At present, the current citizens of the Ming Dynasty come from all over the world, and the most are Chinese workers from Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangzhou, and there are also some northern men such as Geng Gongbu.

In addition, there are the Yin people of the original cloud and mist, the raven, and a small number of He people.

And the seven hundred Sioux mercenaries abducted by Yin Weasel arrived in Daming on the third day of the Lunar New Year.

They were supposed to arrive early.

However, out of an abundance of caution, the mercenaries from a dozen or so small tribes did not agree to return by boat.

This kind of thing is not only Chinese insiders, but also Japanese insiders, Europeans insiders, and Yin people are also insiders.

Therefore, the Yin people of these small tribes are very cautious.

Their leader personally brought back to the headquarters the advance payments for the first quarter, such as cloth, grain, and silver dollars, with a part of his men.

The other part gathered together and rode horses to detour by land to the "Fog Raven Tribe".

Yin Weasel also ordered his subordinates to drive the Dingyuan back first, and he himself took a small number of guards to guide the mercenaries.

Although there are three densely populated areas in the greater Seattle area today, Seattle, Xinjin and Fengdu, in reality, it is still quite empty and has a large number of uninhabited areas.

The mercenaries successfully passed through the area controlled by the white colonists, and were later discovered by Mo Bai's subordinates, who were allowed to negotiate and be released.

Even with the previous foreshadowing, when these Yin mercenaries saw the majestic city of Fengdu, they still wanted to turn their horses and flee in horror.

In their opinion, this is definitely a big white city, and the damned Raven Tribe betrayed the Sioux Council!

Fortunately, the misunderstanding was finally resolved.

The Ming Army, which was conducting the first infantry and tan cooperative combat training after the year, calmed down Yin Ren with the muzzles of black holes and rows of steel behemoths.

Subsequently, these young Yin people were confiscated of weapons and horses, and sent to concentration camps for a week of rapid literacy eradication by Yin Weasel's Jinyi Weinan Zhenfu Division.

This kind of literacy eradication is not to let them learn to speak Chinese and write Chinese characters, but to instill in them the progressive ideas of Han and Yin, loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, and common prosperity hand in hand.

When the literacy eradication is completed and the political trial is underway, they will be issued weapons and formed into a mercenary corps, which will be stationed in the suburbs of Fengdu as a mobile force.

Mercenaries are not citizens of the Ming Dynasty and do not enjoy the rights of citizens of the Ming Dynasty, and even entering Fengdu needs to be declared for approval.

This is naturally discriminatory treatment, or simply put, there is a certain discriminatory policy.

But they are not soldiers loyal to the Ming Dynasty, they are just mercenaries who buy their lives for money, and it is a matter of course to treat them differently.

Giving sticks to troublemakers and fruit to obedient people doesn't need to be sweet, as long as the sticks are ruthless enough, you can get the so-called "convert's fanaticism".

On the contrary, if you make a fuss and make fruits, you can only raise a bunch of uncles in the end, and you feel that you are superior people, and you should be good to him and owe them.

If you don't get it right in the end, these people will still feel that the Ming Dynasty has robbed them of their land and hindered the development of the Yin tribe, without the Ming Dynasty, they would have become the "Soviet Union" comparable to Britain and the United States!

This point is not unfounded, but Zhu Fugui has really seen it.

Therefore, in terms of the treatment given to mercenaries, although Zhu Fugui will not deduct his salary, he has no intention of taking the initiative to increase the weight.

How much was talked about with their leader before, that's how much.

Yin Weasel was not a mother-in-law in the first place, so the price he and the chieftains set at that time was $12 per quarter for each young man.

That's almost fifty dollars a year.

As long as you work for two years, you can buy your scalp, which is a lot of money in the western United States.

It is precisely such a high salary that attracts these young men to leave their parents and wives and go to the "Fog Raven Tribe" as mercenaries.

However, it can be imagined that in the future, when they find that the equipment is better than their own, the food is better than their own, but the mission is the same degree of danger, the Ming Army soldiers will have 12 US dollars a month, what kind of mood they will have.

But on the contrary, they were absolutely unwilling to accept the $48 a year and returned to their tribe to gnaw on the bark.

As for the robbery of the Ming Dynasty......

As long as they have a little brain, they won't move this thought.

So what will be the remaining options for these Yin mercenaries?

Naturally, he is desperately trying to make himself a noble "belt Mingning"!

And the channel for naturalization, Zhu Fugui did not hesitate to open it for them.

