According to Fan Wencheng's suggestion, Duoduo informed the news of Huang Taiji's death, and then did not follow Fan Wencheng's good news, but just gathered the top leaders of the Qing Dynasty and immediately held the throne ceremony.

Duoduo himself had no culture. In addition to the Qing Dynasty, the rest of the Manchus had no culture, and they didn’t care about the auspicious issue.

As soon as the news of Huang Taiji's defeat and death was announced, the whole Liao Dynasty was shocked. Even the Ming army in western Liaoning was alarmed and quickly reported to the capital.

When Chongzhen received the news, he was confused and confused, Zhao Yan had sent a memorial to explain. In the memorial, Zhao Yan said that there was nothing wrong with it, and Huang Taiji was still in North Korea. It was just a lie that Duoduo spread to seize power. Chongzhen let go of his doubts and then issued an imperial edict urging Zhao Yan to advance to North Korea and rescue the barriers.

At this time in Liaodong, Zhao Yong's first battalion had conquered Fuzhou, Yongning, and Gaizhou, and had completely controlled the Liaodong Peninsula and was advancing to Yaozhou, Haizhou, Anshan and Liaoyang. Those civilians had also taken a boat to the Liaodong Peninsula and began to plan the construction of the farm.

It has entered the stage of external expansion. Zhao Yan deeply feels that the population is not enough to fill the land, so it is necessary to build a farm.

There is no future for meticulous cultivation. It is not only exhausting, but also has a very low personal output value. For example, the grain output in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, as for wheat, some places can reach three stones per acre, and rice can even reach four stones in a very small area. However, it is very tiring that a person can only cultivate more than ten acres of land at most.

For example, in Denglai, each household gives 50 acres of land, and if it is a couple, it is 25 acres per person. Therefore, Denglai's agricultural production is a model between intensive cultivation and extensive planting. Therefore, only one acre of land yields is one stone. If it is absolutely intensive cultivation, the yield per acre will be higher.

So far, although there are poor people recruited from other places every day, Qingzhou Prefecture has never been able to fill it up.

In this environment, it is necessary to develop a farm with a combination of agriculture and animal husbandry. Although under this model, the population supported by a labor force is not much higher than that of intensive farming, but the meat output is higher, the disaster resistance is stronger, and the personal output value is also high, so colleagues don’t have to be so tired.

The reason why the disaster resistance is stronger is that if the disaster year comes, there is enough land as a buffer space and you can change it freely in the mode of intensive cultivation and extensive planting.

According to the preliminary estimates of the explorers, the arable land area on the Liaodong Peninsula is about 10 million mu. If the First Battalion can be advanced to Liaoyang, the arable land area will rise to 15 million mu.

The Han people in Liaodong were at most more than 1.5 million, which would have to be included in the land in the unrecovered areas. If the entire Liaodong land was distributed to more than 1.5 million people, one person would be divided into thousands of acres.

The farm model is a new major at Denglai University, mainly guided by missionaries from the West. In addition, after conducting experiments in Qingzhou, the specifications of ordinary farms were finally determined.

For ordinary Han people, each household is divided into 300 mu of land, of which 200 mu are used as pasture to feed cattle and horses, and the remaining 100 mu are used to extensively plant grains.

Most Han people in Liaodong were good at raising horses. They would cultivate according to this model and get a large number of war horses within ten years.

The number of Han people in Liaodong has now been rescued has reached more than 260,000, with a total of about 70,000 households, each household with 300 mu of land, which can just digest 21 million mu of land.

Although it seems that the land is not enough, it is actually impossible for everyone to become a farmer. Zhao Yan will also build cement factories, steel factories, shipyards and other factories in Liaodong, so naturally many workers are needed.

With the current situation in Shandong, it is impossible to immigrate too many people to Liaodong. California, Hokkaido, and Australia are the first choices of immigration areas for Zhao Yan. Those areas must still need immigration, but now even the enrichment speed of Qingzhou Prefecture has become slow.

After the administrative staff and the agricultural students from Denglai University arrived at the Liaodong Peninsula, the fleet began to transport technicians and various materials from various factories to Liaodong.

