10,000 navy, 10,000 marines and more than 20,000 army, nearly 50,000 troops, marched by land and water to attack Xiaoliuqiu Island where the indigenous people were entrenched. It was really a quick kill. They were devastated along the way and were irresistible. It was just a

Within a month, they fought all the way from the south to the north of the island. Wherever the army passed, the indigenous tribes surrendered and fled, with few resisters.

While mopping up the indigenous people, the Peking Army also set up strongholds and colonies in various places. Three seaport bases in Tainan, Taichung and Taipei were established along the coast. At the same time, they also established military fortresses in dangerous places to block the mountain people's route down the mountain to ensure level ground.

security of the area.

After the land was occupied, the next step was to enclose the land. The officers and soldiers who entered Ryukyu Island were allocated 100 to 500 acres of land according to their military merit. Nearly 100,000 hectares of land were taken away in one go. However, the land on Ryukyu Island was

There are nearly 4 million hectares of flat land near good land, and excluding those allocated to the army, there are still nearly 3 million hectares.

Of course, Wan Lei would not occupy these three million hectares of land by himself. In fact, Wan Lei has never occupied an acre of land, because he knows that now that the Republic of China has begun to enter an industrialized society, investing in cultivated land is really not as good as investing in business.

Industry makes money quickly, and as the colonization process accelerates, land will eventually become less and less valuable.

Wan Lei does not occupy these lands privately, but encourages people to subscribe. These three million hectares of land are divided into 300,000 pieces, and each piece is sold to the public at a low price of ten silver dollars. If you are a veteran, it is half the price.

During that time, most veterans spent money to buy land and moved their families to Ryukyu Island to settle down.

In fact, there are more than 500,000 people in the Peiping Army, Navy, and Army. According to the Military Service Law, one-tenth of them will retire every year. In other words, 50,000 people will retire this year. Some of these people have been assigned to work at the grassroots level as police officers.

, the larger part is diversion and resettlement. The state will give them various preferential policies, and buying land at low prices is one of them.

The regular army's military pay is already high, plus there are subsidies for retirement, it can be said that these lands are basically given to them for free. The reason why Wan Lei introduced such a policy to benefit the army is to encourage young and middle-aged people to join the army;

In order to speed up the development of the newly occupied areas, after all, the security of the newly occupied areas is not as good as that of the mainland. Only a large number of battle-hardened veterans can better control it.

Of course, Wan Lei also wanted to form a virtuous cycle by doing this. 50,000 people retire every year, and these people have to be resettled in colonies. This means that the Republic of China has to expand externally every year and spend millions every year.

This is an invisible pressure and a tangible spur. No matter who comes to power in the future, they will not be able to change the basic national policy of active expansion.

It is expanding every year. If this continues for more than ten years, the colonies of the Republic of China will spread all over the Southeast Asia and even expand to the Indian Ocean. And when every piece of fertile land is covered with the national flag of the Republic of China, all over the world will

When you are a citizen of the Republic of China, no one can challenge the status of the Republic of China as the world hegemon.

"Your Majesty the President, this is the "Xiaoliuqiu Development Draft" that we have finalized. Please take a look at it." Vice Chairman Zhao Hongen of the Xiaoliuqiu Military Management Committee, who is responsible for civil affairs and economic development, presented a prepared document.

.

During the attack on Xiaoliuqiu, Wan Lei had been supervising the battle on the Penghu Islands. He already knew the customs and customs of Xiaoliuqiu Island. After scanning the document, he added: "Xiaoliuqiu is a newly occupied area. As usual, the central government will treat it

With financial support, I hope to build it within two years

A railway will be built directly from the north to the south of the island, and a cane sugar processing base will be established at the same time. Sugar cane should be planted as much as possible in places close to the central mountainous areas; tea should be grown in hilly areas. If the quality of the tea produced in Xiaoliuqiu is good enough, the central government will purchase it for the government.

Support the development of the tea industry.”

The reason why Wan Lei let the backing areas vigorously plant sugar cane was because, firstly, the climate in Xiaoliuqiu was suitable for the development of the sugar industry, and secondly, sugarcane was used as a "green gauze tent" to block the way out for the mountain natives in the central mountainous area.

You must know that sugar cane is a sugar crop, which is in short supply for the Republic of China with strong consumption power. However, for the indigenous people, these things are not suitable for eating or drinking, and it is difficult to take them away even if they are snatched.

It is useless. Moreover, sugar cane must undergo industrial processing to become table sugar. This high-tech thing is even more difficult for local indigenous people to understand.

Therefore, planting sugar cane on a large area is establishing a green blockade. Those mountain natives who want to rob must pass through this large sugar cane area. If they really dare to come out, they will only be blocked and killed by local militiamen who want to rob.

There are no things or doors. When there are more people on the island in the future, they will send a large number of troops to the island to annihilate all the natives.

"Well, I will add these items. By the way, there are many typhoons in Xiaoliuqiu. It is almost the typhoon season. Please give your Majesty a plan on how to prevent and control typhoons."

"There are indeed many typhoons in Xiaoliuqiu Island. Let's call it Taiwan Island from now on. As for how to prevent typhoons, the main thing is to build houses that are strong enough and then build houses on the back islands, especially in coastal areas. Try to build bungalows as much as possible. It is better to spend more money."

It should be built sturdier to avoid being damaged and having to be rebuilt. In addition, it rains a lot on Taiwan, so urban construction should pay attention to drainage and flood control. When building a city, try to choose high-lying places. Don't build the city into puddles just for convenience.

superior."

"My subordinate understands."

"Taiwan's climate, water and soil are different from those of the mainland. I don't ask for how fast the construction will be. The key is to develop steadily. I hope that Taiwan will become a livable land and eventually become a province of the Republic of China."

While Wan Lei and Zhao Hongen were discussing the development of Taiwan Island in detail, a Jingzhong Guard came to report that an envoy from Annan Kingdom had arrived in Guangdong and asked to see him. Wan Lei frowned, waved his hand, and asked Zhao Hongen to leave first.

Annan is a country that gives Wan Lei a headache when he mentions it. According to Wan Lei's plan, he plans to use troops against Annan in the next one or two years. However, Annan seems to have heard some rumors, and on the one hand, he is actively

To increase troops for self-defense, on the one hand, it colluded with the Burmese state and continued to provoke provocations on the borders of Yunnan and Guangxi.

But it's no wonder that Annan Kingdom is so nervous. After all, paper can't contain the fire. The Peking Army's use of troops against Japan and Taiwan has long been spread to Annan Kingdom. They are not fools. They can think of big things with their toes.

Sooner or later the Republic of China will use troops against Annan.

It is precisely out of fear of the Republic of China that Annan secretly colluded with Burma and other countries to form some small gangs. This is not a strange thing. This time, Annan sent an envoy to definitely want to use the Peking Army to invade Taiwan.
