Valley Emperor - v2 Chapter 2182

On the west coast of Africa, at the mouth of the Niger River in the Gulf of Guinea, a small city stands near the mouth of the river. This kind of city is very small.

This was originally a trading station built by the Portuguese many years ago, mainly for trade through the Niger River and the indigenous peoples in the inland areas, and also to provide some supply services for passing ships, but overall there was little development.

During the Portuguese period, only a hundred or so people lived in this place.

Later, after the Datang people occupied the west coast of Africa, they also took over a large number of colonies in the coastal areas of Africa, including this small town, from Portugal.

Datang people also have little interest in this small town called Hekou Town, but put their main foothold on the Gold Coast of Ghana next door.

Later, after the steam engine ships ran rampant, this broken place did not even have the function of providing the last supply, and the Datang officials even withdrew from the town.

In the follow-up, there are only occasional private caravans or expeditions stationed here to prepare for the follow-up deep into the Niger River.

Now, in this small place called Hekou Town, the dilapidated buildings once again ushered in a new face, they are the Tatars who came from afar.

According to the relevant agreements signed between the Tang Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, the Tatars’ future territory is the northeastern part of the Gulf of Guinea, the east of Ghana, and the vast coastal area from the Cameron Volcano to the south, all of which belong to their Tatars. human.

They Tatars can toss as much as they like in the future.

At the same time, for the inland areas, the Tang people will not care in principle how much the Tatars can expand inland.

Due to the uncertainty of the inland area, especially after a large number of European countries have also been determined to colonize Africa, the Tatars are also worried that they will go too late, and this vast inland area will be robbed first.

You must know that they chose to come to Nigeria, not only for this small coastal area, but also for the vast Niger River Basin.

They have visited the Niger River Basin before. The navigation conditions of this river are very good. It is much stronger than the Congo River, a big river in southern Africa. The Congo River seems to be a big river, but there are many waterfalls along the way, and the most important thing is that there are rivers in the lower reaches. A group of waterfalls, boats can’t go up the river at all.

In addition to the good navigation conditions, they also saw a fairly good piece of agricultural land in the inland area. After going deep into the inland part of the northern area, it is more suitable for farming.

There are many mineral resources and so on.

After a comprehensive decision, the Tatars finally chose this place.

But the Datang people allowed them to go, which does not mean that the Datang people completely assigned this place to them. The Tang people gave them a clear division of the land, only the coastal area. As for the inland areas, the Datang people did not give any clear This means that if other countries also came to the side to colonize, they could completely grab a large inland area first, and the Tatars would have to be blinded by then.

In order to avoid subsequent troubles, and the fact that the Tatars had already started the early migration of the entire country, the Tatars did not hesitate.

Soon a large fleet was dispatched to the mouth of the Niger River in the northeastern Gulf of Guinea.

In the fleet, in addition to the five hired steamboats of the Tang Dynasty, there were also more than 20 sailboats of their Tatars, including five sailing warships.

Naturally, these five sailing warships were not intended to fight against the Datang Navy, but to deal with the indigenous sampans that might appear locally, also to deal with possible pirates, and more to fight against the colonists of other European countries.

The era of African colonization has begun. It is not only the Tatars who come to Africa, but also other European countries. Among them, there is the United Kingdom of Spain and Portugal, a country with rich overseas colonial experience, and a country like England. A rising star in sailing, even the United Provinces had more experience than their Tatars when they colonized overseas.

Although their Tatars have the largest sailing fleet in Europe, they have little experience in ocean voyages and combat, and overseas colonization is the first time.

In order to avoid any possible trouble, this time the Tatars also took great pains. This time, the total number of large-scale immigration reached tens of thousands of people, but more than half of the soldiers.

After they arrived there as planned, they immediately established strongholds suitable for early settlement in many places along the coast.

However, their footsteps did not stop at the coastal coast. How should I put it, this coastal coast is already a territory designated by the Tang people, and there is no need to worry about other European countries coming to colonize, and many places in the coastal area are actually not suitable for mass immigration.

Therefore, after initially settling on the coast, they soon followed the river inland and built simple settlements in some important areas on both sides of the river to determine the ownership.

At the same time, it is also to prepare for the subsequent larger-scale immigration. Most of the immigrants this time are soldiers and various craftsmen. In fact, not many are ordinary immigrants.

When the first batch of soldiers and craftsmen have established a number of footholds, they can truly welcome a large number of subsequent immigrants.

The second batch of immigrants in the Tatar plan will exceed 100,000 people, and the immigrants will still be mainly young people, and they will still be young people who have been reorganized and managed militarily.

The main task of their coming here is to carry out land development in the early stage, carry out reclamation, and provide food rations for ordinary immigrants who arrive later.

The colonial development of the Tatars was much stronger than that of other European colonial countries. The official number of the first two batches was more than 100,000, which was roughly equivalent to the current six Ottoman countries.

The migration of the six Ottoman countries is strong~www.mtlnovel.com~ It was forced, they even lost their land, and now they are all headed into Africa and want to re-establish their own new country in Africa.

As for the Tatars, they simply have more people, more money, more ships and more ships.

Can support such a large-scale immigration operation!

You must know that although the Tatars will still pay for the steamboats of the Tang Dynasty to help transport them, they will only use sailboats to transport more personnel and materials.

Otherwise, the transportation of such a large scale will be carried by the Tang people, and the freight will be too high. Although the Tatars have a little money, they have to save money.

And from the Mediterranean Sea or the Baltic Sea or the Atlantic coast, this way to the west coast of Africa is not too far, and the routes are also old routes.

Even though large-scale transportation is more difficult, it is better than spending money!