The battle situation in Liaodong also touched the nerves of many Shandong gentry. Zhao Yan asked Longkou to set up a celebration banquet. The gentry came to Longkou to celebrate Zhao Yan one after another. Zhao Yan took the opportunity to throw a suggestion to them to open a shipyard in Liaodong.

However, the squire and businessmen were still a little hesitant.

"Don't worry, Jiannu's vitality is severely damaged, our Shandong army will take steady steps, and it is a foregone conclusion to restore Liao within three years. If you invest money to open a shipyard in Liaodong at this time, the ship craftsman and technical officer will provide you with it. If you build a sea ship, as long as the quality is passed, you will be purchased with the best." Zhao Yan guaranteed them.

"The general has always promised a thousand yuan, and he has a great reputation in Shandong. The villain paid 200,000 taels to build a shipyard." A businessman stood up and said.

"I will pay 500,000 taels." Zheng Shilian also stood up and said. As the Shandong Da Shang, who has the closest cooperative relationship with Zhao Yan, he has to support whatever he says at this moment.

Under the leadership of these two people, the other merchants paid more or less tens of thousands of taels. Zhao Yan said at this time: "If you invest less money, you can join hands with others to operate. This way, the funds will be abundant and the shipyard will be larger."

"What the general said is very true, let us discuss it." The merchants and squire nodded, and a group of people discussed the issue of joining the shares in Longkou.

Zhao Yan has to give him face! Liaodong won again this time and the limelight was in full swing.

Those merchants invested more money, while those gentry had relatively less money. However, after negotiations, they reported to eight shipyards to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and the funds all reached more than 200,000 taels.

Among them, the "Zhenyi Shipyard" composed of Zheng Shilian and four other shareholders reached the highest fund of 800,000 taels.

The Industrial and Commercial Bureau immediately issued the "Regulations on Administration of Industry and Regulations", which first prohibits all malicious competition, and then reiterates the ship quality issues, and at the same time encourages shipyards' technological innovation.

Those who compete maliciously and have poor quality will be punished accordingly, and technological innovation will be issued to patents, and a series of rewards will be given to major technological breakthroughs.

In addition, there is also the management of equity. If shareholders want to sell shares, they must seek the consent of other shareholders, etc., all of which adopt the rules and regulations of later generations.

The "Regulations on Industries and Regulations" of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau have a great deterrent effect on businessmen of this era, especially those with great prominence.

If the regulations are violated, the reputation will be bad.

At the same time, in addition to the "Regulations on Industry and Regulations", there is also an "Enterprise Management Suggestion". The "Enterprise Management Suggestion" mainly recommends to them that the management model of shipyards is focused on technological innovation, talent cultivation, and some methods of regular management, which are all the experience accumulated by Longkou Shipyard.

In addition to accepting military orders, shipyards can also accept orders for civilian merchant ships and fishing boats, but it is prohibited to manufacture more than 500 tons of civilian ships and any combat ships to any country except the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, shipbuilding technology is a state secret and it is prohibited to export any technology to any country.

After the celebration banquet, Zhao Yan asked Quan Guang to post famous posts and held the first industrial and commercial conference on the fifteenth of next month, mainly discussing the issues of loans and commercial taxation.

In this year's budget, 10 million taels are used as interest-free loans to stimulate industry and commerce, but the loans are mainly small and medium-sized businessmen, and they mainly rely on large-scale support to comprehensively stimulate the development of industry and commerce.

At the same time, Denglai Bank also has a loan of 5 million taels, which is open to those big businesses. This is definitely a feast, a feast for business.

Although 15 million taels may not be much compared to those salt merchants in Lianghuai, those salt merchants in Lianghuai relied on selling private salt. When they made money, they threw it into the treasury and then did their best to do it, which was of no help to the development of industry and commerce.

As soon as the news was released, the whole of Shandong was sensation. There were no restrictions or requirements for this industrial and commercial conference. As long as you have a certain business experience, you can participate in it and some small workshop owners.

