Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In this world war, China gained a large amount of territory and overseas colonies!  The territory annexed to the empire alone amounts to more than 25 million square kilometers!  Moreover, most of these areas are sparsely populated.  In order to relieve domestic population pressure and ensure the empire's rule over these newly incorporated territories, after the Lunar New Year in 1914, the imperial government had begun to prepare for immigration!

    "Your Majesty, after preparations, the imperial cabinet has come up with the initial immigration plan! In the next five years, the empire will immigrate 200 million people to the newly merged territories of the empire, which is equivalent to one-third of the current total population of the empire! Among them!  , 40 million people will immigrate to North America, 30 million people will immigrate to Australia, 5 million people will immigrate to the Siberian Plain and the Volga River Basin, and the remaining population will immigrate to India! In April, the immigration plan will be officially launched. This year  Within a year, we will first immigrate 20 million people to the above-mentioned areas!" Cabinet Prime Minister Wu Tingfang reported to Wang Yuze!

    ¡°What is the public¡¯s reaction to this large-scale immigration?¡± Wang Yuze asked.  Chinese people are very fond of leaving their homeland. No matter how difficult it is, they are still willing to stay in their hometown. Even if they go out to travel, they still long to return to their roots when they grow old!  Many people would not want to leave their hometowns unless they really couldn't survive.  Now the living standards of the people in the empire have improved a lot than before. Compared with the late Qing Dynasty, one is in the sky and the other is in the underground.  Under such circumstances, everyone is not so active in immigrating to the new territories of the empire overseas!  And Wang Yuze is unwilling to use coercive means to promote this immigration, which will make it very difficult for all immigrants!

    "Your Majesty, in general, the public's response is quite normal! Although many older people are unwilling to leave their homeland! However, young people still hope to go out and explore! Besides, in order to increase everyone's enthusiasm, this time the government has formulated  According to the new immigration standards, every imperial citizen who immigrated to the new territory will receive two hundred acres of land for free! Minors under the age of eighteen will receive half of the land, but after they reach adulthood, they will receive two hundred acres of land.  Land! This is a big temptation for the people of the empire! In addition, in the past two years, many people who immigrated to Nanyang or other regions have returned to their hometowns to visit relatives, which has caused great harm to the people of the empire who stayed in the country.  What a shock! Under such circumstances, everyone¡¯s enthusiasm for immigration has been stimulated!¡± Wu Tingfang said with a smile!

    As early as after China occupied Nanyang, it began to organize people to immigrate and gave them very generous treatment!  The soil in the Nanyang region is fertile and can be cultivated at all times. The hard-working imperial people are much more diligent than the lazy Nanyang natives, which allows them to harvest more from these fertile lands!  Coupled with the empire's large-scale promotion of mechanized farming, almost every immigrant family has formed a small farm with several hundred acres. This has brought about a dramatic change in everyone's income!  Although more and more grain is produced, the government protects grain prices and spends a lot of money to increase food reserves for war preparations during good years, so that these farmers do not have to worry about losing money.  A few years later, these immigrant farmers have basically made a lot of money.  Chinese people have a habit of saying that if you don¡¯t return home if you are wealthy, you will be like walking in brocade at night!  Therefore, before the war broke out, many people in the empire who had already made a fortune began to return to the country from overseas to worship their ancestors or visit relatives and friends. This greatly stimulated those who did not participate in immigration.  Although the living standards of domestic people have improved a lot, they obviously cannot compare with those of overseas farmers!  This makes the people of the empire have great expectations for the next immigration of the empire!

    "That's good! Except for the provinces in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River, people from other provinces in the empire have adopted a voluntary approach to immigrate! Only in this way will everyone truly appreciate the empire!" Wang Yuze said!  Although China has conquered huge territories, if there is no one to enrich these territories, it will not be able to effectively rule these territories!  Although the current immigrants are basically agricultural people, once the agricultural population passes, industry and commerce will slowly develop, thus creating a lot of wealth for the empire, and will also allow China to strengthen its control over these territories!  Of course, if those immigrants do not come over willingly, it will have the opposite effect!  Of course, the provinces in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River are exceptions. The soil erosion in the Loess Plateau is so serious that it has caused serious hidden dangers to the downstream areas!  Therefore, most of the people on the Loess Plateau will immigrate overseas, and then start planting trees to conserve water and soil. This will help protect the environment!  After years of hard work, the water in the Yellow River is no longer muddy yellow. Although it has not completely returned to clear water, it is no longer the state of a bowl of water and half a bowl of mud!  I believe that as long as you continue to work hard, you will eventually see results!

