In 1630, the Haisong Empire sent 30,000 troops to capture Guangxi, and countless officials from all over Guangxi surrendered.

In 1631, the Haisong Empire sent another 20,000 troops to attack Fujian, and the right censor Xiong Wencan was captured and surrendered.

In 1632, Hubei and Hunan were captured, and three other officials committed suicide and died in 50 deaths.

The south was extremely corrupt, and the Ming Dynasty was in turmoil. The food and wages from Jiangnan were greatly reduced. The Shaanxi rebel army, which could have been suppressed, was also in a turmoil. The Ming army, which lacked food and wages, was unable to suppress it, and the food and rice from Jiangnan, was unable to continue to support it.

Emperor Chongzhen issued three consecutive edicts of guilt and ordered peace with the Haisong Empire, but was rejected.

The Chinese time travelers have no scruples. In the past few years of attacks, they have increasingly felt the huge advantages brought by the gap in the times. Often, one thousand musketeers on their side can easily defeat the Ming army at a distance of one or two hundred meters. The Ming army does not have many cavalry at all, especially in the south. They are basically infantry, with slow movement and dense formations of cold weapons. When facing the army holding modern musketeers, it will be a slaughter.

The reason why they only conduct large-scale military operations every year is not that they care about the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, but that they are in the logistics issues, ammunition, food and grass, and the need to stabilize and digest the occupied land.

In less than five years, the Haisong Empire had occupied half of the southern region, and the entire south was shocked. The remaining provincial officials were discussing whether to surrender or escape every day. To this day, no one dared to say that they could resist. Compared with the Later Jin Dynasty, the Haisong Empire was even more powerful and unstoppable. In dealing with the Later Jin Dynasty, there were still several generals who had won the victory. Since the establishment of the State, the Haisong Empire has never been defeated. The Ming army has basically not won, and it has become common for the loss of troops and territory. As a result, when the Haisong Army was seen, countless Ming army surrendered.

In 1633, after refusing peace talks with Emperor Chongzhen, the Chinese travelers rose up and sent 100,000 troops to attack Sichuan, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and other southern regions at the same time. All the major prefectures, counties and cities were included in their own rule, except for sparsely populated areas such as the plateau.

As a result, the most abundant and essential part of the whole world fell into the territory of the Haisong Empire. With the help of powerful naval forces, the Yangtze River was blocked and the environment was relatively stable. The Chinese travelers temporarily terminated their military operations.

In order to carry out the rapid military operations, when capturing these areas, the travelers only captured the main cities and did not go deep into the countryside. Except for Guangzhou being first captured and grassroots regimes were established in the vast rural areas. Other areas only occupied the main prefectures and counties and cities firmly, and did not establish a solid rule in the vast rural areas.

Now we need to organize manpower from scratch and develop.

The attack on the Ming Dynasty began in 1628. In the past five years, the Chinese time travelers have soared and occupied the entire south. The development speed is extremely fast. However, the time travelers are still dissatisfied. During this period, they have received more news about the group of time travelers in North America, and are also afraid of the development speed of each other. In the past five years, the other party has made a lot of progress. Many merchant ships with obvious modern traces have appeared in the Nanyang area. The moment of formal contact between the two sides is right in front of them.

Moreover, in history, the bandit Li Zicheng, the bandit, revolted in 1629 and destroyed the Ming Dynasty in 1644, only took fifteen years to defeat the Ming Dynasty. It has been 13 years since they traveled through time and have not yet destroyed the Ming Dynasty. Although most of the reason is to be attributed to the fact that most of the energy they devoted to industrial development and the transformation of the feudal society of the Ming Dynasty, conservative military actions are still the focus of criticism by some travelers.

After occupying the entire south, more than ten years have passed, many time travelers have also changed from being a young boy to an uncle, and Chairman Hao Renyi is over fifty years old. However, in his words, in modern times, his political life has just begun.

The general trend of the world is already very clear. Whether it is the Ming Dynasty, the Later Jin Dynasty or the Rebel Army, in the news over the years, it has clearly known that the power of the Southern Empire is not something that any of them can resist. Many small forces in the rebel army went to the south to surrender to a certain official position, leaving behind large rebel army such as Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng. At this time, there was no idea of ​​becoming an emperor and king, and they also began to contact the South. On the surface, they accepted the name of the Haisong Empire claiming to be the righteous Chinese, claiming that it was originally the forerunner and destroyed the corrupt Ming Dynasty.

Compared with the land of hunger and famine in the Ming Dynasty ruling areas, bandits have risen, and the rule of the Haisong Empire increased grain production, developed commerce, and people lived and worked in peace. They had no trouble, had old people and were educated, and most people were full and warm. There were countless people who fled from the north, and they took their families and fled to the south. Compared to the initial travelers who had to rely on deception to immigrate, the people in the north now know that there was a true dragon emperor in the south. The saints were alive, descendants of the Song Dynasty, and the Han people were orthodox. The people under their rule were happy. All the poor who could not survive spontaneously migrated to the south.

For these people, people who are vigorously developing industrial travelers naturally come to us. After quarantine, education and training, these most hard-working people are the best industrial workers. As for the food problem, various varieties of increased yields, and careful farming, coupled with the use of a large number of agricultural machinery, the number of people that can be supported by an agricultural labor force has increased greatly, from the original one who can only support three or four people, but now it has risen to twelve or three people. The problems of population and land carrying capacity have been solved for a long time, which has also freed a large number of labor force from the land and entered the factory.

Through modern economic means, the time travelers regulate people's income, keep the gap between the rich and the poor to a certain extent. At the same time, through government taxation as leverage, they provide certain support to the poor, thus greatly increasing the consumption power of the occupied areas and providing important market impetus for the entire industrial development.

In fact, the fundamental purpose of the economy is to meet the various needs of people. The overall needs of people will determine the maximum output of various industries. However, the development of military industry is a special case. It sometimes expands infinitely without constraints because it is established by the state. The fundamental purpose is to meet the needs of people's survival and security. In some cases, human security needs are endless. Fundamentally speaking, the more people's population, the greater the demand, and the larger the final economic scale will be. However, this still requires multiplication with the individual's consumption capacity to form the final economic scale.

This is also why Westerners were often confused by the huge population of the Eastern Empire at the beginning, thinking that it had a huge market, but they did not expect that the number of people who truly had the ability to consume was very small. They had to wake up until many goods could not be sold. However, this mistake was made again and again, because the population figures on the surface were too easy to make capitalists moved. Many Western merchants would simply calculate how much food and clothing a person in the Eastern Empire would eat, wear and use, and how much consumption capacity a hundred million people would have every year. But they forgot another situation, that is, many people worked hard for a year but couldn't hold them, and could not wear a new piece of clothing all year round.

After statistical testing, the travelers were delighted to find that the population directly under the jurisdiction exceeded 120 million. If such a large number of people were trained and educated and had the average national quality of modern countries, they would be unparalleled in this world. This brought back confidence to many travelers who were originally panicked.

Yes, the newly emerging technology trees of time travel seem to climb higher than us now, but as long as they cannot produce weapons of mass destruction such as atomic bombs, with such a population base, they can be submerged by violent soldiers alone.
