Chapter 685: The Migration of the Americas (Part II)

Li Su and Wang An discussed this issue for several days, and finally decided to define the Americans as 'of the same clan and different races'. The term "same clan and different race" was not actually invented by Li Su and them, but was first put forward by the Sanhan people. These Samhan people are also alien in Daqi, but many of them believe that the ancestors of their Samhan people were the ancestors of the Samhan people who fled to China during the Yin Shang period, and then established the Mizi Joseon on the Samhan Peninsula, and are the ancestors of all Samhan people, so the Samhan people are also Han Chinese in a sense.

As for this statement of the Samhan people, not only the ordinary Han people do not admit it, but even some scholars directly deny this statement. It's just that in order to improve their status in the Great Qi alien race, the Sanhan people usually like to fool other alien races, and define themselves as 'the same clan and different race', which means that they are the same ancestor as the Han people, so as to show that they are different from other alien races.

Li Su, who came from later generations, naturally knew the urine nature of those Sanhan people, as long as it was beneficial to them, they would dare to pull anything on their heads, so they didn't care about the same clan and different race, but this time in the issue of the Americans, this same clan and different race did them a great favor.

First, the government came forward to recognize the Sanhan people as the same clan as the Han people, but their status was still alien. With the precedent of the Samhans, it is natural to classify the Americans as of the same clan, and besides, they are all remnants of the Yin Shang dynasty, so they can be regarded as relatives, and they should be in the same position.

For the return of the Americans, the Sanhan people really took a big advantage, and the official finally recognized that they were the same clan of the Han people. This will be an epoch-making event for the Samhan people. At the same time, it will also greatly improve the position of the Samhan people in the land of Daqi, and it is believed that among all the alien races. No other race could be more noble than them.

After determining the status of the Americans in Daqi, the officials of the Americas immediately organized those tribes who believed that they were descendants of Yin Shang, and moved some of them from the imperial court to return to Daqi and become the real people of Daqi, after all, the development of the Americas by Daqi is still very low, except for a few limited strongholds and ports, other places do not belong to Daqi.

After such a long period of contact, the Americans are full of yearning for the way of life of the Han people, especially as they know. The Han people never had to worry about starvation, and they wore gorgeous silk and lived in a safe city, without worrying about wild beasts breaking into their homes and eating them. Therefore, when they knew that they could also live this kind of life, the tribes that were the first to admit that they were descendants of Yin Shang were all boiling, and they rushed to sign up one by one.

However, if you want to immigrate to Daqi, you need to be able to speak Chinese at least, even if you are not very proficient, but you still need daily communication. And the first batch of immigrants should not be too many. Therefore, the officials stationed in the Americas immediately organized the Americans to learn Chinese, and finally conducted the examination selection, and only those who passed the examination were eligible to immigrate to Daqi. For example, like Thea next to Li Yong, her parents passed the Chinese test, and even this little girl can communicate in Chinese. That's why I'm allowed to immigrate.

"Uncle Li Yong, when did you say that Xiong and Boulder will be able to move from the Americas to Daqi?" While Li Yong was thinking about some messy things about the Americas. Little Thea next to her asked again, her big eyes full of longing.

"It's up to you. If they want to immigrate, they must learn Chinese well, at least like Thea, you can talk freely with your uncle, so when you arrive in Daqi, you can write to them and encourage them to learn Chinese well, and then they can immigrate to Daqi and play with Thea! Li Yong smiled and touched Thea's little head and said.

The skin color of the Americans is darker than that of the Han people, but the facial features are very similar, such as Thea, a little girl, when Li Yong saw each other for the first time on the boat, he found that Thea was very similar to his favorite eldest daughter, so when Li Yong saw Thea, he often gave Thea some gifts, such as some small candies, chocolates, etc., as a result, this immediately got Thea's favor, and they became familiar with each other.

Hearing that Li Yong asked him to write a letter, Thea's little face was wrinkled, and she said with some embarrassment: "But Thea can only say that she can't write, and even her father and mother can't write." ”

Among the Americans, except for the Maya, who created a hieroglyph, the rest of the Americas did not have their own writing,

Li Yong smiled when he heard it: "This is simple, you can make more Han friends at that time, and let them help you write at that time, in addition, you yourself have to study hard and strive to learn to write as soon as possible, after all, if you want to live a better life in Daqi, you can't write!" ”

"Well, Thea got it!" Thea nodded heavily and said, although the little girl who grew up in this tribe is already twelve years old, but there are not many people in contact, and the people in the tribe are relatively simple, so compared with ordinary Han children, it seems much simpler, plus she is also very convinced of Li Yong, so she has secretly made up her mind in her heart that she must study hard, and maybe she will be able to see this Uncle Li Yong again in the future.

