Chapter 328 Civil Unrest in Guangzhou

Chen Yixin ordered these nail households to be tied up and thrown into the ship. He did not intend to sink them directly into the river. The executive committee had even taken North Vietnamese prisoners of war, so it would naturally not waste local human resources easily. According to the plan of the civil affairs department

It was arranged that anyone who refused to cooperate during the demolition and land acquisition process and affected the overall planning of the new city would be arrested and sent to overseas colonial sites. Therefore, these unlucky ghosts who were ignorant of current affairs had lost their last chance at this moment.

It is very likely that his destination is one of the three existing ports in North Vietnam. If he conscientiously serves as a labor force, he might be able to get a chance to become a naturalized citizen in a year or two.

This approach is naturally not a legal act. To rob a country's citizens is the same as fighting. However, given the special environment of Yazhou, no one will cause trouble for the crossing group. These people are in the eyes of Yazhou officials.

They were originally proletarians, and no one cared about their whereabouts. Even if someone did report the matter to the officials, the bureaucrats in Yazhou who had benefited would not care about such a matter.

When Chen Yixin got the mission, he had already learned from his superiors about the measures that could be taken for this operation, so he did not hesitate to handle it. After these people were brought on board, Chen Yixin immediately ordered the whole team to move to the next target.

March. As for the several dilapidated shacks here, migrant workers will naturally follow to demolish them, and the militia troops only need to be responsible for completing the violent part.

"We are a bit like the urban management fighting against the nail households!" Seeing these unlucky guys being thrown onto the boat by the militiamen like sacks, Li Dou's anger finally subsided a lot, and he started to attack the militiamen.

Rough behavior is a bit worrying.

"What do you want to say? Do you want to slowly reason with these people?" Chen Yixin turned to look at Li Dou, without even a trace of mercy in his eyes: "If you insist, then I can let them go, but the consequences will be

It’s your responsibility.”

"No, no, no, I didn't mean that." Li Dou shook his head repeatedly. The Ministry of Civil Affairs originally came up with the opinions on dealing with nail-biting households. The military only sent people to implement them. Li Dou would not take the blame.

"This is not the 21st century. There is no need to apply the moral standards of that era to the present. We chose to travel to this era just to be conquerors!" Chen Yixin's year in the military camp was not in vain.

Yes, he obviously has the murderous spirit of a soldier: "Whether it is a nail shop or someone else, a stumbling block is a stumbling block. There is actually no essential difference for us. Your cultural management system is responsible for identifying who is a stumbling block.

, our military is responsible for cleaning them up!"

"Simple and crude! But I like it!" Li Dou couldn't help but raised his thumb and praised: "Your thoughts have changed a lot this year! I remember what you said to me when I first met you.

Everyone must be reasonable. If you are reasonable, you can travel all over the world, but if you are unreasonable, you cannot move forward..."

"I still have the same view now." Chen Yixin adjusted the rifle strap to make it more comfortable for him to carry: "What is truth? The gun barrel is the truth! If talk is useful, then we soldiers must do it.

Well? From now on, to conquer the world, we still have to rely on the barrel of a gun!"

When he first entered the military and police department, Chen Yixin did still have some unrealistic fantasies. However, during the expedition to Annan, he actually went to the battlefield and experienced the cruelty of the war. Only then did Chen Yixin gradually understand the meaning of the army's existence and

It is not just about protecting the country. Every expansion of the territory of external forces is essentially completed by the army. Opening up territory and expanding territory will be the main task of Haihan's armed forces in the future. And the implementation of combat-type military tasks

, first of all, he must leave all kindness behind, including many of his previous moral standards. After witnessing the insignificance of human life on the battlefield, Chen Yixin can return to the base camp to perform small tasks such as cleaning up nail houses.

He said that he had no psychological pressure at all.

With the process of dealing with the first nailed household, the subsequent process seems to be much smoother. After Li Dou leads the way to the place, the militiamen will first give a shout-out. If they honestly admit that they have failed, they can immediately take their belongings with them.

