When Li Xiao received the report about Australia, it was already autumn. Judging from the report, the style of the Marine Corps is no different from that of the devil soldiers. But fortunately, the infrastructure did not burn. Just pack people up!

Tobe likes the people who are sent back from Australia, because these people are inside. Most of the surviving men were tall and athletic, and were well suited to work as coolies in the mines. Many women are also tall and big, and they are deeply liked by big families. The weak maid can't do too much physical work, and ordinary people can't support eunuchs. These strong, yellow-haired people fill this gap. Anyway, they are all women, and they are not afraid of the fire of the backup.

Anyway, before this batch of people was sent to Daming, they were booked out by various channels. All of them are high-door and big-door households!

Li Xiao knew that it was very anti-human to do this, but there was nothing he could do. The primitive accumulation of every empire is stinking like a fish, and in the words of Marx, filth flows from every pore.

As a rising empire, the Ming Dynasty is also not exempt from vulgarity. Before machinery was effectively used in the mines, there was always a need for physically strong coolies in the mines. Europeans chose landless peasants, and the famous sheep eating man is a vivid portrayal. The Americas opted for the criminal slave trade, and hundreds of millions of black slaves were packed and transported to the American continent.

The hardships of transportation have led to very high mortality rates. So much so that behind every slave ship, there were sharks following them.

The plundering of inferior civilizations by superior civilizations is not only based on wealth, but also from people.

The wheel of history is so merciless, some people have to live a good life, others have to endure suffering. This is a cruel necessity for human beings, and there is basically no solution to this problem.

The world that Li Xiao experienced was basically the 400-year history of the West running rampant in the world. Now that there is a chance to change, Li Xiao doesn't mind copying their strategy. As an ancient oriental civilization, Li Xiao feels that China has the ability to stand on the top of the world's nations. Despite the dry bones underfoot, the view from the top of the mountain is still dizzying.

Those places that flaunt democracy and freedom are not covered with dry bones under their feet.

"The country's ban on salt and iron has been lifted, and those from the Salt Gang and the Cao Gang can be sent to Australia. There was a foundation laid by the British, and many houses and farmlands were ready-made. They go there and should get used to it quickly. ”

"It's already been assigned. The following news came that many people were willing to go there after hearing about that place. The official family gave a very good salary, fifty acres of land per person, according to the person's hair. No one cares whether they grow their own crops or abandon them, and there are no taxes for five years. The imperial court will also give them farm tools, and in general, the treatment is quite good. ”

"Hmm!" Li Xiao nodded, Ai Husheng can always be reassuring.

"Oh! Weapons are issued to them, and if the demobilized soldiers are willing to go, the treatment can be doubled. We must organize a militia organization, and match them with the weapons that our troops have eliminated, such as revolvers and pistols. The place was too far away, and if something happened, they had to be able to protect themselves. If the tragedy can't be reported back to China, let's organize people to take revenge. The cucumber dishes are cold! ”

"This matter needs to be co-organized by the Ministry of War."

"You go to Mr. Zhang, he is now the chief officer of the military department. Overseas immigrants should adhere to the policy of armed immigration, and we are not there to help the natives. We are going to rule them, and force is absolutely indispensable. We must first make them fear us before they can respect us. ”

"No! What do you mean, I'll make it clear to Mr. Zhang and the people in the Yancao Gang. ”

"The prospecting team needs to set off as soon as possible and recruit people from the various steel mills at the same time. The machine and equipment are also booked! As soon as you find a mine, you will immediately build a factory next to the mine. Out of the personnel, the subsidy should be generous.

In addition, in conjunction with the Ministry of Industry, we will inspect some places suitable for the construction of ports. In that place, we need a lot of harbors. The big one! In this way, the big ship can be moored, the machinery and equipment can be sent over, and all kinds of materials can be sent back to Daming.

Daming needs to develop, but you know. Daming lacks copper, iron, and many metal elements. We don't have these things in Daming, so we can only look overseas. Mr. Sun said that I was a bandit, and I went out to rob if I didn't have it.

But you can talk about it, the Ming Dynasty has developed to this day. I need a huge amount of supplies every day, and I don't send people out to grab it. "Li Xiao spread his hands, this is also something that can't be helped. If you want to develop due to lack of materials, you can only take the road of plunder.

