Chapter 412: Attack on India
This summer, the corn has also matured.&1t;/p>
Due to the increase in the scale of breeding in northern provinces, the corn planting area has also increased significantly. Many agricultural companies use corn as feed to plant it. The corn yield this year is not too high. This thing was introduced to the Ming Dynasty during the Jiajing period. The planting area in the Ming Dynasty was already very large, and it has it almost all provinces.&1t;/p>
After harvesting the corn in the experimental field, the yield per mu reached 630 kilograms, and the output was once again against the sky, although it was half the maximum yield in later generations.&1t;/p>
The progress of agricultural technology has given Zhu Youxiao a confidence to develop industry on a large scale. These new agricultural technologies have begun to enter the popularization stage in full swing.&1t;/p>
Railway construction workers have exceeded one million in the summer of the 12th year of the Apocalypse, and the number of workers involved in the construction has increased online at a scale of 200,000 to 300,000 each month.&1t;/p>
In order to build these railways, a lot of manpower and material resources were drawn. A large number of railway tracks and sleepers were transported to the construction site. After the workers laid the roadbed, they laid the sleepers and rails on it.&1t;/p>
The entire railway trunk line was quickly built.&1t;/p>
Before the autumn harvest, the railway could be built to Heilongjiang, Northeast China, and the grain harvested in the summer in Liaodong has already started to be transported to the capital by railway.&1t;/p>
The railway to Zhangjiakou is about to be completed. The construction difficulty of this section of railway is the largest among the railway lines currently being built. However, under the power of new explosives, it successfully defeated the natural terrain and built the railway to Zhangjiakou.&1t;/p>
The railway leading to Zhangjiakou will also be built on the Ming-Tong District of the grassland. As long as the railway is built, it will be the territory that the Ming Dynasty can firmly control.&1t;/p>
Even if the Mongolians in the Ming Dynasty wanted to rebel, they would not have a chance. Over the past few years, the Mongolians in the Ming Dynasty had a good life, and they had worked hard and gained something. The Mongolians were willing to live such a small life, so the court naturally was happy to see it.&1t;/p>
The grassland can be stable and can produce grassland economic raw materials. The grassland will not be over-opened and degraded. As long as these points can be guaranteed, it will be successful. If they want to rebel, the court can quickly transfer troops through railways to suppress them at any time. Moreover, these Mongolian herders have their own grasslands and yurts, cattle and sheep, and their brains are kicked by donkeys before they rebel.&1t;/p>
Snow disasters are still a major problem on the grasslands, but with railways, it is easier for the imperial court to rescue disasters. Railways can operate in the snow unless the snow is too heavy.&1t;/p>
As for whether the Mongols occupy the grassland, this is not important. The Mongols were destined to be a nation that would be a so-called "sausage" in the future. As long as they were included in the rule of the Ming Dynasty, they would not be able to split.&1t;/p>
This railway to the grassland will also be an important transportation line for Zhu Youxiaodong's war against Mongolia.&1t;/p>
The railway trunk line to the Western Regions is probably not allowed to be completed after the spring of the 13th year of the Tianqi period. This progress has already made Zhu Youxiao very satisfied.&1t;/p>
The railway trunk line in the pass is very fast, because there is no shortage of workers in the pass, the railway trunk line has been paved in the summer of the 12th year of the Apocalypse, and it is connected to Beijing.&1t;/p>
The next step is to continue to connect these railways to form a dense railway network. In this era without cars, if the transportation efficiency on the ground is improved, then only railways can be relied on.&1t;/p>
The branch railway survey and construction activities are underway. The railway has brought great benefits to factory owners and farmers, and the most benefited is the factory owners, which means that their goods can be sold to a further market.&1t;/p>
A large number of railway construction activities have made the northern economy not that cold in the 12th year of the Apocalypse, but the economy has indeed begun to cool down and cool down, and the impetuous social atmosphere has begun to slowly settle down.&1t;/p>
In contrast, the economies of southern provinces have become even more depressed, and a large number of people have begun to choose to immigrate or go to local new policy areas to make a living.&1t;/p>
The metallurgy industry is almost completely destroyed, and in the textile industry, the private textile industry is basically destroyed. However, in the 12th year of the Apocalypse, the first state-owned textile factory was built in the Songjiang Prefecture area, and then the state-owned textile factory began to be built quickly in Songjiang Prefecture.&1t;/p>
Although the southern provinces have not begun reforms, the state-owned capital consortium has begun to transfer light industry to some areas in the south.&1t;/p>
First, the southern provinces are more suitable for developing light industry. At the same time, as state-owned enterprises influx of goods into the southern market, they also have the confidence to transfer the industry to the south.&1t;/p>
Some female textile workers have returned to work, but textile factories cannot provide too many jobs. Before the radical reform, the imperial court would not have launched large-scale construction in southern provinces. If the money is spent, it will be easily entangled by those big capital businessmen, and the chain of capital circulation is easily broken.&1t;/p>
