Enter the Tang Dynasty with space

Chapter 204 Population Crisis
The personal guards sent out scouts to search the situation within hundreds of miles of the Ryukyu Islands. In fact, Yang Zheng already knew the situation of the Ryukyu Islands. There was no armed force on the entire island. On the Ryukyu Islands, "dragons have no leader". The current Ryukyu Islands are not considered a country at all, but there are some indigenous people living on the island.

But it's good to let the guards arrange it now, such a desolate place must be tidied up before people can live in it.

Three hours later, Haneda Fuku's warship finally delivered the Tang soldiers to the Ryukyu Islands safely. Everyone was speechless when they stepped onto the desolate island.But thinking of the changes in the Diaoyu Islands, the soldiers were still full of confidence in Yang Zheng.

"Pass down the order and set up camp on the spot!" Yang Zheng gave the order, and all the soldiers immediately started to move. The Ryukyu Islands are not comparable to the Diaoyu Islands. There are more than 50 islands in size and a total area of ​​more than 3000 square kilometers. It's active.

Because the last massacre by the Sui army caused a huge shock to the local aborigines, when the Tang army set foot on the land of the Ryukyu Islands, many aborigines hid, and the aborigines obviously regarded the Tang army as the Sui army.It's no wonder that they are all Chinese troops, and the natives probably don't know that the land of the Central Plains has changed a long time ago, so Tang Jun took a big scapegoat and was regarded as a murderer.

That night, Tang Jun slept soundly and soundly. After all, he was still a little tired after the tossing at sea.

Yang Zheng observed the situation in Asuka through the space. Su Wo Jiaozi was attacking the imperial city as usual, but the Fusang Royal Army could not hold on, and the two sides were still in a stalemate.It's just that Su Wojiaozi has more food and grass, and in Asuka Jinghuang City, it is no longer possible to obtain food and grass from the outside world.But it might not be easy for Su Wojiaozi to win the imperial city, so Yang Zheng decided to build the Ryukyu Islands first.

The next day, the Tang army split up and quickly sorted out the Ryukyu Islands. Although the Ryukyu Islands are desolate, they still have tens of thousands of people. Some large tribes also have their own troops, such as the Tiansun Yibu and the Lishi Tribe The three tribes of Gao and Gao have an army of thousands of people.

But the sequelae brought by the Sui army were too strong. When these tribes saw the more powerful Tang army coming to the island, they all felt that disaster was imminent. Within a few days, the leaders of the three tribes came out in person to meet Yang Zheng.

Perhaps drawing lessons from the last time the Sui army went to the island, the three leaders actually brought translators. These translators were all Han Chinese, and they all fled to the Ryukyu Islands to escape the war.

Yang Zheng laughed and said, "In this case, then this king will save a lot of trouble. Tell them, this king is Yang Zheng, Generalissimo of the Great Tang Army and Horses!"

The translators hurriedly translated Yang Zheng's words, and the three leaders couldn't help being surprised. It turned out that it was not the Sui army that came, but another army.So they also asked Yang Zheng to translate their own words. It turned out that the three were named Tiansun Anan, Li Wenwen and Gao Long, and they were all worried that Tang Jun would kill and came to intercede.

Yang Zheng heard the words and said: "Don't worry, the three leaders. The Tang Dynasty is a state of benevolence and righteousness, and will not do such a thing. But this king also wants to tell you clearly that now that the Tang army has occupied the Ryukyu Islands, this place will become the Great Tang Army." Tang’s territory, if the three leaders are willing to accept the leadership of Datang, they must abide by the laws of Datang and become a person of Tang. If not, I can let you go. , this king will be shot to death!"

Yang Zheng didn't want to be long-winded, let these natives govern this place, see what it looks like now, or come by yourself, and go down drastically, and soon Ryukyu will become an oasis on the sea, a paradise on earth.

But Yang Zheng didn't expect that when the three chiefs heard the translation, they were all ecstatic, and they fell to the ground and kowtowed to Yang Zheng!

Seeing Yang Zheng's strange expression, an interpreter named Zhu San said: "His Royal Highness, the Ryukyu Island is always attacked by pirates, which is why it is so dilapidated. The army of the Tang Dynasty is extremely powerful, so they have to Knowing that Datang intends to rule the Ryukyu Islands, everyone is happy, and hopes to live a good life under the blessing of Datang in the future, so don't worry, His Highness King Sai, they are all sincerely relying on Datang!"

Only then did Yang Zheng feel relieved. Are there so many pirates in this era?Since I came to Datang, I haven't been out at sea, and I haven't paid much attention to the situation at sea. I didn't expect the Ryukyu Islands to be in this situation. It seems that the geographical location is very good, and the attacks and disturbances are getting more and more.Well, since you are all willing to accept Datang's protection, then I will do as you wish and build Ryukyu into a bomb that no one dares to touch!

