"Destroy all these documents, not a single one of them will be kept! Remember, whoever keeps the bottom will be court-martialed, I'm not kidding! Let's do it! On March 2, 1687, in a military camp on the east coast of South Africa, Yang Liang, commander of the South African garrison and commander of the first provisional regiment, pointed to a stack of documents and said.

These documents, including battle plans, orders, and some warrants written during the operation, were basically drafted by the staff officers, and the original drafts were in their hands, and the rest were distributed to the front-line companies. Yang Liang's meaning is that everything should be collected and destroyed in a unified manner to prevent future troubles.

Some people may wonder what kind of unsightly thing this Yang Dashuai has done, so that he even has to destroy the battle warrant and records, is it necessary? Could it be that he is trying to rebel?

Well, it's a joke to say that the rebellion is coming, but in fact, what Yang Liang wants to destroy is their previous battle record of conquering the natives. These natives are Bantu blacks living on the east coast of South Africa, mostly Zulu speaking among the Xhosa ethnic group, with no decent organization and a very low level of civilization, plus they have no contact with outside merchants - what are you kidding, do you want to get mixed up with the indigenous trade in South Africa under the repeated orders of the East Coast people - so the weapons and equipment are also very inferior, so they were beaten badly in many battles with the 1st Provisional Regiment of the East Bank Army. Yes, they are brave and desperate, but how can flesh and blood withstand the Iron Storm? When the cannon of the East Coast people went off, it doomed them to defeat!

Some of these defeated Turen tribes became captives of the people on the east coast and were captured in the area of Yiyang Bay to work on the construction of bridges and roads. Yes, for various reasons, it was naturally "disposed of", and now it is this part of the battle record that needs to be destroyed, so as not to leave any trouble in the future.

For example, the record that Yang Liang now ordered to be destroyed is the battle that just ended yesterday. They defeated a migrating tribe of natives in the wild in Liangu Township, a newly established settlement near the later city of Ulundi, and used the grain, cattle and sheep they carried with them as military supplies. These people, according to custom, were supposed to be uniformly escorted to the rear and guarded, waiting to be "tamed" and used as coolies. Although a batch of wheat was supported by the Hezhong area and a batch of corn was sent to Xinhuaxia Island, this was only enough to maintain the living needs of the local soldiers and civilians and the existing slaves, and the extra little had to be stored as reserve grain and could not be moved lightly.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Yang Dashuai ordered that all the more than 2,000 blacks be "disposed of". As for what "processing" means, well, anyway, what is written in the command book is "processing", so don't go into the details. Anyway, the brothers of the first regiment will deal with the whole thing, and the relevant written records must not exist, and other traces must also be buried deeply, so as not to be dug up in the future and shocking.

In short, they are actually in line with the country's general policy. You know, the theory of the yellow-black dividing line was not put forward by them, don't look at what they have been fighting and killing on weekdays, it seems to be very vicious, but it is indeed the white shirts who sit in the office who really put forward this theory of apartheid. They lightly scratched the paper, creating an artificial dividing line, and I don't know how much bloodshed was caused by this. The fate of the large group of Bantu blacks was knocked straight down in front of this merciless dividing line and fell into the abyss. And now, with the destruction of all kinds of records and documents, the last trace of their existence (the branch that went south) is likely to be erased, no one mourns, no one hangs, just like the countless civilizations that have disappeared in history, forgotten in the long river of history.

"In addition, send someone to inform the officials of the Black Eight Banners in Yiyang County (established at the beginning of this year, under the jurisdiction of Yiyang Township, Pingjing Township, Zhongshan Township and Qi'an Township, a total of four settlements, and is the 147th county-level administrative unit in the country), so that they do not have to wait. The 1,000 men who promised them were chosen from among the slaves on the state farms, and let them finish the election early and get out of the way. By the way, let them pay attention to the schedule themselves, and don't wait for the boats to pick up the people and be confused, I don't know what to say. Yang Liangtu commanded again.