Do you want to become a noble Ming person who has no worries about food and clothing, meat at meals, gorgeous clothes?

Go for the hard work!

Go and try to kill the enemy!

As long as you prove your value and prove your loyalty, you will get an incomparably precious Daming green card and become an incomparably noble Gaoyin!

……

For these arrangements, in fact, there are different voices within the imperial court.

The dissent did not come from Aunt Niu, Yin Weasel and other Yin people, the so-called "post-party".

In fact, according to the "car effect", many people of Daming nationality do not want Daming to let go of the naturalization policy and resolutely support the decision of Long Live Lord.

Therefore, the different voices are actually Han officers from the Ministry of War.

Because Zhu Fugui had already asked the military department to draw up a battle plan for Ping Ping Zhenlu, this made the military department feel a lot of pressure.

The so-called "Foreign Legion" is obviously inferior to the Ming Army, and Zhang Changgui hopes to directly break up these Yin people and join the army battalions, so that they can quickly form combat effectiveness.

However, Zhu Fugui finally rejected this proposal.

After all, with Zhu Fugui's experience, don't underestimate the heart of a temporary worker to become a regular civil servant, even if there is a little opportunity, these temporary workers will work hard.

Not to mention that what Daming gave was not a mirror and an ethereal promise, but a real positive, and the threshold was not ridiculously high, as long as they worked seriously and fought bravely and fearlessly, the party-state would not treat them badly! Principal Zhu will not treat them badly!

Comparatively speaking, the threshold for naturalization of those white slaves in the mining area is a nightmare difficulty.

Unless there is an invention at the level of the Daming Science and Technology Progress Award, or other special contributions, it is absolutely impossible to be naturalized.

Therefore, the fighting will of these Yin mercenaries must be good, as long as they strengthen their training, even if they are equipped with a little file, they must be able to compete with the Mi army.

……

On the sixth day of the first month of the second year of Dewu, February 29, 1864 in the Western calendar.

The mercenary regiment also carried out literacy and ideological education in concentration camps on the outskirts, and the headquarters of the Ming Royal Navy was already crowded.

According to custom, the naval headquarters of the Ming Dynasty is also on one island, that is, Pranbridge Island, which is located just one kilometer outside the port of Xinjin.

Of course, now the island has been named "New Caofeidian".

Because of this name, Zhu Fugui was also interrogated by Yin Susu for a long time.

On the new Caofeidian Island, the yamen of the naval headquarters is just a frame, but the large courtyard surrounded by concrete walls is crowded with people.

Judging from the clothing, they have both officers and soldiers of the naval division, officers and soldiers of the army, and even industrial workers.

The only thing they have in common is that they are extremely young men.

Judging from their immature faces, many of them are not adults, and some are even only thirteen or fourteen years old, which belongs to the youngest group of Chinese workers.

They are all first-generation candidates for the Imperial Navy and Air Forces, carefully selected by various departments.

With a rush of bells, the teenagers from the disciplined forces quickly and spontaneously formed a squad platoon column.

Zhu Fugui wore a white marshal's uniform on the stage, and the vermilion cloak behind him hunted, and the word "justice" could be vaguely seen.

"Four hundred and fifty years ago, Zheng He led a giant ship to the Western Ocean seven times, and my reputation was widespread!"

"Three hundred and fifty years ago, Zheng He's chart was burned, and I lost the blue ocean!"

"And today, I, Daming, not only want to return to the blue ocean and regain all that I have lost, but also control the sky above the blue ocean, so that the glory of my Daming is everywhere!"

……

Zhu Fugui praised the great achievements of the Three Treasure Eunuchs in the West on the high platform, as if the main purpose of that fleet was not to capture his own Yunwen ancestor.

Zhu Fugui's powerful voice came into the ears of each candidate through the loudspeaker, which was undoubtedly comparable to the voice of the jade crane, making these young people pay great attention to the next test.

The army soldiers, who had little interest in transferring to the navy, also cheered up 120,000 points.

Didn't you say it?

"Thousands of miles of sea frontier is the gateway of the Ming Dynasty, thousands of miles of blue waves are the blood of the Ming Dynasty, and the Taiping Ocean is the inner sea of the Ming Dynasty!"

It seems that there is a lot to be done when that "naval aviation" is also promising!

Although I didn't know what an aviation unit was or what kind of aviation law it was, there was a sense of anticipation in the solemn ranks for a while.
