The Great Bandit in Kangxi Year

Chapter 244 Different Treatments
At this time, the Dahua Empire was raising troops aggressively, and the entire empire was running rapidly without any major mistakes.

However, the head of the cabinet was found within a few days, and he took out the deduction of the think tank, saying that the empire would last until the end of the year at most, and the empire would have no money to continue fighting. He also said that he must guard against Japan, Tibet, Mongolia and other countries. Provocation, otherwise the consequences will be more serious.

Jiang Tao was dumbfounded. The frequency of recent wars is a bit high, but it won't be so serious.

But the data is dead. According to the data of the cabinet, at this time, the South used 25 sharpshooters, nearly 40 troops participated in the counter-insurgency campaign, and there were more than [-] soldiers and [-] marines in the navy, as well as Seattle and Fog. There are more than [-] troops in the city.

In total, there are nearly 60 main forces fighting. This is not a small number. Without the compensation for casualties, the cost of military and ammunition during the war alone exceeds 2000 million silver dollars, and more than 2 million silver dollars are needed a year.

The key is that the compensation for casualties is the highest.

Now the national treasury only has 4000 million silver dollars, no wonder everyone is anxious, Jiang Tao suddenly became anxious. In fact, Guangxi has deployed [-] sharpshooters, but the combat effectiveness of the ten newly formed sharpshooters will never improve without actual combat. .

He was at a loss, so he had to ask the elders: "What should I do?"

"Your Majesty, this battle must be fought and won. After all, it is related to the prestige of the empire. It is said that the Governor of the Americas has conquered dozens of Indian tribes, and the Indians under his control have exceeded 800 million. They can be asked to pay the poll tax. One person Pay two silver dollars a year, which is 1600 million. After deducting the military pay of the American garrisons, there will be half of the surplus. This will save part of the empire’s expenses, and the expansion of the Americas is too slow. If this continues, please change the general.” Cheng Zhang On behalf of the cabinet, he spoke earnestly.

Huang Zongxi and others also nodded, but Wei Donglai did not express his opinion. He had an opinion in his heart. Cheng Shoufu was suppressing generals with different surnames, especially those who were out of the emperor's control. The intention was good, but it was not conducive to the development of America.

Jiang Tao sighed in his heart. It seems that the cabinet is targeting Qi Datou again. In fact, he provoked the military expansion last time, which aroused the taboo of the cabinet. The bureau is in charge.

Although Jiang Tao can understand Qi Datou's situation, he thinks that he has absolutely no possibility of rebellion, because he only controls one sharpshooter at most, how much trouble can he cause?

But he can't refute the cabinet's decision too much. He has this confidence. As long as the empire is strong, no one dares to rebel, even if they rebel, it's useless.

Jiang Tao shook his head regarding the levy of poll taxes on Indians. The ancestors of American Indians were most likely immigrants from China. Based on this alone, he was not prepared for bloody massacres and exploitation.

According to what he knew in his previous life, most anthropologists and historians at that time believed that the earliest inhabitants of America migrated from other places.To sum up, there are four main points:
One is the "European immigration theory".This theory holds that the ancestors of the Indians entered the Americas from the European continent to the north via Iceland and Greenland, and some people believe that the Europeans arrived in the Americas by crossing the Atlantic Ocean.The odds are slim.

The second is the "South Pacific island theory".This theory holds that Asians gradually migrated to America through islands in the South Pacific.Of course, some people believe that the Polynesians who originally lived on the Pacific Islands entered the Americas through the South Pacific islands.

The third is "the theory of African immigrants".This theory holds that African blacks, especially Nubians and Malians, may cross the Atlantic Ocean to reach America.

The fourth is the "Bering Strait theory".This theory believes that the Asians of the Mongoloid race entered the American continent from Alaska through the frozen "corridor" of the Bering Strait 4 and 1.8 years ago.

The fourth method has great influence and has the most supporters.On the basis of this statement, Chinese scholars put forward the "North China Man Theory" and used compelling evidence to demonstrate that the ancestors of the Indians were Chinese.Wang Dayou, a well-known scholar who held this view, published a series of books called "China Avenue Library", in which some chapters discussed in detail the so-called "Chinese ancestors opened up America" ​​point of view.He believed that the American ancestors were "Chinese race", and American civilization was created by Chinese immigrants in different periods from 1 to 3000 years ago.

The evidence mainly includes the following aspects. In 1975, a 3000-year-old stone anchor was discovered in California, USA. After testing the rock samples, it was confirmed that this rock only exists near the Taiwan Strait of my country, but not in America.So American scholar Meriarty sent relevant materials and rock samples to Chinese archaeologist and paleoanthropologist Jia Lanpo, asking Chinese scholars to participate in the research.Mr. Jia passed the information to Fang Zhongfu, an expert on the history of water transportation in my country. After research, Mr. Fang believed that "the Yin people sailed for 3000 years."

