Yes, the Dutch needed a decent reason for surrender.

After learning about the distribution of the power of the eleven Dutch strongholds, Su Buheng drew soldiers from the Nanyang Infantry Brigade and divided them into eleven teams to go to the strongholds of the Dutch.

Su Buheng met the needs of the Dutch and forged the letter from the governor of Batavia, although every Dutch stronghold saw that it was a fake letter.

But after they learned from the prisoners released by the First Fleet that Batavia had fallen, they pretended to be confused and surrendered to the First Fleet in accordance with the orders in the letter.

Surrender is a shame.

No one is willing to surrender, because if he returns to the country, he will be despised by others. But since the governor ordered the surrender, they just need to move the governor out as a shield.

Eleven Dutch strongholds surrendered one after another within two months, and the Nanyang Infantry Brigade divided half of its strength, and each stronghold sent an average of 500 soldiers to defend.

The farthest stronghold is Sri Lanka, which is the Dutch cinnamon trading point. Previously, cinnamon has been monopolized by Portugal.

When Su Buheng learned that Sri Lanka had five Dutch warships, he sent five warships to Sri Lanka. It was necessary to establish a stronghold in Sri Lanka, because the north is India and can serve as a springboard for trade with India.

Su Buheng stayed in Batavia personally and met with the Chinese in the Indonesian archipelago. There were many Chinese on the Indonesian archipelago. When the First Fleet arrived here, the Chinese on each island received the news and sent representatives with enough reputation to meet the king.

The king of Java who maintained his rule was still there for the time being. The king of Indonesia learned that it was the Ming army that drove away the Dutch, and eagerly thanked Su Buheng for regaining his territory for him. As a result, Su Buheng kicked to the ground and stomped on his head and cursed: "Damn it, get out."

When meeting the Indonesian Chinese, Su Buheng first asked how many Chinese there were somewhere, and then sent soldiers from different soldiers to protect their safety.

The Indonesian Chinese seemed to be in a dream, but suddenly the king called in, and the majority of the Chinese taxes were reduced and only one commercial tax was left.

As for the taxes of local indigenous people, under the pressure of Su Buheng, the King of Java added several miscellaneous taxes to various taxes issued by the Dutch.

In the control of Java Island, the king of Java is still used to control various tribes. At the same time, second-line soldiers were recruited from Java Chinese, and weapons were sent for training, preparing to gradually clean up Indonesian natives on Java Island.

Zhao Yan, who came from later generations, was one of the objects of his hatred the most, and he also hated the most. Since the Indonesian military ruled in the 1960s, the Indonesian regime began to expel China on a large scale. They massacred more than 500,000 Chinese under the name of "Qing Communist Party". By 1998, Indonesian anti-Chinese chaos began again, with thousands of Chinese killed, and Chinese on Java Island were often the first to bear the brunt.

In 1998, there were nearly 5,000 forced anti-China tragedies in Indonesia, with nearly 5,000 violent annihilations against Chinese women. On average, 100 cases occurred in Jakarta every day, and children were fried and eaten by them.

The Chinese nation’s bloody and tears history in Southeast Asia is terrible.

Since Zhao Yan has come to this era, he naturally has to settle the accounts in advance. Therefore, before Su Buheng set out, Zhao Yan told him that all the indigenous people in Southeast Asia would be cleaned up in the future.

But when there are not so many immigrants for the time being, clean up some of them first and then clean up most of them.

Su Buheng planted more than 10,000 rubber trees in Batavia. These rubber trees were planted in Shandong two years ago and have grown into saplings.

After Shandong, more than 100,000 seeds were planted one after another, and rubber trees were transported back from the Americas every year. These rubber trees had to be transplanted to heat after they grew into saplings.

Although rubber trees can grow in the cold zone, they cannot secrete rubber when they grow up.

In order to facilitate management, Su Buheng has designated eight Chinese gathering areas in Batavia and surrounding areas, and at the same time calls on Chinese people on Java to gather in Chinese gathering areas.

The names of Batavia and Java are not good. Su Buheng sent a flying scissor boat back to Shandong to ask what name Zhao Yan would change, and requested to transfer a batch of muskets to equip the local Chinese.

Su Buheng stayed in Batavia for a month, stabilizing the situation on Java Island. Many Chinese from all over the country came to designated settlements to make a living.

All Chinese who come to the settlement area will be given 300 acres of land per household. Is there any worry about whether there is any land?

