Chapter 891: The Advantages and Disadvantages of Tribute

Seeing that Yang Laosan opened the conversation box here, and he benefited a lot from his side, Li Hongzhang's mind turned for a while, and decided to open his mouth to strike while the iron was hot, after nearly two months of peace talks, Li Hongzhang also realized some of his own things, learning from the West to the East, not necessarily a bad thing.

"Third Master, since this is the case, why don't you learn from the West and turn the East Ocean and even the surrounding subject countries into our colonies?"

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Yang Meng was obviously stunned for a moment, it seems that there will be a character who can talk to him on an equal footing in the future, this is not encroachment, nor is it a seizure of power, for Yang Meng, people who can talk to each other on an equal footing are scarce!

Xu Ziwei can be regarded as half, but his heart is greedy, he is afraid that some errands will be handed over to him, which will only harm his life, and only a smart person who is responsible can have the opportunity to talk with Yang Meng on an equal footing, this is the character of Zhuguo.

"Not bad! It's a bit of progress, but it's not the right way!

The colonial policy of the West has a great flaw, and that is plunder!

With the development of the world, the colonies of Europe and the United States will also develop, and no one will be oppressed in vain, and what Europe and the United States do in the colonies is plundering and oppression, although these countries are weak now, but they may not be weak in the future, with the development of time, with our rise, European and American countries will suffer enough blood losses on this policy.

In the matter of Tsarist Russia, many people are talking about Lao Tzu behind their backs, saying that Lao Tzu's methods are too decisive and vicious, and tens of millions of people in Tsarist Russia have been slaughtered in a few months, but this is also something that has to be done.

If we occupy the territory of Tsarist Russia and not slaughter its people, we have the support of Tsarist Russia. These people must not be content with loneliness. Internal unrest continues. There is Tsarist Russia eyeing the outside world, and this large number of territories is troublesome when they get their hands on it, and there are two ways to want the territory of Tsarist Russia, one is to relocate and the other is to slaughter.

At a time when the two sides were at war, the mass relocation of people was undoubtedly a move to dig their own graves. Among these tens of millions of Tsarist Russian people, I am afraid that there are more than 10 million people who can pick up swords and guns to fight.

We will seize their homeland and land, kill their relatives and friends, and they will not fight to the death for this?

Therefore, if you want to get the territory outside the territory, you must use the method of slaughter, and there is no other way to do it, and turning the subject country into a colony sounds like a good thing to open up the territory, but don't you know that if you get such a lot of territory, you can get as many people, and it is also troublesome to manage.

I'm Huaxia. Han Chinese account for the vast majority of the population, and other ethnic groups have also interacted with our Han people for thousands of years. If we were to bring in alien races from the East, Korea, Southeast Asia, and West Asia into the country, how should we arrange their status?

These subject countries have a large population, and with our support, their population will inevitably increase dramatically. ”

Yang Meng's exposition of the colony and the elaboration of foreign policy, he also knew that it was extreme, but all the countries in later generations did this, a hundred years of history, it is difficult to change, the race dispute, but not from the West, Mongolia and the Manchu Qing Dynasty are the people who started it, and the people are divided into three, six, nine, etc., and it is something that has been passed down in China for thousands of years, change? How to change? Who can change it? Who dares to change?

Even if it is changed, who knows if it is selling dog meat on the head of a sheep? Therefore, Yang Meng also supports such extreme remarks, without him, his heart will be different if he is not of my race!

"Oh...... The third master's insight is far-reaching, but I don't know how to deal with subject countries like Korea, Ryukyu, Nanzhang, Siam, Burma, Afghanistan and other countries? Is it like the Orient? ”

The matter of Tsarist Russia, Li Hongzhang, who was born as a scholar, is not the same as Zeng Disheng, regardless of the life and death of the people of Tsarist Russia, the method of slaughter, Li Hongzhang does not support it, but the thing has been done, and it is useless to oppose it, but Yang Laosan's exposition of the European and American colonies is somewhat amazing.

The tributary system established by the former Zhu Ming Dynasty was transmitted to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it had already existed in name only during the Qianlong Dynasty.

Listening to Li Hongzhang's words that are not yin and yang, Yang Meng also knows that the person in front of him who does not support his method of slaughter in Tsarist Russia is the rhythm of wearing small shoes for himself!

"There are some things, just keep it in mind, now that it is the rise of China, seeking common ground while reserving differences is the key, and the method of slaughter may have shortcomings, but this is a national policy, and it doesn't matter if you slander it in your heart, but you must not use it as a means to attack political opponents.

Li Hongzhang, Lao Tzu uses you, just on a change of word, although Zeng Disheng is stubborn, his methods against foreign races are decisive. The rise of a country and a clan will inevitably be stained with blood, and the rise of China is unstoppable. ”

Dialogue on an equal footing, although Yang Meng wanted, but Li Hongzhang's attitude was something that Yang Meng didn't like, and he didn't play any twists and turns, Yang Meng directly hit Li Hongzhang's little Jiujiu.

