"The Xikou, that is, the red-haired people in the mouths of the people, they come from the mainland thousands of miles west of the country, they are greedy and ferocious by nature, and they will use force to plunder the local population and property everywhere they go, and take the land as their own, which is really hateful! During the Apocalypse, the red-haired people fought in Fujian, and you must have heard that at that time, Fujian mobilized troops from all over the province and fought hard with the red-haired people for more than half a year before expelling them from Penghu, which was not easy. It's just that this red-haired man has not given in, and has been entrenched on Dayuan Island across the sea, coveting Daming for many years. Fortunately, our Haihan militia is mighty, and the leaders are well commanded, and this time they sent troops to Fujian, and they severely damaged the fleet of the red-haired people in the first battle, which is really the glory of the Haihan!"

Outside the gate of the immigration office at the port terminal of Shengli Port, a middle-aged Confucian scholar is explaining the contents of the "Haihan Monthly" posted on the wall to a group of new immigrants who have just arrived here. Commentators like this can be seen in almost all places with a large flow of people in Sanya, but their establishment is not necessarily subordinate to the propaganda department. In fact, within three days of the publication of the Haihan Monthly, various departments would send civilian personnel to the front line to publicize the main contents of the newspaper to the public, so as to make up for the lack of personnel in the propaganda department.

Of course, due to the different objects and places, as well as the differences in the personal level and political tendencies of the preachers, the effect of preaching will also be uneven. In contrast, some naturalized cadres who have received a Haihan-style education and have served in the system for a long time are much more attentive when doing this kind of propaganda work.

At this time, Yu Bao was in front of a lecture on Shengli Harbor Scenic Avenue, explaining the heavy news on the "Haihan Monthly" while answering questions raised by the public. After he was transferred back to Sanya from the Guangzhou Office, he joined the newly established "Haihan Youth League". As a naturalized civilian cadre with a strong roots, Yu Bao's personnel transfer basically symbolizes that he has stepped into a real rapid upward channel, because the executive committee has clearly stipulated that in the future promotion and appointment of naturalized civilian cadres, priority will be given to members of the "Youth League" -- if he also serves as a cadre in the "Youth League," then the advantage will be even greater.

The first batch of people who can be transferred to the "Haihan Youth League" are a group of people with relatively high political consciousness, and their cultural literacy is also stronger than the ordinary level, so they are mstyle_tt; For tasks like preaching "Haihan Monthly", the cadres of the Youth League will definitely share part of it, and Yu Bao is naturally no exception. However, he personally likes this kind of street speech promotion, which will give him a sense of satisfaction in the process.

"Why did the Dutch dare to invade Fujian? Why did they dare to occupy the territory of our Han people in the South China Sea? This is because the government is weak and powerless to fight, so they can only watch them do evil! Sanya is the richest place in the southeast today, why don't the Dutch dare to come here to make trouble? Because there are Haihan executive committees and militia groups to protect us!" Yu Bao's preaching added a wealth of emotions and body movements, and his voice was full of emotion, which was more expressive than other people's straightforward way of speaking, and naturally attracted more attention from the surrounding people.

The crowd of onlookers near him had gathered as many as two or three hundred people, blocking nearly half of the wide landscape avenue. However, because Yu Bao's errand was an order issued by the Executive Committee himself, no one would come to disperse the crowd, but the Police Department transferred a team of police officers to help maintain order nearby.

A man who looked like a merchant in the crowd asked: "Dare to ask this brother, it is naturally reasonable for the Haihan militia to protect Sanya, then Fujian is thousands of miles away, why did the Haihan specially send the militia to the north to participate in the war?"

"This big brother, what my Haihan wants to protect is not only Sanya, but also the entire Qiongzhou Island, as well as all parts of the world where Haihan people have set foot! Those who offend our Haihan will be punished even if they are far away!" Yu Bao said categorically: "What's more, it is not for nothing that we started a war with this Dutchman. Two months ago, our Haihan sent an envoy to Fujian to negotiate trade, and the Dutch colluded with the pirate gang Shibazhi to assassinate the head of the executive committee in Zhangzhou, Ningqi, with the intention of destroying the good relations between Haihan and the Ming Dynasty.

