After the Liaodong Bureau won a great victory in the Liaodong Campaign last winter. Five thousand regular cavalry were quickly formed. It greatly enhanced the confidence of the people in Liaodong Bureau. The Liaodong Bureau is united. This makes the rapidly expanding Liaodong Bureau rock solid.
Liaodong Bureau's agriculture will naturally not be a problem. A large amount of fertile land was originally only extensively cultivated. Now there are advanced farm tools manufactured by the Liaodong Bureau and a large number of original Han slaves. Plus the high-quality seeds promoted by Li Miao.
The Liaodong Bureau will definitely become the granary of Li Miao's power. This year's Liaodong Bureau also planted a large amount of soybeans. The nutritional value of soybeans is extremely high, which is beneficial to improving the physical fitness of the people in Liaodong Bureau. The guards of the mausoleum must have priority.
The guards are the guarantee of the future stability of the Liaodong Bureau. People who practice martial arts naturally cannot do without nutrition. They have no shortage of meat, poultry and eggs all year round, and this has long been the tradition of Li Miao's power. As for medicated meals and even Dali Pills, they are not available to ordinary guards.
Nearly 600,000 former Han slaves have long since returned home, and more than 100,000 of them have become the bodyguards of the Liaodong Bureau. He is also the mainstay of the Liaodong Bureau. They are well-paid and practice martial arts all year round. The force value is increasing every moment.
A large number of former Han slaves engaged in farming also lived a happy life that they could not have imagined before. Although not as good as the guards, these guards are also from these families.
If they were allowed to go back to the past, they would live a life of being imprisoned by Jurchens. They will definitely not agree to it even if they die. In addition to these guards, as members of the observation group this year, they witnessed the destruction of the Jurchens with their own eyes.
The myth that the Jurchens were invincible collapsed in their minds. This strengthened their determination to defend the fruits of victory.
I saw that the guards who participated in the battle this year all made a lot of money. Some even gained special skills such as Cun Jin due to their merit points. These guards who practiced Jeet Kune Do wished that the Jurchens would come and kill them earlier.
The cement plants and steel plants of the Liaodong Bureau have developed rapidly after the participation of a large number of mining slaves. The old factory is operating at full capacity, and the new factory is constantly being put into production.
Produced a large amount of cement and advanced agricultural tools. Continuously improve the traffic situation of Liaodong Bureau. and improve farmers’ labor efficiency. Steel was even added to key parts of the mausoleum. Making the mausoleum stronger than before.
There is also a large amount of remaining cement and high-quality agricultural tools. It began to be transported by sea to the north and south of the Zheng Dynasty. High-quality agricultural tools can improve farmers' labor efficiency. Indirectly increase food production and improve farmers' lives.
Li Miao also received a wave of luck as a result. Steel plants produce large amounts of steel. There are only a small number of fine irons that can be used in weapons manufacturing. Large amounts of steel are currently only used to make agricultural tools. It can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.
With a large amount of cement flowing into the Great Zheng Dynasty, these cements are not cheap. Shipping from Liaodong Bureau to Dazheng Dynasty, the freight alone is not a small amount. But it is still loved by everyone. The key is ease of use. Durable!
First of all, Shunfeng Transport Escort took a good lead. The road in front of the farm, as well as the yard inside the farm, were the first to use cement, and the results were great. The advertising effect is naturally very good.
Next, many wealthy families used cement to harden roads and drying areas. Convenient and durable. Very popular with everyone. Soon the government began to follow suit. The main roads in many cities and towns began to be repaired with cement.
As cement was gradually promoted in the Dazheng Dynasty, supply gradually exceeded demand. In fact, the production of cement is not difficult to put it bluntly. But it requires a lot of manpower.
In this age without machinery, I want to grind stones into powder. It is destined to require a large number of manpower. The Liaodong Bureau now has more than 30,000 war slaves. It is far away from the Zheng Dynasty and will not touch the nerves of the imperial court.
Therefore, cement will not be produced in Dazheng Dynasty for the time being. Therefore, it is destined that the price of cement will not become cheaper for the time being. There is still a big gap between the goal of entering the homes of ordinary people.
In Liaodong Bureau, with the surge in demand for cement, a paper mill was also extended. It is a paper bag factory that produces cement packaging. After all, cement is easily affected by moisture and difficult to preserve. The original use of straw bags is obviously no longer suitable.
With the rise of Liaodong Bureau's industry, more and more mining slaves are needed. So it coincided with the Southern Bureau. Last year, Li Miao formulated the island strategy for the Southern Bureau.
Although the Southern Bureau tried its best to implement it, the effect was very little. After all, the Southern Bureau's force power was limited at that time, and it could only occupy the islands that it could conquer. On the contrary, those islands have dangerous geographical locations and good natural environment. The Southern Bureau could only look at the island and sigh.
