However, it is quite embarrassing that the hardest fist of the Governor is currently far away on the Leizhou Peninsula, and now there is only a garrison team in Xin'an City that has just expanded from 500 to 800 people, and there is not enough weapons and ammunition---- obviously this amount of troops is overstretched to control the Xin'an River Valley, let alone the buffer zone in the distance.

The newly added more than 300 soldiers were urgently recruited from the naturalization camp recently, and if it weren't for Sun Lao's timely personnel arrangements, let Fang Linyou, one of the four Wei Dongli brothers, get off the ship in advance and come over to help Xiao Pingguo, and only let Su Gao fly to the Leizhou Peninsula to assist Wei Hong—otherwise, the expansion and training of the Xin'ancheng garrison would not have been so smooth.

As for Hou Xianglin and Gui Xianning, one is still busy serving his wife for confinement and taking care of the construction of the Xin'an River Dam, and the other is managing all the factories in Xin'an City, obviously not helping Xiao Pingguo in army building and security affairs.

In the process of recruiting soldiers for the garrison, Xiao Fang and the others realized that the biggest bottleneck in Xin'an City is still the lack of population, and in the past, the jurisdiction of the Governor of Xin'an City was only limited to both sides of Xin'an City and the lower reaches of the Xin'an River, with naturalized battalions there, and the contradiction of manpower shortage was not prominent, but now it is suddenly different - now we have "expanded our territory", a total of 4,000 square kilometers of land! If we don't psychologically fill in with the population of Australia, how can we really control that land? And the mines there?

In addition, there is still unrest in the jungle in the southern part of Sinanseong, which was fought by the Portuguese and the Dutch a while ago, and although it was a tribal proxy war, Sinseong was also affected and was always on alert, so the recruitment and training of the garrison could not be relaxed.

Especially after Su Gaofei came, he was specially responsible for the training of the garrison, which made Xiao Pingguo greatly relieved, the soldiers of the current Xin'an City Garrison are still mainly black, and a small half of the other races---- the current Xin'an City Garrison, the future Second Brigade of the Federal Army, the composition of the soldiers is very complex, except for the former Ming soldiers and Japanese ronins who were incorporated in the early days and attacked Dili City with Pimont, you can see people all over the world: there are Europeans, Arabs, Indians, Annamite, There were even American Indians, who first boarded a Spanish ship across the Pacific Ocean to the Philippines and then to the island of Timor.

In short, these miscellaneous personnel are a major feature of the Xin'an City Garrison, so the most pressure on the traversers in Xin'an City is the exchange and training work, and the brothers are all envious of Wanshan Island and Zixia Island, because those immigrants are Han Chinese, and by the standards of Xin'an City, there are almost no communication barriers, and it is not too easy to carry out the work!

Therefore, it is natural that Xiao Pingguo and they set their sights on the distant northern continent, and now the Changfeng operation is in full swing, and our side is the side that has sent the most troops, from a fair point of view, how should we also divide some people over?

So a telegram was sent directly to Sun Lao, who had just returned to the Red Mansion with Nicole, and then another telegram was quickly sent from the Red Mansion to Macau, after the transit of the Pride, Wei Hong received an order from President Sun Lao Sun Da as the supreme commander of the federal army two days later: leave a small half of the troops to Su Gaofei to continue to carry out the Changfeng operation on the Leizhou Peninsula, Wei Hong led the rest of the soldiers, and took 5,000 men and women immigrants to take the Nicole back to Xin'an City.

Then, from next month, the number of migrants sent to Zixia Island will be reduced by a third, and of the reduced part, half will be sent to Sinanseong and the other half will remain in the Wanshan Islands.

The reason why Sun Lao made such an arrangement was that almost at the same time that Xiao Pingguo sent a telegram to Sun Lao, Macau Dai Xiaoshan also sent a telegram to Sun Lao requesting that some immigrants be left to develop the Wanshan Islands.

Dai Xiaoshan said in the telegram that the development of the Wanshan Islands on our side has been fully rolled out, and we are currently surveying the Dangan Islands -- it is the southernmost island in the coastal islands of the mainland and one of the largest islands in the Wailingding Ocean.

In those days, it was difficult for the boats of the Tanmen to leave the land so far into the open sea to collect seafood, and as for the merchant ships, the island was too desolate to have a dock or a place for supplies, so there were no merchant ships to dock at the beach unless they were forced to do so.

Moreover, this island is quite large, the year before last when the two brothers and sisters inspected the islands outside the Pearl River Estuary, they had planned the development of the single-pole archipelago, and Dai Huang Ai and others now believe that the development conditions are ripe and can enter the implementation stage.

For this reason, Xiaoshan Huang Lei also jointly sent a telegram to Li Junming and Ren Ke of Zixia Island, and the two brothers said in the telegram: Now the development of Wanshan Islands has entered a critical period, the labor force is very scarce, and the younger brother really needs the population, so he also asked Brother Li to forgive me, and then promised that we will not have too many at a time, 300 to 500 households, 2,000 people, if the next batch of immigrants has more, we will not intercept the flow of people, and all of them will be sent to you Yunyun.

Sure enough, the two doctors of Dai Huang are older and have cards, and they usually behave as people, and they are good at talking, so Li Junming and they really can't complain about anything.

Having said that, but in fact, the Wanshan Islands later intercepted the largest population---- but it was Xiao Pingguo, who was outspoken about the population, they did not want much population, according to later statistics, in the end, less than 20,000 people went to Xin'an City, and the population of those who stayed in the Wanshan Islands, including the Dangan Islands, was as many as 30,000 people!

This is also the fundamental reason why Xiao Ai's garrison was expanded to more than 3,500 guns in less than half a year, and because of the lack of Han immigrants in the Xin'ancheng Governor's area, the number of Han soldiers in the garrison could not occupy a numerical advantage, so the Xin'ancheng garrison never got rid of the title of "Foreign Legion".

In addition to the population brought by Operation Changfeng, in October, Ingre, a grandmother of the Church of Mercy, reported Zixia Island through a telegram on behalf of Xiaoshan, and she and her church grandmothers have found and contacted more than a dozen women's villages on both sides of the Xijiang River through various efforts.

Yang Qiaoqiao's letter of introduction helped Mama Angel a lot in her search activities, and the Australian Federation can be said to have spared no effort to support her in terms of funding, Mama Angel finally persuaded one of the dozen or so women's villages, and they agreed to move to Nanyang as a whole - this women's village was adjacent to the women's village that followed Yang Qiaoqiao, and after receiving a letter from Boss Yang, she finally decided to move the village to Nanyang, instead of following the original plan, to move deeper into the inland Qianjing Mountains - although she could escape the hustle and bustle, Miao Yao was barbaric, there are other hardships for the survival of the women's village.

Sure enough, the power of example has a peculiar effect, and with the southward movement of this women's village, many women's villages accepted the church's arrangement one after another, and began to enter Macao in batches and phases, took a sea ship to Xiaowanshan Island, and then boarded the shocking big iron ship and sailed to Zixia Island.
