Go with the flow!
If there is no trend to follow, then take advantage of the trend, or build momentum.
In a word, the trend cannot be reversed!
Standing on the shoulders of the giant of history, Emperor Zhu Da was very clear about the role of "power" in history. Power may seem illusory, but in fact, from a historical perspective, any country or force that goes against the trend will eventually become a force.
There is no escaping failure.
The most typical example is San Dezi. When the war started, its momentum was almost unstoppable, but what happened next? The shabby house they talked about was almost kicked down, but because they didn't look down on the people in the shabby house, they just kicked it down.
The people who once lined the streets to welcome them became enemies.
Then what?
Then there is no more.
"Momentum" is something that needs to be borrowed and followed, but the key is to promote it.
"North America."
Emperor Zhu paused, stared at North America on the map and said.
"What worries me most is never the resistance of the US military. The US military... is not worth mentioning at all!"
This is not a pretentious thing!
But confidence.
"Even if we put aside our advantages in weapons, when it comes to training, our soldiers are trained more scientifically, and when it comes to morale, our morale is stronger. Even with the spirit of sacrifice, the US military is not as good as us, so the US military has nothing to fear!"
After the confident words came out of Emperor Zhu Da's mouth, his words suddenly changed and he spoke directly.
"What I am most worried about is the people. Whether the people welcome our occupation or resist our occupation is very critical. If they resist us, then we will have to face millions of Americans armed with weapons - we must
You know, every household in the United States has a gun, and they are all militiamen who come when called upon! They are guerrillas!"
When the guerrillas were mentioned, Emperor Zhu Da's brows knitted into a frown. How many seemingly invincible troops were stumbled by the guerrillas.
From Napoleon's hatred of Spain, to Mao Zedong's invasion of Afghanistan, to the disgraceful flight of the Americans from Afghanistan.
"The guerrillas may seem inconspicuous, but they are slow knives, constantly bleeding our bodies. If the Americans in the west and central China resist our occupation, then our railways will be destroyed in the future, and they will attack our troops.
, they will also attack our soldiers after they are left alone, which will drain our wealth and morale bit by bit."
When it came to the role of the guerrillas, Emperor Zhu thought for a while and then said.
"Furthermore, after the war began, the resistance to us in the occupied areas was extremely fierce. This shows that my initial worries were not unnecessary."
"What your Majesty said is true. Judging from the information I have learned from various aspects, our army encountered widespread resistance after it invaded the United States. This resistance was mostly spontaneous resistance from the people. Almost everyone
There are resistance forces in every city and town."
Qian Degong thought for a while and said.
"In order to quell the resistance, the military can only resort to thunderous means. However, unless we can use the method of massacre to kill everyone like the Manchu Qing Dynasty, otherwise... it will be impossible to solve the problem."
Massacre of the city... is unrealistic!
Even when Emperor Zhu Da dispatched Japanese soldiers to the United States, he did not direct them to massacre cities. Although the occasional massacre of a village was not unacceptable, if a city was really massacred, the great and upright image of the Ming Empire would be destroyed.
Already.
Alas, the lofty image that the empire has carefully cultivated over the years has now become a burden.
It's not easy to be an overlord...
Generally speaking, wanting to be a bitch and building a memorial arch at the same time is the most difficult thing in the world.
"It's impossible to massacre the city. Times have changed, and so have the methods. Well..."
After a pause, Emperor Zhu Da said.
"If violence doesn't work, then think of other ways!"
Other methods, in fact, after discovering that the resistance in the west was very strong, Emperor Zhu Da was thinking about how to disintegrate the resistance in the west and central part.
"Exempt from land tax!"
"What?"
Qian Degong didn't react for a while.
"Through radio, newspapers and various other means, tell Americans that the empire will exempt land taxes, including property taxes!"
Emperor Zhu directly talked about his "big killer weapon",
“In the United States, the biggest burden for ordinary people is land tax, including property tax. The U.S. Homestead Law seems to give land to the people, allowing them to get a large piece of land by spending only five dollars.
But their houses need to pay property tax, and their land needs to pay land tax. For ordinary farmers, this is a heavy burden. Since it is a burden, we will exempt them from it!"
The Japanese Empire would never generously give land to the people for free. Their "Homestead Law" seemed to allow the people to own land, but from the day they registered, the tax rate was already set based on the land price. They needed to pay the tax rate every year.
Pay local taxes. If you do not pay, you will be sued in court. Of course, farmers will not wait until that day. They will mortgage a small piece of land to the bank and then use the money to pay taxes. If they default on the bank, their
Land and houses will be auctioned at low prices, houses will be knocked down, and fields will become his own.
"Farmers in the United States go bankrupt in many cases because they cannot afford land taxes, including property taxes. After all, as long as they have land, farmers will not starve to death. But the problem is that in the United States, farmers only have
If they can’t pay taxes on their land, they will go bankrupt!”
Emperor Zhu Da explained while talking about his idea.
"Of course, this tax exemption can be limited to 50 acres, which is the land granted by the Homestead Act. And the land of the vast majority of American farmers is within 50 acres. Well, in this way, it can at least dissolve the vast majority of ordinary
Farmer."
"Your Majesty is wise, as soon as this policy comes out, most farmers will definitely become supporters of imperial rule. After all, Americans..."
Qian Degong said with some excitement.
"There have never been Americans in this world. They may be the British, the French, the Germans, the Russians, the Swedes... As long as they are disintegrated and divided, the United States will cease to exist!"
Emperor Zhu Da smiled and nodded, and then said.
"The United States is a seam monster. How is the United States stitched together? We don't know for the time being, but what is certain is that at least for now, many people in the west and central China do not consider themselves Americans. Maybe they will not support us right now.
But we can at least give them a reason not to resist us."
Give them a reason not to resist!
This is enough. Just like San Dezi in Ukraine, when they entered, there were really many people who lined up to welcome San Dezi, thinking that they were liberated from Mao, but they didn't expect that San Dezi
What Zi did was even more extreme than Da Mao. As you can imagine, the original welcomers turned into resistance forces.
In fact, as long as San Dezi had complied with public opinion and divided the collective farms, the situation would have been completely different. San Dezi... was too confident in his own force. Conflicts must be prioritized, occupied and consolidated first, and then
In addition, the chicken wants to kill the chicken before it even enters its own cage. Let alone eat the chicken, it can't even eat the eggs. The final result is that the chicken will fly and the eggs will be beaten.
It's good to be confident, but don't be conceited.
Emperor Zhu Da was confident, but never arrogant. Moreover, the small-scale peasantry in the west was only good for the empire's rule, not bad.
After all, only the west, with its small-scale peasant economy, can absorb more immigrants, and of course these immigrants are not from Europe, but from China in the future.
Why does the North American continent belong to Europeans?
Why can't it be Chinese?
Currently, there are only more than 10 million Americans living in the West. As long as there is time, the future empire can completely turn that land into the Chinese nation through the continuous import of immigrants.
In order to resettle immigrants, small farms are the best choice.
After explaining his vision for the west, Emperor Zhu asked again.
"How is the situation in France currently?"
The reason why Emperor Zhu Da asked this was because... France was really in trouble.