"God is unfair, and many good things don't give us China. In fact, what we lack most is not these metals, but actually oil. Recently, an oil field was discovered in Yumen, but I heard that the reserves are not too high. ”

"It doesn't matter if he's tall or not, let's pull it out first. Build an oil refinery on site to fuel the airships. Next year, when the railway to Hami is completed, I will continue to march into the army. I hope that this time, we can fight all the way to the Ili River Valley.

The Ili River valley is rich in water and grass, and there is a lot of land suitable for farming. Not only can you be nomadic, but you can also cultivate farmland. A detachment of men and horses was stationed there, and armed immigrants were stationed in the fields. We can occupy the entire Western Regions north of the Tianshan Mountains! As for the southern foot of the Tien Shan Mountains, they will send people to surrender to us. When will the Uyghurs be able to fight well. ”

"It's okay to scale up the fields, but the problem now is people. The population of Daming is still insufficient! According to the statistics of the Ministry of Households, last year because of the disturbance caused by the Uighurs in Guanzhong. The annual population growth is only more than 2 million! You have conquered such a large territory, but it would be in vain if no one could occupy it.

We still have to learn the lessons of Datang. ”

"Yes! The water passes through the quicksand, and we can't just leave some traces in the Western Regions. Let's really gain a foothold in the Western Regions! Therefore, I have set our western territory in the Ili River Valley. As long as we reach the foothold of the Ili River Valley, we will no longer move forward blindly. Li Xiao knew that Ai Husheng was worried that Li Xiao's blind expansion would eventually lead to the problem of being unable to rule because of the large territory area.

Thinking about the scenery of Datang back then, the four towns of Anxi were established. Its territory area far exceeded the ruling ability of the Tang population at that time. As a result, when Datang fell apart, the four towns of Anxi also became history. The Han people there suffered a tragic fate and fell victim to the expansion of the Han nation.

History cannot repeat itself, and tragedy cannot repeat itself. On territorial issues, Li Xiao knows moderation. When the population of the Ming Dynasty exploded to the point where it could not be contained, it would not be too late to expand outward. Anyway, the time window is on the side of the Ming Dynasty. Today's initiative is also on the side of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Xiao believes that the time window is on the side of Daming, but Geerdan does not think so. The army of the Ming Dynasty has successfully occupied Hami, and for this gateway to the Western Regions, Geldan has no intention of snatching it.

After so many years of fighting the urban offensive and defensive war with Daming, it was only successful in Lanzhou. That time, there were Tubo people as the internal response. But now, all the Mongols in Hami have been killed or captured. What the hell should I do!

Lost Star Gorge and lost Hami City. The entire Western Regions is like a beautiful woman lying on the bed without clothes, waiting for the good fortune of Daming. The Ili River valley is rich in water and grass, and it is a rare treasure land in the Western Regions. However, the treasure land could not maintain the decline of the Jungar Mongols, and if they wanted to survive, they could only go west. Squeezing the weaker ethnic groups is like an old Han Chinese proverb.

Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat dried shrimp!

Shrimp......!

Geldan thinks that he has not yet degenerated to the point of shrimp. His eyes fell on the Uzbeks, the descendants of the blue wolf and the white deer, the descendants of the great Genghis Khan, how could it be shrimp. The decaying Bukhara Khanate is the shrimp, and if the Ming wants to eat Lao Tzu, then Lao Tzu will eat you.

From the beginning of winter, Geldan began to actively prepare for an offensive against the Bukhara Khanate. When the time came in September, the grass grew on the grassland, the eagles flew and the horses were strong. Geldan has embarked on his own ferocious journey!

It turns out that as long as you don't face a violent opponent like Da Ming. The Mongol cavalry is still mighty!

In the first battle of Zelaf, 30,000 Mongol cavalry under the command of Geldan easily tore through the Uzbek defense. When the Uzbeks concentrated a large number of troops to prepare for a counterattack, an overwhelming barrage of rockets fell from the sky.

The dense Uzbek army was engulfed in smoke in an instant, leaving only stumps and severed arms all over the ground.

Times had changed, and the Mongol cavalry no longer held bows and arrows in their hands, but powerful rifles. Behind them were no longer a battalion of cumbersome craftsmen, but rockets of incredible power.

