Chapter 389: Great Unification
Xi'an was not the last stop of His Majesty the Emperor's western tour. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Emperor Yang only stayed here for three days, during which he also deliberately went to admire the Great Ci'en Temple and the Recommended Blessing Temple that have become holy shrines, and then looked at the white sun and yellow moon emblems on the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and the Little Wild Goose Pagoda, and happily announced in front of the people who bowed down that Xi'an would be restored to its old name Chang'an, and that he would rebuild a palace on the site of the original Daming Palace at his own expense.
As for the palace style......
Just rebuild it according to the Daming Palace!
Anyway, His Majesty the Emperor has money, you must know that he is not only the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but also the number one capitalist of the Ming Dynasty, 80% of the factories of the Ming Dynasty so far have his shares, more than 50% of the factories are controlled by him, from steel, shipbuilding, railways to textiles, pharmaceuticals, newspapers are all under his control, it can be said that the whole country is making money for him, and his income far exceeds the annual income of the treasury every year, not to mention anything else, the profits of the Golden State Company into the treasury of His Majesty the Emperor every year, It is far more than the franchise tax paid to the state treasury.
It's just a matter of rebuilding a Daming Palace.
It is estimated that it will cost Golden State a year's profit at most.
It's not just Daming Palace.
Next, he will build one in Xianyang, Luoyang, Kaifeng, Anyang, and Yanshi, so that the Zhengshuo Dynasty of China can build one by one, as for those that are partial to peace and local nature, there is no need to care about this. The Xia capital has been verified in Yanshi, the Shang capital Yin is in Anyang, the Zhou capital Luoyang, the Qin capital Xianyang, the Han capital Chang'an, the Jin capital Luoyang, the Sui capital Chang'an, the Tang capital Chang'an, and the Song capital Bianliang, so that he also needs to build six palaces, so that he can also string up the Chinese Zhengshuo.
With a happy mood, His Majesty the Emperor boarded a special train at Chang'an Railway Station and continued to head west to Fengxiang.
He got off at Baoji Station, and then re-got on the steam car, and then drove forward along the highway from Baoji to Tianshui, and went to the railway construction site to perform a show of pro-people, at this time the railway from Baoji to Tianshui had just dug eight tunnels, and built four Weihe bridges, but in fact, starting from Baoji, a total of only less than ten miles forward, and according to the results of line exploration, at least more than 300 miles have to be repaired to Tianshui, it is obvious that the difficulty of this railway is simply to make people want to cry without tears.
"Difficulties are temporary, the future is bright, we must make up our minds, not afraid of sacrifice, and overcome all difficulties to strive for victory!"
Emperor Yang stood in front of the railroad workers, waving his fists and shouting.
"Make up your mind, not be afraid of sacrifice, and overcome all odds to win!"
The workers shouted excitedly.
The attendant next to him quickly took out a small book and quickly wrote it down, after going back, this is to be enriched into the holy oracle book, Emperor Yang's holy oracle book has already come out to the second part, although the speed is not fast, but it is estimated that Emperor Yang has no problem in his lifetime to produce ten parts, these holy oracle books are the spiritual guide of the holy religion believers, it is said that there are now believers who read a holy oracle book before eating.
This is the true teaching of the saints!
Yang Feng felt the enthusiasm of the people with great satisfaction.
"Uh, what's going on with these?"
He said, somewhat surprised, pointing not far away.
Among the large number of slaves kneeling on the ground, there are actually many of them in the same weird Chinese as the workers, shouting the same slogan, and there are even many of them who are actually yellows, but when you think about it, you know, it must be a Japanese slave, these years while provoking the wars of the princes of the Japanese country, while selling arms for slaves, the Ming Dynasty at least introduced more than 200,000 young and middle-aged Japanese slaves from the Japanese country, these slaves are not rare in the factories and construction sites around the Ming Dynasty, in fact, at this time the Ming Dynasty no matter what slaves are not rare, Even Caucasian slaves can be seen occasionally.
That was done by Ahmed III.
The generals of the Ottoman Empire have long regarded the capture of young adults in Armenia, Georgia and other places, and selling them to Ming slave traders as a way to make a fortune, and even the Greek Slavs in the Balkans have been sold to the Ming Dynasty, anyway, they have not done this kind of thing before, in fact, there are many white slaves in the Ottoman court, and now they are just expanding in scale.
