Before Zhu Zaiwei left the Ming Dynasty, he recruited a group of civil and military generals, and all of them were appointed as subordinate officials of his palace, from officials to finance to military and cultural talents, and even scientific and technological medical talents.

In addition to this, there were a group of commoners composed of peasants and craftsmen.

In short, Zhu Zai-ho was really serious about preparing to go to the northern part of the Americas to establish his own vassal state.

After eating and sleeping all the way and wading across the ocean, Zhu Zai-yun finally arrived on today's Florida Peninsula, and under the blowing of the sea breeze, he did not feel tired, only excited, because he could establish his own country on this land.

But if Zhu Zai-yun wanted to establish his Dachang Kingdom here at this time, he had to first uproot a Spanish stronghold here, which was also a trading port of Texas.

Unlike the hospitable Indians encountered by the Spanish colonists when they first came here, the Spanish colonists that Zhu Zai-ho and his courtiers met were naturally not hospitable or welcoming.

Texas is a transliteration of the accent "tejas" that the Indians pronounced when they met the Spanish colonists, which originally meant "friends", but it is clear that for the Indians, the Spanish colonists were not friends.

Now, this is the territory given to Zhu Zaiby by Emperor Zhu Houzhao of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Zaiwei is naturally reluctant to use this title anymore, but changes his name to New Dezhou, in order to commemorate the Middle Earth where he grew up, and the new word naturally shows that this Dezhou is not the Dezhou of Shandong.

When the Spanish galleon in New Texas had just set sail to carry gold and silver back to Western Europe, the Spanish colonists discovered Zhu Zaiwei, the king of the Ming Dynasty, and his party.

As a result, the Spanish warships stationed here went directly to the battle and attacked Zhu Zaiwei in waves.

Zhu Zaiwei gave the order to let the navy that followed him attack, and the rifled artillery of the Ming Dynasty shelled the Spanish warship and shattered it into a pile of scattered logs on the spot.

The officers and soldiers of the Spanish colonies were killed, wounded, and many fell into the sea like dumplings.

The Spanish warships were defeated, and they could not bargain for the slightest advantage in front of the Ming warships.

At this time, Zhu Zaiwei was not in a hurry to let the Ming army land, but ordered the Ming army to capture some Spanish colonizer officers and soldiers floating on the sea.

As a result, these Spanish colonialist officers and soldiers became prisoners in the hands of Zhu Zaiwei.

The whole process didn't take long, and the Spanish merchant ships had not yet had time to return to the port of New Texas, and the Spanish governor stationed in New Texas, Odok, was also a little surprised when he saw all this:

"How did the Orientals come here, their artillery has become so sharp! They had just taken Saint-Domingo with the Indians, and now what did they want! ”

With no one to answer Odoc's questions, he could only order his well-trained soldiers to hold on to the forts and fortifications.

At this time, Zhu Zai-wei and his fleet had already stopped in the shallow sea area not far from the port of New Texas, and then, the Ming army opened the cannon window and fired directly at the defenders on the Spanish shore.

The Spanish colonizer's army lost most of its strength on the spot under intense artillery fire, and within half an hour the entire army retreated.

Odoc had to flee New Texas with some of his remnants in a hurry.

And Zhu Zaiwei also landed on the land, as well as the thousands of Han immigrants he brought.

The other Spanish colonists in New Texas had not yet had time to escape, these were merchants or craftsmen who had immigrated from Spain, as well as many Indian slaves and black slaves.

These people all looked at Zhu Zaiwei and his party with a look of trepidation and curiosity.

Zhu Zai-wei took a deep breath of air from the land, walked towards New Texas, and soon, he was stationed in the city hall of New Texas, sat on the leather chair left by the Spanish governor Odoc, looked at the oil paintings and sculptures and mistresses that Odoc had not had time to take away, and only ordered: "This woman stays, and the others move away!" ”

Zhu Zaiwei unceremoniously took possession of Odoc's mistress, and left his first semen in New Texas in the body of Odoc's mistress, and named it Xin Mi, which means "bride", and was established as a waiter.

