Prince Mohammed led nearly 10,000 soldiers and civilians and took the lead in arriving in Africa on the ships of the Tang Dynasty, arriving at the new territory assigned to them by the Tang Dynasty.
The territory allocated by the Tang Dynasty to the six Ottoman countries was the southern coast of the Red Sea in the south, that is, Ethiopia.
Of course, the large coastal areas in this area were all overseas territories belonging to the Tang Empire. What was really allocated to them were large inland areas, and these places were actually controlled by a large number of local indigenous people.
Until now, the Tang Dynasty has not penetrated into the interior of Africa on a large scale and has no control over the African region. Except for North Africa and South Africa, the vast Central African region only controls part of the coastal areas.
At the same time, they will also be given six Ottoman countries, and each appropriate country will be assigned a coastal area to give them an initial place to stay.
After they settle down, they can use this coastal area as a basis and then give the master some of the inland areas assigned to them by the Tang Dynasty.
However, the places allocated to them are only enough for their initial settlement. If they want to develop in the future, they will have to continue to expand inland, or simply kill and annex the other five countries.
Although the Tang Dynasty people did not say it clearly, there is a high probability that they will not allow them to completely annex each other. Six divided Ottoman countries are better than a unified Ottoman country.
However, the Tang Dynasty people generally did not care about the war between them, but if they wanted to completely annex each other, the Tang Dynasty people would often interfere.
This is true for the twelve Central African countries and the Kingdom of Denmark.
When the Kingdom of Denmark first arrived in Africa, it was suppressed by the Kingdom of Morocco. If the Tang Dynasty had not protected it, it would have been over.
Among the twelve Central African countries, the strength is actually very uneven. The Central African Kingdom is extremely powerful. If it lets its hands and feet loose, it may be able to kill all the other eleven countries.
But the twelve countries in Central Africa still exist to this day, and that is certainly not because they are so awesome, but because the Tang Dynasty is watching from behind.
It is possible to fight and fight for new territories, but no matter how powerful the Kingdom of Central Africa is, you cannot seize the core territories of the other eleven countries. Those places were allocated to the eleven countries by the Tang Dynasty. If you say annexation, you can annex it.
Wow, Datang is so shameless!
You know, back then, the Tang Dynasty had officially canonized the twelve Central African countries.
Therefore, although internal wars broke out frequently in the twelve Central African countries and their territories changed very quickly, they were all limited to new territories in the interior. As for the small core territories of each of the twelve countries on the coast, they remained unchanged.
The Ottoman Kingdom will do the same thing!
You can expand inland, you can fight each other, but you can't completely annex each other!
Mohammed knew this very well, but his idea was to imitate the Central African Kingdom!
If I cannot annex the core coastal territory allocated by the Tang Dynasty, I will quickly expand inland, and then surround your coastal territory from the inland, cutting off the possibility of your inland expansion.
To do this, strong national power is needed.
If you want strong national strength, you need to carry out reforms in all aspects.
In this regard, Mohammed feels the heavy responsibility, but he is still full of confidence!
After the fleet led by Prince Mohammed arrived, they quickly landed in the coastal area designated by the Tang Dynasty. Centered around a small coastal port allocated to them by the Tang Dynasty, they built simple houses and reclaimed farmland.
.
Although many matters have been carefully considered and even arranged before departure, it is still very difficult to do it after arriving at the place. Fortunately, they don't have to worry about food in the short term. They can buy relatively affordable prices from Datang people.
of food.
However, just to take advantage of the unstable footing he had just arrived, Mohammed also started his actions. He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to strengthen the power of the royal family. This is why he was among the first batch of immigrants to go there in person.
.
Just as Muhammad was establishing a foothold in Africa with his men, the other five families from the six Ottoman countries also arrived in Africa one after another. However, their first batch of people came not too many, only a few thousand people.
However, overall, the overall migration of the Ottomans has begun in an all-round way. In the future, they will move to Africa on a large scale through land and sea routes.
According to the estimated immigration data self-reported by the six Ottoman countries, the total number of immigrants from these six countries is estimated to be more than three million, which is a significant decrease from the peak population of tens of millions.
The fact that the population of the Ottoman region is so small is not an isolated phenomenon, but a common phenomenon in Europe and other regions, mainly due to the impact of perennial wars.
The war in Europe for so many years has led to a continuous decline in population. The decline in population is not simply due to casualties in the war. The more reason is that the war that has lasted for many years has led to a large reduction in the labor force. At the same time, the impact of the war has led to the abandonment of agricultural production.
Not to mention countries in war, even Spain and the United Kingdom of Portugal, which have never suffered from large-scale wars in their own territory, are not much better.
Even though the war never broke out in their native Spain, it still caused serious harm to the Spaniards.
Especially the wars in Europe were influenced by the Tang Dynasty. After entering the era of line warfare, the main participants in the war were no longer limited to the nobles and knights in the past, but became ordinary people who were recruited.
Countless young men were recruited, sent to the battlefield after simple training, and then died in the cruel war.
At the same time, a large number of young people were recruited to transport various logistics materials and build various materials needed for the war.
This directly resulted in the lack of young and strong labor force in the rear to cultivate the land.
At the same time, a large amount of money was needed to maintain the war, which further caused the Spanish royal family and major lords to increase their exploitation and further reduced the people's living standards.
The situation in France is actually even worse. The local population has dropped off a cliff because France has been the frontline of Europe's resistance to the Tatars for a long time. The war damage suffered was huge and agricultural production was stagnant in large areas.
At the same time, the Tatars conquered the French region largely to accommodate a large number of immigrants from Eastern Europe. In addition, the French region was quite suitable for grazing, so they adopted a more radical occupation strategy, which resulted in a large increase in the local population during the occupation.
reduce.
The situation in the Ottoman region is actually even worse. The Ottoman Kingdom was already in difficulties because of the war with the Tatars for many years. In the middle period, it fell into a civil war. The civil war was more cruel than the foreign war, and almost the entire Ottoman region was destroyed.
The spread has arrived.
When the Tatars began their massive march south last year, they completely pushed the Ottoman Kingdom off the cliff.
This time the Tatars went south, which was different from their previous foreign wars. This time the Tatars went south without any scruples. They mainly focused on destroying the rule of the Ottomans and plundering. Wherever the Tatars went, they destroyed everything.
They would not let go, not only grabbing valuables such as gold and silver, but also grabbing grain and other production materials. They would even take away hoes, and often set fire to them before leaving!
The Tatars in the Ottoman Kingdom War truly exposed the traditional attributes of the Tatars, and also made Europeans once again realize the brutality of the Mongols!
The war brought by the Tatars greatly damaged the normal local production in the Ottoman region.
Among them, the Balkans, the most serious area, was almost completely deserted, while the once prosperous Greek area was completely deserted!
The Asia Minor Peninsula was also severely damaged.
To be honest, if the Ottoman Kingdom had not made a timely territorial exchange agreement with the Tang Empire, I am afraid that none of the more than three million would be left.
When the Tatars went not for conquest but purely for plunder, their destructive power was beyond anyone's imagination!
However, it is not an easy task for the more than three million Ottoman people to successfully migrate to Africa. This is not just about transporting more than three million people to Africa, but also allowing them to arrive in Africa alive and survive there.
