Chapter 505: Arrangement (2) Return

Of course, in order to avoid affecting Daming's food plan. When you start with pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info you must be screened. And they can't always be around these islands, lest the maritime merchants of other countries dare not transport grain into the Ming Dynasty.

The food raising plan will also be greatly discounted.

Therefore, the final scope of plunder was placed on the Arabian Peninsula in Ottoman Turkey, the coast of Persia, the two river basins in the Mesopotamian Plain, and the Balochistan region in Afghanistan.

These places are not directly related to Daming. There have been basically no official exchanges. Therefore, there is no need to scruple at all.

Among them, the Balochistan region belonged to Afghanistan before the Western forces set foot in Afghanistan. Later, for the sake of trade and control of the Arabian Sea, Western countries ceded Afghanistan to it. As a result, Afghanistan became a completely landlocked country.

Nowadays, Western countries have not entered here on a large scale, so Balochistan still belongs to Afghanistan. Compared with other regions, Balochistan's natural environment is relatively favorable. Except for the northern desert region, the natural conditions are relatively harsh. Elsewhere, it's a good farming area. With easy access to Persia, Afghanistan and the Mughals, it has also become a traditional hub for commerce and trade.

Therefore, looting here can also be very fruitful.

The adjacent Sindh area is also a big piece of fat.

Since being plundered by the Persian and Afghan armies, the rulers here have often changed their minds. Therefore, it is very easy for future forces to intervene.

However, despite the frequent wars, it is a traditional farming area watered by the Indus River.

The history of farming is also thousands of years old.

Many low-level people would rather endure the impact of the war and insist on farming and growing food here. When it comes to oil and water, there is more than Balochistan on the left.

Therefore, the Nanyang Fleet of the Ming Dynasty and the Jinsha Pirate Regiment can make a big difference here.

The Arabian Peninsula, sandwiched between the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf, has not yet entered the oil and gas era, so the value of oil has not been really valued. Despite the Ming Dynasty, the excavation of oil fields has begun. However, limited by the current scientific and technological conditions, the utilization rate of oil is not high.

As a result, the Arabian Peninsula is still a barren, remote, and poor land full of sand. But the coastal Yemen region, thanks to the precipitation, has become an important food producer. Daming went to grab it, but he could still get a little benefit.

Of course, there is another layer of consideration for Nanfeng.

It is to try to destroy the local area, and drive the aborigines to the north vigorously. The original social order of the Arabian Peninsula was devastated.

After all, this is the largest oil and gas reserve in the future, and for the sake of future generations, Daming will also try his best to take this place.

But the religious environment here is too deep-rooted. If you want to assimilate, it is very difficult. Therefore, only by destroying the original social environment, driving away the original ethnic groups, and burning all religious holy places into ruins, can we build a new Arabian Peninsula that belongs to the Ming Dynasty.

In order to achieve his goal, he will let the Dead Soldier Troops accept this mission.

In the Ming Dynasty, if you ask which unit is the most ferocious, there is no doubt that it is the Japanese dead soldiers. Originally, they were the most down-and-out samurai in Japanese folk, and they were sent to the Ming Dynasty. After rigorous training, it has been reborn.

The combat effectiveness can be compared with the regular troops of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, this refers to physical strength. If you count the equipment, it is naturally not an opponent of the regular troops.

When they arrived on the battlefield, these trained dead soldiers were like demolition teams, and everywhere they went, they were full of ruins. And whether it is a man, a woman or a child, when it comes to their hands, it is a dead word.

And when I kill someone, I like to fold and grind it very much. The appearance of annihilation, inhumanity, and sex made many Ming soldiers who fought with them feel sick to their stomachs.

Therefore, letting them run rampant in the Arabian Peninsula will certainly bring great disasters to the region. When the time comes, the dry desert and the holy temples will also be stained red with fresh blood.

For the sake of the Ming Dynasty, they can only be asked to carry this black cauldron.

It was also the limited energy of the Ming Dynasty that he used this method to slowly map the Arabian Peninsula. Otherwise, why bother.

As for the two river basins in Mesopotamia, it has a long history and is the birthplace of ancient civilization. The former Babylonian Empire originated in the plains of Mesopotamia. Today, it is an Ottoman Turkish territory.

However, with the decline of Ottoman Turkey, the sultans here have become more and more independent. Previously, Persia was watching from the sidelines, but with the death of King Nadir of Persia, the mighty Aphshar dynasty fell into a long period of division and civil strife. With no time to take care of himself, the two river basins have no safety worries.

Coupled with the vigorous penetration of French capital in the region, the economy of the two river basins has developed well.

Therefore, it is a wiser choice to plunder here.

Coastal Persia, even less to worry about! After all, Persia, which is in civil strife, will not bother with robbers at sea.

To sum up, except for the Arabian Peninsula, where the actual benefits are smaller, all other places are profitable. Perhaps, the expenses of the Ministry of Defense will be earned back.

In fact, if we talk about wealth, the recent Qing Kingdom is actually the richest. Especially the southeast coastal areas have always been the economic center of the Qing Dynasty.

But Nanfeng was afraid of the mantle of the Han family, so he didn't want to attack his own people.

And before that, the Golden Pirate Regiment had not plundered the southeast coast. As a result, the local people are extremely hostile to the Golden Evil Pirate Regiment.

When the relationship between the Jinsha Pirate Group and Daming is announced in the future, it will undoubtedly transfer the hatred of the local people to Daming.

In this case, the gains outweigh the losses.

What's more, due to the influence of the sea ban, Fujian, Zhejiang and other places near the sea are far less prosperous than Hangzhou and Suzhou, which are close to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. The oil and water that can be fished are almost all in the last raid. So there's no need, let's kill them all.

After all, there are still many people living in the southeast coastal area. If all the food is snatched up, the first people to starve to death must be the people at the bottom of society. In that way, Da Ming became a sinner.

Therefore, Nanfeng allowed the Ming army to plunder the relatively poor border areas such as Guangxi and Yunnan, and was not willing to get involved in the southeast coast. After all, the people in the border areas can go south in time and enter Cochin, just like those displaced people.

Although I didn't eat well, I couldn't eat enough. But at least, Daming won't let them starve to death.

In the event of a famine on the southeast coast, you will really have to starve to death.

After making these arrangements, let the officials present share their questions or suggestions. By the time the whole meeting was over, it was already afternoon.

Nanfeng did not stay long, and was escorted by the Nanyang Fleet that night and left Jiaozhi.
