Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 403 Constructing Daming's Protection Island Chain

Zhu Jinsong looked at Liu Heming, Liu Erniu, Geng Rui and other bigwigs as if he was looking at a fool.

This kind of gaze made Liu Heming and others feel very uncomfortable - even if we are really stupid, you old man, the emperor, can't stare at us like this, can you?Anyway, he is also the leader of the Dudufu of the Five Armies, and we are also shamed!
It's just that Liu Heming and the others didn't dare to jump out to refute. After all, it was the relationship between the monarch and his ministers. Let alone being regarded as a fool by Zhu Jinsong, even if they were scolded as fools in person, Liu Heming and the others would be fine.

The most important thing is that Liu Heming and others were all beaten up by Zhu Jinsong since they were young, and they have a heavy shadow in their hearts.

It wasn't until Liu Heming and the others bowed their heads that they were stared at, and Zhu Jinsong snorted coldly and said, "If you want to get the budget from Uncle Huaiwen, even if you really form a martial arts team to play big swords, you may not be able to get a few more taels of money. But if you tell me where gold or silver mines or oil fields have been discovered, Uncle Huaiwen would even dare to withhold the budget of the Ministry of Industry!"

Liu Heming's eyes lit up, and he shouted: "Understood! I am stupid, thank you for your guidance!"

Zhu Jinsong snorted again, and did not continue to pursue Liu Heming and others' crap that they were ashamed of being poor.

"According to the information sent back by Jin Yiwei, Europa has completely started filming, and now the situation is out of control."

After Zhu Jinsong asked people to lay out the map, he gestured on the map casually: "The current situation is that the Habsburg family has plotted against England and France. Get up and play dumb."

"Of course, the chaos in Europa is not good for us in Daming, at least it will affect the commercial exchanges between the people."

"What's more, our Daming lacks the necessary screens now."

"If there is a real fire on Europa and the flames of war spread completely, even Daming may be involved."

When Zhu Jinsong said this, Liu Heming, Liu Erniu and other military leaders couldn't help but frowned, their hearts were as messy as if they had been trampled by ten thousand alpacas.

Is Ming's military strength strong?

Very strong.

Liu Heming and other leaders of the Five Armies Commander's Mansion were determined to keep the flames of war out of the gates of Ming Dynasty.

However, as Zhu Jinsong said, the present Daming really lacks the necessary screen fan.

When it comes to Ping Fan, one has to mention the tributary Fan Guo system that has been played in the Central Plains for thousands of years.

On the surface, the tributary system of the Fan Kingdom is that the small neighboring countries recognize Zhongyuan Tangkou as their father, and take things like stones and bark in exchange for real money from Zhongyuan Tangkou, so that Zhongyuan Tangkou looks like a legend. Take advantage of in.

In fact, the tributary system of the Fan Kingdom is as simple as it appears on the surface, and the benefits it brings to the Central Plains are innumerable.

For example, the first meaning of the Fan Kingdom tributary system lies in territorial rights—it should be noted that the territorial claim rights under the tributary system and the territorial claim rights of later generations cannot be generalized, and they are two completely different concepts.

The Fan Kingdoms included in the tributary system all need to respect the emperor of the Tangkou of the Central Plains as the king, and the king of the Fan Kingdom is a minister. The canonization edict of the Emperor Tangkou of the Central Plains is needed, otherwise it is a plot to usurp the throne, and even the people of their country will not recognize it.

For example, in Bangzi back then, the reason why a certain generation of kings were overthrown by Bangzi was that the king went crazy and decided to abolish the Chinese characters and Chinese in the Central Plains, and vigorously promote Bangzi's own writing and language.

This was regarded by the sticks as a disrespectful act to Zhongyuan's father, so the sticks took the king off the throne, burned his eyes blind, and exiled him to an island.

That is to say, under the tributary system of Fan Kingdom, the ownership of its land belongs to the father of the Central Plains. The King of Fan Kingdom is just a professional manager entrusted by the Emperor of Central Plains to manage a piece of land, who can be hereditary.

Even the right to war between the vassal states is actually owned by the Central Plains Tangkou - the opening of a movie between a feudal state and a feudal state must first obtain the permission of the Central Plains Tangkou, otherwise it will be disrespectful to the Central Plains Tangkou.

Of course, you can also say that the two vassal states opened up first, and one of them was beaten to the point of destruction, or there was a rebellion in the vassal state, and Zhongyuan Tangkou was the last to know the news. What should we do in this situation? ?
It's very simple, even if Tangkou Zhongyuan was the last to know the news, he has every right to make a ruling.

