It has been two months since the first shipment of migrants by the cargo fleet that crossed the group, and the Black Earth Port, which has been constantly transporting migrants, has not been idle, and the management committee has even sent more than 20 Vietnamese from more reliable points to set up a rescue station here to organize the scattered refugees and conduct preliminary screening and identification. In this way, every time the cargo fleet arrives here, there is no need to waste a lot of time to slowly select immigrants, and just load the selected people onto the ship and leave.

After the fleet docked, Wang Tom found that the scene he saw was very different from two months ago, the originally empty wasteland was now built with many simple shacks, and even a few wooden huts that were used as warehouses for the aid station to store grain. In order to be able to organize more migrants, the port of Heitu regularly sends food, salt and other supplies, so that those refugees who do not carry much rations can wait here for the arrival of the next fleet.

Although the presence of the flotilla excited the people on the shore, this time there was no more crowding of refugees, thanks to the propaganda of the Guò aid station, where the refugees who waited for the boat knew what rules they had to follow in order to get a chance to leave. It wasn't that no one tried to break this rule before that, but those who did so ended up tied up and thrown directly into the Qingyuan River. After about a dozen unlucky people had gone down the river, there was no more chaos like the one King Tom had when he first arrived.

Although this method seems simple and crude, it has a very good effect on dealing with the chaotic situation in the refugee camp, and it once again proves the necessity of "using heavy codes in troubled times". Of course, as a pacifist, Gu Kai has not questioned this way of dealing with it, believing that it is not consistent with the "rule of law" society that the crossing group wants to build in the future, but it is not only his immediate boss Qian Tiandun who stands up to support Gao Qiaonan, but also Zhou Hengxing, Xie Chun, Tian Yeyou and others all think that there is nothing wrong with doing this, and there is no shortage of labor in Heitu Port now, so it is better to exclude those who do not obey orders and may become thorns in the head of Heitu Port as soon as possible, not to mention that this can also kill chickens and monkeys by the way, and shock those who are unsettled.

For this reason, Zhou Hengxing even moved out the words of Confucius: "The political leniency **** is slow, and the slow is to rectify the fierce; Wide to help fierce, fierce to help wide, government is to peace. This means that for these Vietnamese immigrants who do not have the concept of the rule of law, they should be corrected with strict measures, so that they know what they can and cannot do. Just like the hanging of the four prisoners at the opening of the Black Soil Port, if it were not for the decisiveness of the hangings of those people to teach the new immigrants a lesson, the limited management personnel who came from the port of victory alone may not be able to manage the thousands of immigrants well.

I have to say that the role of the aid station here is still relatively obvious, in addition to maintaining the basic order of the people, they even organized people to build a trestle bridge on the shore for cargo ships to and from here. After setting up the springboard, the first to land was the militia under the military police department, as soon as these soldiers in colorful short clothes and holding five-foot muskets in their hands appeared, the onlookers immediately and automatically pushed back some distance The troublemakers who had been making trouble were thrown into the river by these soldiers in strange costumes.

After the militia cleared a passage, a group of traversers led by Tao Donglai appeared on the stage. Xie Chun called the person in charge of the aid station, a Vietnamese man in his thirties, to report to Tao Donglai and others. When the Vietnamese heard that this was the head of the chief in front of him, it was from the legendary "Haihan Executive Committee", and he almost knelt down to kowtow, but fortunately, Xie Chun quickly dragged him up.

"Let's take a look around first, talk as we go. "Tao Donglai is also full of leadership temperament now. He was originally the CEO of the company, and he has been a high-ranking official since he crossed over, and after a long time, he gradually has the power of a superior. (Baidu search update is the fastest and most stable)

There was no patrol in Thanh Hoa in the original schedule, but after Tao Donglai heard that there were personnel stationed in Heitu Port, he temporarily changed his mind. Although the people stationed here are all Vietnamese and there are no travelers, it is necessary to make them feel the attention of the Executive Committee if they are naturalized citizens.

So the person in charge of the aid station led the way in front with trepidation, and led a group of people from the base camp to visit this small refugee camp located at the mouth of the Thanh Hoa River.

After the aid station was stationed here, a group of refugees who voluntarily migrated to Heitu Port were organized in the local area and began to build shacks. Because the cargo ships that pass through here are often only once every ten days and a half, simple settlements must be built. And then the refugees who came here also began to build shacks around the area under various propaganda campaigns, waiting for the legendary fleet to rescue them from the sea of suffering.

