Chapter 273: The Emperor's Ambition, the Basis Since Ancient Times
In fact, what Emperor Zhu was most afraid of was to talk to Confucian scholars and doctors.
His little Confucian knowledge is not enough to see.
Therefore, Emperor Zhu discussed some things in a small circle - it was not the matter itself that was discussed, but the execution!
How to carry out the emperor's will.
If the opposite is true.
Then the cabinet can only be replaced.
However, his two prime ministers are both "imperial parties", and although they sometimes oppose some of Emperor Zhu's decisions, as long as Emperor Zhu puts on a posture of resolute implementation, they will not insist on opposing them.
And those Confucian scholars who came from the Qing Dynasty did not have the backbone to dare to point at the nose of Emperor Lao Tzu in the Ming Dynasty.
So many things were passed under the strong promotion of Emperor Zhu - no wonder the emperor of the former Qing Dynasty liked to use minions so much.
After completing the decision to educate brainwashing from the doll.
Zhu Daohua and two prime ministers take a walk in the garden of the Old Summer Palace.
"Luo Xiang, do you think, after Russia, who is the next opponent of my Ming Empire?"
Luo Fangbo has wandered in the South Seas, while Gu Song has followed Zhu Daohua to Europe.
Therefore, their knowledge is relatively broad among contemporary scholars.
"Britannia! Your Majesty, Britain, the current maritime overlord, must be the greatest threat to my Ming Dynasty! ”
Luo Fangbo said without hesitation.
Now in Europe.
Tsarist Russia has the largest land force, and on the sea is Britain.
"Luo Xiang, I'm talking about an opponent, not a threat." Zhu Daohua shook his head and said, "I believe that Britain is small in its own right, with a population of less than 10 million in its core race, and although it has a powerful navy now, with the advancement of industrialization, it is difficult for such a small island country with a small population to support a larger industrial system." ”
Zhu Daohua raised his head and said.
A population of 10 million could support initial industrialization.
In the year immediately after the end of World War II, the world was still dominated by the three giants of Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union.
However, after the United States and the Soviet Union dismembered the colonial imperial system of Britain and France, Britain and France, which were small in their own country, completely went down from the table of world hegemons.
The population support needed for the next stage of the industrial system is a population of 100 million!
So in those days.
The economic giants of the capitalist world were replaced by the United States and Japan – and Japan, because it was a defeated country, had its industrial system crippled and emasculated.
Europe, on the other hand, wants to establish an European Community, and France and Germany will work together to reunify Europe, which can indeed be compared with the United States and the Soviet Union.
But there is a-stirring stick in Europe.
"In my opinion, in today's world, those who have the potential to become the opponent of the Ming Dynasty are Tsarist Russia and the United States!"
"The United States? Citigroup? ”
Gu Song and Luo Fangbo looked at each other.
What is there to worry about such a weak country that has not long been independent, suppressed by Britain, and whose capital was burned down by the army of the British Governor-General of Canada a few years ago?
"That's right, it's the United States! After the defeat of Tsarist Russia, the next one to be targeted is the United States! Before the United States expands to the west of the American continent, we must first occupy the fertile soil on the west coast of the American continent, so as to prevent the emergence of a country on the American continent with a land area comparable to that of the Ming Dynasty! ”
Zhu Daohua said.
"North America has too much rich agricultural land, many plains, oceans on both sides, and big rivers in between, which means that if a unified big country emerges here, the population potential of this country is likely to exceed that of our Ming Dynasty!"
"And they are a white country, and in the next few decades, Europe will not be peaceful, which means that they can continue to absorb European talents and funds, and this country has a lot of potential! Although they only have more than 10 million people now, they will be able to absorb tens of millions of immigrants from Europe in 30 years at most! The population may even exceed 100 million! ”
"Although our population is much larger than that of the United States, but the population is so large that our country is actually a burden, our agriculture is mainly for the food of the people, and the agriculture of the United States is to ......serve the accumulation of capital for industrial development."
"Moreover, we are an ancient country, thousands of years of history, all kinds of historical baggage are tied to our bodies, and the United States is a new country, they can travel lightly, there is no historical baggage, and North America has enough vast land to cover their internal contradictions, once they complete internal integration. That's a real deal! ”
"And there are no land powers around them, unlike us, there are big countries in the north, west, and south, and they must maintain a strong army, and the defense pressure of the United States is much smaller than ours, so they are likely to be the next stage of rapid industrialization and growth!"
