Thanks to Yunhai Book Travel Poetry Tongzhou for the reward!

Santa Catarina has a population of about 70,000. After the outbreak of the war, some local white residents chose to leave Santa Catarina State for the fear of the Chinese Independence Army. Less than 40,000 people, the rest of the population either left or entered the prison camp of the Chinese Independent Army.

Compared with the occupation of Rio Grande do Sul, the loss of the Chinese Independent Army in Santa Catarina was greater. Until the troops advancing north of Iguazu met the Brazilian garrison, the total number of Chinese Independent Army casualties reached 2,600, of which the offensive The local Brazilian army suffered 2,000 casualties, while the remaining 600 were the number of soldiers killed and attacked by local Brazilians in a small-scale conflict.

The forced eviction of local residents by Riot in Rio Grande do Sul has caused panic and outrage among Brazilians in Santa Catarina. In order to protect their land and property, a large number of young Brazilians have formed a small armed attack on the scattered units of the Chinese Independent Army , Forcing the Chinese Independent Army to send a large number of troops to maintain law and order in the occupied area.

I bid farewell to a group of people participating in the negotiations such as Liu Pu, and Li Mingyuan devoted his energy to clearing up the rebellion by the local rebel forces.

After experiencing the experience of guerrilla forces surrounding Rio Grande do Sul, Li Mingyuan had clear goals and pertinence in the face of the resistance in Santa Catarina.

First of all, the leaders of the resistance are mainly the local landlord class. The Chinese Independent Army entered the state of Santa Catarina. They were the ones with the most damaged interests. They were the white people at the bottom and the landless Indians. They Employed by local landowners and confronted by the Chinese Independent Army.

For the local landlords who dare to resist, there is nothing to destroy them and deprive them of their land and property. As for the bottom Brazilians who have no oil or water, Li Mingyuan has already figured out how to deal with them and pull a batch of them.

I took the initiative to report the rebellion's pardoning their punishment and reward the wealth of the land, while those Brazilians who chose to fight the Chinese Independence Army to the end were completely wiped out and deterred the ordinary residents of the occupied area.

With a big hand and a big carrot, after the elimination of several powerful insurgent forces, Li Mingyuan stopped the policy of maliciously expelling the local residents, and then assured the remaining Brazilians to report and expose the insurgents around them. Your land wealth can not only be Security can also be rewarded by the Chinese Independent Army.

After the new policy was revised, although the local residents did not report the insurgents on a large scale, the security environment in Santa Catarina State has improved a lot, the land wealth of the local residents has been guaranteed, and a batch of insurgents have been executed. It was decided that most people did not dare to risk their lives to help the insurgents, and over time, the days of the insurgents who lost the support of local residents became more and more difficult. One by one, the insurgent forces were surrounded and annihilated by some closely guarded parts. The insurgents volunteered to surrender to the Chinese Independence Army, directed the besiegers to find a place for the insurgents to hide, and then wiped them out.

的 The siege operation that lasted for more than twenty days ended with the surrender of the last batch of insurgent forces, and the local residents who suffered turmoil and fear gradually returned to normal life.

More than 20 days of public security operations wiped out and captured more than 2,000 local Brazilians related to the rebellion. Of the more than 2,000, the Brazilians directly involved in the rebellion accounted for half, and the rest were local residents who helped the insurgents.

Seizing the insurgents, and then directly entering a concentration camp for labor as in Rio Grande do Sul, because Brazil has spread the word through the British protesting the Chinese Independent Army's suppression of ordinary residents, subject to the pressure of Brazil and the British, Li Mingyuan chose to be certain The degree of compromise is not to equate the rebels with prisoners of war, but as punishment for participating in the rebellion, all their land is confiscated and they will be forcibly sent out of Santa Catarina.

Two thousand insurgents were deported, and the population originally living in Santa Catarina once again decreased. Indians and a small number of black slaves were swept away. Only less than 30,000 white and Indian white mixed races remained. The population of the state of Catarina has fallen to an extremely low level.

The forced deportation of local residents has led to resistance from the Brazilians in the area under control and strong protests from the Brazilian empire, but for Li Mingyuan, these costs are worth it. Only by expelling most of the locals can the Chinese occupy the majority and the Chinese independent army rule The foundation can be stable.

The numerous public security operations have ended, and the negotiating team represented by Liu Pu has also returned from Brazil, bringing negotiations and news.

Negotiations were not smooth. The representatives of the five parties bargained for the contents of each agreement. After half a month, they finally reached an agreement that was reluctantly accepted by the parties. There were eight agreements concerning the Chinese Independent Army, as follows:

1.The Brazilian Empire agreed that the Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina states were owned by the Chinese Independent Army. When the area south of Iguazugo was controlled by the Chinese Independent Army, the issue of sovereignty was temporarily suspended. The remaining areas of control were returned to the Brazilian Empire. The front line delimits the border.

2The state of Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina merged into the Principality of Rio Grande do Sul. The Principality of Rio Grande do Sul joins the Brazilian Empire and is an inseparable sacred territory of the Brazilian Empire. At the same time, the Brazilian Empire does not interfere in the internal affairs of the Rio Grande do Sul , Allowing the Duchy of Rio Grande do Sul.

3 released the captured Brazilian soldiers in previous battles and completed within a month.

4 Stop deportation of the local white people. The white people decide whether to leave. If the local white people choose to leave, the Chinese Independence Army needs to pay compensation of not less than 50% of the converted value of the property according to the land property.

