Wild North America 1846

Chapter 638 Population Factor
The assassination at Fairmont Park caused huge social repercussions, and many angry people took to the streets to demonstrate and protest against this unscrupulous evil.

Find out afterwards
Among the 27 perpetrators who participated in the assassination and were shot dead on the spot, except for 3 Irishmen, all the others were Italians, and public opinion was in an uproar for a while.

Italians were not well received in the first place, and they were known as hooligans, thieves, and gangsters, and now their reputation has become even more rotten on the street, and they have become rats crossing the street...everyone shouts and beats them.

In today's world, European and American countries have formed a chain of contempt.

The hegemon of the world, the British Empire is at the top of the chain of contempt. It not only looks down on the Tang Dynasty, which is like an upstart, but also ridicules France every day, and sneers at the rudeness of the Germans. Anyway, no one looks down on it.

The old hatred between France and Germany has not disappeared, and new hatred has been added. They are not only sworn enemies but also despise each other.

Of course, the Tang Kingdom regards itself as a kingdom of heaven. It not only hates the British, but also looks down on the narcissistic French and the newly rising Germans. They despise each other.

Tsarist Russia has a morbid obsession with expanding its territory. All the top four in Britain, Tang, France and Germany look down on him, ashamed to be with him, and will step on it decisively when given the opportunity.

Tsarist Russia could not offend the four great powers of Britain, Tang, France and Germany, but it also looked down on the loose and corrupt Austro-Hungarian Empire. The Austro-Hungarian Empire was looked down upon by all the powers in Europe and was at the bottom of the chain of contempt.

But he also has an object of contempt, and that is Italy.

This is the status of the Kingdom of Italy in the 19s. It was at the bottom of the world powers, and its strength could not bring down its reputation. It was almost useless.

The backward southern region of Italy has a completely agricultural economic structure, and there is no industrial component.

In bad times, it is common for people to starve to death, but the upper class and nobles are indifferent to this, and prefer to use the superficial luxury life of the upper class to cover up the phenomenon of social poverty.

This is also the root cause of the large number of Italians immigrating. They couldn't survive in their hometown in Europe, so they had to go to North America to find the palace of their dreams.

Now there is a wave of opposition to Italian immigrants in North America. Celebrities from all walks of life in the north have expressed their opinions, condemning the bad performance of Italian immigrants in unison, and demanding that the government take restrictive measures.

This trend quickly spread to the south. Many southerners publicly expressed their hatred of Italians. The south does not accept garbage, and the Yankees do not want to immigrate to the south.

Many companies expressed that they would not hire Italian workers, and banks, post offices, and trading companies followed suit, forming a high wave of opposition.

1877 year 2 early month
After being sworn in as the first Chinese president, Zhang Zhongliang complied with public opinion and proposed the first bill restricting Italians, which was successfully passed under the current social upsurge.

The new bill strictly prohibits ships from carrying Italians to North America. Violators will be fined heavily, and measures such as detention and repatriation of Italians who enter without authorization will be implemented. The naturalization certificates for relevant Italians will be stopped, and companies will be strictly prohibited from recruiting Italians without the right of abode. Black workers and a series of measures.

After the implementation of the bill, major shipping companies have adjusted their liners operating Atlantic routes, canceling the immigration hotspot of the Kingdom of Italy and switching to other European countries.

After the implementation of the bill, the effect was very significant, and the number of white immigrants from Italy plummeted by more than 9%.

In April 1877, Zuo Zongtang led his army to march into Nanjiang in three routes. Within half a month, he went down to the three cities of Daban, Toksun and Turpan.

In May, Yagubo died suddenly in despair...

European Balkans

The two little Karamis, Serbia and Montenegro, which officially declared war on the Ottoman Empire, were repeatedly trampled on the ground by the Ottoman army. Their homes were bloodbathed and a large number of people were forced to be displaced.

Seeing that these two little followers couldn't bear it anymore, and they would be wiped out by the Ottoman army if they didn't help, Tsarist Russia finally ended in person and officially declared war on the Ottoman Empire on April 1877, 4.

In May, Romania, Serbia and Montenegro all announced to join Russia to fight against the Ottoman Empire, and the powder kegs in the Balkans were completely detonated.

The Crimean War from 1853 to 1856 caused Tsarist Russia to stumble in the Balkans and lost its prestige and influence. It urgently needed an opportunity to return to the Balkans and restore Tsarist Russia’s traditional influence in the region.

the more important thing is
Tsarist Russia wants to control the Balkans and then control the Mediterranean Sea, and seek to enter the Black Sea's throat, the Bosporus Strait, so as to open up the only sea outlet in the southwest that it has long sought.

Therefore, Tsarist Russia gloated over the deterioration of the situation in the Ottoman Empire, and actively intervened when it saw the opportunity.

At this point, the tenth Russo-Turkish war, which was a headache for the British, broke out again, dragging it into the vortex of war again.

The European war created a lot of demand, which revived the world trade. It can be said that it was a blessing in misfortune. The Tang Empire was the first to feel this warm current.

Both the volume of foreign trade and exports rebounded, gradually spreading to more types of commodities, forming an overall recovery in the export market.

