Chapter 392: Sui State Chapter: A Hub Country with Wings Waving
The special train of the Zhu Youyu brothers was supposed to pass through Tashkent.
However, the Tashkent section of the road is under repair and is temporarily closed.
The special train passed through the middle of the Caspian Sea and the Aral Sea, passing through Turkmenistan and arriving in Iraq first.
The trade between Yi and Sui to obtain the desert territory on the eastern shore of the Caspian Sea is equivalent to saying that Yi and Xu divided Turkmenistan equally.
This land is extremely water-scarce and useless except for a piece of land.
During the war to destroy the khanate, the allied forces of the vassal states drove the indigenous people to this side, resulting in the complete destruction of the already thin vegetation and the complete depletion of water resources.
In the end, mass graves were formed, and the Wei State completely occupied this place.
It has only been planted in the past two years to start planting, but it is already difficult to curb the desertification of the grassland.
The Wei State gave this rotten land to the Sui State.
The Sui State was resold to the Yi State.
Iraq is not broken.
The train enters the border of Iraq.
Before the Ming envoys came, the railways between Yi and Wei were not connected, and the railways were not covered within 20 kilometers of the border between the two countries.
The two countries are fenced with barbed wire, and people from both countries have to go through formal procedures before they can go to another country.
There are few people in Iraq, so we can't let them run.
The control of the household registration in Iraq is the strictest among all the feudal states.
In fact, Iraq is not poor, and thieves have thieves. It is a lack of water, a serious shortage of water, they use the ancient method to get water, and they are reluctant to waste a drop of precipitation.
Not only is there a shortage of water, but also poor resources, there are no resources under this desert, there is no oil and iron, not to mention gold and silver mines, there is nothing.
He asked his father dozens of times to change the domain, but the land in the world has a master, how can he change the domain?
Instead, his father gave him a large sum of money to support him in setting up an industry.
But this is a land with extreme water shortage, and the industries at this stage are all labor-intensive, so what can the desert use to feed tens of thousands of large factories?
A drinking water problem can kill the Yi court.
Therefore, don't think about running a business, you can only find another way.
In order to maintain the average income level of the people in Iraq, the court of Iraq sends money to the people, but this money is not something that the court of Iraq can print, so it has to find a way to make money.
Zhu saw that Chu had a lot of ideas, so he started an extreme entertainment industry.
The people of Yi are poor, the people of Sui are rich, the people of the Ming Dynasty are rich, and the people of the five kings of India are rich, but their country has strict laws.
Let's put it this way, what is written in the law is what the surname of the capable person wants.
Iraq began to engage in an extreme entertainment industry, with everything, and everything was spending.
Known as the kingdom of heaven in the desert.
This kind of entertainment concept is really not what Zhu Jianchu thinks of himself, but the small feudal states of the clan do it.
Those feudal states sealed on small islands are not self-sufficient in food, and there is no other way to go but to die poor by stupid work.
can only go to extremes, and develop this extreme entertainment industry, as far as they have studied.
They have all the things that are strictly prohibited in the Ming law.
If it's not exciting, why do the rich people of other countries travel thousands of miles to come to you to consume?
Normally, the feudal state and the Ming Dynasty use a unified Ming law, and what the Ming Dynasty prohibits, the vassal state must also prohibit.
There are always exceptions.
Like the small island countries dotted on the ocean, if they don't let them specialize, they can't survive, and the Ming Dynasty and the vassal countries do not strictly prohibit immigration, why should the people suffer from you? No matter how bad it is, it's time for the people to flee back to Daming.
Besides, where there is demand, there is a market, and where there is a market, there is money.
If the Ming Dynasty doesn't do it, the Great Domain doesn't do it, the market is there, and someone must do it for money.
This thing is the weakness of the surname, the more restrictive the person is, the more curious, the more curious he is, the more eager he is.
But in Confucian education, these are forbidden.
That's where the island paradise comes in.
Zhu Jianchu knows that his country of Iraq, if he wants to prosper, he has to go to extremes, otherwise where will the money come from to protect the environment? Where did the money come from to give money to the people?
can only engage in the entertainment industry.
The Ming Dynasty is so strict in its domestic control, and it has to be managed for shit and fart, and the laws of big feudal states like Wei, Shang, Sui, Tang, Xia, Chu, and Wu are just as strict.
A highly civilized society should naturally reflect vitality, prosperity, and positive energy.
In the territory of Daming, these are strictly prohibited, the law is extremely strict, so strict, and there are grading, there are very few things that teenagers can see, in order to take care of the healthy development of teenagers, the whole society is not allowed to appear these.
