Chapter 1734: The Great Migration of the South Seas
Envoys from the Li Dynasty in Annam came to the door and said that they were not happy staying in this miserable place in southern Annam and wanted to emigrate collectively overseas.
As for their original territory, it was naturally handed over to the boss, Datang.
This incident caught everyone in Datang unexpectedly!
At the beginning, they actually just wanted to build a Thang Long and build a railway!
I really never thought about moving the entire Mo Dynasty to Africa, and I never thought that the Li Dynasty would also come to our door and actively request to emigrate collectively to overseas.
This is a big deal!
Li Xuan himself was particularly speechless: "Isn't it great to be neighbors with us in the Tang Dynasty? How come everyone is not happy about it!"
When people from the Annan, Southern and Northern Dynasties heard this, they would probably curse in their hearts: "What a fart! I have been so damn unlucky for eight lifetimes that I have a neighbor like you, the Tang Dynasty."
If they hadn't fought westward and couldn't defeat them, they would have fought all the way west, to Burma, to India. In short, they would be far away from you Tang people, just like the Tatars.
However, the situation on the South Korean peninsula is not one where they will fight if they say they want to, and if they don’t want to fight, they won’t.
Although the matter sounds nonsense, it is actually not impossible to help the Northern and Southern Dynasties change places.
Isn't it just mobilizing ships to transport almost a million people? The total number of these people and their belongings is actually not much. There are so many ships in the Tang Dynasty that it will only take a few more round-trip transportations.
Besides, they are not subjects of the empire anyway, so there is no need to strictly follow the immigration ship regulations for transportation. As long as the tonnage is sufficient, they can be loaded casually.
And these indigenous people probably won't have any objections, and they may even ask for it themselves.
After all, Datang charges a fee for transporting it for them.
The land in Africa is given free of charge, but this is because they are exchanging the original land. Although the transportation cost will be low, the total number of people is large, so it is naturally not cheap.
If they don't have enough funds, they will have to repay through other methods later. Anyway, as long as there are people around, there is no fear that they will not be able to pay back the ticket money.
And if you help them move to another place, there is a greater advantage, that is, they will take everyone away together, and the place handed over to Datang will be an empty place.
At that time, even localization will be left, and it will be directly brought under local jurisdiction and the people will be relocated, just like the previous Central Asian region.
After considering many circumstances, Li Xuan officially approved the report from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and agreed to the request of Mo Chao and Li Chao to find a place for them in Africa, and it was far away. They did not want to stay with each other anymore.
After getting together, I thought about going to Africa to bully the black and white natives.
Considering that each of them only has a population of four and a half million, and considering the attrition caused by such large-scale sea transportation, it is enough that they will each have 400,000 people by the time they arrive in Africa.
Where can these people be arranged?
The place Li Xuan chose for them was central Africa, and he generously gave them each a relatively large piece of land. Of course, these places are still in the hands of the African natives, and it is up to them to take them over.
.
In order to prevent such a large-scale collective migration operation, Datang even set up a temporary group specifically to take charge of this matter. The entire migration operation will last for more than three years, with an average of at least 30 migrations per year.
Thousands of people.
This does not mean that there are not enough ships in the Tang Dynasty to transport them all at once. There are many ships in the Tang Dynasty. As long as they are squeezed together, they can be taken away in one wave.
But the problem is, if it is too crowded, many people will die, and what will these people eat and wear when transported there?
What's more important is that this move is not just a matter of moving. Although the population is small now, there are still hundreds of thousands of people in Mo Dynasty and Li Dynasty. Most of these people are scattered in various places and they have to gather together.
It's not easy to get up either.
If the dignitaries of the Mo or Li dynasties only left with military officials and the like, but left ordinary people behind, the Tang Dynasty would not be happy either.
The prerequisite for helping them move is that they all leave.
Therefore, it is not easy to complete these tasks in three years.
At the same time, in the past three years, Datang actually had to pay something. In addition to helping organize transportation capacity, it actually had to provide them with some food, weapons and other large quantities of living materials to ensure that they could survive the migration process and subsequent immigration.
Don’t starve to death early in the settlement.
Although these are all paid, if you don’t have money, you will owe the loan first, and the interest rate will be high.
But it still requires a lot of supplies.
Thinking about it carefully, Li Xuan actually felt that he was at a bit of a loss sometimes.
But considering that Annan could be captured without a fight, and that Annan could be directly integrated into the mainland and organized for immigration and settlement, he was relieved.
I do a lot of bad things, but occasionally I do a few good things, which actually feels pretty good.
Annan's northern and southern dynasties were preparing to migrate and run away. This news spread quickly in the Nanyang region as if it had wings. Especially other indigenous countries in the Nanyang region. After hearing the news, they were all shocked.
.
But despite being shocked, they all looked forward to it!
They thought they had finally found a way to get rid of the Tang people!
Since the rise of the Tang Dynasty, the indigenous people in the entire Nanyang region have actually been quite miserable. The indigenous countries on the Nanyang Islands are now finished one by one. Even the indigenous tribes that have not yet blossomed are now very few.
At most, there are just some scattered natives hiding in the deep mountains and old forests.
As for the many natives on the peninsula, the Tang Dynasty did not take the initiative to attack them, but they fought to kill them themselves, using Tang Dynasty weapons.
The effect of this war is amazing!
After so many years, I have already been exhausted, but I still have to continue fighting. Why, because those arms dealers need a market!
Now, after Annan's northern and southern dynasties started a collective migration, they couldn't help it anymore. Several indigenous countries in Siam, Myanmar and other regions sent people over!
All of them were holding the thighs of the Tang diplomats, crying and shouting: "Boss, please do a good job and help us find another place!"
At the same time, there are still words that I don’t dare to say, and that is: “With you people from the Tang Dynasty here, I really can’t stay in this Nanyang Peninsula any longer!”
This left a group of diplomats at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs completely speechless, but they couldn't ignore people who came to them and begged them.
After all, he is the world's boss, so he still needs some face.
