At this time, Zhu Beiguo, who was next to him, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said to Xue Huang and the others:

"Brother, since we talked about this Leizhou Tanhu, I know that there are many people under General Chen Shangchuan, and since the two of you are familiar with Leizhou Tanhu, I don't know if you can recruit some orphaned teenagers with good water skills for us to be sailors on our ship?"

Xue Huang and the others immediately nodded and promised to say that they should naturally pay attention to this time when they go back, and then Zhu Beiguo asked about the situation of these immigrants, Xue Laixiang said that since the last time six hundred men and women were sent, the fleet has made two trips back and forth to Leizhou and Wanshan Island during this time, and a total of more than 1,600 men and women have been transported, all of whom are family people, mixed men and women, and there are more than 200 young children of all sizes.

The makeshift settlements near the East Beach Pier — simple houses made of thatch and bamboo — are now full of people.

At this time, Zhu Beiguo looked at a group of ragged homeless people on the beach, and asked Xue Huang and the others with some concern, if these people knew that they would go as far as the South Seas, I don't know if these people would be willing to go with us.

Xue Huang and the others replied, Brother Zhu rest assured, these people heard that they followed the Australians to the sea to reclaim the land, ten acres per capita, and the granted land for eight years of cultivation is private land, they are all excited, and the capital of reclamation is not conceited, and they are also given agricultural tools and tools, how can they not allow it? Everyone is willing to follow them to the sea.

When Zhu Beiguo heard this, he then asked: I heard that these people are from Yunnan and Guizhou, and I think that this inland field is ready-made, and there are many barren and borderless lands, what is the reason for these people to migrate here?

Xue Laixiang replied that now the land of Yunnan and Guizhou belongs to the Tartars, and there is land, but most of them are occupied by the banner people, and most of these displaced people are tenants and military households in Mufu, Yunnan in the past.

Then Xue Laixiang said to Zhu Beiguo with emotion, when there is chaos today, it is time to change the dynasty, and now that the son of tomorrow has entered Burma, Mufu has also followed with his family, except for some soldiers and civilians who are close to the tenant households, hundreds of thousands of Mufu tenant slaves and military family members in Yunnan have not followed.

Why? Because I was lucky.

Zhu Beiguo nodded when he heard this, he understood what Xue Laixiang meant by luck.

Yes, that's right---- for this part of the tenants and military households, whether consciously or forced, all in all, Mufu has now abandoned these people, and this Huanghuang Mufu, which replaced the Ming Zhu family and stationed in Yunnan and Burma, has also changed from the original imperial relatives to anti-thieves.

Therefore, these tenants and military households originally thought that they might be free, and the land of their tenant masters might also be divided into their own private land by the new masters of the world, and from then on, we have changed from the generations of tenants of the powerful families to the yeoman farmers with their own land.

If this is the case, it is the smoke from the ancestral tomb that takes a big advantage.

In fact, this is not the conjecture of the tenants and military households, just in the period when the Qing Dynasty had just entered the customs until a few years ago, the imperial court had indeed done this!

Of course, the best fields may still be among the nobles, but as long as the nobles' fingers leak a little, it will be enough for us grass people to make a living.

However, these grass people ignore a basic fact---- that is, the Qing Dynasty has just entered the customs, and its foothold is not stable, and it is indeed possible to win people's hearts by beating local tyrants and dividing the land---- anyway, the wool is out of the sheep, and the court has not touched its own family.

However, this practice was gradually abandoned as the Qing Dynasty gradually gained a foothold in the Central Plains.

And now, the Ming Dynasty has already become yesterday's yellow flower, and now the so-called Ming Dynasty is just a corner of Yunnan and Guizhou, and the advantages of the Qing Dynasty are unstoppable, so why should the imperial court that is in control of the victory leave the fat meat to the powerless grass people? Why?

Therefore, when Wu Sangui's troops entered Kunming and the overall situation was decided, the next approach of the imperial court was very different from the wishes of these tenants and military households.

Nowadays, the new masters are Tartars, and the bannermen stationed in Yunnan and Guizhou want not only houses, property, but also land.

