"On the other side of the Wa Kingdom, which is also on the other side of the sea, there is also a continent, which is far larger than the Ming Dynasty, at least three or four times as big." Emperor Chongzhen said in a very affirmative tone, "That land is full of ancient natives, living a life of slash-and-burn farming, and it is only a small tribe, scattered everywhere. It can be said that it is an uncultivated piece of land......"

Hearing this, Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but open their mouths slightly in surprise, there was such a thing?

If Zheng Zhilong was here, it wouldn't be so unusual, he should have heard of it a long time ago. Of course, it is certainly not as detailed as Emperor Chongzhen's understanding.

“…… But now Xiyi has taken the lead, killing the natives over there and taking it for himself. When Emperor Chongzhen said this, he said with a serious face, "Just like what they did in Nanyang, plundering the local gold, silver and money, and transporting them back to their country." The West of Luzon came from there. Then, they passed through the Wa Kingdom and returned to the continent! ”

This route in Spain, Emperor Chongzhen didn't know about it, it was Zheng Zhilong who told him.

Seeing the shocked looks of Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng, Emperor Chongzhen emphasized: "There are still very few Xiyi who have arrived on that continent now. Relative to that vast continent, it is almost negligible. As long as I, Daming, can fight with Xiyi, even if there are hundreds of years in the future, there will be enough places to settle the people of Daming and feed the people of Daming! ”

Speaking of this, he stared at Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng, and emphasized very seriously: "For the sake of the future generations of the Ming Dynasty, I have made up my mind, even if it is not far away, I will also seek benefits for future generations!" ”

Whether it's based on the original history or for any other reason, in the final analysis, that's what he did, and he wasn't lying.

Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng listened to it, and were in awe, moved by Emperor Chongzhen's foresight, and immediately responded solemnly: "Weichen obeys the will!" ”

For the Chinese people, it is a very serious thing to seek the welfare of future generations, just as the descendants respect the heavens and respect the ancestors.

This matter, if it were to be said in another way, saying that Emperor Chongzhen was so happy that he wanted to open up his territory and be a real emperor of the world, the result would definitely be different. Because this is for the emperor's hegemony and the Zhu family's world. This kind of thing, compared with the benefit of children and grandchildren, will inevitably attract the opposition of many people.

But now, Emperor Chongzhen has made it very clear that Daming is now in the Xiaoice River period, and food has been very tight. If the problem of population explosion caused by national security and civil security is not solved, there will inevitably erupt, and when the time comes, the human tragedy that has already shown signs in the past few years will inevitably befall the world again.

For this kind of thing, no one wants to see it. Because of the calamity, no one is spared. As summarized by the emperor, the previous Xiaoice River periods, I don't know how many people died!

At this moment, whether it is Hong Chengchou or Lu Xiangsheng, they all feel that there is still a lot to do. Compared with the goal set by the emperor, the extermination of Jianyu now is really just the beginning, and there is nothing to be excited about.

At the same time, they were also deeply proud that they had allowed themselves to meet such a far-sighted emperor. In this life, I will definitely live differently from my predecessors, and it will be very exciting!

Emperor Chongzhen finally showed a smile when he watched the two of them solemnly express their stance and support his idea. The expedition to the other side of the ocean, with this kind of statement, can be regarded as a kind of explanation to the Chinese people.

In his plan, North and South America must be occupied, and the South Seas, the so-called couch side, of course, must also be in his own hands, and by the way, the former Oceania will also be taken.

As for the European side, the race is different, the culture is different, relative to other places, there is a mature civilization circle, for the time being, his plan, not to be included in the territory, but as a dumping ground for the foreign trade of the Ming Dynasty, no matter what, there must be a trade object is not!

And this part of the Middle East, the underground oil, of course he knows the abundance. However, if you want to occupy it and incorporate it into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, unless the technology tree climbs smoothly, otherwise, it will take a lot of time to expedition to that place. I don't know if I can finish it in this life!

In the last Africa, Emperor Chongzhen doesn't plan to worry about it, wait for the descendants to decide for themselves, anyway, in a few hundred years, that place will still be the same.

For now, that's what Emperor Chongzhen intended.

At this time, they were chatting about this matter, and Huang Degong came over to see them and interrupted them to say this: "Your Majesty, there is no movement in Shenyang City, do you want to send troops into the city to search for the remaining Jianjiao and extinguish the remaining fires?" ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he took a look at the eavesdropping system and was surprised to find that Yue Tuo was not dead. From this, he also thought of saying that he wanted to kill the Ming army soldiers on their backs, so he shook his head and said to Huang Degong: "Don't worry, let the city burn again, it's best to burn all the dirt in the city." ”

"The last will obey!" When Huang Degong heard this, he ordered him to retreat.

However, at this time, Emperor Chongzhen glanced at the camp outside the city, and felt that it was a waste to let so many people idle here, so he sent an edict: "Drum and gather generals!" ”

The chamberlain on the side listened and hurriedly went to give the order.

