Iron Dynasty - Chapter 1130
“The United States is really rich, and it took out 60 million francs in one go. “Gao Yingfeng is speechless. “It is definitely worthwhile for the United States to buy the Louisiana area for 60 million francs. This is equivalent to doubling the area of the United States.” said a general.
Zhu Sansi said: “Southern North America has always been relatively rich, but it is only rich. The United States is still very weak and has not established a strong enough army. The task of the Eastern Military Region is to seize this opportunity to seize more land. Wait for an opportunity to destroy it.”
Gao Yingfeng said loudly, “Commander, the soldiers are waiting gearing up. As long as an order is given, Canada is the Empire.”
Zhu Sansi nodded, “Starting from now on preparing for war, we will attack Canada in 15 days.”
“Yes, Commander!”
Yizhou.
Ye Qingyun hung up the phone and a smile appeared on his face. It was Emperor Xiao Ming who called him.
After he was transferred to the commander of the Southwest Army, he finally received his first task, to send his troops south to occupy the East Indochina region of France.
At present, only East Indochina in Southeast Asia belongs to European colonies, and all other regions have been taken over by the empire and become the empires overseas colonies.
Thinking of this, East Indochina looked very unpleasant in the territory of the empire. Now, this area marked as a colony of France is about to change its name.
After being excited, Ye Qingyun immediately summoned his generals to deploy the attack on East Indochina.
In November of the seventh year of the imperial calendar, Ye Qingyun led 40,000 Southwest Army troops to the south, and almost at the same time Zhu Sansi launched an attack on the French colony of Canada.
After the Battle of India, the French forces in East Indochina were already very weak. The Southwest Army successively conquered the Indochina Peninsula where Annan, Laos, and Cambodia were located, and became the force to replace France in this area.
Zhu Sansi’s offensive was also unexpectedly smooth. After starting from Alaska, Zhu Sansi’s army encountered very weak resistance, and most of the French troops were transferred back home because of the civil war.
This created very favorable conditions for Zhu Sansi.
The news of victory came, and the Empires newspapers boiled over. The entire page was all about Canada and Indochina.
And some savvy merchants can immediately plan to let their products enter these areas.
Yushufang.
Xiao Ming marked the Indochina Peninsula and Canada on the map. For him, the Indochina Peninsula and Canada were his possessions after the Indian War.
He was just waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity that would allow the empire to obtain these two huge colonies at a small price.
The French civil war was an opportunity for the empire, and Mi Zhu’s return confirmed the current bad situation in France. They simply could not take care of these two colonies.
“The emperor, this is another victory for the empire. It has occupied Canada, and the territory of the empire has been bigger.” 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 currently the most troublesome. At present, many colonies are too far away from the empire. I am afraid that these colonies will be in chaos after a few years.”
“What does the emperor mean is 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. “Yes, after all, a living example in America is right in front of us.”
Xiao Ming’s eyes are deep. Contemporary experience tells him that the colonization of the old empires is all independent. With the progress of human civilization, the national independence boom will inevitably rise in the world. This is an inevitable development trend of history.
He has accepted this psychologically, but emotionally he does not want to accept it.
Qian Dafu sighed slightly. He said: “The emperor’s words are extremely true that the term colonial aristocracy has been circulated in the empire. The imperial people who immigrated to the colony became the first beneficiaries of the colony, and their descendants will Benefiting from the colony, these immigrants will undoubtedly regard the interests of the colony as their highest interest in the long term. Once the colony and the empire are in conflict, they will inevitably choose to stand on the side of the colony. What are you worried about.”
Xiao Ming laughed a few times, “You know a lot.”
“The emperor is absurd, the old slave is just talking nonsense.” Qian Dafu pretended to be confused again.
“You are right. From the beginning of my determination to emigrate, I knew that I would face this problem sooner or later. So these days, I have been thinking about how to avoid letting these colonies become independent from the United Kingdom like the United States in the future.
“So, the emperor already has a solution?” Qian Dafu asked.
“There is no way.” Xiao Ming was a little depressed, “but I can leave a royal mark on these colonies, so that they can deal with the common enemy together in the future.”
After a while, he said, “I am going to hand over these colonies to my sons.”
Qian Dafu was surprised when he heard that, “The emperor is going to restart the enfeoffment system?”
Xiao Ming shook his head,” said yes, said no, no, this colony always needs to send a governor to manage. Instead of this, it is better to let my sons be the first governor, and in the future can they be hereditary governors. It depends on their own ability~~Qian Dafu knows, Xiao Ming means that since the birth of colonial nobles is unavoidable, it is 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 people in charge of the country. No matter how bad they are, they will have a significant influence on the country. It is better than the independence of the colony into a country that is malicious to the empire. .
Moreover, the princes live in colonies, and the colonys memory of the empire will not disappear. After all, the cultural gene of recognizing ancestors has been rooted in their hearts.
They and their descendants will always miss the once huge empire, and even work hard to restore the empire’s territory. “The emperor is really painstaking. 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 red eyes.
Xiao Ming patted Qian Dafu on the shoulder, and he said, “It all depends on God’s will. Perhaps the empire will be torn apart in the future, but as long as I am still alive, we will work hard to plan for the long-term development of the empire.”
Qian Dafu nodded, “If this is the case, the old slave thinks it is feasible to let the princes go to important colonies.”
