Cutting 1719

Chapter 677 A Great Decade

When people look back at history, they suddenly find that 1740 has become a dividing point in history. To some extent, it has witnessed that the development of Eastern and Western civilizations has completely changed. Europe has fallen into 12 years of war, and The Eastern world ushered in a golden period of development.

But in the glorious history, many people have a hard time explaining the reason for it. Some people say it is because of Britain and France fighting for hegemony in Europe, some say it is because of Chu State’s visit to Europe, and some say it is the accumulation of The long-standing conflict was detonated.
In short, after the death of Charles VI, the flames of war surrounding the succession of the Austrian throne quickly spread throughout Europe. After the end of the Battle of Mollwitz, Austria faced a very worrying situation, with its military and financial resources weakening day by day, so Maria · Teresia can only seek help from the British.

At this time, the British are engaged in the Jenkins' Ear War with Spain. However, it is impossible for the British to ignore Maria Theresa's request for help, because they need a sufficiently threatening Austria to contain the French, but if they choose to send troops , then it is bound to offend Prussia.

King George II of England is very worried about this. If he declares war on Prussia, it will not only destroy the previous strategy of wooing Prussia, but also the Principality of Hanover in Europe will not be able to stop the attacks of Prussia and the French. Bigger, so he was prepared to mediate the war by allocating £30 to Maria Theresia, but requiring her to give Silesia to Frederick as the price of peace.

Maria Theresia didn't appreciate what the British thought, because Poland, Savoy, and the Netherlands all expressed their willingness to assist in combat, and then the real trouble came—although the British had not formally contacted Austria Forming an alliance, but in the eyes of Louis XV, this was not the case. He directly bypassed Prime Minister Fleury and hurriedly formally united with Bavaria, Prussia and Bourbon Spain.

Speaking of which, France had previously promised Charles VI to support the State Decree, but from time to time, Bavarian Elector Karl Albrecht, through the relationship of his wife (his wife is Charles VI’s elder brother Joseph I daughter), came to inherit the Holy Roman Empire, and promised to support France, so Louis XV hurried off to join the war, the purpose is to completely change the strategic situation in the east and break the balance strategy of the British.

The personal end of the French prompted the further expansion of the war, and soon these major warring countries signed a treaty in June 1741, and the French also agreed to Sweden's war against Russia, and promised to send troops to aid in order to stop the British The military intervention of the Hanoverian dynasty.

When the situation developed to this stage, the situation between the two sides became very clear. These major European countries formed two camps around Britain and France, and launched a cruel and tragic war. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers from various countries rushed to the front line. The trenches kill you to the death.

However, when Europe was caught in the flames of war, Da Chu officially held a conference in the 18th year of innovation, invited all the remaining countries in Asia to participate, and formally accepted the "Yi Yi Yi Xia, Hua Xia Nine" sent by these countries. Service' application, officially announced the formation of the Huaxia Empire, and Ning Yu also declared to be the Emperor of Huaxia.

The traditional theory of Huaxia has also been newly developed today. The original Asian countries have officially become part of the Huaxia Jiufu from their original status as vassal states. Of course, as a member of Huaxia, they will also naturally accept it. According to the order of the Chinese Emperor, every Great Chu Emperor will automatically become the Chinese Emperor and the co-lord of the entire Chinese Empire.

After completing this major event, Ning Yu quickly announced the "General Outline of the Imperial Constitution of the Chinese Empire" as the emperor of Huaxia. Congratulations; those who change the barbarians with Xia, the world will attack them together.

In addition to such a basic outline, the constitution also stipulates the rights and obligations of Huaxia Jiufu. Among the hundreds of regulations, it generally includes all parts of the country and the people. The empire will assume the obligation to protect all countries and prevent these countries from being invaded by other countries.As for the other countries of the "Xia", they need to be loyal to the Great Chu, and need to hand over many powers such as legislation, military affairs, diplomacy, public security, etc., and only retain civil power.

After Ning Yu completed the complete integration of the Chinese Empire, his status has almost surpassed history itself. Countless people are chanting the name of the emperor, and almost everyone pays homage to Ning Yu. Because he is almost a legendary saint A legend that can only be accomplished
However, what almost most people don’t know is that in order to promote the establishment of the Huaxia Empire and suppress the opposition forces in various places after that, the Great Chu Empire has almost always carried out counter-insurgency wars in various countries during the 18th and even the 19th year of the Reform. , From Japan to Annan, from Burma to Ayutthaya Kingdom, a large number of people fall to the ground almost every day, and blood almost flows into a river.

Of course, all of this became very worthwhile after the "General Outline of the Imperial Constitution of the Chinese Empire" was promulgated, and after completing this matter, Ning Yu did not stop, but continued to vigorously develop economic construction, and from 1741 Since [-], Dachu has started a period of high-speed construction and development that lasted for ten years.

In the past ten years, Dachu's Industry 2.0 plan has also been fully completed. Domestic industrial achievements account for more than 90.00% of the world's share. The world, and in exchange for a boatload of raw materials and gold and silver minerals, these have strongly promoted the economic take-off of Dachu and the leapfrog development of industry and commerce.

The newly-built colonies have also begun to realize feedback. The spices from Southeast Asia, the iron ore in Nanzhou, and the gold and silver mineral resources in Jinzhou have all given a pair of wings to take off in the current colonial plan of Dachu. More and more People began to take the initiative to go abroad, to the vast Jinzhou, Nanzhou, or even to Southeast Asia, looking for new opportunities to make a fortune.

