The year 1854 is coming to an end, and 1855 will soon be ushered in, and in the new year, whether in North America or Europe, East Asia, and South Asia, it will be a year of turmoil in the world.

The expeditionary force sent by the Tang Kingdom to Europe totaled 24,500 troops in 4 divisions, and its main force was mainly refugees from the Jiaodong Peninsula, supplemented by some experienced non-commissioned officers and officers.

In the Weihaiwei Concession of the United Kingdom, the Tang Kingdom now has 17 refugee relief points, attracting a large number of fleeing Chinese to arrive here, forming a super large refugee area with a radius of more than 10 square kilometers and gathering hundreds of thousands of Chinese refugees.

After the arrival of cargo ships from the Tang Kingdom in Weihaiwei, thousands of tons of grain and other supplies were unloaded, which became life-saving food for the victims and the main variety traded by the local government and grain merchants.

Ordinary refugees can receive a bowl of porridge every day at the soup kitchen, and these grains are mixed with fine crushed wheat husks and dust pebbles, which are difficult for ordinary people to swallow, and only refugees who want to survive are willing to drink it.

The reason for this is to save food, and secondly, to eliminate those who are cheap and cheap, so that more refugees can live.

In a refugee camp

There are special people responsible for the selection and registration, and the selection of healthy refugees between the ages of 10 and 25, such as those who volunteer to immigrate to the Tang Kingdom, no disease, no chilblains, clear speech, no damage to the limbs, is very likely to pass the selection.

Young men and women aged 10~14 will enter a charity school funded by the royal family after immigrating to North America.

Those with poor grades will enter various factories and enterprises at the age of 16 and repay part of the immigration funds through hard work (depending on the training period, generally within the range of 110 yuan ~ 150 yuan).

Young men and women over the age of 15 can choose designated preferential immigration loans, and the future immigration direction is the central and eastern provinces of the Tang Kingdom, as well as Midway and Pearl Island in the Pacific Ocean, that is, Hawaii, Panama or Alaska and other overseas provinces.

Fixed-point preferential immigration loans are generally three years, and those who do not choose are generally 5 years, and they need to repay the ferry tickets and other corresponding expenses of transoceanic immigrants month by month through work during the repayment period, ranging from about 180~230 yuan per person (different destinations, different expenses).

There is only one Weihaiwei port

The transpacific migrant liner can basically reach 33~36 flights per month, with migrant ships departing every day, transporting migrants ranging from 2.3~25,000 people, with the peak of 27,749 people transported per month, and the annual immigration scale reaches 300,000.

Together with the Longkou port, Yantai port, Huhai port, Mawei port, Zhangzhou port and Foshan port, the number of Chinese immigrants arriving on the North American continent through the transpacific northern migration route has exceeded one million every year, about 1.1 million.

Migrants who boarded ships at the southern port also headed north, transiting through the Weihaiwei port to Midway, arriving in Hawaii at the next stop, and finally landing in Los Angeles in North America.

The ships were replenished with fresh fruits, vegetables, water and food along the way, forming a complete migration route, and after solving the problem of food supply and improving the poor environment, the death rate of immigrants in 1845 had dropped to 0.74%.

Other words

During the long voyage, the number of immigrants who die due to various causes every year is about 8300~8700, which is a miracle in the history of world immigration.

The reason for this

It is the Tang Kingdom that has set up immigration officers at each port, and the immigration officers are responsible for reviewing the physical condition of the immigrants on board, the setting of the shipping space of the immigration ship, the food supply and whether they comply with various regulations, and have a veto power.

For example, if maggots, mildew, or deterioration of food, abuse and aggression by the crew of the migrant ship, foul cabins, poor environment, infection of epidemic diseases or physical weakness of the migrants are found in the migrant ship, the immigration officer has the right to stop the transoceanic transport liner at any time, order rectification and suspension of sailing, impose a high fine on the transoceanic transport company, and order the arrest of the corresponding responsible person and severe punishment.

Plainly

Port immigration officers are the ultimate decision-makers, and the assessment indicator they carry is the mortality rate, and those who can reduce the mortality rate of immigrants are good officials, and vice versa.

It is precisely because of the effective restrictive measures that all shipping companies on the golden trans-North Pacific route have tried their best to improve transportation conditions, formulate hygiene standards and food supply standards for migrants, greatly improve the environment of migrant ships, and reduce the headache mortality rate to an acceptable level.

