Wild North America 1846

Chapter 508 Total Territory Area of ​​the Empire in 1867

After reading the memorial of the great victory of Ascension, Li Cha took out the ink pen, picked up the pen, and marked a line of words at the end of the memorial;

Submit to the Cabinet for resolution.

In a war dominated by mercenaries, it is relatively simple to cash in rewards. There are no post-war pensions and resettlement matters, and the rewards can be cashed directly to the mercenaries.

If you kill an Indian or black slave soldier, you can get 50 Tang Yuan, if you kill a white soldier, you can get 200 Tang Yuan, and the rewards for officers and cavalry are doubled.

If you don't want a cash reward, you can also exchange it for Cheng Xuntian, but the specific exchange is not much.

According to the approximate exchange rate of 50 yuan for an acre of meritorious land, it cannot be exchanged for a few acres.

In South America, ordinary Chinese pioneers often have hundreds of acres of ranch, and it is useless to ask for such meritorious fields.

Mercenaries generally choose to take cash, which is the most convenient.

The South American War has entered the third stage, as shown in the following:
With no hope of victory in sight, Argentina and Paraguay successively admitted defeat and withdrew from the war, and took the initiative to negotiate an armistice treaty with the victor led by the Tang Empire, and the Triple Alliance collapsed.

He walked confidently to the window, looking at the beautiful night of Taiye Pond shimmering in the moonlight, his deep eyes were frighteningly bright.

Following the example of the Fusang Kingdom, Uruguay sent an official envoy of the Republic to Chang'an, the imperial capital, to present a watch, with the purpose of concluding a long-term military alliance treaty with the Tang Empire.

The world powers in the 19s were setting off a new wave of dividing up colonies, and no one wanted to be left behind.

It is a real benefit to follow the elder brother to have candy!
The Tang Empire spared no effort to help Paraguay because it had its own far-reaching plot...

in specific schemes;

Since then
The Andean Governor's Palace is adjacent to Chile on the west, Bolivia to the northwest, Paraguay to the north, Uruguay to the northeast, and Argentina to the east. There are 5 South American neighbors in total.

Paraguay must be limited to the scope of landlocked countries, and the economic lifeline of Paraguay should be pinched in the hands of the Tang Empire. If it wants to prosper, it will prosper, and if it wants to decline, it will decline, so that it cannot escape the palm of the Tathagata Buddha.

For another defeated country, Uruguay, because of its small size and weak strength, there is no territory to divide, so the territory remains the same.

After the establishment of the master-slave status of the two countries, Chinese capital and immigrants from the Tang Empire will continue to flow into this small South American country, profoundly changing its population structure. In the future, the Chinese population will account for more than 7% of the entire population of Uruguay , Chinese schools are also blooming everywhere.

The next step is to strengthen the golden immigration route in the central Pacific Ocean, and strive to increase the average annual number of immigrants on this route by 60% from the current 80 people to reach the goal of [-] people per year.

Chile's territorial area has shrunk from 75.67 square kilometers in history to 34.5 square kilometers today, a full reduction of 41.1 square kilometers.

This growth rate is astonishing, surpassing the 1289.8 million square kilometers of the Qing Empire and the French Empire, and ranking the third largest empire in the world after Britain and Russia.

Argentina, the defeated country, has no right to bargain on territorial issues and can only be castrated by the strong.

Therefore, Li Cha brought up the Zhubi and wrote a big "Zhun" on the newspaper, and the matter was finally finalized.

The 5-year desert expedition in South America has achieved fruitful results. After signing the post-war treaty with Argentina and Paraguay, the area under the jurisdiction of Andes Governor’s Mansion was officially determined to be 281.5 million square kilometers. The border is with Paraguay.

The expanded Anlis Governor's Mansion has a total area of ​​281.5 million square kilometers. In addition to taking most of it from Argentina, a large piece of meat was also cut off from Chile, covering about 41.1 square kilometers.

Poor Argentina looked forward and backward, and was strongly obstructed by the federal forces in the border negotiations with the Tang Empire. The border demarcation negotiations have been negotiated for five or six years without any results.

Only in this way
With just a wink from the Tang Empire, Uruguay can close the seaport and completely cut off Paraguay's foreign trade lines.

On the basis of the continuous import of Chinese immigrants, it is necessary to open a wide range of Chinese schools, ranging from primary schools to higher education institutions, and implement a comprehensive cultural invasion.

After being defeated in the Indian subcontinent, France is now re-landing on the Indochina Peninsula, and is sending an expeditionary force to conquer the lower reaches of the Mekong River by force and implement its colonial expansion back to Southeast Asia.

