Three hundred years later.

For many people, let alone 300 years, even a hundred years later, it is also unfounded.

But for Zhu Mingzhong, he had to think about what would happen three hundred years later.

What will the world look like in 300 years?

Standing in front of the map, Zhu Mingzhong looked at the several map points that had been listed.

Those few map points are the future feudal kingdom of the Ming Dynasty, the kingdom of Fang Qianli, where to place them, which involves a lot of questions.

The kingdom of the prince's fiefdom is thousands of miles above the surface. In fact, it is far more than thousands of miles, of course, maybe they can only control the area of dozens of miles near the royal city, and the rest of the area still needs them to crusade, conquer, and occupy.

Even Java had several Sudanese kingdoms, and they had not even submitted to the Dutch, and in the future, when King Gui came to Batavia and wanted to expand his territory, he would have to destroy the surrounding Sudan kingdoms in order to gain their land and population. The same is probably true in other places.

Because of the large area of the prince's fiefdom, Zhu Mingzhong prefers to seal them in the Nanyang Islands, so as to avoid the kingdom threatening the mainland, and there will be multiple feudal states on islands like Java and Sumatra, so that they can restrain each other in the future.

As for the counties of the five hundred miles, their distribution is much more flexible, and they can be settled whether they are islands or peninsulas. In the future, they will be scattered all over the South Seas like sesame seeds.

In the end, there is only one left, and that is General Zhenguo!

Compared with the few remaining princes and county kings, there are still nearly 100 Zhenguo generals and hundreds of auxiliary generals left in the Ming clan. The reason why they are included in the sequence of sub-enclosures is not just to save money and food. It's because Zhu Mingzhong needs these clan disciples to help him in the town.

"In that year, Chengzu broke Annam, and set up the political envoy of Jiaozhi to set up 15 prefectures, 36 prefectures, and more than 180 counties, although it was later merged and reformed, under the jurisdiction of 17 prefectures, 47 prefectures, and 157 counties, now the Zheng clan Da Viet and Nguyen Thi Quang Nam should govern the people between three million and four million, maybe more......"

Staring at Jiaozhi on the map, with his back to Zhang Huangyan, Zhu Mingzhong said in a deep voice.

"After two thousand miles of reclamation, the local area has already been fertile for thousands of miles, if this place is given to the prince and the county king, it will definitely be like Zheng Ruan and others, and it is very likely that the tail will not be lost in the end, so I will intend to use the land of a prefecture to seal the general of the town and the land of a state to seal the auxiliary country, not only Annam, but also Pingnan, Laos and Siam, of course, you can be appropriately enlarged in these three places according to local conditions."

"Your Majesty, so that the south can be pacified, and it only has one government and one state, if the imperial court intends to take back all places, it only needs to make a holy decree, and dozens of towns and auxiliary countries, even if they are conniving, will not dare to resist the will of the imperial court."

Zhang Huangyan agrees with His Majesty's sealing method. It's not so much a feud as a "town guard", and even if they succeed in appeasing the local barbarians into Xia, their strength is always very limited, at most it is equivalent to the Tusi in the southwest.

"A country has a maximum of 100,000 soldiers and civilians, and such a place will never give birth to chaos!"

Shaking his head and sighing, the corners of Zhu Mingzhong's lips raised slightly, is such a feudal country a country? It's just a slightly older mayor. If a town can threaten the Ming Dynasty and usurp power, then this Ming Dynasty may not be able to fall into their hands to seize power, and it will already perish.

In fact, not to mention such a small town, even those kingdoms, Zhu Mingzhong is not worried, just like China in the 21st century, there is no need to consider the threat posed by the small countries in Southeast Asia to itself, but those small countries do everything possible to maintain relations with the big countries.

As for their struggle for supremacy...... They were able to use three hundred years to naturalize all the natives of Nanyang into Han Chinese, and I am afraid that they have exhausted their energy with each other. When the internal worries are not eliminated, who will fight for hegemony, not to mention, there is still a son of heaven over there.

And the Son of Heaven also has a few dog-beating sticks near them - the fleet stationed in the South Seas can pick them up at any time. Who will fight for such a hegemon? If you have the time and energy to fight for the hegemon, it is better to think about how to turn the razor into a Han and how to make their feudal country your own country, without worrying about the chaos of the people.

"The only thing that can worry me is whether their strength can suppress the barbarians, after all, no matter which country, if it is destroyed for the barbarians, it will have an unimaginable impact on the future suppression of the barbarians and the pacification of the barbarians."

Hearing His Majesty's worries, Zhang Huangyan just smiled and said.

"Your Majesty, it has not been decided to restore the three guards of the vassal king, the three guards are less than 10,000 people, and more than 15,000 people, even if it is the king of the county, it will also be ordered to restore a guard, as for the general of the Zhenguo, although there is only one brigade of men and horses, but there are as many as a thousand, these more than 1,000 people and horses do not seem to be much, but in fact, it is enough to pacify the barbarians, besides, if the blood between the clans is connected if there is chaos in one place, the surrounding countries will not sit idly by"Respect the king". ”

Zhang Huangyan's words made Zhu Mingzhong nod approvingly, and then stared at the Nanyang Peninsula, where hundreds of counties and principalities of various sizes would be divided in the future.

