I am rich in martial arts, but choose culture to win

Sheng Huaixuan controls the channels for raising victims in the north of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River Flooding Area, while Hu Xueyan controls the relevant channels in Fujian, southern Jiangxi, and even Guangdong.

At present, the total population of Ming Dynasty's North American headquarters has reached 660 million, and the monthly population growth has remained at around 9.5%.

This is the speed obtained through repeated calculations and practical tests.

No matter how fast it is, it will lead to a reduction in the quality of naturalization education and a decline in social stability.

If one year ago, there were Fuguang accents everywhere in Daming, now Jiangbei Mandarin accents account for the majority.

And just like Shenzhen in the later generations, because everyone is not aboriginal, they are all Ming people, and there is no obvious regional discrimination, let alone the so-called "foreign exclusion".

However, "monthly population growth of 9.5%" is actually a compound interest model. As the base gets bigger and bigger, Ming needs more and more immigrants every month.

To put it simply, by maintaining this speed, by the end of this year, the total population of Ming Dynasty in North America will reach 1961 million.

By the end of next year, it will be 5828 million.

The year after next will reach an astonishing 1 million people.

Of course, this is completely impossible.

Today, the total population of China is only 4 million people.

This is equivalent to moving 1/3 of China's population to North America.

Neither realistic nor necessary.

Because the population in North America itself will reproduce naturally.

In later generations, by 1981, China's population exceeded 10 billion.

It took 32 years to double the population.

Daming's per capita food, land, energy, and other resources are much more abundant, and it will not be difficult to double in 20 years.

In other words, as long as Ming North America had 5000 million Chinese immigrants, the total population would reach 3-4 million before Zhu Fugui passed away with a smile.

The population of the Ming Dynasty headquarters (excluding Japan, Korea, Nanyang and other territories) is about 7-8 million.

This is a very ideal number.

Therefore, completing 3 million immigrants in 5000 years is the goal that Daming must accomplish, and it is also the best way to solve the overcapacity of grain.

then.

Zhu Fugui drank the non-toxic Wuyi Dahongpao brought by Hu Xueyan, and said with a smile: "Hu Aiqing, I heard that the land of Fujian and Guangxi is not peaceful now?"

Hu Xueyan hurriedly said: "Long live, the commander-in-chief of the state of Chu, the admiral of Fujian and Zhejiang, put down the Cantonese bandits...Being deceived by the Qing demon and fighting with that...Taiping army has been pacified for many days. It can't be called unfair!"

"I'm not referring to the Taiping Army..."

Zhu Fugui shook his head, and after taking a sip of the Dahongpao cow, which cost a few dozen taels of silver, Zhu Fugui leaned forward and said, "I heard that the natives from Guangdong and Fujian fought with weapons, resulting in millions of casualties and thousands of miles of blood. It's a tragedy in the world, but the Duke of Chu seems to have no intention of intervening?"

"Hu Xueyan, do you think there is such a thing!"

When it came to the end, Zhu Fugui almost beat the case.

Chapter 417 Development of the Great Salt Lake

Although Tuke Weapon Fighting is called Weapon Fighting, it is actually a real "forgotten war", and its popularity is lower than that of Hui Chao in the same period.

This war was not only in Guangdong, but also in Guangxi, Fujian, and southern Jiangxi, and it was extremely tragic.

The Hakka people have existed since ancient times. From traveling to the south in clothes to the customer system in the Tang and Song Dynasties, the concept of Hakka people has always existed, and it refers to the northern immigrants who basically went south.

Of course, the subject of this concept is also in constant change.

In fact, the so-called Guangfu people are essentially Han people who went south in an earlier period.

However, with the entry of the Qing Dynasty, another round of refugees from the north moved south, squeezing the living space of the local ethnic groups. Coupled with the differences in living habits and languages, the Qing government's "divide and rule" intensified ethnic conflicts in the middle. It eventually turned into a vendetta among the Han people.

But at its root, this is also caused by the population explosion in the south after the "sweet potato prosperity", which seriously exceeded the land carrying capacity of the hilly areas.

In the last years of Xianfeng, the war had already begun.

In a sense, the Taiping Rebellion was even a by-product of this war.

"Everyone carries a sword, and every household wears a sword."

