Zhu Heng came out of the main hall and breathed softly in the wide square in front of the hall, and the thick white mist lingered in the cold air of early spring. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The kings passed by Zhu Heng one by one, greeted him warmly, and some asked him to drink with him. Unlike Juan, who is a little withdrawn from the same sex, Zhu Heng is the kind of person that everyone will like him. However, such a character and image are not what a supreme leader should have—people just like him, not fear him, just like the women of Zhu Jishi's harem have the impression of Maria Clementina. In the end, even Luo Xiangmei, who regarded her as her biggest competitor at the beginning, got along very happily with Maria.

This "politician in bed" is just a good adviser and a good companion, and definitely not a qualified leader, because she is not very aggressive. If Mathilde had her status, Luo Xiangmei would probably have been ousted from the throne of the queen!

Such a character and a more mellow figure than her mother is the biggest reason why Zhu Heng became the king of Beihua, and it is also what worries Xuanwu Emperor Zhu Guoxiong the most - Beihua, under the leadership of this good king, will sooner or later become Donghua's follower!

"Brother Ziheng," Zhu Guoxiong's voice suddenly sounded behind Zhu Heng, Ziheng is Zhu Heng's character, but few people call it that, because people close to Zhu Heng are used to calling him by his foreign name Henry. "When are you leaving for Beihua?"

"Brother Huang," Zhu Heng turned around and bowed to Zhu Guoxiong, who walked alone, the current Ming Dynasty is not popular to sit in a sedan chair, as the emperor, Zhu Guoxiong goes out by car, and walks on two feet in the palace. "The younger brother plans to go to the Hot Spring Palace to bid farewell to his mother and return to the Americas."

"What is the situation in Beihua now?" Zhu Guoxiong asked, "Isn't the destruction very powerful?" ”

"Beihua is already desolate. There is nothing to spoil either. Zhu Heng smiled. And Beihua doesn't have much of a population. The younger brother is a bare-rod king. ”

In fact, it is not that there is no population, but there are not many Chinese. Now in the summer of Wuhua Zhuxia, the area of Beihua is among the best, second only to the Ming Dynasty. However, the national strength is probably the weakest, and it is impossible to pose any threat to Donghua.

Zhu Guoxiong asked slowly: "How does Brother Ziheng plan to develop the country?" Do you want me to arrange for 100,000 soldiers of the Ming Dynasty to be discharged and resettled in Beihua? ”

The resettlement of the Ming officers and soldiers who participated in the war in Donghua was a plan that had been set early on, with the aim of controlling the territory of central North America and the Great Lakes region in the shortest possible time. Millions of young men will be populated into cities and villages that originally belonged to the Americans, in the form of companies, battalions, regiments, and divisions, in accordance with the original establishment of the troops. Become the master there, take over the power there – officers at all levels become local officials, soldiers become farmers. At the same time, they have to take on the international obligation to care for the millions of white women who lost their husbands and xiongdi in the war – if they haven't already!

Uh, it's going to make a lot of hybrids again, it's really annoying!

However, according to the opinion of the General Staff of the Ming Army, women of childbearing age are "the wealth of the nation", because they can create the future of the nation! If the veterans of the Ming Dynasty are not allowed to these white women, then when they flee to the northeastern United States, there will be white men who will do the same......

If it is calculated that a white woman of childbearing age can raise three children, one and a half of them are boys. One million white women of childbearing age can make one and a half million mixed-race men in Donghua. Or 1.5 million pure white men in America...... In the next war, these white men will become American warriors! So "seize" women of childbearing age from white North America as much as possible. It is also an important factor related to the outcome of the next war.

Therefore, the General Staff of the Ming Army issued an order to the North American Army: to do everything possible to keep white women who are of childbearing potential or white girls who will be childbearing to stay in the occupied areas of the Chinese army. This instruction was later called "the most notorious strong instruction in history" by later historians of the United Socialist States of America.

Of course, these historians did not Zhidào The cold-blooded staff officers of the General Staff of the Ming Army actually proposed another plan: to execute all whites in the occupied areas, regardless of age or gender...... However, such a cold-blooded plan frightened most of the elite staff officers in the Army General Staff, so they did not dare to propose it to the above. Zhu Guoxiong and Zhu Heng are not zhidào.

"Thank you, Brother Huang." Zhu Heng said respectfully. In fact, the North American Army Command had already arranged a similar plan to arrange a part of the Ming officers and soldiers to Canada. However, Zhu Heng still had a grateful expression.

"Is there enough money for Beihua Development?" Zhu Guoxiong paced in the square, and Zhu Heng followed. is a mixed-race child, but Zhu Guoxiong thinks that Zhu Heng is much more pleasing to the eye - of course, Zhu Heng's sister Zhu Yisha is more pleasing to the eye!

"It's enough for the time being." Zhu Heng replied.

The matter of money is not difficult for Zhu Heng, his mother gave a huge amount of North China Development Fund, and Zhu Heng also used this money to buy stocks and war bonds in Daming's arsenal, steel mill and shipyard, and now he has earned a lot, with a market value of 2 billion! In addition, he has a lot of connections in the Daming financial circle, and his financing ability is very strong. And what really gave him a headache was how to attract immigrants from the Ming Dynasty to settle in Beihua.

