Capital Datang

Remember in a second【】/manghuangji provides you with wonderful novels to read.

On the blue sea, there are white waves from time to time. Seagulls fly from the mast and fly over the sea with their wings from time to time. There are white clouds floating in the blue sky above their heads. Under the ground, it changes various shapes, sometimes it looks like a bison, sometimes it looks like a fish, and sometimes it even looks like a boat.

Thea with pigtails is sitting on the bow of the boat, with her hands lying on the side of the boat, looking up at the ever-changing clouds in the sky, her big eyes are full of pure joy, she only occasionally thinks of those little friends in the tribe , a distressed look flashed across his face.

Thea is only 12 years old this year, and she is an ordinary little girl living in a native tribe in North America. But for some reason, she, her parents, and many other people from the same tribe boarded the big ship of the Han people and started a life together. A whole new life.

"Thea, what are you thinking about?" At this moment, a Han man in a navy uniform came over, sat next to Thea with a smile and asked.Capital Datang 684

Hearing this familiar voice, Thea didn't need to look back to know who was talking to her, so she replied in somewhat blunt Chinese: "Uncle Li Yong, Thea missed the little friends in the tribe, Xiong, Jushi and the others They all stayed in the tribe, I don't know what they are doing now?"

This man called Li Yong by Thea is naturally Li Yin's best friend, Li Yong, the youngest son of Hejian King Li Xiaogong.Speaking of which, he is also an old man from Prince Qi’s Mansion, but later, like Cheng Huailiang and the others, he went to Chang’an Military Academy to study, but because of some things, he came to Taiwan later than Cheng Huailiang and the others. Later, he also entered the military academy to study naval warfare and graduated some time ago. In the end, Li Yin originally wanted to arrange him to the relatively stable Nanyang Fleet, but Li Yong chose the most distant American Fleet, usually stationed in Hawaii.Occasionally go to America.

The reason why Li Yong joined the American Fleet was actually to visit America and gain some understanding of the world he lived in. When Li Yin sat with them drinking and bragging, he often bragged to them about how rich America is. At that time, Li Yong had the idea of ​​going to see it with his own eyes. Now that he has this opportunity, he naturally doesn't want to let it go.

Now Li Yong is the captain of a main battleship, and he can be regarded as the middle and upper ranks of the army.After joining the American Fleet, they stayed in Hawaii, which is a very beautiful place, not only rich in products, but also enthusiastic Hawaiian girls on the island.Many young military officers like to have super-friendly relationships with local girls, and Li Yong is no exception. He even formally accepts her as a concubine, and builds a house in Hawaii. Family pick up to stay for a while.

In addition, Li Yong often goes to the Americas to perform missions, including several stronghold ports in North America and Central America.He has traveled around and learned more about the situation in America.

Speaking of which, the Americas are indeed as beautiful and rich as Li Yin introduced at the beginning, with not only high-yield crops such as corn and sweet potatoes.It is also rich in gold and silver. I heard that many gold mines have been discovered in South America. Every month, I can see boat after boat of gold diggers adventuring, dreaming of getting rich overnight.

Just in the process of opening up the Americas.Inevitably, there was the need to deal with native Americans, such as the Mayans of Central America.It was the earliest Americans who came into contact with them, but now smallpox broke out among the Mayans, and it is said that the casualties were very serious.

Most of the Han people were able to get along well with the Americans. For example, in the city of Chola, where Lu Wan first came into contact, the Mayans in the city were very friendly to them, and even helped Lu Wan build the Luwan Port.Similarly, in some stronghold ports in North America and South America, the Han people are also willing to maintain good relations with the Americans. This will not only facilitate their understanding of America, but also get a lot of useful information from them, such as where the gold is produced.

Of course, not all Americans are friendly, and there are also some relatively xenophobic Americans who do not welcome their arrival, so war inevitably broke out, but the Americans do not even have metal weapons. The Daqi army with muskets would naturally be defeated at the first touch. At least the few battles Li Yong encountered were won very easily.

In the very beginning, wars with the Americans were actually very rare. After all, the hospitality of the Indians in later generations is recognized. As long as their safety is not threatened, the Americans still welcome these Han Chinese who bring all kinds of novelties.However, with the influx of Han Chinese, there will inevitably be some conflicts of interest, such as competition for resources such as land and gold.So over time, the relationship between Americans and Han Chinese became somewhat antagonistic.

Aware of this change, the officials sent by Li Yin to the Americas reported to the imperial court while thinking hard about a solution, but they hadn't come up with a solution yet, but Li Yin sent a solution.

