Chapter 417 Ethnic Theory
Pei Guangping stared at the galloping horse wide and asked, "Running horse, are you suddenly crazy?"
Pei Guangping knew about himself, a brother who was a beloved brother. Because of the collision of civilizations and temperament, the galloping horse's thinking is quite reckless, and the problem is not controlled by rules and regulations like he grew up in a traditional environment.
But Pei Guangping never expected that the galloping horse would have such a strange idea. Apart from being crazy, Pei Guangping could not find any other explanation.
The galloping horse was surprised: "What's wrong? War is the best way to communicate comprehensively among all races. Hate is only one aspect, and entanglements and bonds can also become forever."
"Damn it, you'd better close the pit under your nose. Do you know who you are talking to? It's true that I am your brother, but it's also the governor sent by the central government of the empire. I represent the empire. You actually have such an idea. You are really crazy..." Pei Guangping immediately scolded the galloping horse.
In his opinion, fighting between the Indians and the empire was definitely a stupid way. Because after the empire had a North American fief, whether for political purposes or to suppress European ethnic groups, they were trying to maintain friendly relations with the Indians for local stability and trade development, or to agree to domestic peace, equality and other advanced and civilized ideological trends, both civil servants and military generals, and in the fiefdom, they worked hard to maintain friendly relations with the Indians.
As it turns out, this is something both sides are happy to see.
But this does not mean that there is only friendship between the empire and the Indians, and there is nothing else. Because this policy is only in North America's fiefdoms, and the empire territory of North America is not only in fiefdoms.
As early as the pre-Imperial era, the empire began to colonize and expand North America, and at that time it was carried out in the form of companies. After the American company arrived in North America, it quickly had contact with the Indians on the west coast of North America, and the two sides were mostly conflicted.
The Empire Trail Blazers obtained the Indian land, population, etc. The Indians on the west coast of North America had very few populations and very low levels of civilization, and were no match for the Empire Trail Blazers at all. It was from that time that the North American Indians were forced to integrate into the Empire's civilization.
Of course, the current American company's jurisdiction no longer exists. Around twenty years after the empire, North America was reorganized and became a North American province. At that time, there were more than 400,000 people in North America. After more than 20 years of development, especially after King Yu's administration of America, Spain's American colonies were fully opened to the empire, and North American provinces became a new window for the empire, and immigrants from all over the empire came one after another.
During the twenty-two years of the empire, the population of North American provinces exceeded 500,000.
For the overseas provinces of the empire, 500,000 is a threshold. This is the basic population of an overseas province. Generally speaking, only by meeting this standard can a province be built. From this basis, for every increase of a certain population, there is an additional representative in the House.
Today, in the forty-five years of the empire, the population of North American provinces has reached 1.5 million. With Beiyuan and Jinzhou as the core areas, they have reached the qualification to establish a province, and North American provinces have become two provinces.
Nowadays, the Indians on the West Coast have been fully integrated into the imperial system, where the Indians have almost become a minority, with a large number of Indians living in urban areas with the imperial population, and the same is true in the countryside. Everything that happened back then was fading from the imperial official.
But for the galloping horse, this example is not very referenceable. Although the two sides have integrated ethnic groups, it is compulsory and not voluntary. The Indians did not receive the political treatment they deserve in the West Coast provinces, and at least two provinces have never had an Indian representative in the Imperial House.
Obviously, if the galloping horse wants to provoke a war, it will be uncovered. This kind of thing is like a bubble of shit on the ground, and there is no smell at all. If it is picked up, it will be stinking and it will be difficult to deal with.
However, what the galloping horse said is not completely unreasonable. Although ethnic relations within the empire are not completely harmonious, they are still very good overall. The reasons for this are very complicated, including the relatively mature and equal ethnic policy of the empire, and the ethnic composition of the empire. After all, the nation occupies the vast majority of the population.
Of course, among the minorities of the empire, there are always a few thorns who are asking for trouble or asking for trouble for each other.
