After arranging these two major projects, Li Xiao's next step is to further emigrate to Taiwan in large numbers. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Li Xiao came to Taiwan in early November last year, and now in early January, two months have passed, and according to the news from Shandong's flying pigeon, nearly 200,000 displaced people have gathered in Shandong.
Li Xiao immediately replied to Chen Monkey, the governor of Dengju City, asking him to send all these displaced people to Jeju Island by boat first. It also stipulates that from now on, Jeju Island will be used as a transit point, and then its own fleet will be transferred to Taiwan Island.
Thinking that every month, the number of nearly 100,000 displaced people can be gathered, Li Xiao is very relieved.
In that year, Li Xiao will transport more than 1 million immigrants to Taiwan, and in addition to the people who have fled from Fujian and Guangdong without permission, the population of Taiwan Island will increase rapidly by geometric levels, the speed of wasteland development will be accelerated, and the economy will develop more rapidly.
Li Xiao, who came from later generations, knew that in the eleventh year of Chongzhen, under the joint attack of the official army, the power of the Liukou would continue to shrink, and if the historical process was followed, Li Zicheng and others would even be forced to run into the deep mountains and old forests of Shangluo Mountain in order to protect themselves. Therefore, this year can be described as a golden year for rapid development and growth for myself.
It's just that Li Xiao has to hurry up, because at the end of the year, it is likely that the Qing army in the north will invade the south for the fourth time as in history, and focus on attacking Shandong.
In this case, his plan to transport displaced people will have to be interrupted, so within this year, Li Xiao must speed up and transport as many displaced people as possible.
Another month has passed quietly, and basically all work on the entire island of Taiwan is on the right track.
In such a peaceful and stable state, the soldiers of the Pingnan Battalion also began to get married and start a family, and officially settled down on the island of Taiwan.
On February 28 of the 11th year of Chongzhen, he was Shu Lumu, a former Manchurian infantry sentry soldier. A big day for Akdan.
Sitting next to the bride wearing a red hijab and a bright red dress, the groom Shu Lumu, wearing a big red wedding dress in the style of a Han person, and wearing a bright red crown. Akdan, very excited and emotional.
Akdan originally belonged to the Manchurian Zhenghuang Banner, and the Zhenghuang Banner Gushan Ezhen Tan Tai is the same, the same belongs to the East China Sea Jurchen Kurkha Department, Chongzhen nine years, he followed Tan Tai, from the Xifeng Pass to break through, all the way south, captured the town in the west of Beijing, unexpectedly, only one day later, they were from Jintang City into the Beijing division of Li Xiaobu, besieged and broken the city.
After Li Xiao captured the border city of the town, he took matters into his own hands and cut out the liver of Tan Tai, the main general of the Qing army. 's actions show the dark and brutal side of this seemingly handsome young general, who hides a deep dark and brutal side in his heart.
It's just that Li Xiao's brutal action was extremely effective in deterring a group of Qing troops who had just surrendered, whether it was the Manchu soldiers, the Mongol soldiers or the Han army, almost everyone was so frightened that they were so frightened that they didn't dare to resist anymore.
Akdan was quite close to Li Xiao at that time, and clearly saw how this Ming army general dissected Tan Tai alive, and then with an eye for appreciating the artwork, he smiled and carefully watched Tan Tai's heart beating in his hand, which scared Akdan at that time to his legs trembling and dite flowing.
Next, after being forced to cut Tan Tai's corpse with a knife, Akdan, who was violently hit by terror and disgust in turn, felt that his mind was blank, and it seemed that he had become a walking corpse.
Subsequently, including Akdan, thousands of Qing army prisoners were forcibly escorted by Li Xiao to Jintangcheng for labor reform, these originally arrogant and domineering Qing troops, intimidated by Li Xiao's brutal and ferocious methods, along the way, there were as docile as rabbits, allowing the escorted Ming army to scold and beat, no one dared to resist.
After arriving in Jintang City, Akdan was assigned to a dark coal mine for labor reform, working from early morning to night every day, but the food was only enough to eat, as long as he was not careful, the overseer's whip hit like a torrential rain. This dark and humiliating period lasted for more than a year, in which many of Akdan's companions died, and the bodies were dumped on the border hill to be eaten by wild dogs.
Because of his hard work and obedience, Akdan finally survived this miserable time, and at this time, he was no different from a Han miner in terms of appearance and clothing.
Man is really a strange animal, after being brutally abused in this way, Akdan's original mood of hatred and anger gradually calmed down, and began to feel more and more resigned to fate.
