Chapter 862. Da Ming, fight!
The history of China is a strange circle, starting from the Han Dynasty, after a great turmoil, began to recuperate, then prospered, until it reached its peak, and then began to go downhill, as the ruling scholar clan infinitely erupted in desire, the land was seriously annexed, the people became more and more unable to survive, and finally the vigorous peasant revolt ended the entire dynasty.
After ushering in a big troubled era again, it is to return to this strange circle, the two Han Dynasty are like this, the life cycle of the Sui is a little shorter, but the same is true of the Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty is a little special, it died in the invasion of foreign enemies, but it is also special to the foreign commerce of the Southern Song Dynasty is a small peak in ancient times.
Even today's Ming Dynasty is the same, don't look at the Ming Dynasty's maritime trade seems to be very developed, but the dividends of trade have entered the cellar of the landlord of the family, and have not circulated in the market, especially the imperial court government has not received a penny of taxes in it, and the Ming Dynasty before Chongzhen seventeen years ago still failed to get out of the shadow of the agricultural empire.
There is one of the biggest common characteristics of so many previous dynasties, which is that they all died directly or indirectly in peasant uprisings!
In fact, this strange circle is not difficult to explain, China is a too typical agricultural civilization, everything is pressed on the land, the land in the world is limited, the population has swelled to a certain extent, the land is not enough, and the landless have no developed industrial tertiary industry to take in, they can only be the most unstable bomb in society, the displaced people! Moreover, even if land annexation is prevented, the land will still be gathered in the hands of some people, and the landlord family can sit back and enjoy the fruits by renting out the land, while the tenant serfs who have little land and no land work all day long, but they are not well fed and clothed, and their ability to bear disasters is extremely poor.
So when I came to Mao Jue, I decided to get out of this circle directly, the main economic source of the royal family and the government, from the farmers who seemed to be drought and flood to ensure the harvest, turned to build on the seemingly more unstable business, Mao Jue's hands, even agriculture was commercialized, with large-scale commercial grain to meet social needs, and then the surplus population was all added to industry and commerce, the advantage of this is that the land has not become the only means of livelihood for the vast majority of people like previous dynasties, so that industry and commerce can create more jobs, Let even the landless peasants have a job to do and not starve to death.
Moreover, compared with the landlord class who are content with pleasure, guarding their own one-third of an acre of land, and digging into the corners of the country, the merchant group is more aggressive, and they need the state apparatus to open their eyes, pave the trade routes, and settle those who do not do business honestly, these greedy guys are not more patriotic, but in terms of interests, they are closer to the empire than the landlord class, and let the big businessmen replace the conservative landlord class, which is also more conducive to the empire to maintain an aggressive and enterprising attitude.
However, the commercial empire seems to have many benefits, but it is more difficult to control than the agricultural empire, as can be seen from the rise of the British in history, relying on the military force to occupy a large number of overseas colonies, the territory is so wide that the sun never sets the empire, by dumping a large number of manufactured goods into the colonies, plundering raw materials cheaply, completing the bloody capital accumulation, if you want to do this, you must step on the heads of other countries.
Unfortunately, Mao Jue wants to follow this model, and the Western powers also want to follow this model, so there will definitely be irreconcilable contradictions between the two sides, and they must fight until one side completely falls.
The strategy of the Dutch and the Ming Dynasty is actually similar, Sir Curt's main strategy is to support the Southern Ming Dynasty to resist the vigorous development of the Northern Ming Dynasty, so that the two Ming Empires are exhausted and scarred, and on the corpses of the two, the Netherlands can feast, and Mao Jue actually thinks about the same, to gather the United Kingdom, which first carried out the bourgeois revolution, to be the younger brother, and then through Britain to interfere in the European continent, provoke chaos within the entire European continent, and then profit from it.
Originally, the two sides were still in an equilibrium mode, and they were tied to each other, but because of a wedding in Xiangyang, it caused a continuous bloody chaos, and with all their might, the Northern Ming easily defeated the seemingly huge and powerful Southern Ming, and the Dutch Eastern Continental Equilibrium Policy was broken, and they could only go into battle shirtless, to interfere with the unification of the Ming Dynasty by force, and at the same time the French took action to pull out the nails of the British Ming on the European continent, if Britain fell, the Ming still did not complete the unification, and the West won!
