Chapter 364 Taiwan (2) Public Sentiment
After that, Jiang Wulin and others, under the leadership of Yang Shaoqiu and other magistrates, got on a wooden wheel carriage and went all the way to Fengshan County. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info this comfort can not be compared with the new carriage of the Ming Dynasty. Fortunately, the Lanfang Mission is basically not an ordinary person. Except for a few former Lanfang officials, they were so pampered that they were dizzy and dizzy. The others were all calm and relaxed, and their faces were as usual.
In the evening, he also attended a banquet at the prefectural mansion. This was specially set up to entertain the Lanfang Mission. Although the wine and food are not as rich as the Manchu and Han banquets, there are countless wild foods in Taiwan. It tastes like it tastes different.
And because of Taiwanese immigrants, they are basically from Zhejiang and Fujian. Therefore, the dishes also have a strong Zhejiang and Fujian taste.
And Jiang Wulin's parents originally moved to Borneo from Zhejiang and Fujian. Therefore, in terms of taste, the original taste is also maintained. So that eating it now makes them feel like they are back in their hometown.
So during the banquet, the chips were staggered, and the cups and plates were messy. Laughter and laughter, so lively. The agents of the Intelligence Department who were hiding in the mission took the opportunity to sneak out of the county government and get in touch with the intelligence station set up by Daming in Taiwan.
After exchanging information and conveying the latest instructions from the Intelligence Department to the intelligence station, the agents returned quietly. Just as the banquet was coming to an end, Jiang Wulin pretended to be drunk and returned to his residence early.
As soon as the door was closed, the agent, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately walked out of the shadows. Without further ado, I presented the information I had just learned. It contains a map of the Qing military's military deployment in Taiwan, as well as the number of troops garrisoned.
That's the most important thing! In the future, when the Ming Dynasty comes, Taiwan's military leaks and holes will be completely exposed in front of the Ming Dynasty. In that case, it will also be convenient for the Ming Dynasty to take Taiwan lightly.
There are also relevant livelihood materials! For example, the number of local Han Chinese in Taiwan. This is based on the official statistics of the Qing Dynasty, and the raw data is obtained. The growth of the number of Han Chinese on the island since the recovery of Taiwan by Emperor Kangxi is recorded.
In the beginning, there were only tens of thousands. Up to now, the total number of Han Chinese has reached 1.19 million. Coupled with some black households, they all exceeded 1.2 million. This is due to the fact that after Fukangan quelled Lin Shuangwen's rebellion, he did not follow the rules and follow the practice of successive Taiwan prefects, forbade Han people to immigrate because of choking, and smuggled into Taiwan without permission. Instead, it adopts the immigration policy of fully opening up Taiwan, and as long as you declare the local government, you can automatically join the Taiwanese nationality.
The Han people immigrated, like a flood that opened the floodgates, and vigorously moved to Taiwan. The number of people has also skyrocketed from 10,000 per year to 100,000 per year.
You know, these people are an extremely important force. If all of them are absorbed by the Ming Dynasty, it will definitely change the ethnic structure of the Ming Dynasty. As a result, the steadily rising proportion of Han Chinese has skyrocketed. The first ethnic group of the Ming Dynasty, the Australian aborigines, was squeezed into the second. It also avoided the rising number of Vietnamese immigrants and became a dominant family.
However, at present, these Han immigrants are not doing well in Taiwan. Because in recent years, there have been droughts, floods, typhoons, and earthquakes in Taiwan, and most of the new immigrants are poor and helpless. The crops that were planted with great difficulty were not harvested when natural disasters hit them.
As a result, Taiwan's local homeless people are getting bigger and bigger. And those who crossed the sea to Taiwan are basically adult men. As soon as you become an idle person, it is easy to embark on the road of robbing your home. It is also Taiwan's male-female ratio, which has reached seven to three, which is extremely deformed.
This man who has not started a family has nothing to worry about. If you do something wrong, you have no scruples. For this reason, Taiwanese folk also call these idle men all day long as Luo Hanjiao. In recent years, Taiwan's people have continued to change their minds, and this has a great deal to do with the increasing number of Luo Han's feet.
It's just that Da Ming is not afraid of lazy people and bad people! After all, the vocational school of the Ming Dynasty specializes in treating all kinds of disobedience and thorns. As soon as you go in, the big stick is knocking, and the brainwashing is listening. Over time, it will naturally be edified. Anyway, it didn't succeed in the transformation, so don't think about it. It is impossible to talk about threatening social order and security, and affecting the order of society.
So for these Luo Han feet, Da Ming does not dislike it at all.
At the same time, the intelligence station also collected some of the latest developments in the Qing Dynasty. For example, the promotion of court officials, and social events with wide influence.
For example, the White Lotus Sect uprising began in May. Starting from Sichuan, Shaanxi and Hubei, it broke out suddenly. At the junction of the three provinces, all the houses are empty and desolate. The Qing court had issued an order to kill them, but with little success. Not only that, but the Qing army was defeated in the hands of the rebels.
However, due to the concealment of the first-class loyal Xianggong and Shen, the elderly Qianlong Emperor is still in the dark.
These things made Jiang Wulin have the corresponding psychological preparation when he landed in the Qing Kingdom in the coming day. After that, Jiang Wulin deliberately stayed in Taiwan for a few days on the pretext of purchasing materials. Some local officials had to be instructed by Yang Shaoqiu. Take the Lanfang mission, stop and stop around, and see the people's livelihood in Taiwan.
This gave Jiang Wulin a better understanding of Taiwan. During this period, he also had private contact with the people of Taiwan, visited indigenous tribes such as Shengfan and Shufan, and inquired about their living conditions. The Fanren tribe was discovered, and the degree of Han was very deep. No matter how they dress or behave, they are no different from the Han people. And the phenomenon of intermarriage between Fan and Han people is also very common. However, because many Han people, relying on the disadvantage of the Fanren's short-sightedness and shallowness, they bought and sold the land and property of the Fanren at a low price, and took them by skill. makes the prejudice of the Fan people against the Han people unusually deep.
At the same time, he also visited the Han villages around Fengshan County to observe their lives up close. I learned that Han villages were mostly grouped together in clans. Two villages with different surnames often have disputes because of different interests. Some have even evolved into two surnames and fights.
And the entire Taiwanese folk, whether it is a Fan or a Han Chinese, the folk customs are relatively strong. He recorded these observations one by one. and so on to pass it on to the Intelligence Department, so that the decision-makers of the Ming Dynasty. When reunifying and administering Taiwan in the future, we will be able to formulate policies for administering Taiwan in light of local conditions.
In this way, after a delay of five or six days, Jiang Wulin took the Lanfang delegation and went all the way north. In the middle, he made a short stop in Ningbo for two or three days to replenish supplies and participate in a banquet organized by the local government. Then it took nearly a month to arrive at Bohai Bay and dock at Dagu Port in Tianjin Prefecture.
After a false salute with the Qing officials, he took a carriage and rushed to the political center of the Qing State, Shuntianfu. As the ancient capital of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, the status of Shuntianfu is incomparable. Jiang Wulin, who visited the Qing Kingdom for the first time, was also very curious about how noble and prosperous the Shuntian Mansion, which was closest to the Son of Heaven. (To be continued.) )