In 1953, American archaeologists discovered 16 statues and 6 pieces of jade jade in the sacrificial center of the Olmec ruins in Mexico. There were characters engraved on the jade jade. The names of ancestors of the Yin people: Chiyou, Shaohao, Diku, Jiandi, Duofu, Qi, Xiangtu, Wanghai, Shangjia, etc.In addition, the custom of offering sacrifices is also the same as that of the Dongyi people.

The Indians used to be called the red race because their skin was often red, and it was later learned that the red color was due to the misunderstanding given by the habit of painting red paint on the face, but they were actually yellow race.

Due to the persecution and killing of more than 4000 million Indians by the British colonists, Americans, and European colonists (Spanish), and the destruction of Indian culture, there are not many remaining ancient Indian civilizations in the previous life. After the founding of the United States and the westward movement, the United States People persecuted and killed more than 2000 million Indians who originally lived in the eastern part of the United States today, and expelled them to the desolate west. It is difficult to see Indians in the United States.

But Jiang Tao will rewrite all of this. Although they don't have the treatment of first-class citizens before they learn Chinese, they won't be so harsh and can even win them over appropriately.

After all, the Dahua Empire had only entered the Americas for a few years, and its foundation was unstable. Moreover, the empire was unstable and wars continued, so it could not fully develop the Americas. However, with the help of the Indians, the empire easily gained a firm footing.

Moreover, the empire’s textiles, silk, daily necessities, and iron products have won the favor of the Indians. Now the annual trade volume of commodities sold to Indian tribes has reached 5000 million silver dollars, and it is increasing every year.

It is enough to become the empire’s commodity dumping ground and assist the imperial army in combat. Of course, this is a strategy in the recent period. In the future, the empire will send some Confucian scholars to educate all living beings, expand the scale of Chinese, and make Chinese a global language. Official language, to hell with English.

"Let's put this matter on hold for now, and we'll talk about it later." Jiang Tao chuckled, and asked again: "But what else can I do?"

Wei Donglai stood up and said calmly: "Don't worry, the emperor. The empire only has one sharpshooter stationed in Japan. The others are Korean soldiers, and they are blocked by the imperial navy. No matter how troublesome it is, you can't escape the emperor's Wuzhishan, Tibet. There is no serious problem. As for the situation in the south, it is actually nothing. Although there are many opponents, they are mobs. The key is the sea power in Southeast Asia and the Mongolian ministries. In fact, what I fear most is the Mongolian ministries. The empire now has fifty There are nearly 35 sharpshooters in the south, and ten sharpshooters gathered in the Northeast and North Korea. Except for the [-] Royal Cavalry in the Great Wall, there are only five sharpshooters. Although the Mongolian ministries have no intention of looting the interior for the time being, This is the biggest weakness of the empire, if it is not eradicated, the empire will not be able to launch a big battle at all."

"Ai Qing is right. I know the Mongolian affairs very well. In just three months, I will let the Mongolian ministries submit to the empire forever and become the empire's swords." Jiang Tao nodded, and said with confidence: "The order to The Mongolian ministries asked them to bring all the warriors to Hohhot to participate in the King Conferring Conference and the Martial Arts Tournament. At that time, all the ministries would be rewarded, and the top ten warriors would be selected, and No. 1 would be rewarded with 100 million silver dollars and a pair of treasure armor. Decrease, as long as you are a Mongolian warrior, you can participate, and I will be there at that time, and I must spread the imperial decree to every corner of the prairie."

"Your Majesty!" All the ministers were stunned.

Wei Donglai thought in disbelief: "Could it be that the emperor wants to wipe out all the Mongolian ministries? But does the empire have such great strength?"

Jiang Tao smiled mysteriously without explaining, and said sternly: "Don't worry, dear friends, I won't do anything foolish. Since the financial support can only be supported for half a year, I will try to make money. If I have it, I will let Annan and other countries collapse first. .”

Cheng Zhang woke up startled, and asked, "What's the emperor's plan?"

"Hey, we are fighting fiercely, but the Korean Corps is leisurely. This is not good. If there is any benefit, we must share it with the younger brother. North Korea now has 50 soldiers, 25 in Japan, but there are still 25 in North Korea. 20 of them can be ordered to land in Haiphong and other ports in Annan by sea, and directly attack the capital of Annan, but the spoils captured will be distributed to the empire by one-third." Jiang Tao sneered.

"It's a great plan. It takes at most one month to reach Annan. If it goes well, Annan's rebellion can be ended in the second month. As for Laos and other countries seeing Annan's end, they will definitely beg for peace. The three-nation coalition can break it in at most three months. " Wei Donglai's eyes lit up, and he said happily.

"Hehe, I will decide who will be the king of Annan, Laos and other countries this time. Okay, go down and arrange it immediately." Jiang Tao also laughed proudly. When Annan and other countries become the nominal colonies of the empire, the empire will not be afraid of financial deficits. .
