Feng Yunshan knows that in history, because of domestic disasters and brutal rule, since the middle of the 19th century, more peasants secretly crossed the border to settle in the northeast, especially in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, it was a large-scale migration, and finally even as many as more than 2 million people migrated. Not only that, but some ordinary people who could not survive in North Korea went so far as to go to the bitter cold regions of Siberia to reclaim land and seek a way to survive.

In this case, Feng Yunshan thought that it would be better for the empire to directly organize these Korean people who were willing to go to the river network areas around the Suifen River and the Wusuli River to open up the wasteland, of course, this had to be done if they recognized themselves as the subjects of the Chinese Empire and were willing to pay taxes to the empire in the future.

However, it is not possible to make it populated entirely by Korean peasants, so that if there is an independence in the future, it will be a dowry for others. Feng Yunshan always believed that if it was not a place where the Han people settled down, it could never be regarded as the land of China. Therefore, Feng Yunshan's intention was to immigrate more Han Chinese to the outer northeast region at the same time. After all, with a population of 400 million in China, even if it costs a lot of money and takes a lot of time, as long as one thousandth of immigrants and 400,000 people can hold this territory and completely turn it into the homeland of the Han people!

Feng Yunshan planned to start immediately, recruiting displaced people from some poor areas in the north, such as Shaanxi, Gansu, Shandong, Zhili, Henan, and Anhui, to reclaim the famine, and provide subsidies such as road expenses and farm tools and cattle seeds without collecting taxes, so as to guide the people of the Han Dynasty to take root in this fertile field, and with the diligence of the Chinese people, in a few years, this deserted river beach can be turned into a granary in the northeast.

What's more, there are still so many White Horse Sect members, and Taiwan and other islands can't be accommodated much, just right, this outer northeast region, which is vast and sparsely populated, can be used to settle some of them. As long as the proportion of Han Chinese always occupies a large proportion, it will be.

Feng Yunshan's plan is to start at the beginning of next year, spend three years, immigrate 400,000 Han compatriots to the outer northeast region, and at the same time recruit 100,000 garrisons as a farming army, half soldiers and half agricultural land stationed in the outer northeast region, and then occupy it first. As for the Russians who have already established a stronghold at the mouth of the Heilongjiang River, Feng Yunshan has not paid attention to it for the time being. In the entire Heilongjiang estuary, several strongholds add up, and there are only more than 1,000 Russians, which is not enough to pose a threat.

The reason why the Manchus abandoned these places at the beginning was that the population was too small, and they refused to send Han troops there. In fact, if the Manchus had been able to send a force of 5,000 troops to garrison Vladivostok and other areas, these places would not have been gradually encroached upon and occupied by polar bears with hundreds or thousands of mercenaries, and it was precisely because of the huge benefits found after the occupation that they took advantage of the fire to loot these territorial claims in the Second Opium War.

Now, Feng Yunshan doesn't care so much, with the support of huge national strength, he directly immigrated to occupy the past, and implemented the method of combining military hoarding and civilian reclamation, and gradually advanced, and the entire Outer Northeast and Siberia will fall into the pocket of the Chinese Empire.

Feng Yunshan waved his hand, and just wanted Zuo Zongtang and Mao Qi to hurry back to the General Staff Headquarters to arrange for troops, Liu Shengbang suddenly came in to report: "Your Majesty, Fan Ruzeng, Director of the Special Services Department, asked to meet Your Majesty, saying that there is a military report from South Asia!" ”

"Announce that he has come to see me!" Feng Yunshan hurriedly ordered. Fan Ruzeng left Shengjing a while ago and went out, needless to say, there must be something important, and now that he comes back, he must have something to report to himself. I didn't know what the news was, Feng Yunshan couldn't wait to find out, so he hurriedly summoned him.

"Wechen visit my emperor, may my emperor live long live." After Fan Ruzeng finished bowing, he got up and looked back at Zuo Zongtang and Mao Qi next to him.

Feng Yunshan understood what he meant, and smiled directly: "Fan Aiqing has worked hard all the way. Zuo Aiqing and Mao Aiqing are both their own people, you can say it directly. ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen was in Yunnan some time ago, and he lost a lot of good hands from the secret service, and finally got the news of Li Kaifang, and also learned the news of Hindustan and Myanmar. Because it was too important, Weichen rushed back to Shengjing day and night to report to His Majesty. "Fan Ruzeng is a young man in the end, and he is a ruthless and cautious head of the secret service department in front of outsiders, but in front of Feng Yunshan, he can't help but have a little bit of merit.

