This kind of ban is just a dead letter, and people from Fujian and Guangdong provinces frantically went to Taiwan.However, it is difficult to cultivate overseas, and the family members really cannot take them there. Often there are several villages where there is not a single woman, and they are all young and vigorous young men.

They are all young and strong, they have no family members, and they are surrounded by fellow villagers. Guess what will happen?

In Taiwan in another time and space, uprisings continued during the Qing Dynasty.And it's very nonsense, it all went very smoothly at the beginning, and the Manchu Qing garrison was beaten to the ground, and then the rebel army split internally.Zhangzhou people, Quanzhou people, Cantonese people, and Hakka people fought each other, and were finally divided and suppressed by the army sent by the Manchu Qing.

The name Chiayi County is the result of fights between immigrants.Inside the Tiandihui, due to the enmity of the native place, the local people sided with the imperial court, and were finally rewarded by the imperial court and renamed "Chiayi".

What kind of landlord, what kind of government, in front of the immigrant young and strong without the fetters of wives and children, they are all scumbags!

However, officials sent to Taiwan by the Qing Dynasty often failed to change their minds.No matter how the officials try to persuade them, the officials will follow the mainland's way of extorting and extorting in Taiwan.As soon as exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes are collected, they will explode, and if they are too harsh, they will directly kill officials and rebel!The shortest period is a riot every few years, and the longest period is a major uprising in the past 30 to [-] years.

Today's Datong New Dynasty, overseas development has that flavor.

There are also more men than women and less women, and they also hold together in the same village.Even big landlords have to be polite to them, and young people who have nowhere to vent their energy are prone to trouble.

In the past two years, more and more young people have gone overseas to pioneer, and the overseas governors are both happy and headache.The key is to find wives for them. As long as they have wives and children, these young adults can be stable.So the governors applied to the imperial court to withhold part of the tax money and buy young women from the local chieftains.

Those natives also fight among themselves, and now they are fighting more fiercely, robbing women and selling them to the Han governor.

Especially on the island of Java, several sultans existed at the same time.He has already played a dog's brain, and once who wins, he will immediately send troops to plunder. In addition to robbing goods, he will also rob women. Transporting women to Coconut City can be exchanged for wealth.

Chapter 933 [Colonization is bloody]

Whether it is Batavia or Jakarta, it has become a thing of the past, and it is now the Governor-General of Coconut City in China.

The land around Yecheng was originally in the hands of Han landlords.After the imperial court ruled Yecheng, the governor encouraged the people to open up. The original tenants continued to farm while opening up the surrounding land.

In a few years, tens of miles of land was expanded, and all the land ceded to Yecheng from Wandan Kingdom was finished.The local Javanese natives either went to the city to work or worked for the landlord, otherwise they could only be expelled.

The governor said that he would slowly civilize the aborigines, but the Han peasants didn't care about that many, and they even armed themselves to fight.

They will unite and fight whoever refuses to let them reclaim the land!

On New Year's Day in the 17th year of the Republic of China, Lu Baohua and his fellow villagers spent the rainy season.

Lu Baohua was a farmer in the mountainous area of ​​Guangdong. When the Datong New Dynasty was established, his parents gave birth to eight sons and one daughter in succession, and only two sons died in infancy.How can the land allocated by the government be enough?Not to mention the mountains.

He successfully graduated from elementary school and finished middle school, but he only got a school certificate.

Lu Baohua could only go to work in the city and worked as an apprentice for several years. He really didn't like it, so he asked his classmates to go to Guangzhou to make a living.One day, he met Yecheng who was returning to his hometown to worship his ancestors. He heard that the surrounding area of ​​Yecheng was full of land, and as long as he went there, he could reclaim it. The premise was that he could withstand the aboriginal attack.

At least, you have to carry it yourself until the governor sends troops to rescue him!

After thinking about it, Lu Baohua went back to the mountains and summoned the young and strong to go out to farm.A few people were recruited in this village, and then went to the next village, village by village, and finally recruited hundreds of people to go to sea.

They are all poor people in the mountains, and each family is scraping together, except for the boat money, there are still a few liang of funds left.

