386 Your Majesty, what do you want to do?!
Haha, scare everyone! Why do you want to get into the bottomless pit of Tibet? Explained in the next chapter. 【 I want: super fast update 】
"This Sun Jiugong, without blinking an eye, this is 150,000 people!"
In the study, Li Mo pushed open the window, and a cool breeze immediately floated on the Kunming Lake outside, dispelling the stuffiness of the room, which was hotter than the weather, and the mood was finally recovered, and the Northwest Army of Alimatu in the First War almost encountered any resistance, 30,000 cavalry, 30,000 infantry were like a hot blade stabbed into the milk, and they were directly killed to the border line in one breath, and 150,000 rebels and civilians were killed.
When Ma Anliang and Dong Fuxiang fled, they brought hundreds of thousands of people into Xinjiang, and in addition to the Hui people who were deceived by them with lies all the way in Gansu and Qinghai, they almost gathered more than 500,000 people.
This is already the vitality of their future, but first the Urumqi attack and defense death was as high as 50,000, and another 50,000 people were captured as a member of the construction corps, with hard labor to transform the mind, and later in the small-scale chase between the two sides, they almost lost in a row, and did not achieve a decent victory, Sun Jiugong deliberately used the Mongolian cavalry, the ancestors of these guys on the grassland were executioners who killed people without blinking, and then Sun Jiugong's instigation was originally a net slaughter where he passed, and now it is 150,000, At least for a few decades, Li Mo won't have to think about their problems anymore.
Although Li Mo does not advocate methods such as extermination, but now, it is 1 year, not 41 years, the Chinese army has done absolutely in Borneo and other places, he can't say that he dislikes these people, but he has no good feelings, as long as he thinks about the ** people in later generations, he has a reason to block these people from the border.
I don't know if it's been back for a long time, and his thoughts are slowly getting closer to this era, after hearing this number, he only sighed slightly, and Chen Ping, who came to report, was disapproving, and said: "The emperor" sometimes can't be soft-hearted. ”
"I know." Li Mo nodded: "I'm just thinking, there is a shortage of more than 100,000 laborers in the northwest, and the human resources there are scarce, and now there is a lack of so many people, and I don't know when I will recover." ”
"The population of the northwest is sparse, and Xinjiang is a remote place, but I think that we can start to gradually migrate to the northwest while we are now calming down, but all parts of Gansu and Qinghai have not recovered from the catastrophe decades ago, and if you want to immigrate, you may have to use your brain from other places." Chen Ping thought about it and said.
Li Mo nodded, if you want to fundamentally solve the population problem in the northwest, immigrants must be necessary, but the plot of the Chinese people's love for their families is very deep, and if they want to go to the bitter cold land in the northwest, they still need to use some brains. 【 I want: super fast update 】
In addition to using economic means to stimulate, it is also necessary to ensure that these people have work and land to plant wherever they go, so this kind of thing is not urgent, so he immediately said: "You can discuss this matter with Mr. Li, there are still many landless people in Jiangnan" It should be no problem to make up a few million people, and you tell him that it is good that the Central Plains can move more past" The land in these places has been cultivated for thousands of years, and the land has long been overwhelmed, if you can take advantage of the immigrants to move the population out of this area and carry out soil and water conservation, Maybe it will come back to life in 100 years. ”
"The emperor is far-sighted, you set up a forestry company before, I'm afraid it's also for this matter, right?" When he was in a good mood, Chen Ping couldn't help but pat himself on the back.
Li Mo smiled, and was just about to continue talking, when he saw a figure flash at the door, and asked, "Come in." ”
It was Li Xiufeng who walked in, and after seeing Li Mo and Chen Parallel, he said: "Your Majesty, the news of the Tibet Railway has also been released, and the preparatory company in Shanghai has also been registered, and according to your meaning, I have purchased machinery from Europe and the United States, and also recruited experts and skilled workers through European newspapers, but the British have clearly refused, and also said that the construction of the Tibet Railway will seriously affect the relations between the two countries, and they also protested to the Prime Minister, asking you to think carefully and not to do anything that damages the interests of the two countries again." ”
"Where's the manpower?" After listening to Li Xiufeng's report, the corners of Li Mo's mouth hooked and continued to ask.
"The prime minister has sent a special envoy to Japan, it is said that Saigo Congdao has been moved, willing to let us collect 300,000 laborers, Germany is also willing to let us collect 50,000 on Kyushu Island, but the United States is a little unhappy, saying that we are deliberately enslaving and mutilating Japan, because the railway into Tibet is a plateau all the way, the air is thin and inaccessible, but this kind of "speech" theory can not be affected, at present, the domestic economy of "Japan" is still very difficult, although Saigo Congdao quelled the rebellion and unified the island, but Germany, the United States and Britain are very deeply involvedRecently, a meeting was held to discuss the distribution of silk profits.
”
"Borneo is very good, Lord Zhong Wenyao has already sent the first batch of people, but it will take a month to wait for them to arrive in Qinghai."
"Hehe, the Americans are worried that we will kill the Japanese themselves, but they are afraid that we will drain all the young and strong laborers in the country, and no one will repair the railroad in their country and Alaska." Chen Ping said as he spoke, but frowned.
