Messaging in this era is measured in months, even years.
Just when Europe is joining forces and is about to form a "new crusade".
The Ming Empire at this time.
Another harvest autumn has ushered in.
It was already the eighth year after the liberation, the autumn of 1779 AD.
If someone counts the grain output in the Han Dynasty during the Ming Dynasty, they will find that the grain output during the Ming Dynasty has reached a new high.
The price of food has dropped to a considerable level.
Yet the strange thing is.
However, there are not many instances of tenant farmers being evicted.
Landowners who took back their fields and hired people to take care of it made more money than before - of course, if they had a choice, they still missed the Qing Dynasty. After all, they were not only landlords at that time , or a gentry, a gentry with a high political status.
Where is it like now.
He has money, but he is just a rich man.
The political status is not as good as it was in the Qing Dynasty - of course, if someone in the family passes the imperial examination, it will be different.
Food from Northeast China and Southeast Asia poured in.
This further reduced the price of food to a point that made the rich locals in Han sigh and stamp their feet.
However, they are not small farmers, but agricultural capitalists who have the means of production and capital.
Food prices have come down.
Many estates that have switched to other cash crops have begun to appear in the southern provinces.
under the impact of capitalist agriculture.
More small farmers were forced off their land.
Either work in factories in Shanghai or Guangdong, or embark on a passenger ship traveling thousands of miles away.
Don't know when it started.
Perhaps it started after the imperial court began to contract shipping services to North America to major shipping companies.
The ferry ticket to the Jinzhou Protectorate has been reduced from 40 Ming Yuan per ticket to 15 Ming Yuan per ticket.
Such a low price.
The number of immigrants going to the Golden State Protectorate once exceeded the number of immigrants going to the Northeast and Northwest.
in this fall.
There are destined to be a large number of farmers, dragging their families with them, on ships bound for the New World. With their vision for the future, they embark on the journey to the legendary Golden State where everyone has meat to eat, land to plant, and gold everywhere. ——It is very important to get the name well.
Golden State.
It's definitely much better than Liaobei.
This place in northern Liaoning is bitterly cold when you hear it.
Jinzhou is very rich upon hearing it.
Therefore, those traveling to northern Liaoning are basically collective farms organized by the imperial court.
And heading to Jinzhou.
A considerable proportion of them are "homesteaders" who buy their own boat tickets to go there.
Sailing ships departing from Shanghai, Qingdao, Tianjin and other places usually have to be replenished in Japan.
So in addition to the Chinese, many Japanese also went by boat.
But their destination is not the Golden State.
It is located in the La Plana plain at the southernmost tip of South America.
There, the new Yamato Castle belonging to the Kingdom of Japan has been established, and it has also attracted a large number of poor Japanese samurai.
This piece of land was a reward given by the Ming Dynasty to Japan for "voluntarily" deposing the emperor and welcoming the sixth prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yizhen, as the king of Japan.
Nowadays, there are hundreds of thousands of poor Japanese samurai in New Japan surrounding New Yamato Castle. Together with some farmers who immigrated from North Korea, the population has reached more than 200,000.
This number is enough for them to become South American bullies.
The Spanish colonists there were very unlucky.
In order to defend their own territory, these Japanese dwarf warriors fought with incredible madness.
The Spaniards were able to bully the Japanese on the sea - but the Ming Empire sent a dispatch fleet to station in New Japan.
And on land.
The Spaniards are not enough.
A large number of Japanese samurai who once served in the Japanese Armed Forces of the Ming Dynasty formed the backbone of the new Japanese Army.
Faced with these Japanese who killed countless people in Southeast Asia.
The ferocity with which the Spanish bullied the South American natives was completely inadequate.
Soon these Japanese lunatics tore off a piece of territory from the La Plana Plain.
And after owning this piece of land.
Some Japanese warriors who served the Ming Dynasty also received rewards.
For example, he first helped the Ming Dynasty in Nanyang with its population reduction plan, and then followed Tokugawa Mitsuru to Kyoto to help depose the emperor. Then he went to the Northeast and went deep into the Outer Xing'an Mountains to drive away the local indigenous people and the remaining Eight Banners soldiers and Russians. The powerful Japanese samurai Tazan Gaku.
Now he is a vassal of New Japan who has obtained 8,000 acres of land in New Japan!
Of course.
If Tian Shangaku doesn't want to go to New Japan.
