During the period from the beginning of the Ming Dynasty to the present, China seems to have been in constant war, and the country was in turmoil and the people were not able to make a living. Under this chaotic situation, Fujian and Guangdong were in a panic at that time, and there were many poor people and few people.

In order to change the status quo and escape the war, many people are extremely difficult to maintain their lives, in order to make a living to maintain their family life, change the fate of their individuals or families, and escape the war, these ordinary people have gone to Nanyang in batches to make a living.

For these ordinary people who went to Nanyang, the reason why they chose to leave their homeland was more forced by the current situation. I hope to make money by finding a new way out of Nanyang, but more people who go to Nanyang are people who can't stay in their homeland.

In fact, in the last years of the Chinese feudal dynasties, most of them were accompanied by peasant uprisings, foreign invasions and dynastic changes, and the people who could not bear the war and the nobles of the previous dynasties who had lost their power emigrated overseas.

Due to their geographical proximity, these island countries in Southeast Asia have become the migration places and refuge places for the Chinese people. For these migrants, they went to the South Seas more to survive.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the South Seas under the colonial rule of Britain and the Netherlands were in the process of accelerated development, and the demand for labor was very large. Relying solely on the indigenous people, these colonists found it difficult to manage.

In order to attract industrious and simple Chinese laborers to work in the colonies, these colonial governments successively introduced a series of preferential policies, such as giving immigrants enough free land to plant, and the government providing temporary housing to settle immigrants.

Some even provide rice and salt for free for a year, provide transportation, set up police stations to protect the safety of the Chinese, and allow the Chinese to live permanently in the city where they work, and so on.

Such policies are highly attractive to the internally displaced, landless, and unemployed. It is at this time that many people come to the South Seas with their wives and children, or alone.

Nowadays, with the Japanese bowl launching a full-scale war of aggression against China, many people living in the coastal areas, as long as they have the ability or connections, will try their best to go to the South Seas to survive. After all, the common people are undoubtedly the most afraid and fearful of war.

In contrast, although the living conditions of the Chinese in Nanyang are still not as optimistic. However, for many people who are worried about being affected by the war, they feel that they at least do not have to worry about the war when they come to Nanyang, and they can always live there if they are willing to work.

In fact, Zhao Tiehu, who has been in the Republic of China for so long, knows very well that for many ordinary Chinese people at this moment, as long as they can live, these simple people will swallow their anger and grit their teeth.

Even if there are too many excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes, even if they are oppressed and bullied by the rulers. As long as they survive, they will endure it. And the people who can't bear it and are powerless to resist can only choose this kind of uncertain future to go to the South Seas to survive.

Zhao Tiehu and his entourage, who stayed in Hong Kong for a short time, have arrived at Manila, the destination of this voyage. In addition to the dozens of people who disembarked in Hong Kong, the remaining more than 200 people were the first batch of people brought to this place by Zhao Tiehu.

When the freighter slowly entered the harbor and berthed, Captain Mingjack also smiled and said: "Chen, this is Manila, we can finally have a good rest!" What's next for you? ”

As you said, the first thing I have to do is get some rest. Of course, I also want to invite you and a few first mates to have a good drink. In the future, I will be in Manila with my compatriots, and I am afraid that I will have to deal with you again. ’

'Drink, I like it!' Let's go, our boat has finally landed! If it's okay, I'll be here for a while. Of course, if there is a profitable business, I hope you will continue to ask me for help! ’

Of course, we are already friends, and if we have a profitable business, how can we forget our friends? ’

The Americans, who knew about these ships, seemed to be very friendly to themselves. But Zhao Tiehu understands better that these guys are actually interested in the banknotes in their pockets. If they didn't have the money, they wouldn't have shown such an attitude at all.

But this time they were able to arrive safely in Manila, and Zhao Tiehu and his entourage were indeed thanks to the help of these foreigners. In the future, Zhao Tiehu will also rely on the network he has built up to transfer personnel with the help of ships between Manila and the mainland.

It's just that the most important thing at the moment is to settle these people who have brought me. Fortunately, not long after getting off the ship, Zhao Tiehu met David's uncle, a first mate who had stayed in Manila earlier. And this first mate stayed here, naturally, there is a reason.

