Chapter 62: Lend-Lease, Cession, Is Inequality?
The sinicization of Manchuria, or Confucianization, began with Kangxi, including the ordering of names according to Han customs, etc.
Kangxi was superstitious about ruling the Han with Confucianism, and he couldn't resist the temptation of governing with Confucianism.
The Han people talk about is actually a racial concept, and the Mantar in the Han people's minds is actually a racial concept, and it is about blood.
But Manchuria has never been a race, there is no bloodline at all, the team is not pure at all, and even Kangxi is a Han girl. Qianlong's biological mother, Wei Jiashi, was originally Wei's, the daughter of Qingtai, the daughter of the Han Army, and the same Han girl.
There are people of all ethnic groups in Manchuria, Koreans, and Russians, and this is a national concept, not a racial concept, but it has something in common with "China."
The ethics of Han and Confucianism are a dual concept that retains the distinction between Huayi and Huayi of the pre-Qin period and the concept of Huaxia that was gradually perfected after the great unification. Liaojin has entered the Central Plains, and the saints have been divided into northern and southern sects. There is a saint in Liaojin in the north, a saint and a saint in the Song Kingdom in the south, and both sides must be legitimate, that is, a Confucian and two interpretations.
Because the sect in the north changed the scriptures too abstractly, the Jin capital was confused, Jin Yiru died, and the Jurchen characters disappeared.
Nurhachizu's six generations of Ming generals have always written Chinese characters, and when the banner of gold is reversed, he found that no one can write Jurchen Chinese, which is embarrassing.
Yuanji firmly believes that Zhuxia can take the Manchurian, Mongolian and Han people, Japan, North Korea, Burma, Siam, and Egyptian Indians, which is a lesson from the past of Jin. Even if the ruling class deceives people with charity, freedom, and environmental protection at the beginning, it will be implied every day for a long time, and it will gradually become universal, and it will not work if you don't believe it.
But the ethics of Confucianism are both Huayi and Chinese and class, there are two versions of the Three Platforms and Five Constants, plus the blood concept of the Han clan, once it erodes Manchuria, it will cause the problem of continuous anemia in the Eight Banners after Kangxi.
"Raising the flag" has become a great grace, how can there be a demeanor about tying people into the Eight Banners everywhere and grabbing the small Eight Banners?
During the period of rapid population expansion in Manchuria, that is, Nurhachi, Huang Taiji, Shunzhi, and the early Kangxi period, the middle and late Kangxi period stagnated, that is, it was invaded by Confucianism and Han customs, and the brain began to change.
Nowadays, Manchuria is not a concept of clan blood, surnames are all place names, it is a tribal concept, and those who enter the tribe are tribal people, including slaves.
In the early Qing Dynasty, intermarriage between Manchu and Han was very common, reaching the level of the emperor, and the daughters of the Great Khan were married to Han merchants. Geng Jingzhong, Shang Kexi, Wu Sangui and other traitor sons all married Manchurian women, Manchurian nobles and Han women's wives.
Yuanji wanted to prevent Confucianism and Han customs from invading Manchuria, in order to continue the current system of intermarriage and blood replenishment of the Eight Banners, to continue to mix sand, and to continue to dilute to the point that Manchuria could not form even if it wanted to form a racial concept.
At that time, Manchuria was equivalent to being kidnapped, and it was no longer possible to believe in the origin of Xia, and it had to be admitted.
Once the ruling class has reached an agreement, it can push for multi-ethnic integration from the top down.
"Your Majesty."
Yuan Ji happened to take advantage of Kangxi to mention the Rakshasa people, and brought down the matter of Confucianism, and asked inducedly, "Your Majesty, have you noticed that the recent report on the Shengjing military report in the banner can pull out the Rakshasa settlements, and nine times out of ten are wild tribes such as the Solon Tribe, Hezhe, Daur, Evenki, Oroqen, Xibe?" ”
"Huh?"
Kangxi glanced at Yuan Ji and frowned, "The three feudatories, the big ship, the silver, the rakshasas, the Sauron, you have a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, what are you going to say?" ”
"It's actually the same thing."
Yuan Ji unraveled a painting scroll on the ground, and spread it flat on the ground, the picture is a goose-yellow ground, a geographical-style map, only marking roads, prefectures, mountains, waters, and islands are all lined with the sea regardless of distance.
