The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 498 Seizing the Coal Mine
This port is an important coal export port in northern Vietnam for later generations, and the nearby coal field is the largest coal field in Southeast Asia with billions of tons of coal reserves.

Huang Sheng chose to capture Annan for two main purposes, grain bases and high-quality coal mines.These two elements, together with the high-grade iron ore in Hainan Island, are crucial to the future development of the Huang family.

The location of Hon Gai Port in later generations of Vietnam was quickly found, and the construction of the port, the construction of the bastion guarding the port, the construction of grain depots and other infrastructure work began immediately.

The sentinel ships and transport ships of the Huaxia Navy have come to the coastline long ago, and have been keeping in touch with the army commanded by the Patriarch himself through high-powered binoculars.

This place will never be abandoned by Huang Sheng. The simple pier was spliced ​​together by sealed floating boats, and the cement and steel were unloaded immediately. More than 8 men and women captured by the Dai Viet Kingdom cooperated with [-] to [-] Han immigrants to start construction projects under the guidance of Huang's engineering and technical personnel.

There were [-] migrants who came with the boat. They were all premeditated immigrants in Huang Sheng's plan.

The new immigrants brought from Qinzhou were actually unplanned. The original immigration plan had no intention of going overland.

Huang Sheng saw that there were more than 18 ordinary people gathered in Qinzhou, and it would be too wasteful of time and capacity to transport them by ship, so he took them to continue marching according to the situation, and arranged for the senior Xiangyong who would go back after the mission to temporarily manage and protect them.

After gaining the foothold on the coast, the entire immigration team finally arrived under the leadership of Ge Chengjie.

Most of these people were promoted as soon as they got off the boat, and many immigrant activists were promoted to Baochang, Baochang to Jiachang, and so on.Because [-] households have to participate in the management of tens of thousands of new immigrants.

The grass-roots civil officials of Huang Sheng's collection plan, including the newly promoted chief security officer, held a meeting, allowing everyone to speak freely, asking whether they can manage the people they get, and whether they can achieve basic fairness?
As soon as they got off the boat, they were promoted to a higher level. The low-level managers of the planned immigrants were all overjoyed, and they all pleaded their chests, saying that they were afraid that there would be few people and the land would be small. Now that the owner has given such a large place and such a large population all at once, please ask the owner Look!

In less than a year, the place they manage will definitely be a civilized society no less clean and hygienic than Huangjiawan Island Road.

His subordinates are very confident, and Huang Sheng is very satisfied. Their self-confidence does not come from ignorance, on the contrary, they all have experience in managing the community, and everyone will copy what the Huang family has done.

They are not afraid of disobedience from foreign nationalities, because they carry rifled guns on their backs and have double-barreled short guns pinned to their waists. The Baochang has at least thirty brave men and at least ten muskets.

It is relatively easy for such an armed task force to carry out work. First use force to make the people obey the arrangement, and when everyone tastes the sweetness of the Huang family's rule that will bring food and clothing and gradually become rich, social stability can be expected in days.

Ge Chengjie has been operating in Lingao for several years. He is experienced and familiar with resettlement work.

After Huang Sheng sent the immigrants to work in the occupied areas, he also sent Huang Jiayong to investigate the surrounding area with a hundred generals as a unit, and soon found several open-pit coal seams. Refractory bricks are used to build a wheel kiln and prepare local materials to burn bricks.

Ge Chengjie arranged to dispatch 14 women from the country of Da Viet and [-] children aged [-] to [-] to make brick embryos.The labor intensity of making brick embryos is not high, but it is very trivial and suitable for women and children.

The work of digging mountains and quarrying rocks, building roads, digging and transporting coal has to be done by arranging strong labor.

The unloaded cargo ships could not return to Hainan Island with empty loads. Wheelbarrows brought coal loaded in wicker baskets, and Hainan Island finally obtained high-quality anthracite coal.

Under the leadership of experienced Gu Shanhai, the era of big iron and steel smelting is coming soon, and the steel output of Huang's family may become the world's number one next year.

The port under construction in the occupied territory not only has forts and military forts, but also a new city will rise.

