After reading this report of the great victory of Ascensson, Richard took out the pen and read a line at the end of the recital;

Submit to the Cabinet for resolution.

In a war dominated by mercenaries, it is relatively simple to cash out rewards, and there is no post-war pension and resettlement matters, and mercenaries can be directly cashed in rewards.

Killing an Indian or a black soldier will give you 50 won, and killing a white soldier will give you 200 won, and the officer and cavalry will double the reward.

If you don't want a cash reward, you can also exchange it for Chenggong Xuntian, but the specific exchange is not much.

According to the approximate exchange rate of 50 yuan for one acre of meritorious field, it cannot be exchanged for a few acres.

In South America, the average Chinese pioneer pasture often has hundreds or thousands of acres, and it is useless to ask for this meritorious field.

Mercenaries generally choose to take cash, which is the easiest way to do so.

The South American War entered its third phase, which was manifested in:

With no hope of victory, Argentina and Paraguay admitted defeat and withdrew from the war, taking the initiative to negotiate an armistice treaty with the victorious side led by the Tang Empire, and the alliance of the three countries collapsed.

As a temporary leader, the Tang Empire's entry into the South American War completely turned the tide of the war, but its ally Paraguay was weak and weak, and after the tragic death of President Nopes, it was unable to continue to follow in the footsteps of the Tang Empire to continue the war.

So the third stage of the South American war is manifested in:

The Brazilian Empire singled out the Andean Viceroyalty of the Tang Empire, and whoever won the final victory would gain the recognized hegemony of the South American continent.

When Emperor Richard was reviewing the report, he only briefly looked at the number of about 14,200 casualties in the entire Battle of Yasençon, and did not pay much attention to it.

His attention is in the next piece.

This was a report from the Colonial Ministry of Colony entitled "A Concrete Plan for the Northward Expansion of the Territory of the Andean Viceroyalty", and it was also the main point of the post-war negotiations.

In specific scenarios;

In addition to expanding northward, annexing the two northern provinces of Colombia del Estero and Santa Fe, which originally belonged to Argentina in the north, it also included the provinces of Jujuy and Salta, which bordered Bolivia in the northwest, and the provinces of Catamarca and Tucumán, which bordered Chile in the west.

Since then

The Andean Viceroyalty is bordered by Chile to the west, Bolivia to the northwest, Paraguay to the north, Uruguay to the northeast, and Argentina to the east.

This post-war border demarcation plan is mainly to cut off the neighboring territories that originally belonged to the Argentine inter-provincial forces, and to achieve the strategic goal of focusing on suppressing and suppressing Argentina.

In addition to the above-mentioned border demarcation scheme, Argentina still needs to cede to Paraguay two provinces, Costente and Hansada, with a total area of about 166,000 square kilometres, as war reparations.

After it is actually implemented

Paraguay's territory will grow by two-fifths, and although the total area of the territory is slightly inferior to that of Argentina, it is not inferior in fertility by half a point.

The point is;

Paraguay will be given a direct border with Uruguay and will no longer have to pass through Argentine or Brazilian soil, a big step forward in getting out of the landlock.

As for Uruguay, another defeated country, because of its small size and weakness, there is no territory to divide, so the territory remains the status quo.

But its customs and military are completely controlled by the Andean Viceroyalty, and in the future it will also have a large number of Chinese people in the future, thus completely changing the demographic structure of this small South American country.

As a small country in South America, Uruguay naturally has a way of survival as a weak country.

Following the example of Fuso, Uruguay sent official envoys of the Republic to the imperial capital of Chang'an, with the aim of concluding a long-term military alliance treaty with the Tang Empire.

In essence, it was dominated by the Tang Empire and became one of its vassal states.

By doing so, the tragic scenario of the loss and dismemberment of the territory could be avoided.

Emperor Richard was quite satisfied with the post-war demarcation plan presented by the Colonial Office, which was basically carried out according to his intentions.

Therefore, Richard picked up the pen and wrote a big word "quasi" in the newspaper, and the matter was finally decided.

Argentina, a defeated country, had little bargaining power over the territorial issue, and could only be castrated by the strong.

Poor Argentina looked ahead and was strongly obstructed by the inter-provincial forces in the border negotiations with the Tang Empire, and the boundary survey negotiations lasted for five or six years without any results.

In the end, the Andean Viceroyalty invaded the north, not only did not return an inch of the previous territory, but also recently lost the land of the six provinces led by Santa Fe Province and was forced to cede it to the Tang Empire.

At the same time, the two border provinces of Coslient and Hansada, which were ceded to Paraguay as compensation for the defeat, were almost completely wiped out in the 13 provinces.

