Chapter 2185 The importance of hugging Tang's thighs
A large number of people in the country want to sneak into the neighboring country of Tang Dynasty, which puts great financial and diplomatic pressure on the Kingdom of Sweden.
This directly prompted the Kingdom of Sweden to take the lead in implementing large-scale immigration to Africa. However, their early large-scale immigration did not care about the lives of immigrants like the Tatars.
The early immigration activities of the Kingdom of Sweden were purely to throw people who smuggled, wanted to stowaway, or were likely to stowaway to Africa, and then only gave them simple food rations. As for the follow-up, the Kingdom of Sweden only
Step by step.
In this case, the death and injury ratio of immigrants in the Kingdom of Sweden is actually relatively large, but people in the Kingdom of Sweden do not regard these early immigrants as human beings, and it is difficult for outsiders to say anything.
However, this kind of large-scale immigration, which does not treat immigrants as human beings, has a good effect. The initial immigration scale is large, and it is easier to establish a stronghold on the western coast of Ghana.
It can also better alleviate their second major stress!
In the early stage of large-scale immigration of Swedes, one of the pressures was smuggling!
Then the second biggest pressure is the Tatars!
These damn Tatars are in eastern Ghana!
The Swedish territory in Africa is in western Ghana!
In other words, the territories of the Tatars and the Swedes were only separated by a state controlled by the Tang Dynasty.
And the most important thing is that the Golden Coast of Ghana of the Tang Dynasty is limited to the coastal area. The Ghana state under the jurisdiction of the African Affairs Office of the Tang Dynasty is actually not very large, and it does not go deep into the interior.
To the east of the state of Ghana is the Eastern Ghana region allocated to the Tang Dynasty, which the Tatars call the West Africa Province.
The western part of the state of Ghana is the Western Ghana region assigned to them by the Kingdom of Sweden, which the Kingdom of Sweden calls Western Ghana.
The Western Ghana region acquired by the Kingdom of Sweden, like the colonies acquired by other countries, was limited to the coastal area. As for the inland areas, the Tang Empire did not give specific divisions at all.
At the same time, considering that the Tang Dynasty has made it clear that the Tang Dynasty will not go deep into the inland areas of Africa. Even the Niger River Basin was abandoned before. The same is true now in Ghana. The scope of control of the Tang Dynasty will be limited to the coastal areas.
Even in the inland areas north of Ghana, whether you Tatars or Swedes, whoever can control them will control it, and the Tang Dynasty basically ignores it.
This means that in the area north of Greater Tangana, the Swedes and Tatars are very likely to be in direct contact, or even further compressed into the northern interior of their respective coastal colonies.
This situation was intolerable to both countries, so the Tatars began to immigrate on a large scale, directly penetrating into the deep northern regions of the Niger River Basin.
The Kingdom of Sweden was not to be outdone. They first built large strongholds in the coastal areas and then moved inland along many rivers to seize various strongholds.
The mutual competition between the two countries made the initial immigration intensity between the Kingdom of Sweden and the Tatars very large.
Although it cost a lot in the early stage and caused serious casualties, the development progress is also very gratifying.
Moreover, after the initial immigration is over, although it is costly, it is not without gains.
They can open plantations locally and use free labor for planting. In addition to growing food, they can also grow a large number of cash crops and sell them to merchants in the Tang Empire.
For example, in the Kingdom of Sweden, their immigrants were much smarter. After arriving in Western Ghana, the plantations they opened immediately planted not food, but cocoa and coffee.
Nowadays, people in the Tang Dynasty have a huge demand for various consumer goods. Whether it is the emerging beverage coffee or the cocoa used to make high-end candies, the demand is very huge, swallowing up cocoa and coffee from all over the world.
Especially for cocoa, the Tang Dynasty people had already planted it in large quantities in the Americas, but they still felt that it was not enough. When the Swedes said they would plant cocoa on a large scale in Western Ghana, the Tang Dynasty businessmen came over to actively cooperate and sign purchase contracts in advance.
After this was grown, it was sold to merchants of the Tang Dynasty, which made a lot of money. The money was then used to directly import grain from the people of the Tang Dynasty. This in and out was more profitable than simply growing grain, and it could also feed more people.
At the same time, they can also directly use the rich local resources to make money, such as wood, especially high-end wood, which is also in great demand among the people of the Tang Dynasty.
Secondly, some precious metals are mined, such as gold, silver and so on, which is money.
Although the original manual mining efficiency is low, the cost is also low!
How can I put it, after running to Africa, as long as you don't seek death by yourself, explore a development path that suits you in an orderly manner, and tightly hold on to Datang's thighs, then at least you will be able to have enough to eat, and you will be successful.
It is the next Central African Kingdom.
Even if it is half mixed, it can become the second Kingdom of Morocco or the Kingdom of Denmark!
The Kingdom of Denmark seems to be suppressed by the Kingdom of Morocco, but this military defeat has not affected the continued increase in the population of the Kingdom of Denmark. The area it controls is getting larger and larger, it is getting richer and richer, and it is getting stronger and stronger.
.
This is because the Kingdom of Denmark clings tightly to the thighs of the Tang Dynasty!
This can be seen from the economic model of the Kingdom of Denmark, which develops a large number of commercial crop cultivation and at the same time develops animal husbandry in the northern controlled areas.
Not counting the various economic crops in the planting industry or the wool in the animal husbandry, etc., all of them are mainly exported to Datang, and they themselves cannot use so much wool.
Relying on exporting a large amount of agricultural and livestock products, as well as some mineral products to the Tang Dynasty, the Kingdom of Denmark actually lived a pretty good life, otherwise it would not have been able to quickly recover after being defeated by the navy of the Kingdom of Morocco several times.
Ask the Tang Dynasty to buy a large number of ships to continue the resistance.
Well, being able to survive several defeats in a row without paying a dime of compensation or ceding an inch of land is a great indication of the strength of the Kingdom of Denmark.
At the same time, it also illustrates the importance of hugging Datang tightly, especially the importance of hugging Datang’s lap in emergencies.
And this is what the people of Tang Dynasty hope to see!
The people of the Tang Dynasty hoped that these indigenous countries would stop worrying about anything and just farm the land and raise sheep.
Don't worry about the cash crops you grow not being able to sell. We in the Tang Dynasty have a lot of people. Whether it's cotton or wool, we'll take as much as you natives have.
In this case, you natives can live a better life and have money to buy our industrial products.
This is also the so-called global economic integration that the people of the Tang Dynasty have advocated in recent years. We strive to do well for you, me, and everyone!
After all, if you are good and I am good, we can all be together.