"Since the three of you are willing to accept the rule of Datang, that's great. You go back first. The king will soon send people to form Datang Ryukyu Province. Then Ryukyu will undergo earth-shaking changes. Yours Good days are not far away!"

Yang Zheng accepted the Ryukyu Islands unceremoniously, and the three leaders all showed joy when they heard Yang Zheng's words. Obviously, they had learned about the strength and wealth of the Central Plains nation through contact with the Central Plains Han people. I can learn something about the people of the Central Plains, and let my tribe live a good life.

The three leaders were sent away, but Yang Zheng left behind three translators: Zhu San, Zhang Er and Zhao Da, and said: "Since you are all survivors of the Central Plains, there is no need to say more about the powerful king of the Tang Dynasty. I am familiar with the situation of the Ryukyu Islands, so this king appointed you as the senior advisors of the Ryukyu Province of the Tang Dynasty, do you have any opinions?"

When the three of them heard this, they were overjoyed. Although they didn't know what the consultant was for, they must be officials, so the three hurriedly agreed: "Yes, the villain is willing! Thank you King Sai for your kindness!"

"Hehe, don't be too happy for the three of you. The mission of this consultant is still heavy. You will be the link between Datang and the local aborigines. You must publicize Datang's policies and laws in place, and at the same time strengthen The dissemination of Tang culture allows all Ryukyu people to learn Chinese, and then truly regard themselves as a Tang person and make their own contribution to the development of Ryukyu. How about it? Can you do it?" Yang Zheng looked at the three people He was overjoyed, and he also put forward his own opinions in a timely manner. It is not just an official addiction to invite the three of you to be consultants. If you have the ability and do a good job, there will be no problem with being promoted to the rank in the future. If you don’t do well, you can only dismiss the class .

"Don't worry, King Sai, the villains have dealt with the Ryukyu people for many years, and they know their living customs and behaviors well. They will definitely bring the advanced civilization of our Tang Dynasty to them. Invasion requires a long-term garrison!" Zhu San saw that he was an eloquent person, and he also felt that he was definitely qualified for the role of advisor.

Zhang Er and Zhao Da also nodded and expressed their willingness to accept the challenge and contribute to Datang.

"Okay, this king likes people like you, work hard, and I will send a large number of Tang people from other places to settle in Ryukyu. You must let the Ryukyu natives and our Tang people communicate well and build a beautiful homeland together. Well done, I will reward you very much!" Yang Zheng patted the shoulders of the three of them one by one to encourage them, and the three of them felt flattered, and they all felt that they had transformed from a survivor of the Central Plains into the spokesperson of Datang in Ryukyu. Duty and honor.

Having settled the three spokespersons of the Tang Dynasty, Yang Zheng also felt relieved. Now that human resources are tight, it is definitely a good thing for these local aborigines to settle down and live according to the rhythm of the Tang Dynasty.With the addition of immigrants, the color of the Tang Dynasty will also be heavily painted on this island, and Ryukyu is destined to become the overseas treasure of the Tang Dynasty.

Taking advantage of the 10 troops here, Yang Zheng continued to carry out the large-scale construction of Ryukyu. The land here is wide, and the construction is faster. The materials in the space can be sent to the island at one time.

Ten days later, Ryukyu changed drastically. A large number of Tang-style buildings stood on the Ryukyu Islands. The land was also planned by everyone, and various crops, vegetables and fruits that Yang Zheng took out from the space were planted. , At the same time, many artificial rivers were built on the island, which were filled with space spring water, and the original desolation and dilapidation were replaced by oases in an instant.

After Zhu Sansan’s communication, the aborigines happily moved into high-rise buildings, and at the same time got a wide land. Looking at the green emerging from the land, the aborigines were all happy and crazy. ah.

After the aborigines settled down, the population statistics were soon reported. There are more than 5 aborigines in the Ryukyu Islands, but the ratio of male to female is seriously out of balance, as high as 1:5!It seems that the invasion of the pirates caused serious losses to the Ryukyu population, and many men were killed in battle.

This made Yang Zheng, who was originally relatively optimistic, also have a headache. These losses were all young and strong men, which played an important role in population reproduction, but now it seems that it is difficult to realize the idea of ​​relying on the local aborigines to rapidly reproduce the population. Immigrants, have to immigrate.

The men in the space have been almost moved by Yang Zheng, and now the men's load is also heavy. Many men are women who are accompanied by ten, hundreds or even thousands of women.

