On March 25, 1656, just when the naval ships were maintained and began to concentrate at Dongfang Port one after another, the First Battalion of the Army was also transferred back from the Jiaohe area in the north, preparing to join the combat sequence of the South African garrison.￠￡, this battalion had 7 companies (4-instance, 1 artillery, 1 cavalry and 1 baggage), 1 engineering platoon, plus a few staff and staff, with a total of about 1,450 people, complete troops, hard training, and strong independent combat capabilities. After the first battalion left, the Second Battalion of the Army was replaced by the Second Battalion. As for the newly formed Fourth Battalion of the Army (currently only more than 300 officers and veterans) would be transferred to Ping'an County to replace the vacant of the Second Battalion, recruiting soldiers from the rear while training, in order to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

On March 27, the Third Army Battalion also returned to Dongfang Port from the jurisdiction of the Northwest Reclamation Bureau and was preparing to load a ship to New China Island. Recently, this mixed battalion, which had just been fully organized, has been in the newly established Changle Township (located in Las Doscas las in later generations.

Five settlements including Tosas Town), Yuelai Township (near Moilones Village in later generations, with train stations), Shuangxi Township (near Las Flores Village), Ankang Township (near Pelado Mountain Village) and Si'an Township (on the banks of the Sebal River west of Seliada), have achieved remarkable results, and they have a certain combat effectiveness. In fact, many of them are militia or veterans who have been trained for many years. Now they are re-suming, so they are naturally familiar with their combat effectiveness and have formed very fast combat effectiveness. Even if some second-generation recruits are filled, the growth cycle can be greatly shortened under the leadership of these experienced veterans, so they can basically be sent to the battlefield to fight against the natives.

On March 29, all ships were maintained. All materials were basically shipped to the cargo yard of the Port Authority Bureau. The entire fleet began to load and set off. After crossing the Atlantic Ocean by wind near Patagonia, it finally arrived at the South African Hezhong Port on April. The Hezhong Region Commissioner Jiao Tang, who was releasing his remaining heat, and the new South African security commander Major Xie Hansan, came to the dock to welcome him.

Local workers, vegetable vendors, brokers and merchants working on the dock naturally saw this huge fleet, and they were talking about it one by one, but the overall mood was positive and the expectations for the future suddenly increased. It was obvious that the local area was about to take action. In recent years, although the Xhosa people who went down to the mountain and grass valley in the Gaoda Township area have repeatedly damaged the Black Eight Banners, and the Black Eight Banners have been entangled with the Kama Tribe and bleed. But this tribal alliance king

The country has never been defeated, and once moved north to the vicinity of Xiang Township (near Cran William Dam), and had fought with the local militia on the east coast for many years, which really gave the East Coast people a headache. But now, the entire mixed battalion of troops, plus nearly a thousand infantry and cavalry of the River Security Corps (it will soon be expanded to two thousand). If the local funds and war materials are provided, it should be a "surprise" to the Kama Kingdom.

"Many people outside are excited!" Jiao Tang finally glanced at the residents running around the street outside the Administrative Office, then pulled up the curtains and smiled at Guo Zili, Xie Hansan and others. He said, "In recent years, the battle with the natives of South Africa has been going on. Since the group of Xhosa returned from sending royal families to study in the Netherlands, they have now introduced Dutch missionaries and promoted Dutch language and language in China. The purpose is very small. Therefore, on the one hand, we asked the Dutch East India Company to stop the assistance of these natives (it is difficult to say what they are doing), and on the other hand, we continue to fight with the natives and let them go blood.

, weaken the strength, and after a long battle, the number of casualties will inevitably increase, and this folk sentiment will naturally be not right. However, this local strengthened the strength of the South African garrison troops and expanded the number of militias in the security regiment in the river. It seems that the British landed in South Africa and would probably find the bad luck of the natives. However, as far as I know, in recent years, the indigenous Kama Kingdom has been eliminating and annexing multiple tribes, and its main force has been advancing eastward, as if trying to avoid the southwest coast where foreign colonists gather. The Dutch should know more about this matter than us, but unfortunately they will not inform us of these information."

"Are the Dutch in the same camp as us now?" Guo Zili has been in New China for a long time and is not very familiar with the situation in South Africa, so he has this question.

"The general direction should be consistent, but it is not realistic to say that everything is working with us." Jiao Tang should have conducted a comprehensive investigation into the situation in South Africa this time, and he said: "The Netherlands is getting closer and closer to our country at the government level. This should be related to the republican rule representing the great merchants, compradors, and big capitalists. But we are pagans after all, and the years of cooperation are limited. It is normal for the Dutch officials in the local area to have doubts about us. You see, we repeatedly requested Cape Town to cancel cooperation with the Kingdom of Kama. The Dutch cannot push it over and agree on the surface, but who knows what it is in private?

