Unlike the National Defense Forces who paid a huge price to acquire newly occupied land, Lopez Jr. waited for work. When the National Defense Forces held back the Brazilian army, he occupied Mato Grosso do Sul and the Misiones Province of Argentina, spending only a small amount of troops to conquer the country.
The area has nearly doubled.
Although Lopez's behavior was based on national interests, many generals of the National Defense Forces regarded it as a betrayal of the National Defense Forces. Not only did Paraguay stand by and watch the National Defense Forces when they were most critical, but after the National Defense Forces achieved a decisive victory, Paraguay took the opportunity to occupy Argentina.
Province of Siones.
As the head of the Four-Nation Alliance, Lopez Jr. failed to fulfill his responsibilities as an ally when Brazil declared war on Rio Grande do Sul.
Lopez Jr.'s performance in the war caused a rift in bilateral relations. Therefore, the National Defense Forces did not participate in the battle between the Brazilian army and the Paraguayan army in the state of Magroso do Sul.
The South American region gradually returned to calm after the melee. After the King of Prussia proclaimed himself emperor, the British side was busy helping France get out of the crisis and doing various tasks to prevent Germany from dominating Europe. The British government was vetoing the chaos in South America.
After the decision to directly send troops to intervene, it increased its support for Brazil and Chile to balance the strength of Paraguay and Rio Grande do Sul.
After another great victory in the foreign war, the influence of the National Defense Forces became more and more important among overseas Chinese. Overseas Chinese such as Chen Jinzhong, Hu Yaji, Zhang Fanglin and others joined Rio Grande do Sul under the recruitment of branches of the National Defense Forces such as the Taiping Society.
Huang Naishang, Xi Zhengpu, Wu Tiaoqing and other talents from the mainland area also agreed to join the Rio Grande do Sul under the various persuasion and arrangements of the person in charge of the National Defense Force's stronghold in the mainland, and served as a foreign comprador in the southern concession of the mainland for the National Defense Force.
Serve.
The gold that Li Mingyuan had obtained was all consumed in the war, and the vigorously developed rubber industry and new industries and products such as bicycles, pressurized water wells, and rubber-soled cloth shoes quickly became the main financial source of the Rio Grande do Sul government. From the end of the large-scale war at the end of 10
By the time Li Mingyuan became the King of Han in 2015, the domestic rubber industry and related products had always been a monopoly, providing major economic support for large-scale immigration operations.
Since 2015, European businessmen have been secretly smuggling rubber seeds from countries such as Han and Brazil and transplanting them to Southeast Asia and other places, and some bicycles imitating Han's standards have also begun to appear on the market.
Li Mingyuan understood that Han alone could not prevent the development of the rubber industry and the spread of bicycle technology. Therefore, Li Mingyuan used the rubber sources and bicycle patented technology under his control to exchange for the recognition of Han by various countries and agreed to engage in economic diplomacy and other cooperative relations with Han.
.
After allowing Britain, France, Germany and other countries to obtain rubber seeds from Han and transplant them to their colonies, Han's advantage in the rubber industry did not disappear in a short period of time. On the contrary, due to the development of the third industrial revolution, the rubber industry expanded.
Usage, Han's revenue from the rubber industry has also shown a rapid rise.
In 2015, Li Mingyuan announced the establishment of the Han State, which was independent of Brazil. The Chinese in South America officially had an independent national identity. In the mainland, starting from the beginning of the year, Shanxi, Shandong, Hebei, Shaanxi, and Henan suffered from rare large-scale droughts.
The drought continued to spread throughout North China. In the four years from 15 to 1, more than 10 million people died of starvation due to lack of food, and more than 20 million people fled to other places. However, the Manchu officials responsible for relieving the victims were trapped in the famine.
They made a huge fortune by misappropriating disaster relief grain and silver, occupying the land of the disaster-stricken people, and selling the disaster-stricken people who had nothing to work as laborers overseas. In all these ways, Manchu officials took advantage of the famine to make a lot of wealth, and some loan sharks who colluded with the officials also made a lot of money.
