I’m so reluctant to buy this book!
Even as the party taking advantage, Zhu Xianhai had to admire the British's ruthlessness when he thought that the British had made such a huge effort just to let the United States and Brazil contain him and put the Ming Dynasty into the predicament of a two-sided war!
The British were not only cruel to their enemies, they were also very cruel to themselves. In order to support the daimyo to death, they did not hesitate to dig out such a large piece of flesh from themselves.
Don't they know how distressed they are?
"If you don't want to let go of your children, you won't be able to ensnare the wolf!"
Sighing at the fierceness of the British, Zhu Xianhai said.
"The British have invested so much money, and we can't live up to their kindness!"
"What?"
Zhu Guozhong is a little confused. Even now he has given himself a very cool Chinese name and is the best among his uncles. But in many cases, he still can't understand the way Chinese people speak.
"What I mean is that if the British are not allowed to get what they want, they will definitely feel that they are at a disadvantage. In that case, let's let them get what they want!"
"What?"
"What your Majesty means is that you can't avoid the confrontation with the United States. Since you can't avoid it, then just go ahead and have fun. Anyway, the strength of the United States is not worth mentioning!"
Zuo Zongtang said with a smile.
As the prime minister of the empire, Zuo Zongtang undoubtedly created a history - after Hu Weiyong, he was the second prime minister of the Ming Dynasty. As the prime minister of the empire, he was undoubtedly extremely qualified. Since his return from Europe, he has been Zhu Xianhai's right-hand man.
It was also under his management that Zhu Xianhai was able to leave many complicated political affairs behind him.
"The current United States cannot pose a substantial threat to us at all. Millions of American troops were disbanded with the end of the civil war. Their naval warships were either scrapped or sold. Currently, American naval officers are ashamed to see officers from small South American countries.
, because the navies of those small countries are stronger and more modern than those of the United States. Even until now, the United States has no plan to build a navy. In general, neither the United States in the North nor the Confederate States in the South maintain a navy.
The standing army plan and its military strength will not pose much of a threat to us."
A divided America!
This is exactly the reward for being involved in this war. No, there is also the early industrialization of Nanhua. Thanks to the South buying hundreds of millions of dollars of weapons and supplies with cotton and gold coins, how could the industrialization of Nanhua have progressed otherwise?
So smooth?
It’s simply a blessing from God!
Although he was proud, Zhu Xianhai did not get carried away, but shook his head and said.
"Don't underestimate the war potential of the United States. Since they were able to mobilize an army of millions of people during the Civil War, if a war breaks out between us, they will definitely be able to mobilize an army of the same size. If the United States had not shown
With such war potential, how could the British invest so much money in us? We still need to be wary of the United States."
"What your Majesty said is true. I am a little arrogant."
After waving his hand, Zhu Xianhai reminded.
"Underestimating our opponents is a mistake that many people make. We must see one thing - the United States has a population of 25 million, and we only have 6 million. Therefore, the core of fighting the United States is population!"
Smoking a cigar, Zhu Xianhai thought for a while and then said.
"There are hundreds of millions of hectares of arable land in the southern provinces of the Ming Dynasty and the Beihai Governor-General. What we need is people! So in the next ten years, we will increase the number of immigrants as much as possible,"
Only immigration can fundamentally solve the problem.
"By the way, Prime Minister Zuo, how many immigrants moved to Ming Dynasty last year?"
"Back to Your Majesty, 713,500 immigrants boarded ships from Haizhou last year, 224,000 people boarded ships in Ningbo, and another 312,000 people boarded ships at various ports on the Yangtze River, of which 1.03 million people finally landed in Nanhua.
Another 200,000 people were resettled in colonies such as the Success Islands and Africa along the way."
The Chenggong Islands are islands located on the south side of the equator northeast of New Guinea. In another world, they are called the "Bismarck Islands". Five years ago, Nanhua announced its occupation of the islands in order to protect the Pacific route and named it "Zheng Chenggong".
From then on, the Chenggong Islands became South China's most important stronghold in the Pacific.
"One million..."
Zhu Xianhai nodded. Thanks to the "high-density immigration ship" characteristic of Ming Dynasty, Ming Dynasty is absolutely unique in terms of the efficiency of immigration transportation. In just one year, the population increased by 20%. This efficiency is absolutely
amazing.
But, this is not the limit!
