Valley Emperor
Vol 2 Chapter 1691: America: Heading inland
As for Prince Li Hao's complaints, the great Holy Emperor Li Xuan naturally didn't know about it. After all, he was not a real god, but a deified person, so he couldn't probe into other people's thinking.
Recently, Li Xuan's focus has been on returning to overseas territories.
Although it is said that the overseas immigration of the Datang Empire is already very fast, it is still not fast enough in Li Xuan's view.
It has been Xuanping thirty-five years now. Even Li Xuan, who is wise and great, even greater than the sun, cannot stop the passage of time. He is fifty years old this year.
Although Li Xuan is greater than the sun, it is definitely impossible to live as long as the sun.
Although Li Xuan's own body is still alive and kicking, Ye Yuwandv is not a problem, but even if he is in good health, he will not have a few decades to live. It's also very likely.
Thirty-five years after entering Xuanping, Li Xuan felt that time was pressing, so he did not plan to come slowly as before, but planned to speed up immigration and unify the world.
However, Li Xuan also knows that if it is purely a military issue, the Tang Empire is now fully capable of conquering all parts of the world. Well, the European side is a little more troublesome, but it's just a little more troublesome.
However, the global unity that Li Xuan wants is not a simple military government, but more importantly, global localization. What he wants to do is not only to conquer the world, but also to obtain enough living space for the Chinese nation.
One planet, one empire, one nation is no joke!
At this time, the report submitted by the American affairs yamen caught Li Xuan's attention: the officials of the American affairs yamen believed that the indigenous resistance in North America was still very serious, and attacks on immigrants from the Tang Dynasty occurred from time to time, especially in the deep When migrating inland, the risks are extremely high.
To this end, the American Yamen requested to launch a large-scale sweeping operation in North America, in preparation for the transfer of the indigenous people in the North American Datang-controlled area to Mexico.
This is simple to say, but there is a lot of military force to be used. The army has to add at least 108,000 troops to North America to support such a large-scale military operation.
After all, the focus of this operation is not to defeat the natives, but to relocate the natives.
The two concepts are different.
The former only needs to defeat the indigenous army, but the latter requires more time and energy.
The reason why they migrated to Mexico is because the Spaniards on the Mexican side are engaged in the plantation economy in Mexico. They are developing gold and silver mines and are in urgent need of a large amount of labor. For labor, they have imported black slaves from Africa.
Now Datang has sent a large number of North American natives to them, and they are very happy to accept these free labor.
The only problem is that the place is too big, there are too many natives, and the area that needs to be relocated is too large.
According to the Army's estimates, to organize such a large operation, it would require more than 200,000 combat troops, and it is limited to the surrounding areas of the current Datang control area, not the entire North American control area. do it all.
On the west coast of North America, there are 8,000 regular troops, and about 30,000 troops can be mobilized from the reserves and militia, which means that about 38,000 troops can be mobilized.
On the east coast, there are 18,000 regular troops, and about 50,000 people can be mobilized from the reserves and militia, and the total number of troops that can be mobilized is 68,000.
Adding the two together, that's just over 100,000 people.
But a mere 100,000 people spilled into the huge North American region, which was a drop in the bucket.
Therefore, in order to carry out this relocation operation, the Army proposed to temporarily increase its troops, and at least one hundred thousand more troops would be required.
If there are 200,000 people, although the force is still less, as long as you are cautious, it is barely enough.
After all, their mission is not actually fighting. If they are purely fighting, there are basically no tribes in North America that can resist their attack.
Their main task is to relocate the local indigenous people and move them to Mexico.
Li Xuan, the Son of Heaven, agreed in principle with the purge plan proposed by the American Affairs Yamen, but he did not agree with the army's plan to increase its troops by 100,000.
The reason is simple, the cost is too high!
Although the development of North America is not bad, it is only limited to agriculture. A large number of immigrants have established farms one after another in North America. Through hard farming, the local area can not only be self-sufficient in food, but also provide a large amount of food to new Immigrants are used as food rations, and even part of the wealthy food is used for wine sales or simply transported to Europe for sales.
However, this is only limited to agriculture.
Under the control of the Import and Export Committee of the Empire, even Luzon Province, which is close to the mainland, has not been able to let go of this opening, let alone other overseas territories.
As long as there are still indigenous people in North America, as long as the central government in Jinling wants to completely control North America, it is basically impossible to promote the development of local industries.
