In addition to Chen Ding, the faces of several cabinet elders present were full of red light, and they could be said to have known about this data for a long time.

I have to say that even when they learned this data, it was still a little unbelievable. In just a few years, with all the power of the imperial court, such an earth-shattering thing has been achieved.

Not to mention the others, the millions of people who have migrated out of the country alone have used manpower and material resources that are shocking just to think about.

In order to relocate these millions of people, the Ming court requisitioned as many as 10,000 ships and dispatched tens of thousands of ships back and forth.

That is, the Ming Dynasty has implemented the policy of opening the sea for nearly ten years, and between the opening of the sea in the past ten years, the Ming Dynasty has gone up and down, and I don't know how many people have gone out of the door and haunted overseas.

In this environment, the Ming Dynasty does not know how many large ships have been built, you must know that even in the case of the Ming Dynasty's ban on the sea, in order to maintain the existence of Caoyun, in the hands of the Caoyun Governor to operate the grain, there are enough ships required to penetrate the north-south artery.

Of course, most of these tens of thousands of ships under the control of the Governor of Caoyun are just small ships, and there are not many that can really be regarded as large ships.

But from this point alone, it can be seen how rich the foundation of the Ming Dynasty is, and when the Ming Dynasty opens the sea, the power that erupts can be imagined.

If this were to be replaced by other countries, there would never be such a background, such a mobilization ability, and only the Ming Dynasty could do this by virtue of its vast land and abundant population resources.

Of course, this is also Zhu Houzhao's power, otherwise, Zhu Houzhao's orders will not be implemented, even if he has good ideas, I am afraid it will be impossible to do this.

As the lord of the Ming Dynasty, the breath on Zhu Houzhao's body became more and more condensed, and the imperial aura of Zhu Houzhao set off by infinite majesty was extremely strong, and people who were waiting for him did not dare to look up at Zhu Houzhao under the pressure of Zhu Houzhao's momentum.

Listening to the data from Chen Ding, Zhu Hou looked at the world map in front of him, which clearly marked the vast area occupied by the Ming clan that had been divided.

From south to north, from east to west, it can be said that a vast land several times larger than the Ming Dynasty was divided by these vassal states.

As far as the eye can see, on the map of the world, almost more than a quarter of the territory has completely fallen under the control of the Ming Dynasty.

If this were to be done by other emperors, I am afraid that they would be complacent, and Mount Tai would sacrifice to the sky to show their supreme deeds.

But Zhu Houzhao's face was calm, and even a little disappointment flashed in his eyes.

What he saw was the entire map of the world, and on the map of the world, the territory occupied by the Ming Dynasty was not large, especially in the west, where there were many large and small countries, and the pace of expansion of the Ming Quartet was actually hindered in the west.

As the core of Western civilization, this region is home to many large and small countries, such as Portugal, Spain, England, Germany and other large and small states.

Yu Dayou, Yue Buqun and others are indeed a generation of heroes, with the strong combat power of the Ming fleet, on the sea several times with the fleets of Portugal, Spain and other countries repeatedly clashed, although every time they can win, the loss can not be underestimated.

After all, it is far away from the ocean, almost thousands of miles away from the Ming Dynasty, but any damage will not be effectively replenished because it is far away from the Ming Dynasty.

This is different for Western countries, because they are close to their country, so even if there is some loss, it can be effectively compensated.

It is precisely because of this that the footsteps of Yu Dayou and others were obviously blocked, although it is said that they have the right to take the initiative to attack, but it is an indisputable fact that they were stopped.

Although Yu Dayou can continue to move forward regardless of losses, but in this way, even if they can lay down more land, when they run out, won't the land they occupy lose again?

Yang Yiqing, Wang Yangming and others noticed the change in Zhu Houzhao's expression, and the excitement on his face gradually disappeared.

Fools can see that Zhu Houzhao is not complacent because of their achievements, but they are very excited one by one, and now it seems that their mental determination is much worse than that of the Son of Heaven.

In particular, Wang Yangming, who founded a university school, thought that he had already reached the point of not being shocked, but he didn't expect that when facing the opportunity to be famous through the ages, his concentration was still a little worse.

"Not enough!"

Just when Wang Yangming, Yang Yiqing and several people were fluctuating in their hearts, Zhu Houzhao suddenly sighed and said.

With a tremble in his heart, Wang Yangming and the others looked at Zhu Houzhao, even though they were faintly aware of Zhu Houzhao's thoughts, when they heard Zhu Houzhao's sigh at this time, they couldn't help but feel a storm in their hearts.

Chen Ding looked at Zhu Houzhao in amazement and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the minister has verified it several times, and there is no trace of falsehood, if Your Majesty does not believe it, you can send someone to supervise ......."

