Chapter 813: The main thing is that there are too few Han Chinese
It's not that Liu Yan is addicted to killing people, and it's not that he exterminates the clan at every turn to show the authority from the Son of Heaven, it's the really bizarre evil sect in this place, first raised the Xianbei clan, and then there are the Khitan and Mokuxi after the split of Yuwen Xianbei, and then the Jurchen and the Later Jurchen, if you want to say which land is rich in foreign races and can dominate or gain the world, it really doesn't include the most land in Liaodong and the north and east.
Liu Yan didn't know how those nations came about, and he didn't know if killing all the savages of this generation could prevent the birth of those peoples. He had already ordered a specific attack on Khitan and Mokuxi before, but it was not an order to kill them all, it was to merge if it could be fused, and if it was confirmed that it was difficult to fuse, it would really be slaughtered.
It has to be said that the current Khitan and Mokuxi have not yet shaken, they are the remnants of Yuwen Xianbei after the split, the population is tens of thousands, and they have not mastered the metal smelting technology for the time being.
Khitan and Mokuxi didn't know that they would develop in the future and become masters in the Central Plains, let alone that their troops would approach West Asia, and they didn't know that there was a certain period of time when there was only one country in the East in the eyes of Westerners, Liao. They only knew that if they wanted to survive, they had to become a naturalized Hu, and they would work hard for at least ten years, during which they would have to work hard to learn the Chinese language and the living habits of the Han people, and strive to change to the status of Han nationality.
"They are very smart, and very few people are resisting." One of LΓΌ Tai's responsibilities was to supervise the Khitan and Mokuxi: "In comparison, savages are more difficult to tame. β
The savages are a general term, they do not have their own clan names, and they have descendants from many defeated tribes such as Fuyu, Lulou, Quwo, Shennu, etc., and hundreds or thousands of people converge into a tribal form of settlement. Some of these tribes actually mastered very primitive farming skills, as well as weaving skills, but in very few cases.
The footsteps of the Han army have advanced to the Heilongjiang region of later generations, and the farthest place to explore is to the outer Xing'an Mountains. In fact, this land is currently in a primitive state, and 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.
Liu Yan will not continue to the northeast immediately when he arrives in Gaoxian, waiting for the follow-up troops to come over is on the one hand, and on the other hand, he did not stop to inspect the counties when he came, and he can take a good look at Gaoxian.
"It's going to snow here in October?" Liu Yan walked through the streets of Gaoxian City, looking at the buildings on both sides that had obviously not been built for a long time, and saw the triangular eaves that were steeper than those in the mainland, which was to better clear the snow. He led people into a room, and the people in it had been temporarily invited away in advance, and when they arrived in the bedroom, they sat on a big kang: "This thing is a magic weapon to ensure that you can sleep peacefully." β
In fact, the ancients were not reluctant to open up to this side, but they really couldn't stand the cold, and there were no effective means to prevent the cold.
The Han Kingdom had already developed wool weaving, and cotton had also been obtained and developed, and it was this place that was given priority. With basic cold-proof clothing, you also need the rest of the means, don't think about heating or anything, the fire kang has really become a magic weapon, at least you don't have to worry about lying down and sleeping because of the cold and can't get up the next day.
There are thick quilts piled on top of the big kang made of bricks and stones, and Liu Yan's buttocks don't feel warm when he sits down, mainly because it's not the season to burn the kang yet, and it's not enough to burn the kang and cover the thick quilt Whether he will toss himself to death Don't mention it first, it should be so hot that he can't sleep.
Because there is a real need for ondols, the difficulty of making masonry is almost none, and 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.
In fact, there is open-pit coal in Liaodong and Northeast China, but the quantity is not much, and the real large production area of open-pit coal is in Jingchu, but there is also a large open-pit coal mine on the adjacent grassland, which is extremely inconvenient to transport at present.
Speaking of the grassland, it is not that there are no resources, it is not the animal husbandry industry, but there is still a super large iron ore reserve there, especially there is no need to dig deeply, and it has been explored by the Han Kingdom.
Nomads have always lived on the grasslands, but they have not turned on smelting technology, and they have not extended their ore exploration skills, and the super iron mine has been quietly staying underground, and it has to wait until modern times to be found.
If you want to talk about metal ores, in fact, the reserves of various metal ores in the Northeast are also very rich, and there is not much difficulty in mining the mines in some places, the difference is whether you can find them.