"One million is still too few. You know, there are 30 million compatriots in China? How about we have to work hard and strive to immigrate 30 million people here within ten years! We need to strengthen cooperation with Li, Zeng and others
Don’t be afraid of spending money! No matter how much money you spend on the population, it is still worth it. Moreover, we will not suffer from economic losses. We use machinery and weapons to trade with them. We spend a tael of silver.
At least I can earn back three or four taels of silver."
What is the Westernization Movement?
To put it bluntly, it is a money-smashing sport!
How much did the Qing Dynasty's Westernization Movement cost in total, from purchasing foreign guns and cannons to setting up factories? No less than two to three hundred million taels of silver, what could be exchanged for it?
It doesn’t matter what is exchanged for. The important thing is that the money cannot be earned by outsiders. Why did Zhu Xianhai exchange "silver" for someone in the first place? It was just to take the opportunity to promote Nanhua's products. In the past few years, the Qing Dynasty's
The railways used Nanhua rails, the trains used Nanhua locomotives, the soldiers used Nanhua, and the foreign cloth also used Nanhua cloth.
If we don't grasp such a good dumping market, how can we be worthy of God?
Take last year as an example, Nanhua seemed to have given them supplies worth more than 2 million taels. Tianguo and Zeng Li purchased no less than 5 million taels of supplies from Nanhua. Together with the sales of private goods, it has already exceeded tens of millions of taels.
.
Such a small transaction would be exchanged for an extremely huge market. As long as we seize this market, it will be very difficult for the Ming Empire to rise or not.
"Your Majesty, our exports to various parts of China are now close to saturation, and there has been no war between the Kingdom of Heaven and them for more than a year. If there is no war, it will be difficult to sell things!"
Zuo Zongtang said a little helplessly.
"Isn't that simple? Just help them start a war!"
Zhu Guozhong, the uncle who had been silent until now, was smoking a cigar and said proudly.
"The suspension of the war must be due to the stalemate on the front line. As long as there are weapons that can break the stalemate, they will definitely fight again."
Since there is no war, then create a war. This is the professional quality of an arms dealer!
"It's not as simple as you think!"
Zhu Xianhai shook his head and said,
"For Li and Zeng, the existence of the Kingdom of Heaven is a beneficial and harmless thing. For the two kings Li and Chen who hold the power of the Kingdom of Heaven, the existence of Li Zeng is also a good thing. They are all trying to lead the enemy to respect themselves!"
Leading the enemy with self-respect... This is the helplessness of powerful ministers!
Even when birds are gone, bows are hidden, they still have a hand for each other!
"However, even so, they will definitely worry about the other party breaking the balance. Talent is the key. They have people, our machinery, and factories. As long as they are willing to hand over their people to us, we can sell them everything, from airships to warships.
, it’s all fine, they are all industrial products anyway, if we don’t sell them, others will, but the key is people!”
With a long sigh, Zhu Xianhai said.
"With people, we can gain a foothold on the American continent and break the secret game deliberately played by the British! Let them know what it means to shoot oneself in the foot!"
Zhu Xianhai didn't know whether the British had finished moving the stones from the British Isles, but he was confident enough to let them hit him. If they did it a few more times, the British might really run out of stones at Stonehenge.
Thinking of this, Zhu Xianhai couldn't help but feel full of sympathy for the British. The British were plotting everything there, and even poached their own flesh to support the Ming Dynasty, but in reality?
They are just wishful thinking! Today's daimyo and Britain are like two game players. When the British are planning everything painstakingly, they unfortunately don't know that Ming Dynasty has a God's perspective.
Not only have they seen through their conspiracy, but their hearts, livers, spleens, lungs and kidneys have also been seen through. All that is needed now is to follow their ideas and play two games with them.
Since they are willing to move rocks, if they don't let them hit their feet, how can they be worthy of the piece of fat they dig out of their bodies?
The Americans have been salivating over the fat piece of British Columbia for decades, but what happened in the end? They got nothing, but it was an unexpected gain for Ming Dynasty.
"Then there are Americans. There are many Americans over there in the North Sea. Our attitude towards them is the same attitude - how Americans treat us, how we treat them! It's to treat them the same way as they did!"
When he said these words, Zhu Xianhai's face was filled with only deep ridicule.
"In a word, how do Americans treat our people in California? We treat their people in the North Sea! Fair, this is fair!"
