In fact, as the officials in Yicheng area hoped, Yang Jie and Colonel Li Zemin jointly arrived at Duofan Port, the first priority they handled was to use naval transport ships to transport a batch of materials and personnel to Yicheng Port in the west.

The supplies are scattered materials such as pepper, coconut, palm oil, sisal, coffee, etc. In addition, there are a large amount of dried and cut standard-sized wooden boards. These are the materials needed for industrial and agricultural production in Yicheng area and have always relied on the supply of New China Island.

In addition to supplies, many local soldiers of the Eight Banners of the island and their families were also another large batch of "goods". These people were uneasy and had a little longing, carrying a few super-large packages on their backs, which were their only property. However, after arriving in Yicheng area, I heard that the government would also issue loans to them in kind, with extremely low interest rates and approaching none, which undoubtedly helped them take root from the beginning.

The local soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Island, like the Black Eight Banners founded in South Africa, are called "warriors" and still have certain combat capabilities. These people have land, livestock, and houses, and their lives are pretty good. Although they have to go to the East Coast people to work regularly, they don't want to survive, so they didn't want to immigrate. Unfortunately, their arms can't twist their thighs. The East Coast people can give them their current life, so they can naturally deprive them of one word. They really have no room for resistance, and they have no courage to resist, so they can only obey their orders.

Of course, the East Coast people are worthy of being the most "kind" colonists on the planet at present. For the Eight Banners, the islands where immigrants to settle in the mainland, they will redeem their homes, land and livestock at a price that is not too excessive, and then distribute the cash to the Eight Banners warriors as severance payments, which is a good time for everyone to gather together.

According to the idea of ​​some living veterans of the East Coast Republic of China, New China Island is an island on the African continent. Well, the area of ​​the fourth largest island in the world is actually very large - naturally isolated from the mainland. Moreover, because of its long separation from the mainland (the ancient gondwana period), this large island not only has its own unique biological system, but also has many diseases and pests that are not on the mainland, which is of great significance to agricultural production.

Wouldn't it be a pity if such a good offshore island is occupied by blacks? This is the idea of ​​many first-generation veterans. They came from later generations and naturally knew the harm, so they accompanied them from the beginning to avoid it. Later, this idea developed to the extreme, and even the descendants of the Malays on the island did not want to stay, and wanted to change the overseas colony and leave it all to the descendants of the East Coast. The plan is currently being implemented in an orderly manner.

If we want to change the species, then how to deal with more than one million indigenous people on New China Island will become a serious problem. At first, the East Coast people thought simple, thinking of slaughtering things cleanly, but later they found that this was difficult, with not so many troops and not so much time, so they settled down and planned to consume the entire island as slaves until they died. But later they found that this was also unrealistic, because of the huge area of ​​the island and the complexity of the environment, a large number of surrendered natives were absorbed and composed into the Eight Banners of the Islands during the conquest. In the end, this force had developed into a force that the East Coast people could not ignore, so the option of over-exploitation was also eliminated.

Faced with such a situation, the central leaders of the past used their brains and finally returned to the old path, that is, they gave them a great migration. Anyway, people on the East Coast are famous for their great migration, and this time, they slowly moved the Eight Banners of these islands to the mainland, allowing them to compete with the barbaric Bantu blacks for living space, which is also a trick to drive away tigers and swallow wolves.

The local joint staff headquarters once made a deduction, that is, if the Eight Banners of the islands, which have mixed equipment for hot and cold weapons and participated in various wars for many years, can firmly suppress the unorganized black tribes. Even if they are well organized and have not encountered any black kingdoms and empires, they can push back and continue to expel the black people north. Everything depends only on how much price and sacrifice they are willing to pay. From a technical perspective, it is not too difficult.

Of course, people in the East Coast must also be vigilant, that is, they must strictly prevent these islands, Eight Banner tribes, and enslave black tribes, and then enslave black slaves. The problem will become more difficult. Therefore, East Coast officers, consultants, intelligence officers and others stationed in various ministries must closely monitor the situation of the Eight Banner tribes on the island, and report them immediately once they find signs and extinguish them in the bud.

At the Dofan Port Pier today, the Eight Banners local soldiers of the island who were waiting to set off gathered for the last time, and then listened to the lectures of the instructors on the East Coast. The content of the lecture was as mentioned before, and these people were reminded not to privately acquire slaves or privately acquire black tribes after arriving in Mozambique. In short, there were a lot of rules and regulations, and there were many restrictions. What they could do, what they could not do, etc.

The East Coast officers who were speaking quickly, and these people's Chinese may not be very good, so many people were confused. But it doesn't matter. After they arrived at the place, someone would teach them how to do it, and they would have plenty of time to understand all this.

On June 18, 1684, after a simple sailing, ships carrying cargo and the Eight Banners of the Island successfully arrived at Yicheng Port, a beautiful city that has become the largest port in East Africa. Navy transport ships would carry a large amount of coal, fur and some black slaves "ordered" by state-owned plantations, and then head north to return to Xinhua Port. The Eight Banners of the Island remained in Yicheng County under the arrangement of officials sent by the Yicheng Regional Administration, waiting for the arrangement of local officials. Most of the remaining were heading west along the Yicheng Railway under construction, reaching the northern border of Chenggao County, and then camped and settled down.

Here, thousands of local soldiers from the Eight Banners of the Island have settled. The arrival of these more than 2,000 people will further enrich their strength and make them more confident when resisting the invasion of black tribes. According to convention, the central government of the East Coast will provide weapons, ammunition and necessary military resources, and the local government will provide food and other services, and make every effort to make the Eight Banners of the islands have a firm foothold, and then move northward. The Eight Banners of the islands on the northern border of Yicheng County performed very well. After gaining a foothold, they began to move northward, killing or driving many Tongjia black tribes, and pushing the border line on the East Coast for a long distance north, so that the Portuguese came to protest.