The factory shifts southward, but it still cannot change the depression of the southern market.&1t;/p>
Especially in areas with densely populated areas in the Yangtze River Basin, the rural natural economy began to collapse on a large scale under the impact of commercial economy.&1t;/p>
However, the development of internal markets is not for the purpose of plunder. Those farmers and workers who are going bankrupt can still immigrate through channels such as the Civil Affairs Bureau.&1t;/p>
In foreign trade, the trade situation on the Indochina Peninsula has basically stabilized. Annan's defeat greatly shocked Siam (Thailand). At the request of the Ming Dynasty, Siam has further opened up the commodity market and capital investment. At the same time, Siam and Myanmar have officially signed a sovereign agreement with the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>
In the past, Daqing was actually the suzerain states of Siam and Myanmar, but there were no clear provisions. It was just the relationship between tribute and reward, specific obligations, responsibilities, and how to do business.&1t;/p>
After the signing of this agreement on the Sect Master, Siam and Myanmar had to open up commodity markets and capital investment under the hegemony of the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>
The merchants of the Ming Dynasty could go to the Indochina Peninsula to do business without any obstacles, and the goods could also be sold to various parts of the Indochina Peninsula through the business and indigenous comprador model, and acquired raw materials and specialties from all over the Indochina Peninsula.&1t;/p>
The state-owned capital consortium of the Ming Dynasty has directly begun to invest in the Indochina Peninsula. The commercial grain here has become increasingly important to the Ming Dynasty. Especially after the reform, the land enclosure movement is very high, and a large number of farmers have left the land to invest in industrial construction, requiring more external grain input.&1t;/p>
As for the southern provinces of the Ming Dynasty, the scale of raw material planting was even larger at this time. This is the only industry in the southern provinces that has not been impacted. On the contrary, due to the industrial development, sales have been better than before.&1t;/p>
As long as it is cotton, there is no need to worry about not being able to sell it. As long as it is raw silk, there is no need to worry about selling it. The demand for local market continues to expand, and the demand for silk in overseas markets also expands with the increase in the scale of overseas trade. Only the sugar-pressing industry has suffered a major blow. The price of sugar in Taiwan and Nanyang is lower than that in traditional local areas, the market price is lower, and the quality is better, and it is very popular in the market.&1t;/p>
In the whole of East Asia, only the Ming Dynasty has a commercial sugar industry. These commercial sugars are exported to the Indochina Peninsula, North Korea, Japan, Mongolia, Africa, the Middle East, India.&1t;/p>
India has its own sugar industry, but the price is higher than that of the Ming Dynasty. However, the Ming Dynasty did not export these sugars to India and other countries, because it opened faster overseas. The maritime transportation is a bit less, and local commodities have grown a lot with the development of the industrial revolution.&1t;/p>
Trade with India was not very smooth, especially after the Ming Dynasty's textile exports to India expanded in the 12th year of the Apocalypse, India simply banned the import of Ming Dynasty textiles, but India did not ban the export of raw materials. At the same time, in terms of luxury goods, Indian princes and nobles were willing to buy them.&1t;/p>
Trade between the two sides is still beneficial to the Ming Dynasty. It is exchanged for high-value-added goods to low-value-added industrial raw materials, but it is difficult for bulk commodities to impact the Indian market in large quantities.&1t;/p>
The same is true for trade with the Middle Eastern people, but the Middle Eastern people are not too rich these days. Africans are even more productive. The Ming Dynasty merchant ships trade in these places, basically just one fleet a year. The scale of trade is not very large, especially for trade with the Africans, which is to exchange for some natural resources.&1t;/p>
The Ming Dynasty has not yet begun any overseas colonization in the Middle East and South Africa, but colonization activities began in the 12th year of the Apocalypse.&1t;/p>
The target of this colonial activity is South Africa. Zhu Youxiao knew that there were a lot of gold and diamonds there. Diamonds were not so popular in the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty was not influenced by Western culture this year. Although there is a certain market for diamonds, it is not as necessary, so the price is not that high.&1t;/p>
However, diamonds have industrial uses. This resource is also very important.&1t;/p>
Of course, gold is more important. The Ming Dynasty occupied this place first. In the future, gold can be mined on a large scale. South Africa's gold reserves are the richest in the world, and it is richer than South America occupied by the current duck. At that time, with enough gold, the Ming Dynasty can directly play the gold standard.&1t;/p>
Of course, gold mining is to mine gold, and the plan to rule India has never been abandoned by Zhu Youxiao. Even the Mongols could rule India, but could the Ming Dynasty be Mao?&1t;/p>