If you stay in the Ming Dynasty, you can also become Ming Dynasty officials and nobles as Ming Dynasty soldiers - most of the officers and soldiers of the Japanese Armed Forces of the Ming Dynasty can speak fluent Nanjing Mandarin and write Chinese characters.
And warriors like Tian Shanyue worked their way up from the bottom.
He even got a letter of apology personally written by Emperor Zhu Daohua.
"It's the Emperor's own handwriting, Tianshan-kun, are you really going to South America?"
In the official office of Heilongjiang City in northern Liaoning Province.
Chen Zhongliang, a fourth-rank official in the Ming Dynasty who was the general manager of the Northeastern Reclamation, looked at his old partner and said.
Chen Zhongliang was the main executor of the collective farm system in Northeast China.
I worked in the Northeast for three years.
Based on his merits, the next one will definitely become a territorial leader!
Or the governor of a province, or the governor of a certain protective palace.
Anyway.
Chen Zhongliang will definitely be able to join the cabinet in the future!
So here in the Northeast, many people have started to burn their stoves.
However, after living in the Northeast for several years, Chen Zhongliang, a fair-faced scholar from Guangzhou, now looks like a rough guy from the Northeast.
Because being an official in the Northeast is not as peaceful as in Guan.
Although on the map.
From Dalian to the north all the way to the Arctic Ocean, this large area is the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
But in fact, the current government office of the Ming Dynasty is located in Hailanpao City in the Northern Xing'an Mountains.
Most of the area north of Hailanpao City still belongs to the territory of the map, and the rule of the Ming Dynasty government cannot reach this area.
even.
Conflicts large and small continue.
Conflicts between collective farm households and local indigenous tribes often occurred.
The Russians left here merged with the remnants of the Eight Banners and indigenous tribes and became brutal bandits in the dense forest.
So much so that now collective farm households in the Northern Xing'an Mountains must carry guns and be ready for battle at all times.
Guns are a necessity of life in Beixing'anling. If a house doesn't have a gun, even Zhuangzi won't be able to leave.
Chen Zhongliang has long been accustomed to this.
Wasn't this also the case in Borneo?
The only difference is that in the Beixing'an Mountains, the enemies here are more ferocious and cunning, and their weapons are more advanced - of course, no matter how advanced they are, they cannot be as advanced as the Ming Dynasty.
As the Ming Army summarized its experience in the Battle of Leliuhe, the army began to comprehensively replace breech-loading guns. Infantry companies began to be equipped with mortars and mountain artillery platoons to make up for the disadvantages in the range of breech-loading guns, forming an infantry company mainly equipped with artillery. For the grouping of firepower output.
This caught some gun factories that had mass produced front-loading rifled guns off guard. In addition to the rifled guns in stock, a large number of rifled guns that had been replaced by the army were also looking for buyers everywhere.
As a result, the price of rifled guns suddenly dropped.
Nowadays, not many farmers in the Northeast still use muskets - the consumption power of farmers is generally higher than that of farmers and workers in the pass.
"If it were the time when Boar Skin raised an army, everyone in Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty would have a gun and everyone would dare to fight. The old thief chief would have been beaten into a hornet's nest even if he had 130,000 pairs of armor, not to mention thirteen pairs of armor."
Chen Zhongliang said with emotion.
"If everyone had a gun, the officials of the Ming Dynasty would not dare to oppress the people too much." Tian Shanyue said.
To sum up, the death of the previous Ming Dynasty is the outstanding teaching of the new Ming Dynasty. Even the emperor talks about the experience and lessons of the death of the previous Ming Dynasty every day.
So Tian Shanyue said it casually without violating any taboos.
"Having said that, Brother Chen has been operating in the Northeast for many years. The emperor will also remember my contribution. In my opinion, my promotion is not far away."
Chen Zhongliang smiled bitterly. To be honest, being an official in the Northeast is very difficult. Even though he is a fourth-grade official, the people with guns in the Northeast are not as afraid of him as the people in the pass are when they see the official. .
If a policy is not in line with the people's support, people will dare to make trouble on the spot.
The Ming people here are really difficult to control.
If Chen Zhongliang were allowed to choose, he would rather go to Guan Nei and become a prefect.
Just as the two were talking.
A green-robed official came in a hurry.
"Mr. Chen, the Government Affairs Council has transferred the order! Congratulations on your promotion!"
"Gao Sheng? Where to go?"
"Promote Chen Zhongliang to the Governor of California?!" Chen Zhongliang was stunned, "Where is California?"
"In the New World!" (End of Chapter)
