“Take a push?”Wu Haogu picked up a paper again, frowned and looked at the roll, while looking at the roll, while talking to his son about things.“Where are you going to push the trolls?”

“Or let Jing Chu become a family, or push Jing Chu into the East Song.”

It’s a good old word, just shaking your head.Wu Sanro is just a legal expert and has a considerable understanding of economic issues.And he also has a group of followers who also come from the Yuntai School of Law, and can also get advice from the executives of the Republican Bank and Tianjin Bank.This allowed him to navigate the internal affairs of the Republic.

But for the "internal relations problem", he did not know much, at least did not study in depth.He only saw that the Western Song had two or three hundred thousand military households, the place was wide, and the population was large, and he thought that the Western Song was the strong enemy of Zhou Guo.The East Song is just a loose ten-state United States, and the Wu Mei Mai, who is in power, takes it for granted that there is no harm in the Eastern Song Dynasty.

And this understanding is quite wrong!

“Shu should go to the West!”Wu Haogu's tone is quite serious, "because the West Song is not enough to worry about, and the East Song is the country's big trouble!"

“Is the East Coast a big deal?How is it possible?”Wu Yi was very sad, “The eldest sister is in charge of the East Song Dynasty!”

“Your sister can’t be against you anymore?”Wu Haogu asked, "You remember, the most ruthless imperial family!"The beauty is now in the imperial family... and the strength of the Western Song is in the inland, in the plowing and fighting.Qin, Han, and Tang dynasties relied on plowing and war, that is, military lords.The future is at sea, but in business.For the future, Jing Chu is still good, Guan Long is not.And whether it is Guan Long or Jing Chu, it is not the East Song, and the two are not rivals together."

“How?”Wu Yijiu shook his head, "Since the ancient Pingjiang South is the upper Ba Shu, the midstream of the Jingxiang ship at the same time, down the stream."If Jing Chu enters the West Song, then the middle and upper reaches of Jiangnan are enemies.”

"Oh, you think that now is the time for Wang's towering ship to Yizhou, Jinling King's spirit is sad to receive?"It is time for artillery ships.What is the use of the ship?The sailors of the Eastern Song Dynasty will lose to the dry ducks of Guan Long, across the South and the West.Moreover, the width of the Yangtze River can be completely sealed with heavy guns.Dongsong only needs to build a river defense bastion in Jiangzhou (the Jiujiang area), and set up 24 pounds of giant guns, which is enough to deal with the upstream building ships.The financial resources and construction capacity of East Song can completely block the Yangtze River channel with bastions.

In addition, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in the hands of the East Song Dynasty, their sailors can conduct a comprehensive survey, clean up the waterway for heavy gunboats to enter and exit, and can also specially design the Yangtze River type gunboat.

Therefore, the future of the Yangtze River waterway will inevitably be firmly grasped by the East Song Dynasty!Without the Yangtze River, Xisong could not threaten the East Song at all.”

The view of Wu Haogu is based on the experience of later generations.Although the Southern Song Dynasty in history was destroyed by the Mongolian army flowing down from Xiangyang.But the Southern Song Dynasty and the East Song Dynasty, which has now become a bourgeois United State, are not the same thing at all!

The Yellow Water Navy of the East Song Dynasty can be countered by the New Week Navy!The artillery cast in the East Song and the new week's can be said to be up and down.There may be a gap in field guns, but it is almost identical in heavy coastal guns and naval guns.

How can such a large and slow building ship withstand the bronze cannon bombardment of the East Song Dynasty?

Not to mention the battle on the water.If the opponent does not have the advantage of no big ship to flow, how can the highly specialized East Song Navy lose to the dry ducks of Guanlong?

And can not control the Yangtze River, Xisong is not the way to conquer the East Song from the land.

In this era, the development of Jiangnan is insufficient, all cities rely on water for traffic, and later places where railways and highways have been repaired, many are still forests and hills.It is not suitable for the army!

That is to say, who controls the main flow of the Yangtze River, can control a series of tributaries connected to it, and also control the entire waterway transportation system of Jiangnan.By controlling this system, it can quickly and quickly transport troops to any attack position, and there is no need to worry about logistics transfer.

The cost of water transport in Jiangnan is relatively dry than land transportation, which can be ignored!

Western Song, who does not have the ability to transport by waterway, really wants to invade the East in a big way, and will definitely be dragged down by his own poor logistics system.

"But the East Song can't threaten the West Song."Wu Yijiu said, "The West Song can also build a paedo river defense fortress on the Yangtze River.Although their artillery is not as good as the East Song, but hard work, can also cast more than 20 pounds of giant guns.Even if the huge river waterproof army is not formed, it is enough to block the fleet of the East Song Dynasty from the downstream.

In addition, the population of the Western Song Dynasty is larger than that of the Eastern Song Dynasty, and the number of military households is more.Compared with the two Songs, it is always weak and strong."

