readx; In the second year of the empire, the empire launched a bloody purge in the South Seas, known as the Second South Sea War. In this purge www.biquge.info except for the aborigines in the plantations, the natives of Nanyang are almost extinct.

At the same time, the empire and Burma were at odds, and three reading battalions invaded Burma, known as the Second Burma War, which completely reduced the Burmese king to a puppet, and Burma was incorporated into the imperial colony.

At the same time, the Khmer was also conquered by the Reading Battalion stationed in Cochin in this year, Siam was also forced to open up for trade, and the entire Central Peninsula had been infiltrated by the empire, either becoming a colony or a dumping ground for goods.

In that year, the Empire's trade with India increased dramatically, and the Indian Ocean Fleet drove the Europeans out of the Indian Ocean during the year, and stipulated that trade would take place at the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa.

The Western countries were forced to withdraw from the Indian Ocean due to the might of the imperial navy, but the European countries saw the expansion intentions of the empire and were actively forming alliances.

The speed of the Empire's expansion has already caused panic among the European countries, and if the Imperial Navy continues to expand like this, the entire sea will be deprived of their business, and may even threaten the security of their homeland.

India is a country with more arable land than China itself, and the terrain is flat, easy to transport, and rich in raw materials.

The empire's interests in India grew rapidly, India's spice trade had been monopolized by the empire, and India became an important dumping ground for goods, and the empire's cheap goods began to pour into India.

The Empire's overseas trade went far beyond that, and in January of that year, the Empire assembled a large ocean-going caravan with hundreds of large clippers.

Escorted by the Indian Ocean Fleet, the ocean-going fleet traded all the way to the Euro-Mediterranean trade zone in June.

The Mediterranean Trade Zone is a place where all kinds of luxury goods come together, with silk, cotton, pearls, spices, ivory, precious stones, dyes and the like from China and India. At the same time, there were porcelain, tea, and sugar, and as many as 380,000 pieces of porcelain were shipped to Europe in the first year of the empire.

After assembling in the Mediterranean trade zone, these goods will be shipped to the ports of Constantinople, Cairo, Alexandria, etc.

Poor Western Europe had few goods to ship to the East, only a small amount of woollen wool, and the sale of black and white slaves to the ruling class of Islamic countries. The Venetian merchants were active slave traders. These were not enough to compensate for the value of goods from the East, for which the West had to pay for precious metals such as gold and silver.

However, the arrival of the Imperial caravans gave the Venetian traffickers a new market, and the Empire was happy to buy white and black slaves.

After the empire bought the white slaves and black slaves, the handsome white slaves were sent to the base in Hainan. And those ugly, as well as those black slaves, will be emasculated by the Empire.

The Empire's slave ships had a unique method of castration, which was to tie the testicles of white and black slaves tightly with rubber bands, which would automatically shrink due to their elastic strength. As long as it takes more than a month, the slave's testicles will fall off without damaging the slave's body.

Because of such 'advanced' and satisfactory results, and cheap castration technology, the Empire has no scruples about using slaves, and no matter what race you are, as long as you can work, you can capture and make a profit. While the empire was buying black and white slaves, it was also capturing black slaves.

The white slaves in the hands of the Venetian traffickers were bought up by the imperial caravans, and these white slaves were much more valuable than the black slaves, especially the handsome men and beautiful women among the whites, which also stimulated the Venetian traffickers.

For this reason, Venetian traffickers began to look for beautiful women in Xiu, Eastern Europe, and Islamic countries, and the emerging empire in the East was in great demand for this.

The imperial ocean-going caravan stayed at the entrance to the Mediterranean for nearly half a month and submitted the proclamation of the founding of the Chinese Empire to the Habsburgs.

The Habs were the most influential dynasty in Europe, and at this time it was in a period of gradual decline after its heyday, and Charles V divided the Habsian dynasty, and Spain, Italy, Prussia, the Holy Roman Empire, the Netherlands, Austria, and Hungary all had members of the Habs as rulers.

In order to maintain the purity of the bloodline, it was very common for members of the Habs to have [***] and inbreeding, and it is for this reason that the Habs dynasty died out after the 18th century, and the genetic disease was terrible.

