Rebirth of South America as King

The calm water surface was slightly rippled, and the amplitude of the floating float standing in the water gradually increased. For a moment, the float was pulled into the water by the fish. The fishing rod on the river bank quickly pulled up, and a silvery freshwater fish jumped out. The water was pulled to the shore by the fishing line.

Li Mingyuan took off the fish on the fishhook and handed it to Liu Pu, who was sitting next to him: "Is it here for the founding of the country? I told you that soon after the raid was over, the development and construction of Rio Grande do Sul has just started At this time, it was announced that the establishment of the country would expose the strength of the Chinese Independent Army prematurely, attracting the attention of Western powers and even the Qing government, and bringing us unnecessary troubles and difficulties in the subsequent construction and development. "

Seizing the state of Rio Grande do Sul and establishing a Chinese nation is the core strategy set by Li Mingyuan at the beginning of the uprising. He went to Peru, moved to Bolivia, and faced the Brazilian coalition to achieve the goal of establishing the country. He arrived in Rio Grande do Sul for more than a month. The promise of three hundred acres of land per person that was originally promised has been fulfilled, and the goal of marrying a wife for Chinese soldiers has been gradually realized, but there has been little movement in establishing a Chinese nation.

The name is not regular, and the Chinese are well-known for doing things. They occupy 281,000 square kilometers of land in Rio Grande do Sul, and the South American Chinese who act under the name of the Chinese Independent Army appear to be inconsistent with their own strength, 281,000 square kilometers. It is equivalent to the area of ​​the two provinces in the Central Plains. The land divided between the two provinces can be established in the ancient or during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom uprising. Having a formal country name is equivalent to getting rid of the identity of thieves and rebels. , Has a formal official identity.

The establishment of a state system can enhance the cohesion of the Chinese in South America, and it is also in the immediate interests of the Chinese soldiers who worked with Li Mingyuan. At the beginning of the raid operation, most of the Chinese independent military officers sidelined and asked Li Mingyuan about the specific time of the founding of the country. Understand what they mean, and deliberately divert topics to other directions,

The Chinese officers who did not get an answer from Li Mingyuan brought the questions to Liu Pu, which led to a continuous stream of officers who went to Liu Pu's house every day, and they could not bear each other. Liu Pu visited Li Mingyuan yesterday and directly conveyed the Chinese officers. Li Mingyuan was busy working on planning for Rio Grande do Sul yesterday. He did not explain in detail with Liu Pu the reason for the postponement of the founding of the state, but just rejected the suggestion of the Chinese military officer on the early establishment of the state on the ground that the Brazilian army may attack at any time.

Today, Li Mingyuan took a rare break and saw Liu Pu visit again. It is easy to think that he still came for yesterday's problem.

Putting the transferred fish into a bamboo basket, Liu Pu said, "I went back yesterday and thought about it one night. Formal statehood can solve the identity problem of South American Chinese and improve the attributes of soldiers.

However, after the founding of the country, whether the Brazilian emperor Pedro II was to stabilize his throne or suppress domestic public opinion provoked by the failure of the Paraguayan war, he would once again dispatch the main force to fight the Chinese Independent Army. The Chinese Independent Army has experienced several times In World War II, behind the exhaustive victories is the serious shortage of our army's weapons and ammunition reserves and the huge hidden dangers of soldiers' fatigue and lack of repairs.

Moreover, the Chinese Independent Army is isolated from the South American continent, and it is a lone war. The Brazilian army can fail once or twice for various reasons, but our army cannot fail once. If the Chinese Independent Army and the Brazilian army fight again, Argentina, Uruguay, and even Paraguay, which was originally an ally, would not hesitate to rush to tear a **** flesh from the Chinese Independent Army.

The wolves are fed around by the Chinese Independent Army. In order to gain a foothold in the South American continent, every country and power in the surroundings is the enemy of the Chinese Independent Army. "

Liu Pu is less than 20 years old and is about the same age as Li Mingyuan. At the beginning of the uprising, the Chinese Independent Army lacked talents, and many young Pacific Peace Army remnants and laborers were promoted to high positions. The war course of more than half a year inspired many The potential of military officers, but because of their youth and lack of experience, sometimes Liu Pu, like other young officers, would go into a misunderstanding and lose the correct judgment of affairs.

Liu Pu thought for a night that he understood Li Mingyuan's intentions, which made him more gratified, but because the issues highlighted by this incident had to be taken seriously,

There are only one or two hundred literate readers in the Chinese Independent Army. After more than half a year of teaching knowledge to officers in the Chinese Independent Army, only simple literacy problems have been solved by military officers, and the number of qualified civilian military officers has increased only slightly.

During the mobile battle, more than 100,000 Chinese were members of the entire army. The only problems civilian officers need to solve are only military combat performance statistics and logistical support. It is not so troublesome to solve.

