Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne

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 we were driven out of South America in Chile, we increased our influence in Argentina. But that all takes time."

"The current situation in Europe is far away from Western and Central Europe. The Polish and Lithuanians revolted against the rule of Tsarist Russia some time ago. We took advantage of the threat of war and the chaotic situation to migrate nearly 100,000 people. It seems that we are the biggest winner, but the British gains are not No less than us, they persuaded the richest Poles and Lithuanians in Tsarist Russia to come to London.

They and we used the model of quality over quantity and secretly defeated us. However, because of the number of 100,000, 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.

The ancient great country in the Far East has a population of 300 million, India (British) has a population of 200 million, Tsarist Russia has a population of 112 million, the United States has a population of 46 million (31 million in the north and 15 million in the south), the German Empire has a population of 41 million, Japan has a population of 37 million, the United Kingdom has a population of 36 million, and France (21 million in the north, 15 million in the south), 34 million in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, 33 million in Italy, 30 million in the Ottoman Empire, 25 million in Spain, 24.5 million in the Netherlands (whites, 16 million people of Dutch descent, 8.5 million white European and American immigrants and their descendants), Brazil Empire 14 million, Mexico 11 million, Koryo Kingdom (Korea) 10 million, Dutch East Indies and Australian Aboriginals 10 million..."

Cantur: "Your Majesty, based on the white population, we are ranked 13th in the world. There is only a difference of 500,000 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 10 million indigenous people in the East Indies and Australia itself, our population is 34.5 million, ranking ninth, higher than the 34 million of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. , only the 36 million people in France and the United Kingdom are ahead. In the past ten or twenty years, we have transferred more than 10 million people from the Dutch East Indies and Australian Aboriginals to Africa. Otherwise, we would have more than 45 million people living here. This is But it ranks fourth after the ancient powers of the Far East, India (British), the Russian Empire, the United States, and Germany."

William IV smiled and said: "Yes, with such a huge population, we represent potential, but it is necessary to immigrate 10 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 25 million. The immigrant indigenous people plus the new-born population are almost balanced with the ruling black population, plus the 1,000 people in the Dutch East Indies and Australia. There are 35 million non-white people and 35 million indigenous people. For our 24.5 million white people, the pressure is quite great."

William IV: "Britain governs 200 million people in India, 20 million people in Bangladesh, Burma, the Malay Peninsula, and colonies in Africa and around the world. 36 million British people rule over 350 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 60 million, it should actually be quite easy."

Cantur could only smile bitterly at this.

William IV: "Japan has been desperately absorbing the technology of the United States and ours for more than ten years, and has been fighting fiercely with the United Kingdom, so we need to pay attention to it. After all, the Pacific Ocean is so big. After the United Kingdom 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."
