Chapter 1025: The Crisis of the Dashun Empire

The stars move quickly, and the sun and the moon fly by. Time always flies by, and when you want to catch it, it suddenly starts spinning rapidly.

For the Ming Empire, which has embarked on the road of no return to the fiery capitalism, more and more people have begun to feel that there is not enough time!

time is money!

Time is the new world!

Building ships, training sailors, recruiting immigrants, preparing supplies, and sailing eastward all take time, and they all produce the profits that capitalists love most. This is probably the most evil thing about capitalism, which can control almost all human behaviors.

They are all linked to commercial profits, and then profits are used to drive human greed and make people pursue it crazily.

And Zhu Cixiang's financial methods can amplify and amplify capital, profits and people's greed. Therefore, since the 10th year of Hongxing, the United States of Xinzhou has become the most eye-catching wealth outlet...

.So much so that people living in the prosperous and prosperous places in the southeast of the Ming Dynasty have almost forgotten that their homeland has not actually achieved true unification, even in name.

Because in the southwest corner of the land of China, there was still a Dashun Empire that openly opposed the Ming Empire at this time, and also regarded itself as China!

Dashun is now also a colonial empire!

Because she also has her own colony.

After the successful raid on Ava, the Dashun court established the Ava Governor's Palace and the Salim Governor's Palace to take charge of upper and lower Myanmar. After breaking Ayutthaya City, the Dashun court conveniently established a Ayutthaya Governor's Palace.

to govern the Siamese lands they conquered.

Because Dashun used a sneak attack to annex the vassal state of Myanmar, which was tantamount to tearing up the "Treaty of Suzerains and Vassals" with his own hands. Therefore, while opening up territory, he also destroyed his own Celestial Dynasty system. Therefore, after seizing Upper and Lower Burma and

After losing part of the Siamese land, the Dashun court had to find another way to rule.

At first, Li Guo, Li Laiheng and others wanted to move Dashun's land granting system to upper and lower Burma. But later, they found that this method was not feasible!

The reason why the implementation of the Fu soldiers system in Upper and Lower Myanmar was frustrated was that there was no way for the Fu soldiers to take root in Myanmar!

The Fu soldiers system must be rooted in the countryside - the Fu soldiers in Dashun are actually soldiers from small landowners. After receiving one or two hundred acres of land, the Fu soldiers will sub-lease the land to farmers and use the rent collected to support themselves.

and family and bear military service expenses.

However, the Fubeng households who moved to Myanmar from Sichuan, Shaanxi (Hanzhong, Gongchang), Hubei (Yunyang) and other places found that they could not take root at all. Because after all, the Burmese are not Han farmers in Sichuan, Yunnan and other places. The latter

Although there is a gap between the people of Shaanxi and Shaanxi, they can still communicate with each other reluctantly. Moreover, while the Dashun imperial court implemented the government army system, it also carried out land equalization based on population calculation, which benefited the poor farmers, so it was very smooth.

The government military system was established.

But in Myanmar, the situation is completely different.

The Han government soldiers have no way to communicate with Burmese farmers. Of course, they cannot talk about taking root. Moreover, there are no intensified land conflicts in Burma, and there is no concept of equality that the Han people in the Central Plains have gradually developed since the Warring States Period.

The Burmese nobles were very accustomed to slavery, and there was no need for Tashun soldiers to liberate them.

Moreover, Myanmar is a land of miasma. The soldiers who migrated from Shaanxi, Sichuan, and Hubei are easily infected and die from diseases. It would be better if they live in a relatively highly developed city, but if they are scattered to the countryside, they will get sick.

The probability is even greater.

Among the "Northern Expeditionary Army" who followed Li Laiheng and Li Dingguo in their southern expedition, the number of people who died due to epidemics was several times more than those who died on the battlefield.

Since there is no way to go to the countryside to take root, Dashun's rule in upper and lower Myanmar can only be centered on the city and for the purpose of grabbing economic benefits - the purpose of Dashun's raid on Myanmar was not limited to opening up territory, but also included

Obtain the southern seaport, obtain Western firearms technology, and obtain export channels for the Shu brocade produced by the government-run handicraft industry.

