Chapter 140 Accelerating Development

After wiping out the Gao Jiguo fleet that had blockaded the port, the ten giant ships bombarded the enemy positions on the shore, and then docked one by one on the dock. 3,000 fully armed Tian family soldiers stepped off the ship, divided into three teams, and operated Using muskets and running and shooting, it took only half a day to annihilate 10,000 enemies and capture 20,000 prisoners, thus relieving the siege of Weihai Port.

"Young Master, Zhiqing is so incompetent that you bothered the Young Master to personally rescue me?"

When Tian Zhiqing, the guard of the port fortress, saw Zhou Ming, he knelt down in front of him, with a dark and tired face, and shed a few tears of emotion.

"No need to kneel." Zhou Ming quickly helped him up and comforted him: "I came late and made you suffer. Go down and have a good rest. Everything in Hong Kong will be handled by me now."

"Thank you, Master!"

The defenders all breathed a sigh of relief, and some even leaned over and fainted after being completely relieved.

Three days later.

Another huge fleet came to Weihai Port, mostly merchant ships, with a total of seventy-five ships, loaded with a huge amount of various materials, and also brought thirty-six franchised families from Qingzhou (those who have joined in recent years) Several families), pieced together 20,000 strong men and 10,000 soldiers and horses.

The purpose of these 20,000 men is to expand the port. It is planned to expand the size of Weihai Port tenfold within three to four years and build several deep-water docks so that it can berth large ships of more than 10,000 pieces.

The purpose of the ten thousand soldiers and horses is of course not to strengthen defense and protect the port. There is simply no need for so many people. The main function of these soldiers and horses, which are fully equipped with breastplates, steel crossbows, and a small number of blunderbuss, is to cooperate with the Tian family. The firearms force completely occupied Qizhou Island, which covers an area of ​​100,000 square kilometers, and then appointed civilian officials to govern and help suppress the dissatisfied forces on the island.

Zhou Ming had completely lost his patience with Gao Jiguo. This country was just like a country that just wanted to be beaten and beaten!

The collectively neurotic upper echelons of this kingdom could not tolerate a port that only covered an area of ​​more than 500 acres. They attacked desperately and claimed tens of thousands of lives one after another. However, they still did not realize it and wanted to increase their stakes.

Therefore, Zhou Ming, who originally just wanted to borrow a piece of land to build a transit port, completely changed his focus this time. He planned to take Qizhou Island first and completely control this island with a huge area, mild climate and a large amount of grassland and cultivated land, and then use The entire large island serves as a transfer station, using the island's population, land, and minerals as assistance to facilitate the collection of materials and speed up the colonization of Penglai Island.

If Gao Jiguo still refuses to accept, he will send a large army to conquer. It just so happens that Zhou Ming is seriously short of slaves and slaves. He will take as many as he can and capture as many as possible and send them to the mining manor to crush them into powder.

In the later period, if there is still a serious lack of population, Zhou Ming is even ready to take the initiative, send troops to Gaoji State to raid and plunder, capture some people, and send them to Penglai Island to contribute to overseas colonization.

If the population of Gaoji Country is not enough, the neighboring Bailuo Country, Hanhai Country and the savage tribes in the north... will also be Zhou Ming's targets. At that time, a large number of slave-catching teams will be dispatched. If there are many people, go there.

These foreign captives, or the alien population, were the cheapest consumables in the colonial system designed by Zhou Ming. They were assigned to the "slave labor class" by him and basically did not enjoy any human rights.

The civilians, craftsmen, and soldiers recruited from the mainland of the Great Zhou Dynasty were the second echelon of "free people". In the colonial system, they had a higher status, their property, personal safety, and survival rights were guaranteed, and they also had generous income. The remuneration package ensures that you have no worries about food and clothing.

These "free people" will become the foundation of Penglai Immortal Island in the future. They are the foundation of prosperity and are of vital importance.

The Haipingda family, and the other thirty-six franchised families, are the "aristocratic class" in the Penglai Immortal Island colonization system. These families provide troops and funds, mobilize materials and manpower, and participate in the operation and management of the colonized island, eventually becoming The "ruling classes" of each island are certainly understandable.

Therefore, these three population strata each have their own missions and perform their own duties. Each stratum is relatively solid and there is little mobility in the middle. All kinds of problems will definitely arise over a long period of time.

However, in the early stages of entrepreneurship, this kind of stable class system has more advantages than disadvantages, and is conducive to improving the efficiency of colonization...

Therefore, after taking Qizhou Island, in the next four years, Zhou Ming personally participated in the "overseas colonization plan", which greatly accelerated the colonization speed and doubled the efficiency.

In the past four years, the number of islands colonized by immigrants in Penglai Island has increased from 5 to 23, with a total area of ​​more than 300,000 square kilometers. The total number of immigrants from all walks of life has exceeded 1 million, except for some production Tools need to be transported by ship, and most of them can ensure self-sufficiency.

In the past four years, the Tian family's expedition fleet has explored and marked more than 3,000 islands in the Penglai Immortal Territory. Among them, four to five hundred islands are rich in resources, have great colonization value, and are worthy of vigorous development.

Because some of these high-value islands have rich reserves of gold and silver mines; some have massive copper ores, or extremely high-grade iron ore, manganese ore, lead ore, etc.

There are also dozens of volcanic islands with rich soil fertilizers and volcanic islands with large amounts of sulfur resources.

Zhou Ming himself took all the islands with the highest strategic value into his own hands and sent people to garrison them in advance. They regarded them as forbidden lands and would never allow others to get involved!