Migrant camps have been set up at each port, and Chinese refugees who have been identified as immigrants can get two meals a day, one thin meal in the morning, one dry meal in the afternoon, and a small amount of vegetables and meat to nourish the migrants.

Generally speaking

Depending on the physical condition of each person, the period of stay in the camp is one week to one month, and young men and women over the age of 16 stay for a shorter period of time, and can board the ship after recovery.

Most of the boys and girls aged 9, 10 to 13 years old are not only ragged but also skinny, so after changing their clothes, they need a long time to recuperate before they can board the special child migration ship.

The conditions of the children's immigration ships are generally good, and the ships are equipped with doctors and instructors of men and women, who will accompany and care for these children during the long journey, take them to the deck regularly every day to exercise, teach singing, teach activities, and pray three times a day from morning to night, thanking the Tang royal family for their benevolent help.

The standard of in-kind provision is also the highest among the child migrant ships, with each child receiving one apple or radish per day, half a pound of vegetables per day, priority vegetable and food supplies at the ports of Midway and Hawaii, and sometimes a small piece of salted fish at meals.

The Tang Kingdom Royal Family Charity Education Fund rewards children with excellent studies, and outstanding students who can enter high school are exempted from the responsibility of repaying immigration loans, which is equivalent to giving 150 yuan ~ 180 yuan.

Those who excel in their studies will also receive bursaries and other generous rewards, including but not limited to participating in various activities organized by the Cadet Military Academy, summer camps and the Royal Family Foundation, which greatly broaden their horizons and cultivate their abilities, which is a strong part of their resumes.

This part of the expenditure is the bulk of the expenditure of the Royal Family Charity Education Fund, which is fully allocated from the royal family's income every year, and the amount is as high as one million dollars per year.

Take 1854, for example;

The total number of teenagers (including men and women aged 9~13) who immigrated to North America throughout the year reached 137,200, and after entering the literacy class, less than 7% of them were able to enter high school after graduating from three-year primary school, and 4,778 in 1854 (the student base was small in the early years).

The vast majority of young people who do not have the talent to learn will become self-supporting laborers after reaching the age of 15 by entering social engineering enterprises, banks, chambers of commerce, or the military.

After obtaining a fixed income, you will need to repay the bank immigration loan year by year, generally ranging from 3~5 years, and early repayment is allowed.

About 6 to 700 students can enter the university for further study, and the rest can enter the lecture hall for further study or enterprises according to their personal wishes, and gradually cultivate them to become social elites.

Nowadays, this set of training procedures for Chinese immigrants has formed certain rules.

As for those adult Chinese immigrants, after landing in North America, they can obtain household registration, those who should settle in the central and eastern provinces will settle in the central and eastern provinces, those who are willing to stay in the western provinces will stay in the western provinces, and those who belong to the mail-order bride will marry into the family.

The Tang Kingdom is a North American immigration country dominated by Chinese, and the ghosts and elders call it "Tang people", after a large number of Tang immigrants poured in, the whole society showed extremely strong Chinese characteristics.

All kinds of clan associations and associations have sprung up, such as Chaoshan Clansmen's Association, Zhangzhou Clansmen's Association, Jiaodong Clansmen's Association, Jiangsu-Zhejiang Clansmen's Association, as well as Li's Clan, Wu's Clan, Liangguang Zheng's Clan's Association, etc., which are simply countless.

The temples donated by the royal family and the people are dotted with Taoist temples, there are village temples in the village, Taoist temples in the town, and there are family temples and ancestral halls that the Chinese clan is keen to build, which are almost everywhere.

In the strong Chinese social atmosphere, those early Chinese immigrants with bulging pockets, with land and shops, must take into account the righteous name of family inheritance, so marrying a Chinese lady in a main house has become a hardcore demand of society.

Everyone has seen that His Majesty the King's throne has been vacant for many years, and he has not married a famous lady from Huaxia Shenzhou to inherit the unification?

This is the name of justice!

In this era, the plot of the Chinese Celestial Empire was strong, and they all sneered at the surrounding barbarian countries, foreigners called them ghost elders, and Western women called them ghost women, all of which implied a strong sense of contempt.

As the saying goes, if something is good, it will be followed by the bottom.