In fact, the Ming people are very accustomed to it, and the feelings of the Ming people are always restrained and restrained, and those things are extremely suppressed, which is something that thousands of years of etiquette and religion have engraved in the bones.
The center is strictly restricted, and the government and the opposition are all supportive, and even some love stories are among the restrictions, or the emperor has lifted the ban.
Love is something that is difficult for the Ming people to say.
Not to mention anything else.
However, there will always be bad elements.
Some people are just restless, they just like to wander in the gray area, especially those who are rich, the so-called pursuit of freedom, in fact, the pursuit of degenerate.
Degradation is not allowed at home, so they go abroad and secretly go to the fall.
This feeds the country of Iraq.
There are 2 million people in Yiguo, who do not engage in planting or enterprises, and rely on imports for everything, but they have become a superior person, with an average salary of about 1,700 yuan, which is higher than that of Wei.
In the past ten years, there has been a net inflow of population in Iraq, especially the Ming women, and 300,000 women have flowed into Iraq in the past ten years.
What are they doing here? Just think about it.
And this, doesn't the imperial court know?
Of course I do.
Even managed it, Jingtai fifty-three years, the center issued an edict to require immigrants to show the reason for immigration.
What's the use of the result?
The imperial court can't control people leaving at all!
The imperial court can only strictly enforce its own laws and prohibit its own citizens from engaging in illegal activities, can it stop the hearts of the people?
Some people are unwilling to work hard to make money, some people worship those who can see their profession, and some people are willing to do these immoral things.
Some people say that it may be forced by life.
Not.
Since the fifty-fifth year of Jingtai, almost all people have been covered, extremely poor, and it is impossible to get rich and rich, but it is no problem to eat a bite of food.
In the 64th year of Jingtai, the minimum standard of the Ming subsistence allowance is 15 yuan per month, and the maximum subsistence allowance is 30 yuan.
This kind of subsistence allowance is only applicable to the severely disabled, poor elderly with no children and no daughters, and those who are unable to work.
Don't look at the lack of money, there will definitely be enough food to eat.
When the subsistence allowance policy was first implemented, the center was planning to send rice, in fact, the Hongwu Dynasty had a subsistence allowance policy, and the subsistence allowance policy was sent to rice, and the subsistence allowance policy lasted for a hundred years in the Ming Dynasty.
After two years of rice, because of the reaction of low-income households, the local grain depot was full of private pockets, and all the rice was moldy, which was shoddy and could not be eaten at all.
Later, the money was changed.
Money also rises and falls every year, and as the price of food rises, it also falls with the price of grain.
As for the general poor, local officials are responsible for helping to find a job, as long as they have hands and feet, they can earn dozens of yuan a day by going out and standing on a big post.
Therefore, in the territory of Daming, there are no real poor people, and there are almost no people who are starving to death.
Then those who engage in these professions are not because they are poor, but simply because they are willing, simply because they are lazy.
In the 60th year of Jingtai, there is an article among the people that this is an era of laughing at poverty and not laughing at prosperity.
The emperor also personally came down and demanded that the people's customs be rectified, and the simple folk customs should be restored, but the people regarded this as a fart.
It's all about money, who looks at morality and immorality.
Iraq's entertainment industry has endured.
The largest entertainment city is built in Chakhbahar, a curved bay full of artistic high-rises, but it is engaged in shady business.
In Iraq, high-ranking officials from various countries are about to run into each other.
Moths from all over the world like to come here to consume.
As a result, it has contributed to the desert pearl of Iraq.
There is only one capital city of Iraq, on the shore of the Caspian Sea, the port of Tolkaman, renamed Yindu.
This is also the reason why Yi must get the territory of Wei, the northern country has no depth, and now that this land is obtained, the country is considered stable.
It is also a rare oasis in Iraq, and it is also one of the few planting bases in Iraq, and the grain of Iraq is basically produced here.
King Yi was very generous to his two eldest nephews, and took out the best things in Yi to entertain his two eldest nephews.
King Yi was eager to receive water from the Ural River.
He didn't care if the Caspian Sea would disappear or not.
Like the Aral Sea, after receiving the water injection of the Zhonghua River, the water body has become significantly larger, and the water body has doubled on the original basis.
However, in the 57th year of Jingtai, the Wei State diverted the Zhonghua River and flowed into the farmland, causing the Aral Sea to return to its original state after expanding.
