Almaty should be the most realistic option. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although it is not the best in terms of strategy for controlling Central Asia, the best should be Andijan, that is, the Fergana Basin, which is a good place, but unfortunately Yang Feng definitely does not have the ability to repair the Southern Xinjiang Railway within his scheduled time, even if the construction of this modern railway is highly difficult, not to mention his technical level at this time, the difficulty of the Northern Xinjiang Railway Project is much lower in comparison, although the Northern Xinjiang Railway takes the Alashankou, but he is nothing more than turning to the south of Sailimu Lake to take the Lianhuo high-speed route.

Although it is not very easy to repair, it is at least much easier than drilling into the lofty mountains and mountains hundreds of miles west of Kashgar.

And Almaty also has advantages.

This place facilitated the expansion into Siberia.

As long as the railway is built, a branch line is branched out to the north, and a fortress can be built there, for example, Semipalatinsk, which is even capable of passing thousand-ton inland barges, where you can build a port and build ships, and then go down the river to Omsk deep into the heart of Siberia. It was even possible to continue forward, through the Ob River system to Novosibirsk, or through the Tobol River Tula River system to Tyumen to Yekaterinburg, at this time there was no city, and the Ming army could have built a city there in advance. Although these rivers have a freezing period, in the case of the unlikely large-scale migration in the short term, there is no problem in supporting military strongholds with these inland waterways, as long as this transportation system is fully completed, it means that the original Asian part of Russia has completely fallen into the hands of the Ming army.

The southern route followed Almaty, Bishkek, Tashkent, Samarkand, until Turkmenbashi entered the Caspian Sea, and then from the Caspian Sea into the Volga and Ural rivers, at that time the tentacles of the Ming Dynasty really extended into Europe.

In the final analysis, Emperor Yang's Son of Heaven guarding the country is just a slogan, and the real purpose is nothing more than to coerce the people of the whole country and follow him to the great cause of aggression.

Slowly, one station at a time.

Now Almaty is Xijing, maybe it will be changed to Tbilisi in a few years, maybe it will be changed to Kiev in a few years, in the end, where is Xijing is not a matter that he decided to make, even if he says that it will be changed to Paris one day, what can the cabinet object? This Beijing can't go north anymore, there is no point in going north, there is no need for Nanjing to go south, there is no point in going south, anyway, it is already the territory of the Ming Dynasty, so you can't go to Sydney! But this Xijing and Tokyo, it depends on how far Emperor Yang can go on the road to world domination.

The heart is infinite, and the heaven and earth are wide.

Wherever Emperor Yang expanded, there was his Xijing and Tokyo.

It is said that he did not set up Tokyo this time, because his planned Tokyo was too appalling, because he felt that Kanayama, that is, San Francisco in history, was quite suitable for this role.

But just set up Xijing in Almaty, but also Shao Tingcai and his friends were stunned, there are really thousands of miles away from Nanjing, and there are more than 5,000 miles in the middle of the railway, only a sandy national highway connection, this national highway can only support the supply of materials for the armies stationed in the Western Regions, and there is the transportation of saltpeter from Shanshan to the mainland, countless trucks shuttle through this long road every year, and the high-quality saltpeter is continuously transported to the nitric acid factories in various places.

But even if the post office's mail truck departs from Fengxiang, it will have to travel for two months to deliver ordinary letters to the distant broken leaves.

Build a capital there?

That's a bit of an exaggeration, isn't it?

"Your Majesty, this must not be done!"

"Your Majesty, please think twice."

……

Then a group of ministers knelt down one after another, hoping that His Majesty the Emperor would receive the supernatural powers, saying that up to now, for so many years in this Fengtian Palace, this is the first time this situation has occurred, not to mention the cabinet, even the generals of the Inspectorate and the military can't help but join the ranks of the admonition, which shows how unreliable Emperor Yang's crazy decision is, you must know that his current identity as a god emperor is not forced to have no way, who dares to have objections to his decision?

"I don't care about this, I must build Xijing there, and in ten years, even if you don't build a palace for me, I will build a grass hut and live there!"

Yang Feng said very unhappily.

After speaking, he stood up directly and brushed his sleeves away.

The remaining ministers were dumbfounded, this is the capital city that has to be built there anyway, and he can't really let His Majesty the Emperor build a straw hut to live in, right? But how can this be repaired? The capital city must have the appearance of the capital, but it is not just a matter of building a wall in a random circle, it must be able to show the majesty of the empire, first of all, it must be large enough, at least close to the level of Beijing City. And it's not good, it has to be prosperous enough, that is, there has to be enough population, otherwise it is empty and a ghost city is a fart capital, and more importantly, the connection with the mainland must be smooth enough, what if he goes to live for three years in the style of Emperor Yang? Although he does not go to the court, many things must be handled by him personally, especially the election officials in various places are still his final interview, these people take a carriage from Nanjing to Shaye to go back and forth for more than half a year, such a sand national highway will definitely not work, and it is almost the same as a railway and a train.

