50 Development Daxing

The location of Daxing Town, according to the map of later generations, is actually around Hualien Port today, which can be regarded as a good fishing port, which is also the reason why the Dutch took a fancy to this place.

Tan Songyun was transferred here by Li Tianyang from the shopkeeper of Qixintang in Jilong Port, and he came with An Xianguo, the head of the defense battalion.

Tan Songyun's arrival was to resettle and develop Daxing Town, and at this time, the town, together with the hundreds of Hongmen soldiers who were originally stationed here, now has five or six thousand people, forcing Li Tianyang to step up the development of Daxing Town.

Why not continue to develop land in Da'an Town, but send people all the way to Daxing Town and Jingpu?

This is still to take into account the thoughts of the tribes of the Bengang Alliance, although at this time, the tribes in the alliance will not be able to develop Da'an Town for a while due to factors such as strength and population, but the action of clearing and suppressing the rabbit essence on this territory is done by everyone, and Li Tianyang and their Hongmen cannot escape too much, and develop too much land at one time, which makes other tribes very uncomfortable this time, and at the same time will cause everyone's vigilance.

It was not easy for the natives to let down their guard against Hongmen, and now the relationship between the alliance tribes and Hongmen is much more important than before. Whether it is in agriculture, commercial transactions, and cultural indoctrination, including the Raike tribe, which is the most wary of Hongmen, they are extremely friendly and cooperative.

This seems to have something to do with the fact that Li Tianyang took people to the interior of the Ming Dynasty and opened the eyes of this group of natives, and now the tribesmen of the Bengang Alliance are circulating: on the other side of the sea, there is an unimaginably powerful empire, where there are countless populations, splendid palaces and houses, and powerful armies full of iron armor.

But in fact, this does not mean that the aborigines have really lost their vigilance against Hongmen, and the law of the jungle that the aborigines believe in will not be reversed for a few years in Hongmen.

The reason why they began to instill in them without hindrance to what Hongmen instilled in them was because they knew the wonders of the outside world, and they wanted to integrate into Hongmen for the advanced knowledge and culture in the hands of Hongmen, so as to fill the ignorance and ignorance caused by the isolation of their tribe.

Before, everyone was still fighting for three meals a day, but now they can have surplus food in exchange for bright silk, fragrant perfume and soap; A strait that once thought it was boundless made the natives sigh with admiration, but now they know that a sea ship can turn the sea into a thoroughfare, and on the other side of the sea is the same as them, the Ming people with a nose and two eyes.

If the indigenous people want to integrate into the wonderful world outside, it is impossible for them to do it with their ability, so they can only rely on the power of Hongmeng to achieve their wishes.

However, Hongmen can't be too strong, and can't let some tribesmen feel that they are worried about extermination, otherwise, with the temperament and insight of these indigenous patriarchs, I am afraid that they will part ways with Hongmen on the spot, even if they pay a big price.

This is also the reason why Hongmen supports the development and growth of these indigenous people, sinicization and taming an indigenous civilization, not an overnight thing, perhaps Hongmen can conquer all the tribes on this island by powerful military means, but Hongmen is bound to pay a heavy price for this, and it will take a long time.

If it is to conquer the natives, it will cost a huge amount of manpower and material resources, and it will also wear out the time for the final development, which is the result that Li Tianyang does not want to see.

Moreover, the fighting power of the indigenous people in the jungle is obvious to all, and the Hongmen soldiers have suffered from the indigenous people in the jungle over the years.

The population of the indigenous people is also huge, and now the population of nearly 200 tribes in the Bengang Alliance is roughly about 150,000, distributed in the jungle around Bengang.

Because of the relationship between the living environment and the medical environment, there are basically no elderly people in these indigenous people, but the living conditions have improved in recent years, and the number of children has increased, but the number of adult males has reached almost 1/3 of the total population, and most of the remaining women can also play a lot of combat effectiveness.

If this group of indigenous people can be utilized, then the strength of Hongmen will grow geometrically, and it will be possible for Hongmen to rely on Dayuan Island to resist the Qing people and become a prince in the future.

Therefore, Li Tianyang will not let the good situation have twists and turns because of some small things, Dayuan Island is so big, Hongmen can't develop in one place, so that the tribes of the alliance will have scruples and vigilance, which will have an impact on the future plan.

On the side of Daxing Town, because of the towering central mountain range, it is impossible for the tribes of the Bengang Alliance to extend their tentacles here for a long time, and even without the transportation of Hongmen sea ships, it is a big problem for them to cross the mountain range and come to Daxing Town.

This is just the right place for Hongmen to continue the layout and incorporate the entire Dayuan Island into the Hongmen system.

The only pity is that because of the mountain range, Daxing Town, like Jilong Town, has many hills, and it is difficult to build a new town for clearing wasteland.

Moreover, due to the restrictions of hills and other terrain, if you want to open up more than tens of thousands of acres of land in Daxing Town, you can only open up along the north-south direction of the coastline.

At the same time, due to the invasion of seawater, the land around the coastline is often salinized, and the crops cultivated may not be as productive as those in the interior.

Of course, the biggest problem is security, although the alliance landed from Daxing Town and wiped out the indigenous tribes around Daxing Town, but this is adjacent to the central mountain range, and many tribes have fled to the mountain, and the alliance has not been able to wipe it out.

Now more than a year has passed, many indigenous tribes have come down from the mountains and begun to settle down in the surrounding jungles, because of the previous hatred of extermination, Hongmen Daxing Town has become the enemy of life and death in the eyes of these indigenous tribes.

Over the past few days, there have been many tribal squads cruising around Daxing Town, and from time to time they have harassed and attacked the people and soldiers who walked out of Daxing Town, which made Tan Songyun feel a little headache.

Tan Songyun also applied for a battalion team from the Whale Department to help clear out the surrounding Shengfan natives, but if you want to completely clean up this group of natives who are happy in the jungle, it takes a long time to rely on the Hongmen soldiers alone, and it can be completed in a short time from time to time.

However, the Hongmen soldiers are not too unfamiliar with jungle warfare now, and there are many indigenous people among the soldiers who have joined them, which is of great help to Hongmen to be familiar with jungle warfare.
