The 2103rd chapter Shunyi King Datang knowledge (2)
Although King Shunyi was a Tatar, he was not an ordinary Tatar. He ruled a king with a population of tens of millions.
More importantly, he had been in contact with Datang for a long time.
There was no way, he had led the army and fought against the Tang Dynasty before, and even the Tang army was very powerful.
When facing a powerful opponent, you will naturally want to understand him, from the simple military aspects at the beginning to the economic and cultural aspects later on.
Therefore, don't think that the upper-class people of the Tatar Kingdom are just waiting to die. They are smart and have long wanted to imitate the Tang Dynasty in establishing an industrial system.
Otherwise, we wouldn’t have gone to great lengths to obtain various teaching materials from the Tang Dynasty, then set up education and try to imitate steam engines.
It's just that the results have been modest so far.
After King Shunyi arrived at the Tang Empire, he saw not only the power of the Tang Dynasty, but also the reasons why the Tang Dynasty was powerful.
But the deeper and more he understood, the more desperate he became...
In the past, he thought that he could imitate many systems of the Tang Dynasty and finally establish a country as powerful as the Tang Dynasty, even if it took ten or twenty years.
But now, he doesn't think so.
If he wanted to build a country as powerful as the Tang Dynasty, he would need so many things that it would make him despair!
This view is not just his alone, almost everyone among the dozens of people he brought here thinks so.
In the past, they only saw the power of the Tang army and the powerful battleships of the Tang Dynasty. But apart from these superficial things, how powerful the Tang Dynasty was. In fact, even the Tatars who had been in contact with the Tang Dynasty for many years
Tartar people also don’t have an accurate judgment.
And as they took the train all the way eastward, when they finally arrived at Jinling City, what they saw was far beyond their imagination.
On the street, vehicles that can move autonomously are even more exaggerated than trains. Trains use steam engines, but this vehicle does not use a steam engine, but some kind of gasoline engine, which burns something similar to kerosene.
When they arrived at Jinling Railway Station, they were invited to take a photo. When they saw the flash appear, they thought it was doing something. But a few days later, when they saw their portrait appear on a piece of paper,
And when it looked more like the image drawn by the best painter, they were completely unable to understand it.
There were other things that shocked them, such as telegrams they had heard of but never seen.
All kinds of things made Zalik and the others feel the incredible power of the Tang Dynasty.
And this incredible feeling made them feel deep despair!
The power of the Tang Dynasty is impossible to imitate!
With despair, Zalik also successfully met the Holy Emperor many days after arriving in Jinling City. However, unlike the close meeting he expected, Zalik actually only glanced at him from a distance of more than ten meters.
During this period, he didn't dare to look up at all, and then kept his head down from beginning to end. He only took a sneak peek at the beginning.
Why?
Before entering the palace, the etiquette officials clearly told him that he was not allowed to look directly at the Holy Emperor.
During this court meeting, you lowered your head when you entered, then went forward to kneel down and salute, shouting long live. After the salute, the Holy Emperor asked a few questions casually, and after Lalik answered a few questions, the meeting ended, and then
He bowed his head and backed away, then finally turned around and walked out.
To be honest, after the entire court meeting, in fact, Zalik didn't even see clearly what the Holy Emperor looked like. It just had a vague influence.
But these are all etiquette things, and Lalik doesn't care much about them.
After the court meeting, the Holy Emperor sent an imperial envoy to formally confer him the title of King of Shunyi.
This was the main point of his coming to Jinling City in person to receive the official canonization.
Later, he held many meetings with officials of Datang, mainly discussing territorial transfer and commercial cooperation.
After agreeing on some of the detailed rules, Lalik took his envoy back.
Before going back, Zhilike also specially applied for a tour in Jinling City. After all, they had stayed on the train all the way east. After arriving at Jinling City, they were directly taken to the designated inn to stay, and there was no chance to go out during the period.
, before they left, they still wanted to see with their own eyes the real society of the Tang Dynasty up close.
Subsequently, accompanied by officials from the Tang Dynasty, Zhi Like and others took a tour of Jinling City, experienced cars and intercity trains, and even went to a large department store to have a look and purchase.
There were a lot of things, and I also had a chance to experience the elevator.
After experiencing this day, Lalik became even more desperate...
Before leaving Jinling City, he was actually a little reluctant. If possible, it would be great to completely merge into the Tang Dynasty!
Alas, in fact, he had this idea a few years ago, and even sent people to ask about it in the Tang Dynasty. He said that he was willing to bring the entire Tatar Golden Kingdom to the Tang Dynasty. It would not be the current vassal country model, but the Tatar Golden Kingdom.
The country as a whole was merged into the Tang Dynasty and became a part of the Tang Dynasty. For this reason, Shilike was willing to give up the throne and give him the title of Duke of the Tang Dynasty.
It’s a pity that the Tang Dynasty didn’t favor him!
Li Ke went back with a look of despair on his face, but the situation in the Tang Empire was still calm.
For the Tang Empire, even though the European strategy was related to the future, that was still decades or even centuries away, and now it was just a matter of advance planning.
Moreover, according to the strategy of the Tang Empire, in order to avoid a large influx of natives from the western border, the western territories will be under military control in the early stage.
Currently, the Ural Mountains and the area west of the Ural River are under military control, and the same will be true for newly added areas such as Ukraine and Poland in the future.
According to the plan, the Tang Empire will later incorporate the areas west of the Ural region and east of the Volga River into its own territory and establish provincial capitals and counties.
However, the area west of the Volga River will still be under military control.
To put it bluntly, this military-controlled area, like the isolation zones in other places, is purely an artificial no-man's land to isolate the indigenous people from entering the mainland.
Of course, this is purely because there are too many places in the empire now, and there is not much urgency for this area.
If the area east of the Volga River is included in the mainland in the future, there will be large tracts of land that can accommodate a large number of immigrants. Whether so many immigrants will be able to come there by then is another matter.
Now the people of the empire like to immigrate to North America or other places with good natural environments, but the people of the empire don't really like places like Central Asia.
What's more, in recent years, the empire's focus of immigration development has always been in the Nanyang region, and it has provided various policy supports.
Moreover, with the development of medicine and other technologies, the risk of disease when immigrating to Nanyang has now been controlled, so many people have chosen to go to the Nanyang Peninsula or Nanyang Islands in recent years.
Immigrants from the Tang Empire have many choices!
The world is so big and it’s not a good idea to go there, so why go to Eastern Europe?
Of course, less does not mean none. The empire has a large population base, and a large number of people emigrate every year. Even if only a small part goes to Central Asia or even Eastern Europe, that is a huge number.
