Wild North America 1846

Chapter 440
(Chapter 427 has been released. Friends who are concerned can go and have a look. During the Spring Festival, due to many personal affairs, the update is not normal. I apologize again. From tomorrow, I will resume two updates a day. I will choose an opportunity to break out, thank you!)

"The second hotspot in Central America is Cuba and Puerto Rico under the rule of the Spanish colonists. Due to the tyranny of the colonists and the excessive taxation, the people of Cuba are living in dire straits.

Since last year, more than a dozen large and small riots broke out in various places, and they were brutally suppressed by the Spanish governor in Cuba, which led to more intense resistance among the people..."

All the ministers in the court knew more or less about the situation introduced by Count Juan Carlos, and most of them were not surprised.

Most of the empire's territory originated from the former Spanish colonies. Although it was not directly captured from the Spanish colonists, it has a deep understanding of the Spanish colonists' style and tough rule.

Compared with the old colonial countries such as Britain and France, Spain’s rule of the colonies is particularly brutal and cruel. It just blindly asks and squeezes and does not build. When it resists, it brutally suppresses and massacres. And never relent.

The Spanish whites never regarded the local native whites as their compatriots, but regarded them as an inferior race. During the suppression, they massacred villages and towns and did many evil deeds, which aroused the resistance of the local people.

Both Cuba and Puerto Rico are rich in sucrose. The local sucrose plantations are everywhere, with a long history of planting, high yield and good quality. Together with Hawaii, they are world-renowned sucrose producing areas. Together, the three places account for the world’s sucrose production. nearly half of the share.

Originating from the European and American love of sweets, sugar export is the pillar industry of the region's economy, which can bring a lot of profits to the Spanish colonists every year.

after rise of empire in north america
Chinese businessmen have achieved high status in America and Europe. Many Chinese businessmen who had worked in Cuba returned to Cuba again to open sugar plantations, operate shipping companies and wharves, and take part in the sugar trade by virtue of their convenient relationship in the Tang Empire. With a cup of soup, the business is booming.

At the end of March, the cold had already subsided, and the temperature rose to seventeen or eight degrees at noon. Li Cha was wearing a loose robe, his hair was simply tied up in a bun, fixed with a hosta, and he was sitting on the large imperial couch reading a book refreshed. .

The natural population growth rate has reached 6.7%, which is quite a high figure, mainly due to the large number of retired soldiers returning to their hometowns, coupled with the fact that social stability is in a golden period of development, and people generally have a strong desire to have children. Reached 211.05 million people.

Those with average looks can be sold for three to five hundred Tang yuan.

This is a brilliant achievement in governing the country without the blessing of the system, which makes Li Cha feel a special sense of accomplishment, and is often very proud of it.

Coupled with the annual average of more than 110 million Chinese immigrants and 10,000+ white immigrants, the annual population growth once again exceeded the 300 million mark.

In the thriving population market in Panama Province, young female populations from Cuba, Colombia and war-torn Central America are the main sources of goods on the market.

As a result, Cuba has become one of the key areas of concern for the Imperial Foreign Office and the Colonial Department. During the North American War, the ironclad cruiser "Gust" and "Evil Wind" once led the fleet to Havana, the capital of Cuba, to show off their muscles naked. This made Cuba The governor's mansion stopped a little.

Everything in the Tang Empire is now on the right track, and it is in a period of peaceful golden development. The population growth of the empire has been dominated by immigrants, and has quietly changed to newborn children in society, realizing the change of endogenous growth.

In just a few decades, Chinese businessmen accounted for one-third of the Cuban sugar trade. They operated plantations, opened sugar factories, set up trading companies and shipping companies, and basically formed a closed-loop industry from production to sales. chain.

Not far from the Jiuzhuan Pudu Pagoda, it is an exquisite palace hidden among strange rocks and green trees. It is built near the water. Under the winding corridors is the deep water surface. From time to time, you can see big fish swimming leisurely in it, which is very interesting.

Of course

Generally speaking

The price of dark-skinned girls is much worse. Since the Tang Empire strictly prohibited the importation of blacks, once they are found, they will be fined tens of thousands of yuan, and they may even be sentenced to prison and hard labor. The local Chinese also generally discriminate against black girls. Think it is unclean, too dirty.

Due to the relatively light age structure of the social population, with an average age of 31.2 years and a social mortality rate of 0.93%, the natural social growth rate is 5.77%, and the annual net population increase reaches about 175 million people.

