A lot of things need to be set in the setting tone from the beginning to lay the foundation, otherwise it will be extremely cumbersome to deal with in the future. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The sea really didn't matter to the Ming Dynasty or to the country that would be replaced by the peasant uprising in the future, its center of gravity would inevitably be in the north and inside.

The future Geldan and the hairy bear who is about to reach the north by the river network have determined that this reborn country can only focus on the north.

Internal matters, Chen Jian thought very clearly, training rebel experts in batches. The issue of cadres is the key to all problems. It is not a problem to spend 20 years training thousands of cadres and 3,000 full-time grassroots officers.

Without cadres, we would have to face the same situation as Li Zicheng back then. After 20 years of training and 10 years of rebellion, there is no doubt that these 3,000 people can be like seeds to incubate 30,000 grassroots cadres and literate people in their own system within 10 years.

In this way, even if it is corrupted, even if the new relations of production have not yet been established, it will still be possible to maintain military inadversity.

Migration to the northeast and northwest dispersed population pressures, and before the international system was formed, it was necessary to get involved in the international system, to achieve actual control, and at the same time to join the world system.

There are many difficulties, and it will be mixed into a last-class power before the First World War, at least it will be larger than the size of Tsarist Russia. Peter had only gone to a Dutch shipyard to study for a few years to see the world, while thousands of people had witnessed all kinds of upheavals, broadened their horizons, carefully studied the theory of contradiction and practice, and popularized class analysis.

As for whether it will be a reform at the top or a revolution at the bottom, let's wait until the trenches of World War I are filled.

And in the south, there is a need for a maritime group that breaks the clan restrictions.

In the country on the basis of the Ming Dynasty, the center of gravity must be the north, and there is no intention to go south, and the pressure on the north is too great. This is not a matter of vision and mentality, even if the Zheng pirates are born in the world, they will also stare at the north, and if they don't stare at the north and inside, they have a problem with their brains.

This maritime interest group may not be on the same page as the reborn countries of the North, but it will certainly have its eyes on the islands.

But in order to be competitive, this maritime interest group must get rid of the clan.

If the clan is not broken, all kinds of massacres and the eventual destruction of several small countries are the future, and the endless infighting with each other will only give others an opportunity to take advantage of.

The maritime merchants are a terrible group, as the young man said, the ethnic groups of the republic are here to make money, not to run to liberate all mankind and commit treason, and if the problems between the maritime merchants of the Ming Dynasty and the trading companies here are not handled well, there will inevitably be confrontation.

When the navy of the Ming Dynasty was not good, the maritime merchants would organize pirates in order to dominate the trade, and even seek refuge under the pirates, so as to ensure that their interests were not infringed upon by the plan to monopolize trade.

The best model is to attract the maritime merchants here to join in, form a trading company, and form a special interest group targeting the archipelago, Indonesia, and the Philippines, and distribute reasonable dividends internally.

As long as Jian Chen can convince the directors in the Republic of China to realize the risks of expansion in Asia, it is possible for them to unite the merchants of the Ming Dynasty here out of their own interests, and to use their hands to share the Dutch, British, Western and Portuguese with their hands as the first goal.

Chen Jian could give up the right to trade, governors, and people in the non-European and Spanish colonies, as a step backwards, but the dominance of this part of Asia must be in his own hands. The most profitable places are thrown out in exchange for internal acquiescence and support.

When necessary, contact the original and renamed Qi Kingdom, they are closer and more willing to set foot here, and he has already formed a foundation for dialogue with the original Qi King.

Qi could not compete for trade with Europe, Africa and the Spanish Viceroyalty, both in terms of size, capital and distance, and was at a disadvantage.

And here, they will be of great interest, and those in the Republic will also recognize the importance of this place if they are clear-headed, so they will operate here without considering short-term interests.

Only by taking advantage of the contradiction can we have the opportunity to set foot here.

There is no point in using those excuses, these islands cannot develop industry, but only use high-sounding excuses to silence the fanatics, so that they do not go back and be thrown into their own wagons by radical young men with explosives produced in their factories.

After persuading the people in the fleet one by one and making the people in the fleet accept his opinion, Jian Chen put all his thoughts on going to Daming and Japan.

What Japan is afraid of is Catholicism, and it does not believe in religion or proselytize, so as long as it does not spread those republican ideas, it will not arouse Japan's vigilance.

As a silver-producing country, Japan had to take this line if it wanted to gain a basis for trade here. Just as the Spanish colonies were to the Republic, Europe, and Africa, Japan was to the small Asian trade circle.

In the same way, the ability to obtain ships to conduct legal trade in Japan is also an important attraction for maritime groups that will form joint equity in the future.

The best goal is to write a gold leaf inscription as much as possible, go to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute, and obtain permission to purchase from Zhangzhou Yuegang; Obtaining a ship guide for legal trade in Japan; with the help of their own weapons and technology; Relying on the capital of Fujian maritime merchants in the Ming Dynasty, an armed shipping group was formed.

It is very good to be able to obtain a large number of members legally, and it also leaves a way back for the future after the international system is formed: legal rental, clearly written, and legally repossessed if there is strength.