"In the twenty-third year of Duke Qi Huan, Shanrong attacked Yan State, Yan asked Qi for help, and Duke Qi Huan rescued Yan. In the twenty-fifth year, Shan Rong attacked Xingguo, "Rong Di jackal, you can't get tired of it; Zhuxia is intimate and cannot be abandoned", Duke Qi Huan once again sent troops to attack Shanrong to save Xingguo. ”

Speaking of the allusion to the word "respect for the king", Zhu Mingzhong continued.

"Respect the Zhou room, suppress the Di, prohibit usurpation, and suppress mergers"...... To put it bluntly, it is to unanimously plunder the barbarian land with the outside world, and if this is the case......"

Looking at the map, especially in Pingding and Laos, Zhu Mingzhong thought for a moment and then said.

"It's too fragmented here, and it doesn't meet the needs of the barbarians to appease the country, you can place a few counties here, and the military and financial resources of the county are several times that of the town, if the barbarians of the town are strong, they can directly raise troops to help them raze, and ......"

"And having a county is close at hand, it will make Zhuzhen and the country closer to the Ming Dynasty, after all, compared to the imperial court, the county is close at hand, which will make people scruples."

Zhang Huangyan broke His Majesty's thoughts.

Zhu Mingzhong smiled slightly, and then said.

"Not only that, but there are counties and states, and only those towns and states will not be able to defend the city-state, and they will not know how to soothe."

The county is a catfish, and the catfish will activate the survival ability of the small fish while stirring up the living environment of the small fish. The existence of the county will stimulate some towns that originally had no ambitions to become active, and then devote themselves to the suppression of barbarians and the competition of states.

"That's true, they are either actively suppressing the barbarians and developing themselves, or they are annexed by the county one day, Your Majesty, if there is a county annexation, how should the court deal with it when the time comes?"

What is the biggest hidden danger in the division of Zhuxia? That is, in the process of suppressing the barbarians and appeasing the people, the princes continue to expand their own strength, and they will not only suppress the barbarians and appease the people, but also annex the weak.

"Respect the Ming room, discourage usurpation, and suppress mergers."

After saying these twelve words. Zhu Mingzhong said with a solemn expression.

"It's easy to say, but it's a little difficult to operate, but at least for a hundred years, you don't need to think about it, to be honest......"

Retracting his gaze from the map and turning to face Zhang Huangyan, Zhu Mingzhong smiled helplessly.

"Throw so many clans there, whether their financial resources can take care of themselves, is a problem, after all, those places are far from being a land of fish and rice, if they can't take care of themselves financially, maybe, when the time comes, there will be a group of bankrupt small states, waiting for the court to help, this is the most worrying, when the time comes, if the court rescues, it is equivalent to the court carrying a burden, if the court does not rescue, even the most basic finances can not stand on their own, then its destruction is a matter of time."

His Majesty's worries made Zhang Huangyan nodded quite approvingly, when he was in Jiangxi, he had been trapped in the lack of food, if it wasn't for His Majesty's assistance in Jiangbei, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to gain a foothold in Jiangxi at all, he was like this in Jiangxi, and those clans in Nanyang may not be like this.

"Your Majesty, I heard that a Fidelity Bank has been extremely active in Nanjing recently."

Looking at His Majesty with a worried face, Zhang Huangyan said with a smile.

"Active? What is the active method? ”

Zhu Mingzhong was a little curious, how could Zhang Huangyan mention the bank.

"I heard that Qi Ziying, the owner of Fidelity Bank, has been lobbying various feudal clans to accept their loans, ranging from millions to hundreds of thousands, and is willing to devote all financial resources to help countries build states."

Be willing to pour out all your financial resources!

As soon as Zhang Huangyan's words fell, Zhu Mingzhong seemed to suddenly realize.

"This Qi Ziying knows, what is a strange commodity to live in, for my Ming Dynasty, countries are burdens, but if the law is properly managed, countries will become chickens that lay golden eggs, and there must be no problem for him to recover the loan in the future, and he can take the opportunity to do business to various domains, and now other banks, there should be no such action!"

Even if there are a few that can't collect the loan, what's the matter? As long as you can recover the interest! How many of those small countries in later generations are not heavily indebted?

"Fidelity Bank ......"

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Mingzhong asked.

"If I'm not mistaken, it's a bank run by the Jin people, and they will calculate if they fall......"

In another time and space, those calculating Jin merchants made Mongolia owe them hundreds of millions of taels of silver, even if they don't eat or drink, I'm afraid they can't pay it back.

"It's a good thing that they're willing to lend money to countries, but it's ......"

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Mingzhong glanced outside, and then said slowly.

"If you want to take advantage of the fire, I'm afraid I will never let them get their wish!"
