On September 10, 1657, the cold winter still rages on the coastal plains of western South Africa.

Xie Hansan, who had just returned from the north, walked into Jiao Tang's office with a serious look on his face, then pulled open his chair and sat opposite Commissioner Jiao, saying, "Old Jiao, it seems that it is going to be serious this time. People from the Ministry of Geology found diamond-containing conglomerates on the western coastal plains, and the most abundant sedimentary layer appeared in the Orange River mouth area, which has great economic significance. The Ministry of Geology has already said that this land cannot be handed over to the Black Eight Banners."

Jiao Tang put down the documents in his hand, was silent for a long time, then laughed and said self-deprecating: "Sometimes, we are quite hateful to think about it. It was obvious that they promised the people of the Black Eight Banners that they would give them land and cattle and sheep as long as they fight and work for us. Of course, we have done this, but now we actually deprive the more than 100,000 Black Eight Banners who have settled here on the land on which they depend for survival, and then drive them to the barren Orange River in the north. This is indeed unacceptable."

Jiaotang, the western desert in the Orange River area, has also been to Jiaotang, especially the Nanobu Desert north of the Orange River. The precipitation is very sparse (annual precipitation does not exceed 125 mm), and the more it is near the coastline, the less precipitation is. The terrain here has all the characteristics of a sandy plain, and the surface is covered with sparse shrub-shaped succulent vegetation (this vegetation absorbs water from the fog, and fog is also one of the biggest features of the western coast). Therefore, except for the development of a small-scale animal husbandry, it has no value here. It is no wonder that the Black Eight Banners are unwilling to live in these places.

"What's even more ironic is that we are not willing to hand over this barren land that we don't like to the Black Eight Banners, because our people have found expensive diamonds here. We are the most vicious colonists..." Xie Hansan also laughed and said, "In fact, the broken land is not as dry as the climate, but even the coast is not very tortuous, which means there is no suitable natural harbor there. Moreover, the coast is mostly composed of shale, quartzite, etc. The steep slope is generally 7-20 meters above the sea surface. It's really bad. If the diamond rock layer was not discovered, whoever wants to take it!"

After the two of them "complained" together for a while, Jiao Tang stuffed the documents in his hand to Xie Hansan and said, "The local area is planning a new 'Huahei Dividing' plan. You have heard it before, yes, it was created by your General Manager Mo of the Army Department. The Executive Committee found it interesting and planned to try it out. Therefore, he sent a message to ask our Hezhong Regional Administrative Office for the opinions, and you can see how it is..."

"Is it the idea of ​​sending the Black Eight Banners to North America?" Xie Hansan took the document in a sceptical manner. After a while, he said: "To be honest, although this was promoted by Chief of Staff Mo, judging from the actual situation in South Africa, it is quite difficult to implement. Two days ago, the Black Eight Banners held a "Supreme Klar" meeting in Gaoda Township to review the "Huahei Division" plan we proposed (that is, to settle in the Orange River area), and it was rejected without any surprise. Some Black Eight Banners were also excited. They were very interested in asking us for questioning, and for this reason, the martial law in the Gaoda Township has been strictly imposed. Now the Black Eight Banners' trust in us has been greatly reduced. Even if we propose a better plan than going to the desert, they must still be full of doubts. They think it is our conspiracy and refuse to accept going to North America. It is very difficult to operate in detail."

Jiao Tang also understood the truth about the points that Xie Hansan said. The "China-Black Division" plan caused an uproar as soon as it was proposed in South Africa. The Black Eight Banners believed that this was the "betrayal" of the East Coast people, because they made great contributions to the East Coast's expedition and conquer the construction of the East Coast. But who knew that in the end, they would be driven to the desert by the East Coast people to live in a mess. No matter how honest people were, they could not bear it. It can be said that if the East Coast people had too much power in the past, many Black Eight Banners who had war experience would have long risen to rebel. Who would have been nonsense with you at the "Supreme Klar" conference? Let's see the truth under our fists!

However, no matter how difficult this matter is, it must be implemented, and it must be as early as possible. When the population of the Black Eight Banners increases, it will be troublesome. Both Jiao Tang and Xie Hansan have this understanding. If you don’t do it now, just vaguely pass. Let the Black Eight Banners grow bigger in South Africa and occupy a considerable proportion of the population. When one day the apartheid policy on the east coast cannot continue, then South Africa will not change color instantly? This is irresponsible to history! Therefore, the "division of China and black" must be promoted.

