On December 11, 12th year of Chongzhen, I benefited the south and traveled very well.

On this day, the first batch of tens of thousands of Han immigrants who went to Southeast Asia took naval vessels and set off from Kaohsiung Port in Taiwan and headed straight to Luzon Island. The place they were going to was the Saggarau area in northern Luzon.

Since Luzon Island is wide and narrow in the north and south, driving straight from Taiwan to northern Luzon is much more convenient than going to Manila in the south first and then from Manila to northern Luzon.

Therefore, in order to save time, the fleet transporting immigrants no longer circulates around Manila City for redistribution. Instead, they directly travel from Kaohsiung to northern Luzon to transport refugees, and then arrange settlement from north to south, which is faster.

Among these immigrants, Gao Xiaosi and his family of five were sitting in a small cabin, squeezing a porthole, squeezing a silent follower of the ship southward.

In fact, Gao Xiaosi is not the boss, but after all the three brothers in his first days died, he became the eldest child in the family. Because his father died early, he could barely be regarded as the head of the family.

Gao Xiaosi's family is from Zhushan County, Huguang. Their hometown is located in the junction of Huguang and Sichuan. In theory, such a remote place should be a rare quiet place in troubled times. However, a large number of officials came here and fought with Zhang Xianzhong, the king of heaven, and a total of 100,000 other thieves. This remote place had no atmosphere of escaping the world, but instead became a terrible battlefield for fighting each other.

Gao Xiaosi's family had no choice but to hide in Zhushan County, rely on relatives and friends to avoid disasters. However, they did not expect that Zhushan County was not under the hands of bandits, but was instead attacked by Zu Kuan, the officer and soldier of the Liaodong Aid and Suppression Headquarters who were greedy for merit and violently. When the city was broken, Zhushan County instantly turned into a hell on earth.

After the Ming army forcibly entered the city, they killed the county magistrate and robbed money. The women were killed if they didn't follow them. They could be said to have done everything they wanted.

Gao Xiaosi's eldest sister Gao Xiaolan was taken by the Ming army in the city, and her condition was terrible. This fierce woman finally hit the wall and ended her tragic life.

After plundering the entire county town and setting it all on fire, these beastly Ming troops sold all tens of thousands of residents in the city to the troops under Li Xiao's command of the Western Camp.

In the chaotic times, human life was like grass. Gao Xiaosi's family originally thought they had left the wolf's nest and entered the tiger's den, but unexpectedly, after being sold to the Xiying Camp, it became the beginning of their rebirth.

Next, Gao Xiaosi's family and all the other refugees were taken to Shandong by the troops from the Western Camp, and all the way to Dengzhou.

What Gao Xiaosi and other people did not expect was that these troops under Li Xiao were different from the greedy and cruel Ming Junyuan, and were very polite to them.

Along the way, everyone was not worried about food and clothing, and they were sick and were given medical treatment. Therefore, the entire escort team of people basically died on the way, and they basically arrived in Dengzhou smoothly.

After arriving in Dengzhou, Gao Xiaosi's family was registered uniformly like other refugees, and then they drew lots.

The head of the family Gao Xiaosi personally drew lots and drew the lottery for temporarily resettlement in Taiwan.

Gao Xiaosi's relatives and family of four got the sign to settle in Sakhalin Island. From then on, the two families, one north and one south, were separated from each other, and there was no possibility of meeting again.

After the two families hugged their heads and cried for a while, they boarded the boat and left separately.

Although such family separation is very sad, nothing is more important than living in this chaotic world.

After all, the scars in the heart can be repaired by time, but the hunger in the stomach cannot be overcome for a day.

After the family came to Taiwan, because the population of Taiwan was nearly saturated at this time, there was no land to divide it.

Among the family, Gao Xiaosi and his younger brother Gao Xiaowu went to work in a brick factory outside Kaohsiung City, while their mother, wife and youngest sister went to a sugar processing factory to work as temporary workers to make a living.

The factory is very hard to do things, and it is also at the time of rapid development in Taiwan. Various factories often work overtime. The whole family is busy from morning to night, with almost no rest time, and is very tired.

However, even so, the family finally settled in Taiwan and could maintain food and clothing. Compared to when they were in Huguang, the family could only survive the struggle between the Ming army and the thieves. Gao Xiaosi's family is now in a stable and peaceful life.

