I am rich in martial arts, but choose culture to win

That is road building.

Build a railway from Shiyan to Xi'an.

It can not only transport coal from northern Shaanxi into the Yangtze River system, but also transport materials from Daming to Qin.

Then from Xi'an, go out of Xiqi, pass through Tianshui, Lanzhou, and Han four counties, and build a road along the Hexi Corridor to enter the Western Regions.

There is no need for concrete roads, just rammed earth Indian grade roads, which can be opened to traffic.

The straight-line distance from Xi'an to Shiyan is only more than 200 kilometers. Based on the experience of the Ming construction team in building the Pacific Railway across the Great Salt Lake Desert and the Rocky Mountains, it is not difficult to build this railway.

The most difficult thing is the road that enters the Western Regions.

Such a large project requires a large number of civilian workers.

It happened that the Western Regions suffered from military disasters. Although the people in Ganshan and Shanxi had authentic Jieyang Laoqin noodles and authentic Hanzhong traditional food canned pig feet, they would not suffer from famine and even gained a little weight.

But they are still very, very poor.

In later generations, Gansu was the poorest province in China after Guangxi and Guizhou.

The poverty of these three provinces is not caused by the laziness of the people, but by the extreme topography of the three places.

Gansu is at the junction of the Gobi Desert and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

To be honest, it is basically impossible to grow rich in this place.

Daming has already controlled and started to develop most of the Mississippi Plain, and will be able to develop the Northeast Plain and the outer Northeast region in the future.

The Red River Delta, Nanyang and other places are also good granaries and fruit warehouses.

And of course Japan.

Don't underestimate Japan's food production.

If there is no development of industry and the construction of dense megacities, relying on the advantages of abundant precipitation, volcanic ash land, and the same period of rain and heat, Japan can also become a land of fish and rice.

And now, represented by Shaqima, an agricultural expert and the chief research institute of the United Nations, a large number of Japanese agricultural experts are studying various special agricultural products.

For example, wagyu, such as virgin watermelon, have also become snacks for the people of Ming Dynasty to use after dinner.

Therefore, the agricultural layout of Ming Dynasty is extensive and comprehensive.

Food security is fully guaranteed.

At the same time, the nature of the Ming court also determined that it was impossible for the Ming Dynasty to experience a tragedy like that of the British government and the British royal family, where England had too much food and all the Irish starved to death.

So Zhu Fugui did not intend to engage in agriculture in Gansu.

On the other hand, the Western Regions have a lot of potential. They can be developed properly and plant some cotton or something.

The Second Production and Construction Corps of the Ming Dynasty is under preparation.

As for the peasants in Gansu and Shanxi, Zhu Fugui plans to turn them into industrial workers in batches, so that they can get rich first.

To be honest, it is too easy to make Jiangnan rich.

With the geographical endowment of Jiangnan, it is difficult not to be rich.

But it is very difficult to get rich in Ganshan.

With the current organizational capabilities, the only thing that can be done is road construction.

The old Qin people practiced the Qin Zhidao, and they could be regarded as professional counterparts.

At the same time, this is also cash for work.

Although it is indeed possible to do it, it is impossible for Daming to let everyone eat and drink for nothing all the time.

Participate in production and construction, in exchange for food and clothing, and spare money to marry a wife. This is the new dynasty of the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, in order to coordinate this crucial road, Ming set up the first governor of Gansu and Shaanxi.

The candidate is Zhao Xizhu who is familiar with local affairs.

Said to be the governor of Ganshan and Shanxi, he is also in charge of the affairs of the Western Regions for the time being, and his status is equivalent to that of the governor of the Imperial Guard of Wa Island.

When the relationship of affiliation is straightened out in the future, Daming will rebuild Anxi and Beiting Dufu.

Of course, the so-called Protectorate of the Ming Dynasty is directly under the jurisdiction of the central government, and there is no special treatment in politics.

There is no hereditary situation in the position of guardian.

The reason for taking the ancient name is that Zhu Fugui personally doesn't like that name. It is obviously his hometown, so why call it new?

