The Maritime Silk Road has been fully explored so far.
The area ruled by the Ayyubid Dynasty from the Ming Dynasty to Saladin had to pass through thousands of miles of sea. During this period, there were great unknown risks, and the best way to resist risks was the army.
Su Yonglin needs to establish military bases along the Maritime Silk Road to protect the waterway. By the way, the military base can also be used as a base to spread the revolutionary theories of the Renaissance in civilized areas along the way, in anticipation of the future world revolution.
The Champa Revolution was already in full swing and was about to be fully successful. Su Yonglin was more confident than ever in promoting the world revolution.
In other words, the Ming Dynasty needed to establish a military base in areas controlled or influenced by countries such as Srivijaya, Bagan, Xina, Selan, Zhunian, Nanbi, Gulin, Gur, and Magia. It is a military base belonging to the Ming Dynasty and garrisoned with troops.
This is not an easy task. It requires strengthening the navy, investing a large amount of funds in naval construction, and being prepared to deal with the outbreak of war at any time.
It also requires a series of material investment, material transfer, and continuous blood transfusion for several years, so that an overseas base can truly gain a foothold in the local area and gain a firm foothold.
It costs money.
But at the meeting of the Executive Committee of the People's Congress, when Su Yonglin raised this matter, it was unanimously approved.
Lin Jingchun, who dislikes spending money the most, expressed his support.
The situation that the Champa Revolution was in full swing not only made Su Yonglin very happy, but also made the other eight people very happy. They also felt the possibility of the great success of the world revolutionary theory.
If it can succeed in Champa, why can’t it succeed in other places?
It is nothing more than sending personnel to support the local Renaissance organization, and then providing various supports, training military personnel for them, and then overthrowing the local feudal or slave-system countries and realizing their own revolution.
Everyone has concerns about the future of the Ming Dynasty. When Su Yonglin proposed the theory of world revolution, everyone had some doubts, but now, no one has doubts.
This is indeed a good path that can open up a new situation for Ming Dynasty. This will not only provide Ming Dynasty with a more relaxed international environment, but also ensure Ming Dynasty's economic interests.
Among other things, in June, Gao Tianlu, on behalf of the Ming Dynasty, and the Champa Democratic Republic, represented by Cha Quan, signed a post-war package of economic construction assistance agreements. The two parties reached cooperation agreements on many issues.
The focus is on economic construction, especially the development of minerals and the establishment of factories, as well as the preferential treatment for Ming products entering the Champa Democratic Republic and the reciprocal preferential treatment for the Champa Democratic Republic, etc.
The finalization of these economic agreements has made a great contribution to the economic interests of the Ming Dynasty. It is not a total investment and no income at all. The better the development of the city in the future, the more the interests of the Ming Dynasty will be protected.
The eldest brother can help the younger brother, but the younger brother also wants to breastfeed the older brother. He is always bleeding and cannot hold on.
In practice, the Ming Dynasty's agricultural assistance and system construction assistance to Champa was almost free.
The assistance of a large amount of food and weapons was just a symbolic amount of money. This batch of food and weapons helped Chaquan and others gain a foothold in the northern part of Champa, allowing them to survive the first and most difficult moments and lay the foundation for The basis for victory.
In the process of post-war economic construction, the Ming Dynasty would not only give away gifts, but also collect money.
The Champa state was in dire straits, and the Ming Dynasty not only provided technical guidance in agriculture, but was also willing to provide help in industry and commerce. For example, the tea government could not spend much money to build factories, but the Ming Dynasty could.
The Ming Dynasty was willing to provide funds, general technology and management experience to help the Champa State establish metal smelting factories, weapons smelting factories and some handicraft factories for daily necessities, and then introduced a shareholding system.
The Ming Kingdom holds 40% of the shares, and the remaining 60% belongs to the Champa State. In terms of profits, they get the big share and the Ming Kingdom gets the small share.
When the Champa State is repairing waterways and traffic roads, because it cannot afford the money but it is in urgent need, it is no problem. You can borrow money from the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty provides very humane low-interest loans. When the Champa State earns Just pay the money back to Daming.
These agreements were accepted by the Champa authorities and they expressed their gratitude.
They didn't think that they could get these relatively superior preferential aid terms through prostitution all the way, which was enough for a country like Champa City that was less than one percent of the Ming Dynasty.
With the success of Champa, the executive committee has a lot more ideas about this road.
It is necessary to control the ports in important transportation areas. For this reason, we will not hesitate to launch a war.
Moreover, in recent years, when the World Liaison Department and the Navigation Department opened up the Maritime Silk Road, they also conducted a preliminary investigation of the customs and customs of each country, did business there, and contacted local people and officials as much as possible. Quite knowledgeable about the local area.
In the first round of operations of the merchant fleet, the merchant fleet successfully left agencies in some countries to communicate directly with local people. If the locals need anything, they can go to the agency to report it, and then the agency will send the news back to the country, which will raise funds domestically. Goods are transported to the local area for delivery.
Naturally, there are people from the Skynet Army and the Renaissance Society inside the agency, working towards their respective goals.
For now, striving to set up agencies in various countries is the most important goal.
After the establishment of the agency, the top priority is to negotiate with their officials and strive for friendly access to special ports and military bases belonging to the Ming Dynasty.
If it cannot be obtained amicably, the form of war is not unacceptable.
However, the report of the Merchant Marine Corps also pointed out that most of these overseas countries are not centralized and unified countries like the Ming Dynasty, or they are unified in name, but there are still powerful factions of different sizes in the local areas.
Sometimes, the king's words are not so effective, and may even conflict with powerful factions. The Puluozhong region does not know whether the king's words are effective, and further communication is needed.
Of course, military support must also keep up. These countries are not that civilized.
When sailing in the Srivijaya Kingdom, the merchant fleet also encountered a pirate fleet, and then was sunk by all the accompanying warships, which showed a good display of martial virtue.
For this type of country, Su Yonglin has a headache.
They are limited by transportation, political systems and natural climate conditions. The nominal king has a nominally extensive territory, but in terms of actual governance, he may still have to rely on large and small feudal owners or slave owners for governance.
At the national diplomatic and military levels, these feudal lords and slave owners needed to maintain a consistent attitude with the king, and at the economic and political levels, they each represented their own interests.
"Extreme Spiritual Chaos Jue"
When the king is strong, these guys may obey the king's orders more, and the country looks more unified and orderly.
When the king is weak, the country is like a piece of scattered sand. Everyone has their own pursuits. There are kings everywhere, short and glorious.
After some discussion, Su Yonglin gave a summary of the current situation.
"There should be relatively few countries that pay attention to rules and order like the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, for other countries, we must not equate them with the Ming Dynasty and think that everything will be fine after negotiating with the king. There used to be an old saying that the king of hell is easy to deal with, and the devil is difficult to deal with. The king It's easy to deal with, but not necessarily the people below.
In the final analysis, we still have to rely on ourselves. When necessary, it is very meaningful for these brats to show the martial virtues of the Ming Dynasty. In this case, I think it is necessary to readjust our naval fleet. "