In order to make extra money, many Spanish colonial troops even used crimes to suppress the local people, in order to rob and traffic people in order to obtain huge profits.

Due to the tyrannical rule of the Spanish colonists and the resumption of the ancient business of human trafficking, the population of Cuba has been reduced from the original 150 million to about 137 million today.

above the hall
Regarding the two hot issues in Central America reported by the Minister of the Colonial Department, Juan Carlos, after some discussion, the ministers formed a unified opinion of "maintaining continuous attention and not easily intervening", which was approved by His Majesty the Emperor.

These hotspots in Central America will naturally come to fruition in a few years or 10 years, and they are within reach!
After the court meeting in the morning was over, Emperor Li Cha drove back to the palace, and the ministers of various ministries also dispersed, and they returned to their headquarters without mentioning it.

have to say
Whether it is Cuban native whites or Spaniards, they are no match for Chinese businessmen in terms of business intelligence.

Compared with the urbanization level in 6 six years ago, it has retreated from 1858% in 1858 to 67%. However, the expansion of the territory of the Datang Empire included Mexico, the Aztec Republic, and the vast land of the seven provinces of the Great Plains in central North America. Leap to a new level out of thin air.

The urban industrialization index of the Tang Empire fluctuated with the previous large-scale territorial expansion. The highest time exceeded 70%, and the lowest time dropped to 58.5% (after the North American War), and then showed a slow upward trend again.

Many of the big fish in the lake are more than one meter long, and the big and fat ones obviously have enough bait. Dozens of hundreds of them gather together to fight for food and stir up water splashes, which looks really spectacular.

The faint laughter of the girls came from my ears, accompanied by a melodious aftertaste of Guqin, it was really pleasant.

The other is to deepen the process of industrialization, popularize the mechanized operation of agriculture and animal husbandry, greatly improve the production efficiency of farms and pastures, and benefit all people.

Innocent people are left, young men sold into sugar plantations of Chinese businessmen.Young women are sold further afield, and are shipped to Panama province, where they can fetch a good price.

Naturally, there will be some side effects, that is, some fanatical "China supremacy" nationalists discriminate against all other races, including whites, Mexicans, Spanish and Central American countries, not to mention the black people at the bottom.

This is based on his experience in high positions for a long time, he has formulated a series of cultural propaganda achievements that promote loyalty to the emperor, patriotism, national self-improvement, self-reliance, and self-confidence. Civilized highland, overlooking the surrounding ghosts and barbarians.

These beautiful girls in court dresses are all newcomers to the palace. For the sake of the purity of the palace blood, they are all born in Chinese official families. There are 12 of them in total, as a necessary measure to supplement the harem.

The Spanish colonists did not dare to make irresponsible remarks to the Chinese businessmen, and imposed apportionments. In turn, the persimmons were picked up, and the enslavement and control of the local people in Cuba was strengthened. The local people were burdened with heavy taxes, had no political rights, and resisted in their hearts. The anger is getting higher and higher...

Fortunately, the Caribbean voyage from Cuba to Panama is not long, and it takes only two or three days to arrive. The trafficked white women did not even have food to eat, avoiding unnecessary deaths in harsh environments.

Relying on the high-handed and authoritarian feudal rule and the immigrant society dominated by Chinese, the Tang Empire has always maintained internal unity and stability. While expanding its territory outward, the empire has never held back.

On the one hand, actively develop and colonize the Great Plains of Central America, on the other hand, strengthen infrastructure such as imperial railways, highways, ports, docks, urban construction, etc., and use government investment to effectively stimulate economic development.

Therefore, the price of Indian and Central American girls is generally low, only tens of yuan to more than 100 yuan, and most of them are bought by local people as servants or maids.

In the past few years, it has been mainly to digest the rich results of the North American War.

The largest island in Taiye Pool is called Pudu Island, with a radius of about 1.3 square kilometers and a peak of 177 meters. A nine-story exquisite pagoda with a height of about 49 meters is built among the lush mountains and forests, which is called "Nine Turns of Pudu Island". pagoda".

A group of beautiful girls in palace dresses sprinkled fish food on the Qiqu Bridge, watched the large group of brightly colored koi grabbing food, and shouted excitedly, adding a happy atmosphere to this beautiful scene.

Today's Cuba is like a powder keg that explodes at a touch.

One after another two to three hundred ton sailing cargo ships left from various ports in Cuba, and the ships were often packed with hundreds of native white young women, packed like sardine cans.

