"And those Swedes are not a good thing either. Although they stationed troops on the archipelago and said they were helping us defend, they were still afraid that the Tatars would capture Copenhagen and then block the strait or even land in Northern Europe. And
The troops they stationed also need us to provide various supplies such as food and ammunition."
"You have to think about why the Tang people suddenly found us and wanted to help us leave here. Is it purely out of kindness? No, everyone knows that these Tang people are devils who eat people without spitting out their bones. They are no better than the Tatars.
Well, they suddenly came to the door, which shows that they have an agenda!"
"You mean they have plans for us? Are they interested in our place in Denmark?"
"If that wasn't the case, why would they offer to help us move?"
The Tang Dynasty suddenly came to help the Danes move to Africa. This instantly caused a dispute among the Danes, but after arguing, they finally preferred to move to Africa.
Although there are many voices of agreement and opposition, the most critical thing is the threat of the Tatars.
The Tatars are nearby, and since Sweden became independent, Denmark has been at war with Sweden for a long time, causing its national strength to become worse and worse. Later, when the Tatars came, the Danes even lost the Danish Peninsula, leaving only
Just a few islands.
If the Swedes hadn't forced the Tang Dynasty to put pressure on them and send troops to the islands to help the Swedes resist the Tatars, they probably wouldn't have been able to defend these islands.
It is too dangerous to be neighbors with Tatars!
This is the deep feeling of the Danes in recent years!
If we can leave these islands with our property, troops, and people and go to Africa, it will represent a brighter future.
There are no strong indigenous people in Africa who can pose a threat to them.
The problem now is that although Africa is large and many places are good, not all places are good.
Now they don't know where in Africa Datang moved them to. If it is a good place, then they don't mind moving all at once with Datang's help.
If the place doesn’t have a lot of potential, then of course you won’t go.
In this case, the Danes quickly replied to the Tang diplomats. It is not impossible to go to Africa, but where?
This is crucial!
After receiving this answer, the Tang diplomat who came here was already satisfied.
Africa is very big. Although in theory, the entire Africa currently belongs to the scope of Datang's strength, in fact, Datang actually controls only a few coastal ports and the South African region. Other places, especially inland areas, basically belong to one area.
blank.
In such a large Africa, hundreds of thousands of Danes can be accommodated anywhere.
As for the specific place, that is naturally not something he can decide. It needs to be decided by the superiors. Anyway, his own mission has been completed.
Soon, the relevant news was reported to Vice Admiral Qiao Haozhong.
"The Danes don't clearly object. Well, this will save a lot of trouble. Okay, let's find some space for them!"
"Well, just find them a place near Morocco and find them a neighbor!"
Qiao Haozhong just scanned the map and made a preliminary determination. Africa is a very big place, and the Tang Dynasty occupies not much space.
He also knew that according to domestically implemented policies, South Africa had basically been identified as an area to implement partial localization, but it was only limited to a small area in southern Africa.
As for other places, the Tang Empire only established port colonies along the coast, most of which were taken over from the Portuguese.
Today, within the Tang Dynasty, there is little interest in large-scale immigration or the development of Africa.
At least until the number of indigenous people in Africa drops to a certain level, there is no interest.
For the Tang Empire, the value of the huge African continent, if it were not for the gold mines in South Africa and the transportation hub of South Africa Port, would not even be as valuable as the neighboring island of Madagascar, because Madagascar is an independent island.
If you capture all the indigenous people and throw them into Africa, you can directly complete the localization, and then start large-scale immigration and development.
Just like when the island of Ceylon was developed!
Simple and hassle-free!
In the past two years, the African Affairs Office has focused most on two things. One is the partial localization of South Africa, or more accurately, the development of gold mines in South Africa, and the other is the localization of Motor Island.
.
After so many years, there are basically not many indigenous people left on Mada Island. Most of them were moved to the African continent by the Tang Dynasty.
Although this place is a little barren and not a wealthy place, it is still a large island and can accommodate many immigrants.
Under such circumstances, it is understandable that the empire has little interest in the areas north of South Africa.
There is no interest in this anymore, and naturally it is too lazy to manage it. Datang only needs to control the coastal ports and some strategic locations, and at the same time does not allow officials from various countries to open any colonies here, but it basically doesn't bother to deal with other things.
Today's north-central Africa is a land outside the law. Every year, countless Spanish, English, Portuguese, French, and West Asians are widely active in coastal ports controlled by the Tang Dynasty in Africa, and then organize the transportation of large quantities of goods.
Free laborers travel to America.
People from all over the world also brought countless swords and even matchlock guns and other weapons.
The most savvy Spaniards purchased swords and matchlocks directly from the Tang Dynasty and transported them to the coast of Central and North Africa in exchange for prisoners of war in the hands of various tribes.
In order to obtain weapons or money, tribes conducted frequent conquests to obtain prisoners of war.
Generally speaking, after Africa as a whole was included in the sphere of influence of the Tang Dynasty, the changes from the past were not big. If anything, wars on the African continent became more frequent.
At the same time, the military level among the various tribes has been greatly improved. A large number of cheap swords from the Tang Dynasty flowed into the hands of the warriors of each tribe, making their armies more regular and their combat effectiveness more powerful.
In short, the central African region is still noisy and noisy now, just like before.
This became even more obvious after the Nanyang countries collectively landed in central Africa. After these Nanyang countries moved to Africa, they also needed to survive, which also caused conflicts with the local indigenous people.
From the first day they landed, wars broke out frequently with the local indigenous people!
If the Kingdom of Denmark moves to Africa in the future, war will definitely break out with the local indigenous people.
As a result, Africa will be even more chaotic in the future.
And in Africa, which is in chaos, the empire has even less interest in immigration and development.
