Chapter 883 Immigration Issues

"A sixty-mile-long coastal port area..." After Shi Diwen read the Zhoushan Port Area Plan of the Ministry of Construction, he couldn't help but whistled: "This project is better than the original construction of Victory Port and Sanya Port.

It’s about time! A special military port area has also been set up. It seems that the Executive Committee has approved the plan to station a fleet here.”

Liu Shanxia said: "Not only do we need to station the fleet, but we also need to build a large shipyard here. Before I came here, I heard Sun Changmi mention that the naval ships deployed in Northeast Asia in the future will probably come from here. But steam

The power unit still has to be built in Sanya and then shipped here for installation."

"Then who will come to take charge of the shipyard? Sun Changmi or Yue Zhiyun?" Shi Diwen asked.

Liu Shanxia shook his head and said: "They are all very busy people and they have a lot of things on their hands and they can't get away. I heard that Zhang Qianxiang, the second son of Zhang Tiangui's family, is here."

Shi Diwen sighed: "Zhang Tiangui's family has produced many talents."

Zhang Tiangui is currently a senior cadre in charge of ship engineering in the Maritime Department, and one of the very few naturalized cadres who can attend executive committee meetings. He is no longer engaged in specific shipbuilding work, and mainly assists Sun Changmi and Yue

Zhiyun designed new ships and handled matters such as opening up new shipyards. All five of his sons were working for Haihan. The youngest son Zhang Qianzhi joined the Ministry of Security very early and followed He Xi. Later, he was involved in the Danzhou Rebellion.

The undercover agent made great contributions during the investigation and was already a senior cadre of the Ministry of Security at a young age. The eldest son, Zhang Qianren, is currently in Fujian and is the director of the Haihan office in Quanzhou, which is also considered a good job. This time, the second son was taken over

Zhang Qianxiang was sent to Zhoushan to take charge of the shipyard affairs. The family was able to flourish and each had his own wealth.

"To organize the introduction of immigrants, the Ministry of Civil Affairs should send more people to take charge of the work. Should our military be responsible for immigration affairs?" Qian Tiandun's focus was on another matter.

"Old Qian, it's useless for you to complain to me. No one from the Ministry of Civil Affairs is here now. The executive committee sent me here first. The project is urgent. You can only do part of the immigration organization." Liu Shanxia said about this arrangement.

It can only express helplessness.

Qian Tiandun wondered: "What has the Ministry of Civil Affairs been busy with lately? They can't even send out anyone."

"Census!" Liu Shanxia sighed: "The Ministry of Civil Affairs is collecting and sorting out the population data of the areas under its control. This matter should have been completed last month, but there is a serious shortage of manpower. When will it be completed? You have to ask Ning Qi.

knew."

Qian Tiandun has no way to refute this reason. The census is a very important reference for the executive committee to revise existing policies and formulate development plans for the future. Although the Ministry of Civil Affairs has started to implement the household registration system a few years ago

, to register the settled naturalized citizens, but Haihan’s sphere of influence has expanded so rapidly that a large number of naturalized citizens will move away from their original places to settle in new colonies every year, which requires the Ministry of Civil Affairs to conduct a census

At that time, the workload became considerable. In order to collect more reliable data, a large number of on-site visits must be used to confirm the situation, and this requires a lot of time and manpower.

Regarding the post-war development plan of the Zhoushan area, various departments including the Ministry of Civil Affairs did have corresponding arrangements. However, since the preliminary census work has not yet been completed, civil affairs officials including Ning Qi are touring various places to guide the work.

, we really can’t send more manpower to Zhoushan.

Qian Tiandun and Shi Diwen looked at each other and smiled bitterly in unison. Organizing immigration is a very tedious task, and they are not willing to do it for them, but if this is the arrangement of the executive committee, they can only force it even if they are reluctant.

I did it with my scalp.

"This area of ​​Jiangsu and Zhejiang is a prosperous area. There have been no major natural or man-made disasters in the past year or two. It may not be easy to introduce a large number of immigrants in a short period of time." Qian Tiandun's attitude towards this is not very optimistic: "It must be done quickly.

If we do, we can only intercept the refugees brought back from the north, but that may cause dissatisfaction in the south."

