Chapter 290: Post-war development

The whole of Argentina is mainly a temperate climate, and it is hotter near the northern tropic line.
But there is no true tropical zone with an average annual temperature above 20, and the south is very cold, but there is no true cold zone with an average below -20. In the hottest northeast of Argentina, there is still a frost period of nearly a month, and in the coldest Tierra del Fuego, there is also a frost-free period of one month. July is the coldest, January is the hottest, and the maximum and minimum temperatures vary greatly from north to south. Buenos Aires and its surrounding areas, the most densely populated, have an annual average temperature of 16 ° C, no severe cold and summer, and excellent natural conditions.
Half of Argentina's land is arable land and pastures, and the most developed area of ​​agriculture and animal husbandry is the famous Pampas Plain. From the central coast to the Andes foothills, it stretches more than half a million square kilometers. The land is moist and fertile. Flat and plentiful rainfall, it can be called the most superior agricultural and pastoral area in the world.
Riding freely in the middle of the Pampas Plain, going out hundreds of kilometers, almost no change in scenery, all you can see are the farmland and pastures that you can't see.
The combined fleets of the United Kingdom and Brazil continue to impose maritime blockades on the National Defense Forces on the eastern Atlantic coast. In the vast inland areas of southern Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina, the established formal armed forces of Argentina and Uruguay no longer exist and are dispersed. Under the strike of the Han National Armed Forces, the scattered soldiers Youyong of various places and subordinates gradually died out.
Beginning in mid-July, the British Expeditionary Fleet successively withdrew its army troops stationed at the Argentine coastal port bases such as Buenos Aires and La Plata, abandoning its plans for armed intervention in the Argentine war.
With the British Expeditionary Force withdrawing from the coastal areas and the remnants of Argentina's remaining resistance forces looming, La Plata has lost the conditions for another war. Therefore, Li Mingyuan and a group of Han government officials began to prepare for a series of aftermath of the war.
The first is the issue of rewards for meritorious service and support for former volunteers. According to the statistics of the Military Affairs Office of the General Staff, during the Argentine War, the Han government mobilized a total of 470,000 people to participate in front-line combat and logistics transportation, including 270,000 front-line combat troops.
Including the 200,000 person-times of the National Defense Forces, 70,000 of the armed forces and 200,000 of the former volunteers.
Senior generals are awarded knighthoods based on merit. Among them, Luo Linshan and Liu Yongfu are among the ranks and above, and Ye Chenglin and Chen Zongbai are also given hereditary counts for their outstanding merit.
The founding of the noble title for the first time in Han Dynasty was strict. Except Li Sandou, Chen Guozhu, and Zhang Ansong, who were loyal to the prince and son for more than ten years, they were awarded the hereditary marquis. There are only 12 hereditary counts, including nine from the army, including Luo Linshan, Zhao Yongzeng, Wang Dashan, Wang Xiaoshan, Li Dawei, Liu Yongfu, Ye Chenglin, Chen Zongbai, Wu Fengdian, and two navies: Chen Sen and Li Han, a civilian: Liu Pu.
Sixteen hereditary viscounts: Chen Shangfa, Li Dawei, Luo Zhongguo, Feng Guoan, Qiu Mingzhang, Sun Bin, Zhao Yan, Feng Changqing, He Yanliang, Chen Jinzhong, Hu Yaji, etc.
Twenty hereditary barons: Shen Fushan, Liang Xing, Mei Dongxing, etc.
The hereditary duke is not granted for the time being. Once the list of 51 hereditary titles including hereditary princes, uncles, sons, and males has been announced, there will be excitement and loss.
Those who are under the title of knights have higher expectations for their own titles, but they are not disappointed because the aristocratic title is present, and those who are qualified to compete for the aristocratic title, but can only lose one side because of insufficient credit, and regret that they have not grasped their achievements Opportunity, while secretly gritting his teeth, hoping to set up a war early and get what he wants the next time he conferred.
The high-ranking generals stared at the noble titles, and ordinary officers and soldiers and former supporters were looking forward to getting the government-rewarded land into their hands as soon as possible.
