Chapter 499, Australia's Chinatown
Chapter 190: Chinatown in Australia
October 1634, southwest Australia, estuary of the lower Swan River
A light breeze from the Indian Ocean blows through the vast savannah, and between the knee-high grass, there is a rolling blue wave. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It's late spring in the Southern Hemisphere, and it's the time when the prairie is at its most beautiful, with a variety of white, red, gold, blue, purple and other brilliant colors of flowers dotting this verdant meadow, exuding a charming fragrance with the fresh and warm sea breeze.
Under the bright sunshine, clumps of snow-white sheep can be seen grazing peacefully, and vigilant sheepdogs patrol around. Flocks of kangaroos scurry between vast grasslands and sparse woods, curiously gazing at their new neighbors. As for the Australian specialty, the black swans, which are unique in the world, gracefully lift their slender necks and swim in the clear and winding river.
Behind this beautiful field of life stands a series of towering and majestic buildings.
This is the new headquarters of the Global Chinese Traveler Alliance, a great city that is about to become the capital of the earth: Chinatown!
When human beings gradually got rid of the primitive era of drinking blood and slash-and-burn farming, they were no longer afraid of the beasts that infested the wilderness, and stumbled all the way into the gate of civilized society; When mankind has triumphed over the unpredictable nature and finally no longer has to worry about where the next meal will be; When the first group of philosophers and wise men appeared among human beings, and began to use words and mysterious and strange religious symbols to express their thoughts and amazements about the world, and were no longer ignorant, the first batch of the oldest prehistoric cities began to be born on the earth in the era of floods.
-- The first human thinkers in all the world, detached from the basic production of labor, poured their brains superior to those of their predecessors, and the little wealth they had so hard accumulated, on heavy stones, and built cities of all sorts of high walls, columns, vaults, and staircases, which were symbols of human power, and decorated their courtyards with reliefs and statues full of religious mysteries. And the meaning of the existence of "architecture" has evolved from a simple and simple purpose to shelter from the wind and rain and defend against wild beasts, and gradually evolved into a variety of dazzling additional functions, from military to production to religion, and even pure symbolism......
In short, with the birth of ancient human civilizations, all kinds of glorious megalithic buildings have risen in all corners of the earth as the glorious symbols of their respective civilizations, and have quickly become one of the most remarkable and incredible wonderful products on this planet.
The Global Chinese Traveler Alliance, which is committed to becoming the hegemon of the new generation of earth, has built a lot of construction on the ancient and wild land of Western Australia with a large amount of money beyond the limits of the imagination of the indigenous people of this time and space - the surface of the Swan River has been dug into a deep pit, and new concrete has been poured into it to lay the foundation, and then various classic buildings in another time and space have been erected one after another: the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, the Sydney Opera House, the White House, Capitol Hill, the Statue of Liberty, the Pentagon, Oriental Pearl Tower...... One by one, they reappeared in the Australian wilderness of this plane. This is not only to show the strength and fierceness of the traversers themselves, but also to represent their longing for the world before the traversal.
Although to the vast majority of earthlings in this time and space, these buildings seem a little weird, but they are absolutely magnificent!
——Standing on the deck of the "Hangzhou" that slowly entered the port, whether it was Li Huamei, the female captain who had dealt with the "Australians" for many years, or Xu Xiake, a famous donkey who had just traveled half the world, they were first standing on the 37-meter-high artificial island outside the port, holding a torch in one hand and the Statue of Liberty, a replica of the preamble to the Huameng Constitution in the other, and then saw the back of the port wharf, which was like a mountain range that stretched to the sky. So I was stunned from the bottom of my heart!
Compared with the magnificent city in front of you, even the first-class prosperous cities of the Ming Dynasty, such as Guangzhou and Nanjing, seem too small.
The stunning visuals are like ...... A small, uninformed tourist in the modern world stands on the embankment of Shanghai's Huangpu River Bund Park, looking up at the dazzling Pudong skyscraper complex across from him with his mouth wide open, as if they are oppressing all beings.
“…… This...... Is this the capital of Australians? Is...... Is...... Alas! It's spectacular! After finally coming back to his senses, Xu Xiake searched his stomach for a long time, but he still didn't know what words to use to describe it, so he had to let out a long sigh.
