Chapter 862. Daming, challenge!

China's history is a vicious circle. Since the Han Dynasty, after experiencing a great chaotic era, it began to recuperate, then flourished, and then reached its peak. Then it began to go downhill. As the ruling gentry, the unlimited desire of land was severely annexed, and the people became increasingly unable to survive. Finally, the vigorous peasant uprising ended the entire dynasty.

After ushering in a big chaotic world again, we returned to this vicious circle. This was the case with the Han Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty's life cycle was shorter, but it was the same, and the Tang Dynasty was a little special. It was a bit special by foreign invasions, but it was also special by the Southern Song Dynasty's foreign business, which was considered a small peak in ancient times.

Even the Ming Dynasty is the case today. Although the Ming Dynasty's maritime trade seems to be very developed, the tradeable dividends have entered the cellars of aristocratic landlords and are not circulated on the market, especially the imperial government did not receive a penny of taxes in it. The Ming Dynasty, seventeen years ago, was unable to get out of the shadow of the agricultural empire.

There was one of the biggest common characteristics of so many dynasties before, which were directly and indirectly died in the peasant uprising!

In fact, this vicious circle is not difficult to explain. China is a very typical agricultural civilization. Everything is pressed on the land. The land in the world is limited. The population has expanded to a certain extent, so the land will not be divided. Those who have no land do not have the developed industrial tertiary industry to take in it, so they can only become the most unstable bomb and refugee in society! Moreover, even if land annexation is prevented, the land will still be gathered in the hands of some people at that time. The landlords can enjoy the fruits by renting out land. However, tenants and serfs who work little land and no land work all day long, but they cannot eat enough or wear warmth, and have extremely poor ability to withstand disasters. Once they encounter natural disasters and man-made disasters, they are also large-scale famine. The accumulated social problems have a sharp burst out, bombing the entire dynasty to collapse.

So when Mao Jue arrived, he decided to go out of this vicious circle. The main source of economic resources of the royal family and the government turned from farmers who seemed to be stable in drought and flood to build on the seemingly more unstable business. Mao Jue's hands were commercialized, using large-scale commercial grain to meet social needs, and then all the excess population was supplemented into industry and commerce. The benefits of doing so made the land less the only way for most people to make a living like in previous dynasties, allowing industry and commerce to create more jobs, so that even farmers without land had jobs to do, so that even farmers without land would not starve to death.

Moreover, compared to the landlord class who is content with enjoyment, selfish and selfish, and dig up the national corners of the country, the merchant group is more aggressive. They need the state machinery to open up for it, pave the way for business, and settle those guys who are not honest in business. These greedy guys are not more patriotic, but they are closer to the empire than the landlord class in terms of profitability. Letting big merchants replace the landlord class that sticks to the rules is also more conducive to the empire maintaining an aggressive and enterprising attitude.

However, the commercial empire seems to have many benefits, but it is more difficult to control than the agricultural empire. It can be seen that the British rose in history. They occupied overseas colonies with large amounts of force and had a wide territory. They claimed that the Sun never set empire. By dumping large amounts of industrial products into the colonies and plundering raw materials at a low price, they completed bloody capital accumulation. If they want to do so, they must step on the heads of other countries.

Unfortunately, Mao Jue wanted to go through this model, and Western powers also wanted to go through this model. Then there must be irreconcilable contradictions between the two sides, and they must fight until one side falls completely.

The Dutch and the Ming Dynasty had the same strategy. Sir Curt's main strategy was to support the Southern Ming Dynasty to fight against the vigorous development of the Northern Ming Dynasty, and to make the two Ming empires exhausted and scarred. On the corpses of the two, the Netherlands could feast on them. But Mao Jue thought about it almost the same, to gather Britain, which was first carried out the bourgeois revolution, and then interfere with the European continent through Britain, provoke chaos within the entire European continent, and then make profits from it.

