Chapter 433: Under the Brazilian Empire

I walked through the Plaza of Modro and entered the Royal Palace of El Salvador. In the empty hall, Ebel found a place to sit down and waited patiently for the owner of the palace.
The palace was quiet. In the old days, hundreds of people gathered on a chair. Only a dozen people were empty.
Count Loreto, Minister of the Treasury of the Treasury (promoted from Baron to Earl in 1879 for his meritorious service to Princess Isabella.), Marshal Garcia, Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Army (regarded by Duke Acaju.), Duke Frobert, Prime Minister of the Empire (prime minister)
伯 Count Dewu, commander of the Imperial Navy, Baron Marcos, Minister of Imperial Foreign Affairs, and Antonio Fejo, bishop of the Imperial Diocese ...
Although the number of people sitting in the puppet palace is not large, each is a high-profile figure in the Brazilian Empire.
Seeing a crowd of imperial empires gathering at the Royal Palace of Saldova, Ebel realized the special nature of the meeting, and temporarily resisted the impulse to offer advice to Queen Isabella, and continued to sit in his seat.
"Your Majesty is here!"
After more than ten minutes, accompanied by a strong reputation, Queen Isabella and Duke Yiu, wearing a crown and a gorgeous white dress, sat side by side under the salute of everyone.
"To call you today, there are several important things that need everyone to discuss and make a decision."
Queen Isabella said: "The first thing is the final handling of the personnel involved in the insurgency. According to the recent response of Marshal Garcia and several generals in the states, he was directly involved in the insurgency and was suspected of providing material support to the insurgents. The total number of people exceeds 200,000, and more than 200,000 people have been detained or isolated. This is not a solution. Therefore, in the end, how to properly solve the problem of the management and resettlement of rebel blacks, we must come up with a sound plan as soon as possible. "
Queen Isabella finished her speech, and set her sights on the most senior Duke Frobert, hoping to get the support of the other party.
"Ten years ago, the insurgent armed activity was so powerful that it swept through more than ten states in the north-central part of the empire. At present, eight and a half states in the central coastal area directly controlled by the empire have experienced the destruction of the insurgent forces."
Duke Frobert briefly described the areas involved in the insurgency, and then said: "The armed insurgency is dominated by indigenous blacks. Of course, there are also many indigenous whites, Indians, and mixed-races who joined the insurgency. After the insurgency occurred, they saw The economic and political damage caused by the insurgent forces to the empire's homeland, some local commanders inevitably made some radical actions, and some of the residents who sympathized with the insurgent forces or because of their skin color were considered to be insurgent accomplices were concentrated and separated.
In times of war, in order to ensure the early end of the counterinsurgency war, it is understandable that local officers have adopted such a part of excessive behavior. However, now that the war is over, the current task of the imperial government should be to make up for the wounds of the war and co-ordinate the development of the economy and the economic stagnation. National life.
Therefore, I believe that for the more than 200,000 people who are detained and separated in a concentrated manner, the principle of leniency should be upheld, some of the criminals who committed major war crimes should be executed, and a group of militants with lesser crimes should be imprisoned. In the name, forgive those who remain to a lesser extent or who are not directly involved in the insurgency. "
"In the Empire-controlled area, the number of blacks and mixed-race blacks is four times that of whites. The forcible execution of all rebel blacks may arouse dissatisfaction among indigenous blacks, but only a portion of the insurgents who have committed serious war crimes and all other insurgents are executed. The leniency and punishment are too light, and I am afraid it will not be effective as a punishment alert. "
Duke Frobert withdrew from the military and served as Prime Minister of the Brazilian Empire. From the perspective of Duke Frobert, he executed the chief evil, dealt with the remaining insurgents with leniency, and stabilized and bridged the ethnic conflicts and hatred in the Brazilian empire as early as possible. The most secure solution, but from the perspective of a senior general, Marshal Garcia, even if he understood that the starting point of the proposal was for the sake of the Brazilian Empire, did not think that Duke Frobert's proposal could spare the army and be implemented.
With the outbreak of the civil war in Brazil, Princess Isabella was able to restore and maintain the eight and a half states in the central coastal region. Although supported by the upper noble classes such as Duke Frobert and Marshal Garcia, it played a decisive role, but it was in Egypt. Bell-led young military officer.
Ebel belongs to the "Brasilia Knights", who was separated from the Brazilian Imperial Captains. In the original history, the Captives who were disappointed with the Brazilian Emperor were drawn by the Republicans and became a vital military force to overthrow the Brazilian Empire. The unexpected rise of the Han Dynasty and the spread of Han ’s military and political ideological trends have affected a group of members of the radical captain ’s school. It is also this group of officers who accepted the new military and political ideology. Followers of military and political thought, and when the Brazilian Civil War broke out, they used the military power in their hands to help Princess Isabella to the throne of the Queen.
