Chapter 1130: Plan Ahead
"This America is really rich, and it took out 60 million francs at once."
The high windward is staggering.
"Sixty million francs for Louisian is definitely worth it for the United States, which is equivalent to doubling the size of the United States." A general said.
Zhu Sansi said: "The South of North America has always been relatively rich, but it is only rich, and the current United States is still very weak and has not built a strong enough army, and now the task of the Eastern Military Region is to take advantage of this opportunity to seize more land and wait for the opportunity to destroy it." “
Gao Yingfeng said loudly: "Commander, the soldiers are all waiting with their hands, as long as there is an order, Canada will be the empire." “
Zhu Sansi nodded, "From now on, we will rearm ourselves for war, and we will attack Canada in fifteen days." ”
"Yes, Commander!"
Yizhou.
Ye Qingyun hung up the phone, a smile appeared on his face, and it was the Emperor Xiao Ming who called him.
After he was transferred to the command of the Southwestern Army, he finally received his first assignment, which was to move south to occupy the East Indochina region of France.
At present, only East Indochina is still a European colony in the South Seas, and all other regions have been taken over by the empire and become overseas colonies of the empire.
As a result, East Indochina was not well placed on the map of the empire, and now the area labeled as a colony of France was about to change its name.
After being excited, Ye Qingyun immediately summoned his generals to deploy the matter of attacking East Indochina.
In November of the seventh year of the imperial calendar, Ye Qingyun led 40,000 southwestern troops to the south, and almost at the same time, Zhu Sansi launched an attack on the French colony of Canada.
After the war of India, the French power in East Indochina was already very weak, and the Southwest Army successively conquered the Indochina Peninsula where Annam, Laos, and Cambodia were located, and became the power to replace France in this region.
Zhu Sansi's attack was also surprisingly smooth, and after leaving Alaska, Zhu Sansi's army encountered very weak resistance, and most of the French army was transferred back home because of the civil war.
This created very favorable conditions for Zhu Sansi.
When the news of the victory came, the newspapers of the empire boiled, and the entire pages were filled with news of Canada and Indochina.
Some shrewd merchants can immediately plot to bring their goods into these areas.
The Imperial Study.
Xiao Ming marked the map of Indochina and Canada, and for him Indochina and Canada were in his pocket after the war in India.
He was just waiting for an opportunity, a chance for the Empire to acquire these two huge colonies at a small cost.
The French Civil War was an opportunity for the Empire, and Mi Zhu's return confirmed the current bad situation in France, and they simply could not take care of these two colonies.
"Your Majesty, this is another victory for the Empire, occupying Canada, and the territory of the Empire is a big circle." Qian Dafu said with a smile.
Xiao Ming nodded lightly, but he was thinking more than Qian Dafu, he said: "The territory is big, but how to control these colonies is the most troublesome at present, at present, many colonies are too far away from the empire, and I am afraid that these colonies will be in chaos in a few years." ”
"The emperor means that in the future, these colonies will also be independent from the empire like the United States?" Qian Dafu knows Xiao Ming's mind best.
"That's right, after all, a living example of America is right in front of you."
Xiao Ming's eyes are deep, and contemporary experience tells him that the colonization of the old empires is all independent, and with the progress of human civilization, the upsurge of national independence will inevitably rise in the world, which is an inevitable development trend of history.
Psychologically, he has accepted this, but emotionally he does not want to accept it.
Qian Dafu sighed slightly, he said: "The emperor's words are extreme, the current empire has spread the term colonial aristocracy, the imperial people who immigrated to the colony have become the first beneficiaries of the colony, and their children and grandchildren will benefit from the colony, in the long run, these immigrant imperial people will undoubtedly only regard the interests of the colony as their highest interests, once there is a conflict between the colony and the empire, they will inevitably choose to stand on the side of the colony, after all, they have nothing to worry about the empire itself." “
Xiao Ming laughed a few times, "You know a lot." ”
"The emperor praised it falsely, the old slave is just nonsense." Qian Dafu pretended to be confused again.
"You're right, from the very beginning of my decision to emigrate, I knew that I would have to face this problem sooner or later, so these days I have been thinking about how to prevent these colonies from becoming enemies like the United States of America from Britain in the future."
"So, the emperor already has a way?" Qian Dafu asked.
"There's no way." Xiao Ming was a little dejected, "But I can leave a royal imprint on these colonies, laying the foundation for them to be able to deal with common enemies together in the future." ”
After a pause, he said, "I am ready to hand over these colonies to my sons. ”
Qian Dafu was surprised when he heard this, "The emperor is ready to restart the sub-feudal system?" ”
Xiao Ming shook his head, "Yes yes, yes no, no, this colony always needs to send a governor to manage it, rather than that, it is better to let my sons be the first governor, and whether they can be hereditary governors in the future depends on their own ability." “
Qian Dafu understood, Xiao Ming meant that since the birth of the colonial aristocracy was unavoidable, it was better to let the princes become the largest nobles in the colony.
In this way, even if the colony becomes independent in the future, the princes may become the ones in charge of the country, and no matter how bad they are, they will have a decisive influence on the country, which is better than the independence of the colony into a country full of malice towards the empire itself.
Moreover, the princes live in the colony, and the memory of the colony to the empire will not disappear, after all, the cultural gene of recognizing their ancestors and returning to their ancestors has been rooted in their hearts.
They and their descendants will always be nostalgic for the once huge empire, and will even work to restore the empire.
"The emperor is really hardworking, the old slave really hopes that the emperor will live forever, so that the empire will be able to prosper forever." Qian Dafu said with slightly red eyes.
Xiao Ming patted Qian Dafu's shoulder, and he said: "It all depends on the will of heaven, maybe the empire will be torn apart in the future, but as long as I am alive, we must work hard to plan for the long-term development of the empire." “
Qian Dafu nodded, "If that's the case, the old slave thinks it's feasible to let the princes go to important colonies." “
