Chapter 2189 Chen Lifu's appointment

The Kingdom of Wales has a small number of people and a small army in its African colonies. After it failed to fight, it called Scotland from the north to help. So now the three countries are fighting in the northern Luanda area.

Of course, they did not dare to fight in the coastal colonies assigned to them by the Tang Dynasty, but in the coastal and inland areas.

Later, England found that it was fighting against two countries at the same time, and Spain in the south was getting stronger and stronger, and the threat was too great, so they took the initiative to ask the Tang Empire to adjust.

But the Tang Empire rejected them!

The Tang Empire once again reiterated its foreign policy: non-interference in indigenous affairs.

As long as they did not fight against the coastal colonies assigned to England by the Tang Dynasty, did not challenge the rules set by the Tang Empire, and only fought in the inland areas, the Tang Dynasty would not care.

When England saw this situation, they also gritted their teeth and became ruthless. Since the Tang Dynasty didn't care, they also started to act ruthlessly.

They can't beat them in the colonies, but they are still strong on the mainland. They can directly catch the Kingdom of Wales and beat them up.

As a result, war broke out again on the British Isles, which had just been peaceful for two years.

However, these three countries are all old enemies, and everyone is accustomed to fighting back and forth. However, the Kingdom of Spain is in a good mood.

The Kingdom of England was at war with the Kingdom of Wales and Scotland, so it had no energy to intervene in the competition for the interior areas north of Luanda.

Therefore, while the Kingdom of Spain was watching the war in the British region, it quietly increased its efforts and began to immigrate to the southern Luanda area. When expanding inland, it gave priority to expanding to the inland areas of Luanda State in the Tang Dynasty.

After seizing this place, we will see if there is any chance to block England in the coastal colonies.

The Spaniards have a beautiful idea, but the Portuguese brothers in the United Kingdom of Spain and Portugal are also restless masters.

The Duke of Braganza, a prominent nobleman in the Kingdom of Portugal, has a high reputation and has the right to inherit the throne of Portugal. He has always wanted to lead Portugal to regain its independence.

But there was no hope at home, so they put their hope in migrating to Africa.

The Duke of Braganza is also a person who can open his eyes to see the world. He knows very well that although Europe is good, it will no longer be the territory of Europeans, whether it is the Portuguese, the Spanish, the United Provinces, or even the Tatars.

People, their future lies in Africa.

After arriving in Africa, it was a new environment and a new beginning. Under such circumstances, it became possible for the Kingdom of Portugal to regain its independence.

To this end, outside the framework of the United Kingdom's immigration plan, the Duke of Braganza himself has carried out a large-scale migration plan.

Not just a pre-colonization plan developed within the United Kingdom, but an overall relocation plan.

He sold off a large amount of the family's wealth, and then exchanged it for funds to organize the serfs in the territory to begin a large-scale migration to the Portuguese colony in the southern Luanda do Sul area.

Not only did he organize large-scale immigration of serfs, he even gradually moved the entire family there in the name of colonizing and opening plantations.

After the forty-ninth year of Xuanping, he personally took two thousand soldiers and a large number of craftsmen from the duchy to colonize Portugal.

At this time, the total number of colonists in the Portuguese colonies even exceeded that of the Spanish colonies.

His independent spirit is already very obvious.

After countries migrated to Africa, many chaos occurred, which affected the hearts of many countries, and their level of concern even exceeded the affairs of their home areas.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye knows that African colonies and expanding inland areas are their future.

Europe, West Asia, the Indian Peninsula and other regions may seem to belong to them now, but they will definitely not in the future.

So it is normal for everyone to worry about their new home. As for the old house that is about to be abandoned, as long as it can barely live in for a few years, then there is not much left to worry about.

But all countries are paying attention to the situation in Africa, and even the Tang Empire itself is more concerned about it.

For the Tang Empire, in the first half of the 49th year of Xuanping, the coastal colonies of various countries were divided, and the next step was to gradually move the countries to Africa.

In order to avoid the empire's own troubles during this migration process, it is necessary to allow them to migrate on their own initiative, so overall the empire needs to maintain the early stability of the situation in Africa.

For example, in the war in the British Isles, although the Tang Empire said it would not interfere in indigenous affairs in the early days, it later became more and more violent as the three countries became more violent, especially England, which had already sent a fleet to blockade the coastline of the Kingdom of Wales's African colonies.

.

Their offshore blockade naturally did not mean intercepting Tang steam ships transporting people and supplies for the Kingdom of Wales. They only attacked the Welsh's own small offshore fishing boats offshore and attacked ships in the port. They did not even go ashore.

It perfectly circumvented the Tang Dynasty's regulations that did not allow other countries to invade other countries' coastal colonies.

They did not enter the land of the African colonies of the Kingdom of Wales, and they did not even fire a cannonball on the shore, they only hit the Welsh ships in the port.

This approach made the Tang Dynasty people a little speechless!

But the people of the Tang Dynasty still didn't care about the behavior of the English people. After all, they followed the rules of the Tang Dynasty perfectly.

But seeing that the situation was not good, the diplomats of the Tang Empire still said hello to the past of the Three Kingdoms.

However, he still did not intervene in the war between them. Instead, he said that if you fight a war, it is a war, but you can't let the war affect the immigrants!

The people of the Tang Dynasty are now only focusing on migrating from Europe and India to Africa. They do not want too large-scale conflicts to break out before completing the migration, especially too large-scale conflicts to break out in Africa, which will affect the immigration movement.

Fifty years after the Xuanping period, as the pace of African migration further increased, the empire also gradually increased its immigration operations in the above-mentioned areas, and also increased its support for the migration of various countries to Africa.

This is especially true after major shipping companies have significantly increased their number of ships targeting indigenous people in the Indian Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, the Atlantic Ocean and other waters.

In the fiftieth year of Xuanping, the major shipping companies in the empire, under the coordination of the empire's senior officials, raised a total of more than one million tons of old second-hand merchant ships, specifically to provide services for the migration of indigenous countries to Africa.

In the 51st year of Xuanping, this number increased to 1.5 million tons, which greatly accelerated the migration actions of various countries.

In the spring of the 53rd year of Xuanping, I saw that various countries in Africa had basically established a firm foothold in their colonies. The six Ottoman countries had basically completed their migration. The Tatars had already relocated millions of people, and other countries had also relocated hundreds of thousands of people.

etc., the empire has also begun formal discussions with various countries on land transfer matters.
