of stabilizing the people, expand the population and land area here, and continue to vigorously build at the same time. In the early stage, more forts and castles were built for defense, and in the later stage, they were connected by city walls to form towns.

By this time next year, Ding Yi's request for him is that, not counting the soldiers, he will strive for a population of 10, at least 7, which is equal to a year or something, double the population, and increase Xintian by at least two. 16 mu, with a total of more than [-] mu of fields.

It may be difficult in normal times, but now merchants from all over the world come to buy sugar, Ding Yi does not accept cash, only accepts people and supplies, and Zhao Dashanshui himself can immigrate, and recently the peasant army in the Ming Dynasty has become more and more The more chaotic, this year's goal should be no problem.

The second is to cooperate with the original resident fighters and the Ming army to search for new maps around, find out the mineral resources, and the footholds of various tribes. Within one year, strive to draw all the topographic maps of the entire Tainan area, and all The location of each tribe must be found out.

And some places can be marked. When the resources and population increase in the future, roads will be built so that Ding Yi's soldiers and horses can smoothly reach certain strategic points.

Because in the past, Zheng Zhilong immigrated to the west and north areas of Dayuan, and the northwest of Dayuan was counted as his sphere of influence. Ding Yi wanted to quickly occupy Tainan and southwest and build a stronghold.

The third is to integrate immigrants, original residents and people from Lushun, treat original residents and local immigrants kindly, promote intermarriage, strengthen the learning of Chinese characters, and let children of all ethnic groups learn Chinese characters.

The fourth is to build shipyards, gun factories, and gun factories. There are some in Lushun, and there must be ones here. In the past six months, Ding Yi has dispatched a wave of craftsmen from Lushun, but in the future, he will mainly recruit from Fuzhou, Guangdong, Zhejiang, and train by himself. As a supplement, there are not enough craftsmen in Lushun.

Fortunately, there is a school in Lushun, and many craftsman apprentices are also producing continuously, so they can come here to support.

Zhao Dashan took his notes very seriously, and he also knew that this was one of the most important bases of Mr. Ding. Even in Ding Yi's heart, this place might be more important than Lushun.

Ding Yi also asked him to pay attention to agricultural and industrial talents here, but industry and Zhao Dashan didn't make any sense, probably all kinds of craftsmen with strange skills and silver tricks, especially foreign craftsmen, let him offer rewards, among foreigners and Ming people Look for people who are good at oil, and those who know how to separate and refine.

As for the various seeds brought by foreign businessmen, they must be accepted, studied, and then planted and cultivated.

Dayuan is closer to the west than Lushun. There are countless foreign businessmen here. Ding Yi’s fleet can carry silk here in the future, waiting for foreigners to exchange other things and silver. As for sugar, Ding Yi sells it himself. To Japan, basically do not sell, only exchange things.

In the end, he asked Director Duan Gaolin that after one year, the monthly production of sugar here should reach more than 20 jin. Duan Gaolin looked at the countless people and laborers around him, and quickly said, no problem.

Ding Yi can't cover everything, he told Zhao Dashan everything he could think of, and he can only make up later if he didn't expect it.

At the beginning of July, Ding Yi took three boats, left Dayuan, and returned to Lushun. The way was the same as before, and he had to land at every place he passed, looking for craftsmen and scholars.

I didn't return to Lushun until the beginning of August.

I didn't know until I arrived in Lushun that the Hou Jin army had already carried out the third entry campaign as early as June, and the central government sent people to Lushun to urge troops and horses.

At the same time, after Jin Jianguo became the Qing Dynasty, the army was divided into two groups in June.

All the way into the customs to rob the Ming Dynasty, all the way to defeat North Korea, captured Yizhou, and began to hoard troops and dig pits to station in Yizhou.

At this time, the Ming court and North Korea sent emergency notices one after another.

At that time, Ding Yi was not there, and the generals could only wait for the first time. Because the imperial court had not distributed payment and food for many years, they first asked the imperial court for payment and food.

But Zhang Jing, Shen Shikui, Ruan Wenlong and others discussed and felt that Yizhou could not be occupied by Qing soldiers.

Qing soldiers occupying Yizhou is the same as when Ding Yi built Beigou. Later, when Qing soldiers came from Yizhou to fight Pidao Tieshan, it became very easy. In recent years, Ding Yi has stocked up on the front line of Pidao Tieshan. Tens of thousands of acres of fields.

Once the Qing soldiers capture Uiju in North Korea, Phi Island will be very passive.

Unexpectedly, Huang Taiji also learned this trick from Ding Yi. When Ding Yi built a city in Beigou, he was disgusted by the Qing Dynasty, so Huang Taiji seized Yizhou and threatened Pidao.

