Chapter 1419 Disintegration of the first step in the west (third update, please subscribe)
Follow the trend!

If there is no trend to follow, then take advantage of the trend, or build up the trend to create momentum.

In a word, absolutely irreversible!

Standing on the shoulders of the giant of history, Emperor Zhu is very clear about the actions of "potential" in history. Potential seems to be illusory, but in fact, from a historical point of view, any country or power that goes against the trend will eventually be There is no escape from failure.

The most typical example is San Dezi, whose momentum was almost unstoppable when the war started, but then what?The shabby houses they talked about were almost kicked down, but because they looked down on the people in the shabby houses, they forcibly turned the people who used to welcome them into enemies.

and then?
Then there is no more.

"Potential" is a thing that needs to be borrowed and smoothed, and the key is to promote it.

"North America."

Emperor Zhu paused, staring at North America on the map and said.

"What worries me the most has never been the resistance of the US military. The US military... is not worth mentioning at all!"

This is no ego!
but self-confidence.

"Even if we put aside our superiority in weapons, in terms of training, our soldiers are trained more scientifically, and our morale is stronger. Even in terms of sacrifice, the US military is not as good as us. Therefore, the US military is nothing to be afraid of!"

After the confident words came out of Emperor Zhu's mouth, his words changed and he spoke directly.

"My biggest concern is the people. Whether the people welcome our occupation or resist our occupation is very critical. If they resist us, then we will have to face millions of Americans with arms—— You know, every household in the United States has guns, and they are all militiamen! They are guerrillas!"

When mentioning the guerrillas, Emperor Zhu frowned, how many seemingly invincible troops were tripped by the guerrillas.

From Napoleon's hatred of Spain, to Da Mao's departure from Afghanistan, and then to Midi fleeing Afghanistan in desperation.

"The guerrillas may seem inconspicuous, but they are slow knives, constantly bleeding on our bodies. If the Americans in the West and Central resist our occupation, then our railways will be destroyed in the future, and they will attack our army. , After our soldiers are left alone, they will also attack, which will deplete our wealth and morale little by little."

Referring to the role of guerrillas, Emperor Zhu thought for a while, and then said.

"Furthermore, after the war started, the resistance against us in the occupied area was also extremely fierce. From this, it can be seen that my initial worries were not superfluous."

"What your Majesty said is true. Based on the information I have learned from various sources, our army encountered widespread resistance after it invaded the United States. Most of this resistance was spontaneous resistance from the people. Almost every There are resistance forces in cities and towns."

Qian Degong thought for a while and said.

"In order to pacify the resistance, the military can only resort to thunderbolts. However, unless we can use the method of massacring the city to kill people like the Manchus, otherwise...it will be impossible to solve the problem."

Massacring the city... is unrealistic!
Even Emperor Zhu sent the Dongying soldiers to the United States, and did not point out that they slaughtered the city. Although it is not unacceptable to occasionally slaughter a village, if a city is really slaughtered, the image of the great Ming Empire will be destroyed. up.

Hey, the image of tallness that the empire has carefully built over the years has now become a burden instead.

Being the overlord is not easy...

In general, wanting to be a bitch and erect a torii is the most difficult thing in the world.

"It's impossible to massacre the city. The times have changed, and so have the methods. Hmm..."

After a pause, Emperor Zhu said.

"Violence doesn't work, so think of other ways!"

Other methods, in fact, after discovering that the resistance in the west was very strong, Emperor Zhu was thinking about how to disintegrate the resistance in the west and the center.

"Exempt the land tax!"

"what?"

Qian Degong didn't react for a while.

"Through radio, newspapers and other means, tell Americans that the Empire will exempt land taxes including property taxes!"

Emperor Zhu said directly about his "big killer",
"In the United States, for ordinary people, the biggest burden is the land tax including property tax. The Homestead Law in the United States seems to give the land to the people, so that they can get a large piece of land for only five dollars. But their houses need to pay property tax, and their land needs to pay land tax. For ordinary farmers, this is a heavy burden. Since it is a burden, we will exempt them!"

Midi will never generously give land to the people for free. Their "Household Law" seems to allow the people to own the land, but from the day they registered, the tax rate has been set according to the land price, and they need it every year. Pay land tax.If they do not pay, they will be prosecuted by the court. Of course, farmers will not wait until that day. They will mortgage a small piece of land to the bank, and then use the money to pay taxes. If the bank is in arrears, their land and houses It will be auctioned off at a low price, the house will be knocked down, and the fields will be reduced to his own.

"Farmers in the United States go bankrupt in many cases because they cannot afford land taxes including property taxes. After all, for farmers, as long as they have land, they will not starve to death. The problem is that in the United States, farmers only have Land, if they can’t pay taxes, they will go bankrupt!”

Emperor Zhu explained while talking about his idea.

"Of course, this tax exemption can be limited to one condition, that is, 50 acres, that is, the land granted by the Homestead Act, and the land of most American farmers is within 50 acres. Well, in this way, at least most of the ordinary Farmer."

"Your Majesty, once this strategy is adopted, most farmers will definitely become supporters of imperial rule. After all, Americans..."

Qian Degong said a little excitedly.

"There have never been any Americans in this world. They may be British, French, Germans, Russians, Swedes... As long as they are disintegrated and divided, the United States will cease to exist!"

Emperor Zhu nodded with a smile, and then said.

"The United States is a seam monster. What is the United States stitched together? I don't know for the time being, but what is certain is that at least for now, many westerners and central people don't think they are Americans. Maybe they won't support us right now. But we can at least give them a reason not to fight us."

Give them a reason not to resist!
This is enough, just like San Dezi in Ukraine, when they entered, there were really many ordinary people who welcomed San Dezi, thinking that they had liberated themselves from Da Mao, but they didn't think about it, San Dezi Zigan went too far than Da Mao, and the result can be imagined, the original welcome turned into a resistance army.

In fact, as long as San Dezi followed the public opinion and divided the collective farm, the situation would be completely different. San Dezi...was too confident in his own force.Conflicts should be prioritized, occupied first, consolidated, and then other things. Chickens want to kill chickens before they enter their cages. Let alone eat chickens, they can’t even eat eggs. The final result can only be chickens flying eggs.

Confidence is good, but not conceited.

Emperor Zhu was self-confident, but he was never conceited. Moreover, the small-agricultural west has only benefits and no harm to the rule of the empire.

After all, only the western part of the small peasant economy can absorb more immigrants, and these immigrants are of course not from Europe, but from China in the future.

Why should the North American continent belong to Europeans?

Why can't it be Chinese?

At present, there are only more than 1000 million Americans living in the west. As long as there is time, the future empire can completely turn that land into the Chinese nation by continuously importing immigrants.

In order to resettle immigrants, small farms are the best choice.

After explaining his vision for the west, Emperor Zhu asked again.

"What is the situation in France at present?"

The reason why Emperor Zhu asked this question is because...France is really broken.