Originally, the two sides were in the same balance mode and both had ties with each other. As a result, a wedding in Xiangyang triggered a continuous bloody chaos. With the effort, the Northern Ming Dynasty easily defeated the seemingly huge and powerful Southern Ming Dynasty. The balance policy of the Eastern Continent in the Netherlands was broken. They could only go bare-handedly and interfere with the unification of the Ming Dynasty by force. At the same time, the French took action to remove the British, the Ming Dynasty, the nail on the European continent. If Britain fell, the Ming Dynasty still did not complete the unification, and the West would win!

This is really a game of the entire earth! Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty, which was replaced by the big capitalist trust, was not intimidated as the core driving force of the country!

The first one to dispatch was the Ming Navy. Under the powerful and powerful voice of Mao Jue, the entire Northeast Asia warships began to gather southward. Recently, Hangzhou City has become lively. Every morning, the biggest interest of citizens living by the seaside is to go to the harbor to see warships, because there are newcomers every day and new ones every day.

After watching it for a long time, they have summarized their experience. The warships are darker in color, and are basically made by military shipyards of Lutun Island and Lushun. The ones are lighter in color, most of which are produced by emerging shipyards such as Denglaidao and Xuzhou Heavy Industry. Although there are technology sharing, the skills of old ship workers are there. There are more main warships in the north, and most of them are third-level, auxiliary warships in the south.

Warships of all sizes form a battle group, and start hunting all kinds of Dutch ships on the sea like wolves. If you want to support the Nanming and Beiming confrontation, you must have a ship that can dock, right?

However, in the army, the Ming Dynasty was slower. After all, the cannon was fired, and Guangdong and Guangxi were still easy to deal with. When they advanced to Guizhou and Yunnan, the roads were rugged, the mountains were high and the roads were far away, and the people were strong. In history, Li Dingguo could have fought against hundreds of thousands of troops in the Qingting for more than ten years with a lonely army. If Myanmar had not betrayed the Ming Dynasty, Li Dingguo, who had no hope, died of illness in despair, the war might have been delayed.

To pacify the southwest, all we need to fight is a protracted war of attrition. If you want to do it well, you must first sharpen your weapons. The most proud army in the Ming Dynasty in the past only advanced to the border between Jiangxi and Fujian this time. The Xuzhou Army increased its troops to Huguang to eight corps, and first maintained the front line with Jiangxi.

The most active at this time was the army under the Ministry of Works, the railway troops! The court's orders were snowflakes to various steel mines in Liaodong. The formed railway steel was transported to the south through the Xulei Railway. Then, starting from Nanjing, more than 100,000 railway troops were facing the wet and coldness of magic attacks in the south. They rolled up their arms and sleeves and carried the railway tracks to the south. The Ministry of Works planned to complete the construction of two railways around the coastline in one and a half years. During this period, the Ministry of War only needed to supervise the army to harvest the flat plains of Guangdong, Guangxi, Jiangxi, Jiangxi, and other difficult and dangerous places in Kuidong. After the railway is repaired, the energy sources of artillery bullets will continue to be delivered to the front line. It will not be too late to do it again!

At the same time, the Ming Dynasty was also preparing to increase its troops to the colonies of the three islands of Luzon. When the railway was built to Fuzhou, land supplies could be transported to Fuzhou on a large scale, and then transported to Manila through Fuzhou, it was when the Dutch attacked the base camp of Batavia in the East Indies.

After this plan, in three years, the Ming Empire was enough to complete unification and completely drive Western forces out of Southeast Asia. However, the only difficulty in planning now is how to help the British ally far away on the other side of the earth.

There is really a big difference between having such a 25-child and no. The small European countries don’t look big. If you really want to hold a group, your combat effectiveness is still very strong. The West has the foundation for tying together. After all, everyone believes in God, and there is no precedent in history. The Crusaders are the masterpiece of Western grouping together. But if there are British people as the Western spokesperson of the Ming Dynasty, the situation will be much better. For example, if France wants to go against the Ming Dynasty, the British people can go to Nordic Europe for a walk. Everyone is a Protestant country. If the Frenchman, the Catholic, becomes bigger, we will not have a good life!

