Ninety percent of the Indians in the Americas died in history, of course Chen Dexing knows. This bacteria and virus kills people, sometimes much more powerful than a white knife entering and a red knife coming out! Although Chen Dexing was relatively kind in this era, he did not have much to do to prevent the outbreak of the plague.

In fact, he didn't have the ability to do it, he was just a seaman in his previous life. I only know some basic hygiene and epidemic prevention knowledge, that is, how to isolate, how to disinfect, how to bandage wounds, how to take care of the injured and sick, how to give first aid, and so on. These are all things he learned when he was studying at the Maritime Academy, and now he has written these things into books and used them as teaching materials for the Tiandao Academy and the Army and Navy Military Academies.

In addition, some military medical and epidemic prevention systems, which were already very advanced in this era, were also gradually implemented in the Ming army. The army and navy of the Ming army now have quite professional medical officers and medical teams -- they are not ordinary Langzhong, who do not know how to take the pulse and prescribe prescriptions, but can only treat wounds and prevent infectious diseases.

Some of the best medical officers were also selected to form the Heavenly Dao Academy Medical Academy, which was engaged in various medical research in addition to teaching. One of the key points is the study of various infectious diseases, after the Mingzhou Indians in Zhoushan were collectively infected, the Mingdu Tiandao Academy Medical Institute immediately sent many doctors to the south to conduct research. In the end, it turned out that it was just a cold. And the fact that a mere cold would knock down so many young adults surprised the doctors of the Heavenly Dao Academy.

After some research, the report that the Indians were weak and very susceptible to diseases was immediately sent to Chen Dexing's desk......

Chen Dexing, of course, knows that the analysis in this report is complete nonsense. The health of the Indian people is not bad, but the Mingzhou continent is too "clean". There weren't as many terrible viruses and bacteria as the Old World, so the Indians had little resistance to many of the Old World viruses and bacteria.

Now the Old World has discovered the New World. In addition, huge amounts of gold and silver were found in the New World. In the years imaginable, there will be massive numbers of immigrants who will be flocking there, bringing with them all sorts of terrible viruses and bacteria.

The destruction of the Indians was inevitable! And what Chen Dexing has to consider now is only how to use this catastrophe to further establish the dominance of the Heavenly Daoist Sect in Mingzhou.

However, there is no need to talk to Chen Huaiqing about this kind of plan. Because Mingzhou has nothing to do with Chen Huaiqing, the future of the place is unlimited, and now there is only endless desolation, and only a few territories have civilizations, and they are all very weak. It's easy to deal with.

This means that the conquest of Mingzhou is very easy and does not require too much force. Historically, Spain and Portugal, the first to conquer the Americas, were small countries that were not ranked in Europe - neither country was a great power before the discovery of the New World, especially Spain, and even the few small wrecked ships that Columbus used to explore the New World were put together with great effort. Queen Isabella I of Spain sold one of her crowns for this purpose.

Chen Dexing's Ming Empire is too much stronger than the "two teeth" in Europe! Therefore, there is no difficulty in conquering Mingzhou.

Therefore, this continent, which can almost be regarded as the "chosen country", Chen Dexing is ready to leave to his sons and heroes - none of them have strong forces, and they need the support of the Ming court to build a country overseas. Therefore, it is not advisable to go to a place with a strong civilization.

Moreover, the land of Mingzhou is too fat, and in the foreseeable future, it will definitely have a considerable population. It may even surpass the Ming Dynasty! Therefore, it is unrealistic to let the Ming Dynasty directly govern the entire Ming Dynasty, and it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to manage so many people across the Pacific Ocean, so it is the most ideal choice to divide it to his son and meritorious heroes.

Of course. The Ming Empire will still have several important satrapy districts on the Mingzhou Continent as the Empire's big stronghold in Mingzhou.

And to the south of the Nanfan Islands is another piece of land that is vast. Oceania, a continent rich in resources but not suitable for farming and animal husbandry, is barren land. The rainfall is irregular, and it cannot be compared with Mingzhou at all), because it cannot feed too many people (without the help of modern agricultural technology, Australia can carry a population of millions), and it is completely incapable of resisting the Ming Empire. Therefore, it will serve as a satrapy and become the backyard of the Ming Empire, where the abundant key resources such as coal, iron, and uranium will serve the continued development and strength of the Ming Empire in the distant future.

And an old fox like Chen Huaiqing, who has strategy, strength, and skill, will of course be sent to conquer the more developed, wealthy, and difficult territories.

Chen Dexing gently turned the tea cup in his hand and diverted the topic away from infectious diseases.

"My lord, Jiangnan has been largely pacified now. Lin'er also sent news from Hongdu that Zhao Yun had promised to come to the elderly for the elderly. In this way, the six provinces of Jiangxi, Jiangdong, western Zhejiang, eastern Zhejiang, Fujian, and Huaidong will soon be stable. The three provinces of Guangdong, Guangxi, and Hunan should be governed by the Ming court in a few months. ”

Chen Dexing's demarcation of the southern provinces roughly followed the "road" of the Song Dynasty. All the way is a province, so there are Jiangdong Province, Zhejiang West Province, Zhejiang East Province, Huaidong Province and other provinces that did not exist in later generations.

