Daming 1805

Chapter 267 Daming is the Daming of the Ming people

After the immigrant ship left Nagasaki, Hao Zhongyi had a new job—to attend classes.

This morning, Hao Zhongyi was yelled into the meeting room on the ship with extreme confusion.

More than 50 people entered the conference room one after another. After asking each other, they found that everyone was from Daming.

They are all managers who are responsible for each team, large and small.

Not long after, an officer in his 30s entered the meeting room, stood on the podium and began to teach these Ming people.

"You are all the people of my Ming, the backbone and flesh and blood of my Ming, and the Ming is the Ming of our Ming people.

"The ancestral home of all of us may be in the south and the north, but after leaving the homeland of Ming Dynasty, the ancestral home is all in Ming Dynasty.

"Whether it's the local chief envoy, the internal and external vassal states, or the consortium Huangzhuang, they are all part of Ming Dynasty.

"Unless the court has special regulations, all legal systems are subject to the Ming court regulations...

"We need to master the most basic laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty, and learn how to manage and guide foreigners..."

Intermittently, various types of information were continuously poured into Hao Zhongyi's head.

In most cases, it's not that I haven't heard this kind of information when I was in school, but I didn't pay much attention to it.

I often feel bored, thinking about going to bed or playing after class during get out of class.

But now, after I became the steward of a group of people, these contents became meaningful.

"Da Ming is the Ming of the people of Ming, not the Ming of others..."

"We are Ming people, so we are the masters and superiors of those foreign races."

"My ancestral home is Shandong, but I'm also from Daming. Because my ancestral home is from Daming, I'm from Daming..."

As for the legal system behind, it is to tell oneself how to manage foreigners and how to deal with various affairs.

After finishing the theoretical class, other officers took the Ming stewards, including Hao Zhongyi, to shoot.

Learned the operation and maintenance of firearms on the immigrant ship. After practicing for three days, each person was issued a pistol.

There are also matching armed belts and magazines, which can be hung on the body directly and aboveboard.

A standard Yanling knife was also issued as a status symbol together with the pistol.

Hao Zhongyi felt that his job was becoming more and more interesting, and began to feel that it was indeed more interesting than being a chef.

The immigrant boat left Nagasaki and headed south along the island chain and coastline. When it arrived at Cam Ranh Bay, another group of Siamese and South Vietnamese joined in. Hao Zhongyi added 24 people to his team.

There are a total of 64 people and more than 40 families. If I manage it directly, it is impossible to cover everything.

According to the method learned in class, Hao Zhongyi divided them into four groups with ten families in each group.

As long as they are living independently, whether it is a single person or a family of several members, it is considered a family unit.

Hao Zhongyi asked his younger brother, Hao Jizhi, to find another Ming and He clan mixed blood, and two Ming and Korean mixed bloods. These four people served as team leaders and managed ten families each.

After the immigrant boat passed through Malacca, a group of Nanyang people, a group of Luzon people, and a group of Burmese people joined the team. After passing through Tianzhu, a group of Tianzhu people, a group of Persians, a group of Khiva and Kazakh Tatars.

The people of Nanyang, Burma, and Luzon are okay. Even the natives know some Ming dialects and can barely understand orders.

The Indians, Persians, and Tatars really don't understand.

However, when Daming recruited immigrants, it was obvious that these things were considered.

Among all ethnic groups, not only the natives, but also some mixed descendants of Ming and natives.

Most of these mixed-race people can understand Ming Dynasty dialect and local dialect at the same time, and they are ready-made translators.

Hao Zhongyi thought about it himself, combined with the experience he had learned in class, and chose to appoint a few clever translators as deputy team leaders.

The team leaders are all mixed-race or Korean.

This is also a natural choice. Among all the ethnic groups in the vassal state of Ming Dynasty, the He clan and the Koreans have the highest status.

They are the closest to the image of Ming people, and are most strongly influenced by Ming.

When they were overseas, as long as they didn't declare their identities by themselves, the foreigners couldn't tell the difference between them and the Ming people.

There were a few South Vietnamese and Luzon people who had a little bit of a problem, and tried to show their captains what they wanted to do.

The captain of North Korea went to Hao Zhongyi to make a report, and the captain of the clan directly beat them up.

After knowing the situation, Hao Zhongyi referred to the knowledge he had learned in class and organized a picket team to maintain the discipline of the immigrant team.

Let the picket team punish the leader of the He tribe who fought in private, and also punish the disobedient South Vietnamese.

Hao Zhongyi's prestige reached a new stage again, and the order of the immigration team quickly stabilized.

The follow-up time was still very long. Hao Zhongyi felt that there was nothing to do on the ship anyway, so he personally took the translators to teach the natives a lesson and taught them the commonly used Ming language.

Daming language is the lingua franca of the world, and being able to speak Daming elegant dialect is a symbol of nobility and cultured people.

Ordinary natives usually don't have the opportunity to learn, but now they have the opportunity to be extra diligent.

