"Have all these people done ideological work?" Wang Dazhuang, who has been officially promoted to the acting head of Hexi Township, stood on the roof, looking at the more than 1,000 Kechua aborigines standing densely not far away, and said with a worried face.

The Quechua were given three sets of cotton clothes, but few of them wore them, and most of them kept them in their tattered packages, their hair disheveled, and their faces full of confusion and fear. Occasionally, some young men had a fierce look on their faces, but under the threat of the bright bayonets of the soldiers of the East Coast Garrison, they shrank like quails again, and those who dared to make trouble before they dared to make trouble had basically been executed, and the rest of the people dared not be vigilant?

These Quechuas had been captured by the East Coasters for various reasons in the last year, and then placed in a newly opened collective farm for "discipline training". The so-called discipline training is actually to adapt these Quechua people to the settled farming life and learn some basic agricultural skills: sowing, hoeing, fertilizing, harvesting, livestock feeding, etc.

Don't underestimate how difficult these basic agricultural skills are for these extremely uncivilized Quechuas. In fact, they did not study well and were often verbally abused and beaten by the East Coast military and police. At the very beginning, Wang Dazhuang, who was in charge of the work here, had hoped that these Quechua people would be able to adapt and get used to this new life within a year, but the reality gave him a resounding slap in the face. Wang Dazhuang's hopes that they will make a major change in just one year seem a little too optimistic.

But it doesn't matter, they are not their native people from Hexi Township or even the east bank, but pioneers who have long been internally sent to the Yicheng area of South Africa. When they get there, they will basically still be incorporated into the farming and warfare system of the Eight Banners of the island, and someone will control them, so it should be much better For the tribe or tribe in terms of civilization, only this method is the most reliable.

Some people may ask, didn't the Indians on the South American continent exile them to South Africa, New China, Australia and even the Far East in the past? Why is there a separate exile in South Africa now, and is there some change in policy?

In fact, the answer is to say with certainty, yes, that's right, the policy changed several years ago! Because some of the bigwigs in the executive committee believe that the South African region is a major stake, which is related to the deployment and future development of the country's overall strategy, so it must be operated as a top priority. And now that it is operated as a core home, many of the black residents who remain south of the southern African dividing line, commonly known as the "yellow-black divide", are very unsightly.

You must know that in the more than 50 years on the East Coast, the number of blacks who have been granted citizenship is even less than 100, and all of them have made significant contributions, and it can be said that they are the elite and outstanding among blacks. And how can those blacks who came to settle in South Africa one after another during the southward migration of Bantu blacks get East Coast citizenship? What I didn't say, I could only violently clean it up!

And in order to fill the void left by the arrest and expulsion of these blacks, the East Coast naturally had to fill it in to actually occupy the land. Otherwise, the land is deserted for thousands of miles, and it will not be long before the blacks return and multiply, and that will be troublesome. Therefore, in order to reduce this trouble, the central government decided to give greater autonomy to the islands under the jurisdiction of the New China Pioneer Team, allowing them to go to the African continent and firmly nail them to the buffer zone between the control area on the east coast and the black activity area, and capture and kill black people while cultivating and grazing their cattle. Blacks can be used to exchange money and all kinds of materials for the East Coast, and the occupied land will be requisitioned by the East Coast government in the future to requisition it for the resettlement of new immigrants, the conditions are still quite good, of course, these islands and eight banners have no choice, they can only obey the arrangements of the East Coasters.

The native Indians on the East Coast were mostly arranged to be cultivated on second-tier wasteland due to various factors. The places where they work are still state collective farms, which are managed by cadres and militias sent by the local government of South Africa, and the harvest is also paid for by the local government. Basically, these Indians, like indentured slaves from Europe, had to work for five years on collective farms for low pay before they could obtain an identity certificate issued by the East Bank government and become East Bank nationals.

Of course, a small number of brave and warlike Indians can be immediately incorporated into the samurai system of the Eight Banners of the island to make up for the war damage, and they can basically obtain citizenship immediately if they have fought for a year and are not dead, just like the soldiers of the mercenary forces such as the Protector Army, the Loyal Army, and the Protector Army that have been abolished by the East Coast government over the years.

From the above arrangement, it can be seen how discriminatory the East Coast people are against people with darker skin! Even in order to fill a large number of empty spaces in southern Africa, they have become "hungry" to the point that even the Indians and Malays do not let go, and I wonder if the Dutch and the English will laugh off their big teeth when they come to see it. Even the Portuguese in Mozambique next door were a little puzzled, believing that the East Coasters did not take prisoners as their first goal in the fight to eliminate blacks, and that it was often like a race war, which was a little unacceptable.