There is also the Netherlands. If you want to go to the East to compete for territory with the Ming Dynasty, as soon as his fleet left, the British fleet could directly raid his home. The house was gone, how could you make a fortune?

However, in the East, the Ming Dynasty fought at home, and in the West, it was the home court. It was really difficult to make the British and the emerging bourgeoisie, including the royal party, resist the powerful enemy outside the Frenchman outside!

A big map was hung in the office, and Mao Jue's eyes finally fell on the New World. Looking at the vast American continent, he shook his head helplessly.

"I actually have to rely on that bastard boy!"

It is too difficult to take the Eastern route to military assistance to the United Kingdom. The fleet has to bypass the hostile Mughal territorial waters of the Indian Ocean. The route from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean has not been developed yet. It can only bypass the violent cape of good hope, bypass Europe among the traditional Spanish forces, and then through France's sphere of influence, and finally arrive in the United Kingdom. When a large fleet of 50,000 people arrives in the United Kingdom, there will be 5,000 left, which is all the blessing of Mazu!

The most reliable one is the Pacific route. By following the Bering Sea and Alaska routes that have been opened, heading south along the American continent, seizing the Central and American isthmus in the hands of the Spanish, opening up the Panama Canal, driving the fleet from the Pacific into the Atlantic Ocean, then replenishing supplies in the thirteen British colonies, and finally arriving at the British mainland. In this way, the risk factor will drop by 70% to 80%.

The question is, can that kid do such an important part of such a grand plan?

"Otherwise, I will set out immediately and take over the governor's authority in the New World Colony of North America?"

Seeing Mao Jue worried, Adrena couldn't help but ask.

After biting the pen, he really thought about it for a few seconds, but Mao Jue shook his head heavily.

"Forget it, Ana, you'd better go to Zhoushan to train and reorganize the Dashun Army under Liu Zongmin. I believe that bastard boy!"

Mao Xingjian, who was probably still stubbornly slapping in the New World, never thought that behind him, the emperor's father who disliked him everywhere gave him such great hope.

However, Mao Jue had just shown the momentum and mind of an emperor of the ages. When he turned around, he turned into a stingy little man holding revenge. Looking at the other end, Luo Yu was also nervously sorting out the information from Zhongnan and preparing to go to Zhongnan to fight against the Dongyu Burmese who had joined the Dutch. Mao Jue suddenly asked gritted his teeth.

"By the way, how is that bastard Luo Zhen?"

"Chu Tian is dealing with it. Your Majesty. Don't worry, on the day I go south, everything your Majesty wants will be displayed to Your Majesty."

Without even raising his head, Luo Yu answered calmly.

He had no idea that Mao Jue had an angry and hatred pupil and was still staring at him behind his back. During this period, Luo Zhen had a very good life and was very happy.

It hurts the muscles for a hundred days, but with the warm and nourishing various precious medicinal materials at all costs, Luo Zhen can hold a pen again in his right hand in just over a month. Literary, you can be suffocated if you don’t show off. On this day, a few pretty little girls were serving wine next to him, holding a beautiful girl in his arms, holding a big brush, Luo Zhen was writing excitedly in the yard. He had to admit that although this kid was a scumbag, he still had some talent, and a picture of mountains, rivers, clouds and mist was radiant in his pen.

But as the last few strokes were about to be finished, a servant suddenly shouted in a hurry in the yard.

"Young master, the young lady is back!"

He hurriedly pushed the little girl in her arms away from her red face, and gestured at a group of girls like a fly. Then Luo Zhen looked so handsome and painted on the scroll again. After a while, he was still not satisfied and then he breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around and showed a "surprise" expression and said excitedly.

"Tian'er, you're back! Just in time, come and see my new work!"

As he expected, there was a slight sweat on the tip of his nose. Chu Tian, ​​who was full of energy, walked here excitedly with his words, looking at the long scroll. After a long time, she was extremely applauded, with admiration in her eyes, and turned around excitedly.

"The painting shows the spirit of a person, the picture is majestic and majestic, and the young master is really a dragon and phoenix among people, and a great fortune!"
