Chapter 526: Africa

Soon they won the respect of the Indian peasants, and they began to be willing to listen to these learned men who had seen the world tell us about the outside world, about new truths that they had never heard before, and especially about the roots of their poverty.

Gradually, those peasants realized that the reason why they worked hard day and night but still did not have enough to eat was not because of the sins of religious propaganda, they were not guilty, but because of the colonists who squeezed their last drop of blood and sweat, and the lords of the land who fought for the tiger, if they wanted to live a happy life, they must be overthrown, all the land should be distributed equally to each peasant, and every grain of grain they produced should belong to themselves, only in this way can they live a happy life.

In fact, at this time, the land policies of all countries were similar, basically all the land was in the hands of a few landlords, not to mention these poor countries that had just come out of the feudal era, even in the countries of Britain and France in the European powers, including land rent, these things were the same situation there, and even during the First World War, French farmers also had to pay a lot of rent to the landlords.

It's just that because of the development of industry, Europe has withdrawn a large amount of labor from the countryside, so that the landlords who own land have no hired peasants who are willing to work for them, so they have to adopt the method of reducing land rent, and the marketization of labor force is very light, and these so-called irreconcilable contradictions are solved. When the whole country was full of factories, the landlord class could basically be said to have died out, and when the hired peasants could make money from the factories to support their families, the landlords had to become peasants themselves. For example, in China, the good times of landlords have come to an end, and many landlords do not want to sell their land, so they can only take their children to buy agricultural machinery for industrial planting, and the original hired farmers will no longer continue to be exploited by them even if they go to the colonies to open up wasteland.

Only those countries that do not have the ability to play industry are tossed around in that little land every day.

Of course, India at this time must also be such a country. And the situation in this country is even more severe, the most important thing about India for Britain is certainly not because it can provide food, and the British do not eat rice, but its greatest use is to provide industrial raw materials, and it is a plantation of various cash crops. These plantations crowded out the farmland, but the profits from the plantations were plundered in various ways by British merchants, colonial governments, and native kings, and in the end, the Indians had neither the money to buy food to feed their families, nor enough land to produce self-sufficient food. It was common for people to die of starvation in India at this time, and it was not uncommon for a famine to starve to death of tens of millions.

It can be said that this is completely a fertile ground for life, the original history of India, the reason why did not come to a big melee of its own bloodletting, the religious power can be said to be a great contribution, but this is not Yang Feng's business, he is just a waste of the use, as for what fruit to bear, this kind of trivial matter to the emperor's majesty. Is it still necessary to care?

In this way, when the Indian elite began to be busy for their national independence and freedom, another shadow was quietly spreading in the Indian countryside.

For Emperor Yang. He didn't care how much trouble the Asan's resistance would cause to the Chinese colonists in the end, it was completely cost-effective to kill and wound tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of soldiers and then harvest a thoroughly purged India, and besides, it was impossible for the Asan to really cause any serious casualties to the Chinese colonists, there was no industry here at all. They also don't make even a single ordinary rifle, which the British did very well. And it is impossible for them to obtain arms from the outside world, so they rely on their broadswords and spears to fight against the aircraft, chariots, cannons, and machine guns of the Chinese colonizers. If it were replaced by the Afghans, it might still be a bit of a threat, as for the Asan, it would be a joke, and as for the initial provision of them with a small number of weapons, there is no need to care about this, it is better to have a gun without bullets than a big knife and a spear.

At the same time, tens of millions of immigrants were immigrated here, and then the policy continued to encourage Chinese immigrants to have children, while Chinese immigrants were desperately surviving, and on the other hand, they continued to curb and even cleanse the population of the Asan people in various ways, so that in a maximum of twenty or thirty years, the former owners of this land would become an ethnic minority, and then China would really completely control this land.

Not only India, but also Burma, Malaysia, and Indonesia will also use this method to cleanse the aborigines and immigrate the Chinese, just as the Americans did with the westward expansion of the Indians, and gradually expand the territory of the empire with blood and fire.

