Chapter 432 The British Prime Minister is coming

@@@@@@The narrow Palawan Island is like a dam blocking the sea, separating the South China Sea from the Sulu Sea. Except for the British-protected Brooke Dynasty on the island of Borneo, which borders the southwest, it has all become the land of Xinhua, especially yesterday, Gu Junho used radio communication. It arrived in front of the British in front of the British, making the two British cruisers sigh, which is equivalent to making Xinhua's tentacles extend nearly a thousand nautical miles to the south again, only one step away from the largest island in the Pacific Ocean!

In order to manage the huge overseas provinces and so many islands, Li Enfu has decided to re-divide it into ten provinces. At the same time, he would rather reduce investment in other provinces in the mainland and give priority to strengthening Xinhua's control here.

This idea made the corners of Li Mo's mouth couldn't help but hook up. Under the subtleization of the deep blue thought he advocated, people like Li Enfu are slowly changing, and with the victory of the navy, this step will be faster.

Today's Palawan Island can no longer see the existence of indigenous people. More than 10,000 immigrants from the country have become the new owners here. In order to reassure immigrants, it is also listed as the first rice planting base in Xinhua. It not only enjoys tax reduction, but also allocates the chemical fertilizer that is still experimental for the first time. For everyone's use is to increase production so that immigrants can see the hope that life is getting better and better, and they can take root here at ease.

The thorough clean-up of the local indigenous people is the principle set by himself at the beginning. In fact, he does not know whether it is right or wrong to do so. From the perspective of later generations, this is simply a premeditated genocide after using the war as an excuse, but now it is 1904, and even the British Empire is playing this in South Africa.

However, with the gradual improvement of the framework of the political axe in various places, it is impossible for this kind of clean-up to appear on a large scale. On the contrary, in order to maintain the image, the political axe also has to make a posture to protect the local people in order to quickly form stability.

The political axe and the warlords are different. If a political axe is always dealt with by means of slaughter, it will not only fail to show its majesty, but will be overthrown by the backlog of anger sooner or later. Therefore, Li Mo took the initiative to find Li Enfu to modify the strategy and use a large number of immigrants to enrich here to ensure the situation of the majority of Chinese in the shortest time.

Now along the center here, the footsteps of the Chinese are scattered. According to the statistics at the end of last year, the influx of Chinese into Luzon and Borneo alone reached 3 million. According to Li Enfu's idea, the number of Chinese in this area must reach 10 million in the next five years to ensure a balanced population.

Although there are at least 8 million locals living in this area, including Luzon, even if you don't use fierce means, the impact will not be great. In this era of low medical care, you only need to skew a little bit on medical care and education. It doesn't take 20 years, and 10 million Chinese will become 20 million, 30 million or even 50 million, completely become the master here!

Judging from the current progress of immigration, the effect is also very good. In addition to Borneo, local people in other places are accepting the arrival of Chinese. Under the influence of the Chinese, they have gradually stepped out of the rainforest and become the largest source of labor for various plantations and mines.

Out of concern about the future, almost all of the current Nanyang is mainly engaged in planting and mining. There are only a few roughing and light industries. Although it is a little single, this is what Li Mo is willing to see.

To be honest, there are a lot of resources on this tens of thousands of islands. Some can be developed now, and some must wait for technological progress, but his biggest dream is to use it as a rich raw material and food base, rather than developing industry here.

The reason why I think so is that no one knows whether there will be a lot of reading ideas in the future. If we engage in industry, once there is a problem, we will strengthen these people. Therefore, it is better to simply develop agriculture and planting. Minerals are only mining, or rough processing, and put all other links in China. It's safe.

The naval battle on Sibilu Island is over, and the fleet is on its way back. This battle has basically confirmed Xinhua's dominance in the Pacific Ocean, and has also won a real chance to breathe. The gift from Zhao Long in the north at the same time also indicates that the threat of the north is being quickly removed.

Although Nicholas II gathered more than 500,000 troops and was besieging Tomsk at night, the fourth infantry was not a vegetarian. Although it belonged to a child's home compared with the real mechanized infantry division in later generations, it is not a joke that only equipped the 152mm heavy artillery equipped with the runner at present. The two divisions have more than 400 doors. Cannons of all calibers, coupled with a large number of machine guns, Du Dazhuang's leadership of the Guard Corps to help, and tens of thousands of construction regiments spent a winter and night to build fortifications, enough to make the Russians with a serious lack of desire to fight suffer.

When several divisions in the Northeast Theater continue to support along the Siberian artery left by the Russians, the Russians will not consider a breakthrough, but whether they will be surrounded.

