In the Qing Dynasty, the population of the Han people exceeded the combined population of all other ethnic groups. This was a terrible thing for the Manchus.
Not only that, the Han people are also a nation that is good at creating wealth and production. It can be said that before the invasion of Western civilization, all economic activities in Asia relied on the Han people.
Tibetans, Mongolians, Manchus, southwest ethnic minorities... their survival basically depends on the Han people. Although the Manchus join forces with Mongolian and Tibetan and other ethnic groups to suck the blood of the Han people, they seem to have the upper hand, but in their hearts It's very clear.
"The Han people can live without these ethnic minorities, but the ethnic minorities cannot live alone without the economy created by the Han people!"
"The head of state once taught this in a small class a long time ago. At that time, there were no daily care groups. I found it by looking through old materials!"
"This is the core reason why ethnic minorities fear the Han people. In fact, they are not afraid of the martial prowess of the Han people, because the relatively comfortable living conditions in the Central Plains make it difficult for them to breed a large number of wild warriors!"
"But in the bitter cold frontiers, any shepherd child in the Central Plains would be a dead soldier who dared to kill people! So what the ethnic minorities fear is not the martial prowess of the Han people. What they fear is the population, and the other thing is the creation of the Han people. a huge economy!”
Xiao Letian's eyes lit up. He found that he usually underestimated this taciturn boy, but he could understand so thoroughly a speech he only gave once three years ago.
Thinking of this, Xiao Letian gave him an encouraging look, and Wang Junlan's face turned even redder.
"Well! Just because we Han people have a large population, these few foreign races know very well that as long as a group of Han heroes come out and fight with them with such a large base, these foreign races have no chance of winning!"
"It's useless even if all of them are soldiers. If every hundred of us Han people have one warrior who dares to fight, the total number will far exceed them. They have no chance of winning!"
"This is one of the fears, and the second fear is their economic dependence on the Han people!"
"I don't know if you have studied it carefully. The economic structure of all the minority ethnic groups in the border areas is very thin, even single!"
"For example, in Mongolia, the life of the princes and nobles is naturally good. They can do business within the customs and have cattle and sheep pastures on the grasslands outside the customs. However, the life of ordinary Mongolians is unchanged. It is always grazing, grazing, and grazing again. !”
"I remember that every winter, Sijiucheng had to purchase hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep on the prairie, especially frozen mutton. The daily consumption reached tens of thousands. This is just a city in Beijing!"
"The caravan took away the cattle and sheep, leaving behind the salt, tea, and iron and cloth that the Mongols urgently needed. In seemingly ordinary economic activities, they carried the very powerful aggression of the Han people!"
"The Mongolian grassland can only provide the Central Plains with commodities such as wool, leather, meat, and a small amount of herbs. But what can the Central Plains provide to Mongolia? Countless types of iron tools, various types of cloth and silk, and various High-quality tea, and even Chinese patent medicines that they cannot produce, including various grain products..."
"This is the aggressiveness of the economy! We can provide ten times or even dozens of times more goods than they do, so their economy can only become seriously dependent on us!"
"We can stop eating beef and mutton from the grassland, but they can't use the ironware and salt from the Central Plains!"
"The economic noose has long been tied to the heads of these foreign races. Ordinary herdsmen don't understand economics, but how can those educated nobles not understand the ways inside? Don't they realize the hidden dangers here?"
Xiang Ying frowned and suddenly interrupted Wang Junlan, "What's the use of saying this? This topic we talked about before has nothing to do with it..."
"No, dear captain, I think it's very important! Please give me a few more minutes!"
Wang Junlan licked his lips, "Because of fear, they are more sensitive. Why have the Manchus been able to rule the Central Plains for so many years? And why can they break the curse of the Hu people who have no luck for a hundred years?"
"In addition to uniting the cynics among the Han people, uniting the ethnic minorities on the border is another clever method they use, especially the Mongols and Tibetans, who are the focus of the Manchu Alliance!"
"The Manchus knew that their population was in the minority. If they wanted to effectively rule the Han people, they had to form a wide range of allies. Mongolia and Tibet also needed the goods and wealth from the Han economy. Naturally, the two sides hit it off!"
“These foreign ethnic groups in the frontiers accepted the rule of the Manchus and recognized the legitimacy of the Manchus’ governance. In return, the Manchus united to enjoy the benefits of the Han economy and the benefits created by this huge economic circle. wealth!"
"They are both prospering and losing. It is not an exaggeration to say they are grasshoppers on a rope!"
"Two hundred years ago, these alien races have already formed a close alliance through various marriages and religious infiltration. The loyalty of these border alien races to the Manchu Qing Dynasty cannot be underestimated!"
"Having said so much, the topic returns to the captain's remarks just now. If things go according to Captain Xiang's script and the Chinese begin to carry out bloody liquidation of the Manchus, then what will the Mongols do? The Uighurs in Xinjiang What about the people? What about the Tibetans in Tibet?”
"Don't they know the truth behind the death of lips and teeth? Once the Manchus are massacred, these people will immediately realize that they are the next ones to be massacred!"
"The sky is falling and the earth is falling! Then they will realize that the Han people are going to take revenge. The Han people are going to cut off commercial trade for two hundred years, so that the foreigners who are extremely dependent on Central Plains commodities will no longer have the necessities of life!"
"At the same time, their fragile and single economic structure will be completely destroyed, and their single and surplus commodities will rot in their own hands! The collapse of the economy will plunge their entire ethnic group into a survival crisis!"
"By that time, on the one hand, the Han people are approaching them step by step with their butcher knives, and the tragic fate of being massacred is waiting for them. At the same time, their own economy has completely collapsed. The people will not be able to survive even without war. There will be a shortage of goods and financial chaos, and society will be in chaos. Public security has completely collapsed, and a large number of old and weak people are likely to die in this great change!"
"There is death inside and outside, there is a big collapse, what will happen to these border aliens who are anxious to jump over the wall? What else can they do except war?"
"Captain Xiang! Have you thought about these questions?"
"No!" Xiang Ying suddenly roared crazily, "These principles can't be yours! It's impossible... This is what the head of state taught you, right? When did you enter the master's door?"
"answer me!"
