Rebirth of South America as King

Chapter 383: South Pacific Islands

Coaxed four children who were full and tired to sleep, Sun Yingtai turned around and discussed with his wife, "I will be here shortly this time. Around eleven o'clock tomorrow night, all of our family of six will go to the entrance of Hutou Village and others. Convergence, time is very tight. Let the children stay at home tomorrow day and do n’t run around. In the morning, you and I will go to Uncle Wu, and leave that cottage at home to Wu Shu to take care of you. If you have a chance to return to Yangshu Village in the future, Fortunately, there is a place to stay. If we do n’t come back, this thatched house in our family and the **** field of one and a half acres in the back of the mountain will be given to Wushu. Right and as a reward for Wushu's care for the children these years. "

"Going in such a hurry? Wait another five or six days, and wait until I dispose of a sheep, two chickens, and some other bottles and cans in my house. Can't I leave at that time?"

"I have time to wait for things at home to be dealt with slowly, but Annan ’s transport fleet will not wait for us. Before returning, the company commander and platoon leader reminded me several times, saying one year and a half later Within the entire area of ​​Annan, there are more than one million people and soldiers relocating to South America. Ocean shipping vessels in the local area are strained. If it is delayed, not only the good land and grassland in the local area will be divided by others in advance, but it may also be Encountered other changes.

The situation in Annan is very unstable. The French foreigners have troubled the Annan government for three days and two. No one knows whether by 1883, the French will leave to send troops to attack Annan Kitaban. So the sooner we rush to Annan, the sooner we board The better the transport fleet leaves. "

"Then I will sell the goat and two chickens at home to a suitable buyer tomorrow, and we will leave again. It will always be OK."

"Do n’t be so troublesome. The goats are given to Uncle Wu. The two chickens will be killed tomorrow morning. Then they will buy some side dishes in the town. They will call Wu Shu's family together at home. After eating, All thatched cottages, slopes, bottles and cans were given to Uncle Wu. Anyway, these things could not be taken away, and it was not cheap to give them to outsiders.

Yun Sun Yingtai urged.

"Huh, you're quite generous. Do you know how much I suffered and how much I suffered at home to feed a few children, just the goat, the two chickens, or the hard work I spent on a piece of silver? , Those who worked hard to raise them, said no, no, said no to give away, have you ever thought about the suffering of me and a few dolls. "

The wife said tears came down, venting, "You made a little money out of the house, but that's what you got for your life. Our family is originally a poor family. It's no harm to save more and save more money. Otherwise, if there is any difficulty in Wanjia, it is better to have one penny more than not to have a strong one. You say, what do I say?

"Ajuan, it's my fault. I don't understand the difficulties of your mother, don't you cry?"

Seeing that his wife was in tears, Sun Yingtai was not in the mood. While wiping his wife's tears with his sleeve, he explained, "I originally thought that the South American native landed a small pasture for our family. It is said to have an area of ​​260 acres. So much, and you and your four children have arrived in the homeland. After registering as a veteran of the military, the government will follow the standard of veteran military. Adults will be divided into 12 acres of arable land, and 5 acres of arable land per child, or Converted into ranch grass, it is five people, a total of 120 acres of ranch,

I thought at the time that our family had so much land. After coming to the mainland, the government would issue farm appliances, cattle and sheep and other livestock in the form of loans. With these household businesses, one sheep and two chickens were given to five There is nothing in my uncle's family. Anyway, the prices of domestic cattle, sheep, chickens and other animals in South America are very cheap. At that time, we should buy dozens of sheep and wait until it stabilizes. With our ranch area, we can raise 700 to 800 sheep. difficult…………"

"Is the price of livestock in South America really so cheap?"

My wife asked with curiosity, interrupting her husband.

"I didn't lie to you at all. When serving in Annan, even more than 20 brothers in the local family who broke up in the field said so."

"The goats ca n’t be sent out either. The houses and fields in the family have been sent out, and there are quite a lot of this sheep. I think it ’s better to sell the goats. It ’s better to change some silver, even if you are in South America, you can have more silver. Add some furniture. "

"You have the final say at home and listen to you." ...

The next morning, Sun Yingtai put on a fake braid and went to the town bazaar early to buy some food. Then he visited his relatives with his wife.

