After a two-day stay in Mogadishu, the cruiser Naniwa set sail again and returned to Mozambique, passing through the island of Ibo, the Mozambique Island Naval Base, and finally returning to Seoul.

Today

Since the mid-1886 comprehensive development of Mozambique, has entered its third year, it is the main battlefield of African colonial development, but also the Red Fort key development of overseas territory, in more than one million square kilometers (including the Lake Malawi area) of the vast and rich land, is setting off waves of Chinese immigration boom.

Over the past three years, more than one million Chinese immigrants have arrived in this hot land of Africa through various means, and under the leadership of experienced immigration development officials, 36 new towns have rapidly sprung up in East Africa, like 36 dazzling stars, lighting up the vast Mozambique region.

Mr. Wu Mozhou, the general manager of Africa, has always been in charge of the development of a grand pattern, extraordinary strokes, especially good at driving the regional economy with leading projects, which has been verified by practice and proved to be very good.

follow the instructions of the Earl;

Of the 36 towns, 12 are located in the Lake Malawi region in the north, where 66% of the million Chinese immigrants are concentrated, making them larger and more developed.

The first phase of the Malawi Railway from Qiqu Town to the Lake District was successfully completed at the end of 1888 as planned, completely breaking through the communication bottleneck between the Malawi Lake District and the central and southern regions of Mozambique.

Imported machinery, small ships, cattle, stallions, piglets arrived by rail, and with it trains and trains of migrants, swept through the fields of the Lake Malawi region like a violent wind, dotted with private plantations and pastures.

More than eighty percent of the Chinese immigrants are engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry, and after acquiring their own private land, they have shown amazing entrepreneurial passion, and the scale of agricultural and animal husbandry production in Mozambique has expanded at an astonishing rate, showing a steep curve straight up.

By the end of 1888, the output of rice, wheat, and soybeans had skyrocketed by 22 times, 7.7 times, and 172 times respectively compared with the middle of 1886.

The development of animal husbandry has also achieved gratifying results, with the number of cattle growing to 170,000, more than 3,000 mules and horses, the number of fat pigs growing to nearly 400,000, and almost every household raising chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry, providing sufficient supply of poultry meat and eggs for the local market to meet the needs of self-sufficiency.

By the end of 1888, the region's food supply was fully sufficient for its own needs, and it could be exported in small quantities to neighboring South Africa, realizing a magnificent transformation of agricultural products from self-use to export.

After spending the first three years of its business and ensuring the supply of food and vegetables, Mozambique has a good capacity for its own development, and after the Red Fort has been cut off from the financial transfusion, it can still rely on local tax revenue and output to support its continued development, and the future is bright.

It is impossible not to marvel at the industrious Chinese immigrants, who have burst out with great entrepreneurial enthusiasm in the fertile soil of Mozambique, Africa.

When these Chinese immigrants came to the Lake Malawi area, they saw that this fertile land was overgrown with half-human tall weeds, the sky was high and the clouds were low, the vast lake was as far as the eye could see, and thousands of large herds of wildebeest, African gazelles, zebras, giraffes, African lions and wild dogs lived leisurely under the blue sky and white clouds, the shock was truly incomparable.

With such a nice land and such a pleasant climate, it's a shame not to grow food!

The development began with large-scale hunting, African lions, wild dogs, foxes and other carnivores were the first to suffer, with the deepening of the settlement of immigrants, these carnivores in the Malawian savannah suffered a catastrophe, turned into fur, lion bones, into the delicious meat in the pot of Chinese immigrants in the sound of gunfire.

Then the unfortunate army of wildebeest, bison, these wild animals were hunted by a planned organization, while providing abundant meat for the early settlers, accumulated tens of thousands of furs, wildebeest skins can be used to make tents, better quality bison skins are very versatile, making leather belts, leather shoes, leather hats, saddles and leather rigging and so on.

Whether they are plantations or private ranches, these wild animals must be removed because they eat the tender pastures, destroy crops, damage irrigation facilities, endanger human safety and cause serious damage to the advancement of reclamation.

People and wild animals can only choose one or the other.

Soon, countless villages were established, and the area near the lake was reclaimed for farmland, and away from the lake area was developed into pasture, and everything was carried out in an orderly manner according to the plan.

All 12 towns are located on the lakeside, of which 9 towns are set up in the more expansive Huxi District, and 3 towns are set up in the geographically long and narrow Hudong District, all of which are built along the planned Malawi Ring Lake Railway, focusing on agriculture, animal husbandry and fishery, and appropriately developing the grain processing industry.

With the opening of the trains, a large number of small iron-hulled boats entered the lake area, and water docks were opened in towns and cities along the lake, and water transportation became the main mode of transportation between regions, and with it, a booming fishing industry.

