Since the founding of the United States, the land area has been expanding, and the industry has developed rapidly, and it only took more than 100 years to surpass Britain and become the world's largest industrial power, playing an increasingly important role in the world.

Unexpectedly, the Xia Empire occupied 90 of the territory in less than 1 month, and was suddenly beaten back to before the founding of the People's Republic of China, with a land area of less than 700,000 square kilometers.

After the signing of the Treaty of Washington, the Xia Empire quickly announced the establishment of the Lu State on the occupied American territory, which was a country with Chinese as the main body and the suzerainty as the Xia Empire, and adopted the same laws and regulations as the Xia Empire; Then the full contents of the Washington Treaty were announced to all Americans, and the Americans were advised to leave the country of Lu and go to the United States.

Then, police stations and Chinese organizations and families in various places received orders from their superiors to urgently arrest Americans who had persecuted Chinese in the first place, whether they were government officials, policemen, or ordinary Americans, as long as someone reported it, the police would immediately come to the door, the whole family was arrested, the property was confiscated, and then these people were detained in a centralized manner, and when they stabilized in the future, these people were good free labor, and they would not be let go in their lifetime.

After the establishment of the Lu State, the first order announced by the Government Council was that the land of the whole country should be owned by the state, and all mineral resources should be owned by the royal family of the Xia Empire; When the Americans left, they were only allowed to take away the stored dollars, and all other infrastructure and materials belonged to the Xia Empire, and they must register before leaving, issue street signs, and strictly prohibit the destruction of infrastructure and industrial and mining equipment, otherwise they will be severely punished; If an American does not leave Lu within 3 months, he or she automatically becomes a resident of Lu State; To this end, Lu Guo established a number of mining companies, such as the National Oil Company, the Iron Ore Company, and the Copper Mining Company, to take over the various mining companies and mines now held by the Americans.

The second order announced was the establishment of the Luguo Railway Corporation, the establishment of 7 railway sections, and all the property rights of the railways in the territory of the Luguo were owned by the Luguo Railway Corporation; All railroad workers have the option to leave the country and travel to the United States.

The third decree announced was that the 2 million Jews living in the United States could choose to go to the ghetto in the Xia Empire, and when they left, all their assets must be handed over to the government of Lu, which was responsible for providing food, lodging and boats, and getting them safely to the ghetto, otherwise the Jews who remained in Luzhou would not enjoy any preferential treatment.

The fourth order announced is about the handling of industrial and commercial owners, all industrial and commercial owners can choose to leave the country, but when they leave, the factories and shops must be handed over to the government of the country, which is equivalent to giving up all their property and leaving the country naked, or they can choose to stay in the country, but their factories or shops and other government of the country of Lu will account for 60% of the shares, and the government will not send people to interfere in their operations, but only responsible for supervision and dividends; The green card is valid for 3 years, 5 years and 10 years respectively, and will be re-identified after expiration, and individuals who have been qualified for 20 years can be converted into citizens of Shandong and enjoy all the preferential treatment of Shandong citizens.

The fifth decree announced is that doctors, teachers, financial personnel, scientific researchers, designers, and skilled industrial workers can continue to stay in the country and continue to hold their existing assets, and the government will issue them with "temporary citizen identity cards"; For Americans who do not meet the requirements, they must choose to be residents of Lu or leave Lu country, and they also need a road sign issued by the government when leaving.

As a resident of Lu country, you cannot hold fixed assets such as houses and fields, and the land you hold now will be confiscated, and fixed assets such as houses need to pay a depreciation fee of 5 per year.

Americans who choose to be residents of Lu or who hold a green card must abide by the laws and regulations of Lu and are not allowed to leave Lu without permission.

At the same time, the government also issued a sixth decree prohibiting the circulation of dollars in Lu, where only the paper money of the Xia Empire or gold and silver could be traded.

Just when many people felt hopeless, the Lu State Council issued the seventh order, if there is an unmarried woman between the ages of 15 and 30 in the family, if the woman is willing to marry the Lu officers and soldiers as his wife, and is selected by the staff, then all her immediate family members can become the holders of the Lu green card, and after their Chinese language passes the test, they can become official citizens of the Lu State and enjoy the treatment that all citizens should enjoy.

This makes families with unmarried girls in their families the envy of the surrounding Americans, as long as the conditions are suitable, all the families enthusiastically sign up, hoping that their families will become the lucky ones; You must know that a large number of unmarried girls are needed to solve the marriages of nearly 2 million officers and soldiers, and the girls selected in Lu State alone cannot meet the needs, and it is necessary to send trained girls from Japan and other countries to this side.

Many Americans feel that the United States has lost more than 90 of its territory, and it is necessary to face the huge indemnity of the Xia Empire, and it will not be a good life to return to the United States, so it is better to continue to stay in the Xia Empire as a resident, as long as you work hard, there will be no problem in supporting yourself and your family, besides, because a large number of Americans choose to leave, there will definitely be a shortage of labor in Nalu State, and even immigrants from the Great Qing Kingdom or the Xia Empire will not have time to quickly fill the vacancy left by the Americans after leaving.

