Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 547 Daming's Naturalization

In this era, apart from Daming, other places are not very peaceful.On the land of North America, the British and the French were fighting an alliance formed by the local Indians. However, it was obvious that due to the improvement of British and French weapons, the Indians were powerless to resist. After being massacred, they fled to the land of Ming Dynasty.

Daming is willing to provide asylum to these Indians, but the premise is that they accept the arrangement of Daming's North American overseas territories and live in the newly built towns of Daming. If some Indian tribes directly refuse, then Daming will drive them back.

In North America, Ming has always been carrying out the big plan of "de-tribalization". If there are no Ming people nearby, it is okay to say that Ming will let them fend for themselves. However, if a town of Ming appears nearby, Ming hopes to build a town Small communities housed these Indians.The whole process was not completely peaceful, but the Ming people were much more respectable than the European colonists.

The houses built in the Indian community are equivalent to giving these Indians free of charge. If they want, they can also provide them with jobs. In addition, imitating the native immigrants of Ming Dynasty, they are also granted land and certain means of production, and teach them agricultural or industrial skills. .Indians who are willing to transform their lives are often able to live better, and those who are unwilling can only leave.

But no matter what, accepting Daming's title deed is tantamount to accepting that the land belongs to Daming.In order for the entire tribe to survive, many tribes finally agreed to live in the Indian community set up by Ming Dynasty.These Indians were the first to learn how to climb stairs, how to use the flush toilet, and the first time they learned to buy things with colorful Daming banknotes.

During the entire process of the Ming Dynasty's colonization of North America, conflicts naturally continued, but they were far less bloody.Because the stronger the power, the less need for Ming to kill these Indians. The defeated Indians will be managed in a unified and centralized way. People from multiple tribes will be mixed together, and they will usually be sent to farming or mining. Basically, this will last for a year or two. , they became docile and could speak some Chinese, so they were sent to Indian communities in different towns.

The second generation of Indians who first lived with the Ming people have already been branded with a more obvious Han nationality.They wear shirts and even national costumes (Hanfu). They understand that "people are inherently good" and have certain life skills.

Daming did not use coercive means to deprive the local people of their culture and language in any propaganda department. The more coercive it is, the less effective it is.For example, Canada and Australia in another plane have set up things like compulsory Indian boarding schools to snatch Indian children, send them to schools, and teach them English, but the effect is not good, and It also caused a lot of trauma.These schools often have a very high rate of sexual assault and death rate. It is impossible for ordinary Chinese people to understand why there is such a thing as death rate in a school.

In fact, people are social creatures that are particularly easy to be influenced. Through the influence of soft power and culture, it is easier to produce naturalized effects.

So the overseas territories of North America allowed these Indians to live in towns and live with the Chinese. Although conflicts and problems definitely existed, they gradually improved during the running-in.Indian school children go to school and finish school together with Chinese school children. When they return home, they can speak their own languages, and they speak Chinese in school.In general, schools and society treat them equally, without harsh treatment or preferential treatment.If they study well, they will be praised, and they can also participate in any activities attended by Chinese students.

In various subtle ways, Indians were integrated into Ming North American society.

The national character of the Chinese is actually a very crucial element.A few years ago, an Indian businessman from Jun'an Prefecture bought a mansion in the luxury residential area of ​​Jun'an, and moved out of the Indian community, which is generally considered to be very working and simple.At that time, the Chinese people in Jun'an were very surprised. They did not expect that there were already Indians who could afford a mansion in the luxury residential area.Some noise came out, saying that Indians should not be allowed to enter the Chinese community, destroying its purity.

However, Bu An, the Governor-General of the North American Overseas Territory, personally participated in the housewarming ceremony of the Indian businessman he did not know, and welcomed him with celebrities from the mansion area.

Bu'an's speech was published in the newspaper that day. He said: "In Daming, as long as people who identify with this country and our Chinese nation are our compatriots. As long as they work hard and make contributions to the country, society and people , should be respected by us. The place where we stand is the territory of Ming Dynasty, and there is no boundary on the territory of Ming Dynasty, and there should be no boundaries in the hearts of the compatriots of Ming Dynasty."

In the second year, Bu An's speech was revised and included in the national middle school Chinese textbooks.

Compared with the European immigrants on the other side who used various methods to prevent people of other ethnicities from moving to what they thought were high-end neighborhoods, and even couldn't figure out the ethnicity's access to schools, Daming's side was much calmer.There is definitely a sense of division between different ethnic groups, but there is nothing wrong with generally identifying as people from one country.Moreover, if a person has achievements and abilities, no matter what his background is, he will be accepted by people. This is the basic value of Ming Dynasty, and it is also the tradition of "heroes don't care about their origin".

As the first person to cross the North American continent and occupy Jun'an for the Ming Dynasty, Bu'an became the governor-general of an overseas territory from a escort. It can be said that he is very legendary.Naturally, although Bai Mingxiu didn't need this clone anymore, he still arranged this person well.

Today's Jun'an Mansion is a large city with a population of more than 30, and it is also the largest city in North America.High-rise buildings are built everywhere on Manhattan Island, full of modern atmosphere.

Originally, Longevity City and Luoxie had better conditions for accepting immigrants than Jun'an, but Junan caught up from behind, developed a variety of industries, and frequently traded with Europe. Many immigrants who came to Longevity City directly sat on the The train that crossed the railway went to the east bank and became a resident of Jun'an.

Many Europeans even came to this city after they managed to obtain a residence permit from Daming.Junan has started to become the financial center of North America. It is necessary to use it as a base for development and deployment in North America, regardless of Ming people or Europeans.As a result, when Jun'an went down to the city, there were already rows of skyscrapers.Business became exceptionally prosperous.

Compared with the situation faced by the local Ming Dynasty, North America seems to be more prosperous.