"Alright, it's going to be lunch soon, let's go to the restaurant together!" At this time, Li Yong looked up at the sky, stood up at the moment, and at the same time pulled Thea up and said.

"Uncle Li Yong, what are you eating for lunch today, or the canned beef you ate yesterday?" As soon as she heard that she was going to eat, Thea's eyes lit up, and she asked a little impatiently.

Thea's original tribe lived by hunting, and it was a very happy thing to be able to eat a full meal, and there were no requirements for the type of food. But since boarding the ship, although the food on the ship is very ordinary, sometimes canned food and dry food are eaten, but for Thea, the food on the ship is not only supremely delicious, but also can be eaten with a free belly, so every time she eats, Thea seems very excited.

Seeing Thea's saliva almost flowing out of the little gluttonous appearance, Li Yong patted her little head with a smile and said: "I won't eat canned food today, our fleet is about to reach its destination, and there is still some fuel left on the ship, so today at noon, the kitchen steamed rice, and fried a few dishes, but unfortunately most of them are meat dishes, and vegetarian dishes are only bean sprouts!" ”

"It's great to have rice to eat, Thea likes rice the most!" Hearing that she was eating rice at noon today, Thea immediately jumped up happily and pulled Li Yong to run to the restaurant on the boat.

Although the route to the Americas has become more and more mature, and there are several ports for ships to dock along the way, but because of the long distance, the fuel carried on the ship is still not enough, so it is rare for the ship to fire once, Thea has been on the ship for such a long time, that is, when she has just left the Americas, and when she docked at some ports on the way, she has only eaten rice a few times.

There were more than 5,000 Americans in this migration, and the number of ships used reached 100, including not only passenger ships specially used for riding, but also naval warships piloted by Li Yong and other navies, and in order to transport as many people as possible, even Li Yong's warships carried many passengers, and Thea's family was one of them.

Comparatively speaking, the volume of a warship is much larger than that of an ordinary passenger ship, but the warship has to maintain the corresponding combat effectiveness, so it carries much fewer passengers than a passenger ship, and the specifications of the warship restaurant are also more advanced, so the Americans like Thea who take a warship are much better than those who support the passenger ships.

When Li Yong and Thea arrived at the restaurant, they found that most of the Americans on the ship had already gathered here, and these people, like Thea, were very active in eating. Thea's parents also saw Li Yong and their daughter, but they already knew that the officer was very good to their daughter, so they just said hello from a distance, and then went on to exclude the meal.

The warship is actually a small barracks, and there is a strict hierarchy of the army everywhere, which can even be seen from the dining room, such as the window for receiving meals, officers and ordinary soldiers are separated, and there is a window for officers, and it is still a little early, so there is no one in front of the officer's window.

Li Yong took Thea to the officer's window, and then the two of them each received a lunch. Originally, Thea was not an officer on the warship, and she couldn't get food at this window, but Li Yong, as the captain of the ship, had the right to bring other people to receive food, and if she was replaced by other officers, she could only let Thea line up next to her.

Although it is an officer's window, in fact, Li Yongling's lunch is the same as that of an ordinary window, except that as an officer, he has an extra bottle of canned fruit than others today, but Thea does not. Today's staple food is rice, in addition to two meat dishes, back to the pot meat, mutton and potatoes, and a plate of fried bean sprouts that make Li Yong want to vomit at the sight.

Speaking of which, although the current navigation conditions are much better, and the ship can also carry a lot of canned food, but fresh vegetables still cannot be stored for a long time, so the most commonly eaten dish on the ship is bean sprouts, but whether it is soybean sprouts or mung bean sprouts, no one can stand eating this thing for a long time.

Li Yong opened the canned fruit, gave Thea more than half of it, and then gave a part of the rice to Thea, don't look at Thea's young age, but she is growing her body, and the amount of food is larger than that of an adult.

After lunch, because he was about to arrive at the destination of this time, that is, Coconut City on the island of Java, Li Yong was the captain, so he had a lot of things to do, and Thea was also very sensible, so she went to play with some new children on the ship. When the sun was about to set, the fleet finally slowly approached the port of Coconut City, and on the dock of the port, Xu Jingzong and the officials of Coconut City were preparing to welcome this special group of immigrants.
