    ps: I recommend the new book "Super Ambiguous Master", which will be released on September 1st. I hope you will come and support it.

    There are more than 200 large and small indigenous tribes on Yizhou Island. The large tribes have thousands of people, and the small tribes have hundreds of people. The total number is nearly 100,000.  After these 100,000 people surrendered to the official army, they became one of the main forces for the official army to build Yizhou instead of being a resistance.

    Lu Bu really didn¡¯t want the tragedy to happen when the Spaniards conquered the American continent when the Han people conquered Yizhou. Now that they have accepted Yizhou more peacefully, he is very happy.

    Lu Bu couldn't help laughing when he thought of something. You know, these aborigines are the ancestors of Taiwan's aborigines in later generations. Zhang Huimei is also an aborigine. He regards these aborigines as the ancestors of Zhang Huimei, a singer that Lu Bu likes very much. He imagined  These natives were singing "The continuous green mountains are hundreds of miles long, towering like barriers, the green mountains penetrate the sky, and the sky is pale with white clouds." Lu Bu couldn't help laughing, and he felt much more relaxed.  .

    Yizhou, Lu Bu got angry when he mentioned this name. He didn¡¯t know who named it. This word ¡°Yi¡± was a discriminatory word. How could he explain it to the conscious natives in the future? Lu Bu ordered Zhou Yu and He Qi to issue an edict.  Instructing everyone on Yizhou Island and around Penghu, Yizhou was officially renamed "Taiwan" on the day when Zhou Yu's navy arrived in Chiayi.

    Zhou Yu¡¯s navy arrived in Chiayi on the seventh day of August in 201 AD. This day was designated as Taiwan Island¡¯s Freedom Day. From now on, all residents on Taiwan Island would have a holiday on this day every year and could enjoy the carnival.  Moreover, from this point on, all place names on the island of Taiwan are based on the map drawn by Lu Bu.

    Taiwan is too big, and the manpower of the government and army is seriously insufficient, even with the indigenous people who voluntarily rely on help.  Taiwan cannot be fully developed at once; construction can only be started bit by bit.

    Lu Bu once again asked the Government Affairs Council to issue a summons. Those who are willing to go to Taiwan can be allocated fifty acres of wasteland, tax-free for three years, and after three years, they will have the opportunity to receive rewards ranging from one gold to one hundred gold based on their grain output.

    Lu Bu believed that those indigenous tribes would become part of the Chinese nation in later generations, and he did not want to be as harsh on them as he was on the Goryeo Bangzi and Japanese Japanese Japs, so he did not forcibly capture them into serfs, but slowly used religion, economy, and culture to  to assimilate them.  Naturally, there were no serfs to distribute to the new immigrants to Taiwan.

    ¡°However, for many Han Chinese who are willing to leave their hometown and come to Taiwan, if they stay in their hometown and rely on the more than ten acres of land allocated to them by the government, they will have enough food, clothing and clothing, but they will not have any chance of wealth.  They missed two opportunities in Beidahuang and Korea Peninsula. They don't want to miss this opportunity to develop Taiwan Island. Apart from other things, fifty acres of land is still next. The key is the bounty in three years.  If you can get one hundred gold.  One hundred pounds of gold is equivalent to about one million dollars. With a sudden transformation, you become a rich man.  Such conditions are a huge temptation for many young adults, especially those who are not married.

    Over the past few years, nearly 200,000 Han people have arrived from Jiaozhou, Yangzhou, Xuzhou, Qingzhou and other places, and most of them are young and middle-aged men.  Some people brought their families with them, and they thought that this time the land would be divided according to head.  If you bring more family members, you can get more land. Of course, more people's families are unwilling to leave their hometowns with them.

