After Qin Mu and the ministers discussed, the military department began to mobilize the army to Fusu City, Bai Qi City, Thang Long Province, Hue, Ava, and Dagon, and stationed one or two thousand army troops in each place, and then collected local materials and organized some servant armies from the local area to clear the remnants of the local mountains.

In this way, the Royal Navy can pull out its hands, the navy is used to develop, to put it more bluntly, it is used to make money, Australia, India, the Persian Gulf, South Africa, there are too many places that need the navy to explore.

And using the navy to open up is a profitable thing. At the beginning, some people said that Zheng He's trip to the West was a matter of labor and money, which is really ridiculous, without Zheng He's going to the West to obtain countless wealth, can he support the Yongle Five Expeditions to Mongolia, and can support the prosperity of Yongle?

Except for uninhabited areas like Australia and some strategic naval bases, the navy will no longer have to incorporate the occupied land into the territory of Daqin, as it did in the South Seas.

Qin Mu believed that the British colonial method in history should be the most successful, skillfully using the local power, not getting involved himself, but standing on a detached height, controlling the local trade, economy, culture, and taxation. The colonies were used as raw material suppliers and dumping sites.

In the Huagai Palace, Qin Mu gathered the cabinet auxiliary ministers Sima An, Lu Zhenfei, Li Yuan, Di Zhongxing, the Governor of the Navy, He Liang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Gu Junen, the left waiter, Xu Yingjie, the left waiter of the household department, Wei Yuan, the left waiter of the Ministry of Industry, Huang Zhenlin, the left waiter of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Gannan, the right waiter, and held a small-scale meeting.

Qin Mu first said: "When the army takes East and Siberia and drives Tsarist Russia across the Ural Mountains, the strategic space of Great Qin will basically be large enough.

As the saying goes, although the country is big, the belligerent will perish. If you continue to expand the territory of Great Qin, not only will you be greedy and chew more, but Great Qin will likely be dragged down.

Therefore. Next, it is necessary to adjust the strategy and turn the occupation by force into a multi-pronged approach such as force, diplomacy, economy, culture, and faith, and adopt a detached approach to colonization.

If we continue to plunder wealth by force and get it for nothing, we will be like the original Spain, which blindly squandered the wealth stolen from South America and did not produce it, then it will be difficult for domestic industry and commerce to develop.

In this case, the people will become poor and luxurious. Always thinking about getting something for nothing, but there is always a time when the gold and silver mountains are squandered, and history has proved that Spain failed, and I Daqin must not follow the old path of Spain.

The task of the navy in the future is to occupy some strategic points on the sea, control the raw material production areas, and the dumping areas of commodities. This occupation is no longer aimed at occupying its territory, but is based on the use of force. Diplomatic tactics to control the local economy, culture, and even taxes. In short, the navy has only one mission, and that is to serve the economy of Great Qin. ”

Qin Mu said a lot in one breath. Fortunately, there are ministers who have been following him for a long time, and they have come into contact with him a lot of new ideas, and they can understand them.

Li Yuan said: "Your Majesty, I am a great Qindi. There is no need to rely on overseas colonies for raw materials, so I am afraid that the merchants of Great Qin are not willing to go far and far. Go to a foreign country to get the source material. According to what His Majesty said, without the demand of the social field, there will be no driving force, and if this problem is not solved, the motivation to go out will be difficult to reach Britain, France and other countries after all. ”

Huang Zhenlin, a left-awaited waiter at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said: "It should not be difficult to solve this problem, and the imperial court can formulate corresponding laws and regulations to prohibit the premature exploitation of domestic resources, so as to create a situation of lack of resources for the land, so as to form a driving force for foreign demand." ”

Qin Mu remembered that Lao Mei in later generations did just that, formulating corresponding laws and regulations to prohibit the exploitation of domestic resources, and let businessmen go out and rob the resources of other countries first, and the resources of their own country will become strategic reserves.

After listening to Huang Zhenlin's construction, Qin Mu was greatly pleased, and now the vision of the ministers of the DPRK and China is getting wider and wider, and it is hard to imagine that the monarchs and ministers of the Ming Dynasty, who have almost no understanding of the world, will have such a vision and discuss the world pattern, let alone the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which closed off the country.

