With the limited knowledge he had learned in his previous life history class, Jia Cong marked about seventy or eighty places suitable for colonial statehood on the Kunyu World Map.

Large and small kingdoms, principalities, and governors are almost all over the world, and as long as a small half of these places achieve colonial rule, it is enough for the emperor to stand on the Fengtian Hall and raise his hand to the world map and shout: "In my territory, the sun never sets." ”

"The territory directly under the direct jurisdiction of the state can include Goryeo and Wa to the east, to the north to the ice field, to the west to open up the Western Regions, and to the Green Mountains. In the south, it is as far as it can be farther to fight, and it is best to incorporate Luzon, Borneo, and Manraka into the territory of the national dynasty to form an absolute defensive circle against the maritime frontier of the country. ”

Jia Cong drew a circle on the map with a pen, focusing on three points in Manraka: "Manraka's position is the most critical, hold this place, advance and retreat can be defended, and then connect with Borneo, Luzon, Ryukyu, Wa and other places." In this circle, it is the Great Xia Inland Sea, and there is no room for error. ”

"You kid is really trying to open up the territory, Luzon is still in the hands of Hongmaoyi, Borneo is in the hands of the Dutch, these two countries are powerful, it is not easy to do. However, if it is not easy to do, it must be done, Luzon and Borneo must be in the hands of Great Xia, and the king of heaven and Lao Tzu must also be taken down. The fourth ......"

Emperor Taishang deserves to be a master of strategy, and he can see at a glance the importance of the key places marked by Jia Cong.

He slapped the emperor on the shoulder: "Don't just think about beating those local chickens and dogs on the land, since the beginning of Yanhuang, the ancestors have almost beaten us down the places suitable for survival on the land, and now it's our turn." Now it is a battle for hegemony on the sea, you must not slack off, for the sake of your children and grandchildren, you must fight these places. ”

"Dad, you ......"

Liu Heng felt the temperature and strength coming from his shoulders, and couldn't cry or laugh.

"Since my son took your seat, there has not been a day of slacking off. Jia Cong, this kid, makes some trouble for his son every once in a while, and his son just wants to rest and has no chance to ......"

Speaking of this emperor, there are some small grievances, roughly calculated, since the fifth year of Yuan You, first in addition to the four kings, Pinghexi, the destruction of Wara, the destruction of southern Xinjiang, as well as the opening of the sea policy, the implementation of new policies, which one is simple?

Other emperors all lived luxurious days, surrounded by three thousand beauties, and went down to the south of the Yangtze River in a dragon boat...... Ahem, forget it, in the end, it's my father, for His Holiness, don't mention it.

However, Liu Heng is willing to take care of these troubles, even if he is tired to death, he is willing to do so. The title of the First Emperor of the Ages is about to be decided!

"The Ministry of Industry has already built dozens of warships, and when the sailors have enough manpower, my son will set up three major sailors of the East, the South Sea, and the West......

Jia Cong suddenly interjected: "Your Majesty, the ocean war, calling the sailor is no longer enough to match the name of the Celestial Empire's army. How about being separated from the land division, called the navy? The Royal Navy's three major fleets in the East, South and West. ”

The old man pondered for a moment, and it was really so.

The inland rivers are just calling the sailors, and now they have to go thousands of miles away to fight the enemy on the sea, which really makes the naval fleet even more uplifted.

And Jia Cong, this kid has a good point, Lu Shi and Shui Shi...... It has become two different arms of the military from the navy, and the governor's office of the five armed forces will also be changed.

The matter is quite troublesome, involving a redivision of power, and requires caution.

He wrote down the matter for the time being, and planned to talk to the fourth child after returning to the palace.

Liu Heng originally wanted to invite the old man back to the palace, but unfortunately the old man knew that he would be annoyed to death when he went back, so he opened the Grand View Garden and lived directly in this garden specially built for the relatives of Yuanchun Province.

Just kidding, Jia Cong just threw out the fat meat that was divided overseas, and the kind of idle clan prince in Beijing had to go to Longshou Palace to annoy him like crazy, who called him still the ancestor of the royal family.

Let's throw these troubles to the fourth child to do.

……

Sure enough, as the gang of people from the Capital Chamber of Commerce hurriedly left the Rongguo Mansion and reported to the master behind them, the entire capital was boiling.

Today's Great Xia is not like before, always thinking that overseas is just a barbarian land, and a fool will think of leaving the Central Plains Flower World to drink Mao Ru's blood overseas.

Since the opening of the sea, the big guy has learned a lot of overseas things from the mouths of the red-haired and yellow-haired people.

It is said that the Yi people discovered a huge gold mine in that place called the Cape of Good Hope, and every year the silver dug out of the ground was pulled back by boatload.

There is also a place called the Incas, and the one with a lot of gold is called the country of gold.

The silver mines of the Wa Kingdom are enough to make this group of princes and nobles drool, so much gold, watching others come back boats by boat, it is really a cat scratching the heart, itching uncomfortable.

The number of places in Jia Cong's hands is limited, but there are many princes in the capital.

