Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 861, killing and expelling the natives

Suzaku City on the southeast coast of Australia is currently the largest city in Australia.

Of course, it is said to be a city, but it is actually only the size of a small county, and this small county is still very simple and primitive, except for a main road that is paved with cement roads, and there are some houses built with reinforced concrete on both sides. In addition, the entire Suzaku City is still full of wooden houses, and most of them are low wooden shacks.

Outside the wooden sheds, there are a large number of yurts, all of which are very simple.

However, although the sparrow is small and has all five internal organs, the entire Vermillion Bird City has everything.

Commodities from the north and south of Ming Dynasty and overseas are sold here. Many commercial firms have opened offices here, and ships come from Nanyang every day, and there are even ships from here to South Golden Continent every half a month. , or there is a boat returning to Daming from the South Golden Continent via Suzaku City.

Even the First Bank of Daming has opened a branch here in the main city to facilitate the exchanges between merchants and facilitate the daily life of Australian immigrants.

In addition, the Ming court also set up an Australian chief envoy in Suzaku City, turned the entire huge Australia into a province, and appointed officials to come to Australia to manage immigrants in Australia, collect taxes, and so on.

This is also the biggest change in the fifteen years since Hongzhi of the Ming Dynasty, that is, large-scale appointment of officials to go overseas. Nanyang, Western Regions, Hezhong, Grassland, Liaodong, Australia, and Golden Island all have a large number of officials going to these areas. At the same time, many new provinces were established one after another.

On the Nanyang side, in addition to the original four provinces of Luzon, Jiaozhi, Xianglin, and Zhenghe, the Northern Australia Province was set up in the vast island area from Nanyang to Australia. The scope of jurisdiction is very large, almost covering All the islands in a large area east of Bonizhou and Java.

Of course, Northern Australia is also sparsely populated. Only a few islands are open, and the rapidly developing plantation economy has not yet developed here. Only some colonial strongholds and ports have been established along the way to facilitate travel to and from Australia and South Gold. continent.

North Australia Province, Australia Province, and Golden Island also set up three provinces, North Golden Island Province, Central Golden Island Province and South Golden Island Province, each appointed a large number of officials to go to Golden Island, and began to trade from Tianjin to Oceania. Xing took over the entire Golden Continent, consolidated Ming's rule over these areas, and at the same time gradually carried out standardized management.

Of course, the most important reason is to start collecting taxes on the Golden Island. There are too many gold mines here, and a huge tax can be collected every year.

Deng Nan is the first chief envoy of the Australian province. He is not very old, only in his early fifties. Well, for an official, being in his fifties is really young.

So it was obviously difficult for him to be sent to Australia as a chief envoy. Where is Australia?
This is the farther south of Nanyang. The real sky is far away from the emperor, and it is thousands of miles away from the capital of Daming. The newspapers I read here are all newspapers published by Daming two months ago. It takes a trip. two months.

Even if it is far away, the key is that Australia is sparsely populated and sparsely populated.

In addition to the immigrants who were forced to migrate to Australia by the imperial court, there are only those businesses and individuals who are looking for gold overseas. The population of Australia as a whole is less than [-]. The key is that there are tens of thousands of Mongolian grasslands among them. people.

You said that being dispatched to such a place, Deng Nan's political future is basically over. If he didn't want to go back to his hometown to retire like this, he would have wanted to ask Emperor Hongzhi to come home and take care of his old age. .

"Ah~"

Sitting in her office, Deng Nan couldn't help sighing while looking at the map of Australia, and looking at the map of Daming, the distance between each other is really too far.

"If you come here, let's settle down. Fortunately, everything in Australia is up to you now."

One thing that Deng Nan is thankful for is that in Australia, he is the real emperor of the land. He not only has the final say in administration, but also has the final say in military affairs.

Daming has a [-]-strong regular army stationed in Australia, and he, Deng Nan, has the authority to command this army.

There is no way, Australia is too far away from Daming, and the transmission of information is too slow, so it is natural to give enough power, so as to facilitate the management and rule of Australia.

This Australian chief envoy is almost equivalent to the governor of the Tang Dynasty, so it must not be like this for a long time. It can only be played like this during the transition period. At the same time, this chief envoy also has a term limit, and he has to change after one or two terms. Drop it, so as not to become a real emperor here, and then the tail will be too big to lose.