The staff officer understood what he meant, and this was addressed to the few Black Eight Banner Clarks who were waiting in Yiyang Harbor. In the past few years, the Black Eight Banner has suffered great losses from young and middle-aged people because of helping the people on the east coast to fight in the east and west, and sometimes even going to sea to fight, so it needs to be replenished for a long time. In the past, when the South African garrison army went out to fight, they would often hand over some captured tribes to the Black Eight Banner warriors who accompanied the army to take them away, so as to replenish their manpower, and at the same time let them not resent the cruel oppression of the people on the east coast too much.

This time, Yang Dashuai led the main force of the South African garrison to fight in the area of Yiyang Bay, and the Black Eight Banners also sent 1,000 elite warriors to accompany the army as usual, which played a significant role in the battle against the black indigenous tribes. Now this group of Black Eight Banner warriors has been divided into several units, some of them continue to sweep the remnants of the enemy around, some are transporting grain and grass, and some have returned to Yiyang Port to rest. Yang Liang's meaning is to let these Black Eight Banner officials not think too much, they didn't get too much oil and water from this expedition, let them not dream about how many slaves they have caught to strengthen their own strength, and quickly select a group of people from the state farm who perform well on weekdays and leave (it is also a reward for these people, and make an exemplary role for the rest of the blacks), even if it is the severance pay for this expedition.

And when it comes to such a political and military force as the Black Eight Banners in South Africa, we cannot fail to mention the Free State Kingdom located on both sides of the Mo River in North America. This black country established by the core elite class of the Black Eight Banners is based on the more than 100,000 Black Eight Banner Buraku people still in South Africa. For many years, because of the trade concession, the Caribbean Shipping Company, a famous colonial trading company on the East Coast, has been carrying out the important task of transporting the Black Eight Banner Buraku to North America. However, due to various reasons such as fees, this company has always been very reluctant, and there are not many Black Eight Banner Buraku who transport to North America every year, and sometimes when the government is watching, it may arrange more ships to transport, but most of the time it is very lazy to be honest.

In the last decade or so, Air Canada's motivation to ship people has increased slightly, as the government has begun to give them a capitation subsidy, which is a reward of a few dollars for each person who lands. Although the subsidy is not much, it is not in vain after all, and they have also approved the establishment of many more commercial establishments in the Hezhong area, so the speed of transporting people has been accelerated.

In recent years, with the prevalence of the yellow-black dividing line theory, many new political stars in the new generation of East Coast China have stated in public or private that it is necessary to move the South African Eight Flags to other places as a whole, so as to make more living space for the East Coast country. In particular, they pointed out that even in the rich counties of South Africa, such as Hezhong County and Cape County, there are a large number of villages inhabited by the Black Eight Banners, and they farm and graze cattle in the local area with peace of mind, or go out to help the people on the east coast build houses and roads, or send troops to help the people on the east coast to conquer and refuse, and then reap considerable wages or booty, and live a very prosperous life. Moreover, their social system is extremely closed, the leaders control everything, the lower classes are barbaric and ignorant, and the whole country within a country, so it is better to move them to another place as a whole to prevent future troubles.

This kind of argument, to be honest, is somewhat unfair to those Black Eight Banner tribes who have been fighting for the interests of the East Coast Republic for many years. But so what? Except for a few "virgins" who felt guilty about this, most of the people did not care about the thoughts of the Black Eight Banners tribe at all, and they were more concerned about how to transport the number of 1780,000 black people (Xhosa, Khoisan, Swazi, Swahili, Zulu, Tongan, and Comoroan, and the composition was very mixed). Air Canada alone will never be able to ship such a large number of blacks to the North American continent over the years, but the number of the Black Eight Flags in South Africa has increased slightly, and it is still a number that they have been fighting for years and losing their population - so a more appropriate solution is needed.

At present, the general solution is multi-pronged. That is: 1. The Caribbean Shipping Company will continue to transport the Black Eight Banners (as much as possible to families and tribes) to the Mohe region of North America, and at the same time support them to further explore the upstream zone and expand their territory to accommodate more people; Second, to carry a group of Black Eight Banners to the north of the Swahili coast of East Africa, where most of the princes who believe in the Green Religion (there are also Catholics, but not many), after sending these Black Eight Banners tribesmen who believe in Tianzun over, support them to occupy a piece of land in the local area, start from a city-state, slowly develop, and eventually become the local agent of the people on the east coast, and by the way, also cultivate a Chinese-speaking country on the Swahili coast, which is also a very important matter; Third, it closely echoes the idea of the yellow-black dividing line, and relocates some of the Black Eight Banner tribesmen to the originally demarcated territorial demarcation line, giving them a state, as the first line of defense against the southward movement of blacks.

