Chapter 892: I am Chinese, I am proud

At the end of November of the 18th year of Chengtian, China, Russia and Austria jointly signed the "Nanjing Treaty".

The Second Russo-Chinese War, the Sixth Russo-Turkish War, which lasted more than three years, ended.

China has achieved great results in this war, although those lands are regarded by many people as bitter cold and barren wilderness at this time, and seem to have no value at all.

The day after the agreement was signed, Chen Han's cabinet announced that the land north of Heilongjiang would be sold to the whole society at a super low price of 5 yuan per mu. After surveying in recent years, a total of 55 million mu of land is available for sale in the north of Heilongjiang.

The total area of pastures and fields available for sale in northern Mongolia is much larger than that in northern Heilongjiang, and Lake Baikal itself is home to many Mongols and Han Chinese. It seems that many people are not ready to move west.

As for the West Siberian Plain, it is also a super low price of 5 yuan per acre, and the total area available for sale is more than the northern part of Heilongjiang and the Beihai region combined.

When Chen Han announced this policy, the Russian and Swedish missions had not yet left Nanjing, and when they saw this policy, the former was heartbroken, and the latter was full of envy.

But the people of these two countries do not know that although Chen Han's 'results' this time recovered more than 500 million yuan for the national treasury in the following year, in the next hundred years, whether it is the northern region of Heilongjiang, the North Sea region, or the western Siberian region, the total number of Chinese living in these lands is only 10 million, and it seems that it is not as large as the population of Siberia occupied by Russia in the original time and space.

Chen Ming also noticed this situation several years later, and many people bought land, but very few people actually migrated there. He was very distressed for a while, and thought about the reason for it, and finally felt that it was because the population was too small and China was too big.

In this era, Chinese people have too many choices.

If they go to Nanyang, to Nanmingzhou, to North America, isn't that better than going to Siberia?

Although the 'cost of living' in those places is higher than in Siberia, Siberia is too desolate, isn't it?

Nowadays, the country has gradually increased its investment in education, and more and more children have the opportunity to go to school and go to night school.

And the ghost place in Siberia, if you want to form a complete education chain, it will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey?!

In the 19th year of Chengtian, that is, in 1793 of the Western calendar, the eyes of the Oriental world were all concerned about a huge turnover, and in mid-October of that year, the 'land purchase movement' presided over by the Chen Han cabinet was a huge success - the total turnover exceeded 500 million, and a small half of the military expenditure spent in the war for several years was suddenly returned. Among them, there are more than 2,000 land sales cases with a single transaction volume of more than 100,000 yuan.

The extent of support for the government by the industrial and commercial class in Chen Han is staggering. Although these people are also seeking to buy mines while buying fields, they can't be developed now, and they are not suitable for development, but can this be kept for the future, and can it become the foundation of the business family, right?

This is like the gold mine on the Kamchatka Peninsula, which is obviously not suitable for mining in this era, and even the gold mine in Xiangzhou is more suitable for development than anywhere, but when the Ministry of Mines auctioned the permanent mining rights of the gold mine, the domestic merchant consortium led by the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce quickly swept away one of them.

Of course, the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce played a leading role here, and people with higher status could vaguely know that the permanent mining rights of those gold mines were not only in the hands of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce, but also directly in the hands of the emperor.

And the emperor also said a word to the gold mines of the Kamchatka Peninsula: Put it in a hundred years, and then look at it.

When the cabinet openly sold Siberian land, the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce once again made a big move, grabbing two or three million mu of land in Beihai, northern Heilongjiang and the West Siberian plain.

In the entire nineteenth year of Chengtian, that was the happy time when the people of Chen Han enjoyed the dividends of the war.

Although this area is more populated by the Northeast, Northwest and Mongolian regions, the people of the interior are less enthusiastic about immigrating to Siberia or spending money to buy land in Siberia.

But in the entire second Sino-Russian war, it was the people of the Northeast, Northwest and Mongolia who paid the greatest sacrifices, right?