5 The Brazilian empire lifted the blockade on the Chinese, and the Chinese Independent Army could buy the required goods and materials from Brazil.

6 The Chinese Independent Army pledged not to conclude military treaties with Brazil against Paraguay, Peru, and Bolivia.

7 Chinese independent quarters returned ten Brazilian navy sailing ships and twelve gunboats,

8 The five countries participating in the peace talks granted Britain the right to free navigation of rivers in their respective areas of control, giving British businessmen the most favourable business rights.

The territorial issue in the eight peace talks is the core of Li Mingyuan's concern. The territorial sovereignty of the two states and the actual control of the south of the Iguazu Basin have just reached the bottom line of the peace talks, and the Principality of Rio Grande do Sul, which belongs to the Brazilian Empire, was not obtained. Independence, but the actual control of the two states is still in the hands of the Chinese Independent Army. As for the restrictions of the Brazilian Empire on the Chinese Independent Army in the name of national sovereignty, Li Mingyuan is not very worried. The Chinese Independent Army continues to maintain sufficient fighting power and deterrence. The Brazilian empire naturally did not dare to act lightly, and the establishment of an independent country was not a problem. If the strength of its independent army declined, Brazil had an excuse to deal with the Chinese, so it did not care about one more excuse.

After carefully reading all the contents of the agreement, Li Mingyuan laughed and said, "Brother Liu is exhausted, reached a peace talks agreement with the Brazilians, and made great contributions to the Chinese independent army. I have to host a banquet to treat Brother Liu well."

"The son of the world is so famous that they can reach an agreement because the brothers hurt the Brazilians, so they are willing to give in to compromise, otherwise it will not be of much use to rely on the next person."

朴 Liu Pu's words are humble, but in her eyes she is satisfied and happy.

Xu encouraged Liu Pu, and Li Mingyuan began to ask questions related to the peace talks.

"The Brazilian empire considers itself a hegemony in South America and wants them to recognize that the Chinese Independent Army's sovereignty over the two southern states is not easy?"

"It is true. The request made by the representative of Brazil at the beginning was to recognize only the state of Rio Grande do Sul, and all other regions belong to the Brazilian side.

The Brazilian braced his face and refused to compromise, and naturally he would not be polite to him. He immediately stated at the negotiating table that the Chinese Independent Army would not give up an inch of the occupied land. If the Brazilians did not agree, the Chinese Independent Army would continue Moving forward, naval forces will also shell the Brazilian capital, Rio de Janeiro. "

"Well, negotiating is bargaining. Our military strength is temporarily superior. It is not a waste to use our superiority to press the Brazilians to bow their heads." Li Mingyuan nodded in agreement.

"Oh, my staff said that there was a moment of anger." Liu Puzhen smiled, and then said, "The Brazilian representative heard the words of his staff through an interpreter and immediately threatened to launch a counterattack against our army, shouting to drive the Chinese independent army out. The land of Brazil. Look at his look and anger as if Brazil is the winner.

The representative of Brazil refused to relax. According to the agreement reached with the representatives of Paraguay, Peru and Bolivia in advance, his post resolutely refuted the conditions proposed by the Brazilians.

The Brazilian representative did not gain an advantage in the initial negotiations. During the intermission, he tried to defeat each other and negotiated with the representatives of the other three countries in private. However, because the three parties in Paraguay, Bolivia, and Peru also understood that it was not the time to divide, they did not reach an agreement with the Brazilian. "

没有 None of the characters who can take charge of a country is a fool. Seeing that they must win victory, even if there are various contradictions between the Quartet forces, they still need to be united when facing common enemies. Li Mingyuan understands this truth, and the Peruvian three countries are as clear.

"There was more than ten days of noisy talks at the negotiating table. No agreement was reached. The British first intervened in the Brazilians, forcing Brazil to cancel the unreasonable requirements. Then we and Paraguay, Peru, and Bolivia also lowered the requirements and finally reached an agreement.

Peru and Bolivia relinquished half of the occupied land and returned it to Brazil, while Paraguay retained the western region of Mato Grosso, in exchange for Brazil to provide Paraguay with some food supplies to alleviate the food shortage in Paraguay. "

After introducing the content of the peace talks between the three countries and Brazil ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Liu Pu took out a note from his body and said happily, "In order to obtain the two southern states and the area south of the Iguazu River, he transferred to other occupied areas. And captives, some warships to Brazil.

Our army conceded a large number of benefits to promote the success of the peace talks. It is impossible to obtain only the right to control the land on the surface. There are also some agreements that are signed in private, all on this paper. "

Li Mingyuan took the paper and quickly read the above content, saying, "We don't lose money for sugar and food in exchange for sailing warships. As long as the iron armored ship is in our hands, maritime safety can be guaranteed. As for the transportation of Chinese workers from Cuba in the name of the Brazilians, Isn't it appropriate? "

"Shizi rest assured that although the Chinese workers are transported in the name of the Brazilians, each transport ship will send our own people to monitor the whole process, and the exchange of prisoners of war and the transportation of Chinese workers will be carried out in batches. The Brazilians will ship a group of Chinese workers and we will hand over a batch of prisoners of war. "

The Chinese Independent Army was temporarily settled, but it was not easy to deal with Chinese workers directly with the Spanish colonies, so finding a third party as an intermediary was a last resort at this stage.

The Chinese Independent Army has a large number of prisoners of war. The Brazilians hope to return to the prisoners of war to increase Brazil's national defense force. With the supervision of Chinese soldiers on board, the safety of Chinese workers can be guaranteed. ) !!