But the Syr Darya does not flow into Turkmenistan, but flows north into the Kazakh steppe.
Causing the savannah to become a swamp.
This project almost didn't kill the Wei state.
The king of Wei killed the engineer who proposed this project, killed many people, and had to change the Syr Darya River back to its original course, which cost money, effort and labor.
In fact, Wei was not short of water at all.
But if Wei wanted to turn the grasslands into arable land, this huge project, irrigation must require a lot of fresh water resources.
The Aral Sea, on the other hand, is formed by the alluvial deposits of the Syr Darya and Amu Darya rivers.
The volume of the Amu Darya River has been reduced a lot due to the diversion of the Zhonghua River, and now the Aral Sea is mainly fed by the Syr Darya River.
The Zhonghua River connects the Syr Darya River and is mainly used to irrigate the Ferghana Basin.
The Zhonghua River connects the Syr Darya, Amu Darya and Ili rivers, and has become the main source of water for the three major rivers in Central Asia.
In the sixty-second year of Jingtai, the Wei State started construction again, allowing the Syr River to flow into the grassland and irrigate the grassland.
Now, Iraq has obtained the western half of Turkmenistan's territory and is able to use the water of the Amu Darya River, but after the Amu Darya River was intercepted by the Zhonghua River, the water body has decreased significantly.
Sustaining the water supply of the people along the coast is already the limit.
It is difficult to extend further westward.
The problem is that this is a desert, and even if the Amu Darya River is diverted and does not merge into the Aral Sea, it will not be possible to pass through this desert.
If the Amu Darya River can be extended, the water problem of Yindu, the capital of Iraq, will be solved.
As for whether the Aral Sea will disappear, this is not in Iraq's consideration.
The Aral Sea is the inland lake of the Wei State, and everyone occupies it.
After the end of this land exchange, the north bank of the Amu Darya River was all Wei State, and the north of the Aral Sea was all Wei territory.
The land area of Wei is more than five million!
If Wei's land exchange plan is successful, Wei will not only be the hegemon of Central Asia, but one of the hegemons of the world.
Yi didn't dare to think of any overlord, he wanted to get the water injection of the Amu Darya.
These major river systems in Wei are the Irtysh River, the Ob River, the Amu Darya, the Syr Darya, and the Ural River.
The Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers flow into the Aral Sea.
The Ural River flows into the Caspian Sea.
The Ob and Irtysh rivers enter the Arctic Ocean.
It's all big rivers, and all of them belong to the Wei State.
If the Amu Darya River does not flow into the Aral Sea and the Irtysh, Ob and Ural rivers flow south, the drought problem in Central Asia will be alleviated.
King Yi knows that his weight is low, he is an entertainer, he is a drama, who cares about the idea of a drama.
Daddy must be consulted about this.
The reason why his father is so good is because the source of the Amu Darya, Syr Darya, and Irtysh rivers is in the territory of Daming, and the Ob River is shared by the two countries.
The Ural River was shared by Shang and Wei.
As long as you get your father, Daming will be able to make a decision.
Therefore, King Yi was extremely good to his two nephews.
Zhu Youyu's mouth was tight, but he didn't spit out.
The country of Yi is really miserable, King Yi has planted trees for more than 20 years, but he still can't stop the desertification of the land, this land has been damaged too seriously, and the root cause is still a serious lack of water.
Sufficient water is needed to solve the problem of severe drought in Iraq once and for all.
Fortunately, Zhu Jianchu is a chronic son, he does things slowly, he can endure it, and he can wait.
Zhu Youjin is smarter, he still wants to talk to Uncle Wei Wang, how can a poor country open his mouth to the overlord, this thing has to be saved.
After all, Zhu Jianchu has been an emperor for so many years.
I have long seen the perfunctory attitude of these two bastards, and I can only sigh in my heart.
He received a systematic imperial education since he was a child, read sage books, and now survives on entertainment, which is somewhat of a good sing.
He really wants to live an upright life, but the reality doesn't give him a chance.
I can only turn my grief into strength and continue to plant trees.
The Wei State used water to hold the countries hostage, and Zhu Jianchu didn't know it, but a desert country had no ability to fight, and once there was a war, the trees he had worked so hard for more than 30 years would be destroyed.
If you don't want war, you have to negotiate.
Zhu Jianchu has thought about it, in the future war in Central Asia, Iraq will be absolutely neutral and be a neutral mediator, after all, what qualifications does an entertainer have to participate in the war?
Sometimes he laughs at himself, a dignified son, living a play, what face does he have to see his ancestors and ancestors?