Coupled with the strong traction of domestic demand, the Tang Empire came out of the shadow of the economic crisis. In the first quarter of 1877, the economic growth rate reached 6.17%, and the output of steel and pig iron both surpassed that of the United Kingdom, ranking first in the world.

Palace of Qinzheng
Emperor Richard is deliberating the report on the new colonial area of ​​Colombia. This area is under the military control of the Southern Legion. It has maintained a high-intensity military suppression. The continuous security and suppression operations have lasted for nearly three years.

Years of war led to a sharp decline in the population of Colombia's new colonial area. The empire began to rehabilitate the population of southern Colombia, Zhongzhou Province (formerly Ecuador) and Fuyuan Province (Ceded by Peru) through planned immigration.

The construction of large-scale infrastructure such as railways, highways, bridges, and urban construction has continuously improved the overall environment of the new colonial area, attracting some adventurous investors with capital in their hands to enter the new colonial area to build plantations and farms.

The new residential area of ​​Colombia, Zhongzhou Province, and Fuyuan Province all belong to the edge of the Amazon rainforest, where the vegetation grows vigorously, the sun and rain are abundant, and it is very suitable for the growth of coffee, tobacco, sugar, natural rubber trees, various melons and fruits, and suitable for development. Special breeding industry.

Through smooth rail and road transportation, the Tang Empire included the new colonies as a whole into the scope of the empire itself, and continuously exported Chinese immigrants.

In three years, the focus of the entire South American immigration was the new colonial area of ​​Colombia. The Chinese population grew rapidly from less than 3.5 to nearly 50, with an average annual increase of more than 16.

Under the ebb and flow, the total population of the new colonial area of ​​Colombia is barely maintained at about 380 million (note; including 50 Chinese), with more than 7.1 in Zhongzhou Province (note: all Chinese immigrants), and more than 22 in Fuyuan Province people (note, Chinese immigrants account for about half).

The continuous importation of the Chinese population has significantly changed the social demographic structure of the new colonial areas, especially in the south, where the social structure is completely dominated by Chinese.

By the first and second quarters of 1877, the loss of women in the new colonial area continued, with an average of 2 to 1.2 per month, which had caused irreversible damage to the area.

Due to the large loss of young women, the natural growth of the population in the new colonies of Colombia has stagnated. Whether this generation of Indians, native whites, or mixed-race residents, the social inheritance will not be sustainable after natural aging.

This has also caused many serious social problems, such as alcoholism, robbery, rape, violent injuries and frequent fights, murders and robbers.

The imperial army severely suppressed criminal activities. While restricting the movement of the indigenous population, it also attacked the indigenous tribes that condoned and harbored bandits, and continued to sweep and eliminate them.

It is estimated

Such military operations will continue for at least 10 years. More and more petty criminals will be sent to hard labor camps, and serious criminals will be hanged directly. This will be the norm in the new colonial area of ​​Colombia.

In order to promote the governance of the new colonial area, the focus of immigrants in South America has now shifted to Colombia, Zhongzhou Province (formerly Ecuador), and Fuyuan Province (the area ceded by Peru), with an average annual immigration scale of about 20 to 21 people.

Due to the continuous investment in infrastructure construction, continuous investment in military forces to clear and suppress operations, and continuous investment in immigration and colonization, the new colonial areas in South America have been the key financial subsidy areas of the empire for more than three years.

The war reparations squeezed from the defeated countries Peru and Bolivia were also transferred to the new colonial area.

Only with the strong financial resources of the Tang Empire can it afford such consumption. It subsidizes more than 1300 million Tang Yuan in the new colonial area a year, about half of which is used for long-term military operations, and continues to strengthen its control over the area.

According to the careful assessment of the Imperial Colony Department;
Ten years after the implementation of the current policy, that is, around 10, the total population of Colombia will remain at about 1885 million, of which the Chinese population will account for half or slightly more.

Twenty years after the current policy is implemented, that is, by the end of this century, the total population of Colombia will rise slightly to between 20 and 420 million, of which the Chinese population will account for more than 430%, and will eventually fluctuate around 9%.

Twenty years later, the population of Zhongzhou Province (formerly Ecuador) will grow to 20 to 55, and 60% of them will be Chinese.

The population of Fuyuan Province will grow to one million, and more than 9% of them are Chinese communities, reaching a relatively ideal state.

Nowadays, regardless of whether there are large families in Europe and America, the average number of people in a British family is 5.72, that of a German family is 6.85, that of an Italian family is 7.12, and that of a Chinese family is 11.65.

British, German and Italian families are all monogamous, with 3.72 children in the UK and 5.12 children in Italy (note: the average family population, please do not over-interpret).

It can be seen from the statistics that it is normal and common for most European families to have 3 to 5 children.

However, Chinese families are not monogamous. According to the official statistics of the Tang Empire, each Chinese family has 1.72 wives and concubines, and the number of children they have is close to that of German families, higher than that of British families, and lower than that of Italians.

Here are only statistics of established Chinese families, but not single men and new immigrants who have no money to marry a wife. Many old immigrant families are only monogamous, and they belong to the average family.

Because three wives and four concubines are very common among Chinese dignitaries, some wealthy businessmen even have five or six concubines, and a large family of dozens of people.

In some relatively affluent middle-class families, one wife and one concubine are the norm. Which family does not have seventy or eighty children?
