readx;?“ Socialism in the West will not be able to spread for the time being. The great turmoil in the United States, Britain www.biquge.info, and Russia is not over, and the vitality is broken again in this war, and there is also the threat of the Roman Empire and the German Empire, and they do not have the courage to offend us. ”

In the evening, Zhu Guoxiong, who had finished dealing with the government affairs, went to the Hot Spring Palace and discussed with his father Zhu Jishi about the current situation today.

"The foundation of the United States, Britain and Russia is not bad, as long as they adopt the same method of governance as Poland, they can be reunited in ten years, and their national strength can be restored in ten years, and they will be the three major powers in 20 years, and they will be in the same breath, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with."

Not to mention Russia, the United States and Britain are both industrial powers, and the total industrial output value before the war is comparable to that of the Ming Dynasty. Although the vitality is greatly injured now, the foundation is still there, as long as it recovers for 20 years, it may not be impossible to rise again.

"It's also a headache for Napoleon IV and Bismarck, plus Juan and Mathilde at most."

"Now I am afraid that the revolution will spread to Rome and Germany, the United States, Britain and Russia are all because of the defeat to get to this point, if we fight with the Roman Empire in the future, I am afraid that ...... Fight another socialist Rome! ”

"Socialist Rome? Haha, that's interesting. But we have to guard against ...... Fortunately, Mathilde is still there, she knows the severity, and will not let Napoleon IV fight easily. ”

"And what about Rome? The Roman Empire was always too big, did the emperor have any plans? ”

"Can't be beaten...... That's for sure! It is not difficult to defeat Rome, but it is afraid that the old and new France and Italy, Spain, and Portugal will be turned into socialism! Zhu Jishi smiled bitterly, "A world war can still fight socialism...... I would have known that I would not support the International Workingmen's Association! ”

"Actually, it's okay if the United States, Britain and Russia all become socialist. Napoleon IV could not go with them. There are at least two camps in the West. We can profit from this. Of course, Zhu Guoxiong didn't know how turbulent the international fortune was in history, and he didn't know that Emperor Yingtian, who was in his country, also became the world of red flags in 1949 in history, so he still had the idea of watching the tiger fight from across the mountain.

Zhu Jishi shook his head, if he knew that there was a current situation, he would still support the International Workingmen's Association. However, now he does not dare to take lightly in the face of the three socialist countries of the United States, Britain, and Russia -- fortunately, the socialist United States only occupies a small part of the United States of America.

"The United States, Britain and Russia must not be taken lightly! If it's just a Russia, it's fine. Now there are more American and British ...... Xiong'er, you must distinguish who is the most dangerous enemy. For us, the Roman Empire is just an obstacle to world domination, and all the Roman Empire wants is to turn the Mediterranean Sea into an inland lake, plus dominate Africa and South America, and at most take a piece of the pie in North America. Zhu Jishi took a deep breath, "And the goal of the three socialist countries of the United States, Britain and Russia in the future is the whole world!" ”

Zhu Guoxiong listened to his father's words and was slightly stunned, "What? Worldwide? The United States, Britain and Russia are all like this, and they still want to conquer the world? ”

Zhu Jishi did not answer immediately. "There is no need for us and the Roman Empire to turn their faces again, they cannot integrate the Western world horizontally and vertically...... The two socialist countries of the United States and Russia alone were enough for Rome to drink a pot. Now there's one more UK. Napoleon IV was still unaware of the possible consequences of the English Revolution, and was still fantasizing about letting the English people vent for a few months before pacifying England in the name of Edward VII. If he hesitates, he will be in big trouble. ”

In fact, Napoleon IV did not hesitate to do not hesitate to trouble, how can Britain also be a large European country with a population of 30 million, and if it wants to occupy it, it will send at least hundreds of thousands of troops. Moreover, Britain was already a nation-state, and could not be easily integrated into the Roman Empire - if Napoleon IV insisted on doing so, he would have to pay for the collapse of the British economy! In order to integrate Spain and Portugal, two "small economic countries", into the Roman Eastern Empire, Napoleon IV had already provided 3 billion gold francs in economic aid. If it were Britain, Europe's largest industrial power in economic collapse, 30 billion gold francs would not be enough.

"Napoleon IV had two more troubles, Mexico and South America." Zhu Guoxiong muttered, "Once he finds that the chaos in Britain is difficult to pacify, he is likely to retreat, anyway, it is not much harm for Rome to be in chaos behind closed doors in Britain." ”

Of course, Napoleon IV would not have gained nothing, for example, by sending troops to take Ireland, which had always had a tendency to secession, had a small economy, and believed in Roman Catholicism. The state religion of the Roman Empire is also Catholic, and Napoleon IV still firmly controls the Roman Catholic Pope, so it is entirely possible for the Pope to grant himself the title of Lord of Ireland, just as Pope Adrian IV granted King Henry II the title of "Lord of Ireland" in 1155 - this is the legal basis for the English conquest of Ireland, but it took more than 700 years for the English to make the Irish one of them, which is really a bit strange.

