As the actual controller of northern Annan, Zheng Fan, and the puppet emperor Li Weiyu were captured by the Ming Dynasty, the scattered indigenous resistance forces in the area gradually learned of the matter.
Under the fierce attack of the coalition forces, they had no choice but to be killed and turned into manure, or to surrender and go to settle in the north.
Zhu Cixi also specifically approved that as long as the indigenous people who voluntarily surrender can enjoy the treatment of settling in Xianbelia for 166 years, they can then go to settle in the pass.
A certain emperor wanted to use these Annan natives to develop Xianbelia. When the wasteland turned into fields, he would throw them into the pass and do whatever he wanted.
After being captured, the natives who are unwilling to surrender can happily work as miners.
Even if you don't want to mine, if you give him a few whips, he will be happy...
Assume that the equivalent productivity of the indigenous people sent to the mining area from Annan is only one million slave miners. Each person can create a net profit of fifty silver coins per year, and the total is also fifty million silver coins.
Taking into account the investment in the early stage of the battle and the subsequent resettlement of the people, Emperor Haojing planned to invest a total of about 500 million silver coins in the "pop" of Annan and North this time.
Calculated according to the mining income, it should take ten years to recover the cost.
If you want a certain emperor to lose money in a war, unless the other party commits suicide after a sneak attack on the Ming Dynasty king's army...
If we really can’t find a working-age workforce, even if we are seventy or eighty years old, we will still have to go mining for a certain emperor to apologize!
Zhu Cixiang has never been afraid of running out of food to feed slave miners. At present, the Ming Empire has too much food to eat.
Since there is no shortage of food in Northland, Eastland, Southland, Zheng Zhilong's Westland, and even the territories of his three younger brothers, they have completely achieved self-sufficiency while still having a large amount of surplus food.
This directly led to the annual increase in the amount of grain for the imperial court every year. Before the grain reserves from the previous year were used up, hundreds of millions of dan came in this autumn, and this did not include the summer grain revenue...
Even though the officials and the army were all eating and drinking, they did not go to the extent of sleeping after eating and then eating after sleeping.
Before the stored grain completely deteriorates, it can only be used to make wine on a large scale.
The imperial court also encouraged the common people to plant corn, which was easy to grow and could be stored for a long time.
In addition, Zhu Cixi also ordered a severe crackdown on counterfeit and shoddy wine dealers.
If these people dare to take risks, they are openly opposing the imperial court.
Once the market is disturbed by them, the sales of liquor will be affected. Is my food not going to be unsaleable?
After traveling around the world before, a certain emperor discovered that the Southland, Eastland, Luzon Islands and other places not only had no shortage of food, but were also interested in exporting it to the mainland!
Under the current circumstances, this is simply a terrifying ghost story, no different from treason!
Under the guidance of a certain emperor, the local area has begun to export liquor on a large scale.
Trains filled with liquor are transported to the Northland every week, and various semi-finished products of wood and metal are transported back on the return journey.
Because it is a high-alcohol spirit with high quality, the Ottoman Empire also likes to exchange refined oil for Ming Dynasty liquor.
Although there is no real winter in the Middle East and North Africa, it snows in Asia Minor and the Balkans in the Ottoman territory.
After getting used to this strong taste, Dabaijiu has become a necessity to maintain the Austrian army's winter combat effectiveness.
In addition, wealthy oil tyrants will also import large quantities of military rations such as compressed biscuits and instant noodles because the prices are much cheaper than what they produce themselves and they do not require spending cash.
The Ottoman Empire holds most of the world's oil reserves so far. His Majesty the Sultan considers it extremely cost-effective to buy goods that can be exchanged for oil or refined oil.
In the Ottoman territory, only a few places such as the Mesopotamia, the Nile River Basin, the Asia Minor Peninsula, the Balkan Peninsula, Hungary, and Wallachia produced grain.
In other places, except for sand and mountains, there is either only oil or no oil at all.
In this case, it became a wise move to import grain from the Ming Empire at a price lower than the international market.
Moreover, it is a barter trade, and one does not need to pay the other party in cash, which is really a great deal.
Emperor Haojing has always been very generous to his reliable old friends.
Although the price of grain exported by the Ming Empire followed the international market, it generally gave great discounts to bulk importers, such as Osman.
Not only can everything be bartered, but it can also be at least 20% lower than the market price, including derivatives such as biscuits and instant noodles!
Precisely because of this reliable source of food, Ibrahim was able to use low food prices to maintain the empire's control over some remote areas.
