Chapter 570 The situation in the next few decades

After the calendar, military affairs and civil affairs are followed. Due to the armed immigration plan formulated by Xu Xingchen himself, these two types of things are often discussed together.

These things are roughly divided into five strategic directions: the northern desert grassland and wasteland in the north, the river grassland in the west, the southwest, the Indian, Persia, the Dashi, the South Ocean and the Southern Continent in the south, and the North and South America in the east.

The grassland in northern Mobei is mainly based on engineering construction. First, it is necessary to build a railway to transport soldiers and supplies, then send troops to remove the colonial strongholds of Rakshasa, and finally build a stronghold for the Celestial Dynasty to garrison.

The number of immigrants in these areas is very limited. The conditions in the northern desert in this era were too difficult, and there was no profit except fur. Now it seems that it is a total loss-making deal.

Several conservative ministers of the cabinet did not want to continue to struggle in the north, and believed that they not only took back the North Sea where Su Wu shepherded, but also went further to the coast of the Arctic ice ocean.

This is an unprecedentedly remarkable martial arts. It is recommended that you end here. It is very unlikely that you will continue to build railways to the northwest, and it is even more not recommended to garrison troops.

After reading it, Xu Xingchen rejected it directly and specifically replied to the relevant personnel. Now, unlike ancient times, the Rakshasa people were far from the Huns, and were comparable to Mongolia. Their foundation was not in the grassland but in Europe.

The Heavenly Dynasty controls the desert wasteland in the north, and even if it cannot be used by me for the time being, it can avoid it being used by Rakshasa.

The Rakshasa people must be driven back to Europe completely to truly ensure the stability of the northern border of the Celestial Empire.

Finally, he made a request to continue to build railways westward, and to build forts along the railway and the river, directly to the demarcation mountains between China and Europe, and use them as the border with Rakshasa.

But there is no need to be too radical, just keep moving forward steadily. There are not many people in the Mobei region, and the other party can't waste us who can continue to build railways.

The combat and construction of the Hezhong Grassland area in the West were basically smooth, but the opinions of relevant personnel were the same as those of Mobei. They believed that there was no benefit here and did not recommend continuing to use troops.

Xu Xingchen also gave a similar instruction and must continue to advance westward until the appropriate borders of the God-European continent.

Although Xu Xingchen rejected the proposal, he also gave the ultimate goal and would not move westward without limits and could comfort them a little.

The situation in Tianzhu is first a report on the local situation in Tianzhu, which relatively accurately describes the local situation in Tianzhu, and it is recommended to replace Britain.

Xu Xingchen thought about it and ordered that India was an ancient civilization and had contacts with the Celestial Empire since ancient times. It could help India expel the British people, but it did not need to replace it.

Referring to the laws of the countries in Southeast Asia, we can just let the local kings of the country join the vassal system and pay tribute to the Celestial Empire. We would like to remind you that it is not the whole of the Indian kings, but the various kings join directly.

Persia is different from India. During the Tang Dynasty, their "King of Kings" presented their title to the Emperors of the Celestial Empire, so Xu Xingchen claimed to Persia.

Since there was a claim, it was enough to fight. Xu Xingchen instructed that after he mastered the grassland in the river, he would send troops from both sea and land to conquer Persia.

First, he was forced to pay tribute and pay taxes, and he wanted several places to build ports and garrison troops on the coast, and later he gradually immigrated and assimilated.

After conquering Persia, we continued to conquer the Dashi Peninsula and Egypt to the west, building canals here to connect the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea, and the Celestial Empire's goal in the southwest ends here.

The situation in the Southeast Asian region, including North Korea and Japan, mainly refers to population and immigration issues.

These vassal states have relatively large populations. If the Celestial Empire immigrates to these places, it will be difficult to ensure absolute population advantage and may even be reverse assimilated.

Some cabinet members gave suggestions that when using the Celestial Empire to immigrate to the Americas, they could bring a certain proportion of their own civilians.

This can reduce the number of native natives, facilitate the gradual income of the Celestial Empire, and at the same time increase the number of Celestial Empire immigrants to the Americas, killing two birds with one stone.

Xu Xingchen thought this suggestion was really good, so he approved it directly after reading it. This will be the arrangement for American immigration in the future.

