Chapter 871
A new batch of reinforcements for the Tianzhu Expeditionary Army is already being formed.The number of this group of people is not large, because of the long distance between the two sides and the inconvenient logistics supplies, it is doomed that the war between Lu Qi and Zhu Luo will be decided by Nanyang rather than the Central Plains.

It is impossible for Lu Qian to recruit civilian merchant ships to form a huge transport fleet for a big battle against Zhu Luo, and continuously send domestic military supplies to the battlefield.That will cause chaos in China's current maritime trade order, which will cause serious setbacks in commercial interests.

Therefore, the number of support troops is not large, but more of a symbolic meaning.Li Bao, the head of the squadron, is a newcomer who has emerged in the navy in recent years and is also from Qilu.

In this battle, the main force of the navy in the war against the Cholas was the Western Navy and the Nanyang Navy, and the main force of the army was the various feudal states in Nanyang.

The Ministry of War has already set up a material reserve in Nanyang, and even set up a military factory in the Arc Islands. Sulfur and saltpeter are all purified and sent there, including barrels of granulated powder.

Therefore, it is said to be a military factory, but in fact it is lame. It is more of a processing factory for supplied materials.

The casting of lead bullets and shells and the production of hand grenades are their missions.

As for whether the feudal states in Nanyang are willing to fight for Lu Qi, the answer is absolutely yes.One is because the time is still short, and the rulers of each feudal country are still the first generation. They are either loyal to Emperor Lu or fearful, so they cannot be disobedient; Support is indispensable.

The latter made it impossible for the Nanyang feudal states to give up, both in terms of manpower and material.

How can Emperor Lu, who has adopted a scoring system in the Qi army, let go of overseas feudal states lightly?How much effort will be rewarded, rights and responsibilities coexist, has this always been the idea that Emperor Lu insisted on?

Regardless of whether it is a principality, a marquis, an uncle, or a lower-level existence, each level has a basic score, and there is a list of scores.Then those who are divided into categories will be compared with each other and get the treatment they deserve.In this way, the transparency is greatly increased. If you get more, you contribute more, and if you get less, you contribute less, which saves conflicts between each other.

In the Central Plains, income surveys are also being conducted every year, and the income of "poor households" is increasing year by year, from the initial debts to the later low-income groups.Taking Qilu as an example, for a period of time, families with a per capita annual income of less than 50 yuan were all classified as poor households, which means that they were all likely to be immigrated to the frontier, or even "distributed" overseas.

At that time, the Immigration Bureau had a basic amount every year.Then it is apportioned by the provinces, the provinces are distributed to the state capital, the state capital then puts pressure on the county, and the county distributes it to the township.One level suppresses one level, causing people to talk about it for no reason.

Up to now, Lu Qichao's immigration bureau is still a place where people poke the spine when it is mentioned, very similar to that of the rabbit.Wicked with smoke.

Emperor Lu didn't even know about this matter at first, because this kind of matter was a government matter of Qilu Province, and it would not be sent to him after it was reported to the cabinet.Even though half of the provinces in the Central Plains began to be influenced by Lu Qi and introduced such regulations, Emperor Lu was still unaware of it.It was not until two years later that the incident of infant drowning broke out again in Qilu. The reason was simple: to reduce the family size so as to keep the per capita income from falling below the red line of 50 yuan.

After the incident broke out, Emperor Lu was furious, and everyone in the Qilu officialdom was shocked.

Even Li Guang was restrained.Because Zhang Xiaochun was able to easily take over as governor of Qilu over Guo Yong because of his influence.Now it is time to hold him accountable, and Li Guang is following suit.

He could have entered the cabinet, but he was directly eliminated from the popular candidates of the Minister of the Household Department. After serving as the governor of Java for one term, he returned to the Central Plains and became the governor of Liaodong.Life has been delayed!
And Zhang Xiaochun himself is still nesting in Japan.

