Chapter 1458 The Great Migration

After dinner, Shen's uncle and nephew continued to talk by candlelight at night, discussing the arrangements for immigration and relocation. The more than 10,000 people on the island said it was not much, but if they wanted to move across the sea to settle in Liaodong, there were still many jars and jars that needed to be taken away.

There are quite a few, and not all of them can be moved in a few days. Who should be sent to Liaodong to set up the front station, and who should stay in Pidao to finish. How to coordinate the shipping schedule and immigration batches with Haihan? Haihan needs to provide information during the process.

Regarding material support, it is necessary to draw up the details and regulations in advance and communicate with Haihan well.

Shen Zhixiang was afraid that things might change, so he did not dare to delay in Pidao any longer, so he set off back to Liaodong early the next morning. Shen Shikui sent him to the dock, and before leaving, he specifically told him: "After you go back, you can find out what the Haihan people say.

Let’s see if we can send some of the Shen clan members to settle in the south. It would be best to go to Sanya. I heard that the Haihan people like to recruit young talents with Ming Dynasty background to study in government-run academies in Sanya. See if you can go here.

Way to go, pick a few smart kids from the clan and send them over."

Shen Zhixiang said: "What does uncle mean... to make Haihan feel at ease?"

Shen Shikui nodded and said: "The Haihan people know that our Shen family is rooted in Liaodong. If we don't take the initiative to send some of our descendants to the south, how can we reassure them?"

Shen Zhixiang pondered for a moment, then nodded solemnly, acknowledging the matter. Although he wholeheartedly wanted to join Haihan, it was related to the future of the Shen family, so he had to handle it with caution. In fact, Shen Shikui had mentioned this a long time ago.

, it’s just that Dongjiang Town has never found the right time to propose it to Haihan, and if the cooperative relationship between the two parties wants to go further, then this should be an unavoidable hurdle. Send several younger members of the clan to serve as hostages in the south.

, in fact, the symbolic meaning is far greater than the actual effect, but both sides understand that this is a ceremony that can be recognized by each other, as long as the meaning is fulfilled. Shen Zhixiang believes that Haihan will not refuse Dongjiang Town’s initiative to make such a request, and at the moment only

Just think about your wording.

In early April, Pidao's migration to the Haihan-occupied area in the southern part of the Liaodong Peninsula finally kicked off. Although the total number of migrants is probably less than 20,000, it is already the largest in Northeast Asia in the past two or three years.

The population at sea has migrated. In addition to the more than 20 sailboats provided by the Haihan military, the ships participating in this transportation mission are also dozens of large and small sailboats owned by Dongjiang Town.

Many warships also temporarily acted as transport ships.

Although the General Military Office has informed the people of the plan to move back to Liaodong, many people still have doubts about whether their life will be stable after returning to Liaodong. They are not worried about whether Haihan will keep his promise and give him a place.

To accommodate themselves and their families, they were afraid that the Hou Jin Army, which was said to have been beaten back to Jinzhou City and could not leave the city, would launch a counterattack again. Even with the achievements of the Haihan Army, many people still insisted that the Hou Jin Iron Cavalry was unstoppable.

The reason why Haihan lost to Haihan before was because its troops were not strong enough to support a battle of this scale. Once they recover from the defeat, the opponent can gather tens of thousands of troops to counterattack. By then, will Haihan be able to stop the Houjin Army?

But it’s hard to say.

Although returning to live in Liaodong is what these people have always looked forward to, compared to Liaodong where the situation is not stable, the barren Pidao is safer. At least Hou Jin has not yet mobilized troops to attack Pidao. It's just that they

I don’t know that the appearance of the Haihan people has changed the original historical process. Otherwise, Jin would have launched an army to attack North Korea later this year and easily wiped out the Pidao Ming army, which had little fighting capacity. Regardless of whether they were willing to move at this time.

When I returned to Liaodong, I actually received great favor from Haihan.

When Dongjiang Town withdrew from Liaodong to Pidao, the cross-sea transportation lasted for several months. During this period, the Changshan Islands were also used as a transfer station, and tens of thousands of Han people were rescued from Liaodong before Hou Jin did.

