Yang Wei's main thing he wants to know is the geography of the Americas. Since he took charge of the Department of Strategy at Mubei University, he has a certain amount of knowledge about the history and current situation of various countries, which makes his life easy and enjoyable, as if he fulfilled the expectations of his childhood, enjoying a quiet clerical job, and at the same time a high pension beckons to him.

On the other hand, Yang Wei also shouldered a heavy burden. After several deductions, he believed that the Ming Dynasty would always have a conflict with Europe, which was by no means what many scholars believed: the Ming Dynasty would join forces with Yahweh Europe and move towards the Datong world.

"The Europeans have never had faith. A civilization that wants to kiss to check whether his wife has secretly drunk fruit wine is destined not to trust Daming. And it is just around the corner that they will betray the trust of the Ming Dynasty, as long as they can get benefits. Yang Wei came to this conclusion on the basis of the anecdote brought back by Zhu Yujian, the king of Tang, and it cannot be regarded as a history of faith, but Judas's betrayal of Jesus because of thirty silver coins is a history of faith, which is enough to corroborate it.

Zhu Cihong does not support the reasoning process, but supports Yang Wei's conclusions.

In the seventeenth century in the original script, the whole earth except for the Ming Dynasty was hanging.

First of all, Li Chuang escaped death several times like a thief, and fought back with blood. Then the Manchurians stole the entire Chixian Shenzhou. Although the Europeans who were far away in Tessie did not get a piece of the pie, they themselves also opened their golden thighs on the technology tree, and geniuses came to the world one after another, bursting out with leapfrog results.

After the birth of Zhu Cihong, the Ming Dynasty finally filled the gap in cheating, but Europe is still developing rapidly, and from the current germination, it is bound to enter the era of science and technology with coal and iron resources. In this way, the Ming and Europe will eventually form a confrontation situation in the distribution of natural resources, unless the Europeans are willing to accept the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

In addition to resources, the ideological fanaticism of Europeans was also destined to fail to coexist with the Ming Dynasty.

They are hostile to ideas that are not their own mainstream. This can be seen in their wars with the Arabs, the burning of heretics, and the prohibition of state religions such as tomorrow and Japan from worshipping their ancestors. This kind of ideological cleanliness has only appeared in China with Legalism, and the attitude of Chinese civilization towards it can also be seen from the ending of Legalism.

After establishing Tessie as a potential enemy, Da Ming of course also took precautions.

First of all, according to the restrictions of the priests and doctors, they will be reviewed according to the list. For the sensitive military department, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Officials. It is also necessary to conduct background checks on relevant officials, and even close contacts with priests and doctors will be excluded.

The second is strategic deployment, which is the main purpose of Yang Wei's visit: to extract the final perceptual experience of the American base plan.

"If the Spaniards occupy the Americas, it will not be safe for us to go from the Jingwang Strait to Japan, the Ryukyus, and even Australia." Yang Wei said.

It was the first time that Zhu Hezhi had received such ideological indoctrination. When he went to Europe before, Daming was still "good friends" with Europe. Both the European aristocracy and the Ming magnates all had a good impression of each other. At this moment, it is quite unsuitable to get such a subversive cognition.

"Again. If we occupy the Americas, we will have a two-sided grip on Tessie Europe. Yang Wei drew a circle in the air: "Ally with the Ottomans to threaten the eastern part of Europa from the land, and use the Americas as a base to threaten its western part from the sea." The Tessians were destined to huddle in their own land. ”

"The Ottomans are all villains, is it reliable to form an alliance with them?" Zhu Hezhi disagreed.

"It's hard to say." Yang Wei said lightly: "But they are less of a threat to us. And because they have a blood feud with the Europeans, but not with us. What's more, we still have the goods that the Ottomans need. Your Royal Highness King Jing, you have personally been to the Americas. Can the local Spaniards be trusted? ”

Zhu Hezhi was silent.

Zhu Cihong saw something unusual in this silence, and instantly thought of the inhumane genocidal policy carried out by the Spaniards in the Americas.

Back in the XVI century. The Spanish government and the Catholic Church joined forces to carry out a systematic genocide of Native Americans, including the infamous "smallpox blanket". In Zhu's unreliable memory, millions of indigenous people died in massacres, and many ancient civilizations on the American continent, such as the Aztecs and the Incas, were completely annihilated.

"The Tessi are extremely harsh on the local natives. Anyone who is found to worship the totem of their ancestors will be divided by capital punishment. Zhu Hezhi couldn't bear it: "The minister did not stop it out of the idea of respecting the local governing power." ”

"Actually, His Highness can't stop it." Yang Wei sighed and said, "The number obtained from the Tang King shows that there are at least 300,000 Spaniards in the Americas. The decline of the country also stems from the fact that most of its citizens have traveled far and wide to live in its so-called New Spain. ”

Zhu Hezhi was slightly shocked. He didn't feel like he had seen too many Spaniards. But considering that by this time the Spaniards had established four viceroyalties in the Americas, occupying almost half of South America, as well as the west coast of North America, the population of each place was indeed not very large.

"Your Majesty, if you want to go to war in the ocean...... Zhu Hezhi's lips trembled a little: "I'm afraid I can't do it." ”

He had personally been to the Americas, and knew that it would take at least 50,000 to 60,000 elites to wage war with hundreds of thousands of Tessians. It is impossible for such a large number of soldiers to fly across the Pacific Ocean and appear on the coast of the Americas.

