At the end of the induction ceremony for the new officials, more than 300 young officials held the appointment certificates in their hands, sat in the square with a straight posture and dignified appearance, and looked at Li Mingyuan who was standing in the center of the platform.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the country is still a short country, and the infrastructure of higher education is weak, and it is not easy for you to stand out from the hundreds of thousands of young people in the country."

The opening speech affirmed the efforts of the young people below to become government officials, and Li Mingyuan introduced the current world situation to them as usual.

"Since the British fleet landed at the mouth of the Yangtze River and defeated the Manchu court, the dominance of the Far East China region gradually fell into the hands of the Western powers, and the Central Plains' thousand-year-old status as the superior state of the Celestial Empire was also defeated.

Southeast Asia, the Malay Peninsula, and Indonesia were all occupied and infiltrated by England, France, and the Netherlands.

Outside of the continent of Europa, the countries and territories of the rest of the world are almost completely divided.

The remaining areas of it are also being divided, conquered, and expanded, think about the scene of the Han and Tang dynasties coming to the dynasty and the prosperity of the times, and think about the magnificent feelings of the Han soldiers who expanded their territory and blood-stained battlefields, and now, the Western Regions, the Northeast, and the southern Xinjiang have become foreign territories, and the soldiers who buried their bones in the frontier have become lonely ghosts!

What a deal! Due to the depravity of the imperial court's rule, he was confined to a corner of the ancient land of the Far East, closed the country, and took pleasure in exploiting his own people!

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, it has been more than 240 years, coinciding with the invasion of the white-skinned Yangyi and the sinking of the Chinese mainland. ”

Speech and incitement are essential qualities for a national leader, and Li Mingyuan tries to impress the youth below with sincere language.

"The nineteenth century was the era of the alternation of the old and the new, the era of the rise of colonialism, the poor and weak countries were occupied by the powerful countries, the decaying and declining countries were controlled by the powerful countries, in the Far East, Japan's Meiji Restoration was only ten years old, but it was such a small country that had not yet completed industrialization, in April 1879, it officially annexed the Ryukyu Kingdom, changed the Ryukyus to Okinawa Prefecture, appointed Nabeshima Naobin as the first governor of Okinawa Prefecture, and forced the Ryukyu King to move to Japan by force. On the other hand, looking at the Westernization of the Manchu court, the nobles of the Eight Banners and the local governors and ministers demolished each other, and there were countless people who looted the people's interests in the name of Westernization.

It took more than ten years to start the Westernization revolution, and the innovation time was still five years earlier than Japan, but in the face of Japan's provocation in 1874 and the annexation of Ryukyu in April 1879, no one in the Manchu court dared to speak out for war! ”

The main body of the Han people was the Chinese who emigrated from the mainland, and the analysis of the world situation inevitably involved the Central Plains of the Far East.

"Everywhere the sea passes, there are overseas Chinese! No one wants to leave their homeland and come overseas to beg for a living, but the Manchu court was corrupt and incompetent, and even the famous talents and people were oppressed and insulted by the nobles of the Eight Banners, so the Chinese who left their homeland could only unite as one, condense everyone's strength together, compete with white-skinned ghost animals and local natives, and use knives and swords to seize the land where overseas Chinese live! ”…………

Li Mingyuan stood on the podium and spoke for 20 minutes, half of which was spent on the history of colonial expansion by the European powers, and the rest of the time was mainly used to explain a concept to the young officials: the Manchu court was corrupt and backward, and the rule of the Eight Banners was bound to collapse after 30 years; Only by uniting under the ruling clique of the Han State dominated by Li Mingyuan can overseas Chinese have a long-term future.

If you move to South America, still have illusions about the rule of the mainland government in the Central Plains, or are lucky, you plan to break away from the Han State and join the Manchu court, not only will the gains outweigh the losses, but you will also be spurned by all overseas Chinese and the Han government.

At the end of the speech, Li Mingyuan personally met with more than 10 representatives of newly recruited officials, had a brief exchange with each of them, and then left the venue under the protection of the security forces.

The next day, newspapers in Chang'an (Córdoba), Songjiang (Buenos Aires), Xinjing (Porto Alegre) and other Han countries appeared in large numbers about the induction ceremonies of young officials.

"Reform and change the law, and make the country strong through education!"

The Education Morning Post reprinted a passage from Li Mingyuan's speech, and then linked the newly recruited young officials to the development of local education in Han, emphasizing Li Mingyuan's emphasis on national education and the remarkable achievements of education construction in the past ten years.

"Continue to deepen the reform of the official selection system and provide excellent grassroots officials for the country." The Daily Minutes, a state-run media outlet affiliated with the Ministry of Rites of the Central Committee, reported in a modest manner, with a bias toward the reform of the system for the appointment of grassroots officials.

"The world of great controversy, the age of expansion, the great man of the Mandate of Heaven, recreate Yanhuang!"

