Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 634 Preparations for Cochin Chief Secretary

At the end of the same year, driven by the wind blowing from the mainland to the sea, a fleet of ships bypassed the Leizhou Peninsula, entered the Red River along the coastline, and arrived at Thang Long City.

Flying the flag of the Kyushu Army, this group of fleets sailed unimpeded in the northern part of Nanyang.The northern part of Nanyang has become the territory of the Nanyang Fleet, and no pirates dare to make trouble here.

At the pier of Shenglong City, this group of fleets docked, and groups of civilians got off the boats, looking at this land that was not yet unfamiliar to them.Soon, they will live on this piece of land, where they will plant farmland and reproduce.

"Master, can we really get the land here?" A commoner who came from Leizhou Peninsula with his family asked the soldiers of the Kyushu Army who were on board to protect them.

"This is what our general has said many times. There is no doubt about it. Every household who comes to Annan to settle down can get land and cattle. If you add a few more newcomers to your family, you can also reduce taxes and get silver subsidies every year. ’ said the soldier.

"It's unbelievable that there are such good things in the world. The Kyushu Army is really kind to us ordinary people." Not only the people who asked the question, but also other people who were also immigrated by the Kyushu Army to enrich the population of Annan Country The army is grateful to Dade.In the culture of small peasants, the most important thing for these ordinary people is the land and future generations, and the Kyushu Army promised to do whatever they want in Annan, and even the Kyushu Army wanted them to turn Annan into a real colony.

"This is the first batch of immigrants organized by the military. The number is about [-] households. In the future, more immigrants will be sent by means of merchant ships. It is estimated that within a few years, tens of thousands of immigrants will come here." On an official ship At that time, a large number of officials disembarked and were still discussing government affairs.

They are the officials sent by the Kyushu Army to manage An Nanguo, and they are about to establish the Chief Secretary of Jiaozhi, and bring Annan Kingdom into the management scope of the Chief Secretary of Cochin.

"With a population of [-] households, if they intermarry with the local Yue and Tu people and spread Chinese culture, in time, this place will completely become a province that is no different from our Central Plains." An official surrounded by many officials said.

"Master Xiong, this An Nan country originally regarded itself as a small China. It broke away from the Southern Han Dynasty during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. Otherwise, it would still be our territory, so it has a high degree of acceptance of our culture. It is also in consideration of this that the military leader decided to It will be used as the core of the Chief Secretary of Cochin, rather than Taungoo, Siam, Lancang and other countries." An official said.

"It is not easy to manage a population of 300 million in Annan Kingdom. This size of population is similar to that of the Chief Secretary of Yunnan. It must not be like the Chief Secretary of Jiaozhi set up by the Ming Dynasty 200 years ago. It only took 20 years It was overthrown. I hope you will work together."

"Yes."

This time, Xiong Wencan, who was in charge of Guangdong and Guangxi affairs, came to serve as the chief envoy and governor of Cochin Chief Secretary.With the end of the Annanguo War, the Guangdong and Guangxi regions did not have to bear the heavy pressure of supporting the Independent Corps, but instead transported by sea, the pressure was relatively light.Moreover, the Independent Corps was obtaining food supplies on the spot in Annan Country, and what was lacking was only ammunition.

Later, Xiong Wencan was sent to Annan Kingdom to organize the establishment of the very important Jiaozhi Chief Secretary, and also to coordinate immigration matters, and transfer some people who suffered from drought and floods in the Central Plains to Annan Kingdom to achieve assimilation.

They brought the migrants into Thang Long City, and they could see soldiers of the Kyushu Army patrolling the streets, as well as residents of Thang Long City who looked at them with wide-eyed amazement.They also heard that the Central Plains people's yamen will be established soon, replacing the temporary yamen here, and will manage this place permanently.

Xiong Wencan led the officials of the Chief Secretary of Cochin to find Changyi in the yamen of Shenglong City. At this time, Changyi was suppressing Shenglong City with force, and personally sat in the yamen to supervise a group of officials selected by the Zheng family to handle the affairs of the city.

"Lord Xiong, you're finally here. I'm so worried these days. I'm a warrior, and I'm good at leading troops in battle, but this government affairs are in a mess." Changyi heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Xiong Wencan come.If it hadn't been for the capture of Thang Long City, and the officials of the Chief Secretary of Cochin had not been appointed, Changyi would not have personally copied the sword into battle.

"I think General Changyi's policy of iron and blood is okay. Although many soldiers are patrolling in Thang Long City, there is no disturbance on the whole, and everything is running as usual." Xiong Wencan smiled slightly.

"It's just that there is no disturbance in the city. The remnants of the Zheng family and Ruan family in many places in Annan Kingdom, as well as some villages that are dissatisfied with us, have rebelled one after another and occupied the dense forest on the hilltop. The rebel forces in the mountainous area are the strongest." Chang Yi sighed.

"It seems that the situation is more serious than we imagined." Xiong Wencan and the officials of the Cochin Chief Secretary who came to look at each other, their expressions became serious.

"Bitters and bandits will be rampant every time the dynasty changes. Some people in Annan Kingdom are still lucky. It is not surprising that they raised troops to resist. The current situation is still under our control. We have successively defeated seven rebels, captured more than 2000 people, and dismissed [-] people. "Chang Yi said, "Extreme times must be controlled by extraordinary means. These captives will be divided into ten years of hard labor, and will be used as labor for the ordnance factory, mining field, and farm that our Kyushu Army will build here. My lord arranges for people to register their names, "

"This is not a problem. It was originally our Cochin Chief Secretary's job. Yes, Annan now has the Independent Corps led by you, General Changyi, the Sixth Corps led by General Cao Bianjiao, and the Nanyang Fleet. Next, the military will treat you. What arrangement?" Xiong Wencan asked.

"Our mission is far from over. An Nanguo is not our defense area, and a group of young and strong people will be selected from the local people here as a security force, which is also a force that can be commanded by the Chief Secretary of Cochin. And our standing corps will Temporarily replenish troops in Annan State to suppress the rebels, and when the situation in Annan State stabilizes, follow the command of the military headquarters to attack Champa, Chenla and other countries to expand the territory of the Chief Secretary of Cochin." Changyi said.

"Well, according to the plan of the military department, the area under the jurisdiction of the Chief Secretary of Cochin is the existing territory of Annan, Champa, Chenla, Siam, Toungoo and other countries. Its scale is unprecedented. In the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, the Mongols It is unbelievable that things that have not been achieved by joining hands with the Han people are expected to be realized hundreds of years later." Xiong Wencan said with emotion.

"Thanks to our smooth sea route, we can continuously transport the population and ammunition, otherwise we may not be able to consume the Zheng family and the Ruan family here." Chang Yi said.