When the bounty is full, one harvest is worth three harvests. Although grain shortages bring disasters to ordinary people, they also bring higher financial opportunities to officials and businessmen than in good harvest years.
Natural disasters and man-made disasters caused a major famine that swept half of China. After Li Mingyuan, who was far away in South America, received the news, he immediately ordered merchant ships belonging to the Han Dynasty Ocean Shipping Company and the Four Kingdoms Shipping Company to go to the Far East to receive refugees.
After five or six years of expansion, the original Rio Grande do Sul Shipping Company had a scale of 300 ships, more than half of which were ships with a displacement of 1,000 tons. They could transport 100,000 immigrants in one round trip, and due to years of immigration and accumulated experience from other countries,
Through cooperative relations, Han can hire more ships to transport refugees.
The mighty fleets either sailed from South America or hired fleets from local Chinese businessmen in Nanyang to transport batches of refugees from the mainland to northern Annan or the Natuna Islands, and then another fleet transported the refugees.
Shipping to South America.
After the end of the nearly four-year operation to transport Chinese refugees regardless of cost, the number of Chinese in Han has surged to 5.2 million. Together with about 100,000 Argentinian whites who are willing to naturalize, the total population of Han has exceeded 5.3 million.
Argentina, which has lost its northern provinces, has a population in southern South America second only to Brazil and Peru, and is truly the most populous country in South America.
Because there were too many people affected by the disaster in the mainland, in addition to the Han refugees who immigrated directly to South America, a large number of refugees were also stranded in the two northern provinces of Annan and the Natuna Islands controlled by the National Defense Forces.
The total population of Quang Ninh and Lang Son provinces in northern Annam is only more than 500,000. After accepting refugees from the mainland, the population reached a maximum of 2 million. Even though refugees were continuously transported to South America, by the beginning of 2016, the remaining
There are more than 700,000 refugees who came down, and the population of the small provinces of Quang Ninh and Lang Son exceeds 1.3 million.
Guangning and Lang Son are the bridgeheads and Nanyang immigration bases for immigrants from the mainland. The large number of refugees gathered there has attracted the attention of the Qing government, and the news of the emergence of a new Chinese country in South America has also spread to Manchuria through various channels.
According to the ears of the Qing officials, the Han State encountered many obstacles from the Manchu and Qing government in the process of accepting refugees. If it were not for the serious corruption of Qing government officials, they would have accepted bribes from the responsible persons of the Han State stationed in the continent and the Manchu and Qing government officials would
Worried that tens of millions of refugees would accumulate in the country and trigger another Taiping-style uprising, Han would not be able to obtain such a large number of immigrants within four years.
Five million people is the maximum population that Han in South America can currently bear. In order to transport refugees from the Far East to South America, Li Mingyuan not only consumed all the wealth accumulated in the ten years since the founding of the country, but also paid a national debt to domestic and overseas Chinese merchants.
Transportation and resettlement of refugees.
If South American Han wants to grow, it needs a steady stream of people from the Far East. Therefore, although South American Han cannot absorb the excess population at this stage, Li Mingyuan has no intention of giving up his plan to recruit Chinese. After careful consideration, Li Mingyuan ordered
Mui Dongxing, who succeeded Sun Bin in charge of the affairs of the two northern provinces of Annan, will transfer the excess population within the controlled areas to Songkhla, Yala, Pattani, Kelantan and other places in the Central Malay Peninsula to increase the proportion of Chinese there.
Mei Dongxing and Long Hongbang were both leaders of the Chinese labor gang from Australia. After choosing to join Li Mingyuan, Mei Dongxing and his other friend Huang Wenzhu did not choose to join the army. Instead, they started as low-level civil servants and assisted Long Hongbang in dealing with the Chinese labor gang.
