Chapter 2: Fixation of Egypt (11)
In addition to the Rakshasa country, the most abundant iron ore reserves in the world are Brazil and Canada, so Ding Yi said that the Americas are rich in minerals, and there is no problem. The key is because there is no manpower to develop the Americas, to enter the Americas, focusing on the black army is an indispensable process, the Native Americans are not living in dire straits, people can pick up food casually when they go out, Ding Yi is worried, when he arrives in the Americas, he is afraid that the indigenous people will not even be able to incite the grievance conference.
The unique geographical location makes the livelihood of the Americans not much better than that of Asia and Africa. Because civilization is very rudimentary, exploitation is not necessarily as strict as it is feared. How to hold a grievance meeting? It's hard to find contradictions, right? The Indians have a good tribal life, what are you fanning? Where to start? If there is a high-intensity centralization, whether it is a Mamluk or an Ottoman regime, it can still arouse the people, but the problem is that there are no people at all.
After appeasing Li Jiangtou, Ding Yi rubbed his temples and said to Wan An, Liu Ji, Li Bing, Xu Bin, Liu Tie and others:
"Let's discuss how mass work can be carried out if we enter the Americas! If the intelligence sources are not too wrong, then the tribal alliance of the Aztecs and Incas is about the two centers of American civilization. ”
"According to the information gathered by the intelligence services, the Indians of North America are still in the matrilineal clan stage, while the Aztecs and Incas are likely to have begun the transition to a class society."
The so-called intelligence department is Ding Yi's concealment of his own memory, because he always has to explain the source of information.
"Then it's like the fishskin Jurchen in the black mountain and white water over there in Jianzhou?" Liu Ji is very keen to grasp the point, because he is now under Ding Yi. His position is to engage in propaganda work, united front work, and so on, so this issue is very crucial.
Ding Yi smiled bitterly and nodded. Because Ding remembered that it was the sixteenth century. At its peak, the Aztec nation had only three million people. Moreover, the so-called Aztec kings were elected by the tribal council from a specific family, and were in fact the supreme military chieftain, with no hereditary rights, and could be deposed by the tribal council.
It seems to be a little better to understand it as a tribal alliance.
For the Ming army, which looked at the whole of America, there was really no need to think too much, so Ding Yi said to Liu Ji: "The Aztecs are likely to have a country. However, in the Americas as a whole, the scale is not too large, and we should still be dealing with a large number of primitive tribes that have not yet produced a class society. ”
A class society gives rise to the ruling class and the ruled class.
Even the more advanced civilizations in the Americas may have just given rise to class societies.
Liu Ji also began to feel a headache, what is the concept of a society without classes?
That is, the propaganda work cannot be done!
In the tribe. Even if the chief is not the young and strong father, it may be his fifth grandfather or seventh grandfather.
Let the young people in the tribe overthrow the rule of his fifth grandfather or seventh grandfather, or even his own grandfather?
Isn't that? Maybe someone's father came over and yelled. Slap twice, what the hell propaganda work, it will come to naught.
Xu Bin quickly spoke: "The establishment of the Kunlun Nu Foreign Legion. It's time to wait. On this side of the canal, there is no need for so many people. If you are free, you might as well pick some people. Take a look at the formation of several Egyptian regiments. ”
It is true that the big project of canal dredging has been done for so many years, and the remaining maintenance and small projects do not need so many people. But the main thing is that the old gentleman has been getting close to Li Bing recently, and he feels addicted to the foreign army when he listens to how to use Korean soldiers to fight the Japanese.
If you have nothing to do, you will be convicted of beating the grass valley, there is no money to control the Yellow River here, there is a locust plague over there and you have to tear down the east wall to make up the west wall, and there is a civil rebellion, and the emperor has gone hunting in the north again...... To expect officials to love the people like sons is to expect a large number of saints to suddenly appear.
After the northern conquest and the southern war, the basic Huaxia was pacified, and the border areas of Yunyuan and Liangguang were basically reformed, while Yunnan and Guizhou began to be undone, and the poor ran to Yunyuan and Liangguang, so the landlord class had to reduce rent and interest, which also achieved the initial effect of land reform.
Zhejiang's scholar class is the most shrewd, caught the first train of the industrial revolution, and many people were incited to serve as officials overseas, the land issue is not too difficult to implement, there are people who resist, but it is not large-scale, basically the same as Yungui, rent and interest reduction, to achieve a certain effect.
The grassland is bloodier, but the Duyin tribe is an example, many tribes have pledged allegiance to Ding Yi, except for the bad thing of the personality cult of Ding, it is basically stable.
After the war was over, dozens of supply ships unloaded the ballast stones, and returned to China with the gold, silver, and handicrafts that Li Jiangtou disliked.
The so-called warehouse knows etiquette, and food and clothing know honor and disgrace.
