Chapter 480: Colonization and Forced Demolition
At present, for Daming, the more important point is the internal reform. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe southern provinces have been included in the reform in the fifteenth year of the Apocalypse, but the southwestern provinces have not been included in the reform. The people of Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou are still living in the traditional model.
Of course, the traditional model is not so urgent to reform in Sichuan and Yunnan-Guizhou regions. After all, there are not so many natural disasters there, and capitalism is not so developed, and the small-scale peasant economy is relatively well maintained.
With the development of the industrial revolution in the Ming Dynasty, the small-scale peasant economy in Sichuan and Yunnan-Guizhou regions has also begun to be impacted, so it is still necessary to reform as soon as possible.
Zhu Youxiao discussed with the ministers and decided to start the southwest reform in the sixteenth year of the Apocalypse, and strive to completely complete the reform of the entire Ming Dynasty in the eighteenth year of the Apocalypse.
In terms of foreign colonization strategy, Zhu Youxiao was also divided into three stages.
The first stage is to thoroughly colonize the Korean Peninsula, Indochina Peninsula, Southeast Asia, and India, and do a good job in management and experience accumulation.
The second stage was the violent demolition of the Ottomans and Persia, and the colonization of the Slavs. At the same time, the Ming Dynasty began to enter Africa on a large scale to colonize and operate.
The third stage was to conquer Central and South America and colonize Europe by force.
After these three strategic steps are completed, the whole world will be under the control of the Ming Dynasty, and the focus is still on how to manage these colonies.
With so many colonies, it was obviously unlikely that they would be too carefully managed at first. And for these countries, at the beginning, they still had to cooperate with the original rulers and subdue them to serve the Ming Dynasty. However, in the future, a series of reforms will be carried out for these countries. How to change it depends on the different circumstances, and the core is to manage those colonies in detail.
Under such circumstances, the Korean Peninsula and the Indochina Peninsula have also become experimental pilots of the Ming Dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty was on the Korean Peninsula and had already directly intervened in administrative management. In the Indochina Peninsula, the regions of Annam, Champa and Khmer were included in the administrative scope of the Ming Dynasty.
Siam and Myanmar have not yet been included in this model.
This model is to raise the kings of these small countries, let them live like pigs, do not have to care about anything, do not have to worry about anything, and the glory and wealth are guaranteed by the Ming Dynasty. As for the management of the country, it was all transferred to the Ming Dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty made the cake bigger through management, and at the same time turned these areas into dumping places for commodities and raw materials, grains and so on.
In fact, this model is the kind of Tusi system implemented by the Ming Dynasty in the past, and those Tusi surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, and then handed over the tribe to the Ming Dynasty for management.
With the issuance of the policy, the governor of Nanyang immediately put forward relevant requirements to Siam and Burma.
After the king of Siam received this request, he was sad and angry in his heart, but he was so scared that he was going to die, since the kingdom made this request, it was obvious that he would not give up, and he could only have a strong reluctance, and reluctantly accepted the request made by the Ming Dynasty.
After the King of Siam agreed to this request, the Ming Governor of Nanyang immediately sent administrative staff to Siam, and at the same time the marines were stationed in Siam, waiting for the imperial court to send a Siamese governor.
As for the Myanmar side, it has not replied, obviously not happy.
But it was useless not to be happy, Zhang Yan directly led the navy to Burma, the Burmese saw the Ming fleet coming, they didn't dare to stop it, thousands of marines swaggered to land on the territory of Burma, and then marched all the way to the capital of Burma.
When the king of Burma received the news, he was almost scared to death.
Daming's actions in the Indochina Peninsula, they can see it. Annan jumped so much before, but now he was directly shot to death by Daming.
The Ming Dynasty had a strong fleet at sea, and there were also a large number of marines with extremely powerful firearms and equipment.
What will Myanmar resist?
Those Portuguese artillerymen hired in earlier years have long since retreated.
When the Marines came to Yangon, the Burmese king could only run out to greet them, and there was no military conflict, but the Marines were stationed directly in Yangon.
The king of Burma then signed a series of treaties with the Ming Dynasty, handed over the administrative power and military power, and then went to live a pig-like life.
With the complete seizure of the administrative and military power of Burma and Siam, the Ming Dynasty has gained control of the entire Indochina Peninsula.
