Chen Lifu published several excerpts in a row advocating global localization, but the Holy Emperor stayed in the middle and did not promote it. This was a very obvious signal to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.
That is, the upper echelons of the empire, especially the Holy Emperor, are dissatisfied with the current policy of slowly advancing expansion and are preparing to accelerate it.
When the officials outside saw this scene, they all rolled up their sleeves and left. For a while, slogans advocating global localization kept flying into the palace like snowflakes.
Even the official newspaper Datang Chaobao began to advocate the concept of glocalization in its reports.
However, the public response to telling the truth was not very strong.
How should I put it? The people of the empire now don’t care much about the indigenous people, and they actually don’t care much about territorial expansion.
The empire now has enough territory. The empire's territory has spread all over the world. Now even the entire North and South America belong to the empire. It is an extremely rich continent!
These territories, let alone support the current people of the Tang Dynasty, can still support the people of the Tang Dynasty even if their population increases several times.
Therefore, expansion for survival does not exist, at least not in the short term.
So why do we need to exterminate those indigenous people?
After all, today's empire is already a global hegemon, and all the natives kneel down and call Dad Tang. If we can't control these natives, they will not bring any sense of pride to the people. Some people even feel that,
In fact, it's good to keep these natives, and at least you can hear them call daddy.
Many Diaosi from the Tang Dynasty went overseas, and they could still enjoy the feeling of being superior to others in the indigenous territory. If all the indigenous people were wiped out, where would the Diaosi from the Tang Dynasty still be able to find this sense of superiority in the future?
And many things, especially things like happiness, are based on comparison. Without the weakness of the natives, how can we set off the greatness of the Tang Dynasty?
Without the humbleness of the natives, how can we embody the superiority of the Tang people?
So, why bother wiping out the natives? The natives can’t bring any actual threat to the empire, so it’s good to leave them as mascots!
Many people in the Tang Dynasty really have this kind of mentality!
Of course, this kind of mentality does not mean that I am opposed to it, it just means that I maintain a dispensable attitude.
Anyway, according to the information now revealed, the so-called glocalization proposed by Chen Lifu is not strictly global ontology, because in many places certain areas will still be reserved to accommodate indigenous people, especially in central Africa.
, it was determined a few years ago to resettle the indigenous people.
The twelve Southeast Asian countries and the Kingdom of Denmark are now happily playing in the middle of Africa.
The expansion policy led by Chen Lifu also focused on supporting some indigenous people, supplemented by his own limited military strikes.
If you want the indigenous people you have supported to willingly relocate the people and turn the land into uninhabited land and hand it over to the Tang Empire, you have to give them some benefits and hope, right?
If they are too barbaric and are not even willing to leave a place for the indigenous people to live in, then I am afraid that those indigenous people will be better off dead than alive. At worst, they will give up the resistance, but if they refuse to leave, they may not be able to survive in the end.
Become a Tang Dynasty person...
You were also told that when the Tatars recently handed over some Eastern European territories to the Tang Dynasty, not everyone was willing to follow the Tatars to move westward. Many people actually preferred to stay there and wait for the Tang Dynasty to come and rule them.
, and finally turning yourself into a Tang Dynasty citizen is really not possible, but becoming a temporary resident is okay...
But the people of Tang Dynasty were unwilling to accept it...
The Tatars were not willing to lose a large number of people, so they moved westward with their own people.
Therefore, the world situation these days, the relationship between the indigenous people and the Tang Dynasty is very complicated.
The most interesting thing among them is that if the Tang Dynasty was willing to accept the indigenous people, those indigenous people would probably shout happily, "Long live the Holy Emperor, the Emperor's grace is great," and then become the people of the Tang Dynasty. As for resistance, reluctance, etc., there would be no such thing.
In many places bordering the Tang Dynasty, indigenous people tried to cross the blockade and enter the Tang Dynasty at all times, forcing the Tang Dynasty to establish no-man's land and military blockade zones in many places.
This is not to resist the invasion of the indigenous army, but to prevent illegal immigration...
In order to prevent illegal immigration, the Tang Empire tried every method it could think of. In addition to setting up no-man's land and blockade areas, and supporting and urging indigenous countries to strengthen border patrols and blockades, the empire began a massive border patrol many years ago.
Border wall plan.
For example, in Bangladesh, a border wall hundreds of kilometers long has been built. In the mountains in northern India, border walls have also been built in the limited mountains that can be traversed. In Central Asia, border walls have been built all the way from the Caspian Sea.
To the east, we are also preparing to build a border wall spanning thousands of kilometers.
These border walls are not city walls or the Great Wall in the traditional sense. They are relatively thin, just a relatively high wall that can accommodate people riding horses and pedestrians. In addition, there will be barbed wire to prevent climbing.
This thing basically doesn't have much military defense value, and it can't stop artillery fire, even if it's a smoothbore cannon.
The greatest value of this thing is that it is used to block illegal immigrants and facilitate Datang's border patrol team to conduct patrols...
Unfortunately, Datang has thought of many ways to stop illegal immigrants, but in fact it is difficult to completely stop the intrusion of illegal immigrants. A large number of illegal immigrants are rounded up every year.
Don't underestimate the contemporary aborigines' yearning for the Tang Dynasty. In order to blend into the Tang Dynasty, many aborigines will use various confusing methods to try to cross the border and finally enter the mainland of the Tang Dynasty.
Even the princes of the indigenous people, if possible, many of them would be willing to give up their power and become Tang people. Being a decent Tang gentry is much better than being the king of an indigenous tribe...
Even for the Tatars, their third-generation king was not so shameless that he wanted the Tang Dynasty to re-canonize him as King of Shunyi.
The current relationship between the Tang people and the indigenous people has led to many seemingly bizarre foreign policies of the Tang Dynasty.
Many times, the Tang Dynasty reprimanded neighboring indigenous kingdoms, such as the Mughal Kingdom and the Safavid Dynasty, not because of other things, but because of illegal immigration.
In the past year alone, the imperial consul in the Mughal Kingdom has come to reprimand the Mughal King twice!
Sometimes threats are even issued, requiring them to tighten control of the border.
This kind of thing would never have happened in other times or other places.
But in the contemporary Tang Dynasty, it appeared.
