As of the end of June 1895, according to the statistics of the immigration department, among the 33 million people in the Ocean Kingdom, the total population of Australia has increased from 15.14 million at the end of 1893 to 18.66 million.

Among them, most of the spontaneous immigrants are destined for the Australian mainland, and the same is true for most of the destinations of family migrants, coupled with the explosion of the local new population, which has soared by 3.5 million residents in a year and a half.

Of course, this situation is not replicable.

Since July, the number of migrants from the Beijing-Tianjin region has dropped dramatically, to only three to four thousand people per month, which is enough to fill two medium-sized migrant boats.

At the beginning of August, there was no one left, and if you wanted to emigrate to the British Concession on the Jiaodong Peninsula at least to take a boat to the sea, there would definitely be no drama in Jinmen.

On the one hand, this is because Gu Zhixue, the governor of Beizhili, returned to Beijing to report on his work and lived idlely, and the imperial court planned to have another appointment, so he could not return to Jinmen to control the power in a short time, which means that he was left aside and cooled.

At the end of July, the 20,000 elite members of the New Army who went north to Tianjin during the crisis, under the leadership of Duan Qirui, the general soldier of Guangdong, boarded a ship and returned to Liangguang, and were not allowed to enter Beijing and Tianjin without being summoned.

It's really good that the scar forgets the pain, the bird hides the bow, and the rabbit dies and the dog cooks!

As for the credit of King Qin, cough cough...... Let's not talk about it.

At the critical time when facing the pressure of the Japanese army, the 20,000 elite of the new army went north to King Qinwang of Jinmen, but not only did they not get half the credit and good face, but they did not even supply food.

If it weren't for the food, grass and ammunition they brought, I'm afraid most of them would have been scattered long ago. In addition, the New Army was vigorously squeezed out by the local Beiyang Army leaders, attacked by officials who cleared rumors, and had a large basket of impeachment proceedings on various charges, and life was quite difficult.

The impeachment of Governor Gu Zhixue is a big basket, the chief military officer Duan Qirui is a big basket, and even the Beiyang Prime Minister Li Hongzhang is piled up like a hill, all of which are impeachment chapters.

As soon as the crisis of the fall of the court eased slightly, the internal strife and political strife became fierce again.

Okay, this dying dynasty can't be talked about, it's all gloomy negative emotions, and there is no hope in sight.

Back to the point

It is estimated that by the end of this year, the number of native residents in Australia may exceed the 20 million mark, of which more than 1.1 million are white (about 600,000 in the two southern states, about 400,000 in Queensland, plus tens of thousands of white descendants in South Australia and Western Australia), accounting for about 5.2% of the total population.

The East Indies and the indigenous population are less than 50,000, accounting for only 4 per 1,000 of the population, and the rest are all Chinese residents, and the proportion of the population is increasing rapidly.

And in the foreseeable next decade, the number of white people is likely to grow only slightly, and the proportion of the population is significantly weaker.

The main reason for this situation is the passport, commonly known as the "black book".

Before the founding of the country

Queensland has implemented the identity paper system for a long time, because the name is not right, so it was not called "passport" at that time, it was called "identity paper".

"Identity paper" does not have a photo, just a simple identity certificate for every naturalized citizen, but it has an extremely important role, whether it is by boat, train, hotel, property purchase, bank account, marriage registration, civil servant examination, military service, tax payment all need "identity paper", without it can be said that it is difficult to move an inch.

It is precisely because of the strict implementation of the "identity paper" system, so Australia's annual demographic statistics are very accurate, to the immigration department to check the number, if you feel that the number is unreliable, then to the shipping department to check, the bank to review, basically all the water can be squeezed dry.

It is with the foreshadowing of the previous ten years that the official implementation of the passport system after the founding of the country was extremely smooth, and all citizens had to do was to replace their ID cards with more formal "black books", which were official documents with photographs, steel seals, and royal coats of arms.

Each state has an independent code, and each city and town also has an independent code, and experienced police officers can see at a glance that you know where you are from just by the ID number.

For Chinese immigrants who have officially received "passports", the examination of officials of the Ministry of the Interior is quite lenient, and the nationality column is registered with the Tang nationality, commonly known as the "Tang people", and the vast majority of the Ocean Kingdom belongs to the Tang nationality, which is another name for the Chinese.

Regardless of the Chinese immigrants in any province on the mainland, their previous identities do not work, and they are all registered as Tang nationality.

If you say, "No, which nationality am I?" All right; Next.

The Home Office officer will then put a black cross on your application and you will not be allowed to apply for a "passport" again for 5 years.

This means that you can't get married, pay taxes legally, take a boat or train, buy a house, live in a hotel, do almost anything, or even leave Australia for 5 years, because you can't buy a ferry ticket.

If you don't explain, you are not allowed to fight, you are not allowed to make trouble, and you dare to force yourself blindly and force you to take it down and whip it directly, and it will take effect on the spot.

Whip a whip according to the regulations, this whip basically trembles when you walk, the key is that there is black material in the file, which is the biggest trouble.

In the case of no objection, the Chinese immigrants applied for passports smoothly, basically as long as there is a certificate from a local employer or a certificate of kinship, 10 can be passed.