It seems that it is time to unlock those prisoners of war, especially those captives of the big cannibals. They have performed quite well in recent years, and the genes of the big cannibals are also good. If they intermarry with these natives, they should have good offspring.

Yang Zheng then came to Siberia through space. There are still nearly 2 Dashi captives who are still supporting local construction. These captives are used to this kind of life. In fact, Yang Zheng did not abuse them in life, and they ate well. , It's just a waste of work.Therefore, the bodies of these captives turned out to be very strong, which seemed to be a step further than before.

It was rare for Zhang Zhihu and He Zongxian to meet Yang Zheng. This time they met, and they immediately took Yang Zheng to drink and eat.

Yang Zheng smiled and said: "You really didn't pick the right time, I really don't have time to accompany you, now I've reached Ryukyu Island, where the territory is quite wide, with thousands of square kilometers, and the geographical location is also very important. I also plan to build Ryukyu as an important base of the Tang Dynasty. It’s a pity that the population is too small, and there are only old and weak women and children, so I have no choice but to pick some prisoners to settle there.”

Zhang Zhihu said with a smile: "Yonggui, you are really good, you even hit the sea, okay, this time my brother supports you, you take all those prisoners of the big food, the population of Siberia has risen now, there is no need for them Work again."

"Well, that's good. These captives have been reformed for so long, and they should be reformed. Bringing the 2 people over will solve the problem immediately, and then slowly move some Tang people there. In the place of Ryukyu, Datang is considered to be standing. Followed." Yang Zheng nodded in satisfaction, this second brother-in-law has done a good job in Siberia, agriculture, commerce and industry are all advancing at the same time, the population is developing healthily, and the momentum is quite good.

Yang Zheng then came to the construction site where the Dashi prisoners were working. They were building a road.

Yang Zheng called Tang Jun, the overseer, to gather them together, and then announced loudly: "All Dashi brothers, you are free now!"

The big cannibals were all stunned when they first heard it, and each question popped up in their hearts: Is this freedom?really free?

Originally, they thought that they might just be hard workers for the rest of their lives, but they didn't expect that Yang Zheng would suddenly announce that they were pardoned as captives.
The prisoners of Dashi cheered, all of them jumped up and down, and some knelt down to thank Yang Zheng for his great kindness, crying so much that their noses were sticky.

When they had finished cheering, Yang Zheng motioned for everyone to be quiet, and then said: "Everyone, I have a suggestion: I just built an island with a small population, which is very suitable for you to live in. I have already built houses, Luqiao, the land has been reclaimed and the artificial river has been built. If you are willing to go there, you will be able to enjoy all of this immediately and become a real Tang! How about it? Think about it. Yes, you can go wherever you want, but don’t go back to Dashi, I heard that your caliph hates captured Dashiren the most, and you will definitely be arrested if you go back, and it will be too late for you to regret it!”

Yang Zheng said this, and the captives in Dashi thought hard. In Dashi, it was exactly as Yang Zheng said. The captives had a very miserable end after they returned. They were either beheaded or forced to do coolies. Only then did they escape from the coolies and were forced to do hard work. No one is willing to impose food rulers on themselves.

Therefore, within a few minutes, someone responded loudly: "His Royal Highness Sai, the villain is willing to follow His Highness King Sai and go to settle down with pirates!"

"I would too!"

"I am willing, I am so willing! King Sai is benevolent, the villain is grateful!"

"Follow King Sai, you must have a good life!"

The 2 captives of Dashi have now seen their future. Although they are prisoners, they still eat well, sleep well, and are in good health. It seems that King Sai has a good heart, so the captives They all strengthened their determination to follow Yang Zheng.

"Very well, you have made the most correct decision this time. This island is called the Ryukyu Islands, and it will be your homeland in the future. But what I have said before is ugly. Now that you have gone, you are a Tang Dynasty. You must abide by it." According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, you can coexist peacefully with the local aborigines. As for your family and marriage, it is up to you to solve it yourself. Haha, if you are capable, ask for three wives and four concubines. , if you are single, I will be the king." Yang Zheng confessed, and the Dashi prisoners all laughed, and each Dashiren felt a little more fond of Yang Zheng's approachability. .

Yang Zheng said again: "But you don't have to worry, the king will send you a group of women soon, haha, then you will have to give birth to the king hard, the territory of the Tang Dynasty is boundless, and when the time comes As a Tang native, everyone will feel honored and will contribute their strength to the great Tang, so do your best! Get ready, this king will take you out!"

The Dashi captives were still thinking about their own abacus in their hearts, but they were urged by Yang Zheng. Amidst bursts of exclamations, they had already landed on the Ryukyu Islands!
