The cold wind in the north is biting, the snow is frozen, and at the same time, the South China Sea seems to be still in early autumn and August, with a temperature of around 20 degrees, so that the people here can comfortably spend the winter in single clothes. Even at noon, when the sun is at its hottest, people need to shake a few fans to avoid the sun!

Nanyang has now become the best place to migrate to the provinces of Lingnan. They have ancestors who migrated here early, and they feel psychologically close, with roughly the same temperature and climate, and a powerful South Sea Fleet to support them. Therefore, in just two years, not counting the five million population of Lanfang, the entire Nanyang Chinese immigration has exceeded seven million!

China does not have family planning, and in recent years it has not encountered irresistible natural disasters, but the populations of many prefectures and counties in Guangdong and Fujian provinces have declined instead of increasing. The reason is that many people have immigrated to Nanyang!

The same thing happened in the two lakes, Jiangnan, the Central Plains, and North China. Millions of people have migrated from various provinces of China to Northeast China, Siberia, Central Asia, Mongolia, and the Volga River, and the latest census shows that the total population of the Han region-Guannai region of China is only 450 million. And the total population of China, not counting the natives of the newly occupied lands, is 650 million.

200 million people are scattered in the Northeast, Northwest, South Seas, North America, Mongolia, and Siberia.

What China needs now is peace and time. In a matter of time, the Chinese will have a majority advantage over the natives in the whole of the Northwest except Nanyang, the Northwest - Gansu, Central Asia and Yanzhao, and North America. At that time, it was impossible for the whites to drive the Chinese out of these lands.

And as for the untouched Outer Northeast and Siberia. Even now, the Chinese have formed an absolute population advantage. It has become the main ethnic group of the local people!

……

Beijing. ZN Sea.

Walking out of the palace paved with earth dragons, Liu Xian immediately felt a thrill all over his body. Waving his hand to beckon Chen Lei, the attendant who was waiting on the side, asked, "Are all the people here?" ”

"Your Majesty, all of you have arrived." Chen Lei replied. He is also a talent who is unknown in history, but now he is destined to climb to the highest stage in China. A native of Guangdong, he became a civil servant at the age of sixteen, and in 20 years, he has come to his current position step by step, with a wealth of grassroots resume and work experience, and is humble and persistent, and has been in the chamber for less than two years. won the favor of Liu Xian.

"Let's go, then." Liu Xian took the lead and walked towards the Qinzheng Palace.

On a cold day, if he can, Liu Xian will not convene a cabinet meeting. However, the matter discussed today is very important, and the cabinet members must be present, and the executive office of the National Assembly has also been informed that Fan Debang has retired, and the current chairman of the National Assembly is Li Hongzhang, who is old and strong. This name, which had disappeared in the Cabinet for many years, blossomed with the power of Congress. Back to the center of the stage of Chinese power.

The Qinzheng Hall is the main hall of the ZN Sea, and Liu Xian changed it to the Aurora Hall after entering the ZN Sea. At that time, Liu Xian held a great court meeting in this place, and the place where he met the courtiers was not fixed, anyway, the area of the ZN Sea was very large. There are many palaces. Or after he returned from North America, he returned the Aurora Hall to the Qinzheng Palace, and placed the places for handling government affairs, meeting with courtiers, and holding large court meetings here.

Li Hongzhang This is the first time he has come to the Qinzheng Hall after retiring. No matter how powerful Congress is, it is now only an 'audit' department. It can't be a home for national events. They can dismiss the decision of the Cabinet. But it is the cabinet that is in charge of the decision.

But even so, Li Hongzhang was full of red face. It was not the right time for Li to die. The Li family suffered a heavy setback, and politically it was simply a complete defeat. How comfortable Li Hongzhang's mood is now, and how gloomy his mood was in the last year of the cabinet. It's all over!

He is the senior of the cabinet people, and it took twenty minutes for Li Hongzhang's butt to reach the chair.

When Liu Xian arrived in stride, the east pavilion of the Qinzheng Palace had already settled down, and it was obvious that the cabinet had made a general decision on the recent political affairs.

Seeing the emperor arrive, everyone left their seats and bowed. Shout, 'Long live my emperor!' ’

All the people in the East Pavilion are Han-style government offices. Black official robe, placket, right side, collar, wide robe with large sleeves, and cloth wrap.

Liu Xian likes Hanfu very much, although he doesn't wear Hanfu every day, and he feels troublesome to wear it. But he likes to watch. At some point in the future, the reform of official robes will definitely take place, but not now.

Liu Xian will not bother with this matter, there are two things that have disturbed China recently, and this is what he has to think about carefully. First, the Ottoman ambassador formally proposed to the Chinese Dynasty a concession for loan agreement -- the Ottoman Empire borrowed another £15,000,000 from China with the Emirate of Kuwait as a 'concession' -- a loan in kind, without interest. And China wants to allow the Ottoman Empire's previous £30 million loan in kind with China to be repaid by five years; Second, the envoy of the Kingdom of Persia also offered to borrow 5 million pounds from China. It is also a loan in kind, mainly for the purchase of arms and many industrial machinery.

