"The earlier we plan the Western Regions, the sooner we can improve the overall strategy." Following Zhao Zongwu's words, Hong Chengchou said: "For our army, because of the many strategies deployed externally, this makes our army need a lot of gold and silver.

Although the Western Regions are located in a barren area, if you want to truly develop it, it will also require a lot of energy, financial resources, and manpower, but after all, the geographical location is special, and if our army wants to open up to the outside world, it must operate the place in advance. ”

Since coming to the Ming Dynasty, Zhao Zongwu has used the governing philosophy to ensure the stability of the local area in the way of deterrence by the army, and take this opportunity to sort out the intricate internal relationships, gather forces loyal to him, and lead the local area to become truly powerful.

Because of such a governing philosophy, Zhao Zongwu has been perfecting various plans, but as time went by, he found that he had laid more and more plans.

This also makes the authority of the six departments under the command of the Nine Border Marshal's Mansion more and more strengthened.

In order to ensure a sound system under his command, Zhao Zongwu added a confidential department on the basis of the original five departments to ensure the smooth implementation of the corresponding strategic deployment.

Although Zhao Zongwu knows in his heart that there is some overlapping functions in the new departments and institutions that have been added today, in a short period of time, he needs to use this overlapping authority to carry out an effective supervision mechanism.

Zhao Zongwu nodded and said: "Yan's speech is good, it is better to operate earlier than later, for our army, the future must go out of the Western Regions, according to the situation found by Jinyiwei, outside the Western Regions, there is still a vast and rich land."

Although it is said that the geographical span is too large, which is not conducive to local rule, it is still very necessary to prepare for the establishment of corresponding colonies and the formation of corresponding strategic buffer zones. ”

According to Zhao Zongwu's thoughts, before an epoch-making product such as a train was truly developed, the core ruling circle of Huaxia was not prepared to expand too much territory.

Before the science and technology tree is really built, what he has to do is to develop as many places, populations, economies, and armaments as possible, so as to ensure that China has a sufficient population base and maintains a super strong external aggressiveness, so as to lay a solid foundation for the second and third rounds of foreign expansion.

Why did England, such a small country, dare to try in vain to call the empire on which the sun never sets?

It's not because they really came out and relied on colonial overseas aggression to achieve the feat of strengthening themselves!

In Zhao Zongwu's heart, from the beginning, he never thought about the simple development of the land economy, he wanted to let the Huaxia clan truly enter the age of great navigation, for this era, nothing is faster than the ocean, more than the ocean.

As a virgin land in the true sense, Zhao Zongwu could not tolerate it, and let the uncultivated world not be conquered, playing the so-called closed country.

Because of this seclusion and seclusion, the Huaxia clan has suffered a lot, and he wants to use his own ability and huge benefits that can be seen and touched to tempt the Huaxia clan to really go out of the ocean.

External planning and layout has always been an important matter in Zhao Zongwu's hands, but because he has too many matters in his hands, the corresponding authority has been transferred to the General Staff Department.

As the right and left hands of the General Staff Department, Chen Qiyu and Hong Chengchou can be said to have a lot of power.

Regarding the feat of going out, Zhao Zongwu has been implementing it for more than ten years, and with the progress of the conquest of the Liukou, he has continuously increased the intensity of such feats.

"And during this time, my father has been thinking in his heart." After telling this, Zhao Zongwu thought of one more point: "With the expansion of the external situation, our army's deployment of the Indochina Peninsula and the Indian Peninsula can also be adjusted accordingly.

Over the years of pacifying the bandits, our army has captured a large number of bandit leaders, bandits, and subordinates, and originally treated such groups of people with capital punishment and eradicated them!

However, because Li Zicheng and them developed well in the Indochina Peninsula, and by attacking cities and plundering land, our army made a lot of gains, so they were also put into the Indian Peninsula in batches.

However, judging from the news coming in the past two years, the Indochina Peninsula has been steadily incorporated into the sphere of influence of the Navy Headquarters, but on the Indian Peninsula, except for this seaside city, which is still subservient to our army, the rest of them are somewhat disobedient to discipline. ”

"Grandpa Guo, your analysis is very correct." Hong Chengchou smiled slightly: "With Li Zicheng, Li Guo and other troops, they were dispersed to the Indian Peninsula by the navy, which also made the forces they had operated for many years completely disappear overnight.

In the same way, in the past two years, our army has taken huge profits as an inducement to continuously absorb tenants and displaced people in the southeast region, and has emigrated more than 700,000 people to the Indochina Peninsula.

With such a two-pronged approach, our army can quickly occupy a dominant position in the Indochina Peninsula, and those forces that dare to resist have long been wiped out by Li Zicheng and their leaders, and the remaining groups are all docile sheep. ”

For the Indochina Peninsula, which had been subjugated for many years, Zhao Zongwu and they used such a model to conquer, which also enabled them to recover a large number of territories overseas, and through the governance of eunuch officials, the entire Indochina Peninsula and Nanyang showed a thriving situation.

These officials who were branded as eunuchs were reprimanded by everyone in the Ming Dynasty, but in Nanyang, Indochina Peninsula and other places in the barbaric era, they were all officials who could not be stronger.

It is also because of this feedback that when Zhao Zongwu was combing through Guanzhong, Shanxi and other places, except for the kind of people who must die, the rest were packed and sent to Nanyang and Indochina Peninsula, as for whether they can seize the opportunity, it depends on their own.

Chen Qiyu, who was on the side, then said: "It's just that after Li Zicheng and them were dispersed to the Indian Peninsula, the expected deployment was not achieved.

Originally, according to the argument of the General Staff Department, after Li Zicheng and his arrival in the Indian Peninsula, they could take advantage of the situation to replicate the pattern in the Indochina Peninsula.

Using the forces of rogue gangsters to open up territory and expand territory to the outside world is beneficial and harmless to our army.

It's just that no one expected that the unique caste system of the Indian Peninsula gradually made Li Zicheng and them like a fish in water.

This is also the reason why Li Zicheng dared to disrespect the military orders of the Navy Headquarters. ”

Because some time ago, Zhao Zongwu had been combing through the nine border towns, which also made his energy inevitably slack in the slightest, and because of this, he did not pay attention to the Indian Peninsula, which produced such a chain reaction......