According to the plan formulated by the Ming Cabinet and the Fourth Military Department after discussion. The territory that originally belonged to the Song Kingdom, including the territory of the feudal towns, was divided into 13 provinces, including Fujian, Liangjiang, Liangzhejiang, Lianghuai, Lianghu (Jingxi Road and Jinghu North Road would be merged into Hubei Province), Sichuan (Dongchuan Province with Chongqing as the center, Xichuan Province with Chengdu as the center, Beichuan Province with Hanzhong as the center, and Nanchuan Province with Zunyi as the center).

In addition, the Ming Dynasty will also implement the north and south two Beijing system, will Yanjing Mansion as Beijing, Yangzhou and Zhenjiang Mansion merge into Nanjing, the official name is Jiangdu Mansion - Nanjing is going to move! However, considering many factors such as topography, economy and popular support, Jiangdu Mansion is indeed more suitable than Jiankang Mansion to become Nanjing of the Chen Ming Empire.

First, Jiangdu Mansion is located at the confluence of the Grand Canal and the Yangtze River, and is also very close to the mouth of the Yangtze River. During the Tang Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty, it was the economic center of the southeast. In the later Ming and Qing dynasties, it rose again because of the two affairs of salt and water. If Chen Dexing is willing to invest a certain amount of financial and material resources to develop Jiangdu Fu, it is entirely possible to turn it into the economic center of the southeast region and even the entire Ming Dynasty.

Second, Jiangdu Prefecture belongs to the junction of Jiangnan and Huaidi. Chen Dexing's military group was part of the two Huai armies of the Southern Song Dynasty. Among the middle and senior officers of today's Ming army, the proportion of Huai people is very high, and Chen Dexing's own hometown is also in Anfeng, Huaixi. After Chen Dexing took Jiangdu as Nanjing, he could also use Tiandao tickets to acquire land in Lianghuai (most of them belonged to Lianghuai Jiangmen, and Chen Dexing, Chen Huaiqing, father and son also had a lot of land in Lianghuai), and then distributed it to the officers and sergeants from Huaidi, which could naturally form a military aristocratic group that guarded the Ming court.

With these two reasons, Jiangdu Mansion naturally replaced Jiankang Mansion as the imperial capital of Nanjing, which ruled Jiangnan by the Chen Ming Empire.

However, the construction of Jiangdu Mansion is not overnight, and before the construction of Jiangdu is completed, Chen Dexing will also use Lin'an as the capital to govern the land south of the Yangtze River.

In Chen Dexing's view, the key to governing Jiangnan is nothing more than the three points of "moving the righteous gate, sealing the military households, and revitalizing the industry and commerce".

Only by dismantling and relocating the Yimen of the imperial examination that had ruled Jiangnan for 300 years, and at the same time distributing their land to the scholars and military households who supported Chen Ming, could the stability of Jiangnan be guaranteed, and the Jiangnan tenants who had been fixed on the land by the Yimen could gain freedom - the freedom to starve to death, freeze to death, and be displaced! But this is the only way for the small-scale peasant economy to move towards capitalism! Capitalism is, of course, evil, murderous, greedy, and the advent of the capitalist era is not a good thing for the tenants......

And our treacherous and cunning Chen Huaiqing is the key to the "relocation gate" policy.

Chen Dexing said lightly: "The provinces of Jiangnan have always been governed by the Song lord and the scholars, Jiangnan wants to be stable for a long time, and those children of the scholars and wealthy families should leave as soon as possible!" ”

Chen Huaiqing sighed lightly, his opinion was actually the opposite of Chen Dexing-with these wealthy families, Jiangnan would be stable. And letting the children of these wealthy families abandon martial arts and follow literature, and spend a lifetime in the classics of articles, is the trick of governing the world...... It's a pity that such a good method can't be used in Huaxia, and can only be used to stabilize Tianzhu.

When we arrive in Tianzhu, we must carry out the imperial examination, at least popularize Confucianism among people of some higher caste, and carry out the imperial examination to select scholars -- if you want to become an official, you must read Confucius and Mencius, and take the imperial examination! At the same time, of course, Buddhism should be greatly developed. As long as the superior people of Tianzhu have become Confucian scholars, and the inferior people have believed in the Buddha, how can Tianzhu be unstable?

"The old minister will start the Tianzhu expedition as soon as possible." Thinking of this, Chen Huaiqing stroked his beard and said.

"Don't be in such a hurry," Chen Dexing waved his hand, "Tianzhu is a big country and far away, so it must be fought steadily and steadily, not in a hurry." ”

He paused for a moment, and then said: "To conquer Tianzhu, you must take the sea route and go west from Malacca." It had to find a foothold near Malacca, and it had to be fertile and fertile land in order to supply food for so many people. The opinion of the Nanyang Fleet is to seize the island of Java first, and then use Java as a springboard to conquer Tianzhu in the west! ”

The island of Java is probably the most fertile in the world, on a par with Egypt's Nile Delta.

"Take Java first?" Chen Huaiqing knew where Java was, and he thought about it and asked, "Who will Java give to after it is taken down?" ”

Chen Dexing smiled, this question should be asked to the warlords from all walks of life in the north and south who want to go. As soon as he wanted to speak, Yang Po'er walked in with a happy face again, and bowed to Chen Dexing, "Congratulations to the saint, news has come from Mobei, Concubine Ming Niangniang has arrived at Helin with Haidu Khan, Haidu Khan has converted to Heavenly Taoism, and he also led his troops to seize Helin, the capital of Great Mongolia!"
