Why did Zhao Xin try his best to come up with such a theory?

To put it in a smaller way, it is to open a hole in North America from a legal perspective, occupy California, and lay the foundation for future control of Louisiana; to put it in a larger way, it is directly related to the national geostrategy after the completion of the Unification War.

From his footing in the northeast, seizing the Hokkien land, dividing the island countries, to seizing Siberia, establishing the Cossack emirates, and then intervening in Annan, driving away the Dutch and teaching the British a lesson; to his demarcation of boundaries with the Li Dynasty, taking back the six towns of Tumenjiang, forcing the Qing Dynasty to seize Gurkha, allowing Liu Sheng and Fan Tong to go west to the Pamir Mountains, allowing Ruqi to occupy Kinmen and even planning Alaska, all are part of the geostrategic goals.

Chen Danran in the late Qing Dynasty said that those who do not plan for the overall situation are not enough to plan a territory; those who do not plan for the whole world are not enough to plan for the moment.

In ancient China, there was also a geopolitical strategy, which was divided into nine squads based on "hou, dian, male, Cai, Wei, barbarian, Yi, Zhen, and vassal". However, the ancients had limited control capabilities, so they divided them with the standard of 500 miles, forming a geopolitical territory of the emperor-the world-China-the four barbarians. They were 4,500 miles from east to west, south and north, and the area was not small, with more than 5 million square kilometers, and the Western Han Dynasty had only 6 million.

Since the Tang Dynasty, the central government's ability to control the border has improved, which has more than doubled its territory. However, the Western Regions have always been unstable and repeated gains and losses. Until the Qing Dynasty, after the three armies of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong, it was finally possible that the east of the Pamir Mountains was firmly controlled.

So the question is, where will the Northern Navy eventually stop when the expedition and confrontation? In other words, where is the geographical boundary line for the regime to implement effective control in the future? It is definitely unrealistic to drive the British East India Company out of India. So where is the most advantageous position for the power of both sides?

With the beginning of the first industrial revolution, the concept of "world island" is gradually becoming a reality, and the Eurasian continent, which is at the core of the world island, will surely become the focus of the struggle for power among all parties.

From the Volga River to the estuary of the Yangtze River, from the Himalayas to Siberia, this vast area is the heart of the world. Whoever controls the heartland can control the Eurasian continent and then dominate the world.

In addition, from the perspective of sea power, controlling the heartland is not enough, and controlling the coastal areas surrounding the heartland is also a top priority.

So in order to achieve the geostrategic goals of land and sea rights, how many troops should the North Navy be allocated and how many ships should it be? How many troop stations, horse farms, material warehouses should be set up on the transportation line, and how many telegram relay stations should be established? In terms of civil affairs, how many people should immigrate to the border areas and how much land should each be allocated?

It’s not that telegrams can manage the whole world. Transportation is also an important factor that restricts the effectiveness of rule. Although the colonial empires occupied the Americas and Africa’s large areas of land, they can effectively control coastal areas with convenient water and land transportation. Do you want the Spaniards to try Nevada in the 18th century? It’s not reachable at all.

Even in China, a Sichuan-Tibet highway, even in an era when fighting against the sky and earth, was not afraid of sacrifice, 110,000 people had been built for eight years and more than 3,000 people were sacrificed.

All this is not only for the purpose of territorial territory, but also an important part of future national interests.

Another master of international relations theory in time and space, Hans Morgansso, has clearly defined the concept of "national interests", which includes three parts, namely territorial integrity, national sovereignty and cultural integrity. Among these three aspects, the most essential problem is survival, and the rest are secondary.

Zhao Xin has always said that the "war of civilization" that the time travelers say is simply a war of survival. By seizing a wider territory and obtaining more resources, the survival and development needs of hundreds of millions of countries with large populations can be met.

The biggest feeling that Kong Shaoan has in Jiaodong over the years is that except for the villages, there are almost no trees in the wilderness areas outside the village, and grains are planted in all corners.

The land power in the pass, especially in the grain-producing provinces, has been exhausted, but even so, a regional natural disaster can lead to famine and even people can eat people.

If a country wants to survive, it not only needs to discuss wins and losses on the battlefield, but cultural theory is also very important. Many people, including Jiang Fan, have said privately that Zhao Xin was deeply influenced by Xunzi's theory, and his actions all demonstrated four words - the parallelism of kings and dominance.

The kingly way is slogans and theories, and domineering is fists. However, Zhao Xin’s current approach is to swing his fists first and then shout slogans.

Japan, Tsarist Russia, Li Chao, Annan, Dutch East India Company, and British East India Company, he did this, and his methods were getting worse and worse. The problem is that he can still do this now, what will happen after the War of Unification is completed?

The strategy of land and sea power is mainly aimed at Britain. As for North America, it is to make it difficult for the United States to rise; without the vast Midwest, there will be no large domestic market and sufficient resources for achieving comprehensive industrialization.