Argentina has a land area of ​​2.78 million square kilometers. One third of the country's total area is covered by forests, with 39 million hectares of developable forests. The well-known agricultural and animal husbandry conditions of the famous Pampas Great Plains are rare in the world: black soil rich in humus, suitable gas
Mild precipitation, spring crops and autumn harvests, good results are also obtained without fertilization or irrigation.
Argentina had a population of 1.7 million before the war. After the war, due to war death, disease, hunger, and fleeing foreign countries, the remaining population was about 1.3 million. Of the 1.3 million people, less than 3% of the population owns 53% of agricultural land.
The war has the greatest influence on these large farmers. Before and during the war, some experienced or timid farmers sold their farms for a low price, and others were too late to give up their homes based on the principle of safety first. The farm fled abroad, or stayed in place, waiting for the final decision of the National Defense Forces.
Compared with those who fled or sold the farm at a lower price, those who chose to stay accounted for a larger proportion. In the face of the remaining white farmers, according to the laws formulated by the Han Dynasty, more timely and honest people will come out. The land will be handed over to the government for processing, and the Han government will also give them a way to live, and those farmers who collude with the local resistance or are unwilling to hand over the land beyond the stipulations will all be charged with opposing the government and conspiring to rebel. Confiscation of all land and property.
Forced deterrence and disobedience to government orders were dealt with immediately. After hundreds of incidents of armed suppression, a rare scene of tranquility appeared throughout the Pampas plains, which had previously trapped Spanish colonists and the ranchers of the Argentine federal government. The problem was solved in just a few months under the blood.
Pieces of fertile land were taken over by the government, and then allocated to meritorious soldiers and former supporters in an efficient manner.
The field army and the security forces, according to the number of years of service and the amount of credit during the war, each officer and soldier can obtain land ranging from ten acres to fifty acres, while the former volunteers can usually get ten acres of land.
Used in Argentina since the 1870s
Agricultural machinery. In July 1879, most parts of the Pampas Plain were mechanized, arable land, seeding, weeding, harvesting
Cut until threshing and drying, all using machinery.
Because there are many people and few people in Argentina, farming and animal husbandry rotation is generally practiced in Argentina, planting crops for several years, or adopting fallow farming. This way, land restoration is extremely fast, and fertilization is rarely required.
The area currently controlled by the Republic of Korea includes the two southern states of Brazil, the entire territory of Argentina, the entire territory of Uruguay, and the Patagonia region of southern Chile. The total area of ​​the country exceeds 3.4 million square kilometers. Of the total population of the Han country, the Chinese include the naturalized Annan. , North Korea, white women, newborns, with a total population of about 6 million, Argentina, Uruguay and other places totaling 1.6 million whites and 100,000 Indians.
Counting the total number of people, the population in the Han-controlled area is only 7.7 million, and 7.7 million people have spread to 3.4 million square kilometers of land in La Plata. The per capita land area is more than in the United States, which is regarded as God ’s darling. .
In the La Plata area, there is ample land for the Chinese people who set up abroad. Whether it is now or decades after the birth of Chinese newborns, Li Mingyuan does not need to worry about land issues.
However, in order to improve the future development of the Han country and reduce unnecessary waste of resources and manpower, Li Mingyuan, after consulting the officials of Liu Pu and Zhao Yan, announced that he would allow each Chinese family in the local area (two states in southern Brazil) to acquire a new occupied area. No more than 300 acres of land, and encourage local and army officers and men to move to the sparsely populated Patagonian wasteland. For Chinese families who actively sign up to move to Patagonia, the government not only sells 500 acres at a nominal price. Land, and they will also be provided with free cattle and sheep livestock and agricultural equipment.
The government's policy of encouraging Chinese families to relocate to the newly occupied area has caused a huge wave of migration in South America.
At the end of July 1879, a total of 1.1 million people from 300,000 families signed up to participate in immigration activities in the occupied area. By the end of August, the number of Chinese participating in immigration activities exceeded 2 million and continued to increase.
At the beginning of September, when the Far East continent was in the early cold of autumn, the Pampas Plain of South America had ushered in a warm spring.
The first group of 150,000 migrants set off from Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, along the Parana River to the Pampas plains in central La Plata to settle in.
Riding on horseback, across the green plains, a humble settlement of immigrants appeared.