After occupying Rio Grande do Sul, more than half of the Chinese soldiers have become settled residents. Except for some of the settled Chinese soldiers who also serve as garrison soldiers, the remaining retired soldiers have become normal residents, and then they have differentiated farmers engaged in agricultural cultivation from them. , Mining workers, technical workers operating textile machinery, cement production, steel smelting, military manufacturing, and so on. Complete and complicated social division of labor management requires a large number of professional administrative officials. According to Li Mingyuan's observation, the Chinese Independent Army is very scarce. There are fewer than twenty civilian officials in this category of personnel who can satisfy this kind of job management.

The number of twenty people is too small. Once the state is formally established and various types of industrial production machinery required for national production are introduced, the current Chinese civilian officials are simply not enough.

The best way to attract talents is to emigrate from the mainland. However, the Manchu government has implemented slavery for more than two hundred years. In addition to the imprisoned writing prisons of the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties, civil officials in the mainland have already recognized the Manqing Domination, trying to dig people out of them is not realistic in the short term.

The method of digging talents from the mainland is hard to work. Li Mingyuan can only look at Western countries.

In 1868, the United States had just ended the Civil War and was busy developing industry at home and expanding overseas.

Prussia just finished the Prussian-Austrian War, the Putin War, and at the same time busy preparing to deal with France and complete the great cause of unifying Germany,

The British suppressed the Indian uprising, reassured the good days of exploitation of the Indian people, and the expansion center was transferred to the area around East Asia.

France is busy invading Vietnam and Cambodia and expanding its sphere of influence in Southeast Asia.

Tsarist Russia rushed all the way in the Middle East and Siberia, seizing territory, and carelessly.

Japan also began the first year of the Meiji Restoration in 1868, and it has only just begun to become the hegemon of East Asia in the future.

The situation changed in 1868, and the major powers of World War I and World War II have shown signs of rise. At this time, the strength of South America, Brazil, Argentina and other countries still existed. The United States, which ended the Civil War, just entered the fast lane of development, and the distance from South America It is too early for the state to be its own back garden, and Brazil and Agen do not need to look at the United States to act.

The established British and French overseas colonies have a large area. The huge overseas interests feed the two countries. The two countries that have supported the food need time to digest the swallowed food. The strength of Prussia, Italy, Austria, and the United States are busy developing and are also unwilling to expand. At this time, it is the most appropriate time to use Huang Chengcheng's real gold and silver to introduce the United States, Prussia, Italy, Austria and other developing countries that are in urgent need of management talents and industrial facilities.

In the European and American countries in 1868, the first industrial revolution was completed, and the second industrial revolution has just entered the germination stage, and excess production facilities need to be digested by buyers.

At this time, the European and American countries have not implemented a technology blockade. Brazil, Argentina, and even Japan, which came later, introduced a large number of new technologies and development talents from the West.

Facing the most suitable development period, Li Mingyuan will not allow opportunities to pass by in his own hands, and it is imperative to introduce talents and industrial technologies from Western countries.

Li Mingyuan told Liu Pu his thoughts and planned to leave the matter to Liu Pu.

"Shizi, it is necessary to introduce Western talent and technology, but before this, the administrative arrangements and institutional planning of Rio Grande do Sul need to be determined."

Liu Pu opened his head and continued, "In addition to the consideration of determining the status of South Americans in South America, the current general arrangement of various resettlement sites is also a major factor, so the formal establishment of a state can be postponed, but the establishment The initial state system and government organization should not be postponed. "

"What specific plans do you have?"

"The humble job intends to adopt the state governance system of the previous dynasty, designing the Sixth Department, the Inspectorate, and Dali Temple as the highest-level management unit, and the cabinet assistants and the college bachelors are responsible for managing the country's specific affairs, and at the same time are responsible to Shizi."

The cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty was close to the constitutional monarchy of the West. It was conducive to the monarchy to manage the country during the feudal period, but it has now reached 1868. Two hundred years have passed since the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the reasonable system was not large now. Appropriately, the system of the Six Departments, One Temple, and One Court has some references to the system, but it is completely copied from the Ming Dynasty system that does not adapt to the current international situation. Li Mingyuan and Liu Pu discussed it for more than an hour. With the reservation of some Ming Dynasty officials, a new increase was added. A number of departments were established, and then the composition of the state administrative agency was also structured:

1- Ministry of Households: manage domestic household registration, resettlement, land allocation, management and protection of forests and rivers

2.- Ministry of Finance: currency issuance, tax collection, tax release by officials,

3-Ministry: officials assessment, promotion, appointment and removal, title and so on

4- Ministry of Rites: Preside over large-scale sacrifice activities, cultural heritage and protection, policy promotion, guide public opinion, and approval and management of cultural related industries.

