Chapter 497: Seize the Coal Mine

This port was an important coal export port in northern Vietnam in later generations, and the nearby coalfield was the largest coalfield in Southeast Asia, with reserves of several billion tons. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Huang Sheng's main purpose in choosing to seize Annam was two, a grain base and a high-quality coal mine. These two elements, together with the high-grade iron ore on Hainan Island, are crucial to the future development of the Huang family.

Later, the location of the port of Hong Kai in Vietnam was quickly found, and the construction of the port, the construction of a fortress to guard the port, the construction of a grain depot and other infrastructure immediately began.

The Chinese Navy Sentinel Horse Ship and Transport Ship have long been on the coastline, and they have been keeping in touch with the army under the personal command of the family master through high-powered telescopes.

This place will never be given up by Huang Sheng, the simple wharf is spliced together by sealed pontoons, cement and steel are immediately unloaded, and more than 80,000 men and women captured by the Great Yue Kingdom cooperate with 890,000 Han immigrants to start construction under the guidance of Huang family engineering and technical personnel.

There were 7,000 families of immigrants who came with the boat, all of which were premeditated immigrants in Huang Sheng's plan, which can be described as well-organized, and the grassroots civil officials and the Xiangyong families who stayed behind to guard have achieved tacit cooperation.

The new immigrants brought from Qinzhou were actually unplanned, and the original immigration plan had no intention of going overland.

Huang Sheng saw that there were more than 180,000 people gathered in Qinzhou, and it was too wasteful of time and capacity to transfer ships, so he took them on the march and arranged for senior villagers who would return after the mission to temporarily manage and protect them.

After taking a foothold on the coast, the entire set of immigrants finally arrived under the leadership of Ge Chengjie.

Most of these people were promoted as soon as they got off the boat, and many of the immigrant activists were promoted to chief of security, chief of security to chief of armor, and so on. Because 7,000 households are involved in managing tens of thousands of new immigrants.

Huang Sheng gathered the grassroots civil officials of the immigrants in the plan, including the newly promoted security chief, to hold a meeting to let everyone speak freely, asking whether they could manage the people who could handle them well, and whether they could achieve basic fairness?

As soon as the ship got off the ship, the officials were promoted to the next level, and the basic managers of the planned immigration music were unsupportable, and they all patted their chests and assured that they were only afraid of a small number of people, and now the head of the family has given such a large place and such a large population at once, please take a look!

In less than a year, the place they manage will definitely be a civilized society that is no less clean and hygienic than Huangjiawan Island Road.

Their subordinates are very confident, Huang Sheng is very satisfied, their self-confidence does not come from ignorance, on the contrary, they all have experience in managing the community, and everyone will copy the Huang family's reclamation.

They were not afraid of disobedience from the aliens, because they carried rifled guns with double-barreled short guns pinned to their waists, and the chief had at least thirty village warriors and at least ten smoothbore guns under his command.

With such an armed task force, of course, it is relatively easy to carry out its work, first use force to make the people obey the arrangement, and when everyone tastes the sweetness of food and clothing brought by the rule of the Huang family, and gradually become rich, social stability is just around the corner.

Ge Chengjie has been operating in Lingao for several years, and he is experienced and familiar with the resettlement work.

After Huang Sheng sent the immigrants to occupy the area, he sent Huang Jiayong to explore the surroundings in a unit of 100 generals, and soon found several open-pit coal seams.

Ge Chengjie arranged for 20,000 women from the Yue Kingdom and 10,000 children between the ages of 10 and 14 to make brick embryos. The labor intensity of brick making embryo is not large, but it is very trivial, which is suitable for women and children.

The work of opening the mountains and quarrying, building roads, and excavating and transporting coal had to be completed by strong laborers.

The unloaded cargo ships could not return to Hainan Island empty, and the wheelbarrows brought in coal loaded in wicker baskets, and Hainan Island finally obtained high-quality anthracite.

Under the leadership of the experienced Gu Shanhai, the era of large-scale steelmaking is coming soon, and the Huang family's steel output may become the world's first next year.

The harbor under construction in the occupied territory will not only have a fort and a military fort, but will also have a new city to rise.