The telegram was sent to the capital, and Zhu Youxiao immediately made an official canonization of the kings of Siam and Burma, canonized them as the kings of Siam and Burma, and sent a bunch of rewards.
At the same time, governors were sent to Siam and Burma, as well as a number of administrative staff.
For the management of Siam and Burma, it is natural that it needs to be gradual. It is necessary to find out the context of these two countries and figure out which vested interest groups exist within their borders before they can carry out reforms. And before the reform, it is necessary to have a high degree of control over the executive power, as well as the military power.
The purpose of the reform was to cut off the interests of those vested interest groups, and then exploit the resources of these colonies, produce more raw materials and agricultural products, and turn them into dumping grounds for commodities of the Ming Dynasty.
The core is to crack down on the elite and landlord class and cultivate the small and medium-sized comprador class. In other words, these colonies are governed as a province of the Ming Dynasty, but because of cultural differences and language differences, the Ming Dynasty must rule to a certain extent with the help of those elite classes, so the intensity of the attack must be controlled.
For example, in countries such as North Korea and Annam, which have long been influenced by Chinese culture, the Ming Dynasty can directly attack those landlords and elites, and then rule directly. After striking at the landlords and the elite class, the plundering of the colonial people can be reduced to a certain extent, so as to create more space for the plundering of the Ming Dynasty, and the plundering of these colonies by the Ming Dynasty will at least ensure the basic needs of the people in those colonies, such as not being starved to death. At the same time, the Ming Dynasty would also improve the environment for agricultural production, invest in water conservancy facilities, and build railways to facilitate the plundering of raw materials and the export of goods.
If those landlords and elites are not suppressed, these groups will squeeze the population of the colony, and if the Ming Dynasty plunders again, a large group of people in the colony will not survive.
Of course, for many barbarians, they have never been in charge of their own affairs, and they do not know how to resist. After all, barbarians and Huaxia are different, the Chinese people can't survive and often rebel, but those barbarians overseas are not, those barbarians don't have that tradition, they pin more hope on the world after death, begging the gods to let them go to heaven after death.
Therefore, those foreign religions are actually begging for obscenity, while the religion in China is actually the indoctrination of temples and saints, and it is extremely inappropriate to translate those begging and obscene activities into religion.
A person with a sound personality and spirit does not need to beg for souls. The reason why Huaxia has never been controlled by those beggar obscene organizations is mainly because of the profound cultural heritage of Huaxia, and the people have been the masters of the country for a long time, overthrowing I don't know how many dynasties, and there is generally no demand for begging spirits, and only in some areas there will be such a phenomenon, for example, a large group of White Lotus Sects have been active in North China for a long time, and from time to time they will change their vests and come out to make trouble.
The origin of this beggar obscene civilization should be the Egyptian civilization. Then it spread to the Middle East, where the Arabs are a very good people who are good at deception, and the Jews also belong to the ranks of the Arabs, but these two Arabs, because they have created two different systems of deception, have become feuds. The religion of the Jews in Europe was divided into two systems.
Buddhism was born in India, which exported deception in exchange for goods.
After Buddhism was introduced to China, it became a shell resource for local religious people, and after successive official suppressions, Buddhism was deeply transformed by China's local culture, and the harm to society became much smaller.
It would be ridiculous to take those beggars as a religion. Only people who are not mentally sound, or who are in despair and don't know how to fight, choose to believe in those things. Once they are told that these things are fake, these people will also be angry, which is a typical withdrawal reaction, and these begging and obscene activities are not much different from drugs, they are completely psychotropic drugs, and they make people chatter.
The dose of psychotropic drugs used in some beggars' obscene activities is smaller, and the dose of some cults is relatively large.
In overseas barbarian lands, begging and obscenity are extremely popular, and ordinary people who fall into despair basically do not fight, but hope in what happens after death.
Those who say that the Chinese people are too docile to resist the tyrannical rule may not know that the barbarian people are actually more cowardly, enslaved from ancient times to the present, but have never turned over and become the masters.
Those barbarian lands are essentially slavery. Even in the age of capital, it was still slavery.
The Western model of slavery is a 'shepherd-sheepdog-sheep' model, while in India it is a 'gorilla-baby orangutan-breeder' model.
The shepherds started out as big dogs, and the shepherd dogs were the ruling class below, enslaving the people under the banner of big dogs. In the capitalist era, money replaced the dog, the capitalist replaced the sheepdog, and the worker became the sheep.
