Chapter 392: The whole world is not the king's land
With the offensive of the first and second western expeditionary armies, the Longhai Railway and the Lanxin Railway, known as the New Silk Road, are in full swing.
Chencang, west of Xi'an, which is a battleground for soldiers, has now become the location of the New Silk Road Construction Headquarters, Yao Qisheng, who served as the Northwest Economic Strategy, sat in the office, with a steaming cup of hot tea on his desk, and through the huge floor-to-ceiling glass windows, he could see everything in the large courtyard.
Chencang New Silk Road Construction Headquarters, is a large courtyard covering an area of forty acres, the gate is open, a railway is introduced into the large courtyard, a steam locomotive is parked in the large courtyard, there are several flat cars hanging behind the locomotive, which are full of sleepers, ballast and rails, the wall of the large courtyard is composed of simple wooden houses, Shaanxi has begun to heat in May, the railway from Xi'an to Chencang has been completed, not far from the headquarters of Chencang Railway Station, there is a passenger car that has just arrived, and the bustling crowd of people comes down from the car.
The future of Chencang, will be the intersection of Longhai Railway and Chencheng Railway, from Chencang to the south, along the ancient plank road, will build a railway to Chengdu, this railway will cross the Qinling Mountains, and finally in Chencang and Longhai Railway intersection, and Chencang is about to be renamed Baoji, Chencheng Railway name is not smooth, will be named Baocheng Railway.
The railway will go all the way to the west, and after reaching Dzungaria, it will continue to be built westward, after passing through the Khanate of Yuz, and then continue westward, passing through the Persian Kingdom, and then all the way west, through the Ottoman Empire, and then it will reach the Istanbul Strait, where the goods will be loaded onto ships and can be transported to Europe.
But the Ottoman Empire's refusal to open the Silk Road has become a formidable obstacle to communication between East and West.
The Ming army did not attack the distant Ottoman Empire by itself, after all, the railway was not completed, the long journey, the soldiers were tired, and the material consumption was extremely large, and the Ottoman Empire was not a weak chicken with many internal contradictions like the Mughal Empire, it was also a powerful empire, and the Ming Dynasty could not take much advantage of the consumption of the Ottoman Empire.
But if there is someone who is willing to be a thug and help the East and the West beat the Ottoman Empire, that is the Russian Empire.
The Russian Empire urgently needed an outlet to the sea, and in order to get this access to the sea, he had to declare war on the Ottoman Empire, and after more than a hundred years of war, Russia finally defeated the Ottoman Empire and gained ports on the Black Sea.
Although Wang Yu is also weakening the hairy bear, he will not let the hairy bear fall completely, a weak hairy bear is the most in line with the interests of the Eastern Empire, a weak hairy bear can contain the rise of the West, and will not threaten the East.
Where the road passes through the land and where the railway passes, it is necessary to ensure that the place is in good order, and the locals must not be allowed to resist. Therefore, Wang Yu adopted the means of exporting Han culture to the countries of the Western Regions.
Andrei Andreyevich Andreyev was a national of the Great Yuz Khanate, and because the Great Yuz Khanate was heavily influenced by Russia, their names were very similar to Russian names.
"When I go to the Dzungar Khanate to learn Chinese, the railway will soon pass through our country, and in this era, if you don't know Chinese, it will be difficult to move an inch in the future." His father asked Andre to study Chinese at Dihua University in Dzungaria.
Andre left his home and rode a camel eastward.
Along the way, you can see the Ming army wearing a bright red military uniform and the brocade guard wearing a flying fish suit everywhere. Today's Jinyiwei has become another kind of organization, part of Jinyiwei has been incorporated into the Military Intelligence Bureau and has become a secret intelligence organization, and the other part of Jinyiwei has actually become a policeman.
Dihua, the capital of the Dzungar Khanate, has been built into a beautiful city, surrounded by rivers on the periphery of the city, and towering trees are planted on the banks of the rivers.
The Ming Dynasty is very strong in the protection of the river, the Tarim River that flows to Lop Nur on both sides, are planted with trees, prohibits people on both sides of the river from using the Tarim River water excessively, and the residents on both sides of the river are subject to corresponding restrictions, to take river water to irrigate farmland, you must have a permit to plant trees to take river water to irrigate farmland, for example, people who have planted an acre of forests can draw river water from the river that can irrigate an acre of farmland, if you plant ten acres of forests, you can irrigate ten acres of farmland.
The local Turks relied on river irrigation to grow crops, and after the tree planting order, the local Turks chose to plant forests in the desert to transform the desert into an oasis.
To transform a desert oasis, you first need to plant turf in the desert, first fix the sand dunes, and then generate soil when you have grass, then plant poplar trees on it, and finally gradually expand the poplar forest and turn the desert into an oasis.
If all the deserts in the northwest become oases, then not only will thousands of square kilometers of Lop Nur not dry up, but the water vapor in the northwest can be increased hundreds of times, and the Tarim Basin will no longer rain a year, but will usher in abundant rain, thus further turning the Tarim Basin into an oasis.
Andre came to Dihua University, where he sat in a spacious and bright classroom with other Turks from the Western Regions, listened to the teacher's lectures, and learned the profound Han culture. If it weren't for the difference in his facial features, from a distance, there would really be no difference between Andre and the Han people.
Compared with the Turks like Andrea, the Apache of the Indian warriors in the Americas is now dressed more like a Han Chinese.
Apache was originally an indigenous soldier who joined the Ming army, and in the war with the Spaniards, Apache made a lot of achievements, he once killed 125 Spanish colonists, captured 150 people, and won the Order of the Sun and the Moon of the Great Tomorrow. As he grew older, Apache became a local magistrate, but it was not enough to be illiterate, so Apache was sent to the Chinese University in New York.
The British East India Company, located in the South Asian subcontinent, is also opening Chinese language courses, and the Confucius Institute has opened in British India, and a large number of Indians and even the British are vying to learn Chinese, they are impressed by the profundity of Han culture and the charm of Han culture.
At Yao Qisheng's suggestion, Wang Yu also opened a performing arts company, spending money every year to send a large number of artists abroad to act, among which the Romance of the Three Kingdoms series and the Journey to the West series of operas are the most popular among other countries.
The Indians of the Americas, the natives of the South Seas, and the Turks of the Western Regions all learned Chinese on a large scale, and Wang Yu believed that after a few years, these local natives would eventually forget their own language and only speak Chinese, and eventually integrate into the Han Chinese people completely.
As for the flag people, not to mention, their skin color is the same, and assimilating them is not an easy matter.
It doesn't matter if they are white people with different skin colors, as long as they recognize Han culture, they can obtain Ming nationality, and they will be proud to be a Ming person.
The only ones who can't be assimilated are blacks.,Even if they are sinicized again.,But no matter what race the black marryes with.,The offspring born are all black.。 However, Wang Yu had a countermeasure, he made Africa his own territory, and selected a warrior from among the black slaves who were sold to the Americas to be the emperor of the future African empire, which was a slave country and a simple exporter of agricultural products and raw materials.
