Chapter 540: Nanyang Overseas Territory (5) Psychological Expectations
Zuo Peng explained the reason why Da Ming did this. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Xia Bing's expression was solemn and he frowned. After a long while, he said with a worried face: "So, is Daming ready to use troops against Daqing next year?" ”。
To be honest, she does not support sending troops. Because in her opinion, sending troops to the Qing Dynasty is the lowest policy.
Because at this stage, what Daming needs most is to recuperate. And those newly incorporated territories will be thoroughly digested. When the domestic economy and productivity returned to the pre-war level, the newly incorporated territory was also transformed into productive forces. can be considered for the use of troops abroad.
If the station is opened next year, the productivity that Daming has just recovered will inevitably be affected. Those newly incorporated territories are also prone to chaos. Judging from the large-scale military configuration of the Qing Dynasty, it is impossible to say, which makes Daming even worse.
If this continues, the Ming Dynasty will become more and more unstable. The rule of the Ming Dynasty will also be greatly weakened.
After all, judging from the trajectory of history, the decline and fall of most empires began from within. For example, the uprising of the Yellow Turban Army in the Eastern Han Dynasty was a typical result of reckless military force. Although the Xiongnu were defeated, the threat on the steppe was swept away. But the foundation of the big man has also been hollowed out. In the event of a natural disaster, the people will have no food to eat.
In the end, it led to a vigorous Yellow Turban Army uprising.
The powerful Han Empire also went into decline.
Alien, re-emerging after a hundred years. As a result, in the history of China, there was an extremely tragic catastrophe of the Five Hu Chaos.
The Huangchao Rebellion in the late Tang Dynasty, although there was no threat from the grassland. But the feudal towns were divided, and the warlords were fighting. The people are struggling to make a living, and they rise up. The last breath of Datang was also lost. As a result, the land of China has never been able to establish a unified and powerful central power. The Khitans, Jurchens, and Mongols also became mortal threats to the Great Song Dynasty.
By the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was a vigorous peasant uprising. Let the Ming Dynasty fall into the embarrassing situation of being attacked by the enemy. Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, also forced the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty to death. It provided excellent conditions for the later Qing soldiers to enter the customs.
Therefore, from the perspective of these major events of dynastic succession, internal stability is of paramount importance.
Zuo Peng heard the objection in Xia Bing's tone, but he still said patiently: "At present, the cabinet has not made a decision on the matter of sending troops. But there's a good saying! Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. If the situation in the Qing Dynasty develops, it meets the conditions for the Ming Dynasty to send troops. Then the president will definitely authorize the dispatch of troops. ”。
In the end, there are unforeseen circumstances!
How did the situation in the Qing Dynasty develop? A lot of the time, no one can tell. Although before this, the Ming Dynasty will let the forces of the Intelligence Department in the Qing Dynasty operate well. But whether it can be done or not, no one can say.
Therefore, the necessary military preparations still have to be made.
Knowing Xia Bing's concerns, Zuo Peng continued: "Don't worry! At that time, even if we use troops against the Qing Dynasty, we will maintain restraint. will never swallow the Qing Dynasty in one go. ”。
After all, the Qing Dynasty was a traditional land country, and its conventional military strength was several times that of the Ming Dynasty. Even today's Green Battalion soldiers and Eight Banner soldiers have begun to degenerate and corrupt. However, thanks to the Ming Dynasty's anti-smoking policy of the Qing Dynasty, the foundation of the Green Battalion and the Eight Banners has not been completely hollowed out like later generations.
When it comes to fighting, it is not vulnerable.
Therefore, when the time comes, the casualties of the Ming army will be unavoidable.
Moreover, the land area of the Qing Dynasty is too large. Even if Da Ming wins, there is no way to swallow the entire Qing Dynasty. If it is hard, it is easy to cause indigestion and hurt yourself.
Therefore, the cabinet is also unanimous. Exercise military restraint in non-essential situations.
"But what if--", Xia Bing said worriedly, "in case after sending troops, Da Ming can't get out in time." Then the result... Therefore, it is difficult to guarantee that things will always develop according to the expected trajectory.
Zuo Peng didn't answer immediately, but gently lifted the curtain and saw that the coachman was dutifully guarding seven or eight meters away. Only then did he turn his face away, and said with a rather mysterious smile: "In fact, our cabinet also believes that sending troops is the best strategy. Therefore, the relevant response has been asked by the Intelligence Department to start to do it.
When the time comes, as long as the plan of the Intelligence Division succeeds. Then we can surrender without a fight. ”。
In order to completely dispel Xia Bing's doubts, Zuo Peng also deliberately added: "Judging from the action plan of the Intelligence Division, the success rate of this matter is nine times out of ten." ”。
Hearing such a high success rate, Xia Bing was also relieved. I didn't ask what the specific plan of the Intelligence Department was, and changed the subject: "Listening to what the principal said, it is necessary to abolish the Nanyang Overseas Consulate." But the students still don't understand, what is the direct relationship between this relocation of the capital and the abolition of Nanyang overseas territories? ”
Zuo Peng smiled slightly, but did not explain directly. Instead, he took the kettle from the inner wall and asked, "If you live in Johor Bahru City, are you not happy to hear that this place is about to become the capital?" ”。
"The students are naturally happy!" , Xia Bing didn't think about it, so he replied loudly.
Zuo Peng smiled even more, and continued: "Then change the place where you live to Malacca City." Will you still be happy? ”。
Xia Bing didn't think about it again, and said, "Then I'm also happy." Johor Bahru and Malacca are so close to each other that it is much more convenient than having the capital in Mingjing. ”。
"Haha, then you still don't understand?".
"W-me?" , Xia Bing was speechless for a while.
But it didn't take long for her to recover. In my heart, I also smoothed out the cause and effect of this.
It was also before that she had been paying attention to the connection between the relocation of the capital and the abolition of Nanyang's overseas territories. However, he ignored the impact of the relocation of the capital on the overseas territories of Nanyang.
If you say, it is centered on Mingjing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty. So in terms of geographical division, the newly included Nanyang Overseas Territory is undoubtedly the most remote place. In later generations when telecommunications technology was developed, the central government's control over remote areas was relatively weak.
In the eighteenth century, when the scientific and technological conditions were backward, the control of the central government over the remote areas was even weaker.
Although the Ming Dynasty tried its best to increase the government's control over the remote places, it is understandable that the local centripetal force of the Nanyang Ming Dynasty was not strong.
So the capital city of Daming, once moved to Johor Bahru. Then Nanyang will no longer be a remote place. The aborigines who live in these places will not feel that they are not taken seriously.
Although their degree of sinicization is not high, in their hearts, they still hope that they can get enough attention. This is not the cause of the race, but the origin of human nature.
With such a psychological expectation, these aborigines of Nanyang are less resistant to the abolition of Nanyang overseas territories and accept the same assimilation policy as the mainland of the Ming Dynasty.
It is considered to be the official of the Ming Dynasty, psychologically, to strengthen their sense of identity with the Ming Dynasty and reduce resistance and resistance.
