The sound of the waves is the main tone of the island at night.
After a night's rest in Michaela lengbao, the next day Xiao Ming took the map provided by Claire and began to officially take over Ryukyu Island and jeranzha city.
Luo Xin was ordered to take two thousand soldiers to the city of reranzhe for garrison. Xiao Ming and Lu Fei took two thousand people to the sugarcane planting area marked on the map, while the rest of the soldiers were responsible for the city defense in the fort of michila.
"Your Highness, where are you going?"
when the army gathered, Xiao Ming and Lu Fei were preparing to leave, a voice came.
Xiao Ming saw that Clare and rod were coming towards them. He said, "count Clare, I am going to send someone to inform you. Now we are going to take over Ryukyu Island."
"Your Highness, we are here for this." After a night of painful psychological struggle, Clare finally chose to further harmonize with the king of Qi.
"Yes? What a coincidence. I'm going to visit the sugarcane plantation and try the white granulated sugar here
Claire's face muscles trembled as he heard the words, and he felt a pain.
In Ryukyu for more than 40 years, they worked hard to manage this large-scale sugarcane plantation. Now the sugarcane that is about to mature is Xiao Ming's.
In addition to sugarcane plantations, there are also large areas of rice fields on Ryukyu Island. These rice fields are three crops a year, which provide them with sufficient food. These food are even sold to the British, Spanish and French in exchange for money.
Reluctantly smiling, Claire said, "let me lead your highness there, so that we can have a formal handover. The aborigines here don't know your highness. I'm afraid there will be conflicts."
"It's very good, but from then on they are the people of Dayu, not the aborigines." Xiao Ming deliberately emphasized the word "indigenous" because it contains too much discrimination.
Claire was stunned for a moment, and his face became more and more dignified. In his opinion, it was a dangerous signal, because he saw from Xiao Ming that a nation was about to wake up.
"All right." With embarrassment in Claire's smile, he and rod looked at each other and walked to the island.
Xiao Ming and Lu Fei follow them along the path extending from the michila castle to the northeast. After 20 miles, a wide sugarcane field appears in front of them.
The sugarcane is very dense, about three meters high, which blocks the sight. From the edge, you can't see the edge at all.
"Your Highness, this is our sugarcane field. These sugarcane can be planted once a year. This place is very suitable for planting sugarcane. Every sugarcane is very sweet." Claire introduces Xiao Ming.
After a pause, he pointed to the large paddy field opposite the sugarcane field and said, "this area is rice, which matures three times a year."
"Three seasons mature!" Lu Fei's mouth was wide open. He said to Xiao Ming, "Your Highness, I'm making a lot of money. There are three crops of rice every year. How much more rice do you have to get?"
Zhao long and Zhao Hu follow Xiao Ming with excitement.
"So how many people on the island are responsible for growing sugar cane and rice?" Xiao Ming asked.
Claire said, "the soil here No, there are 30000 people, 10000 of whom are responsible for sugarcane plantations, and the remaining 20000 are responsible for rice cultivation. The sugarcane plantations in this area are about 50000 mu, and the paddy fields are about 150000 mu. "
"It's a lot of money." Xiao Ming's excited eyebrows, won Ryukyu, he is really equal to give him an additional granary.
If he asked Xiao Wenxuan to move another 50000 or 60000 people to Ryukyu Island, Ryukyu would be of greater value.
Clare nodded. "It's true, your highness. It's enough to prove our sincerity. I hope your highness can show your sincerity, too."
"Isn't it enough to prove his sincerity that we are here with a large army? Oh, of course, I'm sure I won't let you suffer in trade. " Xiao Ming said lightly.
With that, they visited the plantation group under the guidance of Claire, and most importantly, Claire introduced Xiao Ming to the supervisor in charge of the plantation and rice fields.
"See you, your highness." A black and thin young man saluted Xiao Ming with a strong Fuzhou accent.
Hearing this idiomatic dialect, Xiao Ming understood that this man was not from Ryukyu Island, but migrated from across the sea. He said, "Claire has made it very clear. From then on, this island belongs to the king, and the people under your jurisdiction also belong to the king. Do you understand?"
Lin Fu looked at the soldiers with guns behind Xiao Ming. With a look of fear on his face, he flattered and said, "yes, your highness, I'll listen to you from now on. If your Highness has any orders, he can do it."
Xiao Ming nodded gently. He and Claire walked on for a while and found a village with many villagers. There was a blackboard in the middle of the village with some Dutch written on it.These Dutch words probably mean that Ryukyu Island is the territory of the Netherlands, and the residents of the island also belong to the Netherlands and will serve the Dutch all their lives.
Seeing the blackboard and the stool on the open space in front of the blackboard, Xiao Ming already understood that this was the Dutch enslavement education in Ryukyu.
With a snort, Xiao Ming wiped out all the handwriting on the blackboard and wrote down five words of the territory of Qingzhou on the blackboard.
Claire's eyes showed a trace of deep sorrow. Now most of the residents on the island can speak Dutch, and now this situation is about to be changed, and all traces of Holland will be erased.
Xiao Ming's behavior further proves that he is different from the vassal kings of the state of Dayu. Only those who have a sense of national honor and disgrace will be so angry about it.
If not considering the overall situation, he really wants to wipe out the Dutch. Like other colonists, they are assimilating this land, and this is the most terrible thing.
If you want to destroy the family, you must destroy the history first!
When the first generation of people in this land dies out, the assimilated children of the second generation will no longer identify with their ancestors, and they will completely become another nation.
This is the evil of tampering with history. In Xiao Ming's opinion, this is more terrible than nuclear bombs. Because of this, he was so angry when he saw that the Dutch were erasing the traces of Ryukyu's history.
The people in the village looked complicated when they saw this scene. For the first time, such vigorous Da Yu characters appeared on this blackboard. Strong memories poured into their hearts. Tears flashed in the eyes of some old people who came from across the sea.
Leaving the chalk behind, Xiao Ming looks at three workshops in the village. Some sugarcane are piling up outside, and some villagers are moving some brown particles out.
