Suzaku City on the southeast coast of Australia is currently the largest city in Australia.
Of course, although it is said to be a city, it is actually only the size of a small county, and this small county is still very simple and primitive. Except for one main road, which is paved with cement, there are some houses built with reinforced concrete on both sides.
In addition, there are still wooden houses everywhere in Zhuque City, and most of them are low wooden sheds.
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 the internal organs, the entire Suzaku City has everything.
Commodities from the north and south of the Ming Dynasty, as well as overseas, are traded here. Many trading houses have opened offices here. Ships come from Nanyang every day, and even ships leave from here to Nanhuangzhou every half month.
, or there may be a ship returning to the Ming Dynasty from the South Golden Continent via Zhuque City.
Even the First Bank of Ming Dynasty has opened a branch here in the main city to facilitate the exchanges between merchants and to facilitate the daily life of Australian immigrants.
In addition, the Ming Dynasty also set up the Australian Chief Envoy in Zhuque City, turning the entire huge Australia into a province, and appointed officials to come to Australia to manage Australian immigrants, collect taxes, etc.
This is also the biggest change since the Ming Dynasty Hongzhi fifteen years ago, which is the large-scale appointment of floating officials to go overseas. There are a large number of floating officials going to these areas in Nanyang, the Western Regions, Hezhong, Grassland, Liaodong, Australia, and Huangjinzhou.
At the same time, many new provinces were established one after another.
For example, on the Nanyang side, in addition to the original four provinces of Luzon, Jiaozhi, Xianglin, and Zhenghe, Bei'ao Province has been set up in the vast island area from Nanyang to Australia. The jurisdiction is very large, almost encompassing
It includes Balni Island, a large group of islands east of Java.
Of course, Bei'ao Province is also sparsely populated now. Only a few islands are open to the public. 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 to Southern Gold.
continent.
Northern Australia Province, Australia Province, and Golden Continent also have three provinces, North Golden Continent Province, Middle Golden Continent Province and Southern Golden Continent. Each of them assigned a large number of officials to Huangjin Continent and started ocean trade from Tianjin.
He took over the entire Golden Continent from his own hands, consolidated the Ming Dynasty's rule over these areas, and at the same time gradually carried out standardized management.
Of course, the most important reason is to start levying taxes on the Golden Continent. There are so many gold mines here that a huge tax can be levied every year.
Deng Nan is the first chief envoy of Australia Province. He is not very old, only in his early fifties. Well, for an official, being in his fifties is really very young.
So being sent to Australia as the chief envoy was obviously a very difficult thing for him to accept. What kind of place is Australia?
This is further south in Nanyang. The real sky is high and the emperor is far away. It is thousands of miles away from the capital of the Ming Dynasty. The newspapers you see here are all newspapers published by the Ming Dynasty two months ago. It takes only one visit.
Two months' time.
It doesn’t matter if it’s far away, the key is that Australia is a vast land with few people.
In addition to the immigrants who were forced to migrate to Australia by the imperial court, there are only those companies and individuals who are gold mining overseas. The entire population of Australia is now less than 100,000. The key is that there are tens of thousands of Mongolian grasslands among them.
people.
You said that after being dispatched to such a place, Deng Nan's political future was basically over. If he hadn't wanted to go back to his hometown to retire, he would have wanted to ask Emperor Hongzhi for an invitation to go home and retire.
.
"well"
Sitting in his office, Deng Nan couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the map of Australia. Then he looked at the map of Ming Dynasty. The distance between them was really too far.
"Just make peace with what you have come to. The good thing is that Australia has the final say on everything now."
One thing that Deng Nan is thankful for is that here in Australia, he is the real local emperor. He has the final say not only in administrative matters, but also in military matters.
The Ming Dynasty had a regular army of 2,000 men stationed in Australia, and he, Deng Nan, had the power to command this army.
There is no way, Australia is too far away from the Ming Dynasty, and the information transmission is too slow. Naturally, it must be given enough power, so as to facilitate the management and rule in 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 will be replaced after one or two terms.
Get rid of it, lest you become a real local emperor here, and then you will be too big to get rid of it.
“Australia is still a good place”
"Surrounded by the sea, the vast and boundless sea area is the best natural barrier. There are no powerful enemies here, and we can develop with confidence when the time comes."
