Because the evacuation was too hasty, the Qing government could not take away much of the wealth it collected from the Central Plains.
Of course, they were lucky not to take away too much wealth.
Otherwise, the Third Division of the Xinghai First Army, which subsequently took over the capital, would not let the Qing government go away so easily.
As the Qing court withdrew, a notice, well, it should be said to be an edict, from Zhang Feifei, the chief executive of the Xinghai Kingdom, spread to all the provinces under the Qing court.
The main idea of the edict is very simple, that is, starting from today, these places will be under the jurisdiction of Xinghai Kingdom and accept the management of Xinghai Kingdom.
All local officials need to abide by their duties, maintain social order, and wait for members of the Xinghai Kingdom to take over the power.
Many local officials who were ennobled by the Qing court were completely confused about this.
Why did everything change in the blink of an eye?
He betrayed his colleagues and colluded with the Qing government to betray the country, and finally managed to get a good price!
Now suddenly the Qing court ran away?
Then why did Xinghai Kingdom come and take over?
Wouldn’t he be about to be counterattacked?
This realization made many local officials of the Qing government despair and collapse.
Many local officials of the Qing court quietly packed up their belongings at the first opportunity and tried to escape. But what they never expected was that before they left the city, they were stopped by the people in the city.
I used to follow the Qing government to harm everyone and oppress good people, but now I want to run away? No way!
Some local officials of the Qing court hanged themselves, jumped into wells, and committed suicide by taking poison.
There were even some local officials of the Qing court who became ruthless and immediately established an independent kingdom to resist the takeover of Xinghai Kingdom by force.
It can be said to be the appearance of all living beings.
As for those who are squatting in place, waiting for Xinghai Kingdom to take over, there are only a few.
However, all this chaos came to nothing after the arrival of the takeover officials from the Xinghai Kingdom.
Taking over officers traveling to various places are protected by at least one company of soldiers.
In order to gather the number of soldiers responsible for maintaining public security in various places, Xinghai Kingdom also specially transferred a group of soldiers from overseas territories.
Of course, these soldiers are only used to deter dissatisfaction and maintain law and order. After the naturalized civilian officials take over the political power in various places and establish corresponding units, their tasks will shift to establishing second- and third-line troops in each place.
.
As long as units and institutions in various places are established and second and third-line troops are established, the rule of Xinghai Kingdom can be extended smoothly.
The territory given up by the Qing government was not small. The combined area of all provinces was almost more than two million square kilometers.
With such a large area, it takes a lot of time and energy just to rectify the public security order in various places, establish units and institutions, etc.
What's more, after the Xinghai Kingdom took over, the refugees accumulating in many places also needed the Xinghai Kingdom to take over.
Of course, for Xinghai Kingdom, this is a much-desired good thing. The total number of refugees in these places is no less than three million.
It would be difficult for other forces to solve it at all, and the elders who control the major overseas territories of the Star Sea Kingdom have long been eyeing this piece of fat.
They even went to great lengths to take warships back from overseas, or took the risk of taking newly commissioned aircraft to rush back.
There is only one purpose, to find the Ministry of Civil Affairs to divide the immigration quota.
This is also a helpless thing.
Although the population of Xinghai Kingdom has now increased to 16 million, excluding the populations of Zhejiang, Jiangshu, Anhui and Hainan Island, the other overseas consular populations are actually only about 5 million.
These overseas territories occupy vast lands such as Lusong, Tuao, Tianzhu Nixiya, Malai Nixiya, Persian Gulf, Suis Canal, etc., with a total land area of more than 18 million square kilometers!
Although places like Tuao have so much desert in the center that the habitable zone is only the entire coastline, which is 30% of the total area, there are still 2.3 million square kilometers of habitable area.
In short, a population of 5 million is spread over 18 million square kilometers of land, with less than 0.3 people per square kilometer.
The population of these overseas territories are mostly distributed in ports and settlements.
The population of many ports exceeds 100,000 people.
This has invisibly amplified the problem of population gap.
According to the deductions and estimates of the Ministry of National Development of Xinghai Kingdom, if we want to fully tap the resources, land, etc. potential of these places, the population must not be less than 200 million!
But obviously, with such a large population, it would not be enough for Xinghai Kingdom to move the entire Ming Dynasty there.
However, according to the requirements of the "1661-1666 Development Outline" newly launched by the chief executive of Xinghai State, the basic overseas consular population of Xinghai State needs to be increased to 10 million!
It also put forward detailed requirements for the population development of each overseas territory.
In other words, by 1666, the total overseas consular population must have doubled!
In five years, the population doubled!
Not to mention that the survival rate of newborns today is no better than that of later generations. It is estimated that it will be very difficult to achieve this goal if all the population of childbearing age is tied up at home to have children.
This is also the reason why the ruling elders from various overseas consulates are rushing back to Xinghai City.
If you want to rapidly increase the basic population, you still need to immigrate.
But now there are more than 3 million refugees in front of us. If we don't divide them up, we will have a headache when the development outline is reviewed in five years.
Don't think that the elders are really supreme.
In this kind of national-level plan, if you don't do well, you will step down as soon as possible and replace other capable elders to govern overseas territories.
It's that simple.
For the career-minded and ambitious senators, squatting in the Senate, eating dividends every year, and enjoying it while lying down is not what they are willing to pursue.
Besides, now Xinghai Kingdom is gradually developing.
I believe that it won't be long before some small territories will be divided among the elders so that they can have a space of their own. Well, it is equivalent to a disguised form of earth-splitting feudal lordship.
Give you a piece of land, with permanent legal rights to rule it, and build it however you want.
At this time, if you have no merit, why should the Senate assign you a good position and a beautiful territory?
Besides, even if it is only allocated to some tourist islands, there will definitely be differences between the tourist islands.
In short, if you want to get more, you have to pay more. There is no free lunch in the world.
In just a few days, more than 3 million refugees were divided among themselves.
As the most important source of iron ore, bauxite, and uranium ore in Xinghai Kingdom, Tu'ao received the largest share.
One-third of the more than 3 million refugees were distributed to the overseas territories of Tu and Ao.
This made Yang Minghao, the current governor of Tu'ao Overseas Territory, very happy. He even hosted a banquet for Fang Xiaoyue at the most famous Supreme Seafood Restaurant in Xinghai City.
Well, in this matter, Fang Xiaoyue played a role as the chief elder.