After staying in Iraq for a few days, the Zhu Youyu brothers set off for Sui.
The countries of Iraq and Sui, there is no railway connection between the two countries.
The nearest place to the railway between the two countries is only three kilometers, and it has not been repaired.
Zhu Youyu didn't go to the entertainment city to experience this trip, he was disappointed, and he still had something to do.
The Sui State is also tragic, and it is completely located on the plateau.
This plateau stretches for 2,000 kilometers between 900 and 1,500 meters above sea level, and is blocked by mountains, forming many basins inside the plateau, and also blocking water vapor from the ocean, resulting in serious desertification within the plateau.
This piece of land was gnawed down by the Ming army at that time, and 300,000 people were killed and wounded.
The reason why the Safavid Dynasty was able to break away from the Timurid Empire and remain immortal was because of its terrifying geographical advantage.
In that war, Li Zhen, Ou Xin, Liu Ning and other famous generals, all countries participated in the war, with a total strength of more than one million, and in the later period, Han Yong, Xiang Zhong, and Li Bing personally took command before they gnawed down this plateau.
It's still the old Mongol way.
It's a diagonal plateau with a very complex topography that can get lost without a local guide.
The Mongols chose a gap in the mountains northeast of the Caspian Sea, called Khorasan, as a passage for their attack, and finally attacked the plateau from the city of Mashhad.
The Ming army used the same tactics, forming a large army of the same Mongols and Afghans, recklessly occupying, losing 300,000 in battle, and losing countless losses, before taking the entire plateau.
Ou Xin died of illness on the journey, and a few days after the victory, Li Zhen also died here, Li Bing contracted a serious illness, and his death at the age of seventy was closely related to this serious illness.
For the clean-up of this plateau, the number of people lost is as high as 410,000, and the site is completely cleared, but the clean-up is not clean.
Many Persians have become Sui and Yi.
There's no way to clean it all up, just get rid of the diehards, and then do the bloodline purification, little by little.
Within the Sui State, there were about 7 million Persian immigrants.
The national policy of the Sui State was that the same clan was not allowed to intermarry, and Han Bo was forced to intermarry.
In recent years, talents who look completely Persian have gradually disappeared in the Sui Kingdom.
And those old Persians hated the Ming people very much, because the Ming people were invaders and invaded their homeland.
Akito also doesn't like these guys who look different.
After the Sui Dynasty succeeded the vassal, he also carried out a cultural clean-up and burned all Persian scripts.
If the old emperor hadn't stopped it, I'm afraid that Persian culture would have been extinct.
But these things were all shipped to the Ming Dynasty and became part of Han culture.
People are not allowed to speak languages other than Chinese, and it is a great sin to say so.
In order to force sinicization, the Great Sui had a population of 40 million, and actually recruited 7 million troops, all of which were scattered throughout the plateau, and every small mountain pass was guarded.
Non-Han Chinese are not allowed to possess sharp weapons.
This non-Han Chinese are those Persians who have not been naturalized, and there are always some diehards in this world, and they are the most singable and weeping characters of a nation.
At the critical juncture of a nation, there will always be people who come forward and shed their blood for this nation, and this kind of hero is not only in China, but also in all ethnic groups in the world.
But his hero, my enemy.
The Ming people hated these people very much, and even the Sinicized Persians hated these restless people.
The Sinicized Persians also lived well in the Sui State.
Persians like to do business, Sui is located in the middle of the Eurasian continent, just assume the status of the East and West trade hub, and is located in the three seas, the Caspian Sea, the Black Sea, the Persian Gulf, the geographical position is superior, the free trade port of the Sui State, is the world's largest trade port.
In order to smoothly sinicize the Persians, the Sui State encouraged the Persians to do business and encourage the Persians to naturalize.
National hatred and family hatred can also be smoothed down with time.
Because the Sui State's grasp of the entire plateau was very tight, the pier system in the Ming army was applied to the extreme here.
In the past, there were also Ottomans who came to help the Persians restore their country.
With the Second Min-Austrian War, the Ming ended in victory, causing the Ottoman forces to move away from the plateau.
In recent years, groups of Persians who have gone deep into the mountains have come out of the mountains and are willing to obey.
After all, they had just been enslaved by the Mongols.
Now that it has been replaced by Han Chinese, it is acceptable to be enslaved.
It's just that the Han people are more ruthless than the Mongols, the Mongols are asking for money, and the Han people are desperate.
This is also the reason why the Persians rebelled violently.
