Valley Emperor

Including the coastal desert, the deeper is the high mountains, and if you continue to enter, it is the big desert. This ghost place is unwilling to go to the Tang Dynasty, and those Europeans are not very willing to colonize.

So this place belongs to a large no-man's land.

Further south in the no-man’s land is the South African city wall. This city wall is also the official boundary line of South Africa. The overall direction is actually not straight, showing the trend of southwest to northeast.

This is mainly to use natural terrain such as rivers, deserts, and mountains for blocking, but also to include the gold mines in the northeastern region of South Africa.

The west is the Orange River as a barrier, the west is the Crocodile River, and the middle of the two rivers is a large desert.

The natural terrain can be used to reduce the amount of construction of the city wall, so in most areas, there is no city wall, only some sporadic strongholds, and simple city walls only appear on flat terrain, but this kind of city wall does not have military defense. The value is said to be a city wall, but in fact it is just an ordinary wall. If the natives have to climb over the wall, they can climb over the wall with just a few things to put their feet on.

And because it is too extensive, except for some river sections and areas near gold mines that can be patrolled, most other places cannot be visited several times a year.

How to say, the symbolic significance of the wall is greater than the practical significance.

Further south of the city wall is the South African region of the Tang Empire.

It's just that in the vast area of ​​South Africa now, large areas are uninhabited places. Only the plains near the South African port and the gold mines in the northwest region and surrounding areas have been developed.

Many of the remaining places are large expanses of wilderness, enough to ensure that after the natives run over, they can walk hundreds of kilometers without seeing people!

This is the no-man's land created by the people of the Tang Dynasty!

But in any case, these places belong to the direct jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty. The Spanish, Portuguese, South Luanda, and South Africa are close to the Tang people. This will be of great benefit to the future.

On the east coast of Africa, there are also a large number of colonies of indigenous countries.

On the east coast of Africa, the northern Red Sea coastal area is the North African state directly under the jurisdiction of the Red Sea Affairs Yamen of the Datang Empire.

An area extends south from the Egyptian state in the north and the Canal Zone to the easternmost tip of the Somali Peninsula, an area called the Red Cape (Aser Cape) by the Datang people, including the adjacent Cape Island (Sokot). La Island)

It's just that Datang people's control in North Africa is superficial, only controlling a few coastal strongholds, and they have all developed in recent years. The purpose is very simple, just to control the shipping channel of the Red Sea.

The large inland areas in the south of North Africa, these are the territories reserved for the six Ottoman countries, mainly Ethiopia and Somalia.

Even in order to facilitate the migration of these Ottomans, the Datang people even designated a part of the Red Sea coastal area of ​​North Africa as six small areas for the six Ottoman countries.

This is to make it easier for the Ottomans to migrate, and also to give them an outlet to the sea, but the coastal area allocated to them is very small. After all, it is close to the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. This place is still more important to the empire, so give them to them It is enough to have one outlet for each, and other coastal areas are still under the jurisdiction of Datang North Africa.

This long and narrow coastal area of ​​North Africa has now been turned into a blockade protection zone to prevent indigenous intrusions from threatening the safety of the Red Sea.

For the Tang Dynasty, the importance of the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden is much more important than the Somali Sea. This is not only because the Red Sea is slender. If you travel from the coast of North Africa to the West Asian Peninsula, you can paddle across it with any sampan. Large-scale smuggling is likely to occur.

More importantly, the safety of the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden is related to the safety of the route between the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea.

With the opening of the Suez Canal, the importance of the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden has risen sharply, which is why the Empire has in recent years increased its control and development of the southern coast of the Red Sea.

However, there are still a large number of indigenous people in this place, which is why the Tang Empire temporarily opened the coastal passage of North Africa to allow the Ottomans to enter, making it easier for them to land from here, saving migration costs and time, and at the same time. Let the Ottomans clean up the indigenous people here a little by the way.

After the cleanup, it will be easier to block off this long and narrow area of ​​North Africa.

The six Ottoman nations occupied a large area of ​​Northeast Africa.

In the south of the six Ottoman countries, that is, the northern region of South Somalia, this is a colony designated by the Tang Empire to the Safi Dynasty.

To the south of the colony of the Safi dynasty is Mogadishu (Mogadishu) of the Tang Dynasty.

This place has always been an important port in Northeast Africa, during the Portuguese control period, and the Datang people control period as well.

Even now that the Suez Canal has opened, and a large number of ships have gone to Europe through the Red Sea, the Suez Canal, and the Mediterranean Sea, this place and several important port cities on the east coast of Africa are still important.

According to the African policy of the Datang Empire, it is also necessary to continue to control some important coastal areas, especially ports with relatively good conditions.

Mocha and further south Malindi, Mozambique, Sofala and other coastal port areas on the east coast of Africa, several coastal port areas on the west coast of Africa, such as the Gold Coast of Ghana, Luanda, Cape Verde and a series of islands such as the Archipelago and Bioko Island And so on are all out of this situation.

In the above-mentioned areas, it is not for immigration, but to control the surrounding areas by relying on the port, and provide port services at the same time.

The northern part of Kenya and part of southern Somalia to the south of Datang Mogali are colonies assigned to the Mughal kingdom. Although the Mughal kingdom is almost over, many people in the Tang Dynasty actually still have some concerns about the Mughal kingdom. I like it, mainly because this kingdom is very good~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but the Datang Empire has cheated others many times behind the scenes, so this time I have a somewhat compensatory mentality and assigned them a fairly good place. The coastal area is pretty good, and the place is big.

From the site, it is better than the site of the Safi dynasty.

To the south of the Mughal Dynasty is the Madi Chau of the Tang Dynasty.

It's just that the area of ​​Madi state is very small now, and it is only limited to Madi city and the surrounding coastal areas.

Originally, in the early years, the empire's relocation policy for the Twelve Central African Countries was only for the inland areas, but later found out that in this case, the Twelve Central African Countries themselves are difficult to develop, and more importantly, although theoretically all the coastal areas belong to the Tang Dynasty. , but it is still in the hands of the local indigenous people.

Later, the restrictions on coastal areas were simply released, and coastal areas were allocated to 12 countries on the initiative, thus forming the current pattern of the 12 countries in Central Africa.