At the same time, the advanced research results of Denglai Academy of Sciences and Denglai University will be open to Shandong merchants and workshop owners at any time to give them the strongest competitiveness.

...After annihilated the Qing navy, a total of 34 Qing warships were captured, and the remaining twenty were missing. After learning that Huang Taiji was not on the ship, the first fleet immediately returned to Longkou the next day.

On March 21, the First Fleet and ten frigates sailed out of Longkou under the order of Zhao Yan. The First Fleet will travel to Japan to intercept Dutch merchant ships heading for Japan for trade.

The ten frigates were carrying 2,000 soldiers and a large number of hundreds of artillery to the South China Ocean. Their mission was to establish a stronghold on Sumatra Island in the South China Ocean, and then rely on this stronghold to plunder the passing ships in the Strait of Malacca.

The reason why the First Fleet went to Japan was because they had to cooperate with the war against Japan. At the same time, the First Fleet rarely went out to operate recently, and the Dutch started trade with Japan.

Just as the First Fleet set off, the fleet sent by Zhao Yan to Sakhalin Island also returned to Longkou and brought tribute from the natives of Sakhalin Island.

There were very few Qing soldiers on Sakhalin Island, with only more than 200 people, and they were quickly wiped out. The fleet restored the "Nurgandus" on Sakhalin Island. From the natives who had newly joined the Ming Dynasty, they sent a batch of minks as tribute.

Sakhalin Island does not have much development value at present, but the island has a lot of natural gas and oil, so the development potential of post-Japan is very great.

The ships exploring Hokkaido also returned to Longkou shortly afterwards. They brought news that Hokkaido is currently controlled by the Hokkaido, but Japan has landed in Hokkaido. Although there are not many people, it has a certain scale.

The Hokkaido is an indigenous person in Hokkaido. His civilization is very backward and can be basically excluded from the threat. After opening a colony in Hokkaido, it is possible to capture the Hokkaido and become slaves.

Although Hokkaido's agriculture and animal husbandry have developed well, it has repetitions with the Northeast, so it is not that important. However, Hokkaido fishing ground is the world's largest fishing ground, and Zhao Yan must occupy it.

...In California, North America, California Governor Liu Yuan wrote a report overnight before the fleet returned to Qingdao. This was a report on Indian civilization.

Liu Yuan did not finish his report that night, so he delayed the return fleet for two days, at least he believed that the report of Indian civilization was very important.

As the governor of California, he needed to have long-term contact with Indians, and Liu Yuan also learned Indian language. However, what surprised Liu Yuan was that the language of the Indians was so similar to that of ancient Chinese.

If only some words are similar, they can be explained by coincidence. However, a large number of words are the same as ancient Chinese, and the Indians also believed in the legendary creatures such as "dragon", which forced Liu Yuan to pay more attention.

In the report, Liu Yuan inferred that the Indians are most likely a branch of Chinese civilization, but the origin of this branch is very mysterious and slightly different from the skin color of the Han people, so it needs to be further studied.

At the same time, it was suggested to Zhao Yan that Indians could be treated appropriately and even fully accepted. As long as they were accepted, the Indian nations could also accept the Chinese nation with the similarity of civilizations of the two nations. At the same time, this was a very quiet nation. They sat together and could even speak for hours without saying anything, and would not pose any threat to the colonies.

The fleet set off at the end of the ninth year of Chongzhen. This fleet had fifteen merchant ships, all of which Cao Li plundered in the Caribbean Sea during this period.

During the second half of the ninth year of Chongzhen, Cao Li was not bewitched by the Spanish to attack St. Johns. St. Johns was a very dangerous port, and Cao Li felt that he should try to be as stable as possible at present.

There is no point in attacking St. Johns at the same time, because even if they capture St. Johns, they do not have enough manpower to occupy it for a long time, just grab some fishing boats and catch some white slaves.

Why do you have to run so far to catch a white slave? And to attack such a dangerous port? It is better to go to the Caribbean to raid merchant ships than to have the energy.