Someone in the crowd shouted: "Dare to assassinate Mr. Ning, these Dutchmen really deserve to die!" "Well fought, you can't let these ghosts go!" "The militia raises the prestige of my Haihan, and that's exactly what it should be!"

Yu Bao waited for the voices in the crowd to stop and then continued: "Mr. Ning is the master of culture and education of my Haihan, and the Dutch intend to do evil to him, that is, to destroy the foundation of my Haihan. Since the Dutch are unkind, we cannot blame Haihan for taking revenge! Moreover, our army sent troops to Fujian at the invitation of Fujian Governor Xiong Wencan and General Soldier Xu Xinsu to serve as military advisers in the local area to assist the Ming army in defending the maritime frontier, exterminating pirates, and protecting the assets and personal safety of our Haihan merchants in Fujian. ”

"You apprentice has the smell of a spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!"

In a restaurant not far from Yu Bao's preaching office, Tao Donglai is meaningful. Opposite him sat Ning Qi, the two of them invited each other out for a meal today, and casually visited the people of Shengli Harbor privately, and they happened to encounter this scene.

Ning Qi said with a smile: "If you think it is appropriate, then after a year or two the shelves of the Youth League are set up, you will transfer Bao to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and let him learn skills from Gu Kai." ”

"Yes, it just so happens that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs does lack relevant talents, and it is also good for his future development that Bao goes to exercise. Tao Donglai did not treat Yu Bao as an outsider during his conversation. Since the crossing group landed in Victory Harbor, Yu Bao has become a member of this group, and after a few years of getting along, everyone has consciously or unintentionally ignored his original identity, but regarded him as a member of this group. In addition to the relationship between superiors and subordinates, the attitude of these senior officials of the Executive Committee towards him also has more care and expectations from the elders to the younger generations.

"I can go to the front first, and I can go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to exercise, but if I let Bao learn the skills of Gu Kai's mother-in-law and mother-in-law, then I won't do it!" Ning Qi said with a smile.

"You beware that Gu Kai is anxious when he hears it!" Tao Donglai also replied with a smile. Gu Kai is a good person, and his professional ability is not questionable, but he is too old and a good person, and in terms of traversing the inner world, he is the Holy Mother. However, he almost always questioned and opposed any plan to use troops, and this kind of expression also aroused the dissatisfaction of many people. Even Ning Qi, a representative of the civil service system, was quite critical of Gu Kai's almost unprincipled attitude.

"Then again, although this kind of propaganda is not very efficient, the actual effect is quite good. Seeing that so many people were watching Yu Bao's preaching, Ning Qi couldn't help but sigh: "This is the Haihan-style street government!"

"The key is to make the common people understand and accept the foreign policy and military measures we have adopted, and in the future, we must not act under the banner of pirates and bandits every time. Tao Donglai responded: "The teacher is famous, this is what we need most now." ”

In the north, the Haihan militia assisted the Ming government in resisting pirates and the invasion of the Dutch, and in the south, the Ambuna Islands changed hands after being seized by the Dutch.

The overseas Han people are also Han Chinese, and the Haihan Executive Committee naturally wants to shelter them, so the Executive Committee has ordered the organization of troops to prepare to go to the South China Sea to "rescue" the Han people in the Anbuna Islands. Nearly half of the people under the rule of Haihan were immigrants from other places to Hainan Island, and for them who had suffered from war, famine, epidemics, etc., they could empathize with the helplessness of being in a difficult situation, and basically expressed their understanding and approval of sending troops to the Ambuna Islands.

