Wild North America 1846

Chapter 619 The Territory of the Empire in 1874

The terms of the Tang Empire peace talks were extremely harsh. At the Panama City site of the post-war negotiations, the post-war contract with 21 clauses was drawn up, and it was arrogantly stated that a single word was not allowed to be changed.

This allowed Britain, France, Spain and other countries to witness the domineering attitude of the Tang Empire, and then take a closer look at the 21 peace treaties, and couldn't help but take a breath.

At this time... the defeated countries Peru and Bolivia must be dealt with to death!

Moreover, there is no place for Ecuador in the peace treaty, and the envoys of the Tang Empire clearly told all parties involved in the peace talks;
This is a trophy of the empire. From now on, there will be no Ecuador, only a new province called "Zhongzhou", and the empire wants this territory.

In the post-war peace treaties;

大唐帝国要求秘鲁从128.5万平方公里的领土中，其共有 24个大区和195个省份，割让西北方沿海的4个大区，涉及31个省共计26.6万平方公里领土。

This part of the territory will become a new imperial province, namely "Fuyuan Province", directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial government.

In addition, in the name of the Northern Alliance, the treaty ordered Bolivia, another defeated country, to cede 109.8 square kilometers of southern land from the original 42 million square kilometers of territory to the Andean Governor's Palace and Paraguay.

The former got 29.8 square kilometers, while Paraguay got 12.2 square kilometers of territory, which greatly dismembered Bolivia. The conditions can be said to be extremely harsh.

The tough attitude of the Tang Empire caused mixed feelings in the hearts of the diplomatic envoys from the United States of America, Brazil, Argentina and other countries present. Such a scene seemed familiar.

back in the day
The envoys of the Tang Empire also left the negotiation conditions on the table in the same way. They were tough and did not allow bargaining. They could only accept or refuse. There was no third way feasible.

The British representative who presided over this international mediation had an ambiguous attitude. He must have been warned in advance, and he did not jump up to speak nonsense, fan the wind, light will-o'-the-wisps, and create conflicts and troubles.

On the contrary, the Spanish diplomatic representatives were very emotional. At the peace talks, they loudly accused the Tang Empire of invading South America, greatly changing the pattern of countries in the region, and bringing devastating disasters to the region...

As a result, the Spanish diplomatic representatives were kicked out of the peace talks, declared persona non grata, and ordered to leave the country within a time limit.

This made the Spaniards make a big fool of themselves on international occasions and suffered great humiliation, but they did not dare to attack, which became a laughing stock in the international diplomatic circles.

If the Spaniards dared to turn the table, the Tang Empire would take advantage of the situation and send troops to take off the well-known Cuba and Puerto Rico, and justifiably expand again.

The southern invasion army that was planning to expand the war barely moved, and it just came in handy.

It is precisely after thinking through the stakes that the newly restored Spanish Bourbon government wisely kept silent despite the ridicule from the outside world.

The Peruvian and Bolivian government delegations participating in the peace talks hesitated and delayed for more than a month, and finally had to bow their heads and sign the humiliating "Panama Treaty", and handed over Juan Varela, a hardliner who conspired to plan the Tumaco incident. General and General Daniel Morat of Ecuador.

It was these hot-headed idiots who pushed their country to the brink of extinction.

The Tang Empire did not disappoint the other party's good intentions, which was originally a requirement in Article 21 gallows were erected directly on the outskirts of Panama City, and a total of 137 people involved in the conspiracy headed by General Juan Varela and General Daniel Morat were hanged.

This time, the public execution was spread all over the world through newspapers in Europe, the Tang Empire, and South American countries. The endless gallows is amazing.

The famous Brazilian journalist Toledo Martinez wrote sadly in the report; "The 137 gallows outside Panama City are full of people who offended the Tang Empire. As the last one was torn off by the executioner The neck, the spirit of daring to fight in South American countries was also torn off..."

He has a reason for saying that...

The visit of the powerful Royal Fleet of the British Empire to the Americas has been widely publicized for a long time, but now it has encountered a problem, that is, the ports of the American countries visited by the fleet have not been settled for a long time.

Awed by the majesty of the owner of the Daming Palace, no American country dared to ignore the warning of "Devil King Richard" and set himself on fire.

The United States of America, which was originally interested, flinched, and the Confederate States of America yelled fiercely, but their actions were very honest.

They dare not use this matter to test whether the alliance with the Great Tang Empire is strong?

This is especially true of Brazil and Argentina, which have been severely beaten. Venezuela, which was lucky not to be listed as a target of conquest, dare not gamble, or is not qualified to gamble at all.

so far

The powerful fleet of the Royal Navy has only three ports in Canada, Havana in Cuba and Suriname in South America, and the others have not been finalized.

Canada is a British colony with autonomy, while Cuba belongs to the Spaniards. The Spaniards also have confidence. After all, their ancestors are rich and they will not be intimidated by a word.

Suriland in South America is another situation. It is almost a European enclave. Britain, France, Holland, Belgium, and Spain all occupy a piece of territory here, just like holding a conference.

French Guiana is also in this area, next to Suriname, where European forces gather.

