Chapter 648 The next strategy of the Ming Dynasty Central Empire
"The matter of relocation of the great clans is currently going smoothly. Indian Governor Zhang Tongchang reported that due to the relocation of the great clans, the proportion of Han people in the Indian area that our Ming Dynasty has already occupied is expected to increase to 60% within three years."
Liu Hongxun reported to Zhu Youxiao.
"This will be more conducive to promoting local Chineseization. Perhaps after years, it will completely become a place of China."
Wen Tiren said with a smile.
"It also has the foundation to completely destroy the Mughals and the states of India!"
"Before, the two places sent to India were sent, but they expanded outward and eroded step by step with Goa and Zhenghe City as the center points. The process was not very fast. In the future, young and strong Han people could be drawn to the local area to fight a more comprehensive war against the Mughals!"
Lu Xiangsheng replied.
"Minister resources such as coal, oil, iron ore, and a larger market are still what the court needs most at the moment!"
"But it is not enough to rely solely on the imperial court to organize various official industries to expand externally! More people or forces are needed to participate!"
Just like His Majesty, who had allowed Confucian countries such as Japan and North Korea to participate in global expansion, in order to accelerate the plunder of global resources, can the independent Ming vassal states outside allow expansion or even support their expansion?"
Sun Chuanting, who has always paid attention to strategy, suddenly boldly made a suggestion.
"Support the expansion of the feudal states?"
After hearing this, Liu Hongxun was quite shocked, looked at Zhu Youxiao and asked, "What if this is what to do if the vassal states are bigger?"
"This minister has considered it!"
"In fact, before our Ming Dynasty cared about overseas places, the states in these places were also expanding freely!"
"Even now, because the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, the court cannot stop their expansion. After all, the Ming Dynasty is too large, and it is not enough to manage domestic affairs just because it is not enough, let alone external affairs!"
"So, it's better to go with it and support a country like our civilization to embark on the road to expansion."
Sun Chuanting said excitedly.
"Inappropriate! Once the vassal state becomes bigger, it will seek independence and then threaten the central court!"
Wen Tiren replied.
"But the Ming Dynasty is too large and the management cost is too high, so it is difficult to extract enough power, which will damage the benefits of the world and increase the wealth of our Ming people! In addition, we do not have enough power to prevent overseas vassal states from becoming bigger!"
Sun Chuanting said.
"In the beginning, in order to save military expenditure and expand the commercial market, I would rather use the wealth of the powerful than affect the people, so when competing with Western colonists for global interests, I allowed North Korea, Japan, Ryukyu and other forces to divide the global interests with the Ming Dynasty, and also supported the royal family and powerful people to establish a country overseas! Now, it has created a situation of many Han countries overseas."
Zhu Youxiao said at this time and said, "And the problem facing us now is still whether we want civilized unity or to ensure the prosperity of the local sects and sects?"
"Of course, we need both the unity of civilization and the prosperity of the local sects! Moreover, from the perspective of ministers, these two are not contradictory!"
Sun Chuanting replied.
"How can I see it?"
Liu Hongxun asked hurriedly.
"Because we support the expansion of the vassal states, we are helping our Han civilization expansion plan of the Central Empire of the Ming Dynasty, which is conducive to the unification of civilization!"
"In this process, our Central Empire of the Ming Dynasty will continuously obtain their raw materials or roughly processed goods from these vassal states because of its technological advantages and national strength advantages, and then process them and sell them! Then earn more wealth from them!"
"In this way, the central empire can feed back its people with more wealth, continue to strengthen transportation construction, water conservancy construction, public health construction, and education construction, further reduce the frequency of disasters, provide people's quality, and enhance local national strength."
"If the Ming Dynasty really wants to perish in the future, it is definitely not because of the strong external vassals, but because of the collapse of internal finances and insufficient income. This requires more wealth to rebel against the local area, so the two are not contradictory!"
Sun Chuanting talked happily.
"That's true!"
"But even if we support the foreign expansion of the feudal states, we must have more specific requirements:"
"First of all, civilized vassal states must not fight against each other, especially those enfeoffed by the imperial court!"
"Secondly, Your Majesty, North Korea, Japan, Ryukyu, and Annan need to be further transformed, and it is even better to destroy it directly and incorporate it into Middle-earth!"
"These places are, firstly, very close to Middle Earth, and if they become bigger, they will be very harmful!"
"Secondly, there are independent ideas in these places, especially Japan, and there are their own emperors. There are still many literati and officials in their country who are planning to return power to the emperor and overthrow the shogunate! Some daimyos also want to be more independent and free because they are unwilling to be a vassal of our Ming Dynasty, so they also hope that Japan can be independent!"
Lu Xiangsheng replied.
"This is very true!"
"The Japanese pirates are actually pirates, just like poisonous snakes. Although they can be used, they cannot completely let go. They need to completely destroy their country, transform their country, and completely lose their poisonous fangs!"
Zhu Youxiao nodded.
"But this has to be discussed in the long run. There are not enough Confucian countries now, especially those with more national strength like North Korea and Japan, which are still very useful. Therefore, even if they want to be destroyed, they have to take it step by step and eat it up step by step! Before there are no more local royal family members and nobles who have emerged and become stronger, it is not advisable to change their faces directly."
Wen Tiren said at this time.
"On the Senate Yuan, we will first establish a strategy for annexing North Korea, Japan and other countries! The Hanlin Academy and the Rifan Temple also need to set up more research on the topics that will help destroy these countries, but keep it confidential!"
Zhu Youxiao said, "I think it is feasible for Sun Aiqing's proposal to support the expansion of the vassal states by local royal family members. I will propose a corresponding strategy to join forces with the Lifan Temple to draw up a corresponding strategy. Just wait for these Han vassal states to increase to a sufficient number and strength, and then completely annex Korea, Japan and other countries! As for the future of the vassal states, let's wait for the kings of future generations to deal with it. This generation can only do the work of one generation, and I can't think of a perfect system that benefits future generations!"
"That's exactly what it means!"
"I believe that the system cannot be left as a good rule for all generations! This period of time is suitable, but it may not be suitable after a hundred years. For example, the Wei Suo system was suitable at the beginning of the country, but it was not suitable later!"
Wen Tiren replied.
Zhu Youxiao nodded: "The system is indeed time-efficient! Therefore, we cannot be afraid of reform because the national system is very large and all things are complicated; we cannot make big moves just because there is a slight disturbance, because it will take time for the system to take effect!"
"The most important thing is to cultivate talents! Later emperors, auxiliary ministers, even local magistrates and even ordinary officials must have detailed training plans! You can't be careless!"
"At this point, the censor said that the eldest son of the emperor was in Jiangnan. In order to transfer the clan to the main clan, he killed officials too ruthlessly and was too tough in the implementation of the clan to the main clan, which caused local gentry to complain about this. I wonder if he would transfer him back to the capital and train him again?"
Liu Hongxun asked at this time.
