"Lao Lin, what's going on with this Ming Dynasty Royal Construction Team?"

An old man with gray hair, with a few and a half-year-old boys, squatted in the corner of the slums that were about to be demolished. He held a dry cigarette in his hand, took a sip of dry cigarettes, and asked an old boy beside him.

"This... I don't know much about it, but it should be about working for the royal family and exchanging labor for money, grain and residence."

This old Tongsheng is an old Tongsheng on the coast of Fujian. Because his family has fallen into decline, he has to cross the ocean and bring his family to Dayuan Island to open up land.

Unexpectedly, my family had just settled down. On this day, the city built by Westerners had changed its flag to the top of the city.

No! It was the Western city that was captured by the Ming Dynasty.

Those Westerners were either killed or arrested, and all the Westerners' property was confiscated by the army of the Ming Dynasty.

However, not only were the Westerners and guilty indigenous people in these two cities killed or organized into labor reform teams, but all the Han people in Tainan were also organized to form a royal construction brigade.

This Tainan, because Dayuan Island has just been named Taiwan by His Majesty the Emperor, means southern Taiwan.

"Old Li, your family of seven is not the right time now?"

Lao Tongsheng Lao Lin comforted his old friends who were a little nervous, "These soldiers said that they joined the Royal Construction Brigade, and they would have three meals a day and still have their wages."

"At the near future, I will live in a large house built by the imperial court in advance. I only need to work for about five years and earn money to buy the big house I live in."

"And, joining the Royal Construction Brigade is mandatory, not just you don't want to join."

"Anyway, the imperial court has three meals a day, what are you afraid of?"...

Early in the morning, the slums in the south of Relanzha were very lively. Tens of thousands of people from the Ming Dynasty surrounded a group of soldiers and civil affairs officials and listened carefully to the explanations of these people.

To the north of Jelancha is the main city, where the Dutch colonists and soldiers live.

The Han and Gaoshan people who came to Taiwan to reclaim land had lived in the southern district before.

The terrain here is small, with 40,000 or 50,000 people crowding less than two square kilometers. Simple wooden houses are next to each other, and the streets are filled with sewage, which is full of stench.

A storm that lasted for three days had just passed, and the city was full of chaos.

Fortunately, Zhu Youxiao had already made everyone ready, and no losses were suffered from the safety of the ships or personnel of the large fleet.

As soon as the storm ended, Zhu Youxiao issued an order and the advancement of the two basic national policies immediately began.

The first thing the soldiers of the group of soldiers should do is to promote the welfare and benefits of the Royal Construction Brigade and the work that everyone needs to do to these organized Han people.

"Friends, our Majesty said that from today on, Taiwan will be the land of our Ming Dynasty! By the way, this Dayuan Island will be renamed Taiwan in the future."

"Everyone came to Taiwan to make a living in the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty. Our new Ming Dynasty is different from the previous court's practices. This is exactly what it is..."

After a day of publicity, the large-scale construction and large-scale production of "work-for-relief" began immediately.

The first place that needs to be cleaned and renovated is two cities and docks built by Westerners, which is the top priority that must be done.

With so many ships in the Royal Navy, two major ports must be docked.

The soldiers couldn't help but make choices. Half voluntarily and half forced, the people who had never covered their bodies and had no food to eat naturally participated without any suspense.

Of course, the hardest and most tiring job is of course done by captured Westerners, which is atonement for their previous actions, or the kind that has been working hard until death.

However, even if this place is occupied, it is not so safe.

On Taiwan Island, there are too many natives, all of whom are not very friendly to the Han people.

In order to make it happen once and for all, Zhu Youzhai ordered a team of thousands of people to be divided, and under the leadership of a famous general and officer, he scattered all over the place.

The soldiers began to capture all the indigenous tribes in Tainan, and demolished all their villages and brought back everyone and supplies!

Our side has well-equipped and smart and powerful generals charged forward, so the soldiers of the Royal Navy East China Sea Fleet are naturally easy to capture.

Almost every day, a large number of indigenous people were escorted back by soldiers, and were immediately ordered by Zhong Chuxiang and Wu Xilin to be incorporated into the labor reform brigade. While carrying out labor reform, they wiped off their ambitions.