Emperor Chongzhen stood up and instructed the waiter: "Take the snacks out and give the two Aiqing their stomachs!" ”

As soon as they heard this, Lu Xiangsheng and Hong Chengchou remembered that they didn't seem to have eaten all morning.

When I think about it, I suddenly feel hungry. So, the two hurriedly thanked him.

In order not to be embarrassed by the two of them, Emperor Chongzhen also ate a piece with them, and said to them at the same time: "There are not many prisoners in the city, and it is enough for the infantry to watch." I decided to send out a cavalry army to sweep away the remaining captives in various places and rebuild Liaodong as soon as possible. ”

"Your Majesty is wise!" Hong Chengchou listened and hurriedly responded.

Lu Xiangsheng immediately reminded: "Your Majesty, there are still more than 4,000 people in the headquarters of the slave chief Haoge, this is a formed army, and it needs to be paid attention to!" ”

Hauge was also considered fateful, and was sent by Dolgon to transport grain, otherwise, like Dolgon, he would be besieged in Shenyang City.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he smiled and said, "It's okay, I believe that Li Dingguo's kid should be able to handle it." ”

In fact, the reason why he said this was because he learned more or less about the situation over there through the Class A eavesdropping seeds on Hauge and Li Dingguo.

Lu Xiangsheng has always believed in the emperor's judgment. At this time, when I heard it, I didn't mention the matter on Hauge's side. As for the Jianyu in other places, there were no considerable troops at all, and he believed that the cavalry would be able to wipe it out as soon as it arrived, so he was relieved.

As a result, in the subsequent imperial military meeting, nearly 30,000 cavalry troops were divided into five troops by Emperor Chongzhen according to about 5,000 people, and began to attack other more important towns in Liaodong from all sides. For example, Phoenix, Tieling, Jianzhouwei and other places.

Hong Chengchou also received the will, returned to Ningjin, deployed local troops, and began to occupy the cities of Liaodong and restore the rule of the Ming Dynasty. He still has a lot to do. In terms of public security, including searching for and suppressing the Jianjiao and other enemies scattered in the mountains and forests, bringing back the Ming people who had fled into the mountains and forests, and so on, in terms of agriculture, it is necessary to measure the land, register the grain fields, open up the wasteland for farming, and so on.

It can be said that these things really must be arranged by a feudal official. After having a foundation, it is another major event to connect with the Guannai and settle the people who have migrated from the Guannai to Liaodong.

From another point of view, the Ming Dynasty still has to fight with the Japanese State, and the main battlefield is basically set in Korea. In this way, Liaodong is the rear of the Ming army. How quickly the productive forces can be restored is related to the course of the war against the Japanese war, and it can even be said that it is also related to the process of conquering the Japanese state!

Let Hong Chengchou be in charge of this logistics matter, Emperor Chongzhen is still more relieved. Anyway, he also has a Grade A eavesdropping seed on him, and he is not afraid that he will encounter problems or something.

On the other hand, Lu Xiangsheng began to prepare for the war against the Japanese, leading 10,000 infantry troops to build fortifications at Zhenjiang Fort on the Yalu River, and it would also be the starting point for the Ming Dynasty to set off to North Korea to exterminate the Japanese army.

In addition, Emperor Chongzhen also sent a decree to Chen Hongxu, the governor of Denglai, so that he could take up the post of governor of Liaodong, responsible for sending the people of Liaodong who fled in Denglai back to Liaodong, and at the same time, do a good job of logistical support for Denglai's side to Liaodong.

Of course, carrier pigeons are inevitably released, this is for Zheng Zhilong, the commander-in-chief of the Denglai Navy Division, who secretly took office, and ordered him to lead the army of the Navy Division to Lushun Military Port to prepare for the war against the Japanese.

By the time all this is done, it will already be afternoon.

It was only at this time that Emperor Chongzhen began to worry about the affairs of Shenyang City.

Looking up into the distance, the city of Shenyang has almost burned, at least the fire that rushed to the sky is no longer visible. Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that you can't see it as clearly as you can at night. Anyway, there are still embers.

In the gate hole, on the other side of the moat, there were many kneeling prisoners, and of course, lying more. Those who kneel mean that they are still alive, and those who lie down are basically dead.

Through the eavesdropping system, Emperor Chongzhen knew that Yue Tuo understood that he was definitely going to die, so he was entangled with a group of subordinates and tried to attack the Ming soldiers who entered the city. I don't know if I'm in it.

After Emperor Chongzhen scanned the entire situation in Shenyang City, he made an order to let the Jianyu line up and surrender one by one through the drawbridge. Between each person, more than one zhang apart, no blades are allowed to be carried, but it is found that it is not necessary to kill!

As for whether this way of accepting surrender will be too grinding, Emperor Chongzhen doesn't care, anyway, he is not in a hurry.

So, as soon as this decree was given, the surrender ceremony of Jianyu began at the four gates of Shenyang City.

Yue Tuo, who was hiding in the city and peeking, was dumbfounded when he saw it.
