"I want this place to occupy it!"
As soon as Fu Xiaoguan finished speaking, Bai Yulian and He Sandao both raised their heads and looked at him, their eyes full of doubts.
He Sandao asked in surprise: "Boss, this place is completely blank. How do you know this is called North America?"
Fu Xiaoguan grinned: "Just give me a name in advance. This place is very big, bigger than our current territory in Daxia. It would be troublesome to immigrate from Daxia."
"Is there really a primitive tribe here?" Bai Yulian asked.
Fu Xiaoguan nodded, "It should be a very primitive tribe."
"Then we will accept them and make them the subjects of Daxia."
This is a good idea, but how to manage this place?
It is too far away from Daxia. Even at the current sailing speed of ships, it is estimated that it will take half a year. If the British find this place and attack with troops, how can they defend such a vast territory? Can you live there?
If we want to seize this territory in North America, it is imperative to establish an Ordnance Bureau here, and we must mobilize craftsmen from the mainland of Daxia.
To develop steadily, the Great Xia Army must mobilize at least two armies. The coastline of this territory is still extremely long, and a military port must be established, which must be protected by the navy...
It’s quite troublesome!
Fu Xiaoguan took a deep breath and said, "We will wait until we get to the North American continent to see how many indigenous people there are. Secondly... we will see if it is what I thought. If it is different, then It doesn’t matter if we don’t want this place. If it’s the same, we’ll be busy in the next few years.”
He Sandao didn't know why, wasn't it just a war? What a simple thing? What's there to keep busy about?
But Bai Yulian knew very well what Fu Xiaoguan meant. It was a territory larger than Daxia!
To occupy such a large territory so far away is still an extremely desolate territory. This is no different from rebuilding a brand new country.
The first thing to build a country is its people!
Even if the indigenous population in that place is large, a large number of people are needed to manage it. Such management is extremely cumbersome. The first thing is the language. This language must be unintelligible. Even officials who immigrated from Daxia in large numbers will not be able to work in the past. Language communication requires a longer period of time.
Not to mention each other's cultures and beliefs.
Of course, in Bai Yulian's view, all the problems he thought were probably not big problems in Fu Xiaoguan's mind. However, what he didn't know was that Fu Xiaoguan was really troubled by this matter.
"Let's capture it first and then talk about it. The starting territory doesn't have to be big. When the time comes, we will leave three to five thousand soldiers to guard it. We will send fleet escorts over after we return to the country."
Next, Fu Xiaoguan sent Liu Jin to invite Yun Xiyan. The four of them carefully sorted out the chart again and determined the strategic direction of the trip.
……
……
Time passed like this, and it was November in the blink of an eye, and the first snow of the second year of Great Summer fell in Guanyun City.
The heavy white snow makes Ruoda's Guanyun City look like it's covered in silver, which is very beautiful.
But Nangong Yiyu, who was sitting under the old pine tree on the cloud viewing platform, was not in a very good mood.
His mood has nothing to do with His Majesty, nor has it anything to do with the functioning of the court.
It has been more than a month since His Majesty left Guanyun City, but the feedback from all aspects of Daxia's court is still good. At least for now, it is no different from when His Majesty stayed in Guanyun City.
Nangong Yiyu is depressed because of the news that just came back from Tianji Pavilion - Daxia's seven vassal countries have now fully accepted Daxia's trade agreement, using gold as the general equivalent, and allowing free trade between the two sides.
This is a perfect step. If this step is taken, it will find a way for Daxia's international trade.
According to Fu Xiaoguan's previous order, Yu Dingshan's troops of the First Division of the First Army of the Great Xia Army left the Far North Road and continued to explore north. Thousands of miles away from the Far North Road, they indeed found a place called Loulan Kingdom.
Here, Daxia's trade negotiators met with strong opposition from the king of Loulan.
The negotiation naturally broke up unhappily, but no one expected that all the Daxia trade negotiators would be ordered to be arrested by the Lord of Loulan Kingdom!
According to the original plan, if the negotiation could not be concluded, the First Division would come out to defeat it, because this is one of the links in the Silk Road planned by His Majesty.
But the First Division of the First Army of the Army, which is currently stationed at the foot of Dingfang Mountain outside Loulan, has taken action against the enemy. Yu Dingshan did not dare to act rashly in order to save the lives of these officials.
Yu Dingshan drew up a rescue plan, but the risk was extremely high. If it failed, not only would hundreds of soldiers be killed, but none of the twenty officials in this group would be able to survive.
What Nangong Yiyu is worried about is that his grandson Nangong Yan is among this negotiating team!
To save or not to save?
If they attack the Loulan Kingdom directly without saving, according to Yu Dingshan's analysis, ten thousand army soldiers can wipe out the Loulan Kingdom, but there is no doubt that the twenty negotiators will never survive.
If we want to save... Three hundred soldiers disguised themselves and went two hundred miles deep into the Loulan Kingdom to Loulan City. They wanted to sneak into Loulan City and then break through and enter the Penal Department Prison. That was the heart of the Loulan Kingdom and was absolutely tightly defended.
What is the difference between this and a sheep entering a tiger's mouth?
Just when Nangong Yiyu was inexplicably irritable, Zhuo Yi walked over and sat opposite him.
"My opinion is rescue, and so is Zhuo Biejie's opinion."
"But with three hundred soldiers going deep into the enemy's country, the probability of success is too low."
"This matter is very strange. We Daxia and the Loulan Kingdom have no enmity or enmity. Even if the negotiation is not successful, there is no reason to detain people..." Zhuo Yixing stroked his long beard and frowned and said: "Unless Loulan The country knows that our established policy is to strike down if we can’t negotiate!”
"The Loulan Kingdom is unwilling to accept the trade agreement, but they are even less willing to subjugate the country, so they took our officials as hostages in order to force us to retreat. There are two points to note here. One is who is attacking the king of Loulan Kingdom? Have you talked about our policy? Secondly...since Loulan Country wants to take hostages, our people are safe for the time being."
"You don't have to worry too much. Zhuo Bieli has ordered Guan Xiaoxi, who is stationed on the Far North Road, to personally lead a division to rush for reinforcements. There will be good news."
Nangong Yiyu took a deep breath, his pupils tightened, and his vision condensed, "This wastes too much time. My opinion is... destroy the Loulan Kingdom directly!"
"On the land Silk Road, the Kingdom of Loulan is a key node. According to His Majesty's decree, this golden road will be relayed by the Kingdom of Loulan, going north to the Kingdom of Qiuci, and going south to the Kingdom of Da. Wan State... Lao Zhuo, this is a national policy. What does it mean to sacrifice some people in the face of national policy?"
"No, you are wrong! If His Majesty were here, he would definitely choose to rescue, because people are the foundation of a country!"
