August 11, 1867.

With the last nationals of the Sultanate of Zanzibar sent to Zanzibar, the East African colonies took full control of the mainland part of the Sultanate of Zanzibar.

In order to facilitate the administration of the colony, and to thoroughly digest these newly acquired lands.

After a series of studies and discussions between Ernst and the top of the colonial government, the administrative divisions of the East African colonies were further divided.

The first is that the colony of Kenya was divided into three administrative districts and incorporated into the East African colony, in order from west to east.

In the west, Kisumu on the northern shore of Kavirondo Bay in the Great Lake (Lake Victoria) is the capital, and the Western District of Kenya is established.

Kisumu, like Mwanza, is located on the shores of the bay of the Great Lakes (Lake Victoria), which was the third largest city in Kenya and the second largest in Tanzania.

In the future, when the plague in the northwest has dissipated, Kampala, the capital of the Buganda Kingdom, can be snatched over, and the troika of cities and economic development around the Great Lakes region can be built.

The central part of Kenya is headed at Nairobi, and the Central District of Kenya is established.

Needless to say, Nairobi was the capital of Kenya in its previous life and the largest city in East Africa, with huge development potential, and the coffee cultivation currently developed in the East African colony is not far from Nairobi.

In the east, Mombasa is the capital, and the Eastern District of Kenya is established.

As one of the two most important ports in East Africa in the future (the other is Dar es Salaam), Mombasa has excellent transportation conditions and is currently the most prosperous and lively area in Kenya.

In addition to the division of Kenya. Ernst and the colonial governments of East Africa also fine-tuned the administrative districts within Tanzania.

The first was the First Town, the central seat of the East African colonial government, which was redivided into Bagamoyo and Dar es Salaam to form the Central District.

In addition to the first town, the administrative center of East Africa, the two port cities of Bagamoyo and Dar es Salaam were also included, and there was also the second town, the earliest planned settlement stronghold.

The infrastructure of these four cities can be said to be the most complete in the current East African colonies, and the future development prospects will not be bad.

The capital of the Upper Primorsky district was also changed from the third town (Kitunga) to Tanga.

As one of only four port cities in the East African colonies, Tanga Port is also one of the few cities in the East African colonies with an industrial (sisal factory), and its potential is far greater than that of the third town.

Kitunga was relegated because it was too close to the first town to highlight its strengths, but the third town with the first-mover advantage was still the second largest city in the Upper Primordial District.

With the evacuation of the inhabitants of the Sultanate of Zanzibar, the rest of the former Zanzibar coast was also included in the adjacent regions.

From south to north, the coastal areas of the East African colonies are the eastern Kenyan region, the upper coastal area, the central area, the middle coastal area, and the lower coastal area.

Thus the number of colonies in East Africa rose from 10 to 14 (the first town became the central district, plus the three districts of Kenya). ）

In order to develop the southern part of the East African colony, the conference also decided to build a new port city on the southern coast of the East African colony.

Mtwara, which is located in the Lower Primorsky District, mainly serves the Lower Primorsky District and the East Malawi Lake District.

Affected by the previous colonial policies and geographical location in East Africa, the Lower Coastal District and the Lake District of East Malawi can be said to be the two regions with the lowest colonial presence in East Africa.

Previously, the main development and expansion directions of the East African colonies were mainly in the west and north, and in the middle there was a war with the Sultanate of Zanzibar, and no attention was paid to the south.

As a result, the rate of migration is even slower than that of the western interior, at the same level as several large regions in the heartland.

It is understandable that there are fewer immigrants in the heartland, as there is less threat in the very center of the East African colonies.

But the south has to pay attention, the Portuguese in the south are not vegetarians, although Portugal has been declining over the years, but the power overseas is not something that Ernst or even the current Prussia and Austria-Hungary can touch.

Therefore, it is extremely important to strengthen the population of the south and consolidate the security of the East African colonies.

The colonizers of this era had great autonomy, so even if Portugal itself had no idea about the East African colonies, and the top brass of the Portuguese East African colonies had crooked thoughts, they could not control it at home.

The Portuguese have been in contact with Mozambique since 1497, and their colony of Mozambique (also known as Portuguese East Africa) has a history of 400 years.

The roots of such entrenched rule are quite solid, and the Portuguese have historically been interested in the East African colonies, and have also clashed with the Sultanate of Zanzibar.

Therefore, it should not be taken lightly, and the proximity of Lohn Roda, the capital of the Lower Maritime District, and Songaia, the capital of the East Malawi Lake District, to Portuguese East Africa necessitated the strengthening of the military forces of both places to deter the Portuguese.

In fact, the colonial activities of this era were not very high-level, that is, a group of people with advanced weapons to conquer backward areas and plunder local resources.

And excellent resources, such as gold and silver minerals, will naturally be contested, so often colonists will fight with each other.

East Africa is relatively poor, has no outstanding resources, and the environment is not superior, and the vast grasslands cannot compete with West Africa even in the era of the slave trade.

The only advantage of the East African colonies was that Ernst personally planned its development route and vigorously promoted its construction.

Therefore, the East African colonies were everywhere showing the superiority of planning, and the number of immigrants in the East African colonies increased rapidly, and the number of indigenous people decreased sharply.

For example, the Portuguese next door, who have been developing Mozambique for hundreds of years, have not had as many immigrants as the East African colonies that have developed for less than two years, and they use a large number of black labor, allowing them to grow, which is very good at the moment, but it planted the seeds for the future independence of Portuguese East Africa (independence in 1975).

In the previous life, Portuguese East Africa ruled Mozambique for 500 years, and it is not too much to say that it has been since ancient times, and finally left in disgrace.

At present, the East African colonies, the indigenous people in the territory, have dropped from a few million to hundreds of thousands, and they are still consumables, and the scale will continue to decline in the future.
