Chapter 28. Japan is also very important
Kant said that.

It is because the Southeast Asian countries, as well as Japan, North Korea and other countries, have certain security concerns.

British colonial expansion in India.

The whole of southern India became a colony of the British.

Countries such as the Mughal Empire in northern India are also in jeopardy.

In this situation.

Of course, the countries of Southeast Asia and East Asia are afraid.

Therefore, Zhu Daohua's "West Threat Theory" is very popular in the East in this era.

And he didn't just talk about the threat from the West, but also gave a solution.

It certainly sounds reasonable.

Zhu Daohua systematically analyzed the advantages of Westerners in the article.

Based on this fact, a solution is given.

Countries must first ensure that their own countries will not be impacted by Western commodities and culture.

On this basis, train a team of new officers, and then build a new army on this basis! !

This is a palliative measure against Western colonial aggression.

That is to say, we must first have a certain ability to protect ourselves.

This is the method summed up here as "country-based foreign use".

Keep the roots of the country, and learn from Westerners' guns, cannons, and military training.

This principle is of course good.

But this is not enough.

in the article.

Zhu Daohua pointed out.

The key to the Eastern countries can really avoid being colonized by the West.

It is the re-emergence of the Celestial Empire.

in history.

The eastern countries are all vassal states of the Celestial Empire.

This oriental order has profoundly affected the entire oriental world.

The cultures of many countries are derived from Chinese culture.

Moreover, in this era when nationalism in Eastern countries has not yet developed.

There is no obstacle in acknowledging the idea that "Chinese culture is the father of national culture".

Compared with the vicious Westerners.

The people of China are obviously much more kind.

".The Manchus came to China with barbarians. Although they were big, they were weak and weak to the outside world. They did not have the benevolence and righteousness to protect the eastern countries. The root cause of the difficulties faced by the eastern countries at this time lies in the weakness of the celestial dynasty and the fall of China. If you want to completely resist the disaster of the European countries, you must expel the Tartars and revive China. China is the father of the Eastern countries, and the Eastern countries are the sons. Combine the strength of the Eastern countries, and the European countries have no chance!"

This set of rhetoric.

If it is placed in modern times.

That certainly had no repercussions—since 1840, China's sphere of influence has been shrinking.

to modern times.

The original barriers of the Celestial Empire have all disappeared, and even the surrounding countries have become tools for foreign forces to blockade and encircle China.

However in modern times.

The influence of the Celestial Empire is still there, and the remaining prestige still exists.

Coupled with the aggressive threats of European colonists.

This set of rhetoric was easily recognized by the original celestial barriers.

This is especially true in countries such as North Korea and Annan.

Of course.

The foundation of being able to support this set of rhetoric lies in strength.

It lies in the strength in Zhu Daohua's hands.

The theory of the threat of the West, the use of the country's roots, and the restoration of the order of the Celestial Dynasty.

Three propositions of this article.

It will definitely cause repercussions in the Eastern countries.

Plus Zhu Daohua's own identity.

So that's for sure.

This article will soon appear in the cases of the rulers of Japan, Korea, Ryukyu, Siam, Annan, Burma and other countries.

It doesn't even need to be translated into national languages.

Because the lingua franca of the aristocracy in these countries is Chinese and Chinese characters.

"I don't think the countries will necessarily vote for your camp at this time."

Kant said.

"Of course I know, so I'm not in a hurry."

Zhu Daohua laughed.

"This is just a seed. How far this seed can germinate. Let's wait and see."

After some polishing by Kant, Zhu Daohua personally translated the "On the Founding of a Strong Army", together with Kant's written and translated "European Chronicles" signed by Zhu Daohua, soon followed the news of Zhu Daohua's defeat of the Dutch fleet in Nanyang. All over the countries of the Eastern world.

With this news came.

It is an invitation letter from the [Nanyang Trade Order Talks] of the Ming Palace.

Contrary to Kant's prediction that Zhu Daohua would start his work on the Southeast Asian countries first.

Zhu Daohua's most important thing.
It turned out to be Japan.

So soon a few warships went north, carrying letters from Zhu Daohua inviting Tokugawa Ieaki, the Edo shogunate, and Nakamatsudaira, the old shogun, to Batam to inspect the new army and to participate in the talks on the Nanyang trade order, and circled the east side of Taiwan Island. All the way to Japan.

The reason why Zhu Daohua attaches great importance to Japan.

Because of.
Japan is right on one side of the North Pacific Gyre.

Ships departing from Japan.

The Vancouver generation can float directly along the ocean currents to future generations.

