As we all know, if a country has serious contradictions, it can only rely on internal war and external aggression to eliminate the contradictions.

Japan has always been a country with very strong internal contradictions, because Japan's resources are scarce, and its population has multiplied to a certain extent, and it is an inevitable result of contradictions to erupt.

In a small country like Japan, during the Tang and Song dynasties, he actively studied Chinese culture, and learned a lot of superficial things, but the core concept was that Japan was not adapted to the water and soil.

The foundation of Chinese culture is Taoist culture, and Taoism is based on the core concept of detachment from the weak, so in history, China rarely bullied the weak, and in the process of expanding outward, it also implemented the policy of national integration.

Due to Japan's own conditions, it is difficult for Japan to accept this core concept. After all, it is such a big island country, and everyone grabs it back and forth, and many times it is useless to be reasonable, so it has developed the character of the Japanese who advocate the law of the jungle.

So let little Japan fight more on its own, and they won't think about outward aggression all day long.

As for Japan's seclusion, it was a foreshadowing that Japan was able to form an extreme nation in later generations, because Japan formed a relatively unified country in the hundreds of years when it closed itself to the country through the Tokugawa shogunate. At this time, the Ming Dynasty broke Japan's policy of closing the country to the outside world, which actually disrupted the historical stage of Japan's integration of the nation, which was very beneficial to eliminating Japan, a threat that was close at hand.

With the rise of the Ming Dynasty, it is no longer possible for Japan to rise. The Ming Dynasty was not the Manchu Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty would develop industry, and at the same time it had already developed a state-owned consortium. At this time, Japan did not have a suitable opportunity to form its own consortium or the model of the ******** of later Japan.

The formation of a consortium or chaebol requires a lot of conditions. Once the conditions are not established. It's hard to succeed. Just like the Republic of China in later generations. Jiang Guangtou also wanted to set up a consortium, but the process was disrupted by Japan's war of aggression against China, which made China lose an opportunity.

At the same time, once the industry of the Ming Dynasty developed, the industry of Japan could not develop. After all, the Ming Dynasty and Japan were so close that Japan could not have successfully developed an industrial system as it had in recent history. Because once the Ming industry rises, there will be no market for Japanese industry.

A country without an industrial system, and an island country with such a big, how can it threaten the security of Daming in the future?

After Zhu Youxiao received the report of the Japanese Civil War. The main reason for making the decision to further lead the chaotic situation in Japan is that we want those forces in Japan to fight first, and after a certain level of fighting, it is best to split Japan into several countries.

As long as the separatist pattern of Japan is determined and the divided Japan is stabilized, it will be difficult for Japan to be unified under the intervention of the Ming Dynasty in the future.

As for the Japanese emperor, there is no need for it to exist in the future.

As long as the warring Japanese forces recognize the Ming as the suzerain, there will be no emperor in Japan, at most a king.

If it is a king, then it is naturally one country. The division of Japan into several countries means that there are several kings. There won't be any more bullshit emperors.

Japan has always wanted to get rid of the Ming Dynasty's political influence on them, and now the Ming Dynasty intervened in Japan and supported Japan's melee, which inevitably led to the strengthening of the Ming Dynasty's political influence on Japan.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty was an advanced industrial country, which had already begun the process of the industrial revolution, and it was a large country with a vast territory, so it was not easy to rectify small Japan.

It's just that Zhu Youxiao doesn't want to spend too much military spending, if he is willing to spend money, it will be easy for the Ming Dynasty to conquer Japan by force at this time. Japan is in chaos again at this time, and there are many excuses to directly intervene in the situation in Japan.

However, Zhu Youxiao did not know whether the Ming Dynasty would fall into the quagmire of war after the intervention, and problems such as dealing with the aftermath were likely to cost a lot of money, so it was wise not to intervene indiscriminately, but to adopt a method of not directly intervening, so that Japan would fight first and then talk about it.

At the same time, Japan should be strictly guarded against the development of its maritime forces, and it is absolutely impossible for Japan to go to the sea and gain any maritime interests.

"In later generations, the United States did not engage in any island chain blockade policy, and it seems that it can also carry out a naval blockade against Japan." Zhu Youxiao looked at the map and drew a few circles, and a plan to blockade Japan came out.

That is to build military bases around Japan, and first split the islands around Japan, and the Japanese on these small islands can co-opt them to form an independent state. For example, Tsushima Island in Japan, Taneko Island and Yakushima Island in Japan, and Hachijojima Island in Japan.