Therefore, as soon as the news spread, some flexible people ran to the palace without hesitation.

Compared with the "mean and unkind" emperor, Longshou Palace is the first choice for these people. It's a pity that the sage master ran to Rongguo Mansion early to hide in Qingjing, leaving the emperor to be tortured by a group of people.

For only one day, the emperor couldn't bear to be surrounded by a large circle of people as soon as he opened his eyes, and his brain hurt, so he threw the trouble to his son and "godson".

The emperor's edict came out of the palace, and the overseas affairs were divided into two people, and the crown prince Liu Hong and Yongfeng Bo Jia Cong had full authority to deal with them.

"Oh my God, this group of people is really crazy, they didn't even understand what the situation was overseas, so they dared to let out big words to go to the farthest Cape of Good Hope to build a country."

Jia Cong sat on the stone steps in front of the main hall of the East Palace, holding a piece of cold melon in his hand and complaining while gnawing on it.

He shouted at the palace: "Fourth brother must keep an eye on this group of people, don't let them die in vain, the naval strength of the Nayi people is still very strong, especially Spain, Portugal and the Netherlands." ”

Liu Hong finished the thick stack of recitals on the table with a headache, rubbed his sore wrists, and smiled bitterly.

He walked to the main hall, took a piece of melon from the plate in the hand of the palace maid, sat next to Jia Cong and took a big bite, and scolded Jia Cong angrily: "Others are still good to say, what are you making a fuss?" How? Are you still worried that I won't be able to tolerate the ninth brother? ”

"It's not for this reason, I just want to give my eldest nephew a piece of the family business in advance, and I can't let him eat in Beijing and wait for death when the time comes."

Jia Cong really didn't think that Liu Hong would do anything to his nephew, but Yuan Chun swore a poisonous oath in front of Liu Hong at the beginning, and he would not think about the big position.

Of course, Liu Hong's position as the prince is as stable as Mount Tai, and no one will be stupid to hit the south wall.

After Jia Cong discussed with the elders in the family, he proposed to book an overseas fief for the little prince, which could be regarded as a rainy day.

When the little prince grows up, if he is willing to go to sea to work hard, the Ning Rong Jia family and the Lin family will join forces to provide him with as much help as possible.

If he is unwilling to go to sea, then this fief can also be used as one of the back roads of the Jia family and the Lin family overseas.

There are still three caves in the cunning rabbit, not to mention the two families of Jia and Lin, they can't give up this big fat piece of overseas meat after being resigned.

Jia Cong did not hide it, and put these calculating calculations directly in front of Liu Hong, showing sincerity and letting Liu Hong make his own decisions.

Sure enough, telling the purpose without reservation is the loyalty of the Jia family to him in Liu Hong's opinion.

It's just an overseas fiefdom, and it's given.

Anyway, it's for his own brothers, not those clansmen who have been separated by generations, or even those princes in the court who have no blood relationship.

"The Australia you said is too far away, do you want to look closer?"

"Not far away, Australia is adjacent to Borneo and other places, the land area is huge, and now it has not been occupied by the Yi, it is considered a terra nullius. Closer is the territory directly under the jurisdiction of the national dynasty that we set before, and the fourth brother in those places must bite to death and is not allowed to divide others, and must be directly governed by the imperial court. ”

Jia Cong attached great importance to Manchuria, Borneo, Luzon and other places, and repeatedly explained to Liu Hong what the absolute defense circle of Great Xia was.

There is no long-lasting dynasty in this world, and the previous dynasty is about to defeat half of the world, and it is not a hundred years before it collapses.

The empire on which the sun never sets in the previous life has been replaced by three, and the empire that is as strong as the Great Empire is not gradually declining with the death of Empress Victoria.

This absolute defense circle is the final bottom line prepared by Jia Cong, as long as this line can be kept, even if there is an imperial hegemony in the world, it can also ensure the interests of the Central Plains Dynasty.

"It's Australia, of course, if the fourth brother has the heart to run Australia, it's okay to go a little farther."

"Wow, you're ......"

Liu Hong beckoned to the waiter to send a map, pen and ink, and wrote a few small characters on the Australian side.

"Then Australia, I hope that my father and my mother will not complain that I have divided their sons so far."

In fact, Liu Hong doesn't care much about this, the virtuous concubine of Fengzao Palace can really be called virtuous and virtuous, not only has she always stood behind her to help him in the past few years, but also blocked a lot of calculations in the harem for him.

Even if Yuanchun has a parent, he still does not change his original intention. Liu Hong's original plan was to give Yuanchun's son a good fief in the future, such as Huguang.

Of course, if the younger brother is willing to stay in the capital and wants to make a difference, it is not impossible to go to the court to serve in the central government.

Even if the little brother is a scholar like Xiao Wu, with him as an elder brother, what does it matter if he has a free life?

Jia Cong saw that Liu Hong didn't care about the belonging of a piece of the continent, and gave it to his eldest nephew, so he got up and bowed to Liu Hong gratefully: "Thank you Fourth Brother for your success!" ”

"Okay, don't daydream yet, I'm just drawing a circle, the matter of dividing the seal is just talking on paper, let's base ourselves on the present, let's solve the things in front of us first."

