Chapter 386 Your Majesty, what on earth do you want to do?!

Haha, it scared everyone! Why do you want to get into the bottomless hole? Explanation in the next chapter--

"This Sun Jiugong, without blinking an eye, this is 150,000 people!"

In the study, Li Mo pushed open the window, and the Kunming Lake outside immediately drifted to a cool breeze, dispelling the sultry heat in the room. What was hotter than the weather was the mood. Xinjiang Province finally recovered. Ali Matu's Northwest Army in the First World War with almost no resistance. 30,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry were like hot blades poking into the cheese. He went straight to the border in one breath, and a full 150,000 rebels and civilians were killed.

Before Zuo Zongtang, the Hui people in the northwest were almost killed by the retaliated Han people. Ma Anliang and Dong Fuxiang brought the last hundreds of thousands of people to Xinjiang Province when they fled. In addition, the Hui people in Qinghai, Gansu, who were deceived by them with lies all the way, almost gathered more than 500,000 people.

This is also their last vitality. But first, Urumqi's attack and defense killed as much as 50,000, and another 50,000 people were captured as members of the Construction Corps, using hard labor to reform their minds. Later, in the small-scale chase between the two sides, they were almost defeated in a row and did not achieve a decent victory. Sun Jiugong Using Mongolian cavalry deliberately, the ancestors of these guys on the grassland were executioners who killed people without blinking an eye. At the insentice of Sun Jiugong, they were originally slaughtered where they had passed, but now it is another 150,000. At least for decades, Li Mo did not have to think about their problems.

Although Li Mo does not advocate methods such as extermination, it is now 1901, not 2001. The New China Army has done more in Borneo and other places. He is not disgusted with these people, but he has no good impression. As long as he thinks about the [***] of later generations, he has reason to block these people outside the border.

I don't know if he has been back for a long time, and his thoughts are slowly approaching this era. After hearing this number, he just sighed slightly, and Chen Ping, who came to report, was even more disapproving and said, "Your Majesty, sometimes you can't be soft-hearted."

"I know." Li Mo nodded: "I'm just thinking that there is a lack of more than 100,000 labor in the northwest. Originally, there are few human resources there, but now there is a shortage of so many people, and I don't know when I can recover."

"The population of the northwest is originally sparse, and Xinjiang is a remote place, but I think that while it is gradually calming down now, we can start to migrate to the northwest. However, all parts of Qinghai, Gansu have not been restored by the catastrophe decades ago. I'm afraid I have to emigrate from other places. Fang Dong's brain. Chen Ping thought about it and said.

Li Mo nodded. If you want to fundamentally solve the population problem in the northwest, immigration is definitely necessary, but the plot of the Chinese people's love for home is very deep. If you want them to go to the bitter and cold place in the northwest, you need to use some brains.

In addition to stimulating by economic means, it is also necessary to ensure that these people have work and fields, so this kind of thing can't be rushed, so he immediately said, "You can discuss this with Mr. Li about this matter. There are still many people without land in the south of the Yangtze River. It should be no problem to gather millions of people. In addition, you tell him that it's best. It is possible to move more in the Central Plains. The land in these places has been cultivated for thousands of years, and the land has long been overwhelmed. If we can take advantage of the immigrants to move the population out of this area and carry out water and soil conservation, maybe it will be revital in a hundred years.

"Your Majesty is far-sighted. You have set up a forest company before. I'm afraid it's for this, right?" In a good mood, Chen Ping couldn't help flattering.

Li Mo smiled. Just as he was about to continue talking, he saw a flash of a figure at the door and asked, "Come in."

It was Li Xiufeng who walked in. After seeing Li Mo and Chen Pingli, he said, "Your Majesty, the news of the railway entering Tibet has also been released, and the preparatory company in Shanghai has also been registered. According to your opinion, I have purchased machinery from Europe and the United States, and also recruited experts and technical workers through European newspapers, but Britain has explicitly refused, and also said that the construction of the railway into Tibet will seriously affect the relations between the two countries. They also protested to the Prime Minister and asked you to consider carefully and not to do anything that damages the interests of the two countries again.

"Where's the manpower?" After listening to Li Xiufeng's report, Li Mo hooked the corners of his mouth and continued to ask.

"The Prime Minister has sent a special envoy to Japan. It is said that Xixiang has been moved by the road and is willing to let us collect 300,000 workers. Germany is also willing to let us collect 50,000 in Kyushu Island, but the United States is a little unhappy, saying that we are deliberately enslaved and mutilated, because the railway into Tibet is all the way to the plateau, and the air is sparse. There are few people, but this kind of speech can't be affected. At present, the domestic economy is still very difficult. Although Xixiang Congdao has calmed down the rebellion and unified the island, Germany, the United States and the United Kingdom have been deeply involved. Recently, there have been a meeting to discuss the distribution of silk profits.

"The other side of Borneo is very fast. Lord Zhong Wenyao has sent the first batch of people here, but I'm afraid it will take a month for them to arrive in Qinghai."

"Ha ha, the Americans are worried that we will harm you, but that we will take away all the young and strong laborers in Japan, and no one will repair them in China and the Alaska Railway." Chen Ping said, but frowned.

