Southern Yinzhou, the capital of the Portuguese and Brazilian colonies, Rio, entered a state of martial law on these two days.
The Third Fleet of the New Tianfu of the Ming Emperor's Village, carrying the three guards of the main army of the New Tianfu Emperor's Village, handed over the defense to the Portuguese in Rio City.
The commander-in-chief of the entire operation, the Duke of Jinyang of the Ming Dynasty, the fifth grandson of Li Dingguo, the general of the Ming Army, and the Governor of Brazil took over military affairs, Li Yuquan.
In the hall of the Brazilian Governor's Palace in Rio, the top brass of the Brazilian colony, led by the Portuguese Prince João, gathered.
Surrounded by a group of guards, Li Yuquan officially announced that it was also an emphasis to the former high-level officials of the Portuguese colony that the requirements in the handover of the colony were:
"According to the peace treaty signed by the Ming Dynasty with Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, France and other Taixi countries.
"The ownership of the entire South Yinzhou region, including the Brazilian region, belongs entirely to the Ming Dynasty.
"All the Taixi immigrants and their descendants in Yinzhou can leave on their own with personal belongings such as gold, silver, fine, and soft.
"But all ancient relics must be left behind, whether they belong to once public facilities or private belongings.
"No one shall destroy any public property, any private property that cannot be carried, or any relics of ancient people.
"The Taixi countries have five years to transport their migrants out of the land of Daming, during which time the migrants must pay a living fee.
"Daming Xintianfu Huangzhuang Transportation Company can provide passenger transportation services for all personnel, but tickets must be purchased in advance.
"The officials in charge at all levels in the former Brazil region must temporarily stay to cooperate with the reception of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty will pay reasonable labor remuneration.
"After receiving it, Daming will send them to where they want to go for free, Mozhou, Taixi, and Mexico.
"Guys, do you hear the rules clearly? If you have any doubts, you can say them now, don't look back and question them again. ”
Immediately began to talk about it.
These new regulations of the Ming Dynasty directly and completely subverted the original local order.
In the original Tessie colonies, the highest status was of course the Tessie immigrants, and then the descendants of the Tai-Yin mixture.
Then there were the Yin people who could speak Taixi, then the Yin natives who could not speak Taixi, and finally the Mo slaves.
After the Ming Dynasty came, the Ming people who had the local citizenship of the Ming Dynasty were of course the highest status.
However, the Yin people, who can be "civilized and civilized", are theoretically equal to the Ming people, and they are all citizens with complete rights.
In fact, this is aimed at the Yin elites who were completely assimilated by the Ming Dynasty within the original New Tianfu, as well as the mixed-race descendants of the Ming and Yin people.
The merchant state built by the Ming Dynasty in the Brazilian plateau was, in a sense, intended for this part of the people.
From now on, they were all the true subjects of the vassal state.
Of course, now that the Ming Dynasty is implementing the reform of the vassal state, all the pure-blooded descendants of the Ming Dynasty will successively become Ming citizens.
Native citizens of the Ming Dynasty had the civil rights of all the Ming feudal states.
Therefore, no matter which vassal country the Ming people go to, they want to have the same rights as the local subject residents, as well as the priority rights that actually exist.
The ordinary people of the Shang State themselves were those ordinary Yin people who had no mixed race and no culture, and they were the main body of the indigenous people of Yinzhou.
They can be promoted to the status of commercial citizens through "civilization and enlightenment", that is, in fact, complete enlightenment.
They are potential subject citizens of the merchant state, and they all have national status second only to citizens.
The Tessie immigrants and the mixed descendants of the Thai-Yin were considered outsiders and could not be integrated into the Shang state through "civilization and enlightenment".
They only have the right of abode and can only work as workers and farmers, or engage in low-end service industries, and cannot be any bosses and farmers.
In this way, the identity of the Taixi people and their mixed-race descendants, as well as the local ordinary Yin people, was completely reversed before and after the Ming Dynasty took over.
The identity of the Moren has not changed by then, but the management has become stricter.
For the Tessie immigration executives at the scene, the change in the status of these people has little to do with them, and they are definitely leaving.
Their focus is in the other direction.
The Portuguese and Brazilian aristocrats at the scene discussed for a while, and Prince João came out as a representative to ask for details:
"General Li, according to the agreement between the Portuguese Ming Dynasty, we have the right to take away all the Taixi immigrants and Mo slaves, and the Ming cannot force them to stay......"
