Australian Storm 1876

  Chapter 246 The Most Coquettish Bar Girl

  As of April 1, 1882, the entire population of Australia was less than 4.3 million, and more than 90% of the population was concentrated in the highly developed southeastern part of Australia.

  If you use the territories of Greater China as an analogy, it is almost the location of Fujian and Guangdong and Guangxi. The immigrant groups dominated by the Red River Valley forces occupy Fujian and other places, and their influence has spread to the northern Guangdong region (Beilun Town on the Kangsby Plateau).

  Southern white diehard forces control the Guangdong and Guangxi regions (need to subtract the northern Guangdong region that was eroded by the Red River Valley forces).

The representative of the Red River Valley is the two twin cities of Brisbane River and Red River Valley, as well as a series of starry emerging cities such as Qinglong City, White Tiger City, Suzaku City, Xuanwu City, Songjiang Town, Pine Town, Beilun Town, etc. town.

  This highly developed area has a population of more than 2 million people, of which 85% are Chinese, and there are about 300,000 white people.

  In the vast northern part of Queensland, with a population of 210,000, the white and Chinese immigrants dominated by the ranch economy account for half of them. It is a promising place for future development.

But this is only the future and not the present. In Queensland, which covers an area of ​​more than 170,000 square kilometers, the Queensland Earls Territory accounts for only 4%, but it accounts for 76.24% of the state's gross national product income (New South Wales Territory) Not included).

The more southern Guangdong and Guangxi regions (New South Wales and Victoria) have been developed for a longer time. The vast fertile fields are full of pastures, villages and towns, and there are large cities led by Melbourne and Sydney. They are the essence of white colonies with a century-long history. .

The population of these two states is as high as 1.9 million, of which Chinese immigrants account for about 30%, and the rest are traditional white immigrant groups, including white descendants from England, Ireland, Italy, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain and the United States. Among them, native whites accounted for the majority.

However, most other areas in Australia are generally less developed. If northern Queensland is uninhabited, South Australia is also uninhabited, while Western Australia is uninhabited, and the entire Gobi Desert in central Australia is completely forbidden for life. .

   Therefore, to truly control Australia is to control the four core cities. In terms of population and economic importance, they are Red River Valley, Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney.

Originally, according to Li Fushou’s idea, he used 12 to 15 years to subtly change Australia’s demographic structure. In the end, whether it was democratically elected or seized power by force, he eventually became the true speaker of this vast continent, far away from his home country. Beyond the waves of thousands of miles, create a truly Chinese-dominated South Pacific paradise.

  He is not in a hurry, he can afford to wait.

  However, the changes in the situation did not develop as expected. After entering the seventh year, the situation took a turn for the worse.

  The white stubborn forces in the south were ready to move by taking advantage of the war in the north. Not only did they test the bottom line of the Red River Valley again and again, but also openly gathered troops for training. Violence and vicious incidents against immigrant groups continued to increase, showing an explosive growth trend.

  The Earl of Queensland has written to Downing Street many times, strongly expressing his opposition to the southern paranoid exclusion policy. London's attitude is ambiguous, and he has played the Tai Chi push hand trick that he has always been good at.

  Since it is impossible to decide, put it aside.

  Although the current situation tends to be tense, Queensland’s northern development strategy must be unswervingly implemented, which is conducive to expanding the northern economy, and conducive to expanding the influence and penetration of immigrants, and conducive to comprehensive control of Queensland.

  As a world-class excellent pasture, Australia is most suitable for the development of animal husbandry. Li Fushou does not want the Chinese to be absent in this important field. He needs to cultivate a group of Chinese ranchers with a wealth of life and stubborn and conservative thinking.

  As the southward development encounters many obstacles, the importance of the northern development has been highlighted. This is a long-term plan that will last for 10 years, 20 years or even longer.

Li Fushou is not worried about the assimilation ability of the Chinese nation. When a white rancher’s neighbors are all Chinese ranchers, he talks, talks, and does Mass in Chinese. He usually likes to buy some fried dough sticks, steamed buns and soy juice in the town. In his free time , I like to listen to Beijing opera records, the whole hot pot, Cantonese roast geese when drinking, and then we get married and recognize someone, and the cultural genes are rooted.

   Coupled with appropriate policy guidance, for example, Queensland government employees must be able to speak Chinese, and they can be promoted and raise their salary. There is room for promotion. Factory managers must be able to speak Chinese, otherwise even the workers will not be able to command.

