The assassination of Fairmont Park caused a huge repercussion in society, and many angry people took to the streets to demonstrate against this unscrupulous crime.

Finding out after the fact

Among the 27 perpetrators who participated in the assassination and were killed on the spot, except for three Irish, all the others were Italians, and public opinion was in an uproar for a while.

Italians were not welcomed in the first place, and have always been known as hooligans, thieves, and gangsters, and now their reputation has become a stinky street, and they have become rats crossing the street...... Everyone shouted and fought.

In today's world, European and American countries have formed a chain of contempt.

The hegemon of the world, the British Empire is high at the top of the chain of contempt, not only looks down on the nouveau riche like the Tang State, but also ridicules and ridicules France every day, and sneers at the rudeness of the Germans, no one looks down on them anyway.

The old hatred between France and Germany has not disappeared, and new hatred has been added, they are not only enemies who share the sky, but they are also unaccustomed to the nouveau riche Tang State in the New World.

Of course, the Tang State regarded itself as the superior kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and both hated the old Britain, and also looked down on the narcissistic French and the newly rising Germans, and despised each other.

Tsarist Russia has a pathological obsession with expanding its territory, and the four strong countries of Britain, Tang, France, and Germany all look down on him, and they are ashamed to be together, and they will decisively step on him when they have the opportunity.

Tsarist Russia could not provoke the four great powers of Britain, Tang, France and Germany, but it also looked down on the loose and corrupt Austro-Hungarian Empire, which was looked down upon by all the great powers on the European continent and was at the bottom of the chain of contempt.

But he also has the object of contempt, and that is Italy.

This is the status of the Kingdom of Italy in the 70s of the 19th century, which was at the bottom of the ranks of the world powers, and its strength was not good for its reputation, and it was almost useless.

Italy's backward southern region is completely agrarian in its economic structure, with no industrial component in sight, and the peasants and craftsmen at the bottom are living in poverty, and it is a luxury to fill their stomachs.

In bad times, starvation was common, and the upper classes and aristocracy were indifferent to this, preferring to disguise social poverty with a superficial luxury of high society.

This is also the fundamental reason for the large number of Italians to immigrate, and they can't survive in their hometown in Europe, so they have to go to North America to find their dream palace.

Now there is a wave of opposition to Italian immigration in North America, and celebrities from all walks of life in the north have expressed their opinions, condemning the bad behavior of Italian immigrants in unison and demanding that the government take restrictive measures.

This trend soon swept to the south, and many southern husbands said that they hated Italians, and the south did not take in garbage, let alone immigrants from the south.

Many companies said they would not hire Italian workers, and banks, post offices, and trading companies followed suit, creating a rising wave of anti-reaction.

Early February 1877

After taking the oath of office, the first Chinese president, Zhang Zhongliang, complied with the will of the people and proposed the first law to restrict people of Italian descent, which was successfully passed under the current social upsurge.

The new law prohibits ships carrying Italians to North America, imposes heavy fines on violators, detains and repatriates Italian people who enter without permission, stops the processing of relevant Italian naturalization certificates, and strictly prohibits companies from recruiting illegal Italian workers without the right of abode.

After the implementation of the law, the liners operated by major shipping companies on Atlantic routes were adjusted, and the Kingdom of Italy, a hotspot for immigration, was cancelled and replaced by other European countries.

The effect of the law was remarkable, with white immigrants from Italy plummeting by more than 9 percent.

In April 1877, Zuo Zongtang led the army to march into the Nanjiang River in three ways, and within half a month, the three cities of Daban, Tuoxun and Turpan were opened, and the Hunan army won successive battles, and the war situation was very good.

In May, Aquba died in despair......

Balkan region of Europe

Serbia and Negro, two small cities that had officially declared war on the Ottoman Empire, were repeatedly ravaged by the Ottoman army, their homes were bloodbathed, and a large number of people were forcibly displaced.

Seeing that these two little henchmen could not bear the strength and would be wiped out by the Ottoman army if they did not help, Tsarist Russia finally took it upon himself and officially declared war on the Ottoman Empire on April 24, 1877.

In May, Romania, Serbia and Montenegro all announced that they would join Russia in the war against the Ottoman Empire, and the Balkan powder keg was completely detonated.

The Crimean War of 1853~1856 caused Tsarist Russia to lose its prestige and influence in the Balkans, and it urgently needed an opportunity to return to the Balkans and restore its traditional influence in the region.

More importantly

By controlling the Balkans and thus the Bosphorus, the throat of the Mediterranean, Russia sought access to the Black Sea, in order to open up the only outlet to the sea in the southwest, which it had long sought.

Therefore, Tsarist Russia gloated over the deterioration of the situation in the Ultraman Empire, and actively intervened when it saw the opportunity.

At this point, the 10th Russo-Turkish War, which gave Britain a headache, broke out again, dragging it into the whirlpool of war again.

The war in Europe created a large amount of demand, which made the world trade pick up again, which can be said to be a blessing in misfortune, and the Tang Empire was the first to feel this warm current.

Both foreign trade volume and exports rebounded, gradually affecting more types of commodities, forming an overall recovery in the export market.

Coupled with the strong traction of domestic demand, the Tang Empire came out of the shadow of the economic crisis, and the economic growth rate reached 6.17% in the first quarter of 1877, and the output of steel and pig iron both surpassed that of the United Kingdom, ranking first in the world.

