Chapter 210 The beginning of colonialism

With the establishment of Luzon Province, China and North Korea have completely embarked on the road of overseas expansion. Although this road is full of blood, and even can be said to be plunder and immoral behavior, Xiao Tianjian knows that this is an inevitable road for China to continue to stand on the top of the world in the future, and at any time Generation, expansion means slaughter and plunder. The essence of war is actually to obtain greater benefits. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Only the winner can write history!

If China misses this era, it will always miss this good opportunity. It can only become a powerful country in Asia, but it will not be one of the world powers in the future.

Therefore, he called the civil and military ministers many times to explain to them what colonialism is and what kind of benefits colonial action will bring to China. After several detailed explanations, the cabinet and the military have understood what colonialism is. Although this is in conflict with the learning of Chinese Confucianism, there is no doubt. No one can deny that this kind of colonialism can bring huge wealth and benefits to China and North Korea.

Due to Xiao Tianjian's imperceptibleness, now these ministers and military generals have gradually accepted Xiao Tianjian's idea, and their eyes began to become more distant, so they all agreed with Xiao Tianjian's plan for the future colonial road.

In addition, taking the road of colonization has another great benefit for China and North Korea, that is, through colonial immigration, China and North Korea can also completely solve the contradiction of domestic land from now on. The policy of restricting land mergers in China and North Korea now pursues in China is actually not a good policy, but in the short term. It can alleviate domestic class contradictions, but in the long run, it is not conducive to the development of social wealth.

Therefore, there must be a new way to solve this contradiction. It may not have been easy to find this solution on the road before, but now when the Dazhong Dynasty decides to take the road of colonialism, this contradiction can be resolved by seizing the colonies and acquiring new land.

Don't many landlords and rich people like to hoard land? Don't you like to do business? Previously, China and North Korea restricted their land annexation, so that there was no way out for the money in their hands, but for the colonial land, it was another thing.

As long as they have money, the Greater China and the Chinese DPRK can sell the land of the colonies to them, and there is no restriction on the area of land they buy. In this way, they can guide the rich people to expand in the colonies first. The Chinese businessmen who were close to overseas before are far from satisfying the control of the colonies by the Greater China and DPRK. Now by letting Domestic landlords and the rich class can accelerate domestic and overseas migration by purchasing land in overseas colonies.

Doing so can satisfy the desire of these landlords for land. In addition, it can also greatly strengthen the Chinese people's control over overseas colonies. Of course, it will certainly be opposed by the local indigenous people during this period, but this is nothing, as long as the Greater China and North Korea maintains a certain amount of force in the local area to protect the interests of immigrants. Yi, then you are not afraid of the local indigenous people.

Even after hundreds of years, there may be an independence movement in the colonies, but even so, after a large number of Chinese immigrants, these colonies cannot completely cut off their ties with China. This has been proved by the Western powers of later generations, especially the Commonwealth countries, which ensures that Britain's global Benefits.

So Xiao Tianjian will naturally not miss this great opportunity.

So after the Dazhong Army took control of Luzon, the colonial plan of Dazhong Dynasty began to be secretly formulated. At the same time, the court publicized in China through the China Monthly News. How fertile the land of Luzon seems to be full of gold everywhere, and there, there will be no longer be restrictions on the number of land purchased by landlords. Drum Encourage the rich class in China to buy land for reclamation.

Although Chinese people have a deep love for the land complex, although many people have learned such news, they did not take action immediately. Although many landlords feel that this is an opportunity, they dare not easily go so far away to buy land for a while because their hometown is difficult to give up their hometown.

However, there are also some visionary landlords, especially the landlord class in Fujian and Guangdong, who are more open-minded because of their long-term contact with maritime trade. These people immediately realized the huge benefits contained in it, so someone immediately ran to the government to sign up for Luzon to buy land.

Even if some rich people did not dare to take risks easily and went to Luzon in person, they also sent family members to Luzon to find out the situation and were ready to buy land at any time.

The new governor of Luzon naturally wanted to open up the situation quickly and came up with a set of preferential policies to promote Luzon's land, and even agreed to sell Luzon's land in installments.

The Chinese Monthly, as the mouthpiece of the imperial court, promoted it for a long time. Even Xiao Tianjian directly ordered the Haimao Group to transfer several large sea boats in Guangzhou and Quanzhou as passenger ships, opened a regular passenger route to Manila, and even exempted the shipping fees for immigrants to Luzon. On the way, he also mentioned Good catering services are provided to attract more Chinese to Luzon to invest in reclaimed land.