"Slaughter men, plunder women's property, burn down housing estates, call it 'shovel village'."

"The natives exchanged captives and murdered each other, and each counted up to 10 people."

All these are unbearable to read.

After all, it's still too much.

After the Chinese nation and even the Zhuxia civilization lost the space and ability to expand outward, whether it is the abundant martial arts of the guests or the united will of the natives, they can only be turned into a sigh in this ultimate Han Chinese introspection .

Zhu Fugui had no intention of choosing a side in this internal struggle among the Han people, but compared to the natives with land and property, it must be easier to recruit guests.

In fact, most of the veterans of the Taiping Army were Hakkas.

For example, Yang Xiuqing, Feng Yunshan, Shi Dakai, Qin Rigang, Hu Yihuang, Chen Chengrong, Chen Yucheng, Li Xiucheng, Li Shixian, Yang Fuqing, etc. are all Hakka people.

This led to the fact that a considerable part of the Taiping Army prisoners that Daming bought from the Huai Army were also Hakkas.

Very early on, Zhu Fugui paid attention to strictly preventing such phenomenon of using his hometown to pull up the mountain from happening within Daming.

What kind of guests and local people, Hakka dialect, anyway, who don't speak the correct pronunciation of the Ming Dynasty, all go to labor reform!

Under such a high-pressure policy, even the Japanese are bending their tongues to speak the Ming language, striving to be the pure ministers and filial sons of the Ming Dynasty. The so-called difference between natives and foreigners is simply a joke.

However, the hundreds of thousands of guests and 10,000+ natives that Daming has attracted are still a drop in the bucket for alleviating the conflict between natives and guests.

Now that the demand for immigrants is increasing, Zhu Fugui naturally hopes to absorb some of the native refugees while continuing to absorb the disaster victims in North China.

The proportion is about 40% and 30%, and the other 3% are immigrants from Sichuan, Hunan, Jiangnan and other places.

Doing so will not only increase the population of Ming Dynasty, but also reduce or even eliminate the internal cause of this disaster in mainland China as much as possible.

Whether it is natives or guests, to be honest, the good ports in Fujian and Guangdong are fine. What is there to fight for in those barren and rugged lands in those ravines?

Come to America, Mississippi and the vast black lands to make!

It doesn't matter how much land you want.

Isn't it much more fragrant than the red clay?

……

The negotiation with Hu Xueyan went very smoothly.

Hu Xueyan's motto in dealing with people in the world is "a man in a sedan chair carries a man".

In short, there are three-point thin noodles wherever you go.

Whether he is a Cantonese or a Hakka, Hu Xueyan has friends who can be called friends.

Of course, Daming will also send some locals and officials from guests to assist.

We must know that in this era, Turk villages are all war fortresses.

For example, the famous Tulou in Fujian is a clan or a village living in one place, farming and fighting.

If there is no trustworthy person to come forward, or to come up with a real guarantee, it is impossible to make people lay down their weapons, or even give up the land, even if it is a few rotten lands that are barren and rotten to go to sea.

The work to be done is very complicated and tedious.

But as long as a few transactions are made, under the demonstration effect, a chain reaction will soon be produced, and the subsequent work will be much easier.

Of course, whether natives or guests came to Daming, it was also a matter of utmost importance to completely dismantle its establishment and use thunderous means to wipe out the soil where clan power existed.

Therefore, the Naturalization Bureau estimated that compared with the North China refugees, the immigration speed of the native immigrants should be further controlled.

This year, the monthly increase in the population of Ming Dynasty must be controlled within 7%, so as not to affect the quality of immigration digestion.

In this way, it is estimated that by the end of this year, the final revised total population of Ming Dynasty will be about 1500 million people, barely accounting for 1/3 of the total population of North America.

……

After signing a series of documents such as the "Mingtai Central Railway Equity Procurement Letter" and "Mingchu Population Transfer Agreement", Zhu Fugui took Hu Xueyan on the train.

Compared with the steam train that Li Hongzhang traveled at a speed of only 20 kilometers per hour when he visited, Hu Xueyan's "Suan Ni" train set reached a speed of 55 kilometers per hour.