However, their protests seem to be of little effect at the moment. At least Xiao Jingzong, the Commissioner of the Yicheng Regional Administrative Office, did not waste much money and continued to do whatever he should do. He even told the Portuguese directly that in the area north of Yicheng County, he had not seen a Portuguese official come to collect taxes or do anything else for many years. Instead, it was a paradise for the ignorant barbarians. The Portuguese said that this was their land, and the reasons were not sufficient.

Strictly speaking, Xiao Jingzong's words are a bit politically incorrect, because the East Coast government signed a demarcation agreement with Portugal, clearly marked that this is the territory of the Kingdom of Portugal. However, the agreement is sometimes important, sometimes not important, all depends on the comparison of the international situation and strength at that time - Well, okay, sometimes it depends on whether you are thick-skinned or not. It is obvious that Xiao Jingzong has thick-skinned.

Besides, the Portuguese and the Spanish live together on the Iberian Peninsula. Your neighbor, Spain, has been suffering from the cross-border cultivation of the East Coast people for many years. You have to try this feeling too. It is great that you can get a ecstasy and die in the end.

Xiao Jingzong is now hanging on a large map in his office, and he drew a large circle with a pencil. This circle includes the later South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and the central and southern Mozambique. This circle is vast in area, rich in resources, and suitable climate (this is particularly important), but the population is not very large. Outsiders may not understand what this means, but anyone familiar with Xiao Jingzong's colonial policy understands that this is the living space he set out for the East Coast people, that is, the place where the East Coast people settled and lived in the future - there are no Bantu blacks here!

As we all know, the southward movement of Bantu blacks on the African continent probably began in the 10th century, and by the 13th and 15th centuries, it had formed a large scale and occupied many parts of southern Africa, eliminating and massacring a large number of indigenous peoples who originally lived in the local area. When the East Coast people first sailed to South Africa, a group of Bantu blacks had just arrived in eastern South Africa from Mozambique for more than a hundred years, and the indigenous people of South Africa had not been completely eliminated. Therefore, in fact, the number of Bantu blacks in the entire southern Africa was not enough, and the fewer they went south, because they had been here for a short time.

Based on this fact, Xiao Jingzong discussed with some like-minded local people for a long time and finally drew this circle on the map. He felt that the land in the circle was suitable for farming and the climate was not as hot as the north. Zimbabwe was a plateau, and southern Mozambique was also a tropical savanna climate, not to mention South Africa and other places. The latitude was high and it was cool in itself. People on the east coast immigrated in large numbers. If the measures were effective, the investment was enough, and the determination was firm, it would be possible to gain a foothold and reproduce in large quantities.

Those black people are just nomadic, trekking tribes, and even more backward fishing, hunting and gathering tribes in the jungle. The level of civilization is extremely low, which means they have a stupid spirit of fearlessness, which is not irresistible. He believes that with the speed of development of the East Coast, as long as they vigorously immigrate from mainland China and move them into this circle, it is impossible to be unable to survive. The only problem is that this matter requires a lot of money and is worth it. This is still to be discussed. After all, not everyone will consider things from the perspective of ethnic and cultural aspects, and economic considerations are also very important. Don’t you see that some people are already clamoring to reduce immigration from mainland China? They want to save the country from the heavy financial quagmire of immigration and then invest in other aspects. This is a concrete manifestation and cannot be ignored.

Fortunately, the upper class in power still has an inertia and continues to insist on the great immigration cause that has lasted for 40 years. This has led to the continuous replenishment populations in Labaur, Australia, New China, South Africa and other places along the way. Otherwise, it would be really unrealistic to immigrate to overseas colonies. So, an interesting situation now is that perhaps the local people may no longer be keen on spending huge costs in the future to immigrate from the Far East, but the overseas colonies have a strong urge to immigrate. To put it bluntly, they are just different and have their own interests.

Over the years, the implementation of many measures such as the continuous transfer of local Eight Banners and the exile of local Indians on this frontier has greatly improved the borders of the East Coast controlled areas, intercepted many black tribes to the south, and prevented the black population of Bantu in the south from being supplemented by new immigrants. At the same time, in South Africa, the Namib Desert, and in the southern part of Mozambique, the East Coast people are also constantly attacking, arresting the black tribes of Bantu, including the Xhosa, Tonga, Zulu, and Swazi, reducing their population and economic strength. At the same time, a certain number of slave labor resources have been collected, which has strongly supported the construction of various infrastructures of the country.

However, it seems that the intensity of this kind of attack is not enough! Because there are still a large number of black people in the circle, and it is conservatively estimated that millions of people are still in the same way. If you want to drive them out, the energy and expenses will be taken to be huge. Take Colonel Guo Handongguo, who was just transferred back to China a while ago, for example, he has been in South Africa for several years and has been fighting black people hard, but he has not yet been able to expel all the black people on the eastern coast of South Africa. In other words, the so-called "South Africa's drill-through combat" plan has not yet achieved its full results.

This time, the central government transferred Yang Liang, the proposer of the original plan, to serve as commander of the South African garrison army. His primary task was to move the command center to the Yiyang Bay area on the east coast, and then focus on attacking the relatively densely populated black tribes in this place, and to occupy this land with abundant water and grass. For this reason, a large number of militia security groups from the western river center area and the Black Eight Banners Servants have also been transferred eastward to the Yiyang Bay area to prepare for a long-term war against the local Xhosa and Zulu people.
