It's night.

Constantinople is really a good place, at least Zhu Zhanqi thinks so, and even once thought about whether to retire here.

For Zhu Zhanyan, compared with the Central Plains, the European side gives him a higher sense of freedom, because he doesn't need to worry about those messy things here.

Although he didn't care about his reputation for a long time, he only didn't care about it in most places, and some of the forbidden areas inherited by the Han people are still untouchable.

For example, in the Central Plains, he couldn't attack the people for no reason, he couldn't impose taxes and tyranny, and he couldn't vent his negative emotions at will.

But in Europe, these are not restricted.

He can slaughter the people of Youpei arbitrarily, he can slaughter a city casually, or even exterminate a clan, where the Ming army said, the men are basically killed, the women are screened according to their appearance, and the poor ones are either taken to trade with Europe or killed.

Those with good appearance conditions were either kept by Zhu Zhan for his own use, or they were sold, or they were divided among the soldiers.

Because in this time of war, women ...... In fact, it is a consumable.

In a word, on the European side, Zhu Zhanyan can do whatever he wants, play as much as he wants, whether it is beyond the political edge or the moral bottom line, Zhu Zhanyan does not have the slightest psychological burden.

But not in the Central Plains.

Sometimes, what you do isn't just about yourself, but of course, it's limited to certain things.

For example, if Zhu Zhanyan is harsh on government and taxes, future generations will not talk about Zhu Zhanyan directly, and will more or less bring Zhu Zhanyan's father, and even grandfather and great-grandfather.

Therefore, sometimes you behave not only for yourself, but also for your elders and even grandparents, as well as for your children and grandchildren.

But in Europe, Zhu Zhanyan doesn't need to think about it so much.

Whether they talk about it or not, anyway, Zhu Zhanyan has already thought clearly, if you want the Central Plains to stop being bullied, then just destroy everyone outside the Central Plains.

At that time, even if there is chaos, it will be the Central Plains' own chaos, and even if there is a change of dynasty, it will be the Central Plains' own business.

Perhaps, this goal is too big, and Zhu Zhanyan may not be able to accomplish it with his own words alone, because he is already thirty years old, and when he was established, he is already a middle-aged person in this era.

But at the very least, while he is alive, he wants to destroy those enemies who have proven to be stronger than the Central Plains and develop faster than the Central Plains.

……

"His Royal Highness ...... the Prince"

Just when Zhu Zhan was sitting on the city wall, looking at the Bosphorus in a daze, wandering out of the world, a voice sounded from behind him, making his thoughts that he didn't know where to fly forcibly retracted.

"Isn't it cold?" Zhu Zhanyan turned his head, glanced at Zheng He, and spoke.

It's not about discrimination, the group of eunuchs...... There are good people and bad people, such as the eunuch Wang Chengen who accompanied Emperor Chongzhen to hang the coal mountain, Zhu Zhanyan admired it very much.

To some extent, Zhu Zhanyan's discrimination is not directed against a certain group, because he is well aware that every group is good and bad.

Of course, except for, who discriminate against without discrimination against people and ethnicities.

As for the group of eunuchs, because of the lack of a certain important organ, there are not many good bodies, and the vast majority of eunuchs give people a feeling that the yin qi is very heavy and weak.

Zheng He especially.

It's not that Zheng He has any problems, but his experience.

He was deficient in yang energy, and he was running on the way to the West and back all the year round, and the moisture entered his body, and his body had problems a long time ago.

"It's fine." For Zhu Zhanyan's concern, Zheng He still bowed his head and thanked him.

"What's the matter?" Zhu Zhanyan poured himself a glass of wine, and at the same time brought out another wine jar from the side and put it back.

It's obviously for Zheng He.

"Minister......" Zheng He looked at the wine jar in front of him, and his tone was a little hesitant.

"I want to ask...... Your Royal Highness, Your Highness ......"

Zhu Zhanyan tilted his head slightly, although Zheng He stumbled when he spoke, he didn't mind, nor did he open his mouth to urge, just quietly waited for him to finish.

"Minister......" Zheng He originally wanted to wait for Zhu Zhanyan to speak, but seeing that Zhu Zhanyan didn't mean that, he simply gritted his teeth and expressed his worries.

"You let the minister sail away to a new continent, do you want to ...... Occupy...... Same as here? ”

"Hehe......" Zhu Zhanyan smiled slightly when he heard this.

He knew that Zheng He would ask sooner or later, but he didn't expect that Zheng He would be able to hold back until now and open this mouth on the eve of departure.

"Why do you think so? Do you think that I will be like in the Wa Kingdom, in the Dayue Kingdom, and now, as long as I am not a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, I will be treated with acts such as slaughtering cities and exterminating the clan? ”

"Have you ever wondered why the Sultan of Delhi was able to become one of the main forces of my expedition to Europe?"

"Yes! I admit it! ”

"I'm not particularly nice to the remnants of the Delhi Sultan, but throughout the ages, there has always been a period of preparedness for the remnants of other countries, right? I don't seem to remember a dynasty that unconditionally accepted the remnants of other countries. ”

"Don't tell me about the Qin State that dominates the world across the Six Kingdoms, I remember that the Qin State built the Great Wall, the Qin Straight Road and the Afang Palace at that time, and transferred a large number of people from the Six Kingdoms, right? For what, others don't know, you don't know? ”

After speaking, Zhu Zhanyan smiled freely, and turned his head to look at Zheng He, who was bowing his head and saying nothing, as if he was seeking an answer.

