The Philippines, on June 1, 19, has been officially renamed Luzon.

In 1895, the total population of the Philippines was as high as 7 million, and the Chinese accounted for a large proportion of it, and if you count the mestizos of Chinese ancestry, this number has reached 15% of the total population of Luzon.

Millions of Chinese and mixed-race people with Chinese blood in their blood, 60% of whom live in the greater Manila area. The situation in Luzon was like the whole of Nanyang, because the presence of the Chinese made it much easier for the Wehrmacht to rule and establish it. The Wehrmacht expelled the local whites, and large tracts of plantations and land were transferred to the local Chinese at an absolutely low price. The dynasty also used this return to obtain large sums of money to subsidize military and government spending. In doing so, it has also gained more support from the local Chinese.

However, the indigenous people, who occupy an absolute numerical advantage, are still a big trouble. Is it nature? Or is it the result of centuries of evolution? The natives of Luzon and the natives of the entire South Seas can kneel and lick the white pig's skin without shame, but they have always held a kind of hostility and resistance to China.

Think about the anti-Chinese expulsion set off by the indigenous people of Southeast Asian countries in later generations? If it weren't really difficult to exterminate all the natives, the time and consequences would be very serious, and Liu Xian would have ordered them to be raided a long time ago.

The war in North America was still raging, and European volunteers were on the front lines. At this time, in Southeast Asia, a large wave of Chinese immigrants was migrating one after another.

Mainly the people in the south, Fujian and Guangdong have the largest population. These people themselves have a lot of fellow villagers and relatives in Nanyang, and they have psychological comfort, and they belong to the migration initiative. Then there is the attraction of land, and the Chinese have no resistance to land. A large number of people chose to leave their hometowns and drift away in the South Seas for the sake of a hundred acres of heaven and earth.

In the 7th lunar month of the 19th year of Xinqin, it rained heavily.

The migrant ship has been gone for several days. The 815 new arrivals are already busy on the island. This small island is part of the Visayas in the Sea of Sibuyan. It is located on the east side of Mindoro Island, which is 39 li long from north to south and 16 li wide from east to west. It is a volcanic island with low terrain and fertile soil. Hemp and rice can be grown to produce dried coconut.

There are indigenous people here. The Spaniards also established a small town in the port, and now that the natives and foreigners had been expelled by the Wehrmacht, the settlers naturally moved in. The port is located on the northwest coast of the island, on the route between the San Bernardino Strait and Verde Island, and this small island is located in the middle of the central islands of Luzon.

The migrant ship has visited here twice, bringing in 2,000 Hakka people from Fujian.

Now the port, now renamed Lake Town, is home to thousands of immigrants and has been reopened in small dockyards and repair shops abandoned by the Spaniards. And it's expanding. The façade of the port has been greatly changed, and the Hakka people, who are not accustomed to European-style architecture and style, are actively exerting their craftsmanship and trying to correct it in the direction they are accustomed to without destroying the overall solidity of the house.

And it's the rainy season in Luzon, and most of the residents who have migrated to Lumbron have stopped doing the outdoors. When they immigrated, they brought state subsidies and their own belongings, and they could support themselves without doing anything for a year or two. But that doesn't mean everyone has nothing to do.

In addition to the expansion of the port and the construction of a lighthouse, a timber processing plant on the edge of a coconut grove. The brick kiln factory outside the town of Lake lacks limestone. Cement and lime had to be brought in from outside, and the expansion of the terminal warehouse could not be stopped. As for the repair shop where the dockyard is located, it is full of busy immigrants.

These immigrants from Fujian, after cultivating for a while, have now begun to be organized to do some work within their ability. They worked on various 'construction sites' during the day, and at night they had to attend night school where they were taught some Chinese characters in pinyin. In all the colonies, the Chinese dialect will be Mandarin marked with Hanyu Pinyin, so what Hokkien, Hakka, Cantonese or something, you can wash and rest. The content is mainly courses such as general hygiene, precautions for tropical life, and government regulations.

Such a group study may accompany them for a maximum of several months or even a year, until the settlement is fully able to meet the government's requirements. And it can run on its own, and this small island, which is only a town on a political level, can put an end to such a life. The teachers who are responsible for teaching and instructing them are the government officials of the town government and the port gates, as well as the teachers of the town schools.

This great migration is not only a great migration and expansion of the Chinese people, but also a great standardization and rectification.

Chang Bao walked unhurriedly in the factory. It was almost noon, but it had been raining outside for a day and a night, and there was no sign of stopping. Fortunately, the brick factory was built on higher ground, and the surrounding drainage facilities were also readily available, so the factory was not afraid of being soaked by rainwater.