As for Captain Li Huamei, who was standing beside him, he hadn't come to his senses at this time, and his mouth was almost drooling.
“…… Ahem, Captain Li, please report to the Huameng Admiralty Building at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, here is the notice, please sign for it......"
Looking at the female captain's stupid look, a certain traverser pilot who had just come up in a dinghy couldn't help but roll his eyes and cough dryly.
“…… Yes...... Wake up, comrade, are there any other instructions? Captain Li Huamei, who had just woken up from a dream, finally came back to her senses, and hurriedly showed a flattering smile, took a pencil from her ear, and hastily signed a ghost drawing on the notice.
“…… The leader didn't say, huh...... It's best to dress formally, though. And take a shower as soon as possible......"
Faced with the beautiful female pirate approaching, the traverser pilot pinched his nose and took a half step back, while subconsciously shaking his head.
“…… Got it. The female pirate, who was still in the mode of selling cuteness in business just now, looked down at her dirty coat and long skirt, and pulled her pretty face two feet long in an instant: "...... Hmph, don't look down on people! My aunt and grandmother have as many beautiful clothes as they want, and the eldest lady doesn't have as many as me! ”
Li Huamei snorted unhappily in her heart, of course, she just nodded in thanks, and returned to the steering wheel in the wheelhouse.
Next, after the "Hangzhou" docked at the dock and the anchor mooring was completed, Xu Xiake, who was a passenger, took the servants off the ship. And Li Huamei, the female captain who had just been disliked, had to continue to direct her even dirtier sailors to unload the cargo with a bad face and a dirty face. However, thinking that she would soon be able to settle in this magical city with her fiancé Qi Feng, and that Xu Xiake, an old man, was just a hurried passerby, the mood of the female pirate became balanced again......
But...... It stinks on the ship these days!!
As the hatches opened, all kinds of disgusting breaths poured out, replacing the fresh sea breeze, making Li Huamei almost vomit.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
With the successful conclusion of this round of Chinese mainland strategy and the initial completion of the headquarters of Huameng Australia, the sea capacity of the traversers has been much more abundant. However, the headquarters of the Huameng immediately issued a series of urgent additional material procurement lists, so that the merchant fleets of the various union republics were filled with orders in an instant. Even Captain Li Huamei's new warship "Hangzhou" had to be temporarily rebuilt, unloading some of its guns to make room for it, turning it into an armed merchant ship, and then going to the port of Goa, India, where Li Huamei used to run before her "casting," to transport all kinds of bulk goods ordered by the Huameng.
According to the information received by Li Huamei, the first thing that the Huameng authorities urgently need to import is a special commodity: hundreds of thousands of female slaves. This is not mainly for the traverser to be a maid, but to balance the ratio of men and women in the area controlled by the Chinese League, and at the same time to solve the actual physiological needs of the naturalized citizens of the Chinese League - according to the reservation plan, after the completion of the mainland strategy and the transition to the confrontation stage, the armies of the countries of the Chinese League will have a large-scale retirement peak. Those retired soldiers, whether they are policemen or cadres, workers or peasants, are not as reliable as starting a family, especially those retired soldiers who will be sent to the newly occupied coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty to serve as township police and grassroots workers in the future, if they only take one pair of hands to take office, it is difficult to guarantee that nothing will happen after a long time, even if the traversers are lonely for a long time, they will make a big mess.
In addition, those immigrants from the Central Plains who were recruited to South America, North America, Africa, and the Outer Northeast are also severely disproportionate. Although it is possible to rely on intermarriage with local indigenous people to solve some of the female population gap, it is still far from enough.
However, although the Huameng has now seized several provinces from the territory of the Ming Empire, the ratio of men to women in the total population of society is equally exaggerated in both southern and northern China: ancient China has always had a tradition of drowning female infants, and at the end of each feudal dynasty, when the pressure of survival intensifies, and the contradiction between population and land becomes more and more acute, the phenomenon of female infanticide becomes more common and serious.
