Chapter 357: A New Guest in Sanya Harbor

Fighting a war is a money, the civil war in Annam has lasted for several years, and most of the income of the two imperial courts in the north and south has been invested in the battlefield, even if one side has temporarily won on the battlefield, it is difficult to use the victory to win the opponent in one fell swoop, and both sides have been struggling to support the war. (Baidu search update is the fastest and most stable). The update is so fast. It is impossible for both the North and the South to do this, after all, they do not have the ability to maneuver at sea like the Haihan Militia to directly attack the cities in the hinterland of the rear, and use it to maintain the cost of the army by fighting and supporting the war, and even to obtain economic benefits by waging wars, which is impossible for both the North and the South to do, after all, they currently do not have the ability to maneuver at sea like the Haihan Navy. In particular, the South Vietnamese region suffered heavy losses twice in a year, and most of the surface troops deployed near the 'engagement' theater were swept away by the Hai Han militia in the previous time, and a large number of civilian ships were snatched from their own rear by the Hai Han militia in the second time.

In contrast, the situation in North Vietnam was slightly better, and if the North Vietnamese court could endure it for another year and a half, this situation of weakness might have changed. The Black Earth Port Shipyard is currently producing a steady stream of offshore sailing ships with a displacement of about 100 tons, and in about a year, the North Vietnamese may be able to have a small maritime force. At that time, the problem of land and water warfare, which had plagued them for a long time, could also be effectively solved, and the North Vietnamese Army even had the opportunity to transport troops from the sea to directly launch an attack on the Hue Phu area, which lacked the protection of surface troops.

Of course, there is another quicker solution, which is to directly find the Haihan people to rent a big ship. Although the North Vietnamese military borrowed a number of ships from Vinh An Port for free this time, most of them were small boats, and there was no problem with short-distance transportation tasks such as crossing the river, but it was more difficult to complete long-distance troop projection. As for sailing ships with a displacement of more than 100 tons, Hai Han will definitely not provide them for free, but when it comes to money, the North Vietnamese military, which is stretched thin on military spending, really has no confidence. Even if it has a clear advantage on the battlefield, if the current pace continues, the consumption of military spending will still be a huge astronomical amount, and the North Vietnamese court is not even sure whether it will be able to unify the South Vietnamese region before its own country is completely bankrupt.

The lack of military spending in North Vietnam due to years of war and 'chaos' is not unsolvable, and Hai Han has long proposed a comprehensive cooperation package, but the conditions are unacceptable to the North Vietnamese court. Haihan's solution was simple: North Vietnam traded population and land for military aid.

After the Haihan people took the land to the Black Soil Port, Tu Son Peninsula and Vinh An Port one after another, some wise people in the North Vietnamese court finally woke up and realized that the Haihan people were actually occupying the territory in the name of the concession. And the people who built all kinds of infrastructure for the Haihan people in these concessions were the war refugees who the North Vietnamese court once considered a burden. North Vietnam paid for land and population, but in exchange for all kinds of consumables produced by Haihan, but every step of Haihan was above board, and some bilateral agreements were even signed by the North Vietnamese court, and they were not even qualified to complain afterwards.

However, when the far-sighted people in the North Vietnamese court realized the intentions of the Haihan, they were no longer willing to exchange the Haihan people for help at a high price, at least they could no longer casually sell land to the Haihan people in the form of concessions, especially in the key areas of the coastal areas. The military attacks suffered by South Vietnam have fully demonstrated the importance of the deployment of defenses in the coastal zone, and the Haihan people have singled out the coastal areas in North Vietnam to establish concessions, which has caused the authorities to occasionally feel a chill in their backs. The population exported to Haihan has gradually changed from the original war refugees to prisoners and prisoners of war, and the total amount of population export has gradually decreased, hoping to slightly limit the expansion speed of the Haihan concession.

