From Propulsion City To Multiverse

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

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

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

In other words, the land area for returning farmland to lakes should reach 14,700 square kilometers, totaling about 22 million mu, involving millions of people.

Fortunately, after events such as warlord melee, landlords fleeing, etc., there was 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 its course, the first place to be submerged is the low-lying areas along the way.

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

Building cities and reclaiming farmland in such low-lying areas will cause hundreds of thousands of people to be displaced in a flood.

For example, during the Qing Dynasty, the Yellow River burst and drowned millions of people at one time.

Now that the People's Revolutionary Federation has a large area of ​​land in the south, there is no need to die on the North China Plain. If it does not take advantage of the current chaos to make changes, it will cost more to make changes in the future.

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

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

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

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

At this time, the population of this area has exceeded this number.

The reason why the population is set at 10 million is mainly because the North China Plain can only grow one crop of wheat, soybean or sorghum a year.

This is not a place like Lingnan and Liuqiu that can be cooked three times a year, and Zheng Sen doesn't plan to sell all the fields.

Of the 300 million mu of arable land, only 100 million mu, or 20 mu of arable land per capita, is allocated to 5 million farmers.

Of the remaining 200 million mu, 100 million mu are reserved and used as pastures; the last 100 million mu are used as official farms for large-scale mechanized production.

Longsa's research and development in steam machinery has been handed over to her students.

Now the Steam Engine Research Institute has not only launched a heavy-duty steam engine with a horsepower of up to 5,000 horsepower, but also developed small and medium-sized steam engines of 200 horsepower, 500 horsepower, and 1000 horsepower.

These steam engines have cooperated with other research institutes to give birth to a "steam roller", "steam locomotive", "steam pump", "steam crane", "steam engine plow", "steam harvester", "steam tractor", etc. series of sub-products.

Zheng Sen actually prefers to turn these farmers into small farmers for his personal smallholder economy, but the accumulation is not enough now, and large-scale mechanized agriculture can only be handled by government-run farms.

As a result, only 5 million people in the North China Plain will gain farmland, and the rest will either convert to urban populations or emigrate to other places.

After launching a major project to stabilize refugees with food-for-work.

Zheng Sen also quickly used shipping, as well as the four Kunpeng-class airships currently in use, to release a large number of Champaign rice seeds to the villages in North China where the fields have been divided.

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

The Champaign rice seeds harvested this time are all early-maturing varieties that can be harvested in 57 to 63 days.

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

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

The previously incomplete Xuzhou and Huainan prefectures have been expanded.

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

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

Jizhou was established in the plain area north of the lower Yellow River.

Based on the hometown 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 did not mean that the People's Revolutionary Federation had stopped. On the contrary, because this time 5 million people were to be immigrated, Zheng Sen had already made Baiyulou 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 and came to the conference room.

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

Bai Yulou directly gave this Tie Hanhan a head-scratcher: "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, Yugu, the commander of the Yangtze River Squadron, seems to have guessed something.

Baiyulou didn't sell anything, just straight to the point: "The Governor asked us to find an area for the immigrants to develop, please give your opinions!"

Yugu showed such an expression as expected.

The others looked at each other for a while, then looked at the large sand table in Central Continent.

The whole of Middle-earth is the Asia of later generations.

If large-scale immigration is to be expected, the best areas are naturally the plains 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 Indo-China Peninsula, the Nanyang Islands, and the Liaodong Great Plain.

As for other continents, everyone didn't think about it, and now they didn't even eat the land at their doorstep, so they wanted to go to Nanzhou (Oceania), Dongzhou (North America), Senzhou (South America), Xizhou (Africa) and other places , that is simply chasing the bottom line.

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

But the staff officer Wang Qian shook his head: "Borneo is full of tropical rain forests, the land is very barren, and only some areas can be developed, which 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 Kunlun Island?"

"It's also difficult to develop there. Except for the tropical rain forest, there are mountains." Wang Qian shook his head helplessly.

These two large islands are not suitable, so everyone can only turn to other islands in the Nanyang Islands and the Indo-China Peninsula.

Wang Qian continued: "Although the coastal plains of Linyi Country are good, their population is quite large. According to the data returned by the Black-clothed Guards, the local population is around 300,000 to 400,000. This place is to be determined for the time being."

"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 toast tribes, and their affiliated forces, the two Zhenla tribes, 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 People's Revolutionary League is not the kind of force that likes genocide. If it chooses to occupy the Indo-China Peninsula, the areas along the coast and rivers that can be developed can accommodate a maximum of 2 to 3 million people.

