"It's not a bad idea to go to the East and take a look. I can also go to Australia to occupy the land there. <Binghuo#ÖÐÎÄ Now, except for the indigenous people, Australia is a completely covered land, and the showoff indigenous people are The combat power is also very weak." Zhao Hongyu raised his hand and gently stroked his smooth chin, and said to Song Hu and Professor Liu at the same time.
"But how do we get the population of the Ming Dynasty? Cooperate with pirates? And when we go to the east, we are bound to conflict with the Portuguese there and the remaining Spanish forces. Now we are torn apart from the Spanish and the Portuguese Face, I think the fleet in the east must already know about it.¡±
Zhao Hongyu expressed his worries.
After hearing this, Professor Liu smiled and said to Zhao Hongyu: "Your Highness, the problems you are worried about are actually very easy to solve. Let's first talk about the Portuguese and Spanish in the East. Their fleets are at most in India and Manila. Over in Macau, the fleet number is less than a hundred, and it is still very scattered. As long as you take a fleet with you when you go, then these people will have nothing to fear."
In Professor Liu¡¯s eyes, these Fan warships, which were very powerful in the eyes of Ming pirates, were actually not scary at all.
The Empire can completely defeat the opponent with its longer range and denser artillery.
So, there is no need to worry about this problem at all.
"As for those pirates of the Ming Dynasty who have united with the Spanish, as long as His Highness lets them see our strength, these pirates will naturally retreat. They will not sacrifice their lives for the Portuguese and Spanish. These guys have advantages. They are talented and can hide faster than anyone else if they have no advantage. As long as we let them know that we are not easy to mess with, they will learn to behave."
Professor Liu said to Zhao Hongyu confidently.
After listening to Professor Liu¡¯s words, Zhao Hongyu himself thought about it secretly in his heart.
Um. What Professor Liu said makes sense. If you think about it carefully, it is really the same thing.
"Go on, the pirates, the Portuguese and the Spanish are no longer a problem, then you can tell us how we can deal with the population of the Ming Dynasty?"
Pirates are all trivial matters. What Zhao Hongyu cares about is how to get the population from the Ming Dynasty.
Although the Ming Dynasty in this era did not close the country, and many officials had ships on the southeast coast for maritime trade, gaining population from the Ming Dynasty was a big deal after all, and had to be done with caution.
And Easterners and Westerners are different. Orientals generally don't like to leave their hometown.
Even if they suffer a major disaster, they will go back if they have the chance after leaving their hometown.
Therefore, it is a bit difficult for Zhao Hongyu to ask them to leave their hometown and come to America.
Moreover. The officials and the court of the Ming Dynasty would not agree.
Seeing Zhao Hongyu ask this, Professor Liu¡¯s expression was still so relaxed. He doesn't seem to be bothered by this problem at all.
"Your Highness, you don't know. In this era, the Ming Dynasty has already begun to experience internal and external troubles, and because of the coming of the Ice Age, natural disasters have occurred frequently. The people are suffering unspeakably, and people everywhere are bankrupt due to droughts and floods. Refugees, the number of these refugees is very large, and they have brought heavy burdens and hidden dangers of instability to the Ming Dynasty. If the problems of these refugees can be solved, I think the officials and rulers of the Ming Dynasty would be too late to be happy, so why would they refuse? Woolen cloth."
Professor Liu was very sure. He was sure that the Ming Dynasty would definitely agree to 'sell' the refugees to the empire.
After a pause, Professor Liu continued: "Moreover, the current economy of the Ming Dynasty is very bad. The court's tax revenue is often beyond its means, which is simply not enough. And the court also has to spend money to provide relief to the victims so that they can have a living. Don¡¯t make trouble for food, which makes the already difficult financial situation even more difficult. At the same time, these funds used to provide relief to the victims were deducted and corrupted layer by layer when they were allocated, so they could be used for the victims. There were not many at all, so there were many uprisings in the Ming Dynasty during this period, but these things were rarely recorded. Because these uprisings were suppressed very quickly."
"Your Highness, you went to the East to buy these refugees. Not only can the Ming Dynasty avoid the hidden dangers of the refugees, but it can also add income to the finances that cannot make ends meet. They are always willing to do so. You can just bribe the officials when the time comes. Anyway, Our empire has money, but what we need is population, right? And you can take advantage of this opportunity to sell the empire's products to the Ming Dynasty, as well as to the surrounding countries such as Korea, Japan, Annan, Siam and so on. Maybe we can start from the Ming Dynasty. The money for purchasing the population is earned from these countries without touching the treasury of our empire."Zhao Hongyu was moved after listening to Professor Liu¡¯s words.
Yes, what Professor Liu said is very feasible.
