Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 281 Flickering Lame!

Facts have proved that Pei Tugou's worries are superfluous. Whether it is the process of arresting people or the process of returning, everything is calm, so calm that even Pei Tugou has a feeling of doubting life.

It wasn't until Pei Tugou started to perform the second mission that he really encountered the resistance he imagined—a large number of Indian barbarians surrounded the sacred cows, trying to stop Pei Tugou and the Jinyi guards. There is quite a feeling that I would rather die than retreat.

Pei Tugou prefers this kind of tough guy, especially a tough guy who dares to stand up to Jin Yiwei's pressure and still fight to the death.

"You can't capture the divine bull. This is the mount of the gods. If you capture the divine bull, you will offend the gods, and the gods will definitely punish you!"

"Vishnu will surely rain down the wrath of terror!"

"God Brahma will punish you!"

"Shiva will punish you sinners, and the emperor of you sinners will surely suffer Shiva's wrath for this!"

At the beginning, Pei Tugou was still listening to these Indian savages bragging with great interest. After all, they can make all kinds of messy things into gods, and every god is very bragging, which makes Pei Tu The dog and others felt as if they were listening to cross talk.

But after hearing the term "emperor of sinners", Pei Tugou, who was still thinking about how to deal with these people, couldn't laugh anymore.

Someone scolded the emperor in front of Jin Yiwei, and this person was not a commoner of the Ming Dynasty...

Pei Tugou's face immediately turned cold, and he shouted angrily: "Clear the field! No one will be left behind!"

As we all know, the fate of tough guys is often not very good, and it is difficult for flesh and blood to fight against muskets. Therefore, when Tu Peigou ordered to start clearing the field, these people just stood in front of Pei Tugou and others, bragging about the existence of Tianzhu gods. How powerful the Indian barbarians collectively received the meal.

Then, the rest of the Tianzhu barbarians dispersed in a rush, without the look of death as before.

This kind of change made Pei Tugou a little confused.

What about tough guys?
How about death as home?
Where is the god who is so awesome?
That's it?

Also feeling suspicious of life is Zhu Jinsong, the emperor of Ming Dynasty.

It's not that Zhu Jinsong didn't think that there would be a conflict.

In fact, Zhu Jinsong had already considered the possibility of conflict when he sent Pei Tugou and others to arrest the Brahmin monks at the very beginning, and even the troops sent to support Pei Tugou and others were ready. ready.

However, Zhu Jinsong did not expect that the process of arresting the Brahmin monks was easy, but instead a conflict occurred during the arrest of the cattle.

Of course, to Zhu Jinsong, the great Ming emperor, it doesn't really matter whether something went wrong when arresting the Brahman monks or when the cattle were caught. The important thing is that Zhu Jinsong finally found a perfect excuse, By the way, the promise to invite Louis XVI and George III to eat beef was also fulfilled.

Holding a steak in his hand, Zhu Jinsong gestured to Louis XVI and George III before saying with a smile, "Have you seen it? This is called being famous."

"It's the same with Europa. If you have the truth, don't care who you beat. In the end, no one else can say anything. If you win, the whole Europa will praise you. If you don't win, the whole Europa will praise you." Europa will also turn to you in my heart."

"Like what you did to the Habsburg family before, it was actually somewhat reckless. You should find a better excuse."

Louis XVI frowned and said, "A better excuse?"

Zhu Jinsong nodded and said: "Of course, for example, your French soldiers ran to the territory of the Habsburg family and disappeared inexplicably. You want to search and rescue your French soldiers. This is a very reasonable reason, right? ?”

"Or, you should have someone bury something on the land of the Habsburg family to prove that it is your French territory since ancient times. Isn't this reason reasonable?"

"However, the film has already started anyway, so it's meaningless to talk about it now. Let's try the beef steadily. I've always been curious about what Tianzhu's beef tastes like."

George III held the steak in his hand thoughtfully, and said: "We have a colony overseas in England. If we sell this colony, I feel somewhat reluctant. After all, you know our France. Very small."

"However, this colony is in the hands of our England, and its size is a problem, because there are copper mines on this colony, so it is likely to affect the friendship and harmony among our five benevolent people. What do you think, I How to do it?"

Zhu Jinsong's heart moved, and he asked, "Copper mining? Sri Lanka?"

George III nodded and said, "Yes, the copper mine in Sri Lanka. Actually, I don't care much about that copper mine, but I do care about the land there. I hope you can help me find a way?"

Zhu Jinsong laughed suddenly, and said: "Sri Lanka, of course, is your colony of England, and Ming Dynasty has no intention of robbing Sri Lanka, so what do you have to worry about?"

"How about this, you can take advantage of the fact that your British East India Company has not left Tianzhu, recruit some laborers here, and then let these laborers go to mine for you."

"As for how to set the price of ore or copper, I think this is a problem between Daming and the Ministry of Households of England, and it's not something we should care about."

"What we should be most concerned about now is the beef in front of us—if it is later, I am afraid it will be completely cold."

Hearing what Zhu Jinsong said, the heart that George III had been hanging around since returning from Daming was finally relieved.

Sri Lanka does have copper mines, and the reserves are still very large. If they are all mined, England should make a fortune. George III is definitely unwilling to give up Sri Lanka.

However, George III also knew very well that even if Tianzhu had not been sold to Daming, England would not have the ability to keep Sri Lanka.

In terms of ground advantages, Ming can attack Tianzhu from both land and sea at any time. As long as Tianzhu is captured, Ming's navy can attack Sri Lanka from both directions of Tianzhu and Old Port at the same time.

