Hearing the emperor ask about the election in the United States, Wu Ruxiao said: "Your Majesty, last time Mashali mentioned that the results of the precedent for the U.S. presidential election have come out. The Democratic Party has not yet put forward a candidate because of the internal disputes between the north and the south, but he mentioned that the one named Douglas was inquired about, and he should be the candidate; Republican candidates, No. 1 New York Senator William Seward and No. 2 Abraham Lincoln have been identified; There is also a candidate for the Constitutional Union Party, John Bell, but according to our information, this person was originally from the Whig Party and did not have much support, so it is unlikely that he will be elected, and the other parties and some other candidates have not yet been decided, or have been confirmed, but the news has not yet reached Shengjing. In general, Wechen and Marshali agree that the final winner of this US presidential election is likely to be from the Republican Party. ”

Feng Yunshan nodded, Wu Ruxiao said that he basically knew what he said, what he wanted to know was how William Seward and Abraham Lincoln were prepared, and who the Democratic Party chose to participate in the election. Obviously, the news from the United States has not yet reached Shengjing. Fortunately, Ma Shali came to inform him of the situation and reminded himself, and he immediately asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Special Services Department to make some arrangements, otherwise, it would be really difficult to grasp the situation over there, and it would be good if the submarine cable in the Pacific Ocean was successfully erected, but Feng Yunshan knew that this was just an illusion, the Pacific submarine cable was not as good as the Atlantic, even in history, it was more than 30 years later than it was successfully laid.

Fan Ruzeng said: "Your Majesty, there is news from Luzon Island that a large amount of copper ore has been found there for mining. In addition, there was a violent conflict between the natives of Luzon and the Chinese there, and the local garrison stationed there suppressed the local aborigines, and several indigenous tribes suffered thousands of casualties, which then triggered a strong resistance from the natives, and half of the defenders of Luzon and the 27th Infantry Division were dispatched to wipe out the rebellious indigenous tribes. However, many officials in the imperial court felt that it was too cruel and demanded that the generals of the 27th Infantry Division be punished. ”

Feng Yunshan laughed: "Kill and kill." Originally, those natives honestly obeyed the arrangements of the Chinese, but they still thought that Luzon Islands was their territory, and they were really obsessed, so they should be given a bloody lesson, so that those natives remembered that keeping to themselves was the right way. Now the entire Luzon Islands is the territory of the Chinese Empire, and the Chinese people have gone to develop there, to explore and mine some copper mines for me, and they dare to obstruct it. Look at the Koreans, they are much smarter, there is no rebellion, they simply join the Chinese Empire, regard themselves as Chinese descendants, learn Chinese, learn Chinese, and prepare to completely integrate into my Han family, this is the way to survive. ”

Feng Yunshan's purpose in setting up North Korea as a model is naturally to let other places do the same, slowly and completely integrate into the Han culture, and after a few generations, they will become the sons and daughters of the Han people, and naturally there will be no dissent.

Since Luzon Island has discovered rich copper mines, Feng Yunshan of course will immediately organize people to open mines, it just so happens that these Filipinos are thin and small, and they are suitable for being miners, Feng Yunshan made up his mind to send all those disobedient Filipinos to mining. Copper ore was too important for the Chinese Empire. Although more copper ore has been found in Yunnan, it is more difficult to transport there, and the output of the Dexing copper mine in Jiangxi is not as high. With the economic development of the Chinese Empire, the amount of copper used to mint holy coins has increased dramatically, and the demand for copper has increased due to the recent start of the General Staff to order metal-shelled bullets, and it is timely to find copper in Luzon.

"By the way, Your Majesty, Weichen has something to do!" Zeng Guanlan, the deputy prime minister of the cabinet on the side, reported suddenly.

"Quasi-playing!" Feng Yunshan was a little curious when he saw Zeng Guanlan solemnly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zeng Guanlan said: "There are many local officials and professors of Chinese culture who have written to Weichen, saying that now our Chinese empire has not only been completely unified, but also achieved an unprecedented territory in history. It is recommended that His Majesty enshrine Mount Tai and proclaim it to the world, so as to boost the morale of the people of the empire. At the same time, they also said that the territory of the empire is now too large, and many places do not have a clear division of provincial capital areas, and even the name is not easy to name, and it is recommended that those newly occupied territories should be divided according to the original provincial division standards, and at the same time take names and redefine the territory of the whole country. ”

Hearing Zeng Guanlan say this, Zuo Zongtang also hurriedly echoed: "What Vice Premier Zeng said is that the empire's territory is expanding too fast, and it has always been a general name, and it should indeed be well demarcated, and a clear division of political regions is also more suitable for local governance and people's lives." ”

Feng Yunshan nodded in agreement, and said, "In this case, Zeng Aiqing, you will take the lead in re-demarcating the Chinese Empire and determining the scope and name of the areas governed by each province. ”

Zeng Guanlan was overjoyed when he saw that his opinion was adopted, and hurriedly replied: "Weichen obeys the order!" ”

Referring to the situation of the newly occupied territories, Feng Yunshan remembered the immigration issue he was most concerned about, so he asked Zeng Guanlan: "In those newly occupied territories, how is the immigration situation of my Han people?" ”

Zeng Guanlan replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the immigration situation in various places is very stable, except for the conflict between the natives of Luzon Island and the Han immigrants mentioned by Weichen just now, everything else is very smooth. ”

Saying, Zeng Guanlan reported with a few treasures: "North Korea began two-way immigration three or four years ago, and now it has moved more than 4 million Han people, removed a total of 2 million Korean people, realized a large number of population exchanges, and increased the proportion of Han people in North Korea to more than 50 percent, so that the whole North Korea has completely become the world of Han people, Your Majesty also knows that these Korean people have a natural inferiority complex for my Han family children, and have always admired our Han culture and life, therefore, they are interested in Han people immigration, It's very friendly, and I can't help but lead them to get rich. ”

"Nagasaki and other areas of Kyushu have also immigrated nearly 200,000 people from Zhejiang and Fujian, as a bridgehead to influence Japan, this location is important, and Wechen believes that immigrants can influence the Japanese very well, so that they are like Koreans, envy us and want to join us."

"In the Outer Northeast, especially in the valleys of Miaojie and Vladivostok, as well as on Sakhalin Island, 80,000 Koreans have migrated to develop land into farmland, while the Chinese people have migrated nearly 200,000 people to develop Miaojie and Vladivostok. As for the Beihai and Xihai areas of Siberia, since last year, more than 50,000 Mongols and 100,000 Han people have also migrated. ”

"The Huijiang in the northwest, as well as the newly occupied Kazakh Khanate and Tsarist Russia, are only in the eastern part of the Kokand Kingdom, where nearly 1 million Han Chinese have moved to develop farmland. However, to the west of the Kokand Kingdom, because the distance was too far away, and it was all a desert, the Han people who were good at farming had no use, and for these places, they directly led those Mongols to occupy them. ”
