After a busy day, everyone was exhausted from traveling to the rainforest and gem mining area. The dinner that night was not very delicious. Xiao Letian took Emperor Tongzhi and the King of Thailand to return to Zhiyuan very early.

Have some midnight snacks, and the three of them gathered on the back deck to watch the night in the Indian Ocean. The endless supply ships on the sea are still busy. The huge fleet consumes a lot every day, and filling all supplies for three days is indeed a difficult task.

"After seeing what happened today, do you think?" Xiao Letian opened the silver cigarette box and took out a cigarette and held it in his mouth. Zai Chun, who was beside him, quickly polished the matches and helped the master light it.

"Treasure Island! This is really a treasure island." Zai Chun said excitedly, "If I don't go abroad, I will never know how big and magical this world is!"

"We are indeed behind. Europeans have colonized the world. So many Feng Shui treasure lands have been occupied by foreign devils. No wonder they are so rich!"

"And those corrupt scholars who had no knowledge in the court still fantasize about the prosperous era. They don't know how big the world is, and they have never even seen such a gem island. They dare not even think about it!"

"One day, I will have such a treasure land. As long as I cheer up my Qing Dynasty and have a strong army and the industrial power mentioned by my master, I will lead my troops to conquer Galle and make this treasure island our colony!"

Zaichun completely became a fanatical reformist, and his military and national thoughts were very strong.

But King Shangtai’s perspective on the problem is completely different. "It’s not that simple. Listen to what the British said today. Even if we open a gem mining trading company here, will Europeans share our monopoly gem industry with us?"

"If I were European, I would set up several large jewelry companies to buy the top gem minerals in the world, and then control the amount of mining by myself."

"Even if there are a lot of gems, I'm not in a hurry to sell them. If there are too many goods, it will definitely cost the price. It's better to create some shortage atmosphere to kill customers."

"The monopoly has slowly formed. Of course, they will not allow us to come in and get a share of the pie. Even if we have to enter this industry, we will not allow us to intervene in the mining area. At most, we can be a second-hand dealer and wholesale from them!"

Xiao Letian shook his head, "You didn't say anything about it! Forget it, you may not be able to understand these with your age. Go back to sleep."

Two monks were driven away, Xiao Letian smoked alone on the deck. After three cigarettes passed, footsteps rang behind him, "Master, can you listen to my feelings?"

It's Xiang Ying, and Xiao Letian doesn't have to look back and know that it was him. "Who told you? Did the Guard Company?"

"No, it's the sniper Ye Qiu and the platoon leader who was cheated of twenty silver coins. I carefully asked about everything, I have something to say."

Xiao Letian said nothing and neither nodded nor shook his head. After a moment of silence, Xiang Ying mustered up the courage to speak, "I think Master, you are thinking about the issue of deep colonization of the Chinese nation. Everything you see today has indirectly proved your wisdom!"

"These greedy Europeans are completely destructive plunders to global colonies, without any constructiveness. They will not invest in infrastructure, nor will they run education. What they are interested in is resources and markets!"

"You have long seen that this colonial model has hidden dangers, right? That's why you get so angry in Borneo! The colonization process of our Chinese people must not simply copy the old path of Europe!"

Seeing that Xiao Letian did not interrupt him, Xiang Ying speeded up his speech. "Head of the People, you have been talking about deep colonization. This deep colonization should start from the hearts of the people, and should be the kind of colonization that wins the win-win situation."

"While we get the resources of the colonies, we must first promote education so that the indigenous people can be nourished by our culture from generation to generation, so that they can have centripetal force with us!"

"The second point is to encourage intermarriage. A large number of descendants of our Chinese people must be born in the colonies. You abolished the small feet but did not abolish the wives and concubine system. I think your plan is to let our Chinese men reproduce more, and the population is the most important!"

"The third is equal trade. I dare not say that it is absolutely fair, but it must be fairer than Europeans! Today you saw those poor miners. If we Chinese run these mining areas, the lives of miners would definitely not be so miserable! With contrast, the natives will have a sense of happiness and they will more agree with the concept of our Chinese!"

"Third, we need to develop a system of car-like tracks and writing, and promote Chinese, Chinese characters and weights and measures in our colonies. I even propose to promote Chinese Mandarin based on the accent of the head of state, so that we can even overcome the obstacles caused by dialects!"

"Master, are you considering these things? Are you feeling inspired by observing the rule of British colonists? I firmly believe that your deep colonial policy will surely succeed!"

Xiang Ying was already excited and trembled all over. It took a long time since there was no such opportunity to confide in his heart to the head of state. "I firmly believe that this brutal colonial rule in Europe will definitely be retribution. At most, one hundred years later, one war of independence will break out in these European colonies around the world!"

"Only our Chinese people, the Chinese people who have taken extraordinary paths, can avoid such counterattack waves and truly expand our Chinese people's living space!"

Xiao Letian shook his hand and half of the cigarette fell into the sea. He still didn't look back, but there was a turbulence in his heart. He never expected that Xiang Ying had such a high level of understanding.

In fact, the deep colonial strategy mentioned above is basically just a little bit like a little bit of a wise man. Xiao Letian has already vaguely revealed these strategies at many meetings, but it was just not explained in detail.

But Xiang Ying's final prophecy was amazing. He actually guessed the national independence and liberation movement a hundred years later.

It would take a hundred years to go. Now it is 1869, and a hundred years later it is 1969. World War II has long ended the global national independence and liberation movement, and a large number of European colonies have established their own countries.

It was only eighty years later. These colonies ruled by brutal suppression would be full of war, and the colonists could only spit out fat pieces.

Why did the Europeans colonize those lands for three or four hundred years or even longer, but in the end they still did not truly integrate the colonies into their own territory?

This is actually retribution, because from the beginning, European colonists did not regard the colony as their own country. They were always brutal plundering and exploitation of bones and marrow sucking.

You always have to pay back when you go out, and eighty years later, it will be the time for the global liquidation of colonialism. This is a tide of the times that no one can stop it.

I never expected that Xiang Ying would dare to make such a prediction!

"Are you a lunatic? Or a lunatic? Or a lunatic?"
