Destroy this system!
The Ming Dynasty was never about expansion!
In order to enable everyone to live a happy and prosperous life, and to enjoy the changes brought to life by the progress of the times.
But under the caudillo system, this is impossible.
Caudillo is a special social system in South America that integrates military oligarchs, large landowners and state power. This system is represented by military oligarchs, who unite large landowners, large plantation owners, senior Catholic monks and large businessmen to form a national ruling group, jointly plundering and occupying social wealth, and jointly implementing political slavery and economic exploitation on the lower classes. In some countries, they even control more than 90% of the country's land.
The so-called people are nothing more than tenants who depend on them. The same is true in Mexico. What is the so-called reform? It is to overthrow one group and support another group, just like the oligarchs in Mao's regime. The purpose of overthrowing the oligarchs is to turn themselves and their people into oligarchs.
It has been half a century since the independence of South American countries. A group of caudillo chiefs have been overthrown, and countless new caudillo chiefs have stood up.
Under this system, millions of people can only live like slaves. This is South America.
“This isn’t South America!”
From the day he entered Peru, Gustavo was in extreme shock. He thought he was in an occupied and enslaved country, but what was the reality?
What he saw kept subverting his understanding, so much so that he had a thought in his mind: This is not South America.
Miguel said, putting down the coffee cup in his hand and looking at his friend who came from Colombia.
"We once thought that the Ming Empire, as a conqueror, would take away everything. In fact, that's exactly what they did. Do you know what the first decree they issued after they occupied Peru and Bolivia was?"
"What is it?"
"The first decree they issued was that all land and rivers in Peru belong to the state. The state has the right to grant private land rights it enjoys, but the state has the right to expropriate private land at any time for public purposes or restrict private land rights. The state can also take necessary measures to divide the land of large landowners and distribute it to small landowners. The rights of foreign capital in Peru's land, underground resources and mineral deposits are strictly limited, and the church is not allowed to acquire, own or manage land."
Lighting a cigarette, Miguel, a university professor, looked at his friends who had come from afar and said.
"Do you know what this means?"
“Is this… what you call land reform?”
“Yes, it’s land reform!”
Miguel said bluntly.
"From the Spanish colonial era until the Ming Empire occupied it, almost all the land belonged to a few people - nobles and officers in the Spanish era, and military leaders after independence. What about the people? There was almost no land! In order to solve the problem of land being monopolized by a few privileged classes, the empire issued this decree, and then confiscated their land according to the decree and granted the land to ordinary people. Overnight, the tenants who once relied on the leaders owned their own land."
When talking about "own", Miguel's tone became a little excited.
"This has never happened before. What did we see in the past? After a caudillo came to power through a coup, he defeated his opponents and distributed their land to his subordinates. New caudillos were born, but what about the tenants? They are still just tenants. In the Spanish era, they cultivated for Spanish nobles and officers. After independence, they cultivated for caudillo leaders. When one caudillo failed, another caudillo replaced them. What did those people think? They just wanted to squeeze as much wealth as possible before they were defeated by others. My friend, but now it's different!"
When saying "It's different now", Miguel waved his hands excitedly in the living room to emphasize his tone.
"Now, the empire has redistributed all the land. The land of the big landlords has been divided and given to ordinary tenants. The era of Caudillo is over. My friend, everything is over!"
Yes, it's all over.
Why did South America continue to experience civil unrest after its independence?
It all comes down to the caudillo system. Every coup is a reshuffle of wealth. In a coup, a group of caudillo leaders were overthrown and a new group of caudillo leaders stood up.
In order to facilitate the reshuffle of wealth, there will always be a group of people who try to become the new caudillo leader by participating in a coup. After the coup is successful, they will suppress the opposition and exploit the people.
This is South America!
But now, the empire has changed all that.
"From now on, there will be no more caudillos, no more ambitious officers, and Peru will enter a completely new era,"
Gustavo asked, facing his friend's somewhat agitated expression.
"And Peru?"
"Peru?"
"I meant the Republic of Peru!"
"The Republic of Peru?"
Miguel asked back,
"Whose republic is it? Is it the republic of the caudillo chiefs? You know, I thought so in the past. I think the republic is our choice. We should promote the progress of the republic and let everyone live equally. Even when the empire just occupied Peru, I called for resistance against these invaders, but then everything they did was beyond my imagination. They successfully completed a difficult task. I never thought that one day I would think that the empire is not bad. After all, the rule of the Spanish is not a good acceleration. Of course, I am not saying that I am very satisfied with the rule of the empire. They have no parliament, no constitution, and no congressmen. However, I think they will have all of this soon, although it may be a little later. However, after all, this is the future, and by then, I think we will live happily, happily and prosperously like them..."
When Gustavo heard these words, he realized that his friend had changed. Not only his friend had changed, but even he himself could not help but talk to himself.
"Like them, I live a happy, joyful and prosperous life."
Although his words were repeated by the other party, Miguel nodded in agreement. Then he smiled, stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the street outside the balcony.
"In fact, the Empire is profoundly changing this land, and I believe that this change is in the interests of the vast majority of people..."
