Chapter 2212 Is it possible that you are the Huns?
The largest city in Nanyun Province is located in Xijigang on the east coast of the Black Sea.
This Ming Dynasty's most important port city in the Black Sea region became an important hub for east-west trade after it was incorporated into the Ming Empire from Nanyun Province.
Various goods from the Ming Empire were continuously transported here through convenient road transportation, and then sold by sea to Eastern Europe, the Mediterranean, Western Europe, the Middle East and other places.
Compared with sea transportation, although the cost of land transportation is much more expensive, it is safer.
The Ming Empire cracked down on bandits very severely. There have been no bandits for more than 20 years. The horse bandits, bandits, etc. that used to run rampant in the Western Regions, Central Asia, West Asia and other regions have long since disappeared.
In addition, under the strong rule of the Ming Empire, minority tribes in various places did not dare to rob passing merchants, so the safety of land transportation was very high.
Especially with the opening of the railway, not only the speed is fast, but the transportation volume has also greatly increased, and the freight has plummeted, which has further aggravated the prosperity of the West Pole Port.
Generally speaking, there are certain risks in maritime transportation, especially hurricanes, which have a great impact on maritime transportation. Ships have accidents at sea every year, so many businesses will choose safer road transportation.
Goods from the mainland of the Ming Empire flowed to the west, and slaves, wine, ham, cheese, various specialties, etc. from the west were also continuously transported to the Ming Empire through here.
Xijigang, which was originally just a small fishing village, quickly became the largest city in the western part of the Ming Dynasty in just over 20 years, with a population of more than 2 million.
There are many large cities in the Ming Empire with a population of more than 2 million, but among provinces such as Black Earth Province, Nanyun Province, Hezhong Province, and Xiyu Province, there is only this West Pole Port.
It is very rare for a western province with immigrant towns as its main group to have such a huge port.
This is mainly related to the strong business atmosphere in Xijigang. Here, almost all the famous commercial banks in the Ming Empire will set up branches here.
Although it is not as big as Tianjin Shili Yangxing, it is still as big as Liuqili.
As a city that prospers due to trade, Nanyun Province has always followed the trend of the Ming Empire, and any new things will be spread to Xiji Port as soon as possible.
Now the most popular movie in the Ming Empire was brought to Xijigang right away by businessmen who saw business opportunities.
As night falls at the Xiji Port Stadium, there are already a large number of people holding expensive tickets here waiting to enter to watch the now very famous movie.
Here in the capital, the cheapest ticket from the conscientious Daming Pictures is only 1 tael of silver, but after selling the copyright to other businessmen, here in Xijigang, even the cheapest ticket now costs 3 taels of silver.
, it tripled directly.
Some tickets in good locations are even more expensive. Tickets costing just a few dozen taels or hundreds of taels of silver are really beyond the reach of ordinary people.
However, the most indispensable thing in Xiji Port, which has a strong commercial atmosphere, is rich people. There are countless large and small firms, merchants, factory owners, farmers, manor owners, etc., all of whom are rich.
Even ordinary people here in Nanyun Province have relatively good incomes.
Backed by a prosperous trade route, you can make money casually.
So even though the ticket price is very expensive, it still can't dampen everyone's enthusiasm for the movie. They bring their families and come to watch the movie in droves.
Not only were the tickets sold out on that day, but all the tickets for the next few days were sold out, which also made the businessman who purchased the film rights make a huge profit.
The huge stadium was crowded with people and very lively.
Unlike the capital of the Ming Dynasty, which is mainly composed of Han people, here in Xijigang, local Caucasians and Georgians account for more than 60% of the population.
At that time, the Ming Empire cut the South Caucasus region from the Ottoman Empire, and the army destroyed the Kingdom of Georgia, eventually forming Nanyun Province.
For the locals, not only did they not suffer any harm, but they lived a good life because they relied on the powerful Ming Empire. The population grew very fast, and a large number of people migrated to Black Earth Province and other places to consolidate the Ming Empire.
Rule over border areas.
At this moment, in the huge stadium, looking up, there are tall Georgians and Caucasians with high noses, blue eyes, fair skin, and tall bodies everywhere.
And beside them, there are often a large number of Ming people.
Although these people have huge differences in appearance, there is no gap between them. They talk and laugh with each other and get along very harmoniously. No racial or ethnic barriers can be seen at all.
