Chapter 998: Repatriation of Kunlun Nu
Seander was still conceited and arrogant that he had the so-called talent to find a flaw in the defense of the Daming Weapons Bureau, and from it he obtained the advanced musket and cannon technology of the Daming. Tian Lai Xiao said
As for whether he really has that talent, it is not known for the time being.
With the passage of time little by little, more than half a year has passed, and it is even about to enter the 30th year of Daming Zhongxing.
It has been almost 30 years since Zhu Ci ascended the throne. On the 6th side of the Americas, it has been about two and a half years since ZTE began to excavate Panama in May 27.
In that year, during the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty ordered to recruit millions of people to dig the Grand Canal in the Central Plains, connecting the Yellow River, the Yangtze River, the Huai River, the Qiantang River and other major rivers, with a total of more than 2,000 kilometers and less than ten years.
The Panama Canal, which is only about 60 kilometers long, has nearly a million prisoners of soldiers and immigrants from various European countries, as well as more than 300,000 black Kunlun slaves, a total of more than 1 million manpower, although it was excavated according to the standard of the same 100,000-ton warship, but two and a half years is enough to open the canal.
Not only was the Panama Canal dug up, but three bridges across the canal were built before the canal was opened to water.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "With the two ends of the canal, the buried explosives that were detonated one after the other, blowing up the sediment that finally connected to the sea.
"Whoa!" In an instant, the sea poured into the canal, gradually filling the entire canal.
The most convenient connection point between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans was announced.
With the opening of the Panama Canal, the voyage between the Atlantic and Pacific banks of all parties has been shortened by at least more than a month, which is of extraordinary significance to the entire Ming Dynasty, nay, the whole world.
"Good! The opening of the Panama Canal is a blessing for the entire Ming Dynasty! Zhu Ciji smiled very happily.
"Congratulations to the Emperor!" Fu Li Yan also immediately smiled and congratulated.
The two major projects of the Americas 6 have started successively, the Grand Canal of Panama, and the main artery of the North-South Railway around the Americas. Today, the Panama Canal has been completed, and the main artery of the North-South Railway around the Americas has been more than half completed.
Once the railway is also completed, the Americas 6 will usher in a period of flying, and it will also truly stabilize the Ming Dynasty's rule over the Americas 6.
"By the way, three years have passed, how is the immigration of the Americas Big 6?" Zhu Ci asked again.
Different from the canal and the north-south railway, the immigration of the Americas 6 is a huge strategy of the Ming Dynasty, which is related to the Ming Dynasty's real assimilation of the Americas 6 and the real integration of the Americas 6 into the Chinese system, which can be much more important to the Ming Dynasty when the two levels of projects are added together.
"Back to the emperor, the immigration bureau has fulfilled its duties and dared not relax at all, and has arranged for more than four million immigrants to settle in various parts of the Americas!" Li Yan replied.
Zhu Ci staggered and nodded, at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty's plan to immigrate to the Americas, the original minimum number was 10 million, and it is expected that 30 million will eventually be immigrated.
The Americas 6 is very far away from the Central Plains and has to cross thousands of miles of the Pacific Ocean.
Even if the Ming Dynasty exerted all its national strength and spent a huge amount of money to build a large number of ocean-going ships carrying immigrants between the two sides of the strait, although there were Hawaiian Islands as a transit, after all, the two sides of the strait were far apart, and the number of immigrants in three years was only a little more than 4 million, which was less than half of the minimum standard of 10 million in the plan.
However, with such a degree, Zhu Ciji is already very satisfied, the American Big 6 is very large, and the Ming Dynasty has time, and in the end, he will be able to completely assimilate the entire American Big 6 and truly incorporate the American Big 6 into the Chinese system.
"However, with the opening of the Panama Canal, it's time to operate two other things!" Zhu Ci said suddenly.
"What the emperor said, isn't it a matter of repatriating the more than 300,000 African Kunlun slaves?" Li Yan asked.
The so-called Kunlun slaves were captured by European countries from central and southern Africa and trafficked to the Americas as black African slaves for immigrants from various countries, with a total of about 360,000 people.
At the beginning, when all Kunlun slaves were recruited to participate in the excavation of the Panama Canal, Zhu Ci said that the opening of the Panama Canal was the day when the Ming Dynasty sent these Kunlun slaves back to Africa.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the ministers obey the order!" Li Yan said.
Perhaps, Zhu Cicheng is really a little racist, but the impression of blacks in his heart is not good.
In the whole world, the most prosperous civilizations are in Asia and Africa, and the great 6 civilizations in the Americas may be very backward, but they have also produced several empires of their own, and they can be regarded as having produced civilizations, and all civilizations are created and multiplied by people with yellow skin or white skin.
On the contrary, the blacks of the Big 6 in central and southern Africa have not been able to produce any civilization on their own.
It's lazy to eat, the primitive fighting of the tribes has always been their mainstream, and when the world entered the age of thermal weapons, they were still in the Stone Age, not only did not have their own systematic language, but also did not have their own civilization.
Language and writing are the foundation of civilization, and they have been exhibited for thousands of years, but even the two most fundamental things have not been able to be displayed, even in later generations, in the period of modernization, black people are still chaotic, backward, and lazy representatives, how can you make Zhu Ci look down on them.
Zhu Ci did not allow such a group to be mixed in the Huaxia system, and besides, the ability of this group to reproduce was too amazing, and it was even more difficult to assimilate.
If a white person and a yellow person are combined, their descendants can be yellow and white There is not much difference, after two generations, the white skin can be completely dyed yellow, and the Chinese civilization is originally white as beauty, so Zhu Cicheng can accept the yellow and white mixed life, as long as the number of Chinese yellow people is always more, in the end, the human race in the Chinese system will always be dominated by yellow people.
However, whether it is a combination of whites or yellows and blacks, the offspring born must be 'black', even after five or six generations, they cannot be completely assimilated, and it may take more than ten generations to be able to fully assimilate, and blacks will only reproduce more and more, not decrease.
Therefore, don't look at the current American Big 6 only has these 300,000 black people, but once they are allowed to do so, they can completely reproduce 100 million or 200 million black people in one or two hundred years, which is too terrifying.
The blacks did not offend Daming, and also helped Daming plant the manor for a few years and open the Panama Canal. Moreover, Zhu Ciji is not a person who loves to kill, otherwise all the pit killings are the most concise, and it does not cost anything, but the cost of repatriation is the greatest.
Zhu Cicheng was able to choose to spend a lot of money to repatriate them to solve them, which was already the most benevolent performance.
With the order given, before the repatriation, the Ming sent edicts to the European countries, informing them of such a thing, so that they were ready to receive these blacks, and not to prevent them from returning to Africa.
The Ming Dynasty was so powerful that European countries naturally did not dare to resist, and they did not need to pay any price for repatriating blacks, but after these blacks were repatriated to Africa, they could immediately be captured and continue to serve as their slaves to help countries open Africa.
In the 29th year of the Ming Dynasty, in mid-December, the Ming Dynasty officially launched the project of repatriating Kunlun slaves, and more than 300,000 African Kunlun slaves boarded ships from Panama and sailed to Africa. Look at them have also made a little contribution to the Ming Dynasty to open the Americas Big 6, this is the most benevolent performance of the Ming Dynasty, originally the big 6 in central and southern Africa is also their hometown, as for what they will have after being sent back to Africa, this is not within the scope of Daming's consideration.