The resources of this bitter cold land will not be the priority exploitation sequence of the Han Kingdom, mainly as a grain production area, and it will be necessary to wait for the construction of the grain production area in the Northeast Great Plain to carry out detailed exploration of various resources.
According to Liu Yan's meaning, any resource is given priority to the use of the local area, and the local resources will be reserved, that is, it will be a big trouble in terms of transportation.
For example, the Han people have discovered a large copper mine in the Luzon Islands, and if it is extremely cost-effective to simply transport the copper ore back to the local area for smelting, it is not appropriate to smelt the gold and silver ore found in the country, and the same is true for iron ore.
"First clean up all the valuable equipment, and then deal with the inferior value resources with the equipment that has been built." Liu Yan was not sure whether the Han people could permanently possess those overseas lands, and subconsciously did not want to leave anything valuable: "If the immigration goes smoothly, the widow will not have such troubles." β
At present, the territory of the Han State has been expanded repeatedly, but there are no civilians at all in a considerable number of areas, and there must be a colonial army, and the labor force basically depends on the capture of natives.
They all say that they are indigenous, that is, they are so ignorant that they are jaw-dropping savages, especially the natives on the other side of the South Seas are the most exaggerated, to the point where they don't understand anything, and to live is to sleep and pick the food given by nature, which means that there is no concept of labor or something.
"So in comparison, although the savages in the northeast are unruly, at least they don't have to teach everything from the blank." Liu Yan didn't know what to look like when he thought of those pieces from Nanyang: "Those monkeys are very tame, but they can't teach them, and those who know how to do them don't want to be diligent." β
Don't think that the Han people capture slaves only for the domesticated Northeast savages who do not obey the domestication, the real place to kill the most is in the Indochina Peninsula and the Nanyang Islands, but those monkeys are afraid of death, but the gods would rather be lazy to death, kill batch after batch, can play a deterrent effect, but than afraid of death those monkeys are more afraid of work.
Liu Yan thought about it, no wonder the economy of Nanyang in later generations relied on Chinese immigrants, even if it was the Westerners who went to colonize the main labor force and created wealth, it was also Chinese immigrants, the problem was that those Chinese immigrants were used as leeks, and the Westerners were cut when they colonized, and after the monkeys became independent, they were continuously cut.
Looking around the Han Kingdom, the hard-working people are also the Japanese people, and they still belong to the type of hard-working and resentful people, which leads to the Han Kingdom's choice of overseas labor force and the priority is the Japanese people.
So far, not counting the Japanese who served as servants, the population sent out by the Han State from the Japanese Islands has reached an exaggerated 470,000, which is almost emptying three-four out of ten of the population of the Japanese Islands. In addition to serving as servants, men became the main labor force of the Han State overseas, and women of appropriate age were transported back to China.
Sometimes Liu Yan wonders if he is helping the Japanese people to carry out alternative expansion? If it continues, not to mention the Han mainland, at least the Nanyang Islands will breed a large number of Japanese descendants, and if Australia is found, a large number of Japanese people will be transported as labor, I am afraid it will become an alternative version of "black slave diffusion".
The black people in Africa were sold all over the world except for Zhuxia because of the slave trade, and their ancestors were miserable, but their descendants were at least much better than the black Africans, and they could be regarded as successful in going to the world. (There are also a lot of blacks in modern Guangzhou)
"The Han will soon increase the source of slaves." Sang Yu was talking about the Ah San Continent: "General Zhengnan has already marched into the Gupta border, as long as he can annihilate the main force of Gupta over there, Ah San over there will be at the disposal of the Han Dynasty." β
Huan Wen is still consolidating Jitanado, relying on the recognition of the privileges of the local Brahmins, Kshatriyas and other high castes, and has come to a Yia San to govern Ah San, making full use of the local manpower and resources, that is, Ah San is really not suitable as a source of soldiers, at least the largest number of untouchables is really not suitable.
"Huan Wen surprised the widow this time." Liu Yan originally thought that Huan Wen would use iron-blooded means, but he didn't expect to use a more high-handed political dividing method: "He can be on his own." β
Ah San should be one of the best nations in the world to conquer, as long as they can win over their high castes and ensure that the high castes continue to live in luxury, in fact, they will not care about the life or death of the lower castes.
