The second thousand one hundred and eighty-three chapters of the advanced nature of the Tang Dynasty
As for the use of sailboats for slow transportation, a small broken ship of several hundred tons is packed with hundreds of people to transport together. Many people will die in the process, but there is nothing that can be done about it, isn't it...
Anyway, those who died were not the middle and upper class Tatars, nor were they self-financed immigrants.
The middle and upper classes of Tatars and those who immigrated at their own expense naturally took the ships of the Tang Dynasty.
Several European branches of Datang's shipping companies have opened regular flights from European ports to various parts of Africa. In addition, there are also a large number of freighters or affordable passenger ships accepting charter services.
There are also many wealthy Tatars. Some of them took the regular flights of the Tang Dynasty to Africa, and some of them were chartered by the Tang Dynasty officials and hired Tang Dynasty ships.
As for the ordinary young men who had little money and were recruited by the government to work in the early stage of farming, naturally they could only survive slowly on a sailboat like a sardine can.
This multi-faceted model also made the scale of Tatar immigration very large from the beginning!
Within a few months, they had built five large strongholds along the coast and four large strongholds along the middle and lower reaches of the Niger River, and were still expanding upstream and to some tributaries.
Half a year later, the Tatars had opened up a vast area of arable land in the inland areas of Niger, and the number of people cultivating it had exceeded 500,000.
Well, in the past six months, the Tatars have actually been in the early stage of immigration, and the second batch of settlement immigrants has arrived in the tens of thousands.
A total of only tens of thousands of people have immigrated here. As for why there are more than 500,000 people farming!
That's because they followed the more extensive free labor plantation model pioneered by the Spanish and Portuguese and later developed in twenty Central African countries.
Most of the people who colonized the land were local indigenous people they captured!
Speaking of which, although this plantation model was pioneered by Europeans, the Portuguese and Spanish both launched free labor plantation models in Africa and America.
After the Danes moved to Africa, they also played this trick, but now the people who play this trick most smoothly are the former Kingdom of Annan and the current Kingdom of Central Africa.
There are actually not many native citizens in the Kingdom of Africa. Now after a few years of development, the population is actually less than two million. Most of them are minors born after migrating to Africa in recent years.
But in addition to their two million citizens, they also have millions of indigenous laborers working for them for free!
As for why it is said that these Nanyang barbarians can play the plantation mode more smoothly than the European barbarians?
That's because these barbarians who came from Southeast Asia completely regarded these indigenous labor forces as cheap consumables. They were not afraid of consumption at all and squeezed the cost of use to a very low level.
After all, for the twelve countries of Nanyang, there are a large number of natives outside the doorstep.
The plantation was short of labor, so the farmer took the musketeers out for a round and captured a series of natives...
Sometimes you don't even need to do it yourself, you can just put up a sign in front of your home to buy it. The local indigenous people outside will capture people from neighboring tribes and then sell them for money. There are also some specialized armed caravans that do this job.
And the most critical point is that they are extremely skilled in the business of arresting people. At the same time, they have lived in the tropical rainforests of the Nanyang Peninsula and Nanyang Islands in various countries in Nanyang. For activities in complex terrain, especially in tropical rainforests,
More experienced.
Moreover, in the early days of their arrival in Africa, a very important income-generating business was to act as mercenaries to help Europeans capture indigenous people.
So catching the natives is very simple for them, and the cost is very low!
People say that relying on mountains and mountains depends on water, and the twelve African countries rely on their natives to eat their natives.
Relying on the bloody wealth accumulation model, the Central African Kingdom has developed to the present. Although its population is only more than two million, its life is not bad.
People from the twelve Southeast Asian countries enjoyed free plantations very smoothly, but in the eyes of the Tatars, it was a bit inferior and had great hidden dangers.
Now those people in the Central African Kingdom are enjoying their lives as farmers, but what about a few decades from now and a hundred years from now?
The surrounding indigenous people have been captured, and there is no cheap labor left?
At that time, in order to continue to live a good life, I am afraid that we will have to import them from other places, and at the same time give free labor better treatment, and at the same time, the safety of these properties will be more precious.
As time goes by, the number of these free labor forces will inevitably increase, and they will take on almost all of the lower-level labor force. What will happen in the future?
It's hard for the Tatars to guess. After all, this is something that will happen in the future and there are too many unpredictable changes. But, the Tatars feel that there will definitely be no good end by then!
Relatively speaking, the Tatars prefer the Tang Dynasty model: cultivating their own land.
Why do we need indigenous people? They have a lot of Tatars. They have a population of more than 20 million, so they need indigenous people there.
So they only want the land but not the people!
Therefore, what the Tatars are planning to imitate is actually the Tang Dynasty's policy of not requiring people to use land. However, in the early stage of immigration development, there was no shortage of labor. Therefore, in a short period of time, the Tatars, like the Kingdom of Central Africa, recruited a large number of indigenous people.
Reclaim land.
However, they did not adopt the slavery model, but directly launched war against the surrounding tribes, and then captured everyone as prisoners of war, allowing them to perform unpaid labor in the name of prisoners of war.
This seems to be just in the name of prisoners of war, but in fact the difference is huge.
At least, the Tatars did not adopt a backward system such as slavery, and they did not allow ordinary people to own slaves.
This is actually very important for the current Tatar Kingdom of Tang Dynasty, because although the upper class of the Kingdom of Tang Dynasty are all Tatars, as a huge country with a population of more than 20 million, the vast majority of the population in the Kingdom of Tang Dynasty is actually Tatars.
All of them are local populations from Eastern and Central Europe.
The reason why they enthusiastically supported the Tang Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom was because when the Tang Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom marched into Europe, the slogan they shouted was: kill the nobles and divide the land!
Specifically, this is what they did: wherever they went, they killed almost all the nobles, liberated all the serfs, made everyone free citizens, and at the same time distributed free land to all landless peasants.
The Tatars forcibly brought the serf society of central and eastern Europe, which was still in the barbaric, ignorant and backward period of the Middle Ages, into a more advanced and modern free society.
So when the Tatars marched into Europe, from Eastern Europe to Central Europe, the noble lords were extremely panicked, while the serfs and ordinary farmers were looking forward to it!
This is the foundation for the Tatars to establish the Tang Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom!