"Your Majesty, many of these slaves have gone on the right path and abandoned their messy pseudo-gods, and they are also extremely devout to Your Majesty."
The accompanying officer said cautiously.
"These savages can have a heart of transformation, and it is also worth encouraging, so let's do it, if they are sincere, then don't mix with other slaves, you can organize them into a separate battalion, so that they can exchange feelings with each other, and give them more free time to study in the future, and then assign them a few indoctrination officers, if there are outstanding ones in the future, they can also be sent to the Ministry of Rites and Indoctrination Department for training, specifically responsible for the indoctrination of slaves in various places.
Yang Feng said with satisfaction.
The management of slaves is also very important, after all, the number of slaves in the Ming Dynasty has exceeded three million, and it continues to grow, many Ming capitalists now love this criminal trade, and even some ordinary families have begun to buy slaves to work at home, so that they can not always use bayonets and whips to force them to work, but also have to anesthetize them ideologically, so that religion is very useful, and it is also very good to develop some believers among slaves and let them play an exemplary role.
Think about the future of a group of white slaves, black slaves, brown slaves, etc., while holding the holy oracle while shedding blood and sweat for the construction of the Ming Dynasty The scene is also very beautiful!
After inspecting the construction of the railway, Emperor Yang's western tour team continued to move forward, the heavy oil boiler drove the steam engine, driving the steam car that resembled the bus of later generations on the sandy and soil compacted road, at an average speed of 20 miles per hour, through the valley washed out by the Wei River in Qishan, and the next afternoon arrived at Qinzhou, that is, Tianshui, and then ran from Tianshui along the same road to Lanzhou. It took three years to build the highway, is the main traffic connecting the Western Regions in the Guannai at present, basically modeled after the construction of the sand road in later generations, although there are also some landslides and debris flows from time to time, but it can barely support the transportation, and the starting point of this road is Baoji, the end point is in Shanshan, and from Lanzhou to the south of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau through Xining, at this time it has also been repaired to Naqu.
The Northwest Economic Strategy, which was originally stationed in Chang'an, was also moved to Lanzhou.
As soon as Yang Feng arrived in Lanzhou, He Jin, the envoy of the Northwest Economic Strategy, told him a very unexpected news.
"Yin Ren and Sangyel Gyatso caught fire in Lhasa, although Yin Ren got the help of his close friend Cangyang Gyatso, but in the end he was still defeated by Sangjie Gyatso, and now he has fled south to Gurkha, it is estimated that if nothing else, he has already arrived in Shannan at this time, and Sangyel Gyatso sent a messenger to ask for attachment, and is on the way to this side."
He Jin said.
"This old guy is very smart."
Yang Feng said with a sneer.
Sangyel Gyatso is indeed very smart, he knows that he is not capable of fighting against the Ming army, as long as he sees the endless flow of loaded carriages on the Qinghai-Tibet Highway, he knows that the end of fighting against the Ming army is only a dead end, and there is no insoluble contradiction between him and Yang Feng, what Yang Feng wants is nothing more than his surrender, he is not a good place there, nor is it a military strategic hub, to put it bluntly, it is a piece of chicken ribs that are tasteless and abandoned, even if he surrenders, Yang Feng cannot immigrate to him on a large scale, It is impossible for the Han people to leave a good place and not wait for him to run there.
In this way, he simply surrendered, and he had no other choice anyway.
He originally wanted to take Yinren and Yinyou's heads as gifts to Yang Feng, so that he could gain Yang Feng's favor and deepen the relationship between the two parties, who knew that the relationship between Cangyang Gyatso and Yinren was too deep, and he actually helped Yinren deal with him regardless of the overall situation, although he was still the winner in the end, but it also made Yinren retreat, fortunately, it was not a big deal, anyway, he just had to surrender to Yang Feng, Yinren was just the icing on the cake, if there was no, there would be no it.
"Since he is a smart person, let's simply give him some rewards."
Yang Feng said and drew a few lines directly on the map, and then continued: "Qinghai Province will be established north of this line, and Kangding Province will be established west of this line, and as for the remaining Tibetan areas, the Tubo vassal state will be re-established, with Sangjie Gyatso as the king of Tubo, and the prime minister and deputy minister in Tubo will be set up, and they will be stationed in Lhasa and Shigatse respectively. Tibetans are not allowed to leave the Tibetan border without the approval of the minister stationed in Tibet, otherwise they will be killed once discovered! ”
Yang Feng said.