Currently, the number of war refugees transported back to the south from the Jiaodong Peninsula in the north each month remains at two to three thousand. However, after Haihan removed the Zhoushan pirates, the biggest obstacle on the immigration route, the scale of immigration is expected to further expand. But the north

The immigrants brought back are not enough to fill the labor gap in the south. If too many are intercepted by Zhoushan, it may indeed cause dissatisfaction in some areas in the south. For example, the Tainan Kaohsiung Port started to be developed at the end of last year, and was newly included in the first half of this year.

There are still large labor gaps in Tamsui Port and Jilong Port under Haihan's rule. Zhoushan's interception of northern immigrants will mean that the development and construction of these areas will be slowed down.

"Then we can only use the old method." Liu Shanxia gave an idea: "Divide the land! Although there is not much arable land on Zhoushan Island, with good planning, a lot of people can be accommodated."

"Inappropriate." Qian Tiandun shook his head and objected: "The development zone we planned on Zhoushan Island will focus on commerce and trade in the future. Now we have divided the land to attract immigrants to farm. In a year or two, all the cultivated land will have to be cleared.

If you take it back, you will be in trouble again."

"How about placing it in a slightly remote location?" Liu Shanxia asked.

"Old Liu, this is Zhoushan, not Sanya. There are no commuting trains. If the immigration station is farther away, it will take several hours to go back and forth by boat. How can we still work?" Qian Tiandun still disagrees with Liu Shanxia.

suggestions.

"Then we can only temporarily use the people on the island to take over." Shi Diwen touched his chin and said: "Don't forget that this island originally had a population of tens of thousands. Adding in the islands we captured before, we can make up a few thousand

Labor should still be able to do it.”

"Almost all the young people on the island are pirates. It's too risky to do this. Don't forget the lesson Shi Lu learned back then!" Qian Tiandun still held objections to this.

The Haihan Militia captured a large number of people in the Zhoushan Islands area this time, but most of them were identified as dangerous elements. The original plan was to break them up and send them to various mines and forest farms in the south.

They were resettled in the area to minimize the risk of rebellion. One of the reasons for the riots in the Shilu Iron Mine in 1631 was that too many serious criminals were imprisoned there. These desperadoes knew that it would be difficult for them to have another chance to return.

After gaining freedom, they will inevitably link up with each other and seek escape through violent means. After that, the judicial department changed its previous practice. For trouble-prone people such as prisoners of war and serious criminals, they are held in one detention place.

The proportions are limited.

The three discussed for a long time, but still did not reach a unified opinion. However, the development and construction of Zhoushan Trade Zone waits for no one. With so many cooperation agreements signed by the Merchants Association, a large number of merchant ships and personnel will soon flock here, and the port facilities will also be improved.

It is necessary to keep up with the application demand. Liu Shanxia's people are already here. If the progress of this project cannot be kept up, it will be equivalent to a waste of his precious technical resources. For the current plan, we can only follow Shi Diwen's suggestion first.

The method is to take prisoners of war to the construction site to serve as labor force, and get things done first.

However, this method inevitably requires the use of a large number of armed personnel for guarding. There is currently no local police force in Zhoushan, so only the elite of the militia army can be used as guards. It really feels like killing a chicken with a knife. In addition, this deployment also

This will slow down the progress of cleaning up the islands in the northern waters of the Zhoushan Archipelago. Without the participation and cooperation of the army, the Haihan Fleet, no matter how powerful it is, will be unable to clean up the pirates who are unable to hide on the islands.

Under such circumstances, the task of the special operations battalion responsible for clearing the islands has increased invisibly. However, for these elites, they have long been accustomed to various difficult combat environments. Takahashi Minami also believes that this is because of the war.

It's a good opportunity for power training, so I don't want to wait for reinforcements to arrive from the south, so I still start the operation according to the original plan.

After the recruit Sun Zhen experienced a series of combat operations in Tamsui Port, Jilong Port and the northward journey to Zhejiang in the first half of the year, he had completely lost the greenness when he first joined the army. He became more and more calm and calm on the battlefield, and during the battle in the Zhoushan Islands

He has killed many times and captured enemies, and his performance has been recognized by a group of veterans. If it were not for his junior qualifications, the combat achievements he had accumulated in the past three months would have been enough to upgrade him to two levels in a row. However, Sun Zhen himself was not.

He doesn't care much about the speed of his promotion. He prefers to enjoy the excitement on the battlefield. In Qian Tiandun's words, Sun Zhen is the kind of material who is born to be a soldier. Entering the special operations battalion, a unit with intensive combat missions,

For him, not only did he not feel tired due to the intensive fighting, but he felt like a fish in water, wishing he could have a battle to fight every month.

