Chapter 351: The Distressed Brothers of the Qing Dynasty(1/2)
After Louis XVI left, Zhu Jinsong couldn't help but sigh slightly.
From ambitiously preparing to kill Ottoman at the beginning, holding the entire oil barrel of the small broken ball in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, and now that he has to change to a concession area, Zhu Jinsong's heart feels like he is trampled by 100,000 alpacas in his heart It's just as messy.
Plans never change quickly.
No one expected that George III would take the initiative to transfer India to the Ming Dynasty.
No one could have thought that Louis XVI would actually sell Louisiana to the Ming Dynasty.
If the Ottoman is taken down, the territory of the Ming Dynasty will be unprecedentedly huge. In order to effectively occupy these territories, the Ming Dynasty must migrate to these territories to achieve the effect of effective occupation. The number of people migrating will not To say 100 million, at least tens of millions, right?
However, the key to the problem is that the population density of the Ming Dynasty is now in a state of wide and sparsely populated state. If tens of millions of people are migrated to these territories, the population density of the Ming Dynasty will further decline, but these newly occupied territories The population density is not much higher.
Then there will be a lot of chain reactions.
Should the army be stationed? If it is stationed, how many troops will be stationed? Should it reduce the number of troops in the Ming Dynasty or recruit new troops? If it is reduced, will it bring risks to the security of the Ming Dynasty? If it is recruited, The army, can the number of current people in the Ming Dynasty bear the sudden increase of hundreds of thousands of troops? Will the financial plan of the Ministry of Revenue be adjusted? Will the engineering plan of the Ministry of Works also need to be adjusted?
The messy problems combined together forced Zhu Jinsong to suspend his military plans against the Ottomans.
It is precisely because of this that Zhu Jinsong developed the gameplay in the concession, and he used the slogan of venting his anger for Louis XVI and the others, and they felt that following the big brother of Ming Dynasty, he could get benefits, and Ming Dynasty also did not. It will lose half a penny of the profit.
Of course, there may not be any lack of Zhu Jinsong's selfishness. After all, the countries that created the concession in Zhongyuan Tangkou included several countries controlled by the Habsburg family. Bayi Chinese website
As for the Ottoman...
Zhu Jinsong sometimes couldn't help but complain that Qian Deaf Old Dog obviously should not be a pen pal for Louis XVI, but Ottoman Sudan and Selim III were a pen pal.
The Ottomans existed from the early 14th century to the early 20th century, spanning more than 600 years of the Ming and Qing dynasties. The territory reached 5.5 million square kilometers during the largest period, spanning the three continents of Asia, Africa and Europe. It was also one of the powerful countries in the small-scale field.
Unfortunately, Ottoman and the Halal are a pair of brothers in distress
The Qing Dynasty was a filial son of Chengliang who was rebelling against his lords, while the Ottomans were divided from the Roma Sultanate, which was defeated by Mongolia during the third Western Expedition;
The Qing Dynasty was swept the cave by Emperor Chenghua, and almost destroyed the clan and the race. Ottoman was beaten by the lame Timur to almost destroy the country. If it weren't for the lame Timur's head being crazy, he would have planned to fight with the Ming Dynasty. I was afraid that Ottoman would have sang coldly long ago;
The Qing Dynasty was called the sick husband of East Asia, while O'Otman was the famous sick husband of Europa;
The Qing Dynasty was beaten to the land and cedeed to compensation by the great powers, and the Ottoman was also beaten to the mutilation of the great powers;
The Qing Dynasty had conducted the Westernization Movement before Liangliang, and the Ottoman also held the Europa movement when he was on the decline. The Ottoman Sudan Selim III designed a package of reform plans for the entire country, including diplomacy, education, taxation, and
Local management and other areas are fully aligned with Europe;
The Westernization Movement of the Qing Dynasty failed, and the Ottoman Europa Movement was doomed to fail from the beginning. In order to restore its former status and style, the Ottoman court headed by Sudan first thought of military reform, but the problem lies in the military.
In terms of reform.
The conservatives wanted to return to the ancient Ottoman military tradition, believing that only in this way could the Ottoman Empire be revived, while the centrists only hoped to learn Europa's military technology and did not require reform in other aspects, while Selim III hoped to carry out a thorough reform.
It is believed that the current army has no value for reform and needs to start a new foundation.