As a traditional serviceman of the same age as Duke Frobert, Marshal Garcia, after gradually approaching and understanding the claims of Ebel and others, had reservations about their radical ideas, but faced multiple threats inside and outside the Brazilian Empire, and The fact that the South American country has grown step by step, he also has to admit that the monarchy and military and political system advocated by the young men are a risky road. At the same time, it is the most effective way to restore the situation of the Brazilian Empire .
While tacitly advocating the claim of national salvation, and gradually transferring the power of the imperial army to Ebel, Marshal Garcia, while thinking in favor of the young, was also trying his best to exert his residual heat, bridging the military and political forces of the young and the imperialist political forces Differences and contradictions between the two parties.
"It is very important to restore the empire ’s native economy after the counterinsurgency war, but punishing the armed men involved in the insurgency and giving them the necessary punishment is also a necessary means. Otherwise, the empire mobilized tens of thousands of troops and achieved victory over the past ten years. The result is likely to be that the punishment is relatively light, and it will not be able to give profound lessons and vigilance to those involved in the rebellion, nor will it give a reasonable account of the imperialists who have fought in the front line and left their blood and sacrificed. "
Marshal García is the commander-in-chief of the Army. His words represent the opinions of many officers of the Landing Army. Duke Frobert could not ignore his opinions and forcibly pursue his own ideas.
"There are 70,000 armed personnel directly involved in the rebellion, and 160,000 indirectly or suspected. According to the advice of His Excellency Marshal, what should these people do?"
"The War Department has come up with a preliminary plan for how to deal with the insurgents."
Marshal Garcia waited for the concession of Duke Frobert, and his expression on his face eased a bit. Then he said, "General General Ebel, please replace the Imperial Army and introduce to Her Majesty, the Duke of Iyo and all the important empires who are doing it. A plan for counter-insurgency prepared by the Imperial Army. "
"Observe, Marshal."
Ebel stood up, saluting Queen Isabella and Duke Iyo first, then stood upright, respecting her tone of voice: "Her Majesty, Her Majesty Djo. And everyone who was sitting mentioned the involvement in the insurgency. The ultimate handling of the problem by people did not bypass the early slave trade.
The slave trade was mainly concentrated in the central and coastal areas of the mainland. Before the abolition of the slave trade, there were five large-scale slave trade centers in the country, and three in the empire-controlled area. Sophie and Marseille the fifth,
The number of black people entering the country through the three slave trade centers accounted for about 50% of the annual black import. Therefore, after the outbreak of the domestic civil war, the number of black people in the empire-controlled area accounted for about half of the area occupied by the Republican insurgents in the south. It's twice as high. "
After a rough introduction to the differences in the composition of the ethnic groups in the north and south of Brazil, Ebel continued: "The gap between the total number of blacks and the proportion of blacks and whites in the empire-controlled area and the south is very different. The rebels may adopt a policy of attracting and indulging black insurgents. Temporarily stabilize the situation in the area under control, but in the empire-controlled area, the number of blacks and non-whites is more than four times that of whites. If for short-term economic effects, the necessary punishment for insurgents is abandoned, then when the empire faces an external crisis again, especially It is the republican insurgents in the south, under the guise of black and white equal rights, when attacking the Empire-controlled area, those who have participated in the rebellion and intended to split the country will miss the tolerance and gifts of the imperial government and assist the imperial army to resist the south Are the Republican insurgents offensive? "
"I'm afraid not!"
I didn't wait for others to respond, Ebel gave the answer himself.
"Of course, I have never doubted His Excellency the Prime Minister's loyalty to the empire and the imperial royal family, but only since the establishment of the Brazilian empire by His Majesty Pedro I and his Brazilian subjects, the non-white ethnic group has been stubbornly armed one after another to split the empire. Judging from the insurgency, even giving them greater tolerance and kindness will not replace their gratitude and loyalty to the Empire and Her Majesty! "
Ebel progressed step by step, leading to his own conclusions step by step. In the face of Ebel's righteous speech, other officials, including Duke Frobert, seemed to watch a performance, that is, without interrupting his speech. Of course, no one cooperated.
"It is very unrealistic to execute all the 200,000 black people who are involved in the rebellion and suspected of participating in the rebellion. However, leaving them in the Empire-controlled area and watching them for the potential harm to the Empire is infidelity to the Empire!
Therefore, the most suitable solution is to effectively imitate the empire's former enemies and relocate all the black people who participated in the rebellion and the black people who may participate in the rebellion to their homeland! "
After seeing the poor, Ebel laid the front and back, spoke a lot of words, and finally led to the final disposal plan for those involved in the rebellion.
Hearing Ebel's ultimate intention, Duke Frobert's face showed a disappointed expression.