"Yes! After Hongzhang returns, he will ask for change. ”

Hearing these words, Li Hongzhang's face also changed a little, I thought that this Yang Laosan was a person with a big heart, but he didn't expect that he was also a ruthless person in key matters.

"Change and change are yours!

Let's talk to you about the future policy of the subject country, the tributary system that has continued since the former Ming Dynasty, still has its advantages, and the subject country is a barrier, a very good concept!

However, the previous Nagong ministers had great shortcomings, and in international political affairs, interests came first, and those subject countries made some rags in exchange for our good things, and they could not be determined in the future.

Nagon? What is Nagon? You have to go back and think about it, the exile is too small, and its location is critical, so don't do it to the subject country, and plan it on your side in the future to see if you can include it, and it is not impossible to give him a Ryukyu Prefecture.

The East, the country of wolves, is good to be a watchdog; In Southeast Asia, there is a country named Lanfang, which can be given a vacancy in one province with reference to the policy of exile.

Siam, Burma, Annam, Nanzhang, Lao Tzu had planned to use domestic resources as tribute in exchange for my maintenance.

West Asia, Afghanistan can refer to the countries of Southeast Asia, and the three khanates of Central Asia do not have to stay, incorporate!

Mongolia, Kazakhstan and Tsarist Russia's Eastern European Plain and the Ishim steppe have become new countries, and we will strongly support them.

India, it's not yet hot, take a look at it again, maybe under the weight of England, they will also be like Southeast Asia, called the tribute! ”

Yang Meng's remarks were not so much an exposition of the tributary system as a plan for Asia's international relations.

"Third master, you just said that the colonial policy of Europe and the United States is wrong on top of oppression, if you mean it, aren't we just oppressing the surrounding subject countries? How much is the difference between a subject country and a colony? ”

Li Hongzhang's words also point directly to his heart, this Yang Laosan's so-called vassal system is similar to the Western colonial system, the so-called tributary system, but that's it!

"Hey, hey! You dare to ask, Li Hongzhang, let me ask you, how to deal with yourself in officialdom?

Oily? Eight-sided exquisite? Have nine tricks in your heart? Casual facade? Outside square and round inside?

The policy of the colony, in addition to oppression and plunder, our tributary system, oppression is more but plunder, but these words, can't be said in another way?

Whether it is the East, Southeast Asia, or West Asia, they are all facing a big problem today, that is, the invasion of the West.

As suzerains, how do we behave ourselves? The most direct thing is just to send troops! The military expenditure of this country is extravagant, and many subject countries need more than 1 million troops and hundreds of warships to protect them properly.

It is recorded in the history books that the division of benevolence and righteousness crossed the border, and the local people all ate pot pulp to welcome the soldiers.

Western technology, but there is a sharpness, and there is no cost to pass it on to the subject country? With our technology, in exchange for the resources of the subject country, isn't this considered tribute?

The development of the mine has been repeated by many subject countries, and how many of them can be used in the West. It's really not much, and we help the subject country to open mines and get on the machine, shouldn't we take the lion's share of the minerals? Isn't this Nagon?

The relationship between the subject countries, to put it bluntly, is all on an obscure appearance, and the people of the subject country accept it, which is the tributary system, but you Li Hongzhang is forced to ask for it.

Are you still unwilling? ”

Yang Meng's previous words had a kind of meaning that made Li Hongzhang's brain open, so that's the case! Some things, in other words, are just, benevolent, benevolent and righteous, as long as you keep the appearance, this is a good thing!

And Yang Meng's last sentence made Li Hongzhang drench in a cold sweat, the one in front of him, the depth of his thoughts was amazing, but the most frightening thing was his ability to recognize people, this Yang Laosan's vision seemed to be able to see through people's hearts!

"Hongzhang doesn't dare!"

"Humph! Whether you dare is not in your mouth, but in your hands, Lao Tzu does not scruple to kill, dare to harm me, no one in the world can not kill!

Nai Shi Zeng Disheng, the leader of the world's scholars, in charge of millions of troops abroad, did not dare to say goodbye to Lao Tzu, you are a size of the meritorious, powerless scholars, also want to bring down Lao Tzu, don't you think it's a little ridiculous?

You Li Hongzhang can be used, but you are not an indispensable person, when you first met with European envoys, Lao Tzu used a tea doctor, and he could also deal with Ignatiev, who do you think you are?

If you want to take advantage of Zuo Jigao's momentum to kill the world, Zeng Disheng still doesn't dare, how dare you Li Hongzhang? ”

These words are just word for word, Li Hongzhang, who heard this, knelt in front of the hall with a pale face, Yang Laosan is unmatched, and after these few words, it has penetrated into his heart.

"Hongzhang doesn't dare! Hongzhang doesn't dare! ”

"Forget it, these are the words that guide the way, if you have a heart, you can be high, if you don't have a heart, after a few years, you will inevitably go into the wilderness!

You Li Hongzhang are so self-cherishing and realizing! (To be continued......)
