Chapter 36 The Map Opens the Frontier
Finally, under the attention of the ministers, Liao Qing announced his inauguration and became the first director of the intelligence department of the Ming Republic. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Although the number of people in the Intelligence Division is limited, only fifty people. But everybody understands wordplay! Those fifty people only include the main persons in charge of the intelligence department. As for some personnel involved in handling intelligence, spying on military intelligence, and monitoring suspects, they can only be counted as supernumerary personnel.
And that's all unlimited!
In this way, the upper limit of fifty people is useless!
Ministers understand this, too! After all, we are all Chinese, so how can we not understand the minds of Chinese people. And they don't really want to turn the Intelligence Division into a decoration! After all, the capital has been built, so build it well. As long as you do things in a down-to-earth manner and stick to the most basic moral bottom line, the Intelligence Department will not find yourself for no reason.
What's more, the Intelligence Division is not only internal, but also external! Like those Western powers, the Intelligence Department can get all kinds of valuable information from them.
It's just that these are all later words.
The next day, the Daming Central Radio Station announced the establishment of the Intelligence Department in a loudspeaker. It's just to put it simply, just tell me, and I will pass it off. Many natives who have just been naturalized in the Ming Dynasty don't know what this intelligence department is, so they don't have the heart to think about it.
But the next news touched the nerves of every indigenous and touched their hearts.
Just listened: "In order to let every citizen living in the Ming Republic enjoy the fruits of civilization, after overnight discussion by the cabinet, it was finally decided to implement resettlement projects such as withdrawing troops to build villages and resettlement in other places in the ruling area of the Ming Republic.
For this! The president issued a presidential decree early this morning! Sister Fuliu said in a low voice, very encouraging.
Yang Chong's speech was immediately inserted: "Compatriots of the Ming Republic, I know that many of you have come to Hope City, Zhengtu Town, and Linhai Town from the tribe not long ago. You live, study, and work here, and make your own contribution to the construction of the Ming Dynasty.
At the same time, you also accept the advanced way of life of the Ming Dynasty, experience the baptism of the light of civilization, and strive to become a Ming person in the new era.
To be honest, I'm really happy for your performance! It is you who have made the cause of the Ming Republic thriving. It is you who will make the Ming Republic a better tomorrow.
But we cannot ignore the fact that there are still many brothers and sisters around you who live in tribes where the light of civilization cannot shine. They are not clothed, they are not fed, and their lives are safe, and there is no guarantee of safety.
And after the test of practice, the truth tells us that the tribe is no longer suitable for the current system of existence. And as long as it exists for a day, the light of civilization of the Ming Republic will never be able to shine on every citizen.
Every time I think of this, I feel sad and sad for the people of the Ming Kingdom who live in primitive and backward tribes, and for our compatriots.
Not only me, but my colleagues in the entire cabinet are also in the same sense of grief.
It's just that we took into account the feelings of the tribal patriarchs, so we didn't take action for a long time.
But now, I know we can't afford to hesitate any longer. Because the Ming Dynasty must ensure that the value of life of every citizen is reflected, and that all people can enjoy the most basic rights and freedoms.
This is the obligation of the Ming Dynasty and the basic requirement of a civilized society.
So, I signed this presidential decree!
If there is a person who does not hesitate to be the enemy of the entire civilized society for the sake of his own interests! Then I can only say that the muskets of the KPA are ready!
Finally, let us cheer for civilized society and send good wishes for the future of the Republic. ”。
As he finished speaking, the crowd around the loudspeaker immediately cheered loudly and shouted: "Long live the civilized society, long live the Ming Republic!" ”。
Since then, the vigorous action of withdrawing troops and building villages has been carried out thoroughly.
Yang Ganming, who was standing in front of the loudspeaker, was unconsciously deeply moved after listening to the president's words. sighed in my heart, Daming is so kind, thinking about his people so much. If they are in the tribe, who cares if they have enough to eat or whether they are warmly clothed. Even if you die, it's a common thing! And it will also storm the corpse wilderness, and you can't even dig a pit and bury it.
Such a good country, even if he dies for Daming, he is willing!
At this moment, there are thousands of people who think the same way as him. It also makes the prestige of the Ming Kingdom rise day by day, and the cohesion of the Republic is getting stronger and stronger.
It was also at this time that the first Dutch merchant ships came to Daming.
On the dock, many Ming people who heard that a ship was coming crowded on the dock to watch. When I saw that there were many merchant ships in the Netherlands, but they were all wooden ships with big bellies, I immediately lost interest.
After all, compared to the iron-clad Hope, this Dutch wooden ship is like an old-fashioned antique that has come out of a shambled hole! Even those natives who naturalized the Ming Dynasty looked down on Dutch merchant ships in their hearts.
So after a while, the people were gone, and the dock became deserted in an instant.
The Dutch on the ship were also a little stunned by the reaction of the Ming people. But when they thought of the big iron ship that appeared on the island of Timor that day, they reacted again.
Oh, yes! Since the Ming Dynasty has such high-end ships, how can they look down on their wooden ships?
At the presidential palace, when Yang Chong and his cabinet heard that the Dutch merchant ship had arrived at the dock, their faces showed irrepressible excitement. If it weren't for their identity, they would have wanted to meet the Dutch of this era.
But when they heard that the people were dismissive of the Dutch ships and had a cold reaction to the arrival of the Dutch, they could not help but rejoice.
This can only show that in the hearts of the Ming people, their own ships are better than the Dutch, and their identity is higher than that of the Dutch.
That is to say, like the reform and opening up of the later generations, the ugly behavior of the Chinese people who groveled, bowed and kneeled to foreigners, and offered their favor and favor would not be reflected in the Ming people.
Finally! Da Ming began to contact with the world! Finally, they can announce to the world that Da Ming is here!
After reading the map on the table, Yang Chong stamped his seal and deliberated and approved. This is a map of the Republic of Daming, covering the entire Australian mainland, Tasmania, New Zealand, and the island of New Guinea.
There are also five more towns on the map, namely Wanghua Town, Xihai Town, Nanhai Town, Haihe Town, and Fortune Town in the Central Desert.
From top to bottom, counterclockwise, they correspond to the later Bamaga (across the sea from the island of New Guinea), Port Hedland, Perth, Adelaide and Alice Springs in the central interior.
For Daming, building five towns at once is definitely a big deal. But in fact, if it weren't written on the map, many Ming people would not have heard of these five towns. I wondered when the Ming Dynasty expanded five towns. And in the official statement, it never appears.
It's normal to have this kind of doubt, because these five towns really weren't built. But in a sense, they are built again. It's just that it only appears on the ground drawing.
To put it bluntly, it's a name!
Like the map expansion of the Republic of China, the Ming Dynasty included many places that were not controlled. Like the east side of the Great Dividing Range, the British area was also directly included in its own territory by the Ming Dynasty. There are also Tasmania, New Zealand, and New Guinea, all of which are Ming.
As for the feelings of the British, does it have anything to do with Daming?
After all, the British themselves did not realize that the Australian continent would be so big, not to mention that they only regarded Australia as a penal colony for criminals, and they had not really exercised effective control.
Now that you draw the map, you have one more reason. When you find fault in the future, there is a reason. And they are now issuing the Ming map, which also has their own considerations.
Because if the Dutch are coming, people from other countries will surely follow. When the time comes, they will spread the map of the Ming Dynasty, and all countries will know how big the territory of the Ming Kingdom is.
By the time the British found out that their territory had also been swept away, hehe, it was too late!