Han Sheng and his soldiers cleared around Batavia for a few days, destroyed more than a dozen indigenous tribes, and obtained the land. The Chinese who operated plantations on Java also ran to the settlement area.

There are nearly 50,000 Chinese in Java.

This colony will develop better, but there will be nothing Su Buheng will do. At most three months, the governor of Java will come to take office.

After the arrival of the Governor of Java, a comprehensive cleaning of Java will be carried out.

Currently, there are four Islamic countries in Java, and currently only West Java is under control, and there are three Islamic countries in the east. The main task of the Nanyang Infantry Brigade is to clear out these Nanyang natives.

After the removal, labor is not a problem, just immigrate from the Ming Dynasty.

In the Dutch stronghold, the First Fleet successively captured more than 60 merchant ships, which were enough to serve as immigration tasks.

The goods obtained from merchant ships and strongholds reached about 20 million taels, which was a big income. The warships captured ten ships at Dayuan Port and had already headed to the shipyard in Songjiang for assembly.

After destroying the Dutch strongholds, Su Buheng withdrew most of the troops from most of the strongholds. With the current forces of the Nanyang Infantry Brigade, it is impossible to spread such a vast area, and we must concentrate our efforts to deal with the indigenous people on Java Island.

Anyway, there are not so many merchant ships coming to trade everywhere now, and those strongholds are currently dispensable. If one or two hundred people are left there, there will generally not be too big problems if the locals are not oppressed.

After solving the Dutch stronghold, Su Buheng began to prepare to attack the Strait of Malacca controlled by the Portuguese, conquered Malacca, and then controlled the remaining channels. It would be impossible for Europeans to slip into East Asia from the west.

...At this time, the first division of Mongolia began to divide the troops into two groups, and some of them repeatedly swept the south and north of the desert. They swept the Mongolian tribes that did not surrender.

The other part was in the west with Lu Xiangsheng's 50,000 Xuan soldiers and horses.

Officials sent from Shandong quickly managed Mongolian tribes. The management method of Mongolian tribes was very simple. First, all weapons were confiscated and the grassland area for the tribe to grazed was delineated.

Each tribe has a yamen to manage it, and a certain number of soldiers are equipped to keep these weapons-free Mongolians at peace.

After the Mongol army surrendered, the allied tribes were very at ease and surrendered. The confiscation of weapons progressed smoothly, while the knives used by the Mongols to slaughter cattle and sheep were managed in a centralized manner.

In this way, the Mongols had no weapons and were much easier to manage, and they also further confiscated horses.

All these horses are managed in a centralized manner. The Mongols can usually ride when they go out to grazing, but that number is really not enough to arm the young and strong tribes.

The weapons and horses were confiscated, and most of the young and powerful Mongolians were recruited into the army.

A total of 30,000 people were recruited in the entire northern Mo, and the previous 90,000 people were organized into the combat ranks from 120,000 Mongols, forming a huge cavalry legion with the four cavalry battalions of the First Division, and then swept across the western Mo.

Each cavalry brigade has brought 30,000 Mongolian cavalry, and the mobilization of the western desert is simply a mighty one, which has risen to a strategic mobilization.

Liu Heng drew a line on the map, and the cavalry brigade lined up from this line and then swept over. With so many troops, it was easy to sweep away the desert and western Mongolia.

Those tribes that had not surrendered were killed by men who were higher than the wheels according to the customs of the Mongolians. Those who surrendered would stay in the army until they died.

If the Mongols wanted to rebel, they would basically be strangled in the cradle under strict guarding. The reporting system was also introduced among the Mongols. If anyone found that there were any evil deeds, they could report it. The reward was very generous, ranging from hundreds to tens of thousands of sheep.

Even if all the Mongolians understand where the Shandong Army is cannon fodder, they will be exterminated if they continue to fight like this, there will always be traitors, and there will be no doubt about this.

After normal combat, the Mongols' weapons were confiscated.

The Mongols who had surrendered had no choice. Although they were reluctant to hand over their weapons and horses, they seemed to fall into the quagmire, sinking deeper and weaker, unable to extricate themselves.

Immigration to Mongolia also continued. In three months, 100,000 households immigrated to Mongolia, all concentrated in the southern desert area dominated by Hetao.

The Mongolian tribes in the south of the desert have basically been eliminated, and the entire southern desert is under control. The captured cattle, sheep and Mongolian women are also under management and begin to grazle on the vast grasslands in the south of the desert.

A total of 5.6 million sheep, 2.3 million cattle, and 1.8 million horses were captured, and the number of horses was still rising.

