Rebirth of South America as King

A few days later, more than 20,000 Chinese people left on transport vessels, and the remaining 80,000 immigrants remained stranded in Songkhla.

汉 Chinese officials in charge of immigration affairs and the Songkhla government have set up more than 30 temporary settlement sites in the area near Songkhla Port to protect the daily diet and life of migrants.

The original batch of Chinese was transported away, and a new batch of immigrants poured in from the mainland. The expanded Songkhla port, due to the tens of thousands of residents who temporarily stayed, showed a kind of incompatibility in the hustle and bustle. A sense of chaos in times.

Busy on the pier is the growing strength of Chinese young men and women. They arrived in Songkhla before the outbreak of the fighting in Argentina. The British blocked the maritime transportation from South Ocean to South America. They would be raised and rested in Songka for a while. Strength, convenience to use the free time during the stay, to become a temporary worker on the dock.

When the market is good, when you come to the port with newcomers of Westerners, or a large number of Chinese merchant ships, the busy time is more than half a day. After five or six months, you can temporarily work odd jobs and work hard in the docks. There were a few silver pockets in the pockets, and after ten days and a half months, when the dock was not working, the young Chinese returned to the shacks in the settlement and bought one or two pounds of fat pork for the family. Elderly children try something new.

Western businessmen who live in the port inn, or appear in the port wharf a little part of the time, direct the coolies and Chinese folks to carry goods are generally dressed neatly, wearing black suits, dark sailor hats, and in order to adapt to Chinese customs, Foreign missionaries in Chinese and gentleman costumes, various Westerners, etc. appeared in Songkhla Port, and the cameramen who were transferred to Songkhla. They used the camera to record the battle scenes of the Nanyang Regiment troops for propaganda purposes. Photos of customs and customs as part of intelligence gathering.

The foreigners, the Chinese coolies on the dock, and the unkempt new immigrants who have just fled from the mainland. The same photo records three different pictures of life in the same era.

The Nanyang Corps garrison camp is more than ten miles away from Songkhla port. After the troops were dispatched here from the Natuna Islands, the soldiers stayed in the barracks most of the time, following the preparation orders issued by the officers, and conducted the final training and pre-war training. Trimming, and a small amount of leisure time, the soldiers will take turns out of the barracks, go to the pub in Songkhla port to order a table of dishes, greet the brothers in the same company and platoon to drink and chat, and by the way, experience that Songka is very different The customs of the Natuna Islands.

The area of ​​the Natuna Islands is only 2,300 square kilometers. The archipelago has been built as a large barracks by the Nanyang Legion. In addition to the regular army and militia of the Nanyang Legion stationed on the island, the rest are more than 3,000 Chinese people who live in the local area and 8,000 people. To Chinese immigrants ranging from 10,000 people, the Natuna Islands are the third immigration shelters in the Nanyang region. When migrant vessels encounter waves or are sick on board, the vessels will stop at the Natuna Islands nearby. Chinese immigrants for treatment and rehabilitation, as well as stopping ships to avoid stormy waves.

Chinese immigrants on the Natuna Islands generally stay for only three to five days. When the calm seas, the immigration fleet replenish a small amount of supplies, or the Chinese immigrants stranded on the island are in a stable condition, they will leave the island again.

Songkhla City is different. There are people and business people of all races and beliefs. The increasingly busy Songkhla port is filled with strange things that seem strange in this era. For example, foreigners will automatically tell the time. The clocks and watches, and the boat-to-boat rubber water shoes carried on the domestic merchant ships in Han, are comfortable and convenient to wear on your feet, and are not water permeable at all.

The Nanyang region has hot weather and abundant precipitation. There are many unknown small bugs in the jungle and water flowing from nearby rivers. These small bugs usually bring diseases such as dysentery and diarrhea. Many early Chinese immigrants have eaten bugs. Suffering. At first, the Chinese people were the cause of soil and water dissatisfaction. They didn't take it seriously and thought that tolerance would pass. Later, with the increase in the number of immigrants, even based on a small proportion of deaths caused by diseases, tens of thousands of immigrants In China, almost tens to a hundred people died, and the number of immigration deaths increased. The Han immigration agency also sent several Langs to check the incidence of the disease. Then, ten years later, the immigration agency experienced ten years of immigration experience. Explored and summarized, and gradually formulated a set of detailed and comprehensive immigration regulations, from the initial extensive immigration, to the use of current medical technology and shipping capacity to protect the lives of migrants as comprehensively as possible, and reduce deaths during migration rate.