Thinking that what Zhu Houzhao said was not enough, he suspected that the data he counted was wrong, so Chen Ding reacted and said with a little sadness and indignation on his face.

Zhu Houzhao was slightly stunned, looking at Chen Ding's appearance of being greatly wronged, and when he reacted, he realized that his words made Chen Ding have other associations.

Coughing lightly, Zhu Hou looked at Chen Ding and said: "Chen Aiqing is thinking badly, I have never doubted the integrity of the Qing family, if I can't even trust the Qing family, I don't know who can take charge of the household department for me and take care of the money bag of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Saying that, Zhu Houzhao explained to a few people: "What I said is not enough, not because what you have done and what you have achieved in the past few years is not enough, but because I think that the territory occupied by the Ming Dynasty is not big enough."

While speaking, Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows and said: "Not long ago, I looked at the royal clansmen in the Daming Sect's mansion with clear records, and as of today, there are still about half of the royal clansmen in the Daming Dynasty who have not been separated from the Daming. I want the whole world to shine under the light of my great light. ”

As he spoke, a gleam flashed in Zhu Houzhao's eyes, and he pressed one hand on the dense kingdom and said, "This is it." ”

Yang Yiqing and Wang Yangming looked at each other, and at a glance they saw that what Zhu Houzhao was pressing on was the essence of the West.

After all, the Ming Dynasty has opened the sea for so many years, so the Ming Dynasty has a deep understanding of overseas places, and the most important of them is the area that Zhu Houzhao's hand presses, and in that area, there are at least a dozen large and small countries. The most important thing is that the strength of these countries themselves is not bad.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to go to war with these countries?"

Wang Yangming, as the secretary of the Ministry of War, has a clear understanding of the location of several overseas fleets, and the land of the West, the Ming fleet that is on the verge of this western essence is led by Yu Dayou, Yue Buqun and others.

Zhu Houzhao nodded slowly and said: "The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, in my opinion, if you ignore these foreign races, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not become a confidant in the future." ”

Looking at Zhu Houzhao at this time, Wang Yangming already understood Zhu Houzhao's ambition to swallow the world.

On the huge world map, there is a clear mark on the place where Zhu Houzhao slapped just now.

Glancing at each other, Wang Yangming smiled bitterly and said to the Son of Heaven: "Your Majesty, if you really want to capture and occupy the western land, I am afraid that without more than 100,000 troops to march west, it is impossible for Yu Dayou and their more than 100 ships to occupy and destroy so many countries, especially the national strength of these countries is not bad." ”

Zhu Houzhao's expression remained unchanged, and he said indifferently: "Then send more soldiers and horses to go, I don't believe that with my current strength of the Ming Dynasty, is it still better than a group of barbarians?" ”

Saying that, Zhu Houzhao pointed to the land of Nanyang and said: "Since all the land of Nanyang has fallen into the hands of my Ming Dynasty, then Dong Yichuan, who is sitting in Nanyang, will be transferred to the West to assist Yu Dayou, Yue Buqun and others in attacking Western countries. ”

Wang Yangming nodded solemnly and said: "Your Majesty, although rest assured, the ministers will raise everything as quickly as possible, just wait for Your Majesty's order, and the army will go out." ”

Zhu Houzhao laughed and said: "The ability of the Qing family, I have always trusted, this matter will be personally supervised by the Qing family, if there is any mistake, I will allow you to cut first and then play." ”

Knowing the ambition revealed by Zhu Houzhao, Yang Yiqing and the others can be said to be ashamed, and they are all high-spirited.

Even the Son of Heaven has the heart of swallowing the world, and they have never moved any idea of swallowing the world, not to mention how ashamed they are.

Yang Yiqing saluted Zhu Houzhao and said, "The ministers must do their best to share your majesty's worries." ”

The spirited Yang Yiqing, Wang Yangming and others left the Forbidden City, and Zhu Houzhao was left alone in the imperial study, and even Wang Zheng, who had been serving him, was sent by Chu Yi to send Yang Yiqing, Wang Yangming and others.

In the imperial study, Zhu Houzhao sat there, holding the altar in his hand, and a stream of information flowed, and the altar gathered as much as three or four million luck.

Holding the altar, the luck that ordinary people can't see at all is clear in Zhu Houzhao's eyes at this time, and the vast luck is like an ocean, with ups and downs.

"It's not enough, it's not enough, I need more, more great luck, the emperor road is soaring, even if there is no way forward, I have to open up a path."

Although Shao Yuanjie's concoction of the theory of the ascension of the imperial road touched Zhu Houzhao's heartstrings, Zhu Houzhao obviously could not believe it all, and even the road ahead needed Zhu Houzhao himself to open up.
