Outside of the busy farming season, Yamashita Village always forms a small market in the evening at the corner of the small street in the village. Most www.biquge.info of the small traders in the pen %fun %pavilion are from the village and nearby villages, and when the sun is getting down, the women come out of their homes to buy their needs at the small market. It was bustling for a while, although it was not prosperous, but it also added a vitality to the peaceful village.

Fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls know that they love beauty, and Emi is no exception, she always picks a few flowers every day, of various colors, and inserts them on her sideburns. Small thin lips, the corners of the mouth slightly upturned, as if forever smiling. Emi is like the landscape of her hometown, clear and watery. Every day she goes to the market to sell handmade knick-knacks, which are not valuable, but for the girl, it is her way of helping her family.

"Emi, how much money can you make a month selling these things?"

Tilting his head to think about it, he said a little proudly.

"You can make three or four hundred!"

Oshima had a surprised expression.

"Oops! Ah! Why are you so pointed? In China, a girl your age can earn more than 1,000 yuan a month! ”

Emi blinked her eyes wide in surprise, huh?

"China? What do they do to make so much money? ”

Oshima waved his big hand and made a sideways push.

"Weaving, the work is easy and simple, it doesn't take three or two days to get started, and you can earn money immediately."

"yes, they're nice there."

Emi said half-truthfully. Of course, she longs for the outside world, but she still has a due vigilance in her heart. But she knew that Oshima was a man of the world, and that many of the girls in the village had been taken away by him - their families had been given 20 yuan, and they had all gone to China.

"Huimi, you see that we have a lot of trees here as far as the eye can see, and people are stubbornly guarding a few thin fields scattered at the foot of the mountain, and they usually don't even have pocket money, and they can't even pay the rent."

Oshima waved his hand again, pointing out his hand into the distance.

"If you go to China, there is a great plain, you can't see the edge at a glance, the fields are usually green, the harvest is yellow and clear, the sky is blue, the wilderness is vast......"

While telling Emi about China, Oshima looked back at Emi and said.

"Emi, would you like to go to China?"

To China?

Emi opened her eyes wide, and looked at the big island beside her in puzzlement,

"How?"

"Marry me! In that case, you won't have to suffer here again......"

Marrying to China?

Although she never thought of marrying in China, Emi was absent-minded about what Oshima said later, but she had already made up her mind.

Emi had never made a boat, and when she got on the big ship from a small boat, she looked around with surprised eyes when she was on the ship, and there were many women around her, and those women were talking all kinds of ways, where did they come from? In this curiosity, Emi followed Sakurako, who was two years older than her.

"Why didn't Oshima get on board?"

Seeing what Oshima was talking to the Chinese on the small boat, Emi asked with some puzzlement.

In fact, Oshima, who is a "human trafficker", only sends them here, this ship has been sailing off the coast of Japan for the past half a month, and traffickers from all over the world will send women to this ship, and most of them, like Emmi, take the initiative to "sell themselves" with a "dowry" of more than 20 yuan, dreaming of marrying in China and starting a new life.

"Emi, Oshima won't come again, it's up to us in the future!"

Sakurako said in a calm tone that her family was poor, and her father even wanted to sell her to a brothel in the city, but now she was about to marry far away to China, and her father got a "dowry" of twenty yuan, but in reality? That's when Oshima buys her with money, and she's like a commodity, and she's going to be sold to China.

What to sell to China?

Is it to be a prostitute?

Sakurako, who was on the side of the ship, looked towards the coast, and this was probably the last time she would see Japan.

Over the next few days, the steamer continued to sail along the coast, picking up women one by one, and the boat became more and more crowded, and Emi and Sakurako, like the other girls, learned Chinese on the boat, and then the ship took them to the wing, where they continued to learn Chinese.

"You have to learn Chinese well, or you will be sold to a brothel!"

Everyone says that, and why they say it—because the client doesn't care if the prostitute speaks Chinese, but as a Chinese daughter-in-law, you have to learn to speak Chinese. Because their husbands need their service.

"You've worked hard, hurry up and rest......"

Like everyone else, Emi worked hard to learn Chinese, even on the ship, when she was bored, she also learned to speak Chinese, every sentence was very simple, in fact, what she needed to learn could be said to be "200 simple Chinese", as for the rest of the Chinese, she could learn slowly.

After leaving the pavilion, the sailboat sailed for almost twenty-three days before the ship approached a port, although it was already October weather, and it may have begun to show coolness in the hometown, but it was still very hot here, and there seemed to be some disappointment in the eyes of more than two hundred Japanese girls in various shabby clothes, looking curiously at the pier and the small town behind the pier, looking at the dozen stone buildings and bamboo houses in the small town.

"Is this China?"

As she disembarked, Emi asked curiously. She didn't even notice that she was speaking stiff Chinese.

"This is not China!"

A voice came from the dockside, and it was a soldier who spoke, and the soldier looked at the girl with a fiery look in his eyes.

"This is North Borneo, which is a Chinese colony!"

Chinese colonies?

North Borneo?

"What's your name?"

Faced with this soldier's question, Emi hurriedly replied.

