For the vast majority of Chinese, as long as they are given the opportunity, they will use all the conditions to accumulate wealth quickly, and the speed of accumulating wealth is terrifying, and the Chinese in the Far East are generally targeted by the local government in another time and space, a large part of the reason is because most of the local Chinese have strong financial resources, and they have been strong enough to threaten the government's rule.

Of course, in another time and space, Chinese Americans are also targeted by the U.S. government, which is another situation, which has a lot to do with the fact that Chinese Americans are outside the mainstream of American society and do not actively integrate into American society.

In this time and space, the appearance of Li Mu has almost changed the living conditions of Chinese Americans all over the world, which is good and bad, not to mention the Chinese in the United States, in the Far East, although the establishment of the new Luzon government will improve the living conditions of the Chinese in Luzon, but this will definitely arouse the vigilance of other colonial governments in the Far East, and the local Chinese may be worse in terms of survival, but in this way, the oppression of the colonial government will definitely cause a backlash from the local Chinese, and if it is properly guided at that time, it will be another situation.

In South America, Li Mu has almost bought the entire Bahamas, although the Bahamas is still a British colony, but the influence of the Governor of the Bahamas is limited to the vicinity of Nassau, out of Nassau City, sorry, the other islands have basically belonged to Li Mu, is Li Mu's private property, if the British government wants to take it back, then it is necessary to consider the attitude of the US government, after all, the US government wants to protect the legitimate rights and interests of US citizens overseas, this will not change, even if the US government is unwilling, They also have to pinch their noses and admit it.

What's more, Li Mu also has a strong mercenary army in South America, although those mercenaries nominally accept anyone's employment, but it is undeniable that those mercenaries are actually Li Mu's private army, and in Cuba, Haiti, and even in the entire Caribbean Sea, the Bahamas company and the Panama company have strong influence, which no one can ignore.

Rich, people and guns, Li Mu already has enough confidence to compete with any country in his own one-third of an acre, as for New York, it has almost become Li Mu's private garden, and the "city boss" is not called in vain.

As with other projects before the promotion, Li Mu only makes decisions, others are responsible for implementation, as long as there are no mistakes in the general direction, Li Mu will not fail, and the general direction is exactly what Li Mu is best at, there is no one else in the world who is as familiar with the future as Li Mu, even if Li Mu's plan is not perfect, the huge think tank will also check and fill in the gaps, and the special consultant that the Junma Group spends so much money on every year is not in vain.

At the end of January, on the island of Sakhalin in the far east, a clash between the Russians and the Japanese finally broke out.

In Sakhalin, Russians are mostly concentrated in the Shakhchorsk region, and even if Bai Qi immigrates to Sakhalin, he can completely avoid Shakhchorsk and land on Sakhalin Island from other directions, but under Bai Qi's instructions, Japanese immigrants are more concentrated in the Shakhchorsk region, so that sooner or later the conflict between the two sides will break out on a large scale.

As Li Mu expected, the Russians did not have an advantage in the conflict, and in November last year alone, more than 100 Russians were killed in the conflict, which is already close to one-tenth of the total number of Russians on Sakhalin.

It is strange that Sakhalin, which covers an area of more than 70,000 square kilometers, has only more than 1,000 Russians, and this is the result of many years of efforts by the tsarist government.

In order to solve the situation of the Siberian plain in the desert and desolate population, in 1861, shortly after his accession to the throne, the ambitious Tsar Alexander II issued an edict abolishing serfdom and promulgating the first "Immigration Law" during his tenure, which encouraged migration to the Amur and Primorsky provinces with a number of preferential policies.

The idea is good, but the reality is cruel, Siberia is too far for St. Petersburg, although Tsarist Russia has abolished serfdom, but there are still many remnants of serfdom, all kinds of remnants continue to restrict the movement of people, from 1861 to the present, Russian immigrants to the Far East are only a little more than 10,000 people, an average of only more than 500 people per year.

The number of more than 500 people does seem to be miserable, but this is normal, the Far East has backward production tools, the productivity is underdeveloped, the annual crop growth period is very short, in this short crop growth period, there are weather reasons continue to trouble, the Russians do not have such excellent farming technology as the Chinese, crops only have leaves and do not bear fruit, some crops even mutate, after eating will produce a similar "drunk" effect, many immigrants come to the Far East, simply can not meet the needs of survival through agricultural planting, In the end, I had to leave in disgrace.

Because there was no voluntary emigration, the tsarist government had to enrich the population of the Far East by "exiling" criminals, the main destination of exile was Sakhalin, but this method was also very inefficient, St. Petersburg is 9288 kilometers from Vladivostok, just thinking about this number makes people desperate, at this time the Trans-Siberian Railway has not yet begun to be built, and the criminals are not qualified to take a carriage, and they have to walk all the way from St. Petersburg to Vladivostok on their legs, and it takes a whole year to walk fifty miles a day, so until now, There are only a few thousand Russians on Sakhalin.

Inspired by Li Mu, Bai Qi led Tokugawa to establish an Ezo company to recruit employees from Japan to immigrate to Sakhalin, and in just one year, the Ezo company sent nearly 10,000 employees to Sakhalin, which fundamentally changed the demographic structure of Sakhalin.

In fact, if Tokugawa had not sold a large number of criminals to the Shoma Group, it would have been easier to develop Sakhalin, and when it came to territorial expansion, commercial behavior was far more efficient than government behavior, and Alaska, which the Tsarist government sold to the United States, was actually owned by the Russian American Company, and was not the direct territory of the Tsarist government at all.

Doesn't it sound amazing, more than 1.7 million square kilometers of Alaska, is actually a piece of privately owned land, in fact, this way is very common in these years, such as the East India Company, which has done business all over the world, and the Hudson's Bay Company, which was once known as the "world's largest landowner", etc., and it is for this reason that Li Mu can get the entire Bahamas except for Nassau.