This post-war border demarcation plan is mainly to cut off the neighboring land that originally belonged to the Argentine federal forces, and to achieve the strategic purpose of focusing on suppressing and suppressing Argentina.

The Uruguayan government must be a pro-Tang government. Outstanding students will receive higher education in the Tang Empire and return to the government to take up important positions, thus forming a stable and dominant pro-Tang faction.

It is necessary to firmly control this thorn in the hands and serve the empire's South American strategy.

by the way

The ever-expanding Datang Empire was not idle either. After eating the three countries of Central America and the Yukon Territory in the north one after another, the expansion in South America cut off a large piece of meat from Argentina and expanded the northern region. 6 provinces.

Although this is just an idea, is it still far away from real realization?
The war in South America is not over. The army under the Andean Governor's Mansion of the Tang Empire needs to go through several months of rest, and miss the peak of the busy farming season, in order to gather a strong enough army to continue to advance north, strike deep into Brazil and severely injure the enemy until the final victory of the war is won.

think about it
The Chinese world dominates East Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Americas. The Chinese Clan Association represents the big and small countries that protect the Pacific Ocean, and its strength is unprecedentedly strong.

Helping Paraguay also expand 2/5 of its territory, taking the two border provinces of Cosliente and Hansada, making Paraguay border on the border with Uruguay.

It is good to eat something that can be digested, in Richard's plan;

By doing so, the tragic scenario of territorial loss and dismemberment can be avoided.

Empire map ongoing

Fortunately, the main direction of the Tang Empire's expansion is South America, and the strongest fundamental interests of other worlds have not been touched, so everyone can live in peace for the time being.

In the future, Paraguay will become a vanguard army in South America, helping the Tang Empire to control the situation in South America, so as to check and balance South American countries.

After the British colonists ended their second Opium War of invading China, they were planning a new colonial war.

According to the border treaty between the Datang Empire and Chile;

The Trans-Pacific International Organization established on this basis will have the strength to compete with the European Union and become the most powerful alliance of trans-Pacific countries in the world, and the voice of the Chinese will be greatly improved.

As the temporarily leading party, the Datang Empire's participation in the South American War completely reversed the situation of the war, but its ally Paraguay was small and weak. After the tragic death of President Nopes, it was unable to continue to follow in the footsteps of the Datang Empire to continue the war.

However, the Tang Empire's support for Paraguay is limited. First of all, Paraguay must be limited to the status of a landlocked country, and it must not have access to the sea, nor can it encourage its expansion ambitions.

Who is to blame when all the hard work ends in vain?

In addition to expanding northward and annexing the two northern provinces of Colombia del Estero and Santa Fe, which originally belonged to Argentina, it also included the provinces of Jujuy and Salta bordering Bolivia in the northwest. The provinces of Catamarca and Tucumán bordering Chile, a total of 6 vast lands, are all included in the empire.

However, its customs and army are completely controlled by the Andean Governor's Office, and a large number of Chinese population will be relocated in the future, thus completely changing the population structure of this small South American country.

Tsarist Russia took advantage of the opportunity of the second Opium War to loot and cut off 2 million square kilometers of land from the Qing Empire through several unequal treaties. These are relatively warm areas with lower latitudes than Tsarist Russia. The old man has been digesting for decades.

Under his control, the Great Tang Empire cut through the waves and sailed on the correct course.

The title of "Prussia of South America" ​​is not for fun. Paraguay is really a thorn in South America. It has no good relationship with its neighbors. In the past 30 years, all of them have fought wars or had border disputes, which made the neighbors uneasy. .

As for Argentina, the original South American country, it has been weakened to only two provinces, and its total territory has shrunk from 278.6 million square kilometers in history to 38.2 square kilometers today (Buenos Aires 30.4 square kilometers in Sri Lanka, 7.8 square kilometers in Paraná Province), a full reduction of 240.4 million square kilometers.

In history, Chile’s 5600-kilometer-long and slender territory along the Pacific coast is now only 2351 kilometers long, and the 3250-kilometer-long Andes region of the Pacific coast to the south of the Biobio area belongs to the Datang Empire, including the southernmost point. of Fuego.

Putting down the vermilion pen in his hand, Li Cha stood up from behind the case.

Only in this way can we effectively fill the needs of the vast new colonies in South America and Central America. In addition, we must continue to provide blood to Paraguay and Uruguay, two small South American countries, and strengthen economic penetration and influence in Argentina. This requires the expansion of Chinese immigrants. input size.

To expand the security margins on the east and west sides of the Indian colony and consolidate the status of the crown jewel of the British Empire.

As a small country in South America, Uruguay naturally has a way of survival for a weak country.

His attention is on the next memorial.

