Wild North America 1846

Chapter 521 The South American War Ends

In the New Year 1869
Perhaps it was the dissatisfaction of His Majesty the Emperor that put tremendous pressure on the Andean Governor's Palace. Since April, 4 armed militias have been assembled, and more than 6.86 people from 6 servant divisions stationed in Paraná Province have a total of about 7 troops. Entered Sao Paulo Province in two ways, and fought with the 14 troops of the Brazilian Empire who were waiting for battle.

Experienced several battles
From May to June, the army of the Andean Governor's Palace defeated and defeated the Brazilian army with heavy casualties, and took advantage of the trend to occupy most of the state of Sao Paulo.

The cavalry of the Tang Empire criss-crossed the wealthy state of Sao Paulo, conquered countless local white manors and farms by force, plundered a large number of women and wealth, and returned victoriously, making a wave of fat.

With the flames of war everywhere, the Brazilian Emperor Pedro II and a group of upper-class nobles were forced to flee from Sao Paulo, and fled to Rio de Janeiro in embarrassment to temporarily settle down.

Sao Paulo, a famous city with a long history, fell into the hands of the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms.

The Tang Empire's soldiers were sharp, and once they got serious, the Brazilian army was irresistible.

The governor's mansion in the Andi period mainly recruited armed militias to fight, and of course they had to give the soldiers some sweetness.

The specific policy is to bring back the looted women's wealth, and whoever grabs it will return it. The volunteer militia divisions who have the ability will grab more, and the Governor's Office will not ask them in the occupied areas.

Young and strong Brazilian males captured by the army, regardless of whether they are white, Indian or black, will be handed over to the mission, and anyone who dares to hide them will be punished by military law.

In the first half of this year alone, 23.3 captives were escorted to the Nicaragua canal construction site, which strongly supported the full launch of the canal construction site, and was commended by the empire for this.

The Andean Governor's Office also detained a large number of prisoners of war and black deserters in the occupied area, with a total of about 10,000+ people, waiting to be taken to the Nicaragua Canal construction site one after another.

After the war, the Brazilian government asked for it several times, but the Governor's Office only gave a few thousand people a sense, and all the others were sent to the Nicaragua Canal construction site to supplement the labor force. For this reason, the Brazilian government has been criticized for a long time.

7/13

The Brazilian Empire has formally acknowledged its defeat. Under the mediation of the United Kingdom, it will hold post-war peace talks with representatives of the Tang Empire in Rio de Janeiro to discuss a series of post-war matters...

In fact, the defeated country has nothing to talk about. It can only accept a series of unequal treaties imposed by the victorious country. There is no second possibility.

At present, the armies of the two countries are disengaging. In fact, the South American war has come to an end, and the Brazilian Empire has been unable to continue to support it. Unconditionally accepting the defeat contract arrangement is the only way out.

As compensation for defeat, harsh territorial cession is one of the main conditions.

According to the territorial cession plan
The state of Rio Grande do Sul (an area of ​​28.17 square kilometers) was ceded to Uruguay, which will increase Uruguay's territory by one and a half times, laying a solid foundation for carrying more population in the future.

Mato Grosso do Sul (an area of ​​35.7 square kilometers) was ceded to Paraguay, which will increase Paraguay's territory by another 71.2%. Its territory has surpassed that of Argentina after castration, and it has become one of the largest landlocked countries in South America. .

The states of Santa Catarina (9.52 square kilometers) and Paraná (19.92 square kilometers) were ceded to the Tang Empire. As the territory of the Tang Empire adjacent to the north of Brazil, this is also a reward for the empire's illustrious military achievements. Of course Hold it in your hands.

In this battle, the Brazilian Empire lost the four southern states and 4 square kilometers of territory, which greatly damaged its vitality.

Moreover, most of the territory ceded was due to the relatively mature development of farmland and water conservancy, and the fertile and flat southern area, with a population loss of about 130 million (note; more than 22.7 casualties in the third phase of the war, and about 30 to 35 women were captured , Escorted to various hard labor camps with a population of about 60 to 70).

The territory of the Brazilian Empire was reduced from the original 851.7 million square kilometers to 758.2 million square kilometers, and the loss was very serious.

Both Uruguay and Paraguay, who participated in the coalition army, have gained a lot. They feel more and more that they have meat to follow the Tang Empire, and their confidence has doubled from top to bottom. Taking this opportunity, a new wave of Chinese immigrants has been set off.

two years after the war
With the influx of a large number of Chinese immigrants, the population of Paraguay has grown rapidly from 22.71 after the war to 52.3 today, and Chinese families account for more than 9%, because most Paraguayan women are married to Chinese immigrants Of course, Chinese must be filled in one column.

The population of Uruguay has skyrocketed from less than 15 after the war to more than 38, and the population of Chinese families also accounts for more than 9%. Most Uruguayan women are married to Chinese immigrants, which has contributed to a fundamental change in the population structure.

For these two vassal states that respected the Tang Empire as the celestial state, the empire was particularly generous in rewarding meritorious deeds after the war.

到了1869年7月中旬，帝国版图增加了北海省8.34万平方公里，再加上巴西帝国割让的两州之地共29.44万平方公里，帝国版图从原本的1535.5万平方公里增长到1574.28万平方公里。

The second is war reparations. Considering the huge war loan originally borrowed by the Brazilian Empire, under the mediation of the United Kingdom, the war reparation was finally set at 6500 million Tang Yuan, which was mortgaged by Brazilian customs tax revenue. The repayment period was 20 years and the interest rate was 5.8%.

