When Li Xiao received the report about Australia, it was already autumn. According to the report, the behavior of the Marines was no different from that of the Japanese soldiers. But fortunately, the infrastructure was not burned. They just packed up the people and brought them back!

The Ministry of Finance likes the people sent back from Australia very much, because among these people, the surviving men are mostly tall and strong, and are very suitable for being sent to the mines to work as coolies. Many women are also tall and strong, and are deeply loved by the big families. The weak ones

The maids in the country can't do much physical work, and ordinary families can't raise eunuchs. These strong yellow-haired people just fill this gap. They are all women anyway, and they are not afraid of the backup being caught on fire.

Anyway, before these people were sent to Daming, they were all booked through various channels. All the people who bought it were high-end and big-name people!

Li Xiao knew that doing so was anti-human, but there was nothing he could do about it. The primitive accumulation of every empire was extremely smelly. In Marx's words, every pore was filled with filth.

As a rising empire, the Ming Dynasty is also not immune to conventions. Before machinery was effectively used in mines, strong coolies were always needed in the mines. Europeans chose landless farmers, and the famous sheep cannibalism is a vivid portrayal. America chose

Due to the evil slave trade, hundreds of millions of black slaves were packed and transported to the American continent.

The various hardships during transportation resulted in a very high mortality rate. So much so that there were sharks following behind every slave ship.

The advantageous civilization plunders the disadvantaged civilization not only from wealth, but also from people.

The wheel of history is so ruthless. Some people want to live a good life, while others have to endure suffering. This is a cruel necessity faced by human beings. Basically, there is no solution to this problem.

In the world that Li Xiao experienced, it was basically the 400-year history of the West running rampant in the world. Now that there is a chance to change, Li Xiao does not mind copying their strategies. As an ancient oriental civilization, Li Xiao feels that China has the ability to stand on its own

The top of the world's nations. Although the feet are covered with dry bones, the scenery on the top of the mountain is still dazzling.

Those places that advertise democracy and freedom are full of dry bones at their feet.

"The country's ban on salt and iron has been lifted. People from the Salt Gang and Caobang can be sent to Australia. There is a foundation laid by the British there, and many houses and farmland are ready. They should go there soon.

adapt."

"It has been handed over. According to the news from below, many people are willing to go there after hearing about that place. The treatment given by the government is very good. Each person has fifty acres of land, according to the hair of the person. Whether they plant it themselves or leave it uncultivated.

No one cares about them, and there will be no taxes for five years. The court will also distribute farm tools to them, and the treatment is generally quite generous."

"Yeah!" Li Xiao nodded, Ai Husheng always puts people at ease when doing things.

"Oh! Distribute weapons to them. If the demobilized soldiers are willing to go, their benefits can be doubled. We must organize a militia and equip them with weapons that have been eliminated by our army, such as revolvers and pistols. That place is too far away.

, if something happens, they must be able to protect themselves. The tragedy cannot be spread back to the country, and we will organize people to take revenge. The cucumbers and vegetables are already cold!"

"This matter needs the cooperation of the Ministry of War."

"You go find Mr. Zhang. He is now the chief of the Ministry of War. Overseas immigrants must adhere to the policy of armed immigration. We are not here to help the natives. We are here to rule them. Force is absolutely indispensable. First, we must make them afraid of us.

, so that they can respect us."

"No! I will make it clear to Mr. Zhang and those from the Yancao Gang what you mean."

"The prospecting team must set out as soon as possible and recruit manpower from various steel plants at the same time. Machinery and equipment must also be reserved! As soon as a mine is found, a factory will be built next to the mine. Once the personnel are hired, the subsidies will be generous.

In addition, we will work with the Ministry of Industry to survey some places suitable for building ports. In that place, we need many seaports. Large ones! This way we can berth large ships, send machinery and equipment there, and send various supplies back to Daming.

The Ming Dynasty needs development, but as you know, the Ming Dynasty is short of copper, iron, and many metal elements. We don’t have these things in the Ming Dynasty, so we can only look overseas. Mr. Sun said that I am a bandit and I go out to rob them if I don’t have them at home.