What's more, the partition plan now has added factors to curb the expansion of white people in the North American continent. The more black people in the North American continent, the darker the future of this continent will be. This is the consensus of most of the East Coast senior management, so it is more necessary to implement it. For this reason, the South African garrison troops (the First Mixed Battalion of the Army, the Hezhong Security Regiment, the South African Infantry Company, the South African Artillery Company, the South African Cavalry Company, etc.) have taken action recently, in order to put some pressure on the Black Eight Banners.

At the same time, the Hezhong Regional Administration also sent people to the Cape Town Colony of Netherlands, warning them not to accept any Black Eight Banners who might flee to the place, otherwise the East Coast army would retain the power to move freely. Although this move would greatly offend the Dutch, it was not enough to care about anything at this time. Who made the East Coast people use Black Eight Banners so well before? Now it is time to pay back the debt. Of course, the Dutch were also extremely confused while promised. The Black Eight Banners under the control of the East Coast have always been envied by them. They can fight and work. They have such semi-slave vassal tribes, so why do they drive them out? Isn’t this not to be with money!

"In the past few days, I will send people to the Hezhong Town and Gundam Township to promote the Black Eight Banner tribes in Gaoda Township, telling them where the new settlement is and how rich it is. I don't ask them to believe it all, as long as they believe it is skeptical." Jiao Tang looked at Xie Hansan and said, "In addition, we can also organize some famous people from the Black Eight Banner tribes to board the ship to the Mississippi River Estuary in North America to see what the environment there is and whether it is as unbearable as they imagined. I believe that as long as I go there and see a look, the resistance of the Black Eight Banners should not be so intense."

"The compensation for land acquisition from the Black Eight Banners can also be increased appropriately, which should also resolve some resistance." Xie Hansan also began to make suggestions and heard him say: "I have also learned before that the arable land of the Black Eight Banners tribes is mainly located on the south bank of the Berg River in Hezhong Town and the area around Gaoda Township. Of course, they are mainly settled in these two places. In addition, they have a newly opened grassland near the Port Township, but the area is not large and the value is very limited. I think the land acquisition amount of three yuan per acre of land we gave was lower before, so no wonder these black people were not very satisfied. We can apply to the local area.

Increase the land acquisition compensation to 6 yuan per mu, of course, the price of grassland is halved. Furthermore, we can use some specialty products to exchange for more land with the Indians in North America, and then promise to give these Black Eight Banners more than twice the fertile land in North America. At the same time, we promise to provide cheap supply of livestock, seeds, and tools for them to open up land. Even the rations for the past two years can be assisted by interest-free loans. In short, we do our best to help them gain a foothold there. We cannot enslave the Black Eight Banners, and have squeezed them for more than 20 years. Now we want to eat a clean face, which is particularly important."

"This is an idea, worth trying." Jiao Tang commented, "The more black people in North America, the more worrying the future prospects will be. When their populations multiply to millions, with us being restrained, the white people will no longer be able to completely eliminate them. They can only sit back and watch their population expand day by day, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions. Haha, such a North American continent is the North American continent that we can rest assured."

"Teacher Jiao, I have to remind you that once the 'China-Black Division' plan is fully implemented, then we will not have the Black Eight Banner tribes available in South Africa in the future. Several heavy infantry battalions of the Black Eight Banners gathered in the Far East will be gradually retired and transported to North America. This may take several years. In this way, our military power in South Africa will be greatly weakened. Please pay attention to this point. After all, whether it is the Dutch or the Kama tribe, this is a real threat, and we have to guard against it."

"I understand this." Jiao Tang nodded, "but the 'Chinese-Hei-Grace Division' is a major decision made by the central government in recent years and must be implemented resolutely. Don't be afraid of something, don't be afraid of short-term pain. I have written a letter yesterday to bring it back to the local area, asking the Executive Committee to order the entire army of the Second Mixed Battalion to South Africa for a while to suppress possible abnormal movements. I believe that the two regular battalions of the army plus some of the South African troops have been under hand, and the total force we have controlled at hand has reached 5,500 people with a large army of this size. I believe no one will have the idea of ​​resistance, not to mention that a considerable number of elite troops of the Black Eight Banners are still fighting for us in the Far East and have not come back. They will be honest, I believe there is no problem."
