Vol 2 Chapter 1723: South Gold Fever

Compared with other places, the localization work in the Americas is actually simpler. The main reason is that the local area is large and there are few indigenous people.

Datang's localization work mainly focused on migrating these natives to Mexico controlled by the Spaniards. At the same time, the Spaniards were very happy to accept these natives, and often sent their own people to organize the natives to migrate to Mexico.

So it is relatively simple to do.

When the performance natives migrated away, they naturally became localized.

After all, Datang's only criterion for localization is the proportion of the local population. Only when the Datang people in a place occupy the main population of the local area can they apply for a local province.

When this standard is specifically implemented, it is often more stringent, and sometimes it is necessary to complete 100% of the population structure ratio before it can be square.

At the same time, this standard does not apply to the overseas territories of the colonial model, such as those in India and Africa. In fact, all of these overseas territories are from the Tang Dynasty, but the surrounding areas are all indigenous, and the overseas territories are not allowed. Avoid also inhabited by a large indigenous population.

Therefore, at present, the islands that have better conditions to complete the localization work are actually the islands of the South China Sea and the Americas, plus some other islands or some extremely important strategic areas.

As for the vast Indian peninsula and the African continent, at present, Datang has no plans to fully localize in these places, for no other reason, the distance is too far, and there are too many indigenous peoples.

Although the Nanyang Islands have a lot of people and the environment is relatively harsh, they are all islands. You can do it one island after another, and it can be done with a little time.

As for the Nanyang Peninsula, it is purely because it is too close, and it is on the edge of the empire. Don't worry if you don't make a localized empire. The empire is ready to push the actual control line of the empire's mainland to the Bay of Bengal area.

That is to say, the entire Nanyang Peninsula needs to be included in the territory of the Empire, but this place is more difficult to do than the Nanyang Islands, so it has always been delayed, and the policy of the Fusang area was implemented locally. Tang people will not easily go into battle in person.

In addition to the Nanyang Islands and the Nanyang Peninsula, the rest are relatively easy to do with a few islands, such as Ceylon and West Indies (Madagascar)

Among them, Ceylon Island has already been localized. During the Indian Ocean War, in order to set up a large-scale military base there and bypass the restrictions of the Import and Export Commission, Datang directly migrated all the local indigenous people to India. on the mainland.

So Ceylon Island has long had no indigenous people.

It's just that the local area has always been under military control, and almost the entire island belongs to the scope of military bases, so there is no localization.

As for West Indies, the progress is much slower. After all, this place is actually of average importance, and there are many indigenous people. It is a little difficult to localize. .

In other places, such as South Africa, this place seems to be developing very well. There are already more than 100,000 people living in the huge South African plain, but it is still far from the standard of localization.

Although South Africa is on the African continent, the north is full of black and dark indigenous people, and these indigenous people are still infiltrating South Africa. Some immigrant local imperial subjects, even for private interests, will secretly hire local indigenous people for free to open up plantings. Garden, etc.

For this kind of thing, when the official finds out, they raid their homes together, but there are many people who want money or their lives, and they have not been able to completely eliminate them.

Therefore, the localization of South Africa is hopeless!

In this regard, the military is actually more anxious than the African affairs yamen. The military has proposed several times to build a city wall with a length of hundreds of kilometers on the theme of the cliffs and mountains in the northern part of the South African plain. Against various garrisoned forces, they continued to expel the indigenous people north of the city wall, striving to establish an isolation belt that stretches to the Pacific Ocean in the west, the Indian Ocean in the east, across southern Africa, and is more than 500 kilometers long.

This will prevent the deepening of the northern indigenous people!

The reason why the military is so urgent is purely to get more and better supplies from South Africa. Otherwise, everything has to be transported thousands of miles from the mainland. The cost is too high, whether it is the army or the navy. bear.

After the military proposed it, the African Affairs Yamen was also very interested in it.

The localization of various parts of Southeast Asia and Baku has given great inspiration to the officials of the African Affairs Yamen!

Let them know that localization does not mean that the whole of Africa has to be localized. It is entirely possible to do one place first and then another.

Of course, local localization conditions are too restrictive, especially the complete elimination of indigenous entry, which is difficult to achieve in many places.

To this end, the African affairs yamen has been negotiating many times between the army and the navy, striving for the joint efforts of the three parties, first localizing a local South Africa, and then slowly trying to localize other places.