For example, asking for a truce between the two parties, or asking the party that was destroyed to re-establish the country, even if there is a rebellion in the vassal state, the Central Plains Tangkou can choose to solve it with soldiers or choose not to send troops to solve it.

Anyone who is disobedient can justifiably send troops to fight.

The Central Plains Tangkou has this right-it will be called "suspending the people and punishing crimes" in history books.

The second implication of the tributary system lies in the pricing power - the tributary country under the tributary system pays tribute to the father of the Central Plains. On the surface, it is a great thing to exchange stones for beautiful jade, but in reality?
Is the stone valuable or the jade valuable?Is it the spices that are worth the money or the red sandalwood?

This kind of pricing power is not in the hands of the Fan Kingdom, but in the hands of the Central Plains Tangkou.

For example, a certain Fanguo paid a large amount of spices to Zhongyuan Tangkou, and Zhongyuan Tangkou gave back some things like silk and porcelain. For Zhongyuan Tangkou, the value of spices is actually far more than silk and silk. Silver ingots, and for the Fan Kingdom, the value of silk and porcelain far exceeds that of spices.

Who lost?
No one knows who is losing money, but they all feel that they are making money anyway.

The key is who has the final say on the pricing of silk and porcelain.

To put it bluntly, the tributary system itself is a good thing that can suck blood in a fair manner, but some idiots have toyed up this system.

As for the third meaning of the tributary system, it is actually the most important role under the tributary system, and it is also the reason why some idiots have to bite the bullet and continue playing after finding that they are losing money after playing with this system.

Ping Fan.

The so-called Pingfan refers to the vassal state around the entrance of the Central Plains that can block the first wave of war for Ming and buy time for Ming to react.

for example.

As we all know, the barbarian chiefs in the Qing Dynasty have always been extremely unsatisfactory. Even if the mountains and rivers hang upside down and the sow climbs the tree, the barbarian chiefs in Jianyi are still not up to date.

Therefore, big powers like the Japanese slaves, France, and the United Kingdom, and even small countries like the Netherlands that have fallen out of the ranks of the big powers, want to tear a few pieces of flesh from the Qing Dynasty.

However, the Qing Dynasty inherited the tributary system of the Tangkou of the Central Plains - the Wa Kingdom wanted to open a movie with the Qing Dynasty, and Bangzi was a screen that the Japanese slaves could not get around. Before the Bangzi was settled, the Wa Kingdom did not dare to be too bold. .

Or take the Netherlands.

The root cause of Holland's daring to do things with Lanfang and the Hongxi tragedy in Batavia was that Lanfang was far away from the Central Plains. The Netherlands wanted to test the Qing Dynasty's attitude through Lanfang—— If it weren't for the money-deaf old dog being too useless, the Netherlands would actually be ready to make an apology.

So is France, of course.

France went to Vietnam in the first place because Vietnam was still a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty at that time, and it was purely profitable to win Vietnam, but it could test the attitude and strength of the Qing Dynasty if it could not win Vietnam.

All in all, the tributary system is tantamount to establishing the first line of defense around the entrance of the Central Plains. Any force that wants to attack the entrance of the Central Plains must first eliminate these Ping Fans.

If you don’t believe me, you can look at the vassals that have been included in the tributary system in history—one counts as one, and they are basically small countries that the Central Plains Hall can handle with confidence, and they happen to be in the vicinity of the Central Plains Hall.

Even the original Tatars and Oalas were based on this reason. After all, Zhu Laosi had personally conquered five times, and his behavior of leading troops to smash the field at every turn really caused the Tatars and Oirats a lot of harm.

It's just that no one expected that Zhu Qizhen, the floor tile of Emperor Ming Dynasty, got rid of it.

maritime?

Except for the Qing Dynasty, all Tangkou dynasties in the Central Plains have never thought about the ability of someone to fight across the sea.

More importantly, no one in the past dynasties did not pay attention to coastal defense like the Qing Dynasty, so that he was beaten like a dead dog and had to rely on land cession and compensation to continue his life.

Of course, how the Qing Dynasty was abolished was a matter of the Qing Dynasty, and had nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty created by Zhu Jinsong.

What really gave Zhu Jinsong a headache was because it was a good time to smash the scene at the beginning, but after the smashing was over, several vassal states were lost. Now Daming has lost the surrounding Pingfan.

No, it can't be said that there is no such thing at all. After all, there are still several vassal states in Daming, one is the Wa state, and the other two are the Qin state and the Jin state.

Naturally, the Wa Kingdom has nothing to say. It has no other significance other than serving as an unsinkable aircraft carrier for the East China Sea Fleet, while the Qin Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom are far away from the mainland of Ming Dynasty.