Therefore, when a large number of Wehrmacht troops withdrew from the front line with the joy of victory and high spirits, these ordinary people who paid in the war enjoyed a rare war dividend, which is also logical.

In the nineteenth year of Chengtian, the entire empire didn't look outward.

Liu Dezhao held cabinet meetings again and again to discuss the division of the territory of the Mongol Khanate and the Kazakh Khanate, which was not difficult to solve, but what was difficult to solve was the order of allocation of 'Chinese aid'.

If no matter how stupid the prairie is, he will not admit that the archer horse will be invincible in the world, and in the face of muskets, artillery rockets, the archer horse is a fart.

And the nomads have the best understanding of force.

Whoever has a hard fist will have the right to speak, and whoever will be able to occupy interests.

At the beginning, the Turks were not as tough as the Dzungars, and then they were forced to leave Europe.

And after arriving in the Volga Valley, after the first good days, the Turks were not as tough as the Russian Empire, so they could only bow down to St. Petersburg and then charge for the Russians again and again.

Therefore, the leader of every nomadic tribe is considered to be the most important for 'force'.

Wu Baxi came directly to Nanjing, from the northwest, and came to the door again and again to the cabinet and the metropolitan governor's office, asking for the cabinet to build an arsenal for the Turgut Khanate first, even if they need to exchange iron materials, then they are willing.

For the Metropolitan Governor's Office, it is a request to allow the younger generation of the Turgots to have the opportunity to enter the military academy and the political, legal, economic, and other colleges for further study, with a focus on the military academy, and then hope that the improved horse breeds held by the Metropolitan Governor's hands can be 'rewarded' to the Turgot Ministry.

Chen Ming was in the area west of Lake Balkhash, as far as the eastern shore of the Caspian Sea, south to Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan, and was extended to Western Siberia, a total of three Kazakh khanates and four Mongol khanates.

The former is the Three Accounts Kazakh, the Big Yuz, the Middle Yuz and the Little Yuz, and now one person has set up a family business.

And the four Mongol khanates, who really, this number is really not much. A single wheel is no stronger than the three small Kazakh khanates.

The Turghut Khanate is one of them, the Khalkha Khanate [Outer Mongolia as the main body] is the second, the Western Mongolia [Ching Hai and the Northern Mongolian Tribes of Thuaning] is the main body of the Heshute Khanate, and the Eastern Mongolia is the main body of the Chahar Khanate.

The least populous of the four khanates were Turghut and Khalkha, with a population of less than 300,000. Of course, this number has a different flavor for the two small khanates, and the population of Turghut has really increased. When they were living on Russian turf, the total number was only in the early 200,000s. Now with a population of 250,000 or 60,000, they have grown by a quarter of the population, and Worbasy is happy.

The overall population of the Khalkha Mongols is definitely more than 400,000, and with the addition of some Buryat Mongols they host, the total population can even approach 500,000.

But there are many people there who are unwilling to give up their current life, they know very well who has given them a comfortable life in the past one or two decades, those herdsmen are not willing to follow their tribal nobles from the Khalkha steppe to the Great West, anyway, they are all low-level nobles or commoners, there is nothing to lose. So many Khalkha Mongols stayed where they were, and now these people have transformed themselves into Chen Han nationals.

In the same way, the Turk Ministry made a big profit, not only with merit, but also from the welfare of the population; And the Khalkha Mongols have suffered a lot, but they have also won 'independence', haven't they? This is something that many Khalkha Mongols dream of.

After the collapse of Manchu rule, the hearts of many Khalkha Mongol nobles were activated.

These people themselves were attached to the Manchu Qing only a hundred or ten years ago, and it was Kang Mazi who couldn't stand being beaten by the Dzungars, so he begged the Manchus to surrender. And even after surrendering to the Manchu Dynasty, it is a bit like listening to the tune and not listening to the announcement, and the autonomy is much stronger than that of Inner Mongolia.

Now, Chen Ming has driven them out of their old territory, and those who are willing to be independent have gone to the west, although they have given away a piece of territory that can be swallowed in itself, but Chen Ming thinks it is worth it.

