Chapter 1254 Daming is an expert in archery (second update, please subscribe)
Why sacrifice a generation?

To put it mildly, sacrificing a generation is the price of rising, but why should Daming bear it?

Even if you have to bear it, you should let others die more.

It is the unchanging truth of this world that a fellow Taoist should die but not a poor one.

That night, Emperor Zhu suffered from insomnia!

At six o'clock in the morning, after washing up a bit and drinking a cup of cold water, Emperor Zhu ran for an hour in the imperial garden as usual, which was about ten kilometers. Habit.

After a simple breakfast, he starts to work, think, sometimes write, and sometimes chat with some ministers about work. This is his day's work.

The emperor's office - this is a large study room, the floor is covered with a thick and soft carpet made of alpaca wool by the Indians in the highlands of the Andes. There is a wide and long writing desk in the room, not far from the writing desk. Large globe placed only on a black wooden stand.

On the walls on both sides are bookcases full of books. Most of the time, Emperor Zhu prefers to read, which is why he chose to work here.Perhaps it was because of the time travel, after the time travel, Emperor Zhu had the ability to instantly remember the contents of the books he had read, and he could even remember word by word.

This is definitely an enviable ability.

Reading and flipping through various documents including daily intelligence consultation is his job, but outside of work, Emperor Zhu also needs to consider various affairs of the whole country, the Americas and even the whole world.

Of course, what he needs to consider more is the future of the country.

After reading the document, Emperor Zhu, who had insomnia all night, called one of his attendants in and said to him.

"Let Qian Zizhuang come over."

Why is it called Qian Zizhuang?

To put it bluntly, it was because a generation of Ming youths could not be shed blood!

Why should the young people of Ming Dynasty bleed!
"Before our Ming people bleed, let the British bleed first!"

After Qian Zizhuang arrived, Emperor Zhu said directly.

"Now, according to all sources of intelligence, the road to war is inevitable. What is the only question?"

Staring at Qian Zizhuang, Emperor Zhu said.

"The only question is, in future wars, should we shed more blood, or let our enemies shed more blood!"

In Emperor Zhu's cognition, or after the simulation decades ago, there is only one principle in his heart, which is to let the enemy bleed. Bloodshed, after all, is precious to Ming's population.

"Can the Southern Africa plan be implemented?"

Looking at Qian Zizhuang, Emperor Zhu asked.

"Your Majesty, the time is ripe for the implementation of this plan. The only question is whether the British will take the bait."

Qian Zizhuang thought for a while, then said.

"However, whether they will take the bait or not, we will guarantee that they will, just like we have done before in southern Africa!"

Southern Africa!

It is simply the blessed land of the investigation department!

It's not just a blessed place, it's a place where gold is sprayed.

It doesn't matter whether the British made money there, what is important is that the investigation department made a lot of money there.During the first gold rush in southern Africa—that is, before the Barberton Gold Rush bubble burst, the investigation department used dozens of leather bag companies to purchase a large amount of land in the White Water Ridge area, and then in the second wave of gold rush, also After the Baishuiling Gold Rush, the land that was worthless at the beginning became a sweet pastry.

Selling the land is just an investment for the investigation department to make a profit.More profit came from his subsequent financial speculation, where, unlike previous discoveries, the gold deposits were not found in quartz gravels, but in sedimentary layers of terzoconglomerate.That kind of stone is very hard.Despite this, the gold diggers who came from all corners of South Africa still got the gold out. In 1885, although the entire Whitewater Ridge only mined less than 30 pounds of gold, it was already shocking.

Although the speed of mining gold was too slow, it did not delay the purchase of land, and various companies emerged one after another. Those listed companies attracted capital from the entire colony and overseas, and the second southern African gold rush happened again.

However, just like the first gold rush, soon, as the gold mines on the surface were exhausted, not only the stones became harder, but also the grade of gold continued to decline as the surface gold mines went down. has fallen to the point where it cannot be extracted.After the news came out, the second southern African gold rush shattered again, hundreds of listed companies went bankrupt successively, and the financial circles in Cape Town and the United Kingdom lost more than [-] million pounds.

It is conceivable that the "investors" of the investigation department made profits through the ups and downs of the gold rush. Through multiple speculations in the gold rush, the investigation department earned tens of millions of pounds!

For the investigation department... that place is definitely a rich place among the blessed places!
"Then think of a way, use their money to bleed their blood!"

After a pause, Emperor Zhu said,

"In the days to come, what we need is to let out as much blood as possible, to let out the blood of the British Empire! This blood is not just money, but wealth and life!"

Smiling coldly, Emperor Zhu said in a cold tone.

"The Transvaal authorities, that is, the Boers, they will certainly not stand by and watch the wealth of the gold mines being usurped by the British. Perhaps the profits and taxes from the gold mines have allowed the economy of the Transvaal Republic to develop rapidly, But at the same time, it is bound to intensify friction with the UK, and even spark conflicts, and all we need to do is to speed up the process."

Why speed up the process?
Emperor Zhu's idea is very simple-to completely put the blood of Britain before the war comes.

It is better to fight a weak British Empire than a prosperous British Empire, and the only way to make a prosperous British Empire weak is to bleed, and by supporting the Devasland government, it is to provoke the Bourgess. War is undoubtedly the best choice.

"Your Majesty, this is not a problem. The conflicts and contradictions between the Boers and the British are deeply rooted. Although the conflict of interest in the Rand Gold Mine has not yet broken out, with the increase in gold mine production, conflicts are bound to happen." It will happen again, and I have a way to intensify the conflict between the two parties!"

Shaking his head, Emperor Zhu said.

"What I want is not just conflict! It's war...a war that can weaken Britain!"

Not just nerfing the british blood out there if possible.

In another world, the Boer War cost Britain hundreds of millions of pounds of wealth, but did not leave Britain with much blood.

In this world Ming must turn the Boer War into a blood-drawing machine.Their blood was continuously drawn from Britain, their lives were consumed, and the land of wealth in southern Africa was taken away.become a land of death.

Regarding this point, Emperor Zhu was still very confident.After all, the Boer Republic borders on the territory of the Ming Colony.

Arching the fire is also an expert, but before the arching the fire must be lit first!
