Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Yanshan City, Benin Bay, Gold Coast, West Africa.

    Yanshan City is one of the five major colonial strongholds of North Korea in West Africa, and it is also the northernmost colonial stronghold. It mainly relies on colonial trade to plunder gold, silver and ivory from the indigenous people.

    But at the same time, it also has one of the characteristics of Eastern colonization, which is the massive land expansion, land reclamation, and immigrant population. Here, there are more than 30,000 Korean immigrants.

    At this moment, in the City Lord's Mansion of Yanshan City, Li Yi looked at the dilapidated City Lord's Mansion, and then looked at the entire Yanshan City. After being bombarded by pirate artillery fire, Yanshan City was full of ruins, corpses, and women and children everywhere.  Crying sounds, a desolate scene.

    "Damn pirates!"

    "Abominable European barbarians, white-skinned pigs~" Sijia.com Si

    Li Yi almost shouted out through gritted teeth.

    He is the younger brother of Yeonsangun. He is only in his early twenties. He is considered a Korean in the new era. He grew up in an era of rapid navigation, colonial era and the early stage of rapid development of capitalism.

    Although the country of Korea is small, because it is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, it clings to the big and thick legs of the Ming Dynasty, and the country of Korea has also achieved great development.

    North Korea has several islands in the Southeast Asia given by the Ming Empire, and many colonies in Tianzhu, East Africa, and West Africa. It can obtain a large amount of wealth from the colonies every year, and its overseas trade development is also extremely rapid.

    At the same time, following the emergence and development of Ming capitalism, North Korea's domestic capitalism also developed very rapidly, and it was inextricably linked with the capitalism of the Ming Empire from the beginning.

    Stimulated by many favorable conditions, originally in history, in the 18th year of Hongzhi, Lord Yanshan was ousted due to a domestic coup, and this Li Yi was sent to power by powerful ministers.

    But until now, Lord Yeonsang¡¯s rule in Korea has remained very stable, and the sharp domestic conflicts have been greatly alleviated by maritime trade colonization, overseas trade, and the rapid development of capitalism.

    And Li Yi, the younger brother of Lord Yanshan, was naturally driven out of North Korea by Lord Yanshan.

    ¡°Well, this is also what we learned from the Ming Empire. The children of the royal family, princes and the like must learn from the princes of the Ming Dynasty. If they have the ability, they can go overseas and build a colony.

    So Li Yi came to West Africa and established the colony of Yanshan City here.

    After finally building Yanshan City with great difficulty, Li Yi also learned from the princes of the Ming Dynasty and planned to build this place into a vassal state of Korea. In the future, he would build it as his own one-third of an acre of land.

    Now it is almost back to before liberation, and the pirates have devastated everything. You can imagine the anger in your heart.

    For Li Yi, growing up in the new era, he has the pride of an Oriental!

    Although the Ming Empire is powerful, for North Korea, if the Ming Dynasty is strong, the North Korea is strong. Anyway, Koreans can become Ming people if they go to the Ming Dynasty.

    North Korea has always regarded itself as the most loyal younger brother of the Ming Empire. At the same time, it also feels that it is the second most powerful country in the world after the Ming Empire.

    This is not just random sloganeering by North Korea.

    North Korea really has some strength.

    The first is the population of Korea. Lord Yanshan followed the example of the Ming Empire and conducted a census in Korea. The final census result was that Korea has a huge population of more than 10 million.

    A population of 10 million will naturally be nothing in future generations, but in this era, it is definitely a populous country. You must know that the general population of these countries in Europe is only a few million, like Portugal, which only has more than 100 people.  With a population of 10,000, Spain only has less than 5 million, and even France has a population similar to that of North Korea.

    With a population of tens of millions, North Korea is undoubtedly a country with a large population. This is also an important reason for the acute internal contradiction between man and land, with more people and less land, and serious land annexation.

    The second is the economy of North Korea, because following the development of overseas trade, overseas colonization and capitalism in the Ming Dynasty, North Korea's economy also developed extremely rapidly.

    In terms of tax revenue received, Ming Dynasty can receive more than 500 million taels of silver a year, and North Korea can also receive more than 20 million taels of silver tax revenue a year.

    " The tax revenue of twenty million taels of silver seems to be surpassed by all countries in the world in this era, only the Ming Empire can surpass it. As for the Ottoman Empire and the Persian Empire, it may not be able to compare.

    With a huge population, a strong economy, and the Korean nation Yeonsangun¡¯sAfter thinking about it, he suggested: "In addition, we can also unite with Spain and Japan. Their colonies in West Africa were also attacked by pirates and suffered heavy losses. It is said that Japan's Sunset City was almost attacked.  In ruins."

    ¡°In comparison, they must be gnashing their teeth in hatred of these pirates, and they will definitely send troops to destroy these pirates.¡±

    "Hmm~"

    "That's it. You go handle this matter, contact the Japanese and Spanish in Sunset City, and work together to eliminate the pirates. It's best to bring some Ming vassals and colonies."

    ¡°It would be best to unite with the vassals and colonies of the Ming Dynasty. Each of these vassals and colonies is wealthy, has a large number of ships and a powerful colonial army. It would be best if they are willing to join in the eradication of pirates.¡±

    Li Yi thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

    Then he looked at the devastated Yanshan City and said: "It seems that we need to continue to buy more artillery and build more forts from the Ming Dynasty. In this way, even if pirates come again in the future, we can use the forts to protect us."  .¡±

    Mi He Mi.  "It's just that the quality of Ming Dynasty's artillery is good, but it's too expensive. A cannon costs tens of thousands of taels of silver, which is really expensive!"
