Chapter 368: Sitting on the Diaoyutai

The reason why Zhu Youxiao dared to support the expansion of the Mongolians unscrupulously was mainly because the military factory had developed drugs without smoke and medicine.&1t;/p>

What does it mean to have this thing?&1t;/p>

It means that it won't take long to get a rifle with a range of over 1,000 meters. Even a bolt-pull-type rifle can form a very terrifying combat power.&1t;/p>

Of course, this combat power is based on leading. In this era, Europeans cannot even make flints, let alone once they have a real rifle, the result will naturally be to sweep the world.&1t;/p>

However, as a civilized country, the Ming Dynasty had a bad reputation for invading everywhere! Since that's the case, it's better to just sell weapons and ask others to help the Ming Dynasty to do such dirty work.&1t;/p>

The Mongolians have no industry. No matter how much money and resources they grab, they will flow to the Ming Dynasty in trade. At the same time, no matter how much land the Mongolians occupy, once their reputation is bad, the Ming Dynasty's attack on Mongolia will be just a just act.&1t;/p>

In the future world, all ethnic groups will inevitably be exhibited, so Zhu Youxiao naturally needs to consider the reputation of the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>

But when taking into account both reputation, the existence of interests cannot be ignored.&1t;/p>

In short, people cannot go to extremes, and neither reputation nor interests can go to extreme directions, otherwise the result will be a pitfall.&1t;/p>

In addition, allowing the Mongols to expand on the Eurasian University 6 can save a lot of military expenditure. After all, if the Ming Dynasty fights everywhere, the military expenditure will also be relatively large after occupying a place. At present, the Ming Dynasty is mainly engaged in marine economy, and in fact, it is still a bit willing but not enough to expand the Eurasian area.&1t;/p>

If the territory is too large, it will cause many problems.&1t;/p>

After the Ming Dynasty's steam engine technology reached a certain level, it could expand into Central Asia and other places, becoming a neat road roller similar to later Tsarist Russia.&1t;/p>

Therefore, supporting Mongolia's expansion to the west is in the interests of the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>

At the same time, once the Mongols threaten European countries and once Europe fights everywhere, the Ming Dynasty can also sell arms to the Europeans.&1t;/p>

The Ming Dynasty could also gain benefits for the Ming Dynasty by supporting the Europeans to expand everywhere. Because the Europeans also did not start the industrial revolution in this era. The Ming Dynasty had already begun the industrial revolution. As long as a large number of commodities poured into Europe, it would be difficult for Europeans to complete the industrial revolution.&1t;/p>

After all, the Ming Dynasty is a big country, and those European countries are all big. Once a big country like the Ming Dynasty undergoes industrial revolution, it will be a big country. No matter how much money the Europeans robbed, they will also flow to the Ming Dynasty through trade.&1t;/p>

The biggest problem is trade.&1t;/p>

Whether Europeans are willing to trade with the Ming Dynasty. Faced with countries like the Ming Dynasty that carried out the industrial revolution, every sovereign country is basically unwilling to let Ming's goods go straight in, and will try every means to create some trade barriers.&1t;/p>

To implement this strategy well, the first thing to guarantee is trade.&1t;/p>

The Mongols are easier to control. They have no industrial capabilities and can only cooperate with the Ming Dynasty. Unlike the Europeans, they still have industrial existence, but they are just backward. Therefore, the prerequisite for exporting arms to the Europeans is to break their trade barriers so that they cannot complete the internal industrial revolution by plundering the outside.&1t;/p>

At this time, Europeans were colonizing the Americas, and the Ming Dynasty was also colonizing in Southeast Asia and Australia. The world is very large, and there are still a large number of undivided colonies. How to complete the colonization is a test for the Ming Dynasty next.&1t;/p>

The means cannot be too rough, but they cannot achieve the purpose of colonial plunder.&1t;/p>

As a time traveler, Zhu Youxiao has a long-term view of the problem. This vision obviously makes the ministers not very understanding. The main reason is that they do not have that deep understanding of technological changes and world changes.&1t;/p>

At this time, the Ming Dynasty's scientific and technological research model has been on the right track. Under the leadership of national power, a capital consortium has also been formed to quickly apply technology to production. Zhu Youxiao, a time traveler, guides the research route of science and technology. How many years has this been ahead of the world?&1t;/p>

A huge ambition has been born in Zhu Youxiao's mind. Then dominate the world.&1t;/p>

Barbaric conquest must not last long, and the world of hegemony also requires methods and must be maintained for a long time. If it is just a glorious overlord like ancient Rome in Europe and ancient Greece, it would be meaningless.&1t;/p>

Anyway, the Ming Dynasty is now sitting firmly on Diaoyutai and completing the industrial revolution first. It doesn’t matter what the world is in chaos. As long as it is in line with the interests of the Ming Dynasty, as long as the national strength continues to increase and technology is in the lead, it is not easy to deal with those robber gangs?&1t;/p>

Moreover, these robbers are used as messing around the world. Wouldn't this better highlight the gentleness of the Ming Dynasty's colonial methods?&1t;/p>

The most important thing is that crazy use of force has a great impact on the country and the people. Once the idea of ​​gaining nothing is crazy, the atmosphere will be damaged.&1t;/p>

To put it bluntly, wealth is still produced by creation.&1t;/p>

External plundering is possible, but the method of directly robbing money is not very desirable. Therefore, in the process of external expansion, the Ming Dynasty has never made anyone sign compensation agreements like Westerners. Only in the areas to be occupied, those relatively backward indigenous people were arrested, and then they were integrated into this civilization in the form of contract workers.&1t;/p>

The Ming Dynasty plundered those countries and races that formed civilization mainly rely on trade. For example, to North Korea, Japan, and countries on the Indochina Peninsula, they exported high-value-added goods to exchange for labor and various raw materials from those countries.   [^*]&1t;/p>

In such a plundering process, use force as little as possible without force.&1t;/p>

This time, the Ming Dynasty used force against Annan mainly because Zhu Youxiao had the intention to recover Annan. This territory had been split for too long. At the same time, it was also through this war to shock the countries on the Indochina Peninsula. It was a killing chicken to warn monkeys, or it could also be called killing monkeys to warn chickens.&1t;/p>

After Zhu Youxiao formulated a global strategy, he immediately asked the military factory to start researching new rifles and new artillery.&1t;/p>

The so-called new style is to use new fire and medicine.&1t;/p>

Zhou Fuhai, who is responsible for studying fire and drug stability, has made great breakthroughs after more than a year of research. No, the stability of fireworks has been greatly improved. Now the last problem is being solved, that is, production safety.&1t;/p>

As long as the production safety is completed, this kind of fireworks, which is much more powerful than black gunpowder, can be used in a large number of applications.&1t;/p>