In terms of sea superiority, Ming's warships have evolved into ironclad warships, and now England's warships are still mainly wooden sailboats, and the exploration of ironclad ships has only begun to study how to wrap iron sheets, and has not yet used steam engines on warships.

In this case, once the film is opened with Ming Dynasty, even if England has Tianzhu as a base, it can only be shy and passive.

Therefore, George III was actually entangled all the way.

Now I heard the two bad moves Zhu Jinsong said again-the soldiers disappeared and sold things as evidence.

George III was really afraid that Zhu Jinsong would play such a trick in Sri Lanka, so he had to ask this painful question.

When the whole cow banquet was almost finished, George III said: "By the way, how many laborers are you Ming going to recruit here in Tianzhu? How many of them are reserved for us in England?"

Zhu Jinsong hummed and said: "Da Ming recruits labor, but there is no upper limit at all—you should know that Da Ming now needs labor in many places, such as building railways and mining. Not to mention Tianzhu, even if all the people on Xiaopoqiu were recruited to Daming to work as laborers, it might not be enough."

"Of course, that's what I said. If there were so many laborers, Daming would have to worry about not having enough food."

"How about this, before the officials sent by the Ministry of Civil Affairs arrive, you England should first recruit workers from the copper mines. This time is about half a year to a year. How much you can recruit depends on your ability. Daming owns all the workers, how about that?"

George III nodded, agreeing to Zhu Jinsong's proposal.

Half a year or a year is enough time for England to recruit enough laborers here in Tianzhu, and then send them all to Sri Lanka to mine copper mines, and then sell the copper ore to Daming later, it is estimated that England can also eat this wave full.

Zhu Jinsong smiled again and said to Louis XVI: "What about France? Don't you need labor?"

Louis XVI was stunned and asked, "France also needs labor?"

After asking, Louis XVI scolded himself for being too stupid in his heart, while hesitantly said: "We France can also come to Tianzhu to recruit labor?"

Zhu Jinsong looked at Louis XVI with eyes of caring for the mentally retarded, and asked, "Does France not need labor? Why can't France come here to recruit labor?"

"The labor here, Ming Dynasty can't run out of it for a while, even if you add England, you can't use it up, even if you count France, you may not use it up."

"The point is that you France must need labor now - if Napoleon's attack on the Habsburg family goes smoothly, you France must not start building roads?"

"Road construction is a very dangerous thing. There are many road sections or mountains that are very dangerous. If your own people suffer too much casualties, your French court doesn't have to think about how to explain to the people? If it is replaced by labor, you still use it. Does it hurt?"

Louis XVI gave Zhu Jinsong a grateful glance, and said, "Thank you, I know what to do."

Zhu Jinsong smiled and nodded.

Does the Ming Dynasty need barbarians from Tianzhu as people?

It does not need.

If all the barbarians in Tianzhu were turned into laborers, Daming would not be able to digest them in a short while—this is not hundreds of thousands of laborers, but tens of millions. Such a huge number of laborers is just enough to feed them. The problems are enough to cause headaches.

Therefore, instead of Da Ming having a headache because of these laborers, it is better to let England and France also help Da Ming share part of the pressure.

As for whether these laborers will steal the jobs of the English and French, will they bring the caste system with them after they are recruited back, and will they cause other troubles...

Does Zhu Jinsong need to care about these?

In the final analysis, it was because of the serious shortage of people in Daming.

If the number of people in Ming Dynasty can exceed [-] million, Zhu Jinsong will dare to send troops to Sri Lanka now, grab the meat from England, and let the people of Ming Dynasty go to Sri Lanka to plant tea and mine mines along the way. If it can exceed [-] million , Zhu Jinsong dares to take down the entire Europa now.

The problem is that the number of people in Daming is not enough. According to the calculation of the Ministry of Households, even in the most ideal situation, it has just exceeded 12 million in the [-]th year of the Holy Emperor. The needs of the country cannot be met, let alone Sri Lanka or the whole of Europa.

Therefore, Zhu Jinsong now hopes that they can recruit more laborers. It is best to repair the roads on Europa while sharing the pressure for Daming, and make some troubles by the way.

A messy Europa is a good Europa.

Seeing that George III and Louis XVI were both limped, Zhu Jinsong said with a smile: "I once published an article in the "Daming Newspaper" called "If you want to get rich, you must first build roads." Have you read this article?"

Louis XVI nodded and said, "Of course I have read it, and I think this article is very reasonable. If all the roads can be repaired, it will indeed speed up the economic development."

Speaking of this, Louis XVI couldn't help but feel a little sad: "But, you know, France hasn't even completely solved the problem of feces, let alone repairing roads."

George III also said: "The situation in England is similar. For England now, the most important thing is to clean up the feces and ferment them into fertilizer. As for road construction, it can only be delayed later. gone."

However, Zhu Jinsong let out a chuckle and said, "Use labor when things go wrong. With so many laborers, whether you want to clean up the feces or build roads, can't you greatly speed up?"

"After the road is repaired, your country's economy will develop greatly, at least in Europe, it will be much better than other countries' economic development."

"When the economy improves, people's lives will become better. When people's lives improve, they will gradually begin to pursue better sanitation and living environments. With a better living environment, they will also drive economic growth." If you develop, you will have more money in your hands, and your rule in your respective countries will become more stable, and these are all complementary."

George III said gratefully: "Thank you, thank you for telling us so much today - before that, although we would recruit some laborers, those laborers were sold to the Silly Eagle to grow cotton. I never thought labor could be used to build roads.”

Zhu Jinsong laughed and said: "Labor is very useful. It depends on what you think. As long as you use it well, labor can enable you to achieve leapfrog development. If you don't use it well, say It might cause you some trouble."

"I really don't want to be an emperor"
