"But the world's strategic position in the Sunda Strait is also extremely important."

Zhu Shun's finger drew a line on the map, from the Far East to Europa: "The Ming in the East and Europa in the West, located on the same line, are both in the north of the world. ”

"Therefore, the trade between the East and the West must go from the Strait of Malacca in the north, and the Strait of Malacca has become the choke point of trade between the East and the West, and it is also the main road of gold."

Zhu Shun's finger was placed on the southern half, and he once again drew a line on the map of Kunyu Wanguo, from Nanyang to Africa: "The south of Europa is the African continent. ”

"If you want to sail from the South Sea to the African continent, which is also in the south, you have to go through the Sunda Strait."

"If you still take the Strait of Malacca in the north, you will be reluctant to go far, so this Sunda Strait is the throat and golden road to the African continent."

Zhu Shun suddenly clapped his hand on the Kunyu Wanguo map, and the location was the Southern Continent: "Look here, the prince of King Fu is in the south of the Sunda Strait, and there is a land whose territory is no less than that of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"There's a lot of gold and silver here, and there's a lot of fertile farmland, so it's a virgin land that hasn't been developed."

King Fu Shizi understood what virgin meant, and the earth also understood what it meant, and the two were added together, but he didn't understand, but in combination with the previous sentence, he also chewed out the meaning of this new word.

Prince Fu looked at the vast Southern Continent with heavy breathing, and his voice became thicker: "This land on the east side of the Sunda Strait is very close to the Southern Continent. ”

"It's roughly equivalent to the distance between Fujian and Ryukyu, and it can be reached in five or six days at most."

"Sir, do you want this prince to control the choke point of the Sunda Strait?"

"To the west you can control the trade between the African continent and the East, and to the south you can enter the vast virgin land of the southern continent."

"But now there are two problems, and the Landong India Company has set up its headquarters in Java in the Sunda Strait in order to control the golden artery of the Sunda Strait."

"According to Ben Shizi's understanding, there are more sea warships owned by this and the Landong India Company than many Europa countries."

"It is very difficult for the Ming Dynasty to defeat this and the Landong India Company, let alone this world, it is almost impossible."

It seems that the prince of Fuwang not only has a clear understanding of world geography, but also has a clear understanding of the strength of countries in the world.

Zhu Shun didn't want to talk to him too much now, and he didn't understand it if he talked too much, so he asked rhetorically: "How is my invention and creativity ability, little Wang Yejue." ”

Flintlock pistols, rifled guns, hydraulic drilling machines, and water-powered spinning wheels that are better used than large spinning wheels, which can be called the invention of the country's important weapons, have long left a deep impression on the prince of Fuwang.

King Fu said very seriously: "There is no ancient, and there is no one after." ”

It is true that there are no ancients before, and it is difficult to say if there is no one after them, but what Zhu Shun wants is this effect: "If I say that an ironclad battleship will be invented in the future, the prince of Fu will believe it or not." ”

If this sentence was said by someone else, the prince of Fuwang would definitely think that person was a bluff, but it would be different if Zhu Shun said it.

He said yes, then he could.

That piece by piece is impossible to realize, but it was invented by Zhu Shun, which added a kind of potential to him little by little.

This kind of momentum made the prince of Fu Wang have to believe it, and said solemnly: "This son, believe!" ”

Zhu Shun smiled and continued: "This kind of ironclad battleship is called a steam engine ship, all of which are made of steel, and it can also be faster than a downwind sea ship in the case of a headwind. ”

The sea vessels of the Ming Dynasty were extremely advanced, and it only took a month to sail from the Ming Dynasty to the Strait of Malacca in the South Seas with a tailwind in winter.

It is already a myth that steel can float on water, and it can surpass the speed of a tailwind in the face of a headwind.

If this is against Europa's sea warships, it is simply Guanning Iron Cavalry holding a flintlock pistol, attacking an unarmed civilian, and beating him as much as he wants.

Only ten steam-engine ships are needed, enough to cross the South Seas.

Fuwang Shizi grabbed Zhu Shun's palm and said sincerely: "Mr. is really my Zhuge Liang." ”

Zhuge Liang was a wise saint in the Ming Dynasty, and he has risen to the height of Zhuge Liang, and it seems that the impact of the steam engine ship on the prince of Fuwang is really not ordinary.

Zhu Shun smiled and continued to analyze: "If the little prince wants to defeat the Helandong India Company, control the golden artery of the Sunda Strait, and establish a second Ming Dynasty in the southern continent, only steam engine ships are enough. ”

"The little prince still needs 100,000 navies who are good at naval warfare, and he also needs a large number of admirals who are proficient in naval warfare."

The prince of Fuwang listened to the word navy and was also fresh, the first time he heard it, he had never seen it in the ancient books he had read, but it was really quite appropriate: "Mr. This sentence is reasonable, since Mr. has said so much, there must be a solution." ”

Zhu Shun asked rhetorically again: "What is the most important thing for the little prince to build a navy." ”

With the experience of the Ming Dynasty, the prince of Fuwang also smiled and replied: "Silver." ”

Zhu Shun took out the piece of rubber in his arms: "That's right, whether it's building a steam engine ship or building a navy, the most important thing you need is money." ”

"I know that Fuwangfu is very rich, but it is far from enough, even if I have money, it is still useless if I don't have a group of admirals and sergeants who are familiar with the climate of various parts of the South Seas, as well as the geography of ocean currents."

"The little prince can first set up a maritime trading company in this Java country, first, he can earn a lot of gold and silver, and secondly, he can train sea generals and sergeants through maritime trade."

Listening to Zhu Shun's words, the prince of Fu really thought that he was going to be the founding father, so he didn't hide it, and said with a wry smile: "It's easy to say, if there is no in-demand commodity, it is difficult to gather a huge amount of wealth in twenty years. ”

"For more than 20 years, this son is no longer confused, where is the energy to expand the territory."

Zhu Shun put the rubber on King Fu's hand and said with a faint smile: "With this kind of thing, it won't take twenty years, or even ten years, and it will be enough for the little prince to pull up a 100,000 navy." ”

Fuwang Shizi took the inconspicuous rubber very casually, and when he heard Zhu Shun's words, his palm trembled and almost fell to the ground.

This thing is now more important than the lifeblood of the prince of Fu Wang, so he hurriedly lay down and caught the rubber, for fear of breaking it.

King Fu carefully put the rubber on the table, and his mouth trembled: "When.... Seriously. ”

Zhu Shun suddenly felt that the current prince of Fuwang was a bit like a person, and when he saw Chongzhen of the hydraulic drilling machine, he smiled lightly: "Seriously." ”