Ten provinces were swallowed up by the Tang Empire, two provinces were ceded to Paraguay, and only one province of Paraná was annexed to the province of Buenos Aires to form a shrunken version of the Argentine Republic.

It's so hard that the first game is empty, who is to blame?

Putting down the pen in his hand, Richard stood up from behind the imperial case.

Thaksin paced to the window, looking at the sparkling and beautiful night of the Taiye Pool under the hazy moonlight, and his deep eyes were terrifyingly bright.

Under his control, the Tang Empire drove on the right course.

In the sixties of the 19th century, the world powers were setting off a new wave of partitioning colonies, and no one was willing to be left behind.

Britain continued to expand in Egypt, incorporating it into its own colonial map and intensified its penetration in Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Iran in the Near East.

After the British colonists ended the Opium War of the second invasion of the Shenzhou continent, they were planning a new colonial war.

Britain's new goal in South Asia was to consolidate and expand the Straits Settlements, and preparations were being made for the Second Anglo-Burmese War and the Second Anglo-Afghan Invasion.

to expand the margin of safety on the east and west sides of the Indian colonies and consolidate the status of the crown jewel of the British Empire.

After its defeat in the Indian subcontinent, France has now re-landed in Indochina and is sending an expeditionary force to conquer the lower Mekong region by force and carry out colonial expansion back into Southeast Asia.

In the next step, the French colonists would eliminate the Kingdom of Cambodia and Laos, and planned to further expand into the northern part of the Kingdom of Vietnam, bringing the entire Indochina Peninsula into the French colony.

meanwhile

France also continued to expand in Monaco, Libya, and central and southern Africa, seeking to conquer the Black African region, including the Ivory Coast, and provide the French Empire with cheap raw material supply markets.

Tsarist Russia took advantage of the opportunity of the Second Opium War to loot and cut 1.7 million square kilometers of land from the Qing Empire through several unequal treaties, which were warm regions with lower latitudes than Tsarist Russia, which were enough for the greedy Tsarist old Maozi to digest for decades.

The Tang Empire, which continued to expand, was not idle, and after successively eating the three Central American countries and the Yukon in the north, the expansion in South America cut off a large piece of meat from Argentina and expanded the six northern provinces.

By the way

Helping Paraguay also expand two-fifths of its territory, taking the two border provinces of Cosliente and Hansada, making Paraguay bordering Uruguay.

Follow the eldest brother to eat candy, this is a real benefit!

The Tang Empire spared no effort to help Paraguay, and it had its own far-reaching plans......

In the future, Paraguay will become the vanguard of stirring up trouble in South America, helping the Tang Empire to control the situation in South America and counterbalance the countries of South America.

Judging by the current situation

This year and next, 350,000 to 380,000 young Chinese men will immigrate to Paraguay, and Paraguay will grow into a social structure dominated by Chinese in the future, and the population with Chinese blood will account for more than 90 percent, which is the white glove of the empire.

However, the Tang Empire's assistance to Paraguay was limited, and it was first necessary to limit Paraguay to the status of a landlocked country, and it must not have access to the sea, nor could it fuel its expansionist ambitions.

The title of "Prussia of South America" is not a joke, Paraguay is really a thorn in the side in South America, and none of its neighbors have good relations, and all of them have fought wars or had border disputes in the past 30 years, causing unease in their neighbors.

It was necessary to keep this thorn firmly in his hands and serve the Empire's South American strategy.

Paraguay must be confined to the scope of a landlocked country, and the economic lifeline of Paraguay must be pinched in the hands of the Tang Empire, so that if it wants to prosper, it will prosper, and if it declines, it will decay, so that it cannot escape the palm of the Buddha.

The Tang Empire's acceptance of Uruguay as the first vassal state in South America was also motivated by the same considerations, and was an important part of the South American strategy.

After the establishment of the master-slave status of the two countries, the Chinese capital and immigrants of the Tang Empire will continue to pour into this small South American country, profoundly changing its demographic structure, and the Chinese population will account for more than 7% of the entire Uruguayan population in the future, and Chinese schools will also bloom everywhere.

The Uruguayan government had to be pro-Tang, and outstanding students would receive higher education from the Tang Empire and return to the government to hold important positions, thus forming a stable and dominant pro-Tang faction.

That's the only way

The Tang Empire can make Uruguay close its seaport with a single glance, completely cut off Paraguay's foreign trade routes, and let it have the ability to reach the sky, and finally have to obediently obey.