The Ming court has solved the problem, the pirates, the Portuguese and the Spaniards have also been solved, so there will be no more trouble.
The only thing left is to transport the population from the Ming Dynasty.
"So where do you plan to transport the population of the Ming Dynasty? Manhattan or Quebec. If it is these two places, the voyage is really too far. And during the eight-month sea voyage, no one knows where it will go. How many people will die? Our warships are not enough, so we can only entrust merchants from other countries to ship these people."
Yes, it is impossible for Zhao Hongyu to use the empire¡¯s warships to transport these people, because the empire¡¯s warships are not large in number now.
The thirteen fleets that were finally built have now been transferred to the Caribbean.
And it will take half a year to wait until the new warship is launched.
Since our own cannot be used, we can only entrust merchants from other countries to transport those people to the East.
But there is a big problem to solve.
That is a long voyage, which can cause various diseases.
At the same time, during sea voyages in this era, people on the ship have to experience all kinds of bad weather and the environment on the ship, which is very difficult.
¡°Perhaps at sea, the number of immigrants from the Ming Dynasty will be greatly reduced. If this happens, it will be a big loss.
After Zhao Hongyu spoke out about these issues that he was worried about, Professor Liu also fell into deep thought.
To be honest, he has not considered this issue.
But he felt that this was a trivial matter and he didn¡¯t need to worry about it at all.
"Go directly across the Pacific and take Japan to the west coast of America. We can temporarily establish a camp on the west coast and slowly annex the surrounding areas based on this camp." After being silent for a while, Professor Liu raised his head and said to Zhao Hongyu. "This can greatly shorten the voyage, and we can also prepare some effervescent tablets for the immigrants, which can solve their anemia and scurvy caused by the lack of food at sea"
Professor Liu gave a solution.
Should we go directly to the Pacific Ocean and send the immigrants from Ming Dynasty to the west coast?
Zhao Hongyu¡¯s heart moved.
In this way, the west coast can also be controlled by the empire.
Only then will the empire¡¯s American territory be complete.
But there will be another problem. If the Ming Dynasty has too many people, will there be any problems in the future?
"But don't let those immigrants from the Ming Dynasty become ambitious and split up the Americas they finally conquered. That would be a lot of fun.
Subsequently, Zhao Hongyu expressed this hidden worry to Professor Liu.
Hearing this, Professor Liu nodded seriously and said: "Yes, we do need to prevent this kind of thing from happening. What we need is population, but what we absolutely don't need is trouble. So Your Highness, when you establish a colony, Appoint a person with the authority of the township chief to be stationed there. He can use half of the money every month to cultivate Chinese genetic people, so that we can avoid what you said happening. As long as our genes If people occupy a certain proportion of the population, then we don¡¯t have to worry about any rebellion.¡±
Someone with the authority of the township chief?
After listening to Professor Liu¡¯s words, Zhao Hongyu thought for a while.
Nowadays, genetic people with authority have basically been delegated.
¡°Besides, the number of gene people with authority is not that many, only eight people.
¡°If you follow what Professor Liu said, then you only have one Wangshan in your hand that you can send and station there.
He is the only genetic person who has authority but has not been sent out yet.
At the beginning, Wang Shan chose to stay with him and used his monthly authority to cultivate genetic people to form the Royal Guards.
It can be said that the powerful Imperial Guards around him were all established by Wang Shan.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Of this Imperial Guard, which values ????quality rather than quantity.
??????????????????? After considering the virtual world, Wangshan Headquarters selected genetic people who are also children from the mountainous area, but the cost is not low.
Because for the sake of the children's growth and physical fitness, Wang Shan spent a lot of money to give them a good diet and physical fitness when they were children.
Therefore, the Imperial Guards around Zhao Hongyu all looked strong and mighty. Just eight hundredThe number of people cost Wang Shan six billion yuan.
Wang Shan spent a lot of money on these genetic people, and they have systematically learned some simple and deadly fighting techniques, otherwise they would not have spent so much money.
It can be said that this is all the result of Wang Shan.
But now he has to let Wang Shan leave him and stay on the west coast when the time comes.
Zhao Hongyu felt a little reluctant to let go.
Seeing Zhao Hongyu become silent, Professor Liu knew that Zhao Hongyu was reluctant to leave Wang Shan.
At the same time, Professor Liu also learned from Song Hu that Wang Shan was the one who specifically used his authority to form a protective military force for Zhao Hongyu.
Therefore, Wang Shan¡¯s status and role are very unusual for Zhao Hongyu.
But no matter what, now he has to convince Zhao Hongyu to let Wang Shan come out temporarily.
As for how to persuade Zhao Hongyu, Professor Liu already has an idea.