Unlike the official media under the jurisdiction of government agencies, which focused on their own reports, the Qingjun Bao, an organ newspaper affiliated with the headquarters of the National Defense Forces, began with a magnificent report that "the destiny of heaven is clear, and the fortune of the country is in Han." In the turbulent times of 3,000 years, our generation of Han family sons and daughters should forge ahead, attack the white race, guard the 30,000 miles of rivers and mountains under their feet, and create an unprecedented great cause in China! …………”

A week later, the latest issue of the New York Times in the United States appeared in a column about the Han Kingdom: "Poor Argentines have lost their land wealth, and the savage yellow people stand on the bones of white people laughing and celebrating, may God bless the Argentines from the clutches of the yellow race as soon as possible......"

In the United States, because of the influence of white discrimination against Chinese workers, the Han occupation of Argentina had a greater impact on them, and the non-governmental newspapers took advantage of the narrow-minded and vindictive psychology of the white people at the bottom to publicize a large number of yellow people's threats to white people, in order to obtain newspaper sales and social influence, while the upper monopoly capitalists in the United States, especially the big farmers and textile factory owners, were taking advantage of the blockade of the Han Kingdom to sell grain, livestock, agricultural processing products, textile products and other industrial and agricultural products at high prices, and did not intend to be with the middle and lower class whites at all. Join the ranks of those who incited the government to go to war against the Han Kingdom.

Agriculture is the foundation of the country's economic rise, according to statistics, from 1870 to 1879, the cultivated land area of the Han State increased fivefold, from 16 million mu to 81 million mu,

In particular, during the period from 1875 to 1879, the reclamation of the wheat belt and the corn belt increased the yield of wheat by nearly 2.4 times, the yield of corn by about 3.5 times, and the development of the humid regions of northern Argentina increased the yield of rice by about 4 times. At the same time, because there are vast natural pastures in the La Plata area, and pasture and corn can be grown as fodder on a large area of arable land, so the development of animal husbandry in the Han Kingdom is very rapid, correspondingly, slaughtering, canned meat processing, agricultural products processing and manufacturing enterprises and other light industry enterprises in the decade have received strong support from the government, and gradually grown into a pillar technology industry, and from 1878, the total output value of local agriculture, animal husbandry products and agricultural products processing and production enterprises surpassed that of textile enterprises, It has become the largest industrial industry in Han Province in terms of production output.

The development of local agricultural production has strongly supported and promoted the development of industrial production and expanded the domestic market. The industrial layout of the Han Kingdom first started from the processing of agricultural products and the cotton textile industry, which first cultivated a group of grassroots industrial and technical talents for the local people, and secondly, the funds earned from the export of agricultural products and cotton textiles alleviated the financial constraints of the government to develop the core heavy industry.

The United States also relied on agricultural products, and throughout the nineteenth century, the agricultural production and processing industry provided the United States with the most extensive financial revenue, and it was not until the last decade of the late nineteenth century that the industrial output value surpassed agricultural products and the agricultural processing industry and became the pillar industry of the United States.

The local agriculture of the Han Kingdom was based on family farms, with an average of 200 to 300 acres of agricultural land per household, and the agricultural products produced were generally two to three layers higher than those of American farmers.

The land of the Rio de la Plata is more fertile than that of the United States, and the diligence of the Chinese is not comparable to that of the American farmers, so in the export competition of agricultural products, Han goods have a significant price advantage.

Before Britain blocked the maritime transportation of the Han Kingdom, among the American countries, Brazil continued to have civil strife and the export of agricultural products was seriously weakened, and the export volume of Han agricultural products surpassed Brazil and became the second largest grain exporter in North and South America, after the United States.

The United States is immersed in farming and development, limited by military strength, has no ability or willingness to attack Han across the ocean, Britain sent a fleet to blockade Han, although it helped the United States, but its domestic opposition is also getting louder.

At this time, the yield of agricultural land was only more than 200 catties per acre, and the cost of transporting grain from India and other colonies was higher than that of purchasing grain from South and North America.

Moreover, the ocean-going fleet lasted three or four months of overseas expeditions, and the daily cost was also a headache for the British government.

British Prime Minister Gladstone did not want Britain to be involved in a protracted war, and did not agree to settle the Argentine dispute by force at the beginning of the war, and after the ocean-going fleet went to Argentina, Gordon's troops failed to complete the strategic goal of rescuing the Argentine government, and Gordon's own telegram requesting military support was not only rejected, but also the landing of British troops along the Argentine coast was also forced by the London government to withdraw to Brazil.

On July 20, with the support of Prime Minister Gladstone, the British Secretary of State for Defence, Sir Hartington, proposed to abandon the strategy of naval blockade of Han in order to prevent Han from being wrecked and Paraguay from attacking Brazil.

It has to be said that the situation in South America in 1879 was extremely chaotic, with Chile, Bolivia, and Peru at war in the Pacific Rim, Han and Chile facing off on the front line of Puerto Montt in the south, and Paraguay standing behind Bolivia and Peru to support the war between the two countries against Chile.

On the eastern Atlantic front, the regular army of the Han State was divided into two places, one deployed in various parts of Argentina to deter local whites, and the other was deployed on the border with Brazil, to contain a part of the regular army of the Brazilian government and support the black riot in Brazil.

The constant war and turmoil are a true portrayal of the South American region, and on the Paraguayan side, the Paraguayan King López Jr. is about to add another fire to the tense situation in South America.