"The only ones we have to worry about are these local niggas in Australia."
Deng Nan looked at the map and pondered carefully.
Now that I have come here to be the chief envoy, I still have to do what I have to do well. Maybe one day I can be transferred back to the Ming Dynasty, and then I will have the opportunity to be promoted.
"Report"
At this time, someone came hurriedly and shouted.
"What happened?"
Deng Nan asked.
"I just received news that there are black ghosts attacking immigrants in Nanhe State. In addition, some tribes of black ghosts have been found in Beihe State."
"In addition, someone reported today that two prairie boys shot twelve niggers."
Those who come will report immediately.
"Nigger again!"
When Deng Nan heard this, he couldn't help but frown.
When immigrants migrated to Australia, they naturally occupied the land that originally belonged to the local indigenous people. These local indigenous people are nomadic people, making a living by hunting and gathering, and living a very primitive tribal life.
Some people may associate nomadic people with being good at conquering and fighting and having strong folk customs, but this is not the case with the indigenous people in Australia.
There are no horses in Australia, and Australia is extremely rich in animal resources. Kangaroos alone are enough to feed the indigenous people here, not to mention large ostriches such as emus.
Therefore, although the Australian aborigines are nomadic people, their nomadism is completely different from other nomadic peoples on the earth.
The nomadic people on the grasslands herd cattle and sheep and live in pursuit of water and grass. Although these indigenous people in Australia are nomadic, they do not herd any animals. The rich resources here allow them to hunt in various places.
When the animals in one place are finished hunting, they move to the next place.
In short, here in Australia, the indigenous people have lived this way throughout their long history, always in the primitive tribal stage without any development.
With the arrival of the Ming Dynasty immigrants, the immigrants aggressively occupied the land here in Australia, grazing cattle and sheep, cultivating fields, and planting farmers. Naturally, they came into conflict with the local indigenous people.
From time to time, immigrants were attacked by these natives, resulting in some casualties.
This made him, the chief envoy of Australia, very troubled. He only had an army of 2,000 people, and Australia was a vast and sparsely populated area. It was not an easy task to wipe out these indigenous people. Just traveling back and forth required a lot of effort.
Die from exhaustion.
"This is not the way to go."
"The conditions here in Australia are good, whether it is the development of animal husbandry or agriculture, but the existence of these niggas will seriously affect the development of Australia, and they must be cleared and expelled."
Deng Nan frowned and fell into deep thought.
At present, Australia is still very dependent on the Ming Dynasty. It needs the Ming Dynasty to continuously transport food and other materials to Australia. The fastest update mobile version::
At present, the only things that Australia can export are kangaroo meat jerky and kangaroo skin. However, the taste of kangaroo meat is not good, the smell is too strong, and the texture of kangaroo skin is also very average, so sales are very low.
This is also a headache for Deng Nan. Not only is Australia far away from the emperor, but there is also very little oil and water. There is nowhere to make money.
"Two prairie boys shot twelve niggers."
Soon, Deng Nan thought of what he just said.
"Can we mobilize the power of immigrants and let them shoot and deport these niggas?"
"As long as there is money, someone should go back and do this. There are many grassland immigrants here. They have strong folk customs and are brave and good at fighting. With a little organization, they can also be a force. It will be much simpler to expel and eliminate these niggas."
Thinking of this, Deng Nan's eyes couldn't help but start to shine.
"Yeah, just do it"
"The army is too small and needs to be used in many places, but these immigrants basically don't have much to do now, so it would be good for them to make extra money."
"coming"
"I issue an order in my name that anyone in Australia who can produce a nigger's head can exchange it for three silver dollars from the Chief Minister of Australia!"
Soon, later generations were criticized by historians as being worthless, scolded as inhumane, without any humanity, and the policy of a genocide was announced from the Chief Secretary of Australia to all parts of Australia.
A local aboriginal head can be exchanged for three silver dollars, and this silver dollar is one tael of silver. In other words, this local aboriginal head can be worth three taels of silver.
This price is not very high. When the Ming army is fighting outside, it will easily exceed this price. However, the opponents of the Ming army are all famous and powerful families on this earth.
The local aborigines here in Australia are all scum of war, primitive tribes who can 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, immigrants throughout Australia became excited, and there was a job of making money.
