In the second year of the empire, the empire launched a bloody purge in the South China Sea, known in history as the Second South China Sea War. This purge, except for the indigenous people in the plantations, the indigenous people in the South China Sea were almost extinct.

At the same time, the empire and Myanmar had a dirty trick. Three Reading Battalions attacked Myanmar, which was known in history as the Second Myanmar War. This war completely reduced the Burmese king to a puppet, and Myanmar was incorporated into the imperial colony.

At the same time, the Khmer was conquered by the Reading Camp stationed in Jiaozhi this year, and Siam was forced to open up trade. The entire Central Peninsula had been infiltrated by the empire, either becoming a colony or a place of commodity dumping.

This year, the trade volume between the empire and India increased greatly. The Indian Ocean fleet drove Europeans out of the Indian Ocean this year and stipulated that trade would be carried out in South Africa's Cape of Good Hope.

Western countries were forced to withdraw from the Indian Ocean due to the power of the imperial navy, but European countries saw the empire's intention to expand and were actively forming alliances.

The expansion speed of the empire has caused panic among European countries. If the imperial navy continues to expand like this, the entire ocean will have no business, and may even threaten their local security.

India is a country with more arable land than China, with a flat terrain, very convenient transportation and rich raw materials.

The Empire's interests in India grew rapidly, India's spice trade had been monopolized by the Empire, and India also became an important place for dumping goods, and the Empire's cheap Japanese products began to pour into India.

The Empire's overseas trade was much more than that. In January of that year, the Empire formed a huge ocean-going caravan with hundreds of large flying scissors.

Under the escort of the Indian Ocean Fleet, this ocean-going fleet carried out trade all the way and arrived at the European Mediterranean Trade Zone in June.

The Mediterranean Trade Zone is a place that brings together all kinds of luxury goods, including silk, cotton, pearls, spices, ivory, gems, dyes and other things from China and India. At the same time, there are porcelain, tea, sugar, and there are as many as 380,000 pieces of porcelain shipped to Europe in the first year of the empire.

After these commodities are assembled in the Mediterranean Trade Zone, they will be transported to ports such as Constantinople, Cairo, and Alexandria.

There were not many items in poor Western Europe that could be transported to the East, only a small amount of woolen, and it was also the ruling class of black slaves and white slaves to the Islamic state. Venetian merchants were active slave traders. These were not enough to compensate for the value of goods from the East, and the West could only pay precious metals such as gold and silver.

However, the arrival of the Imperial Caravan gave Venetian human traffickers a new sales channel, and the Imperial was happy to buy white slaves and black slaves.

After the empire bought white slaves and black slaves, the handsome white slaves would be sent to the base in Hainan. And those ugly ones, as well as those black slaves, would be castrated by the empire.

The slave ships in the empire had a unique castration method, which was to use rubber bands to tie the testicles of white slaves and black slaves. Because of their elasticity, the rubber bands would automatically shrink. In just over a month, the testicles of the slave would fall off without damaging the slave's body.

Because of this "advanced" and satisfactory and cheap castration technology, the Empire has no worries about using slaves. No matter what race you have, as long as you can work, you can arrest them to make profits. While purchasing black slaves and white slaves, the Empire is also arresting black slaves.

The white slaves in the hands of the Venetian human traffickers were acquired by the Imperial Caravan. These white slaves are much more valuable than black slaves. Especially among the whites, the handsome men and beautiful women are the most valuable, which also stimulated the Venetian human traffickers.

For this reason, the Venetian traffickers began to seek beauty in Eastern Europe and Islamic countries, and the emerging empire in the East had huge demand for this.

The Empire Ocean Caravan stayed at the entrance of the Mediterranean for nearly half a month and submitted the announcement of the founding of the Chinese Empire to the Habsburg Dynasty.

The Habs dynasty was the most influential dynasty in Europe. It was in a period of gradual decline after its heyday. Charles V divided the Habs dynasty, and Spain, Italy, Prussia, the Holy Roman Empire, the Netherlands, Austria, and Hungary all had members of the Habs dynasty as rulers.

In order to maintain the purity of blood, the Habs dynasty was very common with their close relatives. It is precisely for this reason that the Habs dynasty died out after the 18th century, and hereditary diseases were terrible.

Subsequently, the Empire Ocean Caravan visited the ports of Constantinople, Cairo, Alexander, London and other places, and submitted the "Declaration of the Founding of the Chinese Empire" to the United Kingdom, France and the Holy Roman Empire.

European countries were shocked when they received the announcement. The Light Empire, which was once the Far East, had now perished, and was replaced by the general who was originally the Light Empire in the north.

All countries are familiar with that general. Before, when the Empire of Light still existed, he was vigorously expanding at sea.