The Indian model is a large group of small orangutans, under the banner of gorillas, telling people that if you feed the orangutans, the greater the blessings in the next life. In the next life, you can also be a little orangutan, you can be a rich person, or you can be a high caste. So the people of India, like breeders. At the same time, India had a caste system, which, when combined with Hinduism, constituted a country with a tight class blockade. Ordinary people simply cannot break through the class blockade, and can only hope to provide more wealth for the orangutans, so as to obtain the privilege of reincarnation, and hope that they can have a good birth in the next life.
Therefore, the system of overseas barbarians is a ready-made slavery.
And the people of the Barbarian Lands are relatively simple-minded and can't figure out these things. Just beat them up and tell them that you are a lowly person, that you are born to be a slave, and that I am God's spokesman, who specifically punishes you fools, and then the fools who are beaten are very happy, and kneel down and lick the stick that beat them violently.
This model does not work in China, and the common people with a bit of culture know that the sage once said that the way of heaven is the highest existence, and nothing can be above the way of heaven. As long as you have no way, I will be able to win when I get up and fight, the only problem is that there will be sacrifices in the struggle, if the life can barely survive, I will not fight with you, if a large group of people are forced to a dead end, the left and right are one death, then simply fight, even if it is sacrificed, those who have no way will definitely perish.
Among the several civilizations in the world, only the Chinese civilization circle is not slavery, and the Indians, Middle Easterners, and European Europeans are all slaves.
When the Ming Dynasty wanted to colonize these areas now, the first question to consider was how to deal with this kind of slavery, whether to violently demolish these systems, or to keep them.
The cost of violent demolition is relatively large, and it is obvious that even if the Ming Dynasty surpasses a lot in military technology, it cannot withstand the continuous impact of those spiritual opium addicts who are not afraid of death.
One of the easiest to demolish should be the orangutan breeding garden model in India, where the orangutans are relatively low-energy, and it is not a big problem to demolish them. Previously, Zhu Youxiao also had an attitude of forced demolition, and forcibly demolished the caste system in Bangladesh in later generations, but Hinduism did not touch it.
Secondly, the European sheep herding model is also relatively easy to demolish, but the difficulty is higher than that of the orangutan breeding zoo in India.
The most difficult to demolish is the Middle East, where the dose of spiritual opium is the largest, but it is a well-known cemetery of a large country. Rashly carrying out forced demolition activities in the Middle East may result in bloodshed, cost people and money, and even hollow out all the national strength.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao's tendency at this time was to first co-opt and then slowly dismantle it by exporting culture. Co-optation also had the advantage of taking over a ready-made system of slavery. The colonial plundering of these places by the Ming Dynasty can gradually marginalize those organizations by constantly compressing the interests of those beggar and obscene organizations, and slowly extinguishing these organizations by boiling frogs in warm water.
Therefore, in the face of each colony, the colonization method cannot be exactly the same, and it is necessary to judge the situation and then formulate corresponding policies.
However, there is also a rule, that is, simple colonization and sophisticated colonization.
Countries like North Korea and Annam, because the power of the beggar obscenity organization is not strong, and they have been influenced by Chinese culture for a long time, they can carry out sophisticated colonial management, and make the cake bigger before plundering. The other countries of Indochina are entrenched by Buddhism, and it is easier to demolish them than in India.
Buddhism in the Ming Dynasty has been forcibly demolished by Zhu Youxiao, although Zhu Youxiao did not prohibit people from believing in Buddhism, nor did he demolish the temple. However, the Buddhist personnel were thoroughly managed, all Buddhist personnel were registered, and the imperial court paid living expenses to the monks every month, but the income of the temple was owned by the imperial court.
It is equivalent to those monks who can have no worries about food and clothing, but it is also an ordinary life, and if you want to make money by Buddhist deception, there is no way. It's just that Buddhism has a certain function of cultivation after local improvement, so this system fully retains this function.
If you want to practice, you can become a monk, and the court will give them living expenses, and you can practice with peace of mind. As for the fake monks who want to make money from this, they have already fainted in the toilet crying, because the imperial court has not only taken away all the income from the temple's incense, but is also preparing legislation to prohibit the people from giving money to monks.
This model can also be popularized in Indochina, and some high-ranking monks can also be sent from the Ming Dynasty to rectify the atmosphere and transform Buddhism in Indochina.