The Kazakh steppe seems to have a good 'taste', but if China wants to swallow it, not only will it be on the border with Russia, but it is very likely to be dragged into the struggle and suppression of the heavenly faith, and the Kazakhs are by no means willing to completely surrender.

If Chen Ming wants to annex the Kazakhs, he can only suppress the Tianfang Sect, which will cause dissatisfaction in the Tianfang world.

There is still an India in the South Seas that is separated from the heavenly world, but Kazakhstan is directly attached to the heavenly world. When you put your hands on it, the impact is extraordinary.

In this case, throwing it out will also be thrown out.

Chen Ming still has enough capital in his hands for him to squander.

In this case, these seven newly formed Little Khanates became a new force that emerged on the Eurasian continent.

The Kazakhs may be a little reluctant, because the Kazakh steppe before was all theirs, at least legally, it belonged to the Kazakhs. But now at least half of it has been given to the Mongols, even if much of the previous territory has been encroached upon by the Russians.

In this regard, Chen Ming has something to add.

The 'interests' of the three Kazakhs are damaged, so why not dig the east wall and make up the west wall? The territory of the Kazakh steppe is damaged, can they open up to the south?

Just like the Gurkha kingdom that was already about to be submitted, Chen Ming supported Chanda Bahadur Shah to abolish Rana Bahadur Shah and ascend to the throne of the king, and promised them money, weapons and massive military supplies, and sent instructors and advisers to train the army for them.

Chen Ming planned to turn the Gurkha Kingdom into a fierce Tibetan mastiff for Chen Han in the subcontinent, and the little Bhutan would follow the Tibetan mastiff and eat some leftovers to make them stronger. There is also Ladakh in Kashmir, a country that, like Bhutan and Sikkim, is also a vassal state of Tibet, and Chen Ming also needs them to move and become stronger.

While Chen's goal is to ultimately use their deterrent power to extract more benefits from China in India, it's also good for these small countries, isn't it?

He was prepared to do the same to the small countries in the southern Himalayas in the future, and now he is prepared to do the same to the Three Kazakhs and the Four Mongol Khanates.

Follow him, Chen Ming has meat to eat.

The Nashiva Khanate, the Kokand Khanate, and the Bukhara Khanate were the three pieces of fat that were placed there. As long as the Kazakh army of the Three Tents has completed the transformation, transformed from a tribal army into a standing army, armed with advanced weapons, and trained for a certain period of time, how difficult will it be to cut off pieces of flesh from these three khanates, which are either decaying or newly established?

To put it a little too far, Chen Ming's ultimate goal was to get the Kazakhs to move westward, and the Mongols to complete a border for them. Because it is really difficult to get the Kazakhs to completely abandon their belief in the true God under the constraints of non-forceful means.

Over the years, the Kazakhs have not diminished much in their belief in the true God, although the influence of shamans and Buddhist tantras in their inner circle has indeed increased, but the Kazakhs are quite active in their beliefs, many people believe in both true gods and shamans, and they are not afraid of being sent to Hell after death.

Anyway, just like the Chinese, they believe in both Buddhism and Taoism.

When the repression of faith is eased and the shackles are loosened, it seems that this attitude of believing and believing will prevail in any nation in the world.

Although the Kazakhs' belief in the true god has not shrunk much over the years, it is also true that the rights of the elders and patriarchs of the Tianfang Sect have also shrunk greatly.

All social strata of the Chen and Han dynasties were paying attention to the establishment and construction of the seven small khanates, especially in the middle of the year, when the khans of the seven kingdoms gathered in Nanjing to be crowned, and the two sides formally established the relationship between the clans and vassals, which made China even more happy.

Chinese people have a boss mentality from top to bottom, and for accepting the younger brother and accepting 'all nations to come to court', it is not only the high-level people who love it, but the people at the bottom also enjoy this glory.

The psychology of the Heavenly and Imperial Kingdoms does not exist in the upper echelons of the empire, but in the hearts and bones of all the people in the entire empire.

I am Chinese, I am proud, and I look down on all you in other countries.
