(' The Migratory Bird Project fleet did not stop in the Bass Strait, and the Marines seized the sails from the galleon Galen and tied it to the back of the Fortune, which towed it.) Important people on the ship, such as Pen% Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Lin Fang, were taken to the Light of the Sea.

For Lin Fang, who has never seen much of the world, the Light of the Sea can be described as a magnificent place. In Lin Fang's eyes, this passenger ship is simply a house floating on the sea. At this time, the internal cabins of sea ships were still very chaotic and in poor conditions. The Light of the Sea has a generator on it, so electric lights and other electrical appliances can be used on board, and the ever-bright cabin makes Lin Fang feel like he is in a dream.

If there is no so-called "seven insects and seven flowers sleeping apart" in the stomach, this is also a good experience.

Bai Nan did not directly send more than 400 immigrants back to Datang, and more than 400 people could not fill the cabin of the Light of the Sea. Under the condition of ensuring the living conditions and the physical and mental health of the immigrants, the light of the sea, a 10,000-ton large passenger ship, has a maximum passenger capacity of 2,000 people, which is still the result of a major transformation of the ship's internal cabins, and the original four-person cabin was squeezed into multiple berths to become an eight-person cabin. In addition, the remaining four cargo ships still have some space to carry passengers, so Bai Nan set a target of 3,000 people for the fleet to bring back migrants this time.

At the same time, Bai Nan believed that transporting immigrants was not a particularly difficult task for the fleet, and the most difficult thing was how to take more than 2,000 people from Guangdong without attracting the attention of the Qing court.

"Planned migration, after all, needs the support and permission of the officials of the place where the immigrants are exported, and the uncertainty of transporting migrants so sporadically is too strong, and the number of immigrants obtained is also unstable." Bai Nan was calculating.

After several days of sailing, the fleet finally arrived at its destination, Hong Kong Island.

Hong Kong, which means the port of exporting spices, mainly produces agarwood. Historically, Dongguan has produced Dongguan fragrant trees, which are secreted from the wood after being moth-eaten or artificially cut, and are deposited for many years, with a special aroma, called Guanxiang, which is a kind of agarwood. Guanxiang can be used as traditional Chinese medicine, and it is the main raw material for making a variety of incense.

Hong Kong's Sha Tin, Lantau Island and other places in the New Territories belonged to Dongguan in ancient times, and Dongguan incense was also produced. At that time, most of the incense was transported to the area of Xiangpo Tau (Tsim Sha Tsui), and then transported by sampan to Shek Pai Wan formed by Aberdeen and Ap Lei Chau in the south of Hong Kong Island. The place where Guanxiang passes through is mostly crowned with the word "incense": the wharf where Guanxiang is concentrated is called Xiangpotou; Shek Pai Wan, where Yunguan incense is exported, is known as Aberdeen and Hong Kong Wai; In the sixties of the nineteenth century, a new wai was built in addition to the old wai, called Hong Kong Village, which is now Wong Chuk Hang Estate. In short, "Hong Kong" originally referred to Seac Pai Wan and Aberdeen, and later expanded to include the whole island of Hong Kong, Kowloon and the New Territories, while Aberdeen retained its original name. As for the production of guanxiang, since the Qing Dynasty Kangxi period after the ban on the relocation of the border, has declined, after the 20th century in Hong Kong only a small amount of wild incense wood, has no economic development value.

When Bai Nan and the others arrived in Hong Kong, there was no hustle and bustle of another international metropolis, but an idyllic and leisurely coastal fishing village, with only a few dozen families, living a poor and simple life. It was outside the jurisdiction of the Qing court, and there was no yamen.

The Datang Marines landed in Aberdeen in a small boat, and there were a few fishermen on the shore. During the Kangxi period, the residents of Hong Kong Island were relocated to the mainland, and after the sea ban was reopened, some people returned to live here. The fishermen on Hong Kong Island are not stupid, and when they see a large number of people with strange behaviors, they are well-trained to land on the island, whether they are officials or bandits, their reaction is very uniform - run.

The weak people have a natural fear of interference from the outside world, whether it is the exploitation of officials or the robbery of bandits, they can't stand it. Hong Kong is outside official control all year round, and there are no taxes to pay, but even then the residents here still don't have enough to eat. Therefore, when they saw the landed Datang Marines, they ran away without hesitation.

Chang Bin was also a little dumbfounded, and asked Bai Nandao: "My Lieutenant Colonel Bai, what do you think of this?" ”

Bai Nan also scratched his head for a while, the Hong Kong Island residents here and the Hawaiian natives are already two different things, the natives don't understand anything, they are mainly curious when they see outsiders, and they will come up to greet and entertain, but the Hong Kong Island residents have already experienced how hard life is, for them, most outsiders are terrible.

"That's fine, let's set up camp here now, we need a forward base no matter what, now as our place of activity, and then Yang Zhen will come to be his pirate den." Bai Nan explained.

Lin Youde was a little worried: "But will those fishermen who escaped report our situation to Guangzhou?" ”

Bai Nan shook his head after thinking about it and said: "I think the possibility is very low, these fishermen in remote areas have a relatively shallow understanding of the government>