When the empire's ocean-going caravan arrived in Europe, in addition to declaring the establishment of the empire to European countries, it also determined the empire's trade status in Europe.

Although European countries coveted the wealth carried by the Imperial Ocean Caravan, they did not dare to attack the Imperial Ocean Caravan.

Because this will lead to war.

Ordinary pirates have no strength to rob the Empire's ocean caravan. After all, the Empire's ocean caravan is protected by twelve frigates.

With the arrival of the first ocean caravan, the second ocean caravan arrived one month later. At this time, the empire's shipbuilding industry had flourished, the empire's number of ocean ships increased greatly, and the empire began to dump large quantities of goods into Europe. In the first half of the year, four large ocean caravans were sent to Europe.

The empire's dumping of goods from India and Europe was a comprehensive surname. The empire had many cheap goods, the most representative of which was cotton cloth. At the same time, cotton cloth was also the cheapest, the largest market, and the most impact on the other party's industry and commerce.

As the caravans of the empires arrived one after another, the day became less easy. A large number of cheap goods began to impact the industries of various countries, which had no impact on European countries with weak industries like Spain, but the impact on Britain and the Netherlands began to show.

In the second half of the second half of the empire, the number of imperial ocean-going caravans that arrived in Europe doubled. European countries seemed helpless about the sudden emergence of imperial merchant ships.

Spain was in the best situation, they also retained Peru, Cuba, and some colonies on the east coast. Although the loss of Central America greatly affected them, this was before the caravans appeared and the situation did not worsen after the appearance.

The empire's industry and commerce developed rapidly this year.

First, the empire was constructing everywhere and a large number of infrastructure were being built. At the same time, taxes from the lower classes were reduced, which made the empire's market prosperous. Secondly, the empire quickly stabilized. Good public security and legal implementation made the empire's provinces extremely stable. Under the vigorous clearance of this year, the empire's bandits were about to disappear, and more than 90% of the heads in the empire were banned.

At the same time, the empire increased relief, and it was impossible to see people who were starved to death within the empire. At the same time, the empire's education began to enter the promotion stage this year.

At this time, Zhao Yan was guiding the empire to carry out the "Great Leap Forward" development. Of course, this is a more rational Great Leap Forward. The core of the Great Leap Forward is the early investment in wealth creation, that is, the construction of infrastructure.

Currently, there are many illiterate empires and generally insufficient infrastructure, so this naturally cannot create more wealth.

...The Mongolian rebellion that shocked the whole empire has not subsided. Then after the empire discovered the traces of the Qing Dynasty, the imperial emperor Zhao Yan sent four cavalry divisions to the western front.

The Imperial Railway was intensified, and the Empire drew 500,000 Japanese slaves and 200,000 Mongols from the local area to build the railway regardless of losses.

This loss is the fate of those Japanese slaves and Mongolians.

However, the Empire no longer cared about the fate of these Japanese slaves and Mongols at this time. Since the invention of the "advanced" castration method, the Empire has as many slaves as it wants, and black slaves have become the new source of free labor for the Empire.

The construction speed of the two railways to the Western Line, Shenxi Railway and Beijing-Windustry Railway, began to increase after the labor force surged. It is expected that the empire will be able to build the front line in July of the third year.

These two westward railways of the empire are crucial. They should not continue to expand westward before the railway is successfully built, because the military expenditure is very high.

The empire is now short of money to build infrastructure and promote free education, so military spending can be saved. Besides, the land behind has not been digested, and it is useless to build the land ahead, and it will cost more money.

But the Qing Dynasty must not be a good time. Zhao Yan ordered the Western Regions Military Region and the Nuergandus Military Region to harass the Qing Dynasty.

At the end of the second year of the empire, the harassment began.

The Western Regions Military Region began to send the Reading Battalion into Volga and the downstream basin. Although they had few troops, their combat effectiveness was super strong.

This Reading Camp went forward and burned, killing and looting, and ran rampant in the lower reaches of the Volga River. The Qing cavalry dispatched a large-scale encirclement and suppression, but this Reading Camp was different from the Ordinary Reading Camp. This Reading Camp brought enough ammunition before setting off.

They were divided into two parts, one burned, killed, looted, and the other transported ammunition in the back. This reading camp was surrounded by Dodo in November of the second year of the empire.

Duoduo assembled a hundred thousand troops and surrounded the Reading camp.

The Reading Battalion was surrounded and could not escape. It built a defense line on the banks of the Volga River. Duoduo launched thirteen attacks in one day, and all thirteen attacks were repelled.

The Qing army left more than 10,000 bodies and returned unsuccessfully.

At night, two hot air balloons rose from the reading camp. There were horses on the hot balloon. They flew across the Volga River and then rode back to report the news after landing.