As the local people eat cheap flatbread, they can no longer speak ill of His Majesty the Sultan, and those who secretly cause trouble are unable to obtain cheap food.
In Emperor Hao Jing's global strategy, the Ottoman Empire was an important barrier that restricted the expansion of European countries into the Middle East.
As long as the empire existed, those countries to the west of the Ottoman Empire could not advance eastward.
The existence of the Ottomans also helped the Ming Dynasty continue to obtain cheap oil.
After the empire fell apart, Ming had to renegotiate the contract with a bunch of scumbags.
If he went into battle himself, the cost of the war would be much higher than pushing Ping An's north and south.
Whether the battlefield is placed in the Middle East or next to Guangxi is directly linked to cost.
Zhu Cixiang estimated that the bulldozing of the Middle Eastern natives would cost no less than four to five billion silver coins.
In the early stage, I could take advantage of it, but in the later stage, I had to be mentally tortured by the various rebellions in various places...
This is equivalent to giving away all the wealth saved over the years, which is very uneconomical.
Allowing Osman to continue to hold on can be said to kill two birds with one stone, and Ming Dynasty can take advantage of the situation to expand its lead until it overtakes the opponents behind it.
Nowadays, the grain produced in the mainland of Ming Dynasty and the Northland plus the Luzon Islands, apart from wine making, is enough to support itself and half of the Ottoman Empire.
Therefore, even if there are as many as 100 million slave miners working in the country, Zhu Cihong is not worried at all because there is enough food.
Most slave miners do not mine all their lives. As long as they are diligent and willing to work, they can usually be released and become ordinary people within ten years.
The land vacated in the pass was handed over to these people to continue planting, and even the houses were ready-made. This gave the slaves a head start and no longer deliberately resisted.
Those slaves who have women and children will be obedient and even willing to stay in the mines for a lifetime after reaching the standard.
All the grassland mining areas are open-pit mines, and there is no chance of mine collapse. If you want to mine safely, just pay attention to the passing vehicles.
According to reports from the mines, the Annamite natives who arrived to work there were even less efficient than black people...
Zhu Cixi could only let the mine make do with these gadgets, he couldn't just send them all to the circus, right?
The natives are not in a hurry, and Zhu Cixiang is definitely not in a hurry.
You will dig slowly, and when the output reaches the target, you will be released.
If you are lazy and slippery, you will be whipped and you will have to work as free labor in the mines for the rest of your life.
This can only mean one thing, that is, the IQ of monkeys is lower than that of black people!
Any guy with a brain will work obediently and strive to get rid of his status as a slave miner as soon as possible.
If this is the case, the destruction of the monkey group in the mine is a good result~!
As long as you are willing to die, there are plenty of places to bury you in the Gobi Desert!
Regarding the Annan War, the Neo-Inca Empire and the Ottoman Empire, two countries with irreconcilable relations with the Ming Dynasty, expressed surprisingly unanimous opinions.
That is, first of all, he severely condemned Annan's despicable act of invading the Ming Empire, secondly, he firmly supported the coalition forces to counterattack Annan, and finally, he believed that the Ming Empire, which symbolized justice and light, would definitely win!
The two countries also had a surprisingly tacit understanding. After figuring out the poor relationship between Annan and the Ming Empire, they did not establish ambassadorial-level diplomatic relations with Annan at all.
Even after learning that a war broke out between the Ming Empire and Annan, the ambassadors of both countries expressed their willingness to directly send troops to help the Ming Empire...
While expressing his gratitude, Zhu Cixi politely declined the other party's kindness. His own ruthlessness and a large number of Japanese troops were enough to cleanse the white-eyed wolf's den.
In addition to the Incas and Ottomans, the ambassadors to the Ming Empire from countries friendly to the Ming Empire in the world expressed their indignation. In interviews, they strongly criticized Annan's wolfish ambitions.
After receiving the relevant telegram, King Karl XI immediately expressed his willingness to dispatch three brigades and take the Northern Line train to assist in the battle to thank Zhu Cihong for his previous kindness.
Later, William III and Louis XIV also held the same view. The former was willing to dispatch three brigades. Although the latter was trapped in the local war, he also expressed that he could send the French navy to block the Annan coast.
As for the two small partners in East Asia-Kimchi and Japan, the former sent its navy to participate in the war, and the latter directly dispatched 200,000 mercenaries.
The Kimchi Navy only had one fourth-level cruiser and one third-level cruiser, both of which were cheap second-hand goods purchased from the Ming Dynasty.
Faced with the pickle messenger's request, Zhu Cixi could only agree. This was obviously a waste of experience points and free supplies!