Many engineers who have participated in many city repairs, expansions, and reconstructions have come, and they will soon start building the Harbor Grand Theater, Huaxia Bank, Huaxia Post Office, Government Office, Chenghuang Temple, and Confucius Temple. Of course, how to build a commercial street will also be planned middle.

The importance of publicity is well known, and the Grand Theater, which can accommodate 500 people, is particularly prominent. It can not only convey positive energy through entertainment and education, but also organize meetings to convey government orders.

This has historical experience. In the 70s and [-]s, most of the most lively places in a county were near the cinema.

The best way to prevent the enemy from attacking is to actively attack the enemy. While building the port, the army will continue to advance without delay. The target is Anle County, followed by Zhiai, and finally there is a place that can be regarded as a city, Beijiang, here is a The capital city of Dai Viet Kingdom.

The seizure of this place did not cause any casualties to the Ming army. Most of the fleeing crowd was blocked by the cavalry attack. The soldiers and civilians of the Dayue Kingdom who were about to defend the city were scared out of their wits by the three-round salvo of field guns lined up, and fled in all directions, screaming. The wolf soldiers slashed and killed like crazy, and the soldiers and civilians of Beijiang immediately knelt down rationally.

Before the white-armed soldiers of the second echelon could seize the opportunity to kill the enemy, the soldiers and civilians of Beijiang City disarmed and surrendered with their hands high.

The Ming army, white-armed soldiers, and wolf soldiers from outside the Ming Dynasty felt that it was too cool to fight with the private soldiers of the Huang family. Often, after the roar of artillery fire and a few rounds of musket salvos, the opponent would run away desperately, and then the Ming soldiers from all walks of life chased after the enemy. The ass hides and kills and captures captives.

The result of laying down a decent city is good. A lot of food and precious metals have been produced. The labor force for the construction to be named "Annan Port" and "Annan City" has increased by another [-] to [-], and there are [-] more Chinese who call themselves Han. captive.

The Huang family's private soldiers immediately announced the policy of ethnic integration under the leadership of the Han people. Many Jing people who could speak Chinese learned that the Han people led other ethnic groups.

It turns out that these people understand history!Soon all the prisoners of Dai Viet discovered that the Han captives were treated differently from them.

Han captives can eat three meals, which is enough to cook biscuits, instead of two meals like them, which is enough to eat porridge, and each person can only eat one cake.

Of course, this was intentionally done by Ge Chengjie and his team to artificially create inequality, and it is easier to get fair treatment.

Unsurprisingly, more and more people claim to be Han people, and many Han people who can't speak Chinese appear. Evening schools are opened, and learning to speak Chinese and write Chinese characters has become the only way for every Jing people to improve their treatment.

Regardless of whether he is a real Han Chinese or a fake Han Chinese, within 20 years they will all be Han Chinese, and they will not be able to tell the difference.

After scoring by the township braves, two thousand Han Chinese from the Great Viet Kingdom who actively served the Ming army were selected as group leaders leading ten men. These people not only can eat three meals a day, but also get ten cents a day for labor. .

As long as people have hope, they will make progress. The life of the small people of Shengdou in Dai Viet is also very hard. They have inherited the hard-working spirit of the Han people and work hard every day.

Now that they are captives, their daily workload is not much different from their usual work. They used to eat two meals and they might not be able to fill their stomachs. Now they can eat enough to fill their stomachs. Most people work with peace of mind, and few are ready to escape. .

Knowing that working hard and learning Chinese will lead to a better life, the enthusiasm for work and study has been greatly improved, and the construction project of "Annan Port" is progressing rapidly.

Cargo ships on the sea came and returned with full loads, and the materials and machinery piled up in Lingao and Thanksgiving ports that had been prepared for more than half a year were continuously brought in.

The first batch of immigrants who came with the ship and stayed on Hainan Island to work and undergo military training also landed one after another.

Many of these people were Han people who had been Aha rescued from Houjin, and many were immigrants from Dongjiang Town in exchange for food. They all participated in military training for nearly a year, and their combat effectiveness and discipline were better than those in the Qinzhou training camp. The new immigrants are much stronger.
