Chapter 270: Cabinet Immigration Meeting
For China, it is not necessary to occupy the whole of Burma, but only to occupy most of it, and the main thing is to exchange for British compromise.
As long as Britain compromises and recognizes the international legitimacy of the Kokang Kingdom, then China can justifiably export arms to the Kokang Kingdom, and so on.
No matter how you fight, the Kokang Kingdom can't lose.
It is of great strategic significance to obtain most of Myanmar, not only to pocket most of Myanmar's resources, but also to obtain access to the sea in the southwest.
There is no need to be so anxious to defeat the whole of Myanmar, and when the fight really starts, Myanmar will not be a problem.
Under such circumstances, there was no need for the Chinese Imperial Political Axe to push the British too quickly.
Leaving half of the Burma valley to Britain is tantamount to leaving half of the Burmese colony to Britain, and Britain should be content.
Therefore, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire had no reason to obtain any more favorable conditions for Britain.
While the two sides were negotiating, the Kokang National Defense Forces were also expanding everywhere, and the vast sea of the Burmese People's War became very turbulent, although it was still very chaotic in terms of organization, but the Kokang Defense Forces were very clever in buying people's hearts, first of all, the Kokang Kingdom implemented wartime rationing.
It is stipulated how much food each person can receive per day, so there is no contradiction between the Burmese natives in the Kokang Kingdom, because they are all equal, and the main contradiction is from the outside.
Where there are contradictions, there is motivation to move forward.
Under the slogan of liberating the people of Myanmar, a group of very heroic fighters has emerged among the indigenous people of Myanmar.
This kind of people's war is spreading rapidly in Burma, but although it seems to be very large, but because of the lack of time accumulation, this kind of people's war is still relatively immature, as long as Britain is ruthless to invest a lot of financial and material resources, then the Pingding Valley area is no problem at all, as for the counterattack in the mountainous area, it is a bit hanging.
However, Britain could not spare much energy to deal with the unrest in Burma at this time, and if South Africa was able to produce gold and diamonds to keep South Africa alive, then Burma was a colony of little significance.
Not only would it not be cost-effective to defend Burma, but it would also be necessary to disperse the forces on the main battlefield, and if an agreement can be reached to demarcate the border and rule the country, then it will be possible to draw forces from Burma to support the European theater.
But the British had a doubt, that is, how could they ensure that after the demarcation of the border, the Kokang Kingdom would no longer harass the southern Burmese colonies.
"If China can guarantee that the Kokang Kingdom will not create conflict again, then Britain can agree to their request for demarcation."
Zhu Erdian conveyed the will of the British Empress to Zhu Xiaocheng.
The Queen of England has the right to declare war on foreign countries, and the Queen of England has a greater say in foreign affairs.
"We will be in contact with the Kokang Kingdom, and we can't give an answer yet." Zhu Xiaocheng said to Zhu Erdian, he naturally couldn't agree, it seemed that the Kokang Kingdom was a puppet regime that completely obeyed the Chinese Empire.
Three days later, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire formally assured Britain that the Kokang Kingdom would not conduct any further military operations against southern Burma after the demarcation.
If the Kokang Kingdom were to conduct military operations against southern Burma, then the Chinese Empire would punish the Kokang Kingdom.
With such a promise from the Chinese Empire, the British colonial authorities in Burma signed the "Northern Burma Reading Power Declaration" drafted by the Kokang Kingdom in northern Burma on January 18, 1917, and Northern Burma officially proclaimed reading power.
Subsequently, the two sides signed the Anglo-Froxy-Presidential Boundary Agreement, which stipulated that North Burma and South Burma should use Naypyidaw as a horizontal line to demarcate the boundary between the two sides.
This was followed by the signing of the Anglo-Farcidental Non-Aggression Pact, which was signed under the auspices of China and signed by Zhu Xiaocheng, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire.
This agreement stipulates that in the future, the two sides will not invade each other and recognize each other's sovereignty over areas beyond the boundaries.
This agreement was opposed by the Burmese colonial authorities, who believed that as long as the British Empire withdrew from the European battlefield, it was entirely possible to mobilize a large army to counterattack, or even destroy this Kokang kingdom.
However, the British authorities did not think so, they knew that the Kokang Kingdom was a force supported by China, and the Kokang Kingdom was backed by China, and Britain could mobilize forces to attack the Kokang Kingdom, and China could also mobilize forces to support the Kokang Kingdom.
Although the Burmese colonial authorities were very reluctant to petition, the orders from the mainland could not be disobeyed, and they eventually signed the non-aggression pact.
On the day the agreement was signed, the Kokang Kingdom sent a message to the world in a clear way, announcing the official establishment of the Kokang Kingdom of Myanmar.
Three days later, the British reluctantly announced that they would recognize the international legal surname of the Kokang Kingdom of Burma.
Subsequently, the Chinese Empire also sent a telegram to recognize the legal surname of the Kokang Kingdom of Burma, and later, the Nanyang Republic and the Arab Kingdom of Rashid successively recognized the legal surname of the Kokang Kingdom.
At this time, it has entered 1917, it is almost the New Year, and the Spring Festival is January 23.
After years of operation, the Chinese Empire finally settled on three die-hard younger brothers overseas, one was the Arab Kingdom of Rashid, the other was the Republic of Nanyang, and the third was the Kingdom of Kokang.