Prior to this, Zhu Zaiwei also issued a royal decree, that is, to arrest all the women in New Texas City, except for the old children, and also to ask his long history Song Zu to select the ten most stunning girls, and he wanted to be accepted as concubines.

Zhu Zaiwei actually already has twelve concubines in the country, and before leaving the capital, he also spent a lot of money to accept three more, and now he came to New Texas to occupy the mistress of the Spanish governor Odoc, not to mention, but also to accept ten more girls, it seems that he is a faint king.

But in fact, Zhu Zaiwei wanted to use this to extend the heir, because he knew that if he wanted to build his empire, what he needed most was people, especially those with his own blood, so he naturally couldn't wait for more women to reproduce.

What Zhu Zai-yun is thinking about now is to increase the population, especially the number of Han people, after all, there are still relatively few Han people who are willing to immigrate here with him.

Therefore, not only did he come to accept women to have sex for 0 things, but also ordered that except for the most beautiful ten of the women he had captured, the rest were distributed to his officers and soldiers, according to different ranks, the number of points was different, and it was numbered and then drawn by lot for these Spanish women in New Texas, so it was also fairer, but Zhu Zaiwei also asked them to have sex immediately, and ordered the old women in the palace he brought to form an inspection team to check whether these women were broken by the Ming army.

So, at the request of Zhu Zaiwei, the Ming soldiers who occupied New Texas all raped the women of New Texas, whether they were literati or martial artists, as long as they were Han men, they all needed to sprinkle seeds.

It seems cruel and a nightmare for these Spanish women in New Texas.

However, in order to increase his own population, Zhu Zaiwei could only do this, he could not violate the law and emotions to arrest the Han women of the Ming Dynasty, and could only ensure that half of the blood of the new generation of Changguo people was of Han blood.

The women of New Texas have become the essence of the Ming soldiers who have just come to New Texas, just waiting to conceive and have children in the future.

The Spanish men of New Texas were naturally the first people, including the Indian and black slaves here.

The first thing Zhu Zaiwei asked these people to do was to move the equipment and firearms he brought from the Ming Dynasty to New Texas City.

At the same time, Zhu Zaiwei also began to order his ministers to formulate the "Great Ming Law? Chang Guo Law was used as the law of his vassal state, and in addition to this, he also ordered his own ministers to prepare their own enthronement ceremony.

Zhu Zaiwei advocated Confucianism to govern the country, so he advocated reducing the punishment, and also made it clear that etiquette is greater than the law, and at the same time gave the Han people who immigrated with him as scholars, and according to different classes, they were named doctors or Lang and other officials, even the peasants who came with the immigrants were also named Wenlin Lang, and then these people were all listed as the class of scholars, and directly stated that in addition to rebellion, they would not easily kill soldiers!

The others are all classified as people, and the current people can only be these Spanish immigrants and Indians who have been captured or have been managed by him, and the punishment for the people is not severe, except for the heinous crimes, the most severe is only the palace punishment.

After all, Zhu Zailei himself knows that what he lacks most now is people, and instead of killing these aliens easily, it is better to cut off their descendants, so that they can continue to serve as the labor force of the empire.

Based on the principle of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce and considering the reason why he was the prince of the Ming Empire, Zhu Zaiwei also ordered his Wenchen to compile the "Dachang Kingdom Guild Code", which clearly stipulated that the status of Indians, that is, local peasants, was higher than that of Spanish immigrant merchants.

This is also influenced by the idea that the Indians are the domestic slaves of the Ming and Han people, which has become popular in Central America, and it happens to be in line with the Confucianism that Zhu Zaiwei believes, so it is also stipulated.

In addition, for commerce, Zhu Zai-wei adopted the strategy of closing the country to the outside world, stipulating that the Chang State would only trade with the Central Empire Daming, and all other foreign countries would be regarded as pirates and could accept tribute.