Thailand is just a springboard, and Jian Chen's mentality is also very obscene.

This is a centralized country with its own religion and ruling base, and it is impossible for the national power at this time to exercise effective control, so it is better to raise it into a-stirring stick and its own allies in Indochina.

In the long run, there is still a chance to get rid of serfdom in Thailand. The development of productive forces by eliminating serfdom could make Thailand a rice export center, and the current serf-like system would hardly meet Chen Jian's future needs.

At this time, it was already May, and the time was already very tight before the Ming Dynasty merchant gave the best policy to seize Penghu while the spring flood had been withdrawn and the winter flood had not yet arrived.

Chen Jian still didn't make any big moves, and the merchant understood that Chen Jian was really preparing to take the path of tribute.

Chen Jian meant to ask the merchant to help write a beautiful essay for tribute, but the merchant felt that he was not good enough, so he told Chen Jian that there were also some Chinese here who could ghostwrite.

There are many Chinese in Ayuthaya, and there are many of them who are well-versed in Chinese and ink, and it is not impossible to find a teacher who can write in crude language.

The Chinese belong to a special class in Ayutthaya, and there is no conflict with the Buddhist beliefs in Thailand, although there is a distinction between large and small, but there is no such thing as burning heresy.

Coupled with Thailand's special serf-style Sakdina system, there are almost no freemen at the bottom, and the Chinese who are not included in the Sakdina system act as one of the few freemen.

The shackling of serfs to the land, which was for the sake of exploitation, was similar to the serfdom in Europe, according to strict hierarchies, no random migration, and service and servitude, which seriously constrained the development of the productive forces here.

But it also brought some strange benefits, women were also divided according to the serf class, men had to serve, women did not, and the Chinese, as free people, inevitably got close to the water and the moon. For the lower serfs, the women preferred the free Chinese to the equal serfs who were tied to the land.

The Chinese live on both sides of a river called Milk Street in Ayutthaya, and due to the advantages of culture, the Chinese not only act as low-level traders and handicrafts, but also climb to the top, becoming a force that the Thai royal family can rely on. In particular, the seafaring trade also needs Chinese.

This is also the reason why Chen Jian proposed that he must be friendly with the Chinese and stand together, otherwise those in the fleet and the later governor will definitely develop on the road of asking the King of Thailand not to use Chinese as merchants, in order to monopolize and control the trade in Thailand.

On the premise of not forming an interest group, the two sides are in competition, and the basis for forming an interest group is that domestic capital will not be too interested here, which can be regarded as a kind of luck for him to be able to exert his skills.

The days of his stay in Ayutthaya have also had a huge repercussion among the local Chinese, and since the departure of the Three Treasure Eunuchs more than a hundred years ago, there has not been such a large-scale and friendly fleet here.

Sometimes, things like tying your hair don't feel any emotion, but when you live in a foreign country for a long time, it's still kind to see this kind of hair accessory after all.

One day in May, Jian asked the King of Thailand to allow the people in the fleet to wander around and to ensure that they would abide by local customs. Negotiations between the two sides have progressed, and the king has allowed it.

The money was distributed, and some precautions were given, and the people dispersed.

Lan Qi was busy inspecting the land system here, summarizing the land system and exploitation methods she had seen along the way into a booklet, looking for similarities, the more she looked, the more surprised she became: the seemingly completely different cultures, habits, languages, and skin colors had too many similarities in the way of exploitation, although the small details were completely different, but a closer look revealed that they were all somewhat similar. The serf had changed its name, but it was still a serf in essence, and the land ownership system revealed too many things.

Jian Chen is a lively person, and he took Lin Xi to inevitably put a few pillars of incense on temples in some neighborhoods, and distribute some snacks such as sugar balls and candied fruit for the children to eat, while looking for a possible Mr. Teacher.

After many inquiries, I finally found such a person in a Chinese settlement. When the old gentleman heard that Jian Chen asked him for some tribute, he was shocked, saying that he really hadn't written it, and he didn't quite understand the format, and it would not be good if he wrote it wrong.

Chen Jian promised gold and silver, and just said that it was good to make up some praise essays.

Immediately he discharged some gold and silver, and took out two copies of the national letter paper, which had been prepared in the country, and covered them with the seals of the king and the council, and the specifications were very formal, but the contents were empty.

All the letters were in duplicate, and one copy was taken back for storage, and these papers were special papers used to draw maps, which were tough and generous, and belonged to special ones.

The old gentleman saw not only gold and silver, but also the extremely high-standard Chinese book paper, and suddenly thought of flying. After all, such a character is not qualified to write a national letter, and now there is such a major event, which can be regarded as an unimaginable encounter in his life.

Immediately drank a glass of rice wine, so that his arm did not tremble, grinding thick ink, Chen Jian said in the vernacular, he wrote the poor words as the beginning of the prose, and then wrote some more.

Lin Xi looked at it for a while, and said in his heart, this is strange, I actually recognize some of these words, and the rest look familiar even though they don't recognize them, boxy, horizontal and vertical, compared to the two, they look like frogs and toads. On the other hand, those European characters are completely birds and fish, which is really peculiar.
