Chapter 815: Earth Empire
The huge territory brings complex problems, especially in central and northern Asia, which are not suitable for human habitation, and a series of problems will arise, and so far, the proportion of Chinese in these regions is not high.
But in the same way, the proportion of other races is not high, China has a huge population, this is the most critical, in Asia, other places have a population of 10 or 20 million, the largest is India, India in the 11th century, also has a population of more than 80 million, which is second only to the Northern Song Dynasty.
However, after the war, especially some wars and flights, there were almost 20 million people less, and there were 60 million, if the Northern Song Dynasty was still 140 million, it would not be able to integrate so many people at all.
It's a pity that the current Northern Song Dynasty has a total population of 850 million, and the population of the pure Northern Song Dynasty Han people also exceeds 750 million, and it is not very difficult to integrate 60 million with 750 million.
People have homeland plots, in their hometown, it is more difficult to deal with, Zhao Xin can not lay enough population in every place, and gradually assimilate, what he can do is to reduce the population in an all-round way.
For example, in India, China has immigrated a total of 25 million, so the number of Indians who remain in the country will not exceed 2 million, not even one-tenth, and the rest will be transferred to the country, and the super Han people will begin to melt these populations.
The same is true for Europe, with a total population of only 40 or 50 million, and wars and infectious diseases, excluding more than 60 percent, have only 20 million people, which is easier to integrate than India.
In a short period of time, the population of all countries in the world is concentrated in China, to be precise, in this part of East Asia, but East Asia has vast sources of wealth, and only the elite area that originally belonged to China has more than 5 million square kilometers of land, accommodating seven or eight billion people, and there is not much problem.
In this way, even if there are many hidden dangers, even if there are many problems, an unprecedented country, China, which spans three continents such as Europe, Asia and the United States, among them, the Eurasian continent is almost all under the premise that the country is incomparably vast and powerful.
China in the bones, is expansive, from the Spring and Autumn Warring States, countless splits of the country, come together, the formation of the Qin Dynasty this unprecedented unified country, in the history after that, the time of unification is definitely a lot, even if it takes such a huge land, there is no such trouble, China itself occupies more than 95% of the population, the rest, the population is small, more is the existence of some plantations, and there are convenient air and railway links, at least, a short time, there is no problem.
In addition to China itself, Southeast Asia was originally a self-reserved land, and the Americas were also taken, and the Indians could not resist the attack of the Northern Song Dynasty at all, as for Africa, the former had the Sahara Desert and the Arabian Peninsula as a resistance, after taking the South Asian subcontinent, the entire Siberia, Europe and Southeast Asia, the land of the Northern Song Dynasty has reached about 60 million, such a huge land, bringing many problems.
The pace of China's expansion did not stop, after taking Southeast Asia, Zhao Xin drew on the map, in fact, Southeast Asia is the most southeastern, that island, from the New World Oceania, only a short distance, hundreds of kilometers and a thousand kilometers.
There is a saying in later generations that for Europeans, as long as they go to the ocean, as long as the ship passes through the customs, and discover the Americas, it is almost logical, and it is much easier to go from the Atlantic Ocean to the Americas than from the Pacific Ocean, even if the Atlantic Ocean is rough, a simple journey is complete.
This point has also been verified from the Dinghai Navy, on the premise of knowing where the Americas are, on the premise of knowing a clear road, the Dinghai Navy also spent two or three years to find the Americas, you know, the Dinghai Navy not only uses surveying and ranging tools, far stronger than the Europe that has just been discovered by sailing, and the ships are far surpassed.
It can be seen that Europe is blessed, but if the Americas are God's treasure house for Europeans, Oceania is God's gift to Asia, even in the ancient era, in the era when Chinese-style sailing ships just appeared, China has a relatively close connection with Southeast Asia, relying on the islands of Southeast Asia, gradually to the south, it is possible to find the southernmost point of Southeast Asia, Timor-Leste, and between East Timor and Australia, there is a Timor Sea, the diameter of the Timor Sea, That is, more than a thousand kilometers.
At that time, Zheng He and Europe were almost the same as the ocean voyage, and even arrived in Africa earlier than Europe, but on the contrary, he did not go further south along Southeast Asia and missed the opportunity to discover Oceania.
For Zhao Xin, this mistake must not be made again, not to mention that Oceania must be included in the jurisdiction.
Oceania is a vast expanse of land and natural pastures, and after being initially occupied by the British, it soon became a member of the British Commonwealth, and the population was predominantly British.
In the beginning, Australia was just a livestock industry, a natural pasture, which made it the core of the world's animal husbandry, but no one knew that the western part of Australia had countless resources, gold, silver, diamonds, and of course, the most important steel.
Australia's iron ore, which is an important pole of iron ore in the world, is very outstanding in terms of taste and output.
The discovery of Australia is inevitable, even if there are certain twists and turns when crossing the Timor Sea, but even the Americas have been won, Australia is just logical, after the discovery of East Timor, less than 2 months, Australia was discovered.
However, such a huge, desolate land is not particularly important for the current multi-head integration into China, get hundreds of thousands of people, come up to do the initial construction, mainly grazing, I believe that this rich pasture, will bring more income to China.
The huge area, the best developed at present, the area directly under the central government, only located in the core of East Asia, that is, the traditional Chinese region, from north to south, are well developed, this is the most elite mainland of China, but also the population and science and technology, the most elite place.
