Chapter 823 Global Vision
Imperial study room.
After hanging a map of the Great Yu Kingdom on the east wall, Xiao Ming hung another world map on the west wall.
Both maps are brand new, and they were invited to paint the best painters in Qingzhou City.
Compared to his own graffiti works, these two paintings are of extremely high level, which can be said to be almost no different from contemporary precision maps.
On the map, there are all minerals, mountains, rivers and rivers. On the world map, Xiao Ming also marked the world colonial information he currently has.
Overall, Southeast Asia is currently occupied by Western powers, among which the Netherlands occupied Luzon, which is the contemporary Philippines. However, due to the depletion of national strength, the Dutch only owned a small part of Luzon, and most of the areas are still occupied by Spain. Overall, Spain is the ruler of Luzon.
The southwest of Luzon, which is Indonesia, is the largest colony of the Dutch in Southeast Asia. The Dutch occupied Jakarta two centuries ago.
Malaysia, to the west of Indonesia, was once a Dutch colony, but after losing the maritime war, it was ceded to Britain.
In addition, Britain also has two colonies, India and Myanmar, while France has the so-called Indochina, which is the contemporary Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. Currently, the Great Chongqing countries are called Annan, Vientiane and Zhenla respectively.
Looking at the map, Xiao Ming looked at Australia again. According to the information provided by the Dutch, this place also belongs to Britain. Similar to history, it is also a place for exiled prisoners.
His eyes moved from the southeast corner of the Great Yu Kingdom to the north, and Xiao Ming looked at the three cities that were still in the hands of the barbarians.
For him, after losing Jinzhou, the barbarians were greatly damaged and could no longer have the ability to engage in large-scale wars with him.
The reason is very simple. The barbarians lost their food and grass supply, and sending cavalry to attack the occupied cities is an idiot.
The smartest way for the barbarians at present is to return to the grassland and live a life of robbery after restoration, but he obviously would not give the barbarians this opportunity.
He will not give the barbarians a chance to breathe when he is killed by the snake. Now he has issued a ban and no merchant is allowed to sell any goods to the barbarians.
He would rather lose some money than make the barbarians unable to live on the grassland. At the same time, Qi Guangyi will also be stationed in Raozhou and lead the cavalry to continuously compress the barbarians' survival area.
Sweeping over Raozhou City, Xiao Ming looked at Yingzhou, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
Compared to Raozhou, Xiao Ming attaches more importance to Yingzhou this time, because this place has always been a pain in the country in later generations. Perhaps many people do not understand where Yingzhou is, but they will definitely understand what the estuary of Tumen River exits.
It can be said that in the northeast of Kanto, this location is the only sea outlet. You can reach the Sea of Japan in later generations from Yingzhou, fifteen miles from Tumen River.
As long as a military port is established in this place, he can use his navy to attack the Japanese mainland at any time.
In modern times, the Sino-Russian Treaty of Aihui signed by the Qing Dynasty in 1858 and the Beijing Treaty signed in 1860 ceded the territory adjacent to the Northeast of Kanto and the Sea of Japan to Tsarist Russia, and it was not taken back until the founding of the country.
After World War II, in order to stop his country from using its estuaries, Russia even colluded with North Korea to build a so-called Russian-North Korea friendship bridge on the Tumen River.
This bridge lies across the Tumen River, with the piers being very low. It can be said that no large cargo ship can pass through, which completely cut off his country's way out of the Tumen River.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ming picked up his pen and drew a circle in Yingzhou.
After the Northern Expedition Army occupied it, he would carefully manage the city. Now the east of Yingzhou is the land of Goryeo. After the war is over, he will forcibly occupy the land between Yingzhou and the sea, and establish the second navy of the Dayu Kingdom here.
As his eyes continued to rise, Xiao Ming saw Jianzhou. Jianzhou in the Great Yu Kingdom was equivalent to contemporary Harbin. To the north of Jianzhou was the Heilongjiang area of later generations, and further north was the Siberian Snowfield.
Information provided by the Dutch said that the Dutch of Moscow, now Europe, established the monarchical Tsarist Russian Empire forty-seven years ago. After the first Tsarist Russian emperor Alexander the Great, the current ruler Tsarist Russia was the queen of the generation Yekalina.
It is said that the Tsarist Russian Empress is about the same age as the British Empress. She took over the country at the age of eighteen and twenty respectively, and now she has ruled the country for four or five years.
Although these two monarchs are girls, Xiao Ming has no intention of contempt, because modern history has proved that European empresses are very strong, and often the empress is the most powerful time when the country is in power.
Needless to say, Elizabeth and Victoria of Britain were the period when Tsarist Russia reigned, it was the period when Siberia and Alaska were captured.
Although the difference between Emperor Yekarina and Emperor Yekarina in this era is only one word, their abilities seem to be no less than that of the contemporary Emperor Yekarina.
Now she has extended Tsarist Russia's tentacles to Siberia and Alaska, but thankfully, Tsarist Russia is still focusing on Europe.
This conquest of Siberia and Alaska was just a spontaneous act of the people. Just as Britain used armed merchant ships to expand its sphere of influence at sea, Tsarist Russia pursued the use of civilian power to expand on land.
"You can't give polar bears a chance to grow." Xiao Ming murmured with his arms in his arms.
Whether in this era or in the present, this country is extremely dangerous and capricious. Once it is allowed to grow, it will be a nightmare for the Great Chongqing Kingdom, so it is impossible for him to let Tsarist Russia take in the land around him.
However, despite thinking so, Xiao Ming understood that he was not able to extend his sphere of influence to Siberia, and Kanto was still in a mess. He could not provide food and grass for the army from Qingzhou to Siberia. This route was too long.
Before entering Siberia, he must at least stabilize Kanto.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ming looked at Central Asia, then at Europe, Africa and America. On this huge world map, the area he controls is just a small piece, and Europe has expanded its sphere of influence to the whole world.
"It must be stepped up."
Xiao Ming turned around and how could he be absent in this most glorious era of navigation? Now the steam warship is under construction, and the shipyard is also undergoing industrial transformation.
