Chapter 565: Xinjiang Construction Corps T

The north of the Ming Dynasty must be absolutely safe. On the rise of the era of sea power. "The small power should be placed in the sea, therefore, the security of the land is necessary, and among the bordering countries, Tsarist Russia has now become the most powerful opponent of the Ming Dynasty, to solve the problem once and for all, so that the Ming can put more effort on the sea, then the only way is to kill this potential enemy."

Now the army to conquer Galdan, gathered in Liaodong, is an opportunity to solve the Russians, grain and grass, morale are ready-made, there is no need for many twists and turns, to the winter clothes also need to be transported from Nanjing, although the current Ming soldiers wear military coats, in Liaodong may be able to barely keep warm, but as the weather is getting colder and colder, Russia is the far north, military coats alone obviously can not solve the problem, on the other hand, it is about Siberia, South Russia and other aspects of the occupation of the problem, where the land is vast and sparsely populated, to occupy is not difficult, Zhu Jun means that where the Ming army hits, where a large number of people are needed, and no land can be wasted, Zhu Jun knows that the Han people's reproductive ability is terrible, maybe the population is only tens of millions, but after a hundred years of peace, it will at least increase by more than six to ten times, therefore, we must take precautions now, otherwise once the population is overcrowded, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the society to claim land after entering the new capital era in the future.

"The Union has called you today about migration." In the Shenyang Imperial Palace, Zhu Jun had a serious face and said to Zhou Mubai and the officials of the six ministries who came with the army.

"Please show the emperor." Regarding Zhu Jun's decision, Zhou Mubai has already discussed with Zhu Jun, this pair of monarchs and ministers have been singing and harmonizing for several years, Zhu Jun said it on the Internet, and Zhou Mubai stood up and asked a word that connects the previous and the next.

"The United is determined to move about 200,000 households to the far north, what do you think?" Zhu Jun said his thoughts quietly, and his face was calm.

"Your Majesty, you can't." Before Zhu Jun's voice fell, an official immediately objected: "Your Majesty, it is an extremely cold place, dripping water into ice, even if it is a place where Qiuyi is not willing to stay, the emperor is sympathetic to the people, how can he conquer such a large number of people to suffer there."

The official hit the nail on the head and said the crux of the matter, the migration population has been arranged once, from India to Australia, as well as the South Seas, a total of at least 500,000 households have migrated, more than 3 million people, but this migration is completely different, India's land is fertile, the temperature is suitable, even if it is Australia, although there are more deserts, but it is still a habitable place in the coastal area, but it seems that this Siberia and South Russia are where they are? It's a hellish place, with snowflakes all year round, glaciers everywhere, and it's extremely difficult to grow food.

Siberia is a vast area of North Asia within Russia. It stretches from the Ural Mountains in the west, to the Pacific Ocean in the east, to the Arctic Ocean in the north, to the mountains of north-central Kazakhstan in the southwest, and to China, Mongolia and North Korea in the south. Since ancient times, it has been the living area of nomads, its territory is vast, according to natural conditions, it can be divided into three main regions: the west is the West Siberian Plain, between the Ural Mountains and the Yenisei River, the terrain is low and flat, the swamp is wide, the average altitude is Limi, and the main rivers are the Ob River and the Yenisei River; The central part is the Central Siberian Plateau, starting from the Putolana Mountain in the northwest corner of the Yenisei River in the west, and the Dalena River basin in the east, with an average altitude of meters, and the plateau is broken; Southern and northeastern mountainous regions, including the Chersky Mountains, Verkhnyyansk Mountains, Baikal Mountains, Eastern and Western Sayan Mountains, Altai Mountains, etc.

Siberia is located in the middle and high latitudes, with a significant continental climate, which strengthens from west to east, and the winters are cold and long, and the summers are mild and short. The average annual temperature is lower than O. Absolute low temperatures in the northeastern Yakutia region are blades.

