sweeping the world

Chapter 807 Mainly because there are too few Han Chinese

It's not that Liu Yan is addicted to killing, and it's not that he exterminates the clan at every turn to show the authority from the emperor. It's that this place is really weird and evil. First, the Xianbei clan was raised, and then there were Khitan and Mokuxi after the Yuwen Xianbei split. , and then there are Jurchen and post-Jurchen. If you want to say which land is rich in foreign races and can dominate or win the world, it really does not include the land in Liaodong and the north and east.

Liu Yan didn't know how those nations came into being, and he didn't know whether killing all the savages of this generation could prevent the birth of those nations.He had already ordered to target Khitan and Mokuxi before, but it was not an order to exterminate them, but to fuse them if they could be integrated, and to slaughter them all if they were confirmed to be difficult to integrate.

What I have to say is that the current Khitan and Mokuxi have not yet shaken up. They are the remnants of Yuwen Xianbei after the split, with a population of only tens of thousands, and they have not yet mastered metal smelting technology.

Khitan and Mokuxi didn't know that they would develop in the future and become the masters of the Central Plains, and they didn't know that their soldiers would go straight to West Asia. At the same time, they didn't know that in a certain period of time, in the eyes of Westerners, only Liao Kingdom was in the East. one country.They only know that the only way to survive is to become a naturalized Hu. They must first work for at least ten years, during which time they must work hard to learn Chinese and Han people's living habits, and strive to become a Chinese identity.

"They are very smart, and very few people resist." One of Lu Tai's responsibilities is to supervise Khitan and Mo Kuxi: "Compared to comparison, savages are more difficult to tame."

Savage is a general term. They do not have their own clan name yet, and there are descendants from many defeated tribes such as Fuyu, Yilou, Quwo, Shennu and so on. Hundreds or thousands of people gather together to form tribal settlements.Some tribes among them have actually mastered very primitive farming skills and weaving skills, but the number is very small.

The footsteps of the Han army have advanced to the Heilongjiang area of ​​later generations, and the farthest place explored is to the Outer Xing'an Mountains.In fact, this piece of land is currently in a primitive state. The difference between the environment and the undeveloped Indochina Peninsula is that the Indochina Peninsula has a perennial rainy season, but the climate here is extremely cold.

When Liu Yan arrived in Gaoxian, he would not immediately continue to the northeast. On the one hand, he waited for the follow-up troops to come, and on the other hand, he did not stop to inspect the counties when he came.

"Will it snow here in October?" Liu Yan walked on the streets in Gaoxian City, looking at the buildings on both sides that were obviously newly built, and saw the steeper triangular eaves than those in the interior, which was to better clean up the accumulation Snow.He led people into a room, and the people inside had been temporarily asked away in advance, and they sat on a big kang in the bedroom: "This thing is a magic weapon to ensure a safe sleep."

In fact, the ancients were not unwilling to open up here, but they really couldn't stand the cold, and they didn't have effective means of preventing the cold.

The Han Dynasty had already developed wool textiles, and had also obtained and developed cotton. This area was the first place to be provided.With the basic cold-proof clothes, other means are needed. Don’t even think about heating. The kang is really a magic weapon. At the very least, you don’t have to worry about lying down and sleeping because of the cold and not getting up the next day.

The big kang made of bricks and stones was piled with thick quilts. Liu Yan didn't feel warm when he sat down on his buttocks. The main reason was that it was not the season for burning kangs. Let alone tossing myself to death, it must be too hot to sleep.

Because there is a kang, it is really necessary, and the difficulty of making masonry is almost no. The masonry industry is developing rapidly in the north and east of Liaodong, and the logging industry is temporarily one of the two major economic pillars.

Liaodong and the Northeast actually have open-pit coal, but the quantity is not large. The real large-scale production of open-pit coal is in Jingchu, but there is also a large open-pit coal mine on the nearby grassland, but it is extremely difficult to transport at present. convenient.

It is not that the grassland is without resources. It is not about the animal husbandry industry. It is because there is a super large iron ore reserve over there, especially without deep digging. It has already been explored by the Han Dynasty.

The nomads have always lived on the grasslands, but they didn't tap the smelting technology, so they didn't extend the ore exploration skills. That super large iron mine has been quietly staying underground, and it has to wait until modern times to find it.

