Whether it's right or wrong!

There are things that need to be done!

For Sima Lei, as the new prefect of Shanghai, he knew that as the first prefect of the new Shanghai, although he was not the governor of Central Africa, he had to establish basic laws before the governor took office. Pen & Fun & Court www.biquge.info suitable for the laws of the colony.

Looking at the several colonial officials in front of him who had turned from employees of African companies, Sima Lei's expression was extremely serious!

"There are some things that are impossible to accept!"

When he said this, his small eyes even forced Li Chongli to look at him, because of Li Chongli's previous sentence.

"Slave!"

Stretching out a finger, Sima Lei said in an affirmative tone.

"Perhaps, we don't have slavery, but one thing is for sure, from ancient times to the present day, masters can't have relations with slaves, just as people can't have relations with animals!"

This sentence is obviously a bit heart-wrenching, and can even be said to be extremely racialized.

"I don't know, what did you treat black people in the past? Is it wealth? Is it labor? Is it livestock? No! ”

Shaking his head, Sima Lei pointed to the map and said.

"Perhaps, for the Western colonizers, these blacks were labor, wealth, slaves, but for us, it was not the case, they could be seen as an obstacle, an obstacle to the lives of immigrants in Africa, what do we need? What is needed is to settle here, and in the future millions of immigrants will be settled here, in which case our workforce will be mainly native immigrants, not natives! ”

The difference in colonial attitudes directly determined the fundamental colonial policy.

"Your Excellency, you all know this, but you have to be considerate of one thing - many of the exiles here are single!"

Li Chongli said with some dissatisfaction.

"They're men, there's always a need, we can't ban them from sleeping with anyone!"

"I need to remind you that it is forbidden to marry with the natives, including physical relations!"

In the face of Li Chongli's rebuttal, Sima Lei said bluntly.

"Not only to prohibit it, but also to prohibit it in the form of law, and according to the authority given to me by the Colonial Office, the first colonial decree I signed was 'the prohibition of interracial marriage', among other acts! Violators will be severely punished! ”

This was precisely the power of the colonial officials - the power to make decrees according to local conditions. As the first prefect of New Shanghai, Sima Lei never imagined that the first decree he issued would be this kind of decree.

His words immediately caused a fierce reaction from Li Chongli and others.

"My lord, don't forget, most people here are alone, and they can only settle down when they have a home!"

"Home? No problem, you can bring their home from the country! ”

"Not everyone wants to come here! And many of them were originally single, what kind of family are there! ”

"People in China don't want to come, we can import women from Vietnam, from North Korea, from Japan, after all, in terms of culture and skin color, they are Chinese!"

Sima Lei said this because the colony of Borneo had already brought tens of thousands of Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese women into marriage to single immigrants, established tens of thousands of families there, and had many second-generation immigrants.

"And what are these people? It's black! ”

Sneered, Sima Lei said in a mocking tone.

"And they are still uncivilized barbarians, what will be the result of our countrymen intermarrying with these barbarians? The offspring that give birth to will be stupid! And what is the skin tone, black and yellow? Is it coffee? Is it the skin color that belongs to us Chinese?"

In fact, deep down, Sima Lei was not a racist, but as an official, he had to think about the future of the African colonies.

"But my lord, according to you, in the future, there will be millions of immigrants coming here, and they will all buy wives from North Korea, Japan, Vietnam? How can the Three Kingdoms sell women to us completely, and when the time comes, what will happen to their men? ”

In Li Chongli's view, this is obviously an extremely unrealistic problem, after all, it is impossible for the three countries to sell all women to foreigners.

"Are they going to watch us buy their women? When the time comes, this is likely to affect our policy! ”

"As long as they're willing to sell, what's the point of buying them all? As for men...... Labor is needed here in Africa! ”

Li Chongli's words seemed to remind Sima Lei, and he only listened to him.

"The Vietnamese have long been adapted to the tropical climate, so they can reclaim the land here, as for the Koreans, the Japanese are also used to growing rice, so naturally they can also grow rice here, and our immigrants will be allocated a lot of land, paddy field planting, plantations require a lot of labor, where do the laborers come from? We can bring men from Korea, Japan, and Vietnam to work as laborers, their women to produce offspring for our immigrants, and their men to cultivate our fields and create wealth for us! That's where their value lies! ”

When he said this, Sima Lei thought a lot more, and he even deliberately emphasized it.

"Vassal...... All the vassals will eventually become a province of China! And this will certainly contribute to the integration of peoples, of course we will integrate them! ”

"But my lord, in that case, we will have to face the fact that there are tens of millions of single laborers from Japan, Korea, Vietnam and other vassal states in the colonies, and they are in the prime of life, which must be a hidden danger to society, and the problem is still not solved at all!"

Li Chongli said bluntly, in his opinion, this is simply kicking the problems of the Chinese people to another group of people.

"Then let them marry blacks!"

As soon as the words fell, Sima Lei stood up and said abruptly, as if his eyes lit up.

"That's right! Let's let them marry blacks, maybe they have Chinese ancestry, but after all, they are not really Chinese, we don't need to think about their future, well, yes, we can use skin color to establish three classes in Africa, among which the Chinese are undoubtedly the best, and the second class is the immigrants of these feudal states, and the third class is the local natives! Interracial marriage is prohibited, but it is not absolute, it should be forbidden to marry outside the ranks, but it is not forbidden to marry across classes, a woman of the third estate may marry a woman of the second estate, and a woman of the second class may marry a ...... of the first estate"

At this time, Sima Lei seemed a little interested, and he even walked back and forth excitedly,

"Yellow, brown, black, yes, these are the three ranks, and eventually, the number of native natives will be smaller and smaller, and here, we can achieve a new integration, yes, the empire itself will prohibit people below the first-class citizens from entering, we can establish a new integration in Africa, and we will also give the various levels of promotion channels, so that they can see hope."