The rising horses were mainly confiscated from the northern desert and the horses obtained from the mopping of the western desert.

The fur market in Zhangjiakou flourished again as the Ministry of Commerce auctioned the tanning workshops. Not all the Shanxi merchants who were confiscated were found, and those who were not involved in it flocked to the fur market again.

With the opening of Mobei and the West, the source of fur has become more and more. At the same time, as Denglai Bank opened loan business in Zhangjiakou, Shanxi merchants did not need to worry about funds and mortgaged their real estate at home, and they could immediately get the money. At the same time, Denglai Bank began to open branches to the trade points in Mobei and Moxi, and merchants only needed to bring silver notes, which was very convenient.

In addition to Shanxi merchants pouring into Mongolia, Shandong merchants also poured into Mongolia with their army.

Many merchants follow the army to do business. When the army grabs something and sells it, they directly pay to buy it. They also take on part of the supply needed by the army.

In addition to what the logistics department wants, some merchants will also write what the logistics department does not say wants. If you buy it correctly, you can make a payment.

For example, a Shandong merchant transported many raincoats to Mongolia, but they were all purchased, and the price was several times higher than the cost. With the arrival of summer, the watermelon began to ripen. A Shandong merchant transported more than 100,000 kilograms of watermelon to Mongolia, but was bought by soldiers from various battalions.

There are restrictions on goods sold to soldiers, and messy things cannot be sold, and fruits are the only few categories that are not restricted.

Soldiers usually have some pocket money, and when they are fighting outside, they won’t care about such a little money when they encounter something they like.

When the merchant behind him transported a lot of watermelons, he naturally bought them all.

Those Shandong businessmen also began to learn to do fur business, and wool was generally not available. Zhao Quan asked people from the Commercial Department to come to Mongolia to collect wool, and textile factories could handle wool.

The Ministry of Commerce did not involve too much fur, but cowhide was all needed. If the cowhide was taken back, it could be made into leather armor, belts, leather boots and other equipment needed by soldiers.

After the Shandong merchants bought the skin, they sold it to the tannery workshop in Zhangjiakou. Most of the tannery factories in Zhangjiakou were bought by Shandong merchants.

At present, the merchants in Shandong are no longer the original Shandong merchants. The current Shandong merchants are very complicated, and they are from all over the Ming Dynasty.

Since Shandong's development, many business opportunities have emerged in Shandong. Many businessmen outside Shandong have gone to Shandong to develop. At the same time, some small vendors in Shandong have also made money. With the support of interest-free loans, the current scale of Shandong merchants is much larger than before, and they have business in all industries, but as long as they have money, there are opportunities to make money everywhere.

The construction industry is the most rapidly developing in Shandong. Zhao Yan has been repairing projects for many years. At the same time, the people of Shandong continue to build new houses, and the construction industry is developing rapidly.

There have been more than 30 cement plants. The production technology of these cement plants is the same as that of Zhao Yan's cement plants. However, these cement plants are constantly renovating cement formulas. Although the R&D power cannot be compared with the Denglai Cement Plant, the development momentum is very strong, which is what Zhao Yan is happy to see.

The Shandong engineering team had just undertaken the water conservancy project of the cabinet, and Shandong merchants immediately ran to the construction site to open a factory. They knew that Zhao Yan was unwilling to transport cement from Shandong to too far away. After all, the cost was relatively high, so as long as the quality was passed, the price would be lower, and the construction team would purchase it.

However, the price of Denglai Cement Factory has suddenly dropped recently, which many businessmen did not expect. After inquiring, they found out that Denglai Cement Factory used steam engines for production.

Those cement factories also hurried to order steam engines, and the steam engine manufacturing plants, which injected new financial resources, expanded their production scale again.

After several months of construction, the steam engine production line is almost the same. Using steam engines and machine tools to produce steam engine parts is the core research direction.

What steam engine manufacturers want is better, more precise machine tools, faster and lower-cost production technology. In a few months, many components have determined the steam engine production line.

Those who have not been confirmed will be produced manually first, but there are only a few more people. With orders from those merchants, the manufacturer has enough money to recruit people.

Mongolia's business opportunities are not only that. With the increase of immigration, Mongolia's business opportunities have also begun to increase. In addition to doing business with the military logistics department and soldiers, they can also do immigration business.

Of course, when doing business in Mongolia, it is necessary to pay taxes.

In the territory controlled by Zhao Yan, stealing commercial tax is a serious matter. If you are caught, you will definitely be punished to death. Basically, few businessmen are willing to evade taxes.
