In the study, a huge map of the world was plastered to the wall, and there were no meandering rivers or rolling mountains, only land and an expanse of ocean rendered blue.

In addition to this, there are pennants, which are some red, some pink, and some white......

The territory of the Ming Dynasty is divided into small pieces, and on top of these small pieces are small red flags, which means the land of China!

The fifteen small red flags include two Beijings, namely the South Zhili and the North Zhili, as well as twelve provinces, namely Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Huguang, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and Fujian, and the last bright red flag is planted in the position of Mongolia.

There is no Guizhou, no Qinghai, and no Tibet!

In Zhu Houwei's view, the Tusi power in Guizhou far exceeds that of the Ming Dynasty, saying that Guizhou is one of the Ming provinces, but in fact, it has long been divided into independent small kingdoms by the major Tusi melons.

Therefore, for Zhu Houwei, who is pragmatic and not pragmatic, the nominal land cannot be regarded as the territory actually controlled by the Ming Dynasty, and naturally the red flag cannot be planted, and the pink flag can only be planted if the red flag is not planted!

But now Zhu Houwei took down the small pink flag on the boundary of Guizhou, and sucked up a small red flag very carefully!

Now for the three major toasts in Guizhou, leaving Guizhou and going to Tianzhu to seize the territory is the only way out, otherwise Zhu Houwei doesn't mind killing all the toasts and returning Guizhou to a bright future.

However, since the three major toasts know current affairs, they are naturally different.

The Ming Dynasty has two capitals and thirteen provinces, and until this moment it can be regarded as the real two capitals and thirteen provinces!

Subsequently, Zhu Houwei took down the pink flag on the border of Qinghai and replaced it with a red flag.

Qinghai is called Xifan in Daming, stationed in the Guanxi Eight Guards, but in fact, the Guanxi Eight Guards have long existed in name only, in the Western Fan territory, the Ming Dynasty has no officials, no army, where is the actual control!

But now it is different, a few months ago, when Wang Shouren led the army to the Western Regions, there was an army of 10,000 people leaving the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, and the task of this army was to go to the west that had been renamed Qinghai by Zhu Houwei, and this army would be stationed in Qinghai to eliminate all the unsubordinate forces in Qinghai, and establish the Qinghai Military Region, at the same time there were more than 500 Confucian scholars and new scholars to go together.

These scholars will become officials in the prefectures and counties of Qinghai Province in the Ming Dynasty, at least they can set up the framework of the government first, and from then on, Qinghai will completely become the absolute ruling area of the Ming Dynasty.

Red flags were planted in the regions of the two capitals and thirteen provinces, Mongolia and Qinghai, as well as Portugal, Spain and France in Western Europe, as for the pink flags......

There are so many more pink flags than red flags......

Britain, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Poland in later Western Europe......

There are fifty states in the Americas and Canada, but these two maps plus the map of Europe are definitely not very accurate, to put it bluntly, it means that these places where the pink flag is planted, he Zhu Houwei has taken a fancy to it, and he will plant the red flag in the future!

Then there are Australia and the southeastern countries, North Korea, and Xinjiang......

There are more white flags, the African section, Siberia, Tianzhu and other places are all white flags, white means no levy, at least in the Jiajing Dynasty, Zhu Houwei has no interest in reaching out to these places, not because he doesn't want to, but because it's unrealistic.

If we only talk about conquest, Zhu Houwei believes that with the current military strength of the Ming Dynasty, if we learn from the Mongols at the beginning, and do not conquer for the purpose of occupation, he can fight all over the world.

But there is no point......

What he wants is colonization, and the most important thing in colonization is the people, there are not enough people, talk about fart colonization!

With the current population base of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houwei knows that at least 50 million or 60 million people must be guaranteed in the territory under the actual control of the Ming Dynasty! That's the bottom line!

In other words, he can colonize hundreds of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty at most, and this may take twenty or thirty years or even longer......

Zhu Houwei stood in front of the map in a daze, his gaze moved from the Western Regions to Wusizang, and then from Wusizang back to the Western Regions, and then back, over and over again......

Now there are still two pink flags on these two huge territories, which look extremely dazzling.

"Your Majesty...... Several Speakers arrived. ”

"Let them in." Zhu Houwei took his gaze back from the map, kneaded the tip of his nose, and then sat back on the throne.

"Ministers......"

Excuse me, give the seat. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"How's the affairs of the Usi-Tibetan Empire?" Zhu Houwei was too lazy to talk nonsense, so he went straight to the point.

"Back to Your Majesty." Yang Yiqing got up and said: "According to Your Majesty's wishes, we have set up a religious office in Uszang to manage religious affairs, sent troops to maintain public order in Uszang, and sent officials to manage local civil affairs.

"Where's the progress?"

"Back to Your Majesty, after the parliament drafted the statutes, it sent officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to Wusizang, and summoned more than a dozen living Buddhas in Wusizang, after discussion, the living Buddhas believe that Wusizang is the land of the Ming Dynasty, and they are Buddhist believers, and they are also the people of the Ming Dynasty, so there is no conflict with the major political measures of the Ming Dynasty, but I hope that the local officials of the Ming Dynasty will not interfere with the normal teaching affairs of the temples......"

Zhu Houwei nodded and said: "If the temples and sects have different philosophies, there will be disputes, and the existence of religious offices is to mediate disputes, so as not to break out sectarian conflicts, as for the normal religious affairs of the temples, the imperial court will naturally not interfere."

Yang Yiqing said: "It's just that the religious affairs office plays a ruling-in role, and if you appoint court officials, they don't know about religious affairs and don't know the Dharma, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make a decision."

Zhu Houwei said with a smile: "This is simple, you can appoint a third-grade official to go to the Wusizang general office to take charge of all affairs, and let each Buddhist temple send one or two, credible senior monks resident office, as a referee, once there is a religious dispute, the resident monk will discuss or vote for adjudication."

"Obey the order!"

"In addition, the duties of the officials sent to Tibet are to deal with local civil affairs, collect local taxes, and judge prisons, but they must not interfere in any religious disputes.

Yang Yiqing nodded yes, but he couldn't help but feel a little emotional, it is certain that Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty hated monks and did not like Taoism, just by ordering the demolition of a large number of Buddhist temples, ordering monks who did not have a degree to return to the world, and levying taxes on the temple, it can be seen that Emperor Jiajing's attitude towards Buddhism.

However, Wusizang is also a place of belief in Buddhism, Buddhist temples are even more forested, and Tibetan believers are everywhere, but why would Emperor Jiajing be so tolerant of the Buddhism of Wusizang?

Moreover, the relevant favorable policies specifically for the Wusi Tibetan Buddhist Gate were introduced, which made the courtiers puzzled......