For example, the several ethnic groups who believe in the Tianfang Sect are still somewhat out of place. For example, the Koreans, the most populous ethnic minority, always dissatisfied with the political status obtained by the Mongolians, but the Mongolians think that is very reasonable. After all, in the development of the empire continent, the nomadic peoples dominated by the Mongolians made great contributions.
King Yu's Western Expedition was a modern expedition to the eldest son. The difference was that those guys who were good at riding horses had one more musket in their hands.
Pei Guangping became more and more angry the more he spoke. He completely decided that the guy Benma was looking for trouble. He had already thought in his heart whether he wanted to take the initiative and control this guy so that he could be sober.
The more you listened, the more confused he became. He suddenly interrupted Pei Guangping and said, "Wait a minute, calm down."
"Is this something that can calm down? Pranma, you now have the nationality of the empire. To put it bluntly, your idea is rebellion. And you went to Shenjing once, and the empire was very good at seeing you. If you did that kind of thing, would you be worthy of the emotions that the people of the whole country devoted to you and the kindness of the royal family to you?" Pei Guangping said to Pranma.
The galloping horse suddenly roared, like a thunderbolt, which scared Pei Guangping to take two steps back. He stretched his hand into the drawer, and there was a pistol hidden under the folder there. A nobleman, a young man, Pei Guangping, faced with a half-tall iron tower figure like the galloping horse, would he not be able to deal with it without a gun. Pei Guangping also felt that his revolver could handle this big guy?
"Shut up, listen to me, you misunderstood. The war I mentioned is not a war between the Indians and the empire, but a war between the Indians and the Europeans." Rainma shouted. In addition to raising his voice, Rainma really didn't know what else could make Pei Guangping stop and listen to him finish his words.
Pei Guangping was surprised: "Ah... So that's what you meant. I thought you were suddenly crazy."
"You are crazy, Governor. Where can I find someone like me? While sending the young men in the clan to Atlantic City, I also declare war on the empire?" The horse was so angry and laughed. He also found that Pei Guangping seemed to be very sensitive to topics like war, so that when he heard a sentence he had not expressed clearly, he scolded it with preconceived ideas. Looking back on Pei Guangping's words just now, it was obvious that he wanted to kill the war in the cradle.
This is exactly Pei Guangping's purpose. After the establishment of the North American fief, there were two generations of governors. The previous governor was mainly implemented with military control, mainly to maintain rule and maintain stability. After Pei Guangping took over, his purpose was very clear, that is, to develop the economy.
This is not only what the people in the fiefdom seek, but also what his personal future is. By the age of Pei Guangping, he was already preparing to do a big battle and glorify his ancestors. After all, his father Pei Yuanqi is now an important official in the empire and is actually controlled by the imperial cabinet, and is called the hidden prime minister.
Pei Guangping smiled awkwardly and made tea for the horse again, saying, "My fault is all my fault. It's because I'm a little nervous during this period. You don't know that the fief is now reforming the economy and reorganizing trade. I'm afraid that something will happen in local governance. Not to mention war, even a little conflict in the marginal or inland areas will make me unable to sleep or eat, so I have to deal with it carefully."
A pot of new tea was placed on the table, and Pei Guangping continued, "Running Horse, you continue to say, the war between the Indians and the Europeans, what did you think about this?"
"This is a phenomenon I discovered in Shenjing. Of course, it may not be the whole fact, but it is something my eyes can see. I think that the relationship between the Indians and the empire can be imitated by the relationship between Manchuria, Mongolia and other nations and empires."
When he set out on the Eastern trip of the galloping horse, he was thinking about how to prove himself and how to marry the girl he liked. At that time, he was just a guy who was not good at speaking Mandarin, and he learned Mandarin mainly to pick up girls.
At that time, he didn't know much about the empire until he had come into contact with more and more imperial people. Because he had a strong national sentiment from the beginning, the galloping horse always paid attention to this matter.
