Chapter 456: The Establishment of a Unified Global Order
The Battle of Moscow, far away in Europe, was not known to the outside world at first due to inconvenient transportation and information blockage, and the exposure was very low.
At this time, in the territory of the Ming Empire, everyone's attention was focused on the progress of the "Global Conquest Plan".
People are very curious to know what obstacles and difficulties the expeditionary corps encountered on the American continent, what obstacles and difficulties it encountered on the Europa continent, and what mineral resources have been successfully discovered on the African continent, and how much benefit it can bring.
In short, the people of Daming have a small calculation in their heads every day, wanting to know how many resources Daming can harvest from this global expansion.
You must know that in the previous feudal dynasty, the people of the Ming Dynasty had no interest in foreign land and resources at all, and only thought that it was all a miasma of smoke, with countless snakes, insects, rats and ants.
Therefore, even if there are really countless gold and silver mines overseas, they will not be too interested, will not pay too much attention and attention, and will not even be willing to take him there if they are given the opportunity, because in their concept, the best land is the land of Shenzhou, and the best population is the population of the continent of Shenzhou.
There is no need to covet other people's things, you are a paradise-like place, you have all resources, there is no shortage of any products, other lands are undeveloped wilderness, the danger is very high, there is no need to run over to develop, unless it is in the end of the war, you will not go to a foreign land.
This conservative and traditional idea, after years of propaganda and education in Xujiazhuang's "Oriental Times", now few people regard the Ming Dynasty as extremely precious, and do not take the overseas place as a matter at all, on the contrary, now many people in the Ming Dynasty concept, the overseas is full of gold and silver treasures and opportunities of the golden land, the Ming Dynasty, but it is fiercely competitive, serious involution, not easy to live and survive the place, go abroad to find opportunities, as long as you work hard enough, you will be able to live better.
And it is easier to survive outside the country, which is also based on various facts.
For example, in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the government was too greedy, there were this and that tax, as well as all kinds of forced labor and obligations, and the pressure was very great, while in the overseas land, there was no official system constraints, there was no tax and that tax, how many seeds were planted, and how much grain was harvested, all of which belonged to the laborers themselves, and they were working completely for themselves, so they were generally full of motivation, high enthusiasm, and very diligent and hardworking.
Of course, living outside of Daming is not without disadvantages, that is, it is a little far away from the industrial center of Daming, resulting in the price of various industrial products, which is obviously much more expensive than in Daming, and even several times different.
For example, bicycles, in today's Ming Dynasty, the cheapest bicycle, as long as ten silver dollars a, the quality is acceptable, in addition to the road system extending in all directions, you can go anywhere, very convenient and convenient, and covered the telegraph network, as long as you send a telegram, no matter how far apart, can be delivered quickly, the timeliness is very high.
And outside the borders of the Ming Dynasty, only within the scope of some large estates, with quite good internal transportation facilities, but to other areas, unless it is to take the sea and waterway, it can be more convenient, land transportation is very inconvenient, the price of a bicycle, is generally in the thirty, fifty or even hundreds of silver dollars a piece, and it is not necessarily possible to buy a brand new bicycle, there is a probability of second-hand assembly of cars.
In addition, there are also the prices of radios, engines, pumps, tractors and other machines, which are also overseas markets, and the prices will obviously be much more expensive, and the difference of ten times may be very high, and it is facing the problem of being expensive in all aspects.
So go to overseas places to develop, although it is very easy to survive, it is very easy to eat and dress warmly, and even in the orchards in the tropics, you can eat fruits all day long, and all kinds of marine fish and seafood by the sea, it is simply a paradise of food, I don't know how cool it is, and I don't need to work much, even if I don't have a job, I can find a fruit tree to eat, and the perennial high temperature, clothes don't need a few pieces of fabric, the survival pressure is really very small, no matter how lazy people are, it is difficult to starve to death and die.
However, if you want to live a luxurious and enjoyable life, you can only live in the Ming Dynasty, especially if you want to find a way to join Xujiazhuang.
Extremely luxurious villa.
State-of-the-art and convenient home appliances.
There is also a well-developed transportation system.
Extremely comfortable and fast luxury cars and railway cars.
Even buy a plane that can fly into the sky, you can fly thousands of miles a day, which can be described as extremely fast and convenient, and even with the help of small cargo planes, the top food from all over the world can be delivered to the harbor city of Xujiazhuang with the fastest efficiency, served on the table of the elite, and enjoyed by the top bigwigs in the most delicious and fresh state.
If you feel tired, you can also take a luxury cruise, go for a few laps of the sea, see the scenery on the sea, do some sea fishing, etc. - the fun of rich people is really beyond imagination.
So it's easy to come to a very reasonable conclusion.
The Ming Dynasty: the hell of the bottom population, the opportunity of the middle population, and the paradise of the upper population.
Overseas lands: a paradise for the lower population, an opportunity for the middle population, and a wilderness for the upper population.
Of course, in addition to the Ming Dynasty and overseas places, there is also a place that has great potential for development, and there are many internal opportunities, the system is quite equal, and there are many opportunities.
This kind of place is the king's manor established under the Xujiazhuang system.
So far, in addition to the Ming Dynasty, a total of 20 king's estates have been established, including one on the Korean Peninsula, one in Japan, five in the South Seas, three in the northeast of the Ming Dynasty, three in Australia, one in New Zealand, and six in the Americas - but only a small number have been completed, and most of them are under construction or planning.
And Xu Yuan's goal is to increase the number of king's manors to 108 in the world, all over the world, every big road must have, and must occupy a key geographical location, like a core base, the whole world is connected, chained, no matter what local power rises in the future, will face the pressure exerted by the king's manor, once you dare to make a rebellion, it will be immediately suppressed with iron blood, and it will be under the full reinforcement of Xujiazhuang, Discourage any challenger from coming forward.