In addition, it is possible that the British Empire's territory in Africa will also be acquired by the Roman Empire, including the gold of the Transvaal!

"And the loss of the British colonies in Ireland and Africa is certain...... Father, do you think it is necessary to take the suzerainty of Madagascar? ”

"This ...... You can do it, if you have the spare power, you might as well take it, but don't invest too much. Our Great China Empire is big enough, and in the future we will still have to think about governance. If the governance is not good, sooner or later the International Workingmen's Association will take advantage of it! ”

Zhu Guoxiong was silent for a while, and suddenly asked: "Father, do you want to close down the Socialist Party?" ”

"It's not necessary," Zhu Jishi shook his head, "We can block the legal Socialist Party, but we can't block the illegal People's Will." And...... We cannot but admit that the working class has risen internationally as a political force! ”

"So what should we do?"

"It is still necessary to suppress and appease at the same time, and we must resolutely crack down on radicals like the National People's Congress! For moderates like the Socialists, they should be allowed to participate in politics. Other than that...... We should also be concerned about the lives of workers and peasants. ”

"It's good for the workers to say that there is a "Terrace House Ordinance" that can be beneficial, but the farmers ......"

"It is still necessary to promote the concentration of land and encourage 100-acre farms! The excess population encourages them to move into the city and emigrate! Xiong'er, you wouldn't really be worried that Donghua's population would exceed that of the Ming Dynasty, would you? ”

"Erchen is not worried."

"In fact, there is no need to worry, because no matter how much land there is in Donghua, it will be able to attract another 20 or 30 million immigrants by relying on the grant of dozens of acres of land by one person. In the future, it will be the industry and commerce of the big cities that will really gather the population. Since the rise of the Industrial Revolution, only the population from the rural areas has concentrated in the big cities, and few people from the big cities have gone to the countryside. As long as the industry and commerce of the Ming Dynasty can flourish, there will be no difficulty for China to become a leader in population and economy. The agriculture, mining and some industries of Donghua, Beihua, Xihua and the rest of the Xia Kingdom only served the industry and commerce of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, now the Ming immigrants go to Sihua Zhuxia and develop Sihua Zhuxia, which is to serve the future Daming industry and commerce. ”

"Erchen understands."

……

To the north of Dong'an City, it is on the shore of the river. It is a sea of wheat that cannot be seen. The wheat in the field has grown tall, and the patches of thick green are like green carpets.

Jujuan led people and rode horses through the fields. The summer is hot, and it is the hottest time of the day, but the greenery in his eyes makes him unable to hide the smile at the corner of his mouth, "It looks good......"

"Great King, the wheat here is all planted by the garrison of Hedong Prefecture driven by the white captives, there are millions of acres, looking at the current harvest, it will be enough to receive 1.5 million stones by autumn."

Speaking behind Zhu Juan was Tang Jingsong, who had recently retired from the Ming Army and was transferred to the governor of Hedong Prefecture. Tang Jingsong is a native of Guangxi, graduated from the Ming Royal Army Military Academy and Army University, served in the Ming Army for more than ten years, and had been promoted to lieutenant colonel before the outbreak of the war. And his retirement is actually an order of the General Staff of the Ming Army, not because he looks down on him as a senior staff officer who participated in the Great War in the North American Army, but because he needs to stay in Donghua and transfer to a civilian position.

Now that the great war on the North American battlefield has basically ended, it has begun to enter the post-war recovery period. Seventeen states, including Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Wyoming, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska and Texas, have changed their Chinese names and formed provisional state governments. And who controls the provisional governments of these 17 states and the governments at all levels below is definitely a major event that can affect the future political direction of Donghua.

How could the Ming court, Zhu Jishi, and Zhu Guoxiong not have a calculation? Therefore, the 1 million and hundreds of thousands of Ming troops who went to North America naturally "transferred jobs on the spot" in Donghua and distributed to 10 states in the Mississippi River Valley and the Great Lakes region. And the state governments of these 10 states and the county and city government officials below are, of course, the former Ming Royal Army officers. The Hedong Prefecture where Tang Jingsong served was the original Illinois, and Dong'an, the eastern capital of the Donghua Kingdom, was close to the state. The seat of the state government is located in East St. Louis, which is now known as East Road House, across the river from the original St. Louis. Jujuan, who had already handed over the throne to his son Zhu Bangyu, was passing through here on his way to Mexico City from Dong'an Mansion this time, and was quite relieved to see the wheat fields on the banks of the Mississippi River.