Subsequently, the imperial ocean-going caravans visited the ports of Constantinople, Cairo, Alexander, and London, and submitted the 'Proclamation of the Establishment of the Chinese Empire' to Britain, France, and the Holy Roman Empire.

The countries of Europe were shocked when they received the announcement, the Empire of Light in the Far East had fallen at this time, and it was replaced by the general in the north of the Empire of Light.

For that general, the countries are no strangers, and when the Empire of Light still existed, it was he who vigorously expanded at sea.

When the empire's ocean-going caravans arrived in Europe, in addition to announcing the establishment of the empire to the European countries, it was also necessary to determine the empire's trade status in Europe.

On this voyage, although the European countries coveted the wealth contained in the Imperial ocean-going caravans, they did not dare to do anything to the Imperial ocean-going caravans.

Because it will lead to war.

And ordinary pirates simply don't have the strength to plunder the Empire's ocean-going caravans, after all, the Empire's ocean-going caravans are protected by twelve frigates.

With the arrival of the first ocean-going caravan, the second ocean-going caravan arrived the following month. By this time, the shipbuilding industry of the empire had flourished, the number of ocean-going ships of the empire had increased significantly, and the empire began to dump goods in large quantities into Europe. In the first half of the year, four large ocean-going fleets were sent to Europe.

The empire's dumping of goods in India and Europe can be described as a comprehensive surname, the empire has many cheap goods, the most representative of which is cotton, and cotton cloth is also the cheapest, the largest market, and the most impactful of the other party's industrial and commercial goods.

As the caravans of the empire arrived in various European countries, things were not so easy. A large number of cheap goods began to hit the industries of various countries, which had little effect on European countries such as Spain, which had weak industries, but the impact on countries such as Britain and the Netherlands began to be felt.

In the second half of the second year of the Empire, the number of imperial ocean-going caravans arriving in Europe doubled, and the European countries were very helpless about the sudden appearance of imperial merchant ships.

Spain fared best, they still retained Peru, Cuba, and some colonies on the east coast, and although the loss of Central America had affected them greatly, it was before the caravans appeared, and the situation did not deteriorate after the appearance of the caravans.

The industry and commerce of the empire developed rapidly during this year.

First of all, the empire is being built everywhere, and a lot of infrastructure is being built. At the same time, the tax reduction of the lower classes, which made the empire's market begin to prosper, and secondly, the empire also quickly stabilized, good law and order and law enforcement, so that the empire's provinces have become extremely stable, the empire's bandits have been wiped out under the vigorous suppression of this year, and more than 90% of the toasts in the empire have been banned.

At the same time, the empire increased its almsgiving, and it was impossible to see people starving to death within the empire, and at the same time, the empire's education began to enter the promotion stage in this year.

At this time, Zhao Yan was leading the empire to carry out the 'Great Leap Forward' development, of course, this is a more rational Great Leap Forward, and the core of the Great Leap Forward is the initial investment in wealth creation, that is, the construction of infrastructure.

At present, the empire is illiterate and the infrastructure is generally insufficient, which naturally cannot create more wealth.

…… The Mongol rebellion, which shocked the entire empire, never subsided, and then after the empire discovered the traces of the Manchus, the emperor Zhao Yan sent four cavalry divisions to the western front.

The construction of the imperial railroad was intensified, and the empire transferred 500,000 Japanese slaves and 200,000 Mongols from the mainland to build the railway, regardless of losses.

This loss is the surname of the Japanese slaves and Mongols.

However, the empire no longer cared about the surnames of these Japanese slaves and Mongols, since the invention of the 'advanced' castration method, the empire had as many slaves as it wanted, and black slaves became the new source of free labor for the empire.

After the surge in labor, the construction speed of the Shenxi Railway and the Jinglun Railway, two railways leading to the western route, began to increase, and it was expected that the empire could be repaired to the front line in July of the third year.

The empire's two westward expansion railways were crucial, and it was not advisable to continue westward expansion until the railroad was successfully built, because of the high military expenditure.

