Rise of the 1630s South America

Chapter 223 Blood Exchange Plan

Fortunately, this paddle steamer was quite powerful this time, and there was no problem in the short two-hour voyage, and it successfully delivered a ship of guests and goods to the North City of Dongfang Port.

After arriving at Dongfang Port, Guo Zili quickly went to the Ministry of the Navy to go through some handover procedures. After the procedures were completed, he declined some entertainment, food and drink, and then went straight to the port's military dock, where the second batch of expeditionary fleet ships on the African route were waiting. up.

The formation consisted of four ships, namely the battleship "Free Trade" owned by Guo Zili, the transport ship "Galicia Flying Fish" captained by Second Lieutenant Huang Yang, the merchant ship "Abbot" and the newly commissioned "Chaoyong" high-speed cruiser - Lieutenant Han Dezhi served as the captain.

In the afternoon, after the resupply was completed, the three warships of the Exploration Fleet left the military dock of Dongfang Port in a low-key manner.After more than a month of sailing, on February 1639, 2, it arrived at the wharf of the Fort in the River, South Africa.

The Fort in the River stands on the bank of the river as always, with the blue and white national flag of the East Bank Republic of China fluttering on the top of the city.I haven't seen it for a while, and a long section of the city wall of the Fort in the River has been built again. It seems that after a while, this big city, which is rare even in the mainland, will be completed.

More than 300 Guarani and Charuya immigrants came out of the "Galicia Flying Fish" transport ship, and they will be the new batch of residents of Fort del River.As for why the Executive Committee sent these hundreds of precious people to South Africa when the local labor force is so tight, this is actually related to a plan that the Executive Committee has never announced - the "Blood Exchange Plan".

The so-called blood exchange plan refers to immigrating as many indigenous people as possible to overseas South African territories. The space they vacate will naturally be occupied by immigrants from Europe and Ming Dynasty.As for why this is done, it is mainly for future consideration.To put it bluntly, these South American aborigines are the natural and original owners of the current east coast area, and the others, including the people who traveled through, are actually outsiders who have seized their homes.

Of course, they are weak now and have to accept the fact that their homeland is occupied by people.But this does not mean that they will always be like this, that they will not make trouble in ten or twenty years, and they will not make trouble in 20 or 50 years?Especially after the popularization of education on the east coast and the enlightenment of people's wisdom, they are likely to have fierce conflicts with the descendants of outsiders.As an ethnic group, even if they are assimilated by you, recognize your culture, and recognize your way of life, they will confidently think that they are the natural masters of the land in front of them.

Even if the country is now vigorously promoting interracial intermarriage, they and other mixed-race descendants will naturally think that they are more qualified to inherit this land than those pure Europeans and pure Ming people.At that time, conflicts will be unavoidable. If indigenous or mixed-race descendants account for a large proportion of the population, the intensity of the conflict will be stronger, and it is very likely that the country will be severely damaged or even split.

In order to avoid this situation, the executive committee came up with such a so-called blood exchange plan.The more than 300 South American indigenous immigrants this time are the first batch of immigrants in the plan, and there will be second and third batches in the future.Don't you Charuyas and Guaranis think that you are the natural masters of the east coast?Don't you regard those Europeans and Ming people who violently captured you as outsiders and robbers?Well, now send you all to South Africa!

In this wild land of Africa, you are also outsiders, and what you do is even more like robbers.At this time, can you still be so righteous?Do you still think that you are the natural masters of the land under your feet?Look at those South African native reds and blacks who look at you with vigilance and awe. What can you rely on in this unfamiliar land?correct!All you can rely on here is the government!Only the government can protect you!In the future, you will be honest here farming, working, and fighting here. Do whatever the government tells you to do, put away your own resistance, and stop thinking about those dangerous thoughts of splitting the country.If you listen to the government, you can still eat well and drink hot food; if you are still hostile to the government and engage in some dangerous activities, then you are not alone on the gallows erected outside the city.

Sergeant Aivani, who has been transferred to the director of the Hezhong Town Police Station, looked at the South American natives filing out of the cabin with a complicated expression. With his own hard work and a little bit of luck, he climbed to the high position of the director of the police station step by step. Looking around, he can be regarded as a middle-level cadre among so many officials in the Eastern China Republic.

As a pure-blood Charuya, Sheriff Alvani doesn't have much aversion to the East Coasters occupying their homeland.This may have something to do with him being a middle-level official in the system, but he really feels that the arrival of the people from the east coast is not a catastrophic event.Perhaps they were too brutal in capturing the Charuya tribe and forcing the relocation of Guarani villages, causing a lot of bloodshed, but that is the "price" that civilization must pay, even if it is bloody.

