The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

Hot recommendation:

If political consultation and military offensive are the short- and medium-term strategies to solve the ethnic problems in Myanmar, then the strategic thinking proposed by Mr. David is long-term.

The core of his plan is the "protracted war", yes, it is a protracted war, ten years to annex a region, after it is stabilized, and then the next, it will eat away bit by bit until the end.

At the same time, developing the economy, building transportation and water conservancy, persevering, and finally solving the Burmese ethnic problem is a very safe tactic. This is a grand strategy!

However, the generals think that this policy should not be told to the Burmese people, after all, we are not here to really learn from Uncle Lei.

Mr. David smiled and said, "It's okay to tell the Burmese people!"

In his opinion, how can the Burmese people have any connotations that they can complete a strategy that lasts for decades or even a century?

Don't even think about it!

"Nevertheless, don't say it!" Yan Changwu said in a final word.

"The minister abides by the order!" Mr. David replied. After he perfected the strategy of political consultation and military offensive with others, he said it when meeting with senior Burmese officials, and they forwarded it to the Burmese king Baimang.

After listening to the report, Bai Mang pondered over and over, and finally adopted it. This is something to follow.

The two countries signed the "Treaty of Good-neighborliness, Friendship and Cooperation between Daming and Myanmar" to strengthen comprehensive exchanges in economic, political and cultural fields.

…

At this point, Yan Changwu wore the vest of the Southeast King of Ming Dynasty, and the diplomatic visit on behalf of Ming Dynasty was completed, and he was ready to return to the Rising Sun City in South China.

But before that, he put on the military uniform of the Grand Marshal of the South China Empire, changed to a royal yacht, and inspected South China Sumatra on the way back as the Emperor of the South China Empire.

The South China Empire is a "country of ten thousand islands", consisting of nearly 20,000 islands, of which Sumatra covers an area of ​​470,000 square kilometers, and is the sixth largest island in the world, and the first largest island in South China (Turbo-Australia is the mainland, not counting Island), however, it is not the most populous place in South China.

Sumatra’s geographical location is actually better than that of the main island of South China, Java Island. It is closer to the mainland and next to the Strait of Malacca.

Yan Changwu was sitting on the Royal Yacht "Navy One". It was said that it was a yacht, but in fact it was a modification of a cruise ship. It was mainly without artillery and ammunition. It was fast and well-equipped. The crew were all Hokkien, loyal and well-trained. .

Looking at the lush large island that is getting closer and closer, Yan Changwu’s message of Sumatra popped up in his mind: “The Barisan Mountains traverse the island, and volcanoes are distributed on this long and narrow mountain range. Sumatra Island presents the characteristics of high in the northwest and low in the southeast. The mountains in the northwest corner are vertical and horizontal and the terrain is rugged."

The number of active volcanoes in Sumatra is second only to Java. The island’s annual average temperature is around 30°C and annual rainfall is as high as 2000 mm. The dense rain forest under the tropical rain forest climate further obstructs land traffic across the island.

To the east of the mountain range, the terrain is gradually flat, and many rivers with huge water volume carry the silt downstream, and deposits form a vast plain. However, the porosity of the volcanic ash soil is relatively high, it is easy to become wet and heavy, and even gradually become swamps and lakes, which is not conducive to downstream traffic and the formation of good harbors.

Eastern Sumatra is a huge peat swamp forest area, the thickness of peat can reach 50cm.

The vertical and horizontal water network, hot climate, and dense jungles make this tropical infectious diseases such as dengue fever, typhoid fever, malaria, and dysentery rampant. This is not conducive to development and construction for a long time. There are still many tropical rainforests that humans don’t understand. Microorganisms, rushing forward, may bring out some new infectious diseases.

In fact, in the previous development, many people were infected with diseases and the environment was too harsh, which caused the long-term development of Sumatra to lag behind.

Frequent geological activities not only bring about geological disasters that occur from time to time, but also bring rich gifts. The volcanic ash of the geological age gradually deposited and became a fertile volcanic ash soil rich in minerals. In addition, the large area has made great achievements in the development of agriculture and planting.

Tin ore and gold are hidden in the Barisan Mountains. The dense forests of the geological age have buried half of Indonesia’s coal mines under Sumatra, and there is a large amount of natural gas in the sea—not to mention that the concept of "natural gas" is advanced, it is the continuous gas that is emitted from the sea, which can be burnt when collected. This information As soon as I reported to Yan Changwu, I knew it was natural gas.

There is so much natural gas leaking out of the seabed, in the words of experts, "It seems that many people put P under the water, so that countless strings of air bubbles rise in the water!"

In contrast, compared with Sumatra, Java has a certain geographical advantage. The tropical rainforest climate here is actually not so typical compared to Sumatra Island. It is similar to the transition zone between tropical rainforest climate and tropical monsoon climate. The rainfall is not as large as Sumatra Island---high rainfall can easily cause flash floods, river rises and swamps. .

The low rainfall causes the density of the rainforest to be not so high, and the development difficulty is naturally lower. In addition, the volcanoes in Java are more densely distributed, and the soil around the volcanoes is more fertile.

Therefore, the island of Java is densely populated and prosperous. Initially immigrated to the island of Java, a small area can be divided into 100 acres or even more. Later, less and less land can be divided, from 50 acres per capita to 30 acres per capita. Now the new immigrants to Java are nowhere to be separated!

Facing signs of overpopulation on Java Island, in order to relieve the population pressure on Java Island, strengthen territorial control and create new economic growth points, Yan Changwu decided to take a number of measures to accelerate the development of Sumatra Island.

Therefore, he went to Sumatra Island for a special trip. The entourage was extremely nervous, and the fragrant wind was lingering along the way. In order to drive away the mosquitoes, the entourage used a lot of perfumes and insect repellents to prevent the malaria mosquitoes from attacking the emperor. The smell is so strong that it can faint people!

Mr. David, the minister of the car, is a person who knows things well. He insisted that the emperor and everyone follow his instructions and build a chemical mosquito barrier. In addition to burning incense with a tripod, everyone should wear dense clothes. , The dewy skin ensures that mosquitoes retreat to them.

This trick was quite effective. None of the personnel inspected with Yan Changwu had contracted the disease, and the only disadvantage was that some people had rhinitis.

After patrolling around, Yan Changwu wrote a paper by Mr. David and decided to establish a special development fund for Sumatra. The new immigrants are basically sent to Sumatra. The population distribution of immigrants must be balanced, and the population must not be concentrated in large cities. It is necessary to develop , We must also pay attention to protecting the natural world, as well as beware of pollution and other measures.

Mr. David said: "The country needs people to develop mountain forests, but how many people still want to farm? And the efficiency of large estates is better than doing it alone!"

His words made the Chinese Eight Elementary School attendants and Indians rich. The Southern China Empire increased the number of foreign labor visas by 200,000 in one year, and concentrated more foreign labor to develop Sumatra.

Anyway, shortly after Yan Changwu returned to China, measures to further develop the island of Sumatra were implemented, and the vigorous development began!

Naturally, a large amount of funds and manpower were invested, and Sumatra became a new economic growth point of the South China Empire!