    Immigrants who go to the Northern Wilderness and the Korean Peninsula to develop can get women from Goguryeo, Buyeo, Baekje, and Sanhan as wives and concubines. With women, they can take root there. Lu Bu also wanted to provide for Taiwan-Wan Island.  The young immigrants considered this issue, so he asked Qin Yi's ocean-going navy and Bu Fan's intelligence organization to cooperate closely to continue the ocean-going slave trade, especially the female slave trade, that had lasted for ten years, including Tianzhu, Southeast Islands,  Women from Japan and other places, and even from the Roman Empire, were transported to Taiwan Island in various ways, and were selected first by regular soldiers stationed on Taiwan Island, and then by immigrants with good farming performance. They were selected one by one according to the performance of each person.  , it wasn¡¯t until every man had a woman that the female slave trade turned elsewhere.

    In addition, these immigrants can also marry local indigenous women. In order to help the local indigenous people integrate into the Han nation faster, Lu Bu also strongly encouraged such intermarriage.

    A few years later, there were nearly 500,000 people on the island of Taiwan. Taiwan was temporarily set up as a county, and Gu Yong was appointed as the prefect of Taiwan County, and He Qi was also the captain of Taiwan County.

    At the beginning of Gu Yong's rule in Taiwan, he clearly realized that the tasks assigned to him by Lu Bu were different from those in the past. He wrote back to Lu Bu and said, "The way to rule Taiwan is to have enough food. The soil in Taiwan is thick and the springs are sweet, and the fertile soil has not yet been developed."  , we should use the method of integrating soldiers with farmers, so that the common people can have enough food."

    In Taiwan at that time, there were patches of barren grass in the plains and basins, and there were only a few indigenous tribes in the mountains. These indigenous people usually made a living by fishing and hunting, and were not used to farming. They had completely abandoned the large fertile fields mainly in the Tainan Plain, but they were taking advantage of it.  The officers and soldiers coveted these fertile lands.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Gu Yong?Twenty-two people are engaged in mining. Some go to Ruifang and Jinguashi areas to mine gold, silver, copper and other precious metals. The gold reserves in this area are nearly five to six million tons, no less than Jiaodong. Some go to Datun Mountain.  Go mine natural sulfur, which is the place with the largest natural sulfur reserves in China, and then choose a place to make black gunpowder; then send some people to Hualien's Toyota and Xilin areas to mine bluestone, cat's eye, jade and other jade, where the jade reserves are 60  Thousands of tons, Taiwan jade became world-famous in later generations.

    Allocate another 100,000 people to build cities, first building simple residential buildings, then building military fortresses such as Tamsui, Taipei, and Keelung. Then, they will gradually assist the navy in building various ports, build military fortresses at strategic points in the ports, and then gradually build large cities and formal residential buildings.  .

    Because the income from mining and building cities was higher than that from farming, and it was done with their consent, the immigrants had no complaints.

    The remaining 70% of the immigrants and some of the natives who were willing to learn farming techniques from the immigrants began to work in the fields.  Everyone can be allocated fifty acres of wasteland, which is of course a mixture of good land and bad land. The seeds and farming tools are provided by the government. They are tax-free for the first three years, but they need to return the seeds, farming tools, and the rental fees for the cattle. After three years,  Just hand over 10% of your harvest.

    Most of the fertile land is planted with rice, while other areas that are not suitable for growing rice are planted with sugar cane, sesame, mung beans, and medicinal materials. The remaining bad fields in the mountains are not wanted, so they are opened up for military settlements.

    He Qi selected 50,000 people from the immigrants to form county soldiers and formed the Taiwan Guard Army. He also equipped a brigade of regular troops as officers of the guard force, 30,000 army and 20,000 navy, responsible for Taiwan Island,  The armaments of the Penghu Islands and Diaoyu Islands, and the Ryukyu Islands were garrisoned by Zhou Yu¡¯s Donghai Division.

    In this way, Zhou Yu's Donghai Navy conquered all coastal islands from Zhoushan to Xiamen through frequent campaigns, reorganized all the pirates along the coast, and turned the long and winding coastline into a safe lifeline from Xuzhou to Taiwan. Then Zhou Yu  He also captured Yizhou Island, and later followed Lu Bu's decree and changed the name of Yizhou Island to Taiwan-Wan Island.