The abundance and abundance of fish in the Lake Malawi region has led to the first pot of gold from many immigrants who bought boats to fish.

Due to the smooth progress of resettlement and reclamation in the Lake Malawi area, nearly 700,000 Chinese immigrants have taken root in this fertile land, and the second phase of the Malawi railway plan has also been approved by the Red Fort.

Malawi's railway plan is divided into three phases;

The first phase is expected to invest about 115,000 pounds to build a single-track railway from Qiqu Town to Lake Malawi in more than a year, with a total length of 92.6 kilometers, to realize the opening of railway transportation between the Lake Malawi area and the lower reaches of the Shire River, which is of great significance for promoting the economic development of the Lake Malawi area.

The project will use qualified rails produced by the Qiqu Town Iron and Steel Works, and the first phase of the construction of the Malawi Railway will be launched in October 1887 and completed by the end of 1888.

The second phase of the plan is to extend the plain along the west bank of the lake area to the north after the completion of the first phase of the railway project, and finally reach Weiyuan Fort at the northernmost junction.

The planned construction of a single-track railway with a total length of 682.2 kilometers and an estimated total investment of 725,000 pounds will be built, with 17 stations along the way, connecting all the nearby emerging farming and pastoral towns.

Because it is a plain to promote the construction of the railway, relatively speaking, the construction difficulty is relatively low, mainly along the railway foundation, bridges and culverts and other facilities, supporting the construction of two cement plants, the construction period is expected to be three and a half years, in the case of more black coolies, it is possible to complete ahead of schedule.

For the next three phases, the plan is to build a complete network around Lake Malawi, which has already been formulated, but it is too early to talk about it.

The 12 new farming towns along the Lake Malawi Rim are generally much larger than the rest of Mozambique due to the skewed policy priorities, ranging from 80,000 to 30,000 to 350,000 (not the urban population, but the total population of the jurisdiction).

In other parts of Mozambique, the total population of 30,000 is considered a large town, and many small towns have only two or three thousand people, and there is still a long way to go.

In the entire colony of Mozambique

The largest city is Seoul, with a population of more than 170,000 people, with gold mining and cashew nuts as its characteristic industries, bringing together commerce, culture, education and administrative functions, and the largest military horse farm in Mozambique is also located here, which has rapidly developed into the center of the region.

The second largest town is the emerging industrial town of Qiqu Town, relying on the abundant iron ore coal mine and aluminum ore resources in the quiet mountainous area, and as the only industrial town in the entire Mozambique region, occupying the hub position of the transportation and transfer of the Lake Malawi and the lower reaches of the Shire River, the momentum of Qiqu Town's development is very rapid, and the total population has exceeded 150,000 people.

Qiqu Town has initially established a complete industrial system, steel mills, cement factories, thermal power plants, flour mills, tanneries, food factories, daily necessities factories, inland shipyards and a series of factories have been established one after another, and it has also become a hot spot for investment by local Australian businessmen, and it is becoming more and more hot.

According to the current rapid development momentum, in less than two years, Chagqu Town will surpass Seoul to become the largest town.

The third largest town is Malawi Town, the first town located at the southern end of the Lake Malawi region, which has the potential to become the real largest city in the whole of Mozambique.

That's because, with the general manager starting this year to promote cotton farming, a large area of arable land in the Lake Malawi region has been planted with cotton, or a bumper harvest will be ushered in in a few months.

On the outskirts of Malawi Town

A large number of factories are erected, and there are more factories under construction, which is the cotton textile center invested by the Australian Wool Mill, and a large number of cotton spinning equipment is transported in by train, and has entered the plant for commissioning.

The coal-fired power plant has already begun to generate electricity, lighting up the lakeside town, the first town in the entire Lake Malawi region to have access to electricity, and Chinese businessmen with a keen sense of smell have flocked to set up shops and factories here, making the market more prosperous.

Everyone is not stupid, for example, the textile center town invested by the Australian woolen factory, the development of one is more dazzling than the other, Suzaku City, Songjiang City, Beilun City, Qingdao-City, the name of these cities is like thunder, all of them are an important town in Australia.

The fact that Malawi City is building a cotton mill rather than a wool mill is clearer...... That is, the number of workers required is much larger, and one factory is enough to support a city.

Since a cotton mill has been built, should the weaving mill be built? Should the printing and dyeing factory be built? Should the garment industry develop?

It's exciting to think about, of all the Mozambican towns, bright Chinese businessmen are keenly aware that Malawi is the most promising town.

Among the 12 towns in the Lake Malawi District, which is the focus of immigration and colonization, Malawi Town ranks first with a population of 97,000 people, and this number is constantly being refreshed, and it is very promising to become the economic leader of the region, a light industrial town that exudes dazzling light, and the future will be infinitely bright.
