Chapter 887: Let's Make a Disturbance of the Natives!
The northern hemisphere is gradually approaching the coldest winter of the year, but in the southern hemisphere, on the island of Timor between Nanyang and Nanmingzhou, it is still as hot as summer, and it is still in the wet and dry rainy season of the year, and it is bound to rain every afternoon.
This place can be said to be one of the least developed regions in the world in later generations, but this island, which is slightly larger than Qiongzhou Island and slightly smaller than Wanwan, is really rich in products.
Precious woods such as rosewood, green dragon wood [red sandalwood], sandalwood, eucalyptus, teak and other precious woods are produced here, and a large bamboo sea grows; Mineral deposits have been proven, including placer gold, copper, iron, gypsum, salt and sulfur, and the narrow coastal plains have mud volcanoes and fissures, and many hot springs.
A variety of crops such as corn, rice, sweet potatoes, grains, coconut, coffee, rubber, tobacco, sugar cane, beans can be grown, and sea cucumbers, hawksbill turtles and pearls can be harvested in the fishery.
The main reason for this place, which was reduced to the poorest country in the world in later generations, was not the lack of resources, but war and chaos.
The Wehrmacht, having settled the Dutch and Portuguese (consultations), occupied the place. It is regarded as a vital link in the transportation line from Nanyang to Nanmingzhou.
Therefore, many of the local Shengfan indigenous tribes have been taken care of by the 'ruthless' standing up team and security team.
It is home to a large population of three to four hundred thousand, where Indonesian and Papuan races and cultures meet, and where the ethnicity and language of the people are complex, and the locals believe in animism and ancestor worship. Many indigenous tribes have maintained the custom of hunting human heads, which has also served as a pretext for the IDF to kill the local indigenous people.
As an important part of the mainland's southward migration route, many of the Chinese on Timor Island are originally sick immigrants who disembarked halfway and recuperated in areas controlled by the Wehrmacht. They have land and houses here, and naturally more of them have settled down on the spot.
The official population of Port Dilly has exceeded 10,000, and there are no less than 5,000 'laborers' scattered in the vast agricultural reclamation areas around Port Dilly, including the Japanese who came to work, the obedient natives of Luzon and Annam, and the untamed prisoners of war from all over the South Seas.
The original translated name of Port di Li was Dili, the capital of the Portuguese colony in East Timor, and it was changed to a new name after it was accepted by Chen Han.
It is located on the northeast coast of Timor Island, bordering the Omni Strait, facing the island of Atauro, surrounded by mountains on three sides and bordering the ocean to the north. The climate is hot, with high temperatures all year round, but it is also a deep-water port.
Although the surrounding seas are rich in oil and gas, these things are clearly not what people in this era need. In addition to a small amount of placer gold, copper, tin and limestone resources, the surrounding mineral resources are relatively scarce, at least lack of coal. So don't look at the population here, it's quite a lot, but the manufacturing industry is quite weak.
Most of the inhabitants are engaged in logging, agriculture and fishing, the main agricultural products are corn, rice, potatoes, cash crops such as coffee, rubber, coconut, etc., among which coffee cultivation and rubber cultivation are just emerging. It can be said that in addition to supplying the fleet of ships with drinking water, food, and basic ship maintenance, most of the industrial and daily necessities such as iron manufacturing, cloth, and salt are completely dependent on local imports.
As a result, the simplification of the economy has made the export of forest agricultural products the most important economic pillar of the port, especially the logging industry, which accounts for more than 70% of the annual economic exports.
Dili Port has always been a strong place for the Japanese to stand up and the security team to stay, every dry season comes, they will go out from Dili Port, sweep the surrounding areas, the immigrants here must have enough land to cultivate, more to grow food, Nanming Prefecture has been short of food for many years, right? There is also animal husbandry, so that leather can be developed, coal resources can be found, and if coal cannot be found, it is impossible to develop mining and metallurgy.
However, the per capita income of the residents of Dili Port is not low, because they can also engage in entrepot trade, which is the only way from Nanyang to Nanmingzhou, at least in this era.
After years of hard work, agriculture has developed to a certain extent, although the food is still not completely satisfied, but this is mainly because there are too many people engaged in the mining industry here, and there is a steady stream of immigrants moving in.
But animal husbandry has really developed a lot here.
