It will take another week.

Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, and the four southern provinces of Brazil. Agriculture is dominated by animal husbandry. The 1.5 million square kilometers area of ​​the La Plata Plain is stocked with millions of cattle, sheep, horses and other economies. livestock.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the pastoral areas where livestock are kept are all dry areas where the rainfall is less than 400 mm. Because of the poor local natural conditions, people use grazing as an inefficient agricultural production method. Wherever the local natural conditions are suitable, they live there Chinese people will reclaim the occupied land as cultivated land and plant crops such as rice and wheat. In southern Xinjiang, as long as the local annual rainfall reaches 350 millimeters or more, the inland people who migrate there will exert the characteristics of the farming nation. , Reclamation of barren and dehydrated land into precious arable land, and devoted a lot of energy to carefully feed.

The Han people missed the global colonial period during the great voyage. More than 400 million people were crowded on the land that had been cultivated for thousands of years. They were very eager for the possession of the land. The South American and white people who were descendants of the colony had the richness left by their ancestors. Heritage, in the face of a lot of fertile land, cherish it is far less intense than the Han people.

The La Plata Plain, which is mainly distributed in the four provinces of Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Brazil, has an area of ​​1.5 million square kilometers and an annual rainfall of about 1,000 mm, which is nearly twice the area of ​​China's four major plains.

Of the four major plains, the Northeast Plain covers an area of ​​350,000 square kilometers and has an annual rainfall of 350-700.

The North China Plain covers an area of ​​310,000 square kilometers, with an annual rainfall of 500-1000.

The area of ​​the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River is 160,000 square kilometers, with an annual rainfall of 1,000-1500, and the area of ​​the Guanzhong Plain is 40,000 square kilometers. The annual precipitation is 300-600.

The four Great Plains with a total area of ​​860,000 square kilometers carry more than half of the population of the mainland. The four Great Plains bases that were originally the main food producing areas, because of the overpopulation, only the Northeast Plain still has the ability to export food. The other three The Great Plains region has changed from a food exporter to a food importer.

The vast land area and abundant fertile arable land are necessary for a country to become a large country. The La Plata Plain has extensive arable land, precipitation and natural climate similar to those in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. It is a very livable place. At the same time, even The white Argentine is regarded as a deserted Patagonian wasteland, with annual rainfall of about 350 millimeters, fully equipped with natural conditions for developing it into a livestock area.

Argentine whites sit on the Baoshan mountain without knowing how to use it. After being occupied by the Han in the southern region, millions of Chinese immigrants who had nothing to gain often led a gimmick and axe issued by the government, and brought dry food for several days to enter southern Argentina. In the undeveloped forest, then following the tradition of the Han nationality's ancestors in the loess slopes, northwest deserts and southeast hills and other areas to prevent sand and fix fields, cut down forests and reclaim hills, they cultivated land that was unwilling to be developed by white Argentine Blocks of boxy farmland.

Prior to 1876, the Han government stipulated that each adult Chinese immigrant could subscribe for 30 acres of land. After May 1876, in view of the surge in immigration and the need for a large amount of labor in domestic industries, Li Mingyuan adjusted the area of ​​land subscribed by Chinese immigrants. Reduce 30 acres per person to 10 acres per person.

Ten acres of land are generally fertile land located in the plains. For Chinese immigrants who choose to live in inland mountains and forests, the government has relaxed restrictions on their land ownership and stipulated that each person can own three acres of flat land and thirty acres of mountain land. As long as the area is not more than 50 acres and the local natural environment is not destroyed by the Chinese, the government defaults that they have the right to use the land for ten years. After ten years, the government will resettle according to the population of the descendants of the family. The amount of ownership shall be reconfirmed for privately cultivated fields.

With the stimulation and assistance of low-interest-rate land loan sales and a large number of government-provided agricultural equipment, a group of organized Chinese immigrants reclaimed the first piece of land with their own hands, piling on the land originally owned by white people in Argentina. Taking root, from 1870 to 1878, of the 5.3 million Chinese people in Han, 3 million people lived in the 700,000 square kilometers of land seized by the first Argentine War, forming thousands of settlements of all sizes , Completely cut off the possibility of Argentine whites fighting back to recapture northern territory.