And Sima Lei didn't say that this is a kind of plunder, a disguised plunder of the population, and what is the final result through this export of women? That is, there will be more and more first-class citizens, and the number of third-class citizens will be smaller and smaller.

"Of course, we also have to implement strict hierarchical controls here, such as ...... Isolation! We're going to quarantine on all fronts! Only through isolation and preferential treatment in the hierarchy can they aspire to marry into a high class and live a happier life! ”

When Li Chongli and the others were talking about this kind of "isolation" by this young and somewhat surprising prefect, they only heard him continue.

"Of course, we can also set up "honorary Chinese", such as Japan, Korea, Vietnam and other vassal subjects, they come here, can be regarded as "honorary Chinese", of course, in comparison, their status and power are less than the real Chinese, that is, in the implementation of segregated areas, do not have to be with the aborigines, as for their indigenous wives, well, can also be accepted as "honorary Chinese" sub-race, but need to wear a logo, as for their children, as long as they receive a systematic education in Chinese culture, will be regarded as an "honorary Chinese" and can marry a Chinese ......"

At this time, Sima Lei did not think that his idea would bring any changes to the African colonies, but he knew very well that this system would be conducive to the colonization of Africa, and could establish a buffer between the Chinese immigrants and the local natives, and this buffer would be a boost to African domination.

"But Lord Prefect, this, this, when those indigenous women marry a large number of honorary Chinese, doesn't it mean that many indigenous people will become singles? Will it cause any chaos then? ”

When faced with the questioning of his subordinates, the corners of Sima Lei's lips lifted slightly.

"What kind of mess does it cause for the fact that we need so much labor for our colonial enterprise? We need to build railroads, we need to build docks, we need cities, we need mines, we need workers in the mines, and when they get there, like the labor you use now, what's going on? ”

When he said this, Sima Lei thought of the laborers with collars and chains around their necks that he saw when he first came here, and the indigenous laborers who had no freedom and toiled to death on the construction site.

Perhaps, for them, death itself is a kind of tranquility!

Cruel!

At this time, Sima Lei finally knew why, when he was at the School of Administration, the British professor would tell them that the colonial cause was cruel, and that any colonial official had to be hard-hearted! Because the core of the colony's cause is cruelty, through cruel and ruthless oppression to obtain the benefits of the colony!

Of course, this oppression is limited to the natives, and as nationals of the suzerain, they deserve to be treated as superior people in the colonies, even if they are beggars from the natives, they should enjoy the same power as the nobility here! At least for those natives, they should be on top!

Cruelty has been doomed from the beginning, and when the fate of these indigenous people is now decided, and even when they are divided into 369 and so on, Sima Lei suddenly thought of another possibility, if the colonial rule of the Manchu Qing continued, then one day, will the Chinese be classified as 369 and so on by the Western powers as they are now? Could it be that these natives are now enslaved like the Westerners?

"Fortunately, now, the Manchu Qing has perished!"

Yes, now that the Manchu Qing Dynasty has fallen, what is now in front of the world is a much more powerful Chinese Empire, and the reason why the current Chinese Empire is pointing its head at Africa is precisely to compete with the world powers?

Africa!

One of the most important reasons why China chose this place as a breakthrough in its career is because it is a corner forgotten by the great powers!

Why was this place forgotten by the Great Powers?

The reason couldn't be simpler, climate!

Not only does it have a tropical climate that is not suitable for Europeans, but it also has a wide variety of tropical diseases.

"If we want to carry out the colonization cause in Africa, we must make a medical breakthrough, and only by establishing the African Institute of Diseases and studying the diseases unique to Africa can we continue the colonization cause, otherwise what awaits us will inevitably ......be a failure."

Standing in the room, looking out the window through the screen window, Sima Lei thought of the reminders of the pioneers in the academy when he left the School of Administration.

Not only malaria is there here, but also various other diseases, such as sleeping sickness, which is more deadly, and in order to prevent these mosquitoes from spreading diseases endemic to Africa, every room is equipped with screens, and even the doors are equipped with curtains to prevent mosquitoes and flies from entering the room. The reason why Portugal was willing to sell their colonies in Africa was not only because of the decline of the country, but more importantly, because diseases have always plagued them, and at the Portuguese trading post at the mouth of the Congo River, a dozen or even dozens of people die of various diseases every year, and the diseases of Africa have defeated the colonizers of the civilized world.

Will China be defeated by these diseases?

Standing by the window, looking at the Congo River outside the window, Sima Lei thought like this, he didn't know the answer, but he knew very well that disease could not prevent the people of the country from entering this wild land, because this wild land stored too much wealth, and now these riches are lying quietly on this eternal and unchanging wild land, quietly waiting for the people of the country to dig them out, so that the world can realize the charm of this land!

"Perhaps, by that time, no one will ignore the existence of this land as they do now!"

Thinking of the snubbing and even ignoring the countries towards Africa, Sima Lei suddenly smiled again. He looked at the Congo River and muttered to himself.

"This is also a good thing, it is precisely because they have neglected it, that we have the opportunity to enter here, and we have the opportunity to turn this place into another China!"

Yes!

Now this is West Shanghai, and in the future, there will be West Guangzhou, West Tianjin, West Jinan, etc., and there will be one after another geographical terms belonging to China in this Western world......
