"That's right, this subject also agrees to expand. Great Qin cannot be strangled by the west!”
"Uh, I'm afraid not? Great Qin only has 15 million people, and there are less than one million youths of the right age to join the army…"
"The population? Recruiting the natives of the colonies to join the army! How did Great Britain manage the Indo Colony? If they could recruit the Indu people to form an army, Great Qin could learn from them!”
"Not good. The combat strength of the native army is not good. Raising these trash is a waste of energy and money!”
After Qi Yangsong expressed his stance, the military generals all responded and expressed their opinions, discussing how to expand.
The biggest problem was population.
If the plague from a few years ago hadn't happened, Great Qin wouldn't have had to worry about having a small population. It had 25 million people, and it could recruit 2 million young and strong people.
Not now. One million was already the limit.
If it exceeded one million, industrial production and the economy would be affected.
While the military general was frowning, the Foreign Affairs Minister, Gu Lingyun, who was usually silent during meetings and had a low sense of presence, spoke up.
" Your Majesty, the Jinling government of the Republic of China has already sent out six diplomatic requests, requesting to restore normal diplomatic relations with Great Qin and officially establish an embassy. I think we can agree…"
The Republic of China?
Hearing these words, everyone's eyes lit up!
That's right, planting flowers in the Republic of China.
After being ruined by Mianqing for more than 200 years, the nine provinces were poor. The level of industrial and economic development was extremely backward. The education system had just started, and the illiterate rate had reached an astonishing 90%.
In short, he lacked everything except people.
With a population of 400 million, it was undoubtedly the most populated country in the world.
If they could restore normal diplomatic relations with the Flower Country, the people of Qin would be able to migrate to Great Qin and solve the problem of a small population.
"Chang Kaishen isn't afraid of the Westerners? How dare he take the initiative to request the restoration of diplomatic relations?”
Qin Zhen asked in surprise.
After World War I, the Republic of China was forced to declare war on Great Qin.
After the war, Great Qin suffered a crushing defeat, and the western countries imposed unprecedented restrictions on Great Qin. What could a Republic of China do? They did not dare to keep a distance from Great Qin.
"Your Majesty, Fusang invaded the three eastern provinces. Chang Kaishen asked the Westerners for help, hoping that the Westerners could mediate and make Fusang withdraw from the three eastern provinces.”
" However, although the Westerners promised, they did not take any action. Instead, they shamelessly reached a secret agreement with Fusang. The agreement was that Fusang would send their navy to help Great Britain attack Great Qin, and Great Britain would not interfere with Fusang's invasion of the Three Eastern Provinces. Chang Kaishen must have seen through the ugly faces of the Westerners, which was why he requested to restore normal diplomatic relations.”
Gu Lingyun gave a rough analysis and concluded,"This subject suggests that we agree to the request to plant flowers because this is beneficial to Great Qin!”
"First of all, Great Qin's main race is the Han race, and the Flower Planters have no intention of alienating us. This is very beneficial for us to absorb more people to strengthen our country.”
"Secondly, Great Qin has a vast territory and abundant resources. Great Qin has all the resources it needs.”
"Third, the desire to plant flowers in Fusang is already Sima Zhao's desire. Everyone knows it. Are we going to watch our compatriots be trampled and humiliated by the Fusang shorty?”
At the mention of the Fusang invasion, everyone's faces instantly darkened, and the smell of gunpowder gradually grew in the air.
Almost all of Great Qin's people had the same attitude towards the Flower Land!
He missed her kindly and hoped that planting flowers would bring prosperity to the country and peace to the people. Hundreds of millions of compatriots would be well-fed and happy.
During the prosperous period of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang and Emperor Wen of Qin became sworn brothers. The Great Qin Dynasty became a country of brothers, so the Qin people often returned to their homeland to worship their ancestors. The merchants of the Ming Dynasty were also very willing to trade with the Great Qin Dynasty. The relationship between the two sides was very good.
However, in the middle and later stages of the Ming Dynasty, due to the endless emergence of strange emperors, the party struggles in Donglin became more and more intense. The landlord aristocrats wantonly annexed land, and natural disasters occurred frequently, causing the country's strength to continue to weaken.
By the time Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, Jian Nu in the northeast had already taken the opportunity to rise. The various peasant uprisings in the country had consumed the last of the Ming court's energy. In the end, even if Great Qin gave its full support, it could not avoid the fate of collapse and destruction.
Great Qin had not been doing well either. It had been besieged by the western countries for centuries, and if it had not been for the fact that it had a strong foundation and had implemented a new constitution, how could it have lasted until now?
As such, Great Qin, who could barely protect itself, could only watch as the Miqing poison the flowers and could do nothing.
The two hundred years of rule by the Mianqing had not only destroyed the national spirit of the flower farmers, but also turned them into ignorant and apathetic people. They had also shamelessly and cowardly knelt down to the western powers and signed a large number of unfair agreements.
Who in Qin didn't hate Fen Qing to the bone?
Now, Fusang, a small country that had evolved from a primitive civilization by learning knowledge and technology from planting flowers, dared to bully the flowers. Damn it!
"Your Majesty, I also think that we should restore normal diplomatic relations with the flower plantation.”
As the atmosphere grew heavier, Li Xiong spoke.
Qin Zhen was not in a hurry to make a decision. He asked with a faint smile,"Don't tell me you think that the Jinling government wants to ally with Great Qin?”
"You're wrong; I know Chang Kaishen very well; he's afraid of the westerners to the bone. How could he risk being targeted by the western countries and resolutely ally with Great Qin?”
"Chang Kaishen requested to restore normal diplomatic relations with the purpose of putting pressure on the western powers to help him suppress Fusang!”
This was not a random guess. Qin Zhen knew Chang Kaishen too well.
If Great Qin had not lost this battle, Chang Kaishen would have sincerely sought out Great Qin to suck up to him. Compared to the greedy and unreasonable western countries, Great Qin, which was also made up of Han people, was more trustworthy.
Those who are not of my race will definitely have different hearts!
However, Great Qin had suffered a crushing defeat, and he had been like a clay Buddha crossing the river. He could not even protect himself, and if he were to side with Great Qin, he would be courting death.
However, with the emergence of the Milky Way Trading Company, a large number of food resources were sent to Xianyang, and the most powerful fleet of the four countries in the world was defeated by the Qin army, Chang Kaishen was probably planning to scare the western powers.
If you don't help me, I'll join Great Qin!
In order to suppress Great Qin, there was a 90% chance that the western countries would compromise with Chang Kaishen.
Even if the industry, education, and technology were backward, and they were poor to the point of having nothing, they had a huge land area, rich resources, and a population of 400 million!
Great Qin was the complete opposite of growing flowers. It did not lack anything else, but it lacked resources and people. If Great Qin grew flowers, it would make up for their shortcomings.
Chang Kaishen had calculated this point accurately, which was why he dared to manipulate the western powers!
His little plan was really good! Qin Zhen could hear it even in Indu Ocean.
"Your Majesty, are you saying that Chang Kaishen is using Great Qin?”
"Okay, call the Jinling government and agree to restore diplomatic relations. We will also invite Chang Kaishen to visit Great Qin!”