However, this proof is not casual, if this person has a criminal record, conceals and does not report, has illegal acts, and has cheated and abducted and committed adultery, once it is exposed in the future, he will have to eat melons and bear joint and several liability, and if he does not do so, the property losses will be light, and it is also possible that he will be ruined.

This is through a private restraint system to screen the population that applies for passports.

There are many East Indies concubines purchased by wealthy families, and Arab concubines also obtained Tang passports through this method, as long as they can speak a few simple words of Chinese and have the main family as a guarantee, the officials of the Ministry of the Interior turn a blind eye to this.

The peak has long been regulated; There is no class in teaching, and there are also good people who are good.

It means that you can understand it yourself, anyway, as long as you have the will to join the Tang clan, open the door and welcome you.

So you can often see blonde women, Arab women with headscarves, shy Borneo women, and Indian Ahsan with their heads wrapped in stiff men's words; "Goose sparse Tang Lian."

Okay, with a stroke of the pen, it's over.

Go pay the fee and take pictures, and after ten days, you will get the documents with the documents, and you will be Tang Lian in the future.

In the intermarriage between Chinese and white people, as long as you have a quarter of the Chinese blood, you can apply for a Tang passport, and in the future, it will be a smooth road to study and work in the Ocean Kingdom, and you will not be subject to any difficulties.

Therefore, in the registration of newborns, the vast majority are of the Tang nationality, and only the children of pure white intermarriage will be registered as "interracial ~ Irish", "interracial ~ American", "interracial ~ German", "interracial ~ French......

This part is still the citizens of the Ocean Kingdom, but it has been labeled as a foreign race since birth, and if you want to get ahead, you must work harder, at least fluent Mandarin Zhengyin is indispensable.

Otherwise, let alone looking for a job, it will be difficult to even live.

Most of the middle- and lower-class Chinese immigrants are illiterate, and those who can understand English, French, and Russian can't really buy vegetables in the vegetable market.

Citizens who have not officially naturalized in the country are given a "white book", which is called a "temporary residence permit", not a passport, and only has a limited function of proving identity, in case the royal police can inspect it at any time.

What about foreigners who have no intention of naturalization?

Of course, there is no problem for European and American countries to have official passports, such as Britain, France, Germany and the United States, most of the citizens of powerful countries have passports, but the Kingdom of Italy, Austria-Hungary, Sweden, Spain, these countries do not have either, and the Irish do not have either, let alone citizens of South American countries.

The Qing Dynasty also does not have a passport, and only official diplomats in Fusang have passports, and millions of Nanyang sisters and Fusang ronins (not all of them are in Australia) have nothing, and the poor are all fine, so there is really nothing to have, and there is a fate.

For these foreign arrivals who do not have passports, the Ocean Kingdom issues a "temporary paper", which is only used to prove their identity, nationality, and to purchase ferry tickets and train tickets, they need to go through the registration and application of the relevant departments, and only after permission can they travel, and the stay is limited.

It is very difficult, almost impossible, for these people to apply for a foreign passport.

Because the officials of the Ministry of the Interior will take it very seriously, and require a lot of documents such as the certificate of permission to leave the country in question, the invitation letter of domestic enterprises, schools and non-governmental organizations, the ferry ticket, the reason for the naturalization application, the certificate of no less than 5 guarantors, the certificate of no criminal record, the certificate of student status, and so on.

The inquisitor will ask many questions in detail, such as why you are interested in naturalizing the Kingdom of the Great Ocean, what religion do you follow, whether your beliefs are pious, whether you like to watch opera, what are your plans for the future, whether you are willing to swear allegiance to the king, and whether you are willing to break with everything in the past?

After a long day, the low pass rate makes people desperate, and there is a feeling of playing tricks.

It is easy for people from the Great Qing Dynasty to join the Tang Clan, and many people have to apply for "alien race ~ Manchu Qing".

Okay, since you don't want to be naturalized, then don't naturalize, wait until you work hard to earn back the ticket money, buy a ticket and go back to my Daqing, no one will stop you.

Although there are passports in the column of "Interracial ~ Manchu Qing", no more than 50 have been issued so far.

In the Ocean Kingdom, this kind of person has no room for survival, and a "temporary paper" is stuck in all possibilities, which is also applicable to Fusang nationals, and a mouthful of Fusang dialect blocks the possibility of naturalization.

There are also passports for the column "Interracial ~ Fusang", but so far they can be counted with their fingers outstretched, and it is not too much to say that it is a little bit of a hundred thousand miles.

There are a lot of prostitutes opened by Nanyang sisters and Fusang people in Australia and overseas states, the specific number of people has not been counted, but there are more than 200,000 people in simple calculations, this part of the population has no official identity, can only be limited to one place for a long time, and has no right to buy land and property, so it can only engage in the lowly Qinglou prostitute industry.

No one knows why, but that's the unspoken rule.

Their income is handed over to Fuso diplomats with status, and they are remitted overseas through official accounts opened by Huitong Bank or Shangri-La Bank, which is a major source of income for the Fuso government.

The fate of these Nanyang sisters is the most tragic, when they are in their prime, they laugh at the door, and when they are old or sick, no one cares, and they have no money, so they can only die alone in illness, and the mat is thrown into the field to dig a pit and bury it.

This is by no means apocryphal, but a portrayal of the true fate of Sister Nanyang, and the reality is far more cruel than the literary imagination.
