Zhu Cihong generally likes to be opportunistic, so he will not be very aggressive and tough on those Western powers, but will see the right time to go under the knife according to the changes in the situation in Europe.

For example, when scolding Spain, it is necessary to form an alliance with France and Britain, even if Britain and France later make peace with Spain alone, it is better for the Ming Dynasty than not to form this alliance.

And to deal with the Netherlands, a maritime power, it is even more necessary to wait for the opportunity - Zhu Cihong has been cheated by the profiteers of the Dutch East India Company several times before, if he really has the character of not rubbing sand in his eyes, he should have turned his face a long time ago. But he can endure it, and he won't have a seizure when he opens his eyes and closes his eyes.

Because he was waiting for the opportunity, for the Dutch and the French to fight! It is Louis XIV the Great who is now in power in France, and since the return of Prince Condé, France has begun to reform the army, and now it has long been strong. If there is a Franco-Dutch war in this plane, the Dutch will not be ...... Why didn't Zhu Cihong wait?

Besides, the Dutch profiteers are pitting people, but they are still quite useful - they don't care about their beliefs, they don't care if you are God or God, as long as the money arrives, they can say anything.

In contrast, the believing Spain and France, the Protestant England, and the Ottomans who believed in Allah did not get along well with them.

Therefore, Zhu Cihong did not want to completely wipe out the Dutch East India Company, if their Dutch hometown was really captured by Louis XIV, Emperor Zhu was very willing to let the East India Company continue to exist on the island of Java, the Spice Islands and the Indian Ocean.

Because he needs a more flexible and weak middleman...... Of course, the Strait of Malacca, a key point, must still be firmly controlled.

In addition to the Strait of Malacca, there are still many "ownerless" territories that can be encircled and colonized.

For example, the Philippine Islands are now "ownerless", Spain has slipped away, and although the Ming Dynasty occupied Manila City, it did not invest too much force, nor did it mean to establish feudal towns and provinces on Luzon.

Another example is the last time the Ming Navy took the lead, and the British, French, Dutch, and Portuguese navies participated in the North Pacific exploration operation, many "terrault" places were also discovered, of which only one bay named Arctic Bay (Petropavlovsk, Kamchatka) was occupied by the Ming army, and the rest were "ownerless".

And then there is not knowing how vast the southern continent (Australia) is also ownerless, although the Ming Navy has not explored the southern continent, but through the information obtained from the Dutch, it has been known that there is such a piece of land empty there and no one wants it.

In addition, there are many "unowned" lands in Siberia. The rule of the Ming Dynasty ended in the Heilongjiang River Basin, and a Heilongjiang Jiedu envoy was established, and no one took care of it further north. And the Rakshasa country is a few lonely strongholds in Siberia, and it can't be said that they are all Rakshasas.

As for the Western Ocean of Tianzhu, there are even more "ownerless" territories!

Except for the territory firmly controlled by the Mughal Empire and the territory that has been firmly controlled by the Western colonizers, as well as the territory that has fallen into the hands of the Great Shunliukou Empire, the others are "ownerless......

Old Mountain, Renshou Palace.

A world map sent by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was placed in front of Emperor Chongzhen, Empress Zhou, Concubine Yuan, Concubine Wei, Concubine Wu, Concubine Hu and others at this time.

There are a lot of "unowned" places on the map, and at first glance it seems that there are more "ownerless" places than there are!

"Emperor, what do you mean by having no owner?"

The one who asked was Concubine Hu, a mixed-race beauty in her thirties, although she had given birth to several children, she was extremely well maintained, and the coquettish body given by God made Emperor Chongzhen so obsessed.

Hearing Concubine Ai's question, Emperor Chongzhen immediately replied with a smile: "Concubine Ai, the meaning of no owner is to be able to snatch it up and give it to my prince as a feudal country...... The country of Gaqing, where Ci Luo is going, is here. ”

As he spoke, Chongzhen pointed to the newly marked Jiaqing Kingdom on the map and said to his fox concubine: "It's a little farther away, but the place is really good, and there is also a chance to develop to the south, and it can be upgraded to a vassal state in the future." ”

Concubine Hu said: "That has to cost a lot of money, right?" The emperor is too great, and the slave family doesn't have much savings......"

