522 Territory
Immediately after the successful conclusion of the plenum of the Kuomintang Revolutionary Party, the Datang Congress began to pass a series of bills based on some of the results of the meeting, leading Datang to a fast track of development. One of the important contents of the www.biquge.info is that Datang has redefined its own local administrative divisions to further adapt to the subsequent immigration work and economic development.
The original three states on the west coast, the core area of Datang, have not undergone much change. There was no adjustment of administrative areas in the three southeastern prefectures, and some border areas were moderately adjusted in Luanzhou and Yuanzhou, but there was no particularly big impact. The California Peninsula, which was seized from the Spanish colony, was officially called Yaozhou, in order to echo Jiazhou, and it was all beautiful jade. In fact, because the California Peninsula is basically desert and hilly, there is not much room for development here, except for a few coastal areas.
The region of New Mexico, which had recently become a battlefield, was bounded by the Western Colorado River to the East Pecos River, forming a vast new native state named Gwangju. The meaning is that the terrain here is high, there is little precipitation, and there is plenty of sunshine. Originally, the southern part of Louisiana was divided into Texas and Baozhou by the Tang Dynasty, and was bounded by the Red River to the north.
Gwangju, Baoju and Dezhou have also become the three central and southern states of Datang, and will also be a key direction of migration for Datang in the coming period. Relying on the Luoao Railway, which has been completed, the three central and southern states also have very good development potential, and Datang has taken the three states on the west coast, the three states in the southeast and the three states in the central and southern parts of the country as the main engines of the country's internal economic development.
In addition to these nine more important states, Datang also set up a number of local states to establish control this time. North of British Columbia, a vast mountainous region up to Alaska. is set to a Rocky State. Another plane east of Gangzhou is the region of Idaho. It was established as the state of the Netherlands. In the vicinity of Wyoming. Datang established Chuzhou, and these are the state settings for the area west of the Rocky Mountains.
The entire Central Great Plains, which runs through the inland areas of the United States and Canada in another plane, has set up Mingzhou, Tengzhou, Xizhou, Lingzhou, Yinzhou, Peizhou, Tasmania, and Eberzhou. Some of these states have relatively superior natural conditions, and some also contain rich resources, but for the time being, it is still difficult for Datang to develop these inland states.
Finally, there are more remote areas, the land around Hudson Bay and adjacent to the Arctic that was exchanged from the British, which was established as the Arctic Territory by the Tang Dynasty; Alaska is made an Alaska territory. These two regions are characterised by extremely small populations. Moreover, the natural conditions are relatively harsh, even after the 21st century, they have not been properly developed, and Datang does not have to build a strong defense force, because it is difficult for competitors to stay in such an environment for a long time.
In recent years, the Russians have repeatedly tried to establish a stronghold in Alaska, but their expedition fleet, as long as they encounter the Tang fleet in the waters near the North Pacific, the Tang will never show mercy and will sink them immediately. The Russians also tried to build forts in Alaska, but as soon as they did. It will be attacked by the Don army, and eventually the fortress will be burned. The people were killed, and all the supplies they had brought with them were also looted by the Tang. Later, the Tang people not only operated in Alaska, but also sometimes crossed the Bering Strait and raided the Russian stronghold on the Kamchatka Peninsula, which brought the Russian fur trade in Kamchatka almost to a halt.
Russian Tsar Catherine II was extremely indignant about this, and sent envoys to negotiate with the Tang Dynasty, but the Tang side claimed that Alaska was an inalienable legal territory of the Tang Dynasty, and that the Russian invasion of Alaska had caused the anger of the Tang Dynasty, and the sabotage of Kamchatka was the retaliation of the Tang Dynasty for Tsarist Russia's attempt to establish a stronghold in Alaska. Tsarist Russia has no way to explain this, except for not recognizing the Tang Dynasty's occupation of Alaska, there is no other measure.
There was no direct diplomatic relationship between Tsarist Russia and the Tang Dynasty, not even a chargé d'affaires, both sides had their own arrogance, and the fighting nations would not easily make concessions, so there was no consensus on the Alaska issue, the two countries were actually in a state of extremely small conflict, Catherine II was constantly strengthening the forces in the Kamchatka direction to guard against the attack of the Tang army, and waiting for an opportunity to covet Alaska on the other side. And the Tang Dynasty was also happy to constantly launch attacks in Kamchatka to weaken the power of Tsarist Russia in the Far East.
In 1789, the territory of the Tang Dynasty also reached an unprecedented peak. In addition to the national states and territories, which cover an area of about 15 million square kilometres, the District of Mexico covers an area of more than 2.6 million square kilometers, and Cuba is also included as a province in the Mexican Special Administrative Region. Because the United China Special Economic Zone is the size of three cities, the area is relatively small, and of course the significance is very huge.
Other Overseas Territories - 16,000 square kilometers of the Kingdom of Hawaii - 16,000 square kilometers of the Okuyu Overseas Territory, 170,000 square kilometers of Guwei Overseas Territory, 2.3 million square kilometers of Sunda Overseas Territory, 160,000 square kilometers of Sriwijaya Overseas Territory, 180,000 square kilometers of Chenla Overseas Territory, 900,000 square kilometers of Siam Overseas Territory, 500,000 square kilometers of Myanmar Overseas Territory, and 130,000 square kilometers of Donghui Overseas Territory.
The development of overseas territories in Oceania is relatively shallow, with an area of 7.61 million Australian overseas territories having only established no more than 10 towns and cities, and the population is less than 100,000. New Zealand's overseas territory covers an area of 280,000 square kilometers, and Shengyou Overseas Territory (New Caledonia) covers an area of 18,000 square kilometers.
If you add up all these overseas territories, Datang alone owns more than 12 million square kilometers of land. If you add up the home states and the special districts, you get a terrifying and huge figure of 27 million square kilometers.
Excluding unnaturalized aborigines and illegal immigrants, in the territory of Datang, there are 12 million people in the mainland, 5 million in the Mexican Special Administrative Region, 2 million citizens with Datang status in the United Special Economic Zone of China, and the total population of all the other overseas territories is almost 5 million, so the total population of Datang is 24 million. It is equivalent to less than one person on average in an area of less than one square kilometer, and this extent of land is sparsely populated, which is also rare in the world.
However, everyone knows that the Tang Dynasty's ambitions for land are endless, just like the Tang army has sharpened its knives and is ready to turn Vietnam into an overseas territory under its rule. (To be continued.) )