Or Anxi and Beiting sounded more cordial.

In short, the Ming Dynasty's strategy for the Western Regions will shift from a strategic offensive to a temporary revision.

When the road is repaired, it will be the time when the "Peace Agreement" expires.

The Ming side was represented by Zhao Xizhu and Zuo Zongtang, and the Tsarist Russia was represented by Skobelev. The two sides launched a three-day negotiation in Ili.

After all kinds of verbal confrontation with Suka, the "Ming-Russia Ili Treaty and Ming-Russia Non-Aggression Treaty" was officially signed.

The treaty states:

1. The government of the Russian Empire promises never to shelter the important criminals wanted by the Ming Empire government, and not to give them political convenience to flee to other countries.

2. Compensation from the Russian Empire, the compensation for the personnel of the Ming Empire is 120 million rubles, paid in gold. (approximately equivalent to 12 pounds or 48 Ming Yuan)

3. The Ming Empire recognized that the Russian Empire enjoyed special rights over the Kokand Khanate, the Bukhara Khanate, and the Khiva Khanate, and the Russian Empire also recognized that the Ming Empire enjoyed special interests in the Three Khanates.

4. The Treaty of Nerchinsk, the Treaty of Aigun, the Treaty of Beijing, and the Records of the Sino-Russian Exploration and Division of the Northwest Boundary will be abolished with immediate effect.The Russian Empire returned 500 million square kilometers of illegally occupied Ming territory.The two sides are bounded by the natural extension of Lake Baikal to the north and Lake Balkhash to the west.Ming and Russia are good-neighborly and friendly, and will never release their swords.

……

The signing ceremony was completed quickly.

For the Russians, this was the first time they had ceded the land they had acquired. When Skobelev signed, his hands were still shaking.

He knew that he would become a sinner in the history of the Russian nation and be regarded as a traitor and a coward by the people.

Zuo Zongtang snorted coldly and looked down on his cowardly appearance.

Zhao Xizhu stepped forward and patted him, saying hello: "Su Ka is not listed!"

"Suka is not listed!"

Skobelev replied listlessly.

After dealing with the Ming and Chu armies for so long, Skobelev already knew what misunderstandings these Chinese seemed to have about Russian.

For example, even though it was Ross, they decided to call it Russia, and they didn't listen to it after saying it several times.

Even Lucia or Rakshasa is more accurate than Russia.

It is said that this Russian translation came out of Mongolia.

Mongolian translators are just as unreliable as Mongolian doctors.

Presumably Suka Bulie was also the fault of these Mongolian translators.

"Chinese, you won. I admit that you are very strong and worthy of respect!" Skobelev said.

"No no no!"

Zhao Xizhu shook his head Lianlian, "I'm not here to listen to your rainbow farts, our emperor said, don't believe a word of the Russians saying 'you China is really amazing'.

I'm just telling you that you don't need to be so sad, time will prove that every inch of Russia you sold today is worth it, because you will be the only general who signed a peace treaty with Ming, not an unconditional surrender letter. "

After finishing speaking, Zhao Xizhu didn't care whether the interpreter could translate accurately, reached out and patted the shoulder of the Central Asian executioner in front of him, then turned and left.

June 6st is Children's Day in the seventh year of Dewu.

Agubo accepted the fixed-frame penalty in "Daming Law", and he received a total of 6 dollars as late as June 3.

This is the number of knives suffered by the legendary eunuch Liu Jin.

I don't know if Aguba's vitality is more tenacious than Liu Jin's, or he is born with one more knife than Liu Jin, or because the executioner of the Ming Dynasty is used to cutting mutton, and the sheep are only slightly injured after hundreds of knives. After cutting 3457 knives, he was still alive.

In the end, Zuo Zongtang, king of Western Chu in Ming Dynasty, hanged the evil old chieftain by the Yili River with his beloved bowstring.

Except that his head would be sent back to Daming for verification and offered as a sacrifice to the Martyrs' Shrine, his battered body was directly chopped up and fed to wild dogs.