"Township Chief Wang, how can ideological work be so easy to do?" The head of the township armed forces with a yellow mouth smiled and said: "After dealing with the Indians for so many years, their temperament is basically the same. It is a natural freedom, a tropical unfettered life, very unrestrained, and the Spaniards probably understand this more than we do. In short, these characteristics are common to low-civilization and low-organized tribes, who have no ability to build institutions, are ignorant of real power, and therefore very much avert a comfortable sedentary life. So, it's a bit difficult to get through their work. ”

"So how did the Spaniards control so many Indians in Paraguay?" Wang Dazhuang suddenly asked again.

This question is a bit tricky, and after thinking for a while, the Minister of Armed Forces said with some doubts: "That must have taken many years, right?" Those Spanish missionaries opened the way with religion, and the entry point was much better than ours with bayonets, so they could gain the trust of the local natives, and then digest it in a hundred years, it should be possible. But on our east coast, it is clear that such conditions do not exist, and the Indians are like a hot potato, except for a few who are lucky enough to stay and live in the homeland, most of them will be exiled to overseas colonies to be cultivated, and no one has ever tried to prove anything on the mainland. ”

"Well, let's hope they can make it to the other side of the sea, start a new life, and continue to thrive. And until then, I hope that they will be well taken care of along the way, especially the women and children, and that food must not be withheld, and that your escorts will not do anything to oppress the good and cause an undeserved humanitarian disaster, understand? Wang Dazhuang looked at the Quechuas who were slowly walking towards the dock under the urging of the cavalry, and suddenly turned to the armed forces minister and admonished: "I know that some of your men have a very bad style, and they have been selected to serve as escort soldiers this time, but I hope that you can beat them again before they leave this dock, so that they do not do whatever they want, so that they will cause uncontrollable trouble." ”

"I'll take notice." The Minister of Armed Forces replied with some embarrassment, but in order not to continue on this awkward topic, he quickly moved on to something else: "Recently, our men and horses have been attacking the Quechua tribe in all directions, clearing a large area of relative safety for later immigrants. With such a drastic action, the Spaniards shouldn't have wasted to this extent, don't you know? Why haven't they come to protest to us yet? ”

"How do you know there's no protest? It's just that I didn't look for low-level officials like us, but went directly to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Wang Dazhuang glanced at the head of the township armed forces, and then continued: "And the situation on the European continent has also changed somewhat subtly recently, the French have become more and more powerful, and have begun to exert their strength in the South Netherlands and Franche-Comté regions, and there is a risk of another large-scale war. Many European merchants rumored that the Ottomans strongly condemned the French for reneging on the Covenant, and when the Austrian army invaded the territory of the Ottoman Empire, they did not send troops to contain it, causing the empire to suffer many undue losses. Louis XIV of France may have been overwhelmed by this, and the main Austrian army was pinned down in Turkey, so Louis planned to take advantage of the opportunity to expand in the South Netherlands or the Rhine valley to seize this golden opportunity. ”

Wang Dazhuang didn't say anything more when he said this, but the meaning was actually very clear, the Kingdom of France, which had a strong army, had the ambition of expansion again, so the Kingdom of Spain, as its neighbor, was naturally very nervous. In the rich Dutch lowlands, they had lost the seven Protestant-dominated northern provinces, and the remaining ten southern provinces could not be lost in any way, although their contribution to taxes had been gradually reduced by the squeeze of the United Provinces.

And the Kingdom of Spain is in this situation, and naturally can only turn a blind eye to some things that are happening in the distant southern New World, who has made the East Coast the most reliable "ally" of their outdated country? It is difficult to say whether the Kingdom of Spain would have lost in a possible war waged by the French without the guns, military supplies, food, and various guidance provided by the people from the east coast.

From this point of view, the people of the East Coast should have given King Louis XIV a one-ton medal in recognition of his "outstanding contributions" to the easing and promotion of relations between the East and the West. Without them as a big-stirring stick, it is not impossible for the people of the East Coast to cut the flesh from the Kingdom of Spain piece by piece, but it certainly will not be as easy as it is now.

"So, sooner or later, the Chaco Plains will also be in our pockets?" The head of the township armed forces immediately said excitedly: "Also, the above has mobilized so many reservists here, naturally not for the purpose of training. It's really ruthless to think about it, there is so much idle land in the northern part of Brazil that has not been developed, so they go to the Spaniards to eat meat, haha. ”

"Do your job better. The question of Chaco's status is already being discussed with the Spaniards. But this will not be easy, because once the Chaco plain is lost, the densely populated and relatively rich Paraguay region will become a bit of a lonely enclave, so how can the Spaniards cope with themselves? Therefore, this kind of negotiation is destined to be full of twists and turns, and we don't have to worry so much, let's do our own pioneering work. Wang Dazhuang finally concluded.