Of course, the palace had to be repaired.

This palace must also have a sufficient level to do it, it can't be the same as those palaces, because it's just the emperor's rest, and this is the emperor's permanent residence, not to mention the level of the Nanjing and Beijing Imperial Palace, but it can't be too bad.

It is also necessary to establish officials at all levels of the Left-behind Division.

Although the cabinet is stationed in Nanjing, each ministry in Beijing has a chamberlain and an official office in the Beijing Stay-behind Division, so that Emperor Yang can wait for him when he goes to live in the imperial palace in Beijing. This empire is too big, and the connection between the north and the south is not so arbitrary after all, and such an institution is also very necessary for the cabinet to manage all parts of the north, and Beijing is only a military position, and has no right to interfere in government affairs. And since Xijing is also the capital, of course, there must be such a team, and everything must be in accordance with Beijing's standards.

A large garrison is also needed.

This is easy to do, it is originally a military front, and it is nothing more than to increase the number of garrisons, at least to more than two armies.

But the garrison, the garrison, the palace will also make the consumption of materials several times more than ten times skyrocketing, a sandy road is certainly not enough, even road transportation is far from enough, the ammunition consumption of the two armies alone can empty half of the country's carriage, not to mention the food, as well as the steel and cement for the construction of the city, these are either in the local construction of factories for production, or the construction of railway transportation, the safest is naturally two-pronged, but in the final analysis, it can be summed up in two words......

Build roads, immigrate.

To build the railway, we must speed up the construction of the Longhai Railway, within ten years this railway must be extended forward to the broken leaves, the gradual way of road repair is not enough, we must be in a sectional way, in Lanzhou, Wuwei, Yiwu, Luntai and other important prefectures and counties along the line to explore coal mines and iron ore construction industrial bases, relying on these industrial bases to build roads outward, and not only these four places, along the way can find coal mines and iron ore nearby and easy to develop the place, all must be built.

As for the construction of easy to do.

Transporting small converters to these places by road, just like the original use, one furnace to smelt two or three tons of steel, as for iron-making is simpler, mining is not possible first, and then manufacturing large-scale steel-making furnaces and various mining equipment, first starting from small, from small to large, and then start to build railways, so that the construction of industrial bases for three or five years is enough, and the rest of the time is to go all out to build railways, and strive to be able to repair railways to broken leaves within ten years.

At the same time, near the location of the western capital selected by Emperor Yang, he looked for coal mines and iron mines, and also built an industrial base.

This is for the construction of the city, not to mention anything else, cement can not be transported from the interior in the first place, the city must be at least the north and south of the two Beijing level, and the perimeter of the latter two city walls are sixty miles, so the perimeter of the Xijing city wall must also be more than sixty miles, the imperial city must have, the palace must have, the official office must have, the military camp must have, and the factories, residential areas, commercial areas, and public facilities that serve all this must be ......

Well, fill the city, 500,000 people is the minimum, and a million is just right.

And those industrial bases.

At a minimum, five industrial bases would require a minimum of 1.5 million people.

There is also the agricultural population.

Food must be guaranteed.

Although the main labor force for such a large farm was actually slaves, 100,000 peasants were also necessary.

In this way, even if it is a minimum, it takes two million immigrants, there are actually not many Han people in the local area, they are some herdsmen who have changed their Han nationality, these people still continue to let them graze, after all, herdsmen are also indispensable in the industrial chain, now the people of the Ming Dynasty, especially the people in the north, eat beef and mutton from the grassland in winter and drink bottled milk sterilized by new sterilization technology, which is already very common, and milk powder is even common in the south.

This means that at least two million Han Chinese must have migrated from the interior, and a significant proportion must be skilled workers.

It's a daunting task.

But no matter how arduous it is, it must be done with all its might, you must know that this is the will of the God Emperor, although I don't understand why the God Emperor is so, so insistent, but the God Emperor will not be wrong, he must do this reason, as a subject to obey, there is no need to think too much, isn't it just spending money, it's a big deal that all the workers who go to the west are paid double salaries, it's a big deal to go to the west The farmer government gave ten slaves, and it's a big deal how many years of tax exemption to invest in the west......

In short, westward!

For the sake of the Emperor of God! (To be continued.) )
