From Propulsion City To Multiverse

The latest website: Since the Central Plains War did not break out, a battle broke out when Wang Shichong's Luoyang City was fought. The Human Revolutionary League, which had eaten so much territory and population, had to stop and digest.

According to Tang Feilin's field investigation, 14 lakes will definitely be built on the North China Plain in the lower reaches of the Yellow River.

Including the existing Daluze, Douzi Lake, and Juyeze, a total of 17 lake areas have been formed, with a total area of ​​11,000 to 18,000 square kilometers.

That is to say, the land area for returning farmland to the lake will reach 14,700 square kilometers, totaling about 22 million mu, involving millions of people.

Fortunately, after events such as warlord melee and landlords fleeing at this time, there is basically no great resistance in various places.

Moreover, the construction of these lakes is also for the agricultural development of the North China Plain.

On the one hand, these places are originally low-lying areas. Once the Yellow River breaches or diverts, the first place to be submerged will be the low-lying areas along the way.

For example, the Heluo Basin itself is low and flat. Once the Yellow River breaches, it is easy to flood the Heluo Basin.

In such low-lying areas to build cities and reclaim farmland, hundreds of thousands of people will be displaced when a flood occurs.

For example, during the Qing Dynasty, there was a tragedy in which the Yellow River burst and drowned millions of people at one time.

Now that the Human Revolutionary League has a large piece of land in the south, there is no need to smash the North China Plain. If you don’t take advantage of the current chaos to make changes, if you want to change in the future, the cost you need to pay will be even greater.

The entire North China Plain, including the Yellow River Plain, Huaihe Plain, Haihe Plain, and Luan River Delta Plain, has a total area of ​​about 280,000 square kilometers.

Excluding rivers, lakes, cities, roads and seaside saline-alkali land, the area that can be developed is about 200,000 square kilometers, totaling 300 million mu.

Based on the calculation of 10 mu per capita, the population carrying limit here is 30 million.

However, after considering many factors, as well as ecological balance and comfort, Tang Feilin, Zheng Sen and others decided to set the upper limit of the agricultural population in the North China Plain to 10 million people.

At this time, the population of this area has already exceeded this figure.

The reason why it is set to 10 million people,

The main reason is that only one crop of wheat, one crop of soybeans or sorghum can be grown in the North China Plain a year.

This is not Lingnan and Liuqiu, where you can grow three times a year, and Zheng Sen doesn't plan to farm all of them.

Of the 300 million mu of arable land, only 100 million mu, or 20 mu per capita, will be distributed to 5 million farmers.

Of the remaining 200 million mu, 100 million mu is used as a reserve and pasture; the last 100 million mu is used as an official farm for large-scale mechanized production.

Long Sha's research and development of steam machinery has been given to her students.

Now the Steam Engine Research Institute has not only launched heavy-duty steam engines with a horsepower of up to 5,000 horsepower, but also developed small and medium-sized steam engines with 200 horsepower, 500 horsepower, and 1,000 horsepower.

These steam engines cooperated with other research institutes to give birth to steam rollers, steam locomotives, steam pumps, steam cranes, steam plows, steam harvesters, steam tractors and so on. Series sub-products.

Zheng Sen's personal small-scale farming economy is actually more inclined to turn these farmers into small farmers, but the accumulation is not enough now. Large-scale mechanized agriculture can only be taken care of by government-run farms.

Therefore, only 5 million people in the North China Plain will get farmland, and the rest will either be transformed into urban population, or emigrate to other places.

After launching a large project to stabilize refugees with work relief.

Zheng Sen also quickly transported by ship, and the four Kunpeng-class airships currently in use, dropped a large number of Champa rice seeds to the villages in North China that had completed the division of fields.

It was the end of July in the lunar calendar at this time, and there were still about three months before the frost on the North China Plain.

The Champa rice seeds harvested this time are all early-maturing varieties that can be harvested in 57 to 63 days, and it is still possible to rush to plant a season.

The airships that covered the sky and the sun appeared in the sky over all parts of North China, and the popularity of the Revolutionary League in various places was rapidly deepened.

At this time, Zheng Sen finally completed the preliminary division of the newly controlled area.

Xuzhou and Huainan prefectures, which were incomplete before, have been expanded.

Then, with Luoyang as the state city, Heluo State was established;

In the middle reaches of the plain area south of the Yellow River and north of the Huaihe River, Huanghuai Prefecture was established.

Based on the plain area north of the lower reaches of the Yellow River, Jizhou was established.

Based on the old place of Youzhou, Youzhou was established.

This time four states were added.

Large-scale immigration work is also going on simultaneously.

Although the war in the Central Plains did not break out, it does not mean that the Human Revolutionary League has stopped. On the contrary, because this time 5 million people will be immigrated, Zheng Sen has already asked Baiyulou to prepare to open up other areas.

The temporary headquarters of the military department was set up in Luoyang at this time.

Bai Yulou, Song Que, Yugu and others are all here.

After receiving Zheng Sen's instructions, Bai Yulou quickly summoned all the senior officers to the meeting room.

