The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

Chapter 417: Pearl chain strategy

The fireworks will go down to Yangzhou in March, and in March, the Yan Changwu fleet will return to Kaohsiung!

The whole city is fanatical, and we warmly welcome Yan Changwu to return home in triumph!

Yang Ying'er, with her pregnant belly, took her two sons, Husky and Samoyed, to the dock to meet her husband.

She had it again. She was strong enough and was particularly able to give birth. As a result, the threshold of her father Yang Tiansheng’s home was broken. Unfortunately, Yang Ying’er’s mother was only her one daughter, but her two half sisters received hot rods, even Senior officials from the mainland have sent people over to get married with them!

But the two sisters were not as capable as Yang Ying'er when they got married. This is for later story.

Returning vows, worshiping the temple... and offering sacrifices to Mazu's mother, thanking her for the blessing of her old man, and letting the Southeast Fleet win a big victory, especially since she started to go against the wind, and later to the wind, she was called a divine help!

The headwind caused the Southeast Fleet to break the Dutchman's sail system, and when the wind came, the Dutch couldn't even run!

The incense at the Mazu Temple in Kaohsiung is extremely prosperous. The incense burned for seven days is worth tens of thousands of silver dollars. Bosses like Yan Changwu burned all the precious spices such as sandalwood, agarwood, rhubarb and ambergris in their homes. Worship the gods, the fragrance on the streets of Kaohsiung is so amazing. When you walk over, the clothes will automatically carry the fragrance, so there is no need to special incense!

Then the soldiers hung up big red flowers, put on military medals, rode on horses, "praised the street" parade, accept the orders of the crowd, and enjoy the glory!

The people cheered at the soldiers. Their enthusiasm was so scared that the red-haired "black warrior" Siresma, who was queuing with the enemy to shoot, was not blinking. He rode on a horse and was almost pulled off by the people. ..

According to folklore, he is the protector **** under the seat of Mazu Empress, just like the protector Mingwang and King Kong under the seat of Buddha, he has incredible abilities. His armor has invulnerable mana, and the big family wants to grab his armor!

The people rushed forward and wanted to strip him off the pigs --- grab the armor and take them home to get rid of evil spirits. They almost succeeded. Siresma punched and kicked, he was not an opponent at all!

Fortunately, the soldiers of Siresma woke up and rushed over to **** them. After the chaos, three soldiers were sent to the hospital for treatment!

Every time Siresma traveled thereafter, he did not dare to walk alone, always carrying a squad of soldiers to prevent being robbed of his armor!

Celebrate, eat and drink, for three days in a row!

On the morning of the fourth day, Yan Changwu returned to his office and started fighting.

He had to go over the official documents that had accumulated for many days. He found that Yang Yinger was very cautious and basically agreed to the decision to be handled by Chen Zhongji, while Chen Zhongji was an old courtier and handled things quite securely. During his absence, The entire southeast government implements a prudent fiscal system, act in accordance with the rules and laws, do not respect vanity, and do practical things.

This is good!

After a busy day, on the second day, he convened high-level officials including Chen Zhongji, Chen Hebin, Yang Tiansheng, Liu Zhifeng, Gan Hui, Storm, etc., which was regarded as a "big dynasty meeting."

Yang Ying'er didn't come, but she already knew what her husband wanted to say.

In the Overseer’s Office, everyone was sitting, and the relationship between the monarch and his subjects was relatively close. Naturally, the subjects dared to speak out.

"Uncle Chen, you talk about immigration!" At nine o'clock on time, Yan Changwu announced the meeting and said straightforwardly.

"Military, economic construction, and population are the three major issues that our Southeast government military and political system is focusing on. The population issue is our top priority. According to the sailing southward plan, we are about to send out the first batch of 1,000 immigrants. After departure, the population will continue to be transported to Java. After two weeks, the second batch of 3,000 will be sent. We will use two newly-built transport ships equivalent to the battleship level!"

"Within one year, we will transport 30,000 people away!"

"The population is not decreasing but decreasing, because we got 50,000 people from the mainland!" Chen Zhongji said hoarsely. He is very busy. Although the Southeast Mansion is the head of the wife, the real core is still inseparable from him.

"Military, Storm!" Yan Changwu said, pointing to the naturalized Hong Maofan.

Deputy Minister Chen De, who is in charge of military and political affairs at the Ministry of War, went to Java, and Storm ranked second. He was the one who was in charge.

"Although we won the Dutch, we still have to stay invested. We will increase the number of battleships by two each year, or four if possible, and reach the size of 30 battleships as soon as possible, before we can stop for a while, and other battleships must also be synchronized. Increase, in addition to the small increase in the number of troops in the Marine Corps, the Army first strengthened to three brigades, one brigade with 4,800 personnel, almost 5,000 personnel, and it should reach six brigades in three years."

"Why do we need to invest? Please look at the map!" Storm opened the cloth of the map wrapped in cloth next to it, and pointed it up with his pointer.

A large map was shown in front of everyone. This map is perhaps the most complete map of eastern Asia. There are mainland China, North Korea, Japan, Annan, the Malay Peninsula, the Philippines, and especially Southeast Asia. You can see from the west. To the east is the Big Island of Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Nusa Tenggara, Spice Islands, New Guinea and so on.

Although the map is immature and inaccurate in many places, it has been hard to come by. In addition to the maritime exploration brigade of the Southeast Prefecture who is drawing charts, they have almost exhausted the maps drawn by the Hong Maofan explorers. Anyway, a lot of money has been spent.

It was bright in everyone's eyes, and most of them saw this big map for the first time!

Yan Changwu is a map editor in the next life. He has been to many places, and those islands. He has actually been to many places. He has a good memory. He gave the names of those islands back to life as a commemoration!

Storm came to the map to open the frontier: "We will seize the islands in Southeast Asia that left the mainland! And!"

Point with a pointer, including the Indochina Peninsula, the Philippines, and the major islands of Southeast Asia!

"So you guys understand why I always don't think I have too many people? I don't think there are too many battleships? I dare not spend money for my own enjoyment!" Yan Changwu said leisurely, "How much, not too much!"

He left his seat, took the pointer in Storm’s hand, and started to nod: “Here in Luzon, I put 100,000 people, Sumatra’s 200,000 people are not too many, Java Island 100,000 people, Sulawesi If the islands, Nusa Tenggara, Spice Islands, and New Guinea all come to 100,000, um, there is also the Malay Peninsula, so it will cost millions of people, and come to a southeastern province again!"

Yan Changwu said in front of the map: "There are not enough people on such a large territory. We cannot occupy all the territory for the time being. Then we will occupy the main islands, the richest places, and the most important thing. Use this as a starting point to control the sea."

"Look!" He drew with a whip and whip: "Does it look like a pearl? An island is a pearl. I call this kind of strategic plan a pearl chain strategy. What we occupy is a pearl, what we get is a pearl, and we will Take these places as China's, and we will spread the branches and leaves and build a maritime Chinese empire!"

The voice he said was not loud, but it was like Dalu Huangzhong. The participants were excited and their chests were ups and downs. If he can succeed, they, as his main ministers, can leave a name in history, forever in the annals of history, and forever. , Eternal love!

think about it!

Yandi Huangdi, who laid the foundation for the land-based Chinese empire, has so far been regarded as descendants of Yandi and Huangdi.

If we really build a maritime Chinese empire, what would others say we are?

The more I think about it, the more excited I am, I'm afraid I won't sleep tonight!

The room is quite quiet, the sunlight shines into the room, it is bright, as if it has brightened everyone's journey!