Zhu Zai-wei also had his purpose in doing this, and the purpose was naturally to prevent his young Dachang Kingdom from being invaded by foreign forces through the implementation of the sea ban policy.

The governor of Spain, Octotor, was eventually captured by the Ming army, which was now a regular army.

However, Zhu Zaiwei castrated him, and was also ready to reuse him, let the eunuchs he brought teach him Chinese characters, and prepare to use him as his guide to unify Changguo in the future.

Octop didn't expect that he would also become a eunuch, but what gave him more headache was those complicated Chinese characters, he didn't want to learn, but the cruel whipping forced him to learn, he naturally hated Zhu Zaiwei These Orientals, but he didn't have any conditions and qualifications for revenge, he had to be careful about the chance of being killed by the same kind of eunuchs from time to time, and finally he had to get used to flattering Zhu Zaiyan's lifestyle in order to get more rights and interests to survive.

Zhu Zai-ho did not immediately occupy other territories and establish other cities at the beginning, but began his own road of founding a country and farming in New Texas.

On the first day of the first month of the forty-seventh year of Zhengde, he officially ascended the throne and called the king, and established the year name Chengguang, with the forty-seventh year of Zhengde as the first year of Changguo Chengguang, and temporarily established New Dezhou as the national capital.

Soon after Zhu Zai-yun ascended the throne, he began to establish ordnance processing factories, cement factories and textile workshops in New Dezhou, as well as other factories of various kinds, and then cultivated farmland, hoarded grain, and in addition to this, selected the good sons of the Han people from the ranks of the soldiers as recruits to train and expand the army.

In the end, three years later, Zhu Zaiwei already had 20,000 elite soldiers, three cities, and more than 30,000 hectares of fertile land.

Twenty years later, the first newborns of Zhu Zaigen's Dachang Kingdom grew up one after another, and Zhu Zaiwei also began to establish the imperial examination system, but only the children of the peasant and scholar classes were allowed to participate in the imperial examination, that is, the children of Indians and Han Chinese.

From this time on, Zhu Zai-tong's Dachang Kingdom began to enter a period of expansion, and the increasingly powerful army completely drove the Spanish colonists out of the North American continent, and the Tatars and other nomads also drove to the cold regions further north, completely unified the entire area south of the Great Lakes and north of Florida, and established a very powerful agricultural empire.

However, due to the excessive expansion of the population and the increase in land annexation, as well as the collapse of the kingdom's financial system due to the excessive number of members of the royal family, there was eventually a peasant revolt.

Although the uprising was suppressed with the help of the Ming Central Empire, the situation in the kingdom did not improve, and finally fell into a state of division due to rebellion within the ruling class, and after a long period of division, it was reunited.

Of course, this is a later story, now that Chang Guo has just been established, no one knows his fate hundreds of years later.

The conversation turned back.

Zhu Houxi also brought his men to New Hanyang, located in present-day Brazil, and prepared to establish his Dahan Prefecture here.

Zhu Houxi has been reading the Book of Han lately because he wants to turn his Hanyang Prefecture into the Han Empire.

Looking at the row of small thatched huts and stone houses against the coast and the destitute simple port in front of him, Zhu Houxi did not feel so desperate, but had a sense of excitement, and couldn't help but instruct his little Lu Bing:

"Lu Bing, you go and see if there are any people living here, if there is, all of them will be arrested, except for infants, all the rest will be executed, we have brought the entire Xingwang Mansion people this time, we don't need these savages, infants and young children have no memory, we can teach them Chinese characters and Ming official dialect to become our own people, we will first set up this place as the new Hanyang of the royal city."

After Lu Bing got the order, he took the Ming New Han Army ashore first.