After several months of robbery, the American fleet grabbed more than 20 merchant ships in the Caribbean Sea, and the reputation of pirates in the Far East gradually spread in Western countries.

However, the Spanish were instigating Kingsoft, the stronghold of the American fleet, to the Dutch, the British and the French, and revealed to these countries that this was not ordinary pirates, but the navy of the Far Eastern Empire of Light, not pirates holding privateer permits.

The rules for privateer licenses are based on the relationship between the two parties' interests. If either party violates the rules, they will be attacked by the other party, resulting in thankless results between both parties. At least when neither party is ready for war, they will not send navies to break the rules at will.

However, it is not important to the American fleet whether there is a privateer license, because even if they are pirate ships holding privateer licenses, the Dutch, British and French still have to retaliate. It is meaningless to know that they are the Ming Navy, because Western countries have no second way to retaliate. After all, Zhao Yan is currently in contact with these countries in maritime trade.

Cao Li, a group of pirates in the Far East, was indeed not popular because they attacked any merchant ships, strongholds, and even pirates of the Caribbean. When the pirates of the Caribbean saw the American fleet that came out to fight the autumn wind, they cursed and fled to the shallows.

However, as the number of pirate ships Cao Li plundered increased, Cao Li would generally send pirate ships with the same tonnage as pirate ships to pursue them.

In addition, Cao Li began to send people to explore the waters and terrain of the Caribbean Sea, but it was very easy to deal with the pirates of the Caribbean.

For those Caribbean pirates, Cao Li usually adopted a strategy of pleading to delay the inadequate staffing. However, since he received reinforcements from two thousand sailors, the American fleet had sufficient sailors.

Those white pirates usually work as handymen on the ship and act as cannon fodder for jumping gangs when plundering ships. This strategy greatly reduces the casualties of sailors.

Not all white pirates are willing to join, but the only fate is that they are caught on the farm and they usually surrender obediently.

After getting on the boat, they only do some handymen who do not affect their navigation, such as cleaning, and are also strictly supervised, and only send weapons when fighting.

There are also some white people who are very distributive. With the cooperation of these white people, the American fleet has become more familiar with the Caribbean Sea. In the short world, it is even more familiar with the Caribbean Sea than the pirates who have been living in the Caribbean for several years.

As Western Protestant countries, Britain, France and the Netherlands were communicating with each other after being instigated by the Spanish. Western countries already knew that this group of Far East pirates had a high-speed sailing ship and their artillery was very powerful, and they were an extremely difficult force to deal with.

The Dutch suffered several great losses. Not only did they suffer twice in the Far East, but they also suffered one great losses in Brazil, with the losses of warships very serious.

Fortunately, the Dutch have a rich family and a very developed shipbuilding industry, which will not take long to recover. However, the Dutch have to pay attention to this powerful opponent.

The Netherlands proposed to Britain and France to form a joint fleet, and Spain also released information that it was willing to open the Strait of Magellan for the joint fleet to pass.

If you are from the east coast to the west coast, the safe route is still to follow the Magellan Strait. The Death Strait (Drake Strait) below the Magellan Strait is a place with high winds and high waves, which is very prone to danger. Usually, some pirate ships are willing to run over to attack Spanish ports on the west coast.

Just after the fleet returned to Qingdao from Kingsoft, Liu Yuan sent two merchant ships to Panama City for trade. During this trade, the Spaniards revealed to the merchant ship that the Netherlands, Britain and France were preparing to form a joint fleet to attack Kingsoft on the west coast.

The Spanish instigated Protestant countries to take revenge on the American fleet, obviously wanting to see the result of both sides' losses, but they do not want the American fleet to be completely destroyed. After all, the existence of the American fleet gave the Spanish treasure ship a large security surname.

The Spanish most expected result was that the combined fleet of Protestant countries was wiped out, and the American fleet also suffered heavy losses, which allowed the rapid expansion of the American fleet to be curbed.

The expansion speed of the American fleet did make the Spaniards feel a sense of fear. To this increasingly strong neighbor, it was like hanging a sharp sword on his head. Once he turned against him, the sword would fall and see their heads...