"It's okay, I have savings, and I still have 500,000 taels ......"

"The Emperor!" Queen Zhou was not happy, "Your sons are all hundreds, how can 500,000 taels be enough to spend?" ”

"Isn't there still Tzu Hong!" Chongzhen said, "Who doesn't know that he is the richest in the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Empress Zhou Shang said: "Cihong himself also has a son!" ”

Chongzhen waved his hand, "He only has a dozen sons......"

"Then you can't be a dime!" Queen Zhou said angrily, "I have to take at least 300,000 taels out...... The concubine also has some savings, she can take 300,000 taels out, and let's build a country together. ”

Zhou Hou is richer than Chongzhen! Zhu Cihong and Zhu Cijiong have to honor him, and Zheng Chagu also helps her manage her money - Chagu is a "female stock god", what to buy and what to rise!

"Do you really take that much?" Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, "You have two sons, one is the emperor and the other is the acting king!" ”

"A vicarious king is not a king!" Zhou Hou said, "And the acting king has many sons...... There is only one one who can attack the lord! ”

She pointed to Luzon Island on the map, "This island has to be kept for Cijiong and his sons!" What is this island called? ”

"Luzon ......"

"The concubine is going to be!"

Chongzhen nodded and said, "Okay, then let's build a Luzon Kingdom, but this island is quite big, and I have to leave a few thousand miles of marquis!" ”

Zhou Hou smiled, "Your Majesty will pay 300,000, and the concubine will let Cijiong leave you three thousand miles of marquis!" ”

"300,000 ......" Chongzhen just wanted to agree, but he was already stared at by more than a dozen anxious eyes - his concubines were in a hurry!

"Don't worry, don't ......be in a hurry," Chongzhen gritted his teeth, "Many of the birthday gifts and congratulatory gifts I have received over the years are quite valuable, and if I sell them back, there will always be millions!" When the time comes, let's build a few more countries! ”

Emperor Chongzhen is going to smash the pot and sell iron!

At the same time, in the palace of Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, ten princes of the Ming Dynasty also gathered together to study the map!

"It looks pretty empty here, what kind of place is this?"

"This is the Arctic Ocean! It was ...... cold."

"Then I won't go, my son is weak and can't be frozen."

"It's a big chunk! And next to the United States of New Continent......"

"This is called the Great Plains of North New Continent, I heard that the Westerners have occupied a few points there, and there are also some Yin nomadic tribes there, which is very powerful!"

"How powerful? How is it better than a tartar? ”

"It shouldn't be that vicious, right?"

"Then don't be afraid...... My son came out of the army martial arts hall and fought Tartars in the Mongolian steppe! ”

"Aren't you afraid of what? Do you know how far away the Great Plains of North New Island is? Your Majesty has smashed hundreds of millions of dollars in order to take the territory of the United States of New Continent! Do you have hundreds of millions? ”

"Hundreds of millions? There is no ......"

"Okay, okay, let's not be overjoyed, first join forces to build a small country thousands of miles square, and then divide the family into a thousand miles of marquis!"

"Yes, yes, is King Lu right...... It's good for a family to get a Qianli Hou first! ”

"Yes, let's say it's the king, but for generations there will be no people, no land, all empty! Not to mention the land of thousands of miles, the city of ten miles has not been occupied! ”

"How much does a country of ten thousand miles cost?"

"It's going to be a million taels...... How about a family out of 100,000? ”

"All the same, huh? So who should be the king? ”

"You can draw lots...... If you don't guess the boxing, it's fine! ”

"Let's talk about the king's affairs slowly, what matters now is where to get these 100,000 taels?"

As soon as these ten princes talked about 100,000 taels of silver, they all frowned. It's not for nothing...... If you don't, you won't have to worry! The ten of them are the kind of masters who can get rich as soon as they grit their teeth and mortgage the land and the palace.

But the question is, what if this colony loses money? The palace has lost it, where do they live? But if you want them to quit, no one is reconciled!

After all, that kid from King Jiaqing has already gotten millions......