And Zheng He, although he felt Zhu Zhanyan's gaze, couldn't say a word.

In just a few words, Zheng He already understood what Zhu Zhanyan wanted to say.

Indeed, taking Qin's unification of the Six Kingdoms as an example, everyone knows that the First Emperor collected the world's soldiers to cast twelve iron men, and later repaired the Great Wall, Qin Straight Road, built the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, Afang Palace, and mobilized a large number of people from the Six Kingdoms.

But in fact, this is just something that must be done after the unification of troubled times.

At that time, although Qin unified the six countries, the people of the six countries were not convinced, not to mention all, at least the vast majority of the people still had the idea of resisting the rule of Qin.

Collect the world's soldiers to cast twelve iron men, in order to collect all the world's iron weapons (bronze) and eliminate the possibility of resistance, after all, how can you resist without weapons?

The Great Wall, Qin Zhidao, Qin Emperor's Mausoleum and Afang Palace were for the people of the Six Kingdoms to work for conscription.

Everyone knows that whether it is an uprising or a rebel, it is all operated by the nobles of the family behind it, and the people are just pawns in their hands, as long as the nobles of the family have no chess pieces to use, the resistance of the six countries is equivalent to being nipped in the bud.

And now, Zhu Zhan's situation is actually not much different from the original First Emperor.

Before Qin unified the Six Kingdoms, the Central Plains only referred to a certain place, not the Central Plains as later generations believed, and the Six Kingdoms at that time were no different in thought from today's Ming Dynasty and Delhi Sultans and Europe.

If you want to unify and rule, just like the formation of the concept of the Central Plains, you must experience the dual domination of the body and the mind, and you must be doubly unified.

There are only two ways to deal with those who are unwilling to accept such domination and unity.

The first is to follow the example of the Qin State in those years and use the Suez Canal as a large-scale project to make the Arabs and Europeans alike devote themselves to heavy conscription and have no time to resist.

But!

This is not applicable to today's Daming.

Unlike the original Qin State, the distance between Daming and the Delhi Sultan, the Suez region and Europe is too far, just like Zhu Zhanqi's return to Shuntian this time, the speed can be said to be the fastest and fastest, but it still took more than three and a half months to make a round trip, close to four months.

This is also because Zhu Zhanyan caught up with the ocean current when he returned to Europe, and if he didn't catch up, it would definitely take more than four months.

In the face of the rebellion of the Six Kingdoms, the Qin State was no longer able to reach the army immediately, and the territory of the Ming Dynasty today is many times larger than that of the Qin State back then, and the time spent on the road is also many times more than I don't know.

The final result, the best and the best, can only be the same as the Mongols back then, which will eventually split into four khanates, or even more.

Worst outcome...... Needless to say.

Therefore, there is only one way to leave it to Daming and Zhu Zhanyan, and that is the method adopted by Zhu Zhanyan now.

Let only the people of Daming exist in this world, then there is no foreign enemy, even if there is a change in the future, it is also a matter of your own family, even if you fight to the death, but as long as the winner is finally separated, the winner is always the person of Daming.

Thinking of this, Zheng He also guessed the main purpose of his voyage, or should I say the future voyage.

That is, all the new continents given by Zhu Zhan Yan were under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, as for the aborigines of those lands......

If you are willing to accept the indoctrination of Jiao Daming, then like the remnants of the original Delhi Sultan, you can at least temporarily become a part of the Ming Dynasty, and as for the future, it depends on their performance.

But if they don't, then the Japanese people, Siam and other countries, Arabs and now European white pigs are their standard templates.

Thinking of this, Zheng He's head, which had been lowered, suddenly raised and looked at Zhu Zhanyan in a daze.

In fact, in this conversation, both of them knew each other's meaning from the beginning.

Zheng He didn't want to do what Zhu Zhanyan said, or to put it bluntly, he didn't want to be an executioner who slaughtered innocent civilians, but Zhu Zhanyan didn't care so much.

The current Zhu Zhanyan is still the Zhu Zhanyan who pursued high efficiency at the beginning, for him, time is the most precious thing, and he has no time to deliberately spare the few hours he has to slowly educate a nation that is unlikely to obey the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

For Zhu Zhanyan, if there are more lice, he will not bite, and if he has more debts, he will not worry.

The lives of the people hanging in his name are already uncountable, and he doesn't mind adding tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of millions, because the result is the same.

Those who identify with him will not denigrate him just because of this incident, but those who slander him......

Anyway, it's already slandered, Zhu Zhanyan doesn't care anymore, anyway, no one dares to chew the root of my tongue when I'm alive, when I die, how do you like to chew, even if I am reborn with memories again, you can't imagine that the person you slandered would listen to you slander him.

Of course, if he is willing to join sincerely, Zhu Zhanyan is still willing to accept it, but the premise is that he must see sincerity.

After all, there is no such thing as labor, and there is never too much.
