Su Yonglin wrote clearly in the article and expressed his views clearly.
Once the ruler of the other country adopts a policy of isolation and hostility towards Ming Dynasty, it will inevitably have a huge impact on Ming Dynasty's economic interests, and will have a devastating blow to Ming Dynasty's soon-to-be prosperous maritime trade, which will in turn produce a series of chain reactions. It greatly affected the economic development of Ming Dynasty and the national economy and people's livelihood.
The export of silk, tea and porcelain will become a huge problem, and employees in related industries will also be seriously threatened. A large number of technical personnel will lose their jobs, and a large number of upstream and downstream practitioners will go bankrupt and lose their jobs. The entire industry is expected to shrink by 60%. above scale.
To this end, we must prepare for a rainy day, make a series of plans, and take the initiative in our hands.
They are afraid that we will influence them, so we must take the initiative to bring revolution to their homeland.
They are afraid of our remote control command, so we really want remote control command.
From now on, we must take the initiative to increase our understanding of the situations of overseas countries, cultivate language talents from various countries, and enhance our understanding of the social conditions and folk customs of overseas countries.
Then formulate a targeted plan that is consistent with the country's national conditions to avoid encountering acclimatization during operations.
The navigation plan and the external exploration plan are part of a series of plans.
The economic foundation is the foundation of everything. We must first make money. Only when we make enough money can we launch a world revolution.
We want to influence the whole world through strong economic strength, and we want to win more supporters and collaborators through economic influence.
The prerequisite for initiating local actions is to have some permanent institutions in the local area so that the locals are familiar with us and do not dislike us. We can also use these permanent institutions to conduct research and discussions on local people and social customs, and take the lead in arranging local arrangements. Skynet Army secret agent.
Therefore, the Beiyang Expedition and Nanyang Expedition plans are imperative.
Before the speech, it was not difficult to push this plan forward. What purpose did Su Yonglin want to achieve despite his title of emperor? In fact, the officials could not stop him.
It's just that he personally pays more attention to persuading people with virtue.
After giving many speeches, Su Yonglin received more than half of the support within the imperial court and the Fuxing Association. As time went by, the support continued to rise, and soon reached an absolute majority of two-thirds, and it is still rising.
The main reasons for the minority opponents' insistence are the actual difficulty and uncertainty of overseas exploration, as well as worries and fears about the unknown.
However, Su Yonglin criticized this phenomenon, believing that this kind of pessimism and fear of hardship and fatigue are unacceptable and must be corrected and changed.
How can revolutionaries be afraid of hardship and fatigue?
He made a speech at a public meeting, strictly criticizing this kind of pessimism and fear of hardship and fatigue, and won applause from the audience.
The outcome of the matter is already very clear.
After the theory of world revolution was thrown out, it quickly had the effect of reducing the dimensionality of the original opposition speeches between North Korea and China. There were more and more supporters and fewer and fewer opponents.
Finally, with the support of an absolute majority, in early October of the sixth year of Hongwu, the Ming Navigation Department was officially established.
The Navigation Department is not affiliated with a government department, but is affiliated with the newly established World Liaison Department of the Central Committee of the Renaissance. It directly accepts the guidance of the Central Committee of the Renaissance and moves forward with political and economic goals.
In the future, we will expand to the whole world.
In early November, the construction of the first ocean-going voyage ship of the Beiyang Route Expedition Team began at Tianjin Wei Port.
At the same time, talent selection is also carried out within the Daming Navy and within the two major port cities of Quanzhou and Guangzhou.
The strongest and most experienced professional expedition team of this era is about to be formed.
The political staff of the sailing fleet were also selected within the central headquarters of the Renaissance and among local staff.
Professionalism is important, but political work is equally important.
Su Yonglin also went to the Tianjin Port Shipbuilding Yard in late November and early December, where he personally watched the construction of ocean-going ships.
"One of the biggest changes in our Ming Dynasty in the future may start from here. From here, we will start from here and go to the world."
He said this to Xin Qiji, who came with him to inspect.
"But is there really the gold and silver we need on the continent across the sea?"
Xin Qiji had no objection to route exploration, but he was confused about what Su Yonglin told him privately about going to the American continent to look for gold and silver.
"Although not many people are still opposed to this plan now, if we can't find enough gold and silver to develop the economy, it is estimated that many people will still complain, because this matter is really difficult."
That's a thousand-mile route.
Su Yonglin just smiled at this.
"Exploration is something full of challenges and unknowns, and once you succeed, you will really make a lot of money. When I raised an army to resist the Jin Kingdom, who among you could have imagined that three years later I would have an army of 400,000 and overthrow the Golden State?"
This statement was true, and Xin Qiji could not refute it, because no one could believe that Su Yonglin raised more than a thousand troops and became emperor three years later.
But now this matter...
"Can't these two things be confused?"
Xin Qiji looked at Su Yonglin.
Su Yonglin shook his head.
"You'an, if I say that I just feel that there is gold and silver that we urgently need there, and I originally launched this exploration for this reason that seems to have no evidence, what would you think?"
Xin Qiji was silent for a while and gave his answer.
"I don't know what to think, but what I can tell is that even if you are no longer the emperor, no one can stop you from doing what you want to do in the Ming Dynasty.
The most difficult thing in the world is to be an emperor, but what is more difficult than being an emperor is for the emperor to give up being an emperor. You don't even have to be an emperor, so what else can stop you? "
Su Yonglin laughed loudly after hearing this.
"Well said, I don't even care about the position of emperor, what else can stop me? I will let our fleet go to the other side of the sea, go to that rich continent to find the gold and silver we need, and complete our Numismatic changes.
But this is only part of the entire plan. We have to send more fleets to other places. We can't just watch them come to us. We must take the initiative to open up shipping routes and trade routes, and then, it is our world connection. It’s time for the Ministry to play its role. "
Xin Qiji looked at the determination on Su Yonglin's face, and in a daze, he seemed to realize that Su Yonglin had some strange reliance on doing this.
He is a calm and wise man who never does meaningless things. Everything that happened in the six years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty has proved this.
So if Su Yonglin says that this is the right thing to do, Xin Qiji may doubt it for a short time, but will soon convince himself to believe it.
This man has brought so much to this country and has achieved almost everything Xin Qiji dreamed of. However, he has not rested on his laurels. He is still moving forward. He will continue to move forward and strive for this.
We should even set our sights on the whole world.
If so, what reason did he have to oppose him?
Xin Qiji couldn't understand.
But he still had one last doubt, which had been in his mind for some time.
"The previous currency reform...do you really not believe that future generations can carry out our cause more thoroughly?"
"Well..."
Su Yonglin turned to look at Xin Qiji and said with a smile: "I really hope I can believe it, but as expected, I can't believe it too much. If I don't leave something for the people, I really can't worry about them. They are too docile and easy to accept. "
Xin Qiji fell silent.
After a while, he smiled and said: "I thought you would have enough arrangements to give future generations the possibility of escorting me."
"Are you kidding? It was so difficult when I was alive, let alone after I die?"
Su Yonglin patted Xin Qiji on the shoulder: "You'an, I can only say that I will never give up our revolutionary cause, but after I die, even if I don't want to let go, I have to let go. I am a human being, not god."
Xin Qiji felt sad.
"But isn't that enough? From birth to death, everything I have done has clearly existed in this world. I will move forward without hesitation until I die."
Xin Qiji seemed to have seen a lot of things in this short moment, thought of a lot of things, and had a lot to say.
But when the words came to his lips, they seemed to have been deeply refined, and in the end only three words came out.
"Me too."
