Red Alert 1895

When the first batch of immigrants were transferred from Taiwan to Nanyang, Nanyang officials immediately began to check and collect. Then many people also got the allocation of land, and began to farm happily. They vented that the climate here in Nanyang is warm and the land is relatively fertile, and they can even grow three crops of rice a year! This immediately overjoyed those who did not have land in the country. The resentment they had been forced to come here at the beginning disappeared, and then they began to prepare for farming. After all, these lands can produce oil, so fertile. The land is really lucrative.

However, at the same time, some problems have emerged, and they are still very serious problems.

"My lord Wang, less than a day has passed since the arrival of the immigrants. There has been a great conflict between our Lanfang locals and those immigrants. Our Lanfang Police Department, um, our Lanfang Provincial Police Department received five or six reports within a day. News of ten complaints." Said Liu Fuyan, director of the Lanfang Police Department.

This Liu Fuyan was previously valued by Wang Guorui because he opposed the British coming to Lanfang. Although he was from the Liu family, since he was able to stand firm in the aspect of national justice, he could be reused as appropriate. And he was also promoted from a "minister of agriculture" who had no real power to become the minister of security, responsible for local security issues. As a result, he just took office, and the immigrants from the mainland caused a lot of conflicts, which made him, the Minister of Security, feel stuck and had a headache. These immigrants were all from the mainland, and they were all from Wang Guorui's hometown, so he, the Minister of Security, couldn't deal with it without authorization, so they had no choice but to come here and ask Wang Guorui for instructions.

"What's going on? Fifty or sixty reports a day, ten times more than before!" Wang Guorui exclaimed.

After immigrating, the crime rate has actually increased by more than ten times. It's just horrible. What is going on with these immigrants, and the conflict with the locals is so huge?

Liu Fuyan immediately said: "Master Wang, I really have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not!"

"Speak!" Wang Guorui said.

"My lord, it's not a good thing to say. What kind of things did you get from the country! There is no discipline, and you demand cards from the local people, and often harass the local people. We, the local people in Lanfang, these immigrants, are all Very disgusted, and even had the idea of ​​​​resisting the immigrants! These immigrants are simply too bad." Liu Fuyan said.

Wang Guorui frowned. Obviously feeling a little helpless. And Wang Guorui soon held a meeting to discuss the work of these immigrants.

"Everyone, we didn't think carefully before, so we found that these immigrants have a lot of garbage. Our first batch of immigrants were all from the cooperation of the domestic government. Then we forcibly pulled the beggars and criminals in the prison. The composition of immigrants is not considered too much. Now we have discovered a huge problem. First of all, those beggars can still be solved. After all, those beggars are still more eager for land, and they are willing to cultivate it after they have land. But there are still some beggars. , They have been begging for a long time, and have lost the ability to work like they used to. They have become accustomed to begging for a living. So they have become lazy. And these guys have been begging for a long time, become extremely slippery, and also It is very rude and unscrupulous. It is very destructive to the local security atmosphere."

"As for the other part, it is directly taken from the prisons in the mainland. Although there are many unjust prisons in the mainland, generally speaking, there are still more criminals in the prisons and fewer kind people. There are many criminals in the prisons, and now Just bring them here, and then let them go. They are also a huge challenge to our security issues here. They are not good birds at first, and many of them are members of society such as Tiandihui Hongmen. They There are a lot of lazy people who are good at harming the people. But when it comes to production and life, they have lost the ability to produce and live. They are all refined and rely on extortion and robbery for a living. It will cost a lot to get education back. If you want to get education back, it obviously feels a bit outweighed by the loss."

"Also, if the problems of these guys are not solved, I am afraid that the local people will be very resistant to those immigrants. After all, a rat droppings can spoil a pot of soup, and if these immigrants are like this, it will be easy for this local The people hate these immigrants very much. At that time, they will resist all immigrants, which will also be a division among us Chinese, so this issue must be resolved.”