Because, among these islands, there is a "Gold Island" with gold reserves of 5,000 tons, a "Silver Island" with silver reserves of more than 100,000 tons, a "Saltpeter Island" with saltpeter resources of over 100 million tons, and a "Saltpeter Island" in Penglaixian. On the southern edge of the domain, with an area of ​​about 500 square kilometers, there is no grass growing on it, and it is covered with "dung stone islands" with a thickness of tens of meters of bird droppings.

There is also a savage country with an area of ​​nearly 150,000 square kilometers. There is a group of savages living on the island, which may have more than three to four million people. Zhou Ming named this savage country: Beigou Country.

The savages in Beigou Country are naturally called Beigou people by Zhou Ming.

The humble dog people are thin and short, with an average height of 1.45 meters. Their production and life are primitive and backward. The upper class are cruel and tyrannical, while the lower classes are timid and cowardly. A thousand-member humble dog tribe, as long as you can defeat the strongest person in the tribe , the other 999 people, including the defeated strong man, will obey orders and submit to the new strongest man, and will never dare to resist.

Therefore, this "Wonu Island" with a humble dog country on it has also become a taboo in Zhou Ming's eyes, and no one can get involved.

"The humble dog people's character of fearing and obeying the strong is very suitable for industrialization. As long as they are fed, they will be the best ones who will never resist, never be lazy and complain, and will just immerse themselves in work. Slave workers... this population resource is simply rarer than gold! We must make reasonable use of all these humble people to fill countless manors and mines."

In addition, during the past four years, with the large-scale production of mature and easy-to-use [Steam Type III] and [Steam Type IV] steam engines, especially as the number of motor and sailboats equipped with steam power increased, the time for transporting supplies has increased. Compared with the sailing ships that could only be transported once every two or three months, it has been reduced by more than half.

In addition, Qizhou Island, a transit island that can also provide a large amount of material supplies, shortens the voyage by half... How could the efficiency of overseas colonization not be doubled?

In the end, what still limited the speed of colonization was the slave population and the number of immigrants from the Great Zhou Dynasty.

September of the thirty-second year of Tiansheng.

In the state of Gaoji, the royal capital opened its capital.

"boom!"

With a loud noise, the gate of Kaijing City was blown open by artillery. Thirty thousand troops from outside the city rushed in. With excitement on their faces, they roared and rushed into this prosperous royal city with a population of one hundred thousand. They killed any resistance and found treasures. Just take it, and fuck when you see a beautiful woman...Of course, only women who are beautiful to a certain extent are eligible to be fucked.

After all, this is a civilized army with strict disciplines. The military discipline of this army stipulates that no more than two women must be raped and molested. They must marry them afterwards. If they violate it, they will be severely punished!

After the city was broken, the Qingwatai Palace was in chaos. King Gaoji ordered his people to pack up gold and silver items and prepare to escape. As soon as he escaped to the palace gate, he was blocked by the oncoming "colonial army" and had to take off his royal robes. Robe, played hide-and-seek in the palace, but was finally pulled out and brought to Zhou Ming.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me! I have millions of treasures, and I have countless beauties. I am willing to give them to all the heroes. As long as the heroes withdraw their troops from the country of me, I will agree to any conditions!"

King Gao Ji trembled and begged for mercy desperately. After speaking, there were wet marks on the legs of his trousers, and there was a smell of fishiness. He was so frightened that he peed on his trousers.

"Send him to Ryukyu Island as a slave laborer. This king is physically strong, and it shouldn't be a problem to contribute more than ten years to the cause of colonization."

Zhou Ming told the deputy on the side that he was too lazy to pay attention to this King of Gaoji, because in the past four years, this King of Gaoji had sent troops to attack Qizhou Island twice, killing two waves of people, but was reversed and was dismissed. After looting hundreds of thousands of people twice, he still didn't give up, and even sent diplomatic envoys to the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty crying for help.

Fortunately, these diplomatic envoys were all intercepted and killed in Qingzhou, otherwise, Zhou Ming would have been in trouble.

This also angered Zhou Ming. He immediately led his troops into Kaijing City. Not only did he want to plunder the entire population and property of this royal city, but he also wanted to deal with King Gaoji and demote him to a slave labor for the development!

After dealing with King Gaoji, the colonial army continued to search the palace.

"Young master, the brothers have found two beauties and want to dedicate them to the young master."

"No, you can enjoy it yourself."

"Master, these two beauties are so beautiful that brothers dare not enjoy them, so I dedicate them to the young master."

"Oh, bring it over and show it to me."

After a while, when he saw the two beauties standing in front of him, frightened like sheep, Zhou Ming, who was not particularly interested in Gaoji women at first, felt moved and accepted them.

They were indeed so beautiful. One looked like Jung Soo-jung, and the other looked like Jun Ji-hyun. They were both natural, unplasticized versions, with outstanding temperament and sweet voices. Zhou Ming felt a little uncontrollable, let alone those ordinary soldiers... ...Of course, those soldiers also know how to measure themselves. A beauty of this level is definitely not something they can get their hands on.

The next day, I hit three strokes,

Zhou Ming, who had been fighting fiercely all night, got up from the bed where King Gao Ji originally slept, pushed aside the pink arms and legs that were draped over his body, and saw two sleeping beauties again, with tears on their faces and contented expressions. As soon as his lower body became hard, he raised his gun and stabbed her, causing the big bed to shake for another hour.

"Girl from Gao Ji, she is really powerful. At home, I can fight five wives and concubines at once. These two beauties are too much for my body. I am only twenty-seven, and my kidneys should be okay..."

After finally getting up and rubbing his extremely sore waist, Zhou Ming decided that starting from today, he must strengthen his health regimen.
