I heard my sister say that since the opening of Nanyang Airlines, dozens of raw silk, tea, salt and iron and other goods have been transported to the Nanyang Islands, and in addition to 400,000 stone grains, nearly 800,000 taels of gold and silver have been obtained, and these have been invested in the development of Yizhou Island.

"Before and after the battles in Yongjia, Huiji, and Xuzhou last year, Huaidong's troops were very tight, since Nanyang gained so much, why not give priority to recruiting troops?" Song Bo asked suspiciously.

Before and after the war in Xuzhou, Huaidong deployed about 50,000 soldiers in the Xusi area. Since he was able to obtain four or five hundred thousand stone grain and nearly one million taels of silver from Nanyang every year, he was not in a hurry to develop Yizhou Island, and he could add 50,000 soldiers to the Huaisi area.

"Thick accumulation and thin hair," at this time, Huaidong's more subtle military and political affairs do not need to hide from the Song family, Song Jia said, "Summed up in six words, 'build a high city, accumulate grain', and when there is an urgent need, Huaidong will give priority to investing silver in governance, just like after the Huaisi War, Huaidong can also take hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from the Jinhai Grain Road every year, and it is also prioritized to repair and defend the seawall." If it weren't for the seawall, it would be hard to imagine that Huaidong would have been able to settle so many people in the past two years? ”

"Huaidong repaired the seawall, it was really courageous - it was also Huaidong repairing the seawall, and my father didn't even go to Jin'an at all, and he stayed in Quanzhou all the time." Song Bo said.

Song Jia frowned slightly, thinking: Maybe before she came back, her father saw it thoroughly and knew what choice to make, but he might not be able to convince the clansmen to delay it until now, right?

The boat docked, Zhao Qingshan and Sun Shangwang personally came to the dock to greet them, and when they got off the boat, Song Bo saluted the two of them: "Song Bo has seen General Zhao and Lord Sun!" ”

Zhao Qingshan came out of the forest, he was one of the five generals of the Jiangdong Left Army in his early years, and now he is the commander of the first water battalion in Jinghai, and is responsible for the attack on the eastern coast of Fujian on the southern front.

Sun Shangwang stayed in Jinhai for a long time, and in the autumn of the first year of Yongxing, he abandoned Jinhai, and Sun Shangwang went south to Yizhou to take up his post, which was only a little more than a year. It was in a little later a year, under the auspices of Sun Shangwang, that Huaidong forcibly moved nearly 100,000 people to Yizhou Island.

Song Bo only knew that Sun Shangwang was born in a broken show, but he didn't expect that he was very talented in governance. Sun Shangwang also happened to be in the middle of the road, forced to make a living, and wandered around, so that he could find a scholar to understand the suffering of the world.

"After the fall of Mingzhou, Yizhou could not be defended alone, and the Governor of Zhejiang and Fujian decided to abandon the island and burn the city, and wanted to turn Yizhou into remnants and wasteland. Song Bo complimented.

"The luxury family still caused us a lot of trouble, otherwise we would have to buy the conditions of the house before the year." Sun Shangwang said.

"Mansion?" Song Bo asked suspiciously.

"The conditions for temporary placement are not yet ripe, and four tun pieces will be set up in the east and central and southern parts of the country, including Yiyang, Nanho, Xinying, and Fengshan." Sun Shangwang said.

"......" Song Bo glanced at his sister suspiciously, he had just arrived, and he came to join on behalf of the Song family, and some words should not be said too plainly.

Along the Jinzhu River, located in the northwest of Yizhou Island, it is the earliest gathering area. Even if the luxury family withdrew, it was destroyed and a large number of houses were burned down, but as long as people were moved in, it was relatively easy to move and adapt - but the rest of Yizhou Island was a barbaric land where miasma was rampant, and the northerners moved in, and they were very susceptible to diseases. Once a large area is infected, the losses are bound to be heavy.

Sun Shangwang saw the doubts in Song Bo's eyes, and said with a wry smile: "Yizhou is a wild and barren island, and there is a saying in ancient times that it is difficult for the people to live in their place, and if they suffer from illness, they will die for a lifetime, and everyone regards it as a daunting way. But generally speaking, people who are strong and strong are not susceptible to diseases; Those who have survived for a long time in the humid land in the south are not susceptible to diseases; Those who drink water, eat and eat cleanly, are not susceptible to diseases. It is not easy to get 400,000 acres of land in the surrounding area of Yizhou City, and if you want to move more people to the island, you must open up tun areas in the west and central and southern parts of the island. The first to be dispatched was the soldiers of the workers' battalion and the hard labor and exile of the service battalion, and their diet and rest were strictly controlled. For more than half a year, although there have been people suffering from serious diseases from time to time, as long as the treatment and isolation are timely, they have not become serious problems. Even if you suffer from a serious disease, it can be cured nine times out of ten......"

Although Xuzhou decided to borrow 3 million taels of silver from Huaidong Qianzhuang for the rectification of people's livelihood and restoration, due to the influx of too many refugees in the Xusi area and the war zone, the population was too dense, and moving the population south was a long-term strategy to adhere to.

The areas with the largest population in Zhejiang County are also Yongjia, Taizhou, Mingzhou, Huiji and other coastal and riverside places, which are generally already in the hands of Huaidong - rich land is also limited.

In the future, even if the western part of Zhejiang is laid, in fact, it will not be possible to place too many dingkou in the mountainous western part of Zhejiang. Including the Taihu Lake Plain, Jiangning, Dongyang, Weiyang and other places, the population is relatively full. Only Yizhou Island, which is almost larger than Hailing and Huai'an combined, has tens of millions of acres of flat field resources in an undeveloped state, so how can Lin Jian slow down the development of Yizhou Island because of miasma?

