On July 11, 1704, another group of Indians came ashore at the Yicheng Port Pier, and their destination was Longkou Port in the Kingdom of Malawi.

Longkou Port is located opposite Sena Town. It is a city developed due to immigration and commercial trade. The initial residents were mainly immigrants from the Eight Banners of the Island, with about less than a thousand people, mainly armed personnel. In recent years, with the East Coast government transporting a large number of people here, its total population has rapidly expanded to 6,000, and residents of Indian ancestry (Indians and Mestiso) account for more than 80%, which has become the majority of the local population. After the arrival of a new batch of Indians, the population of Indian descendants in the entire Longkou County will account for more than 90%, which is already an absolute majority.

The reason for this is actually because the people on the east coast did it intentionally. According to the different mountains and rivers, they divided the areas currently controlled by the Kingdom of Malawi into several counties, namely: Longkou County with Longkou Town as the core, Xinmai County with Xinmai Town as the core, Boni County with Boni Town as the core, Yongkang County with Yongkang Town as the core, Dalong County with Dalong Town as the core, Meilin County, a "old district" city located in the area of ​​Flame Lake. This county is also the capital of the Kingdom of Malawi and Huinan County, which is under construction near the later Liondai City.

It is obvious that the actual control area of ​​the Malawi Kingdom established by Mahu is not large or small, but there are also seven counties. Among these seven counties, Meilin, Huinan, Dalong and Yongkang, there are about 75,000 people, mainly the Eight Banners of the Islands, and their religious belief is the East Coast Taoism, and they are also the main ethnic group of this country. Boni County is mainly Brunei people. Although it is very close to the Eight Banners of the Islands, its religious belief is the Green Church. The relationship between the two sides is not very good, and there are even signs of hostility. The county has about 17,000 people.

Xinmai County has a population of more than 8,000, mainly exiled Arabs from Bahrain Island. They believe in the Green Church, but they are Shiites. They do not deal with Sunni Brunei people in Boni County. Both sides are disliked each other, but fortunately, there has not been any conflict.

The youngest Longkou County is mainly residents of Catholic Indian descendants, and its support is continuous, and its strength cannot be underestimated. In the future, it may rely on Longkou County's superior geographical location to develop into a vital force within the Kingdom of Malawi.

From here we can also see that the small Malawi Kingdom has a population of only more than 100,000, but it has many factions and many hills. Both the racial composition and religious beliefs are very different. Their only common point is probably that it confirms that Chinese is the only official language, which is a rigid requirement of the East Coast people and cannot be changed.

The split into this bird-like bird in the Kingdom of Malawi was actually designed by the East Coast. It not only gives you a main ethnic group, ensures that your country is relatively stable, has the ability to clear out black people in the territory, and prevent the black people from moving south, but at the same time, this stability is also relative. There are a large number of Indian descendants in its country, Sunni Brunei and Shia Arabs, the total number is nearly 30%. If it is provoked, it will be enough to turn the country upside down.

Therefore, in the future, if the Kingdom of Malawi is obedient, he will have to face conflicts from economic to political, ethnic to cultural, and even civil wars. The people of the East Coast are not kidding, nor are they good men and women. As the founding monarch, Ma Hu has a deep understanding of this matter and will also leave so-called legacy for his descendants in order to avoid this situation.

The Kingdom of Malawi has exported many batches of agricultural products through the Zambezi River, mainly high-value cash crops such as coconut, sisal, palm oil, and dried tropical fruits. Instead, low-value food such as cassava, corn, sorghum, potatoes are imported to feed the people of the country. Yes, you are not mistaken, because the population is increasing every year, and the country has to undertake many military activities and infrastructure construction, so the grain output has never been completely self-sufficient. Therefore, exporting cash crops for money and then purchasing grains that people in the East Coast don’t value much. This also means that the cheap price is used to make up for the gap in domestic food, which is a very normal thing.

