Emperor Chongzheng of the Ming Dynasty was about to go to Europe, and as soon as the news was announced by the "Beijing News", it was like a thunderstorm, and all the people who heard the news, whether it was civil and military officials, ordinary people, or even the envoys of the European envoys, were all scorched by the thunder.

Since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, there has never been an emperor who has gone out so far, it can be said that in all dynasties, except for the emperor of Mengyuan, no emperor has ever set foot on the continent of Europe tens of thousands of miles away, the explosiveness of this news can be imagined.

The queen mother of the two palaces couldn't sit still at first, and after they received the news, they immediately came to the Qianqing Palace together, and caught Zhu Cijiong for a good lecture.

Zhu Cijiong naturally had a strategy for dealing with the two queen mothers, and he told a very powerful lie, that is, to accompany the imperial concubine Princess Anna back to the European province, her relatives are all royal families in Europe, what's wrong with everyone moving around more! Besides, now that the steamships are about to be built, it will only take two or three months to go to Europe, which is about the same time as the imperial driver's personal expedition to Dongfan and Liaodong, so there is nothing to worry about.

The two queen mothers rarely interfered with him, and they were so fooled by him, they really fooled the past, as for the civil and military officials, Zhu Cijiong also had the same reason, I want to accompany the imperial concubine to save a parent, you don't care if you go to war, you will take care of it when you go to your relatives, is it too lenient!

So, the ministers shut up, of course, as an emperor to go to Europe is not so simple, all aspects need to be prepared:

First of all, this steamer must be had, he can't go by sailboat, the emperor is not a joke when he leaves Beijing, leaving the capital for two or three months is not a big problem, if you can't see anyone for half a year or even ten months, then the whole Ming Dynasty has to be messed up.

In addition, for the sake of safety and to support the scene, he decided to bring both the Nanyang Naval Division and the Beiyang Naval Division, as well as the First Legion of the Praetorian Guard, as well as tens of thousands of Jinyi guards and eunuchs, these people must also be on ships, so he simply ordered the Dongda Construction Shipyard to stop all other work, and make every effort to build super treasure ships and transform old warships!

Dongda Construction Shipyard now has eleven waterways, which can accommodate 100 super battleships and 5 treasure ships at the same time, and it will take at least half a month to transform a batch of old warships, and Zhu Cijiong plans to take at least 200 super battleships and 200 Fuchuan battleships to Europe this time, so it will take two months to transform the old ships alone, and he also wants to use the super treasure ship as the flagship, and I don't know if he can build a super treasure ship in two months!

Isn't it a bit too much to say that more than 400 warships? In fact, it's not much at all, you must know that when the Three Treasures eunuch Zheng He went to the Western Ocean, the entire fleet had more than 200 large and small sea ships, and as an emperor, he couldn't be worse than a eunuch!

After the matter of the fleet was decided, there were many other things, Zhu Cijiong did not just go to sabotage the peace talks this time, he also wanted to take a good look along the way, prepare for the future development of colonies, he also wanted to carry out cultural invasion in the colonies of the allies along the way, and also wanted to open the business of the Ming Dynasty to the European continent, engage in economic invasion, and so on.

The history of world colonization tells him that conquest by force can only be conquered for a while, unless you can maintain your hegemony forever, otherwise once the force is not strong, the colonies will inevitably become independent, and the cultural invasion is different, the culture has a long history and far-reaching influence, throughout the ages!

This cultural invasion is naturally none other than Zodiac Zhou, so after the New Year, after arranging the affairs of the fleet, Zhu Cijiong immediately invited the prince of the country to come to meet the Zodiac Zhou.

Huang Daozhou's goods are well-known direct ministers, as long as he thinks that the emperor is reasonable, he dares to top, so the study where this goods entered, after the great gift of the monarch and the minister, immediately began to make a direct admonition: "Your Majesty, you can't go to Europe, you can't miss the national affairs for a woman, Europe is tens of thousands of miles away from the Ming Dynasty, in case you have a mistake, what should the Ming do, you don't know the storm at sea......." “

Seeing his gushing posture, Zhu Cijiong immediately raised his hand and said, "Wait, Huang Aiqing, and listen to me." “

Huang Daozhou was suddenly interrupted from his speech, which was very unhappy, but the person who interrupted him was the emperor, and he was not good at attacking, so he could only stand there arrogantly with a posture that was ready to refute at any time, waiting for the emperor to say an excuse to refute him at any time.

Zhu Cijiong didn't say any excuses, he just smiled and said: "Huang Aiqing, I came to you this time mainly to discuss the opening of the Daming Chinese Academy in the colonies of the allies and in Europe, and I am going to take you to Europe this time, will you go?" “

When Huang Daozhou heard this, his face was like performing a Sichuan opera face-changing skill, and he immediately changed from a white face to a red face, and the stiff neck of the stalk seemed to have suddenly become made of water, and in an instant, he changed from a straightforward minister to a courtier with a beard and a horse, only to see his old face smiling like a chrysanthemum, and flattering: "Thank you to the emperor, Weichen is willing to go to Europe with the emperor." “

Zhu Cijiong knew that this product would be motivated as soon as it was said to spread the learning of the sages, and he pretended to be serious and said: "It's not enough for you to go with me alone, do you want to stay in the European continent or the colony of any allied country to be in charge of the study?" “

Huang Daozhou's head was running wildly, and the names of rotten Confucians appeared in his mind, what Liu Zongzhou, Wen Zhenmeng, Fan Jingwen, etc., etc., but most of these people have a very bad background, that is, they are all Donglin Party members!

The emperor is very disgusted with the friends of this he is very clear, he himself is a member of the Donglin Party, but because he does not like to participate in the activities of the friends, the emperor reuses him, and now the so-called remnants of the Donglin Party The emperor will not even let them govern?

Thinking of this, Huang Daozhou said worriedly: "Weichen thinks of many capable ministers, like Liu Zongzhou, Wen Zhenmeng, and Fan Jingwen, all of whom are knowledgeable and talented, if they are put in charge of learning, they will definitely be able to do it well, but they were all members of the Donglin Party, I don't know if the emperor is willing to use them?" “

This rectum, who speaks without a turn, doesn't this make it clear that the emperor is in the army, if he wants to meet Chongzhen's kind of emperor who is a little nervous, it is estimated that he will be beaten to the end with a rod based on this sentence, but Zhu Cijiong is not neurotic, he is disgusted with friends, but it is a friend of officialdom, and it has little to do with officialdom, so he doesn't care whether he is a friend or not.

Zhu Cijiong replied casually: "As long as they don't use their brains in the officialdom, as for studying, of course they can, doing more learning and less politics, which is very good." “

When Huang Daozhou heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said convincingly: "Wechen thanked the emperor for them, I don't know how large the emperor wants to set up an academy, so Wechen can make sure how many people to take." “

Zhu Cijiong said boldly: "Studying is a matter for thousands of generations, so naturally you can do as much as you can, or that sentence, don't be limited to imperial examination articles, teach more practical things, the so-called learning to apply, so as to attract more people to learn." “

When Huang Daozhou heard this, he knelt on the ground excitedly, and hissed: "Thousands of generations, thousands of generations, the emperor said it is too good, Weichen must let the learning of sages spread throughout the world, thousands of generations, a long history!" “
