Chapter 324: Objectives (1st Update)

There are no buts!

When Midile was sent out of the governor's mansion with a smile on his face, the smile on Zhu Yifeng's face slowly turned into a sneer. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lin Zhiping, who was standing beside him, whispered when Han Du turned around.

"My lord, did they agree?"

As Han Du's cronies, Lin Zhiping naturally knew Han Du's intention to meet Midile this time.

"Agreed?"

With a cold snort, Zhu Yifeng said in a mocking tone,

"How could those British disagree? They knew we were just politely asking for their opinions. And even if they are against it, what reason is there? ”

Yes, the British have no reason to object.

But they have the ability to stop it, which is why they are so polite.

But for the British of this era, they didn't know what Africa meant?

Tropical diseases are what hold Europeans back in the face of Africa. The Netherlands and Denmark, which once dominated the sea, had already withdrawn from Africa a hundred years ago because of Britain's crackdown on the slave trade; Emerging colonial powers, such as Germany, Belgium and Italy, would not attack Africa until they rose twenty years later. As for Britain, South Africa, which it controlled, was satisfied, and France was content with North Africa. As for the hinterland and even the coastal areas of Africa, even the missionaries were not interested.

"It's just a supply depot, it's just an anchorage!"

Zhu Yifeng's tone still had a hint of mockery, and his sarcasm was more aimed at the British.

A few decades later, the lands occupied by the Europeans, with the exception of Algeria and South Africa, were basically along the coast and the surrounding islands, encircling almost the entire continent, and these areas soon became a springboard for the Europeans to carve up Africa.

Of course, this is in another time and space, in this time and space, in the next two or three years, he will set up "supply depots" on the east and west coasts of Africa, and those "supply depots" will be China's strongholds into Africa, just like the colonization of Europeans, through which they will control Africa.

Back in the office, Zhu Yifeng took out a map of Africa from a drawer. It was a map bought from Hong Kong, and although the coastal areas were clearly delineated, the hinterland of Africa was blank, except for parts of North Africa and South Africa. As for in East Africa, there were only a few Sultanates established by Arabs.

"Yuda, you see, we're going to be here this year, here, and here."

Several locations on the map of his fingers, Zhu Yifeng said in a rather excited tone.

The locations he is referring to now are the port of Mombasa, Dar es Salaam, and the area around Walvis Bay and the mouth of the Congo River in West Africa, and although the location is not very accurate, if successful, it will establish a foothold there. Then the door of the whole of Africa will be open to China.

"Then starting next year, you will send expeditions like the hinterland of Africa to persuade the local chiefs to give up their right to rule, of course, this persuasion can be by force or verbal, and then we will establish strongholds and communication networks throughout the continent, and if possible, in the future we will also build a railway through Africa, and we will build new cities, villages and towns thousands of miles around the railway, and in the next few decades, tens of millions of people will remember that the Chinese will move to the African continent, and Africa will be our Africa."

Outsiders will never be able to understand Zhu Yifeng's desire for colonies, China needs colonies to transfer tens of millions of surplus population, and it also needs colonies to provide various resources, and in another time and space, China has never had such an opportunity. But such an opportunity must not be missed again.

"Congratulations to my lord, between words have opened up thousands of miles for my China......"

Lin Zhiping hurriedly patted his ass, as a courtier, he may not be able to understand until now, what is the significance of those wild places to China, but opening up the territory has always been one of the merits of being a human monarch. It seems that now, like the lord, he does not need to spend a single shot, a bullet, a soldier, and has pacified the land of "tens of millions", which is a great cause that has never been done before.

Although it is unknown how many people will need to work on this great cause in the future, although it will still be necessary to conquer the local barbarians with guns in the future. But now, at least, in the most empty space of the map, you can write two big square words.

China!

"The Governor's plan is to set up a Central African Company first, to put our hand in there in the form of anchorages and trade, at least this year, we can only do this, and we can't just come up and shout and publicize our actions from the whole world, in short, ......"

After a slight pause, Zhu Yifeng smiled.

"Quietly enter the village, don't shoot a gun. When we gain a firm foothold there, and when we plant the flag all over Africa, there will naturally be no scruples at that time, I estimate that it will be two or three years, and two or three years will be enough. ”

Yes, two or three years is enough, not in the next two or three years, Britain and France, the world's largest colonial empires, will ignore the affairs of other regions, as for Africa, because of the Crimean War...... By the time they reacted, it was decades later, and it was already full of Chinese flags.

