Chapter 619 1874 Imperial Territory Area

The conditions of the peace talks of the Tang Empire were extremely harsh, and at the scene of the post-war negotiations in Panama City, the post-war contract with 21 clauses was directly thrown out, and arrogantly stated that not a word was allowed to be changed.

This made Britain, France, Spain and other countries witness the domineering attitude of the Tang Empire, and then take a closer look at these 21 peace treaties, and can't help but gasp.

Then...... The defeated countries of Peru and Bolivia will be put to death!

Moreover, there was no place for Ecuador in the peace treaty, and the envoys of the Tang Empire unequivocally told the parties involved in the peace talks;

This is the spoils of the empire, and from now on there will be no more Ecuador, only a new province called "Zhongzhou", and this territory is wanted by the empire.

in post-war peace treaties;

The Tang Empire demanded that Peru cede 4 regions along the northwest coast from 1.285 million square kilometers, with a total of 24 regions and 195 provinces, involving 31 provinces with a total of 266,000 square kilometers.

This part of the territory will become a new Imperial Province, known as the "Fuyuan Province", which will be directly under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Government.

In addition, in the name of the Northern Alliance, the treaty ordered Bolivia, another defeated country, to cede 420,000 square kilometers of southern land from its original territory of 1.098 million square kilometers to the Andean Viceroyalty and Paraguay.

The former received 298,000 square kilometers, while Paraguay received 122,000 square kilometers of territory, which greatly dismembered Bolivia, and the conditions can be said to be extremely harsh.

The hard-line attitude of the Tang Empire made the diplomatic envoys of the United States of America, Brazil, Argentina and other countries present have mixed feelings in their hearts, and such a scene seems familiar.

Think back to the beginning

The envoys of the Tang Empire also threw the negotiation conditions on the table in this way, and the tough ones did not allow bargaining, but could only accept or refuse, and there was no third way to work.

The British representative who presided over this international mediation had a very ambiguous attitude, and presumably had been warned in advance, and did not jump up and make wild remarks, fan the wind, light a ghost fire, and create contradictions and incidents.

On the contrary, the Spanish diplomatic representative was in a fierce mood and loudly accused the invasion of the Tang Empire at the peace talks for poisoning South America, greatly changing the pattern of countries in the region, and bringing devastating disasters to the region......

As a result, Spanish diplomatic representatives were directly expelled from the peace talks, declared persona non grata, and ordered to leave the country within a certain period of time.

This made the Spaniards look great in the international arena and suffered great humiliation, but they did not dare to blow up the thorns, thus becoming a joke in the international diplomatic circles.

If the Spaniards dared to flip the table, the Tang Empire would just take advantage of the situation to send troops to pick off the ripe Cuba and Puerto Rico, and expand another wave in the name of justification.

The southern invasion army, which was originally preparing to expand the war, barely moved, which came in handy.

It was precisely because of the stakes that the newly restored Bourbon government wisely remained silent despite the ridicule of the outside world.

The delegations of the Peruvian and Bolivian governments to the peace talks hesitated for more than a month and finally had to bow their heads and sign the humiliating Panama Compact and hand over the hardliners who conspired to orchestrate the Tumaco affair, General Juan Varela and Ecuadorian General Daniel Morat.

It is these hot-headed fools who have pushed their country to the brink of extinction.

The Tang Empire also did not live up to the other party's kindness, which was originally one of the requirements in Article 21. 137 gallows were erected directly on the outskirts of Panama City, and all 137 participants in the conspiracy, led by General Juan Varela and General Daniel Morat, were hanged.

This public execution spread all over the world through newspapers in Europe, the Tang Empire and South American countries, and the gallows with no end in sight was breathtaking.

The famous Brazilian journalist Toledo Martínez wrote sadly in his report; "The 137 gallows outside Panama City are full of people who have angered the Tang Empire. With the last of the executioners having their necks torn off, the spirit of resistance in the countries of South America was also torn off......"

He said this for a reason......

The British Empire's mighty royal fleet's visit to the Americas had long been hyped up, but now it encountered a problem, that is, the ports of the American countries visited by the fleet could not be decided.

Intimidated by the majesty of the master of the Daming Palace, no American country dared to ignore the warning of the "Demon King Richard", thus setting himself on fire.

The United States of America, which had intended to do so, retreated, and the Confederate States of America shouted loudly but acted honestly.

They didn't dare to use this incident to test whether the alliance relationship with the Tang Empire was strong?

This is especially true of Brazil and Argentina, which have been severely beaten, and Venezuela, which is lucky not to be listed as a target for conquest, does not dare to gamble, or is not qualified to gamble at all.

So to date

The British Royal Navy's powerful fleet was settled only in Canada, Havana in Cuba and Suriname in South America, and nothing else was settled.

Canada is a British colony with autonomy, and Cuba is the land of the Spaniards, and the Spaniards are also confident, after all, their ancestors are broad and will not be intimidated by a word.

South America's Suriland is a different story, which is almost a European enclave, with Britain, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Spain all occupying a piece of territory here, almost like a conference.