To be honest, the geographical locations of Qin State and Jin State are not bad——Qin State is in Yindi’an Continent, which is located in the heartland of the Silly Eagle family, and Jin State is in New Qinzhou, which is the so-called Alaska in later generations. , is located on the top of Canada, and can surround Canada with Qin at any time, and even send troops together to fight the idiot eagle.

The problem is that both Qin and Jin are far away from the mainland of Daming, and cannot exist as the first defense chain of Ming Dynasty. However, Lanfang and Jiugang, which are most suitable for the first defense island chain, have now become the chief ministers. Envoy.

Without enough screens, it means that there is no first protective island chain. It also means that once the small broken ball is fully launched, Daming must personally go off the field to participate in the small broken ball's full-scale opening activities.

So here comes the question: Why didn't Ming Dynasty have a Ping Fan?

Answer: Because Emperor Zhu was only thinking about taking back the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and building more land along the way, and forgot about Ping Fan.

This is the real smashing scene for a while, and it's really cool when you keep smashing, and it's very annoying after the fun.

Thinking of this, Zhu Jinsong immediately frowned even tighter: "According to the current situation in Europa, the time for Xiaopoqiu to fully open the film will not be very far away, and the time left for us to build a screen fan may not be much." .”

Liu Heming approached the map and looked at it, but the more he looked at it, the more disturbed he became: "As far as I know, the old port has become the largest port in Nanyang. If the old port is abolished, the maritime trade in Nanyang will basically be abolished. That is to say, once the film is fully launched, the Old Port will definitely be the first target to be attacked."

"Tianzhu can compete with Jiugang and Lanfang, but the laborers in Tianzhu have not been recruited yet, and our Daming's garrison in Tianzhu is not very large. It can defend, but not attack. .”

"If we send more troops to Tianzhu now, we can make preparations before the full-scale opening of the film, but..."

Zhu Jinsong glanced at Liu Heming, snorted coldly and said, "But, Uncle Huaiwen certainly won't allocate too much budget, so it's very short of money, right?"

Liu Heming laughed and didn't answer, but Zhu Jinsong couldn't help sighing——Ever since seeing those matchlock guns, small sampans, and Kongming lanterns, Zhu Jinsong felt a little bit pained, because those matchlock guns, small sampans, and Kongming lanterns changed back and forth , and finally turned into two words.

Play money!

Seeing Liu Heming and other bigwigs in the military government pretending to be deaf and dumb again, Zhu Jinsong simply snorted coldly and said, "You guys should find a way to tell Uncle Huaiwen by yourself, and it's all up to you if you can get the budget from him." Relying on yourselves, I won't turn to you this time."

Hearing Zhu Jinsong's words, Liu Heming immediately began to smile miserably: "Don't, Your Majesty, you can't leave us alone. If you let us go, Uncle Huaiwen will definitely not give you a copper coin."

Zhu Jinsong ignored Liu Heming, and instead stretched out his hand and gestured on the map: "With the presence of Jin and Qin, the direction of Yindi'an Continent will not become a threat to our Ming Dynasty, and the mutual horns of Jiugang, Lanfang and Tianzhu are enough to resist Daming. Part of it is the threat from Europa—this means that the biggest threat to our Ming Dynasty now is the Sand Goose."

"On the surface, Sand Goose is now in an alliance with the Habsburg family. It won't pose any threat to our Ming Dynasty for a while, but Alexander of Sand Goose is watching the wolf, waiting for him to solve the Habsburg family. After the Fort family alliance, there is no guarantee that he will not turn around and attack Ottoman."

Seeing that Emperor Zhu talked about serious matters, Liu Heming did not dare to continue to sell miserably, but honestly followed Emperor Zhu's train of thought: "That is to say, to build a Ping Fan that belongs to our Ming Dynasty, we must We must first ensure the defense lines of Tianzhu, the west of the Western Regions, and the north of the Western Regions."

Zhu Jinsong nodded, and said, "That's right, that's what happened—more importantly, it is inevitable that Xiao Poqiu will be fully released, and this day will definitely not be too far away."

After Zhu Jinsong said this, Liu Heming couldn't help but feel a little bit pained.

Why did the little broken ball open in full?
Because the life of most of the countries on the small broken ball is not easy-after the food is bought by others, the people will be short of food, the people will not be able to live without food, and the people will rebel if they cannot survive.

In order to prevent the people in their own country from rebelling, those countries can only choose to vent their pressure outward.

It's not a big deal for one or two small countries to open up, and the five benevolent people in a small pot are enough to suppress it.

However, what if two or even three of the five benevolent families open films with each other?