They speak Ming dialect, wear the same Ming clothes, and may not look like Han people, but in other aspects they are no different from Han people in Ming Dynasty.
To say which minority tribe has the greatest affinity for the Ming Empire, it must be the Caucasians and Georgians here in Nanyun Province.
Before being included in the rule of the Ming Empire, the people here were bullied by the powerful tribes from all directions. This was the source of slaves. The men went to be warriors, and the women were sent to the backyards of powerful people.
They were weak and unable to control their own destiny. Until the Ming Empire ruled here, it gave them the confidence, security, dignity and wealth of citizens of a powerful empire. From now on, they no longer have to worry about being robbed and used as slaves at home.
.
You can get rich by working hard with your own hands and live a good life that you could never imagine before.
It is natural that the local people in Nanyun Province are the most aligned with the Ming Empire. There is no longer a distinction between Caucasians and Georgians here, only the common consciousness and concepts of the Ming people.
If anyone says that they are Caucasian or Georgian, they will look at you anxiously and tell you again and again that they are from Ming Dynasty.
The movie is playing, and the magnificent movie is very attractive, making people excited and excited to watch it.
Everyone at the scene was deeply attracted by movies. This novel thing has been destined to crush traditional dramas, operas, etc. since its emergence.
The stadium can accommodate tens of thousands of people, whether they are Han Chinese, locals, old people, children, women, etc., at this moment, everyone is immersed in the world of the movie.
Immerse yourself in the great and evocative history of the early Western Han Dynasty.
The Han Empire, which suffered from foreign humiliation, under the leadership of the great Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, led by Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, set off a glorious history of resisting foreign invasion for decades.
He gave a country unprecedented dignity.
He gave a nation the confidence to stand tall for thousands of years.
His national title became the eternal name of a great nation.
As the narration's passionate voice sounded, the movie slowly drew to a close, and suddenly the entire stadium burst into bursts of applause.
"Bravo!"
"Yeah, it's really beautiful, but it's not enough. I want to watch it again. I have to buy a ticket to watch it again."
"Me too, me too, the people watching are excited and excited."
"The scene of thousands of troops galloping on the grassland is unforgettable."
"No wonder this movie is very popular all over the Ming Dynasty. It is really very spiritual and well worth the money spent."
"It is worth it. Although it is a bit more expensive, the money spent is not unfair. Now we finally know why we are Han people. It turns out that our ancestors were so great in history and created such a glorious history.
"
"Yes, it is indeed too great. Those Huns are too abominable. They always go south frequently and plunder the borders. They are greedy. They are like hungry wolves who cannot have enough to feed."
"To deal with a hungry wolf, you must use a stick and hit the wolf hard. Only by making the wolf feel scared will the wolf not dare to have any plans against you."
"That's right, we Ming soldiers are the patron saints of our Ming Empire, guarding the peace of our empire and keeping out all tigers, leopards, jackals, and so on."
"I'm going to sign up to join the army, become a glorious soldier, protect my family and the country, and serve the country with loyalty!"
In the stadium, as the movie ended, many spectators started discussing it one after another.
Juren Sun Kui, Li Ting, Yang Benren, and Zhang Wenhua were also constantly clapping and applauding, lamenting the wonderfulness of the movie and saying it was so enjoyable that it made people excited to watch it.
Among the four candidates, only Sun Kui is Han. Li Ting, Yang Benren and Zhang Wenhua are all natives of Nanyun Province. They are all very young, only in their 20s. They grew up in the new era of the Ming Empire.
, although they are not Han people, they are no different from Han people in all other aspects.
"These Huns were really abominable, greedy and ambitious, and they were eventually defeated."
Li Ting said very excitedly.
"Where did these Huns go in the end?"
Yang Benren thought for a while and said.
"According to historical records, after the Huns were defeated by the Han Empire, they began to migrate westward, possibly to the Western Regions, Central Asia and other regions."
Zhang Wenhua thought for a while and said.
"The Western Regions, Central Asia and other regions, aren't they the current Western Regions Province, Hezhong Province, Central Asia Province, Nanyun Province and other places?"
When Li Ting heard this, he thought about it and said.
"Yes, according to historical records, after the Huns were defeated, they migrated westward in large numbers to places such as Kangju, which is now Central Asia and other regions."
Zhang Wenhua nodded and said.
"In that case, is it possible that we people are the descendants of the Huns in history?"
After hearing this, Li Ting thought for a while and said. His words also made several people around him slightly stunned.