He is not interested in annexing Sangjie Gyatso's territory, which has no meaning and value to him, and it is estimated that the people of the mainland will not choose there in another 100 years, how many good places are there in the colony, and where is it not more suitable for development than the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau?
In that case, let them continue to live there behind closed doors!
In the thirteenth century, it was one million, in the eighteenth century it was one million, and in the fifties of the twentieth century it was still a million people, and in the fifties of the twentieth century it was still a million people, a place where the population had hardly grown in the past seven hundred years. There is no economic value there, although there are minerals, but it is not capable of being developed in this era, and it is estimated that it will not be worth developing in another fifty years, unless he can build the railway. In addition, it is nothing more than strategically riding on the head of India, but he has never thought of attacking India from there, he has already occupied Kolkata, Mumbai, and it is too exaggerated to want to go south from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
In that case, let them continue to live their ancient life under the light of the Buddha!
Don't give them any modern civilization.
Don't give them any knowledge.
Let them sink in the quagmire of **** serfdom!
Completely forget this land.
That's the best way to ruin them.
As for the escaped Yinren......
"Send a telegram to Nanking and ask the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to send an envoy to tell Bahadur. Sha, let him immediately send troops to catch Yinren and Yinyou and send them to me, give him a year, if he doesn't do it after a year, then don't blame me for sending troops to catch it himself! ”
Yang Feng then said.
At this time, the famous emperor of the Mughal Empire, Aurangzeb, had just a few years after his death, and his son Bahadur. Shah I succeeded to the throne, although the former reigned the Mughal Empire to the peak of its heyday, but in his later years it can be said that the storm was stormy, not only the European colonizers have expanded their power, but also the local Hindus and Sikhs rebelled, including the Marats The power is also getting stronger, which can be said to give Bahadur. The sand left behind a pure mess.
In fact, it was from this era that the Mughal Empire declined dramatically.
Then, in just thirty years, they had shrunk dramatically from a mighty empire that ruled almost all of India, Pakistan, Bengal, and even parts of Afghanistan to less than one-fifth of its territory, and less than a tenth of its territory in less than fifteen years.
But now the British are gone.
Then the role that should have been played by the British could only be played by Emperor Yang.
Jean Bahadur. Sha sent Yinren here, it was just a procedure, mainly because during this time, Yang Feng had to first successfully receive the British and Dutch colonies, which were scattered on the coast of India, and if he fell out with the Mughal Empire now, it would affect the reception. In a year's time, all these places will be deployed militarily. Sha hasn't sent Yinren yet, so the Ming army can do it themselves, and go directly north from Calcutta under the banner of catching Yinren to cut out Bengal and swallow it first.
If Bahadur. Sha sent Yinren to ......
Fake, undoubtedly fake.
Dare to deceive His Majesty the Emperor, then he won't beat him!
In short, it doesn't really matter if he sends it or not, anyway, he is going to be beaten no matter what, first beat him and then force him to cut the land and pay compensation, so that if he plays three or five more times, India will almost be eaten up by pieces, after all, this country is a bit too big, and the population is too much, really to count, in fact, the population may even exceed the Ming Dynasty, such a country is too troublesome to swallow, the best way is to eat up piece by piece.
"Your Majesty, do you want to continue to attack on the battlefield in the Western Regions?"
He Jin asked on the side.
"The Western Regions? Where is our army? ”
Yang Feng looked at the map and asked.
"Here, the Fifth Cavalry Brigade pursued the Kazakhs to reach here, at the western foot of the Ili Mountain, which should have been the Tang Dynasty Broken Leaf City in ancient times."
He Jin pointed to the map and said.
"Broken leaves."
Yang Feng looked at the map with some emotion, he found that he seemed to have completed the great unification in the Chinese sense, the limit of China's rule in the Western Regions is the broken leaf, and the North Sea to the north has already been in the bag, and the limit of China's rule to the east is Taiwan, and the limit of direct rule to the south should be the Old Port Xuanwei Division, not to mention this, where the old port government of the southern province of Daming Town.
It can be said that his great cause has been completed.
"Well, let's stop for a moment! After all, the logistics line dragged on too long. ”
He said with emotion. (To be continued.) )