As far as metal mines are concerned, in fact, the reserves of various metal mines in Northeast China are also very rich, and the mines in some places are not too difficult to mine, the difference is whether they can be found.

The resources in this bitter cold land will not be the priority mining sequence of the Han Dynasty. They are mainly used as grain-producing areas. The detailed exploration of various resources will not be carried out until the grain-producing areas in the Northeast Great Plains are completed.

According to Liu Yan, any resource should be used first in the local area, and any resources in the local area should be stored, that is, transportation will be a big trouble.

For example, the Han Chinese discovered huge copper mines in the Luzon Islands. It would be extremely cost-effective to simply transport the copper mines back to the mainland for smelting. With that kind of effort, it would be better to smelt the discovered gold and silver mines, as well as iron mines. same situation.

"Clean up all the valuables first, and then deal with the resources of inferior value after the equipment has been built." Liu Yan is not sure whether the Han people can permanently occupy those overseas places, subconsciously, he does not want to leave anything valuable: " If the immigration goes smoothly, the widow will not have such troubles."

At present, the territory of the Han Dynasty is expanding again and again, but quite a lot of areas have no people at all. If there is a colonial army, the labor force basically depends on arresting the aborigines.

It is said that they are aborigines, that is ignorance to the jaw-dropping savages, especially the aborigines on the Nanyang side are the most exaggerated, they are the kind of people who don’t understand anything, living is sleeping and picking food given by nature, expressing There is no concept of labor or anything.

"So in comparison, although the savages in the Northeast are rebellious, at least they don't have to teach everything from scratch." Liu Yan didn't know what expression to look for when he thought of those memorials from Nanyang: "Those monkeys are easy to tame. But I can’t teach it, and I don’t want to be diligent.”

Don't think that the Han people's capture of slaves is just to kill the undomesticated wild people in the Northeast. The places where the real kills are the most are in the Indochina Peninsula and the Nanyang Islands. However, although those monkeys are afraid of death, they would rather be lazy and kill them. Batch after batch, it can have a deterrent effect, but those monkeys are more afraid of work than they are afraid of death.

Liu Yan thought of it. No wonder the economy of later generations of Nanyang depends on Chinese immigrants. Even the Westerners colonize the main labor force and create wealth are also Chinese immigrants. The problem is that those Chinese immigrants are used as leeks. When the Westerners colonized, they were cut off, waiting for monkeys After they became independent, they mowed continuously.

Looking around the surrounding area of ​​the Han Kingdom, the Japanese are the only ones who are hard-working, and they belong to the type of hard work, which leads to the fact that the Han Kingdom first thinks of the Japanese when choosing overseas labor.

So far, not counting the Japanese as servants, the population transported by the Han Kingdom from the Wa Islands has reached an exaggerated 47, almost evacuating three to four out of ten of the population of the Wa Islands.In addition to serving as servants, men became the main labor force of the Han country overseas, while women of the right age were transported back to China.

Sometimes Liu Yan doubts a little, is he helping the Japanese to carry out an alternative expansion?If it continues like that, let’s not talk about the mainland of Han. At least the Nanyang Islands will breed a large number of Japanese descendants. If Australia is found, a large number of Japanese will be transported in the past as labor force. I am afraid that it will become an alternative version of "black slave proliferation" .

African blacks were sold all over the world except Zhuxia because of the slave trade. Although their ancestors were miserable, their descendants are at least much better than African blacks, and they can be considered successful in the world. (There are also a large number of black people in modern Guangzhou)
"The big man will soon increase the source of slaves." Sang Yu was talking about the Asan mainland: "General Zhengnan has entered the border of Gupta, as long as he can annihilate the main force of Gupta, the Asan there will be at the disposal of the big man. "

Huan Wen is still consolidating Jitanado, relying on the recognition of local high-caste privileges such as Brahmins and Kshatriyas, came to rule Asan with Asan, and made full use of local manpower and resources, that is, Asanzhen It is not suitable as a source of soldiers, at least the untouchables with the largest number are really not suitable.

"Huan Wen surprised everyone this time." Liu Yan originally thought that Huan Wen would use iron and blood methods, but he didn't expect to use a more sophisticated method of political division: "He can be alone."

