Chapter 457 The bow is on the string and has to be sent.
Xi'an Town Wharf
The blue water is rolling and the seagulls are circling and flying in the sky, chasing and foraging, and the waves rush onto the shore again and again, crashing on the hard mountain slope and shattering in the blink of an eye, making a "bang-la-la" sound of the waves.
A 4,000-ton migrant ship from Borneo slowly approached the dock, and soon after, another migrant boat also docked, and two migrant boats were stationed in the sea not far away, which was a large migrant fleet that brought more than 10,000 new immigrants.
Most of these new immigrants are from Borneo, and a few are from Shangri-La Island, all of whom are Chinese men with more than a year of immigration experience, and they are attracted by the granting of wasteland reclamation rights, preferential immigration loans, and the free distribution of Arab women to start a family.
Only these physically strong immigrants can withstand the bumps of long-distance shipping and travel thousands of miles to the Gulf of Aden in the Horn of East Africa to deliver fresh blood to the town of Xi'an.
The trick of marrying a wife for free is a big killer, attracting many young men who are not willing to be mediocre to go to the Horn of Africa to find their dreams.
Whether it's Borneo, Shangri-La, or Queensland, the number of men and women is a structural problem, and although the sharp contradiction between men and women has been alleviated through social self-regulation, it will continue to exist for a long time.
The prices of Chinese women who have poured into Australia through media companies have remained high, and Queensland law prohibits human trafficking, but charging high fees in the name of traditional Chinese bride price is a policy game and is tacitly tolerated.
Because this will help alleviate the acute needs of society, establish a stable and harmonious society, and reconcile yin and yang, and everything will go smoothly.
It is also based on the high bride price and various marriage fees that it is difficult for the majority of low-level male immigrants to solve the marriage problem, and it is a dream to marry a Chinese daughter-in-law without five or six years of savings.
The so-called full warm thoughts**.
Whether in Shangri-La or Borneo, Chinese immigrants generally live a relatively nourishing life, with no worries about food and clothing, and the biggest concern in their hearts is to set up a family.
Malay indigenous women are cheaper, but after all, the number is limited, and not anyone can afford a dozen pounds at every turn, and after more than two years of craze, it gradually subsided, and the price of marriage and wife also rose.
And it looks like it will tend to be cut off in the short term, and the occupied areas of Borneo are almost devastated by the scourge, and there are no more female population resources to deliver.
Unless...... It is the populous island of Java.
Well, well, the handwriting of the Singapore Peace Treaty has not been dry, and the Earl obviously has no intention of continuing to gather wool on a fat sheep, let alone starting a war for the marriage of the people at the bottom, which is also too.
Therefore, the low-level Chinese people who feel that they have no hope of marrying a wife have enthusiastically signed up for the African colonization team, hoping to realize their dream of marrying a daughter-in-law here, and also marry a white daughter-in-law.
As for whether they are Arabs or not, it doesn't matter, as long as they can have babies, they can't understand it anyway, so what's the difference?
The new immigrants walked down the dock with the flow of people, carrying large and small packages with them, and their eyes scanned the surroundings with novelty, less fear and uneasiness, and more excitement and eagerness, especially when they saw the Arab women in black robes passing by, many sturdy young men couldn't help but whistle, attracting a large number of enthusiastic discussions.
"Hey, brother, these women aren't just for us, are they?"
"If you want me to say what are you doing in a black robe on such a hot day? I'm afraid I don't want to cover my whole body with prickly heat. ”
"Obediently, the woman is worried before she arrives, if you are worried about covering the prickly heat, you can go and check it, anyway, my woman will never let her wear this rausch, the clothes are very hot, cover it and hide it, can't you see people?"
"This makes sense, at home from the father, out of the house from the husband, of course the man is the master of his mother-in-law."
"Don't be foolish, these women have their own religion, like that...... What is taught by Yi, women have to wrap these black clothes on their bodies, and even cover their faces, I have seen it in Shangri-La. ”
"What are you talking about, the Arab women in Shangri-La have also removed their black robes, removed the face covering, and at most put multiple scarves around their necks to cover their heads, nothing else is different from us."
"What do you mean it's no different? How high is an Arab woman's nose and how big are her eyes? It's stronger than a Chinese woman! You can have a baby just by looking at it. ”
"Bullshit...... The taste is great, too. ”
"That's what happened, this brother, may I ask, do you have such a person in your family?"
"I've heard about it anyway......"
"Hahahaha......"
Laughter filled the wharves, and the Chinese settlers quickly adapted to the heat, and it was January 1886, the cool season of the year, with temperatures generally between 20 and 30 degrees Celsius, and even cooler in the evenings.
But they won't laugh long before they cry, because after March, as the climate of the whole region enters the hot season, the daytime temperature generally reaches between 30 and 40 degrees, and even 47 degrees at the hottest time, which can really heat people to death.
A group of high-ranking officers stood by the dock, looking thoughtfully at the Chinese immigrants who had just arrived in Xi'an Town, these people were more vigorous, more confident, more bold and ambitious than the immigrants who had just arrived from the Shenzhou mainland, and perhaps more suitable for the hot land of Africa.
Among this group of officers, the division commander Mo Rufeng, who was carrying a gold star on his shoulder, was surrounded by everyone, his temperament was elegant and moderate, and he looked extremely outstanding in a well-fitting brigadier general's uniform, with a Confucian general style.
"Colleagues, I don't need to say more, you also know that the fleet of these four migrant ships is the main fleet that is about to carry the landing force to the Mozambique region in central East Africa, in addition to six cargo ships, plus a specially reconstructed tidal flat connection ship and two escort ships, this is the entire landing lineup.
On the occasion of the upcoming expedition, I have a message for Deputy Division Commander Huo......"
"Please speak clearly."
As the commander of the advance team, he will lead the African Expeditionary Force's first marine regiment, cavalry battalion, and two battalions of the logistics baggage regiment, totaling more than 3,300 troops, to take the lead in landing as the leader of the large army, and establish a firm base to receive the arrival of the large army.
Mo Rufeng said with a solemn expression; "You and I shoulder the heavy trust of the earl, the prestige of the country is beyond the waves, you should know that there is a reason to advance and not retreat, even if you die, you will not live up to the prestige of our army, those who are cowardly in the face of the enemy, there is no forgiveness for killing, fear of the former, kill without forgiveness, those who are at both ends of the rat, kill without forgiveness, and those who miss the military aircraft will be killed without forgiveness."
As soon as these murderous words came out, everyone was solemn.
"Humble duty and abide by the orders of the division, and the whole army will advance without retreat." Huo Xiaohu replied sonorously.
At this time, the army was ready to prepare and had to ......
