Chapter 3044
In Jinshan, an emerging seaport city, more than [-]% of the resident population are Haihan soldiers or military family members, and the remaining few are mostly immigrants recruited from China in various ways in recent years. .
However, the real natives and European immigrants who originally settled near the Bay Area accounted for only a fraction of Jinshan City's household registration.
After all, it is not an easy task for them to overcome the obstacles of language, culture and living habits, and integrate into a society completely constructed by Han people.
Of course, there are shortcuts, and that is to follow the tradition of quick naturalization of non-Han people and sign up to join the army.As long as you have completed three years of military service, you can automatically obtain Haihan nationality and enjoy national treatment.
Some young indigenous people with flexible minds learned that through this method, they could join the powerful "Haihan Tribe", and became the first batch of brave men who ate crabs.
As far as Hai Han was concerned, although communication with these native soldiers was somewhat troublesome, the training process was far more cumbersome and complicated than that of Han recruits.But fortunately, the native soldiers are often brave and brave in battle. They are natural fighters. They only need to be trained strictly so that they can learn to obey military discipline.
Moreover, they were born and raised in Jinshan Bay and are very familiar with the local environment.The reconnaissance, patrol, and exploration tasks that need to be performed in the outskirts of the city, these indigenous soldiers are obviously more competent than Han soldiers.
However, the aborigines who are willing to take the initiative to join the Haihan army are very few after all, and it is not easy to recruit them. Therefore, near the fishing port wharf where the aborigines come and go frequently, there has been a conscription point for the aboriginals for a long time, and the aboriginals who have already enlisted in the army have been specially dispatched Bing acted as a lobbyist at the scene.
However, today's recruitment task was obviously not very smooth. The native soldiers made gestures in front of several compatriots for a long time, but in the end they still failed to keep them.
"Report, sir, they are only fishing, not soldiers." The native soldiers explained to the officer sitting under the eaves the reason for the failure of the recruitment with some frustration.
Limited by his language ability, this native soldier could only speak extremely short sentences, but they could still be understood.
The young officer who was sitting just nodded slightly, indicating that he had understood the situation, but he did not blame him for his ineffectiveness.
This kind of recruitment method of waiting for a rabbit is not very efficient. It is considered a good result to recruit a dozen or so native soldiers in a month. Most of the time, the performance is zero.
However, after several years of practice, the higher-ups also know that it is not easy to implement this, so they are very Buddhist about it, and there will be no punishment even if they are not recruited.
The most disappointed one is probably the native soldier responsible for the persuasion work. After all, if a compatriot is successfully recruited, he will have a corresponding bounty, but if the performance is zero, then today is another busy day.
Seeing that the aboriginal fishermen on the pier had left in their boats one after another, the young officer knew that today’s conscription mission could only end here, so he let the aboriginal soldiers return to the barracks by themselves, while he untied the reins tied under the porch and turned over. Get on the horse and walk slowly towards the city to the south.
Jinshan City is located in the northeast corner of the Jinshan Peninsula. The north of the city is the fishing port adjacent to the Golden Gate Strait, the east is the trading port and naval port, and the west is a large area of farmland near the sea.
At present, the area of the entire urban area is similar to that of Sanya's old urban area, but the building density is much sparser.After all, the population of Jinshan City has not exceeded [-] so far, far less than that of Sanya.
But compared to Sanya's geographical environment, Jinshan City is much superior here. The seaside plain located at the northern end of Jinshan Peninsula alone has an area five times that of Sanya's current urban area.
This leaves ample space for urban construction planning. The existing urban area is divided into a neat checkerboard shape by wide roads, and the floor area ratio of the houses is extremely low. Every household can build a single-family house according to their own needs and financial resources. residence.
The area available for development in Jinshan Bay is far more than that.This huge bay in a semi-enclosed state is divided into three bays in the north, east, and south, sharing the Jinmen Strait, which is less than five miles wide, as an entry and exit channel.But the area of the bay within the strait is astonishingly large.
Haihan's largest military base in the South China Sea, Cam Ranh Port, has a bay area only one-thirtieth of Cam Ranh Bay.
Nanwan, where the Jinshan Peninsula is located, is the largest of the three bays and has the longest coastline.And the surrounding coast of this bay is full of plains that can be developed, and it is easy to accommodate millions of people.
This bay, located in the gap between the coastal mountains on the Pacific side of North America, has a huge area and is difficult to attack and easy to defend. Of course, this is the main reason why Wang Tom chose this place as Haihan's first colony in North America.
But the development value here doesn't stop there.On the east side of Jinshan Bay, between the Coastal Mountain Range and the Sierra Nevada Mountains, is a long and narrow alluvial plain with a length of [-] miles from north to south and a width of more than [-] miles from east to west.
The area of this plain is roughly equivalent to one and a half Hainan Island.In comparison, the coastal plain on the coast of Jinshan Bay is nothing more than a fraction.
Surrounded by the Coastal Mountains and the Sierra Nevada, this valley plain has plenty of moisture and fertile land, making it the most livable piece of land on the west coast of North America.
From here north to Alaska in the extreme north, and south to Mexico in Central and North America, there are endless coastal mountains, and there is no such large fertile plain.
But going east across the Sierra Nevada Mountains and going deep into the North American continent, most of the areas within thousands of miles are desert hills, and it is not until they climb over the towering Rocky Mountains that they can enter the grassland area of central North America.
It is no exaggeration to say that Jinshan Bay and its adjacent valley plains are the first-class geomantic treasures in the western part of North America.Taking Jinshan Bay as the origin, within a radius of three thousand miles, there is no other place with the same conditions as this place.
If you insist on finding fault, it is probably that the vicinity of Jinshan Bay lacks important mineral deposits needed for industrial development.
There are no coal mines or iron mines with mining value nearby, so all kinds of mechanical equipment, weapons and equipment, and even kitchen utensils and agricultural tools needed to open up the world here have to rely on the domestic supply of Haihan.
Of course, since this place is named Jinshan Port, as the name suggests, gold mines are naturally indispensable.
It's just that the place where the gold mine is located is relatively far away. There are many gold mine veins in the area where the river valley plain and the Sierra Nevada mountains meet, more than 300 miles east of the Jinshan Peninsula.
In order to open up this golden road, Wang Tom has invested a lot of resources in the past few years.In addition to building mines, it is also necessary to build post stations and roads along the way, and send troops to garrison them.
After all, money touches people's hearts. Even the natives know that gold is precious, and they will snatch it whenever they get the chance.