In the Diligent Palace

Emperor Richard was deliberating on reports on the neocolony of Colombia, an area under the military control of the Southern Corps, which had maintained a high-intensity military repression, and continued policing and clearance operations for nearly three years.

Years of war led to a sharp decline in the population of the neo-colonial areas of Colombia, and the empire began to reinvigorate the southern part of Colombia with a systematic migration, populating the southern Colombian provinces with population, the provinces of Central State (formerly Ecuador) and Fuyuan (ceded by Peru).

The construction of large-scale infrastructure facilities such as railways, roads, bridges, and urban construction has continuously improved the overall environment of the new colonial area, attracting some adventurous investors with capital in their hands to enter the new colonial area to build plantations and farms.

The new residential areas of Colombia, as well as Zhongzhou Province and Fuyuan Province, belong to the fringe area of the Amazon rainforest, where the vegetation grows vigorously, the sun and rain are abundant, which is very suitable for the growth of coffee, tobacco, cane sugar, natural rubber trees, suitable for the growth of various melons and fruits, and suitable for the development of special breeding industries.

The Tang Empire incorporated the new colonies into the empire itself through unimpeded rail and road transportation, and exported a steady stream of Chinese immigrants.

In the past three years, the focus of immigration in the entire South American region has been the neo-colonial area of Colombia, and the Chinese population has grown rapidly from less than 35,000 to nearly 500,000, with an average annual growth of more than 160,000.

The total population of the neocolony of Colombia barely remains at around 3.8 million (Note; Including 500,000 ethnic Chinese), more than 71,000 people in Zhongzhou Province (note; all Chinese immigrants), and more than 220,000 people in Fuyuan Province (note, Chinese immigrants account for about half).

The continuous import of the Chinese population has significantly changed the socio-demographic structure of the new colonial areas, especially in the south, which has become completely Chinese-dominated.

By the first and second quarters of 1877, the loss of women in the neocolony continued, averaging 12,000 to 15,000 per month, and had caused irreversible damage to the region.

As a result of the massive loss of young women and the stagnation of natural population growth in the neocolonies of Colombia, the social heritage of this generation of Indians, native-born whites, and mixed-race inhabitants will no longer be sustainable after natural aging.

This has also caused many serious social problems, such as alcoholism, robbery, forced women, frequent violent injuries and fights, murder and robbery, and the security in the northern district is obviously not as good as that in the southern district, which is dominated by Chinese immigrants.

The Imperial Army severely suppressed criminal activities, restricting the movement of indigenous populations while cracking down on indigenous tribes that connived at and shielded bandits.

It is estimated

Such military operations will continue for at least 10 years, with more and more petty offenders being thrown into hard labor camps and felons hanged to death, which will be the norm in the neo-colonial areas of Colombia.

In order to promote the governance of the new colonial area, the focus of immigration in the whole of South America has shifted to Colombia, Zhongzhou Province (formerly Ecuador), and Fuyuan Province (Peru Ceded Area), with an average annual immigration scale of about 20~210,000 people.

Due to the continuous investment in infrastructure construction, continuous investment in military clearance operations, and continuous investment in immigration and colonization, the new colonial areas in South America have been the key financial subsidy areas of the empire for more than three years.

The war reparations squeezed out of the defeated countries of Peru and Bolivia were also put into the neo-colonial zone.

With the abundant financial resources of the Tang Empire, it can afford to support such consumption, subsidizing more than 13 million Tang Yuan a year in the new colonial area, about half of which is used for long-term military operations, and continues to strengthen its control over the region.

According to the careful assessment of the Imperial Colonial Department;

Ten years after the current policy was implemented, around 1885, Colombia's total population would remain at around 4 million, of which half or slightly more would be of Chinese descent.

Twenty years after the implementation of the current policy, that is, by the end of this century, the total population of Colombia will rise slightly to between 420 and 4.3 million, of which the Chinese population will account for more than 80 percent, and will eventually fluctuate around 9 percent.

In 20 years, the population of Zhongzhou Province (formerly Ecuador) will grow to 550,000 to 600,000, and 100% of them will be Chinese.

The population of Fuyuan Province will grow to one million, and more than 90% of them will be Chinese-descent society, reaching a relatively ideal state.

Nowadays, there are many families in Europe and the United States, with an average British family size of 5.72 people, a German family size of 6.85 people, an Italian family size of 7.12 people, and a Chinese family size of 11.65 people.

British, German and Italian families are all monogamous, with 3.72 children in the UK and 5.12 children in Italy (note; the average family size, please don't read too much into it).

It can be seen from the statistics that it is normal for most European families to have 3~5 children, which is also a common phenomenon.

According to the official statistics of the Tang Empire, each Chinese family had 1.72 wives and concubines, and the number of children born was close to the level of German families, higher than in Britain and lower than in Italy.

This is only a count of established Chinese families, not bachelors and new immigrants who cannot afford to marry a wife, and many old immigrant families are only monogamous, and they belong to the average part of the family.

Because it is very common for Chinese elites to have three wives and four concubines, some wealthy businessmen even have five or six aunts, and there are dozens of people in a large family.

In some of the more affluent middle-class families, one wife and one concubine is the norm, and which family does not have seventy or eighty children?
