Start 1861: I just inherited the Dutch throne

Chapter 773 6000 Population

Beginning in the late 19th century, Japan and other European and American countries competed to invade the Koryo Peninsula, which accelerated the disintegration and differentiation of the Lee feudal dynasty on the Koryo Peninsula and the process of Koryo becoming a colonial and semi-feudal society. This inevitably intensified the feudal ruling group of Koryo at the same time. The internal struggle between the enlightened faction and the conservative faction.

A group of young bureaucrats from aristocratic families, under the influence of the deepening crisis of foreign aggression and the trend of modernization, gradually formed the enlightened faction headed by Jin Yujun.

These people try to imitate Japan's Meiji Restoration, which made Goryeo a prosperous and powerful modern country through top-down political reforms. Therefore, they regard Japan after the Meiji Restoration as an idol and worship Western countries, especially Britain, France, the Netherlands, Germany, the United States and other countries satirized the backward model of the ancient powers in the Far East.

The idea of ​​the Enlightenment School was supported by some awakened small and medium-sized officials, intellectuals and new-style soldiers, and was praised by King Gaozong of Goryeo. However, it was opposed and opposed by Gaozong's concubine Min and her Qi family who controlled the government. persecution.

The conservative faction centered on the power of the Min clan, with the support of the governments of the ancient powers in the Far East, did everything possible to obstruct and sabotage the reform movement of the enlightened faction. They not only transferred Kim Ok-kyun, Park Yong-hyo and other high-level officials of the enlightened faction of the government from Seoul, but also tried to take advantage of the opportunity. Eliminate the enlightened faction.

This made Jin Yujun and others realize that they must overthrow the Min family's conservative power struggle and establish a civilized government, so they actively prepared to launch a coup.

At the same time, Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States, France and other countries expressed support for the enlightenment faction with ulterior motives. In particular, Japan-Ben Prime Minister Saigo Takamori secretly met with Kim Ok-kyun's representatives many times and gave him a large amount of money and "experience". support.

In particular, Japan was the most active, trying to control the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Koryo and expand its aggression against Koryo.

However, Jin Yujun and others who were very envious of Japan failed to recognize the nature of Japanese aggression and began to embark on the dangerous path of relying on Japanese power to promote reforms.

"Now that Jin Yujun and others trained by Japan in Goryeo are forced to flee to Tokyo, and with the support of the ancient power stationed in the Far East on the Goryeo Peninsula, it is obviously difficult for Japan to launch such a penetrating invasion of Goryeo."

Canturdao, director of the Dutch National Security Council.

William IV shook his head and said: "Don't be so optimistic. There has been enough chaos in the Balkans in Europe recently. Don't you think Asia has been peaceful for too long?"

Cantur asked in confusion: "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

William IV: "You know, there are people who don't want to make things too easy for us."

Kantur's mind was running rapidly, and suddenly I realized that I had forgotten an important country. How could I forget them?
Cantur wanted to give himself a few slaps.

Said: "Your Majesty, is Britain too quiet?"

William IV nodded: "Isn't it? After South America was driven away by us in Chile, we increased our influence in Argentina. But that all takes time." "The current situation in Europe is far away from Western Europe and Central Europe. Some time ago, The Polish and Lithuanians revolted against the rule of Tsarist Russia. We took advantage of the threat of war and the chaotic situation to relocate nearly 10 people. It seemed that we were the biggest winners, but the British gained no less than us. They defeated Poland, the richest country in Tsarist Russia. The people and the Lithuanians were persuaded to come to London.

They and we used the model of quality over quantity and secretly defeated us. However, because of the number of 10, we faced suspicion from European countries with emigrated people. On the contrary, they did not, and even contributed to Europe's anti-Dutch immigration mentality. It’s thicker. "

William IV said: "Therefore, the success of the United Kingdom in the past 200 years is no accident. We absolutely cannot deal with them with any carelessness, otherwise we will die without a burial place."

Cantur responded: "Yes."

"Now, after 12 years of Meiji Restoration, Japan has become a rapidly developing country. Japan has the largest population in the Far East after that ancient country.

远东古老大国3亿人口、印-度（英）2亿人口、沙俄1.12亿、美利坚4600万（北3100万、南1500万）、德意志帝国4100万、日-本3700万、英国3600万、法兰西（北2100万、南1500万）、奥匈帝国3400万、意大利3300万、奥斯曼帝国3000万、西班牙2500万、荷兰2450万（白人，荷兰裔1600万，欧美白人移民及后代850万）、巴西帝国1400万、墨西哥1100万、高丽王国（韩）1000万、荷属东印度群岛及澳大利亚土著1000万……”

Cantur: "Your Majesty, based on the white population, we are ranked 13th in the world. There is only a difference of 50 people between Spain and Spain. According to the population growth rate of the two countries, it will take us at most two years to surpass each other and become the world's largest country. The 12th largest population base in the world. If we don’t count overseas and only count the 1000 million indigenous people in the East Indies and Australia itself, our population is 3450 million, ranking ninth, higher than the 3400 million of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. , only the 3600 million people in France and the United Kingdom are ahead. In the past ten or twenty years, we have transferred more than 20 million people from the Dutch East Indies and Australian Aboriginals to Africa. Otherwise, we would have more than 4500 million people living here. This is Second only to the ancient powers of the Far East, India (British), the Russian Empire, and the United States, it is still ranked fourth among Germany."

William IV smiled and said: "Yes, with such a huge population, we represent potential, but it is necessary to immigrate 1000 million indigenous people. Only when they arrive in Africa can we use them to balance the local black indigenous people. This is inevitable. step"

Cantur nodded and said: "Yes, Africa now has a population of 2500 million. The immigrant indigenous people plus the new-born population are almost balanced with the ruling black population, plus the 1000 people in the Dutch East Indies and Australia. There are 3500 million non-white people and 2450 million indigenous people. For our [-] million white people, the pressure is quite great."

William IV: "Britain governs 2 million people in India, 2000 million people in Bangladesh, Burma, the Malay Peninsula, and colonies in Africa and around the world. 3600 million British people rule over 3.5 million people in the world. Almost one British person controls 10 people. Colonize, absorb their resources and nutrients for our own use to strengthen ourselves, and maintain the world's largest navy. Therefore, with our population of 6000 million, it should actually be quite easy."

Cantur could only smile bitterly at this.

William IV: "Japan has been desperately absorbing technology from the United States and us for more than ten years, and has been fighting fiercely with Britain, so we need to pay attention to it. After all, the Pacific Ocean is so big. After Britain was driven away by us, the deep sea here is Our territory, I don’t want Japan to grow and take away what should belong to us.”

Cantur's eyes flashed and he asked, "What if they want to take it?"

William IV said firmly and coldly: "Since you dare to stretch out your hand to take our cake, then be prepared to have your arm cut off by us."