The Uzbeks were completely blinded, and they did not understand what new weapons the Mongols used. So much so that the armed confrontation became a one-sided massacre!

Since the Battle of Zerav, the battle schedule has become a marching schedule. Wherever the Mongol cavalry went, there was basically no resistance. All the cities closed their gates, and the inhabitants closed their gates.

They thought that in this way, they could defend themselves against the powerful Mongol cavalry. After all, in the time of Genghis Khan, the Mongol cavalry attacked only those important cities. Some small cities, which the Mongol cavalry simply did not bother to capture.

The wind-like knight held the huge bag of explosives and urged the sturdy horses to gallop to the gates of the city at night. Throw down the lit explosives pack, and the heavy gate will be blown away like two pieces of paper.

As the defenders of the city were in chaos amid the sound of explosions, the thunderous hooves of the Mongol cavalry came from far and near. On the bumpy horses, the marksmanship of the Mongol cavalry was still very accurate. Uzbek soldiers on the city walls, as long as they dare to show their heads, will be politely greeted by bullets.

City after city was captured, and the Uzbeks were terrified of the Mongols. The legend of the brutality of the Mongols is spread everywhere, and the bloody Samar Camp of Genghis Khan has been brought up again. The people in the capital of the Bukhara Khanate were all trembling and listening to the news that the Mongols were getting closer and closer.

Those who have the slightest ability will flee Samarkand with their families and possessions. It doesn't matter where you go, just stay away from the Mongols anyway. God knows what the cruel Mongols would do to the inhabitants of the city.

"Great Emir, the old minister advises you to move to the city of Bukhara as soon as possible. And actively negotiate with the Mongols, anyway, the Mongols just want to grab something. They won't take it and not go! Muharrah, the leader of Mangit, said miserably to the emir. His army had suffered the heaviest losses in the Battle of Zelaf, and now he wanted nothing more than to get as far away from the Mongols as possible.

"You old fellow, you've been scared out of the mongols. The Uzbeks will definitely not surrender like the Mongols. Great emir, you should know about Genghis Khan's attack on Samarkand hundreds of years ago. Can you bear to bear that the lives of thousands of Muslins were taken by the Mongols as fierce as jackals? ”

"**** You don't say pretty words, where were you during the battle of Zerav? The warriors of our tribe shed their blood for the Empire, where were your people then? "Muhara was furious, and at the time of the battle of Zeraf, he was actually a second-line unit. Because the ****'s army was routed very quickly, he was attacked by the Mongols ferociously.

"Didn't the warriors of our clan shed blood? It is your people who are vulnerable that make the Mongols so arrogant. "**** immediately replied.

"That's it! All right! Seeing that Muhala was about to fight back, the emir hurried to stop this pointless quarrel.

Although the Uzbeks established a unified dynasty, the chiefs of the various tribes still had very great power. On weekdays, they are intrigued to get the best out of their respective clans. Now that the wolf-like Mongol soldiers are invading, they are still entangled in the interests of the tribes!

Samarkand is the sphere of influence of ****, of course he has to defend here. And Muhara's sphere of influence is in Bukhara, and he is of course willing to withdraw people to Bukhara. As long as the peace talks with the Mongols are successful, he will be able to keep his territory. As for the life or death of the ****, Muhala will not care.

"At this point, we really can't fight anymore. Not only are the Mongols lightning-fast horses, but more importantly, their weapons are much better than ours. With our weapons, fighting them is death. I suggest, peace talks! Grant everything the Mongols asked! Another important minister, Mustafa, also stepped forward.

As soon as he spoke, the court hall, which had just been silent, became lively again. The courtiers kept arguing, and some of them were so red in the face that they rolled up their sleeves and were about to fight. Fortunately, before going to the temple, their weapons were taken away. Otherwise, it is very likely that they will fight in the court.

"Enough! That's enough! The emir looked at his men with great anger.

"Durkheim, you go and talk to the Mongols and see what they want." After the anger, the emir made a wise choice. After all, he also knew that today's Uzbekistan was no match for the Mongols.

"Even if I want peace talks, I will not give up Samarkand." Hearing the word peace talks, **** immediately shouted loudly.
