Chapter 596 Industrial Layout

In terms of industrial layout, Dong Shuheng pays more attention to local balance.

In the local area, Dong Shuheng did not want to artificially separate heavy industrial zones and light industrial zones, but divided them into several comprehensive industrial zones based on photo zones.

For example, Xinjing and its surrounding industrial zones radiate to northern regions such as Monan, Mobei, Extreme North, and Yuehu, as well as northeastern regions such as Guanwai and Far East.

For example, the Jianghuai Industrial Base centered on Yangzhou, Jiangning, and Shanghai radiates to the entire central and southeastern regions.

In the south, Dong Shuheng established an industrial base with a mix of light and heavy industries in Guangzhou and Foshan, radiating to the entire southern region, including Indochina and Nanyang.

The southwest is building a southwest industrial base with Wuchang, Hanyang, Chongqing, Chengdu and other prefectures as the core.

In the northwest, the northwest industrial base is established with Taiyuan Prefecture, Chang'an City, and Lanzhou Prefecture as the core, radiating to the northwest region and the entire Western Region and Central Asia.

Each regional industrial base has its own complete set of light and heavy industries, including steel, smelting, machinery manufacturing, textiles, food deep processing, daily necessities manufacturing, etc.

Each industrial base can operate independently and has its own radiation surface.

This can ensure that the local area has always been the core area of ​​the Greater China Circle.

As for other places in the Greater China Circle, Dong Shuheng tried his best to plan them to become part of the industrial chain.

The benefits of doing this can only be felt but cannot be expressed in words.

Within the Greater China Circle, there is only one local place with a complete industrial chain.

For example, the small Chinese countries and vassal states in Southeast Asia mainly provide the locals with food, minerals, rubber and other industrial raw materials.

At most, there are some rough processing factories for minerals and factories for wood pre-processing in the local area.

Food deep processing, metal smelting, industrial application of rubber, etc. are all in China.

The Korean Peninsula and Japan are mainly cheap labor supply places. Only some people's livelihood industries will be developed here.

Dong Shuheng will not allow industrialization here.

Without Dong Shuheng's support, there would be no way to industrialize here. Because both places lack resources, industrialization cannot be completed without external input.

In the western part of North America, mopping is newly opened, and the development model here is still based on development for the time being.

Increase the population here as much as possible. The development here is like doing a copy and paste.

For the Renaissance Army, this is also a new continent.

White Europeans can copy and paste a white civilization here, and Dong Shuheng believes that he can also create a new circle of Chinese civilization here.

But to be honest, Dong Shuheng hasn't fully thought about how to build this circle.

However, it is certain that this copy-paste process is more complicated and much slower.

Dong Shuheng actually has the intention to create a big country here that is comparable to his own.

By then, the Chinese will have the final say on both sides of the Pacific.

It can at least ensure that half of the say on the entire planet is in the hands of the Chinese.

At this time, on the opposite side of the East China Sea, the Fuso Protectorate has been established.

Qi Bin is a thoughtful person, and he can actually recruit a large number of people in Fuso to build the Protectorate.

But he didn't do this. He made a list of the talents needed to build the Protectorate and sent it back to the country.

As a retainer, and one who was born in Fusang, Dong Shuheng's ability to allow him to handle Fusang's affairs with full authority was a sign of great trust in him.

At the same time, it can also be said to be a test for him.

When dealing with the Fusang matter this time, Qi Bin actually offended Wen Yanyuan and other Hanchens who were originally in Fusang.

He knew that he couldn't make a mistake at this time, otherwise someone would be willing to make a fuss about this matter.

Qi Bin single-handedly created the Fuso Protectorate, and he also hopes to work hard for Fuso to integrate into the Greater China circle from this position.

This is the place where he can realize his ideals, so he doesn't want to lose this position because of rumors or suspicions.

It only takes three days for the report to reach the nearest local port city to Fuso via a fast communication ship, and then it can be immediately transmitted to the cabinet and Dong Shuheng via telegraph.

The Great Protectorate has a large territory directly under its jurisdiction, and it needs people to manage it.

Qi Bin is preparing to fully implement Chinese culture here. Fusang's culture was originally learned from China.

Qi Bin now just wants Fusang to learn it more thoroughly. He might as well copy it.

Why should we modify it and create our own characteristics? What's the point?

This is simply the hope of those in power to ensure Fuso's independence and maintain their rule.

But Qi Bin also hopes that Fusang can fully integrate into the Greater China Circle, the kind of integration that involves wholeheartedly.

So he felt that the original characteristic culture of Fuso should be abandoned.

Putting aside language, culture and height, the difference between Fusang and Tianchao is actually not that big.

As for other vassal states, Qi Bin will also gradually promote Chineseization through the influence of the Great Protectorate.

This is not too difficult, but don’t be too hasty. Sinology is already very popular here in Fuso.

The knowledgeable people in Fuso usually use Chinese characters.

As for those ordinary people who are illiterate, they only know how to be obedient, but if they want to integrate into the Greater China circle, they must gradually learn the pronunciation of Mandarin.

Otherwise, language alone would be a barrier between the two parties.

