Chapter 1259: Number Plate
The effect of overseas Lian Liwei was very good, and then the order around the registration office also calmed down. Now that the Far Eastern Company has come to Daming, it will of course face a great test on how to carry out local work.
Most of the immigrants from Liaodong and overseas controlled areas are desperate displaced people, and they are relatively easy to manage. And these areas are like a blank slate, and there are no entrenched local forces at all.
But the Ming Dynasty is different, the situation in various regions is extremely complicated, not only there are intricate local forces, even the people at the bottom also have their own small abacus, once it comes to their own interests, it is easy to be instigated and used by people with intentions.
However, local work is the top priority of Far Eastern Company after entering the Central Plains, so how to open up a breakthrough in local work in various regions is also the primary task of Far Eastern Company.
Linqing Prefecture is the intersection of the two canals of the Yuan Dynasty Huitong River and the Ming Dynasty Canal, and only Linqing is the canal passing through the city on both sides of the Grand Canal.
On the canal that stretches for more than 3,000 miles, Linqing is in the key position, and is famous for "the throat of Caoyun, the military powerhouse, and the commercial metropolis", and has been prosperous for 500 years, and has the reputation of "prosperous and pressing two capitals".
The **** forces, gentry groups, bureaucratic groups and other forces at all levels are intricately intertwined, they collude with each other, and have formed interest groups, if you want to break the current balance of Linqingzhou, it will inevitably affect the stability of the local area, and it is definitely the next policy for the Far East company that has not yet established itself.
Therefore, the Linqing Prefecture Garrison District decided to implement militarized management of Linqing, and carried out severe blows on the local underworld and evil forces, deterring local forces at all levels, and then waited and watched the changes, and did not take the initiative to touch the interests of all parties, so that Linqing Prefecture was temporarily in a state of balance and maintained local stability.
Although Cao Yun has a pivotal role in the Ming Dynasty, even the rise and fall of Cao Yun will shake the national capital of the Ming Dynasty. However, the Far Eastern Company occupies the Central Plains and already has extremely developed shipping capacity, so how can it rely on the canal.
Moreover, the company's railway department is bound to build a large number of railways in the Central Plains, and the future railway transportation and sea transportation will inevitably become the company's main logistics force, so Linqingzhou is developed because of the canal transportation, but with the arrival of the Far East Company, it will inevitably decline due to the development of the times.
However, after more than 200 years of development, Linqingzhou has become the final commercial center in the north of the Ming River, where the population has reached hundreds of thousands, and a large number of low-level people, small merchants and hawkers are pointing to Linqingzhou to eat.
As the importance of Linqing Prefecture continues to weaken, the survival problem of hundreds of thousands of low-level people and small traders and hawkers in Linqing will inevitably become extremely serious in the future.
The Far East occupied Linqingzhou and controlled the canal, and the thousands of porters and their families on the docks of Linqingzhou were greatly affected in an instant.
When the Ming Dynasty encountered these things, of course the local officials and officials would not care about the life or death of these low-level people, but the Far East Company could not ignore it.
However, the work must be carried out step by step, so before the arrival of the working group of the Ethnic Affairs Committee, the Linqing garrison area is ready to carry out its work with the displaced people from all over the two shantytowns outside Linqing Prefecture as a breakthrough point.
Wang Xiao saw that there were 2,000 homeless people in the queue, and knew that there were still many people in the two shantytowns who were still watching, so he had an idea and shouted to the company commander next to him: "Convey it, prepare a thousand number plates, and distribute them to the thousand people in front of the team, only recruit 1,000 people today, don't have one more, I want to sign up and come back tomorrow." ”
In a few moments, a thousand number plates were made, and then several fighters of the Far Eastern Army were issued to the first thousand people of the team in the order of the queue.
"Recruit 1,000 people today, go back to the rest, I want to sign up and come early tomorrow......"
Hearing this news, the displaced people behind them suddenly became anxious, and they made a loud noise, and the originally peaceful situation became chaotic again.
"Bang...... Bang ......"
The company commander of the overseas company took out his revolver, fired two shots into the sky, and then shouted to the soldiers who were maintaining order next to him: "Paralyzed, drive the rest of the people away, fight to the death if you don't leave, and shoot those who dare to resist on the spot......
A group of ruffians from overseas companies, of course, would not get used to their mistakes, so they rushed over to the people who did not have license plates, picked up the butts of their guns and beat them, and at that time, more than a dozen homeless people who called for the most joy were beaten to the ground and fell to the ground, and the rest of the homeless people immediately dispersed in a hurry.
Just now they can be regarded as seeing the ferocity of the Far Eastern Army, a few guys who are rampant and domineering in the shantytowns on weekdays, bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, were caught and beaten half to death by this gang of thieves, and now they are still tied to the wooden stakes next to them, and it is not certain whether they can survive.
So don't look at the number of displaced people gathered here is more than 2,000 people, but they really don't dare to touch that mold. I can only leave here with regret on my face.
And the homeless people who were assigned the number plate were full of joy, not to mention how happy they were. If you can come a day early, you can eat a full meal for an extra day, and this deal is worth it.
Wang Xiao was born in a field division, although he had an opinion on the gang of ruffians in the overseas battalion, he didn't look down on some of their styles. Even so, he knew in his heart that if there were no such ruffians, he would really not be able to deal with these Liba who had been fighting on the dock all year round.
After the registration of 1,000 displaced people was completed, Wang Xiao directly took them to the city to purify and distribute supplies, and then transferred the backbone of non-commissioned officers from overseas battalions to prepare for the next intensive training for these displaced people.
After those displaced people who did not receive the number plate returned to the shantytown, today's news suddenly spread. The displaced people in the two shantytowns were stunned by the news, and even many people who wanted to continue to wait and see could not sit still, and they all wanted to go to the queue early tomorrow.
But there are smart people everywhere, and many homeless people ran to the registration office in the middle of the night to line up, and these guys simply put up bunks there and took up their positions.
The displaced people in the two shantytowns were already full of contradictions, so in order to compete for the position, the two sides also gathered people to fight here, injuring dozens of people in one night.
A few days later, thousands of displaced people in the two shantytowns registered as they wished, and the Linqing garrison mobilized all the officers and men of the overseas battalion to serve as training instructors for these displaced people.
Several vacant granaries in the brick city of Linqing were full of people, and the vacant land in the city became their training grounds. Every day, the shouting and scolding of the soldiers of the overseas battalion can be heard everywhere here.
Although the initial training camp lasted only ten days, thousands of homeless people were still tortured by them to death, and all of them lost a layer of skin. However, none of the displaced people who participated in the training camp quit, because three full meals a day have a great attraction to them, so the training career of these refugees can be said to be painful and happy.
