Chapter 1417: New Colony
When Liu Shang was in Sanya, he had taken time to study the history of the Haihan family, and his understanding of this country was much deeper than that of his counterparts in the Ming Dynasty, and he knew that the foreign military methods of the Haihan were only tools to attack opponents and conquer territory, and the process of turning these looted lands into oneself was mainly completed through a steady stream of immigration and migration activities. Moving the natives away, bringing in people from other places, and then establishing local rulers was a trick used by the Haihan in almost every overseas colony.
And the effect of this set of measures is of course obvious, and the many areas that Haihan have occupied in various coastal areas over the past few years have not heard of a major repetition. The territory newly occupied by Haihan in Liaodong, as well as the southern part of Jinzhou, which was to be prepared to be taken by the army, was also obviously intended to follow the old practice.
Liu Shang had experienced first-hand Haihan's strong organizational and maritime transportation capabilities, and he was not too surprised by the plan to send thousands of people to Lushun in a short period of time. He believed that as long as Haihan was willing, even if tens of thousands of people were looted in the Denglai area and forcibly relocated to Liaodong, it could be done. Of course, this could lead to chaos in Denglai, which is certainly not a sight that Haihan, who needs to keep Shandong at peace, wants to see.
Liu Shang can't speculate on the specific plans of the Haihan high-level for Lushun for the time being, but with the natural port of Lushunkou, Liu Shang believes that it is not a problem to build a commercial port or a military port here in the future. When he landed the day before yesterday, he carefully observed the situation of Port Arthur, the geographical conditions of this harbor are far better than the ports operated by Haihan in Shandong, Zhejiang and other places, and it is indeed a tyrannical thing to stay in the hands of Houjin, and now it is occupied by Haihan, it is time to really play the role of this place. Of course, everything will have to wait until there is enough labor here to start implementation.
The civil affairs and shipping departments were more efficient than Liu Shang had imagined, and two days later, the first group of migrants from Shandong arrived at Port Arthur by boat. The more than 700 immigrants were divided into four migrant ships, in addition to four Yugong-class cargo ships transporting supplies and food, and one exploration-class warship.
Although Liu Shang and Qin Wei are not from the civil affairs department, their propaganda expertise also needs to come in handy at such times. Liu Shang had many dealings with immigrants when he was on Hainan Island, and the same was true when he was later transferred to Shandong, and as soon as the new immigrants arrived in Liaodong, the work of this propaganda organization was naturally handed over to him again.
Fortunately, these immigrants had spent some time in the Haihan migrant camp before coming to Liaodong, received relevant publicity and education, and informed them of the situation of their destination in advance, so Liu Shang's burden on his shoulders was much lighter, and he didn't have to bother to explain to these immigrants why they were sent to settle here.
In fact, only about half of these immigrants sent to Liaodong were real Shandongese, and the other half were recruited from Zhejiang and Jiangsu, while the rest were all from Liaodong. Almost all of these Liaodong Han people fled to the south across the sea during the Later Jin invasion, during which they took refuge under the Haihan banner through various channels. In order to build a colonial area on the Liaodong Peninsula, Haihan naturally needed to select a group of immigrants who were familiar with the local conditions as the backbone.
In order to solve the security concerns of the immigrants about the arrangement of returning to Liaodong, a special item has also been added to their propaganda content, that is, to popularize the glorious achievements of the special operations battalion of the main force guarding Lushun, especially the battle of the Houjin garrison after the heavy defeat here last year, so that the people know that the army guarding them here is the strongest ace army of Haihan, so as to gain a sufficient sense of security.
However, the garrison barracks of Fort Arthur have not yet been built, and these new immigrants naturally have no ready-made shelters, so they can only live in tents that have been set up, and then the official organization will build houses. There are large mountains and forests near Fort Arthur, and several brick kilns built outside Fort Arthur have been under construction for several days, and the materials needed to build the houses are not a problem at all, just waiting for these laborers to be in place.
Of course, all the current construction plans are just small wooden stakes nailed horizontally and vertically in the snow, and it will take at least a month or two to turn the outside of Fort Arthur into a vibrant coastal town.