"It is impossible for Daming to make such a decision at present." Zhu Cihong shook his head and said.

Sweeping the vast land from Kashgar to the Great Khing'an Mountains is what Geldan has done in history, so Zhu Cihong is confident that he can do the opposite. But from Daming to the Americas, it has far exceeded today's productivity support.

"Lieutenant Colonel Yang has a plan, I think it is feasible, I want to hear your opinion." Zhu Cihong said.

Zhu Hezhi looked at Yang Wei and felt that the hard bristles on his upper lip were a little piercing.

- It's too young to be believed.

Zhu Hezhi said secretly in his heart.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness." Yang Wei bowed slightly, and then said: "The plan made by Weichen will be implemented from three aspects: force, commerce, and reclamation. force, i.e., the establishment of military forts in the Americas to ensure the smooth passage of ports and shipping lanes; Commerce was to make the Spaniards accept the intervention of the Ming Dynasty and make it less hostile; Cantonment was used as a resettlement as well as for combat support.

"After these three aspects have been implemented, the local natives who are hostile to the Westerners are contained, and they are provided with weapons and training, so that they can stand on the front line against the Europeans, then our dynasty naturally does not need to send a large number of elites to fight in the Americas. They are eager to recover their ground, and they will certainly not passively avoid war.

"When the natives and the Taisi have reached a certain level, the strength of our dynasty in the Americas should be enough to defend the land of the Son of Heaven. The specific plan is more detailed, including the materials needed and the list, which Wechen will deliver later. Yang Wei concluded.

Zhu Hezhi nodded, his eyes showed firmness, and said, "Your Majesty, if you have to launch a large army to the Americas. It can be reached by land...... Jingwang Strait ......" His face turned red, this name was given by the emperor to commend Zhu Hezhi for his exploration of the unknown world.

"There is only ...... from the Strait to Cape Citz in the Americas"

Zhu Cihong smiled and shook his head, making Zhu Hezhi unable to speak.

From Western Siberia to Alaska, it's a good idea just to look at the map. In fact, even 500 years later, there is not even a decent city in Western Siberia, so you can imagine how difficult it is to travel overland to the Americas today.

"The national strategy is not a day or two to see the effect, this work is in the present generation, the benefit is in the future, it is worth our generation to spend a lifetime to do." Zhu Cihong sighed and said: "The so-called foolish man in "Liezi" is my generation! ”

Zhu Hezhi bowed deeply and said: "Your Majesty's vision of thousands of miles is really a blessing in the world. ”

Yang Weiqiang endured the surprise in his heart, and couldn't help but slander: This officialdom is really difficult to mix, and such fleshy words have to be said casually! Fortunately, I just need to do a job that is worthy of my salary...... Why, why do I can't help but praise the Holy One in my heart?

Zhu Cihong took the second son's hand, walked to the railing, raised his left hand and said, "Do you see this sea?" ”

"See, Father." The six-year-old second son nodded emphatically: "It's all mine!" ”

Zhu Cihong almost choked on saliva.

Originally, he just wanted to say: a man's heart should be as vast as the sea...... That's all.

"Whether it's Taisi or Japanese, whoever dares to rob my family's things, I will lead troops to beat him for my father!" Zhu Heqi said seriously, trying to wave his little hand, but accidentally kicked the guardrail hard, so he had to force his lips to cry and try not to cry.

"I'll talk about it when you're done." Zhu Cihong gently touched his son's head and said softly.

Zhu Heqi took his father's hand and secretly wiped his tears on his sleeves.

Yang Wei thought of his late father and couldn't help but envy in his heart.

Zhu Cihong suddenly turned his head and said, "Hezhi, this time King Tang also came back with news, and King Christina of Sweden has abdicated." Just the year before, at the beginning of June in the Yahri calendar. ”

Zhu Hezhi was obviously a little stunned, and said, "She...... Are you okay? Zhu Hezhi, who has experienced the pain of losing his country, knows very well what the loss of the country will be.

"She gave up the throne to her cousin Karl." Zhu Cihong said: "I traveled around the Taixi countries, and then settled in Rome. It is said that there is nothing bad about it except for being in debt. ”

Zhu Hezhi finally put his mind at ease and said: "The Jehoist sect she believes in is different from the Jehoist sect that the powerful people of her country believe in, and it is indeed difficult to persevere. ”

Zhu Cihong raised his chin towards Yang Wei.

Yang Wei understood, cleared his throat and said, "Your Highness, religious belief is only one of them. Moreover, during the 10th year of the reign of the Crown, Sweden had 17 counts, 46 barons, and 428 lords, and had to pay millions of dollars as salaries. "Taking people as a mirror can know the gains and losses, and Taixi and Daming can also learn from each other in a certain way.

Zhu Hezhi knew the meaning of the song when he heard it, and said: "The lieutenant colonel's words are very incisive. ”

Now that King Jing is about to serve as the direct executor of the Ming Dynasty in the Americas, holding military and political power, Zhu Cihong naturally wants to warn him to "forget the past and face the future".

Of course, Zhu Hezhi will not keep this grudge to this day because he was not allowed to attack the seal before. (To be continued......)