During this period, he was busy with the new military framework proposed by Li Mo. Although he had heard about the construction of the Tibetan railway, he had never had a chance to ask in person. What puzzled him was that everyone knew the difficulty of entering the Tibetan railway, but this time, Master Li, who was used to being wise, seemed to hear any opinions. After it was published in the newspaper, Many scholars have written to slow down the construction, and even wrote a joint letter to the Prime Minister's Office, asking Li Enfu to persuade the emperor. Unexpectedly, the Prime Minister's Office not only kept silent this time, but also actively helped to contact Japan to recruit labor, which made him very strange.

"Well, it's a good job."

Li Mo smiled and suddenly pointed to the Malay Peninsula in front of the big map and said, "You can contact Mr. Li later and say that I am in the intention to build the Grand Canal of the Isthmus. You ask him to send a special envoy to Siam to discuss immediately. In addition, it is still the same. It is still the same. It is published in the newspaper, recruit people, and go to Europe to promote it."

Kara Isthmus Canal?! As soon as Li Mo finished speaking, Chen Ping suddenly stood up, but neither of them seemed to see him. Li Xiufeng nodded and went out immediately.

Looking at the isthmus on the big map that was hooked by Li Mo just now, Chen Ping's face suddenly became solemn. This is not an ordinary place!

Kla Isthmus is the narrowest place on the Malay Peninsula. In the past two years, some people have indeed proposed to dig a canal here and build it into a Suez in the east, especially Germany and France. They were very enthusiastic. They even found the king of Siam to discuss and almost obtained the right to dig, but in the end, because of the British intervention, Siam In the end, he didn't promise to dig.

The reason for the British interference is very simple, because once the Grand Canal of the Isthmus is successfully excaveled, the distance from the Indian Ocean to Asia can be directly shortened by more than 1,000 kilometers, which can save a lot of freight and time, but that will certainly make the Strait of Malacca. This is a great threat to Britain, which is currently holding the throat of Asia.

The reason why Britain withdrew from Xinhua is not only because they could not start the second war at this time, but also related to their control of Singapore and the Strait of Malacca, because as long as they hold here, Xinhua can only make trouble in the Far East and cannot go to the Indian Ocean, where Britain's core interests are located!

According to intelligence, after the Far East Fleet went to India for correction, Britain has begun to hoard heavy troops in Singapore. The troops previously stationed in Hong Kong and Shanghai have entered Singapore, where there are already 100,000 troops.

In addition to the army, they also began to strengthen the coastal defense facilities. According to the report of the destroyers patrolling in the Strait of Malacca, during this period, Britain continued to transport a large number of shore guns and other facilities to Singapore, and began to build new forts. In addition, at least 3,000 mines were transported, and similar fishing was arranged for the first time. The lightning net of the net to prevent a sneak attack by a submarine.

The failure of the Far East has made Britain understand the important surname of curbing Xinhua, and they are also afraid that Xinhua's entry into the Indian Ocean will threaten their core interests, so their intention to fight Singapore to build a second Gibraltar fortress is obvious.

Now we are going to dig the Isthmus, which is equivalent to challenging Britain's core interests!

Siam is located between Vietnam and Myanmar, with rich land and many products. It was not invaded and became someone else's colony because Britain and France contained each other. However, now Xinhua defeated Britain, and France shrank in Vietnam. The situation of dominating the Far East is obvious. Siam has been friends with China since ancient times. Once Li Mo opened As long as it can provide enough armed security, Siam may really be moved.

And there is also France, which has been very enthusiastic about building the Karathmus Grand Canal. If they know this news, they will probably raise their hands to support it immediately. In addition, Germany, Italy and other countries are also dissatisfied with Britain's control of Singapore, so once this storm breaks out, I'm afraid it will be a storm that no one can control!

This is not a joke. If Britain does not have the technology of a Chinese-class warship, it is possible to rely on military deterrence, but the first British Intrepid is already under construction. Once it is launched and complete the test, it is not a problem to build dozens of ships with British capabilities!

Although Boer is still consuming Britain, with Britain's strong financial advantage, victory is only a matter of time. Once Britain breaks away from the Boolean vortex, I'm afraid it will cooperate with their crazy ship-building ability.

Chen Ping swallowed his saliva. Is the emperor crazy?

It was crazy to build the most difficult railway in the world, but now he is going to dig the Isthmus Grand Canal again. Does he think he has too much money? Or do you simply feel that this chief of staff is too idle and ready to find something to do for yourself?!

One north and one south, two huge near bottomless projects, Your Majesty, what on earth do you want to do?! If you think there is no money to spend, it's good to build 30 to 50 battleships!

"Yuanshou, what do you think of my plan?" Li Mo didn't seem to see a gloomy face, so he almost cried. Suddenly, he hooked the corners of his mouth, picked up the pen from the table and slammed two huge arcs on the map. Then he pointed the tip of the pen to India and smiled, "You say, if one day Britain gets up and suddenly finds that the crown of his king is about to fall off. What will you do?"

Chen Ping's eyes suddenly exploded...
