All the royal brothers and nephews have their own territories, Zhu Changrun is still messing with Zhu Changhao, and he also feels uncomfortable, under Zhu Youxiao's continuous encouragement, Zhu Changrun also decided to get a piece of his own territory. Especially Li Hongji obtained the marquis of the Crimean Peninsula and became the Marquis of Dashun, which made Zhu Changrun feel at ease, no longer worried that Zhu Youxiao would dig a hole for himself, others can independently establish their own territory, and they belong to the royal family, then it is even more okay, Zhu Youxiao and the monarchs of previous dynasties must be different, so he intends to realize his territorial dream.

When Zhu Youxiao issued the award to Li Hongji Dashunhou, he also gave this meaning to Zhu Changrun together with the letter, and the meaning of the letter was to let Zhu Changhao and Zhu Yousong think of helping Zhu Changrun to establish a territory in the innermost corner of the Persian Gulf, which is still a barren land, which requires a certain amount of manpower and material resources. At the same time, Zhu Youxiao also promised the two of them to let them migrate 200,000 people from the Ming Dynasty, and some good industrial machinery to make them more powerful.

At the same time as Zhu Youxiao sent a letter, he also sent 5,000 soldiers to Zhu Changrun, and led the general to call Mao Bijiang. Mao Bijiangsheng's eyebrows are clear and beautiful, but he is not weak at all, and his white skin has not been tanned in the long-term training of the military academy, but looks healthier. The height is about five feet three inches, which is 1.75 meters in terms of the metric system of later generations, which is a standard bodybuilder. Wearing a standard Ming army officer's uniform, a good figure and this military uniform, he is simply a standard beautiful man. However, no one could have imagined that Mao Bijiang, who is only nineteen years old this year, is one of the top ten outstanding students in the academy, and his grades are very average.

After receiving Zhu Youxiao's order, he was very happy to open up Xinjiang, and now the Ming Dynasty is very stable, and the peacetime is the greatest misfortune of the soldiers, and it is also the greatest pride of the soldiers. Mao Bijiang is unwilling to be proud, his dream is to gallop on the battlefield filled with gunpowder, expand the territory for the Ming Dynasty, and become a general with outstanding achievements, and now Zhu Youxiao gave him such an opportunity, but not in the Ming Dynasty, but to assist Zhu Changrun to seize a territory.

Mao Bijiang doesn't care about these, as long as it is beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, especially the order and appointment letter issued by Zhu Youxiao himself, which makes him even more proud. However, Zhu Youxiao said that this time it is the nature of help, but if it fails, there will be no chance to return to Daming to be a general, and if it succeeds, it is easy to say, whether it is to stay with Zhu Changrun or return to Daming soil, it is the rank of general. Therefore, he made up his mind to play at his own level.

Mao Bijiang also has two assistants, one is Chen Zhenhui, one of the "Four Princes" in history, he is five years older than Mao Bijiang, and he is already a county magistrate, but Zhu Youxiao came down with a holy decree, so he was also transferred over to assist Zhu Changrun in establishing a territory. The other is Wang Zheng, a classmate of Mao Bijiang, but he is a student majoring in special warfare, with a family tradition of martial arts, witty and brave, because he is very good with Mao Bijiang, this time he took the initiative to ask to come over, intending to make meritorious contributions.

Looking at the assistant that Zhu Youxiao sent to him, Zhu Changrun's mouth couldn't close with a smile, it seems that Zhu Youxiao really hopes that the royal family can become strong, this is not hypocrisy, look at the three young talents sent over, you know how attentive Zhu Youxiao is.

In addition to these three officials, look at the soldiers brought, these are all veterans who have just recovered from the Ming army, they are wearing military civilian clothes, that is, training uniforms, which are organized according to the voluntary principles adopted by Zhu Youxiao, belonging to the volunteers, not in the Ming army series, but these are veterans who have experienced the battlefield! It can be said that they have a very good sense of combat and experience, and they are the most elite soldiers relative to the recruits.

