Chapter 212: The Finale

Previous Chapter

Ashikaga Molong should be said to be still very cruel, although the list pulled out is very long, but basically there is no omission, almost all the wealthy families who dare to fight have been taken down, and even Nagao Masashi was deprived of his territory by Ashikaga Molong, and he lived on his wife's fiefdom, not to mention others. Although there are still people who try to resist in this process, Ashikaga Molong directly exterminated this kind of person, but those who do not resist can save their lives, after all, Ashikaga Molong feels that he is getting older, and his heart is getting softer and softer. Although it may be a bit hypocritical for him to say such things when he came to the door to slaughter the city with more than 500 cannons, but this is the true feeling.

After eradicating the wealthy clans in various places, Ashikaga Molong began a nationwide construction plan, completely abolishing the checkpoints set up by those wealthy families privately, and reducing taxes, and rationally planning local development, so that in the first ten years of Ashikaga Moryu's rule, the people of the Japanese country lived more and more prosperously, and the most pragmatic people supported Ashikaga Molong, so those who wanted to do things in the local area could not set off any storms. At the same time, it was later known as the Age of Discovery, and the navy and maritime fleet under the command of Ashikaga Miryu began the journey to unify the Asian sea routes. The first is that Wang Zhi's old subordinates were subdued one by one by the huge navy under the command of Ashikaga Moryu, and began to fight together with the Nanban who ran to the east to make a fortune, while the maritime fleet, with the support of Ashikaga Molong, began to fill the gap left by the expulsion of the Nanban caravan. After nearly ten years of tug-of-war at sea, the large and small warships under the command of Ashikaga Molong, which had swelled to more than 2,000, successfully expelled the southern barbarians to the west of the Strait of Malacca and monopolized the eastern route. The maritime fleet initially controlled Southeast Asia, and modeled on the Europeans to establish a large number of plantations to provide domestic raw materials and commodity dumping grounds, and the opening of overseas markets pushed Ashikaga Ryūlong to start the first industrial revolution ahead of schedule.

In the third decade of Ashikaga Moryu's reign, the Wa Kingdom was officially renamed Yingzhou and became the titular land of the Ming Dynasty. Due to the influx of immigrants from the Ming Kingdom and the rapid population growth in a peaceful environment, the land within Yingzhou has become increasingly strained, and even after the development of the Mutsu area, there is still a shortage of food. In this case, Ashikaga Molong vigorously presided over the immigration plan to Australia, where the natives were self-contained, still in the stage of tribal civilization, and the way of conquest by force was too troublesome, so they directly started war and trade, and then sent some people who had smallpox and other infectious diseases but survived to the past, and began to sow plague diligently. Soon the Australian aborigines were wiped out by various infectious diseases, and the remaining people were simply not enough to fight against the surging Yingzhou immigrants. At the same time, Ashikaga Muryu's fleet arrived in Hawaii on the Kuroshio Current, and further to the west coast of North America, where the seeds of plague were once again sown and mass immigration followed.

Don't underestimate such a thing as the plague, the Black Death almost ruined European civilization, and the early Spanish and Portuguese poor ghosts went to the Americas to play colonization, but they were often made into a barbecue by the local natives, there were countless powerful indigenous civilizations in the Americas, and in the end they were all destroyed by European colonizers, what did they rely on? Muskets? No, it doesn't work as well in the jungle as a bow and arrow. Religious? Rather, if religion had been useful, there would have been no Black Death in Europe. The European colonists relied on all kinds of plagues, smallpox, cholera, etc., which raged in Europe for many years, and the Europeans all had antibodies, and after landing in the Americas, they directly caused a devastating blow to the local natives, and they did not have antibodies. This is the awkward dilemma faced by a civilization that is too independent.

In the fourth decade and the fifth decade of Ashikaga Molong's reign, Yingzhou as a whole developed at a terrifying speed, and the officials of the Ming Dynasty were not fools, and the bigwigs in the capital contacted Ashikaga Molong one after another, discussing making a fortune together, and Ashikaga Molong was of course happy to do so, tying these people to the chariot would be more conducive to him to do things. No matter how Yingzhou develops, it is impossible to compare with the demographic advantage of Daming in a short period of time, and the combination of the two has greatly promoted the speed of Yingzhou's integration into Daming.

When Ashikaga Molong took charge for the sixth decade, Ashikaga Molong, who was already in his eighties, officially retired from politics and handed over everything to his juniors, but the foundation he left behind was basically formed to survive, and Daming also successfully survived the most difficult Xiaoice period because he used the Pacific Ocean as his bathtub in advance, and entered the industrial age, a terrifying empire that made Siyi desperate gradually reigned on this planet.

(End of book)

Leave a closing speech, thank you for your continued attention, from time to time in the comment area to urge a few more words, this book I started writing after the college entrance examination, and it took five or six years to finish. I have experienced a lot in my life over the years, and I failed the college entrance examination for the first time, and I was still one point away from the first line, which was a big blow to me. So I repeated my studies for a year and fought again, and although the second college entrance examination was still a little short of the peak state of high school, it was also counted in the top 1,000 in the province, so I went to Southeast University. Southeast University is a bit of a partial, but it is also a double first-class university, and the civil engineering major I studied was also tied with Tongji University for the first place in the country in the discipline evaluation at that time, and it was quite surprising that it actually overwhelmed Tsinghua University's civil engineering. However, life at Southeast University is really tiring, both physically and psychologically very tired, and I have experienced all kinds of people during this period. I couldn't get the graduate school exam, and I didn't get into the graduate school exam twice, which was a big blow to me. The whole state of mind has changed, it can be said that it is sensitive and fragile, so for me as a man, it may not be appropriate, but I am really on the verge of collapse, the kind of standing on the college building and looking at the campus, the kind of lights have nothing to do with my frustration and frustration, it is difficult to describe in words. The whole life plan is almost completely disrupted, and it seems that there are countless choices, but more often than not, there is no choice. Loneliness and despair should be said to have always shrouded me, but ah, men are creatures who are born to take responsibility, whether it is social responsibility or family responsibility, this cannot be shirked. No matter where it will go in the future, and no matter whether there is light in the heart, but the road ahead is still very long, if you fall here, you will be a loser in that life, stand up and continue to move forward, there is hope of winning.