As for Argentina, the original South American power, only two provinces have been weakened, and the total territory has shrunk from 2,786,000 square kilometers in history to 382,000 square kilometers today (304,000 square kilometers in the province of Buenos Aires and 78,000 square kilometers in the province of Paraná), a full 2,404,000 square kilometers.

The expanded Governor's Palace of Anlis, with a total area of 2,815,000 square kilometers, was seized from Argentina and cut off a large piece of meat from Chile, about 411,000 square kilometers.

According to the provisions of the border treaty between the Tang Empire and Chile;

Historically, Chile has a slender territory of 5,600 kilometers along the Pacific coast, but now only 2,351 kilometers are left, and the 3,250-kilometer-long Andean region on the Pacific coast to the south of the Biobío region belonged to the Tang Empire, including the southernmost island of Tierra del Fuego.

Chile's territory has shrunk from 756,700 square kilometers in history to 345,000 square kilometers today, a full 411,000 square kilometers.

After five years of desert expeditions in South America, the jurisdiction of the Viceroyalty of Andes was officially established at 2,815,000 square kilometers after the signing of post-war treaties with Argentina and Paraguay, with the southernmost territory reaching Storm City in the province of Tierra del Fuego, and the northernmost border bordering Paraguay.

The empire lasts for a long time

From 10.82 million square kilometers after the North American War in 1861 to 12.55 million square kilometers in 1866 (including 486,000 square kilometers in the Yukon, 945,000 square kilometers in British Columbia, and about 263,800 square kilometers in the Central Plains).

By August 1867, it was officially included in the Andean Viceroyalty, and the empire's territory increased by 2,815,000 square kilometers to 15,365,000 square kilometers.

This growth rate is very astonishing, and it has surpassed the Qing Empire and the French Empire by 12.898 million square kilometers, only after Britain and Russia, ranking the third largest empire in the world.

Fortunately, the main direction of the expansion of the Tang Empire was South America, which did not touch the strongest fundamental interests of other worlds, and everyone was able to live in peace for the time being.

Richard's fingers gently tapped the window lattice, making a very rhythmic sound, which represented the extremely proud mood in his heart, the expansion of the Tang Empire was smooth sailing, it was simply wonderful!

What you eat must be digestible, in Richard's plan;

The next step is to strengthen the golden migration route in the central Pacific Ocean, and strive to increase the average annual number of immigrants on this route from the current more than 600,000 to reach the goal of 800,000 people per year.

Only in this way can the vast demand for new colonies in South and Central America be effectively filled, in addition to the continuous supply of blood to the two small South American countries of Paraguay and Uruguay, and the strengthening of Argentina's economic penetration and influence, which will require an increase in the import scale of Chinese immigrants.

On the basis of the continuous importation of Chinese immigrants, it is necessary to open a wide range of Chinese-language schools, from primary and secondary schools to institutions of higher learning, and carry out a comprehensive cultural invasion.

That's the only way

After 80 to 100 years of three or four generations of efforts, the entire American region, including North, Central and South America, Chinese will become the main lingua franca of all countries, the Chinese will become an important force in the political, economic and military fields of various countries, and the Chinese community will also become the mainstream ethnic group of society, which will be the most exciting and proud place for Richard.

Think about it

The Chinese world dominates East Asia, Southeast Asia and the Americas, and the Chinese clan association represents the large and small countries of the environmental protection Pacific, and its strength is unprecedentedly strong.

The Pan-Pacific International Organization established on this basis will have the strength to compete with the EU and become the world's most powerful alliance of trans-Pacific countries, and the voice of the Chinese will be greatly enhanced.

Although this is just an idea, is it still far from being realized?

The war in South America was not over, and the army under the Andean Governor's Palace of the Tang Empire needed to recuperate for several months, and miss the peak agricultural season, before they could gather a strong enough army to continue to advance north, deep into Brazil, to attack and inflict heavy damage on the enemy, until the final victory of the war.

This process will take about 2~3 years, maybe it will be delayed for a year or two, but the final victory will definitely belong to the Tang Empire, there is no doubt about it.

After the defeat of the Brazilian Empire, the country lost a large number of people and labor in need of replenishment, and this was a new opportunity for Chinese immigrants.

Migration policies in South America could be adjusted from supplementing the shortage of young male workers in Paraguay and Uruguay to increasing economic penetration in Argentina to Brazil.

Under the favorable conditions of the post-war treaty, the Tang Empire was confident that it would shift the focus of immigration to the Brazilian Empire and continue to export young Chinese labor to it, so as to ensure long-term and sustained influence on Brazil and promote the growth of pro-Tang political and economic forces.

Only at this stage did the Tang Empire's South American strategy enter the deep water area.
