Once he assists the Holy Emperor to unify the world, Jia Wenbo will be completely trampled under his feet.
Liu Bagou is a little more troublesome, but by then Liu Bagou is probably already in the grave, and there is no way he can crawl out of the grave to fight with him.
The imperial doctor had already hinted that three months would be Liu Bagou's limit.
By the time the statue was erected, Liu Bagou was already dead, Jia Wenbo could not wait, and no one could force Chen Lifu to become the first official of the Tang Empire!
Of course, the premise of all this is the smooth globalization of the empire, at least before he takes office, even if it is just to confirm his title.
Just like the current Ottoman region, only the status was confirmed, and the migration and immigration work had to continue for several years.
Before he became an official, he confirmed the empire's global status, so that he could naturally become the first official of the Tang Dynasty.
Chen Lifu, who was deeply aware of the urgency of time, spared no effort to accelerate the empire's globalization strategy!
The reason why Chen Lifu's strategy was able to win the support of the Holy Emperor was actually because the Holy Emperor Li Xuan also felt that he was getting older.
Life, aging, illness and death are normal. No one can predict how many years he can live. If he is unlucky, it is possible that Li Xuan will die within the next two years.
Because of this uncertainty in the future, Li Xuan had the idea of accelerating the promotion of global unification.
Unifying the world is a great achievement that can shine in the history of mankind and will most likely be remembered forever by mankind until the end of mankind. Li Xuan feels that this kind of thing can only be done by himself and cannot leave this burden to the prince.
The prince is still too young to bear such a heavy burden!
Li Xuan felt that he had the responsibility and obligation to complete the great cause of unifying the world, so he would support Chen Lifu in accelerating the process of imperial globalization.
At the same time, Chen Lifu found an opportunity and hinted to Li Xuan, saying that in a few years, after the empire was globalized, he wanted to build several super statues to commemorate it. Li Xuan was moved.
Of course, Li Xuan didn't make any explicit statement, at most it was just acquiescence.
Otherwise, how could Chen Lifu dare to push this matter forward?
How should I put it? The globalization of the empire and even the erection of statues and monuments have nothing to do with interests. It is purely because Li Xuan and Chen Lifu both want to leave their names in history. Or, to put it more bluntly, both of them want to leave their names in history.
I want to show off!
And this pair of monarch and minister who can have this idea at the same time and actually plan to do it can be regarded as a model of monarch and minister.
At the high-level level of the empire, after determining the strategy of further accelerating the globalization of the empire, several relevant departments of the empire also began to take action.
First of all, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, after more than a year of back-and-forth with the Tatars, finally determined the future location of the Tatars, which is the Niger River Basin in the Gulf of Guinea and surrounding areas.
Of course, not in the name of the future location of the Tatars, but in the name of a Tatar colony.
The Tang Dynasty sold some of the coastal control areas in the above-mentioned areas to the Tatars at preferential prices, allowing the Tatars to establish colonies here.
The Tatars began to circle around Africa last year. They traveled from the west coast to the east coast of Africa, and finally gave up the idea of going to the east coast.
For no other reason than because that place is close to the Indian Ocean and too close to the Tang Dynasty.
At the same time, considering that future relocation would be very expensive due to long distances, the Tatars chose the west coast of Africa.
Many places on the western coast are actually undeveloped. The local climate and environment, especially tropical diseases, are very unfriendly to outsiders. Neither the Portuguese nor the Tang people have penetrated deeply into the western coast of Africa.
Therefore, the tropical areas near the equator were rejected by the Tatars themselves. Even the Congo River Basin could not attract their attention.
France General Aviation.
In fact, when the Tatars inspected it, which place was their favorite?
North of South Africa!
That is, the northern region of South Africa Prefecture under the African Affairs Office of the Tang Empire.
In fact, the geographical environment of that place is not bad, and the most important thing is that it can directly border the Tang Dynasty, which will be of great benefit to the subsequent development of the Tatar people.
But the people of Tang Dynasty disagreed!
The future relocation of these Tatars will not be a small matter. Their family is rich and it is estimated that there will be millions or even tens of millions of people by then. Even if the mortality rate is very high during the immigration process, in the end it will be able to form a very large number of people.
Big advantage.
Out of balance considerations, the Tang Dynasty was not prepared to allow the Tatars to rely on South Africa!
In the end, the Tatars chose the Gulf of Guinea region, and after comprehensive consideration, they chose the Niger River Basin. Originally, they also wanted the Gold Coast of Ghana, but the Tang Dynasty refused. Although the place didn't look good, it had gold.
Otherwise it wouldn’t be known as the Gold Coast.
In addition to the inland areas, the Tang Dynasty also explicitly allowed the Tatars to obtain part of the coastal areas. The coastal area from the west of the Gold Coast to the Malabo area, which is nearly 800 kilometers long in a straight line, was explicitly given to the Tatars.
As for how much area the Tatars in the inland areas can finally control, it has nothing to do with the Tang Dynasty. They can control as much as they can.
After the Tatars determined that their future settlement would be in the Nigeria area in the northern Gulf of Guinea, they also began preliminary survey and preparation work.
Unlike the Ottomans who relocated in a hurry, the Tatars had more time to prepare and had more convenient conditions. They did not even need to carry out large-scale immigration in the early stage, but used the traditional colonial model.
for early development.
Otherwise, if too many immigrants come here at once, people will die. Many, many people will die!
To this end, after the two parties reach an agreement, the Datang Jin Kingdom will establish the Datang Jin Kingdom West Africa Province and conduct preliminary development in a colonial model.
However, the development of the Tatars may be more radical, because they have clearly asked the Tang Empire about its attitude towards their future expansion in West Africa.
Is it possible to expand into areas around their West Africa Province?
In response, the diplomats of the Tang Empire gave a clear answer: The empire does not interfere in the affairs of other countries!
In other words, the empire allowed them to expand to a limited extent.
If it is more clear, that is, except for the areas currently controlled by the Tang Dynasty, such as South Africa, North Africa, and parts of the coastal areas of Africa, such as the Gold Coast; except for the land explicitly granted by the Tang Empire to other relocated countries, such as the land granted by the Tang Empire to the Kingdom of Denmark.
Territory of the Banjul region, which later included the Gambia, Sergal and Guinea-Bissau.
The rest does not belong to the current control areas of the Tang Empire, nor does it belong to the territory granted by the Tang Empire to other countries. You Tatars can expand, including part of the territory controlled by other countries.
What is not mentioned is that the empire allows various indigenous countries to expand after migrating to Africa, but this expansion is also limited, and the specific limits are naturally controlled by the empire.
For example, after the Tatars have the West Africa Province, they cannot go to other coasts of West Africa to establish second colonies or even enclaves. Those places were reserved by the Tang Dynasty for other countries, and the Tatars would have nothing to do without you.