It was not the British who found out this characteristic, but actually the Spaniards and the French, who relied on the means of bribery to make the Asan high caste accept their existence and be willing to cooperate, and stood firm on the side of the Asan and began to colonize, and the British defeated the Spanish and French colonists later, but not defeated the Asan to obtain colonial rights.
The British continued the policy of the Spaniards and the French towards the Assan, but they still encountered a few decent wars against the Sikhs, and the British also suffered defeats in the face of the Sikhs in some periods, and then relied on the "size" of the huge colonies, and it was that set of means of bribery and division that the Sikhs were "crushed" to death.
The Ah San continent is very special, the more southern Ah San the easier it is to conquer, and the more northern Ah San isan is the higher the spirit of resistance.
According to the Persians, the southerners on Ah San's side did not live under much pressure, and the city-states were generally wealthy, and their interest in religion was much higher than that of others, and the former Yueshi people completed their conquest of Ah San by recognizing their religious status and caste system; The rest of the northern Asan lives relatively poorly, and the northern Asan mostly lives in the mountains, and they have more connections with Central Asian countries, especially the glorious history of defeating and stopping the conqueror of Europa, Alexander the Great, and their morale is more than twice as high as that of the southern Asan.
Liu Yan must be able to conquer Ah San, that is, there is no clear concept of how long the Ah San Continent can be turned into a colony, and the Gupta Dynasty will be cleaned up first, and then the surrounding land should be divided.
That's right, although Liu Yan also agreed to the development of each family on its own in the Indochina Peninsula, it was not a feud, and each developing family could only obtain a tax exemption policy for several years, and could also obtain a piece of land under the name of the family, but most of the land, including resources, was still owned by the state.
The Indochina Peninsula is close to the mainland, so it will not be too difficult to digest, and it has also had a history as a local since the Western Han Dynasty, and it should definitely not be used as a feudal place.
The Asan Continent is not far from the mainland, especially Liu Yan will inevitably include the plateau in the territory, and the two places are actually connected from the map. The important key is that the map looks connected, but there are Himalayas, and then there is the plateau that ordinary people can go up, even if there is no Himalaya, the plateau alone is enough for the Han Kingdom to drink a pot.
In fact, if the Western Regions are recovered, and then advance a thousand miles or so, from that side you can also directly turn into the Asan side, you can use Chang'an as a starting point, the total length is twenty or thirty thousand miles, if it is from the hinterland of the Central Plains or the south of the Yangtze River or even the eastern Liaodong region, it is really a long and terrible journey.
Distance and geographical barriers determine that the first choice to go to Ah San is to take the sea route, the sea is full of dangers and uncertainties, and then the country has a line called the stability of the rule, the farther that line is from the center, the greater the cost of rule.
According to Liu Yan's thoughts, the Asan Continent can only exist as a plundering resource in the future, and it is not the right time to be included in the local area anyway, maybe it will not be possible to wait for him to die, the reason is that in addition to the distance, the number of Asan in the local area is really too much.
The population of the Gupta Dynasty alone is nearly 30 million, not counting the rest of the countries, God knows how many people the continent is, considering that the Gupta Dynasty has nearly 30 million, Vagataka seems to have 15 million, and then counting the population of 20 or 30 countries such as Satrap, Apila, Jidora, Dongkushan, Yudehya, Nara, etc., it is at least 50 million people.
At least ten years the Han State will not be able to swallow 50 million Ah San, if it really wants to "eat" it, it will be equivalent to the Han State has two major ethnic groups, that is an extremely unstable internal ethnic structure, the most stable national structure of the country should be only one main ethnic group, and the best whole country is only one ethnic group.
"In the future, the best way to reduce the population of Asan by any means is to let them consume in various labor processes." Liu Yan didn't think there was anything evil, it was all in modern times, and the hunting of Indians by Americans was still regarded as legitimate behavior by the world's powers, and no one cared about genocide in the current years: "Building roads and mining is what Ah San should do." β
At present, the Han Kingdom is overhauling the road, don't think that the road is very safe, more than 120,000 slaves have died in various sections of the road in two years, that is not the intention of the Han Kingdom, it is a very pure accident.
Liu Yan said in a pondering tone: "Waiting for the road to be almost repaired, and digging enough ore, Ah San estimates that it should be almost consumed." β