It's a planet-wide game! Fortunately, Daming, who has replaced the big capitalist Big Trust as the core driving force of the country, is not stage frightened!
The first to dispatch is the Ming Navy, under the strong and powerful voice of Mao Jue of the Hangzhou headquarters, the warships of the entire Northeast Asia have begun to assemble to the south, and recently the city of Hangzhou has become lively, every morning, the greatest interest of the citizens who live by the sea is to go to the harbor to see the warships, because there are new arrivals every day, and there are new ones every day.
Even after looking at it for a long time, they have summed up their experience, the color of the battleship is relatively dark, basically Lutun Island, the military shipyard of the Lushun generation, the color is relatively light, most of them are produced by Denglai Road, Xuzhou Heavy Industry These emerging shipyards, and although there is technology sharing, but after all, the craftsmanship of the old shipwrights is there, there are more main warships in the north, and some third-level warships in the south, and most of the auxiliary warships.
Large and small warships formed a battle group, and began to hunt all kinds of Dutch ships on the sea like wolves, if you want to support the Southern Ming and the Northern Ming to fight, you must also have a ship to dock!
However, on the army, the Ming Dynasty's movements are relatively slow, after all, as soon as the cannon sounds, the gold is ten thousand taels, and the two Guangxi are still good to fight, advancing to Guizhou Yunnan, where the roads are rugged, the mountains are high and the roads are far away, and the people are fierce, Li Dingguo in history with a lone army, he can fight with hundreds of thousands of horses and horses in the Qing court for more than ten years, if it were not for the Burmese side betrayed the Ming Dynasty, Li Dingguo, who had no hope, died of despair, and the war may still be able to drag on.
If you want to pacify the southwest, what you need to fight is a protracted war of attrition, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, the most proud army in the Ming Dynasty, this time only advanced to the border of Jiangxi and Fujian, and the Xuzhou Army increased its troops to Huguang to eight corps, first maintaining the front with Jiangxi.
At this time, the most active is the corps under the Ministry of Industry, the railway troops! The order of the imperial court snowflakes went down to the various iron and steel mines in Liaodong, and the formed rail steel was transported to the south through the Xu Lei railway, and then took Nanjing as the starting point, hundreds of thousands of railway troops withstood the clammy cold of the magic attack in the southern winter, rolled up their arms and sleeves and carried the rails to the south, and the Ministry of Industry planned to build Huguang and two railways around the coastline in a year and a half. There are also difficult and dangerous places such as Yungui in Guangxi, when the railway is repaired and the energy of shells and bullets continues to reach the front line, it is not too late to do it again!
At the same time, the Ming Dynasty was also preparing to increase its troops to the colonies of the three islands of Luzon, and when the railway was built to Fuzhou, land supplies could be transported to Fuzhou on a large scale, and then shipped to Manila through Fuzhou, which was the time to attack the Dutch base camp in Batavia in the East Indies.
With such a plan, in three years, the Ming Empire is enough to complete the unification and completely drive the Western forces out of Southeast Asia, but the only difficulty in the plan now is how to help the British on the other side of the world.
There is such a two or five boys and no, it is really very different, small countries in Europe do not look big, really want to hug the group, the combat effectiveness is still very fierce The West still has the foundation of the group, after all, everyone believes in God, and there is no precedent in history, the crusade is the masterpiece of the Western group, but if there is a British Yankee as the spokesperson of the West of the Ming Dynasty, then the situation is much better, for example, if you France wants to go against the Ming Dynasty, the British can go to Northern Europe to wander around, everyone is a Protestant country, If the French Catholicism grows bigger, we won't have a good life!
There is also the Netherlands, who wants to go all out to the East to fight for territory with the Ming Dynasty, as soon as his fleet leaves, the British fleet can directly raid his nest, and his home is gone, do you still earn a fart?
It's just that in the East, the Ming Dynasty is fighting at home, and in the West, it is the home field of others, and it is really difficult to let the new bourgeoisie of the British resist the strong enemy of the French outside when there is a royal party at home!