It is necessary to determine a long-term strategy!

Li Mo pulled out a green rice ear from the field and put it on the tip of his nose. The green taste made him feel very comfortable.

"Uncle Tian, I heard that your rice yield increased a lot last year?"

Although Li Mo was dressed in plain clothes and only brought a few guards, when he saw those scattered big men, Uncle Tian, who immigrated from Hebei three years ago, began to be a little flustered. Luo Sanniang next to him quickly comforted him when he saw this and said, "Uncle, my husband heard that this is a treasure land, and growing rice is much more productive than other places. That's why I came here to have a look.

Several years of patrition and excellent life have made the former pirate master more and more beautiful, especially after giving birth to a child, and his whole body exuded a familiar plum-like atmosphere, which made Uncle Tian, who was questioned, feel at ease a lot. He really regarded Li Mo as the young master of which family and said with a smile, "This young master, old man Tian is not To tell you the truth, this is indeed a treasure land, which is much better than our hometown.

"Oh, isn't it?" Li Mo sat on the tong with a smile, pulled the old man Tian to sit down together and asked, "Uncle, this is my first time to go to sea. Please tell me about it."

Seeing that Li Mo did not think it was dirty and sat on the bunting, the fear in the old man's heart gradually calmed down. He pointed to the paddy fields in front of him and said, "Ha ha, the old man dares not talk nonsense to you. Look at the growth? I have planted fields all my life, and I have only seen such good paddy fields and such good seedlings in the past two years. Moreover, I can grow three seasons a year here, and I don't have to worry about the Yellow River breaking the embankment. It's true that the treasure is true.

"But I have a lot of things in Xinhua, and there are also three ripe paddy fields in Guangxi, Guangdong and other places. Why can't we increase the output?" Li Mo asked hypocritically, and grabbed the earth and pinched it: "Is it really a treasure?"

"Of course not." Mr. Tian patted his thigh: "In addition to being able to grow three seasons a year, the land here is much better than our hometown in Hebei, but it may not be better than Jiangnan. This is mainly because of the blessing of the emperor, he brought us something called fertilizer, and also sent special people to teach us how to use it. Otherwise, there would not be such a high yield. "."

Unexpectedly, this old man Tian actually wrote all the credit on his own head. Li Mo rubged his nose and continued to say, "After using that fertilizer, how much is this mu of production?"

Speaking of this question, Mr. Tian suddenly cracked the corners of his mouth and stretched out four fingers and shook them proudly: "Four stones."

Although Li Enfu had already asked people to report the number of the test field, he was afraid of the following fakes, so Li Mo took advantage of the gap of Lu Song waiting for the return of the fleet to make a special trip to investigate, but these four fingers full of callus still made him almost want to roar excitedly, because this was not 1995, but 19, Year 05! The famous father of hybrid rice has not been seen yet.

You should know that the output of this mu has almost doubled the domestic average!

According to the folk algorithm left by the Qing Dynasty, one stone is about 60 kilograms. That is to say, after the old man Tian uses chemical fertilizer, one mu of rice can produce 240 kilograms of rice, which is 720 kilograms in three seasons a year. According to the calculation of 50 mu of land planted by seven people in the old man's family, it is 36,000 kilograms of rice a year!

Judging from the current price of 50 kilograms of rice in Xinhua, this old man's income is at least more than 360 yuan a year. Although he has to deduct fertilizer costs and other things, it is almost five times more than that of the end of the Qing Dynasty!

Seeing Li Mo happy, the old man also seemed to open the chatter box and told him that the houses in this immigrant residential area were built by political axes with guys. There were about a thousand people. In addition to planting rice, everyone also went to the political axe to register and opened a large number of wasteland, which was specially used to grow sweet potatoes and vegetables. Next year Everyone is also going to raise pigs. In addition, there are two young gentlemen in the town, and the children can read for free.

What makes him most happy is that there will be a special fleet to transport the rice after it is harvested, and the political axe has also implemented the rice repurchase protection price, that is to say, no matter how much the harvest is, it can be repurchased at that price, which completely solves the worry of being afraid of cheap rice after a bumper harvest.

The only thing that worries everyone is the disease. Because they are all from the Central Plains, they are not used to the sultry climate of the Southern Ocean. Many people have died over the years. Fortunately, this year, the political axe began to build health stations in the ten immigrant towns of Palawan. There are not only Western medicine, but also special traditional Chinese medicine herbs. It is to alleviate the momentum of some diseases.

More than two hours of nagging made Li Mo feel the life of ordinary people in this era. Perhaps Chinese farmers are the simplest group in the world. Their biggest dream is to cultivate a bright future with the hard work of both hands.