Because of Ding Yi's absence, the generals could not send troops without authorization, they all practiced diligently and prepared their equipment.

Fortunately, Ding Yi finally came back in early August.

The Ming court did not let Ding Yi enter Weijing City, but ordered Ding Yi to send troops from Lushun to attack Gaizhou.

Zhang Jing asked for salary and food, and delayed it for a month or two.

When Ding Yi came back, Chongzhen was furious and sent someone to send 1 stones, rice, and [-] taels of silver.

When the sender arrived in Dengzhou, he found that the sea in Dengzhou was full of ships, and there were a large number of ships going to Lushun and Phi Island every day. The ships were full of people and food (he could not see food, only people.)
Liu Lixiu, a Beijing official, was in charge of escorting him. He stood on the bow and asked Zhao Kejiao, admiral of the Denglai Navy, "Whose do all these boats come and go on the sea?"

Zhao Kejiao thought to himself, half of them belong to our navy, and their navy collects money to help Ding Yi transport people and food. Zhao Kejiao alone has 500 taels of silver in the account every month, and the income is full every year. He is very happy .

Zhao Kejiao thought for a while, and said in a painful voice: "There is a famine in the country, and the victims are everywhere. Some local gentry spontaneously organized relief for the victims,"

"After the disaster victims from various provinces arrived, some of them were resettled in Dengzhou, but the local government didn't have much money and energy, so they sent them to Lushun. Ding Yi refused to accept them. I would like to take this opportunity, Lord Liu, to persuade Ding Yi, as the court, contribute to the disaster victims."

Liu Lixiu was furious: "They are all citizens of Ming Dynasty, how can Ding Yi be so ruthless, helping the disaster victims, a great act of kindness, I should say him well."

Zhao Kejiao said embarrassingly: "I heard that the imperial court has cut off Dongjiang's food and payment for several years, and Ding Yi is probably suffering from hunger and cold."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Kejiao regretted it. Lushun has an elite army and horses, and the people are happy. He once transported the victims there, and he was shocked when he saw it.

If Liu Lixiu could see this, it didn't look like he was suffering from hunger and cold, wouldn't he be out of state?I feel a little regretful.

Zhang Jing and the others on the opposite side of Dengzhou did not send troops until August. At this time, Chongzhen sent people to deliver food and pay.

Ding Yi was lucky, and returned to Lushun three days earlier than Liu Lixiu.

Then I got news that Chongzhen was going to send someone to come.

Ding Yi laughed, and quickly said: "Quick, don't make arrangements for the victims of these two days, and arrange them directly on the edge of Shuangdao."

"All soldiers, find out the most ragged clothes at home. Whoever dares to wear good clothes will be served by the military law."

"Well, pick out the thinnest sergeant, he must be thin, don't eat fat for nothing."

Ding Yi ordered to follow one by one, Zhang Jing, Ruan Wenlong and the others were dumbfounded. If Ding Yi didn't come back, they didn't expect to do so.

On August 8, Liu Lixiu was escorted by the Denglai Navy to Shuangdao. He wanted to land in Lushun, but Zhao Kejiao said that Ding Yi was in Shuangdao, and there were more victims in Lushun, which was smelly and dirty.

Liu Lixiu felt reasonable. Although he sympathized with the victims, they were really smelly and dirty, so it was better not to touch them.

But as soon as he arrived at Shuangdao, Liu Lixiu frowned. He saw that the shore was full of disaster victims, all of them with ragged clothes, withered faces, and a stench all over their bodies.

The crowd was very chaotic, only a few Dongjiang soldiers were maintaining order, there were shouts of curses and children crying from time to time.

Someone is crying, take us in, we can't live anymore.

Dongjiang soldiers yelled, we can't support ourselves if we go back and forth there.

"Ding Yi, how could this be so, these are the people of Ming Dynasty." Liu Lixiu was about to shed tears, then covered her nose and took a few steps back.

"The life of Dongjiang soldiers is not easy." Zhao Kejiao sighed.

Liu Lixiu stared, and sure enough, he saw that the clothes on Dong Jiang's body were not much better than those of the disaster victims, they were all tattered, not even armor.

All of them were thin and short, the thinnest and shortest soldiers in Lushun, all of them were picked here to perform as extras in the past two days.

It is said that Lushun Ding Yi is good at doing business, with developed sea trade, rich and food. It seems that the rumors are nothing more than that. Liu Lixiu looked at it for a while, and felt that the place was dilapidated, and the Dongjiang soldiers were emaciated, except for the two bastions in the distance. Powerful, others are really hard to catch the eye.

Not long after, Ding Yi came.