Rubber-soled shoes and waterproof shoes are one of the most mature aspects of the domestic use of rubber in the chemical industry. In the 1880s and 1990s, the chemical industry started and developed. Compared with steel, electrical, and mechanical industries, Li Mingyuan, who came from a chemical engineering profession in his previous life, graduated as a soldier for two years, and only travelled abroad after leaving the army, knew more about the chemical industry. Therefore, he also gave the most suggestions in the field of rubber chemicals.

The initial stage is slightly behind that of Western countries, but because of the more detailed and clear technical solutions and guidance provided by Li Mingyuan, after the ten-year development period, the local Han country relied on rubber, dyes, pigments, textiles, refined salt refining and other aspects. The chemical industry has quickly surpassed competitors in the same industry in the West, and has reached the forefront of the current world in terms of technology reserves and practical transformation.

Chemical industry is one of the basic industrial systems juxtaposed with machinery manufacturing, iron and steel, coal, etc. Although chemical production will cause many pollution problems, the pollution generated by the chemical industry is not worth mentioning at present for the development of science and technology. In the chemical industry, Han was the earliest country to carry out practical production. In the future, the country ’s industrial technology will mature. After the shortcomings in various aspects of the industry have been completed, taking advantage of first-mover advantages, Han can also make advanced research in the field of environmental protection. On the one hand, it solves the local water pollution problem; on the other hand, it transfers highly polluting, heavily polluting enterprises that cannot be solved by technology at present to overseas colonies, territories, or other countries, while ensuring high profit margins and avoiding the local environment. Irrecoverable pollution.

科技 The advent of technology products such as waterproof rubber shoes, cameras, etc. has aroused the curiosity of the local Chinese in Songkhla and also enriched their lives.

The minimum guarantee for eating and drinking was solved. At the same time, in accordance with the sequence, the tickets for departure to South America were obtained, and the Chinese immigrants who stayed in Songkhla resolved their concerns. When the dock did not do any work, they also had the mood to take young children. , To the streets to see all kinds of weird things curious.

Songka Port has a limited number of merchant ships entering the port every day. Only a small number of tens of thousands of temporary workers who are full of food and regain their strength have good luck. Most of the young immigrants strolled at the dock for a long time. , Failed to find a suitable job, and then returned to the resettlement place empty-handed, sitting with the family on a large open space outside the shack, waiting for the immigration agency to cook porridge.

"The big guys have paid attention. The Nanyang Army recruits logistics migrant workers. They pay 200 yuan a day and settle once in ten days. Only 6,000 people are recruited. I want to apply for money!"

A group of soldiers in military uniforms came up in the open space at the resettlement site. A Han official in charge of resettlement came to the center of the open space and shouted loudly.

"Sir, can you change copper coins to Han silver or silver?" A man in the crowd summoned the courage and asked, "The price of copper coins against silver is the same every day. It is inconvenient and worthless to hold copper coins. It's easy to use. A Chinese silver dollar can buy 50 pounds of rice, which is more cost-effective than copper and silver. "

During the late Qing Dynasty, the financial system of the Manchu dynasty collapsed. One or two silvers could have been exchanged for one thousand copper coins and bought 80 pounds of rice. By the 1880s and 1990s, the silver and copper coins had depreciated sharply. UU reading www.uukanshu.com Purchasing power has fallen, and one or two silvers can usually be exchanged for three or four thousand silver dollars, or only 50 to 60 pounds of rice can be purchased.

The Han financial system is in a period of replacement of the gold standard and the silver standard. Both gold and silver can be circulated in the controlled area. According to the exchange ratio of the Han currency to other countries, a Han currency note or silver dollar has a denomination equal to 0.537 silver, but in actual purchasing power On the one hand, one won can buy 40 pounds of rice, which is equivalent to one or two silvers of 1.86 won, but can buy 74 pounds of rice. Therefore, from the analysis of actual purchasing power, we can understand that Chinese immigrants are more willing to accept the won than want The reason for the copper coins.

"Han yuan banknotes and silver dollars are available. Anyone who wants to change the wages to Han yuan can register at the logistics department after the construction period ends."

"I want to sign up, count 俺, 俺 strong body ..."

After listening to the other party's explanation, the following Chinese immigrants rushed to register.

"Go to the front line one by one, everyone has a chance, everyone don't worry." ... Looking at the crowd going forward, officials loudly directed the order of the open space.

大 "Master, two thousand Songkhla troops are ready, and the troops of two General Chen are all assembled outside Songkhla."

An unobtrusive location outside the open space of the resettlement site. Officials reported to Mei Dongxing.

让 "Let Wu Chengzhu and two general Chen wait at the barracks for a while. Within half an hour, I will rush to the barracks to meet and talk with them."
