Wild North America 1846

Chapter 454 Please

Seeing Taiko-sama's shocked expression, Owari Yujing's white and chubby face flashed a complacent expression.

Statistics show that the resources needed by carnivorous peoples are 6 times that of vegetarian peoples.

However, the Fusang people, who are extremely simple and vegetarian people, need fewer resources and can support more people on the barren land. This is also helpless.

In Fusang country, when the annual climate is bad, one mu of spring wheat can only produce tens of catties, and sometimes there is not enough seed wheat. The higher yield of winter wheat is more than 110 to 120 catties. How many people can it feed?
On the black soil of the vast central Great Plains in North America, the normal yield of winter wheat per mu is about 250 to 280 catties, and the high yield is even more than 300 catties.

If chemical fertilizers are applied, the yield of winter wheat can reach 620-650 catties per mu, more than doubling the yield.

Similarly, 40 to 50 catties of wheat seeds are reserved for each mu of wheat, and the yield from being rich can be astonishing. Basically, one mu of land in a North American farm can be worth three mu of Fusang land. If chemical fertilizers are applied, the yield can be equal to 8 ~9 mu (Note; refers to the production after the wheat seeds are reserved).

especially annoying
The Great Plains of North America is not only fertile but also vast, with plenty of sunshine, rivers all over the place suitable for irrigated large tracts of land, and large tracts of forest and pastures suitable for grazing.

In the central and northern region of the Tang Empire, which is vast and less developed, there are about 600 to 700 million bison migrating and growing freely, and the sight of them in groups is spectacular.

Helena and Daxiu City organize large-scale hunting every spring and autumn, with a total of 60 to 70 bison hunted annually to prevent the disorderly expansion of the bison herd, which is another huge fortune.

And here, it's being repaired like garbage.

War horses are delicate and difficult animals to raise. Raising a horse requires 60 mu of land. This 60 mu does not refer to natural grassland, but the land cultivated artificially for alfalfa pasture and black beans.

Throughout the ages
To support large-scale cavalry operations is a matter of extremely consuming national power. Fusang can support cavalry operations on the scale of a thousand people, and the Qing Dynasty can support cavalry operations on the scale of tens of thousands, and the total number will not exceed 5.

A burly white man struggled to defend himself, but was dragged to the ground by a policeman next to him, his face was bloodied, and then he was violently stuffed into an iron cage and closed.

It would be a disaster if no one asked.

The shogunate has a standing army, with more than 5200 people in the banner, and more than 19300 royal family members, a total of more than 22600 people, plus their accompanying ministers, known as "the eighty thousand riders in the banner".

Regardless of whether it is white or Chinese, the Tang Empire has only one attitude towards those who are unwilling to work; that is to throw them into the labor camp for waste utilization.

Speaking of here
Owari Yukie couldn't help but stop talking, because he saw more than 10 mounted policemen and patrolmen coming to decompress a few homeless white men, took them to a police car parked on the side of the road, opened the iron cage behind the car, Drive the vagrant whites in.

"Can't you clear the streets?" Yi Xiuci is used to being overbearing in China. When has he been blocked on the streets?

Speaking of here
Owari Youjing smiled slightly, looking at Yi Xiuci who seemed to be listening to a myth, a sense of pride rose in his heart, it was the sense of superiority produced by the distinguished "Five Photographers" whose vision crushed, and continued to speak slowly;

The industrious Yamato people have been working hard all year round, and they can't eat rice balls mixed with wild vegetables and rice bran. When will many people in the various feudal clans not starve to death?

Owari Youjing hesitated for a moment, but thought that the matter was of great importance, so he had to add an explanation;

Anyone else traveling..."

The Great Tang Empire is better here, killing cattle and sheep can be eaten with energy, and 10,000+ wild horses are left there without bothering to ask, let alone take advantage of them. The contrast is too great, right?

"God Amaterasu, why didn't you give us such a fertile land?" Yiyi Xiuci lamented loudly with strong envy and hatred in his tone.

But it is certain that it will be an extremely astonishing number. "

"Ahem...Master Taige, please allow me to explain to you, in the Tang Empire, do not resist the police at any time, they will do whatever they say, otherwise they will not only be beaten, but may even be shot to death in the street." Ozhang Youjing He swallowed dryly, and said with a fearful expression.

Ichiko also shook his head again and again, unable to say anything.

Not to mention 10 cavalry, even more is not a problem.

in Fusang
To prepare for a major war, gathering 2 to [-] people can cause death, let alone gathering millions of people at once.

Don't just sit on both sides of the street or lie in the alleys if you have nothing to do. The control of the homeless population here is very strict.