In addition to Hokkaido, which has been occupied by the Ming Dynasty in northern Japan, these islands can form the 'first island chain' of blockade against Japan, while the islands of the Ryukyu Islands, Mariana Islands, Wake Island, and Midway Island can form a 'second island chain' blockade against Japan, so that even if Japan develops a navy, it will not be able to leave Northeast Asia.

These small island nations split off, and the Ming gave them support, because their territory was too small to pose any threat to the Ming Dynasty.

By co-opting a group, isolating a group, and suppressing a group, Japan can be divided and disintegrated, and Japan's five horses will be separated, and Japan will be torn apart from now on.

After this plan was formulated, Zhu Youxiao immediately handed it over to Honglu Temple (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) for implementation, and asked all departments to cooperate.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Japan is not a big threat to our Huaxia, why do you go to such great lengths?" Yuan Keli was very puzzled by Zhu Youxiao's policy towards Japan, and asked Zhu Youxiao when he entered the palace that day.

"If I am willing to spend a lot of time, Aiqing can look around the Ming Dynasty and find that the biggest threat to my China in the future is not the Northern Mongolia and the like, but Japan." Zhu You said to Yuan Keli: "Japan has absorbed Chinese culture for a long time, and has wolf ambitions, if he lets Japan ******** in the future, although he will not be able to shake the foundation of China after all, but it can make Chinese lives miserable." At this time, if you prepare early and divide it into many countries, you will have no trouble in the future. ”

"There is no way for good or evil, but man calls himself. If Japan can threaten the safety of our China in the future, it will be caused by the long-term accumulation of disasters in China. Yuan Keli is very open in this regard. But it also makes sense.

Historically, if it were not for the Ming Dynasty, China would have accumulated too many disasters. The Manchus could not enter the customs either. The inability of the Manchus to enter the customs did not lead to national weakness, giving the Japanese the opportunity to invade.

The scourge of accumulation in the Ming Dynasty was nothing more than institutional problems, which could be maintained at the beginning, and the more it was maintained, the more difficult it became, and the unfair distribution of wealth was too serious. When the contradictions accumulate to the end, they are exploited by various loopholes.

"What Aiqing said is very true, but if Japan endangers our Ming Dynasty, its destruction is too drastic, so it is better to dismember it. It also alleviates evil. In addition, the cost of dismembering Japan is not high. Zhu Youxiao was still very insistent on the strategy of dismembering Japan, and Yuan Keli saw that the emperor was so insistent, so he didn't say it anymore.

Now that the emperor is in charge, it's good to pretend not to see some small shortcomings.

For people of this era, it is indeed not very clear that Zhu Youxiao's strategy towards Japan, after all, Japan, a small island country, can pose much of a threat to China?

However, they have not seen the history of Japan's war of aggression against China, and it is completely unimaginable that a small Japan would carry out all kinds of massacres in China, and that war also killed and injured tens of millions of Chinese soldiers and civilians.

What Zhu Youxiao is doing at this time. It's to never be a problem.

After formulating this strategy, the situation in Japan became even more chaotic in the tenth year of the apocalypse. The War of the Fall of the Curtain was in full swing, especially for the battle for copper mines, and the forces of all sides could be described as fighting fiercely.

At this time, the warships of the Ming Dynasty sailed to Tsushima Island, and with the support of the Ming Dynasty, the Tsushima Domain directly declared its independence and established the Tsushima Kingdom.

As soon as the Kingdom of Tsushima was established, it was recognized and canonized by the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty will also establish a military base on Tsushima Island and send a navy and army to Tsushima Island.

At the same time, Hongroji Temple signed an agreement with the Joseon Kingdom to sell Jeju Island to Daming for one million silver dollars.

Jeju Island is only an undeveloped place in this year, and the land on this island is relatively barren, so it is indeed a good deal to sell it for a million. What's more, when the country asks for this island, does the DPRK dare not give it?

After the agreement was signed, Daming relocated the Koreans on the island to the Korean mainland, and also paid some resettlement expenses, and then began to emigrate to Jeju Island.

After a few moves, the Ming Dynasty successfully controlled the Tsushima Strait, and the navy and army had been stationed in this area for a long time, and they could intervene in Japan and Korea at any time to prevent Japan's ambition to break into the northeast region.

……

Australia, after some exploration by the gold army, they finally discovered a large amount of gold mines in the Australian outback, and Australia is also a place full of dog-headed gold.

During the decade of the Apocalypse, the Gold Force mined these gold mines.