The power of the eight surnames in the eastern Fujian region is extraordinarily huge, and in the entire eastern Fujian region, almost seventy percent of the Dingkou can trace back to the roots, and they can be related to the eight surnames. Even if the luxury family is exterminated in the future, it is impossible to uproot all the eight surnames of millions of people.

The development of Yizhou and the large-scale migration of people from Huaisi and other places actually changed the population structure of the southeast region on a large scale, and also took advantage of Huaidong's future rule over the eastern Fujian region.

Later generations thought that miasma was malaria, a pollution disease transmitted mainly by mosquito bites. As long as mosquito nets can be extended, the infection rate will drop dramatically. The early migration of the population and the strengthening of the management of dietary hygiene and other work and rest habits can effectively control the breeding of malaria.

In addition, miasma is not curable, search for medical books, for thousands of years, there are fifteen or sixteen kinds of prescriptions for miasma, Huaidong also invested a lot of medical resources in Yizhou Island - all kinds of means are used, even if it is far from completely eliminating miasma, it can also control the loss within the bearable range.

Once Yizhou Island forms a residential scale of hundreds of thousands of people in several counties and relies on the Nanyang route, it becomes a springboard for Chongzhou, Mingzhou and Nanyang Islands, even if the Song family does not throw themselves into Huaidong at this time, the luxury family will lose the possibility of relying on the coastal areas of eastern Fujian to confront Huaidong.

Song Bo entered the island, but only had a cursory look at the surface, Sun Shangwang did not hesitate to speak, introducing a series of details of the development of Yizhou Island, so that Song Bo fundamentally knew that at least the situation in the southeast was no longer in luxury.

At this time, there was a big ship from the Jinzhu River upstream, there was no intention to dock in Yizhou City, until the nearest place to see that the cabin was black and swarthy loaded with coal and stone, and went directly to the mouth of the stream, it seemed that it was going directly to the sea.

"Where is this coal and stone going?" Song Bo asked.

"Chongzhou?" Sun Shangwang replied.

"Huaiyang also produces coal, and it has always been under the control of Huaidong; Isn't it more convenient to transport coal from Huaiyang to Chongzhou than Yizhou? Song Bo said.

"It seems that Huaiyang and Yizhou are far away, but the inland river boats are slow and small, and the sea boats are fast and the ships are large, and in comparison, the coal from Yizhou is cheaper in Chongzhou...... "and the coal in Huaiyang is also slightly insufficient." ”

In the previous dynasty, Huaiyang coal was supplied to Jiangning, Weiyang and other places, and it reached one million stones in its heyday, but it was not enough to supply Chongzhou at this time, and it was also emotional to think about it.

Looking at the size of the coal carrier, the carrying capacity is almost four or five thousand stones, and the five tall masts are towering into the clouds - Huaidong uses the luxury of five-masted giant ships to transport coal, Song Boshi can hardly imagine that any other force can compete with Huaidong on the East China Sea?

It's not a question of winning or losing, it's a question of qualifications - thinking of what my sister said before that Yanhu has the determination to develop a water camp in Dengzhou, I thought: Could this be a trap for Huaidong?

Huaidong's shipbuilding resources are far richer than those of Yanhu.

Even if Yanhu has made great efforts to build the water camp, and even a series of victories, as long as it is defeated, the Yanhu water camp will be greatly damaged, and according to Huaidong's shipbuilding ability, it may not hurt the vitality if it is defeated ten times or eight times.

*************

When it comes to the development of water camps, there are also many controversies in Yanjing City.

Since Huaidong is regarded as a fierce enemy, it is a matter of course to send secret agents and secret piles to Huaidong to collect information about Huaidong, and the understanding of Huaidong is naturally becoming clearer and clearer.

The defeat of Xuzhou made Huaidong's Xusi defense line become solidified, and Yanhu turned from offensive to defensive in Shandong and Henan, but Huaidong used Miaoshan Island, Jinwei Island and other islands as a base, deployed water battalion troops, and always stretched its tentacles into Bohai Bay without retracting it, so that Yanjing City was like a thorn in the back, and it was difficult to be safe all day long.

Miaoshan Island is more than ten miles away from Dengzhou City, and Jinwei Island is closer to Jinhai City, less than ten miles; Huaidong deploys elite combat forces at such a close distance, and can attack and harass thousands of miles of coastal line from Liaoyang to Jimo at any time.

What's even more terrifying is that the speed of Huaidong soldiers and horses moving by sea is very fast, and it is also very hidden and free.

The luxury family's successive defeats in the wars in eastern and southern Zhejiang are the precedents that Yanhu had to ponder.

In late December, Nahe Xiongqi was transferred to the eastern part of Shandong, which meant to garrison the sea frontier. From Dengzhou, Laizhou, Cangnan, Jinhai, Changli, Yuguan, Liaoyang and Jinzhou, Shandong is headed by Nahe Xiongqi; From Yuguan to Cangnan, headed by Yeji Baishi; Liaoyang and Jinzhou also used generals to establish a simple maritime defense line, in order to prevent Huaidong soldiers and horses from carrying out large-scale landings from Yanji, Liangliao and other hinterlands.

Ye Ji'er invested 100,000 troops on this defense line, including 40,000 elite cavalry from Donghu, and the price was not high. At this time, Huaidong's troops on Jinhai Island and Miaoshan Island were only a few thousand.

To expel or exterminate the Huaidong soldiers from these islands, Yanjing City can't directly control a strong water camp force, Huaidong's shipbuilding capacity is so strong, what can Yan Hu do with Huaidong's water camp?