Sun Zhen's current mission is to clear out the roaming bandits on Zhoushan Island. Most of the island, which covers an area of ​​more than 400 square kilometers, is mountainous, while Haihan only occupies a narrow coastal plain area on the southern coastline.

More than two-thirds of the area is still outside of control. After Haihan captured the Zhoushan Boat Gang's territory, a large number of boat gang members chose to flee north and hide in the mountains and forests. Based on the prisoners' confessions and the information compiled, the headquarters

It is believed that there are at least a thousand people hiding in the mountains and forests in the central and northern parts of Zhoushan Island. These people must be hidden dangers that must be eliminated.

After Sun Zhen had breakfast, he carefully organized his outfit and equipment. This trip into the mountains would take at least five to seven days, and he did not want to affect his mission by accidentally taking something with him.

"Gather!" the platoon leader shouted. Sun Zhen quickly stood up, put his combat bag on his back, then picked up his rifle and rushed to the queue.

"I have told everyone about this combat mission into the mountains before, but a new order has just been sent from the battalion headquarters. We need to pay special attention to a wanted criminal after entering the mountains this time..." the platoon leader said.

A piece of paper unfolded, with a portrait of a man on it: "This is Wang Jialin, the leader of the Zhoushan Boat Gang. Please note that his image is different from the portrait you saw last time. He has shaved off his beard and hair. The battalion headquarters requires that once

If you find this person, arrest him immediately. If you encounter resistance, you can use all necessary means, but you must try to catch those who can be alive. The Ministry of Security needs to get some information from this person. Look carefully, what he looks like

Keep it in mind!"

After the platoon leader showed the portraits one by one in front of everyone, he put them away and ordered to set off. This time, Sun Zhen's company will be divided into platoon units, and the troops will be divided into four directions from south to north, facing a mountainous area at the western end of Zhoushan Island.

Sort it out carefully.

Due to limited troop strength, several platoon leaders agreed on the intervals during the march before departure so that they could support each other in time if there was a situation. They were not worried about the ambush set by the bandits on the island, but they needed to let their companions know when chasing the enemy.

Carry out outflanking to improve the efficiency of killing.

Although there is only a straight line distance of more than 20 miles from the starting point to the northern coastline of Zhoushan Island, because the mountains and forests are almost in a primitive state along the way, plus the time required to search for traces along the way, it takes about a whole day to complete this task.

Then we set off from the northern coastline and turned back the next day, conducting a filtering search of the island’s mountainous areas bit by bit like a comb.

If the Haihan Militia could invest thousands of troops, then this task would actually not take more than a few days. However, since most of the troops heading north this time were deployed for defense, there were only two troops that could participate in the clearing operation.

It's just a company. With such a small number of people searching hundreds of square kilometers of mountainous areas, it is indeed a very time-consuming and labor-intensive task.

Two hours after setting off, Sun Zhen's platoon discovered several guys grilling food in the mountain col. While these people's attention was focused on the food, Sun Zhen and others slowly approached and surrounded them.

They then gradually narrowed the encirclement. However, after discovering their unfavorable situation, these guys did not choose to resist with force, but surrendered directly. After interrogation on the spot, it was learned that these guys were indeed members of the boat gang and had already been in the boat gang.

I have been hiding in the mountains for more than ten days, and I can only survive by catching birds and fish. During these days, my supplies have been basically exhausted, and I have even eaten all the salt.

After interrogation, it was found that these guys had lost contact with the others. They planned to go to the beach to try their luck after eating this meal to see if they could get a small boat to leave Zhoushan Island. However, they did not expect that they were captured by the sea before escaping.

The Han militia group caught them. However, even if they could bravely walk out of the mountains and forests, it would probably be difficult to find a boat to leave Zhoushan, because the Han militia group had already imposed a ban on the coastline of Zhoushan Island. Including the northern coastline, there is no sea

Without Han's permission, Pianfan could not go to sea.

The soldiers tied these people behind their backs with cowhide ropes and strung them into a string, escorting them to continue heading north. They only needed to escort these people to the northern coastline, and then contact the Haihan warships cruising along the coastline to pick up the prisoners.

Just go.

After the wave of buying and selling in the morning, there was no business for the whole day. Before dinner time, the soldiers marched to the northern coastline calmly and successfully contacted their cruising companions.
Chapter completed!