Australia's development is also continuing, the speed is not very fast, but it is very stable, because Australia is a colony dominated by state-owned capital, and it is somewhat different from Nanyang, and when developing Nanyang, the proportion of private capital is much higher than that of Australia.

Many towns and cities in the coastal areas of Australia have been developed, roughly surrounding the whole of Australia, and the geographical characteristics of Australia are that there is a 'green belt' along the coast, which is most suitable for the development of planting industry. The inland is either a grassland or a desert, with abundant groundwater and a mild climate, which is ideal for the development of animal husbandry.

The people who immigrated to Australia live a quiet and prosperous life here, and the resources here are very rich, especially the per capita resources are extremely rich.

The coastal area is the easiest area to develop, and most of it has been developed at this time, and the state-owned enterprises began to develop the grasslands of the Australian interior and began to build roads to the Australian interior.

The Han people immigrated to Australia in large numbers, bringing cattle, sheep, pigs and other livestock to Australia, and also according to the emperor's abundance, they introduced dung shells to clean up the manure of these livestock.

In addition, the Ming Dynasty strictly prohibits the carrying of messy species across continents.

In addition to animals and plants with obvious economic value, other species with no obvious economic value are not allowed to be brought to Australia from Daming, nor are they allowed to be brought back to Daming from Australia or other colonies to avoid the problem of species invasion.

Under the inspection of customs and the explicit prohibition of it, no one dares to bring a messy species into the country. The main thing is shipping resources, a large number of which are controlled by state-owned enterprises, and the policy is strictly implemented. In the future, there will be more civilian-funded cargo ships, so it is not certain, after all, the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds.

Australia's immigrant population has risen to about 300,000 at this time, and the growth is still relatively stable. In the overseas colonies, because of the abundance of resources, the wages of these immigrant workers were higher than those in the mainland.

The telegraph was also brought from the mainland to Australia in the tenth year of the apocalypse, and the local control of Australia was further strengthened. There is no possibility of rebellion in Australia, after all, there is no industry in Australia, and the raw materials produced have to be shipped back to the mainland, which is inseparable from local support.

In the event of a rebellion, the raw materials here cannot be sold, the goods from outside cannot come in, and there will be no rebellion at all, and the resources here are abundant, the climate is mild, and it is very suitable for living. Who wants to have a good life, but if they run to rebel every day, isn't that enough to support?

Not to mention rebellion, even the people are unlikely to make any demands for independence, after all, Australia's economy is dominated by state-owned enterprises.

Han Chinese immigration activities began to advance into the interior of Australia, and leisurely pastures were established in Australia. The pastures here are very suitable for Han Chinese management, there is no harsh climate environment as the Mongolian steppe, and there is abundant groundwater to support animal husbandry, and the livestock industry is mainly engaged in the production of wool and other raw materials.

In addition to the development of pastures, another pillar industry monopolized by state-owned enterprises is mining. In later generations, Australia was a country of sheep and minecarts, so how could it be without mining?

Prospecting continues and a variety of minerals have been discovered, including high-quality iron ore. However, the development of various mines is still constrained by the lack of transportation capacity, but it has begun to develop, but the scale is not very large, and it is still dominated by copper and gold mines with relatively high mining value.

Australia also began to implement the compulsory education system in the tenth year of the Apocalypse, and in such overseas colonial areas, the implementation of compulsory education is relatively simple, first of all, there is a foundation of economic conditions, and secondly, the system established is established with reference to the local New Deal.

As long as some teachers are recruited, compulsory education can be implemented.

In the development of the Nanyang region, the Golden State Province was officially established in the tenth year of the Apocalypse, and Hermes-Epitek began to land on Sumatra Island and began to build towns along the coast.

The indigenous people on the island were unlucky, and the Ming Dynasty's indigenous treatment policy in Nanyang was to limit the land to plantations for continuous domestication.

A series of military campaigns were also carried out in Golden State Province, which may have been one of the most frequent areas of the Ming military campaign this year, and the other was Australia, which was also a colonial war against the indigenous people.

However, although the Australian aborigines are now working as contract workers, after they integrate into the Ming Dynasty, they can be free, and their descendants will also be the people of the Ming Dynasty.

The continuous colonization activities allowed the Ming Dynasty to obtain huge profits.

At this time, the Europeans were still in the midst of robbing colonial activities, and in the tenth year of the Apocalypse, with the arrival of the first trading fleet in Central America, the precious metals robbed by Banya began to flow into the Ming Dynasty in large quantities, and Banya's colonization activities in South America were just empty in the end.
