Several gravel roads crisscross the city, forming the transportation network of Dalian's "industrial zone".

The asphalt was not brought from the other side, but was a by-product of coking, coal pitch, which facilitated the construction of the Dalian city and made the asphalt a century or two ahead of the world.

While sighing that the asphalt was still comfortable, the carriage came to the shipyard on the beach, and even from the carriage, you could see the warships being built on the beach.

"Lord Shizi, there is a shipyard over there, and a new ship has been built."

Staring at the new ship with the style of a bird boat, Zhu Guoqiang's pace accelerated a lot after getting off the car. Originally, when he was running a shipyard, he was still thinking about whether to dig a corner of the wall somewhere and get some craftsmen to come over, but unexpectedly, among the craftsmen rescued in Liaodong, there were many shipbuilders, which is no wonder, after all, the Tianjin Wei area itself is a lot of government-run shipyards, and there are also shipwrights on the "Peacock Flag" side.

Because the shipyard was first opened, the ship built was also the most popular sea ship of this era - the bird ship, under the guidance of the "Peacock Flag" shipwright, this double-decked bird ship was built very quickly. Although it is not as strong as the European sail battleship, for now, Zhu Guoqiang is already very satisfied that he built it himself. When the craftsmen have cooperated, and then get the drawings of the 18th-century sail cruiser from the modern society, then it can be regarded as having a real navy.

This era belongs to the sea! Huaxia in another world missed this "Age of Discovery" that divided the world, and if I missed it again, I would be really sorry for Huaxia. Don't say it, just think about this Xiaoice River period, Southeast Asia is actually like summer all year round, Zhu Guoqiang can't wait to occupy those places. As long as I think that hundreds of millions of people in China are struggling with hunger caused by drought and cold during the Xiaoice period, and Southeast Asia, which can be ripened three times a year, is close at hand, my heart is full of unwillingness.

What's even more unwillingness is that the things at the door of his house were snatched away by the Europeans who came from across the ocean, but he starved to death!

This is simply intolerable!

From now on, Southeast Asia is the Ming Dynasty!

No one can touch it!

And not just in Southeast Asia. There is also India, which is also suitable for immigration, and Indians under the caste system are simply natural slaves...... No, it's the best way to be governed.

As the natural rulers of the Han people, if they put such a good place and don't grab it, can they be worthy of God to put them next to Huaxia?

No, it's not robbery, it's the invasion of Western bandits to protect the Asian people from the enslavement of Western barbarians!

Thinking of this, in an instant, Zhu Guoqiang's heart was filled with a sense of mission, which was even the same as protecting Chinese civilization from slavery and slavery, which was also a responsibility!

Even just thinking about it a little, Zhu Guoqiang, who was shrouded by this unprecedented mission, only had one thought left in his heart - enter the customs, enter the customs......

No, it's south, south!

They're barbarians!

South!

After returning to the General's Mansion from the shipyard, Zhu Guoqiang immediately called Sun Hejing, and when he went south to help Nanjing, he had been training sailors on the banks of the Yellow River.

After coming to Lushun, the training ground of the sailors changed from the Yellow River to Dalian Bay, and to the Yellow Sea.

"The last general will see the prince of the world!"

As soon as Sun Hejing entered the house to greet him, he listened to what the prince said.

"Jiufu, come, look at this map, do you know here?"

Pointing to Taiwan on the map, Zhu Guoqiang asked.

"Here?"

"Taiwan!"

Zhu Guoqiang pointed to the mouth of the Tamsui River without looking back and said.

"This is a freshwater river, with abundant water, fertile wasteland on both sides, and a basin up the river, although the basin is full of swamps and lakes, but if it is cultivated, this place alone can produce at least a few million stone of rice a year, and here it can be at least twice a year! ...... south"

Fingers continued to draw on the map, and Zhu continued.

"It's also a plain, and it's a great place to farm, and further south it's a much wider plain, where you can harvest two or even three ...... of rice."

Staring at Taiwan on the map, Zhu Guoqiang's gaze seemed a little fanatical, unlike the arid mainland, Taiwan's water sources are abundant, suitable for the cultivation of rice, sugarcane and fruits, especially the Jianan Plain is extremely fertile, where the cultivation of rice and sugarcane will definitely make Taiwan the first overseas granary of the Ming Dynasty.

"This is a natural overseas granary!"

Looking back at Sun Hejing, Zhu Guoqiang said in a rather exaggerated tone.

"With this granary as the rear, not only will the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Dalian not worry about food, but they will be transported to all parts of Daming, at least millions of people can be saved, so!"

After a pause, Zhu Guoqiang said.

"I want you to get down here!"

Turn Taiwan into a granary and serve the overall goal of the Ming Dynasty, which is why Zhu Guoqiang wants to take it there!

Of course, there is another reason - Taiwan, which is located in the subtropics, is very suitable for breeding improved seeds, and can take advantage of the unique local climatic conditions to speed up the process of cultivating improved seeds. In fact, Hainan is also suitable for this kind of generational breeding, but now that we want to fight Taiwan, let's focus on Taiwan first.

"Hit here!"

In an instant, Sun Hejing was attracted to Taiwan on the map.

"You see, here is the chicken coop, here is the city of San Salvador built by the Spaniards, on the chicken coop island, this side of the freshwater estuary is the city of Santo Domingo, and further south, here is the Dutch city of Geranza, compared to the Dutch in Geranza for many years, I want to lay the chicken coop first, how about it, do you want to try!"

Staring at Sun Hejing, Zhu Guoqiang asked with a smile, in fact, compared to him, those people in the Peacock Banner are undoubtedly more suitable for this expedition, but Zhu Guoqiang didn't want them to play too many roles in the future navy, so after thinking about it, he still chose Sun Hejing.

"This, it seems that Li Junmen's side ......"

As soon as the words came to his mouth, Sun Hejing, who understood the thoughts of the prince, hurriedly changed his words.

"No problem! As long as the prince gives an order, the last general will fight hard, and he will also take the chicken coop and this Santo Domingo city! ”

"Desperate ......"

Zhu Guoqiang said with a smile.

"There's no need to be desperate, the Spaniards there are not as strong as you think, and for us, the real threat is not the Spaniards!"
