Valley Emperor

In many places, there are actually indigenous people trying to smuggle into the Datang-controlled area, not only the mainland, but also many indigenous people in overseas territories who want to smuggle over.

Ceuta in Europe is a typical place. Every day, a large number of indigenous people from Europe or North Africa try to smuggle in, and after smuggling past, they pretend to be temporary residents.

For overseas territories, although Datang's control is also very strict, it is not so strict after all, and those indigenous people can always find opportunities to smuggle.

But Datang's control of the local area is very strict, and the smuggling of indigenous people is strictly prohibited.

In Central Asia, because it borders the Mughal Empire and the Safi Dynasty, the Ottoman Empire is also on the edge, and even the Eastern European control area of ​​the Tatar Kingdom is also on the edge, so the phenomenon of smuggling in this area is very serious.

In the beginning, Datang would detain illegal immigrants caught for a period of time before they were sent back, but soon the local Datang officials were dumbfounded. Let them arrest.

After I asked, I realized that even if I had to do hard work every day after being arrested by the Datang military police, I could still eat and eat well, at least much better than they were in their hometown...

In the end, Datang had no choice but to repatriate directly, set up checkpoints on all major traffic routes, etc. Except for a few commercial ports, all the borders were blocked.

However, even so, it is still difficult to completely prevent migrants from crossing the border. In the end, they simply took the initiative to withdraw civilians from the area close to the border in order to set up a separation zone, and they were not familiar with a large number of border patrol forces.

This is also the reason why three second-line garrison divisions are deployed in this area all year round, not to fight, but to block the border to prohibit the entry of illegal immigrants.

But, for the Mughals, it made no difference, and they still felt a deep fear.

The surrender of the Mughal dynasty was not a special case, although the specific way was different, but it was actually a very common thing.

European countries, which one is not called Dad holding Datang's thigh!

Rudolph II of the Holy Roman Empire before, people have long claimed to voluntarily give up the title of Roman emperor, and only retain a series of other titles such as the Archduke of Austria, the King of Hungary, the King of Croatia, and the King of Bohemia.

Although most of his territory has been taken away by the Tartars, this is absolutely related to the absolute power of the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty pays attention to the fact that the sky has no two days, and the people have no two kings. You messy natives make kings, titles such as grand dukes, we in the Tang Dynasty are too lazy to care, but if you want to be an emperor, the king of kings, the king of kings. Kings or titles with similar meanings, that's not allowed.

Akbar of the Mughal Dynasty took the initiative to remove the "Shah", which is what later generations call the title of Indian emperor, for this reason.

As for Rudolf II, he publicly announced that he gave up the title of Roman emperor, and then received some military material assistance from the Tang Empire at that time, including 3,000 flintlock guns and 12 smoothbore cannons.

More crucially, no one, including King Philip II of Spain, who was also a Habsburg family, dared to claim to be the heir of the Roman emperor.

In fact, even the Ottoman Empire and the Safi Dynasty and other countries, although they said that they did not do anything like giving up their titles, they also took the initiative to explain to the Tang Dynasty one by one. Our current title, in fact, translated into Chinese is king, grand duke Or a similar title, even strictly speaking, it is not even a king, but a ruler of a place, but not the emperor that you people in the Tang Dynasty said!

Even the title is made short by others, which shows the strength of Datang today!

The people of the empire living in such a powerful empire are proud and even inflated in their hearts.

They can't even say that they look down on other natives and barbarians, and they don't even think of those natives as human beings.

You ask them to put themselves on the same level as the natives, and they'll see it as insulting to them.

And this atmosphere of public opinion also directly affected many foreign policies of the empire and even the military's army building strategy.

In the military, you must hang and beat all kinds of indigenous people. Any situation where you have contact with the indigenous people, and even requires the soldiers to work hard, is not allowed.

Datang can't afford to lose this face!

In addition to the persecution of domestic public opinion, in fact, the more important thing is that the military has been kidnapped by the domestic industrial system.

The 75mm rear-mounted steel rifled gun of the Datang Army is enough to hoist the world. What is the use of your army's 200mm train cannon and 300mm train heavy howitzer?

It is estimated that the war has already ended before these heavy artillery can reach the front line!

However, even so, the Datang Empire still did not give up its technical research, and continued to widen the distance between itself and the natives.

This is not even the military's advancement, because the military actually has no such demand at all. The military generals are quite satisfied with the current weapons and equipment, and all they require is to reduce the cost of ammunition.

The empire has already entered the era of rear-loaded rifles, and it is at least a hundred or even hundreds of years ahead of other natives.

In the follow-up, as long as they develop step by step, they can maintain their advantages for a long time. This time must be so long that Li Xuan can't live to see the technical level of the indigenous people catch up.

However, the reason why the Datang Empire continued to promote the development of science and technology, and constantly tested and equipped a large number of advanced weapons, was in addition to the importance of the Son of Heaven.

A considerable part of the reason still comes from the domestic industrial system.

The three major weapons companies represented by the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises~www.wuxiaspot.com~ are almost dragging the pace of the military, forcing the military to continuously purchase their new weapons and equipment.

The three major arms companies do this, naturally, for profit.

Datang's military R&D system is relatively complex. The R&D of the three major weapon companies is rarely out of their own pockets. They first come up with a concept or preliminary design, and then sign a R&D contract with the military. The military allocates funds for them to conduct research. If the research is successful, the order is placed for official production.

In this process, even in the research and development stage, the three major weapons companies have already started to make money...

In this case, if the military says that it will not study new weapons and will not sign various R&D contracts with the three major arms companies, the three major arms companies will increase the prices of existing weapons and equipment every minute. Believe it or not...

Now the labor cost has risen, and the material cost has also risen. It is normal for the price to rise!

If it were only the three major weapons companies, in fact, they could not force the military to do anything with their energy. More importantly, almost the entire industrial system of the empire also supported the three major weapons companies to do so.
