Zhou Lu said to the men: "I know that you like to conquer, you are afraid of the cold, and you want land. ”

Nobles, you look at me, I look at you, they don't speak, the winner is king, the loser is the villain, what they say is useless.

Zhou Lu continued: "It doesn't matter, I know where there is an excellent large piece of land, but now it is basically undeveloped, very backward, the land is vast and sparsely populated, but it is rich in gold and precious stones, the area is two or three times that of the Ming Dynasty, the scenery is magnificent, and the main thing is that it is not cold at all. ”

Zhou Lu used accents on "gold, precious stones" and "two or three times".

The eyes of the former Qing aristocracy lit up.

The place described by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was, for them, simply heaven.

But they don't understand, what does the Ming Emperor mean by saying this?

There was still no one to speak, but they all pricked up their ears and waited for the Ming Emperor to continue.

Zhou Lu glanced at them and said with a smile: "I won't kill you, I won't punish you, and I will send you to that place to develop." ”

There was an uproar!

It is unbelievable that the Ming Emperor would make such a ruling.

Wang Chengen, Wu Kun and other Ming soldiers didn't understand it a little, but they didn't say a word, because they believed that any decision made by the emperor was wise.

Da Yu'er was surprised, but just praised the Ming Emperor, saying that she was wise and benevolent, and she actually became so good?

The aristocratic class of the former Qing Dynasty suddenly exchanged their heads and ears, and they were overjoyed.

They can't believe that they don't have to die and can go to a heavenly place.

"Is Your Majesty serious?" A former Qing prince couldn't help but ask.

"You don't joke." Zhou Lu said simply and clearly, "You will definitely fall in love there." ”

"Your Majesty, I, shall we go too?" One Gege said timidly.

Zhou Lu shook his head: "You have other arrangements." ”

Thereafter.

Zhou Lu roughly divided the people of the former Qing Dynasty into two categories.

The first category is the female aristocratic class, including Da Yuer, as well as all ordinary commoners, who are sent to work in the Jiangnan National Workshop, or cross the sea to Taiwan for development.

Taiwan is strategically located, and it will develop into an extremely important overseas trade and sailor supply port in the future, so it is necessary to call more people to develop it in advance.

The second category is the male aristocracy, as well as all the captured Qing soldiers.

They are qualified to go to "heaven" for development.

The historical record says: "1644, the great wave of immigration".

Zheng He has been to the West seven times before and has explored the way.

To some extent, this can also be regarded as the eighth trip to the West by the Ming Dynasty.

To form an ocean-going fleet, you need to recruit a lot of suitable ships for remodeling, and recruit a large number of sailors and captains.

Zhou Lu promoted and reused one person.

Zheng Chenggong!

At this time, Zheng Chenggong was still a young man, with a small official position, his father Zheng Zhilong was born as a great pirate, and in the Ming Dynasty's maritime ban policy, he tenaciously grasped a maritime empire, and later returned to the imperial court.

The Zheng family has great experience and experience in sailing.

Zhou Lu hopes that in the Age of Discovery, Daming can get a piece of the pie, so Zheng Chenggong, who is good at navigation and has a strong commanding force, must be reused.

Most of the ocean-going ships are in Fujian, so they are called fortune ships.

More than a month later,

More than 1,000 large and small ocean-going ships, carrying hopes, carrying former Qing dynasty nobles and soldiers, as well as ceramics, tea and other goods, all the way to the Western Ocean.

The Ming Dynasty sent people to "heaven" to develop, and at the same time, they could also trade and make money.

Everyone was happy.

In the fleet, there is a saying: "Lucky ship, lucky ship, happy ship." ”

Former Qing nobles and soldiers are also singing.

It is worth mentioning that most of the warships in the ocean-going fleet are equipped with Huaxia naval guns that the Ming Emperor personally led the modification, and the sailors are equipped with enhanced firearms, which have an amazing range and lethality.