The Tang Empire's acceptance of Uruguay as the first vassal state in South America was also based on the same considerations, and it was an important part of the South American strategy.

Emperor Richard expressed his satisfaction with the post-war boundary division plan reported by the Colonial Ministry, which was basically carried out according to his intention.

Britain's new goal in South Asia is to consolidate and expand the scope of the Straits Settlements, and it is preparing to instigate the second Anglo-Burmese war and the second Anglo-Arab invasion war.

Judging from the current situation
In the next two years, 35 to 38 Chinese young men will immigrate to Paraguay. In the future, Paraguay will grow into a Chinese-dominated social structure, and more than 9% of the population with Chinese blood will be more than [-]%. Gloves.

Britain continued to expand in Egypt, incorporated it into its own colonial territory, and strengthened its penetration in Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, and Iran in the Near East.

When Emperor Li Cha was reviewing the report, he simply looked at the 1.42 casualties in the entire Battle of Ascension, and didn't pay much attention to it.

Therefore, the third stage of the South American War is specifically manifested as;
The Brazilian Empire singled out the Andean Governor's Palace of the Tang Empire. Whoever wins the final victory will gain the recognized hegemony of the South American continent.

This process will take about 2 to 3 years, and it may be delayed for a year or two, but the final victory will definitely belong to the Tang Empire, there is no doubt about it.

In addition to the above-mentioned border division plan, Argentina still needs to cede two provinces, Cosliente and Hansada, to Paraguay as war compensation. The total area of ​​the two provinces is about 16.6 square kilometers.

at the same time
France is also continuing to expand in Monaco, Libya, and central and southern Africa, trying to conquer the black African region including Ivory Coast, and provide a cheap raw material supply market for the French Empire.

In the next step, the French colonists will eliminate the Kingdom of Cambodia and the Kingdom of Laos, and plan to further expand to the north of the Kingdom of Vietnam, bringing the entire Indochina Peninsula into the scope of French colonies.

After the real implementation
Paraguay's territory will increase by two-fifths. Although the total area of ​​​​the territory is slightly smaller than that of Argentina, it is not less fertile.

The key is;
Paraguay will gain a direct border with Uruguay, and travel to Uruguay will no longer need to pass through the land of Argentina or Brazil, a big step forward in getting rid of the landlocked problem.

Only in this way
After 80 to 100 years of hard work by three or four generations, the entire American region, including North America, Central America and South America, Chinese will become the main common language of all countries, and the Chinese will become an important force that dominates the political, economic and military fields of various countries. , The Chinese community will also become the mainstream group in society, and this will be what Richard is most excited and proud of.

In essence, it is based on the Tang Empire and becomes one of its vassal states.

This is a "Specific Plan for the Northward Expansion of the Territory of the Andes Governor's Palace" reported by the Colonial Ministry, and it is also the main point of the post-war negotiations.

Li Cha tapped the window lattice lightly with his fingers, making a very rhythmic sound, which represented his extremely complacent mood. The expansion of the Tang Empire was smooth sailing, it was wonderful!

Ten provinces were swallowed by the Tang Empire, two provinces were ceded to Paraguay, and only one province, Paraná, was merged with Buenos Aires to form a shrunken version of the Argentine Republic.

In August 1867, it was officially incorporated into the area under the jurisdiction of the Andean Governor's Palace, and the territory of the empire increased by 8 million square kilometers to 281.5 million square kilometers.

At the same time, the two border provinces of Cosliente and Hansada were lost, and they were forced to cede to Paraguay as compensation for the defeat. The thirteen federal provinces were almost wiped out.

从1861年北美战争后的1082万平方公里，增长到1866年的1255万平方公里（含育空地区48.6万平方公里，大不列颠哥伦比亚省94.5万平方公里，中原省约26.38万平方公里）。

In the end, the forces of the Andean Governor's Mansion aggressively invaded the north. Not only did they not want to return an inch of the previous territory, but they recently lost the land of the six provinces headed by Santa Fe Province and were forced to cede it to the Tang Empire.

After the defeat of the Brazilian Empire, the large number of lost population and labor in the country urgently needed to be replenished, and this was a new opportunity for Chinese immigrants.

South America's immigration policy can be adjusted accordingly, from supplementing the lack of young male labor force in Paraguay and Uruguay, strengthening the economic penetration of Argentina to Brazil.

Under the favorable conditions of the post-war treaty, the Datang Empire is confident that it will shift the focus of immigration to the Brazilian Empire, and continue to export Chinese young labor to it, so as to ensure long-term and continuous influence on Brazil and promote the growth of pro-Tang political and economic forces. growing up.

Only at this stage did the Datang Empire's South American strategy enter the deep water area.
