Chapter 34: The Robbery of Wealth
During this time, I only saw that the merchant ships of the Huaxia Army continued to travel back and forth between Gongbang and North India, and a shipload of treasures was transported to Yangon in Gongbang, and countless Indian beauties were transported to Gongbang, and then distributed to those Han Chinese who immigrated as wives. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Strong Han people, Sun Hao will be given two to three wives at a time, and thin ones will be given one.
Many Han people living in the Qing Dynasty are on the subsistence line, and after migrating to Gongbang, they can not only get five acres of land for free, but also receive two beautiful wives. Poor peasants in Tianfu, Guizhou and other places have emigrated here. The officers and soldiers of the Great Qing Dynasty also wanted to stop it, but now that the White Lotus Rebellion had broken out in the Great Qing Dynasty, most of the officers and soldiers of the Great Qing Dynasty stationed in the southwest region had been transferred to the front line to resist the attack of the White Lotus Sect, and they were unable to intercept these poor peasants who wanted to emigrate to Gongbang.
The robbed Indian women were distributed to the Han Chinese as wives, and the able-bodied Indian men were not so lucky, and they were escorted by the Chinese soldiers to build roads, houses, hydropower stations, railways, ports, and so on.
After some Han people in the Bangkok Dynasty area got the good policy of Gongbang immigration, many Han people who did not live well also immigrated to Sun Hao's territory with their families.
Sun Hao treated them all equally, not only gave them free housing, but also distributed land and wives.
With a large population and free labor, many cities in the Gongbang area are constantly changing day by day. Gongbang is vast and sparsely populated, even if tens of millions of immigrants come, it is not a problem, and there is a lot of land distributed to them for reclamation. In particular, most of the Assam region and later the eastern part of Bengal were plains, and there were very few fields that could be cultivated.
Half of the Han Chinese who emigrated were arranged to the Dhaka region of Bangladesh and the Assam region in later generations, and Sun Hao wanted to use the advantage of population to directly sinicize these areas, and slowly consolidate the rule of these regions through the cooperation of the garrison.
During this time, Sun Hao focused on the newly built artillery factories and gun factories outside Donghu City. As for the people who are constantly robbing and the Han compatriots who have immigrated, they have someone to arrange for them, and Sun Hao does not need to worry about it at all.
The two divisions of the Huaxia Army were like invincible warbands in northern India, constantly attacking to the northwest, constantly robbing a large number of people and a lot of wealth.
In order to increase the transportation capacity, Sun Hao not only purchased more than 100 sail transport ships with a displacement of about 1,000 tons with Li Gang again, but also sent people to Nanyang to find local Chinese merchants to help the Huaxia Army transport the looted population, of course, Sun Hao had to pay them a certain amount of remuneration.
On November 6, 1796, Sun Hao was in the newly built villa, listening to the confidential secretary Miao Xiaolan report on the achievements of the Huaxia Army.
"Commander-in-chief, the Huaxia Army has now attacked the center of Rajasthan in India, and will soon be able to take the entire state of Rajasthan, and the two division commanders are planning to attack the Sindh Dynasty, the Sikh Dynasty, and the remaining Mughal dynasties."
Sun Hao's eyes lit up when he heard about the Mughal Dynasty, this dynasty has ruled India for hundreds of years, and the wealth gathered should be very considerable.
The Sindh Dynasty, the Sikh Dynasty, and the Mughal Dynasty, which Miao Xiaoxian reported just now, are in the Pakistan region of the later generations, and then the Durrani Dynasty will be the Durrani Dynasty, which belongs to the Afghanistan region of the later generations. Although Sun Hao coveted the population resources of the Duran Dynasty, he knew that the Huaxia army could not blindly attack like this, otherwise it would attract the attention of the British and French, and if they came to attack him with an alliance of eight countries and ten countries, it would bring endless trouble to the development of the Huaxia army.
The Huaxia Army needs time to develop, and now it cannot go to war with countries such as Britain and France, to be precise, it is not the time to turn against these countries. As long as the training of the army is completed, any Napoleon will be trampled underfoot.
"Dianling, after the 16th and 18th Divisions conquered the Sindh Dynasty, the Sikh Dynasty, and the Mughal Dynasty, they began to withdraw their troops, and sent people to tell the British that the Huaxia Army had suffered heavy casualties and was no longer able to help them continue to attack India."
"Yes!"
"During this time, how many Han Chinese immigrants came? How many people did our troops snatch? ”
According to the commander-in-chief, the Han people emigrated 425783 in total, including men, women, and children, most of whom were from Yunnan, Guizhou, and Tianfu regions, as well as Cantonese and Fujianese along the coast. 2887459 women and 1967546 young men were robbed. ”
When Sun Hao heard that more than 400,000 people had emigrated to come, he was very satisfied. When I heard that more than 2.8 million women and nearly 2 million young men had been snatched, I was even more happy. With nearly 2 million free laborers, the construction of the Huaxia Army's territory will be much faster. And those more than 2.8 million women will bring huge back productivity to the development of the Huaxia Army.
As long as all the more than 2.8 million women are distributed, the population of China will increase by several million in a few years.
The White Lotus Rebellion was on a grand scale, and the Qing Dynasty was now mainly focused on exterminating this group of rebels, and it was completely unable to govern the problem of peasant migration in the northwest, so it seemed that it was necessary to hurry up the migration. Only by immigranting millions can the territory occupied by the Huaxia Army be better reclaimed.
"Commander-in-Chief Sun, the Kingdom of Bhutan wants to join the Huaxia Army, but it wants to retain the royal status."
When Sun Hao heard it, he took out a cigarette and lit it.
The Kingdom of Bhutan was surrounded by the British, the Chinese Army, and the Qing Dynasty, and with the strength of the Kingdom of Bhutan, it was difficult to stop the attack of the British or the Chinese Army. The terrain of the Kingdom of Bhutan is all high mountain terrain, there is almost no flat land, the living standard of the people is very low, and it is difficult to develop the Kingdom of Bhutan!
"It is possible to keep the wealth of the Bhutanese royal family without handing it over, but the population of the entire Kingdom of Bhutan must move to the Dhaka area to live, and as for the Bhutanese royal family, they are required to move to Yangon. If the Bhutanese royal family does not agree, they can directly attack with troops. ”
"Yes!"
"Did the Bangkok Dynasty and the Phnom Penh Dynasty agree to merge into the Huaxia Army?"
Sun Hao did not dare to expect Annan to join the Huaxia Army peacefully, this nation could not be solved by peace, and only by waging war could they be conquered.
"The Phnom Penh dynasty has agreed, but the Bangkok dynasty has made some demands, first, to retain the royal wealth of the Bangkok dynasty, and second, King Rama I has asked the commander-in-chief to welcome the royal princess Rama Sussi."
After Sun Hao heard this, he nodded slightly, the troops of the Bangkok Dynasty were simply vulnerable to the Huaxia army, they couldn't even beat the army of the Gongbang Dynasty, not to mention the well-equipped Huaxia army, Rama I was still acquainted, knowing that he was not the opponent of Huaxia Jun, and wanted to keep the wealth and status of the royal family, so he used marriage to preserve the wealth of the royal family.
In ancient times, marriage was a means of strengthening one's own strength or preserving one's strength, and it had been used by those nobles, but this trick was often very effective and tried and tested.
