A certain prince believed that after the liberation of Sakhalin Island, a large-scale migration of people could be carried out there. The people who lived on the island before were local indigenous people and a small number of braids.

All the natives who abandoned darkness and turned to the light could survive, and the stubborn braids were naturally not among them. Whether they entered the mountains or jumped into the sea, if they were unwilling to choose, the Ming troops who landed on the island would help braids for fun.

It would be great if the natives who are familiar with the terrain can be used to eliminate all the pigtails on the island, while the Ming army cheers on them.

The primary purpose of the imperial court was to occupy the island, restore Dong control over Sakhalin, reestablish order, and spread civilization.

As for who killed the braids in the end, it doesn't matter, even if the Ezo people from the south came to braid them.

The Ming Dynasty Navy could transport a small number of landing troops, but it was beyond its capabilities when it involved a large-scale movement of hundreds of thousands of people. It had to ask for help from Zheng Laofi.

Each ship carries fifty rumin, and 500 ships carry 25,000 people. If it is shipped four times a year, 100,000 people will be able to go to the island to find food before the end of the year.

Sakhalin Island is half the size of a mountain and is extremely rich in resources. Feeding 100,000 people is not a problem at all.

The mineable reserves of coal mines in the south are no less than 50 million tons. If 100,000 tons are dug out every year, the per capita quota can be reached by one ton.

In addition to summer, in autumn, winter and spring, whenever you feel cold in the house, you can burn coal for heating.

The island's crude oil reserves exceed 5 billion tons. It would be better if they can be extracted. It doesn't matter if they can't be extracted temporarily.

Because there is coal to burn, you will not freeze to death in winter, and the mining volume is low and you can burn firewood.

Fir, fish scale pine, and broadleaf pine are everywhere, which can not only be used as fuel, but also as materials for building houses.

The northern part of Sakhalin Island is full of plains. After reclamation, wheat and potatoes can be grown to achieve one crop a year.

Further north is the famous Sea of ​​Okhotsk fishing ground, which produces almost inexhaustible cod, herring, and salmon.

The chicken seems to smell like braised cod, herring and salmon are also very good food, at least there are much less spines than freshwater fish.

Fish with relatively few spines like mandarin fish and bass are fine. Carp, grass carp, silver carp, crucian carp and other species can annoy people to death just by picking their spines when eating.

The imperial chefs were able to remove most of the fish bones when cooking, but there was no guarantee that they would never fail.

Yaoji asked the chef to cook less freshwater fish because he was afraid of choking his younger brothers and sisters. Once it got stuck in the throat, it would be difficult to take it out, so it was better to eat sea fish.

Grouper is difficult to catch, and tuna is very rare, but there are a lot of pomfret, hairtail, croaker, and anchovies offshore.

Later, they were completely fished out using trawlers to fish wildly. In this era, offshore fish are almost inexhaustible.

It is difficult to preserve seafood after summer, but it will be much better after autumn.

By then, all kinds of seafood can be transported to the capital. Not only sea fish, but also clams, conches and pippi shrimps can be eaten enough.

Madan!

All in all, the biggest advantage of traveling to ancient times is that seafood is super cheap, and sometimes it doesn’t cost anything at all.

As long as you can dive, you can catch a swimming crab to eat along the tidal flats, and it's still wild.

In the spring and summer, we will eat two-legged and four-legged ones for the time being, but in autumn and winter, it will be the season to eat seafood.

In front of me is a large pot of cooked seafood, surrounded by my brother and sister who are foodies.

It feels so wonderful to drink sour plum soup and chew conch meat dipped in dipping sauce.

A lot of seafood can be caught from Dago, and it should take less than 24 hours to transport it directly along the river to the capital, which is equivalent to eating fresh on the same day.

Considering that the journey is relatively short and the courier guy is given a lot of money, this should not be considered the PLUS version of The Legend of Tang Lychee.

Eating seafood doesn’t seem to be a waste of money, especially in autumn and winter.

When thinking of eating seafood from Sakhalin Island, probably no one else...

A certain prince planned to transfer a total of one million coins to the island over ten years, and at least half a million dollars would have to be transferred.

Such a fertile place is not too far from the mainland. It takes less than two weeks to reach it by boat. Of course, it must be returned to the Ming Dynasty.

Even if Huang Taiji saw the news in the newspaper, he could only watch helplessly.

If he wanted to drive the Ming army's landing troops into the sea, he would have to dispatch at least two flags.

All naval warships must be transferred to the Whale Sea. Otherwise, using small sampans to transport troops across the sea will be a living target for the Ming Navy warships.

