Chapter 199: Military and political separation

"The focus of our next phase of operations will be shifted to competing with the Argentine forces for control of the northern region. The goal of the operation is to achieve the fight against Hu of Formosa Province, Cortez Province, Chaco Province, and Salta Province, around 1871. The actual occupation of the five northern provinces, including the province of Jui.
Therefore, in combating the Brazilian empire, our army will take a defensive position within two years. If the Army forces stationed at Invia Naval Base and Yongan (Bage) are to closely monitor the actions of the opposing Brazilian army, they cannot create provocative warfare for the Brazilian army. Opportunity. After deciding to go to the meeting to meet with Lopez Jr., Li Mingyuan began to arrange the follow-up actions of the National Defense Forces.
"His Royal Highness, what should our army do if the Brazilian army crosses the border?"
Li Sandou, who had just returned from Yongan County to report, asked.
"After General Luo's march into northern Argentina, I will transfer the second mixed brigade of Captain Zhou Brigade to reinforce Yongan County. When encountering unreasonable picks from Brazilian troops, you should not be jealous and beat them back fiercely."
Li Mingyuan glanced at the Rio Grande do Sul area with Yu Guang, and continued, "Master Li, when the troops and the Brazilian army are in conflict, you must hold your own. You must both hurt the provocative Brazilian troops and control the conflict to a certain extent. "The conflict cannot be expanded into a full-scale war, affecting our army's core strategy in northern Argentina."
"When a conflict breaks out, the staff will discuss countermeasures with the combat staff in the army and will not act blindly."
Li Sandou said.
"Brazil matters must be handled with care. During my attendance at Lopez Jr., if something unexpected happens, you must report to Chief of Staff Liu and General Chen before making a decision."
Attending the four-nation conference hosted by Lopez Jr. meant that Li Mingyuan had to stay in Paraguay for at least ten days. As for the affairs during this period, Li Mingyuan was handed over to Liu Pu and Chen Guozhu respectively.
The Chinese stalls in South America have grown larger, and it is obviously not appropriate to hand over South Rio Grande's affairs to Liu Pu alone, so this time he left the country briefly, and the military affairs were assigned to Chen Guozhu, with Zhang Ansong to assist ,
In political affairs, Liu Pu continues to be managed, with Zhao Yan as his deputy.
Li Mingyuan divided the duties originally responsible for Liu Pu to others, and Liu Pu himself was not dissatisfied, because in the past year or so, Chinese and Chinese businessmen have been coming to Rio Grande do Sul from the Caribbean and Nanyang. Apart from sailors who run ships for foreign shipowners, and Chinese pirates who make their living by going to sea, most of them are British colonial Chinese businessmen who have traveled to the world to do business. Their arrival has provided much-needed administrative and management talent for South Rio Grande, greatly enriching them. The ruling structure of Rio Grande do Sul.
Western countries such as the United Kingdom and the Netherlands seized colonies in order to plunder economic interests. Unlike the Netherlands, which is weak in primary school and worried about increasing Chinese power in the colonies and threatening their rule, the British have established the world ’s first hegemonic position in the British Empire. The Chinese businessmen who have done business in various colonies have adopted a supportive attitude. The economic status of the Chinese businessmen in the Straits colonies and the East Malaysian colonies has been strong, and the status of the Chinese in the later generations is higher than the Chinese status in Indonesia. Different results.
Rio Grande do Sul has a development policy that places equal emphasis on business and industry. In order to attract funds from Chinese businessmen, it has formulated many immigration policies that are beneficial to Chinese businessmen. Thanks to the Manchu government ’s non-recognition of overseas Chinese and the repeated victory of Chinese troops in the war Some successful Chinese businessmen began to set up business bases in Rio Grande do Sul, and some were very optimistic about the prospects of Rio Grande do Sul transferred most of their properties to Rio Grande do Sul, and used years of commercial experience in business The ministry seeks an official post.
In the past year or so, the number of Chinese businessmen who have volunteered to Rio Grande do Sul more than 2,000, and as Rio Grande do more and more stable, this number continues to increase.
Of the more than 2,000 Chinese who have run freely, the number of Chinese businessmen has reached more than 600. Of course, about 500 of these Chinese businessmen rely on craftsmanship to live or sell on the streets of the British colonies. Their net worth is deducting ships. After paying the fee, the remaining money can probably buy 30 acres of land in Rio Grande do Sul.
Thirty acres of land were formulated in accordance with the criteria for land awarded by Cuban Chinese workers. Even those Chinese who have paid for themselves at their own expense have extra money, they can only be limited to 30 acres when they first purchase land.
The development of Rio Grande do Sul is not only for capital, but also for industrial technology and high-quality human resources.
Thirty acres of land can ensure that the first generation of Chinese immigrants can live on adequate clothing and food, and can also mobilize the enthusiasm of immigrants for more land and a better life.
Rio Grande do Sul has restrictions on the purchase of land by small Chinese vendors with limited net worth, but this does not stop their enthusiasm for buying land, because in the colonies where they live, the land they acquire, although it belongs to them in name, is essentially land Ownership is in the hands of white colonists. White colonists' orders can not only make them completely deprived of their lives, but even their lives may be threatened. The massacres in Indonesia and Manila occurred shortly after, and indigenous people in the British colonies launched attacks against Chinese people. All these made the overseas Chinese and Chinese businessmen scared and frightened. They were always worried about their own safety. In the eyes of overseas Chinese, even if they have thousands of acres of good land overseas, they are still living in the local area. They can only return to their hometown or to a country that is entirely Chinese. A sense of security.