These two things seem to be the same thing, the Ottomans and Persia, the two powers of the western heavenly world, have long since lost the killing and fighting of 200 years ago, and in the face of Russian oppression and British encroachment, the two countries are even secretly even a more reliable ally. At first glance, there is a feeling that the two countries are increasing their strength, but in fact they are very different.

Although the Ottoman Empire is still dying, the fall of Russia has given him more respite, and the friendship with China over the years has allowed the empire's finances to recover somewhat, especially the Ottoman army, which now has at least 500,000 well-equipped new troops. Coupled with the losses of Britain and France in the North American theater before, and even Italy suffered a lot of losses in the North American theater, the pressure on the Ottoman Mediterranean and the south was greatly reduced, and the aging empire was unexpectedly rejuvenated.

Austria-Hungary has been trying to conquer the Balkans for the last two years, but its power and influence in the Balkans are far inferior to Russia's, and the pressure on the Ottoman Empire is not strong enough. In the two or three years of the lively fight between the East and the West, the Ottoman Empire was like an old tree that had been struck by lightning, glowing with a new green shoot, but it was only a green shoot!

If the 15 million pounds of in-kind loans are handed over to Turkey, Liu Xian feels that the Ottoman Empire will at least be able to stand up at that time. It formed a good resistance to the erosion and encroachment of Britain and France, especially Britain in the south.

Moreover, a Kuwait, in exchange for this land floating on the oil sea, not to mention a 45 million pound loan in kind, even a 100 million pound loan in kind is not too cheap.

45 million pounds of goods, as far as the domestic is concerned, the production cost will not even reach 20 million pounds, or even 15 million pounds.

This is a pie-in-the-sky deal, a million profits!

But not in Persia. The Persian kingdom could not solve the internal problem of cooking Geming, and the 5 million pounds in kind loan was more used by the Persian Shah to arm his own army.

And with the British intervening in the Persian political situation, how likely is it that China will take this opportunity to intervene? The £5 million repaid by the Persian Shah alone will never pay it back. But Persia is the Iran of later generations, and it is also a land floating on the sea of oil. If the Kingdom of Persia could clearly cede the right to exploit oil in its territory......

Liu Siam needs to consult the Cabinet on the matter is consulted.

Zhang Shouyan, as the first and auxiliary minister of the cabinet, was naturally the first to speak, "Your Majesty, after deliberation, the ministers and others believe that the Ottoman Empire's loan can be agreed. ”

Seeing that Liu Xian was nothing unusual, Zhang Shouyan continued: "The Ottomans are a big country, with a strong foundation, and Kuwait is the 'concession', even if they are unable to repay the arrears within the time limit, with Kuwait in hand, our country will have advantages and disadvantages." ”

Twitt is an emirate with a land of Han land, even if it is located in the desert and desert, and agriculture is weak, but it is located in the deepest part of the Persian Gulf, located on the border between the Ottomans and Persia, which is not generally beneficial to China.

"Wait, I made an excerpt." Zhang Shouyan took out a fold from his cuffs, "Your Majesty, please." This is a strategic analysis of Kuwait's geographical location and increasing its influence in Ottoman and Persian.

Now in this world, except for Liu Xian, no one knows what amazing wealth is buried under the land of the Middle East!

And since Baku was occupied by China, only Romania has produced oil in the whole of Europe. Because with the development of the chariot, the oil industry is becoming more and more important to the world. All European countries are exploring for oil on their own territory, with the exception of Russia, where the bell is now ringing, and as a result, with the exception of Romania, Germany and Austria have very little oil resources, and there is no possibility of large-scale exploitation. For a time, the eyes of the whole of Europe were on Romania and on the German colonies of West Africa.

At that time, because of China, Germany got a large oil field in Nigeria, and at that time, the Germans just wanted to make up for the lack of domestic resources, but how could they have imagined that in just a few years, the status of oil would soar so much.

Directly from a cheap commodity turned into military materiel.

The Germans made a fortune on the oil fields of Nigeria. In the North American War, this oil field not only supported the oil consumption of the entire European region, but also made great contributions to the upgrading of European and American airships on the battlefield by exploiting the helium produced by oil and natural gas. Similarly, a considerable part of the fuel consumption of the small nomad tanks and the innumerable number of vehicles also comes from here. In particular, after Mexico and the United States have completely torn their faces, the United States, which has cut off its oil sources, relies only on this.

Britain, France, Italy and other countries have long had red eyes of jealousy. If these countries knew that there were large areas of high-quality and high-production oil fields in the Middle East, they would definitely crash into the world at full speed! (To be continued......)