Next is Australia. Celestial immigrants have already gained an advantage in Australia, but Australian indigenous people are more difficult to assimilate.

The main reason is that immigrants are unwilling to accept these dark guys, and the immigrants of the Celestial Empire are different from white colonists, and have a tendency to assimilate than to massacre.

So the relevant personnel made two suggestions: to send these indigenous people to the South Australian island, let them fend for themselves, or to Africa, after all, they are closest to Africans.

Xu Xingchen hesitated for a while and finally chose the latter. Australian natives and Africans are really close to each other.

The key is that Xu Xingchen does not want to give up that South Australia Island, which is Tasmania Island in later generations.

Due to geographical location and terrain, most areas of the Australian continent have tropical deserts and tropical savanna climates.

The places suitable for human habitation are basically in the eastern and southern coastal areas, and that large island is in the southeast corner, which happens to be one of the most livable places.

Finally, it was America. The official in charge of immigration from America submitted a summary report and put forward several major directional suggestions.

They have found that the Americans in North America are relatively difficult to deal with. Not only are they all armed with guns, but they are relatively tough in character, and there are fewer native Indians.

The white people in South America are relatively lazy, and there are more Indians left, which is convenient for the absorption of the Celestial Empire.

At the same time, the conditions in North America are relatively poor. The winters throughout North America are extremely bitter and cold, even the northern border is no different. There are still difficult Americans on the relatively fertile plains.

South America is basically the opposite, with a relatively warm and humid climate, the river plain in the southwest is like the south of the Yangtze River, and the terrain is flat and easy to reclaim, and the local white people are easier to deal with.

So he suggested that the focus of subsequent American immigration should be on South America, and North America only needs to control the places west of the Rocky Mountains and have relatively superior environments along the Pacific coast.

Xu Xingchen was quite satisfied after reading it. Although some civil servants still had old thinking, some officials' thinking had already been opened.

The analysis of the situation in America and India in front of us is definitely not something that the Qing officials could do.

Xu Xingchen felt that what he said made sense, but he did not agree directly and made relatively cautious approvals according to his plan.

In principle, this plan is agreed, but North American immigrants still attach importance to it, at least ensuring that the Celestial population is evenly matched with the whites, and at the same time, they must control the entire Rocky Mountains.

While meeting this condition, the scale of armed immigration to South America was increased, with the target of 80 million to 100 million, completely suppressing white and mixed-race people in South America.

Xu Xingchen's decision-making approval of internal affairs of the empire determines the development strategy of the Celestial Empire in the next few decades and also determines the general situation on Earth in the next few decades.

During the 25th year of the empire, the pure steel pure steam warship designed by Xu Xingchen was built and launched, and Xu Xingchen named it Dingyuan.

After completing the test, the design was optimized and sixteen ships were built in one breath.

During the batch construction of Dingyuan class, larger 10,000-ton similar ships were designed, and eight were built in one go.

Then there is a larger 14,000-ton former dreadnought ship, which also directly placed eight orders to make up for the lack of naval battleships as much as possible.

During this period, a larger number of secondary warships were built, including various cruisers and destroyers, and the naval system was becoming more and more complete and huge.

By the thirty years of the empire, the Celestial Empire's Navy had surpassed the British Empire in terms of scale and technical level, and became the de facto world number one.

With such a huge fleet and increasingly vast direct or vassal areas, the Imperial fleet has completely controlled the sea control of the Pacific and Indian Oceans.

The European fleet led by the British Empire can no longer be compared with the Celestial Empire fleet.

Within the advantage range of the Celestial Empires such as the Pacific and Indian Oceans, it is impossible to match it anymore.

In addition, the colonies were basically captured by the Celestial Empire, so they simply withdrew from the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean completely.

At the same time, the pure steel pure steam warships of the Celestial Empire also led to the rapid iteration of European and American navies, and entered the era of pure steel pure steam faster than in history.

At this time, the Celestial Empire was designing a real front-facing dreadnought, and at the same time began to integrate new-age technologies such as steam turbines, heavy oil water pipe boilers, large-caliber rapid-fire cannons, wired telephones, and radio communications. This was to make technical reserves for future dreadnoughts.

Xu Xingchen had a premonition that under his influence, the related technologies of the Dreadnought will mature earlier than those in history, at least before this century.