    After Zhou Yu occupied Taiwan and its nearby small islands, Lu Bu ordered him to attack the Ryukyu Islands.

    Starting from the Ryukyu Islands, Zhou Yu took over the small islands near Taiwan in a counterclockwise direction. At the same time, he successively built ports such as Anping, Kaohsiung, Taitung, Hualien, Suao, and Keelung, plus the originally built Lukang and Taichung ports.  , Hsinchu, Tamsui and other ports, the ports on Taiwan Island have been basically repaired.

    Zhou Yu also successively captured the coastal islands such as Liuqiu Island, Qixingyan, Lanyu, Green Island, Guishan Island, Huaping Island, Mianmian Island, Pengjia Island, etc., and stationed a company of troops there for garrison and a small amount of farming to dry salt.  .

    After capturing Pengjia Island, Zhou Yu returned to Keelung Port for a short rest, then headed east to attack the Ryukyu Islands.

    At this time, Ryukyu was very similar to Taiwan.  On Ryukyu Island, various indigenous chiefs each rule a small piece of land.  These indigenous tribes attacked each other and fought endlessly.  On Ryukyu Island, a tribal chief has an area the size of a few villages, with at most two to three thousand people, all of whom are related by blood.  Each tribe had many old grudges and would not support each other. Zhou Yu could easily attack each village one by one.

    At this time, the total number of tribes on the Ryukyu Islands was no more than 20,000 to 30,000. Because these natives later established a country independent of China, Lu Bu was very jealous of them, so he ordered Zhou Yu to capture them on the spot and take them all to Taiwan.  Bay to work as a slave miner.  Then some residents along the coast of Fujian were moved to the Ryukyu Islands, so that these people who knew that their ruler was Lu Bu could cultivate this area. At the same time, the Ryukyu Islands were already a military base for Zhou Yu's Donghai Navy.

    Zhou Yu flew a pigeon to report to Lu Bu: They have captured the island chain of the Ryukyu Islands. The names of some islands are too unfamiliar, so please help the emperor correct them.

    Lu Bu got Zhou Yu's letter and looked at the map drawn on it. It seemed that Zhou Yu had occupied all the island chains from "Yonaguni Island" to "Amami Oshima" in later generations.

    Lu Bu happily changed the names of all the islands named by later Japanese small countries to names that the Chinese people understood and were very happy about. "Yonaguni Island" was changed to "Pingday Island", "Iriomote Island" was changed to "Tanni Island", "Ishigaki Island"  "Island" was changed to "Owajima Island", "Miyakojima" was changed to "Owajima Island", "Okinawa Island" was changed to "Okinawa Island", "Tokunoshima" was changed to "Hirawajima Island", "Amami"  "Big Island" was changed to "Miewodao", and many other islands were named after Zhou Yu and senior naval officers below. For example, "Xijie Island" was renamed "Zhou Yu Island". At the same time, Dong Dong Island near the Koryo Peninsula  Dong Xi also started an island naming activity, but since the original name of Goryeo Bangzi was not much different from that of China, there were not many changes, and he did not use too many insulting names. He just used some nameless islands to name Dong Xi's Bohai Sea.  Senior officers of the Navy do the naming honors.

    He Qi divided 10,000 soldiers from the East Sea Navy to form an ocean-going navy, and another 10,000-person ocean-going navy wasFor friendship, Qin Yi took the American route, and He Qi took the European route.  Lu Bu later handed over the Yangtze River Navy and the Yellow River Navy to general generals, and sent all the former navy generals to the sea. Dong Xi and Jiang Qin became Zhou Yu's deputy generals, forming a 30,000-strong Donghai Navy. Zhou Tai  , Ling Cao served as Lu Dai's adjutant, forming a navy of 30,000 men in the South China Sea, and Lu Meng served as Gan Ning's adjutant, managing a navy of 20,000 men in the Bohai Sea.

    Lu Bu ensured that the Chinese Empire's navy numbered 100,000 and could firmly control the Pacific Rim.