Article 3 of the post-war "Rio de Janeiro Agreement" stipulated that the Tang Empire had the right to garrison troops in Brazil, and successively opened 17 military bases in several coastal provinces, just like controlling the United States of America, castrating its national sovereignty.

In addition, there are a series of other clauses and contracts involving various fields, such as the Brazilian Peace Constitution, the Memorandum of Understanding on the Unified South American Market, the Agreement on the Unified Agricultural Market in South America, the Agreement on the Customs Union of South America, and the Garrison Act of the Tang Empire "The "South American Industrial Revitalization Act", "The Protocol of the South American Railway Union", "The South American Financial Cooperation Treaty", "Agreement on Supplementing 150 Million Chinese Laborers" and so on, all Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and other countries were brought in to form A prototype of the Union of South American Nations was formed.

All of these treaties only involved South America, not the empire's territorial rights in North and Central America. In terms of political economy, military finance, and transportation, they unilaterally opened the door to the economic invasion of the Datang Empire, which would form a Sustained influence.

Only the provisions of the "Agreement on the Supplement of 150 Million Chinese Laborers" between Tang and Ba will have a profound influence on the Brazilian Empire.

Due to the severe losses in the South American War, coffee, cotton and sugar, the pillar industries of the Brazilian empire, were hit hard, and the labor force was in short supply, which greatly affected the normal functioning of society.

Originally, Brazil was a place short of population. The Portuguese transported 5 or 7 black slaves to Brazil every year. As a result, all previous efforts were wasted by the disaster of the Tang Empire, and as many as 30 to 35 white women were taken away. The state of São Paulo and the four southern states were deserted after the war.

It is based on this situation
Considering that the populations of Paraguay and Uruguay are gradually returning to their previous conditions, even better than before, the demand for Chinese immigrants is no longer urgent. The focus of the South American immigration wave led by the Datang Empire can be shifted to Brazil, and the Chinese population will continue to be imported into Brazil. .

in the original history
Brazil once hoped to reach an agreement with the Qing Empire to import a labor force of one million people to alleviate the shortage of domestic labor, but was flatly rejected by the officials of the Qing Empire.

Brazil had no choice but to find Fuso, and the two hit it off, and this led to the upsurge of millions of Japanese immigrants immigrating to Brazil, and Brazil has become the largest gathering place for Japanese immigrants overseas.

in today's era
Since Brazil urgently needs immigrants, the relevant immigration costs are also borne by Brazil itself. Datang Empire, which has rich experience in the field of transnational immigration, regards this as a profitable business and will lead the continuous upsurge of immigration to Brazil in the next few decades. Cultivated a powerful immigrant fleet, why not do it?

In the "Agreement on the Supplement of 150 Million Chinese Laborers", the two countries agreed to give Chinese immigrants to Brazil the treatment of legal settlement, non-discriminatory salary levels, the legal right to do business and buy real estate, private property is sacred and inviolable, and the legal right to marry a wife and have children. Rights, etc., all enjoy the equal treatment of white free people.

Under the pervasive penetration of the Tang Empire into Brazil, Chinese immigrants can even receive a certain degree of preferential treatment.

For example, in factories, wharves, financial institutions, commercial firms or restaurants run by Chinese businessmen, they are naturally more willing to hire Chinese laborers of the same language and the same species. In this foreign land, they have virtually increased their sense of security.

It took five years from the Paraguay War that broke out in 1864 to the South American War, and finally signed the "Treaty of Rio de Janeiro" on August 5, 1869, which symbolized the end of the South American War.

In this unprecedented and tragic war involving the five South American countries, the Tang Empire, Paraguay and Uruguay had the last laugh.

The Brazilian Empire and Argentina were badly castrated and never recovered for more than 150 years.It can only wave the flag behind the Tang Empire and become the second South American country in the sphere of influence of the Chinese.

The various treaties tied to these defeated countries gave the strong capital of the Tang Empire the ability to infiltrate and control these South American countries, dominate the economy, finance, military and transportation of these countries, and make a large-scale investment in the cultural field. invasion.

The specific manifestation is that Chinese schools blooming everywhere in South American countries have almost monopolized the education field from primary schools to colleges and universities. Without fluent Chinese, they can't even become a police officer.

why?
Not to mention Uruguay and Paraguay, South American countries where almost the whole country is of Chinese descent. In Brazil and Argentina alone, the local Chinese population dominates important aspects of the country's economy and finance, and the proportion of the Chinese population accounts for [-]% or more.

Without understanding Chinese, the police cannot even do ordinary law enforcement.

Most of the colleges and universities in South American countries are run by Chinese-American capital. If you don’t understand Chinese, you are like a dumb and deaf person. How can you talk about learning knowledge?

许多 年 以后

The official languages ​​of South American countries are either Chinese and Portuguese, or Chinese and Spanish, or Chinese and English. Anyway, Chinese is indispensable.

If you can’t speak Chinese, you can’t understand anything when you go to Central America or North America, or to the Chinese-speaking countries in Asia, and you can’t move an inch in the Pacific Rim, let alone doing business, politics, cultural or artistic exchanges, and you can’t even read the road signs. Understand.

From all the above, the importance of the Chinese language can be seen.
