Back then, when the empire granted overseas affairs yamen and state capitals directly under the cabinet some diplomatic rights, declaration of war, etc., that was because of the difficulty of communication in the early days. Even after the steamship, trans-oceanic communication was still very troublesome.

Therefore, it is impossible to grant a relatively large authority to the overseas affairs yamen. Otherwise, unpredictable negative changes will often occur after many urgent affairs are delayed for a few months.

However, when the telegraph was invented and applied on a large scale, especially after the construction of the transoceanic telegraph line, Li Xuan did not hesitate to revoke some of the diplomatic and war declaration rights of the Overseas Affairs Yamen, and only retained their civil power.

After wireless telegraphy also began to be widely used, Li Xuan further weakened the power of the overseas affairs yamen, so that the current overseas affairs yamen’s authority is basically equivalent to the provincial highway in the local area.

Even the European affairs yamen, which had a special status before, was inevitably reformed and turned into a purely civil affairs institution.

As for the Empire’s foreign affairs and other affairs in Europe, the Imperial European Office is responsible for it, while military affairs continue to be handled by the Army and Navy.

Relying on the advancement of communication technology, the Datang Empire has realized the reform of affairs on a global scale, and once again clarified the principle of separation of military and government.

Today, the overseas affairs yamen in the empire are equivalent to the mainland and the provincial highways in the Americas in terms of administrative level, and they are all second-rank.

However, although the area under the jurisdiction of these affairs yamen is very large, the registered population is not large.

Even if it is the Indian affairs yamen that has been colonized in the early days and has developed for many years, excluding the Ceylon Island, which has been localized and is directly under the jurisdiction of the cabinet, there are only more than 4 million people of the empire on the entire Indian peninsula. This number is relative to India. In terms of the vast territory of the Indian peninsula controlled by the affairs yamen, it is not much!

In the Red Sea Affairs Yamen, there are more immigrants, but there are more than one million people, most of them are concentrated in the Egyptian state and the Suez Canal area.

As for the newly established Eastern European Affairs Yamen and Nordic Affairs Yamen, the Eastern European Affairs Yamen has great potential but the time to accept a large number of immigrants is still short.

Therefore, in addition to the army, there are actually more than 400,000 people, and most of them have run over in the past year.

There are more in the Nordic region, and there are only 20,000 to 30,000 people for the time being. Most of them are policy-based immigrants.

The European affairs yamen and the West Asian affairs yamen are special. These two affairs yamen actually do not have much territory. The main administrative area in Europe is Ceuta, and the rest are messy embassy districts, business districts or colonies in other names. Small pieces, the people are mainly concentrated in Ceuta, plus the people of other colonies, it is estimated that there are about 100,000 people.

The West Asian Affairs Yamen is also similar. It mainly governs the land along the Persian Gulf. The main territories are only Basra and Hormuz, plus some colonies in the embassy area, and small areas. The overall population is not large, adding up to 100,000 people. not.

Overall, the number of imperial people in these nine overseas affairs yamen is not large.

Of course, this is only temporary. At present, the Empire is vigorously encouraging people to immigrate to Eastern Europe and West Asia. Every day, a large number of people take trains to go to Eastern Europe or the Caucasus through the Asia-Europe Railway.

According to the estimates of the Immigration and Reclamation Department of the Ministry of Agriculture, in the next few years, Eastern Europe, especially the Vogar River, Don River Basin and parts of Ukraine will usher in a rapid increase in immigration, and this rapid growth does not mean that tens of thousands of people a year Hundreds of thousands of people, but the growth rate of hundreds of thousands of people.

With the favorable conditions of Eastern Europe, especially Ukraine, it is very likely to repeat the grand occasion of people’s active immigration to North America in those days.

And when there are more local people, and there is not much threat from foreigners, then it is to follow the example of America, cancel the affairs yamen, and set up provincial roads instead.

The Americas were like this back then. At first, it was the yamen for American affairs, then it was divided into the yamen for North American affairs and the yamen for South American affairs. Later, the two affairs yamen were abolished and provincial administrative agencies were established directly in North and South America.

It’s just that this measure has also caused some trouble, that is, the number of provincial highways, state capitals, districts, and affairs yamen directly under the cabinet in the empire is increasing, and they are so numerous that it is difficult for the cabinet to govern.

There are too many sites, and it is too troublesome to manage.

With the expansion of the empire on a global scale, it was nothing in the early days, but when there were more overseas immigrants, overseas areas were gradually localized, and after the establishment of provincial roads, the scope of the cabinet’s jurisdiction became larger and larger.

Even if there is radio communication now, you can quickly contact overseas for direct control, but it is still very complicated and troublesome.

After all, there are dozens of administrative regions directly under the central government of the empire, and it is very troublesome to deal with.

However, the cabinet does not want to merge these provincial highways, state capitals and districts directly under the jurisdiction of the government, and the yamen and other local administrative agencies. These places are already big enough, and it would be too exaggerated to merge them.

Some provincial roads in the local area seem to be small in size and seem to be able to be merged, but the area is small, but the population is large and the economy is strong.

For example, it would be too exaggerated to merge the four branches of Zhili. The four branches of Zhili account for about 35% of the total industry and commerce of the empire. If they are to be merged, the impact will be too great, and the impact will be negative. .

At the same time, if there is a rash merger, a large-scale adjustment of administrative regions and institutions is required, which is also very troublesome.

However, the cabinet is reluctant to set up a higher-level administrative agency above the provincial highway, such as merging with Hubei and Huguang to establish Huguang, or setting up higher-level administrative agencies such as Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and Zhejiang. .

The cabinet believes that this will make the local authority too large, and even directly threaten the authority of the cabinet.

At the same time, the military is also strongly opposed to ~www.mtlnovel.com~ The military believes that it is okay to do this in the local area, but it cannot be done overseas, especially in North America. identity, breeds separatism.

Back then, it was because of this that the North American Affairs Yamen was abolished, and then it was divided into provinces in North America. Now, because there are too many jurisdictions, we can’t go back to the old way!

The current Americas region, after years of administrative adjustment, has already determined the structure of seven provinces in North America, two provinces and one region in Central America, and five provinces in South America.

Moreover, in official documents, North America, South America, or similar terms have always been avoided, and they are all directly referred to as such and such provinces, such as the Five Lakes Province.

Regardless of whether it is the cabinet or the military, administrative agencies higher than provincial highways, such as the North American Governorate and the South American Governorate, are not allowed in the Americas to avoid regional centripetal force in some areas.
