Chapter 714: The Big Picture

After the next morning, Zhenwu returned to the front hall of the Ningju residence, and ordered Bao Fuquan to move the dense folding box, for the debate of the Beijing newspaper and the Ning Bao, he did not care, to put it bluntly, the Ning Bao is just singing in white, the role is only to set off the Beijing newspaper, he initiated this debate, but to publicize the new deal, let the new deal take root in the hearts of the people, and reduce the resistance to the promotion of the new deal.

The reason why Ning Bao wantonly attacked the imperial court decree and refuted the new policy was just to attract attention, no matter what the year, refuting the imperial court decree was the most able to arouse the interest of the people and attract the attention of the people.

From the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, literary prisons were not uncommon, and all literati cultivated an atmosphere of not talking about current affairs, and in order to reverse this trend, they had to take drastic medicine.

At present, the Qing Dynasty does not have the conditions to fully liberalize speech, one is that there are too few readers, and the other is now in a period of great change, and he suddenly has no bottom in his heart.

In the past few days, Zhenwu has been very attentive to the secret fold, Bao Fuquan also knows that there are a lot of things during this time, Jiangnan is implementing the paving into the mu, Shanxi is trying out the new policy, Xi'an is selling the city, the Beijing division is expanding the new army of the Janissary and recruiting people from Zhili and the surrounding provinces, and the day of the navy's expedition to Africa is just recently, and the piles are not trivial, he naturally did not dare to slack off, and prepared the dense folding box received early, and listened to Zhenwu's instructions, he immediately hugged a stack of dense folding boxes from the side hall.

Zhenwu was most concerned about the naval expedition, and after retiring Bao Fuquan, he first looked through the Karopa, more than 20 boxes, and there were no Nanyang. Zhenwu's brows couldn't help frowning slightly. Now that it's the fourth day of September, it stands to reason that there should be news from Karopa, there will be no big storm, and now the sea surface of the South Sea should have passed the storm period.

After comforting himself, he abandoned these distracting thoughts, calmed down and reviewed the secret fold, and Bao Fuquan hurriedly came in at this time to report: "Your Majesty." Prince Cheng Yinzhi, Prince Heng Yinqi, Chunjun Wang Yinyou, and Xubeile Yinqi handed over signs to see. ”

Zhenwu raised his head and glanced at him, and there was a doubt in his heart, the third, fifth, seventh, and twelfth, let's get together? groaning slightly, he vaguely guessed that these brothers were afraid that they were here for the overseas separation, otherwise it would be impossible for the fifth, seventh, and twelfth to get together with the third. After a little hesitation, he said, "Let them come in, and in addition, bring the Kunyu Wanguo Map." ”

Prince Cheng Yinzhi, Prince Heng Yinqi, Chunjun Wang Yinyou, and Zhu Beile Yinqi are indeed here for the overseas separation, since the return of the fleet on the first voyage to the Americas, all kinds of situations in the Americas have been blown between the princes and nobles of the Beijing Division, and the princes and nobles who have not been divided, who are not envious and jealous of the eyes red. But he didn't dare to take the initiative to ask for a separation.

Navy conquest of Africa. After the news of the eighth and thirteenth brothers being divided into Africa, their Yinzhi, Yinqi, Yinyou, and Yinyi were all as uncomfortable as cats. Finally, this time the new policy was implemented, Zhenwu mentioned that he wanted to increase the division of the Americas, and they couldn't help but be overjoyed, but Zhenwu said that there was no follow-up, which made a lot of people anxious.

After the news of the sale of 300,000 skilled craftsmen and young men in the Wa Kingdom, a number of undivided princes and nobles were even more greedy, with vast fertile land and abundant pastures, plus a large number of slaves, which meant a steady stream of wealth, not to mention the gold and silver mines that made people think of it and could not sleep well.

The fifth and seventh finally couldn't hold it back, and pulled the third and twelfth to test the news, and the four of them entered the hall, and then bowed respectfully and said: "Chen Yinzhi and others respectfully invite the emperor to be safe." ”

Zhenwu put down the fold in his hand, glanced at the four of them, and said with a smile: "No courtesy, give a seat." ”

The four Yinzhi people who were waiting for Xie En sat down, and Zhenwu asked directly: "A few imperial brothers came to see him, what happened?" ”

Seeing that Zhenwu asked so directly, Yinzhi knew that he was busy with affairs, so he cautiously tried to say: "Your Majesty, I heard that there are 300,000 skilled craftsmen and young people in the Japanese country who are sold, and the ministers are quite excited, I wonder if the ministers can buy it?" ”

Hearing this, Zhenwu couldn't help but laugh secretly, buying Japanese slaves is fake, and it is true to try overseas separation, he didn't break it, smiled slightly, and said: "Now that the Americas are feudal, the three provinces of Nanyang and Australia are all in urgent need of slave reclamation, and this group of young and strong people in the Japanese country wants to send them all to the Americas and Nanyang Australia." ”

Seeing that Zhenwu directly refused, Yinzhi, Yinqi, Yinyou, and Yinyi couldn't help but sink in their hearts. It stands to reason that it will not, the new policy has not yet begun to be fully implemented, how can he break his promise?

