Unlike the Defence Force, which paid a great price to acquire the newly occupied land, Lopez Jr. was ready to work. When the Defence Force dragged the Brazilian army, it occupied the state of Mato Grosso do Sul and the province of Misiones in Argentina. The area has almost doubled.

Although Lopez's behavior was based on national interest considerations, many of the IDF generals seemed to betray the IDF. Paraguay not only stood idly by when the IDF was most critical, but took the opportunity to occupy the Argentine meters after the IDF achieved a decisive victory. Province of Siones.

As the principal of the Four Nations Alliance, Lopez Jr. did not fulfill his or her responsibilities after Brazil declared war on Rio Grande do Sul.

Lopez Jr.'s performance in the war caused a crack in the two relations. Therefore, the National Defense Forces did not participate in the battle between the Brazilian army and the Paraguayan army in the state of South Magrosso.

South America gradually calmed down after the melee. The British side was busy helping France out of the crisis after King of Prussia became king. In order to avoid German **** of Europe and doing various tasks, the British government rejected the chaos in South America. The resolution of direct troop intervention increased the support for Brazil and Chile to balance the strength of Paraguay and Rio Grande do Sul.

Once again achieved a huge victory in the external war. The influence of the National Defense Forces among Chinese overseas has become more and more important. Overseas Chinese, such as Chen Jinzhong, Hu Yaji, and Zhang Fanglin, joined the National Defense Force branches such as the Taiping Society one after another.

Talents from the mainland of China, such as Huang Naishang, Xi Zhengpu, and Wu Tiaoqing, also agreed to join South Rio Grande under various persuasion and arrangements of the leaders of the National Defense Forces in the mainland, and served as national defense forces in the southern concession of the mainland as foreign compradors.

The gold that Li Mingyuan originally obtained was consumed in the war, and the vigorously developed rubber industry and new industries and new products such as bicycles, pressurized wells, rubber soles and shoes quickly became the main source of revenue for the Rio Grande do Sul, and the end of the large-scale war from the end of 1870 By 1875, Li Mingyuan called Hanwang that the domestic rubber industry and related products had been showing a monopoly posture, providing major economic support for large-scale immigration operations.

Since 1875, European merchants have been secretly smuggling rubber seeds from Han and Brazil and transplanted to Nanyang and other places, and some imitation Han bicycles have also appeared on the market.

Li Mingyuan understands that the country alone cannot prevent the development of the rubber industry and the proliferation of bicycle technology. Therefore, Li Mingyuan used the rubber source and bicycle patent technology he controlled in exchange for the recognition of the country by various countries, and agreed to cooperate with the country for economic and diplomatic cooperation. .

After allowing Britain, France, Germany and other countries to obtain rubber seeds from the Han country and transplant them to the colonies, the advantage of the Han country in the rubber industry has not disappeared in a short time. Instead, the development of the third industrial revolution has expanded the rubber industry. Uses, Han's income in the rubber industry has also shown a rapid rise.

In 1875, Li Mingyuan announced the establishment of the Han country independent of Brazil. The South American Chinese officially had an independent national identity. In the mainland, starting from the beginning of the year, rare large-scale droughts have occurred in Shanxi, Shandong, Hebei, Shaanxi, and Henan. Drought continued to spread throughout North China. From four years from 1875 to 1878, more than 10 million people starved to death due to lack of food, and more than 20 million people fled to the field. Manchu officials who were responsible for relief were in the disaster. Making a fortune, plundering the relief food and silver, occupying the affected people's land, selling the affected people to work overseas, all these things, Manchu officials made use of the disaster to make a lot of wealth, and some usury merchants colluding with officials also made money. The pots are full and one crop is worth three crops. Although the grain crops have brought disaster to ordinary people, it has brought officials and businessmen a better chance of getting rich than in the harvest years.

Natural disasters and man-made disasters caused a catastrophe that swept half of China, and as soon as Li Mingyuan in South America got the news, he immediately ordered merchant ships belonging to the Han shipping company and Shikoku shipping company to go to the Far East to receive refugees.

After the expansion of the original South Rio Grande shipping company in five or six years, the scale has reached 300, of which more than half of the ships with a displacement of 1,000 tons can transport 100,000 immigrants in one round trip. In a cooperative relationship, Han can hire more ships to transport refugees.

Vast fleets, either from South America or hired by local Chinese merchants in Nanyang, transported refugees from the mainland to northern Annan or the Natuna Islands, and then transported by another fleet To South America.

In the past four years, the cost-free Chinese refugee movement has ended, and the number of Chinese people in Han has surged to 5.2 million. In addition to about 100,000 Argentine whites who are willing to be naturalized, the total population of Han has exceeded 5.3 million and the population exceeds Argentina, which lost the northern provinces, has the second largest population in South America after Brazil and Peru, making it a truly South American population.

Because of the large number of people affected in the mainland, in addition to the Han refugees who directly emigrated to South America, a large number of refugees were also stranded in the two northern provinces of Annan and the Natuna Islands controlled by the National Defense Forces.

The populations of Quang Ninh and Langshan provinces in the north of Annan are only over 500,000. After receiving mainland refugees, the population reached a maximum of 2 million. Even if they continued to send refugees to South America, they stayed by early 1878. There are also more than 700,000 refugees. The population of the small provinces of Guangning and Langshan exceeds 1.3 million.