General, do you want to attack Li Tang? Army Colonel Liu Tiedan asked eagerly.

Bai Yulou directly gave this Tie Hanhan a headache: My head is flooded. Now that the mess in North China has not been cleaned up, you want to occupy the Guanzhong Plain and Bashu?

On the contrary, Yu Gu, the commander of the Yangtze River Squadron, seems to have guessed something.

Bai Yulou didn't hold back, and cut straight to the point: The governor asked us to find an area that can be developed for immigrants, please share your opinions!

Uotani showed such an expression as expected.

The others looked at each other for a while, and then looked at the big sand table in Zhongzhou.

The whole of Central Continent is the Asia of later generations.

If you want to immigrate on a large scale, the best areas are naturally the plain areas along the coast and along the river.

In addition to the southeast coast, Liuqiu State, and Luzon State that have been developed, the areas that can be targeted now are the Indochina Peninsula, the Nanyang Islands, and the Liaodong Great Plain.

As for other continents, everyone didn't think about it. Now that they don't even eat the land at their doorstep, they want to go to South Africa (Oceania), East Africa (North America), Senzhou (South America), West Africa (Africa) and other places , that is simply chasing after the end.

Song Que thought for a while: How about Borneo in the Nanyang Islands? The area is large enough.

But Wang Qian, the staff officer, shook his head: Borneo is full of tropical rain forests, and the land is very barren. Only a part of the area can be developed, and it is not suitable for large-scale immigration.

Song Que pointed to the big island on the easternmost side of the Nanyang Islands and said, What about Haikunlun Island?

It's also difficult to develop there. Apart from the tropical rainforest, there are high mountains. Wang Qian shook his head helplessly.

These two large islands are not suitable, so everyone can only turn their targets to other islands in the Nanyang Islands and the Indochina Peninsula.

Wang Qian continued: Although the coastal plains of Linyi Kingdom are good, they have a large population. According to the data returned by the black guards, the local population is around 300,000 to 400,000. This place is yet to be determined.

What about Funan Kingdom? Yugu asked.

Funan has a population of 1.2 to 1.4 million, but many of the population in their territory are small tribes of small chieftains. In addition, their affiliated forces, the two tribes of Chenla, also have a population of 300,000 to 400,000.

Yugu said with some regret: It's a pity that the middle and lower reaches of the Lancang River and the Chao Phraya River valley plain.

The Human Revolutionary Federation is not the kind of force that likes to exterminate genocide. If it chooses to occupy the Indochina Peninsula, the areas that can be developed along the coast and along the river can accommodate a population of 2 to 3 million at most.

However, the local aboriginal population needs to be properly dealt with. Valley

Now the population of the Central Plains is a headache for Zheng Sen. In a short time, he does not want to annex these areas with huge populations.

Suddenly Song Que pointed to the Nanxi Peninsula (Malay Peninsula) on the southernmost side of the Indochina Peninsula: How about the Luoyue Kingdom, the Geluo Kingdom, and the Geguluo Kingdom?

Wang Qian found information about these three small countries, and found that the population of these three small countries is not large. In fact, to say that they are small countries is already flattering them.

Geguluo Kingdom is near the Kela Isthmus, with a population of about 8,000 people.

Luo Yue Kingdom is in the southernmost part near the Strait of Malacca, with a population of about 20,000.

Geluo country between Luoyue and Geguluo has a population of over 10,000.

Wang Qian put down the intelligence document: The total population of the Nancy Peninsula is less than 40,000, but the coastal plain area can accommodate a population of 500,000. In addition, there are not a few tin mines in this area. I suggest it as the target of annexation.

Yugu scratched his head: There is still a gap of 4.5 million people from the land with a population of 5 million.

The Highland Island in the south of Luzon State, together with the Big Island of Luzon, should be able to accommodate 800,000 people, which is still 3.7 million people short. Wang Qian divided another group of people away.

In other words, they must take more regions.

Another staff officer said: Although Jinzhou Island is not suitable for large-scale reclamation, the coastal area can still accommodate a population of 1 million. Even if the three small countries have a population of 300,000 to 400,000, I think this area still has potential for development.

Jinzhou Island is Sumatra Island.

Song Que directly suggested: Then just take the three small countries on Borneo and Heling Island together, it should be enough.

After discussing for a long time, everyone finally discussed a specific plan.

Bai Yulou also followed suit, preparing to reorganize the current navy and army.

The current naval force is 85,000 people, divided into the Yangtze River Squadron, the East China Sea First Squadron, the East China Sea Second Squadron, the Liuqiu Squadron, the Lingnan Squadron, and the Luzon Squadron.

The army has gradually expanded to 350,000 people.

Bai Yulou plans to divide the navy into the local fleet, the Nanyang fleet, and the Beiyang fleet.

As for the Inland River Fleet, at least maintain the current Yangtze River Squadron. After all, the Inland River Fleet has no enemies at all. Although Li Tang can go down the Three Gorges, the problem is that they don't have the guts.