There are not only food processing factories in Nanmingzhou, but also leather products and wool spinning industries, which can ship a lot of leather and wool textiles to the mainland every year.
The use of foreign labour, logging and entrepot trade on a larger scale constitute the basic economic operation model of Port Tereli. Although a higher proportion of the economic gains have been taken away from home, prosperity is still the main theme of Terayo Port for now, especially for immigrant families who have lived in poverty for many years, as long as they do not compare themselves with the 'rich', it is a paradise in their minds.
There are things to eat, there are things to drink, and the cause of education is slowly unfolding, so what is not satisfied?
……
September of the eighteenth year of Chengtian.
At the Port of Dili mooring, a third-class sail battleship cautiously sailed into dry dock, ready to be cleaned of dirt from the bottom of the ship.
The crew was recuperating in the barracks, but the marines on board had gathered on the playground in rain gear, surrounded by a squad of marchers and three teams of vigilantes.
Although the vast majority of the clean-up operations take place during the dry season, it doesn't mean that they don't have to stay still during the rainy season.
Standing on the balcony on the third floor of the city government, watching the combined army of five teams drive out of Dili Port, the haze expression on the face of Chen Ziling, the mayor of Dili Port, has not changed.
After retiring from the logistics department, Chen Ziling has now achieved the position of 'mayor', although this rank is only half a level higher than that of the county magistrate in the mainland, but Chen Ziling is quite satisfied.
His good friend Qin Youzi entered the administrative system so many years earlier than him, and now he hasn't sat in the position of prefect? is still spinning from the position of the fourth grade. What else is unsatisfactory about Chen Ziling?
But the news he had just received today made him not happy at all.
The rainy season is like the winter in the Northeast, which is the most leisurely day of the year, and the logging industry and agriculture are all in a trough, and even fishermen dare not go far easily. But this year's idle days, Chen Ziling hadn't enjoyed it for a few days, and he received a message that he couldn't be idle anymore.
“…… His Excellency sent a message from the Governor, and that was the direction of the country. Direct shipping between Jawa Island and Nanming Prefecture will be realized, and the entrepot trade of Dili Port will be halved in the coming year. Therefore, we need to plan ahead, and the next phase of Teeli Harbour's expansion plan is about to start now. Chen Ziling said helplessly to the police chief of Dili Harbor.
To compensate for the decrease in entrepot trade, the income of the population will be greatly reduced, and the increase in logging is the first, and the addition of new cultivated land is the second. Maybe they will be able to discover coal mines after increasing the area under their control. Where in the world is there no coal?
"In the past, we eradicated the indigenous tribes with a tradition of headhunting, and we used trade methods to get them to sell their land, but now we don't need their consent. We need not only their land, but also their labor. ”
Foreign laborers need money, and the prisoner coolies, the Governor's Mansion will not be able to continue to allocate here, and Dilly Port needs to be self-reliant.
The police chief knew that the mayor was about to lose patience at this time, so he quickly lowered his voice, "I'm afraid that after we arrest someone, the governor's palace will issue a paper ...... "Compared to Jawa Island, Timor Island is raised by a little lady." "We don't have a better way to do it now. But you have to be as careful as possible about that......"
The police chief's words of 'hatred and hatred' made Chen Ziling's face greatly softened.
"Very good. That's where we come up with a piece. Chen Ziling, who has been pampered for many years, gradually became hideous at this time, "Whoever dares to leak the news to the Governor's Palace, he is the enemy of Dili Port." For the enemy, I, Chen Ziling, will never be soft. ”
"I need your police department to act. In the coming time, those who have failed the indigenous people may retaliate against us, and the police must play a preventive role. I will put the command of the Stand Force and the Security Force in your hands, and by the end of this year, I will not need to see a single native who can roam freely, including the coastal plain of fifty miles to or so of Dilly Harbour. To achieve this, it is not only the efforts of the standing team and the vigilante team, but also the police department should give it their all! ”
"Yes, Lord Mayor......" The police chief wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly nodded.
In the afternoon, when the rain arrived, two teams of security soldiers drove into a valley more than 30 kilometers east of Teli Port and forcibly drove away a small Indonesian village.
Hundreds of dark-skinned men, women, and children were silently carrying or carrying their household belongings, and with frightened and angry expressions, were escorted to the beach by the soldiers of the security forces with loaded guns. There are a couple of boats parked there!