Guangning and Langshan are bridgeheads and Nanyang immigration bases for immigration from the mainland. A large number of refugees gathered there have attracted the attention of the Qing government, and the news of a new Chinese country in South America has also been spread to Manqing through various channels. In the ears of high-level officials, the Han Dynasty has been obstructed by the Manchurian government during the process of receiving refugees. If the Qing government officials were not corrupted, they would accept bribes from Han officials in the mainland and worry about the high-level government officials. Tens of thousands of refugees gathered in the country, which once again triggered the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom uprising, and the Han country could not obtain such a large number of immigrants in four years.

Five million people is currently the largest population that can be afforded by the South American Han country. In order to transport refugees from the Far East to South America, Li Mingyuan not only consumed all the wealth accumulated in the ten years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, but also issued a national debt to domestic and overseas Chinese businessmen Transportation and resettlement of refugees.

In order to develop and grow in South America, the Han country needs to obtain a continuous population from the Far East. Therefore, although South Korea cannot absorb the extra population at this stage, Li Mingyuan does not intend to give up the plan to recruit Chinese. According to careful consideration, Li Mingyuan ordered Mei Dongxing, who succeeded Sun Bin in charge of the affairs of the two provinces in the north and south of Annan, transferred the surplus population in the area under control to Songkhla, Yala, Pattani, Kelantan and other places in the Central Malay Peninsula, increasing the proportion of Chinese there.

Mei Dongxing and Long Hongbang are both Chinese industrial gang leaders from Australia. After choosing to join Li Mingyuan, Mei Dongxing and his other friend Huang Wenzhu did not choose to join the army. Instead, they started with low-level civil servants to assist Long Hongbang in handling Chinese workers. Immigration affairs were later transferred to Annan area under the jurisdiction of Sun Bin. Due to Mei Dongxing's outstanding performance in Annan area, he was gradually promoted to Sun Bin's deputy. After Sun Bin left Annan in 1877, he recommended Mei Dongxing as Governor of Nanyang and obtained Li Mingyuan's approval, and Mei Dongxing also became the fastest promoted among Han non-following Li Mingyuan uprising factions.

At the beginning of his reign, Mei Dongxing did not dare to slack off after accepting Li Mingyuan's order. While sending people to communicate with Songkhla Lord Wu Jin, he carefully studied the situation in the Chinese-Malay Peninsula.

Although the Central Malay Peninsula is nominally under Thai jurisdiction, it is actually ruled by the Wu family.

The Wu family began to rule Songka from their ancestor Wu Rang in 1775. The scope of their rule continued to expand. At the height of their rule,

Wu ruled not only Songkhla, but also the three prefectures of Thailand: Pattani, Tao Gong, and Yala, as well as the four states of Kelantan, Terengganu, Kedah, Perlis, Malaysia, etc ..

As British forces invaded the Malay Peninsula, the Wu ruled area was continuously invaded by British colonists. By 1878, Wu had lost control of Kedah, Perlis, and Terengganu. Kelantan, The remaining areas such as Pattani are also facing the threat of force from British colonists.

The Wu regime was small in area and was later divided up by Britain and Thailand. Apart from the fact that Britain and Thailand reached an agreement on the division of power between the two countries on the Malay Peninsula, it was also related to the weak strength of the Wu regime.

Like other Chinese regimes that founded the South China Sea, the Wu regime did not receive the support and protection of the mainland mother country, and its nominal sovereign Thailand has always wanted to lift the independence and separatist nature of the Wu regime. Talents and ambition heirs, so they can only survive in the cracks of the great powers, and finally be divided up and annexed by other countries.

Hexian, Dai Yan, Shunta and other Nanyang Chinese regimes have died one after another. The remaining two Chinese regimes, the Wu regime, are not guaranteed, and the Lanfang company that has turned to the Dutch has lost its independence and there is no outside force to intervene. com ~ is easily destroyed by the Dutch.

Wu Jin, the current city lord of the Wu regime, is considered to be one of the more powerful lords in Songka's history. Therefore, after seeing the dangerous situation facing the Wu regime, Wu Jin has been looking for support from outside forces. Bribery of several Qing officials, through whom they sought protection from the Manchu court, remained unanswered, and attempts to improve relations with the Thai government were unsuccessful.

After Wu Jin sought protection and protection from other forces without success, the people sent by Sun Bin got in touch with him, and then a few years later, the South American Han country behind Sun Bin gradually developed, and the military and intelligence of the National Defense Forces in the South Ocean. The strength has steadily improved. This change has allowed Wu Jin to see the hope of maintaining the regime. Therefore, based on the initial commercial cooperation between the two parties, Wu Jin continued to increase cooperation with Sun Bin, not only allowing South American Han countries in Songka and other places. Expanding the scale of the inn. In 1876, the two sides also signed a military agreement to send 1,500 soldiers to the Garuda in the state of Kelantan under the jurisdiction of the Wu family. On the one hand, to prevent the expansion of British colonial forces, Responsible for maintaining the navigational safety of the Han Guo Ocean Fleet and providing another supply point and transit base for the immigrant fleet in the Nanyang area.

It took about two days for the messenger to take the ship from the National Defense Forces Nanyang Governor ’s Camp Jinpu to the delivery card. After sending the messenger, Mei Dongxing soon received a message that the former Taiping Army general Li Wencai arrived at Jinpu. Find this site Please search for "" or enter the URL:
