Valley Emperor
Vol 2 Chapter 2188: Conflict caused by a straight line
However, the 12 Central African countries were distributed in a scattered manner. Back then, the area was large and they were all placed casually. Therefore, there was the Central African Kingdom near Madi City in the north, but hundreds of kilometers south of the Central African Kingdom were all blank areas, blank areas. Only to the south of the country are other migration countries in the South China Sea.
The 12 Central African countries occupied a piece of coastal area scattered, and there are still a lot of blank areas in the middle for placement.
Therefore, the Tang Dynasty scattered the remaining areas and settled the 16 countries of the Indian peninsula.
These are all members of the Thirty-Six Nations Alliance in the central and southern regions of the Indian peninsula.
As for why there are only 16 kingdoms left in the Alliance of Thirty-Six Nations, it is because the Alliance of Thirty-Six Nations killed the Mughal Dynasty and entered New Delhi. After they entered New Delhi, they themselves broke out into civil strife, and then they fought each other and killed each other. Up to now, there are only sixteen countries left in the Thirty-Six Nations Alliance.
In the southern coastal plain of Mozambique, north of the empire's South Africa, that is, north of the Limpopo River, this relatively rich area was allocated to several puppet kingdoms previously controlled by the Tang Empire in the Indian peninsula.
People have been puppets for ten or twenty years, and they have been cows and horses for Datang people for so many years. They have to give them some sweetness, right? No, Datang people specially allocated this coastal area to them, although they each got it. The coastal area is not large, but it is close to the Datang-controlled area on the south side of the Limpopo River, and is close to Datang's largest port on the east coast of Africa. It is also the only localized port city of Datang in Africa, Maputo. port.
So don't look at the small land assigned by others, but it is right next to the Datang people, and it is also on the edge of the localized cities of the Datang people. There will be a lot of development in the future!
This benefit, even the Spaniards and Tatars are difficult to obtain.
This is what they have exchanged for years of loyalty!
The empire and the indigenous peoples of various countries have successively reached agreements in the past year, granting a total of 43 indigenous kingdoms, principalities and tribes in Europe, the Indian Peninsula, West Asia and other regions to colonize Africa.
All the colonies allocated by indigenous countries have fixed standards. For example, they all have coastal areas and extend hundreds of kilometers inland at the same time. In this area, officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Tang Dynasty often hold rulers on the map. drawn, so the colonial boundaries of various countries are always straight.
However, Datang only allocated their coastal area. As for the wider inland area, the Datang Empire did not give any clear regulations.
No matter what it means to ask, you can grab it yourself in the future, whoever grabs it is whoever grabs it, anyway, we don’t care about the Tang Dynasty.
Today, a series of actions of the Tatars in the Niger River Basin are carried out according to this policy. The same policy is also the reason why the Tatars gave up other areas and chose this area, because there is a good navigation condition. The Niger River allowed them to expand rapidly inland.
Other countries have also arrived at the colony. The first step is to build a coastal stronghold, and the second step is often to go deep inland along the river. Regardless of whether it is of any value, the first step is to occupy the place.
In the future, we can slowly consider whether this place has development value.
And the most important thing is to first extend your territory inland to avoid overtaking by a corner from a neighboring country, blocking your own expansion channel inland.
If the passage to the inland expansion is blocked by the neighboring countries, then war will most likely break out at that time.
This is also an important reason why the Tatars and Swedes quickly extended inland after they arrived in Africa. They did not want to be bypassed by each other and then block their space for inland expansion.
However, when both parties expanded in the early stage, they both subconsciously chose to expand in the direction of Datang People's Ghana.
When they extended hundreds of kilometers to the north, bypassing the Ghana state of the Tang Empire, then they inevitably came into contact in this area.
Although at the beginning, both sides were very restrained, but this matter is not only to seize territory, but also to block the opponent from entering the depths of their own inland, so even if there is no military conflict, the two sides have already It is coincidental that they began to set up defense lines and deploy troops in this area.
When one side can't stand it any longer, war may break out.
However, the Swedes and Tatars did not fight first. Instead, the three countries of England, Scotland and Wales in the northern Luanda region to the south fought first in Africa.
These three countries are also connected in Africa. England is in the south, Wales is in the middle, and Scotland is in the north. This pattern is actually very similar to their pattern in the British Isles.
And most importantly, the above three countries have been fighting on the British Isles for many years.
After the coal wars in the early years lasted for about three years, the combined forces of Scotland and Wales defeated the Kingdom of England, which finally led to the official establishment of the Kingdom of Wales.
The follow-up was quiet for a year, but there were always some fights after a while.
Most of the time, weaker Scotland and Wales would unite against England.
Soon after they arrived in Africa, conflicts broke out there, not only because of inland expansion, but also because of conflicts in the colonies themselves.
As mentioned earlier, when the diplomats of the Tang Dynasty divided the colonies of various countries, they did not pay too much attention. They simply drew straight lines on the map with rulers.
This division seems to be neat, all straight lines of demarcation.
But this straight line of demarcation seems clear, but in fact it also causes other troubles. For example, the river is curved, one part is in country a and the other is in country b, and in the case of multiple bends, it often occurs. repeated many times.
And if the ships of country a want to be navigable, it is impossible to only run on the rivers within the territory of their own country, and they have to run on the rivers within the territory of country b!
This is where the problem arises~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The river section within the territory of the country is someone else's territory, so the boats of country a will definitely not be able to run past it.
Although it is said that the two sides can sit down and talk and have a mutual navigation, but the British and the three countries are all countries that have fought for many years. Although this matter has been discussed, it has not been reached at all.
The problem of river navigation is only one of them, there are other similar problems, such as irrigation problems.
The war between England and the Three Kingdoms in Africa originated from irrigation!
The English people saw that the issue of navigation could not be discussed, so they directly blocked the section of a small river in their own country for the population, and changed the course of the river, so as to irrigate the farmland and create a new channel for navigation. Not a bliss.
But when Wales next door saw that the river downstream of his house was gone, he would definitely be scolding his mother.