After these 5,000 volunteers were discharged, in response to Zhu Youxiao's call, coupled with the great motivation to open up territory for the Ming Dynasty, they signed up to participate in this operation. In terms of financial and material resources, Zhu Youxiao also paid a great price for this operation, because this may be the last time to help the royal children, but the cost of this war will not let the Ming treasury pay a penny, all the expenses are funded by the Ming Royal Tenglong Bank, which is also a private war, and the Ming Empire has nothing to do with it, even if it is a casualty and disability subsidy for soldiers, it will also be responsible for the territory that Zhu Changrun is about to establish, and the Ming Royal Tenglong Bank is jointly and severally liable. This was the beginning of the corporate-based labor union.

As for the Ming Royal Tenglong Bank to be able to allocate a huge amount of money for the war, it has a lot to do with Zhu Youxiao's lobbying, Zhu Youxiao said that in the place he asked Zhu Changrun to occupy, there is a huge amount of oil, and all the oil used in the Safavid Dynasty is produced there, and the current output is a drop in the bucket of its hidden amount, and now the sales of oil in Daming are very good, whether it is the lamp oil used for everyone's lighting, or the lighters, gasoline stoves, and diesel stoves are all from the vicinity of Xi'an. But production is far from meeting demand, so new production sites must be found.

Zhu Youxiao then told everyone that at the bottom of the Persian Gulf, according to ancient records, oil was used in the war as early as more than a thousand years ago, and now that place belongs to the key area of the war between the Safavid Dynasty and the Ottoman Empire, both sides want to occupy there, and the two river basins there are the essence of the entire Arab region, you can not only farm, but also get oil, and other places are mostly deserts, ordinary people can not adapt to such a climate, the purpose of this war is to occupy this elite area.

Zhu Youxiao said: "After occupying this place, our Daming Royal Tenglong Bank will jointly own the oil in this place with Zhu Changrun, and the distribution ratio is 37 open, so that Zhu Changrun has 30 percent, and we Daming Royal Tenglong Bank has 70 percent, this is an investment, and it is a risky investment, do not force everyone to participate in this investment, but the future distribution of benefits can not participate, it is voluntary."

Everyone can see the hot sales of petroleum products in Daming, and the supply exceeds demand, since Zhu Youxiao thinks that there is a huge amount of oil in that place, then there must be. So no one is stupid enough not to participate in this war, everyone is no longer the group of fools raised by Zhu Yuanzhang like pigs in history, looking at the treasures at home, the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and they have long become shrewd businessmen.

Seeing that everyone was looking at themselves with blank eyes, Zhu Youxiao smiled and continued to say to everyone: "In fact, the bottom of this Persian Gulf basin is a cornucopia, why don't I use the Ming army to occupy this place, just like the new Chang'an, New Luoyang, Ming Island Those places are handled, it is because this is a cornucopia, only our royal family has the ability to do it alone, if the Ming army is involved, our royal family monopolizes the oil, which will make others gossip, and will also let the Ming treasury take away a huge amount of property." The treasury must be separated from our Tenglong Bank, the treasury belongs to all the people of the Ming Empire, and the Tenglong Bank belongs to our royal ownership, we can subsidize the treasury, but we must also have the royal family's own private property, which is also one of the foundations of our eternal rule of the Ming Empire, you don't need to remember this. ”

This time, in addition to gathering more than 5,000 retired veterans, he also purchased 30 warships and 40 cargo ships from the shipyard managed by Qi Jin. These warships are all advanced steam engine powered warships, which are definitely the most advanced in the Ming Dynasty, for which the Ming Royal Tenglong Bank paid 10 million taels of silver, which is still taken care of in the royal identity, other local banks do not have this strength, and they do not have Zhu Youxiao, a cheating traverser, and they cannot accumulate wealth so quickly as Zhu Youxiao's royal family, so they can only explore slowly.

In order to meet the needs of thirty warships and forty cargo ships, Zhu Youxiao summoned more than 3,500 retired soldiers of the navy, as for the senior generals of the navy, Zhu Youxiao did not dare to let them come, the three major admirals have their own tasks, if Zhu Youxiao summons them, then they will be abolished for private purposes, this is definitely a bad example, if the local bank pays a high price to dig the corner of the navy in the future, Zhu Youxiao has no way to convince others, since the emperor can do it, then why can't people, It's a big deal, talking about money.