The factory building is a mixed brick and wood structure, and some of the load-bearing walls or columns are made of brick and stone, some of which are directly removed from the town. The rest of the brick kiln factory was much simpler, hastily made of low-quality wood planks and thatch. The roofs are covered with tarpaulins and thatch for workers to rest and place bricks. There are many small windows on the surrounding walls, which are also used for ventilation. The heavy rain outside did not hinder the work of the brick kiln.

The bean-sized raindrops crackled against the glass window, and the sound was so loud that it felt like it was about to break the glass. Lime is sprinkled in many parts of the factory to absorb moisture from the air. The rainy season is so annoying, the air humidity is extremely high, and it is not good for the maintenance of the steam engine.

The entire kiln did not occupy many immigrants, less than a hundred people, and this was connected to the convoy of bricks. The bricks that can be produced not only supply their own island, but also take care of many places around it.

These days, immigrants are constantly pouring into Luzon, bricks are an absolute demand, and the reason why this kiln factory was built on Lumbron Island is because there is a small coal field near the small island on the left, and because Rambulon Island is located in the heart of the central part of Luzon Islands, which is convenient for goods to be transported to all directions.

Chang Bao glanced at it casually, but he didn't care, although he was the director of this kiln factory, he couldn't reprimand the workers at will. Nowadays, any factory with more than 30 employees has a guild, and the Langbulon kiln factory has 93 employees, so it is natural that there is a union.

As a flag man who lives in Guangzhou, which is very close to Hong Kong, Chang Bao understands the power of trade unions very well. At that time, the Hong Kong workers' union was very powerful, although Chang Bao would yell at the workers a few times when he was angry, regardless of whether his Fujian workers understood it or not. But that's all for a reason, and there's absolutely no arbitrariness.

A lot of quicklime sprinkled in various corners is reacted by moisture. The air was so humid that even the walls inside the factory were so wet that they were misty. But the dark clouds in the sky still have no intention of dissipating. Chang Bao didn't think that this was anything more difficult than the days in Guangzhou. The only thing that makes him taste from time to time is why did he run from Guangzhou to Fuzhou in the first place? Why didn't you surrender in Guangzhou cleanly? In that case, he may be assigned to Manila with the Cantonese people.

People yearn for big cities. Compared with Manila, a famous city in the South Seas, Ramblon Island is too small, and the town in the lake is too bad.

Seven or eight miles away from this kiln, near the coconut grove, a village of one or two hundred people is also starting from scratch. It is the production area of coconut, one of the island's specialties, and wood is necessary to build and renovate the entire island. The coconut palm is the largest source of wood on the island.

It's coconut wood. One in very nice wood. The texture is straight, the structure is coarse and uniform, the weight and hardness are medium, the strength is high, and the dry is reduced. The planed surface is smooth and slightly resistant to corrosion. It is an excellent material for parquet flooring, furniture, carving, paneling, ore pillars, jagged and coastal facilities, and art decoration products.

The small village here is one of the five agricultural villages on the island of Rambron, in addition to taking care of the coconut groves, picking coconut kernels, and cultivating is another important task for them, and each family is allocated land, of course, not 100 acres per capita, because they are still given coconut groves. However, with 30 acres of arable land per capita, if the cultivation is profitable and the harvest is abundant, the grain production of one village here alone will be enough for the entire island to eat all year round.

People say, 'Goods are more important than they are thrown away, and people are better than people are dead,' and the same is true today. The common people are the most practical, they can not understand the 'Huayi Great Defense', do not understand the 'loyalty to the monarch and patriotism', but absolutely understand the consequences of not being able to eat. Know who feeds you, wears warm clothes, has a house to live in, and has a field to cultivate.

The authority and rule of the government is very strong and deep among the immigrants. These immigrants to Nanyang will soon be dependent on and supported by the government in every way because of their vested interests and living environment, many natives in the surrounding area, natives with bad attitudes and vicious eyes.

It has made the common people more dependent on the government and trust the imperial court, which can be said to be an additional benefit of immigration, which is an unexpected joy.

Countless media outlets have also followed the tide of migrants, and articles reporting on the situation of migrants have been published in newspapers and magazines. There are good ones in the middle, many of them are good, and the positive news is very tempting for the people of the southeast who have few lands. But there are also bad and evil. For example, people who have migrated to Mindanao, people who have migrated to Jawa, many settlements have seen tropical epidemics. These common diseases in the tropics can be devastating to the sudden arrival of migrants.

However, these tropical diseases can still be contained, after all, these territories are all familiar land, Europeans and Chinese have lived here for so many years, and 'water is not acceptable' is not a common phenomenon. It is said that the people who immigrated to Nanyang are all from the southeast, and the climate in southeast China is also warm and humid. Although it is not as good as Nanyang, it can also give the people a certain degree of resistance...... (To be continued......)