The immigrant boat stopped and stopped all the way until the beginning of March before finally arriving in Meng County.

Mombasa City has been renamed Meng County.

At the heart of Mon County is a bay deep inland.

The bay diverges internally into two small bays with an oval-shaped island in the middle.

The current county seat of Meng County is on this island.

On both sides of the island where Meng County is located, there are natural deep-water harbors, and the water depth in most areas exceeds 20 meters.

On the channel entering the bay, the shallowest part of the water is more than 15 meters, and a large ship of [-] tons can dock directly.

On the entire east coast of Mozhou, apart from Egypt at the northernmost point and Nanmozhou at the southernmost point, Meng County is almost the only large port.

The importance of this port is self-evident. The permanent fleet facing the Little Western Ocean is likely to use Meng County as its home port.

The immigrant boat docked at the Meng County Wharf. When Hao Zhongyi got off the boat, he was followed by six team leaders, more than 60 immigrant families, and a total of more than 120 immigrants from different races.

Even the Persian, Tianzhu, and Tatar people who boarded the ship the latest can now more or less understand a few basic Ming language.

Most of them have been able to recognize their own names, and a few can even write their own names.

Hao Zhongyi led a large group of people, followed the guides on the pier to the reception desk, and reported the number of immigrants and families he led. After checking and confirming the information, the officer at the reception desk issued a document for Hao Zhongyi to sign.

After completing the formalities, Hao Zhongyi took a sign and followed a Ming official into the city to his future residence.

Meng County is a thousand-year-old city. The earliest credible record was left by the big cannibal in the ninth century, but the actual origin of the city is obviously much earlier than the record of this latecomer.

Meng County is the most important port in the East Mozhou. It was originally the land of the Mozhou people. The Zheng He fleet of the Ming Dynasty once arrived here.

Later, the Arabs, Indians, and Persians who lived in Dashi, and the Portuguese, British, and Germans in Taixi all once fought for this territory, and they all left their own traces.

Now the city is in the hands of the Ming people, and the participation of various ethnic groups from China under the rule of the Ming Dynasty has once again brought the complexity of the city's ethnic groups to a peak.

If the proportion of each ethnic group in Meng County is made into a pie chart, each ethnic group has a color, it may look like a kaleidoscope.

The architectural style in the city is also extremely complex and changeable. Almost every building on every street is different.

Hao Jizhi followed his second brother, looked at the surrounding houses, and couldn't help muttering:
"These houses are too messy, they should be demolished and replaced with Ming-style houses..."

The officer in front laughed and said:
"Now that these houses are demolished, we will have nowhere to live..."

Hao Zhongyi and his party were taken to an Arabian-style manor, where a group of more than 30 men and women were already waiting.

The officer Daming who led the way introduced with a smile:
"This yard was left by the former Omani noble slave merchants. These people here were originally slave traders' slaves, but now they have been liberated, and they are all under your management.

"It is estimated that there are more than 60 rooms in the yard, which should be enough for you to live in. Before the unified dormitory in our factory is repaired, you can make do with living here.

"There is a well in the yard, and there is still food in the warehouse. Everyone, take a good rest in the past two days. You will start to study and work in the factory the day after tomorrow. Someone will call you."

Hao Zhongyi has gotten used to it, every time, the number of people he manages will increase.

Now I agree directly and of course, after saying goodbye to the officer, I will first ask about the situation of these newly liberated slaves.

In Hao Zhongyi's team, among the Persians and Tianzhu people, there are people who understand Dashi language and Ottoman Turkic, and it is no problem to deal with these Omani slaves.

These newly liberated slaves may not be used to living independently, so Hao Zhongyi broke them up and divided them into the existing six groups, and assigned them to the six group leaders.

Then the ordinary immigrants were left in the yard first, and they led the team leaders around the yard.

Figure out the general pattern of the yard, allocate the living area of ​​each group, arrange patrol and cooking.

Then let the group leaders go out to lead the ordinary immigrants, and each arrange them into the specific areas they are responsible for.

As a matter of course, Hao Zhongyi handed over the management of food and water in the yard to his younger brother.

Hao Jizhi, who originally planned to open a cafeteria, started to do the general logistics work ahead of schedule.

Hao Zhongyi himself lived in the slave trader's room as a matter of course, which is the master bedroom in the entire courtyard.

This exotic room is much larger than the room at home that the old man had.

Sitting on the big soft bed in the room, looking at his curious son looking around, Hao Zhongyi felt that life was really good.

It's much more interesting than staying in Edo Castle as a cook.

Hao Zhongyi's immigration team took two days to rest and was led into the factory three days later.

It was a large courtyard at the back of the city. There were several factory buildings that had been repaired, and more factory buildings were being built.

This is a textile and garment industrial park under construction and testing.

Except for Hao Jizhi's group who was arranged into the kitchen, everyone else went to the workshop to learn how to operate the loom and make a kind of fabric that they thought was very strange.

Weaving uses threads that look like silk, but are many times stronger than silk.

The thicker fabric weaves will not be torn.
