It was many days before the news of the public-private partnership in Jilong Coal Mine reached Dong Liang's ears.

Because the upgrading of coal mines requires a set of equipment, which the Chinese cannot produce themselves.

Dong Liang ordered an order to be placed at the Naha exchange, but in the end, an American company took over the order.

The British want to impose a technological blockade on the East, but Americans' technologies are stolen from Europe. They don't care.

Although the conflict between the Chinese and the United States is the most intense, this does not prevent them from doing business in Naha.

The exchange's order acceptance is similar to bidding, and Dong Liang cannot suffer any loss in terms of price.

The current Naha Exchange is like a vest that can help Dong Liang solve many problems.

As the reputation of Naha Free Port grows, its role will become more prominent.

Therefore, Xiang Bang will continue to sit in Naha.

After taking control of Toban Island this time, the Chinese territory suddenly increased many times. Originally, the Chinese only had two county-level administrative offices, one was the Okinawa Islands Administrative Office and the other was the Yaeyama Islands Administrative Office. The total population was only a dozen or so.

Thousands of people.

Now it is necessary to expand more than a dozen administrative offices at once, and the population has increased to more than one million.

The entire Dongfan Island alone has nearly 1.8 million Dingkou and more than 220,000 households. This does not include Shengfan that is not under the jurisdiction.

Dong Liang plans to transfer Liu Fengliang from the Iriomote Island Administrative Office to Toban Island to assist him in handling the work here.

Otherwise, it would be really difficult to manage these dozen administrative offices by yourself.

The Chinese headquarters will also be moved to Dongfan Island.

Ryukyu will no longer continue to serve as the center of the Chinese, but will exist as the rear of the Chinese.

This should be regarded as a shift in political focus.

This marks the shift of the escort army from overseas development and consolidation to the strategy of attacking the mainland.

Dong Liang was sitting in the Lukang County Yamen, sorting out the battles of the past few days.

He attacked from north to south along the west coast of Dongfan Island, and the partial division led by Ah Fu followed the east coast from north to south.

The entire Dongfan Island is high in the middle and low on the edges. However, the coastal plain on the east coast is very narrow, and typhoons and geological disasters are serious, so the degree of development is low. The residents are mainly Chinese-style Ban people.

Dong Liang specifically told Ah Fu some things before he separated from him, mainly how to treat the people.

But the plan never changed much. He didn't know what kind of challenges Afu would face.

Of course, no matter what, it will not affect the overall situation of Chinese control of Dongfan Island.

"Führer, Fengshan County has been captured, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city have surrendered." Zhao Liewen reported in a low voice.

"Well, okay, those officers and soldiers who surrendered will be treated as an uprising and resettled." Dong Liang just wanted to give the Qing army an attitude. As long as they surrendered voluntarily, they would get preferential treatment.

"Is there any news from Tamsui and the chicken coop?" Dong Liang asked.

"Yes, the situation in Jilong City has basically stabilized. The number of the garrison team has reached more than 300 people. The port has also resumed operations and can be used as a transfer station for transporting supplies from Iriomote Island to Toban Island. At present, Jilong County

The working group is making preparations for land reform."

"The situation in Tamsui is more complicated, as there are more wealthy families there. The working group feels that they should wait until the strength of the garrison increases before bringing up the matter of land reform. What they are mainly doing now is to restore normal production order in the local area.

.”

Dong Liang nodded slightly. One drawback of his leap-frog tactics was that the army could not completely solve the hidden dangers in the occupied areas.

Most of the garrison members are new recruits, so we shouldn't have too high expectations for them.

"Tell each action group that the priority is stability and ask them to pay attention to the needs of the people at the grassroots level. As long as the people at the bottom are stable, there will be no chaos in one place."

"We must pay close attention to those landowners and gentry who spread rumors and confuse people and try to endanger local security by inciting the people, and crack down severely, trying to nip the problem in the bud. As for the people who maintain a primitive closed life in the mountains, for the time being, we can mainly win over them.

Give appropriate favors and build mutual trust..."