The La Plata Plain is the base of the rising king of the South American Han country, and the end of the 19th century was the most suitable time to capture the La Plata Plain. In the 19th century, Argentina and Uruguay passed through uninterrupted harassment by the Chinese troops. The blow missed the opportunity to receive Italian and German immigrants. The population was affected by factors such as war, disease death, and fleeing from foreign countries, and only less than 1.7 million. Compared with ten years ago, the population not only did not increase, but decreased by about 100,000. people.

Except for the changes in the strengths of Argentina and Paraguay, Brazil has suffered two defeats in the war and will not rashly attack the Han country, while the United States is still busy at home with the Indians in the west and has no energy or strength to interfere in the actions of the Han country Therefore, Li Mingyuan intends to launch an attack while Han's population and military strength form an absolute advantage over Argentina, quickly occupy Argentina and Uruguay, and lay the cornerstone of Han's rise.

The close and detailed combat readiness meeting continued until noon. At the time when Li Mingyuan carefully arranged various combat preparation work, a guard officer entered the conference room and whispered to Li Mingyuan.

"Let him in."

Li Mingyuan nodded and temporarily suspended the meeting.

"Treading", Ye Chenglin, wearing a gray cyan school uniform of the National Defense Forces, stepped into the meeting room, raised his hand and saluted, "Ye Chenglin, who works under him, came back to life!"

"Is the journey smooth?"

"I encountered an inspection by an Argentine patrol ship and was hid by his subordinates." Ye Chenglin said as he took out a worship from the pocket of his military uniform, started, forwarded his hands and handed it to Li Mingyuan, "The Mapuche invited his Highness. As king of their tribe, this is a letter from the thirteen chiefs to His Highness. "

"The Mapuche people know the news of Antoine's death?" Li Mingyuan looked down at the letter and asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Mapuche believe that after Antoine's death, they need to choose another king who can lead them against oppression in Argentina and Chile."

"Very well, go back and tell the Mapuche people that the Han people and Mapuche are a family, and I will defend them against the aggression of white people like the Chinese people."

Li Mingyuan said after reading the allegiance letter of Chief Mapuche.

"Congratulations to His Royal Highness on conquering the Mapuche people. With the Mapuche people restrained behind Argentina, the action of occupying the La Plata plain next year will be one more chance." Liu Pudao.

The Mapuche people are the main tribe of Patagonian Indians. Based on Patagonia's important role in the Chinese immigration route, Li Mingyuan sent a number of Chinese teams to enter the local area. On the one hand, they traded with Mapuche people. In terms of attracting the Mapuche to Han, the Mapuche was greatly influenced by the white colonists for hundreds of years, and their religion and customs were very different from those of the Chinese. Various tribes also refused because they did not understand the Chinese. Trust in Han.

"The Mapuche are good at nomadic operations. If they refuse to accept the rule of the Han country, the occupation of Patagonia in the future will add a lot of trouble."

From the allegiance letter written by Chief Mapuche, Li Mingyuan noticed that their willingness to turn to Han was not only due to the help provided by Ye Chenglin and others to the Indian tribes, but also the continued advancement of the Patagonia wasteland by Chile and Argentina ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ The Patagonian Indian tribes suffered heavy losses. In order to survive, they chose Han people who looked similar in appearance to rely on.

The trust built by two different races can not be established overnight. Li Mingyuan did not intend to fully gain the trust of the Mapuche, because the brave and fierce Mapuche battled with white South Americans for hundreds of years, leaving only a population of To 30,000 people, 30,000 Indians are very limited in the face of Han's more than 5 million people. After decades of active or passive integration, Mapuche people with similar looks are more likely to integrate into Han people than white people. Ethnic group.

Harvesting the loyalty and loyalty of the Mapuche people in advance, Li Mingyuan was a little happy. After thinking for a few minutes, Li Mingyuan arranged to Ye Chenglin, "Patagonia is a starting point of the strategy to occupy Argentina. I authorize you to Patagonia has formed a mixed army of less than 6,000 to cooperate with the main force. Weapons and ammunition of the mixed unit are supplied domestically, and soldiers need you to recruit them from Indian tribes. "

"His Royal Highness Patagonian Indians are brave in combat, but they are generally not trained, and they hope that they will send some officers in the country to enrich the organizational structure of the mixed army."

"Yes, I will send thirty captain-level officers and four school-level officers to support you." ...
