But today's Amakusa Shiro can't see the shadow of the Japanese at all. After all, he has lived in Haihan for more than 20 years, and he has been reborn from the inside to the outside. He looks like a high-ranking official in Haihan.If they hadn't already known his identity, the young officials would definitely think that he was a pure-blooded Haihan senior.

It was not the first time for Shi Chengwu and Wang Anguo to come here, and they were familiar with Amakusa Shiro, so they immediately introduced the members of the mission to each other.And Amakusa Shiro has already learned about the identities and backgrounds of the members of the mission from other sources, so naturally he will not neglect this group of prominent second-generation children.

The main local civil and military officials also came to the pier with Amakusa Shiro, and he introduced them to the mission one by one.Compared to Amakusa Shiro, the other officials are much younger, and almost all of them are second-generation Haihan citizens.

Civil affairs chief Yuan Wendong, whose father Yuan Tao was once the person in charge of the Zhoushan branch of Golden Shield, is now the person in charge of Golden Shield in the East China Sea region. In 1638, Yuan Tao secretly led a team to Yangzhou, secretly helping Huizhou salt merchants to train musketeers and attacking their rival Shanxi salt merchants.Dai Yingda, the leader of Hui nationality salt merchants, was grateful for Yuan Tao's actions and sworn brothers with him. The two families have always maintained a good relationship.Dai Yingda's son-in-law, Zhang Fengchu, hired Jindun for a long time in Busan, and it is said that they were arranged through Yuan Tao's relationship.

Yang Tianlei, who is in charge of shipping and trade affairs, is the father of Yang Yun, the current administrator of Zhoushan Island.A considerable part of his work content in the Sasebo base is connected with Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and among them, Zhoushan Dinghai Port is the main one. The arrangement of this position can be regarded as the ultimate in work connection.

Amakusa Shiro's two sons, Amakusa Masaaki and Amakusa Hayabusa, are currently in charge of the military logistics and political propaganda of the Sasebo base.

In addition to these officials, there were more than [-] people in charge of the resident agencies of Haihan's major chambers of commerce, as well as representatives of local gentry.Although Sasebo Bay is mainly based on military bases, as the number of immigrants moving to the local area increases year by year, various commercial organizations of Haihan have also settled in Sasebo Bay. Although there is still a gap in the size of the port city, there are also Nearly [-] permanent residents, the social structure is constantly improving.

Later, in the conference room of the Base Command, Shiro Amakusa introduced the resettlement situation of the immigrant fleet that arrived in Sasebo earlier to the members of the mission, as well as some relevant local information.

During the mission's visit to North Korea, the immigrant fleet under the command of Wang Anguo was temporarily settled in Seogwipo Port on Jeju Island. Later, due to changes in the mission's schedule, it left Jeju Island and came to Sasebo Bay.

Amakusa Shiro was very aware of the importance of these immigrants to the North American colonial area, so he personally arranged various temporary resettlement work, not only providing basic living guarantees such as housing, food, and public security, but also setting up clinics and civil affairs agencies in the camp. Address the various needs of immigrants.It even arranged for children of immigrants to temporarily enroll in local schools to ensure that their studies would not be delayed too much due to this transoceanic journey.

Of course, the generous treatment provided by the Sasebo authorities is not completely free. About [-]% of the various local products that Wang Anguo’s fleet brought back from North America were reserved for Sasebo Bay for consignment sales in Japan. .During the period when the immigrant fleet is stationed in Sasebo Bay, they will also purchase a large number of various living materials and necessities from the local area, and these expenses will all have to be settled in the end.

However, the Sasebo authorities obviously did a very good job of collecting money to do things, and provided a lot of extra thoughtful services, which made it difficult for Wang Anguo to find any faults.These immigrants can live more comfortably during the rest period in Sasebo, which will also help them survive the long transoceanic voyage, so for the North American colonial area, this expenditure is still very worthwhile.

Then the officials in charge of various affairs made speeches one by one, introducing the basic situation of the Sasebo base to everyone in the mission.

The troops stationed at the Sasebo base are mainly the navy, and the main force is the second detachment under the jurisdiction of the East China Sea Fleet. It has a total of more than [-] large and small combat ships and more than [-] sailors.Of course, not all of these ships are gunboats, but also include high-speed reconnaissance ships, troop carriers, comprehensive supply ships, and other ships.In addition, there is also a battalion of the army stationed locally, which is mainly responsible for port defense, base security, communication, medical treatment, logistics and other work.

Coupled with military agencies such as headquarters, civilian agencies, and intelligence agencies, the size of the local garrison is maintained at a level of nearly 3000 people all year round.The other resident population is about [-], mainly composed of military families and immigrants who have moved in in recent years, and the population growth rate is still accelerating year by year.

"In terms of population growth rate alone, Sasebo is one of the best in the west coast of Japan." Yuan Wendong, who is in charge of civil affairs affairs, introduced proudly: "So far this year alone, the registered household population in the local area is higher than that of last year. More than 2000 people have been added, and this number is expected to double next year."

Tao Hongfang asked: "Is the current main source of local immigrants still domestic?"

Yuan Wendong responded: "The immigrants of the base were mainly from China when it was first established, but in recent years the number of immigrants from all over Japan has increased... This should have a lot to do with the exemplary effect played by General Amakusa!"

According to Yuan Wendong's knowledge, the Japanese immigrants who took the initiative to come to Sasebo to make a living were no longer limited to the neighboring island of Kyushu, and there were even people who defected from Edo not far away.And the reason many of them gave when registering their identities was that they heard that the chief of this place was originally a native of Kyushu Island. , naturally began to emulate the heart.

Amakusa Shiro's luck lies in the fact that he coincided with the special period when Haihan started his career. In addition, he was born as a samurai and had a certain professional foundation.It is not so easy for ordinary people to emulate such an experience.

However, since such an achievement is understood by the outside world as the luck component of "I can do what others do", Haihan officials will naturally not specifically clarify it. Instead, they use folk communication channels to exaggerate this, and promote Sasebo as a commoner. The blessed land, in order to attract the Japanese people to take the initiative to take effect.

Although the composition of the Japanese immigrants attracted by this is complex, and there are even spies sent by various forces, the cost is still much lower than that of immigrants from Haihan, so it is gradually becoming a part of the local population growth. an important source of .