Once the emperor's order is issued, the reserve military service in the provinces will gather to receive supplies and equipment, and they will soon be able to board the train and rush to the battlefield.

As an important member of the shogunate, Shuichi Yichi knew a little about the outside world, but that was all, it could only be considered superficial.

So far, no country has been able to force the Tang Empire to use its full strength in the war.

Yukyou Owari explained: "The police are not only dealing with whites, but Chinese and Mexicans also include us. There is no discrimination in this regard, it is just a routine inspection.

"My lord Taige, my lord;

It's really troublesome... A grown-up who came from a small place like Fusang country really doesn't know how many catties he has?

Generally speaking

Locally produced spiced beef jerky, corned beef jerky, canned beef, canned beef offal, cowhide mats, cowhide saddles, cowhide riding boots, horn combs, horn cups, horn handicrafts, cow hair carpets, etc. are exported to North America and Europe in large quantities, creating countless The stable income of tens of millions of Tang Yuan is one of the economic pillars of the region.

Some places that are not well taken care of, please my lord, I am causing you trouble. "

This scene

This trip to the United States and Europe is a decision made by the Five Photographers in the midst of the wave of innovation and voices surging in Fusang Island. They hope to open their eyes to see the world and find a way to govern Fusang for a long time.

So, answering this question is easy.

This is the case in one province, and the same is true in 49 provinces.

Yukyou Owari replied solemnly;

throughout the empire

The vastness and richness of the Tang Empire is unimaginable. In the Grand Canyon area of ​​​​Colorado Province alone, there are 10,000+ wild horses living there. No one cares about them, and no one has time to catch them.

During the war, it mainly relied on the military service of the various vassals, and the total mobilized force could reach 8. This army was headed by the shogun as the supreme commander, and it was the most powerful military support force for the shogunate rule.

Needless to say, in less than a month or two, the food stored by the shogunate for many years will be wiped out by people eating horse chews, so why fight?

Just thinking of this makes Yixiuci feel the urge to cry...

After listening to the introduction in the car, a look of disbelief appeared on the face of Xing Shu, and he was speechless for a while, watching the car moving forward on the bustling street, and the trams full of passengers passing by.

No matter how many people there are, it will be impossible to play.

"What about the war horses? I heard that the Tang Empire's cavalry made great achievements in battle, and the Europeans also praised them very much. In the event of a large-scale war, can there be so many war horses?" Yi Yixiu asked.

After hearing the police instructions, you must open your hands or raise them above your head to cooperate, indicating that there are no dangerous guns and knives on your body, and there is no malice.

"Master Taige, this is not a lie.

Yukyou Owari lived in the imperial capital of Chang'an City for many years. The world's information gathered here is very developed, and there are many articles reporting on the economic achievements of the empire.There are as many as 10 kinds of newspapers that can be read, including Chinese, English, French, and Spanish newspapers, but it is only sooner or later.

"My lord

Fusang's war horse is about the size of a donkey, and it is not qualified to be used as a draft horse in North America.

I don't know how many cavalry can be mobilized by the Great Tang Empire?

"To be honest, my lord, the Tang Empire has more than 17 pastures in the local provinces, with millions of high-quality horses in stock, and there are nearly 75 to 80 carriages in the society alone, which undertake the task of harvesting and transporting crops. "

In Chang'an, a metropolis like Los Angeles is better. In some remote towns and cities in the central and northern regions, Chinese cowboys with guns are very common.

Once it is found that you are unemployed and homeless, begging on the streets, the police will find you a place to stay.

Owari Youjing could only embarrassingly accompany the smiling face, slandering in his heart;

Another potential goal of the Five Photographers is to hold their thighs, and the target is one of the two kingdoms of the United Kingdom and the Datang Empire.

These impure wild horses are worthless and not easy to tame.

Nani...is it so dangerous?
Yuki Ichijo felt a little speechless, not to mention Hideji Ichijo sitting next to him, with anger looming on his face.

as far as I know;
In the South American desert expedition initiated by the Tang Empire among the people, the total number of Chinese armed pioneer groups, large and small, would be almost the same even without 10 cavalry. This is just a spontaneous colonization operation by the people.

Many Fusang people have never left the surrounding villages in their lives, and they rarely leave the homeland, let alone know the news from the outside world.

The Tang Empire has strategic reserve warehouses in all provinces, storing tens of thousands of tons of war preparations, ranging from firearms, artillery, tents, saddles, leather goods, kettles to clothing and reserve military rations, and also includes shovels, hoes, wood, carriages, etc. , including various grains and oilseeds, the scale of strategic reserves is very large.