And at this time, Huang Jin, the eunuch who had been with Zhu Houxi since he was a child, couldn't help but say: "Outsiders only know that His Highness is good at alchemy, but they don't know that His Highness is not an ordinary person, His Royal Highness is a noble man, with the blood of Taizu on his body, how can he fall into mediocrity, and now he has come to this wild place to build a country, His Royal Highness should also be happy, just to turn this place into our Xingwang Mansion." ”

Zhu Houxi smiled: "Lone not only wants to turn this place into Xingwangfu, but also wants to be a real emperor!" The world is so big, not only China, but unfortunately, I am only His Majesty's cousin, not as good as his own son, and I can share a more livable North American land! ”

……

The whole overseas was a little messed up by Zhu Houzhao, and for a time the vassal kings built countries everywhere, and finally even the nobles were also sealed by Zhu Houzhao to build a country in these places.

For a time, various kingdoms, principalities, and princely states established by the Han people were established one after another.

Zhu Houzhao also carried out the Tui'en sub-feudal system, so that every once in a while, the Han state multiplied a batch.

But Zhu Houzhao is not worried that there are not enough Han people in these countries, but that there are not enough Han people, or even not enough people.

Because, as far as he knew, these royal relatives and nobles of the Ming Dynasty carried out the most primitive extermination policy against the local natives in the early days of the establishment of the country, because this was the most effective policy to establish the ruling order, and the killing would only stop when the number of people killed had dropped to the most reasonable area.

This has also led to a decrease in the global population, the disappearance of a large number of primitive tribes, and the disappearance of a large number of primitive civilizations, which are no longer different from Western colonizers, and even more cruel, because the weapons in their hands are more advanced, because these civilizations sent by the Ming Dynasty are more advanced.

The disappearance of other ethnic groups in the world has led to a large number of Han Chinese migrating from the country to become local rulers.

These Han countries give a particularly high treatment to Han immigrants in the Ming Dynasty, basically as long as you are willing to go, you can directly become an official, even if you are a farmer in China.

If the technicians or gentry were more popular, they were directly knighted and given land.

The central court of the Ming Dynasty had to improve the treatment of the Han people in China on the one hand, and on the other hand, find ways to formulate some policies to encourage childbirth to stimulate the increase in the number of Han people.

In particular, it is particularly important to increase the number of Han people, the imperial court not only provides child subsidies to those who give birth to children, but also strictly prohibits the abandonment of infants, and even began to prohibit Han women from selling silver, improve the status of Han women, no longer issue the memorial arch of chastity, but give birth to more than five children and the mother of no limit to men and women to grant the virtuous memorial arch, reduce the corresponding taxes and provide welfare subsidies.

Why women who give birth to more are called virtuous, the Ming court naturally does not care, and its own official media to explain.

Thereupon.

The Han Chinese entered a period of demographic explosion.

However, even if the population of other ethnic groups is reduced or assimilated, in order to increase subsidies and incomes, men from Han families who are slightly richer have taken wives and concubines, and this has also caused the price of foreign female slaves to increase sharply, and more and more foreign women have been sold into the Ming Dynasty and become concubines of major Han families.

This has led to a serious imbalance in the ratio of men and women among other ethnic groups, as well as a serious decline in fertility rates and even greater declines.

The bride Zhang was originally the daughter of a French duke, but because of the criminal slave trade, she was abducted and sold by traffickers to Daming and became the third wife of locksmith Zhou Jun.

Zhou Jun has not had a good time since he married this Zhang, and Zhang has to go out every day to buy medicine for him, after all, she has no heirs now, not as big as a big house and a second room, so she does all the big and small work in the family, on this day, the white Zhang family, who had just been run by Zhou Jun, was woken up by Zhou Jun not long after:

"Stinky girl, Lao Tzu spent so much money to buy you, so that you Hu Nu Grandma has a good milk child, but Lao Tzu's waist is so bad that you can't conceive our Zhou family's seed! Buy medicine for Lao Tzu, tonight, don't think about being idle! ”

Zhang had to swallow his anger and went out, as soon as he went out, he saw that the entire Damingmen chessboard street was full of people, but he also followed curiously, and then he saw a young and beautiful Hu girl sitting in the carriage, and was about to ask someone, so he heard the people on the side have already said first: "It turns out that this is the British princess that His Majesty wants to marry, and it looks a little bit good!" ”

"English princess? Was she also bought", Zhang Shi asked suspiciously, and he felt a burst of nausea, and then vomited, and couldn't help but go to the hospital, and finally learned that he was pregnant, and couldn't help fainting with joy.