Groaning slightly, the old Wuheng Prince Yinqi, who was the most enthusiastic about overseas feudals, decided to open the skylight and say bright words, he bowed a little on the pestle, and said: "Your Majesty, the most lacking thing in overseas feudal countries is slaves who are familiar with farming, and the minister heard that African black slaves and Mughal slaves will not be able to arrive in Luzon in June next year, so this batch of Japanese slaves is even more important."

The voyage to the Americas is long, and it takes more than half a year to make a round trip, and all kinds of preparations are also very cumbersome. ”

Seeing that Yinqi made his words clear, Zhenwu also restrained the smile on his face, and said slowly: "It is the trend of the times to increase the division of the Americas, but now is not the time to expand the division of the Americas. The losses on the first voyage to the Americas were quite large, as you know, and besides, the size of the feudal states in the Americas is now very small, and there are basically no slaves.

Without slaves, food will naturally not be able to keep up, and it is impossible to guarantee the rations of large-scale emigration, and the imperial brothers and nephews are eager to divide the overseas, and I know in my heart that this matter must be postponed for two years, and when this batch of Japanese slaves arrives in the Americas next year, they can provide sufficient food security, and large-scale immigration to the Americas is possible. ”

Hearing this, Yinzhi and Yinqi were both happy and annoyed, happy that Zhenwu finally made it clear that he would divide them into America, and to his chagrin was that he would have to wait for two years! Two years later, what has become of the feudal kingdoms in the Americas? There is no limit to the size of the territory of the feudal countries in the Americas, which is not a loss?

With a slight groan, Prince Heng Yinqi bowed and said: "The emperor is so compassionate, the ministers are inscribed within the five, and the scale is not good, can the ministers send two or three ships and horses to the front station?" ”

Seeing that Yinqi was so impatient, Zhenwu couldn't help but smile slightly, and instructed the outside world: "Take the Kunyu Wanguo Map." ”

Listening to Zhenwu's words, Bao Fuquan hurriedly led the two little eunuchs to bow in, unfolded the Kunyu Wanguo map, Zhenwu glanced at the four people, stood up and said, "Do you know why I want to send a navy to conquer West Africa and South Africa?" ”

Yinzhi and Yinqi couldn't help but be stunned when they heard it, could it be that the conquest of Africa was related to the partition of the Americas? Yinzhi hurriedly got up and bowed down and said: "The ministers are stupid, I beg the emperor to dial it." ”

Zhenwu nodded slightly, walked slowly to the map, and pointed to the area of South Africa in West Africa and said: "From here, it will take less than two months to go to the Americas, and the transportation of African slaves is also very convenient, and the central and northern parts of South America are all plains." ”

Yinzhi and Yinqi couldn't help but be stunned, and the old fourteen meant to divide them into this plain? They all had a dry mouth, and looked at the place of Zhenwu's finger in a daze, which was comparable to the entire southeastern provinces.

"As far as I know." Zhenwu pointed to the northern part of South America and said slowly: "Not far from the sea in the north is the continuous mountains, which land from the north and have very limited development, and land from the east to land on the flat river. ”

Hearing this, Yinzhi and Yinqi couldn't stand anymore, so they knelt down and kowtowed: "The emperor has a candle shining thousands of miles, and all the scholars and ministers respect the emperor's arrangement." ”

Zhenwu smiled slightly and turned back to the imperial case and sat down, seeing this situation, Bao Fu hurriedly retreated with the two little eunuchs, and secretly admired in his heart, this master is really omniscient, omniscient, even the terrain is clear, was thinking, but saw a little eunuch on duty hurriedly coming, to the front, he bowed down and whispered: "Yijun Wang Yinxiang, the minister of the study Zhang Pengxi, is out to see, saying that it is an urgent military matter. ”

Listening to urgent military affairs, Bao Fuquan couldn't help but be stunned, where did the emergency military affairs come from at this time? However, Yinxiang and Zhang Pengxi obviously didn't dare to speak, he was busy waiting outside the gate, listening to the movement inside, but listening to Zhenwu Kan said: "Although South America is good, it is close to Europe, not a terra nullius, and you must go through war to get this anointed land, of course, you can also do not." ”

To snatch from the Europeans by war? Yinzhi and Yinqi couldn't help but be a little confused, everyone is a borderless land, and it's our turn to have a master? Fighting, and fighting in such a distant place, it is not enough for them to fill in all their ideas and belongings, where is this separation, this is purely for their amusement.

Seeing that it was a crack, Bao Fuquan hurriedly bowed down and went in to report: "Your Majesty, Wang Yinxiang of Yijun and Zhang Pengxi, the minister of the upper study, handed over a sign to ask for a meeting, saying that it was an urgent military matter. ”

Urgent military affairs! Zhenwu immediately realized that there was news in Nanyang, and the pigeon messenger transmission had always been in charge of the old thirteen, and it seemed that there must be an abnormal situation, so he couldn't help but sink in his heart, and hurriedly ordered: "Let them in." ”

Hearing that it was an urgent military matter, Yinzhi and Yinqi couldn't help but be secretly happy, and just took the opportunity to retire to discuss, Yinzhi hurriedly got up and bowed and said: "The emperor is busy with government affairs, and the ministers will retire for the time being."
