Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 733 Building a Base in Southeast Asia
After discussing how to deal with a possible retaliatory attack by the Spaniards, the topic then turned to other matters related to Luzon.

Feeling that later generations of China suffered a great loss in terms of cultural export, Zhu Youjian emphasized the significance and importance of the external radiation of Chinese civilization, and decided to use Luzon as a pilot to fully promote Chinese civilization in South Asia, allowing many countries to live in the world. Generations have been bathed in the glory of Han civilization.

"My dear friends, if we want our brilliant Chinese civilization to shine in the world, then the first thing we need to do is to popularize characters. Only by enlightening the wisdom of thousands of people in all countries, we can take pride in knowing Chinese characters, reading Chinese books, and wearing Chinese clothes. If things go on like this, most people in the world regard our Chinese civilization as the suzerain, so that we can live up to the teachings and visions of the sages of the past dynasties!

This is teaching without class!

In the future, the election of the Luzon king should be based on the above criteria, and those who do not meet the conditions will not be selected!
As for how to popularize our Chinese civilization in Luzon, the cabinet can consider and implement it from many aspects! "

What Zhu Youjian hopes to see is that the entire Southeast Asian region will form a huge Confucian cultural circle in later generations, and all the additional attributes brought by other languages ​​such as Yingyu and Manyu will be excluded (excellent and advanced are not included), and Southeast Asian countries All countries respect China as the suzerain and enjoy the dividends they deserve during the strong economic development of the suzerain.

Of course, dividends are not enjoyed in vain.During this period, countries should contribute different resources to support the economic construction of the suzerain country, and then feed back the countries and their people after the suzerain country is completely strong.

Get rich first and get rich later.

Southeast Asia is now full of small countries. Due to the unique natural conditions and environment, as long as advanced civilizations lend a helping hand to guide them, the people of these countries can easily live comfortably.

Three-cropping fields per year are spread all over South Asia. The current situation is that as long as the few indigenous people in various places sprinkle some seeds at will, they will completely let them go. Within a few months, the heavy ears of rice will bend the branches Head, the natives only need to use tools to harvest.

In many countries such as Cochin, Siam, Chenla, Champa, etc., the agricultural farming technology is actually very backward, but the land under their feet can be high-yield without careful service. But compared with what we have gained, the vast land of South Asia is really too fat.

"According to the report issued by the North Sea Fleet, there are three Spanish gunboats permanently stationed in the Port of Manila, two of which have gone to South America.

Both of these two gunboats were loaded with silk and porcelain produced by our Ming Dynasty, and went to Mexico and Chile for trade. After that, silver was transported from the above two countries to buy our output from our Ming Dynasty.

The other ship was sent by the governor's office in Manila to come to Macau, Ming Dynasty, in order to test the reality of our direction's movements in the name of apologizing as an envoy.

The cabinet can send someone to declare its awareness of the Manila battle, urge it to return to Manila, and then send its pseudo-governor and others back to Spain! "

For the perpetrators and participants of the massacre, Zhu Youjian will never let go and forgive, but for other Spaniards who did not participate in it, Zhu Youjian adopted a method that is widely recognized and accepted by later generations to release them back to China .

This is also a measure taken to leave a good impression on the more and more exchanges between Ming and Europe in the future.

This move can show Europeans that war is a game between the armies of both sides, and the rights of civilians and other innocent people should be protected and respected.

A powerful military does not mean that life can be regarded as an ant. All anti-human behaviors should be cast aside. Da Ming wants to be the leader of the civilized world, not the breaker of the rules.

In addition to those who had nothing to do with the massacre in the capital of Manila, Spanish soldiers who were defeated and captured will also be screened and treated. All military academy soldiers who have the blood of Ming immigrants on their hands will be prosecuted and executed for war crimes, and other soldiers will also be punished. was cast back home.

As for the aborigines and personnel from other countries who participated in the massacre, all those who had their lives were executed, and those who took advantage of the chaos and took the opportunity to rob the property of Daming immigrants in Bali'an City would be sentenced to imprisonment and hard labor.

"I estimate that there were still disputes in Spain about whether to send troops to attack our Ming Dynasty, but as long as the news of the fall of Manila is reported back to Spain, the use of force is inevitable.

However, because the distance is too far away, it will take a long time to go back and forth, that is to say, this war will not happen for at least one to two years.

After the cabinet formulates the relevant strategies as soon as possible, it must select capable officials to go to Manila to organize and coordinate local production activities, so that the resources of Luzon can be used by me as soon as possible. "

In Zhu Youjian's plan, in addition to mineral resources, the future Luzon and South Asian countries will also become the main supply of miscellaneous grains for Ming Dynasty.

The arable land in Daming will be mainly planted with rations such as wheat, corn, and rice. After the rations are self-sufficient in advance, the planting of cash crops such as corn, cotton, soybeans, and peanuts will be promoted to increase the family income of farmers.

In this process, Southeast Asia will take on the task of supplying miscellaneous grains needed by Daming.

After several years of high investment, and with the gradual completion of water conservancy facilities in various places, the goal of self-sufficiency in food in Daming is being fully realized. It is estimated that it will take at most two years before the food crisis in Daming will be completely eliminated.

However, rations alone are not enough. In order to comprehensively improve the quality of life of the people of Ming Dynasty, the animal husbandry and breeding industry must be vigorously developed. Many non-staple foods such as meat, eggs, milk, aquatic products, and vegetable oil, which are very common in later generations, still belong to the current Ming Dynasty. Luxury.

Due to the lack of many non-staple foods with rich varieties, the people of Ming Dynasty generally suffer from malnutrition, which is not a very good thing for the reproduction and development of the entire nation.

The great development of animal husbandry and aquaculture is mainly due to the unlimited supply of corn, soybeans and other miscellaneous grains.

Take soybeans, for example.

Soybean is one of the few high-quality protein among plant foods, and it is a kind of food with relatively rich content. Proper intake of soybean can provide the body with rich protein, with a content of about 35%.

Eating beans regularly can improve immunity, receptor tissue and other functions, because after all, there are high-quality protein supplements in it.

At the same time, soybeans are also rich in calcium, so beans and soy products are very important sources of calcium. Eating beans regularly can also strengthen bones. Soybeans also contain plants and chemicals, such as soy isoflavones, which are similar to estrogen It has a certain effect on regulating the metabolism of women.

Soy can be said to be an important source of very good high-quality protein, calcium and phytochemicals among plant foods.

And the bean cake after soybean oil extraction is also a rare treasure.

Bean cakes can be fed to cattle, horses, sheep, etc., and can also be used as fertilizer to fertilize crops and fruiting trees to nourish fruits and have great utilization value.

This is why Zhu Youjian repeatedly mentioned planting soybeans outside the customs.

Due to various conditions, the development of land outside the customs has just started. With the arrival of a large number of immigrants, the ration problem has become the top priority. As for the planting and production of miscellaneous grains, it will be delayed. At least within three years, large-scale planting Soy is unrealistic.

However, in order to vigorously develop animal husbandry, the required miscellaneous grains must have a production base, and Southeast Asia has become the first choice.

　Thanks to Lan Shuyue for the reward.