However, what I didn’t expect was that with the lack of food and clothing, these indigenous people were extremely enthusiastic about their labor.

More than ten days later, with the participation of hundreds of thousands of indigenous people, super official roads extended to the distance at a speed visible to the naked eye every day. Next to the large official road, thousands of acres of ecological farms rose from the ground.

After tens of thousands of indigenous families with particularly good performance, they all got new houses and moved in. They were so excited that they screamed and their enthusiasm was more than doubled.

At this time, in Tainan, there were no more natives in the Ming Dynasty who treated the Ming Dynasty as enemies or beasts, and they treated the soldiers as living Bodhisattvas!

...

"Is this the battleship "Hector" the main battleship in the Dutch Navy? It's OK."

Zhu Youxiao came to a large warship seized by the Royal East China Sea Fleet and looked at the huge warship with a displacement of more than 1,000 tons, and to be honest.

The main reason is that this Western warship uses too good wood. After it is dismantled by shipmasters of the Ming Empire, it can be used to create some practical things.

Today's Westerners occupy most of the world's marine areas and don't get too many good woods from a century-old age.

This is temporarily unmatched by the Ming Empire.

Zhu Youxiao’s carpenter work requires this rare wood to create some fine products in order to quickly improve his carpenter experience.

Therefore, most of the great warships acquired by Westerners who were captured and obtained by the Westerners, the good timbers removed from the century-old were ordered by Zhu Youxiao and transported back to the capital for their own special use.

Moreover, the craftsmen of the Ming Empire were able to obtain a lot of advanced shipbuilding concepts and technologies in the process of dismantling these Western ships.

However, at most, at the beginning of next year, after the steam engine manufacturing has been completely stabilized, the shipyard of the Empire Empire will start to build ironclad ships.

Some of the master craftsmen of the Royal Academy of Sciences have begun to enter various shipyards, leading the craftsmen to build new docks, and began to carry out various experiments and preparations for the development of ironclad ships.

After a large steam engine is used, various components of the ironclad ship can be pressed out using abrasive tools.

Moreover, under Zhu Youxiao's suggestion, oxygen welding was also studied by some masters of the Royal Academy of Sciences.

This solved some welding problems of ironclad ships, and the manufacturing of ironclad ships basically solved the biggest problem.

Others such as glass manufacturing, screw manufacturing, standard tool manufacturing, etc. were also invented by masters who had burst into large amounts of inspiration.

At that time, the ironclad ship equipped with steam engines will be manufactured and there will be no difficulties.

At most two years later, after the ironclad ship was built, such warships would have no weaknesses when they were sailing against the wind.

The fleet of the Ming Empire can truly sail far-sea, and future expansion actions will undoubtedly be much faster.

"Well, it seems that to speed up the pace of expansion, we must kill all the industrial germination trends of other countries to avoid endless troubles."

Standing on the deck of this Western-class second-class battleship and pondering for a while, Zhu Youxiao made up his mind.

"Come on, let's go to the sea and try this Western warship to see what it feels and differences."

Zhu Youxiao called some of the ship members on a leopard cruiser and boarded the bridge of the Hector.

With his command, the sailors quickly raised the sails, and two of the three anchors were pulled up. The hull slowly left the dock, and an anchor left in the water slowly swung under the storm.

"Start up and set off!"

The sailors put away the last big iron anchor and guided the "Hector" and several warships came out one after another and headed straight out of the harbor.

It took everyone a full hour to test it before returning to the expanded port. Everyone was still unsatisfied and gained a lot.

"Your Majesty, although this Western warship is not as fast as our leopard cruiser, its endurance and simplicity of operation are not behind our warships. We can ask our shipmasters to learn about it."

"Yes, Your Majesty, some aspects of this kind of Western warship are worth our reference."

After disembarking the ship, two royal naval generals expressed their thoughts to His Majesty the Emperor.

Zhu Youxiao nodded and immediately ordered the generals to be summoned to continue to start his actions against the enemy.
Chapter completed!
