"Master Yu, I, Zhao Yan, am a very rough man. I don't understand what you mean. Just say it."
Zhao Yan didn't quite understand it at first glance.
"General, there are still 9,000 soldiers in Jinghua City. Of these 9,000, one thousand will be left behind, and the remaining 8,000 will be led out by the general and stationed under the city. However, this army cannot be in the name of the Jinghua Army.
It is a local civilian army that serves the king."
Yu Qian continued.
Although he was a little confused at first, when he heard this, Zhao Yan's eyes lit up and he understood a little bit.
Yu Qian wanted to recruit common people to pretend to be soldiers guarding the city, and then let him, these well-trained warriors, pretend to be King Qin's army outside the city.
In this way, when the Youzhou Army saw that the defense force in Jinghua City was still very strong and there were other troops outside the city, they did not have the courage to openly rebel.
As long as the other King Qin troops arrive, King Zhao will be unable to do so even if he wants to.
really!
When it comes to strategy, these literati have a good idea!
"I understand, sir, I will definitely complete this task!"
Zhao Yan responded excitedly and took action.
Next, Zhao Yan ordered eight thousand soldiers to take off their military uniforms and secretly took them out of the city. These replaced military uniforms were put on the civilians newly recruited by Yu Qian, and then they quickly did some military training
.
In an instant, tens of thousands of people were already standing on the city walls of Jinghua. Since they had never participated in the war, they were still energetic enough and should be able to fool around.
Everything is ready, now we are waiting for King Zhao's army to arrive.
...
Compared with the turmoil of the Warring States Period in China, Australia has been very peaceful. After the "popularization" of private mercenaries, Australia has not had any armed conflicts so far.
Although there was peace, Xie Fang was not satisfied with this.
After the first batch of "immigration operations", the motivation of people from all over the world to move to Australia was no longer so strong.
As the immigrant population decreases, the flow of funds to Australia also decreases. Most of Australia is still undeveloped. Xie needs more funds to build this paradise.
He really wanted to ask Ji Yu Qingyangshuo, but because of his initial "attentiveness", he lost too much face in front of Qingyangshuo. He didn't want to ask for help directly, but wanted to make some achievements first.
, seek help again, so that your face will look better.
After thinking for a long time, I finally came up with a solution that was not a solution.
purchase!
You can’t recruit people, but you can still buy them!
Now Xie Fang has begun to open his eyes to the world and has a certain understanding of the world's situation.
He heard that the British and French would sell Africans to other continents on the other side of the world to make profits, so why couldn't he buy these slaves to Australia?
As long as there is a population, wasteland will naturally be developed, and at the same time, the market will become larger. Once there is a huge market, there will be no fear of wealthy people not investing in Australia!
Just do it!
Although Xie Fang could not contact the slave traders who sold black slaves at all, there were many Westerners in Australia. After their introduction, Xie Fang quickly connected with these slave traders.
When these slave traders heard that Xie Fang was interested in buying slaves, they were naturally very willing. Not only because the price offered by Xie Fang was higher, but more importantly, the route from Africa to Australia was comparable to the route from Africa.
The route to America is much safer.
After all, there are no pirates!
With the opening of the Age of Discovery, the "special industry" of piracy slowly developed and expanded.
Based on the islands in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, they plundered the merchant ships passing by wantonly. Although governments of many countries have strangled them, they are still "wild fires that cannot be burned out, but spring breezes will revive them."
Under the temptation of huge profits, some people will always take risks.
In the past hundred years, countless merchant ships have been robbed by pirates. Even the slave trading fleets with strong armed forces have suffered a lot of losses at the hands of pirates.
And once they can do business in Australia, they don't have to go through the Atlantic Ocean.
There are very few merchant ships sailing in the Southwest Pacific and there are no pirates at all, so navigation is very safe.
Moreover, not only is it safe now, but in the long run, this route will also be safe.
There are few islands and reefs between Africa and Australia. This means that there will be very few places where pirates can establish a stronghold again. In addition, this place is extremely far away from the European mainland, and it is difficult for the African indigenous people who are relatively close to form an organization.
, pirates with fighting capabilities, so this is a long-term and stable route.
only.
Xie Fang didn't expect it at all.
His eagerness for quick success and quick gain really brought the wolf into the house.
Black slave?
If Liu Zheng were here, he would definitely criticize Xie Fang.
joke......
Black slaves in modern society are just like a bunch of primitive people.