In fact, just as the Qing Dynasty held the Westernization Games and affected the interests of the Eight Banners men, the Ottoman Sudan Selim III's attempt to carry out the Europa movement also affected the interests of the old Ottoman nobles and the Imperial Guards.
As the saying goes, cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents, so Selim III's Europa movement also failed.
Of course, the Ottomans were not exactly as useless as the Qing Dynasty.
As we all know, the twelve wise lords of the Qing Dynasty were completely blown by Baoyi Aha and others, but they were actually little spicy chickens who cede land and pay compensation from generation to generation. It would be fine if they could not defeat the great powers in the late stage, but the problem was that they were very special in the early stage.
It can't beat Myanmar, and it can even be exported by a small country like Nippole and garrisoned by Wusizang.
Compared with the Qing Dynasty, the Ottoman monarch was very different.
Starting from the fourth Ottoman Sudan Bayezid I, the Ottoman Sudans would kill all their brothers immediately after ascending the throne to prevent them from usurping the throne. In 1444, the ninth year of the orthodox period of the Ming Dynasty, the seventh Ottoman was the first to be the first Ottoman.
Sudan Murad II fixed the matter of killing his own brothers and sisters after ascending the throne and became law, and named it "Parent Killing Law".
Murad II's reason is: "Any one of my sons, chosen by Allah, was appropriate for him to kill his brothers for a better world order. If he wanted to become an Ottoman monarch, it would be inevitable.
We must work hard to govern, be virtuous and ruthless towards our enemies, lead our subjects to prosperity and prosperity, and be well aware of the importance of national survival. Those weak and incompetent wine bags cannot control the huge power and the future of the country at all, and only bloody
The killing can eliminate them."
Murad II was not just talking, but really did his best to do it. After confirming his heir, Murad II really killed dozens of his sons and daughters.
After that, this law was recorded in the "Legal Book of Muhammad II", and Sudan, who followed him, also used this as a basis to kill all his brothers after he ascended the throne.
Of course, Sudans have many wives who have problems with the "parent killing method". Once there are more wives, they will have more sons, but Sudan has only one place.
Therefore, as long as Lao Sudan decides who the new heir is, the other princes will be in panic all day long. Many princes think that after New Sudan ascends the throne, they will die. It is better to think of a way before Ya ascends the throne.
If you kill him, you may have a chance to survive.
So when the ninth emperor Selim I was in power, a new "parent-killing method" appeared: not only did the ascension of the new Sudan have to execute all his brothers, but Lao Sudan must also take the lead after choosing a prince as his heir.
Kill all the other princes.
Selim I also practiced his own actions like Murad II. After he ascended the throne, he first implemented the "parent-killing law" established by his grandfather Mohamed II. He sent troops to chase and suppress the remaining male members of the royal family and killed his brother Kaulkud and the Five.
A nephew.
Later, after Selim I chose his son Suleiman as his heir, he killed all his other biological sons, and even his youngest son who could not walk was executed, killing more than 20.
For this reason, Selim I also said: "A carpet is enough for two Sufi believers to live in, but this world is so small that it cannot accommodate two Sudans!"
As the saying goes, if people are not cruel and cannot stand firm, the Ottoman Sudans are not only cruel enough to the royal family, but also to the nobles of the Ottoman Empire.
When the Ottomans first started, it was an era of strong people with strong people, including Zhu Yuanzhang, Timur, etc., as well as powerful countries such as the Ming Dynasty, the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Byzantine and Seljuk.
To make the Ottoman stronger, you must be ruthless enough.
Sudans and others discovered that what really caused the Mongolian golden family to decline was not the enemy, but the internal struggle for power and profit.
For this reason, Sudans not only had to kill their children, but also restricted the rights of the nobles to not get married or have children. This is a provision for the Ottoman Imperial Guards, and the nobles could not be inherited. Can they inherit the title?
It depends on whether there is any contribution in the class.
It can be said that Sudan, who can stand out in this cruel environment, is much more reliable than the princes of the Qing Dynasty. After all, if you fail, you will have to fight for the kingdom. No one dares to be careless at all. The Ottoman generals
They are also stronger and more fierce than the Eight Banners men of the Qing Dynasty.