French Guiana is also in this area, right next to Suriname, where European power is concentrated.

In addition to the above three places, it is really embarrassing that the Royal Fleet of the British Empire, which is invincible all over the world, cannot find a place to stay.

The muscles displayed by the Tang Empire made the British feel the stinging deeply, but they had no choice but to grit their teeth and endure it.

The British secretly wrote down this account, ready to have a chance to pay it back.

By waging the Second South American War, the Tang Empire first annexed 1.14 million square kilometers of Colombia's territory, then 266,000 square kilometers from the defeated Peru, 298,000 square kilometers from Bolivia, and completely occupied 256,000 square kilometers of Ecuador's territory.

A total of 1.96 million square kilometers of South American land was pocketed in this way, which made the envious eyes of the European powers red.

These 1.96 million square kilometers of South American land, combined with 210,000 square kilometers in Yunzhong Province, means that in just a few years, the territory of the Tang Empire has increased by 2.17 million square kilometers again.

The empire's territory grew from 16,742,800 square kilometers in 1869 to 18,920,000 square kilometers, surpassing the French and Qing empires, and ranking third in the world after the British and Russian empires.

Only a small part of the 200 million Tang Yuan war bonds originally issued were used, and the rest of the funds were redistributed and invested in the construction of infrastructure in the new colony.

This includes railways, roads, bridges, dams, and urban construction, and a portion of the proceeds go to the Royal Navy, which has been fully funded for the construction of its Duke-class ironclads, which has increased dramatically and expanded the construction plan from six to eight.

After the completion of the completion of three "Zhenyang" class ironclad ships, four new 9,000-ton improved "Zhenhe" class ships will also be built, further expanding the scale of the main ironclad fleet.

In the Treaty of Panama, it was stipulated that Peru and Bolivia would bear 90 million Tang dollars in war reparations, of which Peru would hold a 76 percent share and Bolivia would have a 24 percent share.

The war reparations will be paid over 20 years at an annual interest rate of 5.5%, which will be pledged by the rights and interests of the guano mines and customs of the two countries, and will be stationed by a special committee sent by the Tang Empire.

Besides

The Tang Empire will also station troops in the two countries and set up up up to 10 military bases to maintain strong influence in the political circles of the two countries, which is also stipulated in the relevant treaties.

June 28, 1874

The long-awaited São Paulo summit was officially opened, and the heads of government of South American countries were present one after another, and the Tang Empire was headed by the crown prince Tang Li Gan, and the prime minister, Count Dong Jie, and other heavyweights were also present at the São Paulo summit, which was the highest level diplomatic summit in South America.

Among the leaders of the countries participating in the summit, only Venezuela and Chile have not been beaten, and they are also the only two South American countries that have not garrisoned the Tang Empire.

The arrival of the crown prince Tang Li Gan in São Paulo caused a huge sensation, and the local Chinese-led crowds almost all took to the streets, and the dragon and lion dances greeted His Royal Highness with traditional Chinese customs, and the roads were crowded with welcoming crowds on both sides.

In the five years after the First South American War, which ended in 1869, the Brazilian Empire imported more than 670,000 Chinese laborers, forming a large Chinese social group.

More than 100,000 imperial immigrants entered Brazil to run everything from commercial factories to banks and plantations.

Coupled with the Tang Empire's garrison of about 35,000 troops in Brazil, the Chinese and their wives and children formed a huge group of more than two million, and the enthusiasm completely exploded at the moment of the arrival of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

It was really a banner display, and there were a lot of people.

Wherever His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's motorcade passed, the streets were full of Tang people waving imperial flags, their faces were unconcealably excited, and the cheers were loud and loud.

Backed by a strong motherland, how proud are the expatriates living abroad?

Only overseas expatriates who have experienced it first-hand know that no matter what kind of trouble they encounter at any time, they can easily solve everything by showing their identity by showing their imperial passport.

It is not just that the Brazilian government does not dare to make things difficult for Chinese immigrants, but the whole of America is from East Asia, South Asia and the Western Pacific, and there is hardly any country that deliberately makes things difficult for the Chinese.

It's not that I don't want to, but I don't dare to do it.

On the other hand, the identity of the Qing Empire is not very good, although it is also a formidably large empire, but like a gentle and slow-moving giant, it will hardly respond to the appeals and difficulties of the diaspora?

Unlike the subjects of the Tang Empire, they could seek help from the embassies and consulates of the host country overseas, negotiate directly with the other government, and often get a quick response.

in time

Overseas Chinese know that having the identity of the Tang Empire can effectively ensure their own interests, and they have to handle one by all means, especially those who do business.

Most of the Australian gold diggers had the status of an imperial subject, just to not be bullied on that wild road, to be able to buy land and property, marry wives and have children, and enjoy the same treatment as white people.

The Qing Dynasty people were not allowed to marry wives and have children in Australia, nor did they have the right to buy land and property, and the golden sands they bought were often snatched away by whites, and resistance was a dead end.

As long as the braids are cut, foreigners can't tell which one is from the Qing Empire and which one is from the Tang Empire.