But tell me, the Ming Dynasty has developed to this day. It needs a huge amount of supplies every day. How can I fix it if I don’t send people out to grab it?" Li Xiao spread his hands, there was nothing he could do about it. If he still wanted to develop if he didn’t have enough supplies, he could only leave.

Loot a road.

"God is unfair. China has not given us many good things. In fact, what we lack most is not these metals, but oil. Recently, an oil field was discovered in Yumen, but I heard that the reserves are not very high."

"It doesn't matter if it's high or not, we'll take it out first. Build an oil refinery on the spot to provide fuel for the airship. Next year when the railway to Hami is built, I will continue to march. I hope this time, we can fight all the way to the Ili Valley.

The Ili River Valley is lush with water and grass, and there is a lot of land suitable for farming. Not only can you nomadic, but you can also cultivate farmland. Station a team of troops there and arm immigrants to farm. We can occupy the entire western region north of the Tianshan Mountains! As for the Tianshan Mountains

At Nanlu, they will send people to surrender to us. When will the Uyghurs be able to fight well?"

"There is no problem with large-scale farming, but the problem now is people. The population of the Ming Dynasty is still insufficient! According to the Ministry of Household Statistics, last year because of the Uighurs in Guanzhong causing trouble, the annual population growth was only more than two million! Commander, you have conquered such a large territory.

, but it would be in vain if no one can occupy it.

We still have to learn from the lessons of the Tang Dynasty."

"Yes! The water flows through the quicksand. We can't just leave some traces in the Western Region. We must truly establish a foothold in the Western Region! Therefore, I set our western territory in the Ili River Valley. As long as we reach the foothold of the Ili River Valley, we will not

Continue to advance 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 the territory was too large.

Thinking about how glorious the Tang Dynasty was back then, the Four Towns of Anxi were established. Its territory far exceeded the ruling capacity of the population of the Tang Dynasty at that time. As a result, when the Tang Dynasty fell apart, the Four Towns of Anxi also became history. The Han people there

The end was extremely tragic and he became a victim of the expansion of the Han nation.

History cannot repeat itself, and tragedy cannot repeat itself. When it comes to territorial issues, Li Xiao knows restraint. When the population of the Ming Dynasty explodes to the point where it cannot be accommodated, it will not be too late to expand outward. Anyway, the time window is on the side of the Ming Dynasty. Today’s initiative

, also on the Ming side.

Li Xiao believed that the time window was on the side of the Ming Dynasty, but Galdan did not think so. The Ming Dynasty's army had successfully occupied Hami, and Galdan had no intention of snatching this gateway to the Western Regions.

After so many years of urban offensive and defensive wars with the Ming Dynasty, only the one in Lanzhou was successful. That time, there were Tibetans as internal agents. But now, all the Mongolians in Hami City have been killed or captured. How can they

The mother-in-law is here to answer!

Lost Xingxing Gorge, lost Hami City. The entire Western Region is like a naked beauty lying on the bed, waiting for the arrival of the Ming Dynasty. The Ili River Valley is rich in water and grass, and is a rare treasure land in the Western Regions. However, the treasure land cannot keep the Jungar Mongolia

If you want to survive, you can only go westward. Squeeze those weaker nations, just like the old proverb of the Han people.

Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimps!

Shrimp...!

Galdan believed that he had not fallen to the level of Xiami. His eyes fell on the Uzbeks, the descendants of the wolf and the white deer, the descendants of the great Genghis Khan. How could they be Xiami? The decadent Bukhara Khanate

You are the only one. If Ming Dynasty wants to eat me, then I will eat you.

Since winter, Galdan began to actively prepare for the attack on the Bukhara Khanate. When September came, the grassland, grass, eagles, flying soldiers and horses were strong. Galdan began his fierce journey!

Facts have proved that as long as they are not facing a violent opponent like the Ming Dynasty, the Mongolian cavalry is still extremely powerful!

During the Battle of Zeraf, 30,000 Mongolian cavalry under Galdan easily tore through the Uzbek defense line. When the Uzbeks gathered a large number of troops to prepare for a counterattack, overwhelming rockets fell from the sky.

The dense Uzbek military formation was instantly engulfed by gunpowder smoke, leaving only broken limbs and broken arms on the ground after the gunpowder smoke cleared.

