Chapter 886 North America

Immigrants from big families are completely different from ordinary people.

Most of the ordinary immigrants were young and strong bachelors who didn't even have a decent package on them, and they were also on the official ship of Dahua.

And the big family is dragging their family, bringing their wives and concubines, as well as a large number of hired servants. A family, its number often reached hundreds.

Coupled with a large number of weapons, tools and living supplies, basically a family occupies the position of a ship.

The first batch of thirteen families went to sea, with a total number of more than 3,000 people. This is just the beginning, and the fleet of immigrants will become larger and larger in the future.

Also accompanied by the Dahua Navy, and a Marine Corps.

These armies are here to help these immigrants grab territory. If these untrained people are really going to fight against thousands of natives, accidents will inevitably happen.

It's better to leave things like wars to professionals.

The Chinese army will rush ahead, defeat the local indigenous tribes, subdue them, and then sell or rent the land they have grabbed to these immigrants at a low price.

At the port, the people who saw off were crowded at the dock, and there were many people who came to join in the fun.

"I heard that these people are going to the Golden Mountain in America, which is thousands of miles away from us."

"Ten thousand miles, isn't that the horizon?"

"It's still a long way from the horizon. It can be reached in two or three months. Besides, I heard that there are countless gold and fields without owners, which can be occupied at will. Otherwise, how could these pampered gentlemen be willing to go so far. place."

"Really? After you said that, I also want to immigrate to America."

"Then go, anyway, the court has support now, as long as you go to register and apply, you can take the free boat from the government. There are also subsidies for food and tools."

........

The people who joined in the fun were discussing, and some of them were immediately moved when they heard that there were gold mines and no-owner land.

Not only did the former landlords want the local lord, but the former people also wanted the local lord.

And now, there is an opportunity in front of them.

Some people with determination and courage are ready to go to America.

Immigrants from large families alone are not enough, and immigration from a single class is not very good either.

Subsequently, the government released a message that gold mines had been discovered in San Francisco.

It's used to attract bottom people, bachelors, speculators.

The attraction of gold mines far exceeds other policies promulgated by the imperial court.

Where there are gold mines, there is no need for official encouragement, and those eager to make a fortune flock there.

Not long after the first batch of immigrants set off, the second batch of people was ready and waiting for the boat.

Among this group of people, there are still many people from big families, but more of them are people from the bottom and some adventurous men.

In addition to these normal ways of immigration, there is an unknown way.

Guided by the imperial court, the army quietly executed.

They went to North Korea, Fusang, and Annan, and forced some people to go to North America.

It seems like a lot of work, but for ethnic integration, there are still many benefits.

Going to an unfamiliar place and having a common enemy, these people will naturally rely on Dahua's power to protect them, and they will also unite with each other.

When we share weal and woe together, the estrangement between ethnic groups can easily disappear.

Another advantage is naturally to weaken their population ratios in North Korea, Fusang, Annan and other places.

After a large number of these people were immigrated to the Americas, some Han people were then arranged to immigrate to Korea, Fusang, and Annan to increase the proportion of the Han population.

This move seems to be tossing around, but it is of great help to the localization of Fusang.

North America, San Francisco.

Dahua immigrants who came here before encountered a dilemma, that is, a serious shortage of manpower.

There are only more than 3,000 of them, plus the more than 2,000 who came later, there are only more than 5,000 in total.

There are also some old and weak women and children, some honest farmers, these people can't go to the battlefield to fight with the natives.

There are fewer than 2,000 people who can carry guns to the battlefield.

These two thousand people need to protect not only the old, weak, women and children in the station, but also those who go to gold mines, and also protect the land they planted, lest the natives come to destroy and steal.

Even with the advantage of weapons, under the huge disadvantage of numbers, they can only protect themselves, and there is no way to expand further.

The indigenous population of North America is very large, about 30 million.

Although most of them are in the eastern plains, there are quite a few on the west coast.

The lack of people has made Dahua discover a gold mine, but there is no way to expand the scale of mining.

Not long ago, a French fleet also landed in the area of ​​San Francisco, and also learned about the gold mine, and sent people to snatch the gold mine.

The two sides fought, and the French were defeated without a doubt, and fled north all the way, so embarrassed.

However, these immigrants from Dahua can only stop there, and there is no good way to take these French people. Because this mining area is really big, thousands of people are thrown in this mining area, and not a single person can be seen.

After the French found that they couldn't beat them, they started to steal chickens and dogs, quietly searching for gold and mining in this mining area.

Of course, it's not easy for them to live like this. On the one hand, they have to worry about being caught by Dahua.

On the other hand, they have to worry about being discovered by the large tribe of local Indians.

Two months later, large-scale immigration from Dahua began to arrive in San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Mainly San Francisco, after all, there is a large plain in the east of San Francisco, which is a good place to grow crops. Gold mines have been discovered in the northern region, and riches can be achieved by mining.

On the pier, the big Chinese gave a warm welcome to the arriving immigrants.

They have food and shelter ready.

Of course they would welcome it. Anyway, there is too much land here, and this small group of people can't take it all up, so they are not afraid that more people will come and grab it.

With a little more of your own people, you can also strengthen your own strength and grab more.

If the land here is too small to be divided up, they will definitely not be so enthusiastic, or they will refuse.

Man, it's actually quite simple.

Now they are just like meeting relatives, both sides cheering each other happily.

These people who have just come to America also feel the warmth and feel that immigrants are not so unbearable.

In their hometown, the relationship between them and their fellow villagers is not so harmonious. Fighting for land, water, and firewood is daily life.

After resting for a few days and recovering, they followed the Marines and began to march eastward to capture more places and build new villages and towns.

They came here to expand their territory, and of course they couldn't just stay in San Francisco.