Liu Hong listened to the noise coming from outside the gate of the East Palace, and couldn't help but rub his temples.

Jia Cong also wailed and followed Liu Hong back to the main hall.

Not long after, several princes of the clan and Wuxun nobles dressed in python robes came together.

"Big nephew, you tell me the truth, how much silver do you want to divide the quota?"

This arrogant tone is not bad for money as soon as it sounds, and the corners of Jia Cong and Liu Hong's mouths twitched at the same time.

Ji Wangfu is really the richest in the clan, the old prince is not in the capital at this time, his eldest son, Liu Kang, the son of Ji Wang, heard about the division of overseas, and did not hesitate to come to the palace, grinding the emperor to give him a favor.

"Uncle Wang, can you really be the master of Uncle Ji's ancestors? Beware of him coming back and beating you. ”

Liu Hong really didn't want to separate the Ji Wangfu lineage, he also wanted to leave the Ji Wangfu lineage in the capital to help him.

After all, among the royal family, King Ji is the closest branch of the bloodline, and he is also the most loyal to the emperor.

He gave Jia Cong a look and asked him to deal with the others first, then pulled Liu Kang aside and whispered: "Uncle Wang, my nephew will give you a thorough explanation, it's nothing to divide overseas, if Uncle Wang has the heart to go to sea, my nephew will definitely draw you the best place." But Uncle Wang, our family can't all run out, we must always leave the right people to guard the house, right? ”

Liu Kang didn't expect the prince's nephew to say this, this is a heart-to-heart relationship.

He was both moved and a little embarrassed and said: "What you said makes sense, we can't all go overseas." But you better assign me a place, I won't go out, but the brothers in the family can't all stay in the Central Plains. If you think about it, there are so many people in the Ji Wangfu alone who need to be supported by the imperial court, rather than staying in the Central Plains to spend money and food, it is better to let them go out and work hard by themselves. ”

"What Uncle Wang said is that Grandpa Huang was also worried about this. After three generations, our old Liu family has a large number of descendants all over the country, and every year, the money and food of the clan relatives alone is enough to give the household a headache......"

The clan is a huge expense, and as the personnel of the royal family grow, even the emperor who has always been generous sometimes can't help but have a headache and complain.

Now that the policy of dividing overseas has been decided, it has given a good solution to this matter.

Liu Hong pulled Liu Kang to the map, raised his finger and pointed to Ceylon Island across the sea from Tianzhu: "Uncle Wang, although this place is now occupied by Hongmaoyi, this place is a necessary place to go to the Western Ocean, and the geographical position is superior. Let's find a way to knock it down, and a few uncles and brothers from the Ji Wangfu may wish to go here to build a country, and when the time comes, they can attack and retreat and defend. ”

"Great place!"

Before Liu Kang could speak, the princes who had always been staring at Liu Hong's uncle and nephew crowded over one after another and discussed them one by one.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't be too partial, and he will also draw a good fief for me. Since the Ji Wangfu occupies the island of Ceylon, then I will go to Tianzhu ......"

"Tut-tut, you are really a lion's mouth, there are more people who are worried about the place where Tianzhu is plastered. Besides, Tianzhu is now the colony with the largest number of troops in Hongmaoyi, and the sailors of the imperial court are not sure to beat it down. ”

"What do you mean, Eleven? Look down on my brother? ”

"It's not that I look down on you, I'm worried that you will underestimate Yiren and break your teeth!"

"Uncle Clan, don't quarrel, don't quarrel......"

Seeing that several uncles in the clan were arguing for Tianzhu, Liu Hong had to stand up and stop it.

Jia Cong's eyes widened when he looked at it from the side, the Celestial Empire is worthy of being the Celestial Empire, and the naval combat strength of the Hongmaoyi people is still faintly above the Great Xia Navy, so they dare to think about the important colonies of the people.

Sure enough, the people of the Celestial Empire have pride in their bones, even if they can't beat the Yi people now, they all have contempt for the Yi people in their bones.

"Afraid of what? The people of our old Liu family have never been afraid of war, and if we can't fight now, it doesn't mean that we can't fight in the future. It's a big deal that Lao Tzu smashes pots and sells iron to form a fleet, with His Majesty here, His Royal Highness the Prince, and the sailors of the imperial court to escort him, one day Lao Tzu can form a powerful fleet to conquer Tianzhu and drive the Hongmaoyi people into the sea! ”

Jia Cong clapped his hands and praised: "What the eighth master said is, when will the people of our Celestial Empire lose to the Yi people?" ”

The eighth child of the Liu family grinned, he patted Jia Cong on the shoulder several times, and said happily: "Don't compliment me, you kid, tell me, how can I give this fief to me?" ”

Jia Cong also grinned: "We must despise the Yiren strategically, but we must be cautious and cautious in tactics. Tianzhu is big, how can the eighth master occupy it alone? According to the younger generations, it is better for several princes to work together to build a powerful fleet and have a hearty battle with the Yiren! ”