Although Siberia is poor in land and unsuitable for human habitation, it is very rich in resources, including oil, natural gas, coal, gold, gold and stone, etc., and the distribution of various resources is relatively concentrated, and there are many large mineral deposits. This vast area is known as an inexhaustible treasure trove of resources. Zhu Jun once remembered that the Russian scientist and writer Lomonosov once said: "Russia's strength lies in the richness of Siberia."

Because of this, it also strengthened Zhu Jun's determination to move the population north, otherwise even if he defeated the Russians and seized this land, there would be no Han people living there, and sooner or later, it would be occupied by others.

"Lian's mind has been decided, Cabinet scholar Zhou Mubai also agrees with the meaning of Lian, you don't have to persuade you, Lian discussed with you, but it is to attract people to migrate, where the land is vast and sparsely populated, the land is enough, the only drawback is to walk through the cold, the cold and the cold must be not many people who voluntarily migrate, since this is the case, then the imperial court may wish to mention more preferential policies, if the tip is not good, then the household department will set up a new corps, the Union has already thought of a name, it is called the Xinjiang Construction Corps, Xinjiang is the newly developed land of the Ming Dynasty, The alliance formed an army and gave those who were willing to migrate according to their salary, and as long as they were willing to stay in the far north, the imperial court could give them enough money, and in addition, they could also be given enough land, although these lands could not grow food, but they were rich in minerals, and once they were opened in the future, the alliance would ensure that everyone could spend a lot of money

"Xinjiang Construction Corps?" Many officials murmured, and then, their brows tightened, and the household servant who accompanied the army served: "Your Majesty, there are at least 600,000 people in the 200,000 households that have migrated, and 600,000 people have entered the seven directions, how big is the hole given by the imperial court every year?" This month, it will cost about two million taels of silver, and it is nothing to pay it off at one time, but if it is like this every year, it will be 20 million a year, and it will be 3 trillion in ten years. ”

Zhu Jun knew that someone would calculate the economic accounts, although the tax of the Ming Dynasty is now hundreds of millions of silver, of which the commercial tax levied on merchants is the largest, accounting for eighty percent of the tax, but the expenditure is also more, the military salary of the three armies is as high as seven million taels per year, and the rest of the expenditures are at least fifty million taels, although there is still a balance of tens of millions of taels, but the most expensive one has not yet been calculated, the imperial court needs to build a large number of ports and roads and railway tracks every year, as well as the transformation of the city, due to the expansion of the city, The construction of all kinds of public facilities, these things, require tens of millions of taels of silver a year, and now with the expenditure of 20 million a year, it is really beyond our means, but. For these officials, it may not be worth it, but for Zhu Jun, a few years later, with the shortage of resources, the value of countless mineral resources in Siberia may not be comparable to tens of millions of taels of silver a year.

In later generations, Siberia had huge reserves of oil, natural gas, and carbon, and about half of the potential oil resources of the former Soviet Union were concentrated in Siberia, while the prospective reserves of the Tyumen oil fields could reach 100 million tons, and there were 100 million tons that could be exploited. The natural gas reserves of the former Soviet Union were trillions of cubic feet, ranking first in the world, while the West Siberian oil and gas fields, mainly in the Tyumen region, have many existing oil and gas fields, and are the second largest oil and gas fields in the world after the Persian Gulf. The oil and gas resources of Tyumen alone have surpassed the entire reserves of the United States.

Coal is one of the main fuel power sources of the former Soviet Union, and the coal resources of the Communist Party are in the Siberian region east of the Urals, and it is estimated that among the proven reserves, it is estimated that the Siberian region is about the same.