'O God! Chen, you're finally here! I thought I had to keep waiting! ’

Looking at this big-nosed foreigner, Zhao Tiehu smiled and said, "Lawrence, such a vacation should be rare for you, right?" Captain Martin can give you this task, and I trust your ability to do things! ”

'Of course! I'm Lawrence, a jack of all trades! However, according to your request, I have found you a manor house on the outskirts of Manila, and it should not be difficult to settle you people. Otherwise, let's check it out first! ’

'Okay, thank you, Mr. Lawrence. This time, I can bring a lot of good Chinese wine, if the place is satisfied, I don't mind giving you two bottles! You know, Mingjack has been hungry for a long time on the way here! ’

'Oh! Damn, that Mingjack guy is an alcoholic! You can rest assured, I will definitely complete the task assigned by the captain. Speaking of which, after buying that manor, I also spent a lot of wine money to invite the officers here to dinner! ’

'What? Was the manor originally inhabited? ’

When I first arrived in Manila with more than 200 people, I naturally needed a place to live. Although Zhao Tiehu felt that he should not be building in Manila, there must be a safe habitat in Manila.

Although Manila is currently managed by the United States, Zhao Tiehu also knows that it is not peaceful. Without a safe place to stay, there's no guarantee that something will happen to so many people when they first arrive.

And buying a manor is more to show your strength. After all, the people who can buy estates in Manila believe that the aborigines and some petty officials do not dare to provoke at will.

'Oh! Not really! It's just that the manor house was captured by our army from a Spanish merchant. Later, the estate was auctioned off to other merchants, who unfortunately did not seem to be able to live there. ’

'Why?' ’

Because the manor is really not small, and there are many idle people living next to the manor. As long as someone lives in the manor, those scoundrels will attack the idea of the owner of the manor, and even cause some sabotage.

You know, this kind of person is the most annoying, and ordinary businessmen don't have a good way to deal with them. In addition, it was far away from the city's police station, and by the time the police arrived, those people had already run out. The police are gone, and they are back.

Originally, when I first inquired about this manor, I didn't think it was suitable for you to live in. But Captain Martin said that you are a very capable Chinese, and I believe that this trouble should not be a problem for you.

So, I hired a major from the garrison to take people to stay in the manor for a few days, so as to inform the scoundrels and ruffians about our American territory. After killing a few troublemakers, they finally did not dare to approach the manor. ’

'Thank you! If it's this kind of trouble, then I'll still be able to handle it! After all, my subordinates still have a way to clean up this kind of ruffian! If I have the chance, I will personally invite the major to my manor for a drink! ’

'I'm sure Major Harris will be satisfied!' In fact, I had a good relationship with our captain, and sometimes I felt that he was less like a major and more like a businessman. However, if you come to garrison such a far place, it will not be easy to live without money! ’

The two chatted as they walked towards the manor on the outskirts, and the wolf warriors and veterans who followed Zhao Tiehu looked like they were all short clothes. But most of these people have pistols in their arms.

Protecting the convoy escorting supplies, he walked towards the manor. Such a team went to the manor, and it also attracted the attention of many people along the way. It's just that in Zhao Tiehu's opinion, dragging a cow cart and walking is indeed too slow and inconvenient.

In order to facilitate the next step in and out of the city, Zhao Tiehu felt that he should buy a few cars as a means of transportation. Fortunately, Zhao Tiehu felt that there was no need to be too anxious, he could settle down the people he brought first, and slowly improve his plan.

If he wants to settle down in this island country, Zhao Tiehu naturally needs a piece of territory that the US military can't set foot in. At least Zhao Tiehu knows that many of the islands in this island country are undeveloped.

In the future, if Wolf Warrior wants to ensure low-key and concealed development, it naturally needs a large and safe island as a permanent base. And in that base area, Zhao Tiehu will be based on the family of the wolf warrior and some Chinese.

Only in this way, when the flames of war burn to this land, Zhao Tiehu can deal with the little devil. After all, even if the little devils occupy Manila, they will not be able to control all of such a large piece of island land.

There are less than two years to go, and in order to accomplish all this, in addition to a huge amount of money and manpower, it will naturally need the support of the real rulers of this place. For this reason, Zhao Tiehu naturally has to spend more time on building a good relationship with the ruler in the future.

Fortunately, with the help of these Americans, and he, a fake overseas Chinese, I believe that it will be relatively easy to deal with the Americans. As for those natives, Zhao Tiehu hoped that they would not come to provoke him.

The reason is very simple, for Zhao Tiehu, he had heard a lot about these natives bullying the Chinese in his previous life. Now that the wolf warrior chooses to establish a permanent base in Nanyang, it naturally wants to shelter the Chinese in Nanyang.

In China, Zhao Tiehu still needs to worry about how much he acts. When he arrived at this place, Zhao Tiehu was completely unrestrained. As long as it is an enemy or hinders the development of the wolf warrior, Zhao Tiehu will completely eradicate it.

At least Zhao Tiehu believes that the Americans who control the area should also hate the indigenous people who are lazy and always cause trouble. That being the case, why does Zhao Tiehu need to be polite to those indigenous people with bad intentions?
