Nanming: I can build wonders

"Raksha Soldier? Are you kidding me?"

Pedro II mocked on the spot, "What qualifications do you white-skinned Mongols have to join the Crusades?"

If it weren't for the fact that Rakshasa joined the holy alliance with Shinra, they would not be allowed to participate in this meeting at all.

Empress Dowager Maria also smiled and said, "That's right, this is a matter for us Europeans, you barbaric Mongols."

"Ahem, please let me say a few words!"

The Queen Mother of Spain was interrupted mercilessly. She was very angry. She wanted to see that bastard dared to interrupt her. She turned her head and saw an oriental man in a strange robe with a Long braids, it looks really ugly.

"Who is this impudent Oriental?" asked the Empress Dowager Maria.

"I am a barbaric Mongol!"

Of course this person is Suo'etu!
Now fluent in Latin, he yelled: "I am the ambassador of the Holy Qing Mongol Empire Kangxi Khan!"

It turned out to be from Kangxi, so forget it.

The Qing Dynasty was the main force against the Ming Dynasty. Since they had a large number of troops in Tianzhu, it would depend on their faces to be stationed in South Tianzhu.

In fact, Kangxi also wanted Nan Tianzhu, but he felt that he could not fight against Zhu Kezang alone, so he led the wolf into the house.

Suo'etu said: "In fact, five thousand Cossack cavalry and ten thousand Turghut cavalry have already entered Tianzhu from the Raksha Kingdom. Although only five thousand cavalry were sent this time, the total is 2. Which of you is not convinced? "

If you don't accept it, you can't go to Nantianzhu to grab money if you don't accept it!

Empress Dowager Maria was so annoyed that those white-skinned Mongols now have backers, so they could only pinch their noses to recognize it.

The Pope nodded helplessly, and then asked the Holy Roman Emperor and King of Poland present: "Your Majesty, King Jan III, do you want to participate in the Crusade expedition to South India?"

"Of course the Holy Roman Empire wants to participate in the Crusades, but we have no time to send troops to the war in South India."

Leopold I said worriedly, "The Germans must take up arms to defend their homeland, and we can only rely on ourselves!"

In his heart, Leopold scolded William III, Empress Dowager Maria, and Pedro II to death, these unscrupulous guys.

Especially that William III, who swore to him a while ago, but changed his face during the meeting, it was really shameless.

Being confused by these three guys, what was meant to be defending Europa turned into going to South Tianzhu to grab territory.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, the Poles will always stand with the Germans!" Jan III Sobieski certainly supported Shinra.

The Holy Roman Empire is located in Central Europe, and the Kingdom of Poland is located in Eastern Europe. The two countries are regarded as neighboring countries.

Moreover, both the Kingdom of Poland and the Holy Roman Empire are the biggest obstacles on the road to Ottoman expansion. Once the Holy Roman Empire is destroyed by the Ottoman Empire, the situation of the Kingdom of Poland will be very critical.

Therefore, at a critical moment when the Holy Roman Empire is facing a life-and-death crisis, Poland will definitely take action.

Of course, without the threat of Ottoman, the relationship became delicate, so that there were three times in history to carve up Poland.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, since you want to join the Crusaders, if you don't show up, you can only pay some military expenses or food?"

The Pope has no intention of letting go of the big cow.

Emperor Leopold didn't bother to argue and nodded in agreement.

Pope Innocent XII felt the same, and immediately wanted to end the meeting and said: "I now announce that for the sake of justice and justice, we, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, France, Rakshasa, the Holy Roman Empire, Poland and Lithuania[-] The armies of the two countries will form a coalition army to fight against the enemy of God-the evil southern Indian countries!"

The Eight-Power Allied Forces was established, and Ming Dynasty, far in the east, also started to make troubles.

After settling for a while, Da Ming had a new war goal.

There is a piece of lost ground, and it's time to take it back.

"how?"

Zhu Kezang took the memorial handed over by the old eunuch Li, looked at the cover and said, "From western Sichuan?"

Open it and see that it is the document played by Pan Aqiang, the first town of Jinwei led by Qu Dajun, governor of Sichuan.

Qu Dajun was one of the three great poets in Lingnan who had been conferred by Zhu Kezang as a true Confucian scholar.

In addition to writing good poems, this person is an upright official, and being sent to Sichuan is also a benefit.

The two of them jointly told Zhu Kezang this time that the Sichuan-Tibet Highway is progressing rapidly and has been advanced according to the scheduled construction progress, and it is expected that it will be partially accessible soon.

This road is not simple, currently only the western Sichuan section is under construction, because the snowy plateau section does not belong to Ming Dynasty yet.

Ever since he took over most of the eastern and central parts of Tianzhu, Zhu Kezang, the map controller, could no longer tolerate such a large piece of land in the middle that did not belong to Ming!

Therefore, through the Confucian University Scholars Conference, the Ming court made a plan to recover the snow-covered plateau.

Zhu Kezang also has a clear understanding of regaining the snow-covered plateau, and believes that the biggest problem is not the enemy but the road.

Only by repairing the roads in a decent manner can the snow-covered plateau be completely brought under the rule of Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, the Ministry of Household Affairs of the Ming Dynasty reluctantly allocated 1000 million silver dollars to Sichuan for the recovery of the snow-covered plateau, including plateau military training, road construction, and supply transportation.

The bulk of which is naturally road construction.

But Zhu Kezang is also heroic, and he is really rich with tens of millions of silver dollars in one investment.

It's normal to have money. There are more and more house slaves in the developed cities of Ming Dynasty. The banks and the government are making a lot of money, so they naturally have more money to invest in the infrastructure industry.

In addition, selling used weapons to the Ottoman Empire is also a blood profit.

The follow-up ammunition money can earn Osman another sum.

The key to regaining the snow-covered plateau this time is western Sichuan.

The altitude in western Sichuan is over 4000 meters, which is very suitable for the army to be familiar with altitude sickness.

However, the loss is relatively large, and it is easy to kill people.

The transportation route between Sichuan and Tibet is the Ancient Tea-Horse Road. The 1958-kilometer distance between Ya’an, Sichuan and Lhasa, Tibet, is transported by yaks. It can only go back and forth once a year, and it takes more than half a year to travel on horseback.

Tibetans regard tea as an indispensable daily necessities because of "tea is the only food they eat with fishy meat, and the heat of highland barley cannot be digested without tea".

However, the snow-covered plateau area where Tibetans live has never produced tea.

In order to transport the tea from Sichuan and Yunnan into the snow area, and at the same time import the local specialties from the snow area to the Central Plains, a series of transportation lines mainly focused on tea trade were cut through among Tibetan and Han ethnic traders, back men, pack teams, and caravans. Under the spine, it was opened up.

Since the Tang Dynasty, this kind of trade relationship was mainly carried out in the form of exchanging tea from the inland with horses from snowy regions, so it was called "tea-horse trade" or "tea-horse trade" in history.The business road opened with this trade is called "the ancient tea-horse road".

Daming’s construction of the Sichuan-Tibet Highway this time was also based on the construction of the Ancient Tea-Horse Road, not from scratch.

The number of soldiers and civilians of the Ming Dynasty stationed in western Sichuan this time was as high as 20, of which [-] were troops, including [-] guards and [-] national defense troops.

This time, the cannon fodder troops from the dependent countries and annexed areas were not recruited, because only one elite soldier was needed to recover the snow-covered plateau.