In fact, what Li Yin sent was not entirely a solution, but a plausible legend. It is said that King Zhou sent [-] troops to crusade against Dongyi, which is now the Shandong Peninsula, but at this time King Wu of Zhou took advantage of the emptiness in the Shang Dynasty. , Annihilated the Shang Dynasty in one fell swoop, leaving a hundred thousand troops homeless, and then disappeared mysteriously. It is said that they built ships on the Shandong Peninsula and went to sea, and they probably traveled eastward to Japan and entered the Kuroshio Current, thus reaching America.

The officials stationed in America immediately understood Li Yin's intention of sending this legend. They began to publicize this legend, and believed that the native Americans were the descendants of the Yin Shang army that disappeared that year, and even found a lot of "evidence". For example, Americans are also of the yellow race, and their appearance is very similar to that of East Asians. According to the legends of some tribes, it is indeed said that their ancestors came to America by boat. This further proves that the Americans are actually the same as the Central Plains people. family.

Leaving aside whether this legend is true or not, it doesn't matter to Li Yin whether it is true or not, all he needs is a title.This title means that the Americans and the people from the Central Plains are one family, so things will be much easier to handle. Under the banner of helping the Americans to 'find their ancestors', the officials of Daqi began to vigorously promote the friendship between the two races. .

Similarly, Americans are not fools. They have always expressed admiration and awe to these Han people from outside. Now these Han people take the initiative to express their friendship and regard them as people of the same race. The few American tribes also reacted quickly. For example, Thea on Li Yong’s boat, their tribe was very friendly to the Han people. Now they seize this opportunity to admit that their ancestors were immigrants from the Yin and Shang Dynasties, and they got a huge reward. opportunity.

As we all know, whether it is Datang or Daqi, the two countries are relatively short of people. The birth encouragement program has never stopped, and the birth rate of babies is also very high every year. Some newspapers have even done statistics. Among the adult men of the two countries , have an average of three to four sons. As for daughters, there is no statistics for the time being. I believe the number will definitely not be less than this.

However, even with such a high birth rate, it is still unable to fill the population needs of various places. After all, babies do not grow up in a day. This situation has almost become a common heart disease of Daqi and Datang.

It was also under such circumstances that Li Yin suddenly turned his attention to the distant Americans. Since these Americans admit that their ancestors came from the Central Plains, it is better to give them a chance to recognize their ancestors and select some Americans to enter Nanyang, Australia and other places that are in urgent need of population can not only solve the population needs of these places, but also reduce the density of native Americans, which will facilitate future immigration and management of the Americas.

For Li Yin's bold idea, Wang An, the prime minister, felt that it was very feasible after discussing with the ministers, but they disagreed about the status of these immigrants from the Americas.Capital Datang 684

Now there are hundreds of ethnic groups in Daqi, but these ethnic groups can be simply divided into Han people and non-Han people. Of course, the Han people have the highest status in the country.

As for the non-Han nationality, it is very complicated. However, with a kind of inclusive attitude, Li Yin implements Sinicization education for all non-Han people. According to the degree of Sinicization and the amount of tax payment, they are divided into four levels, which is the very famous four in the history of Daqi. level alien.

In fact, legally speaking, the status of the highest-level foreign race is not much different from that of the Han people. However, Daqi is a Han-dominated country after all. People, they still desperately want to get rid of their alien identity and truly become a Han Chinese.

So in this case, relevant provisions that allow foreigners to truly become Han nationality also appeared.Of course, it is impossible for a foreign race to become a Han nationality in the sense of blood, but Daqi can give them an official Han nationality identity, but it is not easy to obtain this identity.

First, the foreign race needs to become a first-class foreign race, which is already very difficult. There are tens of millions of foreign races in Daqi, but the first-class foreign race is less than one in a thousand.The second is to require this first-level foreign race to pay more than a certain amount of tax every year, and it must not be interrupted for ten consecutive years, which again blocks a considerable number of people from the door.It is said that in the first ceremony where foreigners were promoted to Han nationality, only less than [-] foreigners were eligible to become Han people, and most of them were Sanhan people, Ezohu people and Japanese people who were ruled by Li Yin earlier.

It is also the situation in Daqi that makes Wang An and the others do not know how to define the identities of these Americans who migrated to Daqi. Previously, Daqi officials in America have always advocated that the two clans are one family, so now if they will If Americans are defined as aliens, isn't that a slap in the face?

However, it would be very inappropriate to directly give Americans the status of Han Chinese. Originally, Han Chinese have a high status in Daqi. If these Americans who are still in a tribal state are defined as Han Chinese, this will not only make some Han Chinese The dissatisfaction of the activists will even cause psychological imbalances among some aliens.Moreover, the number of Americans is not small. Although there are not many people who admit that they are descendants of Yin and Shang, if all Americans admit that they are descendants of Yin and Shang in the future, then their population problem will exceed that of the real Han people, which may bring more troubles. to more serious problems.
