Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Also with a complicated expression was Luo Fangbo, Duke of Lan, who was over [-] years old and basically in retirement.

Honestly.

In the Ming Dynasty, people all understood Emperor Zhu's motivation to seize North America - such a large piece of farming land.

But not everyone understood why Emperor Zhu had to rush to war.

Because the current situation in the Ming Dynasty does not seem to be a small one, but a great one.

Nanyang, Lingnan, Jiangnan, Central Plains, Northeast China, and Oriental Ocean are connected together.

The Ming Dynasty formed four major industrial bases centered on Guangdong, Liangjiang, Beidu, and Liaodong.

At the same time, grain from grain-producing areas in the two lakes, Sichuan, northeast, and northwest can be quickly transported across the country via railways.

Southeast Asia, India and other places have become the origin of raw materials such as cotton and rubber.

North Korea and South Korea have become the agricultural and sideline products bases of the Greater China Circle.

The division of labor is clear, the industrial chain is complete, and the market is huge.

Such an economic circle is very dynamic.

The total economic volume, growth rate, and even the level of scientific and technological development and industrialization rate exceed the sum of European countries.

Under this situation, if it can develop for more than ten years, by then, the Ming Empire's national strength advantage will be even greater!

And Emperor Zhu is only 43 years old now.

Spring and Autumn are at their peak.

The body is also very good.

I heard that two princesses from Myanmar came here some time ago and stayed in Emperor Zhu's palace for two days.

With this physical condition, there will be no problem living for another 30 years.

What's the rush?

On the special train going back to Jiangbei Palace.

Luo Fangbo raised his doubts in front of Emperor Zhu.

"Brother-in-law, this is a war. Sometimes there are windows of opportunity that are fleeting!"

"Window of opportunity?!"

Luo Fangbo was a little confused.

"Yes, sometimes, the appearance of a certain weapon will instantly change the rules of the battlefield, especially when I have it and you don't."

Luo Fangbo nodded upon hearing this.

He probably knew what Emperor Zhu was referring to.

Some time ago, the Jinling Arsenal was testing a firearm capable of firing hundreds of rounds of bullets per minute.

This matter is not a secret among the upper echelons of Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, some time ago, the First Brigade of the Army performed a performance at the military base in Jiangbei. The performance was of a very high standard, and both Emperor Zhu and Zhao Si went to watch it.

Maybe it is to test the battlefield use effect of this weapon.

Luo Fangbo did not continue to worry about this, since he had retired anyway.

"The advantage of national power sometimes cannot be transformed into an advantage on the battlefield, especially when it crosses an ocean. Therefore, sometimes, there is only one opportunity. If we can advance the front to the east coast of the North American continent in one battle, from east to west If the confrontation turns into a confrontation between the north and the south, it will be a huge victory for us! If we can all own the land south of Wudalian Lake, then in the next hundred years, we can rely on the Great Plains of the Mississippi River Basin to give birth to hundreds of millions of Chinese people. By that time, relying solely on China's power in North America, it will be possible to drive the Europeans out of the New World."

As Emperor Zhu spoke, he pushed a box of preserves in front of Luo Fangbo.

"Brother-in-law, we are not sure about the future. All we can do now is to use every opportunity to try our best to seek a more favorable position for our future descendants. This is a candied fruit sent from Japan. It is very sweet. You Taste it.”

Luo Fangbo smiled when he heard this: "Old minister, I really like this sweet bite. Let me try it."

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of chopsticks.

After entering, Luo Fangbo couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

“The taste is really unique.”

"My brother-in-law likes it. I'll send someone to take a few dozen kilograms back later." Emperor Zhu waved his hand and said.

"Japan is an island country with many mountains. Unexpectedly, the fruits and vegetables grown there are amazing."

Luo Fangbo laughed when he heard this: "Your Majesty's original strategy of turning a vicious wolf into a loyal dog has now been a great success. The country of Japanese samurai has now become a country of sugar, fruits and vegetables."

Japan, which has lost any force, cannot threaten the order created by the Ming Empire in the east of the world, even after becoming a country of sugar and fruits.

Japan's economy is also completely dependent on the Ming Dynasty, and there is no possibility of resistance at all - not to mention, why should Japan resist?/
A large number of samurai from Japan went to New Japan.

Life is much better for Japanese people who stay in Japan.

Both sugar beet and fruit are cash crops, which are much more profitable than simple farming.

Plus the construction of the railway network.

The convenient transportation in the Ming Dynasty gave Japan a huge market for sugar, candied fruits, canned fruits and other products. In addition, Japanese farmers are really good at intensive farming.Japanese businessmen are also good at marketing.

a time.

Candied Fruit Immortal, Fruit Immortal and the like are often heard in major cities in the Ming Dynasty.

If calculated as GDP per capita.

This is a country in Japan that relies on agricultural and sideline products as its main industry. Its per capita GDP can catch up with economically powerful provinces like Guangdong Province in the Ming Dynasty.

Calculating the overall GDP per capita, it is even higher than that of the Ming Empire.

Emperor Zhu made a sugar jar and put Japan in it.

The Japanese people will not be sad that Japan has lost the future of becoming an imperialist country and once occupied half of East Asia - the current Japanese people also dare not imagine that little Japan will have such a future in the future.

They are clearly happy with their days now.

In Japan, the common people who were originally oppressed by the samurai took Chinese surnames and became citizens of China with peace of mind.

Many people even write genealogies and set up ancestral temples.

As for the previous Japanese Shinto belief, it gradually declined.

In terms of education, Japan’s education is fully in line with the Ming Dynasty.

Japan has also established primary schools, middle schools, and universities, and the textbooks used are also versions published by the Ministry of Education of the Ming Dynasty.

Japan's college entrance examination is also directly connected to the Ming Dynasty college entrance examination. Japanese students can take the entrance examination to any university in Ming Dynasty.

Of course, students from Ming Dynasty can also enroll in Edo University in Japan.

Although Japan is one country.

But it's the same as North Korea.

Gradually it becomes not much different from China.

"Japan is not a problem. The trouble that troubles the samurai in Japan today is the Spanish."

Emperor Zhu laughed.

The war between Japan and Spain has been going on for almost ten years.

The two sides fought a tug of war in the La Plana Plain of South America.

Honestly.

Emperor Zhu himself didn't even think of it.

Those Catholics in Spain were able to stop a group of crazy Japanese samurai.

It seems that a nation that can establish a colonial empire still has its resilience.
"Will the North American kings be a problem for the Ming Dynasty in the future?" Luo Fangbo looked at Emperor Zhu and asked.

"Trouble?" Emperor Zhu smiled.

"Even if it's trouble, it will be hundreds of years later! I won't be able to control things that happen in a few hundred years."

"What's more, even if the Chinese states in North America are unified into one country in the future and replace the Ming Dynasty as the world's most powerful country. What does it matter?"

"The meat is rotten, isn't it still in the same pot?" (End of this chapter)