Immigration affairs were later transferred to the Annan area and accepted the jurisdiction of Sun Bin. Due to Mei Dongxing's outstanding performance in the Annan area, he was promoted to Sun Bin's deputy step by step. After Sun Bin left Annan in 1 year, he recommended Mei Dongxing to be the governor of Nanyang and won the
Li Mingyuan's approval, and Mei Dongxing also became the fastest-promoted person in the Han Dynasty who did not follow Li Mingyuan's uprising.
Mei Dongxing came to the important position for the first time. After accepting Li Mingyuan's order, he did not dare to slack off. While sending people to communicate with Wu Jin, the Lord of Songkhla City, he carefully studied the situation in the Central Malay Peninsula.
Although the central part of the Malay Peninsula is nominally under the jurisdiction of Thailand, it is actually ruled by the Wu family.
Since their ancestor Wu Rang ruled Songkhla in 15 AD, the scope of their rule has continued to expand. During the most prosperous period of their rule,
The Wu family not only ruled Songkhla, but also ruled the three provinces of Pattani, Narathiwat, and Yala in Thailand today, as well as the four states of Malaysia, including Kelantan, Terengganu, Kedah, and Perlis, all of which were also controlled.
With the invasion of the Malay Peninsula by British forces, the areas ruled by the Wu family were constantly invaded by British colonists. By 1 year, the Wu family had lost control of Kedah, Perlis, and Terengganu. Kelantan,
The remaining areas such as Pattani also faced the threat of force from the British colonialists.
The Wu regime was small in area, and the reason why it was later divided up by the United Kingdom and Thailand was not only because Britain and Thailand reached an agreement on the division of power between the two countries in the Malay Peninsula, but also because the Wu regime itself was weak.
Like other Chinese regimes in Nanyang, the Wu regime did not receive support and protection from the mother country of the mainland. Its nominal suzerain, Thailand, had always wanted to remove the independence and separatism of the Wu regime. However, there was a lack of support within the Wu regime.
The talented and ambitious successors could only survive in the cracks of the big powers, and were eventually divided and annexed by other countries.
The Nanyang Chinese regimes such as Ha Tien, Dai Yen, Sun Tha and other Nanyang Chinese regimes perished one after another. The only two remaining Chinese regimes, the Wu regime, were in danger. The Lan Fong Company, which had taken refuge in the Dutch, had lost its independence. Without the intervention of external forces, it would be easy for the Dutch to intervene.
People are destroyed.
The contemporary lord of the Wu regime, Wu Jin, is considered a relatively capable one among the previous lords of Songkhla. Therefore, after seeing the dangerous situation faced by the Wu regime, Wu Jin has been looking for support from external forces. Initially, Wu Jin passed
He bribed several Qing officials and sought protection from the Manchu Qing court through them but never received a reply, and his attempts to improve relations with the Thai government also failed.
After Wu Jin went around seeking protection from other forces but to no avail, Sun Bin sent people to get in touch with him. After a few years, the South American Han Kingdom behind Sun Bin gradually developed, and the National Defense Forces' military, intelligence, etc.
The power of Sun Bin increased steadily. This change gave Wu Jin hope to maintain the survival of the regime. Therefore, based on the initial commercial cooperation between the two parties, Wu Jin continued to increase cooperation with Sun Bin, not only allowing the South American Han Kingdom to invade Songkhla and other places
To expand the scale of the business warehouse, in 2016, the two parties also signed a military agreement, whereby the National Defense Forces dispatched 1,500 soldiers to be stationed in Kelantan state under the jurisdiction of the Wu regime. On the one hand, they were prepared to guard against the expansion of British colonial forces;
Responsible for maintaining the safety of the Han Dynasty's ocean-going fleet, and providing another supply point and transit base for the immigrant fleet in the Nanyang region.
It took about two days for the messengers to sail from Jinpu, the headquarters of the Nanyang Governor-General of the National Defense Force, to deliver the card by ship. After dispatching the messenger, Mei Dongxing quickly received news that Li Wencai, the former Taiping Army general, had arrived at Jinpu.