That is, the 108 king's manors are not only 108 military bases, but also 108 industrial centers and economic centers, and 108 resource control centers, which play a very important role in suppression, and it is necessary to continuously extract resources from all over the world into these 108 king's estates, constituting the main component of the world's GDP.
With the support of Xujiazhuang, it will become 108 science and technology centers and financial centers, with the ability to issue and manage common currencies, so as to influence and control the economic development of the whole world.
In time.
A unified global order with clear layers has been established.
At the top of this order, it is naturally extremely powerful Xujiazhuang, which holds the three major hegemony of military, science and technology, and finance, which is not only powerful and terrible, and the scientific and technological strength is far ahead of other strengths, but also has mastered the nuclear-powered money printing machine.
In the middle of this global order, it is natural that the 108 king's estates attached to Xujiazhuang, these king's estates, don't look at it, only occupy millions of acres of land, but they occupy the essence, either can develop agriculture and grow countless grains, or there are many mines underground, which cannot be mined for hundreds of years, or occupy an important geographical location, which is a place where soldiers must fight, and it is a place where merchants must pass through, with countless business opportunities.
What's more, with the support of Xujiazhuang, these king's manors will establish a set of primary industrial system, even if it is not particularly advanced, but it can also solve a large number of jobs through industry, bring more opportunities, create more wealth, and then can become a financial tentacle node, Tianxia Tong Bank only needs to issue so many hundreds of millions of banknotes, you can live an extremely nourishing life, so the upper limit of the development of the king's manor, can generally reach the scale of per capita income of 1,000 silver dollars, and can also enter a very developed society.
In the lower middle and lower levels of this global order, is the current Ming Empire, although the current Ming Empire, a bit of a dull, slow development, a large number of young and strong people leave and lose, many places at the grassroots level of order on the verge of collapse, but also a variety of local power, such as the Guanning military group, Fujian Zheng group, Sichuan Shizhu Tusi group, warlord groups in various places, etc., around each group, there are hundreds of thousands of millions of Ming people, these people and people, the Ming government can not control them, The local tycoons are very good to them, providing very stable jobs and incomes, and if they are high-level talents, they will be reused, which is much better than following the Ming court.
This is like some kind of cancer, which is hollowing out the foundation of the entire Ming Dynasty, which is definitely not a good thing, and after a few years, it may become an unstable factor and bring many dangers.
But for Xujiazhuang, in such a unification, there are all kinds of fragmented and powerful forces, which is not a bad thing, and it is more conducive to influence and control.
For example, you can use the influence of the Ming royal family to exert pressure or influence on the powerful people in various places, so that they can do their duty one by one, develop honestly, and cannot be excessively inflated, let alone challenge the authority of the Ming royal family, otherwise once they cross the line, they will face the joint pressure of Xujiazhuang and the Ming royal family, in the face of such pressure, even the Guanning Army Group with 600,000 armor now, does not dare to have any careful thoughts, only dare to humbly hibernat, even if in private, there are many new generation of Guanning Army children, I feel very unconvinced, there is a tendency and impulse to challenge the existing order, and from time to time I make radical remarks, but the strength and wealth of Xujiazhuang are there, and the authority of the Ming Empire is there, so for the time being, it is just a verbal cannon, and if you want to really take action, it is estimated that it will take thirty or fifty years.
And if the Ming royal family grows, the prestige of the people is restored, and it has a certain ability to change the pattern, Xu Jiazhuang will unite with the powerful factions in various places to put pressure on the Ming royal family, and the royal family is by no means the opponent of so many powerful forces united, so they can only bow their heads and compromise, give up the wrong idea of boosting the imperial power, and be forced to become a salted fish to lie flat, and stop dreaming of the emperor.
And at the bottom of the order, of course, are the countries of the world outside the Ming Dynasty, there are hundreds of these countries, some are poor and some are rich, some are more civilized and advanced, some are extremely primitive and backward, uneven, the difference is huge, some can bring some help to Xujiazhuang, but most of them are cumbersome existence, the reason why they have not been destroyed by force, is just because there is no need, and such an external country, the positioning is the object of exploitation, is the supplier of raw materials, is the supply of cheap labor, It is a place where the financial sickle is regularly harvested, but there will be no hope, because their positioning is the bottom, unless they can rely on their tenacious fighting spirit and super ability to break the blockade and monopoly in all aspects, and grow into a strong and wealthy country, otherwise, they can only live a more miserable life, and it is difficult to change their fate.
Isn't this too unfair, shouldn't these countries have a chance to develop, and don't they deserve to be rich and powerful?
It's just that there is no fairness in this world.
If Xujiazhuang wants to rule the world well, it is impossible to treat everyone equally, so that it will bring a lot of chaos, the only way is to establish a pyramid-shaped stable order, that is, to maintain a certain amount of upper and lower mobility, and will not waste too much resources on the bottom of the population, because poverty itself can bring the impetus for development, can drive people to change their own destiny, even if they can't change all the poor, they can also change themselves and their families, so as to bring upward momentum for development. All strata have been taken care of, and wasting too many resources will not necessarily bring good results.
All in all.
The time came to the twentieth year of Chongzhen, in the middle of March.
With the battle of Moscow, the Rakshasa Empire and the Houjin Eight Banners, the news of the death of these two forces came, in every corner of the world, there is basically no force that can challenge the ruling order of Xujiazhuang, and various places have been conquered one after another, advanced productive forces, advanced culture and system, and a fairer distribution method, so that Xujiazhuang's governance model has been supported by the majority, and there are fewer and fewer rebels.
Therefore, the 20th year of Chongzhen is the first year of the establishment of a unified global order.