Li Yuquan waved his hand directly and said very impatiently:
"We will not force them to stay, our Royal Highness the Prince of Great Food means to let you all take it away, and not one of them will be kept.
"It's just that we consider the actual situation, you don't have the ability to take them all away, and there will definitely be some left in the end.
"Especially those self-reliant grass kings in the inland, Da Ming also let you take them away, can you take them away?
So Daming just formulated the rules in advance to avoid being caught off guard later.
"The Ming have no interest in your Xiyi population and slaves."
Li Yuquan's face was full of disgust, but Joao and the Brazilian nobles were relieved.
In this era, population is a very important asset, otherwise why would Tianzhu become the jewel in the British crown......
The Ming did not care about the population of Brazil, and allowing the Portuguese to take them was also an important reason for Portugal to accept the treaty.
Zhu Jingyuan participated in the discussion on the disposal of Yinzhou immigrants, and the final decision was basically what Zhu Jingyuan meant.
Zhu Jingyuan's original idea, of course, was to drive all the Taixi people back to their hometown.
But Zhu Jingyuan soon realized that it was simply unrealistic to directly achieve this goal in the short term.
The Spanish and Portuguese colonies in Southern Yinzhou, the number of Tessie immigrants and their descendants who speak the two Chinese languages, plus the mixed descendants of the Tessians and Yins, is estimated at 30 million.
There was still a considerable part of it that was in a state of secession, beyond the control of the colonial governors of Portugal and Spain.
There has to be a box to put these Tessians up for the time being.
In addition, the Ming Dynasty wanted to establish a vassal state to manage the Yin people, so it happened that these Taixi people were put under the management of these Yin people.
But they were granted temporary residency, the lowest status among freemen, and their status was only higher than that of slaves.
The aim was to force them to return to their homeland, rather than to stay in the merchant state forever.
As for the descendants of Mozhou, most of them were originally slaves of the Tessie people, and the slaves belonged to private property, and of course the Tessies were allowed to take them away.
If they really can't take it away, the Ming can only deal with it according to the rules left by Emperor Shizu, and continue to use it as slave labor for the time being.
When Daming has free capacity, he will send them back to their hometown in Mozhou.
According to the principle of "one drop of ink" set by Emperor Shizu, as long as the ancestors have mixed the blood of the ink people once, the descendants will be considered ink people for generations.
At the same time, except for the sub-Saharan Mexican domain, all the feudal states in the Ming Dynasty and other regions are not allowed to grant the right of abode or above to the Mexicans.
In other words, the Mo people who appeared outside of Mozhou would be regarded as slaves by the Ming people.
Zhu Jingyuan intended to abolish slavery, but he did not intend to change the rules left by Emperor Shizu.
Even if Emperor Shizu specially left an excuse for revision, it would be absolutely thankless to actually change the ancestral system.
Zhu Jingyuan's plan is to bypass the restrictions of the ancestral system,
The Americans, who studied history, sent the Moji slaves from Yinzhou and other regions back to their homeland one after another.
At the same time, it was forbidden to sell Moji slaves outside of Mozhou.
Slaves of other Hu people, Yin people, Nanyang, Persian, and Great Food Tribes can also adopt a similar scheme.
Finally, a complete ban on all slave trade was gradually and allowed.
In this way, while slavery may continue to exist, slaves themselves can gradually disappear.
For example, the US state of Mississippi did not actually ratify the 13th Amendment to the Constitution to abolish slavery until 2013.
But before this document came into force legally, the local slaves themselves did not exist long ago.
The Portuguese and Brazilian nobles, led by Prince João, continued to confirm the details with the officers of the Ming Dynasty.
Most of the content was determined at the time of negotiation, and it was all acceptable to both parties, so there were no surprises in between.
Prince John signed the official handover document and began to send the people of Tessie to the ship that afternoon.
Because of years of war and bandits, a large number of Tessie and Yin refugees have gathered in and around Rio.
This was just what made it easier for the Portuguese aristocracy to take more of the population with them.
More than 200 years ago, they came from the mainland of the Ctesi countries to become Portuguese-speaking Brazilians, and now they are leaving in droves again.
The main direction was the Portuguese colony in Mexican.
Portugal wanted to use them as the main force in the colonial development of Mozhou.
The population of Brazil as a whole is almost double that of the entire population of Portugal proper.
Now as long as you can take half of it, you can build a new Portugal in Mezhou.
A small number of Portuguese nobles may choose to return to Portugal itself.