They took farm tools, seeds and dry food and set off from Guangzhou Port by boat.After reporting to the Yecheng Governor's Mansion, Datong Bank loaned them 20 taels of silver, and then they were taken to a forest dozens of miles away by officials.

In the first year, the trees were cut down to plant sugarcane, and the seeds brought in were useless.

Because I heard from the local people that in the first two years of planting grain, the harvest was not high, but sugarcane could be sold at a good price.Sugarcane seeds are bought from local Han people, and the felled wood can be sold to merchants.

Sure enough, the sugarcane harvest was bumper, and they couldn't wait to plant it for another two or three years. In the second year, they used half of the land to plant upland rice.

The yield of upland rice is low, but the taste is good and the price is high.

The main reason is the lack of irrigation canals.So in the second year, they dug aqueducts and bought water from local farmers to irrigate the fields. The water fee was calculated according to the irrigation time.

In the third year, Lu Baohua presided over the division of fields and divided the cultivated land cultivated collectively.

This year, Lu Baohua asked his younger brother to go home by boat, bringing back letters and silver to the young and strong, and hoped to attract more fellow villagers to cultivate.They said in their letters home that the land in Yecheng is extremely fertile, rice can be harvested twice a year, and they don't need too much fertilizer.The agricultural tax here is lower than that of my hometown, and the first five years of reclamation can be tax-free.After reporting to the governor, you can get a loan for land reclamation.

When Sili Baxiang heard the news, half the county was shocked, and more than 300 young and strong people went to sea collectively.

In fact, overseas pioneering is very difficult, exposed to the sun and rain, and the water and soil are not acclimatized.Although the yields of sugar cane and rice are high, the prices are often lowered by merchants. Although there is no need to worry about food and clothing throughout the year, there is no money left at all.The money I brought back to my hometown was saved by tightening my belt.

There were two groups of young and strong, with nearly [-] people. The governor allowed them to build a village, and Lu Baohua was elected as the village head.

Among the young and strong, there are more than a dozen peasant soldiers.

The Datong court reduced the number of peasants and soldiers many times, and there was a regulation that each peasant and soldier had to "retire" and recruit new recruits after only three years of spare time training.To put it bluntly, it is a reserve service that does not receive military pay, but during the period of serving as a farmer and soldier, each person can be exempted from land tax of two acres.

Only those who have land at home are eligible to be peasants and soldiers, and urban residents are not eligible.

Lu Baohua's village is called "Tangmi Village", the name comes from the crops they grow.A peasant soldier named Ge Shun was appointed as the captain of the peasant soldier because he had finished elementary school. All the young and strong were incorporated into the team, and they took turns to practice in the slack season.

The governor does not encourage, prohibit, or manage this kind of peasant and soldier team. Anyway, it develops in a free-range manner, and the main combat target is the surrounding aborigines.

"Brother, the goods have been bought!"

Lu Baoliang brought people back from Yecheng, and he was going to buy arms this time.The governor only banned firearms and everything else, so someone started making bows and crossbows for sale.

Lu Baohua opened the box and took a look, he was overjoyed and said, "Good product!"

Thirty sets of crossbows, which are very popular in the countryside of Yecheng, are a sharp weapon against Javanese natives.Lu Baohua asked the villagers to raise funds to buy these, and even used up the pioneering loans.

Whenever the grain harvest season comes, it means that war is coming.

In the beginning, the natives robbed the Han people, and the Han people were forced to fight back.Gradually, every village of the Han people organized and trained troops, and began to take the initiative to attack the aborigines.

During Lu Baohua's first year here, he was looted by dozens of natives.They could only run away and find the nearby Han people to rescue them, and now they have the ability to take the initiative to kill them.

The rainy season is over, that is, January and February, which coincides with the rice harvesting season.

There are special people standing guard on the outskirts of the village, and the villagers will help them harvest the rice in the sentinel's home.

"Dang Dang Dang Dang!"

While working in the golden rice fields, there was a sudden sound of gongs, followed by warning smoke, and those Javanese natives really came to kill them.

The Han people are very annoyed by this, and feel that the local aborigines are too disgusting. They do not cultivate the land well, but they come to rob the Han people of food.

Those aborigines occupy the fertile soil, but their ancestors have been unwilling to make progress for generations.The good land does not know how to dig ditches, does not know how to cultivate intensively, but only knows how to set fire to the forest, plant it for two or three years, and then burn another forest.What a waste of land!