The water source is not a problem at all, and food is not a problem. There are so many dead horses that don’t have to worry about having nothing to eat, but the fuel is a bit tight.

Duoduo was very unwilling to accept it. He was killed by the Shandong army in Liaodong and lost. At this moment, even a mere 600 people could not do anything to him.

He was extremely angry, which made him want to wipe out all the people in front of him to grab their weapons. If the Qing Dynasty could master such weapons, there would be hope for his rise.

Duoduo's idea was naive. The reason why he thought so was that when he fled west, he still brought some craftsmen, thinking that the advanced weapons used by the Emperor's team can still be copied.

As a result, Duoduo could not capture it for a long time, and the reader battalion that broke into the lower reaches of the Volga River had too much ammunition. The Qing army charged and fired machine guns.

This made the Qing army very helpless. It was not that Duoduo had not thought about dispersing charges, but what's the use of this? When it was dispersed to a certain extent, people no longer used machine guns, but slowly solved it with rifles.

What made the Qing army frightened was that there were many sharpshooters among the Ming people. As long as they were within a thousand meters, they would inevitably be sniped, especially those leaders wearing special armor, who were the primary targets of sniping.

What made the Qing army even more at a loss was that the Duli Battalion could take the initiative to attack while surrounded. Because the Qing army did not dare to get within a thousand meters before the attack, it would always retreat after the attack. At this time, the soldiers of the Duli Battalion would ride on horses and advance with rifles.

Usually they will advance to four hundred meters away and then shoot.

If the Qing army chased, they would run away. If they didn't chased, they would continue to fight. The only thing that made the Qing army glad was that the Duli Battalion did not carry artillery.

This is because artillery and shells have become bullets. In order to bring more bullets, the Reading Battalion did not bring any artillery and shells. Their task was to burn, kill, loot, and not fight tough battles. The Qing Dynasty did not have artillery, so naturally he did not even bring infantry artillery.

The siege ended in vain. Duoduo knew that it was not a solution to surround like this, so he retreated. Shortly after Duoduo retreated, reinforcements from the Western Region Military Region arrived.

Winter has arrived, and the Western Regions Military Region did not continue to make any moves, but began to digest the territory it had built.

...The three years of the empire came soon, and the three years of the empire's fiscal budget was very abundant.

Because of the vigorous mining of precious metals in two years, the Empire's income in precious metals reached 80 million silver dollars, which was enough to support the Empire's education costs.

In terms of education expenditure, each student spends about 4 silver dollars per year, which includes teachers' salary, food expenses, book expenses, infrastructure construction and maintenance costs.

The population of the empire has been counted, with a total of 196 million Han people, and there are more than 6 million ethnic minorities, and 8 million people who are not recognized for their legal status.

These unrecognized legal identities are mainly slaves and some indigenous people, such as indigenous people in the Siberian region, indigenous people on the Indochina Peninsula, and the Mongols are not within this scope.

Of the 196 million people in the empire, 20 million need education in urgent need of education.

The Imperial fiscal revenue in the second year, except for precious metal mining, combined with other revenues reached 160 million silver dollars, of which agricultural tax and industrial and commercial tax increased significantly, and customs and ocean trade revenues soared.

This year, the empire had new requirements for infrastructure.

The imperial emperor required that the empire must have a complete railway network, a good highway network, and more importantly, good water conservancy facilities.

After the empire budgeted 180 million yuan in education, medical care, military expenses and administrative expenses, the remaining 60 million yuan was invested in infrastructure construction.

While spending money, the empire was also vigorously collecting money. The main manifestation was the increasing number of taxes. Although these taxes were formulated, many of them had not yet entered the collection stage.

In the third year of the empire, it was time to collect these taxes. The empire's method was to extract blood from the middle and upper classes and to the lower classes.

At the same time, in order to speed up infrastructure construction, the imperial emperor ordered troops stationed overseas to arrest foreign slaves in full swing.

Zhao Yan planned to use countless alien slaves to build the infrastructure of the empire.

Rural facilities and urban facilities are equally important. Once rural facilities cannot keep up with the development of cities, a large number of people will pour into cities.

It’s nothing to do with urbanization itself, it’s abnormal to pour into cities just because rural infrastructure is weak.

A beautiful, prosperous and well-off countryside is the goal of the empire to build.

Of course, the empire was still continuing to immigrate, but the immigration policy changed. The empire's three-year immigration policy became to move people from mountainous areas and people from poor areas.

Mountainous areas and some barren areas are the main reasons for poverty. Due to the constraints of the environment, it is very difficult for people living in that environment to become rich.

So it’s better to move people out and leave the space for wild animals. After all, there is a living space outside, and most of them are fertile land.
