I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Qian Sule's words are not perfunctory Miyazaki Ichiro, it involves millions of dollars, and he really can't make up his mind.

Ichiro Miyazaki was appeased first, and then he quickly reported to the imperial court.

Specially used to deliver urgent letters is the clipper, which reaches a terrifying 30 knots.

From Ibusuki to Shanghai, 20 hours is enough.

This kind of ship is slender, with a narrow interior space, and it is also equipped with a steam engine for propulsion. The whole idea of ​​​​building the ship revolves around speed.

This kind of ship is equivalent to the army's scout horse, without a trace of combat effectiveness, it just runs fast.

Qian Sule's memorial was presented to Wu Changqing, and there were already suggestions from cabinet ministers on it.

The cabinet members were not interested in this deal, and suggested that Wu Changqing should ignore it.

Not only is the attitude of the civil servants like this, but the military is not too concerned about this deal.

After all, in the eyes of the military, if you really want this place, you can just send a troop to take it down. Why spend money to buy it?

Five million is enough for their military to fight several wars.

As for Wenchen, it was mainly because the price was too expensive and felt unnecessary.

After all, in terms of geographical location and natural resources, Southern Kyushu is a little less interesting, and there is no place that can impress Dahua.

It's not worth spending five million for such a place.

There are too many things that can be done by smashing these five million into construction.

Buying a Southern Kyushu seems to have no benefit except to satisfy the vanity of expanding the territory.

If Dahua had not annexed North Korea, then for the vanity of expanding its territory, let alone five million, ten million would have to be spent.

But now Dahua has annexed North Korea and Ryukyu, and even has a stronghold in North Africa.

Dahua has expanded enough territory, and there is no symbolic meaning for any more.

Wu Changqing was not satisfied with the suggestions of the cabinet and the military department. He actually wanted to buy it.

Although buying it, it will definitely lose money in the short term, but in the long run, it will definitely make a profit without losing money.

More importantly, Wu Changqing needed a platform to show the people of Fusang the beautiful life of Dahua.

Now the life of the people in Dahua is much better than that of Fusang. Most of the upper-level people in Fusang know it, but the people at the bottom of Fusang don't know much.

Not to mention this age, even in the 21st century, it is not easy to travel far away.

From Fusang to Shanghai, 99.9% of Fusang people can be persuaded to leave the price of a single ferry ticket.

If you haven't been to Dahua, you must be unable to intuitively feel the goodness of Dahua.

If you don't know, naturally you won't be envious, and it's not conducive to Wu Changqing's assimilation policy.

And as long as the Southern Kyushu is taken down, and then the Southern Kyushu is vigorously supported, the construction there is beautiful, and the people of Fusang there can live a good life.

You can imagine what the surrounding Fusang people would think when they saw it.

It is human instinct to pursue a better life.

At that time, I am afraid that the name of Fusang will have to block the border and prevent the people below from seeing the truth, just like the Jin Dynasty in later generations.

Otherwise, those people who see the obvious comparison will frantically flood into Southern Kyushu, flock to Dahua, and actively hope to become Dahua's citizens.

Not to mention in this era when national consciousness is relatively weak, even in later generations, there are a lot of people who are desperately trying to smuggle.

What kind of patriotic sentiment is, after all, the ideological realm pursued by a few people.

The general public just wants to eat well, eat well, and dress warmly.

And, there's nothing wrong with that either.

Wu Changqing wanted to make Southern Kyushu a platform to show the life of Dahua to the people of Fusang, so as to differentiate the relationship between the people of Fusang and the nobles of Fusang.

Although, the relationship between the Fusang ruler and the people was not good.

However, under the deceit of the Fusang ruler, the people of Fusang below will also hate Dahua.

Once the seeds of this hatred are planted, it will be more difficult to rule and assimilate in the future.

But if there is such a platform, so that the people of Fusang can clearly see the ruler's deceit, they will fall to Dahua.

The value of this intangible identity cannot be measured by money.

In short, Wu Changqing felt that it was definitely worth more than five million.

Subsequently, Wu Changqing summoned the top officials of the cabinet and the military to give them important instructions.

"Since ancient times, the difficulty of ruling a place has been much higher than the difficulty of conquering a place. This is particularly prominent in our Dahua, because we are basically invincible militarily.

Therefore, rather than occupying a place, we need to pay more attention to how to effectively manage it after occupying a place.

The assimilation policy is our basic national policy. Don't forget this.

So, how can you more effectively assimilate those barbarians, have you ever thought about it..."

Wu Changqing said a lot, and the people below didn't dare to breathe.

Because they misunderstood, they thought Wu Changqing was angry and dissatisfied with their comprehension ability.

But in fact, Wu Changqing is only in pursuit of efficiency.

Wouldn't it be the same as just telling them, instead of wasting time with all kinds of explicit and implicit hints to get them to understand?

Even though it has been several years since he came to this world, Wu Changqing's way of thinking is still the same as that of people in this era.

It's a little bit different.

"I thought that the place of Fusang South Kyushu must be bought. The best way to assimilate people in a place is to let them take the initiative to join us, rather than force them.

People have a rebellious mentality, and the more they are persecuted, the more they resist. On the contrary, the more they disagree with them, they will often try their best to join.

For example, Wei Xianghua and others, isn't that the case? "

Ruan Dacheng said.

At his age, in order to keep up with Wu Changqing's footsteps, he usually studies very hard.

So, as soon as Wu Changqing said it, he realized it.

"But, can't you just attack it directly? Why do you have to spend money to buy it? This place is not even under the control of Satsuma domain."

Liu Hansan asked.

"Commander Liu, didn't Mr. Ruan just say it. The more we use force to persecute, the more they will not be convinced. If you buy it with money, you can convince the other party."

Hong Chengchou explained.

"I need a dedicated person to do this. It needs to be done beautifully. It doesn't matter how much money you spend, it must be effective. For example, when negotiating, you can't just talk to Shimadzu Mitsuhisa, you have to bring in representatives of the rebels.

When buying this land, you also have to buy the hearts and minds of those rebels. The best thing is to find a way to get those rebels to actively seek our help, and finally we stand up and give help. "

Wu Changqing put forward ideas, and the specific plans and details were left to these ministers to think about.

With the ability of these people to engage in officialdom, it shouldn't be difficult to come up with the best of both worlds.