Behind them, demons who were no taller than them were wantonly setting fire to their houses from the inside, and several corpses that had tried to resist were curling in front of the ruins, and many worthless wood carvings in the eyes of the security soldiers were reduced to nothing in the fire.
On the west side of the port of Dili, a detachment of marines and a detachment of 300 men and a squad of 300 men wiped out a small and large tribal nest, and three or four hundred aborigines were sent to the ship, while the soldiers of the security corps were driving the pigs, sheep and other livestock raised by the natives to the cabin.
It is impossible for Dili Harbor to wipe out all the indigenous tribes in its own 'sphere of influence', and when the dispatched national defense forces, advance teams, and security forces have eliminated several tribes, the indigenous tribes who have learned the news will flee inland one by one. Several 'harmless' indigenous tribes were expelled from the country, but during the eviction process, their livestock were forcibly seized by the Wehrmacht, the Standing Forces, and the Security Forces. The enraged natives almost grabbed stones, sticks, bows and arrows to reclaim their possessions, but under the guns of the black hole, the elders of the tribe prevented this impotent resistance. And if the tribal elders do not stop it, then the fate that awaits this tribe will inevitably be a piece of chicken feathers.
They will make themselves the same as the pigs and sheep, the property of the Wehrmacht.
Halfway through the completion of this major project, the news spread in Dilly Harbour. Nervous agriculturalists immediately received good news from the city government that more land would be available to them for use at very low rents in the coming year.
As soon as the indigenous tribes walked on their feet, the agricultural residents of Teli Port, accompanied by police and officials, came to their 'new territory' to take a look.
The hearts of the people of Dili Port were really stable all of a sudden.
Chen then openly said at the municipal government work meeting, asking some people not to isolate themselves from the people. Perhaps the Governor's Office did not really know about this, but it is very unlikely; It could also be that the Governor's Palace decided to let the city of Terei Harbour go.
Anyway, Chen Ming knew.
The National Security Bureau has investigated everything clearly, and the causes, processes, and results of the incident are all clear.
The familiar name of Chen Ziling once again entered Chen Ming's vision. But that's just getting in.
His actions and his courage are not worthy of Chen Ming's exceptional promotion of him.
Chen Ming paid attention to the number of indigenous people in Nanyang because of this. Compared with 10 years ago, has the number of indigenous people in Nanyang increased or decreased? How much has it been reduced?
Indonesia, Luzon and Malay, the three most populous countries in the Nanyang region in later generations, are now the three most densely populated countries in the Nanyang region.
Luzon has been trained for a long time, and even Mindanao, with its complex and changeable terrain, has been swept so many times over the years that the indigenous population has either surrendered or turned into a pile of bones.
And Jawa and Sumatra, except for the first killing, the others obediently obeyed the people. What is this change in population?
According to the national security report, the standard of living of the indigenous people in these areas does not seem to have changed much compared to the past.
The main means of population reduction, including the Malays, is war.
However, the efforts of these years have changed a lot. Buddhism and Taoism have taken root in Nanyang, and the dominant position of Tianfang Sect has not been shaken, but monotheism is about to disappear.
In terms of urban natives, many natives can speak Chinese, but not necessarily write Chinese characters.
There are not a few aborigines of the younger generation who hate Han Chinese, and there are not a few who tend to be Han Chinese. Under the Han people's 'leading by example', the indigenous people cultivated wasteland and cultivated more diligently, and the living conditions of some people seemed to increase.
However, the vast majority of these people are inclined to China.
The results of the sinicization of Nanyang seem to have some effect, but there is still a long way to go.
"The population is still too much." The time turned to October, the trilateral negotiations were coming to an end, and a brief count of the indigenous population of Nanyang was sent to Chen Ming, and the population was still more than 10 million.
"National security has to play a role. You are not just sending people to break into the anti-China faction, but you want to gain the leadership of the anti-China faction and lead the indigenous people with anti-China tendencies to riot and make them riot. ”
Chen Ming is planning to 'fish'.
As long as the effect is obvious, he can't care about some means.
His orders would have caused many natives to die, but those who died were the ones who deserved to die. Honestly, the indigenous people who have a heart for China will not die because of this.
This fishing law enforcement, is it also law enforcement?
If Chen Ming wants to digest the Nanyang natives as soon as possible, he must use extraordinary means to strip off the harmful parts of the latter as soon as possible!
