Chapter 861 Japanese Civil War and Russian-Turkish War
His attitude is very clear.
In my younger days, civil strife was a good thing.
It would be best if they could knock the dog's brains out.
…
Under the operation of openly supporting the Tokugawa family, but actually secretly supporting the Tokugawa family, the level of civil strife in Japan continued to intensify.
One after another, local daimyo chose to rebel.
Even many daimyo who used to favor the Tokugawa family chose to raise a flag of opposition.
The reason is very simple, because the Tokugawa family wants to seize the power of the daimyo and take it into their own hands.
As long as you are a famous person, you cannot tolerate this matter. After all, the interests are related.
The moment the war broke out, it evolved to a very intense level.
Massive armies were fighting fiercely in the Kanto and Kansai regions.
The smoke of gunpowder spread throughout Japan.
A large number of Japanese civilians could not bear the fierce war in their homeland and chose to immigrate abroad.
Their first choice was Daming.
Although the mainland of the Ming Dynasty did not allow foreigners to immigrate, overseas territories still welcomed immigrants.
As long as the people of these vassal states of the Ming Dynasty pay an immigration fee to the Ming Dynasty, they can obtain the qualifications and ship tickets for immigration.
Go to the New World or Australia and other places to develop the local area!
Of course, only the people of the Ming Dynasty could enjoy the policy of allocating land to immigrants.
Even if the people of these vassal states immigrated, they still needed to exchange labor for land and survival resources.
But even so, a large number of people from the vassal state choose to immigrate abroad every year.
The reason is very simple. Their homeland is also very crowded. Countless people starve to death every year and freeze to death, leaving a large number of idle laborers with no work to do.
After immigrating, I dare not say more, but at least there is a high probability that they can live well and not starve to death.
Of course, what is more important is that once the people of these vassal states choose to immigrate to the New World or Australia, etc.
After they complete their immigration and pass the Chinese language test, they can obtain temporary household registration in Ming Dynasty.
After they pay a certain amount of tax every year for twenty consecutive years, this household registration can become a permanent household registration.
They are also true Ming people!
You can legally enjoy all the rights and interests of Ming people.
This alone has great appeal to many people in the vassal state.
After the decree was issued that immigrants could obtain Ming household registration, Zhu Hongyu was very surprised to find that among those vassal states, it was not just the poorest people who chose to immigrate to the New World and Australia.
There are also a large number of middle class people and even the top elites.
In order to obtain the household registration of Ming Dynasty, these people did whatever they could.
The participation of these people in immigration also greatly promoted the Ming Dynasty's development of the New World and Australia.
Now that Ming Dynasty wants to develop the New World, what they lack most is not funds, but labor force.
The Ming Dynasty needed enough cheap labor to develop, farm, and mine the New World.
Now that the Japanese Civil War has broken out, the trend of Japanese emigration has intensified.
A large number of people chose to leave Japan.
Under the general trend, Japan has no way to stop it.
…
Just as the Japanese Civil War broke out, the Second Russo-Turkish War also broke out in Europe.
Russia and Turkey are once again fighting each other in the traditional powder keg of the Balkans.
And by the way, it also dragged down the Eastern European countries.
Due to the weapon innovations brought to the world by the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, the scale of the Second Russo-Turkish War was quite large.
Both sides invested a total of 300,000 troops, thousands of large and small artillery pieces, and tens of thousands of cavalry in the Balkans.
In order to deal with the Ottoman Empire's cavalry troops, Tsarist Russia even deployed them in the east, and the cavalry used to defend against the Ming Dynasty was also transferred back.
Since Osman was an ally of the Ming Dynasty, he had established a relationship with the Ming Dynasty early, so he received a lot of advanced weapons from the Ming Dynasty, and even the presence of an officer corps.
In a short period of time, the Ottoman Empire's military strength increased significantly and suppressed Tsarist Russia.
However, with the fate of the Eastern European countries, the Ottoman Empire also began to become stretched.
The Ming Dynasty's position was indeed biased towards the Ottomans.
But in this era, thousands of miles away, Ming's stance does not play as big a role as imagined.
Because the Ming Dynasty was unable to project military power to the Balkans thousands of miles away.
And there is no tendency to end with military force. To put it bluntly, it is just talking.
As for the officer corps...
The officer corps is here to watch the excitement and gain experience. At most, it can help the commanders of the Ottoman Empire with ideas, and they will not go to the battlefield at all, okay?
It can even be said that even if the Ottoman Empire was defeated, nothing would happen to the Ming Dynasty's officer corps.
Even if Tsarist Russia captured the Ming Dynasty's officer corps, the most they could do was extort a ransom from Ming Dynasty and then send them out of the country as gifts. It was impossible to really do anything to the Ming Dynasty's officer corps.
Because if Tsarist Russia dared to do anything to Ming's officer corps, it would force Ming to die.
Ming Dynasty is indeed unable to project power to the Balkans, but Ming Dynasty can still intervene in Central Asia.
As for the arms trade...
Although the Ming Dynasty favored the Ottomans.
But when it comes to money, position doesn't matter.
The arms of the Ming Dynasty are basically sold for money, no matter who you are.
The weapons that the Ottomans could obtain could also be obtained by Tsarist Russia as long as they increased the price.
The same is true for European countries.
Want Ming’s arms?
Okay, just add money!
Therefore, after the war entered an anxious state, the early advantages gained by the Ottomans began to gradually be lost.
Especially with the entry of Eastern European countries, the number of troops gathered in the Balkans has exceeded half a million.
In order to preserve the current results, the Ottomans had no choice but to turn to the defensive and start to defend the city in order to delay the war.
Delay until the other party can no longer fight, so that peace talks can begin.
In this context, Daming seems to have played a role that basically has no sense of existence.
But the fact is that Ming Dynasty is grabbing a lot of benefits through war and using it to further promote Ming Dynasty's domestic development.
Twenty-three years after the Ming Dynasty was restored, both the Russo-Turkish War and the Japanese Civil War came to an end.
During the Russo-Turkish War, Russia and Turkey reached a peace agreement and divided the Balkans.
It seems that there is peace, but it is foreshadowing the next war.
The Japanese Civil War finally came to an end with the victory of the Tokugawa family.
Of course, thanks to Dai Ming's secret provocation, the resistance forces within Japan were not swept away, but were driven and suppressed in the northern area of Honshu Island.
Temporarily separatist!
The Tokugawa clan was unable to destroy them, and the daimyo were unable to counterattack.
As time passed, the war situation naturally became stalemate.
In the Ming Dynasty, after long preparations, Zhu Hongyu once again ordered the expansion of the scale of compulsory education.
Expanding from the provincial capital city level to the state capital level...