For example, as a woman who always has an unhappy belly, if Li Huamei's mother hadn't been a wet nurse for a foreign merchant's family, and the family was relatively well-off, then Li Huamei, the legendary life of a female pirate, might have ended in a broken bucket.
In addition, according to the survey statistics of the main occupation areas of the Ming Dynasty, the number of child brides is also extremely staggering. In this era, the vast majority of women usually marry when they are teenagers, and the labor force that can be contributed in their lifetime basically belongs to their in-laws. In this way, for the mother's side as an "investor", of course, the sooner it is sent out, the smaller the burden (hence the saying that the daughter is a money-loser).
Therefore, when thousands of little Li Huamei were only a few years old, they were sold by ruthless parents to be their little daughters-in-law on top of the huge base, and all kinds of irreproducible coincidences, there will be a legendary female captain Li Huamei who can get rid of this reincarnation-like common fate.
Of course, Captain Li Huamei, who is currently eager to have a child with her fiancé as soon as possible, when she thinks of those Chaoshan daughters-in-law who were born more than ten years later than herself and can go to the ground with her doll, I am afraid that most of the things that spring up in her heart are not pride and pity, but all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred by biting her handkerchief......
If we do not consider this luxury of human rights, from the perspective of the development of society as a whole, child brides are not a problem in themselves, but the problem is that once combined with Cheng Zhu Lixue's strict requirements for women, it becomes a catastrophe to make matters worse: it must be known that the child mortality rate is very high in these years, and both the child bride and the young husband are likely to not live to adulthood. If the woman dies first, it doesn't matter if the man loses a bride price, but if the man dies first, the child daughter-in-law is very likely to be forced to be widowed by her in-laws and live a lifetime with a tablet......
On the one hand, a large number of young men could not find their wives and were forced to hold back and beat singles, causing serious hidden dangers to social security; On the other hand, there are a large number of women of working age, who are forced to remain widows and unable to marry because of outdated morals...... The pragmatic traversers could not understand it at all, and completely refused to tolerate such a strange situation, so they publicly declared that widowhood was a crime, and at the same time ordered the occupation forces to dispatch and destroy the archways of chastity in various places.
In order to further change customs, the occupying forces also imposed very strict regulations that, in addition to the families of martyrs, all widows under the age of 35 must remarry, and if they are widowed, they must pay a large monthly fine, and those who denounce them will be rewarded heavily. In addition, young women were forbidden to become monks, and nuns under the age of 30 were forcibly returned to the nuns (as soon as the aforementioned Agui left Weizhuang, the little nuns of the retreat nunnery were dragged out of the nunnery in tears).
These violent reform measures have provoked countless bloody conflicts and untold riots in rural China, where customs are stubbornly conservative, but the number of marriageable young women who have been squeezed out is still very limited, far from meeting the actual needs of the Chinese League's global colonial cause.
As a result, in order to make up for the shortage of female "goods" in China, the slave markets in the major ports along the Indian Ocean coast were booming for a while, allowing slave traders from all walks of life to welcome a new round of prosperity. The untouchable daughters of the major princely states of southern India, the captive nuns of Ceylon, Siam and Burma, the daughters of good German families who were spoiled by the wars of the Thirty Years' War in Europe, the families of the rebels suppressed by the Turkish and Persian Empires, the dark-skinned girls of the Ethiopian and Somali tribes in East Africa, the slave girls of any color, language, and culture, were all collected by slave caravans and transported to Goa, Surat, and Malacca. It is then transported to their own territory by a fleet of ships controlled by the traversers.
Li Huamei was ordered to come to the capital of the Australians this time, and there were more than 20 Persian female slaves in the cabin of the Hangzhou, all of whom were thoughtful, diligent, docile and obedient, so they were carefully selected to go to the capital of the Huameng to do some light work such as cleaning, laundry, and pruning flowers and plants. If you're lucky enough to be spotted by a traverser, you might be able to get rid of your slave status in one fell swoop.