Kimchi's army is not without combat effectiveness, but it is not inferior to the Japanese army.
Without the help of the Ming army, these things were bulldozed by Toyotomi Hideyoshi's Japanese army more than a hundred years ago...
In Emperor Haojing's strategic territory, there were only four countries in the Eastern world.
Apart from the Ming Dynasty and India, there are only Kimchi, Japan and Siam.
Therefore, the original sect-vassal system could not be rebuilt, because the previous pile of scraps had been crushed into slag by the Ming Empire!
Zhu Cixiang didn't expect a group of third brothers to pay tribute to him such as flying cakes, curry, and Ganges water. He should keep these five-star delicacies for themselves!
If the eighteenth level of hell were filled with all kinds of things, such as foot-picking, spitting, nose-picking, third brother who didn't take a bath for a long time and was extremely hungry and thirsty, then the scene would probably be such that even the evil ghosts wouldn't dare to look at it, right?
In view of this, Zhu Cixiang never let his surroundings mention this extremely strange place unless necessary, otherwise he would instinctively feel nauseated...
I don’t want to see you, and you don’t come to pay tribute!
To sum it up in one sentence - don't come over!
A certain emperor would rather have Annan than India!
After controlling more than 70% to 80% of northern Annan, the Yimin plan began to be implemented.
Give priority to the people of Guangxi and Yunnan, as the same saying goes - move here to the local owners for both power and blessing!
After all, there is still a plain in the north of Annan. If there is no large-scale flood, it will be no problem to have five crops every two years.
Like the Northland, after repeated raids by the coalition forces, the area became a no-man's land, and people who moved there could feel free to settle down.
For safety reasons, troops were stationed near the settlements, and the first few batches of immigrants were given priority to military dependents of veterans.
As long as these people are willing to go there, they can form a military force in the settlement to protect their own safety.
Guangxi originally had very little arable land, so it finally got the chance to move to the neighboring northern Annan.
The climate on both sides is similar, and the land is more fertile than my hometown, so I got it for free.
Of course, many people are willing to go there and try their skills. Reading in the newspapers, it is said that there are no examples of failure in the Ming Dynasty.
Because the distance is very close, the Ministry of Household Affairs plans to move more than one million yuan to the north of Annan every year.
Those economically backward counties in Guangxi and Yunnan will basically be abolished, and then the people and officials will move to the opposite side.
The people involved don't need to miss their hometown. As long as they can live better in the past than here and make the whole family worry-free about food and clothing, then it will be considered a waste of time.
Those people of the Ming Dynasty who had been harmed by Zheng Fan's troops actively signed up and were very willing to move there. If they could find the surviving Annan natives, they would kill them directly.
The rebels and Zheng Fan's remnants in Guangxi have been wiped out by the counterattacking Ming army. Previously, a dragnet search was conducted on every household in every village in every county.
If anyone is found harboring an enemy, regardless of their identity, the whole family will be arrested and taken directly to Beidu for trial.
Some of the people who supported the rebels did not expect that their side would be defeated so quickly, just like a landslide.
The wolf-like and tiger-like officers and soldiers were just like chopping melons and vegetables, and they cleared away hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in trouble.
In fact, in the face of powerful air force and armored forces, an enemy without anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons is just a bunch of rabble.
Because they have no field combat capabilities at all, they can only fight ambushes and guerrillas like the Annan Army.
But with helicopters, this tactic no longer works.
The rebels in Guangxi suffered the same fate as Zheng Fan's main force. No matter how hard they struggled, they could not escape the dragnet set by Wanli.
The result is that there are hundreds of thousands more slave miners in the northern mines. As for the seriously injured rebels, there is no need to treat them...
There is no need to waste precious medicines for those who are injured and infected. If you had known about this, why bother in the first place?
If you have the ability and courage to rebel, why not go overseas and contract 10,000 acres of wasteland in no-man’s land?
Go to Brazil to plant 10,000 acres of land, and become a super landowner!
Well now, the super big landowners have become useless people who don’t want to die!
Those rebels who wantonly massacred people, and even after being injured and captured, they shamelessly asked for medical treatment.
Zhu Cixiang had never agreed to such an unreasonable and arrogant request in his entire life!
If the other party knows where a certain treasure is hidden, it may have some value.
If you don't know anything about it, it will hurt you to death.
If Zhu Cixiang is in a good mood, he can give them some salt...
The Ming Dynasty had more grain and more salt!
In addition to eating salt, you can also sprinkle it on wounds!
