The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

Latest website: As the former city hall meeting room of the army headquarters, everyone was eloquent and expressed their warm congratulations to Yan Le for taking the city of gold!

The small losses in this battle and the great results achieved were unexpected.

In particular, the night raid on Johannesburg was a great success. Some people praised Yan Lenai for being "Ding Fengxue's short-term soldiers" during the Three Kingdoms period!

This allusion is that during the Three Kingdoms period, the Wei general Hu Zun led one hundred thousand land and sea troops to attack Dongxing County in Dongwu. Wu Guo veteran Ding Feng was ordered to lead three thousand navy troops to assist. Hu Zun saw that his troops were few, so he didn't think it was a problem.

Ding Fengzhe, the veteran of the four dynasties of the Wu Kingdom, has fought all his life, fought with the northern regime from the era of Cao Cao to the era of Sima Yan, served four generations of monarchs from Sun Quan to Sun Hao, and has extremely rich combat experience.

Seeing that the enemy despised himself, Ding Feng strengthened himself and threw the boat on the water. It was said that the general said: "A man who is worthy of fame and wealth is today!" He ordered the army to take off their armor and helmets. Spear euphorbia, only a short knife.

Wei Bing laughed when he saw it, and was not even prepared.

Ding Feng took the opportunity to enter Wei Zhai with short soldiers. Wei Bing was caught off guard. Generals Han Zong and Huan Jia were killed by Ding Feng. There were countless people killed by Wu Jun. Hu Zun rushed to the horse and ran away.

This time, Yan Le led Eight Thousand Nights to attack Johannesburg without heavy artillery or strong firepower to open the way, relying on individual soldiers to use guns to achieve victory, which is really rare. It is similar to Ding Fengfeng's short soldiers.

Everyone slapped Yan Le flattery, Yan Le quickly thanked him, and turned the subject away: "This is simply a god-given land!"

In the headquarters, everyone watched him personally excavate the pure gold extracted from the gold ore, and praised him!

A total weight of 84 taels is 4.2 kilograms of gold!

It was refined into four large gold bricks of one kilogram and a small gold bar of 200 grams. This was the result of his seven-day mining, and the value reached 1,200 silver dollars.

At that time, the income of ordinary people in the South China Empire was about 40 silver dollars per year, which means that Yan Le only spent seven days and earned ordinary people's income for 30 years!

Of course, the gold mine selected for Yanle's excavation is the main vein, and the yellow and golden rock walls have very high gold content.

But it wasn't just Yan Le, at least a few hundred officers and soldiers had obtained gold equal to or more than Yan Le, which shows the amount of gold here.

Mining here hasn’t been long, but the ground has been peeled off, and how much gold there is still under the ground is hard to count.

Everyone in the headquarters was smiling. They all participated in the seven-day gold mining activity. Everyone had a share and had enough time!

After everyone laughed enough, Yan Le said: "Now declare your majesty's will!"

Instead of kneeling down, everyone stood up and listened.

"The place was renamed Jinyang City, military control was implemented, manpower development was organized to ensure that gold was included in the empire, and gold thieves were severely punished!" Yan Le said the main point, and then he asked everyone to sit down and tell them: "Gold belongs to Owned by the empire, even a tiny bit of ore scraps cannot be claimed!"

"We must develop gold mines, send gold to the treasury, and at the same time defend the gold mines and eliminate all foreign enemies who dare to seize the gold mines." Yan Le said.

Someone asked: "Who will be used to develop gold mines?"

Yan Le replied to the wrong question: "Your Majesty has decided that South Africa is the territory of the Chinese since ancient times, so there are only Chinese in South Africa!"

The officers exchanged glances and understood what the commander meant, that is, in Africa, South Africa is the second Sudan!

There are only Chinese in Sudan and only Chinese in South Africa, which means that the workers who go to the mines can only be Chinese.

It's a pity that the cost is high. If you use slaves who don't have to pay, the harvest will be even higher.

Emperor Yan Changwu wanted to pay the miners a high salary so that everyone could make money.

If you use slaves, it means that the empire makes money, and the people don’t get profit.

Seeing everyone's regretful eyes, Yan Le changed the topic and said that his Majesty allowed a five-year grace period, that is, within five years, slaves can be used to participate in mining, but after five years all slaves will be expelled and no slaves may be left.

He came up with a lot of management plans. He stated that we must first do a good job in infrastructure, develop carefully, not waste ore, and do a good job in refining to ensure that gold is included in the national treasury.

At the meeting, he assigned tasks to the officers, some were in charge of infrastructure construction, some were in charge of defense, some were in charge of development, and so on.

After the meeting was over, the soldiers began to perform tasks in accordance with military orders.

The first is to do a lot of infrastructural construction. After surveying, we found a place with little gold in the mining area and started to build the city wall.

Tens of thousands of people and thousands of white-skinned slaves worked together to build the walls of the city to ensure their own safety.

You can learn from the car ahead and don't be careful.

The white skin of Johannesburg's city defense was very poor, and it was easily broken by the South China Army and lost the city of gold.

The Chinese city’s defenses are as high as ten meters, and the city built is two thousand steps, with a circumference of six or seven miles, covered with protective fortifications, as indestructible as a copper wall and an iron wall!

The city is an army station and gold storage place, and a small city is built next to it, which is a residential building.

Build wooden walls and dig trenches in the houses.

He was busy building houses, roads, and water diversion, and at the same time he sent people to start building mines.

Those migrant workers turned into miners on the spot, becoming the first batch of gold miners in Jinyang City.

They set up mining areas, lanes for transporting mines, and smelting plants.

As an important source of help, the Chinese found coal mines.

There are experts in the company, they have rich technology, and they have great experience in exploring and developing coal mines.

In fact, South Africa’s coal resources are extremely rich. Yan Changwu knows a data, that is, South Africa’s coal resources amount to 205.7 billion tons, accounting for 83% of Africa!

After the coal mine is found, it is mined to provide fuel for gold smelting.

The process of getting gold is not easy. To get gold as heavy as a golf ball, you need to dig out 9.39 tons of soil and remove a lot of impurities from the gold mine, which weighs about 9,389 kilograms.

The gold ore excavated by the mining station must go through multiple processes such as grinding, elutriation, sintering, lead reduction smelting and ash blowing~www.wuxiaspot.com~ to get gold.

Further refining needs to be done, but the mercury-mixed gold purification method. This is an ancient gold purification method. As long as you have patience, you can mention high purity.

However, this method is used to prevent mercury vapor poisoning. In ancient times, because there were no chemicals such as nitric acid and sulfuric acid, the above method could only be used.

Therefore, to obtain gold requires a lot of physical strength and risking life to get these yellow things.

Compared with Baipi, the Chinese people’s mining conditions are more favorable, because they have coal mines, provide sufficient fuel, and hydraulic mills to crush the ore. This is the specialty of the Chinese. In addition, the miners have a better living environment and food. Better and strong technical force, the key is assembly line operation, each person is only responsible for one process, unlike the white-skinned miners who have to do almost the whole process, from the beginning to the end-they can't trust others.

The speed of specialization is of course fast. According to the white-skin slaves, the speed of the Chinese is three times as fast as they are!

In just six weeks, the first batch of gold has been shipped out, and it has been continuously shipped back to the South China Empire Rising Sun City!