  Queensland has such a huge immigrant population, who can’t speak Chinese, can’t do business, can’t make money, and can’t even buy buns on the street. It can be said that it’s hard to move an inch.

  Under such a social environment, why worry about the failure of major events?

  Qingdao Town

  This is a seaside port on the east coast of Australia, about 670 kilometers north of the Port of Brisbane, right in the middle of the east coast of Australia, and it is the bay with the best port conditions on the coastline of more than 1,000 kilometers.

The bay port of Qingdao Town is wide and deep, and it is a typical surrounding bay. There are two small islands at the entrance of the bay, which just block the waves set off in the sea off Tasmania, dividing the bay entrance into one large and one small. channel.

  The main channel is about 1.7 kilometers wide and the water depth is more than 12 meters. It can freely enter and exit ships of 50,000 tons. The auxiliary channel is about 300 meters wide and the water depth is about 7 meters. There is no problem in freely entering and exiting ships under 8,000 tons.

  The climate is like spring all year round and the scenery is pleasant.

  The waves on the azure blue sea rolled, and large swarms of seabirds flocked and soared on the sea, a beautiful picture of the original and undeveloped.

  Yes, such a good harbor condition, such a good place, turned out to be completely undeveloped.

  If it is in a densely populated mainland area, this has long been an important seaport city, with endless boats and a prosperous population, and villages connected by rice paddies.

  And here, there is only a newly-built small town with a population of about a few hundred people. Outside the town, there are endless wasteland hills, crisscrossing streams, and no one is inhabited.

  No way, the population is small!

  More than a month

The migration team headed by Old Mike finally arrived in Qingdao. More than 20 people brought a rare and lively atmosphere to this deserted town. This is the third migration team that arrived this month and once again brought more than 20 to the town. A population, and a large herd of cattle and sheep.

  Walking in the town of Qingdao, you can see that almost all houses are built from logs. From the green bark, it can be seen that the time is not long, it is completely a newly-built town.

Due to the importance of the town’s geographical location, Honghe Valley Industrial Corporation invested a lot of money here, and built all the more than 800-meter-long streets in the town’s core area with complete drainage facilities. Unsurprisingly, the Fulinmen Hotel, Huitong Bank and Telegraph office, Carrefour department store, wool purchasing station are all available.

  Old Mike took his family and walked around all the commercial facilities in fifteen minutes. Among them, he spent twelve minutes in the Carrefour department store, and the other places did not exceed three minutes together.

  Really nothing to see. Huitong Bank has only three business outlets, two of them are high school graduates this year, and there is only one old employee.

  The same is true for the Telegraph Bureau, but they have a little more manpower. There are 7 people, including professional telegraph transmitters and receivers. According to the current business volume of Qingdao Town, they will be in a loss for a long time.

  The focus of these two facilities is to serve the wool collection station. Only in the annual shearing season will they get busy, and now they are dozing off leisurely.

The Carrefour department store is located in 4 two-story wooden houses upstairs and downstairs. There is a yard used as a warehouse and staff dormitory at the back. The upper floor is probably a manager’s office and bedroom or meeting room. Animal husbandry utensils, nails, iron rakes, shovels, iron axes, iron knives, pots and pans, needles, needles, cloth salt, candles, kerosene, gas tanks, gas stoves, etc. No.

There is not much room to choose from in the store. For example, there are only two kinds of cloth, white cloth and blue cloth, salt only has fine edible salt, candles are burn-resistant butter candles, pots and pans look silly and thick, and they are really strong. , Just don’t think about the pattern and shape, all there is no.

  Those beautiful and exquisite Qing Dynasty porcelain, lace tablecloths, and no exquisite and cute daily necessities. This result made the woman disappointed and the man let out a long sigh of relief.

  The obvious advantage is that it is impossible to buy the wrong things, which is in line with the pioneering group's slogan of hard work, diligence and thrift.

   Most of the people who come and go in the town are Chinese. Zhao Qishan unexpectedly saw a few Fuso women in kimonos here. When he saw a man passing by, he would stand on the side of the road and bow respectfully. Looks good.

  Most of these Fusang women are engaged in brothels, which are found in all cities and towns in Australia. Unexpectedly, this is also in the newly established Qingdao Town. This made Ma Limin very interested, and he quietly stabbed Zhao Qishan;

   "Brother Qishan, do you see those Japanese women?"