The prosperous industrial and commercial development has promoted the rapid development of Dachu's transportation industry. Among them, a railway network of [-] kilometers has been initially built in the country. Except for [-] kilometers of railways ten years ago, the remaining one The [-]-kilometer railway was officially completed in these ten years, and the average annual railway construction mileage reached [-] kilometers.

The [-]-kilometer railway has basically penetrated the major transportation hubs of Dachu, especially after the railways to Central Asia and Eastern Russia are opened to traffic, the troops of Dachu can reach Eastern Russia within a week, while other The railways have also greatly helped Dachu control the place.

The benefits brought by the development of the transportation industry are not limited to these. After all, along with the railway construction, there is an entire Dachu transportation construction plan. The road network construction like blood vessels has successfully penetrated the economic belts of various places and realized a large economic cycle.

In addition to the rapid development of industry, commerce and transportation, in the past ten years, the economic construction plan of Dachu's fifteen prefectures has been realized ahead of schedule, and the economic impetus released has made Dachu's annual revenue rise by somersaults every year. , by the 29th year of innovation, Da Chu's annual income had reached an astonishing 8000 million silver coins, which was almost five times higher than the 6000 million silver coins ten years ago.

At the same time, due to the long-term war in Europe, the economies of various countries have not only failed to develop, but have experienced a certain decline. At this time, let alone France or the United Kingdom, even if the economies of all these Western countries combined, Can't keep up with the Great Chu Empire at this time.

Unprecedented construction power and speed of development, so that at the time of the 28th year of innovation, the "Qingliu Daily" at that time had already issued an exclamation: the train of the empire could not stop its footsteps
In addition to economic development, the 30 years of peace have finally caused the population of Dachu to undergo an expansionary change. In the national census that began in the 29th year of reform, the current registered population of Dachu has already More than 2000 million people.

In fact, during the Qing Dynasty, the actual population of the entire Qing Dynasty had exceeded [-] million people, but a large number of people were hidden, but now in the current territory of Great Chu, there is no possibility of any hidden population at all. , coupled with the rapid development of the past few decades, has led to several waves of baby booms in Dachu, especially with the rapid development of obstetrics and gynecology in Dachu, a large number of people have survived, and the population has been realized. explosion.

According to relevant population experts, if Dachu continues to develop like this for 20 years, by the time of 50 years of innovation, the population of Dachu will probably exceed [-] million. By the end of this century, the population is likely to It will exceed [-] million people or even more.

For this judgment, Ning Yu naturally believes very much. You must know that in the original history, even though the Qing court was far behind this era, the population still achieved explosive growth. By the end of this century, it had exceeded 1850 million , and by the Daoguang period in [-], it had exceeded [-] million.

Under the circumstances that the current conditions are not known how much better, the population of Great Chu will not exceed [-] million by the end of this century, even if it exceeds [-] million, it is very possible. This kind of pressure is also a kind of motivation.

The pressure is naturally that as the population increases, the food gap will only increase. If there is not enough food to feed them, then the population will only become a bomb that destroys Dachu. If [-] million or even [-] million people are transformed into the driving force for development, it will also be a very powerful boost to the development of Dachu.

For the Ningyu and Dachu cabinets, there is naturally only one choice - that is to further accelerate the immigration speed, let more Chinese people go out of the country, and live on more, wider and more fertile land. Use force to fight for more living space!
Therefore, since 20 years of innovation, Da Chu has promulgated a new "Immigration Act", which encourages domestic people to live in colonies, and in order to encourage more people to go to Jinzhou and Nanzhou for development, it also specifically stipulates that all people who go to Jinzhou and Nanzhou The people of Dachu in Nanzhou will receive a lot of material rewards, and they will also receive special medal rewards!

In addition, in terms of public opinion propaganda, Da Chu also began to more actively promote the importance of immigration development, and established a large number of immigrant heroes. With their deeds and today's affluent life, they encouraged more poor people in the country to find new development directions ——Under various policies, countless immigrant teams, large or small, set off on sea boats.

From official organizations to non-governmental organizations, more than 500 million people have crossed the ocean to Jinzhou by sea boat, and another 200 million people have gone to Nanzhou. With the development by leaps and bounds, the stocks of several chambers of commerce specializing in maritime trade have almost risen dozens of times, and after that, the number of seagoing ships in Dachu has also increased by dozens of times, with tens of thousands of seagoing ships and millions of Seafarers have become an important symbol of coastal economic development.

While the population is increasing rapidly, Ning Yu once again revised the "Education Law" of Dachu, and the focus of this revision is to extend the compulsory education to six years, which is divided into four years of primary school and two years of middle school. In [-], the more crucial change was that not only school-age boys had to go to school, but all school-age girls had to receive compulsory education.

"It's been 30 years since the revolution. I won't tolerate our children and grandchildren still being illiterate. This is not only my shame, but also yours!"

In the State Affairs Office, Emperor Ning, who was already in his forties, patted the table again. It seemed that everything was the same as before, but the ministers standing in front of Ning Yu had changed their faces. Assistant Liu Tongxun stood in front of Emperor Ning with a slight bow and a respectful face.

After Ning Yu's anger dissipated, Liu Tongxun said softly with a wry smile on his face: "Reporting to Your Majesty, although my Dachu's annual income is rising steadily, the expenditure is also rising, and the colonization and development every year has gradually become a big one. financial pressure, and His Royal Highness is planning a new labor welfare plan, these are things that cost a lot of money. I have no intention of opposing His Majesty, but I just hope that His Majesty can consider whether it can be slowed down for a while."

"Slow down? These things are big things, how can they be slowed down?"

Ning Yu glared at Liu Tongxun coldly, sighed again, and said, "Don't worry, I've already found a way to solve this year's financial loophole."