However, compared with those immigrants who came early and were successfully assigned to the land, Gao Xiaosi's family was still quite disappointed.

As Gao Xiaosi, who has been digging food in the soil and is accustomed to dealing with the land, has a natural yearning and intimacy for the land. Their family is still extremely eager to have their own land, and can cultivate their own land like other farmers, and they have no desire for life.

However, at this time, the land in Taiwan had basically been allocated, and the remaining land was either too barren, or the Taitung area where the indigenous people were turbulent. As a shrewd Huguang native, Gao Xiaosi didn't want to go to either.

However, unexpectedly, last month, news came that the Tang army successfully conquered Luzon and was preparing to transfer a group of immigrants from Taiwan to Luzon in advance, settled in the local area, and reclaimed wasteland to farm.

Soon, the local civil affairs office also posted a notice encouraging temporary immigrants who had no land in Taiwan to settle in Luzon.

If they go to Luzon, they will also have land that can be cultivated by themselves, just like Taiwan’s early immigrants.

Gao Xiaosi, who received the news, was very happy and immediately went to the local civil affairs office to register. Then, after waiting for another seven or eight days, he received permission to settle in Luzon as the first batch of immigrants.

At this time, Gao Xiaosi, who was sitting on the side of the boat, felt very emotional.

It's not easy. Since the whole family left Huguang and headed south, they have been struggling and displaced all the way. Now, we can finally go to this Luzon land and own the land of our own.

The smart Gao Xiaosi had already planned it. Now his younger brother is old. When he arrives at the local area, he will immediately tell him about his marriage. In this way, the family will be divided into two families, and there will be a total of 20 acres of land for farming.

Ten days later, the fleet transporting refugees successfully arrived at the coast of the Sgegalao area.

When they got ashore, officials from the local Civil Affairs Department re-registered the immigrants from Taiwan, and then the officials from the Civil Affairs Department sent them to various parts of the Sgagra area to share the land and settle them.

Gao Xiaosi's family was assigned to a newly built village not far from Sgegalao City. There, the whole family got a brand new household registration card and household registration book, and finally got ten acres of land, and finally settled on their own land.

Next, what Ling family Gao Xiaosi was quite amused and laughed at was that an official from the Civil Affairs Department came to his house in person and took the initiative to talk to his younger brother Gao Xiaowu.

The target of the matchmaker was an native woman in another local indigenous village not far from their village.

It turned out that because this village resisted the rule of the Tang army, according to Li Xiao's rule, if there were slight resistance, the policy of slaughtering men and keeping women was tortured. All the men in this native village were killed, and only some native women survived by chance.

Because there were no men and these native villages with only women were living in difficult life, after local officials reported the situation to Li Xiao, Li Xiao decided to let immigrant Han men marry local indigenous women, so as to promote ethnic integration and the land of these villages can be fully developed and utilized.

Of course, there is another principle that follows such a mandatory marriage, that is, unmarried couples are unmarried, widowed and find widowed, so as to achieve a match between marriage.

Of course, if you compulsoryly marry these native women, the government will also provide compensation.

That is, every young Han male who marrys a native woman can receive a reward of two yuan.

In this way, under the temptation of policy in the first place and the temptation of these two gold coins, Gao Xiaowu finally found an unmarried native woman with a good appearance to get married, and then divided the land and land in the native village and officially settled down.

To be honest, Gao Xiaowu was very resistant to the government's compulsory ration of such an indigenous woman as he was.

Especially after seeing his wife's appearance, Gao Xiaowu felt extremely disappointed.

He thought to himself that compared with these Luzon natives, the local women in Huguang can almost be called heaven and earth, and it is almost a comparison between fairies and ugly monsters.

Alas, this makes people feel like they can get off the stick...

However, when his wife saw that she could find such a beautiful Chinese husband, she screamed so much that she even screamed, and the hatred of her relatives being killed was diluted.

In the end, on their wedding night, Gao Xiaowu was unable to become Liu Xiahui, who was in a state of turmoil on his hungry and intrigue. After finally adapting to his passionate wife and very unpleasant face, he finally completed his move to the room.

