The situation in the Huaxia Kingdom is getting better and better, and when others are fighting into a pot of porridge, they are desperately developing.

According to Zhou Congee's report this year, the population of China has reached 350 million, and the grain output can meet the annual consumption of these populations, and the water and land transportation can meet the slowest distance from south to north in one and a half months on land, if you want to reach the most distant Indonesian colony, you need to add 15 days by sea, if you go to other islands, you have to add 4 or 5 days by sea, if you go to the Mongolian steppe, the farthest northern conquest, it takes an extra day or two to arrive from Indonesia.

The east-west traffic is a little short, but as the battle progresses, it only takes a month and a half to reach the place where the frontline is being fiercely fought.

With the laying of the foundation of the horse-drawn railway, many cities close to the city have been able to use these railways for population and freight transfer, this is said to be a large amount, single walking is obviously not suitable, because the speed of the carriage on the road is faster than the railway, the railway has to change the carriage every ten miles, the long distance is not good, but suitable for short distance, equivalent to the bus of later generations.

Horse-drawn carriages on the road, horse-drawn trains running on the railway, and convenient passenger ships on the waterway, which made the transportation of the Huaxia Kingdom to a higher level, and the people traveled conveniently, and many people began to travel and see the outside world.

People have adapted to the fact that there is no imperial examination, but only from private schools to schools, from village to county schools, from county to prefecture schools, from prefectures to prefecture schools, all the way to Kyoto University, the upgrading learning process of Beijing Taixue, the talent selection process, all the graduates are allotted, do not want to wait for the distribution, or are not satisfied with the distribution, they can start a career by themselves, starting from the school of the government, after graduation, you can find a job by yourself, and the government will give a certain subsidy.

If you have been unemployed for three years, have not started a career, and do not want to continue working hard, you can go to the Advisory Bureau for the record, and the Advisory Bureau is responsible for finding a job for them to solve the employment problem.

At the end of the year, Zhang Qiang opened up his business and allowed foreign traders to come to the Huaxia Kingdom to do business, without having to transfer materials through domestic merchants.

However, due to the lack of materials and the gradual decrease in population on the Manchu side, the war continued to expand, and Russia was not easy to provoke, so it hurriedly mobilized troops and horses from Europe, 20,000 Cossack cavalry, and 30,000 Russian expeditionary troops crossed the Ural Mountains to the Far East, getting closer and closer to the Far East occupied by the Manchus, and was about to start a war with the Manchu conquering soldiers and horses.

In order to make up for the loss of population and soldiers, the Manchus began to devour Goguryeo, almost dividing the remaining population and territory of Goguryeo with Japan, and the population base changed from 28 million to 40 million.

Nearly 500,000 soldiers and horses were conscripted from Goguryeo, and 2 million people of Goguryeo were driven into the Far East to occupy and rule, and the Far East already had a population, with more than 1 million Manchus in the Qing Dynasty, more than 100,000 people from the Shengfan Jurchen tribe captured in the mountains and fields, 500,000 Japanese servants, and 300,000 Japanese people.

They are advancing rapidly, and they are about to collide with the Russian expeditionary force, another big war.

In order to make the Manchus go to war with Russia, Zhang Qiang unusually stopped the war with the Manchus, and sent an envoy Yao Qisheng to discuss with Kangxi, exchanging the territory of Liao Province for 2 million Japanese people outside the Guan, 300,000 Japanese servants, and releasing the remaining Manchu Manchus to capture 100,000 people.

Kangxi discussed with his ministers and princes for three months, but it was not until they fought with 20,000 Cossack cavalry and lost a crushing defeat in the first battle, 100,000 soldiers and horses were slaughtered, 300,000 people were captured, and nearly 100 square kilometers of land were occupied.

This is definitely a unique deal, which surprised many people, the Manchu Qing and Huaxia, which have always been hostile relations, began to negotiate, and many people can't accept it in their hearts, but many high-level people know that this is a clever plan to drive away the wolf, and the Huaxia Kingdom has always played like this.

And the Manchu Hanchen could not accept such a change, there was no diplomacy in their thoughts, they were all loyal to the Manchu Qing ideology, and they all wanted to fight back to Guannai to restore the Manchu rivers and mountains.

But Zhang Qiang knows what kind of person Kangxi is, Kangxi is a very smart person, not Cixi, not the Manchu Dynasty in the last days, this person is very smart, he knows that if he wants to develop the Manchu Qing Dynasty and strengthen the Manchu Qing Dynasty, if he wants to fight back, he must get more population and territory, so he is often arbitrary and orders reconciliation with the Huaxia Kingdom, ostensibly reconciled.

In fact, the Han Dynasty played this kind of game with the nomads in the northern grasslands, supported your guns and food, and then let you kill each other, so as not to plunder our Han Dynasty in the Central Plains.

What can be done with some money, they generally solve the problem in this way, in order to keep their rights and status and the Han dynasty.

After half a year of negotiations, they finally opened a mutual market in Liaoshen to allow businessmen from both sides to trade, but arms materials and strategic materials can generally only be traded with the Ministry of Industry and Commerce and the Ministry of Military Intelligence of the Kingdom of China.

At the end of 1674, the two sides traded a total of 3 million people, 50 million Huaxia Yuan materials, 60 million Huaxia Yuan weapons and equipment, and even some Chinese Kingdom carriages, and in the process, the Zhao Fox Corps of the Huaxia Kingdom successfully advanced to the Liaodong Peninsula, occupied Liaoshen, and restored the various castles and defensive postures set up here by the Ming Dynasty.

The First Fleet of the Navy Division sent ships to set up a base in Dalian Bay and stationed a detachment to completely occupy this sea area and the Liaodong Peninsula.

The Manchu army seized them and the weapons and equipment of the Dajin Kingdom, the Manchu Qing Dynasty frantically armed soldiers and horses, transported materials, built roads to the Far East, and transported the mined giant trees from the Far East, as well as ginseng and coal, to the Liaoshen Peninsula and sold them to the Huaxia Kingdom, in exchange for the support of the Huaxia Kingdom.

A large number of soldiers and people were transferred to the Far East, and by 1675, the Manchus had 20 million people and 3 million soldiers and horses in the Far East, and the battle with the Russians had escalated.

Russia sent more soldiers and horses, 300,000 expeditionary troops, 100,000 Cossack cavalry, foreign soldiers and horses from other places, and even soldiers and horses from Poland and Sweden.

Although the Japanese annexed Goguryeo, they wanted to suppress the rebel army of Goguryeo on the one hand, and develop themselves on the other, and their population was the biggest shortcoming.

In order to gain the support of the Manchus, they sent troops to help the Manchus fight the Russians, and the Manchus gave them the two million people they had obtained from the Kingdom of China, and they only reached six million people, 600,000 soldiers and horses, of which 300,000 were sent to the Far East to help the Manchus.

In order to regain its Far Eastern territory, Russia deployed manpower from all over the country, and nearly five million serfs were armed and sent to the Far East, and the fighting between the two sides became bigger and bigger.

Kangxi didn't know what kind of behemoth he had encountered.
