Zhu Biao naturally acted on purpose, pretending that he didn't know anything about South Africa.

Fang Jin no longer had any doubts, so he replied: "Your Majesty, the minister heard from a distant relative in the family a few years ago. ”

"Distant relatives, where are they now?" Zhu Biao deliberately followed the other party's meaning and continued to ask.

"Chen's distant relative is called Xu Xiake, he likes to travel around, and he has also been to do business overseas, plus the world was in turmoil before the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and there were wars everywhere, so the minister lost contact with them!" Fang Jin said the words that had been prepared a long time ago.

Xu, you're big, won't you make up a name yourself?

Spit and complain, Zhu Biao still pretended to be convinced, nodded and said: "The world was turbulent at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and I haven't contacted it yet, most of your distant relatives are more likely to be more than lucky!" ”

When he said this, he was actually consciously lying about Fang Jin's rhetoric.

"Yes, the minister also inquired about their news later, but there is no news!" Fang Jin really followed Zhu Biao's words and said.

Zhu Biao sighed: "Your distant relative is a talent, it's a pity." Fang Jin! ”

"The minister is here!"

"Lone's understanding of overseas is not as good as the East and South Seas, and the farther away is confused. You can tell us a rough idea of what you know. ”

Fang Jin pondered for a moment and replied, "The minister knows more about the Western regions farther away than the South Seas!" As for the further ones, it is not very clear either. ”

Load, keep loading!

"Didn't you say it earlier!" Zhu Biao complained.

"Your Highness, you didn't ask!"

"What is the situation in South Africa that these four brothers look at, you can tell me in detail." Zhu Biao asked curiously, and the performance was very realistic.

After thinking about it, Fang Jin replied: "There are a large number of plains in that place that are suitable for cultivation, and the mineral resources are even richer. ”

"Then yours, a distant relative, can make a fortune!" Zhu Biao quipped.

Fang Jin smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, there are not enough people." There were many Kunlun slaves in that place, all of whom were in a barbaric tribal state and completely uncivilized. They have no interest in gold, but they are also very hostile to outsiders, and they also like to sacrifice people alive and even eat human flesh! ”

"If the minister's distant relatives hadn't run fast, they would have been caught and baked."

When Xiao Zhu Di on the side heard this, he patted his thigh and said excitedly: "Such a good place was actually occupied by those Kunlun slaves, and it was a tyrannical thing!" ”

"Fourth brother, then South Africa is too far away from Daming, do you really want to go there?" Zhu Biao asked again, "It may take a year and a half to get from Daming to there, and you won't have much chance to go back to Daming in the future." ”

Isn't that what I want?

Without the father and eldest brother in charge, it's not like the sky is high and the birds are still flying!

"Big brother, as the prince of the Ming Dynasty, I really want to expand the territory for the country." Xiao Zhu Di said solemnly.

Theoretically speaking, the land of the prince's overseas establishment also belongs to the feudal area of the Ming Dynasty, and the king of the vassal state was also canonized by the Ming Dynasty, flowing with the blood of the Zhu family.

Even in the future, those nobles will be overseas vassal states the size of state capitals, which can be regarded as the sphere of influence of the Ming Empire.

Because this noble title was also canonized by the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Biao's assumption is that after the level of firearms in the Ming Dynasty has developed in great strides and can form an absolute suppression of the grassland tribes, whether it is the prince or the prince or the noble, these violent madmen will all be sent overseas by Lao Tzu, so as not to stay in the country and harm the people of the Ming Dynasty.

He gave such preferential treatment to the Marquis of Jinghai on Ryukyu Island, and it was also a bait to lure those nobles into their traps.

Of course, this Ryukyu was only temporarily handed over to the management of the Marquis of Jinghai, and sooner or later it would also be under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court.

"Fourth brother, you have this heart, and you are still very moved to be the eldest brother!" Zhu Biao's heart is happy.

You want to go to South Africa yourself, but it's not my big brother who wants you to go!

However, after thinking about it, with the ability of Emperor Yongle, if the feudal country is set up in Annam, Zhancheng, or Luzon, it is indeed a bit condescending, and it is indeed more appropriate to let Zhu Di establish a country in South Africa, and then lead the army to gallop on the African savannah.

More importantly, once Zhu Di goes to South Africa, they will never be able to touch the throne of the Ming Emperor.

Even if the Yan Kingdom he established in South Africa in the future, after a hundred years of development, its national strength is comparable to that of the Ming Dynasty, it is not capable of going on an expedition at all.

Think about how powerful the Ottoman Empire is in another time and space, they have cultivated ten generations of Ming monarchs in a row with the "Gu Cultivation Inheritance Method", but they are still unable to threaten the East Asian region, and the location of South Africa is much farther away from the Ming Dynasty than the Ottoman Empire.

After Zhu Biao came back to his senses, he continued: "Fourth brother, the eldest brother will naturally support your idea. But you go back now, Lone has some things to discuss with Fang Jin. ”

Xiao Zhu Di jumped up and ran out of the hall happily.

Now in the room, only Zhu Biao and Fang Jin are left.

"Lao Fang, you have a heart!" Zhu Biao opened his mouth, and his tone actually contained a bit of gratitude, "Are you afraid that the descendants of Gu will not be able to sit on the throne?" ”

Historically, your son did not sit firmly on the throne!

The first prince in the history of the court, and all his descendants were stripped of their titles and demoted to concubines.

Ming Taizu has so many sons, but the most powerful eldest son and descendant are the most miserable.

Fang Jin replied: "The minister doesn't dare, it's the fourth prince himself who also wants to experience the taste of a founding monarch, and His Royal Highness doesn't have this opportunity." ”

Zhu Biao smiled dumbly, and said: "Old Fang, then South Africa is really as good as you say, or you deliberately tempted the fourth brother." ”

"The conditions in that place are really unique, and the minister really doesn't lie a word." Fang Jin said very frankly.

Zhu Biao was silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

Fang Jin added: "Your Highness, this is a map of Kunlun Continent drawn by the minister in his spare time. ”

This is the map of Africa that came to life, and it is basically the same.

Zhu Biao "pretended" and looked at it with relish.

"Your Highness, please look at this!" Fang Jin's tone was excited and his eyes were bright as he spoke, "The location of South Africa is at the southernmost tip of Kunlun Continent, and the ships should be able to reach the Europa region if they go around this place and go up." ”

"Europa? Is it the Far West mentioned by the Mongols during their westward conquest? Zhu Biao asked deliberately.

"Farther than where the Mongols marched west!" Fang Jin showed a bright smile, "In the future, the people of Europa want to come to the West, the South Sea, and even the Ming region by sea and land, and the feudal kingdom of the four princes is the only way for them. ”

"I heard from my distant relative, Xu Xiake, that those Europa people were barbaric and bloodthirsty, and they were more brutal than the Tatars on the steppe!"

"The four princes have sealed their kingdom here, and if they can build a powerful country, they will block the eastward journey of the people of Europa!"
