"Brother Ha, Manila is also an overseas colonial area, so it must have been similar to Kaohsiung when it was first developed?"
While chatting, the topic also came to Ha Jianyi's hometown.Although his father, Harugong, considers himself a Mongolian, Ha Jianyi was born in Manila and grew up in the South China Sea region. In fact, he is used to seeing his birthplace as his hometown.As for the distant Mongolian grassland, which is more intimate than the environment of a tropical island, it has no special meaning to Ha Jianyi.
Hearing that Manila was mentioned, Ha Jianyi responded: "Listen to what you just said, the people in Kaohsiung should be mainly Han Chinese, but the situation in Manila is a bit different. There are many Hispanics and mixed races there." Population, these people of non-Han origin probably account for more than one-third of the permanent population. For our country, these people are actually equivalent to the local aborigines, and the subsequent immigration of Han immigrants will actually follow these People have conflicts of interest, which should not be a problem in Kaohsiung, but in Manila, it is more troublesome to deal with."
When the Haihan army captured Manila, the Spaniards withdrew in a hurry, but most of the people who settled there were forced to stay. The resulting ethnic and cultural barriers, as well as the real conflict of interests, did make the Manila's post-war governance process was not particularly smooth.
Haihan occupied the Manila area through war in 1637, but it took a full ten years to eliminate the conflicts between various ethnic groups.Even today, conflicts between different ethnic groups still exist, but they are not as obvious as before.
To solve this kind of problem, it is difficult for the government to take any measures that can have an immediate effect, and it can only be delivered to time.Perhaps after a few generations, the integration of blood and culture can slowly dilute the existing contradictions and allow the local people to truly establish the consciousness of Haihan nationals.
Two days later, the official ship successfully arrived at Kaohsiung Port in the southern part of Taiwan Island.Although Tao Hongfang and others came here for the first time, they realized that the development prospect of Kaohsiung Port is indeed far better than that of Hong Kong, which they visited before, just from the first glimpse when they entered the port.
The nearly closed natural harbor of Kaohsiung Port can perfectly isolate the wind and waves from the sea. There are only two waterways, one south and one north, for ships to enter and leave the port. From a military point of view, it is also a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Of course, considering the international situation in East Asia at this time, no armed force dared to make trouble in the Fujian Strait where Haihan deployed heavy troops, let alone attack a big port like Kaohsiung.After all, the coastal defense forts built near the access and exit channels are not decorations. If someone really wants to attack the port from the sea, they must first pass through the coastal defense forts.
Tao Hongfang and others noticed that almost all the ships entering and leaving Kaohsiung Port were large cargo ships with large cargo capacity. It goes without saying that most of the ships carried various local crops and agricultural products after deep processing.
Large-scale hoisting equipment driven by steam engines and diesel engines is even installed on the wharf here. A single hoisting can complete the loading and unloading of thousands of kilograms of goods, which is far more efficient than manual operations carried by hand.
Such equipment is certainly not uncommon in several large ports on Hainan Island, but it is not easy to see these advanced port facilities overseas, at least I did not see much of these equipment when I docked in Hong Kong before.
Although official ships do not plan to stop at Kaohsiung Port for too long, it is definitely okay for them to disembark and visit the port.And this move made them realize once again that their whereabouts were no secret.
Not long after disembarking, a carriage guarded by a group of cavalry came to the pier, and it was Li Dou, the chief officer of the Kaohsiung area, who arrived in this carriage.And the reason why he came to the port was nothing else but to receive these young people who came from afar.
The source of Li Dou's news is not Fort Victory, but Hong Kong.Although there was not much movement in Hong Kong where this group of young people visited, in fact, many local people have heard the news.It's just that when the news spread, Tao Hongfang and others had already left Hong Kong, and it was too late for ordinary people to curry favor.
However, there is also an agency established by the Kaohsiung government in the local area, which quickly sent the news back by telegram.After Li Dou got the news, he inquired about the ship's voyage arrangement from Sanya through official channels, and confirmed that it would dock in Kaohsiung, so he had already made arrangements in advance.As soon as the ship entered the port, Li Dou got the news and drove over immediately.
Li Dou was so active, not because he wanted to flatter their fathers, but because he wanted to understand why Fort Victory sent these young officials on tour.Although in recent years the descendants of the time-travelers have started to enter the officialdom one after another, holding positions in various departments to accumulate qualifications, but they are rarely sent to perform tasks far away from the places where they work, not to mention that this time they sent four people at once After coming out, the parents of three of them are senior officials of the executive committee, Li Dou thinks that such a move is a bit unusual.
From Li Dou's point of view, the most likely reason for such an arrangement is that their parents have no time to go on tour, so the task of patrolling the place is given to these young people to complete.As for how these young people will report their knowledge, I am afraid that it will be largely affected by the local reception work.
Li Dou has been in Kaohsiung for more than 20 years, and his foundation is very deep. He is not worried that his position will be easily shaken. However, if these young people have a bad impression of Kaohsiung, they will make irresponsible remarks after returning, which will affect the future of Kaohsiung. Policies are not good either.
Hearing that these young people left in a hurry after only staying in Hong Kong for one night, Li Dou thought about it and thought it might be due to poor hospitality from the locals.Since they were coming to Kaohsiung, it would be better to show up in person, so that at least it would appear that they paid enough attention to their arrival.
The appearance of Li Dou really flattered the young people.They traveled without advance notice of the places along the route, nor did they expect to receive a warm and thoughtful reception in these places.When they docked in Hong Kong before, it was not the local government that came forward to receive them, but Qiong Lianfa, who Ning Zijing worked for.When they arrived in Kaohsiung, they didn't intend to stay here for a long time, they only thought of leaving after the official ship's cargo handover was completed, but they didn't expect that Li Dou would personally come to the port to greet them.
Although Li Dou is only a junior among the time-traveling crowd, he left Sanya very early to go out and work hard, and now he is also a respected member of the party. The young people naturally want to give him face, so he had to accept Li Dou's arrangement first. , drove to his mansion, and enjoyed a welcome banquet specially prepared for them.
