In fact, Ming Dynasty now has no time to take care of North Korea at all.
After all, for Ming Dynasty, the top priority right now is Brazil.
When Russia declared war on Turkey and the French and Austro-Hungarian Empire were waiting for the opportunity to join the "earth-eating contest", Ming Dynasty also wanted to eat Brazil alive.
Brazil belongs to the Ming Dynasty!
Standing by the window, Emperor Zhu Da stared out of the window. The time was almost ripe. After turning around, Emperor Zhu Da looked at Song Zhelun. He was the former ambassador of the Ming Empire to Brazil. He had just returned to China and smoked several times in a row.
Taking a puff of cigar, he then walked back to the center of the office with his cigar between his fingers, then turned the big globe, clicked on the location of Brazil, and asked:
"Well, now we are almost about to take action against Brazil, but there is no suitable reason from the official side. What do you think?"
Song Zhelun didn't find it strange that the empire wanted to attack Brazil. After all, South America could only have one overlord, and it was only a matter of time before it declared war on Brazil.
"reason……"
After thinking about it, Song Zhelun said.
"It's very simple to find a reason. The easiest way is black slaves. Brazil has a population of 10 million, of which 4 million are black slaves. In 1870, Spain liberated all new and old slaves in Cuba and Puerto Rico. Brazil
It became the only region in the Americas that maintained the original form of slavery. Even in 1871, the Brazilian government, under pressure, promulgated the "Rio Branco Law" through Congress. It not only liberated the newborns of all slaves, but also required slave owners to
Responsible for taking care of them until they are 8 years old. After that, the slave owners can release these children to the government and receive compensation, or they can keep them as labor force until they reach the age of 21. However, in fact, this is tantamount to extending slavery again.
.This does not essentially solve the slave problem.”
After a pause, he looked at His Majesty Song Zhelun and said.
"So it is the easiest thing to enter Brazil by liberating slaves. We can encourage some slaves to flee to the Ming Dynasty, and then incite public opinion in a timely manner, and then we will have the reason..."
If you want to conquer a country, do you need a reason?
There is no need for any reason. If you really need it, then create a reason. There is nothing difficult about this. After all, there are all kinds of reasons. The only question is whether you are determined to fight.
"Freeing the slaves seems like a good choice..."
After thinking about it, Emperor Zhu shook his head again and said.
"But this is not our choice. We must liberate the slaves in Brazil, but this liberation should be real liberation without directly telling them that they are free, and then what do they have? Nothing! They have neither
They have nothing, no property, no land. Such liberation is meaningless. What is the real liberation? It is to send them back to the place where their ancestors lived, such as Africa, and wait until we occupy Brazil.
After that, we will send all the black slaves back to Africa. They were brought from Africa to the Americas as slaves by the white people. We will send them back as free people..."
This is true freedom!
Emperor Zhu Da thought silently in his heart that he always believed in the saying "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you." This was his principle. Those black slaves, whether they or their ancestors, were all forced
Those who came to the New World will now be sent back by the Ming Dynasty so that they can run and grow freely in the land of their ancestors.
Of course, they can work in Ming Dynasty's plantations. Ming Dynasty will not only give them freedom, but also give them jobs. What is real liberation? This is the real liberation.
True kindness! True act of righteousness!
"Your Majesty, after we declare war with the Brazilians, the Brazilians will most likely expand their strength by recruiting black slaves. After all, in every war, Brazil recruits a large number of slaves to join the army and promises to give them money after the war.
Freedom. If we used the excuse of liberating black slaves, we would only have to face six million whites and mulattoes. But now, we still need to face four million black slaves, and these black slaves can recruit at least one million people.
"
Song Zhelun's explanation made Emperor Zhu Da raise his eyebrows... This is a good thing!
Bullets are much cheaper than shipping costs!
Isn’t this just a case of good things coming in pairs!
Emperor Zhu Da, who almost didn't laugh out loud, quickly suppressed his inner joy and said.
"Thank you for your explanation. I will consider your opinion carefully."
What are you being cautious about?
Don’t even think about it. What is good things coming in pairs? This is not just good things coming in pairs!
After Song Zhelun left, Emperor Zhu Da took a document in front of him and browsed it again. This document was sent by the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Compared with Song Zhelun, Uncle Zhu Da's reason was very straightforward, which was... border provocation.
.
After watching carefully for a while, Emperor Zhu picked up the phone.
"Receive Qian De Gong."
The call was quickly connected, and the moment the call was connected, Emperor Zhu Da said.
"Follow your plan and execute it!"
The other end of the phone was silent for a moment, and then said.
"Your Majesty, the main force of our fleet is in Europe, and the army seems not to be ready yet. We have only three divisions in the border area."
"Well, I know."
Emperor Zhu said into the phone.
"This is what I need. It seems good to destroy the dead, but Qian Qing's family, Brazil, Argentina, and Chile are different. This is a country with 10 million people. Although their population is concentrated in coastal areas, we
This is the first time we are fighting against such a big country, so it is always right to be cautious. Moreover, we need them to fully mobilize their military power. Only in this way can we fully kill their effective forces in the war. Only in this way, we
Only then can we better digest that land!"
The simplest way to digest an occupied area is to vacate the cage and replace the birds. If the cage cannot be emptied, then put more birds in the cage, just like in Chile and Argentina now. The white man cannot make trouble in a place where white people live.
The most fundamental reason is that the population base is insufficient.
There are now 15 million Chinese in the Ming Dynasty, but what about the Europeans? There are only a little over two million in total. Now there are three million newborns in the Ming Dynasty every year, and there are two million immigrants. It will only take a few years for Europeans and mixed-race people to
They are an absolute minority among the population of Ming Dynasty.
But not in Brazil!
Even if all the black slaves are liberated and sent back to their hometowns so that they can regain their freedom, there will still be more than five million whites and mixed-race people. After the annexation of Brazil, the number of these people will exceed seven million, which is almost the population of the Ming Dynasty.
One-third of!
This is not a good thing. If you think about dealing with this problem, massacre is definitely unrealistic, so... let's deal with it on the battlefield.
War can significantly reduce the fertility rate, and it can also significantly change the population structure. For example, in Paraguay, how many Paraguayans are there in Paraguay now? Yes, they are basically all women, and most of the new generation are Mingba mixed race.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and then Emperor Zhu Da heard the answer he wanted.