If you look at it from the air, you can see that the structure of the camp is centered on a simple pier by the river, radiating along the river bank to the surrounding area. The central location is the dock and the aid station, while the outer area is surrounded by shacks. When a fleet arrives, they pick up a group of people and vacate a shack near the center, and then the people from the periphery gradually move in to the center, waiting for the next fleet to arrive. Such an almost primitive method of batch immigration has been maintained relatively smoothly, and there has been no trouble in the meantime, and those who are unwilling to obey this method can leave on their own, and if they want to forcibly cut the queue, they will also be disqualified from immigration.

Of course, as soon as there were more people stationed abroad and there was no supervision, loopholes would inevitably appear, and some of the naturalized people who were initially stationed here were more active, and found that this seemed to be an opportunity for their own benefit, so they demanded money and property from the refugees in exchange for the priority of immigration. However, this incident was later discovered by the crossing of the escort boat, and three bold naturalized people were directly hanged in public on the dock here, which can be regarded as temporarily stopping this trend.

If Heitu Port had sent traversers here, perhaps such a thing would not have happened, but after Tao Donglai saw the living conditions here, he had to admit that there was nothing wrong with such an arrangement in Heitu Port, and compared to the real colonial settlement, the living conditions here were indeed too poor.

These refugees live in the simple shacks that don't even find a decent **, most of them are just made of hay, reeds and other things on the ground, even if the living conditions are slightly better for these naturalized people, it is just one more wooden single person transported from Heitu Port **, and there is no other furniture.

The canteen for cooking at the aid station was also built outside, with only a few stoves made of stones, and under the shacks next to the canteen were several water tanks containing the daily drinking water needed by the aid station. Because this place is close to the sea, and the sea water will pour in from the estuary at high tide, the salt content of the fresh water here is still relatively high, even exceeding the acceptable amount of Cheng dù for the average person.

In this case, the only way to desalinate is distillation. There are several stoves in the canteen that have been used for a long time to make fires and boil water, and after the water vapor is condensed, fresh water can be used. Although this process is a bit more cumbersome, the good news is that the cargo ships that come from the direction of Heitu Port to load migrants will bring in tons of coal each time, which is enough to ensure the local fuel supply. Of course, the distillation method has very limited access to fresh water for all the refugees stranded here, so only the naturalized people at the shelters, a small number of infants and young children, and the sick have access to fresh water, and most refugees still have only salty water.

Although Vietnam is a rice-rich country, the Black Earth Port Management Committee does not intend to use rice to feed these people for nothing, so the aid station here only supplies one meal a day to those who lack food, and most of them have to wait until they go to Black Earth Port or Shengli Port before they can really have a full meal.

What worries Tao Donglai the most is the sanitary conditions here. Although several latrines were built at the beginning of the construction of the camp, as the refugees left in droves, the later refugees did not seem to have the awareness to clean the latrines, and the situation of feces and urine began to flow in the outlying camps. Due to the lack of medical staff in the area, the patients here can basically rely on their own bodies to resist, and once the infirm fall, it is almost impossible to leave the place. The only thing the local shelters can do is to remove those who are sick from the camps so that their diseases don't spread.

The effect of this treatment method can be said to be extremely limited, even if a plague breaks out here tomorrow, Tao Donglai will not feel the slightest strange. With such a bad sanitary condition, it would be a dereliction of duty if the Black Soil Port Management Committee insisted on sending traversers to garrison here.

According to the reports of the naturalized people, there are now about 12,300 Vietnamese refugees here, which sounds like a small number of people, and if eight cargo ships come and load them empty, they can barely be loaded. However, the rate at which cargo ships transport migrants from here is not much faster than the rate at which the population grows, with a hundred and eighty new arrivals arriving every day, and the cargo ships that transport them now come only once every ten days. And not every cargo ship that comes here can carry people away, for example, two of the four ships this time are loaded with militia and munitions, and there are other tasks on the way, so there are only two ships that can actually take immigrants to Heitu Port. The space on the ship was already limited, and even if it was fully stuffed, it would only be able to take three or four hundred people away.

After a brief tour of the refugee camp and the aid station, Tao Donglai ordered some vegetables and fruits to be unloaded from the ship to comfort the naturalized people stationed here. At the same time, he encouraged them verbally, and promised them that after they finished their work here, they would have the opportunity to move their families to Victory Port, the seat of the Executive Committee, and settle down there, and they would have to stay in Thanh Hoa for at least next year.

But for these naturalized people, this is already great news. Because so far, the coal ships that depart from Heitu Port to Shengli Port will take some children or single women, and the Heitu Port Management Committee has also put considerable effort into publicizing this matter, claiming that only those lucky people selected by the Management Committee will have the opportunity to go to Haihan's base camp and settle in Shengli Port on the other side of the sea. Naturally, Victory Port is portrayed as a paradise on earth, where everyone has food, clothing, and housing, no wars, no landlords, and no emperors, and everyone who goes there can live a happy life.