The Liaodong Bureau has long been salivating when looking at these islands. These are all mining slaves, and they are all mining slaves that the Liaodong Bureau urgently needs. Besides, these islands have unique geographical locations and good natural conditions.
It is basically a move-in type. The natural harbors on some islands are really great. Much better than Dalian Port. In addition, most of these islands are rich in fresh water resources and have many fertile fields.
Except for some scarce supplies, it is basically self-sufficient. The port of the Liaodong Bureau is now almost full of large and small ships. The key is that in recent years, the production capacity of the Liaodong Bureau Shipyard has increased significantly.
The needs of the Southern Bureau and the Northern Bureau are limited, so they can only park at the ports of the Liaodong Bureau. In order to prevent sailors and guards from becoming useless. Most of the time they are organized to go fishing in the open sea.
More importantly, there are many imprisoned residents on these islands. These residents are basically water-loving. Among Li Miao's current forces, what he lacks most are sailors.
If we can treat these aboriginal people well, we can train them to become sailors and guards on large and small sea ships. In this way, the bottleneck in the development of Li Miao's maritime strength will be broken. As for those pirates, they are destined to become mining slaves.
When Li Miao received the reports from the Liaodong Bureau and the Southern Bureau almost at the same time, he felt that he had seriously neglected his duty. For such an important matter, I should have already planned for it. He was actually urged to do so by his subordinates.
Knowing the maritime strategy is Li Miao's focus. Based on his understanding of later generations, Li Miao began to pay attention to maritime strategy early on. I have been so busy these past few years that I have neglected such important things.
After all, once the threat of the Jurchens is eliminated in the future Zheng Dynasty, the biggest remaining threat must come from the sea. Li Miao originally sent Wang Yonggui to Shandong because developing maritime power was the key.
As for promoting high-quality seeds, there is no need to go to Qingzhou, Shandong. But it's not too late, and the time is just right. A letter from the president of the Southern Bureau expressed the idea of the Southern Bureau Chamber of Commerce to establish its authority.
As Shunfeng Transportation Escort Agency grows in the southern region, people don't know that they are the same company. I always think that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Some forces began to place bets to please Shunfeng Transportation Escort Agency. Therefore, the Southern Bureau Chamber of Commerce occasionally encounters some resistance.
It's not that the Southern Bureau can't handle it, the key is to take the trouble. Therefore, Li Zuhua, the head of the Southern Bureau, wanted to use the name of this eradication of pirates to establish prestige for the Southern Bureau Chamber of Commerce. The inland water transportation of the Southern Bureau Chamber of Commerce dominates the south.
In terms of shipping, the Southern Bureau is also involved. It's just that outsiders don't know the details yet. This time, we just took advantage of the Liaodong Bureau to establish our authority! From now on, the ship power that will occupy the southern seas can also be regarded as the power of the Southern Bureau.
Regarding maritime power, Li Miao also carefully considered it. At present, it can only be allowed to be under the dual leadership of itself and the local bureaus. In other words, the current maritime power is divided into the Southern Bureau, Northern Bureau and Liaodong Bureau according to regions.
The key is that the current maritime power is not strong enough. When it grows to a certain level, it must become independent. It will then become a naval fleet. It consists of the Southern Fleet, the Northern Fleet, and the Liaodong Fleet.
Li Miao thought twice and signed the Shunfeng family decree. Agree with the request of Liaodong Bureau and Southern Bureau. And handed it over to the Southern Bureau for coordination, so that the Southern Bureau can establish its authority. Except for a few ships left behind by the Liaodong Bureau, all other large and small sea-going ships were dispatched.
Now the large and small ships of the Liaodong Bureau have basically lost their strategic significance. The Jurchens' maritime power was basically useless. How could the remaining treasures be willing to deliver food to the Liaodong Bureau?
No large or small ships from the Northern Bureau will participate in this operation. This is also for the sake of caution. Never underestimate the intelligence of other forces. Besides, the maritime power of the Southern Bureau and Liaodong Bureau is enough.
At the same time, the Southern Bureau Chamber of Commerce began to issue announcements. The announcement stated that a ship belonging to the Southern Bureau Chamber of Commerce was attacked by pirates in the southern coastal waters. In order to maintain the dignity of the Southern Bureau Chamber of Commerce.
It is also to maintain the safety of people’s lives and property in the entire southern coastal area. The maritime power of the Southern Bureau Chamber of Commerce will carry out a dragnet-like cleanup of pirates in the entire southern coastal area.
The announcement stated that in fifteen days, the Southern Bureau Chamber of Commerce will begin to impose a sea ban on the entire southern coast. All passing ships will be impounded at that time. In case of resistance, they will be killed without mercy. Special announcement.