As a result, the transatlantic immigration business of mail-order brides flourished, and many media agencies appeared, mainly introducing transpacific marriages, and the business became more and more prosperous.

For example, a retired soldier from Zhangzhou, his family has food, a house and a field, and the woman has married several children, but if she wants to inherit the family business, she must also be born by the Chinese lady of the main house.

In that case, you can be considered a successful person, and you will not be pointed at by others when you go out.

For this, it is better to spend a lot of money.

Mail-order brides are worth a lot of money, such as innocent small families from Zhangzhou, who are healthy and good-looking, plus dowry and various expenses, plus ferry tickets, mail-order brides often cost hundreds of thousands of yuan.

If the mail-order bride is more demanding, from a small and medium-sized landlord or a scholarly woman, then it is not surprising that the cost is doubled, often two or three thousand yuan.

If the mail-order bride you are asking for comes from a large family, not only the conditions are good, but also there are dowry maids, then it is normal to spend tens of thousands.

Different from the migrant ships taken by refugees, these self-financed immigrants are on transoceanic cruise ships with better conditions, and the tickets are worth a lot of money, a first-class ticket is 1,600 yuan, and they can't grab it.

The cruise ship does not have the foul-smelling large warehouse of the cargo ship, the lowest level of the 4th class can carry 24 people, everyone has a bed, although it is difficult to turn around, but such a ticket starts at 220 yuan.

The third-class cabin is generally 8~10 people, and the ferry ticket starts from 400.

Mail-order brides have to travel in at least third class, and a few women live in one cabin, instead of being crowded with men and women in fourth class, what has become of that?

In order to participate in the Crimean War in Europe, the Tang Kingdom's military strength mainly came from immigrants.

In the immigration camps at the ports, immigrants who are willing to join the army can be under the age of 38 for adult men, who are physically strong, obedient, and free from limb disability and disease.

This gives refugees over the age of 25 a rare opportunity to emigrate, and refugees who volunteer to join the military are exempt from paying immigration fees and are exempt from the obligation to repay immigration loans, all paid by the military.

Besides

Immigrants who volunteered to join the army were allowed to enjoy three meals a day, and from the moment they entered the immigration camp, they began strict military training, and they could see more or less meat every day and be able to eat a full stomach.

Under such conditions, many young male immigrants are vying to sign up first, isn't it just a war, and now that the war is raging in most of China, it is no longer a terrible thing to die in battle.

Bo Yibo, maybe he can get ahead?

In the immigration camp in Shenzhou, there are many retired soldiers who serve as government-appointed immigration officers and staff, and many legends of immigrants from the early Tang Kingdom who got ahead are vividly spread in the immigration camp, arousing the dreams in the hearts of many people.

The military aristocrats, like themselves, seven or eight years ago, were just members of the refugee camps.

If others can do it, why can't I do it myself?

The power of example is endless, and it is precisely because of the early immigrants that the number of people who signed up for the army is extremely high, and the number of people counted at the ports has exceeded 45,000.

After the British learned of this situation, they immediately contacted the Tang Kingdom, and decided to send 4 divisions in the Tang Kingdom, totaling 24,000 people, and all the others were funded by the British to form mercenaries, which were entrusted to the training and command of the officers of the Tang Kingdom, and were continuously sent to the European front.

For this reason, the British paid three sums of 2.7 million pounds (equivalent to 13.5 million yuan) and booked 30,000 mercenaries in advance.

The part of the expenses that is insufficient will be allocated by the British Colonial Office, and all the necessary supplies of weapons, equipment and materials will be borne by the British side.

The only requirement was that the army must be sent to the European theater as soon as possible, by April 1, 1855.

This means:

By April 1, 1855, the coalition forces on the Crimean front would be reinforced by no less than 55,000 men, and this was only the Tang Kingdom.

The British also successively transferred troops from India, Sri Lanka, Burma, Australia, and Canada, preparing to fight the old Tsarist Russia on the Crimean Peninsula to the end, and under no circumstances would they allow the Tsarist forces to break through the Black Sea and the Balkan Peninsula, thus affecting the balance of power in the whole of Europe.

From this we can see how persistent and willing the British are to maintain their position as arbiters of continental Europe, which is at the heart of Britain's foreign policy, and it is not hesitant to spend any price.