In addition, Siberia is rich in metallic and non-metallic minerals, and it has almost all the mineral resources that exist in the world. Non-ferrous metal ores such as iron, copper, aluminum, tin, nickel, lead, zinc, chin, titanium, precious metal ores such as gold and silver, rare metal ores such as tungsten, key and potassium, non-metallic minerals such as mica, asbestos, fluorite, graphite, talc, etc., as well as natural chemical raw material mineral resources such as salt, apatite, and calcium phosphate are all very considerable. Among them, iron, copper, aluminum, and tin reserves are particularly abundant.

If the Ming Dynasty can get here, I am afraid that after entering the era of industrialization or electrification, these resources alone will be enough for the Ming Dynasty to use for hundreds of years.

Naturally, these officials do not have such a long-term vision, but Zhu Jun can see the future, no matter how the national strength of various countries changes, but the abundant resources required for modernization will never change. Zhu Jun said in a deep voice: "20 million taels of silver a year is considered a military salary, give them half of it, two taels of silver per person per month, in addition, this road to the extreme north must be built, these things are naturally in charge of Zhou Mubai and Zhou Aiqing, the idea of the federation has been made, and all ministries immediately take action to formulate a policy to come out for the federation to see."

The weather in the south of the Yangtze River in autumn is cool at this time, and today is a holiday, many workers who are tired for a week take their wives and children, or make an appointment with a few friends, call a carriage, go out of the city for a drug outing, at this time the breeze is gentle, the sun is shining, and it is a good day for an outing.

It's just that the newspaper in the city is unusually late to sell, because early in the morning, the owners of the major newspapers were invited to drink tea by the fans of the North and South Town Fu Division, and the content of the tea is nothing more than one, that is, the North and South Town Fu Division needs to report some things, and all the content written yesterday and prepared for today's publication has been cancelled, and the court has prepared a draft for them, and what they have to do is to promulgate it according to the will of the court.

It was not until noon that the hot newspaper was rushed out and appeared in the streets and alleys.

There is only one content in all the Di newspapers, that is, about the Xinjiang Construction Corps, the Di Bao first gave a detailed overview of Siberia, and naturally had to add a few words about the rich mineral resources of Siberia, and finally the emperor decreed that the construction of the Xinjiang Construction Corps would not be barren in order to open up the territory and expand the territory, so that the land that the soldiers had bloodied and desperately won would not be barren, and in order to prevent countless minerals from falling into the hands of the enemy, they were now starting to recruit migrants.

Of course, there is no shortage of temptations, a salary of two taels of silver a month, that is, as long as you are willing to migrate there, the court will give you two taels of silver every month, plus your own hard work there, the silver earned in a month may not be less than the salary in Jiangnan, and more importantly, the newspaper also said that as long as you are willing to migrate, the court will give a large piece of land, if one day open the land, The money came in a hurry.

After the news of the Di Bao was published, the yamen of each province and city set up recruitment offices for special people to sign up.

,,

Half a month later, the first batch of 50,000 immigrants began to move north, accompanied by the Ottoman envoys, when they heard the news that the Ming was ready to do something to the Russians, the Ottoman envoy in Nanjing almost jumped, and then immediately contacted the Ministry of Rites, expressing his willingness to provide all the information of the Russians, to be honest, and the Russians fought three or four, the Ottomans knew all about the deployment of Russian troops and combat habits, and what he had to do now was to try to help the Ming to the Russian belly. The Russians are afraid that they will be beaten half-dead in less than three months, and the two-front battle will not be able to be done smoothly even if it is a level of power, not to mention that the Russians have to face the two strong opponents of the Ming and Ottomans at the same time, as long as the first line is defeated, then the other front will immediately be unstable, and a large number of troops will be transferred from the Ottoman front to the Far East, which is undoubtedly excellent news for the Ottomans who were attacked by Austria and Russia on both sides, It was as if a weighing camel was suddenly placed on the other end of the balance that had been originally balanced, and the only possibility was that the balance of victory would tip to the side of Osman and Ming without any suspense.