Speaking of which, the earth is so big. Judging from the historical experience of another time and space, the comprehensive industrialization of Europe and the United States alone consumes most of the earth's resources, and excessive damage to the environment has forced it to transfer manufacturing. If other small and medium-sized countries also enter full industrialization, there will be no enough resources on the earth.

So in the late 1980s in another time and space, Americans took the lead in creating the Washington Consensus, which was the core of which was to control Latin American countries through various economic liberalization and financial means, become their economic vassals, and prevent their industrialization.

Of course, at the beginning, Zhao Xin did not think so long. His various behaviors of hammering and sticking around were for gold on the one hand, and on the other hand, he vented the resentment of "a century of shame" in another time and space. However, as time went by and the scope of his rule expanded, his mentality and worldview also transitioned from a small boss to a regime leader, and his way of thinking about problems also changed from random to rational.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Especially when Beihai Town seized Java and expanded its territory to more than 17 million square kilometers, Zhao Xin began to worry about gains and losses, and almost suffered from insomnia.

In desperation, he could only find a solution from books and materials.

As he read more and more books and thoughts became more and more in-depth, Zhao Xin gradually realized that Confucian culture based on the small peasant economy and pursued the "path of loyalty and forgiveness" could not provide theoretical nutrients for this geostrategic idea of ​​competing for resources and territory, nor could it convince the intellectual class and ordinary people to support foreign policy measures.

It is not that Confucian culture is bad, but that loyalty and forgiveness in the "way of loyalty and forgiveness" are mutually explanatory; the former is to emphasize oneself to others, while the latter is to do to others what one does not want others to do to others. There is no problem with internal governance, but external expansion is not applicable.

It’s okay to say that the Chinese immigrated since the Song and Yuan dynasties, and the Chinese in West Java and Borneo together had hundreds of thousands, but North America had no precedent. If you want to turn them into summer in the New World, you must first have large-scale immigration. However, the Chinese people are typical of "unable to leave their hometown". If you can get half full in your hometown, no one wants to move.

Several major immigration in history were either spontaneous behaviors caused by wars and natural disasters, or coercive measures taken to restore the economy after wars. It is easy to say, but it is very difficult to actually operate, and it requires huge national resources to achieve it.

You can't send all the bannermen over. If these guys make a North American Qing Dynasty one day, that's a headache!

So after thinking about it, Zhao Xin could only create the "blood relationship theory", licked his face and forced the relationship between the Miwauker and Manchu as a theoretical tool for his own occupation of North America, and used this theory to serve geostrategic goals.

Just last night, he roughly explained his thoughts to Ruchi, hoping that the other party would understand his ideas, and then to see if there were any omissions.

However, his theory is of little significance to Ruqi. Who said that ancient China did not have the guiding ideology of expanding its territory? Isn’t it the king’s land under the world? It’s so domineering enough!

If I had just come to this time and space, Zhao Xin felt that it should be like this. But after learning Confucian classics systematically with Wang Zhong over the years, I realized that it was not the case.

He told Ruqi laughed and cried that although many emperors of all dynasties were doing the work of expanding territory, no one dared to use this sentence as a slogan.

"...Not to mention the scholars who had just recruited under his command, even scholars under the Qing Dynasty would sneer, and even all East Asian countries influenced by Confucian culture would not recognize us, or even laugh at us privately."

"It's so serious? It's not that?" Ruqi disagreed.

There was no way, Zhao Xin could only patiently explain from the beginning: "This sentence comes from the Beishan Mountain in the Book of Songs. The original text is under the sky. Is it the king's land? The shores of the earth are the king's ministers. The doctors are uneven, and I am engaged in the only wise. You just remember the first sixteen words, but the eight words behind cannot be ignored!"

"What does it mean?"

"Ruqi, the meaning of this passage is not the kind of bold words you think, but an ancient social animal complaining about the unfair assignment of jobs by the boss. Translated into vernacular, it means that the whole company belongs to the boss. As a result, the boss doesn't worry and is always romantic and happy every day, making me a worker busy every day, and I don't even have time to go home to take care of my parents."

Ruqi said in shame: "Damn it, no..."

Zhao Xin retorted: "Why isn't it? Go and see how it is explained in "Mencius. Wanzhang". If you understand it, it will become mine in all the companies in the world, regardless of whether the other party is larger than me. All the bosses work for me. Although I don't pay my salary, as long as I don't listen to me, I will deal with you. Do you think a copycat machine workshop company in Huaqiangbei can manage Apple? From another perspective, can Apple manage Google?"

"Look back and I'll go through the book." Ruqi was puzzled.

"Later in the Northern Song Dynasty, someone extended the meaning of this sentence and advised Emperor Renzong of Song to regard the world as his family, the emperor was selfless, and private affairs were also official. If you say it, haha, it would become the selfless wealth of the people, and they all belong to the emperor. Which emperor dared to say this? Even the Qing emperor dared not rob it clearly. The "Qing Laws" clearly stipulate the protection of private ownership of land."