"Wu Fan, Shang Fan, if you want to change the title, you have to get Burma and Vietnam first. If you want to occupy Burma and Vietnam, you must first raise the military salaries of Burma and Vietnam. ”
Yuan Ji explained, "In order to raise this military salary in a short period of time, the cultivation of industry is too slow, and the grain payment is too slow, and the best way is to do maritime business." Choose a good place in the north, open a seaport, build a big ship, trade with Japan first, and then go to the South Seas. ”
"Wouldn't it be slower to open the port for shipbuilding?"
It was Xiong Cilu who opened the speech, and seeing the deep incomprehension in Kangxi's eyes, he asked for the emperor, and said mockingly, "The silver of inland water shipbuilding is not enough, how can the silver of opening the port and shipbuilding come from?" ”
"That's why I look down on you people the most."
There was no sarcasm in Yuan Ji's eyes, and his tone was very calm, "Who told you that it costs money to open a port and build a ship?" Can't it be someone else who sends the boat to find money? ”
"Huh? … This? ”
Xiong Cixu is a scholar of science, and he has heard a lot about Yuanji's ability to breed goods, but this statement of opening a port to build a ship to find money still makes his face suspicious.
"In addition to the Wu Domain, Shang Domain, there is also Geng Domain."
Yuan Ji took out a telescopic stick from the paper scroll, shook it in a chic manner, and pointed to the map spread on the ground with a long stick, Fujian and Zhejiang regions, "Geng Fan is in Fujian, and there are Zheng Jing sailors entrenched in Fujian." Nowadays, the enemy is strong and I am weak, and the Fujian Sailor is not the opponent of the Zheng family's Sailor.
When opening a port in the north, as long as the strategy is used properly, without the use of Fujian sailors, a torrent of transit can be created out of thin air, and Zheng Jingshuishi will be crushed in one fell swoop. ”
All the princes in the hall surrounded them, and even Kangxi came over and looked down at the map on the ground.
"Heights, or Macau."
Yuan Ji used a telescopic stick like a whip to point at the gateway of the Haojiang River, "This is the only commercial port of Portugal in my territory, and it is also the only foothold in the countries of Europa, located in my Qing Dynasty."
This is very bad, first, he has settled in my place, but I have no port in other country, according to the principle of reciprocity, I should immediately send a note to Portugal, and ask it to prepare a leased land for me near Lisbon for the construction of my Daqing commercial port.
Second, there is too little, only Macao is a leased land, and Portugal is alone, and this trade volume is not enough for us.
Low Countries such as the Netherlands, Britain, Sweden, Spain, the Franks, the kingdoms of the Italian Peninsula, the Holy Roman Empire, and the Ottoman Empire should all have leased land in our Great Qing Dynasty and ceded land.
Similarly, according to the principle of reciprocity, the countries of Europa must provide the Qing Dynasty with leased areas and cede sovereign port land near their capitals and colonies in India, Africa, South America, and North America. ”
Kangxi frowned, and the Manmeng Xungui on the side also frowned mostly, most of them had blank eyes, and they didn't know what this meant.
What do you mean? That is, if Motoyoshi "played big chess" in later generations, he would exchange sovereign land, bases, and ports with countries in Europe, America, Africa, and all continents.
Let the nations have sovereign ports, leased lands, and cede lands in unspeakable countries. Let the unspeakable have sovereign ports, leased lands, and cede lands all over the world.
Get the foundation of the world empire at once!
As long as this foundation is in place, the dominance of the world must be unspeakable, which is determined by demand.
This method was the same in ancient times.
Lend-lease, cession, is it inequality? No, it's a problem of insufficient level!
Yuan Ji saw the expressions of the people beside him, and simply said directly: "Nowadays, the Xiyi countries have a huge demand for our silk, weaving, porcelain and other goods, but they have no right to trade.
If the emperor is willing to give the slaves the right to open ports in the north and purchase domestic and foreign trade, our Qing Dynasty can use the leased area and free port as bait, and let the Xiyi countries pay to build a port for me.
In order to keep the trade routes smooth, the British East India Company, the Swedish East India Company, the Spanish Manila Fleet, the Dutch Indonesian Fleet, and the Portuguese Far East Fleet, together with our Fujian Naval Division, formed a joint fleet to sweep away the Zheng Jing that was blocking the road halfway, which is the proper meaning.