Because of his prudent and low-key behavior, the soldiers who went home with Sun Yingtai to pick up their loved ones did not encounter obstacles. On the night of the day, a group of nearly 100 people, including their families, rushed to the place agreed in advance and left by boat. …………

Similar incidents continued to be staged in southern Fujian and Guangdong and Guangxi. Before making up their minds to go overseas, most young people did not touch the real situation of Nanyang and South America in person. Most of the young people held the idea of ​​taking a risky blog. They failed and were lonely. One person, who was buried outside the realm, broke out of a famous place, or found a way to support his family, then went home in person, or trusted a fellow villager, and brought his family to South America to live together. New 81 Chinese website updates fastest computer: https: // first release

A letter across the ocean was transmitted to the family through the hands of fellow villagers. One by one, real news came out from the mouths of the returning Chinese, which strengthened the family ’s belief in going to sea to pursue a new life. The influence, through the simplest and primitive way, gradually expanded to southern Fujian, central Guangdong, Guangdong and Guangdong, inland areas, one by one, closed and backward small villages, because of the return of the strong influence, and gradually set off a wave of waves away from home, the mountain village There are fewer and fewer young people. In the end, there are only dozens of old people who can't stand the bumps on the sea and nostalgia for their homeland. They sit on the stone mill in front of the mountain village and watch each family leave quietly. Hometown, neighbor.

The rapidly growing immigration population has overwhelmed the various departments related to immigration affairs. The number of immigrants entering through legal channels such as official, local folk, and third-party shipping companies has quickly exceeded the 500,000-a-year mark, and some have not been approved by the state. The number of Far East Chinese who spend money illegally is also increasing.

Along the southeast coast-South Ocean-East Coast of Africa-Native South America and the Far East-South Pacific-South America, two indigenous immigrant transport routes, some Western Western fleets in order to make a profit also imitate the form of indigenous immigrant transport fleet, Illegal immigration.

The Han government can only allocate funds for regular immigration operations. After all, Western shipping fleets that cannot get government immigration business orders are reluctant to benefit from immigration transportation and instead choose to smuggle for immigration activities.

The risk of organizing illegal smuggling is higher than that of formal ocean shipping, but they also gain a lot more benefits than regular shipping companies. In order to increase the local population, the government can only choose to open one's eyes and close one. After all, the people who have smuggled into the country have endured hardships and risked their lives to reach their destinations, and the local population desperately needs them, increasing the country's development potential and war potential. Regardless of whether these populations are literate scholars or poor farmers, anyway, When they arrived in the homeland, they went to the new development area again, and they could provide a little labor for the homeland.

Based on the government's inaction, immigrants who have smuggled into the country are reported and will be punished for two years of concentrated labor in accordance with regulations. Then, like regular Chinese immigrants, basic literacy education should be conducted as usual. After the two-year labor period ends, There is no shortage of points for the land to be distributed.

I see exactly this attitude of the local government. The number of illegal immigrants is increasing year by year, and it is about to exceed 100,000 people per year.

Some of the unfortunate people who died during the smuggling journey. After arriving on the mainland, because they did not converge, there were also those who were assigned to the South Pacific islands and the Congo colonies. The South Pacific covers 25% of the world ’s surface and is scattered on the vast sea. With more than 20,000 islands, the French Polynesian Islands in the South Pacific have beautiful scenery, but the direction goes further west. The Samoa Islands, which is hot and sometimes hit by storms, is not a Chinese criminal who is assigned. Good place,

In March 1880, in order to build the South Pacific Shipping Transit Base, more than 2,000 criminals were dispatched to the Samoa Islands. The time passed a year and a half. By September 1881, more than 400 people had died of illness, severe heat, and other causes. On the island, although the Samoan and Polynesian islands were later described as the two pearls of the Han Empire in the South Pacific, the Chinese criminals who were suffering from illness and heavy labor had never thought so.

In September 1881, the fleet carrying Annan evacuated soldiers and immigrants traveled to a certain area in the South Pacific Ocean. After more than a month of sailing, the passengers on the ship were not very good. Mei Dongxing, Liang Xing, Wang Shizhen, etc. from the cabin Come out and walk to the deck.

"After receiving His Majesty's order, after the main force of the Nanyang Army arrived in the Samoa Islands, it was mixed with the Marines in situ to form the Yizhou Islands Defensive Forces, Captain Wang. I intend to recommend you to be the Commander of the Apia Defense Forces in the Samoa Islands. ,Do you have any idea?"

Xi Mei Dongxing seemed to inadvertently say to Wang Shizhen behind him.

"Under his duty but by Governor Mei."

"Port Apia plans to deploy 400 Nanyang Regiment veterans and 400 affiliated militiamen. The official appointment will be notified and your rank should be promoted to Major."

Mei Dongxing smiled and looked at each other's young faces, and asked, "Graduation of the Army Officer School in the fourth period, you should be among the same classmates. The rank was first raised to the major?"

"Stained in the light of your grown-ups, with very little credit for his work, he was promoted and extremely ashamed."

"Beginning military affairs in one place, young people really should be more stable."

Mei Dongxing nodded with satisfaction. Kao School said, "After taking over the post of Apia Port Commander, how do you plan to manage the local military affairs?"

"The Samoa and Polynesian islands are very far apart, and they are inaccessible to each other. In order to deal with enemy naval attacks, island defense should be dominated by defense in depth and coast defense."

说 "Talk about your specific thoughts."

"Look at me, adults."