The mainland of China is also promoting Mandarin. In some places, the gap between dialects and Mandarin is even greater than that of Fusang dialect.

From this point of view, Fusang dialect can only be regarded as a dialect of China.

The 1st Marine Brigade remained in Fusang for the time being, helping to quell the rebels fleeing from various places. It was with this army that Qi Bin was able to stabilize the political situation.

The 1st Marine Brigade is equipped with the latest equipment of the Renaissance Army. All soldiers use the latest F1854 rifles, whose rate of fire and accuracy are not comparable to those of the rebel British Minie rifles.

Rotary machine guns and mortars are all equipped to the company. The firepower configuration is more powerful than that of the ordinary Renaissance Army.

This is the main force that Dong Shuheng specially created and is still fighting.

Many Japanese people have not yet reacted to the great changes that have just passed. The situation has changed so quickly.

At first, everyone thought that the overthrow army was going to win.

Many vassal states are already preparing to change their clans.

But with the strong intervention of the Renaissance Army, the situation suddenly took a 180-degree turn.

The bold and rebellious plan proposed by Qi Bin, although somewhat shameless, was too attractive to these original vassal states.

Who wouldn't want to be the leader of a country, the real leader?

Power is like a bottle of tempting poison. Even though you know it's poisonous, you can't help but want to try it.

As a former feudal lord, Qi Bin knows very well what these people think because he was once one of them.

It's just that Qi Bin has jumped out of this well now. His horizons have already broadened and he has a clear view of the power of the vassal state.

So when he made plans to serve, he knew that the feudal lord would definitely support him in the end.

When dividing the territories of these vassal states, Qi Bin also used some small means to try to have a large and evenly matched large vassal state on the edge of the large vassal state to contain it, and try to place micro vassal states in dangerous places.

This can prevent some vassal states from occupying the mountain as kings and disobeying the management, which will be troublesome to destroy when the time comes.

Even if a small vassal state occupies a dangerous terrain, it does not have the courage and ability to challenge the Protectorate.

After working in Mobei for two years, Qi Bin also gained some experience.

Under the rule of the Duhufu, most of them are autonomous vassals, and what the Duhufu has to do is not only to keep these vassals stable, but also to constantly weaken the branches and strengthen the trunk.

Subtly weaken each vassal state and enhance the strength of the Protectorate.

While in Mobei, Qi Bin arranged to penetrate the three major khanates economically and politically, and achieved good results.

Now Mobei has basically been decided by the Protectorate.

Because the economy of the three major khanates has been tied to the Protectorate.

Herdsmen are accustomed to selling wool and livestock in exchange for Chinese dollars.

Then use Hua Yuan to buy flour, tea, cloth and other daily necessities.

This model of returning goods has greatly strengthened herders' ability to fight against natural disasters.

For example, a herdsman can feed his family for three days by killing a sheep.

But exchanging one sheep for fifty pounds of flour can feed a family for ten days.

And if the flour is stored carefully, it will not go bad after being eaten for several months.

In summer, meat can only be stored for a few days unless it is made into dried meat.

Once the herdsmen have tried this kind of life, they cannot live without it. But this is all based on integration with the Protectorate.

Only after integration can the caravan from the Protectorate be able to enter the pastoral areas unimpeded.

In addition, the court established by the Mobei Protectorate deprived the Khanate of its power to seize the life and death of herdsmen.

After the lives and property of the herdsmen were protected, the dependence relationship with the nobles of the Khanate gradually broke down.

As time goes by, these people will only recognize the Protectorate.

The nobles of the Khanate will gradually become large ranchers due to the erosion of trade.

If one day they find that the pasture in their hands can bring them enough profits.

It allows them to live a good life in a big city like Xinjing. Maybe by then, they will voluntarily give up their original political status.

Now the Renaissance Army wants the heirs of the Khanate nobles to come to Xinjing to receive education.

On the surface, it is an incentive measure, but in fact it is to let these future kings experience life in the civilized world.

When they return to the grassland, they will definitely miss their days in Xinjing.

Although Qi Bin has just established the Fuso Protectorate, he already has a complete plan.

However, in order to prevent those vassal states from rebounding, this plan must be implemented step by step.

First, he must first digest the territory currently under the direct jurisdiction of the Great Protectorate.

The direct territory around Osaka is equivalent to the size of a prefecture in the mainland.

The Marine Brigade cannot be stationed here forever.

The Renaissance Army cannot always maintain so many troops here.

At most, a reinforced regiment can be stationed here as before.

Other armies have to be maintained by the Protectorate using their own income.

Currently, part of the revenue of the Protectorate comes from its direct territories.

Another part is the contribution each vassal country pays based on its population and size.

A large portion of this revenue goes to the Navy.

Because the navy needs to maintain a cruise fleet around Fuso and build some naval bases.

The Fuxing District must come up with this money itself.

If there were not so many vassal states and the Renaissance Army would use its own military expenditures to protect them, it would definitely drag down the finances of the Renaissance Army.

Dong Shuheng's calculations were very accurate. The army in Fusang must be supported by the vassal state of Fusang.

It's like collecting protection money.