Under the arrangement of the superiors, some of the firms directly under the various departments began to take the lead in donating money to support the military, and some sensitive businessmen soon followed suit. The relevant departments said in a timely manner that after the recapture of the Ambuna Islands, Haihan would set up a commercial port and commercial institutions in the area, and that the commercial banks or individuals who donated money to support the troops before that time would receive a return ranging from the local government depending on the amount of their donations. For example, a dedicated plot, a dedicated wharf, a few months of exemption from port entry fees, and so on.

Even a small individual donation will be given priority to immigrate to the Ambuna Islands and be allocated a certain area of arable land on a per capita basis, which is tempting for immigrants who want to become yeoman farmers. At present, the Ministry of Agriculture is vigorously promoting the collective farm system on Hainan Island, and it is not easy to get land in the name of individuals in the Qiongnan area, and only overseas colonies will implement such a policy of dividing cultivated land according to the head of the country in order to attract Han immigrants to settle in the past.

According to the estimates of the Ministry of Agriculture, if 8,000 to 10,000 people are placed on the main island of Ambuna Island, the output of the island will become large, thus forming a good investment cycle. The civil affairs department is now recruiting people who have voluntarily immigrated to Ambuna Island, and they also want to seize the time, and after Haihan comes forward to take back the local control rights, they will send the labor force over to start production.

This had to be done with the help of the propaganda department, which portrayed the island of Ambuna as a paradise in the South China Sea, if it were not for the pirates and the Dutch, despite the fact that the natural environment and port conditions were not suitable for large-scale development.

Under the effect of this targeted propaganda method, "drive out the Dutch and pirates and retake the Ambuna Islands" soon became a common idea among the people. Three days after the publication of the Haihan Monthly, a total of more than 700 people have submitted applications to the civil affairs department to immigrate to the Anbuna Islands, most of whom are new immigrants who have just arrived in Sanya, and some of them have not even completed the quarantine observation period.

In addition, the number of merchants applying to set up a business in the Anbuna Islands has reached double digits, and although the recapture of the island seems to be a propaganda slogan for now, no one doubts that the determined Haihan Executive Committee is capable of achieving this goal. If you bet early, the round of going to the local enclosure can also be ranked first, which is the usual method used by Haihan to develop new settlements in the past, as long as it is a businessman who has dealt with Haihan for more than two years, basically knows.

Under the operation of the relevant departments, the momentum of public opinion has taken up the rhythm very smoothly, and then we only need to wait for the links on the diplomatic channel to be completed.

Before the publication of the Haihan Monthly, an envoy from the Fujian government arrived at Dayuangang and issued a solemn warning to the East India Company, announcing that the Fujian government had drawn up a number of claims.

Hans, of course, was not such an easy person, and immediately bit back, claiming that the Dutch merchant fleet was attacked by Haihan and Daming sailors in the waters off Nanri Island in Fujian Province for no reason, which was a deliberate provocation against the East India Company and even the Dutch Republic, and if the Fujian government did not immediately release the prisoners and compensate for the war losses, then the East India Company would also retain the right to take retaliatory action.

Although Hans's words were very hard, he actually had no confidence in his heart. According to Van der Wegen, who had fled back to the army, only four Haihan warships actually fought against the Dutch fleet, and the other six ships only blocked the fleet of Shibazhi from a distance and did not participate in the battle, and the Fujian sailors only played a role in it, which was not hindered at all. There is no doubt that the combat level of the Haihan fleet is much higher than that of the Eighteenth Zhi and the Fujian Naval Division, and at the same time, it is also more powerful than the armed sailing ships of the East India Company.

When Vanderwegen evacuated the battlefield of Nanri Island, Eighteen Zhi was still trapped on the island, and in his opinion, it was estimated that it would be difficult for Eighteen Zhi to escape from the encirclement of the Daming Haihan coalition army. Sure enough, a few days after Vanderwegen returned to Dayuangang, an envoy from Eighteen Zhi came to Penghu, claiming that the leader Zheng Zhihu had died in Nanri Island, and that only a few of the participants had fled back to Penghu on a few ships and more than 100 people, which made Hans's mood even worse.