In addition to this part of the area, there is also a large amount of land in the periphery, which is not very suitable for development in China, and the sparsely populated parts, such as Inner and Outer Mongolia, Xinjiang, Gansu, Tibet, etc., which are second to the core area, as well as Siberia and Southeast Asia, as well as the South Asian subcontinent.
This part of the area, which is close to the core area of China, has been very good after the construction of airports, the development of aviation, and the construction of a large number of railways, and transportation.
But in addition, such as Europe, for example, Central Asia is close to Europe, such as the Americas, and Oceania, these are relatively large lands, with unlimited development possibilities, especially Europe and North America, they are different from Australia, Central Asia, they are all similar to China, similar in dimension, and almost all aspects, have formed a strong and stable country in history, even now, there are not enough immigrants in the past, can not give up.
As an emperor of a dynasty, Zhao Xin does not want the seeds of division to be planted in his time, so only think clearly and solve this problem more properly.
Zhao Xin also thought of it by chance, colonization, although there are such and such problems, the collapse of the colonial system in later generations has also made many so-called world powers fall into dust all of a sudden and become insignificant existences.
For example, Spain, Portugal and the Netherlands, but after seriously thinking about the problems brought about by colonization, Zhao Xin suddenly found that the key to this problem is not in colonization, but in its own population and national strength.
A small country may be able to develop with the help of opportunities when the Age of Navigation and the Industrial Revolution come, and eventually become a belt power, but the foundation is the foundation, the United States, Britain, Russia, after the flashiness, in the end there is a foundation, these countries, the foundation is too poor, once they fail, then there is no chance.
China's current state is completely different from theirs, in countries such as Spain and Portugal, even if they try their best, they are only a few million people, and among them, those who want to emigrate and want to go to the colonies may only be one-twentieth, which is how much, two or three hundred thousand, even if these people have lived for many years, how many people.
China is different, after occupying Europe and the South Asian subcontinent, it already has a population of 950 million, and the proportion of foreign populations has increased slightly, accounting for almost one-eighth of the population, about 120 million.
This also includes 60 million, who have already joined the Dinghai Navy, and after assimilation, there are only Asian races with a certain ancestry, such as Japan, South Korea, Liao, Xixia, and those who really belong to different races, only the newly joined Europe, India, and some people in Central Asia, and their total number together is only 60 million.
Even if 200 million people are sent out of China's native population, and the remaining 600 million or more, it is enough to integrate these people, but the proportion of foreign races is a little higher.
This is a good idea, but it is too far away, the backward management and media means of this era also make Zhao Xin dare not let go easily, and can only develop slowly, in this case, under the premise of no alien race and competition, China has at least a few hundred years of slow development, at this time, colonization is a good choice.
In the absence of a reasonable solution, Zhao Xin can only use colonial policies to solve the problem, of course, this colonization is not an act of the government, but an act of a company.
Based on the East India Company, the establishment of the Royal Company, with the royal family, the aristocracy, the big merchants, and the big capitalists, set up the company, and the company had a peaceful way, rather than the emperor deciding everything, in this case, the company naturally had a huge momentum.
In the Northern Song Dynasty, the system that has been formed will be changed in the colonies, as long as the fleet company, as well as the colonies, are loyal to the Northern Song Dynasty royal family, and the rest, they can be ignored, what Zhao Xin asks for is the ownership of the colony, the proportion of the yellow race, as for the rest, as long as he reigns for one day, everything is not a problem.
Beginning in 1092, with the end of the European strategy, the development of the whole China once again took on its wings, stepped into a fast lane, and developed rapidly.
In 1100 AD, when entering the 12th century, Zhao Xin's age also passed 61 years old, and he reigned for more than 50 years.
This may be the new technology after a thousand years, his genetic changes, not only make Zhao Xin's body have stronger strength, faster speed, more energy, but also have stronger vitality.
If it is said that when he was young, this vitality of life was more manifested in his energy, in his youth, Zhao Xin could only sleep about 3 hours a day, and he had strong energy and could handle everything in the huge empire, but when he was thirty, he stood up, and after forty was not confused, it represented youth.
In 1100 AD, that is, in the 12th century, 61-year-old Zhao Xin also only needed to sleep 3 hours a day, and had very strong energy, physical functions, and all aspects, not much worse than 20 years old.
Even if Zhao Xin is not sensitive to this, he also found some differences, this genetic engineering is all-round, and even makes up for some shortcomings, solves the problem of some diseases, and makes his life and youth begin to prolong, although I don't know, how long can this eventually reach, but conservatively estimated, there is no problem in living over 100 years old.
Since 1100 A.D., China's development has entered a new chapter, the increase in land area, the continuous growth of population, the development of science and technology, the whole world, except for Africa, resources are open to China, materials and science and technology are enough under the premise, plus Zhao Xin such a guide, everything goes well.
Even, with the development of transportation and military, Africa has also appeared in the colonial sequence of the Royal Company, of course, South America is also an exception, the seven continents of the world, except for a frozen Antarctic continent, the rest, most of them are in the hands of China, China is no longer an empire on which the sun never sets, and has become a veritable kingdom of the earth, which was a few decades ago, when Zhao Xin crossed, it was unimaginable, but now it is in front of us.
