If he wanted to dig into the corners of the British Empire secretly, Ning Yu naturally could not do without the help of foreign adviser Ernst, at least on the British issue, his opinions were often quite unique.

"Your Majesty, it seems that colonizing the Americas at the moment does not help the empire much."

Ernst was very surprised by what Ning Yu meant, in his opinion, the current Da Chu can be called a rich local tyrant, just the food and clothing at home are countless, and there is a large resource mine under his feet, but he is still thinking about the broken dog bowl of the poor neighbor - this is really a little incomprehensible.

However, this was not Ernst's problem, but Ningyu's problem, because in this era the desire to control the Americas was almost a fantasy, and the great distance between the two sides completely cut off the intention of establishing a rule - even if Europe was closer to the Americas, Britain could not prevent the independence of the United States.

As for how far are the two sides? In fact, there is no need to cite other examples, not long after the United States became independent, there was a ship from the United States that arrived in China.

In 1784, that is, the 40th year of Qianlong, when the United States had just been independent for eight years, it could be said that it was a waste to be rebuilt, and at that time, some people of insight in the United States decided to trade with China thousands of miles away in order to change this situation, which can be called quite far-sighted.

As a ship for this important mission, it was originally a sailing ship serving in the navy, but it was converted into a merchant ship and named the 'Empress of China', which carried many American specialties such as furs, American ginseng, pepper and other products, and the destination was to trade in Guangzhou at that time in exchange for Chinese specialties such as tea, silk, and porcelain.

So how long has this ship been on the line?

According to records, the ship departed from New York Harbor on February 22 and crossed the Atlantic, Indian and South China Seas, a journey of tens of thousands of miles for a full five months, and then the Empress of China docked in Java for a short repair, and then after more than 20 days of sailing, arrived in Macao for immigration procedures, and then sailed to Huangpu Port in Guangzhou, and did not officially arrive until August 28.

In other words, this ship, which represented the beautiful dream of the Americans at that time to make money, also took half a year to arrive in the Qing Dynasty at that time.

In this day and age, it's perfectly normal to have a speed like this, or even slower than that, and it's normal to run into storms, pirates, and disorientation along the way, even if you sink in the middle of it.

For his part, Ernst did not understand why the emperor had the whims to occupy such a distant place, which was even more crazy than sending troops to Siberia.

Of course, Ning Yu couldn't tell Ernst about the things of the later generations, so he could only say softly: "Ernst, the New World represents the wealth of the future, if Great Chu wants to develop, it must establish contact with the New World, and it is best to have our power there, not necessarily Great Chu-"

"What?" Ernst was somewhat incomprehensible.

Ning Yu also felt that he had a little headache in explaining, and he said in a low voice: "If we look at the New World through our current thinking, it is difficult for us to get a correct understanding, but I think that we need to look at it from the perspective of development, what if, if a unified country emerges there?" In the future, it may pose a threat to Da Chu's strategy. ”

Ernst was a little silent, and he said softly: "Your Majesty, this is why I always think that you are a great emperor, because your thinking is always too far ahead of us....... In other words, it has transcended the entire era, in fact, in the words of your Chinese people, this problem is simply 'unfounded', no country can cross thousands of miles just to fight a war! ”

"Huh...... This is just that you have not seen it, in fact, in the future life, there are not many such madmen! ”

Ning Yu secretly scolded himself in his heart, he didn't want to continue to explain more to Ernst, but said seriously: "I mainly want to know some things about the current situation in the Americas, especially some information about European colonists. ”

Ernst could only explain with a wry smile: "Back to Your Majesty, the current American colonization boom has gradually come to an end, because the colonial history of the past few hundred years has demarcated the original sphere of influence, and because of the distance, these American colonies are not deeply connected with the mainland, and even have a tendency to gradually separate, so the attitude of European countries towards the American colonies is actually very complicated. ”

In fact, Ernst was not wrong, because in Ning Yu's understanding of the future Mei Lijian, at this time it was still called the British North American colony, not even the thirteen states of North America, because at this time it was still sixteen colonies, and the Georgia colony had just been established two years earlier.

Of course, the British colonies in the Americas were not the most powerful, the first of which was Spain, which occupied most of South and Central America and part of North America, while the Portuguese occupied Brazil and the French established their colony in Louisiana.

The early colonies were all established by colonial companies, such as the British when they first established colonies in the Americas, which were organized by the Virginia Company in London, who established a settlement at the mouth of the James River and named it "Jamestown", and then the government and the royal family sent them, basically their own people.

Today, however, the situation has become very different, for example, in the British colonies, in the early days, colonial companies and government organizations went to North America, but now it has become that the British people have begun to explore North America spontaneously in order to escape from poverty, and the composition of these people is also very complicated.

For example, the population of the British colonies in North America today is about 2 million, and although Britain has the largest number of immigrants, it is also full of French, Dutch, German, Swedes, Swiss, Irish, etc., as well as hundreds of thousands of black slaves, most of whom are from the lower classes.

Ernst sighed softly, "Because the distance is so far that the English king could not completely suppress the colonies in North America, the Bacon Revolt that broke out later is a typical case." ”

Yes, everyone in the world knows that the American Revolutionary War was started by a cannon in the thirteen states of North America, but few people know that there was an uprising in the British American colonies more than a hundred years ago, and this uprising was the Bacon Rebellion.

This time the Bacon Revolt was essentially a war operation of the British Red Neck against the Indians, when the Indians attacked the settlers in order to regain their lost land, and the Red Neck demanded that Berkeley, the governor of the colony, punish the Indians, but Berkeley refused.

