Chapter 517: The Chinese Miao Descendants of Nanyang
The luck of the Dragon Veins of the Qing Dynasty was cut in half, just like Wu Zixu's hair turned gray overnight, and he instantly changed from a prime man to an old man.
Originally, the Qing Dynasty was still an ancient and powerful empire in the world. Although it was a paper tiger, it was okay for this paper tiger to scare people.
It was only after hundreds of years of dealings with foreigners that they gradually discovered the fact that the Qing Empire was dominated by foreign powers.
Now, the Qing Dynasty lost its foundation overnight.
I won’t talk about Guangdong and Guangxi.
Huacheng is the headquarters of the Holy See, and the people in this province are the first to believe in religion. Coupled with the impact of this consecration ceremony, and thousands of people with broken arms and legs showing up to give their own testimony, everyone knows that the Holy See has heavenly ears to listen, and there are immortal methods.
Dongguang was captured, not to mention Xiguang. After all, in the history of the earth, Hong Xiuquan’s missionary work in his hometown of Dongguang had little effect, so he moved to the next door Xiguang, where he became famous and became a superstar.
The history is strikingly similar. The Holy See's development in Dongguang is rapid, while in Western Guang it is vastly different.
When local officials saw the power of the Holy See, they all pretended to be deaf and dumb. As long as the parishioners were not blatantly rebelling, they did not dare to interfere or ask questions.
Of course, if the church members blatantly rebelled, they would not dare to interfere or ask questions, and they might even take off their official uniforms and surrender.
Guangdong and Guangxi are completely out of control, and several surrounding provinces are superficially loyal, but in fact they have been quarreling with the Holy See for a long time, and may change their banners at any time.
Xi Tong has no plans to go to war with the Qing Empire, but this does not mean that Xi Tong will do nothing.
The golden-armored corpse left by Dorgon was sent out by Xi Tong to "persuade" and educate the court officials in the Lianghu area.
Not to mention, the Golden Armored Corpse is very easy to use, especially the talent of escaping from the ground. It can come and go without a trace and has an impermanent appearance. Anyone who wants to die in the third watch will definitely not survive in the fifth watch.
Dorgon created a huge empire for the Qing Dynasty during his lifetime, and he should fight back this empire after his death.
On the other hand, Tongmenghui has established a firm foothold in all continents, and the Nanyang region has completed preliminary development and is on the right track.
As early as thousands of years ago, the Chinese people had sailed southward and entered the borders of Southeast Asia, where they cultivated fertile fields and thrived.
However, the Chinese people have been harassed and robbed by local barbarians and cannot develop with peace of mind. Then the arrival of Western colonists further increased the oppression of the Chinese people.
After the Tongmeng Association established the Nanyang branch, it thoroughly cleaned up the area and at the same time contacted Chinese Miao people from various places to gather them together.
For one thing, they have the same origin and species, and the Chinese Miao descendants from Southeast Asia are innately close to the same species. After all, they are drifting outside, and they can only survive better by hugging each other for warmth. If they didn't understand this truth, they wouldn't be able to develop to this day.
Secondly, Tongmeng will show the power of gods and kill all the local savages. Regardless of their gratitude for having their revenge or their fear of bloody methods, they choose loyalty.
In the third case, Tongmenghui demonstrated black technologies such as the ability to control wind and rain (a small weather control center) and the ability to turn stone into gold (metal smelting plant). The Miao people from Southeast Asia regarded it as a fairy trick, so they admired and feared it even more.
After integrating the local Chinese Miao people, the Nanyang Tongmeng Association gained a population of more than 400,000.
"Coach, what's the next step? According to current statistics, there are already 400,000 people. There are probably even more Chinese Miao people in other places. There are so many people and I can't control them."
Xi Tong was very calm.
"Nanyang has always been a land of foreigners. They longed to be recognized and governed by the Qing Empire, but the Qing Empire abandoned them like worn-out shoes. They have been neglected for thousands of years, so why don't they live a good life?"
"So, just do nothing! You just need to provide a peaceful and stable environment, and let them solve the rest by themselves."
The members of the Nanyang branch were relieved immediately, as long as they were not asked to go to the countryside to become village officials.
"Coach, the leading figures of several Nanyang clans came to me and said they wanted to make offerings and pay me food. How should I respond?"
Nanyang has fertile land and rich mineral resources. As long as you work hard, you will never suffer from hunger or cold.
But precisely because these Chinese Miao people are so diligent, they are always able to accumulate a lot of wealth, while the local savages are not engaged in production, are lazy in food, and are all so poor that they are naked.
Not only did they not reflect on it, but they blamed all this on the Chinese Miao people, thinking that the Chinese Miao people had stolen their wealth.
For thousands of years, the Chinese Miao people in Nanyang have been bullied. For this reason, they are more eager to have a strong backer, and it is only natural to pay protection fees to their backer.
Xi Tong thought for a while and said, "Then accept it. If you don't accept it, they will feel uneasy. As for the tax rate, you can decide it yourself. That's pretty much it."
"Also, you have multi-functional agricultural vehicles and multi-functional mining vehicles in your hands. Whether it is farming or mining, it does not require much manpower. Therefore, let the Chinese Miao people in Nanyang transform as soon as possible."
Let them work as construction workers to speed up the construction of cities and towns in Nanyang.
Craftsmen such as blacksmiths, cobblers, and carpenters made use of the products of Southeast Asia.
Young people received compulsory education and learned knowledge about culture, management and other aspects to prepare for the future transformation of the Qing Empire.
Xi Tong's positioning for Nanyang and the entire Qing Empire is to drastically reduce the agricultural population and drive people off the land.
In the past, people worked from sunrise to sunset, bending over and digging in the soil for food every day, and their stomachs were never full. Who would think about religion and belief?
And now, Xi Tong has brought over Terra’s agricultural black technology.
With the land resources, water and heat resources in Nanyang, let alone only 400,000 people, even if it were ten times more, we could afford to support it. In a year or two, even a hundred times the population would not be under pressure.
Only when you have enough food and clothing, money and leisure will you think about those fancy things, such as believing in the Holy See and worshiping the main god of the system.
So, let them start with the construction of the temple!
The temple does not need to be as big as the Flower City, nor does it need to be as large as the Flower City. It is enough to build a small hut and a small temple so that the Nanyang Miao people can have a place to pray.
Therefore, after accepting the spices, grain, gold and silver contributed by the local clans, the Nanyang Tongmeng Association discussed the next development with them.
First of all, the Tongmeng Association planned to build a temple here, but it lacked manpower, so it hired Nanyang Miao people and paid them based on their work.
When the Nanyang clan leaders heard that their patrons were about to send jobs, they all patted their chests and promised to send hundreds or thousands of strong young men without paying a penny.
However, Tongmeng will insist on giving it and will not take it.
Nonsense, if you don't take it, how can you let modern products such as lighters, mirrors, and soaps spread and circulate, and how can you let the Chinese Miao people in Nanyang know that working is more profitable than farming, and the gap is dozens or hundreds of times.