On the contrary, the princes of the Qing Dynasty were very bad. The so-called Nine Sons Fighting for the Throne sounded awesome, but the losers might not necessarily die. Especially after the gameplay of the will of the plaque came out, the princes of the Qing Dynasty became even more
There is no need to fight anymore. All they have to do is to gain the favor and recognition of the previous generation of slave chiefs.
Not to mention the Eight Banners, the four words "hard-core crops" are enough to explain everything.
For example, what is funny is that the Qing Dynasty was destroyed by the slave chiefs and the Eight Banners, and the Ottoman almost also destroyed by Sudan and the Imperial Guards.
The Ottoman's "parent killing order" was not terminated until 1603, the 31st year of Wanli, when Ahmed I ascended the throne. It was from this time that the Ottoman slowly began to go downhill, and later even more
Just like the Qing Dynasty, he was beaten up by the European powers.
The final outcome of Ottoman was even worse than that of the Qing Dynasty. After all, he could never be sewn again after being dismembered.
Because the Qing Dynasty was a kind of back garden for the European powers that were arbitrarily sought, the great powers did not intend to kill the Qing Dynasty. Instead, they needed a middleman like the Qing Dynasty to seize the benefits of the Central Plains Hall. After all, there were so many
The great powers were also worried that a different court would affect the implementation of those treaties.
The Ottoman belongs to the kind of thorns in the eye and flesh that must be killed. First of all, the Ottoman did not have that great value for the great powers, and secondly, the Ottoman geographical location.
As a powerful country spanning the continent of Asia, Europe and Africa, no one of the powerful Europa would want to see a complete and powerful Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Empire also always wants to expand to Europa and participate in Europa many times.
The war has caused irreconcilable contradictions between the two sides.
The main reason is that the beliefs of both parties are, and they all understand them.
Of course, Zhu Jinsong did not care about the Ottoman's beliefs, nor how far the Ottoman's downhill had gone. He was just salivating at the Ottoman oil, but because the Ming Dynasty really couldn't actually occupy it.
That's why I chose the Concession gameplay.
To put it bluntly, the Ming Dynasty's current comprehensive strength has expanded to its peak, which is not enough to support the Ming Dynasty to expand into the Ottoman again. It is better to use the concession gameplay to seize Ottoman oil for the Ming Dynasty to use it.
After sitting on the chair and thinking for a while, Zhu Jinsong simply called Zeng Cheng and other big bosses over.
When Zeng Cheng and others arrived in the palace, Zhu Jinsong said straight to the point: "Louis XVI has already done it, and there should be no problem with George III and Paul I, Jefferson and others."
"In other words, in addition to the matter of King Qin and King Jin going to sea to take vassals, we are more important in the Ottoman Concession. If we solve the problem of the Ottoman Concession, we will only have the problem of the number of people in our Ming Dynasty.
.”
As soon as he heard the four words of the number of people, Zeng Cheng and Liu Huaiwen and other bigwigs turned their faces down.
These four words are mentioned every year, and every month has almost become the most concerned and troublesome problem in the Ming Dynasty. The people are leeks, and they can be cut one after another, but the people are not leeks, so they cannot
One by one.
At least, the growth cycle of the people is much slower than that of the leeks. In less than a few decades, the population cannot develop at all.
Fortunately, in a few years, the Ming Dynasty will usher in the first large population explosion. Since the beginning of the 50th year of the Great Qingliang and Qiandian, the living conditions of the people in Zhongyuan Hall have ushered in a qualitative leap.
The number of childbirth also increased sharply, and the Ming Dynasty court vigorously encouraged childbirth in the next ten years, and it has been more than ten years now.
According to the Ming Dynasty's law, the number of Dingkou in the Ming Dynasty will surge in a few years.
If the Ming Dynasty court headed by Zhu Jinsong was willing to be more patient and wait for another thirty years, I am afraid that the population of the Ming Dynasty would really double.
From a population of 400 million to a population of 600 million, Zhu Jinsong has enough confidence to stabilize the existing territory; if the population of 400 million to a population of 800 million, Zhu Jinsong has enough confidence to take over the entire Ottoman.
If it can grow to more than one billion...
It’s a bit a bit of a treacherous marching into space, but Zhu Jinsong dares to rename the small break ball to a pigpen!
Because, the people who grew up after Qian Dian fifty years have always listened to "One day in Qian Dian forty-eight years, His Majesty the Emperor led people to pass by Xiao Xuzhuang..." Those who grew up all listened to "Young man"