Yes, that's what Sheriff Ivani thinks.He never forgot that on that winter day seven years ago, a group of East Coast soldiers with live ammunition suddenly surrounded their village, demanding that they surrender immediately and move to a place designated by the East Coast people to settle down.The elders of the village rejected the request of the East Coast people and killed their envoy, hanging his head high on the tree trunk.The furious Dong'an people washed their village with force and blood. In that battle, almost half of the men in the village were killed by the Dong'an people's swords and guns.Those well-trained soldiers on the east bank were like a sophisticated killing machine, knocking down anyone who dared to resist.

However, the officers on the east bank ordered the soldiers to let go of all the Charuyas who surrendered, and gave some injured tribesmen basic hemostatic bandages.Unity, strength, ruthlessness and kindness, that year, Aivani, who was still a young boy, was completely shocked by the people of the East Coast.

After joining the East Coasters, Aiwani relied on his talent and hard work to rise up step by step, from the assistant police all the way to the high position of the director of the police station.In his perception, the East Coast people are powerful, well-organized, have a high standard of living, and have a relatively fair distribution system. It seems that it is not a bad thing for them to lead the future of the Charuya and Guaraní people.As a middle-level cadre on the east bank, and at the same time a native of Charuya, I have the obligation to help these uncivilized people of the same race to adjust their mentality and integrate into the life of the east bank.

At this moment, Aivani must have never heard of the name Stockholm Syndrome, otherwise he and many Charuyas who share the same idea as him may re-examine their past lives.

These 300-odd new immigrants were not very peaceful in their native land. They refused to intermarry with people of other races, and they did not hesitate to accept fines for this.Many people do not speak Chinese very fluently, and they stubbornly stick to the backward tradition in terms of lifestyle.For this reason, the local disciplinary police have rectified them several times, but the effect is very limited.

At this moment, they traveled across the ocean to this continent across the sea from their hometown.Stepping on a strange land, surrounded by black people and red people who looked at them with strange eyes, this psychological sense of hesitation and helplessness is not to mention how strong it is.Fortunately, there was still a familiar flag flying on the castle ahead, and a group of East Coast soldiers in familiar uniforms and armed with live ammunition stood neatly outside the pier, which gave them a sense of familiarity and dependence.

Sheriff Aiwani led a group of civil affairs officials to take these new immigrants to his residence. These 300 people were split up and divided into various residential areas and villages inside and outside the city for better control. , assimilate them.The new immigrants who have just arrived are fairly obedient, and there are basically no incidents of disobedience to orders.Even if they were separated, it only caused a small uproar, but it was quickly disappeared under the scabbard of the militiamen.

"The executive committee's tactic of pulling out salary from the bottom is very good." Guo Zili walked down the cabin, shook Mo Ming's hand with a smile, and said.

"It's hard to deal with these natives without this tactic." Mo Ming also responded with a smile, "Actually, I suggested this to the executive committee. Liu Ang and I studied the colonial history of the Spanish in South America. , especially the historical evolution of Bolivia, Peru, Paraguay and other countries where the indigenous people are the majority, it is found that once the consciousness of these indigenous people is awakened, especially when they still have a considerable population base, their xenophobic tendencies will be Very serious. Even if they have lost their traditions and fully accepted your culture, the aborigines are aborigines and they are the natural owners of this land, so they will inevitably hate outsiders. Once the political situation in the country is unstable, This kind of xenophobic tendency may even lead to riots, and then things will be serious."

"So you decided to let these South American natives come to Africa?" Guo Zili shook his head amusedly, and said, "This trick is a bit of a loss. Africa is not the Africa of the Charuyas, but the east coast belongs to the Charuyas." On the east bank, if you let the Charuya people from the east bank come to Africa, they lose their natural ownership of the land under their feet, and they also become outsiders and invaders, which has to be said to be a great irony."

Mo Ming smiled nonchalantly: "If we don't drive away or kill all the original owners of the land, how can we occupy it with peace of mind? Killing them all is reluctant to the executive committee, and it doesn't conform to our current mainstream values, so let's We have to let them move a place. We need living space and land under the sun, so they can only give us their homes. Of course, we have also arranged a new home for them, and they are not too bad. The only people out there who are going to lose are probably the natives of South Africa, but who cares?"