Flag ...... of China At this time, Zhu Yifeng realized a problem, although the rebel army has always been wearing the red flag, just like the Red Turban Army at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, but this is not a national flag, and when dealing with foreign countries in the future, especially in Africa, there must be a flag that can represent China.

What kind of flag can represent China?

What kind of national flag and anthem should China use in the future?

Seeing that the lord was in deep thought, Lin Zhiping thought for a while and said:

"My lord, although today you only want to rent a word to expand the land for my China, there is one thing that the ministers are a little worried about."

As a courtier, Lin Zhiping knows very well what he should say, what kind of words he should say when, and how to show his value.

"Oh? Let's hear it."

"My lord, this Africa is thousands of miles away, and it takes a lot of ocean to go to Africa, and the Chinese people have had the ancient precept that their parents are not traveling far since ancient times, how to make them willing to go to Africa, this is not very easy."

Isn't.

How many miles was exiled to Xinjiang? It's thousands of miles away.

"My parents are not traveling, but it's just an excuse. Chinese people don't like immigration...... Hmph, if this is the case, how can millions of Cantonese people move to Nanyang? ”

Zhu Yifeng smiled, glanced at the map, and continued:

"The southeast has the habit of going to the South Seas, Zhili and Shandong have the customs of breaking through the eastern part of the country, and Shanxi has the way of going to the west, under the more people and less land, as long as there is a way to live, they are always willing to find that way to live, if you can choose, how many people are willing to be a bachelor and a prodigal who wanders all day long."

Who doesn't want their wives and children to live a good life. The problem is that many of them are always unable to achieve this goal, just like the Twist Army in Henan and Northern Anhui, they are a group of bachelors with no political aspirations.

"Besides, they have to go if they don't want to go."

Zhu Yifeng's voice turned cold, stood up, walked to the door and looked out, looked at the snow on the ridge of the roof, and said coldly.

"There seem to be more and more beggars in Wuchang City now."

"Lord, there are more and more beggars in this city because the people in the city are living a good life, and if the ordinary people are having a bad time, there will naturally be fewer beggars,"

Lin Zhiping hurriedly said:

"Although there are many beggars, in the final analysis, it is because the people can live and work in peace and contentment under the rule of the lord, and there is a prosperous scene, so the displaced people from all over the country will flow into the lord's rule!"

Even Lin Zhiping himself was a little skeptical when he heard the words, but he had to say this. That's all he can say.

"Beggar...... When the time comes, the Governor will not ask them why they have become beggars, and when the time comes, there will be no beggars under the Governor, after all, vagrancy and begging will be forbidden, and as for the old and the unemployed, they may enter the Futian Monastery and the Anji Monastery, and all able-bodied vagabonds shall be arrested and whipped, and then escorted to the ship, and they shall be sent to the colonies, where they shall be subjected to a few months of labor reform......"

In fact, this is borrowed from the British "sheep eat people", but the purpose is different, the ban on begging is to send millions of beggars and homeless people to overseas colonies, so that they can start a new life there.

"We have to move not only these people, but also those poor people who have little land and no land, and there are billions of acres of land in Africa, and although many of them are limited in their use, I believe that as long as they are used, we will always be able to accommodate our surplus population."

Who can understand this good intention?

Many people may not understand the importance of colonization in China now, but in a few decades or a hundred years, people will be able to understand this and fully understand the significance of Africa to China. As for the barbarism and even diseases in Africa, they will be overcome by the Chinese people, and the Chinese will be able to fundamentally solve the problem of "people and land" in this process.

Compared with Zhu Yifeng's fundraising, Lin Zhiping was stunned by the lord's words, this is an immigration, it is clearly exile, compulsory, and without any compromise. Tens of millions of people, whether they want to or not, will be exiled overseas, and if these words get out, I don't know what kind of uproar it will cause.

At this moment, Lin Zhiping regretted it now. I regret why I am doing this sycophant, what should I do now, whether I agree or disagree?

Just when Lin Zhiping was in a dilemma, Zhu Yifeng smiled, looked at him and smiled.

"What's Yuda, are you worried? Are you worried that it will cause some kind of chaos at that time? ”

"My lord, the minister thinks that this matter needs to be considered in the long run."

Seeing that his mind was broken by a word, Lin Zhiping hurriedly bowed and persuaded.

"After all, the current situation is not stable, even if he is the lord and dominates the world, it is the time to rule the world, not the time to make a big move, please think twice!" (To be continued.) )