The outlet passage for the Kingdom of Malawi is the Dalong River. This river flows through the south of the country, not only provides a large amount of irrigation water for grain production, but also plays a considerable role in shipping. Although ships need to sail in sections for various reasons, it is also very good. The latest news is that the Kingdom of Malawi plans to clean up the entire Dalong River basin, mainly targeting the river channel with too narrow and silted sections, and places with large gaps even intend to buy a lifter from the east coast. As a result, as soon as this idea came out, it was rejected by the East Coast consultant and told Ma Hu in a tactful way that Malawi's credit limit in the East Coast banking industry has been used up, and it is not advisable to do large-scale projects. This is to translate it bluntly, don't think that if you have too much debt, you can borrow money randomly. You have to pay it back in the future. It is most important to do what you can do.

After the goods from the Kingdom of Malawi are shipped to Longkou, they will be purchased by East Coast merchants, Portuguese merchants and Italian merchants. After the acquisition is completed, the merchants will hire Zambési Shipping Company's unpowered boat to transport the goods to the town of Senna on the other side. There are relatively large deep processing enterprises for deep processing of agricultural products, which can effectively digest these goods and then transport them to the downstream Yuejin Port for export to other regions.

In short, this is a purely agricultural country. The goods it produces are similar to the Portuguese colony on the south bank of the Zambezi River, and there is not much competitiveness in price. However, it is currently developing due to the large external market demand and the fact that state-owned enterprises in the East Coast give them a certain export share due to political factors, but they can only barely maintain it. There is no possibility of repaying loans in the short term. Fortunately, the East Coast people are not in a hurry, because they have different functional positioning of this country. If they can maintain it, it is a victory, right?

When the "Oriental Giant" sailboat was docked at Yicheng Port, a ship happened to leave here. Anyone familiar with it knew that it was the ship of Man Xiaofeng, a famous businessman in the Western Indian Ocean. He had just purchased a large number of hardware products at Yicheng Port, and then prepared to go to the Mianhe Port on the other side to buy cloth and other daily necessities, and ship a batch of Melina immigrants, then turn back to Yuejin Port on the west coast of the strait to deliver with his partners.

This person has been working in the Western Indian Ocean for a long time and has a very good development momentum. The shipping company under his name currently has six traditional sailing ships and four old-fashioned sailing ships, with a total transportation tonnage of more than 8,000 tons. After purchasing a large number of stocks of East African transport companies in the secondary market, he became an important agent under the company, with businesses spread throughout South Africa, New China, Northeast Africa, Arabian Peninsula and India, and was a person who stomped the feet and earthquakes. There are even rumors that Man Xiaofeng was involved in the sinful black slave trade, acquired a large number of local Bantu black people in the Kingdom of Malawi, and then resold them to North American British and French merchants who purchased black slaves. Because the slaves he provided were low, they were very popular in the market and made huge trade profits.

This kind of behavior is certainly not allowed, but because it is outside the east coast, it often turns a blind eye and refuses to pursue it. I heard that Man Xiaofeng ordered two 1,100-ton large-scale sailboats at the local Pacific Shipyard this year. This money may not be without the contribution of the black slave trade, but who really cares? He contributes a lot of taxes to Yicheng, Hezhong, Xinhuaxia and other places every year, provides many jobs, and is a guest of honor for government officials. Wang Dazhuang, the captain of the New China Development Team, even awarded him a certificate. With this protective umbrella, who dares to take what to do with him? What can he do with him?

"Now the commanders of several columns are really like that. In fact, the Ma family of the Malawi Kingdom, which has been officially established." In the largest restaurant near Yicheng Port Pier, diners are still talking about the yellow-and-black dividing line. In fact, it is normal. The large Yicheng area is really tied up here. Commissioner Zhu of the Administrative Office is concerned about the construction of the marching railway and the northern region every few days. The ambition of entering the inland hinterland of South Africa has disappeared, and they are only talking about the north now.

"Malawi has built 100,000 people, seven counties, with a certain business network, and relatively smooth external transportation channels. Italians are also rushing to invest and give money. If this does not develop well, just wipe your neck." said a diner who looks like a cultural person. He was placed in front of him with a plate of goat meat, which was imported from Malawi. In that area, the problem of culinary flies is relatively serious, and the cattle farming industry has never developed. Therefore, at the suggestion of the East Coast consultant, he took advantage of the relatively high-quality grasslands and forest land in Yongkang and Xinmai counties to develop goat breeding industry, exporting foreign exchange to exchange for high-yield and low-priced grains such as corn and potatoes. He could not eat meat and had to export to exchange for coarse grains. It was quite miserable.
