The huge explosion blew the entire Megalodon into pieces, but the people on the entire building ship did not feel any impact. They knew that Hua Kai had protected them.
The Megalodon of the ninth level of the Jindan realm was killed by Hua Kai with one shot. The other Megalodons lost their leader and saw no hope of breaking through the defense of the building ship, so they began to flee and soon disappeared from everyone's perception.
The building ship continued to move forward. At this time, all the members of the Java Island family sitting on the ship were silent. The strength of China was completely beyond imagination. Even if Java was nearly ten thousand miles away from China, with this treasure ship and Hua Kai's escort, it was not difficult to transport 200,000 people a year. It seemed that it was much easier for China to rule the entire Java country than they imagined.
After sailing on the sea for more than three hours, the [building ship] gradually approached the storm area. Feeling the huge hull shaking violently, lightning and thunder continued to come from the sky. The members of the Java Island family all held the handrails tightly. If they didn't hold on tightly, they might fall and get injured in the plywood, halls, and corridors of the building ship.
Compared to the attack of monsters, entering the storm zone can make people feel the approach of death more. For two consecutive hours, the [building ship] traveled through the waves over 100 meters high. When someone felt that the waves finally decreased and the sky became bright, they finally passed through the storm zone that was unforgettable in their lifetime.
Everyone felt so kind when they saw the sun again. They no longer entangled where Hua Kai would send them. Being alive is a happy thing, isn't it?
Hua Kai stood on a rooftop on the highest floor, feeling the changes in these family members, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. It was only more than 300 miles from Xixian Island to the storm zone. Hua Kai only took two hours to arrive outside Xixian Island. Here Hua Zihuan had brought more than 100,000 people from Dongxian Island to open up wasteland and build ranches. Now the most important task of Xiandao County is to develop Xixian Island.
Hand all these people over to the fourth uncle Hua Zihuan. Xiandao County has two Jindan realms in the fourth uncle and Qiqige. These Java family members can't make any waves.
Hua Kai told Hua Zihuan to pay attention to the performance of these people. If they perform well, they can be given civilian status and let them stay on Dongxian Island. Otherwise, they will stay on Xixian Island to open up wasteland!
After dropping off more than 40,000 people, it was not dark yet. Hua Kai flew back to Java Island in less than an hour. At this time, all ports, docks, and island fortresses on Java Island were controlled by Chinese soldiers. Chinese soldiers continued to fall at night.
"Your Majesty, the slaves on Java Island are really irritating. Some noble families told them that we would take all of them as slaves and kill all those who disobeyed. These people actually believed it.
Tonight we caught hundreds of people who fled Java Island by boat. If we don't kill them, the people on the entire island will be in chaos. Killing them is really a crime not punishable by death." Tang Lei came back and saw Hua Kai and said angrily.
"It's still the old way. Bribe some locals and deepen your understanding of the people. If they are useful, let them serve us. If they have resistance to us, gather them all and I will send them to Xiandao County. Xiandao County is now at the most critical time for development, and no matter how many laborers we have, it's not too much.
We only have 20,000 people here now. It's really not easy to manage more than 7 million people here. Other islands in Java may also launch an attack on us. There are not many people that Xiandao County can dispatch here. I will transport them to Xixian Island tomorrow. Our task this year is to defend Java Island. As for the immigration from Central Plains to Java, we still have to wait until next year before we can consider it." Hua Kai finished speaking.
Tang Lei nodded and asked someone to arrange for the people who would go to Xiandao County with Hua Kai tomorrow. The captives and family members after the occupation of Java Island yesterday could all be selected.
The next day, King Chu told Hua Kai that many places on Java Island were attacked, but the elite of Huaxia had already occupied the bays and docks on the island, and the other side had been looking for opportunities but had not yet broken through the defense.
"The most troublesome thing for us now is not the attacks from the noble families outside Java Island. Although they have a large number of people, their strength, equipment and training are far inferior to our soldiers. As long as we have fifty people, we can completely stop their attacks of thousands of people.
The most troublesome thing is actually the small and medium-sized noble families on the island and the people who follow them. They are so numerous that we can only use appeasement methods." King Chu said.
"In addition to patrolling the island, I will catch all those who are hostile to us and send them to Xiandao County.
The population on Java Island is too large and should be reduced by half. In this way, while strengthening our rule, we can provide more labor for Dongxian Island." Hua Kai said.
King Chu nodded. They did a good job in conquering Java. If they ruled the food and economy of the entire Java country and occupied all the key islands, then the entire Java country would be under the control of Huaxia, and conquering Java would become the simplest thing.