After he finished talking about the origin of the matter, he directly said: "After Commander Li Kaifang led more than 20,000 soldiers of the captive army into Burma, he contacted the prince of Burma according to His Majesty's plan, helped him launch a coup d'état, and sat on the throne of the king of Burma. Grateful for the kindness of the Empire, he paid tribute to the Chinese Empire, and agreed to join Commander Li in rebelling against the British and expelling the British troops who occupied Lower Burma from the country. They have already sent a tribute procession to the vassal state of the Shengjing Dynasty, but they may not have arrived yet because of the long distance. Immediately afterwards, Li Kaifang led his troops and the Burmese army to divide into two routes, and quickly defeated the 4,000 British troops in Burma along the way, attracting a general named Henry of the British army to lead the main force of more than 10,000 British troops from Calcutta to support Burma. After the British reinforcements arrived in Lower Burma, Li Kaifang led the main force of the captive army and the Burmese army to attack Bengal in one fell swoop, conquering Chittagong and Dhaka in succession, and defeating the main force of the British army that came to intercept it in one fell swoop. As a result, there was a serious shortage of British soldiers in the city of Calcutta, which in turn triggered an anti-British rebellion by the Muslim natives inside and outside the city, and the remnants of the British such as Canning, the governor of the British East India Company, fled from the city of Calcutta. ”

After Fan Ruzeng finished talking about the ins and outs of the matter, he looked up at Feng Yunshan, for fear that the emperor would not understand, and added with a happy face: "Your Majesty, the person sent by Senior Commander Li to report the news, Weichen has returned to Beijing with him, and the list of seizures is also requested to be seen by Your Majesty!" ”

After speaking, he carefully took out a list from his bosom and held it high above his head.

Liu Shengbang just wanted to come over and present it to Feng Yunshan, Feng Yunshan waved his hand, Fan Ruzeng was his cronies, and he was afraid that he would harm himself, so he directly took the list with his own hands, and when he saw it, he was stunned by a burst of surprise!

gold and silver jewellery and pounds sterling and silver dollars worth more than five million saint dollars; more than 30,000 boxes of Bengali tobacco, worth more than 10 million silver dollars; The 24,000 quintals of tea were all black tea from Fujian, which must have been due to the shortage of merchant ships caused by the Crimean War, and the British merchants bought it and stored it in Calcutta, but it had not yet had time to be shipped to Britain; There are more than a dozen carts of antique cultural relics all over Bangladesh, and this is really hard to estimate the price; Bangladeshi native goods, pearls, jute, sugar and other hundreds of cars......

This is not over, Feng Yunshan turned over the list of seizures again, and there were a large number of seized weapons:

25,000 foreign guns, although they were all Indian front-loading smoothbore guns; 70 artillery pieces of various sizes; 30,000 barrels of gunpowder, millions of bullets of various paper bags, and tens of thousands of shells.

Feng Yunshan's eyes widened, Rao was the emperor of the Chinese Empire who was rich, and his hands were a little trembling, and his throat couldn't help but be a little tight, and he exclaimed: "This, this, the seizure is so huge, Master Li has made a great achievement!" Good, good, good! ”

Feng Yunshan was shocked in his heart. Although he knew that India was also as rich as China, he still didn't expect that it would be so rich. However, from Fan Ruzeng's explanation, he also learned that the reason why so many seizures were actually due to the fact that the British concentrated the wealth of the entire Northeast Indies and Bengal Jurisdiction in Calcutta, but even so, it was too rich.

This is just a hasty seizure. It is no wonder that the Western colonizers in history liked to invade everywhere, and this war wealth was really easy to make. Feng Yunshan couldn't help but feel excited, if the whole of India was occupied, what should it do? However, this is just a thought, this time it is in the name of the Burmese army to attack Kolkata, if it is directly declared war with the British, the empire does not have that strength.

India's idea still can't be beaten. After all, India was too important to the British, and the British did not want to lose India in any case, even if they lost places like Australia or Canada. Now it is only because of the Crimean War that has just occurred, and then there are riots in various Indian states, and when Britain reacts, it will inevitably send a large army to quell the Indian rebellion, and it is not realistic to occupy India for a long time.