As time goes by, the policy is improved step by step.What hasn’t changed is Emperor Lu’s desire to “immigrate to the real border”.

Under the coercion of the general environment, the people of the Central Plains were also forced to develop a more industrious habit.There are fewer and fewer people in Maodong. In order to increase family income and not be taken by poor households, let alone small townsfolk, even rural farmers are using their slack time to go out to do part-time jobs.

The labor market in Central China has alleviated a lot of pressure.

But the limitations of this labor force are still too great, at least the Construction Department directly under the Ministry of Industry is short of labor force.

You know, not counting the traditional Han areas, the northeast, northwest, and southwest are all short of people.It's just an official road building, so I don't know how many hairs the nine-tailed turtle has lost.

Closer to home, the feudal kingdoms of Nanyang have a stable amount of 'immigration' acceptable every year, and they can also use the model of 'mortgage loans' to get money, food, materials, soldiers, armor and real money from Lu Qi. Faced with such a greeting from the suzerain , no feudal country can resist.

A combined army of 2 men has gathered at the westernmost tip of the Malay Peninsula.

The leader of the army was none other than Wang Yin, Shangshu of the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty.

Among the Southeast Asian countries, the current political structure is one superpower and many powers.Fang Lajun is a well-deserved leader. Its country was established the earliest and its strength is best preserved.Unlike Wang Qing and Zhong Xiangjun, there was an internal fight in Dali, and the two forces almost got out of their wits, causing Emperor Lu to be furious, and he took Dali as his own logically, but Wang Qing and Zhong Xiang were killed. It was played in Burma and Thailand in later generations.

That big battle not only ruined the plot of the two on the treasure land of Dali, but also caused the losses of both sides. The leaders of the conflict, Wang Qingjun's Li Xuan and Du Po, and Wang Qingjun's Yang Yao and Yang Qin were all imprisoned by Emperor Lu.

Wang Qing and Zhong Xiang hated them deeply. Although they wished to stab each other to death with a knife, did they treat Yidu as nothing if they fought blatantly?

The two had a good word and didn't say it for them.So much so that Li Xuan and the others were imprisoned for several years before they were freed.A few people could not and did not want to serve Wang Qingzhong anymore, so they went their separate ways, either entering the Eight Banners, or entering the Nanyang Navy.

No one could guess the truth inside, and thought it was Wang Qing and Zhong Xiang who were unlucky.

The two suffered a lot of damage to their strength, and wasted a lot of time, financial resources and energy. When Wen Huanzhang, Chai Jin, Li Jun and others also divided Nanyang, they evened out Bagan and the women. kingdom.

The day of the founding of the country was very slow, and its own strength suffered a lot. Naturally, the national strength was not as good as that of the Duke of Ming.But it can’t be considered weak!
This Nanyang is now so divided.Lu Qi is naturally superior and has completely surpassed their level. He only said that among the feudal states in Nanyang, the Duke of Ming is the strongest, and the coalition forces this time will be dominated by the Duke of Ming.

Their goal is Ceylon, which is Sri Lanka in later generations.

In this war with Zhu Luo, Emperor Lu's goal is very clear. One is to occupy three or two ports on the mainland of Tianzhu, as a breakthrough for China to set foot on Tianzhu.

The second is to seize Ceylon and turn this place into a seesaw and bridgehead for China to manage the Tianzhu region.

The local Sinhalese will become Lu Qi's right-hand man in controlling Ceylon, because at the moment they are being ruled by the Tamils.The latter is the main ethnic group of the Chola Kingdom, and Ceylon was also conquered by the Chola Kingdom in the last hundred years.

A small number of Tamils ​​ruled the majority of the Sinhalese as foreigners. They believed in Brahmans and severely cracked down on Buddhism. Many temples were destroyed and monks were forced to convert.Ceylon Buddhism, which once flourished for thousands of years, has vanished into thin air today.

Whether it is ethnic grievances or fierce conflicts of belief, the Sinhalese will become Lu Qi's best helpers.