There are a lot of engineers who have participated in many urban repairs, expansions and reconstructions, and they will soon start to build the Port Grand Theater, Huaxia Daqian Village, Huaxia Post Office, Official Office, Chenghuang Temple, Confucius Temple, and of course, how to build a commercial street will also be in the planning.

The importance of propaganda is well known, especially in the 1,500-seat Grand Theatre, which can not only educate and transmit positive energy, but also organize meetings to convey government decrees.

In the sixties and seventies, most of the liveliest places in a county town were near movie theaters.

The best way to prevent the enemy from attacking is to take the initiative to attack the enemy, while building the port, the army will continue to advance without delay, the target is Anle County, followed by Zhi Ai, and then there is finally a place that can be regarded as a city, Beijiang, which is the capital of the Great Yue Kingdom.

The seizure of this place did not cause any casualties to the Ming army, the cavalry rushed to block most of the fleeing crowd, and the soldiers and civilians of Dayue who were ready to hold on to the city were frightened by the three rounds of field artillery fired in a row, and they scattered and fled in all directions, and the howling wolf soldiers slashed and killed like a frenzied one, and the soldiers and civilians of Beijiang immediately knelt down rationally.

Before the second-echelon white-pole soldiers seized the opportunity to kill the enemy, the soldiers and civilians of Beijiang City disarmed and surrendered one after another.

The Ming army, the white pole soldiers, and the wolf soldiers felt that it was too cool to fight with the Huang family's private soldiers, and often after the artillery roared and a few rounds of musket salvos, the opponent would be lifeless, and then the Ming soldiers from all walks of life chased the enemy's ass to cover up and capture the prisoners.

The results of the battle to build a decent city were good, a lot of grain and precious metals were made, and the number of laborers who built the city to be named "Annan Port" and "Annan City" increased by 40,000 or 50,000, and there were 2,000 more captives who could speak Chinese and call themselves Han Chinese.

The Huang family's private soldiers immediately announced a policy of ethnic integration under the leadership of the Han people, and many Jing people who could speak Chinese learned that the Han led other ethnic groups, and most of them informed the Huang family private soldiers that they were Han people, and their ancestors were the Jiaozhi people of the Han Dynasty.

It turns out that these people know history! Soon all the Dayue captives discovered that the Han captives were treated differently from them.

Han captives were allowed to eat three meals and enough biscuits, instead of two meals and porridge as they did, and each person could only eat one ration of cooking cakes.

Of course, this is deliberately done by Ge Chengjie and his team, artificially creating inequality, and it is relatively easy to get fair treatment.

As expected, there were more and more self-proclaimed Han Chinese, many Han Chinese who could not speak Chinese appeared, night schools were opened, and learning to speak Chinese and learn to write Chinese characters became the only way for everyone in Jing to improve their treatment.

Regardless of whether he is a real Han or a fake Han, within 20 years, they are all Han people, and they can't be distinguished at all.

After the scores of the villagers, 2,000 Han people from the Great Yue Kingdom who actively served the Ming army were selected to become the team leaders of the ten men, who could not only eat three meals, but also get ten cents a day for labor.

As long as there is hope, there will be a rush, and the life of the small people of the Great Yue Kingdom is also very hard, they have inherited the spirit of the Han people to bear hardships and stand hard work, and they work hard every day.

Now that they have become captives, their daily workload is not much different from their usual work, they used to eat two meals and may not be able to fill their stomachs, but now they can eat a full stomach, most of them work with peace of mind, and few are ready to escape.

Knowing that working hard and learning Chinese will lead to a better life, the enthusiasm for work and study has been greatly improved, and the construction project of "Annan Port" has progressed rapidly.

On the sea, cargo ships came and returned with full loads, and the materials and machinery that had been prepared for more than half a year piled up in Lingao and Thanksgiving ports were continuously transported.

The first batch of immigrants who came with the ship to work on Hainan Island and train for military training also landed.

Many of these people were Han people who had been Aha rescued from Houjin, and many were immigrants from Dongjiang Town who had been exchanged for food, and they had participated in military training for nearly a year, and their combat effectiveness and discipline were much stronger than those of the new immigrants who had been trained in Qinzhou.