If the Ming people are willing to live in peace, they will also be obedient, but the Ming people are ruthless, they want living space, not people.
As of the sixty-fourth year of Jingtai, the total population of the Sui State was 42 million, and the Han people were 37 million.
A man can't marry a Han woman, and no Han woman will marry them.
Because I don't dare.
Ming girls are all fragrant and sweet in the world, how can anyone take risks to marry foreigners, in case foreigners rebel, the whole family has to eat and hang.
As a result, a large number of Persian men were forced to marry foreign women, and the children they gave birth to were not of Ming nationality, so they became black households.
There are a lot of black households in the Sui Kingdom.
However, the black households of the Sui State did not live well, the Sui State lacked water, and the geographical environment created land desertification, and the grain production area was at the southern foot of the Greater Caucasus Mountains, and the traditional Persians were forced to enter the Zagros Mountains to survive.
What can be grown in the plateau mountain range?
The grain of the Great Sui is basically supplied by the Eastern European Plain, and the main population lives in the plains of the southern foothills of the Greater Caucasus Mountains.
In order to prevent desertification, the Sui Dynasty banned the cultivation of grain in non-grain-producing areas, and designated many areas as protected areas.
It would be better if the black households came out to rebel, and they were worried that they would not find you.
The poor mountains and bad waters come out of the Diao people, and the climate and environment of this plateau are harsh, and all the people are Diao, but that is an ancient war.
In contemporary warfare, soldiers have become consumables, and the essence is a war of ordnance.
No matter how powerful a person is, can he be more powerful than a cannon?
The Sui State has 700,000 artillery and 2 million standing cannons, and is known as the country of 10,000 artillery.
If there is no war, how many cannons will be fired, let alone dare to come out and rebel?
The black family can only survive in the mountains.
I can't get enough to eat.
To buy food, you have to look at your ID card, where do black households get their ID cards, the key is that they look different from the Ming people, and it's useless to borrow ID cards.
In the Sui State, grain was a big problem, so there were soldiers standing guard in the grain stores, and the control of grain was extremely strict, which caused the automatic attrition of black households in the mountains.
As for secretly planting grain, the mountain patrol team is equipped with guns, and when they patrol for a few days, they don't say that they are killed, but they say that they have cut the seeds planted, and they will starve to death.
According to estimates, there were about 5 million black households in the Sui State.
The geographical environment determines that this terrain can never be cleaned, just like Laos and Cambodia, which cannot be cleaned at all.
At that time, there was also the world's most powerful clean-up army.
The Japanese army is cleaning up, which is the best in the world.
In terms of ferocity and brutality, there is no national soldier in the world who can compare, and the emperor is willing to invest a huge amount of money, just like that, about 5% of the population of Southeast Asia is still cleaned up.
When this plateau was cleaned up, there were very few Japanese troops, and they couldn't use Ming people, and the Afghans didn't contribute to the work, grabbed things and rushed up, and killed people and retreated.
But it can't stand the long-term occupation of the Ming Dynasty, and one day, the remaining people will either be assimilated or disappear completely.
The Sui State was eventually settled in Yerevan and renamed Daxing.
The Sui State was a natural hegemon, and from a strategic point of view, the territory was perfect, and the whole country was located on a plateau, all of which were easy to defend and difficult to attack.
And the capital, built at the southern foot of the Greater Caucasus Mountains, sandwiched between the Alborz Mountains and the Greater Caucasus Mountains, and in the middle of the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea, is definitely the place of choice.
Normally, the entire territory of Yi and Sui is located in the middle of five mountains, which is absolutely easy to defend and difficult to attack.
But the Sui and Yi countries are separated, and both countries also have a natural choice.
The problem is that the country of Yi is all desert and barren land, and it is absolutely impossible to become an opponent of the Sui State.
After the Sui State got rid of the desert of the Yi State, it immediately became the overlord of West Asia.
Historically, this plateau has only been conquered by the Mongols once, and no country has ever ruled this plateau.
The Sui State is different from the traditional countries established by the Persians, the Persians are very confident, self-confident to the point of conceit, they are different from the Ming people, the Ming people are humble and studious, which causes the Ming people to be prone to inferiority, while the Persians are extremely confident, and even conceited.
It is precisely because it is the Sui State that rules this region that it is the humble Ming people that the Ming people are the best at guarding.
So this area will never be conquered.
The Safavid Khanate was conquered by the Ming army, because of arrogance, they never thought that the Ming would use the tactics of the Mongols hundreds of years ago, or the same place, and the Safavid Khanate fell into history again.
