Chapter 145 Double Eleven Development
Eunuch Wei believes that the "change land into Han" policy on Taiwan's island will definitely achieve satisfactory results, because although the population of indigenous people in Taiwan is larger than that of the Han people, the total number is limited. Based on the current known information, the total number of indigenous people in Taiwan is about 300,000 to 500,000.
Indigenous peoples have a significantly different appearance from the Han people. They have light brown skin, long and straight hair, fewer hairs, and particularly round heads. If we use the theory of race division in later generations, these indigenous people should be called Malay races, which are typical non-Chinese races.
However, since my father-in-law decided to change the land to Han, he naturally would not summarize the indigenous people of Taiwan into foreigners. He only recorded a few words in his private diary. In any other public occasion, my father-in-law always emphasized that the indigenous people of Taiwan Island are branches of the Han people.
After the promulgation of the policy of "changing land into Han", the indigenous people in the coastal areas, after weighing the pros and cons, came into contact with the Ming army under the leadership of their respective leaders. Within half a month, nearly 40,000 indigenous peoples from thirteen tribes reported the tribal population to the Ming army and received their Han identity certificates.
These new Han people formed 18 townships, and together with 36 townships composed of Han people who had originally moved islands, a total of 54 townships were established. These 54 townships were affiliated to Taipei, seven thousand households in Taichung, with a total population of more than 132,500.
On November 9, Eunuch Wei went to Yunlin Qianhu House and cordially met with local Han people and representatives of the new Han people.
Eunuch Wei pointed out that the Han people in mainland China drove away the Mongolian Tartars under the leadership of the great Emperor Taizu and established the Ming Empire. For more than two hundred years, the Ming Dynasty has never forgotten its compatriots in Taiwan, but due to historical reasons, the governance of Taiwan has not been implemented. However, for more than two hundred years, the Ming court has been very concerned about its compatriots in Taiwan. Since the emperor of this dynasty ascended the throne, Fujian officers and soldiers have crossed the sea to Taiwan to help Taiwan compatriots eliminate Japanese pirates and Western barbarians. Both sides have jointly safeguarded Taiwan's security and formed deep friendships. This is unquestionable.
"We came to Taiwan by the emperor's order to completely resolve the Taiwan issue. We believe that under the leadership of His Majesty the Emperor, our imperial army and Taiwanese compatriots will definitely take a correct path to solve the Taiwan issue with a distinctive solution to the Taiwan issue and establish our Ming Dynasty's governance of Taiwan."
Eunuch Wei emphasized that the indigenous people of Taiwan are Han branches, so the Ming Dynasty, including himself, did not discriminate against the indigenous compatriots in Taiwan. He hoped that the vast majority of indigenous compatriots in Taiwan could actively and proactively join the embrace of the motherland of the Ming Dynasty. Only in this way can the compatriots in Taiwan not be bullied by Japanese pirates and the red-haired ghosts of the Western Barbarians.
“Equality, mutual assistance, unity, and friendship are our expectations and requirements for you.”
Eunuch Wei took a self-written Chinese cigarette speech to the Han people and the new Han people representatives, saying that Taiwan’s formal inclusion in the Ming Dynasty will not only provide security for Taiwanese compatriots, but also allow them to obtain a rebirth of civilization.
The father-in-law said that the Ming Dynasty Imperial Army will unconditionally help Taiwanese compatriots accelerate their development, and at the same time help Taiwanese compatriots in trade, so that Taiwanese compatriots can truly use the resources of the treasure island to improve their living standards, and regional economic and social development will achieve unprecedented progress in history.
After the reception event, Eunuch Wei, at the strong request of the representatives of the new Han people, drove his sedan chair to the village where the new Han people lived for inspection.
During the inspection, Eunuch Wei gave clear instructions to the relevant officials accompanying him on how to further improve the farming level and how to help the new Han people improve their production, and asked Fujian and Zhejiang provinces to increase supplies to Taiwan and turn Taiwan into a treasure island with thousands of miles of fertile land.
Finally, Eunuch Wei pointed out that the current demand for sugar in maritime trade is very huge, so rural areas in various regions should seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the imperial court to vigorously carry out maritime trade and vigorously develop the sugarcane planting industry. In addition, fruits on Taiwan Island are also good things. These things grow in the deep mountains and are inevitably ruined. You might as well organize manpower to pick and sell them to domestic places such as Nandu, Jiangnan and other places.
"As long as you produce it, our family will buy it even if they sell it!"
Eunuch Wei's "bottom support" made a group of new Han people smile, saying that the court's new policies were really the savior of the Taiwanese people.
"The court cares about you, and our family cares about you too. The Ming Dynasty Imperial Army is the army of the court and the army of all Han people in the world! As long as the imperial army is there, you can produce and plant them with peace of mind and live your own life. But there are still bad people on this island."
Eunuch Wei came to the island recently and many savage tribes were unwilling to contact the Imperial Army. They did their own thing. After the announcement of the Imperial Army, they still committed crimes against the wind and robbed the Han people's labor results and expressed their extreme dissatisfaction, believing that these savages were the culprits of destruction of Taiwan's stability.
The representatives of the new Han people hurriedly told Eunuch Wei that they were different from those savages. They welcomed the Imperial Army from the bottom of their hearts and were willing to become a member of the great Han people.
"It's great. After the Imperial Army came to Taiwan, have you ever violated you? Never! But some tribes regard the Imperial Army's good looks towards you as weak and can be bullied, and they are determined to be unable to get along with the Imperial Army. For these people, what should we do?"
The representatives of the new Han people expressed that the Imperial Army had the only way to crack down on Fang Xing against those stupid savages.
"Taiwan's stability and prosperity are not only the Imperial Army, but also the business of you all. Hello everyone, it's really good."
At the suggestion of Eunuch Wei, the representatives of the new Han people said that after returning to their respective villages, they would immediately set up a public security team. On the one hand, they were responsible for the public security in the countryside, and on the other hand, they assisted and cooperated with the Imperial Army in attacking the savage tribes and contributed to Taiwan's stability and prosperity.
Subsequently, the rural areas in various places soon established public security teams of varying numbers under the guidance of the Imperial Army. At the same time, the First Taiwan Security Brigade, which upheld the spirit of Eunuch Wei's guidance, also invested heavily in recruiting "righteous men" from various tribes on the island. Under the leadership of these righteous men, the First Brigade and the guard division began a combat operation called "Double Eleven Development".
The "Double Eleven Development" combat plan is planned to be launched at the same time at all the thousands of households in Taipei Guards, with the assistance of Han security teams in each township, and the number of people in the Taipei Guard area is large in the number of people, including the Bunon, Taroko, Sachilaya, Beinan, Zou people, Lukai, Paiwan, etc., and the stubborn tribes are launched to completely solve the disaster of the "savage" of the Taipei Guards.
"This offensive will surely end before the end of December. At that time, the officers and soldiers of our brigade will celebrate the New Year in Taipei!"
