"Big brother, how are you?" Seeing the eldest brother who was alive and well, now lying on the bed with no blood on his face, Tagawa Nanazaemon's heart was like a knife.

"Isn't that it? I was shot in the right chest, and I can't die! Zheng Sen couldn't move, so he could only reluctantly smile at Tagawa Nanazaemon.

In the past few days, Zheng Sen felt that his injuries were improving. However, there is always a tingling feeling in my heart. This feeling made him very bad, and when he thought of the backward medical technology in Europe, Zheng Sen felt even more bottomless.

But fortunately, these European doctors did not chop their feet and hands as they did in the past. Otherwise, I might have lost an arm by now.

"The medical conditions in Fort Madgar are still a little worse, and when your injuries are stabilized, our airship will send you back to Crete. The hospital there is much stronger than here. He doesn't even have penicillin! "From the moment he came in, Tagawa Nanazaemon was dissatisfied with the conditions of the Royal Prussian Academy of Medicine.

Especially the doctors, Tagawa Nanazaemon even saw a bearded man. This is absolutely not allowed among the Ming doctors.

In the corridor, there is no smell of disinfectant water that often wafts from Daming Hospital.

The nurses were conscientious and took good care of Zheng Sen very cleanly. Just seeing the two lumps of ...... on their chests, Tagawa Nanazaemon was worried that the eldest brother couldn't stand the nosebleeds.

What made Tagawa Nanazaemon unbearable the most was that when Zheng Sen was unconscious. The Prussians actually found a gypsy and used what incense therapy to treat Zheng Sen.

What the hell is incense therapy? Never heard of it at all!

Who doesn't know the Gypsies, a people of chaos and squalor. Tagawa Nanazaemon, who has some medical knowledge, is very afraid that those gypsies who exude a foul smell will pass on some unknown diseases to Zheng Sen.

Now that he is here, he will definitely send Zheng Sen back to Crete for treatment.

"No, I have business to do here. You can ask Crete to send a few doctors and nurses to take care of me. Since the marshal has sent you, I will tell you what I want to do with Russia. Lying in bed these days, Zheng Sen thought about Russia.

Now, the main object of the Ming Dynasty's rectification is Russia. But Russia is a big country, and its huge size makes it difficult for foreign enemies to deal with it.

If the Ming wants to eat Russia, it is simply impossible. Between the Ming Dynasty and Russia, there is a distant Siberian ice field. There is no food to grow there, and the climate is cold and harsh.

The Ming people, who are accustomed to ease, will never want to live there. That kind of place, even if it's for nothing, you have to think twice.

In addition to this, Central Asia is now also the sphere of influence of the Russians. The marshal said that the Ming only wanted to occupy the entire Ili River Valley. For Central Asia, Li Xiao has no more ambitions.

The reason is that it can still be fought, but because it is too far away from the Ming Dynasty to exercise effective rule. In fact, there is already such a problem in the Ili River Valley now, and the Ming Dynasty has already felt powerless to rule a place as far away from the center.

Then there is only one way to deal with Russia, and that is to use European countries.

The newly joined dog-legged Ottoman Empire, in order to prove its loyalty, has been inextricably linked to Russia. The purpose of his coming to Europe was to organize a European coalition to strike at Russia.

Use the power of European countries to completely defeat Russia and dismember polar bears into many countries. Anyway, what Li Xiao means is that the smaller the country in this world, the better, like Belgium or Luxembourg in Western Europe, where a city is a country.

Dismembering the huge Russia and eliminating potential strategic competitors is the main purpose of this suppression of Russia.

"Big brother, I think. In fact, there is no need to make such a big move against Russia. Tagawa Nanazaemon said hesitantly when he saw that his eldest brother was talking about Russia.

"Oh! Do you have your own opinion? Tell me about it? Zheng Sen was very happy that this younger brother, who had been wooden since he was a child, had his own opinion. I want to see how much knowledge Tagawa Nanazaemon has gained in the past few years.

"European countries are not the same as our traditions! The Ming people preferred farming, and the countries affected by the Ming Dynasty, such as Korea, Wa, and Jiaozhi, all liked to farm and use the output of the land to support themselves.

But Europeans are different, their ancestors didn't farm. They love trade even more! In Egypt, I consulted a lot of information. Two or three thousand years ago, trade around the Mediterranean was very prosperous.

They liked trade for the simple reason that there were many parts of Europe where the land was so poor that it was difficult to grow food. They had to make money from trade to support themselves!

Although Russia has a vast land, they own Ukraine, which is known as the breadbasket of Europe. That's the birthplace of the Slavs!

If European countries need to trade to buy grain, then Russia is actually the main supplier of grain.

In recent years, Russia has supplied large quantities of grain to European countries every year. In exchange for money, which is used to support the industrial development of their country.

I heard about a horrible thing last winter. Because the grain was levied too harshly, it led to the great famine in Ukraine. More than a million Ukrainians starved to death, and even people cannibalism happened in Ukraine. ”

"No, it won't! The Russians have done such a desperate job, don't they know that without the people they will have no taxpayers in the future? Zheng Sen's eyes widened in surprise when he heard Tagawa Nanazaemon's words.