This kind of behavior of burning forests for reclamation is called "burning ba", and it still exists even after hundreds of years.Every year, Indonesian farmers burn barley, and the smoke will drift to Singapore. Singaporeans have to wear masks to dare to go out.

"Assemble the peasants and soldiers, gather the peasants and soldiers!"

The young and strong in the fields everywhere took up the sickle and rushed to the ridge.

Simple ordnance is placed on the ridge, ready to fight at any time.There are spears, wooden shields, and leather armor, and they look decent after being arrayed.

The leather armor is sewn by themselves, made of pigskin.

The landlord's family slaughtered the pig, or the butcher slaughtered the pig, and the pig skins were sold out quickly.Farmers in the countryside buy pigskin to make armor, and add some bamboo pieces to it, which has a little defensive power.

More than 400 young and strong gathered quickly, and the command was handed over to Ge Shun, the leader of the peasants and soldiers.

Both sides moved towards the open area, and the scale of the native bandits surprised Lu Baohua and Ge Shun.

In previous years, there were only dozens of enemies, and at most a hundred people, but this time there were more than 300 enemies.

The natives also seemed surprised. When they came to rob last year, there were only about a hundred Han Chinese here. Why did they suddenly become four or five hundred?

It can only be said that the scale of the "war" is getting bigger and bigger!

Banten Sultan did not dare to provoke China, and turned a blind eye to the Han people's land development.The Javanese natives continued to lose their territories, and finally learned to unite, and two or three tribes gathered to send troops.

In these tribes, the total number of men, women, old and children is often only two or three hundred.

They burn the forest and reclaim it for one or two years before moving to another forest.Occasionally, tribal conflicts will break out. The main reason for the conflicts is the competition for forest land. Now the Han people are forcing the indigenous tribes to join hands with foreign countries.

"Crossbowmen step forward, sword shields and shields in hand!"

Dao Dun held the lid of the large pot and the sickle in his hand, standing nervously and firmly in front of him.

There are also wolf masters and spearmen, which are exactly the same as the early Datong army.

But the native Javanese on the opposite side didn't have any formation, and charged forward with a machete in hand.

More than 400 Han Chinese were young and strong, and they were divided into several small groups and marched slowly.Thirty crossbows were fired first, and the natives also shot bows and arrows, but they were self-made clay bows with little power.

Although the crossbow was powerful, the crossbowman's aim was not enough, and he only hit a few natives with one shot.

When the two sides fought, the aborigines were disturbed by the wolves, and the momentum of the charge slowed down.Most of the aborigines were blocked from the wolves, and some of them pushed through the wolves, but were stabbed to death and wounded by spears.

Less than 5 minutes into the battle, the aborigines completely collapsed, and Ge Shun led the young and strong to take advantage of the situation to chase and kill them.

In this battle, more than 27 enemies were killed and [-] people were captured.

They didn't chase too far, they had to come back to harvest the rice, and the war was the war, so they couldn't miss the farming season.

The captives can be taken to the city to sell, and the big landlords are willing to buy.

Half a month later, the rice was harvested.

Lu Baohua called a meeting of young and strong leaders: "You can't be beaten every year, you have to go out this year, so that the natives dare not come again!"

Ge Shun said: "There are indigenous tribes not far to the west. They burned the forest last year, and the forest fire burned a large area. So much land was burned, but less than half of it was used to grow food. It's really a waste of money." land!"

Lu Baohua said: "Every year when the governor buys women, he sells them first to the Han people in the city, and then to those Han people in the east. The newcomers we cultivate in the west don't even have a woman. Girls from my hometown don't want to go to sea to get married. We can only rely on ourselves to grab it!"

"What if we are rich and the girl from my hometown is willing to come and get married?" Xue Fentian asked.

The name "Fentian" is very common. It is estimated that when I was born, I happened to meet the Datong Army Fentian, just like the founding of the new China and the aid to Korea.

Wan Wenqing laughed beside him: "The aboriginal woman who was snatched can be a wife. If she marries a girl from her hometown again, the aboriginal woman can be a concubine."