His temporary loss of control caused such a big trouble. It also let everyone in Huaxia see that conquering a country or a civilization would be very difficult if they used tough weapons.
The best way to conquer is cultural assimilation, using advanced goods to make the other party absolutely dependent on oneself, so assimilate the other party's culture and cognition.
Hua Kai once again drove the [Tower Ship] from Java Island. This time he forced 50,000 people on the [Tower Ship]. All the cabins were crowded, but it only took one day, and it was over after squeezing together.
When he arrived at Xixian Island in the afternoon, Hua Kai saw that his fourth uncle had settled all the captives and let them work in the fields. Hua Kai asked people to take the people on the ship. Now they are slaves of Huaxia like the members of the noble families yesterday.
"Fourth uncle, how are these slaves today? Are there any troubles? Especially the dozen or so foundation-building realms." Hua Kai asked.
"No, they are all very quiet. Seeing that they are asked to farm, and they are full of food every day, and they also have spiritual rice and meat to eat. Many people are very obedient. I have arranged for people to teach them Mandarin.
At this rate, it will only take one year for them to be free from slavery and become civilians of Huaxia!" Hua Zihuan said.
"That's good! Go and call all the slaves above the Xiantian realm. I need to take some people back.
There are rumors on Java that we threw all the slaves we transported into the sea. I want to take a few people with high reputation in Java back and let them tell all the people where the people from Java who went out to sea went." Hua Kai said.
Hua Zihuan quickly gathered all the slaves above the Xiantian realm that were transported yesterday. Hua Kai walked past them one by one and checked their attributes. He found that most of them had loyalty of more than 30 points in recent years, which means that they have recognized the Chinese country.
He found a person with more than 60 points of loyalty. This person surnamed Yuan is the head of a large family in the Xiantian realm. It is amazing that his loyalty can exceed the passing line at once.
The remaining highest loyalty is more than 40 points. Hua Kai found 20 people who are not from the same family, took them on the [Tower Ship], let them drive with him, and sailed south at a high speed.
This time, it was already dark when they approached the storm area. With the experience of the last time, the 21 people were not worried. They put their mental power into speeding up, and the [building ship] sailed across the sea at a high speed.
When they arrived at Java Island, it was already the hour of Hai. Hua Kai docked and took the 21 people to the palace.
"This is an opportunity to make merit. You will leave the palace later and tell the noble people who are still on the island where the people who were taken away have gone!
If there are still people on your island who want to be taken away, gather them all and take them to Tang Lei.
The more the people of Java Island can be more peaceful, the less blood will be shed. You just need to tell others the truth about your experience. After this mission, you and your family will no longer be prisoners. If you want to return to Xiandao County, you can get a large piece of land there. If you want to be an official here, stay here and be an official." Hua Kai said.
The 21 people nodded to show that they understood. In just this afternoon, the loyalty of the 21 people has increased a lot. The loyalty of the head of the Yuan family has reached 72 points, and the loyalty of most of the others has exceeded 50 points. This is a relatively reassuring number.
"You will live in the palace first. Everyone will receive 10,000 gold tomorrow. Do more propaganda to the people of Huaxia who are loyal to me. If you find anyone hostile to Huaxia, tell Tang Lei as soon as possible. I will send them all to Xiandao County in the next few days." Hua Kai said.
The 21 people expressed their understanding. Huaxia did not want to kill, but the people were stupid and did not know how powerful Huaxia was. Many misunderstandings in the hearts of the people made it difficult for Huaxia's rule to penetrate the people. The 21 of them were already highly respected on this island, so it was the easiest thing to do.
In the following days, Java Island finally stabilized slowly, and all the shops on the street were open. The dazzling array of goods made the streets very lively. Some people exchanged their own currency for Chinese currency and bought food at the grain store. These new shops were good quality and cheap, and more and more people supported Huaxia.
The 21 representatives of Java Island aristocratic families played a powerful role. When the new government council was formed, Hua Kai even made 21 people become important members of the government council, and many new government officials were selected by the 21 people from other families.
By October 6, Hua Kai sent more than 20 trips between Java Island and Xixian Island, one trip a day, which sent more than one million people to Xiandao County. The number of people making trouble on Java Island began to decrease, and some people even asked to go to Xiandao County on their own initiative.
The entire Java Island was finally stabilized, but the attacks on Java from other islands outside the island have never stopped. In twenty days, they have captured more than 200,000 people, but more and more Javanese people have sailed to attack important places in China, under the slogan of driving away the invaders.
