Chapter 353: Immigration and Sinicization

"Drive!"

"Da Da Da"

In the area controlled by the Ming Dynasty, the fast horses of the brocade guards were galloping everywhere.

"The Emperor's List! The Emperor's List! This is a national imperial list, which was promulgated by Zhu Cicheng in order to recruit some refugees or volunteers to immigrate to Nanyang, Indonesia and other places, and Zhu Cizhen has high hopes.

If you want to sinicize such a large area as the two sides of Malacca and the East Indies, of course, it is not as simple as just sending a governor to the past, and a certain number of Han people must participate.

Although the Portuguese and the Dutch suppressed it no less than ten times, there were still no less than 3 million natives on both sides of Malacca and the East Indies.

Zhu Ci hesitated to think that if he wanted to completely sinicize so many natives, he would need at least one million Han people to participate, and then supplement it with the necessary education.

"What's written on the Emperor's List?"

"The imperial court recruits volunteers to immigrate to Indonesia, and all those who sign up will be given 100 acres of land per person according to the capitation, and will be exempt from tax for six years. In addition, the collection of children and above can read and hyphenate to Indonesia to teach the uncivilized local indigenous Chinese, Chinese characters, Han rites, the imperial court issued 20 taels of silver per month, also for six years, if you want to come back after six years, the imperial court also free of charge. ”

"Indonesia? Is it the place where the Navy and the Fourth Army of the Ying Long Army fought in Nanyang a few days ago? I heard that at least the three provinces of the Ming Dynasty are so big! ”

"Yes, yes, it must be that land!"

"Is it true that the conditions are so lucrative!"

"It must be true, don't you see that this is promulgated in the name of the emperor? The emperor is the king of the Holy Wisdom and never deceives the people! ”

It can be seen from the words of the people that Zhu Cihe's prestige in the hearts of the people of Daming, after all, since Zhu Cihe's ascension to the throne, he has won successive battles, and in just over a year, he has stabilized the originally crumbling Daming country, and the new policy implemented at the same time has also made the people obviously feel that life is getting better and better year by year, most of the people are simple, who let them have enough to eat and have a good life, they trust whom, so for the imperial list promulgated in the name of Zhu Cijiao, the people have no questioning ideas.

There is no doubt that in order to completely sinicize Indonesia,Zhu Ci has made a lot of effort,The conditions promised are also extremely generous,Regardless of adults and children,Hundreds of acres of land are issued per person per person,If there are five people in a family,Then there will be five hundred acres of land after arriving in Indonesia,If there are ten people in a family,Then it is a thousand acres of land,This is simply unimaginable in the Ming Dynasty,The most important thing is,If you don't adapt to it after you go,You can come back again after six years.,It's just six years.,Endure it and it's over.。

Each person is given 100 acres of land, although most of the people of the Ming Dynasty have the idea of leaving their homeland, but there are always some people who do not care so much, and there are many people who have fled from the north in recent years.

"Daming Daily! Daming Daily! ”

The latest issue of Daming Daily also came out at this time, and many literate people bought a copy on the spot and interpreted it on the spot for other illiterate people.

The most eye-catching in this issue of Daming Daily is undoubtedly the introduction of Indonesia, focusing on the geographical situation of Indonesia, as well as the abundant rain, which is an excellent place to grow rice, corn, and other crops, which can be harvested three times a year!

"Three crops a year! Wouldn't that be a year's worth of planting for a year's and a half's harvest! What a place to be! Many people sighed.

The people take food as the sky, and the people are always concerned about how much food they can produce, because the amount of food means how many families they can afford, the Ming Dynasty is mainly a family of five or six, not that it can't be more, and often the annual output of food is not enough, can not afford to raise more people, many children are just born to be given away, or dare not give birth at all, if more food can be produced every year, naturally there will be no such thing.

There is no doubt that the people are excited, even if there are not many people who really want to sign up, there are no within ten households, and there is always one household within a hundred households who want to go.

In the same way, there are some scholars who want to educate the natives, after all, not all scholars can get ahead, the so-called useless is the scholars, when they do not take the examination to raise the fame of the people, there is not much use for many people who read more, and there are many people who can't get into the show for ten years, some of these people have exhausted the continuation of their ancestors, and they have repeatedly failed to survive, and now they go to Indonesia to educate the natives, and there are twenty taels of silver a month, and a year is two hundred and forty taels, For many scholars, they may not be able to earn a year's worth of money in ten years, as long as they work hard for six years, it is more than 1,400 taels, which is enough to restore their ancestral business.

"Dad, do we really want to sign up to go to the South Seas, thousands of miles away from the Central Plains?" A young man in his twenties said to an old man in his fifties, his tone revealing reluctance.

Next to the father and son, there were two women and three children, a family of seven.

"Hey, San Lang, your eldest brother and second brother are protecting us when we are fleeing, and now your two sisters-in-law with three children, although there is a daily soup soup from the imperial court, but it is not a way to go on like this, we are fleeing, we are thousands of miles away from our homeland, what does it matter if we are farther, when we arrive in Nanyang, our family of seven can distribute 700 acres of land, and the imperial court provides food seeds for free, it is not a problem to feed us to survive, the worst is not good, we can come back after six years, by then, the emperor may have regained dominance of the world!" The old man said with a sigh.

This is also a matter of no way, in order to escape the war, their family fled thousands of miles from Shanxi to the south, originally a family of twelve, but did not want to go halfway to five, two elders, three children, a family of twelve became seven, they are already good, the same village, some of them have not been left.

The young man was silent, he also knew that his father had a point, anyway, they were far away from their homeland, and it was nothing if they were any further away, as long as they could survive.