Some people who don't want to stay in Portugal can buy their own tickets to go to Mexico in Northern Yinzhou, or to the British and French colonies.
Some of the nobles and officials left with ordinary immigrants, and some stayed to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty for a comprehensive handover.
The fleets of the New Tianfu Huangzhuang and the Royal Passenger Transport Company are transporting personnel and troops to the Rio region one by one.
The main force of the Ming Dynasty in the new Tianfu was responsible for taking over Rio, the capital of Brazil, as well as the richest coastal areas in the surrounding area.
A large number of Yin servant troops, under the management of Ming officers and under the guidance of Brazilian officials and interpreters, went deep into the interior of Brazil in batches.
Receiving local institutions and military facilities that are still under the control of the Viceroyalty of Brazil, and sending the edict of the new Tianfu to the separatist forces in various places.
At the same time, more Ming navies and fleets, carrying more Ming and Yin armies, continued northward along the east and west coastlines of Yinzhou.
They were to take over the Spanish colonies, including the two viceroyalies of Peru and New Granada, as well as the Antilles and Texas.
There was also the area of Guyana ceded by the Dutch, the area of Florida ceded by the British, and the area of Canada north of the Great Lakes ceded by the French.
The treatment and conditions of all the people living in the Ctesi colony were exactly the same as those of the Portuguese and Brazilians in Brazil.
The choice of the Dutch was similar to that of the Portuguese, and they were ready to send immigrants to the colony of Mexican.
The Spanish, British, and French interrupted the choice to go to the neighboring remaining colonies of Yinzhou.
On the other side, at the northern and southern ends of the steppe of North Yinzhou, the troops of the Yinzhou vassal states and the Ming Army in Rocky Mountain were also moving.
At the northern and southern ends of the prairie, a large force left the camp.
Follow the route left by the bison migration, the smugglers' carts, and the former Tessie coalition army, and head east.
The missions of the North and South Route Armies were to take over the northwest of the Great Lakes and the northwest of Texas, respectively.
The two large armies were again divided into two parts, followed by the main force of mules and horses, carts, and ordinary infantry.
In front was the vanguard of the bicycle divisions of each guard, with more than 10,000 bicycles in the north and south.
From a modern point of view, riding a tall, vintage bicycle may seem unfashionable, or cheap.
But in this era, bicycles are quite high-end industrial products, and they are also very practical dual-use tools.
On a modern standard bicycle, there are at least three industrial bearings, as well as chains and springs with a high level of craftsmanship.
With the industrial ability to process these things, it will be able to make modern firearms.
Nowadays, bicycle troops are also known as cavalry or riders.
Compared with the traditional shock cavalry, the bicycle cavalry certainly has no impact power.
But in the era of bolt-action rifles and machine guns, shock cavalry was already obsolete.
The logistical requirements of the bicycle troops are much lower than those of the cavalry, after all, people are the animals with the best stamina, and the energy conversion rate is also very high.
The bikers of this era were able to march 80 kilometers a day without roads, and they were able to march long distances for many days.
On long marches, cavalry is no match for traditional infantry, let alone bicycle soldiers.
Cyclists were very common in World War I and played a large role in World War II.
Only after the spread of mechanization on a larger scale was it gradually withdrawn from the troops.
Now the Daming bicycle troops in North Yinzhou are all elite troops.
They marched on the steppes of North Yinzhou, and they didn't even need to bring food, just simple utensils and weapons.
Because there is a gift of nature here - Yinzhou bison.
There are 20 million or 30 million bison in the entire prairie, and an adult bison weighs thousands of catties, and killing one is enough for two or three hundred people to eat.
They often act in groups, and in the face of modern infantry units with bolt-action rifles, there is simply no resistance.
The vanguard of the North Yinzhou Army rode bicycles and ate bison meat all the way to the east.
Eight days later, the Northern forces crossed the upper reaches of the Honey River and entered the territory of the French colonies, and the Southern forces entered the Texas area.
Twelve days later, the northern forces arrived at the westernmost port of the Great Lakes.
This speed is already fast for the Army.
But at this time, the navy from Xintianfu had already crossed a distance of thousands of kilometers, took over the Guiana region, and began to enter the Antilles.
Fifteen days later, the main forces of the Northern Yinzhou Army began to enter the Great Lakes region.
The Navy has traveled tens of thousands of kilometers to land in New Orleans and Quebec, Florida and Cuba have been taken.