As the only Chinese country outside the mainland, Rio Grande do Sul is naturally attractive to overseas Chinese.As for the Lanfang company on the island of Kalimantan, it is only a colony affiliated with the Netherlands, and the local economy and politics are controlled by the Dutch. Lanfang's is nothing more than a puppet of the Dutch.
After more than 500 small Chinese merchants arrived in Rio Grande do Sul, most of them resumed their old business and continued to make a living from their original craftsmanship.
More than 500 small vendors accounted for a small proportion of the 300,000 population, but their arrival filled a vacancy in the business of Rio Grande do Sul. In the vast countryside of Rio Grande do Sul, carried on their backs and pushed by carriages The small vendors walked through the villages that were dozens of miles apart, bringing the necessary daily necessities to the Chinese in the village, and some small clothes and toys for the newborns.
Small vendors and artisans who travel and do business meet the living needs of Chinese immigrants, activate local economic activities, and make closer connections between Chinese immigrants scattered in various regions.
At first, the small Chinese merchants followed those wealthy Chinese merchants to emigrate to Rio Grande do Sul, and most of the more than one hundred Chinese entrepreneurs with a fortune had been recommended by Liang Xing and decided to abandon the colonial industry and choose to emigrate .
Liang Xing had been doing business in Nanyang and the Caribbean for many years. He had some friendship with the Chinese people who did business in various places. In addition, he was given the heavy responsibility by Li Mingyuan after joining the National Defense Forces. Encouraged by Liang Xing's appearance example, Chinese businessmen made up their minds to sell their properties in the colonies and migrate to Rio Grande do Sul.
Most of the successful Chinese businessmen have some background in reading. Simple literacy and experience in managing workers' estates are conducive to their handling of local affairs. Therefore, more than 70 of the more than 100 people have been selected to serve as deputies of central government officials and local officials. The principal officials such as the central principal and local county heads are served by old subordinates who follow Li Mingyuan.
Government officials are gradually enriched, and various things need to be dealt with. Therefore, before Li Mingyuan was about to leave Rio Grande do Sul, Liu Pu raised some issues that needed to be solved by Li Mingyuan himself.
"His Royal Highness, Rio Grande do Sul has 310,000 people on the list, and 30,000 Brazilians who are not naturalized. The two new settlements have a population of more than 30,000, which meets the criteria for an independent county. Planning the administrative structure of Rio Grande do Sul, adding two new counties? "
"Which two regions meet the criteria for a county?"
"Zoinvia has a population of 36,000 and Floriano has a population of 34,000, both of which meet the county standards."
"Zoinvia and Florida are two of the Navy's most important military bases. Establishing a county can remove civil liability from military tasks and facilitate the Navy's unified wisdom and management."
Li Mingyuan pointed out the benefits of setting up a new county and agreed with Liu Pu's suggestion that "the establishment of counties in the two places can be implemented, but considering the importance of the two places as naval naval ports, more consideration should be given when selecting the county heads of the two places. The issue of coordination with naval naval ports. "
"The candidates of the two counties and counties will communicate with the Navy in advance."
After answering Liu Pu, he continued, "The administrative framework of the government has been set up. Except for the cabinet and the twelve directors who have not appointed candidates due to inappropriate timing, the deputy officials of various ministries and local county heads have arranged properly.
The post thinks that the government has primary administrative processing capabilities, and local counties and ministries can handle government affairs independently, and it is untimely for some army officers to concurrently serve as civil affairs officials. The post recommends separation of military and political affairs, and some concurrent officers either leave the army and transfer Government officials will either resign from part-time civil official positions and return to the army for service.
The separation of military and political affairs should be done sooner rather than later. When the country was founded, the army and government officials were absent, and the staff and some brothers had to hold both positions. Now the time is ripe. The staff hopes to resign from the position of chief of staff and concentrate on assisting his highness in politics. Government affairs, look forward to His Royal Highness. "
"" I have also considered the separation of military and political affairs, but because of the change in northern Argentina, the separation of military and political affairs has been delayed. Now the brothers Liu first mentioned it, and it will be resolved at one time.
First of all, I agreed with Brother Liu to withdraw from the army to engage in administrative work. However, Brother Liu should not be too busy transferring the affairs of the army. During my trip to Paraguay, I would also assume the post of chief of staff and make arrangements when the fighting in northern Argentina comes to fruition. "
"Thank Your Highness Eunjeong."
"Does Brother Liu have anything else to say?"
"Everything you have to say is finished." Liu Pu shook her head with a smile.
"The suggestions from Brother Liu are good ~ EbookFREE.me ~ I will add one more now.
The Military Academy is an institution set up during the Peruvian Uprising. After entering Rio Grande do Sul, the Military Academy still follows the army. I think this situation should be changed.
Western countries have military schools that specialize in training officers. Listening to intelligence reports, Japan also established a military school called the Kyoto Military Academy last year.
The Rio Grande South was killed by the brothers. In military education, we cannot lag behind other countries. Therefore, the camp school cannot follow the troops back and forth. I plan to transfer the troops from the camp school in Xinjing (Areg Ligang) established a special military school to train outstanding commanders for the entire army. "
"His Highness, the establishment of a military academy requires the selection of outstanding officers from the army. Our army is currently under pressure from the Brazilian army. Northern Argentina also needs a large number of outstanding officers to go to the front line to work. Will it be possible to reduce the combat effectiveness of the army by selecting officers from the army at this time?
"Sending some officers as military academy instructors has a certain impact on the combat effectiveness of the army. But don't worry, the first batch of officers to be transferred are mainly the instructors of the original camp school, and the impact on the combat effectiveness of the army is within control."