"It's easy to do things if you have money," Zhu Guoxiong said, walking in the square with Zhu Heng. "Subsidizing the boat fare, and doing more publicity, there are always hundreds of thousands of people a year...... I asked the Ministry of Industry and Commerce to send an expedition to Beihua to investigate, and if we can find gold and silver mines, there will be no worries about no one going. ”

In order for Beihua to have the strength to contain Donghua in the future, it is of course necessary to strengthen Beihua's national strength. Now the difference in power between these two countries is too great! If the whites and "Ming immigrants" who will remain on the land of Donghua are calculated, the population of Donghua is estimated to be between 22 million and 23 million (of which about 7 million are Chinese).

Moreover, Donghua also has the almost endless Great Plains of Central North America and the Great Plains of the Great Lakes Region, where the rich land is undoubtedly attractive to the landless and landless peasants in the Central Plains - the Ming and Han dynasties have been implementing the "100-acre farm plan" to support the rich peasants in recent years, and the land has a tendency to be further concentrated, and it is really difficult for the poor middle peasants to obtain land. In the hands of the Donghua Kingdom, there are at least 000 million mu of fertile land that can be distributed for free - according to the principle of "closed" in Greater China, these lands can only be distributed to the people of the Great China countries, in fact, they are the poor middle peasants of the Ming Dynasty.

In the foreseeable future, 0 million or even 20 million Daming farmers will definitely flock to it. In contrast, Beihua has a vast land, but the climate is cold and the infrastructure is poor, with not as many railways, cities and rivers for large ships to cross. It is certainly not as attractive to immigrants as Donghua, and the remedy can only be large-scale construction and propaganda.

"By the way, the candidate for the prime minister of Beihua has been decided?" Zhu Guoxiong thought about it and asked.

Zhu Heng shook his head, "I haven't thought of a suitable candidate for the time being, Your Majesty, can you recommend it?" ”

"How is Peng Yulin?" Zhu Guoxiong already had a candidate in mind, "This gentleman used to be the general manager of the Siberian Company and the chief soldier of Liaodong Town, and he has a lot of experience in opening up colonization. was originally the successor cultivated by Zuo Zongtang, but unfortunately the Donglin Party could not choose the Youth Party. ”

At present, Donghua is engaged in democratic constitutional government, and it is also a responsible cabinet. There are only two parties that are really influential, the Donghua Youth Party and the Donghua Constitutional Democratic Party. The former is the ruling party, which is actually the semicolon of the Jishi Youth Party in Donghua. The latter is actually the political party of Mormonism and Heavenly Xiongdi, Yang Xiuqing was the leader of the party during his lifetime, and the current leader of the party is called Yang Ximing, who is Yang Xien's younger brother. As for the Donglin Party, which represents the traditional Chinese scholars, there is no semicolon in North America, and it is not that Zuo Zongtang has not thought about opening up North America, but it is really dozens of beats slower to start, and the political map of Donghua has been completely occupied by others.

"Mr. Xueqin?" Zhu Heng's mind - the political map of Beihua cannot be controlled by the Donghua Youth Party and the Donghua Constitutional Democratic Party, otherwise Beihua and Donghua will really be one. He showed a surprised expression, "It's really good, with Mr. Xueqin's help, Beihua will definitely go a long way." ”

"Zeng Guofan's eldest son, Zeng Jize, can be the diplomatic merchant of Beihua." Zhu Guoxiong recommended a successor of the Xianghu faction to his younger brother, the new boss of the Donglin Party.

"Zeng Jiegang is a diplomatic talent, and he is also a senior brother of Jishi University, if he can help, the governance of Beihua will be twice the result with half the effort." Zhu Heng continued to speak respectfully. There was a separate Foreign Affairs Committee under the Great China Imperial Council, but the Great China states were allowed to set up their own foreign ministries. It's just that the diplomatic activities of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs must be guided by the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Great China Empire.

"Let's recommend Guo Songtao again," Zhu Guoxiong said with a smile, "They are all characters from Xianghu, and they are also the earliest vice principals of Huangcheng Public School, and they are our teachers, and they can be Peng Yulin's deputy." These three people are all Xianghu Junjie, and there are many protégés and former officials, with their help, your Beihua government can be opened. In addition, there must not be only one party in any parliamentary constitutionalism, but only when two parties compete with each other can they supervise and contain each other. But you don't want to bring in al-Shabaab, or you can set up a party yourself. Just as Mathilde fostered the Cadets. ”

He was telling Chu Heng about the origin of the Tung Hwa Constitutional Democratic Party, a party that Mathilde had set up during his regency in Tung Wah to balance the political power of Al-Shabaab in Yung Hung. And after Rong Hong married his daughter to Zhu Juan, he actually became Zhu Juan's henchman. The two major political factions in Donghua, like the Donghua Army, were controlled by Jujuan's henchmen, so even if Jujuan abdicated, his influence would remain.

"The younger brother understands," Zhu Heng said with a knowing smile, "there will be no Shabaab and the Cadet Party in Beihua." "To be continued......)
