Chapter 895: The Unprecedented Great Immigration
Lin Weiye smacked it for a long time before he came back to his senses: "I'll rub, aren't you the king of the mountain, the country within the country?" Bullying the imperial court for not setting up an official government in Taiwan, and getting some people to set up their own doors in the past? β
Xia Nan pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "How can you say that? I drove out the red hair and the Spaniards for the imperial court, and also immigrated to reclaim the famine, this is to open up the territory for the Ming Dynasty! β
"Uh...... Just pretend! Lin Weiye had already seen through the cheeky and black face of this good friend, and he had to pretend to be righteous and awe-inspiring when he had a bad stomach.
Sima De's eyes lit up when he heard Xia Nan's words, and he praised: "What the general said is very right. There is no name of the government, but there is the reality of the government, which can indeed attract many aspiring scholars to go to sea to have a future. β
The road to the imperial examination of the feudal dynasty is more difficult than the current college entrance examination, it is a real army of thousands of horses crossing a single-plank bridge, among the thousands of scholars, it is rare to be able to take the examination, and the title of the high school jinshi and the gold list is even more one in a million, and the proportion of officials who pass the imperial examination is very low, and the number of people who have passed the examination at all levels is innumerable. Many people have no hope of becoming officials through normal channels, so the eight immortals cross the sea to show their magical powers, and those who have conditions can enter the national prison, and those who do not have conditions can only be miscellaneous officials through recommendation and selection, but basically there is no possibility of rising.
Even so, there are still many scholars who can't even get into the exams in their lives, and they can't even mix with miscellaneous officials, and those who have a solid family background are fine, and those with a bad family background may not even be able to eat. If at this time, they are given a chance to cross the ocean to "become officials", I believe that many people are willing to try.
Chatting while walking, we soon arrived at Tianjin Wei.
Xu Zhong, the commander of Tianjin Wei, had already learned the news, and hurried over to greet him, and respectfully greeted him: "Xiaguan welcomes Ping Nanbo's triumphant return!" β
Pan Da jumped out to correct: "Commander Xu, you are wrong, now you are the Marquis of Pingnan, not the Bo of Pingnan, and his old man is now a general, a prince and a young master, and a governor of the left, and he has reached several levels!" β
Pan ...... Master Pan? Xu Zhong looked at Panda dumbfounded, speechless in surprise. When the Tartar army passed through Tianjin Wei, Panda secretly heard about the affairs of Xia Nan, and he also heard about it, and the burning of the granary alarmed the entire Tianjin Wei, these two people should be enemies who are very angry when they see each other, why is the relationship so close? And it seems that Panda, who was born as a Kedao official and has always been dismissive of military attachΓ©s, actually claims to be a subordinate, what is going on?
Pan Da saw his doubts, snorted, and said: "This official was once bewitched by a traitor and offended Pingnanhou, but his old man doesn't remember villains, and the prime minister can support the boat in his belly. β
Xu Zhong was a little dizzy, and the turn of things was a little crazy, completely beyond his cognition, was this still Panda he had known for a few years? And it's not scientific for a soldier to give up this very "lucrative" position and run errands for a general! He was almost on the verge of blurting out and asking what was going on, satisfying his curiosity.
However, many years of officialdom have taught him that in the system, don't be curious if you shouldn't be curious, don't inquire about what you shouldn't inquire, you never know what kind of shady things are behind the scenes, and many times, the less you know, the better. He resisted the urge and saluted again: "Xiaguan has seen Pingnanhou!" β
Xia Nan replied with a smile: "Everyone is an acquaintance, don't see each other like this." Don't take Panda's words too seriously, those false titles are just things outside of your body. β
Xu Zhong replied respectfully: "Xia Guan knows." "But the river and the sea are turned in my heart, I give full marks for this forced pretend!
From Tianjin to the capital, it took less than ten days to go back and forth, and the title and title of this lord were changed all over again, and the title of this general had never been heard of, and he didn't know how to do it. In terms of titles and titles alone, Xia Nan seems to be the first military general since his accession to the throne today, not to mention the Chongzhen Dynasty, even if the Apocalypse and Taichang Dynasties combined, there has never been such a bullish character. But people came to the fluttering sentence "The false title is just something outside the body", which made him embarrassed by the hereditary commander of the guard and never had the opportunity to be promoted?
Xia Nan didn't know Xu Zhong's thoughts, all he was thinking about now was how to settle 100,000 people and how to establish a grassroots political power in Taiwan, and the premise of doing these well was to send 100,000 people from Tianjin to the sea safely. He said to Xu Zhong: "Commander Xu, everyone is so familiar, I won't be polite to you, I want to ask you for help if I have something......
Xu Zhong hurriedly said: "Please ask Pingnanhou to give orders, and the lower officials will do their best." β
"I want to transport a large number of people from Tianjin to the sea and send them to Taiwan for reclamation, which will take a long time before and after, and I would like to ask for your ......strong cooperation."
Although Tianjin Wei has set up some government offices, it is still essentially an acropolis with military functions as the mainstay, and it is still the Wei commander, the soldier Beidao and others who speak effectively, so a large number of people must cooperate with these local snakes when they cross the border. And after Panda's fate took a 180-degree turn, the Yamen of Bingbei Dao was temporarily ownerless, and the only person who spoke to Tianjin Wei was Xu Zhong.
Xu Zhong was flattered, nodded and replied: "Whatever Pingnanhou says, as long as he can use the lower officials, he will naturally do his best, and he can't afford the word 'please'." But what kind of place is this Taiwan, he can't remember for a while, "It's just that the officials of this 'Taiwan' have never heard of it, could it be that Taixi is an overseas place?" β
Xia Nan patted his head and forgot that it was not called Taiwan at this time. He explained: "It's Dongfan Island! β
"I see." Xu Zhong suddenly realized, "Please rest assured, Pingnanhou, I will immediately go to gather my subordinates to assist your department." β
The unprecedented migration began, and there was no precedent in history to transport so many people by sea at one time, and Zheng Zhilong's immigration from Fujian did not have such a large scale back then. Under Xia Nan's baton, the Qiong Navy and Tianjin Wei were all in operation and engaged in this immigration operation.
The small acropolis could not accommodate so many people, so the Qiong navy built a temporary shack outside the city for the people to live temporarily. The soldiers of the brigade were distributed on the periphery, loaded with guns and ammunition, and the lights were bright at night and kept all night to prevent the people from escaping all night.
Pan Da dug up his old subordinates from the temporarily ownerless military garrison road yamen, and together with the people of the Qiong navy, sat at the city gate, and became the "deputy commander of the immigration work headquarters", arranging for the immigrants to enter the port in batches and board the ship.
