"Your Majesty, following the first batch of Annan Chinese to evacuate from the Nanyang Army, the Annan women set off in the middle of last month. It is expected that the fleet has arrived in the South Pacific waters now. The scale of this transport fleet is the largest in two years. The entire fleet
Divided into four batches, a total of about 320 large and medium-sized transport ships carried about 46,000 immigrants.
I am worried that the Haizhou Yishui Port expansion project has not yet been completed, and may it be difficult to ensure the supply of supplies for more than 40,000 people at one time?"
In the Zhongji Hall, the head of the household department opened his mouth and said.
"What is the total number of people who need to be relocated in Annan?"
"According to the data provided by Mr. Mei, from mid-July this year to January 1883, a total of 600,000 Chinese people, 360,000 Annan women of school age, 6,000 regular Nanyang Army troops, and 18,000 Nanyang garrison troops needed to be relocated in Annan.
, militiamen, and about 800 Annan officials and their families who are willing to defect to the mainland."
"Liu Pu, how many empty ships can the ocean shipping company free up for the Annan immigration transportation operation?"
From 1878 to 1880, Han's local ocean-going immigrant shipping capacity was able to transport an average of 390,000 to 430,000 immigrants every year. In the next two years, the local government in Annan alone will need to bear the burden of transporting 1 million immigrants.
The scale of the mission has exceeded the upper limit of the average transportation capacity of Han China in the past two years.
"Ocean Shipping Company currently has 367 transport ships of various types under its name. However, because Ocean Shipping Company mainly takes African routes, most of the company's ships are assigned to African routes. Currently, there are approximately 367 ocean-going ships that can be used to transfer South Pacific routes.
Less than 100 ships.”
"Stop some of the African route tasks, redeploy 50 medium-sized transport ships, increase the number of ships of the ocean shipping company in the South Pacific route to 150, and send a notice to local companies engaged in shipping, telling them that the government will temporarily
Vessels with ocean-going shipping capabilities will be requisitioned to transport immigrants from Annan. After the immigration operation is completed, the government will pay employment fees to companies according to market standard prices."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will go and do it tomorrow."
"The collection of ocean-going transport ships should start with the South Pacific Shipping Company. My father-in-law ordered forty medium-sized ocean-going transport ships from China, Germany, France, etc. the year before last. Now the South Pacific Shipping Company has large and small ships.
There are more than a hundred ships. Let's requisition his ships first to set an example for other local shipping companies. I believe my father-in-law will cooperate with the government's work."
"Zhang Guozhang understands the righteousness well and has taken the lead in investing a lot of money in various industries in the past two years to support national construction. As long as His Majesty's order to requisition ocean-going ships is announced, Zhang Guozhang will definitely take the initiative to implement it."
"The Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Finance, and the Second Fleet of the Navy must coordinate various matters regarding immigration transportation operations and bring back the Chinese stranded in the Annan area and the Annan women who are willing to naturalize as soon as possible.
Although the local government signed a reconciliation agreement with the French, King Annan was old and sick. The Annan government army was frightened by the French colonial army during the war with Han France, and then withdrew from Annan together with the Nanyang Army. Once King Annan died of illness,
The French colonists are very likely to violate the agreement signed with the local government and send troops to attack northern Annam in advance. Therefore, the navy and Nanyang Army must prepare a response plan for the worst case scenario in advance. On the one hand, they must do their best to complete the immigration relocation task, and on the other hand, they must
On the one hand, sufficient officers and soldiers were left in Lang Son and Quang Ninh provinces until the beginning of 1883, when the agreement came into effect, and then the last remaining Nanyang Army troops stationed in Annam were evacuated."
Annan is an important transit channel for immigrants from South America. It can delay France's annexation of Annan later, and South America can get more Chinese immigrants and Annan-age women. Moreover, compared with ordinary Chinese male immigrants, the Beishan area can
The Annan female immigrants brought to the native land are even more important.
The imbalance of the gender ratio between men and women is a problem that every immigration country has to face. In the past ten years or so, Annan has sent about 500,000 women of working age to the native land. After these women married Chinese men, they brought two more people to the native land.
Three million newborns, but as the dust has settled in the Annan region, the 360,000 Annan school-age women reported by Mei Dongxing are the last batch of female immigrants that South America can obtain from the Annan region. In the future, imagine the Annan region.
, it is almost impossible to obtain a large number of foreign female immigrants of the same yellow race every year.
The 360,000 Annan women account for about 20% of the total number of women of school age in Annan. Li Mingyuan and local government officials at all levels can guess that not all Annan women who migrated to the mainland are voluntary. In order to solve the problem of local Chinese youth
It is easy to guess what methods officials at all levels in the Nanyang region and the Annan officials affiliated with the Nanyang Corps will adopt to achieve the wish of the strong men to get married.
But on the other hand, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, if they can migrate to South America, their future life will definitely be much better than in Annan under French colonial rule. Most of the young people in South America have experienced simple literacy education.
, at the same time, the local laws and regulations are relatively complete, women and children can be properly protected by the law, and the husband will not arbitrarily punish his wife like in the Annan region.
When talking about the transportation and resettlement of Annan immigrants, Li Mingyuan thought of some underage girls among the Annan women who migrated, so he continued to remind: “The physical resistance of underage girls is worse than that of adults, so for those under ten years of age,
For four-year-old Annamese girls, the Nanyang Army Corps and the Navy's department in charge of immigration transportation must take hygiene and disease prevention measures, separate them from ordinary Annamese adult women, and arrange a separate batch of transport ships to place them in order to minimize the transportation process.
, personnel loss rate.”
"Your Majesty, some Annan girls migrated to the mainland with their mothers and families. Do they also need to be separated from their families?"
"Forget it if you have relatives or family members. As for the Annan girls who take a boat to the local area alone, it is better to be separated from ordinary transport ships."
"I understand your Majesty's intention. After coming to court, I will send a telegram to Governor Mei, asking them to take more care of the Annan girls and try to provide them with adequate safety and health protection."
"There is no room for sloppiness in the issue of immigration transportation and resettlement, especially after the Annan girls arrive in the mainland. The Ministry of Household Affairs, together with the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Education and other departments, must do a good job in resettlement. Annan girls between the ages of 8 and 14 are absolutely not allowed to move without permission.
If their ages are tampered with and they are illegally married off to young native Chinese, once discovered, the officials and people involved will be severely dealt with, and the relevant government departments that do not provide adequate supervision will also be held accountable."
“I would like to assure your Majesty that all Annan girls who go through the naturalization procedures through the Ministry of Household Affairs will be recorded and recorded. If there is any problem in any link, without your Majesty having to say it, I will deal with the officials involved immediately and then voluntarily resign from the position of Director-General of the Household Department.
"
"The Ministry of Education will provide basic adaptive education to Annan girls as soon as possible, and there will never be any incident that worries His Majesty."
The heads of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Education expressed their opinions one after another.
"It is good to be determined, but you must ensure that everything is done. Before the local officialdom was rectified, it was not uncommon to tamper with the age of Annan girls and privately force Annan women to marry local young people. Now, although the local officialdom environment is greatly improved,
Improvement, but all aspects of front-line rural areas still need to be improved."
Li Mingyuan's expression softened slightly and he said, "Since the establishment of the emperor, there have been many government affairs, and inspections of various areas in the mainland have been delayed time and time again. Since nothing major has happened recently, I plan to take the queen and concubine to inspect various places in the mainland.
It’s good to have a closer look at the actual development situation in the local area.”………………