   "Just say anything, I'm not blind."

   "Hey... don't have any thoughts in my mind?"

"No, not at all. I just thought of going to the town tavern to have a couple of drinks, and after a breath of breath, I would have to do a lot of work. We have a lot of things to do during the rest of the time, and we have to go to the town office to go through the formalities. We need to clarify the boundaries of the range of the pasture, put up the boundary markers, go to Huitong Bank to loan some money, recruit some people to help us build houses, build barns and fences, and cultivate a small piece of land to grow food, vegetables, chickens, and pigs. That's right. I have to build chicken sheds and pig houses. I can’t live in the caravan all the time. Do you think so many things are weighing on me, do I still have the mind to think about other things? Earn a copper penny on him."

   "Uh...this is also true."

  Hearing what Zhao Qishan said, Ma Weimin's original interest was immediately extinguished. Thinking about the arduous task he was about to face, he immediately turned into a bitter face.

  These 6 families are not only a small group, connected to each other on the ranch, but also a small mutual aid organization, coordinated and directed by Old Mike.

Before building their respective homes, their respective herds of cattle and sheep graze in a unified manner. During this period, Hudson and recruited cowboys were the main ones. The men gathered together and recruited workers to build their homes and barns together, allowing several ranchers His wife and daughter have a place to stay.

This important event must be completed before the end of the year. It only takes more than 7 months to calculate. If we calculate each house with three wooden houses, one barn and one stall, six houses are not a small project. All of this is required. Build on your own.

  Wait until it settles down, and then slowly add houses, barns, and at least shelter the newborn lamb cowboys from wind and rain. If possible, rebuild the masonry houses. That will be three to five years later.

  Count it down, there are so many things that make your scalp numb.

   "Man, you are really disappointing." Ma Limin looked a little depressed.

Zhao Qishan smiled, and walked behind Old Mike into the only tavern in the town. When he entered the door, under the watch of the tavern mate, he untied the wide leather belt with the revolver and yellow bullets on his waist and threw it on the table. There was a heavy muffled noise on the board, and then turned around and said;

"I don’t know if it’s a disappointment, but I’m pretty sure that in the remaining few months, you will be so tired that you won’t even have the strength to touch your own woman. After we have settled on the stakes, we have to cut the wood, and then use the horse to drag the wood out of the forest. After cleaning the branches, sawing them into wooden boards and drying them in the shade, and then when the sheep shearing season comes, we must rush the sheep to the town to shear the wool. After the sale, we hire workers to build houses and graze them, and continue to dry them like livestock until the end of the year, so we cherish the present. Let’s have a leisure time and have a good drink."

These words made Ma Limin's face a bitter melon. He threw his long and short guns on the table in front of the barman, let him put them away and locked them in the cabinet, and then threw a handful of cabinets. key.

Ma Limin took the key to the cabinet and glared at Zhao Qishan's back, and said angrily; "I want to taste all the wine in your tavern today, whether it's burning knives, sugar cane wine, gin, or bourbon. It's still sweet potato wine and beer. I will give me double portions. Let the most coquettish waitress in your store bring them up. I want to have a big drink today."

   "As you wish, Mr. Cowboy."

  This guy with obvious Spanish descent shrugged his shoulders. He has curly black hair and the darker complexion of the Mediterranean people. He has seen cowboys like Ma Limin a lot.

There are a lot of people in the town’s new ranch, and many people do it by themselves to minimize expenses. The continuous high-intensity physical work is undoubtedly a torture. Every time you come from the wasteland, the town is unkempt and looks like a savage, and needs to relax completely. one time.

  I get drunk every time, unconscious, and wake up with a splitting headache the next morning, regretting the absurd behavior of the previous day.

  If you have enough money in your pocket, you will get up on a soft bed the next day, and there may be a bar girl breathing around.

  If you are too poor, the guys will throw out the drunk guests and let them spend a good night in the haystack or in the corner.

  "All the wine will be given to this gentleman. Please take it to the most coquettish aunt Karina in our shop. This generous gentleman will not stingy with the tip." The man shouted with a smirk.

Behind the heavy bar counter, the curtain was raised, and a middle-aged white woman who was 1.8 meters tall came out. Aunt Karina shiningly appeared on the stage, and she strode out with a drunk male customer in her right hand. Carrying it in his hand, like a little chicken, the wooden floor of the store shook "Boom...".

