Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 548 Get Ready
"If a war breaks out in Europe, especially if the Western Qing Dynasty is raging, I am afraid that there will be a large number of refugees in Europe, and our place will become a major destination."

On the boulevard in the city park, Bu An and Yue Shenglong, the division commander of the 62nd Division of the Ming Army, who was in charge of the defense of North American overseas territories, were taking a walk.

Strictly speaking, Bu An, the governor-general, cannot mobilize the Ming Army, and the Ming Army receives orders from the Ministry of War.As the governor and minister of the North American Overseas Territory, Bu An can mobilize the North American garrison troops and the escort militia organization.

Bu'an himself is a bureaucrat who was born as a big escort, and he is very familiar with escort groups.Up to now, in the inland area of ​​the vast and wild North American continent, at least 10,000+ bodyguards are still active. The bodyguard groups survive in their own way, establishing small strongholds, and finally these small strongholds become real villages or even towns. The colonial scope of Ming Dynasty is so expanded.

Yue Shenglong said to Bu An: "The Ministry of War has issued a series of instructions, asking us to pay close attention to the situation in North America. Obviously, the Council of Governors and the Emperor have anticipated the possible outbreak of European immigration. At that time, our North American The Ming army will fully cooperate with Governor Bu. But I’m sorry to ask, if a large number of European refugees really come to our land, how do you plan to deal with it?”

Bu An pondered for a moment, stood by the small lake in the city park, and said: "Although the land of North America looks big, it is actually very limited. I am deeply influenced by His Majesty the Emperor, and I feel that it is important for us to open up our lives for the Chinese. Space, keeping living space, is the most important thing for our generation. It’s okay to naturalize Indians, they were more or less close to us in race, and our Han nationality also conquered and assimilated countless ethnic groups to form what it is today Yes. But if a large number of Europeans suddenly appear, it will still be very troublesome to deal with. Especially if they form a group to boycott us and seek power that should not belong to them, then it is obviously inappropriate."

Yue Shenglong said: "My North American overseas territory borders on the two British colonies in full, so we can't build the Great Wall on the border of the colonies. Besides, people smuggle into our land from the sea, and live in private occupation of the land while no one is guarding it. It’s more difficult to control.”

Obviously these situations have been considered by Bu An, he said: "I will form a patrol team mainly composed of escorts, and if there are any refugees with legal status, we will gather them together. Those who can’t leave these people, since that’s the case, it’s better to send them to other places and let them fend for themselves.”

Yue Shenglong asked curiously, "Where are you going to send it? Send it back to New England, or the southern colonies. They will come here again."

This is not just a casual comment. In fact, many people from the two British colonies and even the French and Canadian colonies have smuggled themselves into the land of the Ming Dynasty and stayed as black households.In the European colonies, their life was extremely difficult, they worked hard, got a little harvest, and had a lot of taxes.The attitude of the European royal family towards the colonies is like a milk cow that can be squeezed.However, very prosperous cities have appeared in Hongwu, Yongle, and Hongxi Provinces of the Ming Dynasty, and the living conditions here are much better than those in the barbaric European colonies.So people have escaped one after another. After all, there are legal Europeans in the Ming colony, and it is impossible to find out who is a black household without checking the ID card.The same is true for some indentured laborers and slaves. Whenever they have the opportunity, they will run to Daming's land, because Daming does not recognize slaves.

Bu An said with a smile: "We won't let them go to the mainland. When the time comes, they will be shipped to the islands in the Caribbean, such as the Bahamas and the Lesser Antilles. It's very suitable."

Daming firmly controlled the dominance of the Caribbean Sea region. As the local pirates were completely wiped out by the Ming Navy, coupled with the strong anti-slavery activities of Ming Dynasty, the Caribbean Islands actually became somewhat depressed.Large-scale black slaves have not yet been transported, and most of the aborigines on these islands have died of infectious diseases such as smallpox, and the number of Europeans is not enough.Therefore, the population of the Caribbean islands is relatively short now, that is to say, the situation in Cuba, which Daming spent more energy on cultivating, is better, and the planting of cash crops such as tobacco and cotton is very good.

The Caribbean islands, including Cuba, have not been upgraded to overseas provinces and belong to the Department of Prosperity and Solace. Therefore, their resources are definitely not as good as those of the North American Overseas Territory. However, the three Departments of Prosecution and Welfare of Cuba, Haiti, and Puerto Rico are actually subordinate to the North American Overseas Territory. arranged.Places such as the Bahamas and the Lesser Antilles are not actually owned by the Ming Dynasty at all, so Bu An has no pressure at all to transport people there.

Daming's overseas territory in North America is already ready to "receive the shock", while other territories of Daming have also felt different disturbances.

In the midsummer of the 23rd year of recovery, Bai Mingxiu flew tens of thousands of kilometers from the capital by plane, completed his first long-distance trip, and arrived in Dhaka, an important city of the Bangladeshi Propaganda Department.Excuse me, an emperor came here in person, there are several important things.

First of all, the Bangladesh-Myanmar Propaganda Division has become the one with the highest economic output in Ming Dynasty. To be precise, it is the Bengal region with a population of more than 2000 million. It has developed many industries and is connected with the southwestern provinces of Ming Dynasty and the Nanyang region by rail and sea. , trade is frequent, and now it is extremely important in the economic territory of Ming Dynasty.

For such an important Xuanwei Department, it is very necessary for Bai Mingxiu, as the emperor, to visit.

The second thing is that the Council of Governors is going to separate Meng and Burma.In the past, the combination of a propaganda and comfort department was mainly based on practical needs, but now it is combined for governance, which is obviously not conducive to the development of Myanmar.In particular, Wu Min has successively occupied Bihar and Jharkhand through the use of troops, and the current Xuanwei Division is a bit too large.So simply, Bangladesh and Myanmar are separated, and the newly established Bangladesh Consolation Division covers the Bangladesh region (including West Bengal), as well as the Bihar and Jharkhand regions; the Myanmar Consolation Division includes the Burma region and another plane, Central India northeastern state.

The third thing is that Bai Mingxiu will award the prince to Wu Min who has made outstanding contributions to the Ming Empire and has served as a consolation envoy for more than 20 years.

He will give Wu Min the title of "Meng Wang", but unlike Zheng Chenggong's Ying Wang, Wu Min's king is more of a ceremonial role, and Bengal is still the Xuanweisi.

When he arrived in Dhaka, Bai Mingxiu didn't wait for Wu Min to pick him up personally.The local officials apologized and informed Bai Mingxiu that due to the increasingly fierce war on the South Asian subcontinent, Wu Min was working intensively, and he couldn't even sleep for five hours a day.

Wu Min knew the emperor well, and he also knew how to trust him, so he didn't care about these empty etiquette at all.