The so-called English princess is naturally Elizabeth, but it was not bought by Zhu Houzhao, but sent by King Henry VIII of England on his own initiative to agree to Zhu Houzhao's request.

This was not difficult for the King of England, because in fact Western European countries already had a tradition of marriage, and even the royal families of Western European countries could be related to each other.

Looking at Elizabeth's shy girlish appearance, Zhu Houzhao still unceremoniously stretched out his hand into the skirt and stroked it on her legs like milk......

Sleeping with Elizabeth is just a political benefit of Zhu Houzhao as the Ming Emperor, and in this era, no one can say that this is a wrong way.

But after Zhu Houzhao slept with Elizabeth, he only raised Elizabeth in the deep palace, and since then, he still focuses on court politics, in this era, she Elizabeth is just an ordinary British royal lady, not the British queen in history, so naturally she will not attract too much attention.

Henry VIII finally won the opportunity to send students to Daming at the cost of millions of silver dollars and his daughter's body every year, and it was precisely because of this that Britain and Daming were temporarily in a state of cooperation, and Britain also sent a fleet to attack Spain as promised, nominally to help Daming, but in fact it also wanted to challenge Spain's hegemony in Western Europe.

Of course, Zhu Houzhao believed that with Britain's current strength, it was impossible to help the Ming defenders in Ceuta much, and he still had to hope that the Ming army in Ceuta could use their weapon superiority and rich experience in military struggle to resist the attack of the Spanish Armada.

Zhu Houzhao admitted that even though the Ming Empire already had the most powerful army and navy in the world, it was still difficult to form an absolute crushing strength in all regions of the world, because it was difficult for him to quickly deploy tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops tens of thousands of miles away.

Otherwise, he would not have agreed with Xia Yan's suggestion to make the king overseas, not to delegate power again, and to promote the Han people's base in these places through the decentralization of land interests and ruling power, and then enhance the control of the Ming or Han people over these places.

Affected by the Ming Dynasty's blow to Portugal too hard, now Portugal and Spain have merged, therefore, in today's world, it is mainly the Ming and Spain competing for hegemony, although Spain aggressively led the armada to attack the Ming Dynasty's closest colony to the Mediterranean Sea Ceuta region, but the Ming Dynasty is also in the Americas to encroach on Spain's colonies step by step.

The raids of the Tatar nomadic cavalry made it difficult for the Spanish colonists to gain a foothold in the northern part of North America, and the Indians helped the Ming army to set fires everywhere in Central America and also caused the Spanish colonists to abandon their cities and land.

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao believes that even if the Ming Dynasty may suffer losses in some places, on the whole, Spain cannot be the opponent of the Ming Dynasty, because the civilization of the Ming Dynasty is more advanced.

Zhu Houzhao still can't escape the problem of determining the heir, and the three princes' notes also reminded him that now some princes who are not interested in being the emperor of the central court have been sealed, and several princes who remain in the country want to be emperors, how to choose the most suitable successor, Zhu Houzhao has thought about it for a long time.

In the end, Zhu Houzhao decided to let these princes go to the grassroots level to experience and experience, starting from the magistrate or the government magistrate, etc., in short, just like the new science and technology jinshi or the jinshi who just graduated from Beijing Normal University, they all have to start from the grassroots level, and then slowly consider it.

And what Zhu Houzhao didn't expect was that these princes were sent to the local government to be close to the people, and their performance was not bad, because they were the heirs of the emperor, especially the active and fair governance of a county, and not for the sake of getting rich and promoted, and in order to win the popularity of the people and the favor of the emperor, so, on the contrary, they were more pure, more honest and more pragmatic, but for the civil and military generals, it was very uncomfortable, because of this kind of subordinate officials, they often did not dare to oppress people with the power of the officials.