The empire is now short of money to repair infrastructure and promote free education, and military spending can be saved, and the land behind has not been digested, and it is useless to fight down the land in front, and it will cost more money.

But the Manchus must not be better, Zhao Yan ordered the Western Regions Military Region and the Nuergandu Military Region to attack and harass the Manchus.

At the end of the second year of the Empire, the raid began.

The Western Regions Military Region began to send the Reading Battalion to the lower reaches of the Volga Valley, although their troops were not many, but their combat effectiveness was superb.

This reading battalion advanced all the way to burn and loot, and ran amok in the lower reaches of the Volga. The Manchu cavalry dispatched a large number of troops to encircle and suppress, but this reading battalion was different from the ordinary reading battalion, and this reading battalion brought enough ammunition before setting off.

They were divided into two parts, one to burn and loot in the front, and the other to transport ammunition in the rear, and this reading battalion was surrounded by the Dordor on the banks of the Volga in November of the second year of the empire.

Duoduo gathered an army of 100,000 men and surrounded the Reading Battalion.

The Reading Battalion was so besieged that it was impossible to get out, and built a defensive line on the banks of the Volga, and Dordor launched thirteen attacks in one day, all thirteen of which were repulsed.

The Qing army left more than 10,000 corpses behind in vain.

At night, two hot air balloons were raised from the Reading Camp, with horses and people on board, and they flew over the Volga, and after landing, they rode back to report the news.

The Reading Battalion is backed by the Volga River, the water source is not a problem at all, and food is not a problem, so many dead horses, there is no worry about having nothing to eat, but the fuel is a little tight.

Duoduo was very unwilling, and was defeated by the Shandong army when he was in Liaodong, and at this moment he couldn't even do anything with only 600 people.

It can be said that his heart is extremely resentful, which makes him want to wipe out the group of people in front of him even more, in order to grab their weapons, if the Qing Dynasty can master such weapons, there will be hope for rising.

Duoduo's idea is relatively naïve, the reason why he thinks so is because when he fled west, he still brought some craftsmen with him, thinking that the advanced weapons used by the emperor's [***] team can still be imitated.

As a result, Duoduo could not attack for a long time, and the reading battalion that broke into the lower reaches of the Volga River had too much ammunition, and the Qing army was machine-gun fire as soon as it charged.

This made the Qing army very helpless, Duoduo didn't think about scattering the charge, but what was the use of this? Dispersed to a certain extent, people don't use machine guns anymore, but slowly solve it with rifles.

And what frightened the Qing army was that there were many sharpshooters among the Ming people, as long as they were close to a kilometer, they would inevitably be sniped, especially those leaders wearing special armor, who were the primary targets of sniping.

What made the Qing army even more at a loss was that the Reading Battalion could still take the initiative to attack when it was surrounded. The Qing army did not dare to come within a kilometer before the attack, so they would always retreat after the attack, and then the soldiers of the Reading Battalion would mount their horses and advance with rifles.

Usually they would advance to a distance of 400 meters and then shoot again.

And if the Qing army chases, they will run. If you don't chase it, keep fighting. The only thing that made the Qing army happy was that the Reading Battalion did not carry artillery.

This is because artillery and shells have become bullets, and in order to bring more bullets, the Reading Battalion did not bring any artillery and shells, and their task was to burn and loot, not to fight a fortified position, and the Manchus did not have artillery, so naturally they did not even bring infantry guns.

The siege ended in nothing, and Dordor knew that it was not an option to besiege it like this, so he retreated. Soon after Duoduo retreated, reinforcements from the Western Regions Military Region arrived.

Winter has arrived, and the Western Regions Military Region did not continue to make any moves, but began to digest the ground it had laid.

…… The three years of the empire were fast approaching, and the budget for the three years of the empire was very generous.

Because of the vigorous mining of precious metals in the past two years, the empire's income from precious metals has reached 80 million silver dollars, which is enough to support the empire's education expenses.

In terms of education expenditure, each student spends about 4 silver dollars per year, which includes teachers' salaries, food, books, infrastructure construction and maintenance, etc.