Except for Aquba, Jin Xiangyin and his son who led Aquba into Xinjiang, and Yu Xiaohu and Ma Yuan who followed Aquba were all sentenced to death. A total of 1166 leaders under Aquba and Bai Yanhu also "declared the law".

So far, the Western Regions have finally been completely recovered and returned to the territory of Ming Dynasty.

As for the fief of Zuo Zongtang, king of Western Chu in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Fugui originally planned to set it near Almaty on the south bank of Balkhash.

But I don’t know if Lao Zuo didn’t like it, or he still found it boring. He called the emperor and said, “Take soil from the old place of China, and you are not a real hero. We, the people of Chu, should turn our swords to the west, let out the old and absorb the new, and only then can we be a real hero.”

Of course, the premise is that Ming Liangzong's Ming aid cannot be cut off.

So in the final analysis, road construction is the first key.

Chapter 566 Six Princesses

"My dear Alexander, Your Excellency the Liberator, the emperor from the Celestial Dynasty greets you."

"Da Ming and your country have just ended some diplomatic disputes. Out of goodwill and longing for world peace, our Daming swallowed the humiliation, endured the humiliation, and with extremely high strategic determination, kept a low profile and made a huge concession. Sincere goodwill to your country."

"Today, the imperial court of Ming Dynasty and the International Olympic Committee sent you an invitation. I hope you will send a delegation to participate in the first Olympic Games held in Daming. Ming Dynasty is a state of etiquette, and China is famous for its hospitality. Please don't be ignorant Uplift."

"Oh, by the way, in the end, I hope that you and Empress Maria can attend the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Xinhu. If the itinerary remains the same, Princess Rovna can also attend as a representative."

"Finally, I wish you good health—your friend, the kind and orderly little white dove, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, the lifetime honorary president of the International Olympic Committee, Zhu Heping Fugui, Yours sincerely."

In a rage, Alexander II tore up the telegram sent by Emperor Ming to pieces.

He somewhat understood Victoria's helpless feelings of hating Zhu Fugui, a damned heathen.

What about Da Ming swallowing his anger, what about Da Ming making huge concessions...

Isn't it our Russian Empire that is making concessions?

500 million!

500 million square kilometers!

Although most of them are permafrost, but in terms of area, this is the size of India!

(At this time, India refers to India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and even the Maldives. It is a geographical concept created by Europeans for convenience.)

Obviously we cut the flesh!

If the Ming people made concessions by cutting the meat of 500 million, then would they give in to the Ural Mountains, the Don River Plain, or even the Red Square after a few more steps?

It really makes no sense!

And what does "keep a low profile" mean?

Why does it sound so scary?

Can anyone come and explain to me what is meant by "keeping a low profile"?

Alexander II slapped the velvet table mat vigorously, his heart full of boredom turned into chaotic slapping sounds.

But none of the officials below could answer his question.

"Peaceful rise", "hide your strengths and bide your time", these words cannot be translated into English, and the same is true for Russian.

If the translation is not good, its meaning will appear particularly frightening.

This made Alexander II suspicious.

This Zhu Fugui, is he as shameless as me, thinking that the signing of the "Peace Agreement" is to tear it up?

No way?

There really isn't such a person, is there?

Alexander II pinched his brows, feeling that his contact with the French was about to speed up.

A strong and united Germany is neither in the interests of France nor Russia.

Let the hatred of Crimea die with the wind.

Because of the rise of Ming and Germany, the contradictions between Russia and Britain and France are rapidly disappearing, while the common interests are rapidly increasing.

If Britain and Russia still have huge conflicts of interest in Central Asia, especially Iran and Afghanistan, then there is no reason for hostility between Russia and France.

As for what Zhu Fugui said that he hoped that the Tsar and his wife would go to the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games together, this seemed to Alexander II to be a dream.

When Napoleon was at his strongest, he also discussed with the Tsar on a small boat in the middle of the boundary river and discussed how to divide Poland.