Times have changed. The Mongolian cavalry are no longer holding bows and arrows, but extremely powerful rifles. Behind them are no longer cumbersome craftsman battalions, but incredibly powerful rockets.

The Uzbeks were completely confused. They did not understand what new weapons the Mongols used. So much so that the armed confrontation turned into a one-sided massacre!

Since the battle of Zelav, the battle schedule has become a march schedule. Wherever the Mongolian cavalry went, there was basically no resistance. All cities closed their gates, and residents closed their courtyards and houses.

They thought that in this way, they could resist the powerful Mongolian cavalry. After all, in the era of Genghis Khan, the Mongolian cavalry only attacked important cities. In some small cities, the Mongolian cavalry did not bother to capture them at all.

The wind-like knight held the huge explosive bag with all his strength, urging his strong horses to gallop to the city gate at night. If he dropped the lit explosive bag, the heavy city gate would be blown away like two pieces of paper.

When the defenders on the city were in chaos amidst the explosions, the thunderous sound of the Mongolian cavalry's hooves came from far to near. The bumpy horses, the Mongolian cavalry's marksmanship were still very accurate. The Uzbek soldiers on the city wall, as long as they dared to show their heads, they would

Will be greeted politely by Bullet.

One city after another was captured, and the Uzbeks were extremely afraid of the Mongols. Legends of the Mongols' brutality spread everywhere, and Genghis Khan's bloodbath of Samarkand was mentioned again. This is the capital of the Bukhara Khanate.

The people inside all listened with trepidation to the news that the Mongols were getting closer and closer.

Anyone with a little bit of ability would escape from Samarkand with their families and property. It doesn’t matter where you go, just stay away from the Mongols. God knows how those cruel Mongols will treat the residents of the city.

"Great Emir, I suggest you move to Bukhara as soon as possible and actively negotiate with the Mongols. Anyway, the Mongols just want to grab some things. They will not hold on until they leave!" said Mu, the leader of Manjit.

Hala, said miserably to the emir. His army suffered the heaviest losses in the Battle of Zeraf, and now he just wants to stay as far away from the Mongols as possible.

"You old guy, you are scared out of your wits by the Mongols. The Uzbeks will never surrender like the Mongols. Great Emir, you should know what happened when Genghis Khan conquered Samarkand hundreds of years ago. Can you bear it?

Were the lives of thousands of Muslims taken away by the Mongolians who were as ferocious as jackals?”

"****Stop talking nice, where were you during the Battle of Zeraf? The warriors of our tribe shed their blood for the empire, where were your people at that time?" Muhalla was furious, during the Battle of Zeraf

, he was actually a second-line troop. Because the **** army was defeated very quickly, he was brutally attacked by the Mongols.

"Didn't the warriors of our tribe bleed? It's because your people are so vulnerable that the Mongols are so arrogant." **** responded immediately.

"Okay! Alright!" Seeing that Muhalla was about to fight back, Emir quickly stopped this meaningless quarrel.

Although the Uzbeks have established a unified dynasty, the leaders of each tribe still have great power. They usually fight each other to get the maximum benefit for their respective tribes. Now that the Mongolian soldiers like wolves have invaded, they are still entangled for the interests of each tribe.

endlessly!

Samarkand is the sphere of influence of the Communist Party, so of course he will stick to it. And Muhalla's sphere of influence is in Bukhara, so of course he is willing to evacuate people to Bukhara. As long as the negotiations with the Mongols are successful, he will

You can keep your own territory. As for the life and death of ****, Muhalla doesn't care.

"At this point, we really can't fight anymore. Not only are the Mongols' horses as fast as lightning, but more importantly, their weapons are much better than ours. With our weapons, fighting them will mean death. I suggest peace talks! Agree.

All the demands of the Mongols!" Mustafa, another important minister, also stood up.

As soon as he spoke, the court hall that had just been silent became lively again. The courtiers kept arguing. Some people were so angry that they rolled up their sleeves and were about to fight. Fortunately, their weapons were taken away before going to the hall. Otherwise, they would have been in court.

A fight is also very possible.

"Enough! Enough!" Emir looked at his men and was very angry.

"Durkheim, go talk to the Mongols and see what demands they will make." After the anger, the Emir made a wise choice. After all, he also knew that today's Uzbekistan is no match for the Mongols.
