Chapter 3047
Wang Anbang spoke out his recent thoughts. Although some of his views were a bit naive, he roughly described the problems encountered during the recruitment process.
In the eyes of the natives, the Haihan people are uninvited intruders. Whether doing business or recruiting soldiers, these are the means by which the Haihan people try to change the way of life of the indigenous people for thousands of years, and the vast majority of the indigenous people are very resistant to this.
In the final analysis, the main reason is that the cultural differences between different races are too great, and the resulting conflicts of interest are difficult to resolve. Let alone Wang Anbang, even in the time and space before his father traveled through time, the most powerful empire in the world could not properly resolve the conflict of interests with the indigenous people.
Wang Tom said: "It seems that the problems you mentioned cannot be solved in a short time. We can only be patient and take our time."
Wang Anbang asked: "Does father have any plans?"
Wang Tom said: "The integration process between different ethnic groups is very slow, ranging from a few generations to hundreds or thousands of years. But our advantage is that Haihan is an advanced civilization and there are many ways to influence the local indigenous people. Subtle influence ”
"Trade is the easiest way to achieve it. Through trade, we can exert various influences on the indigenous people and let them gradually become familiar with Haihan."
"Culture and education were also the most common method we used to tame naturalized people in the past. However, it is not easy to use this method locally. I estimate that it will take a long time before local schools can recruit students from indigenous tribes."< br>
"There is another simple and effective way, which is to seek peace. The effect this can have on bringing the two parties closer is unmatched by other means."
When it comes to the topic of marriage, Wang Tom has no taboos. Wang Anbang's mother married into the Wang family as a concubine, which was also the nature of marriage. Afterwards, although her family could not be said to have achieved enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascended to heaven, they did receive a lot of convenience and special care, and their status in North Korea was very stable.
Wang Anbang saw his father looking at him, but he misunderstood what he meant. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Father, my child does not want to marry the natives."
Tom Wang smiled and said: "If you want to go, your eldest brother has to be in front of the queue, how can you not do it!"
Wang Anbang sneered and said: "Father, since there won't be any major changes in the recruitment issue for a while, can you arrange other errands for me?"
Wang Tom said: "What errand do you want to do?"
"How about helping my elder brother?" Wang Anbang asked tentatively.
Wang Tom said: "In short, you just don't want to stay at Jinshan Port with peace of mind, right?"
Wang Tom led an army attack last year and established a new port stronghold one thousand six hundred miles south of Jinshan Port.
But this area is already bordering the Spanish colonies in North America, and the local indigenous tribes are far more courageous than their compatriots in the north, and their rejection of outsiders is stronger. Therefore, this stronghold has faced great external risks since its establishment.
At the beginning of this year, Wang Tom decided to send Wang Anguo to lead a force to station in the area to ensure the security of this stronghold.
However, Wang Anguo is still completing preparations for departure at Jinshan Port. Wang Anbang obviously does not just want to help his brother, but also wants to follow him to a new stronghold in the south.
Tom Wang said sternly: "Your elder brother's trip south is not an ordinary errand. When we get there, war is likely to break out."
Wang Anbang also put away his smile and said: "Father, it is precisely because there may be war that I want to go."
Wang Tom shook his head and said: "Don't tell me, go and tell your mother first. If she agrees, then come to me." Wang Anbang said anxiously: "My mother has always been timid. How can she agree if she knows!"
No matter how much Wang Anbang talked, Wang Tom still didn't let go. In desperation, Wang Anbang went to Wang Anguo first to see if he could help him come up with ideas to facilitate this matter.
Wang Anguo was counting supplies at the naval base at this time. After hearing Wang Anbang explain his purpose, he felt helpless: "My father's attitude clearly shows that he doesn't want you to take risks, so why should you go against him?"
"Brother, good men are everywhere. As the son of a famous general, I have not made any achievements at the age of eighteen. How do outsiders view this?" Wang Anbang had already thought of his words and immediately began to persuade Wang Anguo.
Wang Anguo didn't dare to take the initiative and agree to him, so he resorted to a delaying tactic and asked Wang Anbang to help count the supplies first.
In this expedition, Wang Anguo will lead a fleet consisting of four warships, four troop ships, six supply ships, and a battalion of infantry to supplement the local forces.
In addition to these people and horses, there are also a large number of supplies that need to be transported to the local area. Food and daily necessities are the most important parts.
Since the stronghold built by Haihan in the local area has not yet been completed, it has not yet reached the stage of reclaiming land to grow food. All rations and materials can only rely on the transportation of Jinshan Port.
"Go and help me count the medicines." Wang Anguo handed Wang Anbang a list and pointed out the location of the warehouse: "Check one item one by one. If you count one item, write it off."
Wang Anbang wanted to count the weapons and ammunition, but his brother refused to assign him this task, so he had to settle for the next best thing.
Wang Anbang originally wanted to finish counting in threes and twos and quickly pick up the next errand, but after looking at the list, he realized that this errand was not easy.
There are nearly a hundred kinds of medicinal materials, most of which were purchased from China the year before last. Due to the different water and soil environment in North America, the cultivation effect of many medicinal materials here is not ideal, so we may have to rely on domestic supply for a long time.
The various types of medical supplies also dazzled Wang Anbang. Some of the medical equipment he had never seen before, and he had to consult the military doctor next to him from time to time.
In this way, it was not until noon that Wang Anbang could barely count half of the supplies on the list.
It wasn't until Wang Anguo came to call him that he stopped what he was doing and followed Wang Anguo to the officers' mess for lunch.
At the dinner table, Wang Anbang naturally took the initiative to mention his plan to go on an expedition with his brother.
Wang Anguo put down his chopsticks and said: "Anbang, the real battlefield is completely different from the training school where you used to stay. The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and life and death are often a matter of confrontation. I can't let you take risks. ”
Wang Anbang said: "If I never go to the battlefield, wouldn't it mean that I never have actual combat experience?"
Wang Anguo said: "It's useless for you to talk to me. I'll give you an idea. You go back and convince your mother first. She nodded. Then it will be much easier to persuade your father."
Wang Anbang frowned and said: "Why are you saying exactly the same thing as my father? I think you have discussed it in advance, right?"
