The Spring Festival is coming again, and for the people of Southeast Province, this year's Spring Festival is particularly lively.

It is not yet the thirtieth day of the lunar month, and the southeast province is full of New Year's flavor, people have changed new clothes (because there are still new clothes), clean houses, buy New Year's goods, and children have fun playing with firecrackers!

The people didn't know that in the past year, the Dragon Court had changed the emperor.

His Majesty the carpenter emperor of the Ming Dynasty fell into the water, died, and his dying life was succeeded by his younger brother King Xin, changed to Yuan Chongzhen, he took over his brother's stormy imperial power, a little careless, the Ming Dynasty this giant boat will capsize!

Changing the emperor, except for the high-level and intelligence agencies of the Southeast Province, has no impact on the Southeast Province at all, they are used to doing errands according to the Gregorian calendar, looking at the lunar calendar to arrange agricultural affairs, everything is in order, as long as you pay, there will be a harvest.

On the 28th of the lunar month, Yan Changwu invited Yang Tiansheng, who returned to Taiwan, to a banquet, and they sat on the top floor of the newly built Tainan Hotel, accompanied by Chen Xinji.

Tainan Hotel is a decent hotel in Tainan Town, invested by Yan Changwu, invited the pavilions and pavilions designed by master architects on the mainland, built by the mountains, facing the sea, and the scenery is top.

Not to mention the decoration, it is beautiful, Yan Changwu is rich, what is expensive and good, all the big ones are made up, the whole is magnificent, plus some of Yan Changwu's creativity, it is amazing!

Compared with other style hotels, guests are in a classical Chinese hotel with a strong royal atmosphere, there is a different kind of freshness and excitement experience, while experiencing the nobility and majesty brought by the royal style decoration, it feels as if they are in the royal Jinluan Treasure Palace, and as if they have come to the East Warm Pavilion of the palace in person, or as if they have arrived in the back garden of the royal compound.

In the hotel, you can feel the magnificence of Chinese classical architecture, the subtlety and luxury of Chinese decoration and design culture, the noble and elegant decoration, and the comfortable and atmospheric Chinese furniture.

Highlighting the tall, magnificent, luxurious and magnificent temperament and personality of the Chinese hotel, around this center, the design of the hotel is more than half successful.

Well, this is actually Yan Changwu copying the decoration and architecture of a Chinese-style hotel he has experienced, but it has made the people of Southeast Province and foreign maritime guests obey the ground!

Coupled with the provision of high-quality meals and comfortable accommodation, as well as the addition of the halo of the Yan family's property, since its opening, from morning tea, food market to night tea are in short supply, and it is difficult to find one.

The occupancy rate is as high as 90%, and even the top VIP room with 100 taels of silver per day has been contracted by maritime merchants for many years.

……

The crystal moon pavilion on the top floor, a Chinese-style building, uses a large number of red hair pan imported glass around and at the top, the light is extremely sufficient, you can see the stars and the moon on the roof at night, and the lighting is made of crystal and glass to help, dazzling and dazzling, and the style is super first-class.

The three of them sat leisurely and enjoyed the delicious dishes from the Yan Shi Mei recipes prepared by the top chefs.

"Son-in-law, you really amaze me!" Yang Tianchang let out a long breath and said.

"Hehe, drink water and think about the source, if it weren't for your father-in-law to help me, where would I be today!" Yan Changwu said humbly.

"With your way, I can't imagine how far you'll go in the future!" Yang Tiansheng sighed with emotion.

To what extent?

Yan Changwu asked himself, what does he want, what kind of person does he want to be?

He believed in the god of the sea (once, he thought he was a false believer, and now, he sincerely believed in Mazu), and in the area where the southeast province was located, the most powerful force was the fleet, and there was no horse team, and he participated in the continental expedition, and he lacked a horse team.

Without a strong horse corps, the mobility of the musketeers on the continent was greatly reduced.

Moreover, the muskets of that period did not have an advantage over the cavalry + bows and arrows of the old boar skin, and the artillery was also very cumbersome, which needed to be further improved!

Yes, let's ignore land warfare first, and I'll play sea conquest first.

After defeating the Fujian Naval Division, Yan Changwu can be regarded as a player, and he is still a little bit like that, at least his fleet can handle it.

Yan Changwu's ambition:

"My dream!

I have become a sea force with such strong financial, military, and manpower on the southeast coast, and even the government can't help me, and even the red hairy fan can't beat me and I want to surrender to me (I haven't fought it, but I'm full of confidence!). ）

I want to establish a firm political ideal, that is, I want to occupy the coast of Fujian, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Taiwan, Ryukyu (a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the Diaoyu Islands are a little past), southern Japan (Japan), Manila (Spain), Spice Island (Java, Indonesia, then a Dutch territory), Indochina (control of Malacca), and even Australia!

These regions were unified to form a huge maritime empire, which was enough to compete with the Ming Dynasty or the mainland regions that the Ming Dynasty could not support the Qing Dynasty.

The human race of this empire must be dominated by the Chinese, and only in the Chinese society can there be a concept of great unification, and only then can the centripetal force of the huge empire not be separated from the long distance of the sea.

The Japanese people, the Spanish, the Portuguese, the Dutch, the British, the black slaves, and the natives of the islands could be merged into a powerful "maritime people".

The shell of this nation is the pursuit of trade and expeditions, and the core is the tradition of the Chinese nation.

The time is in me! The location is mine! People and in me!

The industrial revolution in the West will have to wait for another two or three centuries, and the gap between China and the West in terms of technology is not large, and the production capacity and economic volume of the huge maritime empire far exceeded that of any major Western colonial country at that time!

We are close to the South Seas, and the red hair has to run two or three oceans to reach the South Seas!

Now I have a foundation, show strength, everyone believe me!

In fact, the people of the Chinese nation really have this opportunity, if Zheng Yiguan and the national surname at the end of the Ming Dynasty do this, even if the mainland falls into the old wild boar skin, but overseas can establish a new world.

With the speed of corruption of the descendants of the old wild boar skin into the Central Plains, it is impossible for them to form a fleet to attack the Zheng clan, which has already occupied Southeast Asia.

Now, the heavy responsibility of history is in my hands, I have money, I have a fleet, I have a steady stream of people, the next step is to develop education and instill Chinese culture!

The point is that I have ideals and beliefs!

The mainland is a closed China on land, and I will build an expansive China on the sea, and the two Chinese kingdoms are relying on each other, so let China on land produce silk and porcelain and tea, and I will export iron and fire, well, the iron ore of Australia, the timber of Southeast Asia, will give me the most powerful fleet in the world!

Thirty years from now, I will lead the fleet on the Tyers River in England!

Mazu bless me! You are the god of China, and I will bring your divine light to the world!

There is no time to lose, and I will create the world's first empire on which the sun never sets!

This empire will last forever, forever!

I will succeed! ”

Thinking about it so far, it is the middle of winter, and the food is mutton and other good goods, Yan Changwu only feels hot and dry!