Zhao Liewen had a photographic memory, so he could draft Dong Liang's oral orders into official documents without making any mistakes later without taking notes.

Just then, a training team member responsible for guarding the gate of the county government came to report, and Wang Ziyu from the Taiwan Military Preparatory Department took the initiative to send him to the door.

Dong Liang looked shocked, originally thinking that Wang Ziyu had run away.

But why did he come back on his own?

Soon Wang Ziyu was brought up.

Wang Ziyu thought twice and decided that he had a chance to survive only by seeking refuge with Dong Liang.

He did not come from a serious imperial examination background, nor did he have the pedantic air of a civil servant.

Even Wang Yide said that he had too many nicknames and didn't understand the truth. In fact, he just didn't have strong principles.

An ordinary local official of the Manchu Qing Dynasty would never come to the rebels to surrender.

"Head of State, Mr. Wang is too blind to see Taishan. He originally planned to deal with the Head of State. Please punish the Head of State."

Wang Ziyu was still uneasy on the road because he judged that these people were the Chinese escorts he met in the mountains, but that was entirely his speculation.

Maybe they happen to have similar clothing.

And the young man on the mountain, is he really the leader of these people?

The moment he saw Dong Liang, all his guesses were finally confirmed.

"Mr. Wang, I said we will meet again." Dong Liang said with a slight smile on his face, pretending to be profound.

"Get up, Mr. Wang, you know that we Chinese people don't like this. But if Mr. Wang can take the initiative to surrender, Mr. Dong will naturally welcome it. I wonder where Mr. Wang's surrender certificate is?"

Dong Liang's question was quite direct, which made Wang Ziyu a little embarrassed.

He had dealt with Dong Liang and knew that this young man had such a speaking style.

"Wang is willing to work for the head of state to persuade Taiwan's capital city and Kaohsiung counties to surrender." Wang Ziyu is the highest official on Dongfan Island. He is good at management, so he should have such abilities.

"Tell me, what are your conditions?" Dong Liang asked directly.

"Wang asked the head of state to save my family." Wang Ziyu fell to the ground again.

"Okay, no problem. Mr. Wang, please get up, we will be our own people from now on."

Dong Liang did not deliberately make things difficult for Wang Ziyu, but that seemed too cliché.

He knew that people like Wang Ziyu were very utilitarian, and he must have been driven by profit when he took refuge with the Chinese.

He did not join the Chinese out of sincerity or out of recognition of Chinese ideals.

But this person is indeed a capable person, and his ability is definitely not lower than Zhou Tenghu.

Dong Liang is not the kind of petty person, and he will not hold a grudge against Wang Ziyu because he once planned to deal with him. At that time, Wang Ziyu, as Wang Yide's staff, had no problem doing things from the perspective of his master.

It can only be said that everyone is his own master.

Of course, you have to be careful when using such people. But Wang Ziyu begged himself to save his family. It seems that, like most Chinese, he cares about his family very much.

This man still has weaknesses.

"Go and contact Mr. Sun and write a letter. He will be responsible for arranging for people to take your family back. Our speed will definitely be faster than that of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties."

Wang Ziyu is a native of Shaoxing, Zhejiang, and a typical Shaoxing master.

The Ryukyu Hall in Dinghai is not far from there. If you take the sea trip, you can quickly pick up his family. At that time, the court must not have received news of his surrender.

"After arranging this matter, you and Mr. Sun will go and cash in your certificate. If it's too late, we may have captured the city."

At this time, the escort army was attacking Chiayi County, and after passing Chiayi County, they reached Fucheng.

However, Chiayi's defenders were resisting stubbornly and did not understand the overall situation like Fengshan's defenders did.

Fengshan County, located south of Fucheng and farther away from Lukang, was recovered first.

It was Tang Lichun's Third Brigade that attacked Chiayi County, after Lin Yue led the Third Brigade to form the Okinawa garrison.

Tang Lichun was promoted to the position of captain and formed a new third brigade.

So now the third brigade is the least senior among the four brigade, a dwarf.
