In Huntelaar's hand, he held a globe.

The Ming Dynasty has now undergone some reorganization by Edison and Nobel, and the Royal Academy of Sciences has many modern tools, and the globe is one.

The first time Huntelaar saw this globe, his heart was already shocked, the warships and merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty did not appear in the sea a few times, but this globe really contained the world he had seen in the voyage, and it was so detailed.

"Colleagues, my name is Huntelaar, and I used to be a naval colonel in the Kingdom of the Netherlands, but now, like all of you, I am a courtier of His Majesty, a member of the Ming Dynasty. Today, Your Majesty asked me and you to talk about the situation in the world, in fact, I also have a lot to say at the beginning, because there are too many, I don't know where to start, I have gone to too many places, some places are bigger than the Ming Dynasty, such as the Americas, Africa, and some places are also very small, such as many countries in Europe, not as big as a state in the Ming Dynasty, such as the Netherlands, his area is probably not one-thirtieth of the Ming Dynasty, but the Netherlands has more than 10,000 merchant ships, and hundreds of warships, This is one of the reasons why the Netherlands has been able to establish itself as a great power in the world. In addition, there is also here, there is a country with an area of less than one-fiftieth of the Ming Dynasty, it is called the Kingdom of England, but they also have many warships and merchant ships, and they continue to conquer and trade on the sea, and earn a lot of silver. On this side is the Iberian Peninsula, where there are two maritime powers that have conquered a larger territory than the Ming Dynasty. ”

Huntelaar kept turning the globe and pointed out the world powers of this era one by one.

The current situation in Europe is actually very complicated, the traditional powers of Spain and Portugal have gradually declined, and the Netherlands, Britain, and France have gradually become new powers.

In addition to the Ming Dynasty, there was also a Mughal empire among the great powers of Asia.

There was an Ottoman Empire between Asia and Europe, and it was not bad.

The other countries were relatively mediocre, and Huntelaar only briefly mentioned it.

However, Huntelaar said in more detail about the materials and wealth of the world, where there is more food, where there is more gold, silver, copper and iron, where there are more beautiful women, and which places are suitable for business.

Huntelaar spoke for nearly two hours before he stopped, and the civil and military ministers of the Ming Dynasty were already in thought.

The world is so big, and Daming only occupies such a small territory, how can this work? Now that the military strength of the Ming Dynasty has far exceeded the world level, think about those European countries driving sailboats are rampant and domineering on the ocean, but the Ming Dynasty is staying in Asia [obscurity], and the generals have begun to brew ambitions in their hearts.

Wu Sangui was the first to come out and said: "Your Majesty, after listening to the words of the national abbot, the minister felt panicked! The world is so big, Daming should have played with those countries in Europe to see if our Daming's artillery fire is more fierce! Your Majesty, please lead the navy to the battle! ”

Ming Jian smiled and said, "Uncle, since you have such ambitions, how can I not allow it?" However, this time I want to go to the expedition in person, so you will be the pioneer, uncle! Message: Order all the navy to gather in Jinzhou Bay, and go to sea on time on August 1, in addition, tell the merchants of the world that all those who are willing to follow the navy to the sea for business and trade transactions will gather in Jinzhou Bay! ”

"Yes!"

.......

Personally conscripted again, Ming Jian secretly thought that with such powerful firepower this time, what could the world do to itself? This time, we must conquer the world and let the Chinese civilization spread to every corner of the earth.

On August 1, Golden State Bay was very lively.

In addition to the 100 huge ships of the imperial court, more than 1,000 civilian merchant ships also gathered here, and the merchant ships were loaded with various goods.

As soon as the hour came, Ming Jian gave an order, and the Ming fleet set off immediately.

In the Song Dynasty, Ming Jian had the experience of sailing, when he first arrived in Ryukyu, then to Southeast Asia, and later to Riben.

This time is no exception, after conquering these countries close to the Ming Dynasty first, you can avoid a lot of worries.

So a few days later, the Ming fleet arrived at the Ryukyus.

The current Ryukyus are controlled by the Satsuma Domain, and it is a puppet regime, and it has not paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty for a long time.

Therefore, Ming Jian also considered using it as the target of the first shot.

After the Ming warships approached the Ryukyu Islands, the warships of the Satsuma clan also began to sort.

It's no wonder that the Satsuma clan doesn't know what the Ming warships are like, since Toyotomi Hideyoshi was taught a lesson by the Ming army, the Japanese stupid people are still honest and dare not cross the border, so they rarely know about the Ming military.

They know that the Ming Dynasty fell, but in recent years, the Ming Dynasty has risen again, and they also know it.

The warships of the two armies soon confronted each other, and the navy of the Satsuma Domain was stunned when they saw the huge ships of the Ming army!

At this time, Ming Jian ordered the ten warships in front to open fire and attack the warships of the Satsuma Domain.

Immediately, a burst of artillery fire rose into the air, and one by one, the ships of the Satsuma clan were destroyed.

The battle lasted only twenty minutes before it ended, and the Ming army directly destroyed the army of the Satsuma clan stationed on Ryukyu Island with artillery fire.

Subsequently, the Ming army began to land and fight, the Shenji battalion was in front, the dragon guard, the tiger guard, and the eagle guard were behind, and there were not many people in the day, only more than 3,000 people, and more than half of them were wiped out at sea just now, and the rest were stubbornly resisting in various castles.

As a result, the castle and the people were killed, and Ming Jian would not be polite.

Three days later, the entire Ryukyu Island was controlled by the Ming army, and the king of the Ryukyu Kingdom, Shangzhi, was surprised and delighted and ran to the temporary palace of Mingjian with his family.

"Ryukyu King Shangzhi, meet His Majesty the Ming Emperor!"

Shang Zhi wanted to kneel down for Ming Jian, but Ming Jian stopped him and said: "King of the Ryukyus, I will eliminate the Japanese stupid people for you this time, I hope you can fight to defend it, if you want to be dignified, you have to work hard, everything is only when you are strong, and the enemy will not dare to bully you!" ”

Shang Zhi's face was hot for a while, in fact, the country of Ryukyu was not lost in his hands, but his grandfather Shang Ning was lost when he was king. However, with the strength of the Ryukyus, it is indeed difficult to do it over Xiao Hichi.

"Your Majesty's lesson is that Your Majesty begs Your Majesty to provide all-round support to the Ryukyus and help them build up their own army, so that the Ryukyu Kingdom will be grateful for Your Majesty's kindness for generations to come."

Shang Zhi said busily.

At this time, it is wisest to ask Da Ming for help, and Shang Zhi also knows very well that now he must hold on to Da Ming's long legs tightly.

Ming Jian nodded and said: "In this case, it is better for the Ming Dynasty to send troops to help you guard the country, you are still the king, you have the right to govern the Ryukyus, you only need to supplement the Ming army with grain and grass in peacetime, in addition, you have to develop the shipbuilding industry, I went to sea this time, it is to carry out maritime trade and conquer all countries in the world, if you don't hurry up, then the Ryukyus will not be able to share any benefits." ”

Shang Zhi was overjoyed and said: "What Your Majesty said is very true, the minister will send someone to build a merchant ship and follow the Great Tomorrow Army to sea!" ”

The Ming army then repaired in the Ryukyus for three days, and then waved its division and drove towards the sun.
