Jiajing Tianzi reorganized and strengthened the army, and the battle of Dushikou has fully reflected the combat effectiveness of the new army, and 5,000 foot soldiers can severely damage 50,000 elite iron cavalry, such a record can be called a myth.

Even in the era when Taizu had many famous generals, it is estimated that such a brilliant record is that Taizu may not dare to imagine.

The Ming Dynasty has such a strong army, it is only a matter of time before the grassland is completely defeated, but if Zhu Houwei wants to divide them into the grassland, then the kings are still unwilling.

It is true that the sky is high and the earth is wide, but there is grass as far as the eye can see, it is completely an uncivilized barbarian land, and natural disasters are continuous, even if there are no raging natural disasters, who wants to be a wild king who is with cattle and sheep all day long......

Now Daming has more than 100,000 new troops, and it will definitely expand to hundreds of thousands in the future, and even reorganize all the guards in the world.

The state has the support of three major taxes: salt tax, mining tax and commercial tax, and the treasury will no longer have financial worries.

Zhu Houwei already has the capital to expand the territory, so for any emperor who wants to become a generation of saints, it is imperative to expand the territory of the Ming Dynasty!

"Your Majesty, but you want to sail all over the world and fight overseas?" Hengwang Zhu Youyi asked.

"Why did Uncle Heng ask this?"

Zhu Youyi frowned and said: "Although the Mongolian steppe is unified under the conquest of the little prince, the real elite under the little prince's command is only fifty or sixty thousand.

According to the king's guess, as long as there is no major natural disaster on the grassland, forcing the little prince to be cornered, then the possibility of him raising troops to invade the south will not be too great.

At least not until it unifies the grassland, which means that the Battle of Dushikou has at least ten years of peace for the Ming Dynasty.

However, His Majesty has organized and trained the Shence Army, and the Shence Army has gone north to garrison the nine borders, which is enough to defend the entire northern border, so there is no need to expand the border army that spends a lot of money every year.

But His Majesty still reorganized the Tiance Army, in the eyes of this king, His Majesty first intends to reorganize the troops, and the other is to train hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to expand the territory.

In the view of this king, the expansion of the territory is nothing more than three directions, one is the grassland, the grassland is the great disaster of the Central Plains, if the Ming Dynasty can solve the problem of the grassland, stationed one or several strong troops on the grassland, then as long as the grassland garrison is not erosive, you can protect the northern border without worry.

If Your Majesty plans to divide the kings on the grassland, first of all, the kings may not be willing, and then the clan will inevitably have another turmoil, and secondly, even if the kings are willing to suppress the grassland, they must also have soldiers and horses, otherwise how can the kings survive in the vast grassland?

However, if the kings revert to the strength of the Taizu period, His Majesty may not be worried, but what about His Majesty's descendants?

The second direction is the southeast, the southeast countries are obedient to the Ming Dynasty on the surface, but do not submit to the Ming Dynasty for a long time, the Yongle period has raised troops to levy, and set up a political envoy to Jiaozhi, and then to Xuanzong when he rebelled, the rule of the Ming Dynasty over Jiaozhi has existed in name only.

Your Majesty is eloquent, if you want to raise troops, the southeast is a good choice, after all, the southeast land is fertile, the climate is excellent, and the grain can be ripened three times a year.

The third direction is overseas, such as the Wa Kingdom, but the sea is vast, the wind is high and the waves are urgent, and the Yuan court is not peaceful when it is very prosperous, and His Majesty wants to build a shipyard in Tianjin Weixing, presumably to create an invincible treasure ship when the Three Treasure Eunuchs went to the West.

Only with such an invincible treasure ship, the Ming Dynasty can expedition to the four seas and be invincible!

Moreover, the kings will be divided overseas, forever as the Ming Ping Domain, the kings will not refuse, and the royal family will not worry, because even if the kings are in turmoil, it will not threaten the foundation of the Ming Dynasty's rule in the Central Plains, even if the kings stand on their own, after all, it is also a branch of the Ming Dynasty...... According to the humble opinion of this king, he dared to guess that perhaps His Majesty was playing this abacus......"

Several vassal kings in the imperial study were dumbfounded, and Zhu Houwei also looked at Zhu Youyi with the eyes of rare species.

In Zhu Houwei's impression, at least seven out of ten vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty are first-class wastes, and Zhu Houyu, who entered the Forbidden City as a vassal king, cannot be counted, because if it weren't for Zhu Houyi's need to fight wits and courage with the minister when he sat in that position, this guy was just an ordinary vassal king who liked to ask for immortals.

I really didn't expect Zhu Youyi to have such insight!

What Zhu Youyi said was actually the grand blueprint that Zhu Houwei buried deep in his heart, which completely opened the curtain!

From the grassland to the garrison, the southeast, the Japanese state, and overseas ......

These are all in Zhu Houwei's imagination, and they are exactly the goals he intends to complete step by step!

Of course, the most important thing is the placement of the vassal king!

In the final analysis, Zhu Houwei's measures to deal with the vassal king can only be regarded as expedient.

Looking at the past and present, whether it is the Tui'en system of the Han Dynasty, or the powerless royal family system like the Tang Dynasty, or the strict control of the number of princes like the former Song Dynasty, or the policy of controlling the royal family around the imperial power like the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which is like surveillance, there are great drawbacks.

Of course, no matter how big the drawbacks are, they are not as nonsense as the Ming vassal system, and the Ming vassal system can be summed up in one sentence in Zhu Houwei's eyes.

Relying on the blessing of the ancestors, a large group of parasites was raised, and finally dozens of princes and hundreds of county kings were born......

If the Ming Dynasty can really continue for thousands of generations, it is estimated that it may not be enough to seal off all the land in the territory......

Indeed, Zhu Houwei definitely did not intend to divide the vassal king to the grassland, this matter is unreliable, it is not a matter of whether the vassal king himself is willing or not, under the absolute deterrence of the imperial power, the vassal king does not even have the right to refuse.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be what it is now......

There is only one reason why the vassal king does not divide the grassland, and that is that it is too close to the Ming Dynasty!

And the grassland is indeed too bitter, the vassal king has military power in his hands, can he still endure the bitter cold days on the grassland, it is impossible to think about it, then when they have strength in their hands, they will naturally breed ambition, and this ambition will be like a maggot attached to the bone, so that their eyes will irreversibly look at the Central Plains!

This is inconsistent with Zhu Houwei's original intention of treating the grasslands and borders, so there is no possibility of implementation.

Zhu Houwei's goal is overseas, taking advantage of the fact that the Age of Discovery has not yet begun, he wants to complete the ocean-going colonization, kill the native natives who occupy the fertile land, complete the colonial rule, and take root in the colony with the incomparably strong reproductive ability of the Chinese people, and then achieve complete domination!

Now there are three areas targeted by Zhu Houwei!

Americas, Australia and Canada!