The fat buffalo chewed the grass leisurely on the grass. A group of hundreds of goats crouched under the tree, making a few screams from time to time. A few four or five-year-old children hid behind the adults and naughtily raised them. The stream at your feet is playing.
Argentine guerrillas in the surrounding mountains and forests on the edge of the Pampas grasslands, on the outskirts of Cordoba, were completely wiped out in the siege half a month ago. Therefore, the newly immigrated Chinese families lost their initial vigilance and worry. In the tense gap of building a new home, I also took a break to enjoy a rare happy time.
"His Royal Highness, walk 10 kilometers ahead is the Primero River. The senior official of the Province of Cordoba, Urquisa, originally planned to build a dam on the river, but because of the turbulent situation in Argentina, plans to build the dam have been put on hold."
After handling the local affairs, Liu Pu and other government officials relocated the government office address to Cordoba in central Argentina in accordance with Li Mingyuan's order.
Cordoba is the second largest city in Argentina and the capital of the province of Cordoba. Located on the eastern foot of the Cordoba Mountains, on the banks of the Primeros. 425 meters above sea level. The climate is warm and dry with an average annual temperature of 17 ° C and an average annual rainfall of 625 mm. The surrounding area is fertile and rich in mineral resources. It is an important central hub city in Argentina.
Within the Han-controlled area, the important central cities are Xinjing (Port Alegre), Buenos Aires, Rosario, and Cordoba.
Xinjing is the temporary capital of the seat of the central government of Han Dynasty, but considering that Xinjing is near the sea and is too close to Brazil, it is not suitable as the official capital of Han Dynasty.
Buenos Aires is the most prosperous city in the La Plata area. Before Argentina died, half of its population was distributed around Buenos Aires. When planning the future capital construction, consider Buenos Aires is near the La Plata estuary. During the war, it was vulnerable to adverse factors of maritime attacks by hostile countries. Liu Pu, Chen Jinzhong, Luo Linshan, Hu Yaji and other government officials and military generals did not agree to use it as a country. capital.
Excluding Shinkyo and Buenos Aires, Rosario and Cordoba are the only places that are more suitable as capitals.
Rosario is backed by the Parana River, with convenient transportation and good natural environment. Cordoba is located in central Argentina. The railway opened to traffic in 1869 connects Cordoba with the central and eastern coastal areas, shortening The distance and time of Cordoba to the various places.
Cordoba and Rosario are suitable for the function of the capital in terms of national defense security and natural environment. Considering the future expansion of the Han country, Li Mingyuan finally decided to make Cordoba the new capital of the Han country, Rosa. Leo and Buenos Aires exist as first-level administrative districts under central jurisdiction.
Cordoba is closer to the western side of the Andes than Chile to Rosario, and Paraguay and Bolivia in the north ~ EbookFREE.me ~ In the planning of Li Mingyuan, Cordova will be used as the starting point to build Railroads that cross the Andes, with Mendoza and San Salvador as transit stations, and when the time is right, connect the two railroads to Valparaiso and Antofagasta on the Chilean side, and further To achieve the purpose of controlling Chile and opening up the two oceans.
Cordoba's decision as a new capital has been confirmed. Li Mingyuan and his team visited the outskirts of Cordoba to prepare for the planning of the capital's functional areas.
"The domestic population is growing rapidly. Considering the population changes in the next 100 years, the capital urban area should plan to accommodate the population of more than two million people when planning."
Li Mingyuan tightened the reins and sat on the horse. "The supply of food and living supplies for millions of people is a big problem. The area of ​​arable land in Cordoba is limited. To ensure the normal supply of food and living supplies, Primoro It is necessary to build dams on the river to provide water for agricultural arable land and industrial chemical plants.
Mr. Liu Pu and Mr. Hu, various government departments have come up with a charter, and it is best to form an executable plan by the end of this year. "
"When the Argentines planned to build the dam, they had probed the various sections of the Primero river. His staff wanted to cooperate with the National Defense Forces to identify those who had participated in the dam project from the captured Argentine officials."
"Yes, General Luo, deployed a group of staff to assist Liu Puzhen to identify Argentine officials involved in the dam construction plan."
Li Mingyuan nodded and instructed Luo Linshan.
"The captured Argentine officials are all locked in the city, and when they return, they will arrange to obey the command of Lord Liu." ...
