Chapter 58: Consequences

As soon as the news of the expansion broke, the audience immediately cheered. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn an instant, the excitement of the audience was ignited.

The entire military parade scene was filled with cheers that shook the sky, shouting long live the republic. It seems that this is the only way to express the joy in the heart.

After all, as a soldier in Daming, the treatment is good, and the sense of honor is bursting. Especially Da Ming has not had any major wars at the moment, even if there are still some indigenous tribes who are not honest, but they can't make any big waves.

With muskets and cannons, it is easy to sweep those recalcitrant indigenous tribes into the rubbish heap of history. And in the whole process, as long as you are careful, you will not lose your life.

So in the following days, the recruitment points in various places in Daming were crowded with hairy young men who came to sign up for the army.

Among them, the Australian aborigines and Nanyang immigrants are the most enthusiastic, while the Chinese are the least enthusiastic about joining the army!

And no wonder!

Because there is a saying in China that a good man is not a soldier. Even though most of the Chinese in the Ming Dynasty were **** abandoners who fled to Nanyang in the early years, they still hold this idea. After more than 100 years of brainwashing by the servile ideology of the Qing Dynasty, this kind of thinking has been deeply rooted. It is impossible to turn it around in a short period of time.

And the Chinese have always been hardworking and capable, as long as they are given a chance, most of them will work hard in a down-to-earth manner. So when I came to Daming, in the face of such an opportunity, I was like a fish in water and lived a good life.

In addition, most Chinese people can easily obtain citizenship because of their language. This innate advantage is incomparable to those Nanyang immigrants.

So the identity can't attract them.

Although it is also possible to upgrade to people's qualification. But this condition is that you must live in Daming for ten years, no matter who you are, no exception. At present, except for the modern people when the Ming Dynasty was built, none of them can get citizenship.

So don't rush it!

After these few points, the attraction of joining the army to the Chinese has been greatly reduced.

Before joining the Ming Dynasty, those Australian aborigines were dependent on the tribe to live, making a living from hunting and relying on the sky for food. Therefore, there is no industrious ideological consciousness. And they are often all soldiers, and when a man is born, he must become a warrior.

It can be said that they are born soldier seedlings. What's more, there are so many indigenous predecessors as role models, and they are even more enthusiastic about joining the army.

As for the white people, after the influence of ideas such as the Renaissance and the Enlightenment, they are restless in their bones. Most of them like to enjoy life. To put it bluntly, it's too playful. In terms of industriousness, it is not as good as the Chinese.

What's more, Europe has been in the midst of a long period of scuffle. The most recent Seven Years' War between Britain and France had just ended. The smoke of gunpowder hasn't dissipated yet.

As a result, mercenary uniforms are very popular in Europe, and many white youths are not averse to serving as soldiers. Therefore, the news of the expansion of the Ming Dynasty is exactly what they want.

As a result, as soon as the recruitment conditions came out, all the young men with sound physiques came.

I saw that they were all enthusiastic, and they looked at the interviewer for conscription. Those eyes were full of thirst and hope! It seems that he can't wait to immediately put on his military uniform, grab a musket, and become a qualified Ming soldier.

As a result, in a group of 10 interviews, there are often seven or eight people who are Australian Aborigines and Nanyang immigrants.

Such a result also made the relevant personnel of the conscription department dumbfounded! Hurriedly reported the situation to Liu Weiguo.

Seeing such news, Liu Weiguo couldn't think of a countermeasure. So he had to ask the president to convene the cabinet members and discuss them together.

In the end, it was unanimously decided to moderately relax the conditions for the conscription of the Chinese, and that the proportion of a brigade should be at least 70 percent or more Chinese. Even if it can't be reached, it would rather be vacant, and the four brigades of the Ming Dynasty must not be made impure.

In such a deliberate underwater release, as long as the Chinese who go to sign up are not deaf or blind, they are not missing arms and legs, and they are basically recorded. And those Australian aborigines and Nanyang immigrants have gone through a very strict screening, and more than half of them have been killed.

While the recruitment was still on schedule, the presidential palace was also holding an executive meeting.

Among them, Gu Li Yang's plan was discussed.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of Comrade Gu Liyang's plan? You can feel free to put it forward boldly. ”。 After Yang Chong finished reading Gu Li Yang's letter, he looked at the cabinet members present with a bright eye.

After hearing this, everyone began to bury their heads in contemplation.

In fact, Gu Li Yang's plan is not something that no one has thought of. It's just that the feasibility and the fear of the UK are considered, so no one brings it up.

But now, according to Gulyang's letter, the British have crossed the Great Dividing Strip and appeared on the territory of Haihe Town.

Whether the British intentionally or unintentionally, whether it was a prisoner or a military policeman. Since they can cross the watershed, it means that the contact between the Ming and the British may be advanced.

Although the map published by the Ming Dynasty deliberately blurred the boundary to the east of the Great Feng Shui Ridge. But the British are not stupid, and a little time to find someone to walk through the Great Dividing Range, you can find out.

Therefore, Gu Li Yang's plan is very timely.

According to his intentions, he could use the British who had turned over, and let them go back to bewitch the British in the east, and attract all the people in the colony.

With the distance between Britain and the Ming Dynasty, in a short period of time, even if the colonial officials found out that the situation was wrong, there was no good way. Moreover, the population of Britain on the eastern side of the Great Dividing Range is not large, only a thousand people. Moreover, the local colonial history is still short, and the natural conditions are harsh.

If you let them know that the Ming on this side of the mountain not only has rich gold mines, but also allow them to join the Ming Dynasty and become a gold digger. Then these British, who were prisoners, would definitely join the Ming without hesitation.

After all, the identities of prisoners and nationals are placed together, which is more important? Anyone can see it.

Will the British colonies survive?

It's just that Gu Li Yang doesn't think so long-term. If the British were angry and declared war on the Ming Dynasty, how would it end?

And this is what everyone is thinking about at the moment. After all, we have to think about the consequences of doing things, and as the highest leadership of Daming, we must see wider and farther than ordinary people.

General Liu Weiguo, as a representative of the Ming hawks, was the first to stand up and support Gu Liyang's plan. And made it clear that as long as Britain dares to trouble the Ming Dynasty, then he will definitely lead the People's Army and let the British know that it is powerful.

It's just that such a guarantee is tantamount to saying nothing. After all, the British have all fought to their heads, and you, the general of the republic, can't even go to the battlefield! Otherwise, everyone here will definitely let him know what responsibility and obligation are.

However, with him at the beginning, the atmosphere of the meeting slowly came alive. Everyone began to talk about all kinds of possibilities, and put forward targeted solutions to this.