Wang Shizhen took out a march map to find out the location of the Samoa Islands, and analyzed "Samoa Islands covers an area of ​​more than 3,000 square kilometers, of which Savai Island covers an area of ​​1,820 square kilometers; Ubud Island covers an area of ​​1,113 square kilometers. The island occupies 90% of the archipelago, so we should focus our defenses on Sawai and Ubud.

Savai Island has many volcanoes. The central part of the Maugasili Hills is 1858 meters above sea level, the highest peak in Samoa, and the northwest is a plain. According to the geographical characteristics of Savai Island, the staff believes that the main mountains on the island should be inspected first. Structure, avoid active volcanoes that may erupt, select suitable mountains, use local newly developed picric acid explosives as explosives, explode departmental mountains, dig shelters inside the mountains, and build permanent defenses.

Secondly, develop the northwestern plains, encourage islanders to plant food crops and graze livestock, and ensure that the people on the island are self-sufficient in food.

Finally, a certain amount of food, weapons and other combat preparation materials are reserved each year to respond to the sudden outbreak of the war. The defensive forces can rely on defensive measures such as mountain fortifications and underground bunkers to carry out long-term persistent operations when local reinforcements cannot be reached. "

"The idea is good, but the excavation of the mountain bunkers is a big project. It is difficult to accomplish the combat planning goals you have proposed just by using the assigned local criminals."

"After the departure of the migrant fleet from Annan, it passed through Southeast Asia and the South Pacific Ocean along the way. There are many black primitive tribes on many islands there. If the Samoan archipelago ’s preparations progress is lower than expected, the staff intends to use immigration The fleet, from primitive islands such as New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, and Watuanu, captures young labor and supplements the shortage of island construction labor. "

"The United Kingdom, the United States, Germany, and France have begun to enter the New Guinea and Watuanu Islands, and openly capturing the black indigenous workers in Southeast Asia is inevitable."

Mei Dongxing disagreed with Wang Shizhen's plan, explaining that "the implementation of the South Pacific Islands combat readiness plan is not in a hurry. After taking office, you can carefully plan for construction materials such as cement, steel, timber, sand and gravel. The local government will try to ensure adequate supply and labor. Then, in addition to the arrest of black Southeast Asian laborers, you can think of other solutions. "............

I have seen the blue waters and the wide sky. Even the magnificent scenery can be boring and boring. Several people are discussing the recent events in the country at will, and they look at the sea from time to time and surround the fleet. Hovering sea bird.

"Sir, an island has been found in the water ahead!"

Standing at the highest point of the bow lookout tower, a sailor reported an exciting news aloud.

"How big is the island?"

"It's not very clear. It's less than a square kilometer."

"Less than one square kilometer, the area is a bit small!"

Tong Meixing's happy expression on his face slightly reduced, and he immediately ordered: "Send a reconnaissance ship to see if there are any indigenous people on the island."

"Yes, sir."

放 A small gunboat with a displacement of more than 200 tons was dropped from a large transport ship. Seventeen or eight sailors controlled the small gunboat and quickly sailed towards the island.

After an hour, the migrant fleet approached the outer edge of the island, at which time the sailors who had landed on the island brought the situation.

The island is about 0.7 kilometers in size. A group of indigenous people of yellow color are active on the island. According to the features described by the soldiers, several naval officers responsible for the immigration transport fleet believe that the indigenous people on the island belong to the Polynesian race, and New Guinea, The black natives of the Vatu Anu Islands are not of the same race.

"0.7 square kilometers, hundreds of indigenous people, based on this speculation ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ The natural conditions on the island should be good."

Although the area of ​​the island is only 0.7 kilometers, the possession of the living materials and resources for hundreds of indigenous people at least proves that it is not a loss to swear by the sovereignty of the island.

"Send a hundred soldiers to the island to bring some food to the island and declare to the indigenous people that the Han Empire has undisputed sovereignty over the island. From today, they are overseas subjects of the Han Empire."

Most of the islands in the South Pacific are small and far from the mainland. Many small islands with an area of ​​a few thousand square kilometers and dozens of square kilometers are landless. Therefore, while Britain, France, Germany, and the United States have not paid attention to these small islands, Opportunity, sworn in advance, has become a very meaningful thing on the long journey of the migrant transport fleet.

The South Pacific route opened for more than a year, and the navy and sailors on the ship did not do less similar things. Therefore, after Mei Dongxing issued an order, the sailors not only quickly arranged the candidates for landing on the island, but also took out a stone tablet prepared in advance .

"Sir, every time you go out to sea, the fleet will carry ten steles with carved names. This time from the South American mainland, only a small island floating on the surface was found. We have nine remaining steles. You just pick a stone stele and give the island a name. "

A low-ranking naval officer in charge of the immigration transport fleet laughed.

"Jianye Island, this is the stele."

"Adults will really choose, the island named after the year of your Majesty, so choose this."

The naval officer glanced at the stele name and waved the sailors to move the stele to the ship.