If you want to move out, you can also choose to report to the immigration reception office in the inland port construction area. But if anyone tries to resist or resort to tricks, Chen Yixin will immediately order to be tied up and thrown on the ship. Li Dou has also changed from being the leader of the action to leading the way.

The party only needs to watch, and there is no need to take the lead in clearing the scene at the risk of being smashed on the head with a hoe.

The demolition operation, jointly carried out by the military and the civil affairs system, lasted for three days. In fact, starting from the second day, the action team discovered that some households who had received the news had fled their residences overnight, or had taken the initiative to go to the immigration reception.

Although these people have little cultural knowledge, it does not mean that they are ignorant of current affairs. The result of confronting the Haihan people has already come out. If they follow the unlucky people in front of them, they will be asking for death.

Of course, some people chose to flee to Yazhou to report to the government, but they did not know that the actions of the Haihan Militia had long been approved by the Yazhou government. It was basically impossible for the government to support them. If this matter happened

It is of no benefit to Yazhou officials at all, so even if there are complaints from the public, the officials will definitely try their best to calm the situation.

After the demolition operation is completed, the area of ​​more than ten miles from the inland port area all the way north to another intersection of the two rivers upstream has been basically cleared and can welcome the construction team. The entire

During the demolition process, a total of more than 20 people were arrested for refusing to cooperate. Their fate awaiting them was to be moved to three ports in North Vietnam for a period of one to three years of hard labor.

Chen Yixin, who commanded well and took effective measures in this operation, received an internal commendation from the Military Commission. Although he still failed to get a high-level military award, it is very rare for a junior in the army like Chen Yixin.

In order to celebrate this achievement, it is said that Chen Yixin even privately took Li Dou and several of his capable men to a newly opened Cantonese restaurant in the business district for a feast.

On May 7, Chen Yixin received the order from the Military Commission. Three days later, he led his troops from Victory Port and boarded a warship to station at the Dawanshan Island stronghold at the mouth of the Pearl River. Accompanying him were two ships of nearly 300 construction workers and

Lots of building materials.

For Chuanchuan Group, this is the first real military stronghold established by the military in the mainland. Therefore, the executive committee attaches great importance to it and specially convened several working meetings with the heads of various departments.

Assign relevant tasks.

Since the local area is close to the mainland and there are fresh water resources on the island, there is not a big problem in supply. The focus of the Executive Committee is still safety issues. Due to its own conditions and the local objective environment, it is unlikely that the military will be on the island.

There are too many troops deployed on the island, and there are even no surface armed ships permanently stationed on the island. Therefore, the existence of this stronghold carries a certain risk. The military generously allocated 10 to 12 troops stationed on the island.

Pound Shore Defense Artillery - This was originally allocated to the artillery used by the Tielugang defense fortifications, but the military leaders considered that the defense needs of Dawanshan Island were more urgent, and finally gave them priority. For this reason, the military also

Twenty gunners, who were in short supply, were also assigned to the troops stationed on the island. As for the difference between artillery and artillery, the full-time artillery force could only slowly train other militiamen locally.

In addition to the garrison, nearly half of the construction workers transported to the local area will be resettled on the island as immigrants, mainly to provide logistical and military services to the troops, and also to prepare for the commercial development of Wanshan Port. Perhaps

Taking into account the performance in the previous demolition operations, the civil affairs officer sent to Dawanshan Island by the civil affairs department this time turned out to be Li Dou, so the pair of friends were lucky enough to become partners again.

On May 11th, the fleet set off quietly from Victory Port. This operation did not have the same fanfare of farewell scenes as in the past. The executive committee did not want the plan to establish a stronghold on Dawanshan Island to spread too early.

Out of the army, only officers of Chen Yixin's level knew the details. Ordinary militiamen only knew that they would go to new overseas strongholds to garrison, but they knew nothing about the specific goals.

This time the fleet did not encounter bad weather conditions again, and arrived at Dawanshan Island smoothly. There were hundreds of laborers available, and the progress of building a simple dock was very fast. It arrived at the harbor in the morning and set off at around two o'clock in the afternoon.