Even the Bank of China has taken the opportunity to set up a branch in Manila to provide low-interest loans for immigrants to purchase local land or set up factories.

Then Xiao Tianjian ordered Luzon Province to open a new school in the local area, promote Chinese, and force the children of local black monkeys to enter school and receive Chinese education. To put it bluntly, it is cultural aggression. In the long run, it will be completely Chineseized here one day.

After a series of measures, more and more Chinese people began to go to Luzon Province by boat. Although the development of Luzon Province will be a long process, this start is still quite good. The tenacity of the Chinese people will take root as long as they get there. It will take less than a few decades. Luzon The province will truly become a province of China and be thoroughly included in the system of Greater China.

In addition, Xiao Tianjian also came up with a way, that is, the troops stationed in Luzon Province. During their service, their families can also be sent to Luzon for resettlement. They are officially given land and houses are provided for them to settle down in the local area. After their service expires, everyone will directly give them locally. Their large amount of land is used for their old age. These garrisons will become the backbone of immigrants in the future, and they can also become local armed forces to protect their own villages and castles.

Just as Luzon Province was intensively promoting land development and immigration, the navy of Dazhong and North Korea did not stop, and their eyes quickly focused on Mancha, that is, Malacca.

During the Ming Dynasty, the Sultan of Malacca accepted the imperial edict of the Ming Dynasty as early as the Yongli Dynasty and formed a vassal relationship with the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, the Sultan also personally led personnel to Beijing to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty. When Zheng He went to the West, he also set up a base in Malacca as a material supply base for the fleet. But in 1511, the Portuguese invaded Malacca and occupied Malacca by force.

The king of Malacca also asked for help from the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty ignored it at that time, resulting in the occupation of Malacca by the Portuguese.

Just a few years ago, in the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, in the first year of the Tianyuan Dynasty, the Dutch defeated the Portuguese, captured Malacca, and made it a colony of the Dutch, echoing the Dutch headquarters in Asia, Batavia.

But the Dutch did not attach great importance to it and did not intend to develop it into a commercial port, just as a stronghold for them to control the Strait of Malacca.

However, Xiao Tianjian knows the importance of the Strait of Malacca for the Chinese people in the future. As long as most of China's maritime shipping passes through the Strait of Malacca, it is like the throat of the Chinese people. As long as it is slightly moved by the wind, it is equivalent to getting stuck in the neck of the Chinese people.

In this regard, the navy has also developed an intuitive and clear understanding of the importance of this place in recent years. Including the maritime trade group, they all believe that this place is very important to the Greater China and North Korea, and it is necessary to control it in the hands of the Greater China and the North Korea. Otherwise, the merchant ships of the Greater China and North Korea will go to the Indian Ocean and Africa. In the future, if you want to go to Europe, you have to pass through here. Nowadays, China and North Korea have a bad relationship with the Dutch, and the merchant ships belonging to the China and North Korea Sea Trade Group are easily attacked and looted by Dutch warships.

So if China and North Korea want to go to the world in the future, then the Strait of Malacca must be taken down.

So in the eighth year of Tianyuan, just after the end of the Battle of Manila, the Chinese and North Korean navy immediately began to make a new battle plan for the next attack on Malacca.

However, it is not very easy for China and North Korea to occupy Malacca. Even if the fleet starts from Guangzhou, the distance to Malacca is more than 7,000 miles. With the current sailing speed, it will take more than a month's voyage at the earliest.

On the way, fresh water and food supply should be carried out at least two or three times. In addition, the area around Malacca belongs to the Dutch's sphere of influence. The Dutch headquarters in Asia is located in Batavia, not far from Malacca. The strength is relatively strong, at least much stronger than their strength in Taiwan at the beginning. If the large, medium and Korean fleet will go directly. If you land in Malacca, the risk is relatively high.

The most important thing is that this expedition will definitely bring a considerable number of troops to land. If they go directly to Malacca, the seamen and army soldiers on the ship will not be able to rest and adapt at all, and they will immediately devote themselves to the battle, while the Dutch will wait for work and fight back on the spot, for the army of China and North Korea. For the team, it is very unfavorable.

Therefore, after consultation and deliberation between the naval department and the Sea Trade Group, it was agreed that if we want to successfully obtain Malacca, before the battle between Dazhong and North Korea, we must first obtain several footholds along the way as transit bases and supply points for the fleet.

In addition, near Malacca, we need to find a foothold for the large and medium-sized army fleets to rest and supplement, and then go straight into Malacca, seize the city of Malacca, and control the Strait of Malacca.
