Life in Film and Television: Starting from the Jinshui Bridge

Chapter 301 Great Development of Two Islands

After hearing Liu Meng's words, Shang, Kong, and Geng also laughed.

Seeing that Liu Meng still called them the elder brothers of the three, they no longer worried that Liu Meng would deal with the three of them in the days to come.

Next, Liu Meng began to arrange the follow-up work for the three of them, starting with spring plowing!
With so many refugee laborers, as long as there are enough farm tools, it will not be a problem at all.

Liu Meng also plans to plant rice, corn, and wheat in March;
Then there are crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes;

As for the essential vegetables, of course they will be grown according to the season.

Then draw out manpower to open up enough salt farms around Phi Island, and sell them in exchange for supplies and food.

If you want to arm Pidao, you must naturally have metal ore, sulfur and saltpeter, and wood for building warships.

Yes, with Shang Kexi, a general who is good at naval warfare, Liu Meng will naturally take the lead in developing the navy, so that he can go to sea to trade and collect more supplies;

Second, after the navy has combat power, foreigners such as Portugal in Ryukyu and the outer seas will also be dealt with.

In Liu Meng's vision, Huaxia should control its maritime sovereignty at this time and become a powerful country on this planet.

Of course, to realize this wish, a strong army is essential.

The increase of troops is naturally on the agenda. After Liu Meng went out to rescue more than 1 refugees, Liu Meng decided to expand the number of soldiers on Shicheng Island.

Of course, the number of refugees on Shicheng Island alone is far from enough, and the remaining soldiers will naturally have to take young and strong men from Phi Island to supplement the 4;

Phi Dao is still gratifying for the three troops, and they are no longer expanding the total number of [-] soldiers.

In this way, Liu Meng has an army of 10 people. Under the training of Liu Meng combined with modern troops, it is believed that these [-] people are the only ones.

When Li Zicheng's peasant army wiped out the Ming regime and fought against Houjin, Liu Meng could send troops to reap the benefits of the fisherman, and wipe out the Houjin regime and Li Zicheng's anti-thief team in one fell swoop.

There are still more than ten years of development time, Liu Meng is not in a hurry.

Develop productivity step by step, train the land and sea armies, and lay a solid foundation for future conquests in the world.

At this time, in the Chongzhen Dynasty, although the Tartars were not beaten under the capital, the peasant uprising broke out inevitably.

After Baishui Wang Er, Wang Jiayin, Wang Daliang, Gao Yingxiang and Wang Zuogui also raised troops to respond.

Naturally, Liu Meng didn't want to participate in these matters, but just developed silently.

The lively spring plowing ended. To Liu Meng’s surprise, the system did not recognize these lands as belonging to Liu Meng, and did not provide Liu Meng with upgrade experience. After Liu Meng couldn’t figure it out, he gave up and continued to develop the two islands .

In addition to the manpower for the development of Yantian, Liu Meng selected craftsmen from among the refugees.

On the two islands, blacksmith workshops were established, and according to the blast furnace provided by Liu Meng, real fine steel was smelted to cast fine steel weapons and armor, farm tools and other tools;

Build new cement workshops and brick kilns to fire relatively simple cement and bricks, build docks, docks, military camps, private houses, and pave roads;
With Liu Meng, who came from later generations, controlling the general direction, the entire Dongjiang Town is really changing every month when it is at full speed.

The training of the army was also on the agenda. First, Liu Meng mobilized enough manpower to go to the barracks of the three of Shang Kexi to retrain the soldiers.

The new weapons and armor, Mini rifles, were also equipped in batches.

The three also got their wish, and one of them mastered a [-]-man Mini rifle unit and a new artillery unit.

Of course, Liu Meng also saved a hand, that is the Miniature bullets. With the foundry technology of this era, no matter how hard these Ming craftsmen tried, they could not produce uniform specifications of Miniature bullets.

As long as the ammunition is under Liu Meng's control, Liu Meng is not worried that the three of Shang Kexi will rebel against him.

Then, Li Zicheng, who became the emperor of Dashun for more than 30 days in the future, and Zhang Xianzhong, the emperor of Daxi, also joined the ranks of the peasant uprising army.

All of a sudden, wars were raging all over the land of Ming Dynasty. Wherever the peasant army went, the landlords and gentry were beheaded one after another, and all the family property and food were confiscated.

However, there is no peace of mind to develop people's livelihood, just like locusts crossing the border, farmers are taken away one after another, and the real chickens and dogs do not stay for thousands of miles.

When Chongzhen was in a state of desperation, he used Yang Heping to judge him to no avail.

In the fourth year of Chongzhen, after spring plowing, Liu Meng began to send out trained troops in batches.

Drive into Houjin's territory, focusing on quick raids and looting, destroying Houjin's stable life.

Liu Meng's purpose is very simple, I want your Houjin to not develop peacefully, and slowly eat away at your population.

As a result, Huang Taiji hated Liu Meng to the core, and in a fit of rage he ordered troops to be sent to encircle and suppress these flies that had entered Houjin.

However, under Fan Wencheng's persuasion, he still adopted the strategy of recruiting, and wanted to take Dongjiang soldiers and horses for his own use.

It's a pity, not to mention that the current two islands are completely self-sufficient under Liu Meng's vigorous development. With sufficient meat supplements, the combat power of all soldiers has steadily surpassed Hou Jin's combat power.

Not to mention that Liu Meng, who was born under the banner of Hou Jin in later generations, grew up in New China, and hated my Qing Dynasty, would never hook up with Hou Jin.

This is also doomed, Fan Wencheng's strategy has no possibility of realization.

And under the propaganda of the white pole army who returned to the capital, many people and officials in the capital knew that Mao Wenlong was the successor.

Dongjiang Town produced another fierce general, Liu Mengqianhu, who dared to fight the Tartars and won the battle.

Of course, although all the ministers and Emperor Chongzhen knew about these things, the tacit understanding between the emperor and his ministers did not mention them.

Because Liu Meng didn't report his merits to his superiors at all, and he didn't even come to the capital to Qin Wang.

what is this?Neither king nor minister!It's not that the judge looks like the judge, but the Emperor Chongzhen and his ministers also have no way to take Dongjiang Town, which is lonely overseas, for the time being.

On the bright side, Dongjiang Huandi belonged to the Ming court, but it was completely ignored.

The monarchs and ministers all acquiesced in the independent existence of Dongjiang's strength. At least with them holding back Houjin, the imperial court had the spare power to clear up those peasant rebellions.

However, Liu Meng's battle process was compiled into a storybook by good people, and spread in restaurants and teahouses as storytellers.

Inevitably, these mythological stories were also spread to the harem.

The eldest princess and Aimee Zhu, who are already five years old this year, have naturally heard these legendary stories.

It's also Liu Meng who doesn't care about Chongzhen's family affairs at all, or he might be taken by surprise.

Because, historically, the eldest princess Zhu Yu was born in the third year of Chongzhen.

And in this time and space, Auntie Zhu was born a long time ago, and she is still the eldest sister of Zhu Cihong, a veritable eldest princess.

Zhu Yuxi, who is only five years old, already likes fists, kicks and swords, and has a longing for heroes.