    "According to the plan proposed by the cabinet this time, we will immigrate about 120 million people to northern India! Over thereHas all the land been cleared?  "Wang Yuze asked. India's Asan has a population of more than 300 million, which is already half of China's population! The fertile northern part of the Indian peninsula is the main settlement area of ????Indians. Now these territories belong to China and have been incorporated into it.  have entered China, and those Indian Asans will naturally be cleared out! However, it is necessary to expel almost 200 million Indians to the southern part of the Indian Peninsula. This is a huge project!

    "Your Majesty, the military has almost completed the cleanup of Indians in northern India! There are probably less than 20 million Indians in the Indus and Ganges provinces that currently belong to the empire! The rest have been forcibly relocated  Arrived in the southern part of the Indian Peninsula! The remaining 20 million Indians will be cleared out in three months!" Marshal Cai Yun, Chief of General Staff, replied!  After conquering India, the Chinese military has already begun to forcibly relocate Indians to make room for the upcoming Chinese immigrants!

    Wang Yuze nodded. He believed the answer given by Marshal Cai Yun, Chief of General Staff!  After the victory on the Indian battlefield, the three main armies of the Chinese Army were transferred to the Siberian Plains to fight.  However, there are still dozens of second-line troops of infantry divisions left in India!  In addition, there are millions of mercenaries in Japan and North Korea. There should be no problem in dealing with those unarmed Indian Asans!

    Of course, in this process of forced migration, many stubborn Indians must have paid a heavy price!  However, Wang Yuze doesn't care at all!  Wang Yuze has never had a good impression of these delicious and lazy Indian assans!  Wang Yuze wanted to wipe that country from the face of the earth that would later have a vaster arable land area than China, and a smaller population than China, but could not even be self-sufficient in food, and would often launch provocations at the border.  !  However, that would be almost impossible in later generations, but now, this seems to be no longer a problem at all!

    In Wang Yuze's plan, more than 200 million and nearly 300 million Indian Asans were forcibly relocated to the barren southern part of the Indian Peninsula. The food production there simply could not meet the consumption of these Indians. Coupled with ethnic and religious conflicts, it can be expected that  , the entire Indian peninsula will be filled with blood.  By then, the number of Asan in India will definitely plummet!  By then, China will occupy the fertile land in the northern part of the Indian Peninsula forever!

    Of course, what the imperial government did on the Indian Peninsula also aroused strong repercussions internationally!  Those Westerners who claim to be democratic and righteous continue to criticize the empire as committing genocide against Indians.  However, this does no harm to the empire at all!  As long as the imperial government's actions are beneficial to the people of the empire and can win the support of the people of the empire, that is enough!  As for other outsiders, they are chattering and are of no use to the empire!  In the eyes of the people of the empire, it is completely natural that the imperial government and army try their best to open up living space for the people of the empire!

    In mid-February 1914, after the Lantern Festival, the imperial government began a new round of immigration propaganda!  Detailed information on the Empire's Icefield Province, Overseas Province, Australia Province, Indus Province, Ganges Province and Siberia Province has been distributed to all parts of the Empire!  For the people of the empire to learn about these areas.  Then, the people of the empire can choose the provinces to immigrate to according to their own requirements!  After selection, they will be reported to governments at all levels. After summary, immigration will begin one after another according to the plan.  According to the imperial government's plan, the first batch of immigrants will set off from the empire in May at the latest!  They would travel by train and ship to these new territories of the Empire and then put down roots here!

    In order to prevent the immigrants from the empire from selling the land immediately after acquiring the land, and then returning to the country!  The imperial government specifically stipulated that the land acquired through immigration could only be sold after ten years of cultivation!  And, when selling, you need to report it to the local government!  After implementing this method, some people who wanted to make money by immigrating and selling their land immediately gave up, and the rest were those who really wanted to go overseas!

    Not only have many people signed up in rural areas, but many young people in cities have also responded. They are also very interested in becoming farmers or ranchers!  Farmers and ranchers earn much more than most city dwellers!  (To be continued.
