Chapter 731 Establishing a kingdom within a kingdom
Wen Tiren's report was actually asking Zhu Youjian to give a big strategy, first draw a frame, and then the cabinet painted it in the frame according to the situation, otherwise the ministers would really not know how to face this enclave thousands of miles away.
Although there is no shortage of rituals for expanding territory in the more than 200 years of history of the Ming Dynasty, according to previous traditions, the court adopted the strategy of restraining these newly opened territories and pursued the strategy of using barbarians to control barbarians, and the final results were not very ideal.
Jiaozhi is the best example.
The territory that was captured after spending huge amounts of national treasury and countless Ming soldiers died in the battlefield was lost in less than a few years due to improper strategy of the court. From then on, emperors and important officials of the Ming Dynasty were indifferent to the expansion of territory.
But judging from the current situation, Wen Tiren discovered that the emperor had completely abandoned the policy of restraint and instead used more pragmatic strategies to build a new territory.
An example is outside the barrier.
Whether in terms of military or civil affairs, the emperor's series of deployments treated Liaodong as a real place in the Ming Dynasty, rather than the condescending strategy of the original Liao people defending Liao territory and supporting Liao people.
Large-scale immigration from Shandong to Liaodong is proof of this.
For thousands of years, Shandong people have been well-behaved and loyal and obedient. As long as a large number of Shandong immigrants take root outside the pass, the Northeast will have a stable foundation.
Wen Tiren had already thought that in the future, the Northeast Frontier Army should be composed mainly of Shandong people, and this should be the emperor's ultimate goal.
"Since the chief assistant has some doubts, I will talk about it from a general point of view.
First of all, Luzon is located overseas, and most of the indigenous people on its island have not yet been civilized. Whether it is production or lifestyle, they are in ignorant. It is precisely because it lags behind other countries in general that this is easily occupied by Western barbarians.
After the Western barbarians occupied Luzon, they did not try every means to activate their people's wisdom. Instead, they used all the means of cruelty to exploit the indigenous people of Luzon and other foreign populations. This is what is called unkind.
Now that the army of our emperor and Ming Dynasty drove out the stinky people and returned to the Luzon and the common people in various places to make a bright future, our emperor and Ming Dynasty should shoulder the important mission of educating their people and safeguarding their safety."
Zhu Youjian expressed his first point of view with a serious expression, which was the general idea that facing the many backward and ignorant people on Luzon Island, we, as the country with the longest and most splendid history and civilization among the countries around the world, have the obligation to help these savages live a good life.
The ministers in the palace nodded frequently to the emperor's statement, agreeing with the emperor's proposal that the torch of Chinese civilization should shine on the world.
If a master is famous, he will be helpful.
This principle is a principle that countries follow in this world or in the future.
Later generations of a superpower used force to covet a country's rich black gold resources and also weaved a reason why the other party had large-scale biological and chemical weapons.
Therefore, in order to assume the responsibility of allowing the vast number of people on Luzon to live a good life, the Ming Dynasty court should take necessary measures to implement it.
"Secondly, although the subordinates of Luzon are unknown, I believe that we should try our best to support the indigenous people to establish corresponding regimes in order to better manage the people under our rule and cooperate with the Ming Dynasty's Department to do a good job in helping the poor and helping the poor.
As for helping him establish a regime, I think it is better to choose people who are willing to accept Chinese civilization and individuals and clans who are willing to control the situation with the Ming Dynasty!”
Zhu Youjian did not intend to include Luzon in his territory, nor did he want to regard Luzon as a territory for future generations to be enfeoffed.
Compared with Luzon, which already had a large number of indigenous people, the uninhabited and occupied Nanya Province is the best place to enfeoff the vassal state.
"I have called the emperor, and I think there are many disadvantages of restraint. If the emperor wants to plan this place, it is better not to use this policy.
The intertwined lessons are not far away, and our dynasty has nothing to gain after spending money and food, but it is actually a move that is not worth the loss.
I think this strategy needs to be carefully considered!"
Zhu Youjian had just finished his second paragraph, and Sun Chuanting stood up and saluted and said in a deep voice.
For him, with the current strength of the Ming Dynasty, it is not necessary to expand territory, and it is better to send trait officials to manage the territory he has captured.
But according to the emperor's intention, he did not intend to adopt this method, but returned to the traditional strategy of using barbarians to control barbarians. This strategy has been proven to be a failure. How could the emperor's wisdom make such a mistake?
"Sun Qing is a little restless, please listen to me."
Zhu Youjian smiled and signaled Sun Chuanting to sit down, then said, "My plan seems to be the same as the throne, but in fact it is very different!
The difference between Luzon and Interwoven is that although there are many natives on the island, the tribes and races are not harmoniously apart, that is, they are not as solid as interwoven; and there has never been a stunning heroic figure in its place, and the entire Luzon is not actually in a state of unity, so this is the Western barbarians!”
Judging from the history of later generations, in addition to several more fierce and warlike tribes, most of the indigenous people of Luzon were docile and were easily conquered by power. There were no strong figures in hundreds of years, so Zhu Youjian was not worried that Luzon would become another intertwined.
"There have been examples of Chinese immigration in Luzon Island. Let's take a look at it now. Over the past few decades, although tens of thousands of Ming immigrants have been slaughtered by Western barbarians, there are still a large number of immigrants on the island, as well as the indigenous people who are dressed in the Ming Dynasty. These species are the main beneficiaries of Luzon's development.
In order to protect these people with the same roots and roots as ours, the Ming Dynasty's official army will be stationed in dangerous places for a long time, so this will be my dependence!"
Zhu Youjian's strategy was to allow the Ming army to establish permanent military bases overseas. While protecting the Ming Dynasty immigrants on Luzon Island, they could use military bases with extremely important geographical locations to maintain the security of the Ming maritime trade channel, and ensure the future input of strategic materials and the output of commodities.
"While supporting the indigenous people to establish a regime, the Ming Dynasty immigrant autonomous region should be designated on Luzon Island and emphasized its full autonomy. The Ming Dynasty immigrants have the right to participate in the governance of Luzon, and the Luzon court has no right to engage in any malicious interference in the autonomous region!"
Zhu Youjian said here, and the faces of the ministers in the hall showed a sudden expression on their faces.
The Ming Dynasty immigrants had the right to participate in the management of Luzon, but the Luzon court had no right to interfere in the daily activities of the autonomous region. Isn’t this just creating a country, China?
No, it is even more powerful than China.
Those Ming immigrants had a full chance to rule the entire Luzon.
It turns out that the emperor has turned Luzon into an invisible province of the Ming Dynasty, but that's not the case for the outside world.
"The emperor said, since our official army has been stationed in its territory for a long time, will it be necessary for Luzon to establish its own army in the future?"
