In fact, there is one of the most important reasons why local governments can tolerate large-scale immigration from the Far East, that is, the rebels of the displaced people are too ruthless in various places. The exiled army came and went in Shanxi, Henan and Hubei, and the imperial court organized a lot of soldiers and horses to clean up, but as soon as this one was destroyed, that one came out again.

It took a lot of money to settle a place, but it didn't take long for it to resurge. In fact, the eradication of the army of displaced people is in itself a symptom rather than a cure, and the key is to solve the problem of the displaced people. If the homeless people don't make trouble, they will starve to death, no matter how they die, they will die, so it is better to fight.

The Far Eastern Central Plains Intelligence Station has sent people to meet secretly with the leaders of the Wandering Rebels in various places and put forward a proposal to make a deal with the Wandering Army. The leaders of the exile armies in various places, seeing the samples taken by the Far East, immediately agreed to the proposal of the Far East.

Every year, a large number of inland river sailing ships, loaded with cold weapons, medicines, bows, crossbows, armor, and other strategic materials, are transported to the hands of the displaced people's armies in various places through the Yellow River waterways. As a result, the strength of the exiled army active in Henan, Huguang, Shanxi and other places has greatly increased, and it is much stronger than in history.

Far Eastern's products include the company's machinery factory, which uses modern production equipment and adopts industrial assembly line methods to mass-produce stainless steel war knives, physique spearheads, stainless steel arrowheads, wooden iron shields and other cold weapons, chain mail, leather armor, steel plate armor, steel helmets and other armor.

In addition, there are cotton clothes, cotton hats, gloves, cotton shoes, belt leather boots, wooden kettles, felt blankets, quilt covers, cold tents, as well as sugar, refined salt, canned whale meat, canned fish, spirits, tobacco, and a large number of Chinese patent medicines and other military materials produced by the Far East Chinese Medicine Factory, all of which are urgently needed by the peasant army in various places, but there is not a grain of grain.

The exiled armies everywhere are very eager to trade with the Far East, and the cold weapons and armor produced by the Far East and various strategic materials are produced. Not only is the quality far superior to that of the Ming official army, but there is no upper limit on the quantity, you can have as many as you want.

Of course, the prices of cold weapons, armor and various strategic materials produced in the Far East are extremely high. The trade between the exile army and the Far East could only be used for the gold, silver, jewelry, antique calligraphy and painting, porcelain and lacquerware, silk brocade, as well as grain and young Ming women looted in various places as transaction money. Moreover, the initiative of the transaction between the two sides is completely in the hands of the Far Eastern Company, and the huge profits in it are simply unimaginable.

Often a pile of gold, silver, jewelry, porcelain, lacquerware, calligraphy, painting, antiques and silk brocade can only be exchanged for some weapons and armor, and dozens of young Ming women can only be exchanged for some military supplies. The Far East transported these gold, silver, jewelry, porcelain, lacquerware, calligraphy, painting, antiques, and silk brocade to the south of the Yangtze River through the Yellow River waterway, and they could immediately sell them at a high price in exchange for a large amount of grain and cloth, which were used on the Ming refugees.

But the peasant armies everywhere could only break their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs. No matter how outrageous the Far East's offer is, they have to buy it head-on. The supply of materials for the Wandering People's Army can only rely on conquering the city, and then capturing the equipment and materials in the treasury of the Ming Mansion for trading.

However, this kind of supply method of warfare and warfare could not meet the needs of the huge displaced army itself. Don't look at the fact that the homeless armies of all walks of life claim to be tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, in fact, it would be good to have a few thousand people in the old battalions that can really fight, and the rest are all they coerce the homeless people from all over the country.

If they want to feed such a large army of displaced people, they can only keep attacking everywhere. It's like locusts crossing the border, and there is not a single grass left. But he couldn't get supplies in the real sense, and he met the real Ming official army. It can only be defeated and scattered, and finally defeated.

However, since the trade between the exile army and the Far East, the strength of the exile army in various places has instantly increased a lot. After all, the most important thing for the Wandering Army is people, as long as the equipment is sufficient, they can train as many people as they want.

And they scavenged gold and silver jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings, and silk and satin in various places. can't spend it at all, and before they can spend it, they may be wiped out by the imperial army. Rather than rotting in your hands, it is better to use it to trade with the Far East.

Obtained cold weapons, armor, bows and crossbows and strategic materials from the Far East, at least he could strengthen his own strength. When encountering officers and soldiers, they can fight for a while. In this troubled era, a soldier is the king of grass, and only a strong person can survive to the end.

Since trading with the Displaced People's Army, the situation of the Far East inland river sailing fleet, which used to sail into Henan empty, has also changed. Instead, they entered the Yellow River waterways loaded with large quantities of supplies, and then drove to the banks of the Yellow River in Henan and Shanxi, where they traded with the various wandering people's armies. On the return trip, he pulled a boatload of gold and silver jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings, and silk and satin, as well as a large number of young Ming women.

Ships of gold, silver, jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings, and silk and silk were all handed over to Song Shiping in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, who sold them in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and bought grain and cloth on the spot in exchange for gold and silver to support the immigration work in the Far East.

Now Song Shiping in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is thriving in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Nanzhili. He tied up with local officials at all levels in the Ming Dynasty through various commercial means, and also sprinkled a lot of silver to bribe officials of all classes, so that he was very comfortable in the Liangjiang area.

Moreover, his influence in the black and white in the Liangjiang region is also increasing, and he can share the spoils of all kinds of unsightly businesses. He also controlled the pirate power along the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and generally the Jiangnan officials and businessmen who had business at sea had to sell some face to the old Song Dynasty.

Now Song Shiping has extraordinary energy in Jiangnan, through which the Far East buys grain and collects displaced people in Jiangnan, and he also helps the Far East build an intelligence network and business network in Jiangnan, and now all major cities in Jiangnan have stores secretly opened by the Far East. It can be said that there are all kinds of livelihoods, including grain stores, brothels, trading houses, restaurants, casinos, etc. This is also the eyes and ears of the Far East in all parts of the Daming Jiangnan.

After several years of construction, the Daming Central Plains Intelligence Station of the Far East Intelligence Department has established a perfect intelligence network in the provinces south of the Yangtze River and Henan, Anhui, and Shanxi in the north, and is now developing in Shandong, Beizhili, and Jingshi.

The Central Plains Intelligence Station has made such tremendous achievements, and Zhou Weifan has made great contributions. He was born in Daming Jinyiwei, and he is very familiar with the situation of Daming, and he also has the support of the Far East Company sparing no effort, so it only took a few years to lay countless nails in various parts of Daming.

He used a lot of money and all kinds of extreme means to develop nearly a thousand peripheral intelligence officers, and even had a lot of eyeliner in various rogue armies. He also recruited many Jianghu figures, among whom there were all kinds of cheating, abduction, and stealing, as the second-line support force of the intelligence station.

At present, the Central Plains Intelligence Station can not only successfully complete the tasks assigned to them by the company to collect immigrants every year, but also continuously transmit all kinds of real-time information of the Ming Dynasty back to the Far East Intelligence Headquarters.