Today, many gentry capitalists in the empire have fully seen the power of industry.
They are more willing to make many overseas territories into suppliers of agricultural products and industrial raw materials and sales of industrial products, rather than into industrial production areas to compete with local enterprises.
If it was said at the beginning that the establishment of the Import and Export Committee was only to prevent the leakage of industrial technology to the indigenous people, then by now, the existence of the Import and Export Committee has not only played a role in that, but more importantly, it serves the local industry and commerce.
In this environment, North America is like other overseas territories. Except for a few handicraft industries, the rest are zero-industry industries. Even the railway construction they have always wanted to apply for was directly rejected by the top management.
This also means that the ammunition materials needed for overseas military operations have to be transported from the mainland.
This is not hundreds of thousands of kilometers, but tens of thousands of kilometers.
To supply supplies across tens of thousands of kilometers, although Datang's national strength is sufficient, it is not necessary.
In the end, Li Xuan only approved the army's small-scale troop increase plan. Don't count on 100,000 people, at most one more division will be sent there.
Anyway, it is not to say that all the natives of North America will be relocated to Mexico at once, but now it is just expelling the natives of the actual control area near the Tang Dynasty.
Move one place, settle one place, build another place, and then move again.
Repeatedly, when the people of the Tang Dynasty spread all over North America, the indigenous people would naturally cease to exist.
After the American side got the reply from Jinling, it started to act.
In the past, the operations of the army were basically large corps operations, and the main operations were against large-scale indigenous tribes.
But now, in addition to maintaining relatively large corps in a few directions, other aspects are scattered, based on battalion-level troops and troops with a scale of 1,000 people, and launched an attack on the indigenous control area.
Behind the army, a large number of immigrants dragged their families and headed inland!
The fastest action is naturally in places with rivers, especially the Xinnan River Basin, coupled with the Great Lakes Basin, Datang's military has made rapid progress and opened up many new colonies.
At the same time, the country has also begun to mobilize more immigrants to the Americas. The Immigration and Reclamation Division has already shouted a slogan. Starting from the 35th year of Xuanping, the number of immigrants to the Americas will further expand. In the next ten years, at least three immigrants will be required. Millions passed by.
Now, coupled with the natural growth of the local population, the population of North America will exceed 5 million in ten years.
Although five million people seem to be a lot, for the huge North America, the population density is still very low, and it is incomparable with the mainland.
Today, there are quite a few provinces with a population of more than 10 million in the mainland of the empire. Some densely populated areas, and even a single prefecture will have a population of more than one million.
But tens of millions of people are nothing to the mainland, but it is enough for the empire to control the Americas.
Relocate the natives and follow up with immigrants. This is the immigration control strategy formulated by the Tang Dynasty in North America.
The migration strategy of the American Affairs Yamen has also given great inspiration to officials in many overseas territories!
Soon, Luzon Province, which has been pursuing localization all the time~www.wuxiaspot.com~, wants to make this province a member of the empire as soon as possible.
They began to organize the people to relocate the natives.
Among them, the main island of Luzon has not many indigenous people. After this migration, it is estimated that there will be no one left.
For other islands, it is also gradually taking action.
In fact, the military is not interested in this kind of thing, after all, there is not much military merit to be obtained.
But nowadays Datang can only get a lot of military merit in the direction of Central Asia, and other places are half a catty, at best, they can only get a little hard work.
Hard work is better than no work.
Therefore, the local garrison, whether it is the navy or the army, has taken action.
The military's actions are naturally much more efficient than pure youth.
It didn't take long for the Luzon Governor Yamen to report the victory to Jinling, saying that Luzon Island had been 100% localized.
They can proudly claim that the existing population on the main island of Luzon is all the people of the empire, not a single native.
At the same time, Mindao Island, the earliest overseas territory of the Tang Dynasty, also quickly reported success. Mindao Island is also the second island to be 100% localized after Luzon Island.
In addition, Borneo, another large island in Luzon Province, is also steadily promoting the localization process. This time, the Luzon Governor Yamen is determined to invest a lot of power in Borneo, increase its efforts to attract immigrants, and provide local The yamen will provide more financial subsidies, etc., and strive to complete localization within three years.
Once Borneo has also completed localization, it means that several major islands in Luzon Province have already completed localization. At that time, they can follow the example of Beihai Province and apply to the mainland for the construction of railways and factories.