This last solution, to be honest, is more complicated and difficult to operate. This is because according to the plan drawn up by the Joint Staff Headquarters to the Princes of the Executive Committee, it is to send these people to the area of Zambia in the future generations and establish an independent state. But the problem is that the people on the east coast do not even control all of South Africa, especially in the northern part of South Africa, where the environment is harsh and sparsely populated, and the people on the east coast are still in the process of trying to establish small settlements.

In recent years, the East Coasters have generally not invested much in the expansion of the Orange River Basin. By the end of 1686, they had set up three riverside settlements near the town of Pera on the south bank of the Orange River in the Northern Cape of South Africa, near the town of Kakamas, and near the border city of Abington in Namibia. The number of people in the three settlements is very pitiful, some even only a few hundred, and they can only barely support themselves until now, at most they can supply the cavalry on the east coast with food and horse fodder for the cavalry passing through here, and this has already killed them. If more than 100,000 Black Eight Banner tribesmen go north along here, I'm afraid it won't be enough to eat them all.

Therefore, if you want to get these more than 100,000 Black Eight Banners to the north, you have to think of another way. People, you must not be able to go all at once, so the already fragile logistics supply system along the way will collapse in an instant, and everyone will finish playing together, so you will score several batches of walks. In addition, there must not be only one route, it is best to divide it into left, center, and right branches, and go north together, so that it is possible to cross the sparsely populated areas of northern South Africa and the more brutal and vast Kalahari Desert, enter the relatively humid Zambian highlands, and finally settle down and become a barrier for people on the east coast.

In short, this is a huge, complex project, the cost will definitely not be less, and it is very likely to provoke the rebellion of the Black Eight Banner people, so it is necessary to make multiple preparations in advance, and then step by step, not in a hurry to complete it in a short time, in short, it must be completed without hindrance, even if it takes twenty years for this, it doesn't matter, anyway, there are no competitors or opposition forces in the vicinity.

And once these Black Eight Banner tribes move to the Zambian plateau, with their civilization level - although they were forcibly transplanted to them by the people of the East Coast, they are already enough to be proud of the surrounding areas - with the level of equipment and institutional advantages, they should be able to beat all the natives around them under the control of the people of the East Coast. They can even cope with the occupation of the Zimbabwean highlands in the southeast by the East Coast under the command of the East Coast military advisers, which is quite significant.

Yang Liang once assessed them, believing that if more than 50,000 Black Eight Banners carried existing weapons and equipment, farm tools, seeds, livestock and war horses to the north, then they would be enough to control a radius of several hundred kilometers, which is already the scale of a medium-sized country, enough to become the most powerful barrier of the yellow-black dividing line (the other barrier is the vast, arid and barren Kalahari Desert), so that the people on the east coast can calmly carry out various constructions in southern Africa.

In a place like Southern Africa, the people of the East Coast will never give it to others! South Africa has a huge amount of high-quality coal and countless gold; Zimbabwe was later known as the "bread basket of Africa", producing food and tobacco; The southern part of Mozambique is also fertile with herds of cattle and sheep, as well as fisheries offshore. Crucially, the number of blacks in these areas is very small, which is very conducive to the East Coast people to clean up and make room for their own people.

Although the East Coasters were more than five centuries behind the Bantu blacks, who were also outsiders to southern Africa and had already entered south-central Mozambique in the 10th century, they were more productive, organized, and planned, and it was not impossible to expel them from southern Africa, where the population was not yet overflowing. As a high-ranking officer of the East Coast Republic of China, Lieutenant Colonel Yang Liang naturally did not fail to understand it, so he would definitely not discount it when implementing various policies, such as the current "disposal" of the indigenous forces leading to the gold mines and coal mining areas is the result of this guiding ideology.