At this point, especially on the side of the New Army, if a soldier is martyred or disabled, a large amount of pension will be paid, and the officials will naturally consider that the life of the son of Huaxia is precious, and it is better to have less losses. So Xu Bin now, every time he discusses the matter, he has to say a few words, hoping to get more foreign soldiers, and it's best not to let the Chinese go into battle in a war.
"It is not advisable to over-expand the Foreign Legion, first, the training and equipment cannot keep up, if it is the same as the old-style military households, it has no meaning; First, the Tang Dynasty appointed a large number of foreign soldiers, and the troubles of the guide zhì must not be ignored! Wan An came out to disagree with Xu Bin.
I have to say that in terms of military strategy, Wan An has more vision than Xu Bin, and Li Bing also thinks so: "Bing seconded the words of Xunji." ”
"Back to business." Ding Yi looked at Xu Bin with a posture of preparing to spray, and hurriedly guided him.
"Kunlun slaves are in the rainforest, and their livelihood is difficult, if they can be lured by profit; The Native Americans are rich in products, and it is difficult to comply with the temptation of profits. Wan An also smiled bitterly, waiting for everyone here, he knows more about the Americas, after all, Yang Shan went to Venezuela to find rubber and sweet potatoes, as well as concubines, Wan An was more or less involved at that time.
Huang Xiaoyang, who has always been silent about deliberations, said at this time: "First brother, you are all related to the characters of the university and the Wenqu star, Ah Yang doesn't dare to speak, and he is surprised to say that he is wrong and laughs at the dead." However, are you too troublesome to think about? If the natives don't listen to the teachings, they will be willing to beat Luo! Hit them until they're honest! Besides, I am transported people from Guangdong to the past, and I can get it! Guangdong can't recruit people, go to the north to recruit! ”
As soon as Huang Xiaoyang spoke, Xu Bin smiled and said, "Zi said, the disease is too bad, and the chaos is also!" "If you press too much, you'll get into trouble. Simply relying on force to suppress it, there will be all kinds of chaos, and there is no problem with the words themselves, but opening their mouths like this is "Zi Yue", which is a kind of overlook at Huang Xiaoyang.
was cut off like this, Huang Xiaoyang subconsciously shut up.
It's not that he has low self-esteem, it's that at this age, the scholar just looks down on the martial artists.
The power of tradition is not something that Ding Yi can reverse in ten years, not to mention that in ten years, and in the next few years, his popularity has reached the point where it is enough to influence the trend.
On the side, Li Bing obviously didn't agree with Xu Bin's attitude, so he helped Huang Xiaoyang speak: "Mr. Yanghao, Admiral Huang has been in office for many years, and it is said that 'three years of study, not to the valley, it is not easy!'" 'What's the matter?' "After studying for three years, I can't be an official yet, it's rare, Huang Xiaoyang has been admiring the Mediterranean Fleet for so many years, and he has his opinion, it is not right for Xu Bin to look down on people like this.
Originally, he spoke for Huang Xiaoyang, but they were all scholars, Xu Bin came out of the Taibo chapter, and Li Bing also came out of the Taibo chapter.
As a result, Huang Xiaoyang on the side made a big red face, and he didn't dare to speak again.
He is no better than Ding Yi, Ding Yi has received a modern university education, has rich experience, and knows many Chinese, and is a guy who is obsessed with ancient culture, and has been abused by a group of champions for several years with sea tactics, and can integrate into the circle of scholars, of course, his own efforts are the main reason, but this is also a foundation.
Huang Xiaoyang was born as a pirate, and after voting for Ding Yi, although he now knows more than 2,000 Chinese characters, and can understand military newspapers and documents with punctuation, how can he understand it when he comes out so casually? A Cantonese official dialect has not been corrected until now!
"Mr. Yanghao, Zhai, this is not good." Ding Yi spoke, this kind of tone that is too high can never be carried out under the command of Ding, "The popularization of vernacular language is the key to solving the literacy rate, and I, as the leader of vernacular language, must promote it as much as possible." ”
Ding Yi didn't quote scriptures from them, and this can be sprayed for a few days, so it may not be able to spray convincing.
The soldiers of the basic new-style Ming army, who have served for four years, can write their own letters in the literacy class every night, and can also read the soldiers' newspapers issued in the army.
There is pinyin, there is punctuation, and it itself lowers the threshold of literacy a lot, otherwise, just a "hundred readings and understanding its meaning" to break the sentence, it is a very high threshold. Even black soldiers, whose bones are tied to the first garrison regiment, can also write some military newspapers and letters.
Because the rainforest tribe has no writing at all, the blacks are not Europeans, they will not be as entangled as Prince Henry, and the expression of the Ming official dialect is different from the European language. They only know that this represents civilization and advancement, but they learn quickly.
The soldiers have basically served for six or seven years, and in order to be promoted, in order to be like a Ming man, the laziest black man, they have learned four or five hundred Chinese characters, and the diligent ones are more diligent, and the mastery rate of more than 1,000 Chinese characters is not surprising. This is what Li Bing and Xu Bin have seen, and as soon as the big killer comes out, they can't help but disagree. (To be continued......)