In addition to the lucky ones who were selected, ordinary people who were promoted to the level 3 workers could apply to the management committee to move to Victory Port. Of course, the number of places for this relocation is also very limited, with an application period of three months, and the approval rate of each application period will be only one-fifth of the number of applicants. Therefore, when these naturalized people heard Tao Donglai's promise, they were extremely excited, which would greatly increase their chances of moving to Victory Port in the future.

After listening to Xie Chun's explanation, Tao Donglai, who didn't know why, knew that there was still this kind of propaganda in Heitu Port, and he was also a little crying and laughing: "You deify the status of the Executive Committee and Shengli Port like this, it may have a better effect in the short term, but it is not a good thing in the long run!"

"Let's go out first, step by step. Xie Chun was a little disapproving: "With the existing conditions of Heitu Port, it is difficult to depict a bright future and a goal for these people, so they can only use the base camp to talk about things." Let them have a goal in their hearts, so that they can settle down and do things!"

Heitu Port has not been open for a long time, and the labor level is generally low, so there are no people who meet the application conditions for the time being. From this point of view, it is possible that these people who were selected to set up a refugee shelter in Thanh Hoa will be the first batch of naturalized people to be relocated to Shengli Port because of their excellent work.

After completing the inspection, Tao Donglai ordered to start boarding the selected immigrants. This time, the two ships used to transport the migrants did not carry any other cargo other than the necessary supplies, so the number of migrants that could be taken with them was relatively large. Under the watchful eye of the heavily armed militia, the ranks of migrants formed two long columns and slowly moved towards the two boats.

To be on the safe side, these individuals will also undergo a final medical examination before embarkation. This time, the fleet brought several medical personnel from Victory Port, which by the way, also came in handy here. The main purpose of this inspection is to see if there are any obvious infectious disease patients among the immigrants, or those who are not physically fit to sail on a long voyage, and such personnel will be cleared out of the team and disqualified from immigration.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the migrants finally finished boarding the ship. A total of 382 new immigrants will be sent to the port of Heitu by boat, and these lucky ones will be freed from the threat of war and become naturalized citizens under the rule of the Executive Committee. Seven other unfortunate and unfortunate people were found to be suffering from various medical conditions during the examination and were disqualified from immigration.

Half an hour later, the fleet slowly sailed out of the mouth of the Thanh Hoa River, adjusted its direction and continued northward. In the afternoon of the next day, the fleet arrived at the second destination of the trip, the Tu Son Peninsula in the territory of the city of Haiphong.

The two cargo ships carrying the migrants did not stop here, and they continued to sail north towards Cat Ba Island, where they would go straight to the port of Black Soil without stopping. The other two cargo ships carrying militia and munitions docked at the southeastern tip of the Tushan Peninsula with the "Feisu".

The Tushan Peninsula was a place where the first expeditions to explore the route of the Black Earth Harbor had already been, but they had not landed here. This narrow peninsula in the shape of an S shape into the sea in the southeast direction is actually quite strategically located, and Wang Tom once mentioned this place in his report at that time, believing that this place could be occupied when the conditions are ripe in the future to build a strategic support point near the coast of Vietnam.

In fact, this concept is very close to the idea of the Military Police Department wanting to establish a stronghold in the Pearl River Estuary, and the purpose of this strategic support point is not to establish a large military base, but a small military base, which mainly plays the role of supply and surveillance in peacetime. Looking at the coastal area east of Hanoi in northern Vietnam, it is undoubtedly a good location with direct access to the mainland, narrow terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and natural harbors for ships to stay.

The Tu Son Peninsula is located about 100 kilometers from Hanoi and is directly connected by waterways. It is only about 10 kilometers away from the nearest grain producing area, which is also convenient for future grain trade. The narrowest part of the peninsula was no more than 100 meters, and with the firepower of the weapons equipped with the group, it was easy to construct a defensive line that could not be crossed, and the island had a commanding height, and if necessary, it was possible to construct three-dimensional fortifications. The S-shaped island topography has two large natural harbors, which can accommodate several thousand-ton ships, in fact, the Soviets occupied this place for many years in order to dock warships, and it was not until the early 90s of the twentieth century that it was withdrawn from the Tushan Peninsula.

The Military Police Department believes that if a stronghold is built in this place, then the main threat direction will still come from the land, and this threat can be controlled lightly. As for the sea, the Military Police Department does not believe that there will be a threat from the sea in the current Beibu Gulf area, and the coastline near it is already sparsely populated, and there are not even pirates, so there is no threat at all. As for Vietnam's water power at this stage, it is not much stronger than that of fishermen at the seaside. You must know that Vietnam has been fighting the civil war between the north and the south for so many years, and has been fighting along the coastline, but it has never done it at sea, which shows the weakness of its maritime power.
