Chapter 102: Country (Part 2)

** Province, Lhasa.

With the two supreme emperors, the Panchen Lama, joining forces to Beijing to celebrate the great emperor, the special autonomy of the emperor was abolished and became a province and region where the central government exercised its sect.

As China's southwest border defense area, China's most important water source has received extraordinary attention from the imperial government.

After the signing of the Sino-British diplomatic memorandum, the Chinese army stationed in Tibet expanded rapidly. Well-equipped and well-paid professional soldiers entered the snowy outpost, and the capable motorized troops rolled out from the Qinghai-** combat readiness highway, while the huge road construction troops were accompanied by.

The road was ahead, and the parallel railway was also conducting surveys. The British and Indian troops on the other side of the border, the Dunergua Battalion of the Wangjia Army of Nepal, were in a very complicated mood and watched the every move of this powerful neighbor in the north.

According to the Chinese-British diplomatic memorandum, the Sikkim regime, as a traditional vassal vassal, had also respectfully surrendered to the Chinese Empire. After the reform of the province, the newly formed fourth-generation Benhe Defense Forces cavalry units of the Tibetan army entered Sikkim. The Sikkim rulers received tribute and stayed in Beijing, were named earls, and were given shares in the royal family. They lived a life of a wealthy family and gradually became completely naturalized into China's aristocratic family system through marriage.

Later, the Sikkim Earl family, which was re-elected by the Sikkim Namugar royal family, produced a lieutenant general, which is a later story.

In Nepal, the King Shah family has always been deeply dissatisfied with the Lara family who used mutiny to usurp power and gained real power in Nepal by hereditary prime minister. Unfortunately, behind the Lara family was the British and Indian authorities. No matter how much the king had any objections, he could only do a promising job of rubber stamps.

China's rise gave the king another path: to take advantage of the conflicts between China and Britain to regain the Nepal regime.

Although the Chinese-British memorandum reaffirmed the effectiveness of the Treaty of Segori between Britain and Nepal, the Lara family faced increasingly strong pressure from the north, especially the reality of "appeasement" in front of China, which made Lara have to face the northern neighbors.

The Lara family, who was good at speculation, also began to ease relations with the king's Shah family, and actively established mutual trust with the emperor, restrained the border army, and even actively returned the fugitives who participated in the rebellion.

As China and Britain returned to their "alliance" states, Nepal ceased to stop. After the rebellion, the ***, which suffered another purge, began to be forced to semi-actively embark on the path of modern civilization.

Thousands of years later, the ** society dominated by monks began to taste the "sweet pain" under the impact of modern civilization. The school taught standard Chinese dialect, and the market sold Chinese goods of high quality and low price. More and more Han immigrated, organized by border troops and pioneering groups, and gradually immigrated from ** and Yunnan to the west to seek her husband and do business. These tough Han people held rifles and organized them in military form to carry out farm operations in a gathering manner. They participated in the construction of roads during the slack farming period, and gradually extended their power to the west.

In Linzhi, in the Yarlung Zangbo River Basin, the climate is mild, the rain is abundant and the forests are lush, and it has become a paradise for the Han people. The Luoba people and Menba people in the primitive state also began to feel the impact of some civilized atmosphere with a feeling of confusion and anxiety.

Two completely different civilizations at different stages of development began to collide on this ancient land and will eventually move towards integration.

Xinjiang.

In the northern and southern borders, which were subjected to two large-scale wars within more than ten years, the Islamic residents who survived were half-treated and half-curiously beginning to accept a seemingly familiar and unfamiliar religion: the Baha'i religion.

According to the Reformation Plan formulated by Zheng Yu, the contemporary Baha'i prophet Abdubaha led a fellow church group to China and began to launch "reform" work in traditional Islamic areas.

This modern religion originated from the Shiites in Islam, but has undergone a large number of reforms in the spirit of humanism based on the development of modern society and the humanistic spirit. With the help of the coercive power of the imperial government, it began a major transformation of the northwest Muslims dominated by Sunnis, and even Muslims in the Hezhong area.

According to the imperial decree, starting from the areas directly under the Governor's District of Xinjiang and Hezhong, Islamic imams must hold a license issued by the government to preach. The license of the government is inspected one year and begins to be tightened.

In fact, only those who convert to the Baha'i religion can obtain a missionary license.

Under such pressure, devout Muslims have to contact the imams secretly for rituals. Fortunately, Islam is different from Christianity, and advocates that believers and Allah can communicate directly without the need for priests as intermediaries. Daily religious worship does not require the participation of imams, so the impact is actually not so significant and urgent.

But the change has begun.