The construction of the first trestle has been completed. The migrant workers assembled the brackets with logs and began to unload various materials loaded on the ship to the shore.

"The environment of this island is quite good. It's almost all woods and original ecology!" After landing, Li Dou, who had taken the time to walk around nearby, was full of praise for the island's environment: "Pure natural without pollution.

, it feels much quieter here than Victory Port!”

"Of course, this place has always been an uninhabited island before. Victory Port used to be a medium-sized port, but it just declined." This was the first time that Chen Yixin independently commanded such an overseas mission. He also looked very excited, pointing out

Looking at the harbor in front of him, he said: "From now on, I will really eat seafood until I vomit!"

In the afternoon of the same day, the ship carrying supplies south from Guangzhou also arrived at the harbor. Since it is closer to Guangzhou, some living supplies, especially the poultry and livestock that the Ministry of Agriculture plans to let the islanders breed here, are shipped from Guangzhou.

In addition, the Ministry of Agriculture also plans to cultivate some fields on the gentle slope at the southern end of the island and grow some vegetables and fruits to supplement the food needs of the island. For this errand, Mr. Yuan also sent his son Yuan Qiuye over to guide the migrant workers.

They built livestock breeding sheds.

Also coming with the fleet was Wu Zhuo from the communications department, who was responsible for setting up radio stations on the island. Wu Zhuo was also a practical person. He didn't take much rest after getting off the ship, so he took a few of his men to climb the mountain for testing.

The signal is gone.

That night, when Chen Yixin and Li Dou were counting supplies together, they were truly shocked by the generosity of the executive committee. In addition to the daily necessities for these hundreds of people, there were also small solar power generation equipment and simple water purification equipment on the supply list.

Devices, two hot water boilers, one large and one small, as well as more than 20 tons of anthracite coal produced in Heitu Port, etc., there were at least dozens of items in total, which made Chen Yixin's eyes widen.

"It's not easy for the Ministry of Civil Affairs!" Chen Yixin couldn't help but sigh when he saw so many supplies. To organize so many supplies, the logistics department needs to deal with more than one or two units, and such efficient organization and coordination

Ability that can only be achieved by traveling through the group.

"It's not bad, it's not as troublesome as the development of Black Earth Port and Tieliang Port." Li Dou responded proudly: "This is the superiority of the system!"

After completing the unloading of the cargo the next day, the two cargo ships left Wanshan Port. However, they did not return to Victory Port, but continued northward into the Pearl River Estuary to ship goods to Guangzhou.

According to the plan of the Ministry of Construction, the development process of Dawanshan Island is carried out in three phases. The first phase is the construction of temporary settlements and basic defenses. The second phase is the continuation and strengthening of the first phase project. The third phase

It is the construction of commercial facilities. The first phase of the project is expected to last from 15 to 25 days. The reason for such a large range is also considering that possible weather changes during this season will cause certain delays in outdoor construction.

In addition to the port terminals and temporary barracks for troops and civilians stationed on the island, the first thing to be built was the duty post located on the top of the mountain. This post was a set of simple flat-roofed houses directly removed from Fort Victory. Chen Yixin transferred two

The soldiers of the platoon spent half a day transporting the parts from the harbor to Dawanding, the commanding height of the island at an altitude of just over 400 meters, and then assembled the set of prefabricated houses in the open space on the top of the mountain. From this position, even without borrowing a telescope,

When the weather is fine, it is easy to observe the situation within a dozen nautical miles. The outline of Lantau Island, which is 20 nautical miles away from Dawanshan Island and is located in the northeast, can also be seen from the top of Dawanshan Island.

After this post is put into use, it can be said that basically half of the entire Pearl River Estuary channel is under the surveillance of this observation post. The surveillance information from the post can be immediately reached through the walkie-talkie to the command center at the foot of the mountain, and then the command center

The center's radio station sends the information to Guangzhou or Shengli Port.