"But Dad, can your body stand it?" The young man suddenly thought of something and said worriedly.

"It's okay, although your father is old, his body is still strong, and he can't stop our family." The old man smiled absently.

In the past two years, with the increasing stability of the Ming Dynasty, the trend of re-dominating the world has been revealed, and after several reforms, the lives of ordinary people have become better and better.

In this way, many people from various yamen came to sign up with their families.

At the same time, many readers are also signing up.

"Xianggong, are you really going?" At the entrance of the county office, a middle-aged woman in her thirties pulled a man who was also in her thirties but was wearing a Confucian shirt, with pleading in her eyes.

"Lady, for the husband of the cold window for more than 20 years, since 12 years ago in a show, several times failed to get the exam, into Beijing to catch the exam is impossible to talk about, now the family still used up all the ancestral savings, if not the lady does not give up, weaving cloth support, for the husband is afraid that even a full meal can not afford to eat, the mother's hard work for the husband has been in the eyes, deeply ashamed, as a dignified man, it should be for the husband to support the family is right, for the husband to make up his own mind, the lady does not have to persuade, after arriving in Nanyang, For the husband will send back the silver taels every month for the lady to support the family! ”

The middle-aged woman had tears in her eyes, she couldn't imagine that Xianggong thought like this in her heart, she didn't marry the wrong person, and her Xianggong also had a side that stood up to the sky.

"Xianggong, since you are resolute in going, I am inconvenient to persuade you, but please Xianggong take two children to go with me, our family also immigrates, there can always be more than 400 acres of land, Xianggong is still indoctrinate, land cultivation, depending on the situation, you can plant as much as you can, and the family is always happier together."

"Lady, you"

The last sentence of the middle-aged woman touched him, a family is always happier together, yes, go alone with other lonely people, leaving the lady and two children at home, thousands of miles apart, it is better to go together as a family, and you can come back after six years, just bet on it!

Among the scholars who signed up to go, there were both single people and those who, like men in Confucian shirts, took their families with them after the husband and wife had discussed.

In order to tempt the people and let the people go with peace of mind, Zhu Ciji not only promised many benefits, but most importantly, promised that those who did not want to stay after six years could return to their homeland, which is the reason why many people and scholars were finally willing to fight.

In just one day, 200,000 people from all over the country signed up to emigrate, and more than 400 people signed up to study.

Zhu Ci's goal is to immigrate 1 million to 2 million people, and 20,000 scholars are needed for education.

"Your Majesty, everything is ready, and the people who have voluntarily emigrated from all over the country are gathering at the designated Yangtze River waterway ferry, waiting for the navy's ships to pick them up!" Household Shangshu Liu Zong Zhou Yu reported.

In his eyes, that part of Indonesia is a barren land, and now it is occupied by the Navy and the Fourth Army, and it can be regarded as the land of the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor immigrated some people to reclaim it, there is nothing wrong with it, after all, the emperor did not force any of the people, they were all people who went voluntarily, and if he really wanted to object, he didn't know how to speak.

Shoufu Qian Qianyi and several other pavilion elders had similar thoughts to Liu Zongzhou, and they couldn't say whether they supported or opposed.

In the end, it is a piece of land as big as three provinces, even if it is a wasteland, reclamation and reclamation, it is not that it cannot be included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty! Forget it, the emperor's temper, even if they oppose it, it may not have any effect, the left and right are the household and the navy are busy, so let them be busy.

"Order the navy to mobilize sea ships as much as possible to transport the people who have voluntarily emigrated to settle in Nanyang!" Zhu Cicheng always had a satisfied smile on his face.

The large area on both sides of Malacca and the East Indies is not only strategically located, but also extremely rich in various resources, and that place, adjacent to Annam and other southeast peninsulas and Luzon Island in the north, and the Australian mainland in the south, will open up the east Indies north and south of the Ming Dynasty in the future, and can achieve the most magnificent cause!

Zhu Ci hesitated and didn't believe it, with the charm of Han civilization, immigration and indoctrination, supplemented by military deterrence, it could not completely sinicize the barren land of Indonesia!

A month later, more than 1,000 ships were flying in the sea near Indonesia.

The first batch of 100,000 immigrants arrived at their destination, beginning the first scene of the greatest ghost mu emigrating overseas in Chinese history.

"Haha, people of the Ming Dynasty, our family tells you that in the future, you will be proud of your choice today!" Zhao Dequan, the newly appointed governor of Indonesia, personally greeted the Ming people who had immigrated here.

Zhao Dequan is full of energy, these days, he already has a set of plans in his mind on how to develop Indonesia, I don't believe that he can't complete the task assigned by the emperor, and completely become a part of the Ming Dynasty, in less than ten years, he can make all the indigenous people here speak Chinese, learn Chinese characters, practice Chinese etiquette, and identify themselves as a part of the Ming Dynasty from the bottom of their hearts.

Of course, if there are stubborn people, he Zhao Dequan doesn't mind being ruthless! A cold light flashed in Zhao Dequan's eyes!

Needless to say, Zhao Dequan's wholeheartedness is needless to say, when he thinks that he will be able to occupy the position of the prince of the country with a disabled body in the future and go down in history, Zhao Dequan's heart is like a raging flame, which really makes his blood boil.

With the first batch of immigrants settled, the second batch, the third batch, and even more and more immigrants came to the East Indies, the Ming Dynasty's control over the East Indies became more and more stable, and the East Indies entered a period of steady development, and Zhu Ciji's attention gradually withdrew from the East Indies, and turned to the north. Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are the primary targets of the Ming Dynasty's destruction!