The Jinyiwei has begun to follow the business to operate in India, collecting various political and military intelligence in India, and has begun to selectively contact some local Tumen families.&1t;/p>
For those local states, as long as the Ming Dynasty gives them confidence in victory, what will they do to turn against each other in the last battle for the sake of their interests? Anyway, they will only change to a central government at that time. They are local local tyrants and still enjoy the interests of ruling.&1t;/p>
As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's enemy, the Indians are relatively unfamiliar with the Ming Dynasty, especially the merchant ships that go to India to trade are all state-owned merchant fleets of the Ming Dynasty. They will not disclose too much information about the Ming Dynasty to India, but the Ming Dynasty's business has opened to coastal cities in India to trade with the Indians.&1t;/p>
In the 11th year of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youxiao’s strategic goal to open up the Indian market has been delivered to Gao Bangzuo, the commander of the Nanyang Military Region.&1t;/p>
Zhu Youxiao's decision was to first open up the Indian market and bleed India to control the scale of the war. After almost the blood of India was fully released, further wars were launched against the Mughal dynasty.&1t;/p>
After receiving the order, Gao Bangzo simply made a request to India to expand the scale of trade, but naturally he was rejected by the Mughal dynasty in India.&1t;/p>
After being rejected, the news was already the summer of the 12th year of the Apocalypse. The Hanoi War had just ended, Gao Bangzo drew out the machine guns of the Ming army in Hanoi and asked for one million machine gun bullets from the local area. Then he sent more than 10,000 soldiers. Under the escort of twelve battleships, he entered the Yokohe River Basin and boarded 6, then attacked the cities and villages along the Ganges and attacked the Mughal dynasty.&1t;/p>
The Ming army was extremely well-equipped, and the local troops along the way were defeated.&1t;/p>
Every time the Ming army captured a city, it only robbed Indian official property, but it did not violate the ordinary Indians, and it was even more unsupported to rape women and arson. So much so that those cities occupied by the Ming army basically had no resistance.&1t;/p>
The place where the Ming army landed 6 was Bangladesh in later generations. This was the estuary of the Ganges River Basin. The Ganges River flowed through one-quarter of India's territory and was also the main basin for the current trade with India. It is suitable for ship navigation. The Ming Dynasty's goods can be sold from the Ganges River to many places in India.&1t;/p>
In this era, as the Mongols ruled India, Middle Eastern religions were brought into it, so India was in a state of religious harmony. The conflict between Hinduism and religion was relatively serious, but it was not divided into three countries like later generations.&1t;/p>
India at this time was even larger than India in later generations.&1t;/p>
The Ming army suddenly occupied the lower reaches of the Ganges in India and defeated several national states, causing a huge shock to the Mughal dynasty.&1t;/p>
The Mughal Dynasty was in its heyday and its military strength was still good. In order to cope with the invasion of the Ming army, the Mughal Dynasty immediately assembled its army and directly pulled out an army of more than 300,000 people, and rushed towards the estuary of the lower reaches of the Ganges.&1t;/p>
At this time, the Ming army was raiding their homes.&1t;/p>
After defeating the Tumen in Bangladesh later generations, they directly confiscated these Tumen's thousand-year-old families, and the harvest was extremely rich.&1t;/p>
India in this era has not been colonized yet. India is also an agricultural country. Its goods are exported for a long time, and gold, silver and jewelry are constantly flowing into India, and it is concentrated in the hands of these Tumen families. It is too ineffective to rob the Indian people, and rob the Tumen families is truly rich.&1t;/p>
After all, the money in the hands of Indian people can be obtained through commodity trade, so the money in the hands of these local countries is not so easy to get.&1t;/p>
After the war started, because he occupied a considerable territory, Gao Bangzuo transferred 20,000 6 naval teams from Nanyang to land in India to control the occupied areas, and personally went to India for inspection.&1t;/p>
After arriving in India, Gao Bangzo saw the extremely unfair Indian caste system. The Indian people living at the bottom of society were extremely difficult and miserable, and the whole society was filled with red and fruitful oppression and slavery. &1t;/p>
Then Gao Bangzuo threw away the shame of playing the invader and directly submitted a memorial to Zhu Youxiao, proposing a thought similar to "liberating the Indian people".&1t;/p>
For Gao Bangzuo, this idea is a bit sincere. As a Confucian literati, seeing that there is such an unfair social system in this world, and those who enjoy this system dividend were actually a group of Indian national nobles with no humanistic connotations and humane feelings. It would be better to let the Ming Dynasty rule this country and eliminate the extremely unfair class oppression of India.&1t;/p>
When the telegram arrived in the capital and the memorial was delivered to Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youxiao clapped and shouted.&1t;/p>
How to forget the weapon of human rights? India’s biggest weakness is its lack of humanitarianism and full of class oppression!&1t;/p>
As long as you hold up this banner and restrain military discipline, the Ming Dynasty will not be called invasion of India, but liberate the Indian people.&1t;/p>
In this way, wouldn’t it be famous for your master?&1t;/p>