In his opinion, the Indians had no problem with their beliefs and skin color. There was no insurmountable gap in the empire's ethnic family. Especially after understanding the history of the empire, the galloping horse discovered that the Mongolian and Manchu tribes had ruled the traditional Han area for a period of time in history, and had a great hatred with their nations. In contrast, the little conflict between the Indians and the empire can only be regarded as drizzle.
Now, the Mongolian and Manchu tribes have not only successfully integrated into the imperial ethnic family, but are also important members. Although the past hatred is still mentioned from time to time among the people, in the official propaganda of the empire, it is an intimate brotherly relationship, and the political status obtained by the two tribes has made all other ethnic minorities in the empire jealous.
There are many reasons for this, including the management and transformation system of war criminals in the Emperor's era, rather than massacres. This is the first step in national reconciliation, and the second step is national liberation.
The galloping horse discovered that the nationality had a negative attitude towards Mongolia and Manchuria, but the Mongolians and Manchurians had a positive attitude towards the nationality. The reason was very simple. When the Supreme Emperor swept the world, it was not to conquer the nomadic peoples, but to liberate these grassland herders, liberate them from the slave owners, and give cattle, sheep and pastures. After the reform of the foreign vassals, all herders were able to turn over, and the last remnants of slavery of the nomadic people were swept away.
The herders who turned over, the Natural Empire Government was grateful.
However, the official positive publicity of the two tribes and the complete national reconciliation and national integration at the official level were because of King Yu's expedition to the west.
It was a Genghis Khan-like western expedition. A large number of cavalry used herders as logistics to sweep the hinterland of the Eurasian continent, from sweeping across the Kazakh grasslands, the land in the Na River, to attacking Russia, and finally dividing up the Crimean Khanate. In this continental war, the imperial guards and some army technical troops formed by the imperial tribes were often only auxiliary functions.
The real advantage of military strength were the fishing and hunting peoples represented by Manchuria and the nomadic peoples represented by Mongolia. After expanding the land, the people of all ethnic groups in the empire were migrating westward, but the two ethnic groups were the most proactive. Hundreds of thousands of Mongols in the north of the desert moved to Kazakhstan within one year, making Mobei a desert a land without a man.
It can be said that the ethnic minorities outside the wall, which had been fighting with the Han people in the Central Plains for thousands of years, completed the "shareholding" of joining the empire with a war to expand territory. This is the original share and will be inseparable in the future. Just like two families of feudal families, the matter of Chen Zhima and rotten grain can be mentioned, but divorce is impossible, because children cannot be divided, and family property cannot be divided. Simply, family property belongs to children, and the old thing is buried in the soil with the death of the old man.
The integration between these two tribes and the empire nation is quite complex, but in the eyes of galloping horses, it is extremely simple. As long as the Indians make contributions to the empire, the empire will definitely accept the Indians. This is official and proactive acceptance.
And do you have any common enemies between the Indians and the empire? The remaining European ethnic groups on the North American continent, but not popular with the empire, are the only options.
Pei Guangping, who had been scolding the galloping horse because of a misunderstanding, burst into laughter when he heard the galloping horse's theory, thought to himself that this was really a sleepy person, so someone sent a pillow. Before the galloping horse came, he was talking about the European ethnicity with Chirac and his group of people.
His method is to control the growth of Europeans, and to promote these people to immigrate overseas. However, it is not enough for Europeans to provide pulling force overseas. After all, people are greedy for stability and no one is willing to go to unknown places. What's more, those overseas colonies are tropical, and the climate difference is very different from the temperate and subtropical areas where European descendants gather.
For these European ethnic groups, climate changes are more controllable than any disease, and can often take half of people, or even more lives.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you laughing?" The galloping horse asked in confusion when he saw Pei Guangping laughing.
Pei Guangping said: "Running Horse, your idea is very good, it coincides with me."