The Ottoman envoy's name was Harry, and he happily took a steam car to the north, and after the steam car whistled, he had a lot of thoughts, and he was very respectful of the steam car made by the Han Chinese, and he had tried it once a few months ago, and it was a really good feeling, although there would be some bad health. But Harry was still convinced that the Han Chinese were able to create such an amazing machine, and that the alliance between the Ottoman Empire and the Ming Dynasty was definitely the right choice, and that His Majesty the Ottoman Emperor was like Osman I in the past, and a great monarch would always make the best choice for himself.

Osman I is one of the most famous emperors in history, and his name has been the name of the Turkish Empire for more than 64 years, this huge empire spanned the three continents of Asia, Africa and Europe, and was one of the most powerful and prosperous empires in the world for a long time.

The Ottoman Turks were a branch of the Western Turkic people, and after being expelled by the Han Chinese during the Tang Dynasty, they migrated from Mobei to Dacaoyuan in Central Asia to the eastern part of the Iranian Plateau. In the Khorasan region of eastern Iran. They came to Islam. Later in "The Whip of God." Under the persecution of the Mongols, about the entire family of them moved to Asia Minor under the leadership of the leader Ertugrul, and found a home in this beautiful land. At that time, most of Asia Minor was controlled by the Seljuk Turks' Sultanate of Rum, and the Sultan of Rum generously treated the Ottomans of the same species, giving the region of Sogood in northwestern Asia Minor bordering the Byzantine Empire to Ertuglul as a vassal to defend the Sultanate of Rum. Ertu Grul was Uthman's father.

Then Ertugrul died, and the ugly Osman I succeeded to the throne. The situation had changed dramatically, and while the Ottoman state was thriving, its suzerain, the Sultanate of Rûm, had finally come to an end after repeated Mongol blows. At the critical juncture, the Ottomans took over the banner of Turkey, declared their independence and statehood, and proclaimed themselves emirs, and proclaimed themselves sultans as the most authoritative people, which was the source of the Ottoman Turkish Empire four hundred years ago.

Osman was an outstanding military strategist and organizer, and under his leadership the Ottoman state continued to grow.

Osman was appreciated by the respected Sufi elder Sheikh of Islam for his ability and bearing, and married Sheikh's daughter Malha. This fortunate marriage greatly helped the Ottoman hegemony, and because of the Sheikh's popularity, more Muslims defected to the Osman banner. When the Sheikh ascended the throne of the Ottomans, he presented him with a sword, the Sword of Victory, which later became a sacred relic given to successive Ottoman monarchs when they ascended the throne.

Ottoman had avoided attacking his former suzerain, the Sultanate of Rûm, and after the fall of the Sultanate of Rum, as the state was not yet strong enough, he recognised the Ilkhanate as suzerain, which ruled Persia, as suzerain, and paid tribute to the Mongol court on behalf of the principalities of Asia Minor. The main target of Ottoman expansion was the pagan Byzantine Empire. The thousand-year-old state of Byzantium was now like an old man suffering from a carbuncle, its army was mainly mercenaries, and it was no longer supported by the armies of the Eastern Crusade, and it was defeated by the united Ottomans.

The Byzantine cities occupied by the Ottomans included Eskisehir, Lefkai, Kagahissar, Inegler, and Yenishir. He also defeated the Byzantine army at the Battle of Bafaenon and earned the title of "Bey". After capturing the city of Melanor in northwestern Asia Minor, he renamed it Kagahissar and moved its capital there as a base for further advances.

The Ottomans then set their sights on Brusha, the last stronghold of the Byzantine Empire in Asia Minor, and once they took Brusha, the Strait of Marmara leading to Europe would be revealed. The siege was fought very hard and lasted for several years. As the city was about to be breached, Osman's life came to an end.

It is precisely because of this founding monarch of the Ottoman Empire that now, the Ottoman envoy Hari will go to Liaodong to tell the Ming Emperor a secret, and this secret has a great relationship with the founding monarch and the Russians.