“How can the East be strong?”Wu Haogu shook his head, "San Lang, it is now the era of navigation!"You can't ignore the ocean's help for the East Song Dynasty.The East Song industry and commerce that is helped by the sea is enough to compete with our large-week industry and commerce.And the fertile soil of Jiangnan can also be nourished.Don't look at the East Song Dynasty's population is less than ours and the West Song, but in time, it may overtake us.

In addition, the East Song is closer to the South Ocean and the West, and it is also more conducive to profiting from the trade of the South Ocean and the West.There are enough benefits to maintain a strong navy.The strength of the Navy can also promote the development of Southeast Business.In the long run, the West Song is not worried, and the East Song is a big problem!

If I want to mix with the sea, I must first annex the East Song!”

This view of Wu Haogu is the opposite of China's historical weight in the north and light in the south, and the heavy west and east.

But in the context of the burgeoning of the bourgeoisie and the future industrial revolution, it is necessarily correct.

It is almost certain that the industrial revolution will inevitably appear in the new week and the East Song Dynasty.And the West Song... engaged in the industrial revolution?Regardless of the cost, relying on the official industry to force the promotion?Something impossible.

It is good that the West Song did not complete into a serf-like state like Cruthen.Moreover, the Western Song Dynasty does not have such a broad space for the development of Cixian Russia, nor does it have such a sea outlet as St. Petersburg.

Its development to the east of the space was blocked by the East Song and New Week.The only possible development direction is the West... and the more westward, the farther west is from industrialization.

"Paddy," Wu Yijiu frowned, "if the East Song is a big headache, then how can we ensure that the big week can defeat the East Song in the future?"

“First of all, you can’t let the East Song take over!”Wu Hao Ancient Road, "Jing Chu has a vast area, and relying on the Yangtze River, Han Shui, and Xiangjiang Waterway, it is easy to become part of the East Song Dynasty."If Jing Chu enters the East Song Dynasty, the population of the East Song will inevitably reach 10,000 in the future!

How many people can we feed in our place?The Central Plains and Hebei are broken, there are too many mountains in Gory, and it is too cold north of the Liao River Basin.The inability to raise people is Liao Province, Shandong, and North and South.You can’t stand up for everyone!”

“How can I get into the West?”

Gosh: “I’ll do this!My mother is my daughter, I know what she wants.”

“All right!”He nodded, “Please, Dad.”

Wu Haogu also said, "It is not enough to push the Chu into the West Song, we also need to annex Japan!"

“What?”“Dad wants to annex Japan?”

“Yes!”Wu Hogu Dao said, "From the current situation, Japan is rich in gold and silver, and its people are similar to the Han Chinese, and they also use Chinese characters, and the upper level is also Chinese, and they believe in Chinese Buddhism."Moreover, its domestic crumbled, and the implementation of the manor seal system, it is difficult to form a joint force.

Tens of thousands of Bohai people in the region can occupy the soil of northeast Japan, not to mention the strength of my big country?

Moreover, the Japanese land is not a projectile, and the size is no less than that of Liaodong and Liaxi.Although it is an island country, there are also large plains, which Japan itself calls the land of the east of Bandong, no less than the south.The Bohai Sea people are also based on the Bohai Islands (Hokkaido) also have plains and black soil, which is no less fertile than Liaodong.

If we have a Japanese island, we can colonize it.The barren land of the Central Plains can also breathe... With the land of the Japanese islands, raising 15 to 20 million people is not a problem.Japan also has a large number of gold and silver mines, and a good port, can develop industry and commerce.

With Japan, our big week will not be overshadowed by the East Song!”

The purpose of Wu Haogu's conquest of Japan was not entirely to use Japanese land to raise more Chinese people.But in his view: only if you want to conquer the world, you must first conquer America; if you want to conquer America, you must conquer Japan first.

If you look at the map, you can see it.If you don't take Japan, where will the fleet bound for the New World depart from in the future?

Japan is the starting point!From Japan to the North Pacific route to the North American island of Vancouver is more than 6,000 kilometers.Less than five thousand kilometres from England to Malacca, but not too far.If you want to bypass Japan and start directly from Korea, it is more than 8,000 kilometers away.From Jiangnan, there are 9,000 kilometers.

Don't underestimate the two or three thousand kilometers, and you have to float for ten days at a speed of five knots.The fresh water and food consumed in these ten days are nothing on land.In the sea that cannot be replenished, the load and cargo of the sailing ship will be seriously reduced.

So once the discovery of the New World, East Asia entered the era of great navigation, and Japan will become a very critical region.

And no matter where you go, as long as you walk in the North Pacific, there is no way to avoid the waters near Japan.

It can be said that the Japanese, the ocean, the Americas!

Now that the war on the East Asian continent has come to an end, the three-legged trend has become, and there should be no possibility of breaking before the advent of the industrial revolution.

Therefore, the competition at sea will determine the future of the East Asian continent.

And Japan is the key point of the sea race!