Of course, these measures are still a little immature in the eyes of the Haihan Executive Committee, after all, with the accumulation of 400 years of historical experience, whether it is political or economic means, if we want to rectify a country like Annan with internal and external troubles, the Executive Committee has too many precedents to learn from. Due to military needs, the North Vietnamese regime will definitely not turn its face with itself at this stage, and the biggest difficulty in the outward expansion of the group lies in the initial two or three years, as long as it 'survives' this period of development and gets on the right track, it is not impossible to support a regime with a better cooperative attitude to come to power and manage Annam.

At present, the North Vietnamese court is more anxious to solve the division between the north and the south in the country, so no matter how difficult it is, it still has to squeeze out resources to exchange military assistance from Haihan, even if it can continue to fight the civil war. Just as the confrontation front between North and South Vietnam moved south to the Hengshan line, two fortune ships loaded with Annam immigrants arrived at the new port of Sanya, which had not yet been fully completed.

The sailors on board rounded their arms and threw the cable onto the trestle, which was then pulled to the shore and firmly tied to the mushroom-shaped cement pier. On the riverbank, a platoon of black-clad policemen is on standby, and they will be responsible for taking over the migrants on both boats. The police were joined by members of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the medical team, who were to conduct a simple quarantine on the ship and register the migrants' demographic information.

After several months of construction of Sanya New Port, the current channel in and out of the port is repaired, the wharf of the inland river near the south bank of the river has been basically completed, more than ten trestle bridges of different lengths and widths can be used to dock from ordinary fishing boats to 500-ton large warships, and the stockyard behind the wharf is adjacent to the Xingang Railway Station, there are four trains here every day between Tian Du, and the transportation of goods in and out of the port is very convenient. After the completion of the construction of this section of the wharf, the Executive Committee could not wait to put it into use.

Due to the increasing number of merchant ships from the mainland, although the harbor of Shengli Harbor is large, the steel fleet that docks through the group occupies about one-fifth of the area, and the wharf in the barracks area on the east side of the harbor is dedicated to the docking of warships, which is needless to say, and the west side is the dock area to which the Shengli Port Shipyard belongs, so the dock area left for ordinary merchant ships and civilian ships to dock is relatively limited. One of the purposes of the Executive Committee's development of Sanya New Port is to share the cargo handling pressure of Shengli Port, so after the opening of the railway from Shengli Port to Sanya New Port, there will be basically no difficulties in land transportation for loading and unloading goods from Sanya New Port, and the Guò railway can be connected between Xingang and Tietian Independent Industrial Zone.

At present, the general division of labor between the two ports is that Shengli Port is responsible for docking ships from the mainland, while Sanya New Port mainly receives coal ships and migrant ships that come from the direction of Annan on a regular basis.

Once it comes to immigration affairs, there are more problems to deal with on this wharf, so the executive committee set up the Sanya Port Management Committee, the administrative level is the same as that of the Shengli Port Management Committee, and in July, Zhou Hengxing, the local leader of the city, was transferred back from Heitu Port to serve as the director of the management committee, and the position he left was taken over by Xie 'Chun', the local chief of maritime affairs.

Today, Zhou Hengxing personally came to the wharf to preside over the reception of the two migrant boats. With his current status, he would not have had to come forward to deal with this specific work, but the immigrants on these two ships today are mainly South Vietnamese prisoners of war, and Zhou Hengxing came forward to prevent emergencies in the 'handover'.

Up to now, the Executive Committee's use of Annam immigrants has continued the previous policy -- North Vietnamese immigrants are basically forcibly converted to naturalized citizenship after a quarantine period, and then assigned to settle in various migrant settlements; while South Vietnamese prisoners of war are mostly sent directly to hard labor camps as free labor because of language and ethnicity problems, and these people must serve at least three years of hard labor before they can be given a chance to regain their freedom depending on the process of their reform. Of course, given the intensity of labor arranged in the current hard labor camps, it is difficult to say how many of these people will be able to serve three years of hard labor.