And the Sui state, after the defeat of the Ottoman Empire.
He also got a large piece of territory on the shore of the Black Sea, which was basically swallowed as much as he could, and almost reached the Ordu region, which was to cut the peninsula of Asia Minor according to the continental territory, and the protruding territory of the Sui State was not wanted, and all the territory on the continental shelf belonged to the Great Sui.
The Ottoman Empire was so arrogant, also because the mainland peninsula of Asia Minor could not be attacked at all, and it was all covered by plateaus.
But the Ming had the experience of attacking the plateau, more than once, which led to the victory of the Second Ottoman War.
The territory of the Sui State expanded in the direction of the Black Sea, and it was even more appropriate to build the capital here.
The capitals are left and right, like two wings, waving their wings.
But the problem is also huge, originally several mountains are natural barriers, this time the territory extends to the west, it needs a large number of garrisons, and the cost of garrisoning increases.
At the same time, the Ottomans were mixed in, and the national question arose.
The Sui State did not tire of it.
The people also hated being attacked by outsiders, so they were reluctant to move west.
The king of Sui could only move the people by building a railway.
Zhu Jianxi, the king of Sui, entertained his two eldest nephews.
Obviously, the attitude is different from that of King Yi, who is more or less respectful to his two eldest nephews.
And Zhu Jianxi, the king of Sui, is an uncle to a nephew.
In particular, the King of Liao, who will border the Sui State in the future, is an opponent.
The Liao State is to the west of Ordu.
Ordu, which happened to be on the root of the peninsula of Asia Minor, was completely stretched out and assigned to the Liao State and Korea, and in the inland area, it belonged entirely to the Sui State.
After the dinner, the king of Sui and the king of Liao officially exchanged letters of state and demarcated the territory.
If the Sui State wants to dominate the world, it must meet the demand for food, and the territory of the Sui State is only about 1.5 million, which cannot be compared with the Wei State at all.
However, the Wei state did not have access to the sea.
The Sui State is seeking an outlet to the sea in the Mediterranean, and it stands to reason that the Sui State should get an outlet to the Mediterranean Sea with a cut from Ordu.
But the access to the sea was taken away by Weiguo, who did not lack access to the Mediterranean Sea, but did not allow the Sui State to have it, but this is still being discussed, and the Sui State is confident that it will take the access to the sea.
Even if there is no outlet to the Mediterranean Sea, the Sui State has an outlet to the Persian Gulf.
The Sui State was short of food and water.
On the issue of water shortage, as long as the Volga and Ural rivers fill the Sui State with water, the Sui State will not be short of water.
In fact, the Sui State was discussing with the Wei State to intercept the Euphrates and Tigris rivers, and irrigate the plateau in reverse like the Zhonghua River.
In order to threaten the defense of the country, the Sui state must get access to the Mediterranean Sea.
Sooner or later, Wei Guo will be relieved, Zhu Jianxi is sure.
When the Volga River goes south, it will drill through the Greater Caucasus Mountains, which will allow warm currents from the ocean to enter the East European Plain and improve the cold climate of the East European Plain.
In the same way, it will also make the temperature drop in Sui and the climate become pleasant.
But the merchant country had no intention of diverting the Volga River.
Obviously, the Shang State does not want a new hegemon to appear in Eastern Europe, and the Shang State must not only be the hegemon of Eastern Europe, but also the second hegemon outside the Ming Dynasty on the Eurasian continent.
The Shang state was currently taking over the territory of the Cossack Khanate, and had not yet entered the stage of hegemony.
But the battle for supremacy is getting closer.
Although the Sui State is short of water, it is not as serious as the Iraqi State, as long as enough trees are planted, the problem of water shortage can be alleviated to a certain extent.
When it comes to the food problem, Wei gave the best answer.
Where there is no soil, soil is created.
If there is no geography, geography is created.
An endless prairie can be transformed into a big farm, what can't we do in this mountainous area?
Isn't Gangnam also a mountainous area? Hasn't it also become the richest area in Daming?
In terms of farming, Ming people are professionals.
Yi spent money to redeem a large piece of land, giving enough benefits to the Sui State, and the Sui State also planned to buy a large amount of guano.
A large amount of frozen soil was also purchased from Wei and manually stirred to turn it into fertile soil.
There are many mountains, then blow up the mountains and turn them into flat land, fill in the soil, artificial plains, what's not to do?
If the Sui State wants to be hegemonic, it can't take the ordinary road.