During this time, he was busy with the military structure proposed by Li Mo, although he had heard about the construction of the Tibet Railway, but he had never had the opportunity to ask in person, what puzzled him was that everyone knew the difficulty of entering the Tibet Railway, but this time the wise and accustomed Young Master Li did not seem to hear any opinions, after it was published in the newspaper, many scholars wrote a book to slow down the construction, and even wrote a joint letter to the Prime Minister's Office, asking Li Enfu to persuade the emperor, but unexpectedly the Prime Minister's Office not only remained silent this time, And he took the initiative to help contact the Japanese to recruit labor, which made him very strange.
"Well, that's good."
Li Mo smiled, and suddenly pointed to the Malay Peninsula in front of the big map of the aisle and said, "You will contact Mr. Li later, and say that I have the intention to build the Kra Isthmus Grand Canal, and you ask him to immediately send a special envoy to Siam to discuss, and in addition, it is still the same, publish in the newspaper, recruit people, and go to Europe to publicize." ”
Kra Isthmus Canal?! As soon as Li Mo finished speaking, Chen Ping suddenly stood up, but neither of them seemed to see him, Li Xiufeng nodded and walked out immediately.
Looking at the Kra Isthmus on the big map that was hooked by Li Mogang, Chen Ping's face suddenly became solemn, this is not an ordinary place!
Kra Isthmus is a narrow place on the Malay Peninsula, in the past two years, some people have indeed proposed to dig a canal here, to make it the Suez of the East, especially Germany and France have been very enthusiastic, and even found the King of Siam to discuss, almost obtained the right to excavate, but then because of British intervention, Siam finally did not agree to dig.
The reason for the British intervention was very simple, because once the Grand Canal of Kra Isthmus was successfully dug, the distance from the Indian Ocean to Asia could be directly shortened by more than 1,000 kilometers, which could save a lot of freight and time, but in that case, the status of the Strait of Malacca would be reduced, which would be a great threat to Britain, which was currently holding the throat of Asia.
The reason why Britain withdrew from China was not only because there was no way to start a second war at this time, but also because they controlled Gapo and held the Strait of Malacca, because as long as they held here, Hua could only make trouble in the Far East and could not go to the Indian Ocean, where Britain's core interests were located!
According to intelligence, after the Far East Fleet went to India for correction, the British had begun to accumulate heavy troops in Canada, and the troops previously stationed in Hong Kong and Shanghai had entered Canada, and so far there had a full 100,000 troops.
In addition to the army, they also began to strengthen the coastal defense facilities there, according to the destroyers patrolling the Strait of Malacca, during this time the British continued to transport a large number of shore guns and other facilities to Gapo, and also began to build batteries there, in addition to at least 3,000 mines, and for the first time laid out a lightning net similar to a fishing net to prevent a sneak attack by submarines.
The defeat in the Far East has made Britain understand the importance of containing China, and they are also afraid that China's entry into the Indian Ocean will threaten their core interests, so their intention to build a second Gibraltar fortress in Canada is already obvious.
To dig the Kra Isthmus now is tantamount to challenging the core interests of Britain!
Siam is located between Vietnam and Burma, the land is rich and there are many products, and because Britain and France contain each other, so they have not been invaded and become other people's colonies, but now China has defeated Britain, and the pressure of France has retreated in Vietnam, and the situation of dominating the Far East is obvious.
And there is also France, France has always been very enthusiastic about the construction of the Kra Isthmus Grand Canal, if this news is known to them, I am afraid that they will immediately raise their hands to support, plus Germany, Italy and other countries are also dissatisfied with the British control of Gapo, so once this storm rises, it is afraid that it will be a storm that no one can contain!
This is not a joke, if Britain does not have the technology of Zhonghua-class warships, it is possible to rely on military deterrence to achieve the means, but the first British Dreadnought is already under construction, once the test is completed in the water, it is not a problem at all to build dozens of ships with British capabilities!
Although the Boer were still consuming Britain, with Britain's strong financial advantage, victory was only a matter of time, and once Britain broke out of the Boer vortex and cooperated with their crazy ship-building capabilities, I am afraid that it would ...... Old Chen Ping swallowed his saliva, is the emperor crazy?
It was already crazy to privately build a difficult railway in the world, and now he was going to dig the Grand Canal of the Kra Isthmus, did he feel that he had too much money? Or do you simply feel that your chief of staff is too idle and ready to find something to do for yourself?!
One north and one south, two huge and almost bottomless projects, Your Majesty, what do you want to do?! If you don't think you have any money, you might as well build thirty or fifty battleships!
"Yuanshou, how do you think my plan is small?" Li Mo didn't seem to see that his face was gloomy, and he was about to cry, Chief of Staff Chen, who suddenly hooked the corners of his mouth, picked up the pen from the table and drew two huge arcs on the map, and then pointed the tip of the pen at India, and said with a smile: "You say, what if one day Britain gets up and suddenly finds that his king's crown is about to fall?" ”
Chen Ping's eyes suddenly exploded.
