Chapter 883 World Situation
Dahua is expanding wildly, and those countries in Europe are no exception.
In the original historical process, the population of Britain, France, the Netherlands and other countries immigrated to North America at this time was about 200,000, but almost one third of them died of illness.
The early immigrants, not romantic at all, were full of blood and tears.
Most of them are people who can't survive, and will risk their lives to come to this new land.
That's why, later on, these colonies became independent. Because most of these immigrant people have no good feelings for their original motherland.
In order to make up for the lack of labor, they chose to buy slaves. By the middle of the seventeenth century, almost 150,000 black slaves had been shipped.
These people are basically concentrated in the eastern coastal areas of North America, and already have the prototype of thirteen states in the United States.
On some islands in Latin America and South America, there are concentrated Spanish and Portuguese immigrants.
These immigrants are more numerous, and they immigrate much earlier. In the middle of the seventeenth century, there were almost 500,000 white immigrants and 300,000 black slaves.
This is the approximate data in the original history.
Now, because of learning Dahua's shipbuilding technology, a large number of Dahua's ocean-going ships have been purchased, and Dahua's navigational skills have been learned, which has made the immigration capabilities of European countries much stronger.
Therefore, the population they immigrated to the Americas greatly exceeded the original historical process. This is the butterfly effect brought by Wu Changqing.
At present, the immigrant population of Britain, France, Hoo and other countries in North America has exceeded 300,000, and the number of black slaves has exceeded 200,000.
The number of immigrants from Spain and Portugal in Central America and South America has also increased by 30%, and the total number has exceeded one million.
Moreover, the number is still increasing rapidly.
Compared with the original history, countries in Western Europe now have a sense of urgency, because the rise of Dahua makes them worry and fear.
Dahua is so powerful that they are all worried that Dahua will one day come to Europe.
Although they have not yet found a way to deal with the threat of Dahua, it is definitely right to speed up the pace of development and plunder.
In the original history of immigrants, personal will prevailed.
Now, the ruling classes in Western European countries have begun to actively encourage, and plan and support immigration.
They need to expand their territories and plunder resources to increase their country's power.
On the other hand, because of the huge threat of Dahua, the infighting of Western European countries is also much less than in the original historical process.
Although France wanted to start a war, it was a pity that it had no money.
If you want to make quick money, you can only go overseas to plunder, so France has also accelerated foreign immigration and plundering. The attack on the Netherlands, Prussia and other places has slowed down.
Especially between England and the Netherlands, they don't want Dahua to take advantage of the infighting.
No matter what the conflict between England and the Netherlands is, they are all white after all, and Dahua's complexion is yellow.
Compared with Dahua, the UK and the Netherlands are closer.
You must know that there are a large number of nobles in England, and they are all related to the Dutch nobles.
Without the war, the two countries could devote more resources to the development of the colony.
Compared with the original time and space, these countries in Europe have become much stronger to varying degrees.
Today, America has basically become the world of Europeans.
Not satisfied, they set their sights on the treasure land of India and accelerated their immigration to India.
There are also the Java Islands, Australia, where Europeans have also stepped up their pace.
And Dahua is currently immigrating to these places. Dahua and some immigrants from Europe have had several conflicts overseas.
In August, Wu Changqing convened an important meeting to discuss plans to invade India and emigrate overseas.
"It is very important that we have to speed up the occupation of India. Now these places are easy to attack, basically the natives will surrender after a few shots.
But if those natives were conquered by the Europeans first, it would be much harder to be organized by the Europeans. In this part of India, we should occupy first and then consider assimilation. "
Tao Dongcheng, the head of the military's general strategy department, said that he no longer leads the troops in person, and has been studying the strategic situation, giving the opportunity to lead troops to the younger generation.
This is the result of his research for a long time, and of course there is some truth to it.
However, there is also a lot of exaggeration.
At this time, most of India was under the rule of the Mughal Empire, and the Mughal national power was at its peak at this time.
The Portuguese, Dutch and British colonies were all on the fringes of India, places that the Mughals did not look down on.
The Mughal Empire did not realize the harm of those Western Europeans at this time, and the Western Europeans currently in India have no ability to enslave India at all.
Tao Dongcheng said that the Western Europeans will soon occupy India and use advanced organizational means to arm India against Dahua, which is obviously a bit of nonsense.
Currently in Western Europe, there is no such capability.
"India has a large population and rich resources, and it should indeed be recovered as soon as possible."
Hong Chengchou said that several other civil servants also agreed.
Hong Chengchou agreed that Wu Changqing wanted to speed up the pace of expansion.
Of course, after conquering India and selling things to India in the future, there is no need to pay taxes to the Mughal Empire.
China's economy has a positive effect.
Therefore, Hong Chengchou has no reason to object.
The other civil servants wanted to gain greater benefits for the business group behind them by occupying India.
Those merchants, gentry and nobles in Fusang and Annan all tasted the sweetness, and they coveted India even more.
India is bigger, with more population and more abundant resources.
As for the places in Eastern Siberia and Mongolia, those merchants do not look down on them at all. They have no development potential, no population, no market, and no resources and wealth to easily plunder.
They all hope that Dahua can target India, not the barren places in the northwest.
Another important reason is that India has a large population.
A large population means that more managers are needed and more official positions are needed.
These officials all hope to conquer India as soon as possible, so that there will be many more high-level officials.
With a population of nearly 50 million in India, in order to rule completely, at least a good governor needs to be arranged. There will also be many other official positions.
The more official positions, the easier it is for them to be promoted.
It is precisely because of these reasons that the rare civil servants and military generals reached a tacit understanding to support the march into India together.
Any civil and military discord, that is all clouds.
In this world, only interests are the most real.