The Zhu Youyu brothers took the train of the Sui Kingdom, and it was exciting to play, and the railway of the Sui Kingdom was built on the mountain, and it was extremely difficult to build.
But the Sui State had a very complete railway network.
The economy of the Sui State, based on animal husbandry and transportation, especially the transportation industry, is the economic pillar of the Sui State, and it is also one of the best in the world, and it is known as the sea coachman.
If the Sui State had access to the Mediterranean Sea, it would become a country that straddled the Mediterranean, the Black Sea, the Caspian Sea, and the Persian Gulf.
It has become a hub for trade between East and West.
The cargo ships of the Sui State are the third most numerous among the vassal states, the first is the Xia State, the second is the Chu State, and the third is the Sui State.
The Sui State also has the freest trading island in the world, known as the Free Port.
There is also mining, manufacturing.
The oil of the Sui State is the bulk of the exports, mainly exported to European countries such as Chu and Xu, and the Ming Dynasty also imports oil from the Sui State.
There is also a manufacturing industry, which is a heavily polluting enterprise transferred from Daming.
The Sui State, with a population of more than 40 million, has a fiscal income of about 30 million, and it is not easy for a country that cannot be self-sufficient in grain but has not taken the evil road to development.
In the past two years, the Sui State has been creating artificial plains.
Some mountains were flattened and turned into plains, mainly near the capital, to level the land for food supplies in Daxing City.
It's also experimenting.
On the train, the narrator told the Zhu Youyu brothers what the Sui court had been doing in recent years.
These mountains, which were ruled by the Mongols for many years, were overgrazed, causing severe desertification of the land.
The Great Sui is rectifying desertification, planting trees every year to protect the water and soil, and the entire Sui country is visibly green.
When the special train stopped, Zhu Youyu saw some small merchants and vendors getting on the bus to sell goods, and he had never seen the small goods in their hands.
He asked people to buy a few and asked the docent.
The narrator said that this is something of Persian culture, because the Sui State did not allow the spread of foreign cultures, so these things were just secretly sold.
"Uncle Wang doesn't care?" Zhu Youyu played with the small toy, frowning.
"I can't control it, these people are hiding in the mountains, and there will be no shadow of them when our people send them, and they are all poor people."
The narrator didn't dare to hide it: "In the past few years, car pipes were allowed to be equipped with guns, but then there were many incidents of manslaughter, and this policy was stopped. ”
"The court didn't kill them all, but just let them come out, force them to be sinicized, and enter the Ming Dynasty."
"These people who can come out to sell small goods must speak Chinese, and if they don't dare to speak local Chinese, they will be killed."
"So,This is also a form of sinicization."
The problem of black households in the Sui State can only be solved by time.
After a few decades or hundreds of years, there may no longer be a distinction between Han and Bo.
Zhu Youyu and Zhu Youjin couldn't help but think of their successor domain, which was also on a plateau, where tens of millions of Ottomans also lived.
It's impossible to clean it up completely.
South Korea and Liaoguo will be like this in the future, and the problem of black households cannot be solved.
They boarded ships in the Gulf of Aden and crossed the country of Iraq to the country of Xu.
As we all know, Xu Wang Zhu Jianzhe is also a restless person who also wants to dominate West Asia.
But his turf is too bad.
A large desert with only a small oasis in West India, and a small oasis north of Kutch Bay.
And the royal capital of the state of Xu was also built here, in Hyderabad, renamed Jiangdu.
Kutch Bay is not a good place, it is a large desert area, and the river is sandwiched between many deserts, so it can be regarded as an oasis, a good land in the rotten land.
Xu occupies the whole territory of Pakistan, a small part of Afghanistan, plus half of Turkmenistan, and the land is very mixed.
In this part of Afghanistan, the Ming Dynasty occupies a piece, the Wei State occupies a piece, and the Ning State occupies a piece.
Four companies share profits.
In the entire Pamir Plateau, the Ming Dynasty occupies a large part, and the Hindu Kush Mountains occupy a small part of the Ming Dynasty.
The Pamirs, like the Uszchen Plateau, have no practical use, and are only strategic fortresses.
The reason why the Ming Dynasty occupies so much is that the vassal states do not want it.
The old emperor really didn't want these rotten lands, as long as he occupied a few mountain passes, it would be enough.
But the vassal kingdom doesn't.
At that time, it was very difficult to clean up, and because of the severe grazing in these places, the climate was seriously damaged, and it was difficult to clean up, difficult to manage, and even more difficult to manage.