“Australia is still a good place~”

"Surrounded by the sea on all sides, the vast and boundless sea area is the best natural barrier. There are no powerful enemies here, so we can develop with confidence at that time."

"The only thing to worry about is these niggers in Australia."

Deng Nan looked at the map and pondered carefully.

Now that he has come here to be the chief envoy, he still needs to do a good job in what he should do, maybe one day he can be transferred back to Daming, and he will still have a chance to be promoted at that time.

"Report~"

At this time, someone hurriedly came and shouted.

"What happened?"

Deng Nan asked.

"I just received news that black ghosts attacked immigrants in the South River State area, and some black ghost tribes were also found in the North River State."

"Also, it was reported today that two prairie boys shot and killed twelve black ghosts."

Come and report immediately.

"Nigger again!"

When Deng Nan heard this, she couldn't help frowning immediately.

When immigrants migrated to Australia, they naturally invaded the land that originally belonged to the local aborigines. These local aborigines are nomadic people who live by hunting and gathering and live a very primitive tribal life.

Some people may hear that nomads will be associated with being able to conquer wars and have a strong folk style, but this is not the case for the aborigines in Australia.

There are no horses in Australia, and the animal resources in Australia are extremely rich. The kangaroos alone are enough to feed the aborigines here, not to mention the large ostrich animals like emu.

So although the aborigines in Australia are nomads, their nomadism is completely different from other nomads on the earth.

The nomadic peoples on the grasslands graze cattle and sheep, and live by water and grass. Although the aborigines in Australia are nomadic, they do not herd any animals themselves. The rich resources here allow them to hunt in one place, Animals in one place migrate to the next place after hunting.

In short, here in Australia, the aborigines have lived such a life in the long history, always in the primitive tribal stage, without any development.

Accompanied by the arrival of immigrants from the Ming Dynasty, the immigrants wantonly occupied the land here in Australia, grazing cattle and sheep, reclaiming fields, and planting farms, which naturally caused conflicts with the local aborigines.

From time to time, immigrants were attacked by these natives, and some casualties occurred.

This made him, the chief minister of Australia, very troubled. There are only [-] troops in his hands, and Australia is sparsely populated. It is not an easy task to wipe out these aborigines. Weary to death.

"It's no way to go on like this."

"The conditions here in Australia are good, whether it is to develop animal husbandry or agriculture, but the existence of these niggers will seriously affect the development of Australia, and they must be cleaned up and expelled."

Deng Nan frowned, and fell into deep thought.

At present, Australia's dependence on Daming is still very high, and Daming needs to continuously transport food and other materials to Australia.

At present, the only thing that Australia can export is kangaroo meat and kangaroo skin, but the taste of kangaroo meat is not good, the smell is too strong, and the texture of kangaroo skin is also very ordinary, so the sales volume is very poor.

This is also a headache for Deng Nan. Australia is not only far away from the emperor, but there is also very little oil and water, and there is nowhere to make money.

"Two prairie boys shot and killed twelve niggers~"

Soon, Deng Nan thought of what he just said.

"Is it possible to mobilize the power of immigrants and let immigrants shoot and drive these niggers?"

"As long as there is money, there should be people going back to do this. There are many grassland immigrants here. They are tough folk, brave and good at fighting. With a little organization, they are also a force. It will be much easier to expel these niggers."

Thinking of this, Deng Nan's eyes couldn't help but start to light up.

"Yeah, what to do~"

"There are too few troops, and there are many places that need to be used, but these immigrants basically don't have much to do now, so it is good for them to earn extra money."

"Come on~"

"Issuing an order in my name, all people in Australia, as long as they can take out a nigger's head, they can exchange three silver dollars from the Australian Chief Envoy!"

Soon, later generations were criticized by historians for being useless, scolded as inhumane, without any humanity, and the policy of genocide was released from the Australian chief envoy to all parts of Australia.

A local aborigine's head can be exchanged for three silver dollars, and this one silver dollar is one tael of silver, that is to say, the head of this local aborigine can be worth three taels of silver.

This price is not too high. When the Ming army is fighting outside, it will easily exceed this amount, but the opponents of the Ming army are all well-known and powerful clans on this earth.

The local aborigines in Australia are all war scum, primitive tribes who only use stone knives, spears and boomerangs. The key is that they don't even have war horses.

As soon as the news came out, the immigrants in the entire Australian region became excited, and the job of earning money came.

　Will it be too cruel?
