The Han government's immigration work mainly targeted Chinese people. However, because of the imbalance in the domestic male-to-female ratio, starting from the "already great disaster" that broke out in northern Korea in 1870, the Han government established a settlement on Tamna Island in the Kingdom of Korea.
trading base, recruiting North Korean female refugees from North Pyongan Province, South Pyongan Province and other places.
In the next few years from 1870, both Korea and the mainland suffered a very rare major famine. The Korean victims, who had no harvest in their farmland, could not endure the pain of hunger. They had a desire to survive rather than starve to death, so they had to accept the rule of the Han Dynasty.
According to the request, his daughter and female relatives were handed over to the Han caravan stationed on Tamna Island, and then transported to the Han mainland by the fleet, or they ventured into the Northeast region to survive under the threat of bandits and Qing officers and soldiers.
North Korean officials adopted a default attitude when faced with refugees fleeing the country. Because of the proximity to northern North Korea, initially few North Korean female refugees were willing to immigrate to Han, tens of thousands of miles away. Later, as a large number of Korean women armed with foreign guns suddenly emerged in the Northeast,
Bandits carried out targeted plundering of North Korean refugees. The North Korean female refugees whose lives were threatened had no choice but to choose a safer way to survive and agreed to immigrate to South America.
The severe drought in North Korea that lasted for several years has created a large number of young refugees. However, because the number of refugees in the mainland is much larger, Li Mingyuan is not interested in accepting North Korean male refugees. Then he exerts the spirit of brotherly nations and one family and spends a lot of energy to bring them in.
They were assimilated into the Han people or allowed to live in the Han Kingdom as Koreans.
North Korea's immigration operations are limited to fertile women under the age of thirty-five. Counting from the departure of the first batch of fleets transporting North Korean female immigrants, the Han Dynasty conducted 24 batches of immigrants in North Korea.
During the operation, a total of about 30,000 North Korean women were transported.
The scale of the operation to transport North Korean women was small. The number of North Korean women arriving in Han in each batch was not large. Moreover, as the drought in North Korea gradually eased, the number of North Korean women willing to immigrate to Han was getting smaller and smaller. Therefore, and the scale
Compared with the large number of Chinese female immigrants, Korean female immigrants have received very little attention. Yang Guangzong, Wang Ergou and others know very little about the contents of the Korean immigration movement. Only the coachman named Zeng has relatives who are sailors in the fleet.
, was able to learn some details about transporting North Korean women.
Korean women chose to immigrate to Han Dynasty out of survival instinct, while Japanese women went to Southeast Asia to sell their bodies as a source of income for the Japanese government to obtain reforms.
Japan has many mountainous areas, few fertile fields, volcanoes, earthquakes and other geological disasters that frequently erupt, and because Japan lacks a reborn person like Li Mingyuan who can use the advantage of foresight to bring wealth support to Japan's reform reforms, therefore, in order to obtain the necessary resources for the reform reforms,
In order to obtain the funds needed, the Japanese government on the one hand raises taxes to squeeze the economic value of domestic people in the name of achieving national prosperity. On the other hand, it encourages Japanese women to go overseas and use the money earned from selling their bodies to support national construction.
In the second half of the 19th century, Nanyang was the core region of the colonial powers in Asia. A large number of Chinese who went abroad to seek a living had accumulated a considerable amount of capital after hard work in the early stage. Stimulated by the economic interests of the Chinese going to Nanyang, businessmen
The controlled Japanese women quickly poured into Nanyang and soon became the main force of prostitutes in Nanyang. They also used the characteristics of gentle and submissive Japanese women to earn a lot of money from Chinese laborers.
When Japanese women poured into Nanyang in large numbers, the Han Dynasty had already completed its layout of the Nanyang region. The Taiping Society, a peripheral intelligence organization affiliated with the Ministry of National Defense, integrated the Nanyang Chinese forces. In the Nanyang region, it was the most powerful force besides the great powers.
power.
Not only did the Taiping Hui have more than 100,000 civilian armed forces scattered throughout Southeast Asia, but also with the support of the Han Dynasty, the Taiping Hui also had a core armed force of nearly 10,000 people.
Each of the nearly 10,000 armed militiamen is equipped with a Han-made imitation Dresser rifle and 20 hand grenades. They are set up in a secret warehouse deep in the jungle, containing 200,000 rounds of rifle bullets and 100 additional rifles.
Tling machine guns, thirty-five 75mm field guns, and supply equipment such as medicine, food cans, and artillery ammunition.
In Southeast Asia, especially in the Kalimantan area, various forces such as indigenous princes and the Lanfang Company are mixed together. Both the British and the Dutch have extremely weak control over the controlled areas.
Originally, the Dutch relied on indigenous servants to manage their colonies on the island of Kalimantan. Later, Nanyang Chinese workers and Chinese businessmen, who had been massacred many times by the indigenous people, united to report to the Taiping Society and requested the Taiping Society to avenge the massacred Chinese compatriots.
So relying on the seven to eight million Nanyang Chinese, various branches of the Taiping Society, which had grown stronger, launched retaliatory attacks on the indigenous tribes under the order of the leader Liang Xing.
Kuching, Sibu, Pontianak, Samarinda, Sandakan... Twenty indigenous tribes in areas where Chinese indigenous people live in mixed areas on Kalimantan suffered strong attacks from Chinese armed forces. More than 3,000 people were killed.
The indigenous people were killed in the conflict. Eleven native kings were killed in retaliation by the Chinese forces. Their heads were cut off and hung on the roadside to deter the indigenous tribes.
Without using the weapons in stock, the subordinates of the Taiping Society used homemade bows and arrows, forged long knives, red tassel guns and other cold weapons to teach the Nanyang natives a profound lesson. At the same time, the united Chinese also aroused the attention of the Dutch.
After assessing the huge losses that might be caused by suppressing the Chinese, they gave up the strategy of inciting the natives to massacre the Chinese again, and instead reduced the oppression and exploitation of the Chinese in some aspects in an attempt to maintain the stability of the colony.
The Pacific-led retaliatory action against the indigenous people demonstrated the strength of the Nanyang Chinese. When Japanese businessmen planned to send Japanese women into the Nanyang region, they first approached the principals of the various affiliated branches of the Nanyang region for discussion. Finally, after consultation,
The two parties reached an agreement that the Taiping Society would ensure the safety of Japanese prostitutes controlled by Japanese businessmen, and at the same time, Japanese businessmen would not prevent Japanese prostitutes from immigrating to Han.
No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. Although Japanese women who sell their bodies have some shortcomings, Japanese women who are also located in East Asia are more in line with the aesthetic values of the Han people than Annan women. Therefore, after the two parties reached an agreement, hundreds or thousands of Japanese women sold their bodies every year.
Chinese women in the Taiping Society were encouraged to immigrate to Han. In addition to women who had received Chinese workers, there were also Japanese women who had just arrived in Nanyang and had not yet sold their bodies. They immigrated to Han in South America and then married soldiers or low-level officers in the National Defense Forces.