Xu Yingjie, a household waiter, added: "Huang Shilang's construction is very good, but the forced ban on the exploitation of domestic resources may not be effective." His Majesty thought that it was better to introduce a tax policy to regulate and control it by formulating a decree to forcibly prohibit it.

At present, there is almost no competition problem in the world for Daqin's goods, in other words, even if the cost of Daqin's goods is a little higher, it will not lose its competitiveness.

This made it convenient for the imperial court, which could use the method of raising taxes to increase the cost of using some domestic raw materials, so that industrial and commercial owners could look more abroad;

In foreign countries, you can get a lot of free labor, and you can use the influence of the military government to control local raw materials. In this way, the cost of foreign raw materials is lower than the cost of domestic raw materials, which can not only increase import and export taxes, but also force industrial and commercial owners to look overseas.

Of course, which raw materials need to be taxed, which needs to weigh the pros and cons in detail, so as not to affect the income of ordinary people in the country and restrict the exertion of generating power. ”

"Good." Qin Mu motioned to Jin Gongnan to record the opinions of the various ministers, and then submit them to the court for discussion during the court meeting.

He pondered for a moment and then said: "Before sending troops to Nanyang, the ultimate goal was to incorporate the entire Nanyang into the territory of Great Qin, so there was nothing to do with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. But after the next policy adjustment, it will depend on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Next, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs should go ahead of the armed forces and be able to exert diplomatic pressure to solve problems, and try not to use force. In addition, even if force had to be used, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would try to ensure that trade was not completely disrupted. ”

Huang Zhenlin and Gan Nan got up together, hugged Yuanyuan and said: "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will definitely follow His Majesty's will and go all out." ”

"As the Royal Navy continues to advance towards India, the Persian Gulf, and South Africa, the interests of Western countries will be damaged, and they are likely to be driven by interests to unite again.

Don't despise the Western countries because of the victory in Quanzhou Bay, as far as I know, the Netherlands, a small country with balls, has nearly 10,000 warships and armed merchant ships, which travel all over the world, and is known as the coachman of the sea;

Britain, Portugal, Spain, France and other countries, the sea strength should not be underestimated, although the loss of Quanzhou Bay, although it can not be said that it is only a drop in the bucket, but it definitely did not hurt their muscles and bones, but due to the long sea route, they could not fight against Daqin in the Far East.

As soon as our army advances into India, Africa, and even Europe itself, the geographical advantage we have will be completely lost. In those unfamiliar seas, our Royal Navy knows nothing about shipping lanes, climate, hydrology, ocean currents, etc., and can even be said to be ignorant.

Not to mention that all the Western countries are combined, even if it is the strength of the Netherlands, it is possible to make the Great Qin Royal Navy return with a feather. Therefore, it is absolutely unacceptable. ”

Qin Mu's words, there is no exaggeration, in terms of naval warfare, it is greatly affected by sea conditions, climate, and other conditions, and a small negligence may become the outcome of a war.

Compared with the western maritime powers, the Great Qin Royal Navy is still a little tender, and it lacks understanding of the situation in the far seas. The fact that Korea's Yi Sun-sin was able to defeat more than 100 Japanese warships with more than 10 warships was not because the Korean sailors were capable of fighting, but because Yi Sunsin made full use of the complicated sea conditions to defeat the Japanese sailors.

In terms of ocean conditions, the Western maritime powers are very familiar, while the Imperial Navy of Daqin is very unfamiliar, and has never even been to the Indian Ocean.

And now the navy generally has a kind of pride and complacency, because of a few victories, many people think that I am the first in the world, if you go out with this mentality, defeat is almost inevitable.

Therefore, Qin Mu decided to give the navy a few sticks again, and let them figure out the real situation of the countries in the world.

He said to Di Zhongxing: "The prisoners of the naval battle of Quanzhou should be re-interrogated, so that they can give a detailed account of the naval strength of each country, the situation of each strategic base, and the situation of each sea lane, and cross-compare them, so as to prevent someone from lying." Then, these important materials should be compiled into a book, and each naval captain should have a copy in his possession, and he must conscientiously study them so that he can have a detailed understanding of the actual situation in the Western countries. In addition, among the captives, it is necessary to try to rebel as much as possible, because they are familiar with the ocean conditions, and having them as a guide can prevent the navy from making many mistakes. ”

Di Zhongxing hurriedly got up and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”