How much water does the Russian empress have to put in her brain to do such a thing?

Those who died, all of them were the ones who paid her taxes. Only when there are more and more such people will she become richer and richer. This is the idea of the development of the Ming Dynasty, so if the Ming people have children, the government will beat the gongs and drums to send rewards.

If there are many children in the family, the imperial court will also allocate money and food every month to provide for the family's expenses.

The most Li Xiao said is that everything is people-oriented!

Under this line of thinking, the population of Daming grew rapidly. The number of registered residents has already exceeded 200 million, and I am afraid that it will not be many years before it will be able to exceed 300 million.

Zheng Sen saw Li Xiao lose his temper more than once looking at the huge map, the Northwest Plain, the land of the Chinese nation's dragon prosperity, needs population. In the southwest, where Han Yi is mixed, Han people are also needed.

The vast Western Regions, which have just been conquered, still need people.

But Daming is just such a little bit of people, except for Shandong, the land everywhere seems to be very rich.

As a result, Shandong people became the main target of immigrants, and immigration officers walked the streets and alleys every day to encourage people to go out and wander. As long as you are willing to go, immediately bring a large stack of directions to the place.

The vast black soil of Northeast China is seriously short of people to cultivate. It is also the main immigration target of Shandong people!

The rest of the Northwest, the Western Regions, and the Great Southwest are not willing to go.

The imperial court had no choice but to encourage Jiangnan people to emigrate. But there are a few people who are willing to leave the beautiful Jiangnan and go to those places on the border to continue living.

The Ming Dynasty has attached great importance to the population to this extent, and Mao Russia is still harming its own people? Zheng Sen couldn't understand what the Russian Empress Catherine was thinking, no matter what.

"I had an idea to bring this to light. Let European countries unite to impose economic sanctions against Russia. That is, everyone unites not to do business with Russia.

Anyway, in recent years, Russia has bought things from European countries, and it has all focused on machinery and technology. This kind of thing is easy for governments to control. "Tagawa Nanazaemon's idea is very much in line with the thinking of the Japanese people today. That's a soldier who surrenders without a fight!

"The Art of War" has had a deep influence on the Japanese state, and Li Xiao has been intentionally or unintentionally keeping the Japanese away from war over the years. The collapse of the samurai class and the rise of a new wealthy class had a huge impact on the young people of the Japanese Kingdom.

Now the people of the Japanese no longer pay attention to the honor of the samurai, but are more envious of who has money. Even if you make a fortune by relying on the skin and meat business, it is not a shameful thing to be in the Japanese country.

The Japanese people now believe in non-contact with war. Trade wars, or economic blockades, have become the main means by which Japanese countries sanction other countries.

Zheng Sen was very interested in the new method introduced by Tagawa Nanazaemon.

Tanakawa Nanazaemon is right, as long as the Europeans unite to blockade Russia. Russia will definitely not be able to move an inch economically, after all, Russia has to rely on exports in exchange for the equipment, technology, and talent they need.

"You've been in the Middle East for a long time and know more about Europe than I do. If we cut off Russian exports, then from whom should the Europeans buy grain? After all, Zheng Sen has been staying in the Daming Jingshi all the year round, and he knows far less about Europe than Tagawa Nanazaemon.

"It's easy to do! Egypt has large areas of fertile land, and the Tigris and Euphrates rivers are also famous for their grain production. Further afield, there is India, not to mention that we have too much food to eat every year.

The corn that we feed our pigs, if it is shipped to Europe, is good business. Not to mention, on the other side of the Atlantic, the North American territories continue to encroach on the lands of the Indians.

They bought a large number of black slaves from Africa, grew grain and cotton on the estates, and engaged in rubber harvesting. In this way, the food problem is not a problem.

Do not think that without Ukraine, the whole of Europe will go hungry. There are many places to find food in the world.

We can also harvest some rice at a low price in Cochin, Siam, and Burma and sell it to European countries. ”

"But the taste of rice in those places is too bad, and the Ming people are used to feed pigs." Zheng Sen immediately vetoed Tagawa Nanazaemon's words. For those places, Zheng Sen can be regarded as a deep hate.

Those damn rice are eaten at the innermost level, not much different from eating wood residues.

"Europeans have rough mouths, they can eat almost anything. In this Madgarg Fort, there are still people who eat raw meat, believe it or not? It is estimated that in all of Europe, only the French are a little bit of a mouthful, and the rest are all like that. The further north you go, the more so. ”

This is the advantage of Tagawa Nanazaemon, because the economy of Northern Europe is not very developed due to the climate. The people who do business here all the year round are Japanese merchants. Ming merchants rarely set foot in such a place with thin profits.

Along the way, Yamadagawa Nanazaemon learned a lot about the Wakoku people who acted as tongue people, and he naturally knew better than Zheng Sen.