Panai Island is a very successful example, this island originally had more than 200,000 monkeys, now there are less than 40,000, originally there were only a few thousand Chinese, now there are more than 100,000 Chinese, Yang Feng's goal is to make the whole of Southeast Asia and India, and finally become his Panai Island.

"What should Africa do?" After attacking India, there are still those left in the Pure Land on the entire earth that has not been touched by Emperor Yang except for Antarctica, and the chief attendant Yuan asked curiously.

"Africa, Africa is easy to deal with, for example, if you dig a big hole in the ground, a big hole that no one can climb out of, and then throw a bunch of wild dogs into it, do we still need to take care of the rest?" Emperor Yang said with a cruel smile.

"What does it mean to seal Africa off and let them fight on their own?" Yuan Shikai asked tentatively, he was a little unsure of Emperor Yang's train of thought.

"Yes, use our fleet to block the entire African coast, anyway, it is all the territory of the Entente now, and no ships are allowed to enter or leave at that time, and then use our radio to broadcast to Africa every day how the Entente have suffered a series of defeats in Europe, what do you say the who have been enslaved for so many years will treat those European colonists?" Emperor Yang said.

He had already thought of a way to deal with Africa, which was very simple, that is, to let those rise up against the colonists, and there was no need to instigate, just cut off the connection between the continent and Europe, and then let those understand that the white people would no longer receive any support from their homeland, and the rest of the things would be done by the who had been enslaved for hundreds of years.

Up to now, the German colonies there have all been occupied by the Allied powers, even Cameroon, which is the fiercest fighting, ended its final battle two months ago, and the 5,000 German and Fulani soldiers encircled in Douala ran out of ammunition and surrendered to the besieging British and French troops, southwest Africa was occupied by the South African army participating in the war, Tanganyika was occupied by the Anglo-Portuguese coalition forces, except for the neutral Spain and the Ottoman Empire, which each had a territory in North Africa, and the rest of Africa fell into the hands of the Entente.

In this way, after China enters the war, it can directly send a fleet to block all ports along the African coast on the grounds of cutting off the supply of goods to the Entente, and intercept all ships entering or leaving. Just look at how the Haitians dealt with their French colonizers back then.

And this is just the beginning, what will happen to the after killing all the colonists? They will certainly not sit down and negotiate the demarcation of borders and then establish their own country, the current order in Africa is built under the authority of the colonizers, once the defenders of this order no longer exist, the result can only be a bloody melee between those tribal chieftains for territory, look at Rwanda to know how bloody this kind of melee will be, and this is what Emperor Yang is looking forward to the most.

Even after the war, he was not ready to let the colonizers return to black Africa, he wanted to completely end the colonial era in Africa, whether it was a defeated country or a victorious country, he was not allowed to continue to colonize Africa, and threw that jungle directly to the, and no matter how they established their own country in the future, gave them a continent without any suppression, and then sold guns and ammunition there, let the kill each other and play, and occasionally release a big killer there.

Anyway, the current China, in the foreseeable short term, does not need African resources at all, whether it is iron ore or oil, it does not need Africa, and the Americas and Asia alone cannot be used up, not to mention the huge treasure trove of Siberia, which is needed by the Europeans after the war in the future, so that their resource supply will be cut off.

Of course, such a strategy is certainly not something that can be understood by a person like Chief Yuan, whose impression of Africa only stays on the map, and his purpose is only to remind the Emperor not to forget the distant continent, of course, he mainly wants the Emperor not to forget the gold and diamonds there. As the economy grew, so did the demand for luxury goods in China, especially the women, who were as fanatical about jewelry as they were in their worship of His Majesty the Emperor, and who had made a lot of money from the British in the diamond market over the years.

"The gold mines of South Africa are the only ones that need to be occupied, the job is simple, the British have drained the vast majority of their garrisons, and the Boers are exhausted after the previous wars, and only one army group needs to go over to completely control the whole of South Africa."

Of course, Emperor Yang will not forget the gold mines in South Africa, this thing is not only because of its value, but more importantly, it will interfere with the future hegemony of Huayuan, but at this time, South Africa has no military strength worth considering, and the South African government under the British has only less than 10,000 troops.