The idea of ​​where I come from, where I go back, and how to send black people back to their native Africa is not without precedent.
Before the Civil War, the United States also had the idea of ​​repatriating black people. A group of civil society activists spontaneously raised funds to implement the repatriation plan. However, because they did not receive the support of the United States government, the repatriation plan was eventually implemented after more than 20 years. failure.
The situation facing the United States was similar to the situation in the United States. Even because the number of blacks in the area controlled by the Brazilian Empire was too large, the implementation of the repatriation plan for the Black Empire was ten times more difficult than that of the United States.
The Duke of Frobert did not believe that Ebel did not see the difficulty of the repatriation of the blacks, and asked: "Blacks have lived in the empire for hundreds of years. Most of them are considered legal nationals of the Brazilian Empire. The treatment plan will repatriate more than 200,000 black people to Africa. Will those who adhere to the laws of the Empire and not participate in the rebellion consider the treatment plan of the imperial government as discrimination and hostility to them?
Taking a step back, even without considering whether the empire has enough financial strength to support the huge expenditures of the repatriation of more than 200,000 people, it does not consider what the remaining black people in the control area really think about the plan,
是 It is the difficulties involved in carrying out this operation alone. Can the empire solve them one by one? "
"The Marshal and Imperial Staff Headquarters have deduced and responded to every possible situation in the repatriation plan. The concerns of Your Excellency the Prime Minister are also within our response plan."
Eber maintained basic respect on his face, explaining: "The obstacles to the implementation of the repatriation plan may come mainly from the internal and external aspects of the empire.
Inside the empire, after the end of the counterinsurgency war, a small amount of remnants of blacks, Indians, and mestizos were no longer able to attack the core control area of ​​the empire. If the repatriation plan is implemented, the rebellion will erupt again. Based on the experience of the imperialists' rebellion and the absence of the main forces of the insurgency, the imperial army has the ability to quickly suppress the rebellion again.
外部 Outside the Empire,
First of all, based on the experience of the United States in implementing the "Chinese Exclusion Act" and the black-to-African region in the Han Chinese migration control area, the European powers and the United States will not really attack the implementation of the repatriation plan.
Secondly, I would like to emphasize to you that the repatriation plan does not necessarily cost the imperial government's valuable financial revenue. In the name of dispatching labor, more than 200,000 black people are sold to planters in the Portuguese African colonies. It is possible that the cost of labor in the repatriation plan may be offset by the cost of labor. (At this time, the Brazilian royal family and the Portuguese royal family were one and the same, and came from the Brazilian Queen Isabella to contact the Portuguese government to discuss the repatriation plan for black people, which is highly operable.)
Third, after completing the first repatriation of more than 200,000 blacks, the young black forces that constituted the insurgents were further weakened, the control of the imperial government over the areas under control was further strengthened, social security was improved, and land was available By then, the empire's attractiveness to European immigrants will increase, and European immigration import activities that have been interrupted for more than a decade will hopefully be restored. "
Responding to the questions raised by Duke Frobert and introducing the beneficial effects of the resumption of European immigration after the completion of the repatriation of black people, Ebel ended his speech and stood still, waiting in the palace Everyone's response.
The black repatriation plan is a risky move. If you are not careful, the Brazilian empire that has just ended the war will be once again in turmoil. Like the Duke of Frobert, there are not a few officials who are worried about the high risk of the black repatriation plan. After the Duke, several others raised their concerns and opinions ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Marshal Garcia and Ebel knew that the old-fashioned officials who wanted to persuade the empire, accepting their plan was not a simple matter, Therefore, before they formally proposed the motion, they were prepared in advance.
Repeated questions and explanations lasted for more than an hour. When Duke Frobert learned from Ebel's supplements time and time again that the so-called repatriation plan was not a decision made by a temporary rise of the army, he finally gave up. With his own opinions, he reluctantly passed Ebel's proposal.
The black repatriation plan was successfully passed, and Ebel smiled with satisfaction.
It is important to know that from planning the migration of blacks in the control area to the adoption of today's repatriation plan, Ebel and many young military officers have spent nearly a decade.
During the rebellion war, under the pretext of calming the rebellion, the black ethnic groups in the gathering area will be centrally managed and detained. The scope of the rebellion will be intentionally expanded. While conducting the rebellion war, it will also prepare for the repatriation of black people. The ethnic groups who threaten the repatriation plan are controlled and isolated in advance, relying on this precautionary plan learned from the Han Dynasty, Ebel and a group of young Brazilian military officers will have the opportunity to build their own blueprint for the future development of the Brazilian empire. .
It is the first step to expel more than 200,000 black people who participated in or were identified as participating in the rebellion. After the repatriation plan was successful, there will be a second group and a third group of ...