Most of His Majesty's early queens, concubines and side concubines were close to 40 years old, and their youth and beauty were not there after giving birth to children, and there was a lot of risk in giving birth at an older age.

In particular, what makes Li Cha feel proud is that

The Spanish army in the Governor's Mansion responded with fierce revenge, directly emptied the population of the entire village indiscriminately, and executed anyone who had doubts directly. The method was extremely bloody.

By the end of 1864, the total population of the Tang Empire had reached 4372 million, and 8 metropolises with a population of more than one million emerged, including Chang'an, Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago, Taoyuan, Mexico City, Salem, and New Xi'an, and steam industrialization was further developed. Electric industrialization has also taken the lead in the world, and the concentration of cities has increased significantly.

Even if there are very few, they are often working illegally in remote plantations in various places. Once they are found out, the Chinese plantation owners may be fined to lose their fortunes and even go to prison.

And this can not help but arouse the jealousy of the local native white plantation owners, and also attracted the suppression of the colonists of the Cuban Governor's Palace, forming a series of sharp contradictions of opposing interests.

Many concubines are keen on eating fast and chanting Buddha, focusing on self-cultivation, and they can't bear His Majesty's tossing.

Among the local people, the social classes dominated by small and medium-sized landowners and sugar plantation owners, as well as the more prestigious native whites in urban and rural areas, secretly connected together to establish various underground organizations against the Spanish, and violent tax resistance and attacks on small groups occurred frequently. The Vicious Incident of the Spanish Army.

The fairer the skin, the higher the price, and the younger and more beautiful the price is, the higher the price. A beautiful Caucasian girl aged 15 to 18 who is healthy and free of disabilities can often sell for 600 or even thousands of Tang yuan.

By the end of 1864, the urbanization index had reached 64.33%, which was basically the same as that of France, but the industrialization scale, depth and breadth were even better.

Today's Datang Empire is not only a powerful industrialized country, but also a powerful agricultural and animal husbandry producer. The advanced sowing methods represented by diesel agricultural machinery, coupled with the blessing of the world's advanced chemical fertilizer industry, have greatly improved It greatly increased the agricultural and animal husbandry output of the Tang Empire and became one of the major exporters of agricultural products.

It is tentatively scheduled to be drafted every 5 years, with 12 show girls each time.

General Capello, the Spanish governor, once said proudly; "Here, we often pack our troubles to our neighbors and get a good reward from them. In exchange for kerosene, cloth and silver coins, I call it the "little triangle trade." ", and it turns out we're doing really well."

Not far away, there are more schools of fish swimming over. The water surface is densely covered with fish heads. If you count them roughly, there are probably no fewer than thousands of them.

Inside the palace

Below the pagoda is the "Pudu Temple", and not far away there is a "Xuantian Taoist Temple", both of which are royal temple Taoist temples.

So in the past few years, His Majesty the Emperor has often summoned the beautiful white concubines from the Baixiang Hall in the West Palace, which also made the Queen feel uneasy. After thinking about it, he proposed the proposal of "regularly accepting beautiful women", and only then did 12 thousand picks Wan Xuan's beautiful Chinese girl enters the palace.

Because there are a steady stream of mainland Chinese immigrants, in Panama, Costa Rica, Zhennan Province and the southern provinces of the Straits Province, the importation of male population is strictly prohibited, so it is basically not seen in the population market.

Because tomorrow is the statutory holiday, Shengjia moved to Pudu Island in Taiye Pool, where the scenery is beautiful and the scenery is too beautiful to behold.

In practice, it has also been implemented, and the effect is very significant.

Spain has a long history of human trafficking. Most of the sources of black slaves in the southern United States and Brazil are the infamous "triangular trade", which is one of the few commercial success stories that the Spaniards talk about.

Statistics for 1864;

Among this group, the ex-soldiers tend to be the most serious. They have formed a serious "heavenly kingdom" complex in their minds, and they regard foreign races as inferior ones, and their contempt cannot be concealed.

In the Imperial Legion, except for a few British and German officers who were treated fairly, even French officers were inevitably squeezed out. General Mike Rabiot, the deputy chief of the army staff, could not change this.

In fairness
Li Cha really didn't expect that national self-confidence could be so high. This kind of discrimination even spread to the political and economic fields, which is undoubtedly very inappropriate for the country's development.

In the next step, the government had to introduce the "Citizens' Affirmative Rights Act" to regulate the status of equal rights of all ethnic groups from a legal perspective. Of course, this does not include blacks.