After the ship docked, the medical team boarded the ship to check that there was no epidemic or other conditions on the ship. Since almost all of these two ships were prisoners of war, the medical examination process was far less careful than that of ordinary migrant ships, and after exchanging a few words of opinion with the medical personnel accompanying the ship, the medical team on the dock 'exchanged' a few more people were randomly 'sampled' and examined, and then signed and cleared the way.

A crew member opened the vent on the deck and shouted into the black 'hole' and 'hole' cabin: "When you get to the place, come out, one after another, don't stop!

These prisoners of war were loaded on a ship in Yong'an Port five days ago, and after being locked in a steamer-like cabin and drifting at sea for nearly 200 nautical miles, all of them did not look very good. Since they didn't see sunlight for many days, most people were so shaken that they couldn't even keep their eyes open when they went up to the deck.

The prisoners of war were strung together in chains and shackles in ten people, and each of them was like a centipede, dragging the chains slowly. Most of the people look numb, and only a few will look around, trying to 'figure out' where they are by looking at their surroundings. However, the people who were looking around quickly put away their thoughts, because the black-clad policemen had already 'drawn' their batons from their waists and beat those who were 'messy' everywhere. The police have long accumulated enough experience to deal with these hard labors, and the sticks are often more effective than preaching to teach newcomers to obey the rules here. After only a few beatings, they naturally know what they can and can't do.

"These people are the property of the executive committee, you take it easy, you will have to deduct money for killing and maiming!" Zhou Hengxing looked at the slightly 'chaotic' and 'chaotic' situation on the dock, and couldn't help but say hello.

"Did you hear what Director Zhou said, start with a little steady!" A middle-aged man in a police uniform, with a dark complexion and a thin body, hurriedly said: "Let them quickly line up and listen to Director Zhou's lecture!"

This middle-aged man is called Yu Zhen, and Wei Ping is a friend of the inspector, he used to be a catcher in the Ya'men' of Yacheng, and later Wei Ping said that he was moved, and at the end of last year, he resigned from public office and secretly came to Shengli Port to serve. He was able to be smoothly absorbed into the police system, which is somewhat due to Wei Ping.

Yu Zhen jumped from arrest to become a policeman, basically a professional counterpart, he has work experience as an errand in the ya'men', plus Wei Ping has guidance for 'sex', so he got started quickly, and after a few months, he was promoted by Ren Liang, the leader of the Public Security Department of the Ministry of Justice, and sent to Sanya Xingang to be in charge of public security work.

Aftershocks are people who come out of the ya's 'door', and they are naturally very sensitive to the 'door' and 'door' in the officialdom. After he entered Haihan's civil service system, he also did some homework and studied which positions in this system were promoted quickly and had potential. The position of director of the Hong Kong District Management Committee is definitely a good position with a bright official career in Yu Zhen's opinion.

The first director of the Shengli Port Management Committee was Schneider, one of the nine elders of the Haihan Executive Committee, and everyone in the local naturalized people knew that Shi Da's treasurer was the God of Wealth who was in charge of Haihan's finances, so naturally there was no need to say more. The second is Ren Liang, and now he has also joined the executive committee as a senior official, which is already very revealing. Although Sanya Port is a new port that has just taken shape, Yu Zhen can see that the resources invested by the Executive Committee here are not a joke, and the future development potential may still be above Shengli Port, and this Director Zhou is said to be the director of the management committee in the colonial port of Annan, and although he has not been promoted when he is transferred back from overseas, his work experience in holding the number one position in the two ports is not a joke, and most of them will continue to be promoted in the future. With such an understanding, Aftershock has a little bit of a welcoming posture in front of Zhou Hengxing, and his words and deeds are mostly considered by Zhou Hengxing's preferences.