This can't be blamed for his lack of information. In today's world, anyone who can know the news 500 kilometers away is considered a momentary hero.

Only when His Majesty the Emperor travels will mobilize troops, and the streets will be blocked by the Cuirassiers of the Royal Guards.

This is the reason why homeless people and beggars are not seen in the streets and alleys of the city here.

It's frustrating just thinking about it!
Also... the Tang Empire is so rich, why did they go to Fusang to squeeze us?

"Uh... Please wait patiently for a while, my lord, I am causing you trouble." Yukyou Owari forced a respectful smile on his face, and then patiently explained;
"Your Majesty Taige doesn't know that the officials of the Tang Empire don't have the rules of cleaning the streets when they travel. Even the prime minister or marshal of the cabinet can only wait patiently if they encounter traffic jams.

A loyal servant does not serve two masters!
Seeing the voices of the "respected kings" of the feudal clans in Fusang Island rising, and the civil forces demanding reform and reform surging, the shogunate, which has been passed down for thousands of years, feels a little bit unable to hold down the coffin, which makes the Wushe family extremely panicked.

This kind of strategic reserve is divided into two types: government reserve and royal reserve. There are no less than 200 various reserve warehouses, all over the provinces of the empire.

Some hungover guys, if they are not sober by the next morning, are also very likely to be taken back by the police, and their family members or friends must pay a fine before they can be taken back.

For example, during the wars in the three countries of Guatemala in Central America, the neighboring province of Costa Rica conducted a brief mobilization and quickly mobilized 2 troops to block the border, which took only three days.

The predecessor Guanbai Ichijoki and the feudal lord Iichi Hideji who were sitting in the car were very interested. It was the first time they saw a foreigner being beaten. These white people are all high-ranking local emperors in Fusang. Who would dare to beat them?

For a super empire with a vast territory like the Tang Empire, no matter where in the Americas there is turmoil, only local mobilization is needed, and there is no need for national mobilization at all. "

on a street
The vehicles in front were congested, and the two vehicles of the Fusang Legation had to stop.

"Owari-kun, can the Great Tang Empire really gather millions of troops at once?" Ichito Koki still couldn't believe it.

Therefore, when you are interrogated by the police here, you must not make unnecessary moves, let alone resist or try to confront, otherwise you will die miserably. "

As long as His Majesty the Emperor issued an imperial decree, Chinese cowboys from all provinces of the empire would come to report on their own horses and guns. There was no need for the military to worry about where the horses came from?

An ordinary war horse needs to eat [-] to [-] catties of fresh grass or hay every day, so what about a year?

"Eighty thousand horses" is a good way to say it. The shogunate didn't have that many war horses. If they were exhausted, they could gather 800 war horses.

Yiyi Xiuci turned his head with great interest, watched the police cars parked on the side of the road getting farther and farther away, and asked aloud; "It's really rude! But watching such violence is refreshing, why do they dare to fight? White people? Aren’t they afraid of protests from European countries?”

Therefore, if you are not accompanied by the staff of the embassy, ​​remember not to go out without authorization, so as not to cause accidents to the safety of adults.

Due to the bad influence of the lieutenant incident, some people at the bottom of the Tang Empire have a bad impression of Fusang, including some policemen, which will also affect the safety of the two adults and their entourage.

With the backward production in today's era, one mu of land is more than 200 catties of black beans. After some beans are planted, it is only enough for war horses to eat for more than 10 days.

Owari Youjing turned sideways and bowed, reporting with an apology on his face; "I'm really sorry, Taiko-sama, I can only ask you and the feudal lord to wait for a while, the traffic jam in a big city is a very helpless thing , too many vehicles."

At this time, the vehicles that were blocked in front moved, and the cars of the embassy also moved forward slowly. Presumably, the blockage just now was caused by these homeless white people.

All of these are new things that have never been seen or heard before, as if a new world has opened up before the eyes.

The Wusho family split from the Fujiwara family is still the power minister of the Fuso shogunate. Both of them are prosperous and both are prosperous.

Therefore, not only the reformists had to find a way out, but also the shogunate had to find a way out.

As representatives of the Five Photographers, the trip of the former Kanbai Ichijoki and the feudal lord Ichihideji is particularly important, and it is the last effort made for the shogunate to survive.

Before departure from Edo, Lord Guanbai Erjo Qijing deeply knelt down and said solemnly;
"Master Taige, please take care of everything!"

A simple sentence contains infinite vicissitudes and helplessness, ardent expectations and hopes, and too many words...