These three parties are all intentions of Lang Youqing and concubine, the basis for cooperation is there, and there are even specific methods.

That is to directly ask the African labor service company to build a border wall with a length of more than 500 kilometers, but this wall needs money, and it needs a lot of money.

In the end, it was purely because of money. The military can make suggestions, but it is impossible for them to pay for the city wall.

The African affairs yamen itself is also a poor man. Although the local yamen in South Africa is also rich, it is only an overseas territory with only a few hundred thousand people. Even if it is rich, it is not rich to this point.

But this situation will soon be changed!

In the winter of the 35th year of Xuanping, a piece of news first circulated in Loren City, an overseas territory of the Tang Dynasty in eastern Africa, and then quickly spread to several other overseas territories of the Tang Empire in Africa, even in South Africa. Great thrill.

And when this news flows into these overseas territories, it will stimulate a large number of people to rush to Loren City, and then pour into the inland areas.

where do they go?

A large area called Nello by the people of the Tang Dynasty.

This place can be heard from the name. It is located in the inland area of ​​Loren City. It is hundreds of kilometers away from Loren City. In such a far inland area, at present, except for a few adventure teams that want money and death , no one will go in at all, not even those labor recruitment teams will go deep into these places.

This kind of place still maintains the original aboriginal style and has a large number of aboriginal people, and ordinary Tang people would not go there at all.

But now, they are scrambling to go there. When many people hear about it, they will go in groups or even alone. Many commercial companies operating in Africa also send caravans to go quickly!

What is the news that drives countless people crazy?

What else could it be!

Nature is gold!

An adventure team that went to the Loren area for an adventure, when they returned to Loren City, they brought back nearly a hundred pieces of gold, the largest piece weighing more than 20 kilograms!

Such a big news can't be concealed at all. Soon this adventure team split up in an instant. The members of the adventure team who have been to Nello became popular and became popular.

According to some members of the expedition team, the Nello area is almost full of gold. Wherever they are in the river, they just pick up a handful of sand, and the sand is all yellow, because it is full of gold sand!

Gold, countless gold!

This makes the Datang people in South Africa completely crazy!

One after another expedition team entered the Nello area, which also attracted the attention of the African affairs yamen.

Just a month later, the African Affairs Yamen personally organized an armed expedition of more than 2,000 people to go there. By the time they arrived, there were already at least a thousand Tang people in the Nello region panning for gold.

Immediately afterwards, at the request of the African Affairs Yamen, the Army dispatched a mixed battalion to the site to protect the local gold mines.

Soon, a Datang overseas territory farthest from the coast was established: Nello State!

The names of these two places used by the people of the Tang Dynasty are called ~www.wuxiaspot.com~. Later generations may find it strange, but in fact, the city of Loren is the Maputo of the later generations. Of course, when the people of the Tang Dynasty came here and occupied it, the place was still here. It is not called Maputo, and a small number of local Portuguese have no official name for the place, but only called it Lorenzo Magues after an early explorer.

After the Datang people came here, they felt that the geographical environment here is not bad. There is a harbor here, which can be used as a supply port if it is properly developed.

The Nello area is actually the later Johannesburg area.

There is nothing else in this place except gold!

As the largest gold mining area that has been discovered on earth, in a certain period, the gold produced here was equivalent to 75% of the world's gold reserves!

One can imagine how terrifying the gold reserves here are.

Stimulated by gold, along the hundreds of kilometers along the way, even if there are poisonous insects and indigenous people everywhere, they still can't stop the Tang people from pursuing wealth.

Countless gold diggers poured in frantically, and major companies, regardless of whether they opened gold mines or not, all companies that have business in Africa will send personnel to join in the fun.

Even after some merchant ships arrived in Loren City and heard that there was innumerable gold in Nelo City, the sailors were able to run away more than half of them on the spot, so that for quite a while, many ships were parked in the port of Loren City.

The owners of these ships didn't want to leave, but the sailors went to pan for gold, and they couldn't leave if they wanted to.

Not only ordinary sailors, but even some captains went to pan for gold, and they ran with sailors, causing countless shipowners to vomit blood.

Of course, if there are sailors and captains, it is inevitable that the owner of the ship will throw them off the ship and take people directly to pan for gold!

Now the gold in the Nello area has already caused a carnival!
