Wang Yue stepped on the fine grains of sand, and in front of him was a deep bay, and the coastline on both sides extended to the north, like a hen spreading her wings, caring for the chickens in the harbor.

There is no doubt that this is an excellent port, and as long as the Suez Canal is opened behind it, it will become a jewel on the southern shore of the Mediterranean.

The river is no longer flowing with water, but with real money.

Wang Yue's eyes seemed to have a spectacular scene of thousands of sails racing...... He counted on his fingers, according to the news from China, most of his grandsons have already been born, of course, they may also be granddaughters, but Wang Yue doesn't care. Not only did he have a wife and children, but he also had grandchildren.

A wandering seed that takes root and sprouts, grows into a big tree, blossoms and bears fruit...... He is not a wanderer, but really, rooted in the soil, in his bones......

The closer he is to this era, the more proud Wang Yue becomes.

There is no doubt that the Ming Dynasty has embarked on a completely different path, and even the whole world has begun to change......

Zhu Zaiji, an apprentice and son-in-law, wrote him a long letter that was parallel to the canal, and the railway connecting the north and south of Beijing was about to open to traffic.

With this railway, it only takes three days to rush from Beijing to Nanjing, and in half a month, 15,000 troops can be deployed.

These are all things that I didn't dare to think about in the past.

However, as a student of Wang Yue, he obviously will not be easily satisfied, Zhu Zaiji even planned to build a double line, and he also put forward an idea, that is, to move the capital to Yingtian again.

That's right!

It's to move the capital!

At that time, Zhu Di moved the capital from Yingtian to Beijing, and the calculations were of course varied, and they could not be explained clearly in a few words.

This time, Zhu Zaiji moved the capital, but he hoped to balance the north and the south.

For a long time, Wang Yue's business has been in the north, Tianjin Bosi, Jizhen Iron Factory, Xishan Academy...... These latest things, the best talents, are concentrated in the north.

As a result, the heavy industry in the north is highly developed, and the output of steel and coal accounts for more than ninety percent, which is the best in the Ming Dynasty...... Of course, the consequences of this are obvious.

Heavy industry gathers, the population pressure in the capital is huge, the pollution is serious, and in winter, the smoke is thick, and the sky in the capital is dark.

Zhu Zaiji felt that after the capital was moved, most of the yamen and officials could be moved to the south to relieve the pressure on the north.

Moreover, Zhu Zaiji also has unique views...... In fact, the most suitable for economic development in the entire Ming Dynasty is still the south.

Just from the perspective of climate, the south of the Yangtze River, almost all year round can work outdoors, but not in the north, that is to say, the same investment in the project, the south only needs half of the time in the north, can return to the cost, the efficiency difference is very large, very amazing.

From the construction of the railway alone, it can be seen that the area south of the Huai River is built in sections one third faster than in the north.

Economics tells us that time is money, and capital occupation is also cost!

Moving the capital to Nanjing and increasing investment in the south is undoubtedly a more efficient choice. And in terms of national strength, the threat to the north of the Ming Dynasty has long been gone.

What's really scary is the interior, it's the South!

After moving the capital, we will be able to strengthen our control over the south and better control the hearts of the people in the south of the Yangtze River......

Faced with this sprinkling and well-reasoned letter, Wang Yue just snorted.

This little rabbit cub will also play tricks.

What he said is right, and it is not impossible to move the capital to Yingtian...... But there is no doubt that if Zhu Houxi knows, he will be guaranteed to be thunderous again.

Because Beijing is the place where Zhu Houxi defeated his old ministers and took power alone. It is also where he invests the most and works the most.

In contrast, Zhu Houxi is more vigilant about Jiangnan, and of course there are people who are very familiar with Jiangnan, that is Zhu Zaiji!

When he was a teenager, he went south as a prince, not only got the guidance of Zhang Xuan and Wang Yangming, but also eradicated the family in Jiangnan and established a strong prestige, he even went to Hainan to teach, and even Lingnan praised the benevolence of the prince.

Moreover, after Yang Shen went to Tianzhu, a large number of Confucian scholars gathered under Zhu Zaiji...... In fact, it is a bit inappropriate to say this, the science of mind is constantly changing, but the science of science is not static.

In fact, the current science of science has absorbed a lot of mental things, and even began to advocate technological invention and commercial progress, but at the same time, science also believes that it is too much, and it must be restrained in the development of industry and commerce.

From a certain point of view, Zhu Zaiji even prefers the ideas of science...... Of course, the premise is to be consistent with what is on the outside.