The national conditions of the three countries are different, and the policies are completely different.
In the future, Chinese businessmen will focus on infiltrating Arab Rashid to control the economy, culture, public opinion and other fields in Arab Rashid Germany.
The indigenous monkeys of the Nanyang Republic have a blood feud with the Chinese nation, so the purge policy adopted will become a country dominated by Chinese immigrants in the future.
The Kokang Kingdom of Myanmar continued to carry out the policy of 'crossing to the south with clothes and crowns', continued to sinicize the indigenous people in the south, and continued the southward expansion process in Chinese history, but it is good to have fewer indigenous people, but it will not be deliberately cleaned.
Although the Burmese natives make up the majority of the population, as long as they continue to migrate to Myanmar and sinicize the Burmese natives, they will also become part of China in the future.
However, the regime of the Kokang Kingdom, all countries in the world do not know enough about them, and even China does not know about this Kokang Kingdom at all.
The Kokang Han nationality was formed during the late Ming Dynasty to resist the Qing Dynasty, when Zhang Xianzhong's son Li Dingguo supported the Southern Ming Emperor to resist the Qing Dynasty, he was unwilling to surrender to the Qing Dynasty and led the army and the people to retreat into Burma for a long time and fight with the Qing army, and when the Yongli Emperor fled to Burma.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Li Dingguo was the main force in the southwest to resist the Qing Dynasty, and Zheng Chenggong was the main force to resist the Qing Dynasty in the southeast.
Although Li Dingguo was Zhang Xianzhong's righteous son, he was able to change his camp when the nation was in danger, assisted Nanming, did not commit any offense against the people, united forces to resist the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and showed a very high national integrity.
It was only because of the emergence of merchant capital at the end of the Ming Dynasty, coupled with the fact that the Ming Dynasty was not strict in the control of public opinion, and the officials were extremely [***], most of the officials and businessmen became grass on the wall, and whoever was strong fell to whichever side, so in the end the resistance to the Qing Dynasty failed.
After more than 260 years of changes, the Kokang Han nationality was established today.
The Spring Festival is coming, the king of the Kokang Kingdom Yang Lianxing decided to enter Yunnan during the Spring Festival to worship the 'Jin Wang Temple', the King of Jin is the title of Li Dingguo, in the southwest region, the people of the southwest to commemorate Li Dingguo, worship from generation to generation.
Li Dingguo was the only general in the late Ming Dynasty who could organize a large-scale decisive battle between the field army and the Qing army, breaking the myth that 'the Manchurians are not satisfied with 10,000 people, and the Manchurians are invincible', and he has made great achievements in this regard. He was the spiritual sustenance of the people of the world at the end of the Ming Dynasty to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and after the death of illness in Laos, the people of the southwest built the 'Jin Wang Temple'.
…… After the empire officially achieved international legitimacy in the Kokang Kingdom, a new 'Ministry of Immigration' was established, which was mainly responsible for immigration activities.
At this time, the empire had to migrate to various regions in order to strengthen the degree of sinicization of its regions.
Therefore, there is an urgent need for a professional department to manage the overall work of immigrants and implement the implementation of immigration incentive policies.
For the immigrants to the Kokang Kingdom, many people panicked when they heard it, and they didn't know where it was! Whatever you say, move it.
If it's an immigrating to the Nanyang Republic or something, that's fine.
The Nanyang Republic is the world of the Chinese, and there is a guarantee in the past.
As for this Kokang Kingdom, it was still at war not long ago, and who knows what the situation is like over there.
On the issue of immigration to Myanmar, the Cabinet held a Cabinet meeting.
"The main reason for immigrating to Myanmar is that the people do not have a full understanding of Myanmar, and now Kokang has obtained international legal status, and the information of the Kokang Han can also be made public." "But the main question is, if you migrate to Myanmar, what are the policy guarantees? ”
"The roads in Myanmar are not very smooth yet, but according to the report of the Kokang Kingdom, many Burmese people have died, and there are a lot of land vacancies." Yan Xishan said: "Coupled with the fact that the Kokang Kingdom has raided all the rich families, the economy of northern Myanmar is now in chaos, and the circulation of goods is not smooth. However, there is also a huge business opportunity, and those small businessmen who go to Myanmar to make a living will definitely make money. ”
"That's good! The rich households were copied, and the Chinese businessmen used to occupy a dominant position. You Zhengbin said with a smile, "The main thing is to encourage some small businessmen to do some small business in the past, and we can provide them with loans, so that we can have the first batch of immigrants." ”
"In addition, Myanmar is suitable for growing tropical cash crops, and agriculture is our strength, so we can call those farming companies to have a business meeting, let them invest some money in agriculture in Myanmar, do some projects, and then send employees over, so that we have a second group of immigrants."
"And we look at what other resources in Myanmar can be developed, and then we develop those resources, and we also recruit workers from within the country. In addition, Myanmar will definitely need to build projects, railways, roads, bridges, ports, etc., and it is also possible to migrate to Myanmar in this way. ”
"I think we should first disclose the information about the Kokang Kingdom, so that the people don't know anything about Myanmar." Yan Xishan said, "The Kokang Kingdom has reported that it is going to Yunnan to worship the Jin Wang Temple during the Spring Festival, and you can find some newspaper reporters to report it at that time." ”