What is the situation? After all, in the southwest corner of South Africa, the Dutch are also a little vigilant about us, secretly improving relations with the black people of Xhosa (the Dutch enslaved a branch of the Coissians, namely the Hottonots, and the East Coast people had about 50,000 people, and it has been sharply reduced), and it is not known that they even made an appointment with an offensive and defensive alliance. However, now the British have also landed on the territory of the Coissians, and according to rumors, they have been logging in for more than a year, and there is more than one settlement situation. The Dutch may gradually deepen cooperation with us in the future to jointly deal with the threat from the UK."

"South Africa cannot become a public colony." Xie Hansan, commander of the South African security guard and commander of the South African garrison, suddenly interrupted, "The Netherlands' Cape Town must also find a way to get it over in the future. At most, we announce Cape Town as a permanent free port, so that ships from other countries can be parked and replenished at will, otherwise it will never be safe. In addition, the division of China and blacks must also be launched as soon as possible. Now the black Eight Banners are complex (there are Xhosa, the Koisan, the Comoros, the Malays, and the Congolescent), but they are scattered in our territory, which is inappropriate. Now there are 36,000 citizens in the Hezhong area. If they live with the blacks like this, they will sooner or later cause a disaster. We must take advantage of the strong control of the division and governance. Let them settle north of the Orange River (i.e. the Orange River) and establish a country. We can provide guidance on their economic, military, political and diplomatic aspects..."

Xie Hansan's words left the other two in the house speechless for a while. Huahei Dividing has been mentioned in the local area over the years, but this matter is quite complicated and it is not easy to operate. Because of the large number of Black Eight Banners, there have been more than 100,000 people in recent years, and they have always been loyal to the East Coast, doing hard work, going to the battlefield, and making great contributions. If they suddenly drove them to the desolate area north of the Orange River, not only would they not be able to get through morally, but the Black Eight Banners are afraid that they would not be willing to do so? Maybe they would go back! Therefore, there have been people mentioning Huahei Dividing for many years, but no one has made up their minds to solve it, just because they are afraid of causing trouble.

But Xie Hansan's words are not unreasonable. Now he has made up his mind and has time to make up his mind. If the number of Black Eight Banners expands to hundreds of thousands or millions (now every year there are black workers returning from the East Coast control area, many of which are former Congolese or Comoros slaves), it is probably not easy to force apartheid. But if you want to divide and govern, you have to give them a place to go. It is best to connect with the East Coast control area of ​​South Africa on land for easy control. This is more difficult!

"I will talk about this later. In my term, I will always come up with an explanation, and it is really impossible to delay indefinitely. The Dutch and the British like to enslave black celebrities and even give birth to mixed-race descendants. Anyway, the Hezhong Regional Administration strictly prohibits this behavior. As for the specific measures for the division of the Chinese and blacks, I have to negotiate with the local government to come up with a plan within five years and start implementing it. It will be completely resettled within ten to fifteen years, and the division will be successfully completed, so as to relieve hidden dangers for future generations." Xie Hansan of Jiao Tang Dynasty waved his hand and said firmly.

"In addition, Commander Guo, in the future, our Hezhong area will have more contact with your Second Navy Fleet. Before I set out to South Africa, I learned from the local area that the expansion of the Hezhong shipyard has been approved by the Government Council. The construction of the battleship special terminal will also begin in the next period of time. The land defense and coastal defense fortresses of the dock will also be strengthened. In short, you can use this place as a base in the future." Jiao Tang said: "In short, the Hezhong area will consolidate its military and expand its military equipment in the next few years. This does not mean that we will invade others, but it is correct to be prepared for war at any time to wait for the opportunity. Of course, during this period, we can also train locals to train troops, so as not to be in a hurry when fighting."

"What Commissioner Jiao said is very much." Guo Zili agreed with Jiao Tang's words. Their Second Fleet is responsible for maritime affairs in southern Africa. As for land, it still has to be responsible for the Hezhong region and the New China Development Team.

In the next few days, after following the Second Navy Fleet, the staff of the Ministry of Geology who followed the Second Navy Fleet, finally gave up their plan to find coal mines on the southwest coast of South Africa after checking a large amount of local exploration data. The second generation led by the team, Wang Zhijie, a geography researcher, decided to take naval ships to the South African coast on the Indian Ocean to conduct a long-term investigation in accordance with the internal discussion policy of the Ministry of Geology to see if some high-quality coal storage areas can be found. This is extremely important for the future development of the East Coast and cannot be careless.

On April 27, 1656, after leaving the First Army Battalion, the rest of the people boarded the ship again, then left the already prosperous Hezhong Port, set sail, and headed straight to the Mianhe Port on New China Island. As for the exploration of the east coast of South Africa, the New China Development Team will assist the staff of the Ministry of Geology to complete it. The main force of the navy is about to go to the east coast of Africa to make a fortune! (To be continued...)