And Wang Guorui's little wife and secretary Kang Tongwei immediately said: "Master Wang, this is because we didn't think carefully. We didn't expect that the officials from the mainland would directly get people from the prison cells and directly arrest beggars. We spent this money. It’s not worth it! We spent a lot of money, but we only got back such a few things, it’s not worth it.”

Everyone felt that it was not worth the money. After all, those Manchu officials directly sent people to the streets to arrest beggars, hooligans, and those **** in prisons. In the end, many scumbags were sent to Nanyang. And those domestic Manchu and Qing officials are also scammers. They took the opportunity to drive those socially unstable elements to Nanyang, and put this burden on Wang Guorui, and they can still get money. This is simply killing two birds with one stone. But now that Wang Guorui wanted to eat this bitter fruit for them, it was obviously not very pleasant. But now that the deal is done, everyone must find a way to solve this problem, otherwise there will be big troubles.

"But we are indeed in a bit of a dilemma. The quality of these guys has deteriorated a lot. If they are asked to work honestly, then not many of them are willing. These guys are good at robbery and extortion, and many of them are Entering the palace twice and entering the palace three times, even many of them were punished by the government in mainland China. Although we don't agree with the level of discipline of the Manchus, they failed to educate them so many times. Obviously, these guys are very difficult to educate Then we are willing to educate, but the cost is too high. If we have this opportunity, we might as well recruit more hardworking people.”

But Wang Guorui immediately said: "This time, I really can't completely blame the guys in the mainland. If they mobilize those ordinary people to immigrate, the ordinary people don't say whether they want to come to such a far place, then the ordinary people I'm afraid they won't be willing. But it's impossible for those mainland officials to force them to come here. If they arrest a large number of them, it will definitely cause a civil uprising. So they choose to arrest those local gangsters and criminals, so I'm here From the point above, I understand them. These criminals and beggars are the best good thing that can solve the local public security problem and win the hearts of the people. So, if we encounter such a thing, we will all do the same."

"But what to do, then we have to solve it! If we don't solve it, it will cause conflicts between immigrants and local people, and it will not be a good thing to make local people fight!" Kang Tongwei said helplessly again.

And everyone was silent, this gang of criminals was too difficult to teach, they were used to doing evil to gain benefits, so naturally they would not want to return to the lives of ordinary people. It's like a veteran who has fought a war all his life. Once he retires to a certain place, what he learns in the army are those "dragon slaying techniques" that kill people, and he doesn't know the livelihood skills of the people at all. unemployment. And they are already used to killing people, and it is too difficult to change them.

The same is true of this gangster criminal. They are used to getting something for nothing, and they are also used to gaining benefits by killing and plundering. It is too difficult for them to change suddenly. So now they are all in a helpless situation. If they are asked to work, they have not lost their ability to work. Even if Taiwan is willing to teach them, they may not be willing to learn. This is a mentality issue, not a capacity issue. The country is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change. It is too difficult to educate them well.

"Let's think of a way together, hold a Zhuge Liang meeting, and see what good solutions everyone has to solve these problems!" Wang Guorui said.

"Hmph, isn't it just these local ruffians? My mother has a way!" Tan Ya said.

"Well~www.readwn.com~Tanya, what can you do?" Wang Guorui asked.

"Actually, we can form mercenaries and let them help us fight!" Tan Ya said.

"What? Mercenaries?" Wang Guorui exclaimed.

And everyone also looked at each other, obviously did not expect Tanya to say such an extreme method. Let them form some mercenaries, and then go to help Taiwan fight the war? This is simply incredible, because in traditional Chinese thinking, armed forces such as the army must be in the hands of the government, and private individuals cannot. And these officials have also known what mercenaries are during this period of time, so of course they know that mercenaries are also some outlaws, and then they want money to die. And they have no morals, as long as you give them money, they will help you fight. And this is definitely an unstable factor in society. China has been cracking down on it since ancient times, but Tanya actually took the initiative to say this, which really surprised them.

If it weren't for Tan Ya's high martial arts skills and fierce fighting power, then everyone would have started to question Tan Ya, even if she was Wang Guorui's woman.

"Tanya, do you have anything to say?" Wang Guorui asked. (to be continued)