This saves a lot of sailing time than starting from Taiwan or the Yangtze River Estuary.

Sailboats of this era had a limited load capacity.

And more crews are needed.

In order to maintain the crew survival needs.

It is necessary to load a large amount of fresh water and supplies.

Starting from Japan can save more than 20 days than starting from the mouth of the Yangtze River.

The freed up space can carry more people and goods
Zhu Daohua, who is familiar with the situation of later generations, is very clear.

China's only opponent in the future is now on the other side of the ocean, the United States that has just gained independence!

There is still a very large area on the west side of the current North American continent that belongs to the local indigenous people and the Spaniards.

The reason why the United States can rise to become the world's number one power in later generations is that it continued to harvest scalp resources for more than a hundred years in the 18th century, launched a bloody westward policy, and occupied the most fertile territory in the entire North American continent.

It was the best farming land in the world.

Later generations of China were about the same size as the United States.

China has to protect the red line of 18 billion mu of arable land.

The total arable land on the other side of the Pacific Ocean easily exceeds 40 billion.

Only 20 billion are actually being developed and used, and rotation farming can also be carried out.

Anyway, Zhu Daohua was quite envious when he saw this piece of land.

This kind of place is much better than Nanyang.

Therefore, for Zhu Daohua, Japan serves as a springboard for his future plans for North America. Before he set foot in mainland China, he started to play Japan.
of course.

Zhu Daohua's letters were not only sent to Japan.

It also includes North Korea, Annan Sishan Dynasty, Nguyen Phuc Anh regime, Siam and other countries.

Before digesting the news that the Dutchman was defeated by Zhu Daohua.

Letter from Zhu Daohua.

Together with one of his articles and one book.

Together, they were sent to the hands of high-level officials in various countries.

"Saint! This is the saint of the Zhu family!"

"Japan is saved! Japan is saved!!!"

This year, only the Japanese Edo shogunate Tokugawa Iechi has read Zhu Daohua's masterpiece.

Couldn't help yelling.

Looking at the side of the Minister Tuogu, the chief old Nakamatsu Taira Nobuo could not help but slightly frowned.

"Public style"

Hear Matsudaira's reminder.

The young shogun had no choice but to sit up straight.

"Master, do you agree with the principles of the Zhu family sage?"

Song Ping said with confidence, you say that he is a saint, how can I disagree?

But the reasoning of the sage of the Zhu family is of course good.

It is especially good for Japan.

Now Japan is also facing pressure from the Dutch, the Spaniards, and even the British.

They also fell into a daze in such a turbulent collision between the East and the West, so they chose to close the country.

But people of insight in Japan know that locking the country is just a stopgap measure.

Now there are already many places where strong feudal vassals have connections with Westerners.

Once they are strong.

It is a matter of minutes to start the curtain down.

"Then shall we?"

Tokugawa Jiaqi looked at the old middle school with great anticipation.

Matsudaira Sadanobu thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "Emperor Zhu's reasoning is good, but he is not strong, with no more than [-] troops, and no more than a few islands."

"Besides, Nanyang trade has little to do with my Japanese dry cleaning. Since the Dutch have been defeated by the Zhu family emperor, it is enough for the Dutch to give the Zhu family emperor the right to trade in Japan in the future."

“As for traveling to Nanyang”

Matsudaira Sadanobu thought for a while.

"Let Zhiguo and Manji go."

Tokugawa Jiaqi showed regret on his face. He really wanted to go to Batam Island to meet the Zhu family emperor who led the army to defeat the Dutch.

But now he is not in charge.

The power rests in the hands of Matsudaira Sadanobu.

Tokugawa Jiaqi could not refute the decision he made.

"I can understand letting the country go, what is Manji going to do?"

Tokugawa Zhiguo and Tokugawa Miki are the younger brother and younger sister of Tokugawa Iezari.

Letting the two go is not a loss of Zhu Daohua's face.

"Of course it's a marriage."

There was a smile on Matsudaira Sadanobu's face.

"The emperor of the Zhu family has become a blockbuster, and now he is guaranteed to be the king of Nanyang. If he can take Jiangnan in the future, he will rule the river with the Qing Dynasty"

Tokugawa Jiaqi understood.

This is an early investment.

I heard that the emperor of the Zhu family is not very old.

But now it has been able to lead more than ten thousand troops across Southeast Asia.
Really enviable.

Tokugawa Jiaqi clenched the book in his hand.

It seems to be tightly grasping the world of the Tokugawa family.

　There is no recommendation, not even one to test the waters.
　　Cool cool ah cool cool.

　　Brothers can support a wave.