The local fleet will include the South China Sea Squadron, East China Sea Squadron, Bohai Sea Squadron, and Liuqiu Squadron.

The Nanyang Fleet includes the Luzon Squadron and the Nanyang Squadron, and the home port is planned to be built along the coast of the Strait of Malacca.

The Beiyang Fleet has not yet been formally established, but it has such an establishment. Its defense areas are the Whale Sea, the Dongying Islands and other areas, and the home port is planned to be built on the Dongying Islands.

The reorganization of the army is actually not too big. It is just that some personnel adjustments have been made to the current 70 corps, and then several military branches have been established.

Including Northern Branch, Central Plains Branch, Jianghuai Branch, Jianghan Branch, Lingnan Branch, and Nanyang Branch.

In addition, the airship is directly under the military headquarters, which belongs to the sequence of the flying corps, and is not under the jurisdiction of the navy and army.

In fact, Song Que and others knew very well that with the appearance of airships and other aircraft, the air force would sooner or later become an independent combat system.

Just after the preliminary adjustment of these establishments.

Although the Nanyang Fleet and a part of the local fleet will go to Nanyang as the main force, the local fleet does not have many enemies at this time.

Although Silla, Baekje, Goguryeo, and Wa had some warships, these ships were just small wooden boats in front of the navy.

Bai Yulou planned to find something for the local fleet to do.

...

In the port of Keelung, the Liuqiu Squadron of 3 steam warships was in service. At this time, it already had 9 steam warships and 36 large wooden sailing ships.

Fleet commander Li Feng, and the former preacher Wang Zhong quickly summoned the sailors in the military port.

Amidst the sound of the horn, many sailors hurriedly picked up their rifles and backpacks and ran towards the assembly playground.

Although there were not many decent enemies encountered, the internal training of the navy has not slackened.

More than half an hour later, 9 steamships left Keelung Port alone, and no sailing warships followed.

In fact, the Roaring-class steam warship with a displacement of 1,800 tons is almost invincible in this era. As long as it does not encounter bad weather or a large-scale fire ship siege, basically no one can defeat this fleet.

The mission Li Feng, Wang Zhong and others received was to capture Ryukyu, Danluo, and Tsushima in the northeast of Liuqiu Island, and then build bastions and supply ports on them.

As for the several small countries on the island, they were naturally included in the rule and rescued them from the darkness.

The 9 steam warships did not start the steam engine because it was not necessary.

At this time, they entered the Kuroshio Current of the Pacific Gyre—the Tsushima Warm Current, and rushed northeastward with the wind and water.

In the accelerating direction of ocean currents and monsoons, the speed of the warship reaches about 15 knots. It is a waste of fuel to turn on the steam engine at this time.

The battleship painted with black anti-corrosion paint rushed towards Nanshan Kingdom in the Ryukyu Islands like a speeding arrow.

At this time, the Ryukyu Islands were not unified. The so-called Ryukyu Kingdom was actually just a small country on Naha Island in the central part. The entire archipelago was divided into three small countries.

The steam fleet speeding all the way soon appeared near Nanshan Island in Nanshan Kingdom.

The little king of Nanshan Island is actually just a village head. After all, the combined population of the small islands he rules is only over a thousand.

Li Feng just fired a cannon, and made the opponent kneel down and beg for mercy.

Then he didn't stop, leaving a steam warship and 230 sailors on board, and asked these soldiers to organize the islanders to build ports and bastions.

In the same way, Ryukyu Country, Beishan Country, Danluo Country, and Tsushima Country were all quickly controlled by Li Feng. After all, they were all small villages with a population of several thousand, and they were simply vulnerable.

However, when occupying Tsushima Island, the local Japanese were very rebellious. The Tsushima daimyo led hundreds of young men to try to resist, and then they were directly wiped out under the attack of artillery.

Known as the Black Ship Incident in history.

For these rebellious Japanese, Li Feng simply took more than half of the island's population to Danluo Island by steamboat, and brought more than a thousand Danluo people from Danluo Island, initially diluting the aborigines here.

It's just that as time went by, the forces on both sides of Tsushima Island also discovered the actions of the Human Revolutionary League, which made them turn pale with shock.

For example, the Suzerain of Tsushima Island, Japan, and the Silla people who have been coveting this island have discovered the abnormality of Tsushima Island through nearby fishermen.

As the core of the Tsushima Strait, no matter which force occupies this island, it is a fatal threat to the Lelang Peninsula and the Dongying Islands.

The first Japanese country, who couldn't help but make a move, immediately mobilized hundreds of small wooden boats, rushing over in a dense mass.

Boom boom boom...

The artillery positions set up in the mountains quickly fired at the small wooden boats approaching the port.

And in the port, the only steam battleship also spewed black smoke and fired at the small wooden boat that came.

Facing such a terrible weapon for the first time, these uncivilized Japanese people were terrified. After one third of the wooden boat was destroyed, they finally couldn't bear it anymore and fled back.

The Silla people who originally wanted to take advantage of it were suddenly too frightened to approach Tsushima Island.