Starting from Fengdu, head south, transfer to Xinji and head west. After about 8 hours, the train arrives at Xinzheng, the most important transportation node in northern Daming.

Xinzheng is a city born entirely because of transportation, which is very similar to the history of Zhengzhou's prosperity.

The Northern Line of the Pacific Railroad meets the New Yellow River (Columbine Snake River).

Compared with the Yellow River, which has a raised river bed and lacks runoff, the New Yellow River is an inland river with abundant water and is suitable for navigating.

Zhu Fugui and his entourage changed to a small steamer and headed southward all the way. After a 600-kilometer voyage of one day and two nights, they arrived at the Snake Lake area.

Here, Zhu Fugui and his party were greeted by a cavalry brigade of the Railway Corps who had been waiting for a long time.

Cavalry brigades are generally smaller in number than infantry brigades.

The ace cavalry brigade of this railway corps has 2000 men and 5000 horses.

Zhao Ji and Chongzhen wept when they heard about this ratio of people and horses.

Raising horses in North America is much easier than raising horses in the Central Plains.

It's a pity that it is now the sunset of the cavalry.

In addition to the 2000 soldiers directly protecting Shengjia, two mobile armor units of the Wumu Army are also on standby in the nearby desert area.

It's just that the road Zhu Fugui was going to take was too rough and unsuitable for the deployment of armored troops, so they could only watch from a distance and sweep everywhere, so as not to disturb Shengjia by any horse bandits who didn't have long eyes.

……

Avoiding the desert area of ​​the Great Salt Lake from Snake Lake, there is still 250 kilometers to reach the southwestern shore of the Great Salt Lake.

During the whole period are rugged mountains and desert areas.

On such terrain, horseback riding is still the most reliable mode of transportation.

Zhu Fugui's riding skills are not very good, and Hu Xueyan's is even worse.

So the 250-kilometer journey took a group of people walking for more than ten days.

Riding on horseback, looking at the continuous mountains and the vast desert that constantly appeared during the journey, if Lao Zuo came here, I am afraid that he would be so proud that he would even compose a poem.

But Hu Xueyan obviously didn't have this boldness, on the contrary, he was full of sorrow.

Zhu Fugui rode beside him, and said: "Hu Aiqing, look at these magnificent mountains and rivers, they are all bright lands, and I have won another thousand years of foundation for China!"

"Your Majesty's meritorious deeds will last for thousands of years, and I admire you!"

Hu Xueyan flattered him, then changed the subject, and said worriedly, "Your Majesty, I think this place is dangerous. Even though apes can't fly across, can manpower really build a railway here?"

Hearing this, Zhu Fugui shook his head slightly.

After pondering for a while, Zhu Fugui looked up at the sky.

At this time, Ito Hirobumi, the accompanying secretary, had already prepared a pen and paper.

As an excellent secretary, he naturally knew what it meant for his big boss to make such a move.

This is Long Live Lord Shixing is coming, ready to chant a poem!

Of course, such hadith should be carefully recorded and handed down to future generations.

Sure enough, Zhu Fugui chanted slowly: "The son of heaven has not yet returned the border, and the disciples of Zhuxia are all over the mountain. The sleepers were planted for three thousand miles, and the iron horses were drawn to cross the critical pass!"

"Nice poem!"

Ito Hirobumi couldn't help applauding loudly, "What a Zhuxia descendant! We Japanese are also descendants of Zhuxia. For such a feat, I represent 600 million Japanese volunteers. Please allow us to overcome the difficulties together and serve the country. effective!"

Hu Xueyan on the side savored the poem carefully, and a surge of enthusiasm rushed straight into his chest.

It is indeed a good poem!

There is a faint wind of a veteran on the battlefield.

It seems that the rumors that today's Da Tianzi is a martial arts master who wears Lin Bei's legs, and that he was also tough and brave in his early years, this is definitely not a lie!

It's just that Emperor Zhu's poetry level is too unstable.

For a while, it is the vulgarity of "one poking and one jumping", and for a while it is such a good poem, how strange and strange!

Those who can't say that they can't achieve great things are just so capable of rough and fine, and they can be retracted freely!

In any case, from this poem, Hu Xueyan read Zhu Fugui's determination to overcome all difficulties and complete the middle line railway at all costs.