"My name is Emi."

What was a colony, and where North Borneo was, Emi didn't know, and she didn't know why the soldier asked her name. Only, like the other women, she disembarked from the ship and came to a warehouse-like room, with straw mats in the room, which was their temporary dwelling, and in the warehouse there was a shower.

"For these two days, you have all been in good spirits, and in two days the person who will marry you will arrive! When the time comes, marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog, and what kind of family you marry, it all depends on your luck, dress up beautifully, and leave a good impression on your husband......"

Two days later, in the courtyard of the big warehouse on the wharf, hundreds of people crowded, all holding a sign in their hands, all anxiously waiting, these penniless bachelors a few months ago, now all nervously and expectantly waiting, waiting to get their daughter-in-law back.

"Sixty dollars for a Japanese daughter-in-law!"

Looking at the hot-eyed bachelors in the courtyard, Li Guolan couldn't help but sigh.

"I've never heard of a person who gives money, and there is a reason to make a wife......

"Master Li, of course this wife didn't send it, they bought it!"

Of course, these people pay their own money, although the money is paid in advance by the company, but in the future they need to repay it with interest.

"These people are the best performers in the transformation, they do more than twice as much work every day as others, this is also an attempt, to give those people a hope, today to make up 200 pairs, which is equivalent to 200 homes here, where there are only men there will be homes? Once they have a home, they will put down roots here, and besides......"

Wang Linshan looked at the audience and said:

"Soldiers of the Self-Defense Forces can be selected first! With this precedent, are you still worried about those people who are unwilling to go to the Self-Defense Forces? ”

The Self-Defense Forces are armed forces formed in response to the shortage of garrison troops, and they are recruited from immigrants, but not everyone can join, in addition to the requirement of physical fitness, there are other requirements, because the Self-Defense Forces are responsible for clearing the mountains and forests of "headhunters", so there is always a certain risk in joining the Self-Defense Forces, and they need to expel the mountains and forests that threaten the reclamation. This time, the members of the Self-Defense Forces who have made military achievements are selected first, which is a kind of reward in disguise.

"Actually, why can't you send those savage wives to them? I don't have the money to buy ...... yet."

As soon as Wang Linshan's words fell, Li Xu, who had been guiding the work in North Borneo for the past few months, spoke.

"Camp Commander Wang, you remember, as a colonist, you must put yourself in a high position, only in this way, those natives will be in awe of you, if the colonizers combine with the savages on a large scale, then it will inevitably affect the awe of the natives towards them, especially those savages in the mountains and forests, you remember, we are civilized people......"

Pointing to the people downstairs, their status in the country is extremely low.

"No matter what they look like in the country, here, they are all Chinese, they are all superior to the natives, the natives must maintain enough reverence for them, if there is no such awe, but choose to integrate with the natives, then the colonial rule is likely to fail, for the Dutch East India and the Europeans colonized by the Straits Strait, even the local indigenous nobles are impossible to marry with them, let alone the mountain and forest savages? We are Chinese nobles, how can we combine with these foreign barbarians......"

When Li Xuyan talked about this set of "colonial rule" learned from Europeans, Li Guolan's brows furrowed slightly.

"These women are Japanese!"

"No, no,"

Shaking his head, Li Xu said.

"Japan, North Korea, Vietnam, are all Little China, as for the others, well, they are all barbarians, and the headhunters in this mountain forest...... He is a savage who is not even a human! ”

Li Xu's words were full of sophistry, but Li Guolan shrugged his shoulders impatiently, in fact, this matter was promoted by Li Xu, for how to carry out colonial rule, China is undoubtedly a "new student", and now it is more learning, and learning step by step how Westerners established colonial rule in Nanyang.

What do you say about Ah Q? I've always felt that it was a typical portrayal, and it was basically a three-point portrayal. I don't think there's a more poignant description of him. The exile of the poor and beggars abroad is to draw on the experience of early European and American colonization, as for our colonial ...... China has never colonized overseas, and as for the so-called Chinese companies such as Dagang and Lanfang, they have never been colonial institutions, they enslave their compatriots on the one hand, attack each other on the other, and collude with outsiders at the same time, are companies like this worth supporting?

Moreover, North Borneo is not an official government, it is a company, and the "private industry" of the protagonist has nothing to do with the government, and its equivalent part of the land belongs to the high-level officials within the Governorate, and the officials must be allowed to benefit from the colonization, so that they will support overseas colonization, and who will support overseas colonization without the drive of interests? Like the European conquest of the New World. There were even early days when Japan tried to sell Taiwan after it seized Taiwan, but in the final analysis, it was still a profit. Interests are the core that drives the colonial cause, and there is no profit to drive them. Overseas colonization will always be just a castle in the air.

As for colonialism...... Britain, France and other European countries are undoubtedly the best teachers, historically, Qianlong with hundreds of thousands of troops could not conquer and Burma, but the British conquered and established a stable rule, the Ming generation could not establish effective rule in Vietnam, but the French conquered Vietnam with thousands of soldiers and established a stable rule. In terms of colonial rule, it is necessary to learn from the West. (To be continued.) )