Next, because of his good performance in the labor camp, he was reorganized as an auxiliary soldier. After joining the Tiger Army, they were subjected to high-intensity brainwashing education by the civil servants every day, and at this time, Akdan was already quite familiar with the Chinese dialect, and became more and more familiar with the various rules and slogans of the Tiger Army, until they were ripe.
This kind of brainwashing education intensified every day, so that Akdan's understanding of his own identity became more and more blurred, and he often looked at the person in the mirror who was wearing Han clothes and tied his hair like a Han in a daze, and he looked at it for a long time, and the feeling in his heart was indescribable.
Later, after two months of auxiliary training, Akdan and 600 other Manchurian soldiers were transferred from Jintangcheng to Dengzhou, Shandong, and then assigned to the Manchurian infantry post of the Pingnan Battalion.
By this time, Akdan, like the 600 Manchurian soldiers who had been selected for the infantry outpost, had silently accepted in his heart that from then on, he was a new identity of a Han Chinese. He began to desperately hope that he could make a meritorious contribution in the Tigers and fight for a brighter future for himself.
Therefore, at the beginning of last month, in the battle against the Dutch city of Gelan, Akdan fought extremely bravely and fought with the Dutch defenders. Unexpectedly, he was fighting with his teammates to attack the gate tower of Gelanjia Castle, but he was broken by a stray bullet of a Dutchman, and the Achilles tendon of his left leg was broken, and he became crippled and had to be discharged from the army.
Akdan's mood at that time can be said to have fallen to the bottom.
The ambition to make a name for himself was finally extinguished, and in his frustration, Akdan began to worry inexplicably.
He was afraid that the Shangguan would treat these soldiers who had been transferred from Qing prisoners to treat them differently, so that his evening would be bleak, but he did not expect that the Tiger Army treated all soldiers equally, and they were just as generous as those Han soldiers who were wounded and discharged.
After reviewing the statistics, the officials of the Supervision and Rehabilitation Department gave him a reward of 20 taels of silver, a disability pension of 60 taels of silver, and also awarded him a book of retired servicemen and a commemorative medal for military discharge.
With this book of disabled soldiers, Akdan could receive 1 tael and 5 yuan of silver from the local civil affairs office every month as a living allowance, and this money was paid until he died of old age.
And that military discharge medal is his mark of honor, and from then on Akdan has the right not to worship officials, as well as the qualification to exempt the whole family from taxes for five years.
Then, Akdan was granted 10 acres of the 200,000 acres of good arable land that he had taken from the Dutch, so that he was relieved of the hard work of clearing the land and living on his own.
At this point, Akdan finally completed the process of transforming from a soldier to a civilian in a short period of time.
Then, on the occasion of the registration of the Department of Civil Affairs and the issuance of waist cards, Shu Lumu. Akdan's name was officially registered by officials of the Department of Civil Affairs as Shukdan.
Later, next to his farmland, Akdan spent 15 taels of silver to build a fairly spacious house, which can be regarded as officially settling down in Tainan.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that since the construction of the house, there have been matchmakers who have been introduced to him who is now rich, housed and landed, and finally Akdan and a Taiwanese indigenous girl who has become a naturalized Han people, Cina, successfully got married.
It was only in September last year that the bride's tribe moved out of the mountains and became a member of the Han nationality. Up to now, under Li Xiaona's policy of coercion and inducement, nearly 30 tribes, large and small, have accepted the Han people's mode of life and production and officially become members of the Han nationality.
Since then, these two people, who were originally not Han people, finally became an official husband and wife who received a certificate in the Department of Civil Affairs with the identity of Han and the wedding ceremony of Han nationality.
This fate is strange, and what a way to go.
Akdan gently lifted the bride's hijab and watched carefully at what the bride Chyna who appeared in front of him looked like.
The bride with a slightly dark but healthy complexion, slightly curly black hair, slightly shrugged cheekbones, and thick lips, saw that he looked so seriously, and she lowered her head unconsciously, but smiled shyly.
Akdan hugged her tightly, smelling the warm and fragrant feminine scent of her, but there were tears flashing in his eyes.
"Cena, don't you really dislike me for being a cripple?"
"No, as long as you are good, even if you can't have both legs, I don't dislike you." The bride replied with difficulty in stiff Chinese.
Listening to the bride's sincere words, Akdan only felt that his eyes were hot, and he stopped talking, like a tiger coming out of the mountain, and threw her down on the bed.
The red candles flickered, the cool breeze fluttered, and in the room, the roar of a man and the groan of a woman fused together, like a tribute to life.