After these people left their hometowns, many of them died on the islands in the Yellow Sea due to food problems. Those who could survive until Haihan appeared were considered lucky, because after Haihan connected with Dongjiang Town, he took the initiative to

A plan was proposed to exchange aid for immigrants, which solved the food supply problem for Dongjiang Town. A large number of people who could only wait to die on Pi Island were also organized and Haihan transported them to the controlled areas in the south for resettlement.

In the past year or so, Haihan has received more than 20,000 immigrants from Dongjiang Town, and Dongjiang Town, which was on the verge of collapse, has come back to life and made a comeback with the assistance provided by Haihan. Although there is a bit of fake power, but

Finally, some land was snatched back from Liaodong and the gold thieves were driven north.

Shen Shikui clasped his hands behind his back and watched the people on the dock carrying large and small bags to board the ship. He was filled with emotion. He knew that after moving back to Liaodong, Dongjiang Town would most likely enter a state of existence in name only. Haihan would not sit idly by and watch.

The existence of the Dongjiang General Military Mansion will definitely try to eclipse the existing organization. His official position as the Dongjiang General Soldier may soon become a vacant position, but Shen Shikui is not a person who is greedy for power. He believes that even if he loses his power as a result,

Power is better than watching Dongjiang Town be destroyed in your own hands.

As for how the Haihan people will gradually split up the establishment of Dongjiang Town in the future, although Shen Shikui has no clear inference, he knows that this will be an inevitable trend. For these people who are unable to protect themselves, perhaps taking refuge in Haihan is the best solution at the moment.

Wise choice. After all, neither the Ming Dynasty nor North Korea can provide survival materials and military assistance to Dongjiang Town like Haihan. Holding on to this thigh and fighting for a chance to survive is at least better than shrinking on the island.

It's better to wait to die.

The first batch of Pi Dao people to board the ship to Lushun included more than 2,400 people, most of whom were young and strong men. The main task of these people after going there was to build camps and residences for those who came after them as soon as possible, so they

In addition to clothes and other personal belongings, Shen Shikui carried most of the tools such as hammers, axes, chisels, and saws, almost every person had one, in order to avoid being unable to construct when he arrived at the local area. For this reason, Shen Shikui gathered all the craftsmen on the island who knew civil engineering, and then

The first batch of immigrants were sent to Lushun together.

After sailing at sea for two days, the fleet successfully arrived at Port Arthur. Many of the immigrants could not hide the excitement on their faces the moment they set foot on land. After all, returning to their homeland was a big deal for these people who had fled.

, can be regarded as the most important thing in life after survival.

Sha Xi, the chief executive of Lushun, also came to the port in person to supervise the immigration reception process. According to Haihan's arrangement, these immigrants would only stay briefly at the port. After eating a meal prepared by Haihan, they would immediately hit the road to their destination.

Destination. This is an arrangement made by Sha Xi after discussing with Qian Tiandun and others. In his opinion, the sooner the people of Dongjiang Town can settle down, the sooner they can allocate manpower to Lushun to complete the many developments he planned.

project.

Sha Xi was in charge of immigration affairs when he was in the south, and he was well aware of the uneasiness of the people who originally belonged to the Ming Dynasty when they entered the Haihan area. In addition, the status of the immigrants transported from Pi Island this time was relatively special, and almost all of them were

Because of the military dependents in Dongjiang Town, Sha Xi canceled the identity registration procedures when accepting immigrants at general ports, and directly counted the number of people reported by Dongjiang Town. After settling down in the future, he would slowly check it with the roster provided by Dongjiang Town.

Reducing the link of registering identity can also slightly alleviate the uneasiness of these Dongjiang Town military families. Most of them are not fully mentally prepared for the possibility of changing their nationality, and they are not as ordinary as others.

The immigrant's sense of urgency in actively requesting naturalization in exchange for better benefits. For them, as long as the establishment of Dongjiang Town is still there, then they are still the people of the Ming Dynasty, they are just temporarily living under the fence due to the situation. And for Hai

For the new rulers of the Han Dynasty, it may take some time for them to change their original mentality and adapt to the new social system in the new environment.

Chen Yixin was personally responsible for the maintenance of security at the port, and had specially transferred a group of people from the front line for this purpose. He was not worried about the spies of Houjin among these new immigrants, but he just wanted to guard against anyone challenging Haihan's authority in the local area.