Therefore, parts of the land in Upper and Lower Burma and Siam became annexes for the Dashun Empire to seize resources and money, that is, colonies.

Moreover, since there was no way to place a large number of government soldiers in upper and lower Burma, the Dashun court was unable to transform Burma from a colony into a native province...

Therefore, the Dashun court could only establish three governor-general districts with large cities as the core of governance in the lands of Upper and Lower Myanmar and Siam, and implemented colonial rule over Upper and Lower Myanmar and Siam that was very different from that of Dashun itself.

After completing the establishment of the three major governor-general offices, Prince Li Laiheng, the commander-in-chief of the Dashun Northern Expeditionary Army, ended his several-year trip to the south and handed over the army and territory to the governor of Ava, Li Dingguo (the third southern governor of Dashun).

Headed by Governor Awa), he led a small number of guards back north, and in the spring of ten years of co-ruling in Dashun, he returned to Chongqing, the northern capital of the Dashun Empire, with a heavy heart.

There is a reason for his heavy heart. When he was in Burma and Siam, he once set up his Fujun Prince's Palace in Salian, the seaport of Lower Burma. There were many people of Portuguese and Burmese mixed blood living there, and they were in contact with the outside world.

The relationship was also relatively close, so Li Laiheng also knew that the Ming Empire had become increasingly prosperous in recent years.

For Dashun, the prosperous life of the Ming Empire was not a good thing...

After entering the boundaries of Chongqing Prefecture, Li Laiheng did not rush to Chongqing Prefecture. Instead, he first went to the imperial mausoleum of the late emperor Li Zicheng in Bishan. He also had a manor in Bishan, near the imperial mausoleum. After paying homage to the imperial mausoleum,

After that, Li Laiheng took his subordinates and one of his sons, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy named Li Jicheng, to dismount their horses and walk slowly toward his manor.

Both sides of the official road were already green. In the paddy fields, Bashu farmers wearing short clothes and bamboo hats were dotted here and there. While working, they shouted and talked in Sichuan accent. The voices kept coming and going, making it very lively.

Passing by a village, groups of children were playing and playing at the entrance of the village. When they saw Li Laiheng and others leading a big horse, they all gathered around and sang and danced in great harmony.

Li Laiheng also stopped, picked up a six- or seven-year-old boy, and asked with a smile: "Kid, what's your name, and how old are you?"

The child spoke in a Shaanxi accent: "Uncle, my name is Shuanggui, and I am eight years old this year!"

"Are you from Shaanxi?" Li Laiheng smiled even more happily, "Where is your Ada?"

"E-Ada went last time. At home, there are E, E's mother, E's second mother, E's two brothers, two sisters, and a younger sister."

"Hey, there's a whole family here!" Li Laiheng's smile faded a little unconsciously.

This child has one father and two mothers, and his peers include two brothers, two sisters, and one sister. Including him, there are six children...it seems a bit too much!

Li Laiheng knew that since the beginning of the common rule, Dashun's rule in Sichuan, Yunnan and other places had gradually stabilized. The Ming Dynasty did not launch a crazy attack, but "ignored" Dashun to a certain extent.

In this case, Dashun's more than 200,000 soldiers and tens of thousands of government officials had nothing to do. Apart from going on duty, they just gave birth to children at home and played.

Therefore, there are many families with six or seven children in Fubing Gate!

The next generation of more than 200,000 military officials will probably swell to one million people! Even excluding women, the number will increase to more than 500,000!

Can the Dashun court grant jobs and land to these 500,000 people? Granting 100 acres to one person means 50 million acres...

Moreover, it is not only the military households and government households that are multiplying rapidly, but also the farmers who are planning to transfer their land to the countryside are also trying their best to have children.

Because farmers' incomes and burdens were evened out under the farm plan, it was easier to get married and have children, and there were no contraceptive methods these days. Therefore, when the food supply was relatively abundant and the social environment was stable and stable, the population