Zhu Daohua sighed and said.
"So our next phase of targeting, is North America."
Zhu Daohua raised his head behind his back and said.
"We are going to build a series of collective farms along the west coast of North America, and we will divide the princes in North America to form feudal states, and in addition to this, we will oppose the expansion of the United States in North America, support the independence of Mexico, and at the same time look for opportunities to divide the United States!"
Divide America?
Gu Song and Luo Fangbo looked at each other.
Emperor Zhu was a little whimsical again.
People in the United States are good.
You say that a word of division can be divided?
Zhu Daohua stood by the lake, looking at the vast lake.
"Britain, France, Prussia, and even Spain, Austria and other countries are all small European countries, there is no need to worry, the future world will definitely be a competition between countries with vast territories and huge populations, the Ming Dynasty, the United States, Tsarist Russia, and even India have this possibility! Therefore, in my lifetime, I will mainly do three things, first: strive to develop the industry of the Ming Dynasty, second, colonize foreign countries, and transfer the surplus population of the Ming Dynasty to the outside, and third: eliminate potential opponents, that is, to dismember Tsarist Russia, divide the United States, and prevent the emergence of a unified Indian state! ”
"Only in this way will the future world be the world of China and the world of the Ming Dynasty!"
The emperor's ambitions are so big!
Luo Fangbo and Gu Song were both shocked.
None of them expected.
Emperor Zhu's ambition was so big.
But to dismember Tsarist Russia, divide the United States, and prevent the unification of India.
Except for the last one, these three things don't seem to be difficult.
The first two things are quite difficult.
The first is the dismemberment of Tsarist Russia.
The core of Tsarist Russia is thousands of miles away from Daming.
What if the Ming army crossed the Urals, what if the whole of Europe was united and stood behind Tsarist Russia?
The U.S. occupation of North America is terrible.
Isn't a united Europe terrible?
As for dividing the United States
This part of the United States is vast and sparsely populated, the land is so fertile, and the common people are also very rich.
Such a place.
How can it be messy?
The Central Plains Dynasty was all about the common people who couldn't eat.
The Americans have a lot of people and a lot of land, and they don't have to worry about food and clothing.
Can you mess up on your own when you're full?
And even if people are messed up, they will be divided?
What is the reasoning of this.
Did Emperor Zhu think too ideally?
Moreover, the United States was originally a British colony, and most of its citizens also came from Britain.
In case of chaos, Britain regained control of the United States.
Wouldn't that be more troublesome?
Emperor Zhu's dream was very beautiful.
The reality is skinny.
Europe.
Paris.
The Consulate General of the Ming Empire in Europe, Pan Youke, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Europe, is now facing pressure from diplomats from Britain, Spain, the Netherlands, Russia, Prussia, Austria and other countries.
"Mr. Ambassador, the Kingdom of Britain believes that if the army of the Ming Empire crosses the Yenisei River, it will be a provocation to the whole of Europe! We will stand behind the Russian Empire and resist the aggression of the Ming Empire together! ”
"The Ming Empire must understand that the Russian Empire is also a European country."
"We will stand with Russia!"
A group of European diplomats shouted and made threats.
Pan Youke's face was as usual, and he said: "The Ming Empire does not accept any threats, and the purpose of our war is to rescue the Buryatia Mongols and Siberian tribes oppressed by the Slavs!" ”
"As you say, the Russian Empire is a European country, so it should not be in Asia! Their state borders should stay in the Ural Mountains and east of the Ural River! ”
'It's impossible! Siberia is a sacrosanct territory of the Russian Empire! ’
Russian diplomats immediately jumped to their feet.
The border is pressed to the Ural Mountains?
Then the expansion of the Russian Empire for more than 200 years has been wasted!
"That's right! What do the Mongols have to do with your Ming Empire! ”
The Spanish diplomat asked loudly.
A smile appeared on the corner of Pan Youke's mouth: "Of course the Mongolians have something to do with my Ming Dynasty, and now all the tribal leaders of the Mongolian tribes with the blood of the Golden Family have declared themselves vassals to the Ming Dynasty and respected the Ming Emperor as the Great Khan of Mongolia!" ”
"As the Great Khan of the Mongols, there is a sufficient legal basis for my Ming Dynasty to take back the homeland of the Mongol Empire, including the lands of the Chagatai Khanate, the Ilkhanate and the Golden Horde!"
Pan Youke directly opened his mouth and declared that the Mongol Empire had been in existence since ancient times.