"It's a good feeling, I can marry a concubine." Xue Fentian grinned.

The content of the meeting suddenly turned to how to grab and divide women.They don't have to worry about food and clothing here, what they lack is a family, and the hundreds of young and strong have long been exhausted.

These young people have cures for night blindness, all learned from farmers and soldiers, but many of the natives can't see clearly at night.

The plan for dispatching troops was to attack at night. Hundreds of young men traveled through the forest and reached the outskirts of the native village at night.

The natives were unsuspecting and ran around in the dark in fright after a few huts were set on fire.While the Han people were young and strong, they placed torches everywhere and beat the gongs loudly, creating a formation of thousands of troops to kill.

There was no suspense in the battle. After dawn, the number of people was counted, and more than 80 people were captured, of which more than 60 were women and children.

"Burn this place clean, move everything that can be moved away!" Lu Baohua was ruthless, arresting women was the second priority, he wanted to destroy this indigenous tribe.

The Datong government may have to face it, thinking about how to educate the aboriginals.

These non-governmental Han colonists came here no matter how convenient they were.Destroy a few more surrounding tribes, and you will be able to sit back and relax in the future, without having to worry about harvesting food every year.

Lu Baohua brought the captives back to the village, and all the men were sold in the city, while the women stayed to marry young men.

Who can divide the women will be determined by drawing lots.If you don't get it, wait until next year to grab it.

Colonization is not a dinner party, it will always be so bloody.

If things go on like this, I am afraid that in less than 30 years, Han Chinese farmers will be farming outside the city of Banten.

The Sultan of Banten must not be able to bear it. He must raise troops within three to five years, and even if he cannot win, he will have to fight hard.

Chapter 934 [Chittagong Port]

At the beginning of spring, Zhao Han had another concubine, and Portugal finally sent Princess Catalina.

Historically, Catalina married Charles II, and she brought up the habit of drinking tea in the British court.

The princess was fertile at the beginning, but she died after three miscarriages.

Caterina also brought news that King João IV of Portugal had died of illness before she left.

Afonso VI, who was frail and disabled, began to regent when the old king was seriously ill. The Netherlands took the opportunity to attack the Portuguese mainland and blocked the port for more than three months. As a result, Princess Caterina was unable to go to sea.Otherwise, she would have been able to marry and come to China last year.

"Your Majesty, the Dutch are very hateful. You should send troops to fight these robbers." Katerina couldn't wait to blow her pillow on the second day of her wedding.

Zhao Han said with a smile: "Of course I will send troops, but the armistice period between China and the Netherlands has not yet expired, and I will have to wait a few more years before sending troops."

Although Katerina was a little disappointed, she still acted coquettishly and flattered: "Your Majesty is the greatest monarch. As long as China sends troops, the Dutch will definitely lose badly."

"Haha, let's wait until the truce expires." Zhao Han turned over and held her down, and started the man-making operation again.

The 20-year-old princess is not stunning, but she is also youthful and beautiful.Moreover, on the ship to China, I learned to use Chinese for daily communication.

"The idea is good, let's work hard." Zhao Han felt more and more funny.

This woman has some desire for power, but she looks too immature. In Zhao Han's eyes, she is just a little sheep.

The prince who tried to invite Lu Tianxiang to dance was taken away by a plague.The current king of Portugal is a mentally ill teenager who has been paralyzed since childhood.

As for Caterina, she was married to Charles II in history, and she was not familiar with England yet, so she urged Charles to change the Anglican religion to Catholicism.Of course it didn't work out, and Charles was no fool.

Catalina became the queen of England, not only taught the British to drink afternoon tea, but also brought the dining knife and fork to England - before her, the British nobles ate with their hands and spoons.For slightly larger pieces of meat, I don’t know how to use a knife and fork, so I just grab it with my hands and eat it.

Now, Katerina is married to China, and the elegance and upbringing in the palace make her feel ashamed.She didn't dare to persuade the emperor to convert to religion, so she thought about giving birth to a son and sending him back to Portugal to become king.

When Zhao Han stopped breathing, Katerina kept rubbing against the emperor like a kitten: "Your Majesty, let's do it again, we will have a son next year."

"Next time, next time, I can't take it anymore." Zhao Han quickly refused.