Starting from Liaobei, whether we can reach that place within two months is another matter. Even if we get there, the braids can only sigh in despair.

A certain prince wanted to open a second battlefield in Huangtaiji's backyard, then explode a certain Taiji's anus, and make him unable to resist his actions.

At best, they can continue to enter the barrier to fight against the autumn wind, but for Yaoji, it is not the first time that Braid has entered the barrier again to plunder. He can come in if he wants to, and there is no way to stop him anyway.

You hit yours, I'll hit mine, let's each show our abilities, each hit our own, see who can't hold it back first.

As a strange descendant of Zhu Laoliu Bean Curd, we must uphold the legacy of our ancestors - whoever does not attack is a grandson!

I will use this tactic, do whatever you like!

If you want to move, you will die if you don't~!

In the future, any official who is disobedient will be sent to Sakhalin Island for some training.

Still unwilling to repent, he was sent to a more beautiful place - Kamchatka Peninsula!

There are living walruses and active volcanoes, but otherwise it's completely deserted!

It’s guaranteed to make you feel relaxed and happy if you go there, and you won’t want to come here a second time in your life!

Sakhalin also limits the area of ​​cultivated land per capita, but there is no such restriction on the Kamchatka Peninsula.

You can just declare that the island belongs to you, stand on your head on the island, run around, tease the walrus, and no one will care about you if the walrus slaps you!

In the future, some criminals who are not worthy of being decapitated, but who will cause harm to the people again when released, can be sent to the Kamchatka Peninsula to enjoy a comfortable "good life"...

A certain prince really couldn't think of a place other than the Arctic and Alaska that was more suitable for these guys to live.

After being transported there, each person was given a weapon, a set of clothes, and ten days of rations.

Then thousands of people can play a real-life version of the "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" game on this peninsula!

You can fight alone or in groups, you can caress with your bare hands, or you can fight with weapons, which combines excitement and entertainment.

There is neither an official army nor a king's law here. Survival depends entirely on one's own ability. This is the best interpretation of the term "survival of the fittest".

Without a boat, it is almost impossible to walk back on foot. It is a 5,000-kilometer journey and there is no map. I would just enjoy the happy life with the walruses on the peninsula for the rest of my life.

A certain prince felt that after this major good news was widely publicized through the "Jingshi Daily", the crime rate in the Ming Dynasty would be reduced by more than half...

I forgot to mention that there are many Bears and Bears on the island. After going there, life is endless. You can eat enough bear paws, which is guaranteed to be very satisfying~!

If someone can control a bear, he can ride a bear to fight in the future. That would be extremely exciting.

It is easy to recruit a group of younger brothers, and maybe a Kamchatka Kingdom will be established from then on.

The great "King of the North" was born!

The elite of the army is the bear cavalry, and the main force of the navy is the armed walrus!

It would be perfect if there was a reconnaissance force of hundreds of sea eagles in the sky.

Once the whole army goes out to fight, just thinking about this scene will make the blood of the viewers boil. How majestic!

When the surrounding indigenous people saw the king's arrival, they would prostrate themselves on the ground and worship him endlessly, regarding the "King of the North" as a totem in their hearts.

The first "King in the North" still has to go through an audition. He might starve to death before he takes the throne...

Before that, we still have to settle the affairs of Sakhalin Island, including the three major items of military, economy, and livelihood.

A certain prince hoped that many vassal kings would actively sign up. After all, the opportunity to leave the country and settle down was very precious.

They don't think about themselves, but also think about future generations. After that, they can really dominate and dominate.

Yaoji thinks that the quota of 500,000 taels is really not expensive.

If we weren't all relatives, most people wouldn't sell it.

Besides, people's hearts are made of flesh, and a certain prince really couldn't bear to watch each of the feudal princes being slaughtered like fat pigs by the bandits.

Not only did I not eat pork, I didn't even touch pig trotters and pig tails, so I felt very unbalanced.

In view of this, don't wait for the bandits to catch the pigs, and take the initiative yourself.

Yaoji hopes to pocket five million taels of silver from this transfer to the feudal vassal state, and he should be optimistic about realizing this amount.

Especially the great uncle of the Ming Dynasty, King Fu, was the richest in the world.

Whenever he was short of money, a certain prince would covet it...

Oh~ no, I should be looking forward to it!

Since they are real relatives, when a certain prince is short of money, of course he must give generously.

If you don't understand it, someone will help you to untie it. I guarantee that you can untie it until you can't even lift your pants!

Besides, King Fu is so fat, it would be inappropriate to live in a tropical place like Hainan, where even breathing would be extremely difficult.

