Chapter 944: Go to America and Send Dongyang Po!
Liu Liang, a former clothed servant from Shengjing Mansion (now called Shenyang) outside the Guanwai, walked down the Henan in tears.
Because he knew that this was the last time he set foot on the land of Shenzhou in his life!
He was captured by the Ming army in the Battle of Shengdian, first as a coolie on Tianjin and the Weihe River, and then built the city, and then pulled fiber, although the life was very hard, but he still had hope - the hope of going home! Go back to your home in Shenyang, Northeast China, go back to farming, go back to live a good life with your grandmother and brothers, and marry a wife if you have the opportunity......
In his opinion, he can go home, because he is not a serious Qing army, he is just a clothed minion, and he is not an old Baoyi, but a Han peasant who went out of the customs to make a living after Duoduo ruled the Guanwai, just hung up the name of Baoyi, in fact, he was farming and paying grain, and he didn't think of being a soldier for Duoduo. It was only because his family owed money to a banner man in order to marry his brother's wife that he had to follow him to join the army, not to fight, but to serve the master before and after the saddle.
But in the end, the old man ran away (following Nikan), but he was left on the battlefield as a prisoner.
However, the Ming officials and soldiers who guarded him were quite reasonable, except for letting them work without pay, and if they didn't work hard to be beaten, they didn't abuse them much, and they still gave them food and a way to live. So he was looking forward to the day of release!
But things turned out to be much more than he expected!
Release is impossible! How is it possible to put? With so many coolies asking people to do it, how could they just let go of these captives who don't want money?
To be released is also to be exiled!
In the end, seeing that he worked very hard, he was given a little preferential treatment, and he could choose one of the three penal colonies.
These three places of exile are: the Western Regions, which is the new J of the later generations; the Kim Ou Army, that is, the area of Ho Chi Minh City in later Vietnam; The House of the Americas, Peanutton, is the area of Seattle, Washington, later the United States...... The quality of these three penal colonies is clear at a glance, although the Western Regions are bitterly cold, and Jinou has many epidemics, but they are all stronger than Seattle!
went to the Western Regions and Jinou, and there may be a chance to return to the Central Plains in this life...... According to the explanations of the Ming officers who sold them the penal colony, Jinou and the Western Regions are still on the Shenzhou continent (Asia was given the name Shenzhou Continent by Emperor Zhu), and the American Mansion belongs to the American continent, which is not a good place when you hear it, and they are not allowed to come back if they go, they have to be Americans for generations!
So Liu Liang wanted to go to the Western Regions when he first started, he had heard of that place, and Tang Monk had been there when he took the Western Scriptures, except for the monsters, other aspects were not bad...... Because now he has arquebuses and flintlock pistols, he doesn't have to worry about youkai anymore.
But to go to the Western Regions, you have to give priority to the "family package", you have to have a wife to follow, so that the generations can take root and dedicate, and Liu Liang is alone, so he can't go!
Then he wanted to go to Jinou, which sounded quite rich. But they told him that he would be able to grow rice when he went to Jinou, but he wouldn't! Therefore, Jin Ou can't go, and there is only one American Mansion left.
But he was still unwilling, so he continued to be "Liu Bailao" and worked as a coolie for Emperor Zhu...... Until not so long ago, thirty "preferential places" were given above, go to "America", and send a Japanese wife!
That's a big deal...... And there are only thirty of them!
Liu Liang thought about his life was hard, not only poor, but also a prisoner, and he was not young, he was in his twenties, I don't know when this coolie was a head? If you don't let go after three or five years, maybe you will have to be a single person in this life!
It's not bad to have a wife now, even if it's ugly, even if it's older, it's all recognized!
So as soon as he gritted his teeth, he chose the preferential package to send a Japanese lady to the United States......
As a result, I only knew that I had been fooled when I got on the Henan!
The House of the Americas does not exist at all, there is a place, but there is no such house...... That place is now a wild place, and there is nothing!