Under the actual operation of the government, the Baha'i believers live more conveniently and are more easily accepted by the government, the military and economic sectors. The Baha'i believers also have more and more places of worship in the local area, and their influence is increasing day by day.

The Muslims in Xinjiang and the rivers could not be brave enough to resist in the face of the bayonet of the National Defense Forces.

Lin Suren's "Beijingguan Competition" in Xinjiang ten years ago was a terrified child in Northwest Islamic Republic, and the children did not dare to cry at night. At that time, Lin Suren's handling was still vivid in his mind: one of the captured people was killed on the spot, and the rest were all sent to labor for ten years.

Ten years later, some unrepentant people came again during the Asian War, and were killed even more miserably. The treatment of the prisoners became one of the five out of five and executed on the spot, and the remaining twenty years of labor.

Lin Suren didn't say anything clearly, but the fools could see clearly: every extra rebellion, the punishment would be doubled.

Although the multiplication of mathematics is a bit profound for many people, by counting it with your fingers, everyone understands what the next time will be.

With the connection between the Northwest Railway and the Central Asia Railway built by Russia earlier, China has gradually consolidated its rule over the Northwest region, especially Xinjiang and the newly-entered territory.

After the discovery of large sodium saltpeter mines in Xinjiang and the foundation that supported China's chemical industry, the imperial government also invested more resources in Xinjiang's geological exploration.

Zheng Yu knew very well that the later "Coal Sea" Turpan Basin and the "Oil Sea" Tarim Basin, large nickel ore, copper ore, gold ore, were hidden under the rock formations below the surface. Although he was not sure of the specific location, he knew what all this had for developing the country's economy and stabilizing the western border.

But at this stage, the economic pillars of Xinjiang and Hezhong are basically still agriculture.

In Xinjiang, the land, pastures, cattle and sheep of the rebels were confiscated, and the military reclamation with the border army as the backbone was further expanded, and the civil reclamation was introduced as flesh and blood with the organization of the pioneering regiment.

With the rapid development of the national textile industry and the rapid expansion of market demand, American long-length cotton has been widely planted in these organizations that combine agriculture and animal husbandry. Xinjiang's climate is dry and cold and sunny, which is suitable for the growth of high-quality cotton. Through variety improvement and planting technology, Xinjiang's cotton yield has increased from ten kilograms per mu at the beginning to more than twenty kilograms.

The development of the cotton industry has attracted more and more mainland sluts to immigrate to Xinjiang to engage in planting and trade activities.

The animal husbandry in Xinjiang has gradually moved from a dispersed nomadic and unorganized self-sufficiency economy to a factory-based production.

Unlike the Kazakh grassland area where soil aquifers were lost due to excessive reclamation during the Soviet period, the Gobi in Xinjiang is more due to overgrazing and flooding.

As the saying goes, horses eat one crop, camels eat one crop, sheep eat another crop, from grass leaves to grass roots to grass seeds, there is nothing left. The two emperors of the Zheng family who know this harm naturally cannot repeat the same mistakes and destroy the source of the mother river of the Chinese nation.

Xinjiang Animal Husbandry has also adopted a model of captivity. Large farms or intensive family farms have given agricultural and animal husbandry machinery a place to use. The ground wheel lawn mower driven by animal power has been introduced for a long time, and large automatic lawn mowers led by tractors have also begun to enter.

Excellent varieties such as small-tailed cold sheep have also been introduced into the pasture in batches.

Zheng Yu's complete set of purebred breeding, binary and ternary hybridization, and the concept of continuous optimization of indicators using statistics and databases has been implemented, and new industrial breeding farms have begun to appear.

The various breeding farms established according to Zheng Yu's set of ideas have gradually begun to breed offspring, a database structure has been established, and more breeding and cultivation experience have been explored. In addition to breeding purebred livestock, scientific researchers are also experimenting with the effect of hybridizing and mixed-race in different populations of similar livestock. Exploring the best solutions.

This scientific and systematic approach is subtly changing the traditional economic model and will eventually evolve into a revolution in animal husbandry.

Taipei.

With the help of developed water and railway transportation, this emerging city has a unique geographical location. With the stability of the defense situation in Northeast Asia and the acceleration of Taiwan's development, some modern big cities have begun to emerge.

Although the entire urban area has a population of only 250,000, as the capital of a new province, Taipei has almost been built from scratch. It has no burden than the mainland's big cities, and is naturally more modern and orderly.

The economic pillars of Taiwan Island are currently mainly agriculture, salt, sugar pressing, sulfur, fishing, chemical industry and shipbuilding. The resources on the island are not rich, but they are still comprehensive. With the efforts of Taiwan's government, the country has also invested part of the funds to mine coal, copper, gold, sulfur and other minerals in Taiwan, and the railway network has also been improved.

