Valley Emperor

Vol 2 Chapter 1794: Move Denmark to Africa

As an admiral who has served overseas for a long time, Vice Admiral Qiao Haozhong has dealt with indigenous peoples all over the world. In his early years he was in the South China Sea, followed by India and Africa. In previous years, he served in West Asia and Northeast Africa. .

All kinds, regardless of whether it is the Ottoman Empire, the Safi dynasty, the Spaniards, or those who have not been civilized and are still in a tribal state, Qiao Haozhong is with them. dealt with.

Therefore, the experience of dealing with indigenous people is quite rich.

It's just that in the past, Qiao Haozhong dealt with the indigenous people, and he used naval guns to talk more. He really wasn't very good at other ways.

Well, it's not just him. In fact, there are not many people in the Tang Empire who are good at dealing with the natives in other ways.

Because when the Tang Empire dealt with the natives, guns and guns were often the first, followed by various negotiations, and the means of negotiation were also very poor. It was said that it was a negotiation, but it was often a condition to ask the natives to answer or not.

If you promise, then nothing will happen.

Do not agree!

OK, hit it again!

Then after the fight, ask the natives if they are not satisfied?

From this, it can also be shown that Datang's foreign policy is simple and rude, and even diplomats have little room to play. Many elite students are not willing to apply for admission to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Not to mention staying overseas, and there is absolutely no room to show off your talents.

On the issue of the Danish archipelago, the easiest and most direct way is to send a fleet directly, carrying thousands of ground combat troops, and directly ask the Danish royal family for these three islands.

The Danish royal family will probably refuse, but after the rejection, the Tang army and navy will land and fight. At that time, the Danish royal family will agree to the conditions of the Tang Dynasty. King of Denmark, and then occupy this borderless land.

If you just grab it directly like this, the negative impact will be too great, and it will chill the hearts of the younger generation in Europe.

If you can't do it directly, then let's deliberately release water. For example, put pressure on the Swedish army to withdraw from these islands, and then drop the Swedish warships that blocked the strait. Then they will not send warships from the Tang Navy. Cruise in the past.

In this way, the Tatars will see the opportunity and launch a sea-crossing operation.

Although the Tatars' advantage in the sea is not large, it is not a problem to fight a lingering kingdom of Denmark.

When the Tatars kill the Danes, the Tang Dynasty can send troops to the Danish Islands with the slogan of fighting against the Tatars. At that time, they don't even need to send much troops themselves, and directly ask the Kingdom of Sweden for troops, only need to dispatch the fleet and some of them by themselves. The Marines will do.

As long as the strait is blocked, the Tatars who landed on the island in the early days will be dead sooner or later.

At that time, the Danish Islands will be able to fall into the hands of the Tang Dynasty.

It's just that everyone is not stupid. Once the Tang Dynasty does this, people with a heart will definitely see it, and they will inevitably feel chills at that time.

In recent years, the younger brother in Europe has not been focused on fighting the Tatars behind the Tang Dynasty.

Especially the main forces resisting the Tatars, such as the Ottoman Empire, in recent years, they have actually stopped large-scale wars with the Tatars, just making small troubles, or else the huge Balkan Peninsula would have fought long ago. Woke up.

Spain, Portugal, the British Isles, Naples and other peripheral countries, although they also sent troops to participate in the war, but the war did not burn their territory after all, so sending troops to participate in the war is more to prevent problems before they happen, but also to deal with the Datang Empire.

It was the European lords in France and Switzerland who were really desperately resisting. Because the Tatars had invaded their territory, they were the most active in the fight because of their pain.

It's just that the courage to resist is slowly fading in the continuous war, and the Tatars have also gradually changed their policies. They did not directly take massacres as in earlier years. When they caught the nobles, they slashed with one sword. The Huairou policy will take preferential treatment policies for some lords who come to take refuge, such as knighthood or something.

This has shaken many nobles in the resistance coalition.

At this time, if the Tang Dynasty annexed Denmark, it is estimated that many people would be able to turn directly to the Tatars, which would have a bad impact on the European situation.

After much deliberation, Vice Admiral Qiao Haozhong gave up the direct annexation method.

Regardless of whether it is taken by force or murdered with a knife, it is not desirable.

So what else can be done?

After thinking for several days, Qiao Haozhong finally turned his attention to Africa.

Is it possible to follow the example of the Southeast Asian countries and directly help the Kingdom of Denmark relocate to Africa?

It's just that even if the Kingdom of Denmark agreed, the empire's sea transportation capacity would not be available for a while.

As far as he knew, several countries in the Southeast Asian countries had already begun to relocate, occupying a large amount of maritime transport capacity of the Tang Empire.

Most of the troops from the early Southeast Asian countries have landed in Africa, and then a large number of people will travel to Africa.

According to the report of the Nanyang Affairs Yamen, they expect to complete the preliminary relocation of the Nanyang countries within three years~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and complete it within five years.

Many relocations in Nanyang are from north to south, and the places close to the Tang Dynasty were the first to relocate. For example, the Annan and Northern Dynasties and Siam were the first ones. The total number of people in the two countries was more than 100,000 people. .

In the previous batch of relocations, more than a dozen shipping companies in Datang participated in it.

In order to meet the huge immigrant transportation needs of Southeast Asian countries, Datang's domestic shipbuilding industry has specially launched several kinds of cheap passenger ships.

The full-load displacement is mostly between 1,000 tons and 2,000 tons, but although the tonnage may be different, they all have several common characteristics, that is, old and cheap steam engines are generally used, which leads to a relatively slow speed. Increase the number of passengers, and the center of gravity of the vessel tends to be higher and the ability to withstand storms is relatively poor.

However, this is not the point. The point is that the cabins during the period are very dense. The number of passengers on this cheap passenger ship is three times that of a normal passenger ship of full tonnage, and more than five times that of a luxury passenger ship of full tonnage.

Three times, five times, for many ordinary ocean liners in Datang, the passenger capacity is much larger!

It's just that these cheap ships have just come out. The Ministry of Communications of the Datang Empire has explicitly prohibited the use of the above-mentioned ship types as passenger ships carrying the people of the empire. Violators will be severely punished. .

At the same time, there are too many passengers, and the limited lifeboats cannot meet the needs of so many passengers. In the event of a ship accident, it is difficult to escape.

At the same time, because the number of people on board is too large, the sanitary conditions on the ship will be worrying.

However, even if the government does not order a ban, domestic shipping companies will not use such cheap ships to transport domestic passengers.
