"Today you are about to go on an expedition against the Burmese thieves, this expedition, I ask each of you to give up that ridiculous mercy and mercy, my army can not have a trace of mercy and mercy when dealing with the enemy, there is only you on the battlefield, and every day since you left the empire is on the battlefield, in your eyes there should be only enemies in your eyes, there are no so-called civilians, and the purpose of your expedition this time is one, everywhere you go, there are no foreign races."

"No." Everyone shouted in unison.

"Let's go!" Zhu Youxiao gave an order, and the new army officially set off.

……

The destination of this expedition was Mubang, and this time the army was accompanied by a master of building a fortress assigned by the Dutch, and Zhu Youxiao asked to establish a solid fortress defense system in Mubang.

Moreover, Zhu Youxiao also recruited a group of apprentices with medical experience from the Imperial Medical College to accompany the army. At the same time, Zhu Youxiao also summarized some matters to be paid attention to based on the experience of his previous life and handed them over to this group of apprentice military doctors.

At the same time, Zhu Youxiao asked Zhang Guoji to prepare a large amount of cement, and as for manpower, he used local prisoners. In this battle, Zhu Youxiao will capture all the local men to build a fortress and a gallop road from Mubang to Yunnan Province, and all the women will be transported back to the empire to help the bachelors of the empire solve the problem of singleness.

Zhu Youxiao also prepared to carry out the reform of the land in Mubang, and at the same time relocate a large number of people from Sichuan and Yunnan to ensure that this place will be surnamed Zhonghua even after a thousand years.

It will take several years and a lot of money to carry out this plan, and it will also require a person of outstanding ability and integrity. At this time, Zhu Youxiao thought of Wei Dazhong, one of the six gentlemen of Donglin, who was honest and upright in history, and his son Wei Xuelian was martyred forty days after the death of the Ming Dynasty. Now Wei Dazhong is in charge of serving as an official.

"During the Wei Affair, I am going to make you the governor of Yunnan, and a very important thing in your trip is to immigrate from Yunnan and Sichuan to Xinding Mubang. I have asked Zhu Jiyuan to assist you in this matter. ”

"But the army has just set out, why does Your Majesty think that this battle will definitely be able to take nearly 2,000 miles of Mubang?" Wei Dazhong asked very bluntly. There were many people in the court who opposed Zhu Youxiao's dispatch of troops to Mubang.

"I don't want to take all 2,000 miles, the army only needs to take Mubang, and I have ordered General Qin Liangyu to lead the army to follow the new army to ensure that nothing goes wrong, General Qin is brave and good at fighting, with her, this battle will be won." Zhu Youxiao explained.

"How should Shen Juyao, the former governor of Yunnan, arrange?" Wei Dazhong asked.

"Governor Shen has passed his prime, and he has repeatedly asked to return to his hometown, and this time I just allowed him to return to his hometown." Zhu Youxiao replied.

"Yunnan's taxes are not enough for immigrants to settle down, and I hope that the imperial court can allocate silver taels for emergencies." Wei Dazhong knew that Yunnan's taxes were not large enough to support large-scale immigration.

"I will allocate a million taels of silver dollars for your use within two years, and in addition to immigrating, Yunnan must also do a good job of changing the land and returning to the river. Mu Changzuo, the Duke of Qianguo, is no longer brave with his ancestors, and it is difficult to entrust him with important tasks, and I will leave Qin Liangyu in Yunnan to assist you in implementing the reform of the land and returning to the stream. Zhu Youxiao said.

"No, the minister understands." Wei Dazhong said.

"In addition, when you go to Yunnan, you must improve social studies in various places and implement free education for social science students for three years." Zhu Youxiao said. To put it simply, social studies are government-run township primary schools.

"Why is free education only for three years?" Wei Dazhong asked suspiciously.

"Because I don't have any money, and there's no money in the treasury. And you must also set up elementary schools in each county, which will be responsible for the education of children under the age of ten and over the age of six, and children under the age of ten will be enrolled free of charge, and this fund will be borne by the local government and the imperial court. In addition to the traditional enlightenment textbooks, the education content also has the Chinese pinyin and punctuation marks written by the queen, especially the cultivation of loyal and patriotic thoughts, so that they can understand that they are also the people of the Ming Dynasty and a part of the Chinese nation, only in this way a hundred years later, there will be no Tusi rebellion in Yunnan. Zhu Youxiao said.

Zhu Youxiao's funds are not enough to roll out compulsory education throughout the country, and even six years of compulsory education cannot be supported, so he can only start from a few places first, and then gradually roll it out in the future.

"It is a great good thing to educate the people, and the minister will definitely do his best to fulfill the trust of His Majesty." Wei Dazhong nodded and said.

……

At this time, Sun Yuanhua also returned to Beijing from Liaodong, he did not reject the envoy to the Netherlands, he also wanted to go to the West to see, he even wanted to go to the Vatican to see.

"On your current mission to the West, in addition to establishing good diplomatic relations with the Netherlands, you should also try to make contact with the British." Zhu Youxiao said. After all, from the next hundred years, the British began to rise, and Zhu Youxiao even wanted to intervene in the upcoming civil war in Britain and support Charles I.

"I understand." Sun Yuanhua replied.

"In addition, the purpose of this trip is to help me find talents in mathematics, astronomy, and other fields in the West, and bring them back to the empire." Zhu Youxiao didn't know how to express these later terms.

"Why?" Sun Yuanhua didn't know much about Zhu Youxiao's move.

"The West has begun to lead the empire in these aspects, and now many people in the empire don't even know that the earth is round, and the Westerners are already talking about the earth revolving around the sun." Zhu Youxiao said.

"Does the earth revolve around the sun?" Sun Yuanhua asked suspiciously.

"This is not the key, you will understand when you get to the West, there are two people who must be brought back to me now, one is Galileo? Galilei, now in Rome and a member of the Academy of Sciences, or Johannes? Kepler, he should be in Austria now. Whether you kidnap or cheat these two people, you must get these two people back. Zhu Youxiao said.

Seeing Sun Yuanhua's puzzled face, before Sun Yuanhua could speak, Zhu Youxiao said again: "Don't ask the reason, you will know when you go to the West, anyway, you will get these two people back at all costs." ”

"No." Sun Yuanhua is now full of questions. But Zhu Youxiao didn't give Sun Yuanhua another chance, if Sun Yuanhua was asked like this, Zhu Youxiao didn't know how to answer.

"I give you seven days to prepare, as for the accompanying personnel, you can go to the Guozijian or anywhere else to pick, and I will also send a team of elites to protect you and wait for this mission to the West." Zhu Youxiao said.

"No."