Although Aftershock urged his men to assemble the laborers in a group, the two boats were loaded with hundreds of people, and it still took a little time for these unknown guys to stand in line on the dock. Later, Aftershock couldn't hold back himself, and rushed into the ranks of the laborers, scolding, kicking and kicking, in order to speed up the whole team of these laborers.

"Director Zhou, the whole team has been completed, please speak!" Yu Zhen reported while handing over the iron horn very doggy.

Zhou Hengxing took over and said lightly: "It's hard work." ”

"Don't work hard, don't work hard, serve the Executive Committee!" Yu Zhen also went to several special political and ideological training courses before he was promoted, and although he didn't quite understand what the lecturer was talking about, slogans such as "serving the Executive Committee" that were easy to show loyalty were kept in mind and always on his lips.

Zhou Hengxing has been in Annam for more than half a year, and he has a certain talent for languages, and now he can basically control the dialects of North and South Vietnam, so he doesn't even need to translate the words of these prisoners of war. He took a few steps forward, stepped on the temporary container platform, raised the iron horn and began to speak: "This is Sanya Port, and your life will be spent here in the next few years!"

"In this place, you had better forget where you came from and what you have done before, and you only need to remember one thing in your mind, and that is to obey orders! If you want to disobey orders, I can guarantee that you will never leave here alive, but if you obey orders and work honestly, then you will get food and shelter for your survival! After three years of work, you will have a chance to regain your freedom! Think about it, if you sell your life for three years for the small court of Hue, will they let you go? You people should all die on the battlefield, but now you have a chance to live, and I hope you will cherish it, because this opportunity is only once for each of you!"

Zhou Hengxing saw that the hard labor in the audience was silent, and he was also very satisfied with the effect of his speech, and handed the loudspeaker to Yu Zhen after getting off the stage: "You can also say a few words!"

Aftershocks were shocked and said: "In front of Director Zhou, how dare the villain be abrupt!"

"Let you say it, you can say that you also have a part in the management of these people in the future. Zhou Hengxing nodded at Aftershock and said, "I'm in a hurry to go to Fort Victory for a meeting, you handle the matter here, and arrange for these people to work." ”

"Yes, yes, the villain must do his best, Director Zhou walks slowly. ”

Yu Zhen bowed down and sent Zhou Hengxing away, and also walked onto the platform built by the cargo box, looked at the black pressure under the stage, cleared his throat with a dry cough, raised the microphone and said: "You Annan cubs, don't think anything else when you get here, I'm a bad temper, so the rules are in front first! From now on, you will be a team of ten people, one person will violate the rules, and the whole team will be punished! Those who try to escape will be hanged! If you want to live here, you will do my best to do a good job!"

After a simple and crude speech, Aftershock ordered the slaves to be escorted to their station. The hard labor camp on this side of Sanya Port is not far from the wharf, just at the foot of Luhuitouling Mountain in the south. Naturally, the accommodation conditions of the hard labor camp cannot be compared with those of ordinary laborers, which are basically simple pergolas made of bamboo and wood, which leak in all directions, and the shelter function on rainy days is also very worrisome. Each pergola has a living area of less than ten square meters, but it has to accommodate a team of ten people, which is basically packed and there is no room left. The only thing that could give the laborers some comfort was that after they were stationed here, the shackles that bound them together had finally been removed, and they no longer had to be embarrassed as they had been a few days before, and one person and everyone else had to be forced to watch from the sidelines. Each shack has a commode, and there are basically no other living facilities. Meals are only picked up when the meal is opened, and there is a special person to take it away after eating, as for the labor tools, it is necessary to work hours to get access, and there are special people to count and control. If someone tries to find weapons in the camp to rebel, then the only way to do so is to demolish the house. Soon the laborers were given their first food after disembarking, white rice porridge in a bowl of coconut shells. Despite the fact that the meal consisted of an unknown pickle, which was dark and salty, the slaves devoured it with gusto, for it was the first meal they had actually eaten since their captivity, and there was really no reason to dislike it.