"You are wrong about this! The Qing Dynasty can search houses, and the bannermen can still grab land!"

"That's just that I just entered the pass in the early Qing Dynasty. The robbers' nature was aroused. When I settled down, I would encircle land and then destroy myself. Who pays taxes? Besides, there must be a crime to confiscate the houses. You can't confiscate all the property of the people in one state and one county.

As far as I know, the only one in the Qing Dynasty who dared to blatantly take the people's private wealth for themselves was Hong Xiuquan, the pseudo-Emperor. After the Taiping Army entered Nanjing, it issued a decree, not only the people's arable land belonged to him, but also to his output, and he distributed more than 100 kilograms of grain to the people every year. The shops and shops in and outside the city belonged to him, and they had to pay the money they made in business and business, and they were not allowed to keep a penny. Whoever dared not pay it would be a demon.

So you understand why I had to create a theory instead of finding theoretical support from traditional culture? There is no such thing as a blatant robbery of the whole world in Chinese culture. If so, do you think Zhu Di would let it go? He could make people go to the sea entrance of Heilongjiang to establish a reputation, and also allow Zheng He to grab territory in Southeast Asia."

"So, according to you, why did Zhu Di ask someone to go to the entrance of Heilongjiang to establish a reputation?"

"I told you in vain. That was the Marshal's Mansion of the Yuan Dynasty! Ming Chengyuanxu, of course, he had to accept all the territory. Otherwise, why did he do the Northern Expeditions repeatedly?"

Luqi suddenly realized that he had regarded as a standard before, but he actually ate a monkey with a trick.

Speaking of this, Zhao Xin couldn't help but sigh: "In our era, we were talking about promoting Chinese studies every day, but we still believed in the Western style. Hanfu was dressed in colorful clothes, but Chinese studies? Humph~~ Have you seen a few people who sat down to read the complete Four Books and Five Classics? I'm afraid that all the articles in the middle school textbooks have been forgotten!"

Ruqi was speechless. What could he say? He was the best example. So he made up his mind secretly and planned to take an hour every day to study the Four Books and Five Classics from tomorrow... Forget it, it would be half an hour. Read it before going to bed, and the hypnosis effect is good.

So you know why this guy only memorizes ten words every day, right?

Back to the negotiation scene with the Spaniards.

Since the Spanish colonists have always looked down on the culture of the Indian indigenous peoples and have been deliberately trying to let them accept Catholic ideas through baptism and achieve mental control, so that they can be enslaved by themselves, they have no idea how to refute the "blood-related expatriate theory" thrown by Zhao Xin for a while.

Faced with this situation, Archbishop Peralta decisively decided to temporarily shelve the right to claim the ownership of the Kinmen area from the Chinese, and instead discuss the return and compensation of prisoners of war.

Zhao Xin said it was okay to release the prisoners, but the two thousand people were locked up for so long, and you have to pay the daily meal. After all, the food of any family is not falling from the sky, so it is calculated based on five Spanish silver coins per person per day. As for the General Denava, who lives in a private courtyard, all food and daily necessities are high standards, and fifty silver coins a day are not too much. If the above amount is inconvenient to pay, it is also possible to convert it with grain.

Is it inconvenient to give money? Haha~~The Spanish delegation was secretly happy when they heard this. You should know that the province is short of money without any money, isn’t it just a bunch of silver?

In fact, as long as Beihai Town does not attack Baja California, the Spanish province will not be anxious, because Mexico in this era had the highest-producing silver mine in the world. Some silver is the only thing that is to be transported out.

In 1521, not long after the establishment of the Governor of New Spain, the Spanish discovered huge amounts of silver deposits in Zacatecas and Guanajuato, Mexico. This mining lasted for more than two hundred years. In particular, the Proano silver mine in Zacatecas, which is known as the second largest silver mine in the world.

What? What is the largest silver mine? Queensland in eastern Australia has a reserve of 23,000 tons.

The provinces and the military were eager to understand the Chinese's military strength from prisoners of war, so when Zhao Xin spoke up, the Archbishop agreed without thinking. Even the clerk sent by the governor only frowned slightly after calculating the amount to be paid. However, the clerk had already made up his mind that he would rather give hundreds of thousands of silver coins than give the Chinese a grain of food.

It was noon soon. After the two sides talked about the prisoners of war, it had passed a little. Zhao Xin, the absolute main force, spent a whole morning spitting, and was exhausted, and he couldn't bear it anymore, so he suggested that he continue to talk after dinner and explained that lunch had been prepared here at the base.

The Spanish delegation did not want to waste time, so they quickly finished the talk and took everyone back. However, none of them expected that just had lunch, and unexpected situations happened again.
Chapter completed!