What currently makes the troops stationed on the island most uneasy is Dangan Island, which is located 30 nautical miles east of Dawanshan Island. According to information obtained by the Garrison Office in Guangdong, there is a small group of pirates on this island, numbering two to three hundred people.

This is also the closest threatening force to Dawanshan Island. And this pirate can survive under the noses of the Ming Navy stationed in Hong Kong and the nearby "Eighteen Zhi". It must have its own special survival skills, Chen Yixin

He did not dare to be careless about this, and immediately ordered the sentry on the top of the mountain to strengthen surveillance of the eastern sea area.

However, the latest news the military received after that did not come from the pirates on Dangan Island, but from a long message sent back from Guangzhou by the General Office of the People's Republic of China in Guangzhou.

It is not the Guangdong Office that is in trouble, but "Fu Ruifeng". To be precise, it is the Li family's ancestors who have problems. The Li family is based in Panyu, which is not far from Guangzhou. The local Lijiazhuang

More than 70% of the population is of Li descent, and this is also the main source of soldiers for the Li family militia.

In addition to the large business name "Fu Ruifeng", the Li family also owns 10,000 acres of cultivated land in Panyu and is one of the largest landowners in the area. Apart from some smuggling business, the Li family actually has no local business.

It's such a bad deed, but after all, wealth is hated by people, and there are still a lot of people who are dissatisfied with it.

In the sixth year of Tianqi, that is, 1626, Zhaoqing Prefecture suffered from a severe drought, while Guangzhou Prefecture suffered from severe drought and floods. Dongguan, Panyu and Xinhui counties were all affected by famine. The same situation was found in Shaozhou Prefecture.

Yingde County in Yingde County and Changle County in Huizhou Prefecture, the number of people affected by the disaster reached tens of thousands. Due to natural disasters and the slow and ineffective relief measures of local governments, natural disasters began to turn into man-made disasters in the second year. In August 1627, Guangzhou

A large number of mountain bandits evolved from the victims of the disaster appeared in Zengcheng, Conghua and other places of the prefecture, with thousands of people in each group. These bandits did not attack towns, but gathered in groups to rob the countryside, resulting in large-scale refugees.

In order to survive, he had to join the bandits.

What makes misfortune never come singly is that in the past two years, the "Eighteen Zhi" frequently invaded the coasts of Huizhou Prefecture and Chaozhou Prefecture, plundering local businessmen and people, further exacerbating social chaos.

By the beginning of this year, spring drought once again occurred in Xinhui County of Guangzhou Prefecture, Guishan County of Huizhou Prefecture, and Gaoming County of Zhaoqing Prefecture, which caused a large number of local people to go bankrupt and further expand the ranks of refugees. Recently, these epidemics have swept through the villages near Guangzhou.

The bandits finally began to focus on the fat man in Lijiazhuang.

The wealth of the Li family is almost universally known in Guangzhou. Although Lijiazhuang is not the silver warehouse of the Li family, it is still considered a wealthy village. In the past, Lijiazhuang had a strong militia to protect the village, and ordinary small groups of bandits did not dare to harass them. However,

In March, the Guangdong Office and "Fu Ruifeng" jointly established the "Golden Shield Security", and most of the members of the Li family's militia were transferred to Guangzhou to strengthen the "Golden Shield" security force. The direct result was that the Li family's home base was

The defense became empty. Although the Li family has begun to train new militia soldiers, their combat effectiveness is not comparable to that of the already formed militia. Several bandits near Panyu learned that the escort force of Lijiazhuang has changed.

After that, they launched several sneak attacks on Lijiazhuang and caused considerable losses in the area.

According to the news that the Li family spent money to inquire about, several bandits near Guangzhou Prefecture have recently begun to join forces, preparing to join forces to take down the Lijiazhuang in one fell swoop. This is a huge event for the Li family, although they have the Lijia Militia in their hands.

This armed force seemed pretty good, but no one dared to guarantee whether it could withstand the siege of thousands of rogue bandits. Therefore, after careful consideration, Li Jifeng still requested help from the General Office of the People's Republic of China.