5- Ministry of Education: School management at all levels in China, responsible for the preparation of higher universities.

6- General Staff: National Armed Forces Command and Management Agency

7- Department of Criminal Affairs: Trial and judgment of criminal cases

8: Ministry of Industry: large-scale engineering planning and management, industrial development, railway construction, traffic management

9- Ministry of Foreign Affairs: management of foreign country liaison and development of foreign relations

10- Ministry of Commerce: Private business management, collection of business taxes,

11-Inspectorate: Inspectors, impeachment of reporting officials, supervisory history of the Inspectorate and Shang Shu are equal.

12-Legislative Yuan: Constitution, law formulation, amendment and publication,

Abolition of 9th and 18th grade officials

Cabinet, ministry, bureau, department, division, section six and other ten levels of officials.

Among them, the cabinet prime minister is the cabinet level, the cabinet bachelor is the vice cabinet level, and the ministers of the various ministries and the chiefs of the two courts are ministerial officials.

Other officials and so on.

After the composition of the administrative agencies was drafted, the setting of administrative levels in Rio Grande do Sul has also begun.

As the headquarters of the Chinese Independent Army, Porto Alegre is named Xinjing, which means the new capital of the Chinese capital of South America.

Santa Maria is a Hexi County named after the west bank of the Guayba River.

Bage changed its name to Yong'an County

Erexin changed its name to Changning County,

One county and three counties constitute the first-level local administrative units of the Chinese Independent Army. New population will be established in the future.

After the administrative hierarchy and local area planning were completed, Li Mingyuan asked about the situation in Brazil.

"After the defeat of the Paraguayan war, Garcia led 10,000 remnants into the mountains, marched in the mountains for seven days, rushed to the city of Guaira along the Parana River, took a local Brazilian boat along the Hebei, and returned to Rio de Janeiro by rail . "

"The lone army walked in the mountains for seven days and lacked food and supplies. I think Garcia's life will be difficult!"

Through thousands of miles of desert and mountain forests, Li Mingyuan experienced the difficulties of long-distance transfers, while Garcia's army camp was not secured, and there was a shortage of supplies when he hurried to escape. Although he only walked in the forest for seven days, mosquitoes and beasts in the forest Illness will also cause great difficulties to the army.

"Garcia is also a stretchable person. It is said that during the seven-day march, 2,000 soldiers were abandoned by the disease in the mountains and forests because of illness. There were 3,000 other soldiers who lacked food and other reasons. Less than 5,000 Brazilian soldiers lost in the mountains and eventually reached Rio de Janeiro safely. "

"Marching in the mountains and forests, infected soldiers easily spread to other soldiers, Garcia's behavior was a rational choice at the time."

The victory of the Chinese Independent Army in the Paraguayan War had many tricky factors. We cannot deny Garcia's commanding ability because of the failure of a war. Li Mingyuan took Garcia as a worthy opponent in his heart.

"Garcia was in a good situation, and the brave man escaped from the encirclement at a critical moment was an excellent general, but the aristocratic bureaucrats in Rio de Janeiro did not think so. They noticed that when Garcia took over Mitchell's command, the Brazilian army had 50,000 people. But now he has brought back only 5,000 people, and ten soldiers have not gone into battle. Garcia cannot escape the main responsibility for the defeat of the Paraguayan war. "

"According to them, if Garcia did not take over Mitchell's command, Garcia would not start detours, and subsequent series of wars would also change. The Chinese Independent Army did not attack the main force of the Brazilian army based on the channels opened by the Brazilian detours. ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ The battle may be another ending. The Chinese Independent Army will pay a greater price if it wants to defeat the main force of the Brazilian army. "

Liu Pu laughed. "The dismissed Brazilian Army Marshal Mitchell said the same thing as Shiko. After hearing that the main force of Brazil was almost overwhelmed, Mitchell, who was being investigated by the Brazilian Army Law Office, jumped out first, accusing Garcia of corruption. Glorious advances led to the annihilation of the main Brazilian army. If he advances step by step according to his previous stable plan, the Brazilian army will never fall into this end.

These words of Mitchell usually said nobody believed, but after Garcia's accident, the original subordinates and relatives in the Brazilian army began to build momentum for Mitchell, preaching that Mitchell was stable and prescient. "

"Everyone else believed Mitchell?"

"How can you not believe that the main force of the Brazilian army has been lost and that other generals in the country have not performed particularly well in the Paraguayan war. Although Mitchell is conservative and slow, the Brazilian army is still intact under his hands. In contrast, the Brazilian government Both sides of the military are inclined to Mitchell, and the Brazilian Military and Legal Division recently announced that Mitchell was due diligence and no misconduct while serving as the commander of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force, and after the investigation results came out, Mitchell returned to the command of the Brazilian Army. Responsible for recruiting soldiers and launching counterattacks against our army. "