It's just a matter of taking Taiwan, there's no need to let Shi Lang jump up and down, build a pile of useless troop carriers out, I will destroy Taiwan with my hand.
Attacking Taiwan with Fujian, not to mention the abolition of divisions and salaries, the center of gravity of the shipbuilding industry and the navy will inevitably move southward, and it is not a good thing for the Fujian people to have a half-water army.
It's okay to come from a region, the problem is that the southern folk customs are not suitable for the navy. The southerners' good boats are just an illusion, they are just the southerners' means of transportation and bowls for eating, and there are more peasants in the north who can ride horses, which is different from cavalry!
Born cavalry, only from nomads. A natural sailor, his nature is to wander the world, and the four seas are his home. The southern local complex is too heavy, just relying on the sea to eat the sea, only fearing the sea, but not conquering the sea.
The southerners' partiality is in their bones, clan ties, blood regions, conservative and stubborn, it eats the sea by the sea, only cooked, and it is still bandits at sea.
The tropics and subtropics cannot give birth to a naval power, which is determined by race and customs, and the terroir of the south cannot support a large navy, so the pattern frames it in the offshore sea and is 'ripe'.
If you want to conquer the sea, you have to smash the sea as a first, and the southerners treat the sea as their mother, and the navy as a soldier guarding the river, and use it as the Great Wall.
This kind of conservative bone cannot support the keel of the world's navy, and it is absolutely impossible to cross the seven seas.
Aggression is insufficient, and any other virtue is useless. The horse bandit demands himself on the monk's morality, the higher the morality, the more waste, there is no need to waste that strength.
The navy is a perpetually offensive service, and what you want is the villains who like to bully people, and the crew who are aggressive.
Navy, only the first in the world can survive. Those who have suffered the possibility of others catching up with and overtaking themselves, and constantly destroying this possibility, are not suitable for the navy.
In order to cover the intrusion of Han customs and the southern naval atmosphere, the cradle of the navy should be set up in a relatively closed Shengjing, and a blank sheet of paper can be painted, so as to give birth to the Qing navy, which is aggressive in its bones and dares to attack globally.
The business of creating our navy, at the level of sickness when you get on the ship, you will be in charge, and I will not let it go.
With the cradle of the navy and the soul of the army, it is like having the "Analects", and it is necessary to slowly wash the brains of the south. You don't have to choose talents from the north and south, Japan, Korea, Franco, Xiyi, Rakshasa and Nanyang, as long as we are the first in the world, there are heroes from all over the world who are vying to be the children of the Eight Banners, there are so many talents, why stick to a corner of the Qing Dynasty.
In the first year of the opening of the port, only Japan and North Korea returned alone, and the annual payment was 200,000 taels of silver, and there was no problem. The following year, the guaranteed year was 500,000 taels. If it goes well, I estimate that within two years, Zheng Jing will be destroyed. Once the trade route is unblocked, from the third year onwards, the minimum annual payment will be 1 million taels.
If Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi compete and penetrate Myanmar and Vietnam within three years, and obtain support points on the coast of the Indian Ocean and the Indochina Peninsula, then the South China Sea will be full of life.
Then, I am sure that the annual payment of silver is two million taels. And I hope to take two million taels a year as an example. It is a ten-year period, and each issue is subject to one nuclear adjustment. ”
"Two million taels?"
The side was suddenly a little chaotic, what exchange lease land, ceding land, Europe, South America, Africa opened the port of Manchurian and Mongolian princes are mostly confused, but the annual tax of 2 million taels of silver, anyone can understand.
Kangxi even stared at Yuan Ji with an expression of looking at a fairy: "Do you know how much the annual tax payment was before the partition of Huguang?" ”
"Yes."
Yuan Ji nodded, "The rent of the field in kind, the tax of salt and iron tea, the consumption of envy, and the regular donation are added together, and the treasury is 680,000 taels of silver." ”
"It's good if you know, can you top three lakes a year? So what is it to open a port with Xiyi for leased land? ”
Kangxi still looked incredulous, "Last year's income plus miscellaneous expenses, it was only more than 20 million taels, and you will be able to pay one-tenth of the Qing Dynasty's annual income in three years?" ”