With its superior geographical location, Taiwan's civilian ship manufacturing industry has gradually developed into a crucial pillar industry on the island. As the implementation of national ethnic policies, the Taiwan Provincial Government used the central interest subsidy funds to provide compulsory education, free food and accommodation for the Gaoshan people, and formed a special organization to help the Gaoshan people who went down the mountain settle down, transfer to farms and workshops, and also provided food subsidies to attract these indigenous residents who still maintain fishing and hunting customs to go down the mountain and gradually integrate into modern society.

Taiwan's population finally exceeded four million in this year.

Manila, Philippines.

The first anniversary of the return to China has triggered a continuous and enthusiastic wave in Philippine society, especially the absolutely dominant Chinese society.

In the Philippines, more and more indigenous people with some meager Chinese descent, even almost purely natives, have begun to call themselves Chinese.

This is not legally hindered.

Because of the entire Chinese Empire, the law clearly stipulates that there is only one nation, the Chinese nation.

You can say that you are German and mixed with Chinese and German race, but the nation can only be the Chinese nation.

This is already an open and confident nation.

They restored the glory of their ancestors and even realized their dreams that had not been realized in thousands of years. Their territory ran across Asia from south to north, and from east to west. They won all the wars they participated in so far, and their power enveloped half of the Pacific Ocean and most of the Asia. Their fleet was recognized as the absolute overlord of this ocean, and their army was regarded as the strongest by all the worlds, even no one.

They no longer need to deliberately emphasize their strength in front of anyone.

For the strong, self-confidence is the norm.

For the veteran strong man, showing off can only mean that he is becoming weak.

In this era, this newly rising power is like its citizens: full of confidence, slightly vigilant to try all kinds of new things, give positive responses to all good intentions, and often respond to some bad intentions to be provoked.

He is gradually adapting to his identity as a first-class power and dominant person in the East, and is becoming more and more proficient in using his deterrent power to seek the greatest benefit for his people.

During the transfer of Chinese and Western countries to the Philippines last year, Hispanics who chose to stay in the Philippines had the most personal feeling about this.

Their yellow-skinned Chinese neighbors faced these white people without the cowardice and flattery of the Asian colonial people, nor did they have the somewhat hysterical populist disease of some Japanese people. They just regard these white people as ordinary people who are similar to theirs, curious about the other party's living habits, religious beliefs, language and writing, but that's all.

In front of these people, Hispanics, who are "weak in the country in primary and weak", vaguely feel the inferiority unique to survival in a nationalist country as a small ethnic group.

Times are different.

Balibaban.

As the capital of the Boni Republic, this oil port has gradually gained more humanistic colors.

The biggest impact of the bonito** is the first of all the influx of Chinese immigrants. The population of this newly born Chinese country has expanded by 40% in a year, and the newly influx of immigrants quickly filled the space left by the departing indigenous people.

Much of the territory of this country is still in its original state of development.

Mosquitoes are raging, drinking water is unclean, rain and typhoons are frequent, and tropical diseases are flooded.

Under such conditions, the tenacious Chinese immigrants still fought a long and arduous battle with nature with the inherent hard work and wisdom of their nation.

Rice farms, sugarcane gardens, tobacco planting companies, rubber plantations, family farms, agricultural product processing and trading companies, and commercial warehouses were established like mushrooms after a rain.

Although they will be baptized by blood and tears, the final victory will eventually belong to them.

Because history has proved countless times that as long as they come, unless violence is exerted by local regimes, they will inevitably become the successful class here after several generations.

What's more, this country belongs to the Chinese: its king is His Majesty the Emperor of the Chinese Empire himself.

Guam.

This island, with an area of ​​less than 600 square kilometers, began to be fortified five years ago and became the main front-lift base of the Chinese Navy in the central western Pacific.

The island is like spring all year round, with an average annual temperature ranging from 26 to 27 degrees Celsius. It is now the rainy season, and the calamus on the highest peak, Lanlan Mountain, fluctuates with the sea breeze.

The original Apula Port on the island has been renamed Dongguan Port, and is tightly surrounded by land. It is a natural deep-water port. Although this port is heavily guarded and full of giant cannons, it is already a dual purpose for military and civilians. Flags of various countries are flying on the masts of merchant ships in the harbor, but the most conspicuous are several giant ships.

The Changsha-class battleships Changsha and Yuezhou were being tested, and the imperial navy's golden dragon sea flag was flying on the towering pagoda bridge.