Of course, it was not because Berkeley was a great good man, but because the Indians were not weak at that time, and Berkeley was cautious, fearing that the war would expand further, so he stopped Bacon's revenge.

However, because of this, it stimulated the Rednecks' original dissatisfaction with the colonial authorities, and Bacon turned around and put forward demands against the oppression of wealthy plantation owners, against the unreasonable taxation system, the expansion of suffrage, and the re-election of the Parliament, and was soon recognized by the other Rednecks, who joined the Bacon Rebellion, and even occupied James City, the capital of Virginia, and expelled Berkeley, and burned James City.

The revolt lasted until Bacon died of an inexplicable illness and the rebel army was disbanded, and Berkeley duly returned to the capital, arresting and executing Bacon's followers and quelling the incident.

Ernst said softly: "Although the Bacon revolt was suppressed, it reflected the fact that the king was not able to deal with the coup d'état in the colonies in a timely manner, and the subsequent Revolt of Lesler, though very different, reflected this. ”

At this point, Ernst quickly came to the conclusion that he earnestly told Ning Yu that "until there is no better way to rule, sooner or later, the colonies of the British, whether English, nor French, will revolt again—until they achieve successful independence." ”

Ning Yu nodded slightly, he very much agreed with Ernst's judgment, some people may ask, why do colonies like rebellion so much? Can't we live in peace?

In fact, the reason is very simple, the local demand for the colony is very simple, that is, to obtain local raw materials at a lower cost, so as to cultivate the domestic industrial market, but this is naturally extremely unfavorable to the people of the colony, because they will not tolerate themselves becoming slaves of their own country.

The conflict of interests between the mainland and the colony was almost inevitable and persisted, and even if this independence uprising failed, it would only lay the groundwork for the next uprising, and the limitations of distance and technical conditions would always make the colony have the conditions for a successful uprising.

Therefore, this is the reason why Ernst opposes Da Chu's continued colonization of North America, because in the short term it can obtain some benefits, but in the long run it is a loss-making deal.

The subsequent uprising in the thirteen states of North America is a typical example, which not only completely broke away from the British Empire, which had been painstakingly managed for a long time, but even indirectly sent the French Emperor Louis XVI to the guillotine, which is not insignificant.

Of course, Ning Yu knew this general trend, and he would never have envisaged being able to build a huge empire across the Pacific, which was simply impossible to achieve - but he could have integrated the forces of the whole of Asia, and then put them into the Americas, competing with the Europeans for the Americas, and preventing the Angsa people from becoming the masters of the Americas completely.

This is not only a war between the Great Chu and the British, or even a war between the Chinese and the Angsa, but an outright battle between the Yellow and White, fighting for the future of future descendants in this world.

"Ernst, I don't just look at the next hundred years, but the next thousand years!"

.......

After communicating with Ernst, Ning Yu made up his mind completely, and he convened the cabinet ministers and the Privy Council ministers to hold a very high-level meeting, and there were only more than ten high-level officials in attendance, which can be called the core top figure of the entire Great Chu.

In the brightly lit room, everyone sat down on both sides, only to see a thick document on the table in front of them, with four words written on it, "Centennial Plan", and the top of the document was stamped with a top secret seal, it was obvious that this was a meeting with a high level of secrecy.

Ning Yu sat at the top, glanced around at everyone, and then said softly: "It has been a full year since the founding of the Great Chu State, and you should also understand that the spirit of the founding of the Great Chu Dynasty should be the first to the rise of the Chinese nation, so that the honor and disgrace of the royal family will come second, this is what I have told you, and it will not change in the future." ”

Everyone just listened quietly, with a little anticipation in their eyes, maybe this time would be the beginning of a great change.

Ning Yu stood up, he walked to the wall and pulled down the curtain above, only to see a huge map appear in front of everyone, depicting the whole world in five colors, the huge Great Chu stood in the center of the map, but there was still a huge territory around.

"If you want to stand on top of the world with our China, you should be the leader of Asia, gather strength, and compete with Westerners for hegemony in the world."

Crisp voices echoed in the conference room, and everyone pursed their lips to look at everything in front of them, and they felt as if there was a fire burning in their hearts, a feeling they hadn't experienced for a long time. At that time, only before the decisive battle of Anqing could I feel this excitement and high spirits.

Ning Yu picked up the long pole on the side and pointed it on the huge land representing the Americas, and his voice was a little low: "If you want to compete with Westerners to dominate the world, it is impossible to rely on Asia alone, we need more heritage, and in the future, we need more yellow-skinned and black-haired Asians to take back the Americas from the hands of whites!" ”

"They won the first three hundred years of colonial history, but we can't continue to sleep, I think that if we want to change this situation, we need to occupy the Americas in a shorter time, and this is the real beginning of my "Centennial Plan"!"

Cui Wancai couldn't help frowning, and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, what is the Centennial Plan?" ”

"The so-called centennial plan should start an all-out decisive battle with the Westerners within 50 years, and we should completely expel them from the Americas in 50 years, and during this period, we should gradually move westward, from Siberia, Central Asia, and other directions, and achieve a thorough strategic encirclement by co-opting one Western country and suppressing some Western countries."

The magnificent picture of the future was described by Ning Yu in an instant, and everyone was also very excited, they picked up the thick document and looked at it carefully, the content inside will be more detailed and more specific, including the colonization plan for the Americas is also detailed to each colony point - in the next ten to twenty years of the plan, Da Chu will immigrate more than 10 million people to the Americas, and they will become the key to occupying the Americas in the future.

"The so-called battle of civilization is also a battle between yellow and white, and this battle has started today!"