But the local aboriginal population needs to be properly dealt with. Guben

The population of the Central Plains is now a headache for Zheng Sen. In a short period of time, he does not want to annex these hugely populated areas.

Suddenly Song Que pointed to the southernmost Nancy Peninsula (Malay Peninsula) of the Indo-China Peninsula: "How about Luoyue, Geluo, and Geguluo?"

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

Goguluo is located near the Isthmus of Kra, with a population of about 8,000 people.

The Luoyue Kingdom is located in the southernmost part of the Strait of Malacca, with a population of about 20,000.

A country between Luoyue and Goguluo with a population of over 10,000 people.

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 500,000 people. In addition, there are not a few tin mines in this area. I suggest that it be 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 southern part of Luzon state, plus the big island of Luzon, should be able to accommodate 800,000 people, which is still 3.7 million." Wang Qian divided another group of people.

That is, they have to take more territories.

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 development potential. "

Jinzhou Island is Sumatra Island.

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

Everyone discussed for a long time, and finally discussed a specific plan.

Baiyulou is also pushing the boat, preparing to adapt the current navy and army.

The current naval strength is 85,000, 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.

Baiyulou plans to divide the navy into the Local Fleet, the Nanyang Fleet, and the Beiyang Fleet.

As for the inland water fleet at least maintaining the current Yangtze River squadron, after all, the inland water fleet has no enemies at all. Although Li Tang can go downstream from the Three Gorges, the problem is that they do not have the courage.

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

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

The Beiyang Fleet has not yet been formally established, but there is such a system. Its defense area is the Jinghai, the Eastern Ying Islands and other areas, and the home port is planned to be built on the Eastern Ying Islands.

In fact, the adaptation of the army is not too big, but for the current 70 corps, some personnel adjustments are made, and then several army divisions are established.

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

The other is that the airship is directly under the military department and belongs to the sequence of the flying corps, and is not under the jurisdiction of the army and the army.

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

Just after the initial adjustment of these preparations.

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

Although there were some warships in Silla, Baekje, Goguryeo, and Japan, these ships were only small wooden ships in front of the navy.

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

…

In Keelung Port, the Liuqiu Squadron of 3 steam battleships has served. At this time, it has 9 steam battleships and 36 large wooden sailing ships.

The fleet commander Li Feng, and the previous propaganda officer Wang Zhong, quickly summoned the sailors in the naval port.

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

Although not many decent enemies have been encountered, the training within the navy has never slackened.

More than half an hour later, the nine steamships left Keelung Port alone, and the sailing warships did not follow.

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

The task Li Feng, Wang Zhong and others received was to take down Ryukyu, Danluo, and Tsushima in the northeast of Liuqiu Island, and then build a bastion and a supply port on it.

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

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

At this time, they entered the Kuroshio Current of the Pacific Ocean circulation, the Tsushima Warm Current, and rushed to the northeast with the wind and the water.

In the accelerating direction of ocean currents and monsoons, the speed of the battleship reached about 15 knots. At this time, turning on the steam engine was a waste of fuel.

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

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

The steam fleet that was flying all the way soon appeared near Nanshan Island in Nanshan Kingdom.

The little king of Nanshan Island was actually just a village chief. After all, the small islands he ruled had a combined population of just over a thousand people.

Li Feng just fired a shot and let the other party kneel and beg for mercy.

Then he did not stop, leaving behind a steam battleship, and 230 sailors on board, and let these soldiers organize the islanders to build ports and bastions.

Following the same method, the Ryukyu Kingdom, Beishan Kingdom, Danluo Kingdom, and Tsushima Kingdom were 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 they occupied Tsushima Island, the local Japanese were very unruly. The pair of Ma Daming brought hundreds of young men to try to resist, and then they were directly destroyed by artillery strikes.

Known as the "Black Ship Incident".

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

It's just that as time passed, the forces on both sides of Tsushima Island also discovered the movements of the People's Revolutionary Federation, which made them stunned.

For example, the suzerain country of Tsushima Island, and the Silla people who have always coveted the island, UUkanshu www.uukanshu.com discovered the abnormality of Tsushima Island through the nearby fishermen.

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

The first Japanese country that couldn't help but immediately mobilized hundreds of small wooden boats, rushing over in black.

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 warship, also spewing black smoke, opened fire on the small wooden boat that had always committed crimes.

For the first time facing such a terrifying weapon, these uncivilized Japanese people were immediately terrified. After a third of the wooden boat was destroyed, they finally couldn't hold it any longer, and fled back in a crap.

The people of Silla, who had wanted to take advantage of them, were suddenly too frightened to approach Tsushima.