Afterwards, the indigenous wife screamed and was very excited, but Gao Xiaowu covered her face and cried bitterly, shed crystal tears.

What made Gao Xiaowu even crazy was that just a few days later, because there were not enough unmarried men, officials from the Civil Affairs Department forced him to give him an indigenous woman as his concubine.

Every night, facing the rotation of two native women who are like wolves and tigers, and often ask for it several times overnight, Gao Xiaowu was almost exhausted, and was so ashamed and angry.

Of course, it is also beneficial for him to do this.

That is, these two indigenous women who were extremely satisfied basically took all the farm work in the fields, so that they would not have the chance to be tired.

When watching his two wives and concubines working in the fields every day, Gao Xiaowu, who was sitting upside down and humming the sour song of Huguang, felt that his hard work every night was very valuable.

In the following day, batches of immigrants arrived, and all parts of Luzon began to be settled by immigrants one after another, becoming permanent residents here.

Looking back at the real history, when the Han people immigrated to Southeast Asia, they were filled with blood, tears and tragedy.

Now, under the organization of Li Xiao, a large number of Han immigrants went to Luzon to develop and settle down. Such a new style of traveling to Southeast Asia exists like pastoral songs.

Pieces of fertile wasteland were developed, and the new Han immigrants, like magic, opened up pieces of wasteland covered with weeds and trees into neat and fertile farmland.

These lands, which were originally filled with miasma, snakes, ants, mosquitoes, were finally transformed into pastoral villages similar to Taiwan and full of southern style by hard-working Han people.

The Chinese nation is the most enduring nation in the world and the most attached nation in the world. They work hard to cultivate their own land, and hope that this extremely fertile southern country land can give them the most sincere harvest.

The Emperor and the Queen of Heaven are the people, and we are all the people.

In this world where Li Xiao traveled through, the Chinese Han people finally settled forever on this hot land of the southern country, and then reproduced and lived, with endless descendants.

After all parts of Luzon began to get on track, Li Xiao seized the time and arranged his next plan to attack and seize various islands in the central Philippines.

Li Xiao appointed Luo Zheng, deputy mayor of Pingnan Town, as the chief general, and Er Bilun, deputy battalion commander of Pingnan Town, as the deputy general, and led the troops of Pingnan Town, as the army to wipe out various indigenous tribes on the central Philippine archipelago.

"Luo Zheng, Ebilun, look, on this map drawn by the Spaniards, the archipelago in the central Philippines mainly include Samar, Masbat Island, Banne Island, Negros Island, Catandunez Island, Mindulo Island, Semilala Island and other islands. I ask you to adopt the method of our army to capture the native villages on Luzon Island and conquer all the natives on each island." Li Xiao pointed to the map and ordered the two in a deep voice.

"Sir, don't worry, we know your policies. Anyway, there are three points. If the natives take the initiative to surrender, they will be able to save some of their lives and make them take part of their food as a lie. If the natives resist but the degree of resistance is slight, they will slaughter the men and keep the women to serve as a warning. If they all resist in the village, our army will no longer show mercy and kill them all." Luo Zheng quickly answered.

Li Xiao nodded: "Very good, that's it. Luo Zheng and E Bilun, to ensure your smooth expedition, I will pull out two hundred ships to support you. All the firearms troops will be handed over to you for dispatching and use. I will give you up to half a year to conquer all the islands in the central Philippines."

Luo Zheng and E Bilun bowed their fists together: "Please rest assured Lord Li, we will do our best to ensure that we complete the tasks assigned by Lord."

The next day, Luo Zheng and E Bilun commanded the entire Bang Yi of Pingnan Town, as well as all the firearm troops, and took naval ships to set out from Manila Port.

Li Xiao and a group of officials went out to see him off in Manila until he watched them disappear at the end of the sea in the south, and then turned back to Manila City.

According to Li Xiao's plan, if the troops of the B camp of Pingnan Town successfully conquered the central Philippines archipelago, then they would start to clean up the last two remaining countries in the Philippines.

These two countries are Sulu on the Island of South Tagalog and Makindanu on Mindanao.

Only by sweeping these two countries and the entire Philippines will all become the ruling territory of the Tang army. The Tang army can continue to lead the army south to conquer those lands and peoples that China has never conquered for five thousand years...