In addition to the above three places, the Royal Fleet of the British Empire, which is omnipotent all over the world, can't find a place to stay. This is really embarrassing.

The muscles displayed by the Tang Empire made the British deeply feel the sting, but there was nothing to do, so they could only grit their teeth and endure it.

The British made a secret note of this account, and prepared to pay it back if they had the chance.

By launching the Second South American War, the Tang Empire first annexed 2 million square kilometers of Colombia’s territory, then cut off 114 square kilometers from the defeated country Peru, and 26.6 square kilometers from Bolivia, and completely Occupies 29.8 square kilometers of territory in Ecuador.

A total of 196 million square kilometers of South American land was collected in this way, which made the envious eyes of the European powers turn red.

The 196 million square kilometers of South American land, plus the 21 square kilometers of Yunzhong Province, means that in just a few years, the territory of the Datang Empire has increased by 217 million square kilometers again.

The territory of the empire has grown from 1869 million square kilometers in 1674.28 to 1892 million square kilometers, surpassing France and the Qing Empire, and ranking third in the world after Britain and the Russian Empire.

Only a small part of the 2 million Tang Yuan war bonds originally issued was used, and the remaining funds were redistributed and invested in the infrastructure construction of the new colony.

This includes railways, roads, bridges, dams and urban construction, and part of the profit is distributed to the Royal Navy, so that the construction of its "Duke" class ironclad ship has sufficient funds, the construction speed has increased sharply, and the construction plan has been expanded from 6 to 8 ships. ship.

After the completion of three "Zhenyang" class ironclad ships, the new 9000-ton improved "Zhenhe" class will also build four ships, further expanding the scale of the main ironclad fleet.

In the "Panama Treaty", it is stipulated that Peru and Bolivia will bear 9000 million Tang Yuan in war compensation, of which Peru occupies 76% of the share and Bolivia occupies 24% of the share.

The war compensation will be divided into 20 years, with an annual interest rate of 5.5%. The rights and interests of the guano mines in the above two countries and the customs will be used as collateral, and a special committee will be sent by the Datang Empire.

Besides
The Tang Empire will also station troops in the above two countries and set up as many as 10 military bases in order to maintain a strong influence on the political circles of the two countries, which is also stipulated in relevant treaties.

1874. 6, 28

The long-prepared Sao Paulo summit was officially opened, and heads of government from South American countries were present one after another. The Tang Empire was headed by Crown Prince Tang Li Gan, Prime Minister Earl Dong Jie and other heavyweights also came to the Sao Paulo summit. This is the highest summit in South America. level of diplomatic summit.

Among the leaders of the countries participating in the summit, only Venezuela and Chile have not been beaten, and they are also the only two South American countries that do not have troops from the Tang Empire.

Crown Prince Tang-Li Gan's visit to São Paulo caused a huge commotion. Almost all the crowd headed by the local Chinese took to the streets. Dragon and lion dances followed traditional Chinese customs to greet His Highness. Both sides of the road were crowded with welcoming crowds.

After the first South American War that ended in 1869, the Brazilian Empire introduced more than 1 Chinese laborers within 5 years, forming a huge Chinese social group.

More than 10 imperial immigrants entered Brazil to run commercial factories, operate various businesses from banks to plantations, and have a high social status.

Coupled with the approximately 3.5 troops of the Tang Empire stationed in Brazil, the Chinese and their wives and children formed a huge group of over 200 million. The moment His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrived, enthusiasm exploded.

It was really a huge crowd of people.

Wherever the convoy of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince passed, there were Tang people waving imperial flags everywhere along the street, with expressions of excitement that could not be concealed on their faces, and cheers resounded from heaven to earth.

Backed by a strong motherland, how proud are the expatriates living overseas?

Only overseas expatriates who have personally experienced it know that no matter what kind of trouble they encounter at any time, as long as they show their imperial passports that show their identity, everything will be solved.

It’s not just that Brazilian officials dare not make things difficult for Chinese immigrants, the entire Americas come from East Asia, South Asia and the Western Pacific region, and almost no country deliberately makes things difficult for Chinese immigrants.

It's not that I don't want to, but I dare not do it.

On the other hand, the identity of the Qing Empire is not very easy to use. Although it is also a huge and daunting empire, it is like a gentle and slow giant, and basically does not respond to the appeals and difficulties of overseas Chinese. ?
However, the subjects of the Tang Empire are different. They can seek help from the embassy or consulate in the country overseas, negotiate directly with the government of the other party, and often get a quick response.

Over time

Overseas Chinese know that having the identity of the Tang Empire can effectively guarantee their own interests, and they must apply for one, especially for businessmen.

Most Australian gold diggers have the status of imperial subjects, just to not be bullied on the wild road, to be able to buy land and properties confidently, marry wives and have children, and enjoy the same treatment as white people.

People in the Qing Dynasty were not allowed to marry wives and have children in Australia, nor did they have the right to buy land or property. The gold sand they bought was often snatched by white people, and resistance was a dead end.

As long as the braids are cut off, foreigners will not be able to tell who is from the Qing Empire and which is from the Tang Empire.