And such a situation is indeed inevitable. Soon, a few men who were not so clear-headed actually asked Haihan to provide wine and meat. After their request was rejected, they actually threw away the dry food they had just distributed and angrily

Officials from Haihan were asked to come forward and argue. Naturally, Sha Xi would not overstep his authority to handle such a security incident, so he immediately sent someone to notify Chen Yixin to come and handle it.

When Chen Yixin rushed to the scene, officers from Dongjiang Town had already come to deal with the matter. However, the guys who made the trouble were obviously used to being naughty and did not take the officer's warning seriously, and still refused to do so.

Give up.

Chen Yixin sneered secretly after seeing this, stepped forward to signal the officers to retreat, and then ordered: "Arrest these people, and give each of them ten lashes!"

The leader defended himself: "We are from Dongjiang Town, why do you, Haihan, want to punish us?"

Chen Yixin didn't bother to argue with him at all, and just gave another order: "Whoever disobeys orders will receive thirty lashes!"

Haihan soldiers stepped forward and picked up the troublemakers by their necks like chickens. Then they pushed them to the ground, took off their shirts, and whipped them severely in front of more than two thousand immigrants.

After being whipped, these people were obviously much more honest and did not dare to yell or curse anymore. They probably realized that Dongjiang Town did not have the final say in this place. Even if they were not bad at personal martial arts, they wanted to be at sea.

They are far from qualified to show off their aggressiveness in front of the Han people.

Chen Yixin asked someone to bring a tin trumpet, and then he raised the trumpet and said loudly to the frightened new immigrants: "This is Liaodong, but it is not the Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty, but the Liaodong of Haihan. The laws enforced here are also the same." The current regulations of Haihan shall prevail, so put away all your previous behavior! Whoever disobeys the arrangements and yells at the staff, these people who just got whipped are the best lesson! I don’t want to be here well. If you did, you can go back to Pidao immediately and see what Mr. Shen will say."

The immigrants suddenly fell silent. Although they also knew that this place was occupied by Haihan, they did not expect that the other party would change the ownership of the place to Haihan's name so straightforwardly. The real owner of Ming Dynasty seemed to be a thing of the past. It was only then that they truly realized that the land they were stepping on was no longer the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the Haihan people around them did not seem to respect the people of the Ming Dynasty in particular. As for returning to Pi Island, even the few who had just been whipped I personally would not be happy to go back. Due to the saline-alkali land, Napi Island is basically unable to produce food. How can it be compared with the rich land of Liaodong.

Chen Yixin saw that his speech seemed to have a deterrent effect, so he left with the others and handed the scene over to Sha Xilai to deal with the aftermath.

Including the time for eating, the immigrants only stayed at the port for more than an hour after landing, and then they began to march northwestward one after another under the leadership. They did not even enter Lushun Fort, and came directly from the fields a hundred meters away. Walk through.

The immigrants looked at the farmland that has started to be cultivated here with great interest, which is a sight that is not seen on Phi Island. After thinking about it, they might be able to get the farmland. Many people have already begun to think about it after settling down. Is there still time to plant a wave of spring wheat?

In fact, due to the serious shortage of labor, the spring plowing advocated by Sha Xi near Lushun was only a big thunder and a small rain, and did not really form a large scale. It only cultivated two to three hundred acres of land, which was at best a demonstration field for Sha Xi. The level of agricultural development was not even close to that of agricultural development. The more this happened, the more confused he became about the new immigrants who had just arrived in Lushun. If he could have two thousand more people available, what would happen to Lushun's infrastructure? Almost all problems encountered in agricultural development can be easily solved.

Of course, this situation only exists in imagination. Even if the immigrants have to mobilize the labor force after they settle down, it is by no means a situation where they can live alone. The military will definitely take action, and even if he wants to snatch human resources He will definitely not be able to rob the military. If a quarter of the two thousand people can be allocated to him in the end, it will be a situation that will make him wake up laughing.

However, the people of Dongjiang Town did not know that everyone inside Haihan was actually spying on their team. They just followed Haihan's arrangements and marched all the way to their destination. Finally, in the afternoon of the same day, they arrived at the place named "Dongjiang Camp" by Haihan. "Place. This riverside plain is flat and open, and there is a water vein flowing into the sea from nearby. It is indeed very suitable for setting up camps or agricultural farming. However, the top priority is to allow the immigrants who arrive here to settle down as soon as possible.