Obviously, these people have no intention of giving land to the tenants at all, not only that, but they also have to re-"naturalize and organize households" on the original basis, continue to let these tenants and military households be tenant slaves, and also shave their hair and change their customs!

In addition, the rebels have just crossed the border, many places have been plundered, and many people have no livelihood, of course, there is no doubt that among the looting soldiers, there are both Ming soldiers and Qing soldiers.

This not only caused a flood of refugees, but also a considerable proportion of people were really unwilling to shave their hair and continue to be tenants for the new masters, so during this time, there were many organized or semi-organized collective migrations in Yunnan and Guizhou, and some even whole villages.

At present, more than half of the refugees received by the Xue Laixiang brothers from the Leizhou Peninsula have fled from Yunnan with their families and become "wild people" in the deep mountains and old forests of the 100,000 mountains of Guangzhou.

Later, if they had not been relocated, many of these displaced people would have become what the magistrates called "familiar fans" and "raw fans" in the songs.

In the history of the Old World, according to many family genealogical records that have been handed down, many of these people did integrate into the local Miao, Yao, and Zhuang tribes, and a considerable number of them were exiled to Qiongdao and Annam, and then later, many people gradually flowed into the Nanyang Islands, and finally integrated into the local aborigines.

After Zhu Beiguo and the others learned about the origin of this group of people, they and the crew members on the Pride sighed in private, and the brothers commented one after another---- Now Daming is really exhausted!" This Yongli Emperor and his courtiers are also really mediocre! At present, the great enemy is still clinging to the traditional order, don't they know how to liberate the tenant slaves? Are you so reluctant to give the land to the servants?

Think about it, after these tenant slaves were given a piece of land, they then gave each of them a weapon, and then told the tenants who had just acquired their own land: Now that the Qing Dynasty is coming, as soon as they come, they will take back the land you have just been allocated, so what are you going to do?

You don't have to think about it, do you? If you think about it on your toes, you know what this group of tenants will do, right? I will definitely fight with the great tomorrow! Fight it!

Are you afraid that you won't be able to arouse the people's fighting spirit to resist the enemy? Even if you fail, you're not afraid, right? Because if you fail, you will lose your land no matter what!

It's really better to break the jar and break the net, and it is better than being exiled to Myanmar and suffering humiliation, and finally being strangled to death by Wu Sangui with a bowstring, right?

So Zhu Beiguo explained this---- This is a common problem of their old Zhu family, and they are lucky! Don't cry if you don't see the coffin!

I think that at the beginning, Li Zicheng surrounded Kaifeng, and the Fu King, who was worth hundreds of millions, was so guarding the family wealth, and he refused to pluck a hair to boost the morale of the soldiers guarding the city, what was the result? After the city was broken, all of them were cheapened by King Li Chuang, and King Fu himself was also lit with sky lanterns.

Speaking of this Yongli and Mu Mansion's head Mu Tianbo, that style probably has a fight with King Fu, so he watched the hundreds of thousands of tenant slave military households who had followed him for generations cheaper others.

However, in the face of such a group of displaced people, Ren Ke is very excited, as a fan, he has always been supportive and sympathetic to those who resist and escape the rule of the Qing Dynasty, and emotionally speaking, there is a natural affinity, in the face of this group of people who definitely belong to the "quasi-cliff mountain" in his eyes, Ren Ke soon entered the role of governor.

In these days, he visited almost all the families in this group, and although the language was not easy to communicate, and often the same language was spoken, Ren Ke would take every opportunity to communicate with these people---- including every distribution of food, every distribution of tools, and he continued his usual style - paying attention to children,

Every night, Ren Ke has to give these children cultural lessons, teach them and them to read, in this group of people, a total of more than 200 children, except for a small half of the infants, all have a little "teacher-student friendship" with Ren Ke to varying degrees---- at least the children's parents think that Ren Ke is their children's "teacher".

Through these exchanges, Ren Ke gradually established some prestige among this group of people, of course, this is only a preliminary, not so stable prestige.