Fat people are most afraid of heat, but Sakhalin Island, with its crisp autumn air, is more suitable for the imperial uncle to spend his old age. A certain prince is very considerate.

If King Fu obeys the order, he can build a new palace on the island. Although it is made of wood, it is still a palace.

The fat prince can do whatever he wants in there, and no one will bother him even if the island sinks.

It would be best if King Fuku drove Sakhalin to sink a certain Tokugawa general's Honshu Island. That would be an act of immeasurable merit...

Yaoji planned to arrange at least three vassal kings to settle on the island, and guaranteed to pocket one million taels of silver.

We have to earn back both the money spent on building the battleship and the money used to build the warships, and there are still hundreds of thousands taels left over to make up for the capital.

This is equivalent to selling Sakhalin Island to the feudal king, but as long as they are still loyal to the Ming Dynasty on the surface, that's fine.

He made money, the court gained prestige, the army regained lost territory, the navy equipped warships, Liu Min got the land, and the vassal king was relieved.

This seems to be a great move that kills two birds with one stone!

If you don’t brag about it, you will seem to have missed a huge event that benefits the country and the people~!

This is equivalent to eating the cake in Huang Taiji's backyard without having to look at the owner's face.

Because Huang Taiji had originally stolen this piece of cake from Daming, even if he ate it all, it was a matter of course.

If Huang Taiji doesn't care, once the defense line on Sakhalin Island is consolidated, the Ming army can cross the strait and march to the mainland.

Especially on the opposite side, the Ha'ermanwei and Buluwuwei developed their territory, gradually encroaching on the territory south of the Longjiang estuary.

If the little pigtails come in too quickly, they'll be slapped to death.

If the main force of Braid goes on an expedition, he will immediately run away to Sakhalin Island.

If they dare to cross the sea, they will be treated like a violent storm!

If we meet on a narrow road here, we no longer need to be used to braids.

It is one thing to fight in the Ming Dynasty, but it is another thing to fight in Sakhalin.

Because there is a strait separating them, pigtails who successfully land will face the situation of being outnumbered and facing many enemies.

It might be one against three, or one against five, or even one against ten, or one against twenty.

Although the Ming army and the local farmers were all in the fifth category of war, they could still use their quantitative advantage to offset the braid's quality advantage.

Fighting on the mainland, pigtails have horses. If you can't beat them, you can still run away, and then wait for the opportunity to come back for revenge.

However, there were only a few pigtails who landed on the island, and even fewer who could ride a horse. Once discovered and surrounded by the defenders, it would be almost a dead end.

Want to go back?

Then jump into the sea!

The distance is less than ten kilometers, neither close nor far.

And remember that you must jump into the sea in the summer. If you jump into the sea in the other three seasons, you will be frozen by the cold water before you can swim back.

Yaoji drew a sketch of Sakhalin Island, temporarily divided the island into three, and then clearly marked the price.

The north is the most expensive because more than 90% of it is plain, which allows for large-scale farming and is close to the fishing grounds of the Sea of ​​Okhotsk.

There are plains and mountains in the central region, which seems to be relatively useless at the moment and is classified as the cheapest area.

Although the terrain in the south is the worst, it has a lot of wood and large coal mines, and the prices are medium.

The rich lord can buy the northern land, the poor can buy the central land, and those in between can buy the southern land.

On this island, the imperial court can only retain a few naval and air force bases. Excluding the surrendered indigenous territories, the rest can be under the jurisdiction of the vassal king, and the ownership is calculated separately.

Those who land on the island Liumin can get corresponding land, six acres for each adult man, four acres for each adult woman, two acres for each person regardless of gender, old or young, and eighteen acres of land for couples plus parents and two children.

If you still have money left over, you can also rent the feudal king's land as a tenant, with tax exemption for the first year, one tax per ten for the second year, and two taxes per ten thereafter.

The imperial court did not impose taxes on Dao Min. If food was needed, it could be purchased at market price.

As for other properties, I'm sorry, but a certain prince has not taken a fancy to them for the time being...

Some people think that such conditions are not good enough, so the factory guard will send them to Kamchatka for free for a year of free play!

You can take him back after a year and everything will be business as usual, as long as the person survives until then!

Yaoji felt that anyone who came back alive from Kamchatka would never dare to say anything bad about himself.

Not only that, but they also trick others into going to Kamchatka, which is absolutely dreamlike...

Bears, walruses, volcanoes, and wilderness, you can’t even find a place to cry!

Don’t be in a hurry to come back, it’s not too late to return home in glory once you become the “King of the North”~!
