At this moment, in the palace of the capital, Zhu Youzhen and a group of officials are discussing in the Dongnuan Pavilion, and all the officials present are the officials who have been valued by Zhu Youzhen since he ascended the throne.

Even Xie Zihua was dragged back by Zhu Youzhen on the way back to Beijing to report on his work, and the purpose was only two words, discuss!

And the purpose of the deliberations is also only two words, interests!

"This time the Dutch and the British are competing against each other, and I feel that although it will have a certain impact on the current trade of the Ming Dynasty, the impact is not unacceptable to us!"

"Xie Zihua, I specially got you back this time... You've also read the information, tell me what you think. ”

Xie Zihua, who was like kicking a ball by Zhu Youzhen, finally figured out the Supply and Marketing Bureau, but went to Dongfan Island overnight, appeared in Dongnuan Pavilion again.

The changes in the wind and clouds made Xie Zihua feel that there was some unreal feeling.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the minister thought that although the Dutch were gone. But for the Ming Dynasty, it is a real good thing, just to use this war to control more places in the South Seas! By the way, complete the immigration plan to be completed this year! ”

Hearing Xie Zihua's point of view, it was Xu Guangqi who was the first to nod and feel that it made sense.

This is now obsessed with the secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture.

Now just hear that it is good for overseas immigrants.

As long as it is reasonable, it must be supported.

So Xu Guangqi continued: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's the same, isn't the Dutch just letting Nanyang out to the Ming Dynasty?" So how can there be a reason not to take it..."

Zhu Youzhen was also amused by Xu Guangqi's words, and only heard him say: "Xu Aiqing! You're thinking about immigration all day, and as long as it's beneficial, you agree, right? ”

"Your Majesty . . . Don't say it, it's true! This year's spring planting season is just around the corner, and we have set up a large number of drought relief points in various northern provinces, prefectures and counties, and as soon as the resettlement program begins, we can immediately mobilize it! ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded, this winter, the entire Ming Dynasty was almost idle, and they were all preparing for the immigration plan after the arrival of this spring.

"Over the next year, I felt that we had to do everything we could to expand our productivity and take over as many areas as we could, without having complete control... But be sure to leave the proof! ”

These words made many ministers present hear them a little foggy.

Even Liao Siwei, who was sitting on the side of the Daming Guangdong Naval Division, didn't understand, and couldn't help but speak: "Your Majesty, the ministers are really stupid, what does it mean to leave evidence?" ”

"There are many small countries in Annam, and many of them are still primitive tribal ecosystems, that is, indigenous peoples... In the future, most of these places will be the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and we need a suitable reason to prove that this land once belonged to the Ming Dynasty! ”

Hiss.. This is how it is explained.

Everyone understood the meaning of Zhu Youzhen's words, that is, to make some "small signs" appear among all the existing indigenous tribes.

For example, on a small island in the South Sea.

Suddenly, a stone tablet set up here in the Han Dynasty appeared, which was engraved that this place belonged to the Central Plains Dynasty in the Han Dynasty.

It is definitely an inseparable territory of the Ming Dynasty since ancient times!

Then the next control of the South Seas will at least be morally tenable....

However, when Zheng He went to the West, almost all the forces in the South Seas had contact with the Ming Dynasty, isn't this all ironclad evidence?

As for whether it's true or not?

If you want to ask questions, you might as well talk to the Ming artillery first!

After Liao Siwei reacted, he instantly became excited, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this matter will be handed over to our Ming Guangdong Sailor!" ”

"The minister must use the opportunity to train in Nanyang on weekdays to successfully complete this task!"

Seeing Liao Siwei's excited expression, many officials laughed out loud, and Xu Guangqi even said with a smile on the side: "That old man's future immigration plan will depend on Governor Liao!" ”

These words made Liao Siwei, who had a big gap between his age and Xu Guangqi, blush, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Lord Xu!" Didn't it break me! Don't.. Don't say that! ”

In the East Warm Pavilion, the atmosphere was a lot more relaxed in an instant.

Although he is an emperor, in essence, Zhu Youzhen is just a young man after all.

I only heard him speak: "Xu Aiqing, you two will talk about this kind of thing slowly, but now I want to talk about another thing!" ”

Everyone present became serious for a moment.

"Next, Daming will face a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, which is related to immigration, Nanyang, and Daming's future marine development plan."

"I have decided to continue the expansion plan for the Heavenly Tiger Army this year, and this round of expansion will recruit no less than 20 divisions between the ages of 16 and 23! If you have special skills, you can gradually relax them upwards. ”

The Celestial Tiger Army will expand again.

This was an outcome that almost everyone present had expected, and after the Mongol pacification, the Tianhu Army deployed by the Ming Dynasty in the three provinces of Mongolia was recalled.

And the same is true of Annan, who originally "lent" the officers and soldiers of the Tianhu Army to the Pingnan Army.

Without exception, all returned to the court.

Even from last year to now, the Wa Kingdom, which has been mired in the Great Purge, has begun to gradually cultivate the local Heavenly Leopard Army Wa Guo Legion, with only one purpose!

That is, to reduce the number of garrisons of the Great Tomorrow Tiger Army in various places.

The first is to stabilize the tranquility in the Ming Dynasty, and the second is to be able to quickly mobilize a large number of experienced troops when plotting against the South Seas in the future.

Instead of emergency training, it is normal for recruits to go to the battlefield to temper themselves.

But it should be done in a more reasonable way.

For example, as a reserve supplement, or in a rotation way to insert new recruits into the veterans, to keep the overall combat effectiveness has not declined significantly.

"Your Majesty! Are all twenty infantry divisions? ”

It was Bi Ziyan who spoke, as Zhu Youzhen's big housekeeper and money bag at the moment, Bi Ziyan, who was in control of the royal treasury, had to consider the issue of expenses.

Zhu Youzhen said: "Twenty infantry divisions, in addition to the corresponding twenty logistics support brigades, and within a year!" Assemble at least ten artillery divisions, and this time, I want to take Nanyang in its entirety! ”

"Your Ministers obey!"

...

Plotting against Nanyang is now the best opportunity.

Zhu Youzhen knew that in only two years at most, the war between the Dutch and the British would probably end hastily, and by that time...

Daming should have a stronger confidence.