Bai Qi ran the Ezo Company in exactly the same way as Li Mu ran the Bahamian Company, by recruiting the down-and-out samurai in Japan, the Ezo Company sent more than 10,000 people to Sakhalin in batches, and soon the down-and-out samurai clashed with the exiled Russian criminals on Sakhalin, and as a result, the unsuspecting Russians were beaten up by the organized Japanese.

The criminals are not good people, the criminals of the fighting nation are the fighters among the criminals, of course they have to get it back, the Russians did not accept the lesson, and they did not even realize what was happening, so they threw themselves into the battle with the Japanese, and the result was even worse, when the scale of the conflict between the two sides was relatively small, the Russians could still have an advantage with strong individual combat effectiveness at some times, and when they began to enter the organized stage, the Russians began to be fully defeated.

No way, this is the ethnic character of the Russians, especially the Cossacks, Napoleon once said that one Cossack cavalry can defeat two French cavalry, two Cossack cavalry can defeat three French cavalry, 50 Cossack cavalry can only fight with 50 French cavalry, 100 French cavalry can defeat 150 Cossack cavalry or even more.

This contrast is obvious, most of the Russians on Sakhalin are Cossacks, in terms of organizational discipline, the Cossacks and the Japanese are not comparable at all, the Japanese can be called the easiest people in the world to tame, once tamed, the Japanese always behave very disciplined, Bai Qi did a good job in this regard, at least the Japanese in the Ezo company were very disciplined.

The outbreak of a large-scale conflict attracted the attention of the Russian Governor-General of Eastern Siberia, and the Governor of Eastern Siberia sent a special letter to Tokugawa Liyan, asking Tokugawa Liyan to restrain the Ezo Company, and Tokugawa Liyan could restrain Bai Qi, so the scale of the conflict became larger and larger, and by the beginning of February, the conflict was irreconcilable.

"Tsk, restraint, when did the Russians become so civilized?" Li Mu is unfamiliar with such Russians, in Li Mu's concept, Russians should be the kind of people who will explode when they see fire, and it is unlikely that this kind of thing will happen to Russians.

"It's just a delaying tactic, the Russians are not prepared, they are seriously understaffed, to put it bluntly, they can't afford to fight, otherwise the Russians will not be so civilized." Situ Lei also saw through the Russians, this people are not trustworthy at all, they are always on the road of expansion.

It is ridiculous to say that Russia occupies Siberia with an area of 12.76 million square kilometers, and it is almost effortless, and the adventurers who first went to Siberia to explore are almost all outlaws with only a few hundred people, and it is these outlaws who have brought Russia the vast territory of Siberia, and in the process of occupying Siberia, the Russians have not even launched a battle of more than a thousand people, this process is a miracle, so that until now, the Russians have not been able to digest all this, In the vast Siberia, the Russians are pitifully few, so the Eastern Siberian Governor's Office has nowhere to mobilize manpower, and if it wants to deal with the threat of the Ezo Company, then the Russians have to mobilize troops from Europe, and this process probably needs to be measured in "years".

"Tell Bai Qi to work harder, don't wait for the Russians to come to their senses, since there are few Russians, then let him have less, and drive all Russians out of Sakhalin." Li Mu still likes to use "Sakhalin Island" instead of "Sakhalin Island", that island used to be an eternal pain in the hearts of all Chinese people.

Although Russia forced the Qing Dynasty government to cede Sakhalin Island through treaties such as the "Aihun Treaty" and the "Sino-Russian Beijing Treaty", the Japanese did not recognize that Sakhalin Island belonged to the Russians.

Dealing with Russia, in fact, is just Li Mu's personal wish, in the United States, Li Mu probably can't find any allies, after all, the relationship between Russia and the United States is not bad, during the Civil War, the Russians are very smart to stand on the side of the northern government, so the Americans are willing to help the Russians solve the trouble of Alaska.

If you stand in the 21st century, the Russians sold Alaska to the United States is the most loss-making deal in the entire 19th century, but it is not for Russia in the 19th century, until you know that Russia at that time had just lost the Crimean War, and even Tsar Nicholas I committed suicide by taking poison, it can be seen that the Crimean War had a great impact on Russia, in order to sell Alaska to the United States, the Russians even spent 100,000 US dollars to buy American newspapers and political dignitaries to help say good things, so at that time, Before the discovery of gold and oil in Alaska, it was simply a barren land, a place forgotten by the whole world.

Even now, Alaska is a forgotten corner of the world, except for Li Mu.

Li Mu began to immigrate to Alaska since the year before, more than a year, more than 20,000 Chinese have landed in Alaska, in Alaska now, the Chinese are undoubtedly the first major race, if Alaska is now a state, then Alaska is likely to have a second Chinese senator, the funny thing is that because of the strong immigration of the Horse Group, Li Mu and the Horse Group were even praised by the Washington government, I really don't know what kind of mood the Americans will be when they see this history in the future.

"Even if we drive out the Russians, we Chinese will not be able to go up, and this will not be good for us after all." Situ Lei understood some of Li Mu's thoughts, but it was still not thorough enough, fortunately, Situ Lei would not question Li Mu, no matter whether Li Mu's decision Situ Lei understood or not, Situ Lei would not object.

"Don't worry, there will definitely be a bad battle between the Russians and the Japanese on Sakhalin in the future, and we will talk about it after the battle, what we have to do now is to find our own agents in Russia, so that we can easily exert our influence on St. Petersburg." Li Mu's plan has always been to fight the enemy, since the Japanese have "Japanese traitors", then there must be "Russian traitors" in Russia, as long as they are willing to give money, there will always be people who are willing to betray their own nation.