Some Americans, feeling that Lu treated them like the Xia Empire treated the natives, without any civil rights, resolutely gave up all their possessions and left Lu and returned to the territory of the United States, and then went to Canada, South American countries, or returned to Europe.

Most of the industrial and commercial owners and doctors, teachers and other people who are qualified to hold a green card in Lu choose to stay in Lu country, they are people with a long-term vision, they feel that Lu is a vassal state of the Xia Empire, the king is the emperor of the Xia Empire, and the Xia Empire is a world-class power comparable to the British Empire, it is better to stay here than to go to the United States or return to Europe to start a new business, and most Americans will leave a lot of jobs after leaving, as long as they can make achievements, Lu will not treat themselves badly, At the beginning, the Jew James was canonized as an earl by the Emperor of the Xia Empire because of his excellent work, and became one of the only counts in the Xia Empire.

Lu is not polite to blacks, they do not have a strong motherland to support them, unlike whites, they also need to take into account the face of European countries. Lu only announced an internal order, which was not made public, that is, all blacks were not allowed to leave Lu and must be forced to engage in mining, construction and other dangerous and labor-intensive industries to contribute their strength to the development of Lu State.

Because the various orders taken by Lu Guo against the Americans aroused fierce resistance from the Americans, Zhang Wei's attitude was that those who dared to resist would be killed, so as to achieve the goal of killing chickens and monkeys, and to carry out labor reform in the mining factories of the conformists.

In order to enhance the lethality and deterrence, Zhang Wei ordered Metropolitan Governor Xiao Xuguang to send another 7 brigades of Japanese mercenaries to Lu State, with one brigade in each theater zone, so that these Japanese could specialize in slaughtering Americans who dared to resist.

Since all the assets of the Americans who got the street signs had been confiscated, leaving only some clothes and dry food used on the road, they dragged their families from Lu to the United States in the east.

The mass migration of tens of millions of people, and on foot, with heavy dry food and winter clothing on their backs, many old or infirm people could not bear the hardship of eating and sleeping in the open, and fell forever on the way of migration.

Because they were all on foot and there were many people, the daily walking distance was very short, and the food they carried was quickly exhausted, and with no one to lead, some Americans began to take risks and steal other people's food

In order to protect themselves, some of these Americans have formed different organizations in the form of families, some in villages and towns, or in the form of former workers, etc., not only to protect their own food from being robbed, but also to take the opportunity to snatch other people's limited food, or take advantage of the dark night to steal the crops that are not yet ripe, I believe that after these people arrive in the United States, they will not be disbanded, but continue to exist as gangs, otherwise it will be more difficult for them to survive on the territory of the United States, where the competition is more fierce and the living conditions are worse. You can't survive without gangs.

Some families choose to work part-time in the area they pass by, and then continue to migrate after earning enough food, anyway, their street signs are valid for 3 months, as long as they arrive in the United States within 3 months.

Some of the fierce and ruthless people choose to fall into the grass, they do not dare to rob the Chinese, and they can choose to rob the migrants or choose to stay with the families.

By the end of October, it was already cold, and many of the old, young, and infirm had been eliminated from life, and the remaining young and strong were doubting their ability to make it to the United States; These people hate the U.S. government, and if it weren't for the introduction of the Chinese Exclusion Act, they wouldn't have let them live such a miserable life, but as for the Xia Empire and the Lu State, they didn't dare to hate it.

Zhang Wei considered that there would be conflicts with Mexico and other American countries in the future, and a large number of mercenaries would be needed, and that after the Americans who migrated now had been eliminated, the remaining people would be in very good physical condition, so he informed Feng Guohua, chief of the General Staff, and asked him to select 300,000 excellent Americans among the white people who migrated in the United States, and form 30 brigades of mercenaries, and the treatment would be the same as that of other mercenaries.

Zhang Wei's decision is equivalent to saving 300,000 families, the Americans who are hovering on the edge of life and death after learning that Lu State recruits mercenaries, in order to survive, all actively sign up for the selection of mercenaries, Feng Guohua's requirements are very strict, the selection standards are very high, the competition is very fierce, as long as they can be selected as mercenaries, then their families can stay in Lu State, can get their long-awaited green card, so that the whole family can live a happy life with enough food.

Due to the large number of applicants, and the number of qualified personnel far exceeded the scheduled 300,000, Feng Guohua expanded the conscription quota to 500,000 after obtaining Zhang Wei's approval.

Those who were lucky enough to return to the United States were denied a shower or haircut for months on end, all unkempt, tattered, and emaciated, as if they had returned from hell.

All kinds of tragedies continued to play out along the way, and at least a tenth of the people remained on the land forever, a preliminary estimate of more than 4 million people, and in the secret archives of the Lu and Xia empires, this migration is called a journey of death. (To be continued.) )