As for the female slaves who were transported to Hainan Island, Taiwan, or Liaodong, most of them did not have such a good fate. After stumbling out of the sweltering cabin, completing the handovers, quarantining and decontamination, they are thrown into steaming silk reeling factories, deafening textile factories, pungent smelling pharmaceutical factories, and so on. It doesn't matter what you once believed, what you couldn't eat, what you couldn't touch. After more than ten hours of endless physical labor every day, the only instinct left is to listen to the whistle to sit down and work, listen to the whistle to get up to eat, listen to the whistle to line up to go back to the dormitory, listen to the whistle to sing loudly, listen to the whistle to drink water and go to the toilet, and if the whistle does not sound, you can only bury your head in work. Until one day, the working population that was used to fill the severely imbalanced ratio of men to women was ordered to line up for some social event, and then marry a man to produce the next generation for the country.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
In addition to frantically importing girls from all over the world, the Huameng authorities are also buying buffalo, cattle, Dutch dairy cows, Indian zebu cattle, cowhides, and cow bones all over the world...... It seems that almost everything related to cattle is in the procurement of Huameng. And Li Huamei's ship also loaded a lot. Among them, the purchased cowhide is mainly for military use, because of the consumption of large-scale wars against the Ming Empire in the past two years, the military warehouses of the various union republics have almost bottomed out, and it is difficult to even ensure the regular replacement of regular soldiers. Before the first artificial leather factory was put into operation, the quartermaster logistics department still had to collect all kinds of strange leathers for the soldiers, which were used to make soles, holsters and belts for the soldiers, elephant skins, whale skins, shark skins, python skins, even salmon skins and bonito skins, and of course the most versatile and popular natural leathers, of course, cowhide and sheepskin. In the wardrobe of the female pirate Li Huamei's own cabin, there are many gorgeous leather shoes, leather boots and leather armor.
Originally, Indians worshipped cows as gods, and those who dared to eat beef were lynched to death, so naturally there were not many cowhides for sale. However, now the overlord of India is the Mughal dynasty that believes in Allah, and the number of people who eat beef has increased, and the production of cowhide has naturally increased. It's just that at this time, the tanning process in India was quite primitive, and every time the cowhide was trafficked, it had to rot a lot on the ship, and it stinked when it was time to open the cabin and unload the cargo.
Since there is a supply of cowhide in India, it is natural that beef bones can be purchased. Traversers buy a large number of beef bones for bone china use, if it is relatively fresh beef bones, then you can also take it to boil glue first. The demand for rubber in modern industry is really outrageous, construction, shipbuilding, military industry, machinery, chemical industry, medicine, furniture, printing, shoemaking...... No industry dares to say that it does not need glue, and the rubber industry itself has become a fairly developed private industry, and there are hundreds of small rubber workshops in the territory of the various republics of the Chinese League.
In order to ensure the supply of raw materials for the rubber industry, the municipal governments of some cities even ordered all restaurants under their jurisdiction to inspect the kitchen waste swill every day, and pick out all the things that can be used to make glue, such as pork bones, sheep bones, fish bones, fish scales, fish skins, fish intestines, fish bones, etc., and turn them in.
However, even if the bones of the ox have just been killed, even if they are completely dried, as soon as they are pulled to the sea and return to the moisture, they will immediately become foul-smelling. Although Li Huamei listened to the experience of other old captains, when purchasing goods at the port of Goa, she asked the supplier in advance to smash all the beef bones first, and then put them in barrels and seal them, which was finally a little better, but as long as it took a long time, the smell that permeated the ship was still comparable to a poison gas bomb.
Of course, at present, the most smelly cargo on Li Huamei's ship is Indian live cattle, with a total of nearly 100 heads, which are used to provide animal power for agricultural reclamation.
Up to now, the traversers have to rely on oxen to pull the plough instead of the tractor for agricultural development - for the traversers who have the technical and material support of modern society, as well as the assistance of the robot cat Doraemon 22nd century black technology props, it is not difficult to dig oil wells in this world, and it is not impossible to build an oil refinery, in fact, there are currently two oil refineries in Hainan Island and North America. But the real problem is how to get fuel and parts to the colonies scattered around the world, and at the same time quickly train so many maintenance personnel and drivers from the indigenous people of the plane...... It's just too difficult.