Ah San should be one of the most conquering nations in the world. As long as they can win over the high caste and ensure that the high caste continues to live in luxury, they don't really care about the life and death of the low caste.

It is not the British who have explored this feature, but the Spaniards and French. They relied on bribery to make the high caste of Asan accept their existence and be willing to cooperate. After gaining a firm foothold on Asan’s side, the script began to colonize. The British defeated the Spanish and French colonists later, but they did not gain colonial rights by defeating Ah San.

The British continued the policies of the Spaniards and the French towards Asan, and they only had a few decent wars when they encountered the Sikhs. In some periods of time, the British were defeated by the Sikhs, and they relied on their huge colonies. The "size" of the Sikhs, and the set of means of bribery and division, "suppressed" the Sikhs to death.

Asan's continent is very special. The more southern Asan is, the easier it is to conquer, and the more northern Asan is, the more resistant the spirit is.

According to the Persians, the southerners on Asan’s side don’t have much pressure to live, and the city-states are generally rich. Their interest in religion is far higher than others. The Yuezhi people used to recognize their religious status and caste system. The rest of the northern Asan's life is relatively poor. In addition, the northern Asan mostly lives in the mountains. With a glorious history, his spirit is more than twice as high as that of Asan in the south.

Liu Yan will definitely conquer Asan, but there is no clear concept of how long it will take to turn the Asan continent into a colony. First, the Gupta Dynasty should be cleaned up, and then the surrounding land should be divided into enfeoffments.

That's right, although Liu Yan also agreed with each family to develop on their own in the Indochina Peninsula, it was not enfeoffment. Each developed family could only get a tax-free policy for many years and a piece of land under the family name, but most of the land Including resources are still owned by the state.

The Indochina Peninsula is close to the mainland, so it will not be too difficult to digest. There has also been a history of being a local since the Western Han Dynasty, and it should definitely not be used as a land of enfeoffment.

Asan Continent is actually not that far away from the mainland just from the map, especially Liu Yan will definitely include the plateau into his territory, and the two places are actually connected from the map.The important point is that the map looks connected, but there are Himalayas, and the plateau is not accessible to ordinary people. pot.

In fact, if we recover the Western Regions and move forward for about a thousand miles, we can also turn directly to Asan from there. Chang'an can be used as the starting point, and the total length will be [-] to [-] miles. In the Liaodong area, the journey is really long and terrifying.

Distance and geographical barriers determine that the first choice to go to the mainland is to take the sea route. The sea is full of dangers and uncertainties. Furthermore, the country has a rule stability line. The farther the line is from the center, the greater the cost of rule.

According to Liu Yan's thinking, the Asan Continent can only exist as a plundering resource in the future, and it is not the time to bring him into the mainland anyway. Maybe it will not be possible when he dies. The reason besides the distance is that there are too many local Asan up.

The population of the Gupta Dynasty alone is close to 3000 million. God knows what the population of that continent is before counting the rest of the countries. Considering that the Gupta Dynasty has nearly 3000 million people, Vagathaka seems to have 500 million people. Counting the populations of 5000 or [-] countries, such as Satrap, Apiro, Jidoluo, Dongguishuang, Youdexia, Naluo, etc., the population is at least [-] million.

At least within ten years, the Han Kingdom will not be able to swallow 5000 million Asan. If it is really necessary to "eat" it, it will mean that the Han Dynasty has two major ethnic groups, which are extremely unstable internal ethnic structures. A stable ethnic structure should have only one main ethnic group, and it is best for the entire country to have only one ethnic group.

"In the future, if we want to use any means to reduce Ah San's population, the best way is to let them consume in various labor processes." Liu Yan didn't think there was anything evil about it. It's because Americans hunted and killed Indians in modern times. It is regarded as a legitimate act by the powers of the world, and genocide is not cared about these days: "Building roads and mining are what Ah San should do."

At present, the Han State is undergoing major road repairs. Don’t think that the road construction is safe. More than 12 slaves have died on various road sections within two years. It was not Han’s intention, but a pure accident.

Liu Yan said in a pondering tone: "When the road is almost repaired and the ore is dug enough, Ah San should be almost consumed."