This is far from the heart of the Empire, and it is difficult for the tentacles of the Empire to govern here.
The Pamirs became a breeding ground for crime in the Ming Empire.
It also borders many vassal states, resulting in a high incidence of crime in this area, and the annual governance and management expenses are more than the financial revenue of Iraq.
That's why the vassal states don't want it.
A piece of worthless rotten land, but it has to pay huge management costs, and in the hands of the vassal state, it will either be automatically given up or nominally governed.
Daming is different, Daming is really directly under the central government.
Originally, the old emperor wanted to set up a Pamir province, but the imperial court thought that there was no need to set up a province, so it set up a general to govern it, and the Pamir General's Office to govern it.
In the 60th year of Jingtai, it was included in Ferghana Province and became the 54th province of the Ming Dynasty.
As for where the border is, it has not yet been determined.
Daming is sent everywhere.
Whoever is willing to take the plate can take it, and send it away.
The vassal state kept retreating, not at all, and even let it go, the Ming Dynasty occupied the Pamir Plateau, and the national border was still advancing towards the Hindu Kush Mountains.
It's another big piece of.
It's a huge challenge to manage.
There are still wild people living in it, you can believe it, it's all in this era, and there are still wild people, not only but many of them.
Originally, it was difficult for the Ming Dynasty to govern the Western Regions.
In addition to the Pamir Plateau and the Hindu Kush Mountains, the difficulty of governance has increased tenfold, and the Pamir General's Mansion is all confused, and the station is moving out year by year, and now, it has been moved to Ishkashim.
This terrain is similar to that of the Sui Kingdom, all of which are plateaus, and the land is seriously desertified.
Where is the expansion of the land in the Ming Dynasty, it is completely farming and working, or burning money to work.
Every year, tens of millions of dollars are invested in these desert lands, all of which are planted trees.
Da Ming originally owned the entire Wu Si Zhen.
Much larger than later maps.
Coupled with the Pamir Plateau and the eastern part of the Hindu Kush Mountains, the territory looks large, but there is no use for Mao.
In the sixty-second year of Jingtai, the Ming Dynasty counted the poverty-stricken areas, and the Pamir region was on the list, ranking in the top five, Pamir, Hindu Kush, Qinghai, and Usz.
One is poorer than the other.
The court can't ignore it yet, and has to pay for it.
The key is that some people who are not of Chinese Miao descent came in to enjoy the benefits of the Ming Dynasty, which made the people very dissatisfied.
These people have nothing to do with Huaxia at all.
Even if you look for history, let's stick a little relationship, no matter how you find it, it doesn't matter at all.
You have to come in and enjoy the best perks.
Daming's subsistence allowance is used by this person.
The old emperor thought, the rotten land is occupied, let's occupy Kabul, and this is a pearl in the Hindu Kush Mountains.
As a result, Xu Guo quit! Wei is gone! Ning Guo is not doing it anymore!
Before that, the three countries almost did it because of Kabul.
How could it be possible to let Da Ming pick peaches.
Oh, the feelings are good, you rob it, and all the rotten land belongs to Daming.
The old emperor was so angry at that time.
There are also Dushanbe and Tashkent, in the fifty-ninth year of Jingtai, the Ming Dynasty asked Wei for Dushanbe and Tashkent, but Wei refused.
King Wei cried vigorously, saying that the country was poor.
The old emperor was so angry that he vomited blood, and said directly, if you don't give the Pamir Plateau to you, King Wei will not speak directly.
Anyway, he refused to return Dushanbe and Tashkent to the Ming Dynasty.
These two cities were established by the Ming Dynasty.
This white-eyed wolf.
All the rotten land belongs to Daming, and I haven't eaten a single piece of good meat.
Just like the Hengduan Mountains, the rotten land is in Daming, and the good places were snatched away by Annan, and the Red River Plain is the essence of the Hengduan Mountains, but it was not in Daming.
The Ming Dynasty occupied it, and Annan was restored.
It's just that the old emperor didn't care.
If the crown prince ascends the throne, he will definitely turn his face against Wei and fight a battle with Wei.
Should I say it or not, Wei Guo's appearance is really ugly.
When the Ming Dynasty cleans up the Pamir Plateau and then governs it successfully, these vassal states will definitely lick their faces and ask the Ming for it.
It's not that they don't want the land, but they don't want to rot the land, and when the construction is done, everyone is greedy and wants it.
But when the time comes, it will not be the old emperor who will be in charge, and if they want it again, they will have to fight.
