Chapter 398: New Immigrants
The Japanese, Koreans, and Annamites who went to the Americas had to go to the Confucius Institute, and these Japanese and Annamite who had received Confucianism had already completely regarded themselves as Han Chinese, so they were eligible to get tickets to the Americas.
Japan's population density is high, farmland is small, Japanese farmers have been oppressed by the shogunate and samurai for a long time, and they are no longer happy, and the Ming Dynasty gave them a way to live: immigrate to the Americas, where there are endless fields, but if you want to immigrate to the Americas, you must first learn Chinese, wear Hanfu, and receive Han culture education.
As a result, as a result of these policies, a large number of Japanese people went to learn Chinese, automatically turned themselves into Japanese, and enthusiastically immigrated to the Americas. After all, earlier, when there were no policy restrictions, many Japanese who immigrated to the Americas returned to China to visit relatives, and it can be said that they returned home, bringing back luxury canned beef and fish, wearing silk clothes, and going home to reward the pocket money for the children in their hometown. Stimulated by previous immigration, a wave of immigrants has been set off in Japan.
If this trend continues, it will only take another fifty years for the country of Japan to cease to exist, and then they will cry and beg to join the Ming Dynasty. Even if Da Ming chased them away with a stick, he couldn't drive them away.
The situation in Korea was slightly different from that of Japan, which was ravaged by the Manchus, high taxes, and later the issuance of paper money by the Manchus, which almost deprived the Korean kingdom of its centuries-old wealth.
Especially the Great Qing Dragon Banknote, the loss caused by the brittle North Korea can be said to be immeasurable, the Great Qing Dragon Banknote has been forced to be used by the North Koreans since it was issued, and it has been depreciating since it was issued, this kind of banknote, like a vampire, turned the wealth of the North Koreans into the Manchu government. Now that the Manchu Qing Dynasty has collapsed, the eight Jin merchants who issued the dragon banknotes of the Great Qing Dynasty have also collapsed, and the Korean wealth plundered by the Manchus and Jin merchants using paper money has fallen into the hands of the Ming Dynasty.
But of course, it was impossible for the Ming to return this wealth to the Koreans.
The Korean people are struggling to make a living, and the only way to survive is to choose to immigrate to the Americas.
Look at Annan again, although Annam has a lot of arable land, and can grow three crops of rice a year, and the grain output is extremely high, but because Wang Yu, the criminal imperialist colonial leader, leased a military port in Annam, and immigrated a large number of Han people to Annam, the current Annam, like other colonized Southeast Asian countries, is divided into a four-class system, the first class of people is naturally Han, the second class is the surrendered former Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banner soldiers and the Japanese who immigrated to Annam, after years of assimilation, they are also similar to the Han people, There are also people from Europe who are also classified as second-class people, because of the needs of trade, Europeans can help Wang Yu earn a lot of money, so they are also classified as second-class people; The third class of people are the local people of Sinicization, and the fourth class of people are the local indigenous people.
Neither the third nor the fourth class of people have their own land in the local area, so they either rent farmland for the first and second class of people, or work in factories of the first and second class people.
The notorious fourth-class system in Annam and Southeast Asia is still not comparable to the fifth-class system in the South Asian subcontinent. In the South Asian subcontinent, the occupiers who went to the South Asian subcontinent by the Ming Dynasty have all become Brahmins and Kshatriyas, and the original third-class people, fourth-class people, and untouchables are still in their original status, and they have not changed at all.
Not only that, Wang Yu also adopted the method of buying women, spending silver to buy a large number of Annan women, and a young woman exchanged for a front-loading smoothbore gun worth five taels of silver.
A large number of women were bought and sent to the colonies of the Ming Dynasty, Annan is about to have no marriageable women, and now in Annan, the first and second class people have three wives and four concubines, and there are groups of wives and concubines in the family, but the third and fourth class people, if they want to marry a woman with three hands or even four or five hands, it is a luxury.
In order to pass on the lineage, Annan's men had no choice but to immigrate to the Americas.
The conditions are the same as for the Japanese to immigrate to the Americas, and they must receive a Chinese education to be eligible for a ferry ticket. Although they must learn Chinese, after Sinicization education, their children and grandchildren may forget that they were once Annanite, but after going to the Americas, they will become first-class Han people, and when they go home in the future, they can also have three wives and four concubines.
Nguyen Van Hung was a native of Annam, and it was in Annam that he boarded a merchant ship bound for Shanghai. After arriving in Shanghai, he transferred to the ironclad ship Li Dingguo.
This huge ironclad ship shocked Ruan Van Hung, and he secretly rejoiced in his heart: Fortunately, I am about to become a Han Chinese, this warship is our Ming warship, there is such a behemoth, which country in this world is an enemy?
Although the Annamites were eligible to immigrate to the Americas on the warships of the Ming Dynasty, they could only fly in the sweltering bilge.
The fleet crossed the Pacific Ocean and, after more than a month of sailing, finally arrived in San Francisco.
At this time, San Francisco was still a small port, but many people came here to pan for gold and make a fortune.
After the fleet sent Li Sixing, Jin Tongwu and 5,000 Han troops and more than 5,000 Japanese and Annam immigrants to the American continent, the fleet continued southward.
Nguyen Van Hung went ashore, and Tranh Ching, who had established power here, personally led the people to welcome the new immigrants.
At present, Zheng Jing has only four cities in his hands: San Francisco (San Francisco), Dongbin (Vancouver), Yanping City (Seattle) and Golden River City (Los Angeles). At present, although the United States has three provinces, the population is only more than 300,000, and among these 300,000 people, less than 100,000 are real Han Chinese, and the rest are Japanese, Annamite, Korean, and Manchu and Mongolian.
The American continent was not peaceful, and Western countries such as England, France, Spain, the Netherlands, Portugal, the Holy Roman Empire, and the Ottoman Turkish Empire were all fighting over this land.
The British have already defeated the Spanish and Dutch, Portugal and the Holy Roman Empire have little power in the Americas, and Ottoman Turkey is on fire in its own backyard and is being fattened by Russia, so how can it care about this? The protagonists currently vying for the stars on the American continent are England and France.
According to Wang Yu's plan, Han Chinese immigrants to this continent should support England. In real history, the United States of America became independent only because of the support of the French.
The current Ming Dynasty and England are also allies, not only supporting England in defeating France, Spain, and the Netherlands on the American continent, but also supporting England's wars against France and the Holy Roman Empire on the European continent.
You must know that France is not without allies, and in order to curb the expansion of England's power, countries such as France, the Holy Roman Empire, and Russia have also formed alliances.
Seeing that a world war was about to break out, these new immigrants to the Americas did not feel the shadow of world war at all.