  Walking to the door of the store with a wave of his right hand, the guest was thrown out several meters away and fell onto the muddy ground.

   "This idiot doesn't even have a silver shilling on him, and he wants to take advantage of my old lady, bah!"

  Aunt Karina sipped angrily, turned her head and stared at her mate and said; "You slippery kid, what did you call me just now?"

  "A customer ordered a double serving of drinks in the store and needed the service of the most coquettish barmaid in our store. I think he should be referring to you. This generous customer will not stingy with tips."

"Yes, Not Bad."

Aunt Karina’s sturdy arms are thicker than the guy’s thighs, her chest is naturally stalwart, her thin skirt almost burst, and a large piece of creamy white is exposed under her neck. She proudly pats the thin boy on the shoulder and said; You cunning boy finally did a good thing. If there is a good thing, remember to remember your aunt, but your body is like a little chicken. When you get a tip, the aunt will ask you to drink a glass of milk."

  On the other side of the table

  Old Mike, Hudson, Zhao Qishan, Mai Guangtian, Lu Qiang and others looked at the fat and strong woman speechlessly, then silently looked at Ma Limin, and found that his bitter melon face became more bitter.

   "How heavy does this old lady weigh?"

   "I guess at least 250 pounds. I bet two pounds. Does anyone call?"

   "Call a fart! Do you see how thick her arms and legs are? I bet 5 pounds, this woman is not less than 260 pounds, have you ever called."

   "Tsk tusk... Brother Limin is miserable."

  Several gentlemen who are not too troubled to watch the excitement, you ridicule one sentence by one sentence, watching Karina Great God come by holding a tray full of drinks with two fingers, your eyes are straight.

There are at least 20 wine glasses on the bulky square wooden tray. They are all round glass cups of about 2 taels. The weight of the tray is no less than 15 pounds. The fat woman squeezed it with two fingers, as if light. If nothing is normal.

  "Is it the double drink you want? My Mr. Cowboy." Aunt Karina asked condescendingly.

"Uh...Yes." Ma Limin sat on the chair and looked up, feeling a mountain of meat pressing on him, his face turned pale; "Thank you for bringing the wine to Aunt Karina, let's rush After more than two months of travel, I just need a drink to relax."

   "Excellent, this is the double drink you ordered. You will enjoy the care of Aunt Karina, just as you expected."

   "Thank you, we can do it ourselves."

   "No problem, Mr. Cowboy from the wilderness." Aunt Karina threw the heavy wooden tray on the table, making a muffled sound, and a lot of the wine in the glass was spilled out of the violent shaking.

But Aunt Karina didn’t even look at it. Her face turned from sunny to cloudy. She put one hand on the chair behind Ma Limin and one hand on the table in front of him, looking like a giant bear hugging her. Little Bear said with a strong sense of oppression; "If I heard you right, you want the most coquettish lady in the shop to serve you, and I am, you can't find anyone more coquettish than me in the whole town, and You can say that you can do it now. Does this mean that my tip is missing?"

   As if to prove what she said, she also seemed to be leaning down and strangling her chest uncomfortably. Aunt Karina put her hand on her chest, really like a huge wave.

  Ma Limin's eyelids twitched violently. He estimated that Aunt Karina would help him with her life, and she would have to get rid of the nine stops. I really appreciate it.

"No, no no... I think you have misunderstood, Aunt Karina, I am very satisfied with the double drink you brought up. These are two pound transfer gold tickets. After paying for the sake, there will be at least leftovers. The next 9 silver shillings, I think it should be your tip."

"You are such a lovely little guy." After receiving the golden ticket, Aunt Karina's face turned cloudy and clear, and she squeezed Ma Limin's bitter gourd face, which almost deformed his face, and then attached it to it. He said in a voice that everyone in the bar can hear; "Auntie won't take your money for nothing, come to see me later, we need a quiet place to stay alone for a while, those little Fusang ladies It's so bad, I will let you know what is the most coquettish woman."

  After finishing speaking, he twisted his fat hip and left.

  This is the roar of laughter in the bar. The other cowboys laughed happily. They are all old acquaintances in this bar. Of course, they have also received the personal service of Aunt Karina. Don't mention the sourness...

  　 The update is too late, I am sorry to ask for a monthly pass and a recommendation ticket. The 5600-word chapter apologizes!