A large map hung in the office, and Mao Jue's eyes finally fell on the New World, looking at the vast American continent, he shook his head helplessly.
"You have to rely on that bastard kid!"
It is too difficult to take the eastern route to aid Britain militarily, the fleet has to bypass the hostile Mughal Empire's territorial waters of the Indian Ocean, the Strait of Hormuz Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea This route has not yet been developed, it can only bypass the Cape of Good Hope, the traditional power of the Spaniards bypasses Europe, and then it has to pass through the French sphere of influence, and finally reach Britain, when the large fleet of 50,000 people arrives in Britain, there can be 5,000 left, all of which are blessed by Mazu Niangniang!
Then the most reliable is the Pacific route, by taking the Bering Sea and Alaska routes that have been opened, going south along the American continent, seizing the Isthmus of Central America in the hands of the Spaniards, opening up the Panama Canal, driving the fleet from the Pacific Ocean into the Atlantic, and then supplying in the British Thirteen Colonies, and finally arriving at the British mainland.
The question is, can such a big part of such a grand plan, such an important part, that kid be able to do it?
"Otherwise, the concubine will immediately leave to take over the governorship of the colonies in the New World of North America?"
Seeing Mao Jue worried, Adriana on the side couldn't help but ask.
Biting the pen, he really thought about it for a few seconds, but Mao Jue shook his head heavily.
"Forget it, Ana, you still go to Zhoushan to train and run in the Dashun army under Liu Zongmin, Lao Tzu, believe that bastard boy!"
It is estimated that Mao Xingjian, who is still stubbornly fluttering in the New World, could not have imagined that behind his back, his emperor's father, who looked at him unpleasantly everywhere, gave him so much hope.
However, this Mao Jue has just shown the momentum and mind of the first emperor of the ages, and when he turned around, he became a stingy little man who held a grudge, looking at the other end, Luo Yu was also nervously sorting out the information in Zhongnan, preparing to go to Zhongnan to confront the Donghu Burmese who were on the line with the Dutch, Mao Jue suddenly asked through gritted teeth.
"By the way, what's going on with that bastard thing Luo Jin?"
"Chu Tian is dealing with it, Your Majesty can rest assured, the day the concubine goes south, everything Your Majesty wants will be shown to Your Majesty."
didn't raise his head, Luo Yu replied indifferently.
I didn't know that Mao Jue's angry and hateful pupils were still staring at him behind his back, during this period of time, Luo Zhen was living a very good life, very prosperous.
Hurt muscles and bones for a hundred days, but under the warm supplement of various precious medicinal materials regardless of the cost, only a little more than a month, Luo Jin's right hand can hold a pen again, literati, it is really not dazzling can suffocate to death, this day, a few pretty little girls are serving with wine on the side, holding a beautiful girl in their arms, carrying a big brush, Luo Zhen is writing excitedly in the yard, but I have to admit that although this kid is a scumbag, he still has a bit of talent, and a picture of mountains and clouds is flourishing under his pen.
But just as he was about to finish the last few strokes, a small guy in the courtyard suddenly shouted urgently.
"Childe, the eldest lady is back!"
Hurriedly pushed away the little girl with a red face in his arms, and gestured to a group of girls like a fly, and then Luo Zhen looked like a decent gentleman, and smeared on the picture scroll, for a while, this was still so prominent, and then turned around to reveal a "surprise" expression, and said excitedly.
"Tian'er, you're back! Just right, come and see my new work!"
As he expected, there was a slight sweat on the tip of his nose, and Chu Tian, who was full of vigor and enthusiasm, walked over excitedly with his words, looking at the long picture scroll, for a long time, she was extremely appreciative, her eyes were full of worship, and she turned around excitedly.
"The painting is magnificent, the picture is majestic, the instrument is magnificent, and the son is really the dragon and phoenix among the people, and the wealth is also!"
The former arrogance reached the sky, and in Chu Tian's approval, Luo Zhen was almost arrogant for a while! Please Baidu "Throw Book Network" Thank you for your support!