The population of the empire has been counted, with a total of 196 million Han Chinese, in addition to more than 6 million ethnic minorities and 8 million people who are not recognized as legal.

These are mainly slaves and some indigenous peoples, such as the indigenous people of Siberia, Indochina, and Mongolians, who are not recognized as legal.

Of the Empire's 196 million people, 20 million are in dire need of education.

In addition to the mining of precious metals, the financial revenue of the empire in the second year of the empire added up to 160 million silver dollars, of which the agricultural tax and industrial and commercial tax increased significantly, and the income from customs and ocean trade soared.

This was the year when the empire had new requirements for infrastructure.

The emperor demanded that the empire must have a complete railway network, as well as a good road network, and more importantly, good water facilities.

After the empire budgeted 180 million yuan in education, medical care, military spending, and administrative expenses, the remaining 60 million yuan was all invested in infrastructure construction.

While the empire is spending money, it is also vigorously collecting money. The main manifestation of this is the increasing number of taxes, many of which have not yet entered the collection stage, although they have been formulated.

And the three years of the empire is the time to collect these taxes, and the means of the empire is to draw the blood of the middle and upper classes and lose them to the lower classes.

At the same time, in order to speed up the construction of infrastructure, the emperor ordered the troops stationed overseas to capture foreign slaves.

Zhao Yan planned to use countless alien slaves to build the infrastructure of the empire.

Rural facilities are as important as urban facilities, and if rural facilities do not keep up with the development of cities, people will flock to cities in large numbers.

There is nothing to do with urbanization per se, but it is not normal for rural areas to flood into cities because of poor infrastructure.

Beautiful, affluent, and well-in-infrastructure rural areas are the goals of the empire.

Of course, the empire continued to emigrate, but the immigration policy changed, and the empire's three-year immigration policy became to move people out of the mountains and people from poor areas.

Mountainous areas and some barren areas are the main cause of poverty, because of the constraints of the environment, it is very difficult for people living in that environment to become rich.

So it's better to move people out and leave space for wild animals, after all, there is living space outside, and most of the land is fertile.

The expansion of the empire in terms of force was mainly to the west, and the expansion of production was mainly to the south, and the south was more abundant.

The north, on the other hand, is expanding in heavy industry and metallurgy and mining.

The Empire's agricultural division of labor, the industrial division of labor, and the line of sustainable development were all being implemented.

In the third year of the empire, the empire began to manage its overseas colonies with precision, what is precision management? That is to move in the most profitable and meaningful direction.

The empire planned to build plantations in the fertile regions of the South Seas, Indochina, Australia, and the Americas, all of which would be used to grow agricultural and pastoral products suitable for transportation.

Those suitable for transportation were to be transferred to the colonies for production, while the indigenous industry was vigorously developed for aquaculture, as well as the cultivation of various fruits.

At the same time, the empire successively demarcated vast reserved areas in the South Seas, Australia, and the Americas, and some of these reserved areas could be developed, but most of them were not allowed to be developed, and even if they were allowed to be developed, they were still non-polluting development.

The fishing industry of the empire also developed greatly in the second year, and in the third year of the empire, the fishing industry of the empire will also be fully regulated, and any fishing operations will be prohibited during the period of fish breeding.

Due to the availability of military funds, the Empire's three-year Nuergandu Division and the Western Regions Military Region began a new round of westward expeditions. The main goal of this expedition to the west was to settle the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia.

Liu Heng and other staff officers of Emperor [***] were in charge of the commander-in-chief of the western expedition, while Zhao Yan carried out remote control in Zhaojiabao.

In March of the third year of the Empire, a new round of the Empire's Western Expedition began, and two cavalry divisions launched an attack on Tsarist Russia in the middle and upper reaches of the Volga River.

Two cavalry divisions launched an offensive against the Manchus in the lower Volga.

Imperial merchants flocked to the army, some waiting to buy the spoils of war, others to provide the army with some military supplies, but mainly to buy the spoils.

Some captured loot will be stripped of by the Empire, while some of the loot will be retained by the Empire.