Move the capital to Yingtian and get rid of Zhu Houxi's shadow, Zhu Zaiji is really going to do a big job!

"This kid is a bit bold!"

Wang Yue hugged his arms and smiled slightly.

For the current Ming Dynasty, as long as there are no major problems, there is no problem to become strong and rich. But this does not mean that you can sit back and relax, on the contrary, there are many lessons to be learned.

Any big empire has this problem, but after the external pressure disappears, the internal interest groups will rise rapidly, embezzling all interests, the Wei and Jin families, the Guanlongmen valve, it is all the same, they will snatch the last cabbage in the hands of the people......

After all, there is no threat from foreign enemies, so they do not need to compromise with the poor.

There are not many ways to slow down this trend, and the usual experience is to use troops abroad and use overseas interests to feed greedy capital at home.

Zhu Zaiji, this kid is a little smarter, he is-for-tat and adopts a two-handed strategy.

First, Zhu Zaiji has sent a large number of officials overseas...... There are those who have been impeached like Ouyang Bijin, and there are also many who have been encouraged to go to sea on their own. Not only officials, but also many scholars, all of whom the Ming thought were redundant, were all sent outside.

Getting rid of these people is like cleaning up the garbage for the system on a regular basis, and it also prevents them from colluding with each other and forming stubborn interest groups.

Ironically, these "garbage" are full of treasures in other people's eyes, such as ...... I answer!

That's right, it's Altan Khan, who dominates India.

After making peace with Persia, Altan commanded as many as 200,000 cavalry and returned to India, where he soon cleared the Mughal Empire of its own order.

This ruling order is also very simple, that is, the Indians in the south will rule the Indians in the north, and the Indians in the east will contain the Indians in the west.

Of course, no matter how much you toss, the upper echelons of these Indians are a group of civil officials from the East, and these civil officials serve Meda.

In this way, India has become a breeding farm, the director of the factory is Alta, the civil officials of the East have become employees, and as for the livestock below, they are divided according to cattle, horses, pigs and sheep, as long as they cannot be united, Alta can sit back and relax.

Of course, as an aspiring figure, I also knew that there would still be risks in relying on civilian control of India alone, and he needed an army that could fight.

To this end, I carefully selected from among my subordinates and organized a pro-army of up to 100,000 people.

Unfortunately, this group suffered heavy losses in the suppression of the uprising in Bengal, and the scorching heat and the raging plague directly took the lives of more than 20,000 people.

Altan had been hit so hard that he almost thought he was going to get out of India.

At the last moment, Yang Shen stepped forward again and gave me an idea.

The Mongol cavalry had already declined quite a bit, and with the unfamiliarity with the situation in India, it was unreliable to rely solely on them.

Establish military schools, select a small number of elites from among the Mongols, serve as officers, and then recruit Indian natives as warriors, such as Sikhs, such as Gurkhas......

This move had an immediate effect, and I quickly assembled an army of 50,000 men, easily quelled the rebellion, and secured the throne of the Indian emperor.

"Sir, if it goes on like this for a long time, there will be no war, I am worried that these soldiers will be abandoned again, I don't know what Mr. thinks?"

Yang Shen smiled, "I can't talk about it, Your Majesty, if you want to find something for them, it's not difficult." Now that Emperor Jiajing and Taishi Wang Yue are both in Egypt, His Majesty can provide soldiers and horses in exchange for trade support and stabilize the foundation of the Khan. ”

I took a breath, "Mr. Yang, I really didn't expect that you are still loyal to Daming!" ”

Yang Shen didn't deny it, and smiled slightly, "After all, I am still a Ming person, but Your Majesty may wish to think about it, Emperor Jiajing went overseas, and the African continent is several times larger than India, and they cover the sky with one hand, and I am afraid that they will not be able to control it." Immigrating from Daming is not an easy thing to do. If His Majesty can provide them with soldiers, personnel, and even financial and material resources...... What would happen if they were given control of these places? ”

"This ......," I replied, lost in thought.

Yang Shen continued: "Your Majesty uses the Great Ming Scholars to manage Tianzhu, so will Emperor Jiajing use Indian officials to manage Africa?" ”

Having said this, I suddenly felt a shock, and my mouth suddenly opened!

That's right, use Tianzhu's manpower and material resources to help Daming, although he hates Wang Yue very much, and he can't wait to cut him with a thousand knives. But now that he is the lord of Tianzhu, he should think about it from the position of the emperor.