Pirates and European fleets can hear some news, and the super large fleet of more than 1,000 ships also makes them dare not act rashly.

The Huaxia fleet successfully arrived on the "Somali Peninsula" in Africa.

It is a commercial transit port called "Mogadishu".

The fleet dropped the former Qing nobles and soldiers, unloaded the goods, and traded with the locals.

Then, the ship was loaded with gold, silver, spices and other goods, and Yang set sail to return home.

At the beginning, the former Qing nobles and soldiers were very happy, happy, the Ming Emperor was true, indeed rich in gold, silver and gemstones, but also the climate is not cold, the land is sparsely populated, a group of local aborigines, and even live a primitive life, unclothed, too backward.

It's just that they don't understand the local indigenous language, and the local indigenous people look at them a little weirdly.

A week later, they were speechless and asked the heavens, and many of them cried.

It's not cold at all, but it's so hot.

The sun is very scorching, and the skin tans at once.

What's more, they were sold to several local chiefs to do hard labor in the mines.

Co-authoring them, like ceramics and tea, is also goods.

They wanted to resist, but they didn't have weapons, and although the local natives were backward, they had knives in their hands and firecrackers they bought from the Ming Dynasty, and they were unfamiliar with the place.

And no matter what, Daming made a lot of money.

No wonder, I didn't see how many goods were carried down from the ship, but they were able to carry away a lot of gold, silver, ivory, cotton and other goods, and the Ming fleet was almost fully loaded.

was miserable by the Ming Emperor!

Since then, these more than 50,000 people who love violent killing have come to the more savage and vast African continent to start their new lives.

There's also the problem, they're all men, and they're all surrounded by African women with black charcoal, and if they want to reproduce, ......

This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.

His gaze turned back to Daming.

Zhou Lu really wanted to go back to save Sikong Feiyan, but he didn't know what to do to go back.

So he is committed to revitalizing the Ming Dynasty, and he has done the hidden task first.

At the same time, he is also making some arrangements for himself to leave.

It can't be said that it was not easy to revitalize Daming, and it was a mess after leaving.

In addition to developing handicrafts and technology, making efforts to strengthen firearms, and building a fleet of awesome sailors, institutional changes are imperative.

Zhou Lu doesn't understand the national system, but he hasn't eaten pork, which doesn't mean that he hasn't seen a pig Zhou Lu, and he has the help of the memory bank of "a glimpse of thousands of years".

He introduced a constitutional monarchy and inaugurated a cabinet parliamentary system.

In the absence of the emperor, major military and government affairs in the country will be decided by the parliament and the cabinet by voting.

And the cabinet members must be both civil and military, who can only dance and write, and cannot lead troops to fight, or who can only fight wars, and cannot enter the cabinet.

Enhance the function of the brocade guard, not only responsible for patrolling places, listening, and tracking down officials, but also sent to Europe and other places to listen to news, secrets, etc., equivalent to agents in later generations.

A series of drastic reforms are staggering, but no one dares to obstruct them.

Because the Ming Emperor invented a better way for the obstructors than to copy and behead them - send them to Africa.

For example, there are a group of big profiteers and big landowners in eastern Zhejiang, because they have affected their interests, secretly obstructed the development of national large workshops, and after being found by Jinyiwei, all of them were confiscated and imprisoned, and when the ocean-going fleet led by Zheng Chenggong went to the West to trade again, they were sent to Africa for mining.

And all their wealth was taken into the treasury, and the land was nationalized, or distributed among the poor.

In this way, no one dares to touch the mold again.

Zhou Lu vigorously and resolutely carried out a change, and the policy was quickly implemented.

The country is stable, thriving, and thriving.

With a cabinet and a parliament, the Ming Dynasty could continue to develop and function normally even if the emperor was absent for a long time.

It didn't take long for Emperor Daming to be out of the palace.

The Ming Dynasty has come to an end for the time being, and the next chapter will return to the original era, but this is not an ordinary crossing, you can't guess, the answer is in the next chapter~
