Chapter 501: Shift in Focus
Zhu Zhan Yan left Rome and boarded a ship back to Shuntianfu.
This was originally Zhu Zhanyan's plan, he would return to Daming before the winter of this year, and if there were no special circumstances, he would most likely not leave Daming in the future.
As for Europe......
Don't look at the fact that after the Age of Discovery, the most joyful dancers on the stage of history were the Grape Bud and the English, but in fact they were nothing at this time in the fifteenth century.
With the strength of the Ming army, it was a matter of time before Western Europe was swallowed, and it was not difficult to eat the island of Great Britain, and the only thing that could hinder the Ming army was the alliance of Northern Europe led by the Kingdom of Denmark.
But that's not because of how strong they are, but because the latitude is too high, even close to the Arctic Circle, and there is too little time to fight throughout the year.
In fact, Zhu Zhanyan is not particularly satisfied with this arrangement.
As one of the initiators of the dark period of the flower planter, and it can be said that he is the biggest culprit, the Kingdom of England actually wants to personally command and destroy it, and personally supervise it, and establish a large Beijing Temple on the Thames, the mother river of the other party.
But there is no way, compared with the present, Zhu Zhanyan pays more attention to the future.
Having reached this height, Zhu Zhanyan actually doesn't care much about the throne, and he doesn't even care who the successor to the throne is.
For Zhu Zhanyan, no matter who the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty is, as long as he can lead the Ming Dynasty to a higher and farther level, or even maintain the status quo, this is enough.
However, in the next generation of the Ming Dynasty, there are only two people, Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Qiming.
If his younger brother Zhu Zhanyan and others could have a son seven or eight years earlier, he wouldn't mind taking care of him, and even let him become the future master of the Ming Dynasty.
However, there is no way.
Baozong, he didn't plan to believe it, and he couldn't believe it, because Zhu Zhanyan didn't think that a Sun Empress who was full of hatred in her heart could teach what a wonderful monarch she was.
Of course, this does not mean that Zhu Qiming can, if Zhu Qiming is crooked, Zhu Zhanyan will also unceremoniously abolish his inheritance qualifications.
However, from the current point of view, Zhu Zhanyan thinks that the next generation he has taught, no matter how outrageous it is, should not be as outrageous as the Bao Sect.
……
Aachen.
After Zhu Zhanqi left Rome, Zhu Sanfeng immediately sent an order to Liu Qingwen in Vienna, asking him to come over to guard Rome, and he went all the way north to Aachen to meet Jian Xiao.
"Is that really what His Royal Highness said?" Jane Xiao's brows furrowed, a little unclear.
"Do I dare to joke with you about this kind of thing?" Zhu Sanfeng was also puzzled.
"At the beginning, I also wondered why His Royal Highness the Prince would give such an order, but it turns out that I heard it correctly, His Royal Highness the Prince said so."
"Uh-huh......" Jane smiled and rubbed her chin.
"It stands to reason that at present, we don't have a lot of intersection with the English, although Wang Jinghong's fleet was also attacked by the English when they crossed the English Channel, but that was normal, after all, everyone knew at that time that we were going to cut off the only way for the English to go south."
"Besides, the English did not cause any casualties to Wang Jinghong's fleet that time, so it would not make His Royal Highness the Prince so worried."
"Other than that, we don't have much to do with the English, do we? So far. ”
"If there's nothing we don't know......" Zhu Sanfeng pondered for a long time before he said with some certainty.
"I guess there isn't."
"Before we attacked the Holy Roman Empire, the English were busy annexing the Kingdom of France, and they couldn't take care of us at all, as you said just now, there was friction with the king's command to make the fleet but it was not big, so that His Royal Highness the Prince would emphasize it."
"If you go further...... His Royal Highness is indeed affectionate, and he helped us get back what we encountered in the Ottoman Empire and the Timurid Empire, but it had nothing to do with the English back then......"
Regarding Zhu Zhanyan's final order, both of them were confused and puzzled.
"Forget it, don't think about it." Jian Xiao couldn't figure it out in the end, so she could only give up.
"Since His Royal Highness's order has been issued, it naturally makes sense, and we don't need to think too much, just do it."
"We don't do this kind of thing less, besides, isn't this what we're best at?"
"Well, that's ......" Zhu Sanfeng also nodded when she heard this, but soon, she looked at Jian Xiao as if she suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World also said before leaving, it is estimated that next year, His Royal Highness will come to Xuntianfu to take over the affairs here, but it is limited to matters other than the war, and the war is still dominated by the three of us, supplemented by the Wu family brothers, Xue Shou and the prince's guards."
"But there is one point, His Royal Highness said that he would encourage some Ming people to come here, after all, it is a pity that the large plains here are thrown away like this."
"There should be some people from the Usizangdu Division in the future, but there will not be many of them, and there will be no officials and generals, all of them are just civilians."
"As for the reason, you and I both know."
"yes, I see." Jane smiled and nodded.
He did know why.
In fact, the reason why the Uszangdu Division was very peaceful in the Ming and Qing dynasties in history was that the Xiaoice River period caused a sharp decrease in the production of barley on the plateau, and the population also decreased, unable to support enough troops.
But if they are given enough land, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not rise like the Tibetans in the Tang Dynasty, or even become an existence that threatens the Central Plains.
"Okay, let's move if there's nothing to do, shall we?" Zhu Sanfeng stood up as he spoke.
"This Aachen, I will stay here for a while, you go back to Rome, and on the way, let Liu Qingwen and Xing Kun go to Vienna to guard Vienna, and let Wu Kezhong, the boss of the Wu brothers, come to this Aachen."
"When everything is arranged, I will take Wu Keqin, Xue Shou and others to meet Qian Yong."
"No problem." Jane smiled and nodded, and stood up as well.
"We haven't fought against the Kingdom of England, and the specific situation is not very clear, but according to His Royal Highness, our strength is far stronger than theirs."
"Strive for this time next year, let's solve the problem on the side of the Kingdom of France first."
"Okay, that's ...... then"
……
Just when Zhu Zhan Yan left Europe, but the Ming army on the European side was also operating normally, the Xiangzhou Mansion also prepared gifts to welcome Zhu Zhan Yan's arrival.
Today's Daming has long been out of that corner of the middle corner, and the pattern has long turned to the world.
If the previous was just pioneering, then the goal of the future is to stabilize the structure of the places that have been developed and the whole world.
And the gift that Zhu Zhanqi prepared for his eldest brother this time can be said to be an important step to achieve this goal.
In the past two days, I have been engaged in real estate transfer, and it is very troublesome to transfer large amounts of money or something, and today the house certificate is down, and it will be restored and updated.