Mr. Tian's words represent the voice of most farmers. It is no longer a problem for him to implement the country's leapfrog industrial development under the condition of using the foresight of the development path of the Second Industrial Revolution. With the establishment of several large state-owned industrial groups, they have become rich under their own influence. A group of businessmen have also begun to invest in industry, and a large number of valuable scientific research talents have arrived, and the great leap forward in industry will soon be realized.

At this time, how to use industrial fruits to drive agricultural development, let farmers out of heavy physical labor, and benefit the majority of them has become a top priority.

No matter when and where, agriculture is the foundation of a country. Your country also needs to eat and drink in the developed people. Therefore, if you can promote fertilizer as soon as possible, at least you need to create a planting area of hundreds of millions of mu first, so that you don't have to worry about food.

You should know that agriculture is not only related to the stability of the country, but also an important weapon to the outside world. There are many places and countries in the world that are short of food. The experience of later generations tells him that sometimes food is more useful than bullets and cannons!

But he doesn't understand agriculture. He is a complete lay business, so he doesn't dare to command randomly. But basically, he still knows, such as the construction of fertilizer factories is imminent, the establishment of seed banks, the introduction of foreign high-value-added agricultural and planting products, large-scale irrigation water conservancy construction, and soil conservation in the Central Plains. For other problems, we need to start to speed up.

Since the past dynasties, once the society is stable, the arrival of prosperity is accompanied by the rapid growth of people **. Now it is 400 million, maybe it will be 500 million in ten years, and in 20 years, it will be 600 million, 700 million!

If this problem is put in the past, it may be a headache, but now there is no need to worry. The ten provinces of Nanyang alone can accommodate at least 200 million people, and almost a Chinese-sized Siberia is enough to accommodate hundreds of millions of people, so it is not much at all now, but it is pitifully small.

In the end, what surprised Li Mo was that what Mr. Tian was most worried about was not the harvest or disease, but that the fleet that came to Thailand before said that the Russians had come over and gathered dozens of warships, so everyone was worried that such a good day would be gone in a blink of an eye.

Li Mo laughed, and even San Niang couldn't help comforting him, "Uncle Tian, don't worry, the Russian warship can't be beaten in his life!"

"Really!" Mr. Tian stood up with wide eyes and heard the teacher in the town say that it was dozens of warships several times larger than the largest ship in the fleet!

Do you mean?

Before the old man Tian asked, a guard suddenly came to him and saluted, "Your Majesty, Madam, Chief of Staff has an urgent call. The British Prime Minister has arrived in Manila."

"Your Majesty, your Majesty!"

Old man Tian was stupid. He didn't expect that this young man who looked like a boy next door and sat side by side on the rive of the field chatting with him turned out to be the emperor!

With a bang, the old man Tian knelt down on his knees and kowtowed with a pale and nervous face and shouted, "The old man has no eyes. Please forgive me."

"Get up." Li Mo knew that he might scare others to help, so he quickly asked the guard to help the old man Tian and said with a smile, "Uncle, live a good life. As long as you plant the field well and produce more grain, our Han people will get better day by day."

"As for the Russian warships, our navy has sent them all into the sea to feed the bastards!"

"Tell the people in the town, and also tell your descendants, here! It will always be our land!"

Until Li Mo and the guards left, Mr. Tian stood still in a daze and muttered to himself, "Will it always be our land?"

"It will always be our land!"

"The emperor said that this place will always be our land!" As he kept saying this sentence, Mr. Tian's eyes became brighter and brighter. Finally, he suddenly shouted, spread his feet and ran to the town.

Originally, after Mr. Tian said that he had seen the emperor, everyone thought he was crazy, but half an hour later, Luo Sanniang suddenly came to the town to visit everyone with the honor of the imperial concubine, and went to the medical center to visit several sick children. Finally, after having dinner with his family at Mr. Tian Laohan's house, everyone really I believe the emperor has come to this big island!

When Luo Sanniang, with the honor of the imperial concubine, surrounded by reporters and bodyguards, carried out condolences to the immigration areas of Nanyang islands on behalf of the emperor and the royal family, Li Mo had already quietly returned to Luzon.

In the huge Subic naval base, the Earl of Salisbury laughed and talked with Li Mo while looked at the huge military port comparable to Portsmouth, and was extremely shocked.

Although I heard that although Xinhua defeated Japan, defeated Russia twice, annexed Borneo, and almost made the Far East Fleet of the British Empire turn into sand, it was not until he saw this huge military port with his own eyes that he really realized that Britain had lost the Far East!

