Iron Dynasty

This America is really rich, and at once took out sixty million francs.

Gao Yingfeng was speechless.

60 million francs to buy the Louisiana region is definitely worth it for the United States, which is equivalent to doubling the size of the United States, said one general.

Zhu Sansi said: The South of North America has always been relatively wealthy, but it is only wealthy. Now the United States is still very weak and has not established a strong enough army. Now the task of the Eastern Military Region is to seize this opportunity to seize more land. Waiting to destroy it.

Gao Yingfeng said loudly: Commander, the soldiers are all eagerly waiting. As long as an order is given, Canada will belong to the Empire.

Zhu Sansi nodded, Start preparing for the war from now on, and attack Canada in fifteen days.

Yes, Commander!

Yizhou.

Ye Qingyun hung up the phone with a smile on his face. It was Emperor Xiao Ming who called him.

After he was transferred as the commander of the Southwest Army, he finally received his first task, and he marched south to occupy the East Indochina region of France.

At present, only East Indochina is still a European colony in the Southeast Asian region, and all other regions have been taken over by the Empire and become the overseas colonies of the Empire.

Because of this, East Indochina is very unpleasant in the territory of the empire. Now, this area marked as a colony of France is about to change its name.

After being excited, Ye Qingyun immediately summoned his generals to deploy to attack East Indochina.

In November of the seventh year of the imperial calendar, Ye Qingyun led 40,000 Southwest Army troops to the south, and Zhu Sansi launched an attack on the French colony Canada at almost the same time.

After the War of India, the French power in East Indochina was already very weak. The Southwest Army successively conquered Annan, Laos, and the Indochina Peninsula area where Cambodia was located, becoming the force to replace France in this area.

And Zhu Sansi's attack was also unexpectedly smooth. After starting from Alaska, Zhu Sansi's army encountered very weak resistance, and most of the French army was transferred back to the country because of the civil war.

This created very favorable conditions for Zhu Sansi.

When the news of victory came, the newspapers of the Empire boiled over, and the entire page was filled with news from Canada and Indochina.

And some shrewd businessmen can immediately plan to let their goods enter these areas.

Royal study.

Xiao Ming marked the map of Indochina and Canada. For him, Indochina and Canada were his possessions after the war in India.

He was just waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity for the Empire to acquire these two huge colonies at a small price.

The French Civil War is an opportunity for the empire, and the return of Mizhu is a testament to the current bad situation in France, and they can't take these two colonies into consideration at all.

Your Majesty, this is another victory for the empire. Occupying Canada, the empire's territory has grown again. Qian Dafu said with a smile.

Xiao Ming nodded slightly, but he thought more than Qian Dafu, he said: The territory is huge, but how to control these colonies is the most troublesome at present, many colonies are too far away from the empire. , I am afraid that these colonies will be in chaos in a few years.

What the emperor means is that in the future these colonies will become independent from the empire just like the independence of the United States? Qian Dafu understood Xiao Ming's thoughts best.

Yes, after all, a living example from America is right around the corner.

Xiao Ming has a deep vision. Contemporary experience tells him that the colonization of the old empires is all independent, and with the progress of human civilization, the upsurge of national independence will inevitably rise around the world, which is an inevitable development trend in history.

He has accepted this psychologically, but emotionally he does not want to accept it.

Qian Dafu sighed slightly, and said, The emperor's words are very true. At present, the term colonial aristocracy has been circulated in the empire. The imperial people who immigrated to the colony became the first beneficiaries of the colony, and their children and grandchildren will all be Benefiting from the colonies, in the long run, these immigrant imperial people will undoubtedly only regard the interests of the colonies as their highest interests. Once there is a conflict between the colonies and the empire, they will inevitably choose to stand on the side of the colonies. After all, they have no interest in the empire. What's the matter.

Xiao Ming laughed a few times, You know a lot.

Your Majesty is wrong, this old slave is just talking nonsense. Qian Dafu pretended to be confused again.

You're right. From the very beginning of the decision to immigrate, I knew that I would face this problem sooner or later, so these days I have been thinking about how to avoid letting these colonies become independent from the United Kingdom in the future like the United States, and the two will become enemies.

So, the emperor already has a solution? Qian Dafu asked.

There is no way. Xiao Ming was a little disappointed, But I can leave a royal imprint on these colonies and lay the foundation for them to deal with common enemies together in the future.

After pondering for a while, he said, I am going to hand over these colonies to my sons.

Qian Dafu was surprised when he heard the words, The emperor is going to restart the enfeoffment system?

Xiao Ming shook his head, Yes, yes, no, and no, this colony always needs to send a governor to manage it. Instead, let my sons be the first governor, and whether they can be hereditary governors in the future. It's up to them to do their own thing.

Qian Dafu understood, Xiao Ming meant that since the birth of the colonial aristocracy was inevitable, it would be better for the princes to become the largest nobles in the colony.

In this way, even if the colony becomes independent in the future, the princes may become the people in charge of the country. No matter how bad it is, they will have a decisive influence on the country. .

Moreover, the princes lived in the colony, and the colony's memory of the empire would not disappear. After all, the cultural genes of recognizing their ancestors and returning to their ancestors had been rooted in their hearts.

They and their descendants will always miss the once huge empire, and will even work hard to restore the empire's territory.

The emperor is really painstaking, the old slave really hopes that the emperor will live forever, so that the empire will be able to prosper forever and ever. Qian Dafu said with red eyes.

Xiao Ming patted Qian Dafu on the shoulder, and he said, It all depends on God's will. Maybe the empire will be torn apart in the future, but as long as I am alive, we must work hard to plan for the long-term development of the empire.

Qian Dafu nodded, If so, the old slave thinks it is feasible to let the princes go to important colonies.