Da Ming sent the garbage he didn't want to Tianzhu, why couldn't he send the people with a little brains in Tianzhu out?

There are at least three benefits here, one of which is, of course, to eliminate hidden dangers and give him better control of India.

Second, they can send out men and horses to train outside and maintain combat effectiveness in case of emergency.

Third, he helped Daming, and the two sides were entangled, so there was no need to worry that Daming would backtrack, and he would support others and overthrow him, the Tianzhu Emperor.

After all, as long as I gave enough to fill Wang Yue's appetite, he would have no reason to abandon me.

Measure the material resources of Tianzhu and form the joy of the Ming Dynasty!

"Mr. Yang, you're asking me to be a dog for Daming!"

Yang Shen said: "It's a housekeeper, where the Ming army goes, Your Majesty's strength can go deeper, the Ming army eats meat, and Your Majesty can also drink a little soup." ”

"Humph! Speaking of which, isn't it still a lackey hawk dog! I replied and slapped the table and roared: "I agree, Mr. Yang, I will leave this matter to you to deal with, I don't think Mr. Yang will let me suffer!" ”

Yang Shen ...... Nothing was expected.

The trend of the times, what choice do I have?

As for these things he promised me, what I said was not what Da Ming said, can you count them!

……

Returning to the Red Sea, boatloads of Tianzhu soldiers and boatloads of slaves were sent to collective wooden houses on the shores of the Red Sea.

Ouyang Bijin is responsible for registration, and then issues an official document, and with this official document, you can go to the corresponding construction site to carry out construction.

With the respect of the Ming Dynasty's Hubu Shangshu, he is responsible for the construction of a canal, which can no longer be regarded as a cattle knife for killing chickens, and it is clearly a dragon slaying knife.

Ouyang Bijin not only assigned the project, but also sent out a lot of people to open up wasteland and farm, and provide sweet potatoes and potatoes.

In addition, Ouyang Bijin also selected a few outstanding ones from these Indians and appointed them as stewards.

This is a terrible thing, and the Indians who have been valued are grateful, kneeling and kowtowing.

They worked harder to manage the locals, and they were a hundred times more ferocious than the officials of the Ming Dynasty, and they wanted to let the locals sleep for twelve hours a day.

In addition, they will also write letters to their families, saying that they are unusual, and even think about bringing their family members, the same clan, the same village, all follow him to heaven.

In the face of these Indians, Ouyang Bijin had nothing to say.

"Taishi, I think that even if I hit Europe in the future, these Tianzhu people will not be able to do without it. They are going to follow the Ming Dynasty to fight the world. ”

Wang Yue bowed, "As long as you don't get to the Ming Dynasty, you can go anywhere!" ”

The two of them looked at each other and laughed, and after laughing, Ouyang Bijin said: "Taishi, I have estimated, this canal will take more than five years at the earliest, and the lower officials are afraid that they will delay the use of troops?" ”

Wang Yue didn't care, "You can cultivate it as much as you want, and I will find a way to do the rest." By the way, I just surveyed the port in the Mediterranean, you are the chief engineer this time, I plan to use your name, name this port, how about it? ”

"Don't!"

Ouyang Bijin was so frightened that he hurriedly waved his hand, "Taishi is very kind, there is no need, the lower officials think that it may be better to call Taishi Port." ”

Wang Yue spread his hands, "I didn't do anything...... Or call it Tianzi Port? Zhujiagang? ”

Ouyang Bijin shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Master, whatever name you like, just call it, anyway, I don't care." ”

Ouyang must have slipped in.

He doesn't want to leave his name here, this kind of big project will be remembered for hundreds of years, or it will be stinky for thousands of years, who can say for sure! So, it's better to be an unsung hero.

Wang Yue shook his head, Ouyang Bijin doesn't want to, don't worry about it himself, let's give it to Zhu Houxi, he likes this!

It's just that when Wang Yue saw Zhu Houxi, he found that His Majesty the emperor had two more state letters in his hand.

"This is Suleiman's, and he said that he would lead an army of 200,000 to patrol the frontier and assist the allies."

Wang Yue couldn't help but chuckle, "It's surveillance, right?" ”

Zhu Houxi nodded, "And this, is it from Charles V, he directly warned us that we must retreat immediately, otherwise we will have to bear the wrath of the whole Europe!" What a majesty! ”

Zhu Houxi couldn't help but sneer, "The two of them, counting me, are competing among the three emperors in the world." Wang Yue, who do you say is the true dragon emperor? ”