In order to open up the territory, the imperial court sent a company of flintlock pikemen across the sea to occupy a point. However, after completing the mission, this company will return to China, and it is impossible to stay for a long time. Therefore, the top selected 30 strong men from the captured Qing army to go to the United States to farm...... Someone has to farm the land! Otherwise, how could you open up a colony there and operate for a long time?
Farming in places where you are not familiar with the climate and soil conditions is a gradual process, and it is impossible to start with tens of thousands of people, otherwise you will starve to death in large numbers if the harvest fails.
Therefore, the first batch of 30 farmers planned to cultivate 1,500 acres of land to grow wheat, and if they could harvest 2,000 or 3,000 stone of wheat, it would mean that the land in the United States could still grow grain.
And in order to allow these thirty farmers to produce some small farmers in Sea, Wei Zaode, who was in charge of the American colonization, also proposed to ask the Navy Division, which is responsible for transporting and mobilizing immigrants, to find wives for these thirty farmers!
It's hard to kill the navy! How can the navy have such resources!
Later, Zheng Jiangong remembered that his uncle Zheng Hongkui was "pimping" in Japan, so he gave the problem to Zheng Hongkui.
That's why there is a preferential activity to send a Japanese wife to the United States...... Liu Liang and 29 other good men were attracted by the "Japanese wife" to the Henan to the United States.
"Don't be in a daze, get to work!"
The shout of a naval officer rang in Liu Liang's ears, Liu Liang wiped away his tears, and then walked forward, and when he reached the mountain of supplies, two flintlock musketeers who disembarked from the ship pressed a sack of wheat on his shoulder, and then asked, "Would you like another pack?" ”
"Okay!" Liu Liang has the strength, otherwise he would not have been "deceived" to go to the Americas to be the first batch of pioneering farmers!
Thirty sturdy pioneers, plus more than a hundred equally strong flintlock pikemen, plus a few sailors, all worked together to carry the supplies piled up on the docks one by one onto the Henan.
By the time the supplies were delivered, it was already early in the morning, and it was already time for the sky to begin to lighten.
At this moment, about thirty small Japanese wearing hats and loose kimonos, suddenly entered the docks of Uraga Port and headed for the Henan, escorted by a dozen warriors dressed as ronin.
Liu Liang had already finished carrying the big bag at this time, and was panting on the deck, when a naval officer of the Ming Army, who usually guarded these immigrants, suddenly shouted: "All the Americans get off the ship, and there is still a batch of goods to carry!" ”
When Liu Liang and the others heard the order, they hurriedly disembarked along the gangplank, but when they arrived at the wharf, they did not find the goods, and only saw 30 "Japanese children" wearing hats and standing in a row.
Where's the thing? Why didn't you see it?
Just as they were wondering, someone shouted a word in Japanese, and all the "Japanese children" took off their hats on their heads, and then in the dim light on the dock, Liu Liang realized that they were all girls...... It looks very small, is it enough to be sixteen years old?
At this time, someone shouted: "One person, one person, no robbery, whichever one is sent is which one......"
Liu Liang and the others were stunned, what was going on? What to send?
The officer was a little impatient when he saw that everyone was not moving, and said loudly, "What are you waiting for? Wife...... The contract has been agreed, you have all signed, and now you are not allowed to suspect that the family is small. Whoever the fuck dares or not, they have to be martialized! ”
Military law is to shoot the meaning of shooting, either take the wife sent down from above and take the boat, and then go to the United States to give birth to a baby, or shoot!
It sounds ridiculous, but it's absolutely necessary, because that's colonialism!
Colonization and colonization, the people who breed are colonization!
As soon as I heard that I wanted to engage in military law, no one dared to think that these Japanese wives were too small, so they all lined up and stepped forward one by one to get married, which can be regarded as a family!
When the Henan arrives in the United States, they still have to start a business, they still have to farm, and they have to reproduce a few more generations!