The young and outrageous emperor in front of him took ten years to establish a powerful regime on this land. The annexation of Siberia is inevitable, which means that for the first time, the world will have a huge force that is both the largest land and one of the naval world powers!

At this moment, he couldn't help but regret the decision made many years ago. Wouldn't it be better if Britain did not support Japan so wholeheartedly at that time, but turned to support this young man and help him unify the country?

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world, and the British Empire doesn't need to regret it!

The Earl of Salisbury straightened up again and regained the posture of the Prime Minister of the world's most powerful country. He suddenly asked, "Your Majesty, I don't know that you bombarded a neutral port for your fleet, causing tens of thousands of innocent lives, and as many as 3,000 merchants from other countries are preparing for this. How to deal with it?

Unexpectedly, the Prime Minister of the British Empire, who hooked his nose and looked a little gloomy, did not discuss Russia. He took the matter first, which showed that Britain was still very ** to Malacca, so Li Mo quickly said, "Dear Count, I will make a sincere apology to the Netherlands and other countries for the behavior of our fleet, and And I have asked the political axe to compensate for the wrongdoing of the navy, but at the same time, I also hope that the Dutch political axe can tell me why, as a neutral country, provided coal-fired assistance in the war between our country and Russia, and three days before the war, in the Far East!"

Li Mo sneered and watched Salisbury bend the corners of his mouth: "I need a reasonable explanation, otherwise I can't convince my naval fleet, because it was the help of the Dutch that made my navy sacrifice the lives of hundreds of sailors. I want to know why!"

"For this reason, I don't hesitate to prolong the anger of the navy!"

When Li Mo said the last sentence, even a figure like Salisbury couldn't help trembling. This was a madman. The most important thing was that this madman won a complete victory in the face of the huge Russian fleet, and not even a capital ship sank. If he really wanted to take the Netherlands, then even Britain The national ax will also have to consider the cost of intervention!

But the problem is that the island of Sumatra is too important. Once it is acquired by Li Mo, Britain will have to face the loss of the Strait of Malacca, and even the safety of the Indian Ocean at all times!

Thinking of this, the Earl of Salisbury hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I think the Dutch political axe is the political axe of the person in charge, and will definitely explain the private decisions of some officials. In addition, I also hope you can restrain your fleet. The Netherlands is a neutral country. If a neutral country is attacked, Then other countries have the right to help resist.

"Ha ha, pulling Europe to threaten the young master?!" Li Mo sneered from the bottom of his heart, but now is really not the time to solve Malacca, and if he continues to rob the land of the Southern Ocean, it is bound to worry other countries and regimes in Southeast Asia. In this way, all these people will be pushed down on the side of Britain and France, which is not in the interests of Xinhua.

The land is large enough. A Siberia is equivalent to doubling the land area, plus Borneo, Luzon, Sulawesi, Malugu Islands and half of New Guinea, as well as the renaming former Micronesia and Solomon Islands, plus Honolulu, Ogasawara Islands and Hokkaido. As for the Chiba Islands, the land area is almost three times that of the later republics, and the sea area is dozens of times!

It's enough for me to digest for decades.

Instead of occupying all and pushing everyone down the enemy's side, it is better to give up some space for Southeast Asian countries to live freely now to relieve the pressure on small countries after the continuous expansion of Xinhua in recent years.

The land is endless, and almost all the best have been swallowed. Why waste time and money to occupy some land of little value? Xinhua's Asian hegemony has been established. As long as the remaining countries and regimes are not fools, they will know how to make a change. Therefore, it is better to concentrate on it, burying its head for a few years, and use of its grasp of the second industrial revolution to prepare for better land and resources in the future.

So Li Mo immediately said, "Dear Count, I am very much looking forward to the British Empire to uphold justice. To be honest, I don't need those lands. As long as I can get a reasonable explanation, I will guarantee that as long as I can ensure that the interests of my Xinhua people are treated fairly, my army will never set foot on Sumen. The island of Lama and Java.

"Is this true?!"

Salisbury shouted out. He didn't expect Li Mo to say this, and he suddenly changed his mind. Does this represent a major change in Xinhua's foreign policy?

While he was thinking, Li Mo suddenly laughed, pointed to the smoke outside the bay, and said proudly, "Your Excellency, I would like to invite you to welcome the triumphant warriors together, okay?"

Hearing the invitation, Salisbury suddenly turned his head, and his pupils sharply shrank into a little cold star!

The one came back with a proud record of the huge Russian expeditionary fleet that had just defeated, and a fleet full of smoke and fierceness!