In addition, in the early stages of colonial reclamation, it was not cost-effective to use tractors until the land had become fully mature. Moreover, buffaloes are naturally suitable for cultivating rice fields. Even in the Chinese countryside of the twenty-first century, walk-behind tractors have not completely replaced the buffalo.
Now that Huameng is determined to colonize and open up the world, the number of cattle it needs to raise is naturally an astronomical amount. However, at this time, the breeds of cultivated cattle produced in China did not meet the actual needs of the traversers. In the south of China, because of the large number of people and the lack of land, the plot of land is fragmented, and as a result, after thousands of years of breeding from generation to generation, the Chinese buffalo has been successfully cultivated into a small breed, with an average weight of only more than 300 kilograms. The large-scale agricultural production carried out by the traverser in Australia must be planted in a row, and the larger the cattle, the better, and the smaller the size, the less cost-effective.
To this end, Li Huamei was ordered to buy large-sized breeds of cultivated cattle from West Asia and India. Because adult cattle are not suitable for large-scale centralized transportation, Li Huamei buys calves that are about one year old, and the calves that are too young are too delicate, and I am afraid that they cannot resist the long voyage by physical strength.
However, cramming so many calves into a cramped cabin, with the occasional jolting of the waves, is not a comfortable journey. Even when the wind is calm, the cabin is stuffy and hot, and there is no fresh water pool for them to bathe and cool off, so the physical exertion of these Indian calves is very large, and they have to be fed enough concentrate all the way, and the incidental result is that the cow dung in the cabin is quickly piled up, and the flies are immediately plagued, and the dozen or so female slaves who were ordered to clean the cattle pen, even if they are tired and broken from working all day, they still can't clean it.
As a result, as time went on, the smell on the Hangzhou became more and more stinky, and it became more and more in the direction of moving floating garbage heaps.
However, when I set off from Goa this time, in order to free up space for loading, the ship did not carry much fresh water, and there was no rain along the way...... Thankfully, all this nightmare experience has finally passed.
Li Huamei directed the sailors to spend a whole day, first driving the slave girls and calves off the ship. With the help of the dock crane, he unloaded the cowhide and bones loaded on the ship, and then borrowed the large bathroom of the port purification camp to hurriedly rinse, and then rushed to the seamen's inn by the dock - in the hall on the first floor of the inn, the reception staff who had been notified had already prepared a sumptuous reception banquet for the sailors:
Herb-roasted meat with cumin, pepper and salt, large bones with meat and vegetables tossed into a large pot with radish and kale, a variety of luscious fresh fruits, and finally strong rum and vodka.
Although the sailors were a little sorry for the lack of coquettish tavern warblers (this is a new city that had just been completed), the fragrant roasted meats, delicious hot soups, and mellow spirits made them feel comfortable and laughed uncontrollably.
As for Captain Li Huamei, who was more noble, she did not drink and frolic with her sailors in the hall below. Instead, he stayed alone in the bathroom of the luxury suite on the top floor, soaking his bronzed body in a white porcelain bathtub filled with hot water, and while trying to wash away the odor from his body with shampoo, he looked curiously and admiringly at the bright sea of urban lights outside the window through the open bathroom window.
“…… The big wheel on the other side...... Is it the Ferris wheel that Brother Feng drew in his notebook? I really want to go up and have fun with Brother Feng! ”
Holding a glass of red wine and half-lying in the bathtub with a towel wrapped in her head, Li Huamei couldn't help but be stupid when she thought about the honest smile of her lover Qi Feng.
On the other hand, Li Huamei and others are not the first to visit Chinatown in Western Australia. Before the arrival of the Hangzhou, a group of visitors from Eurasian countries had already set foot on the wharf of this "Australian capital" through various means...... Anyone who eats beef is lynched, and naturally there is not much cowhide to sell. However, now the overlord of India is the Mughal dynasty that believes in Allah, and the number of people who eat beef has increased, and the production of cowhide has naturally increased.

With the help of the dock crane, he unloaded the cowhide and bones loaded on the ship, and then borrowed the large bathroom of the port purification camp to hurriedly rinse, and then rushed to the seamen's inn by the dock - in the hall on the first floor of the inn, the reception staff who had been notified had already prepared a sumptuous reception banquet for the sailors:
