In a complicated gaze.

The second prince, Zhu Yixin, the king of Qin, boarded the giant ship.

He will be accompanied by a corps of more than 3,000 officers.

At this moment, there are only two brigades of standing troops in the Jinzhou Metropolitan Protectorate, but everyone in the Jinzhou Metropolitan Protectorate has guns, everyone can fight, and they are safe from danger.

And these more than 3,000 officers are young graduates who graduated from the Royal Army Academy in Daming in recent years.

They will be in the Golden State Protectorate, that is, the future alliance of the princes of the Americas, to support a huge elite army with at least more than 200,000 people.

And now.

The nominal supreme commander of this army had boarded the ship to the New World.

In addition to the officer corps.

There are also some second-generation members of the wealthy families of the Ming Dynasty.

Empress Luo Fangmei of the Ming Dynasty is now over forty years old, and her figure has begun to be out of shape.

After giving birth to the last princess the year before last.

The "Hero Queen" who made great contributions to the development of the Ming royal family finally did not get pregnant for three consecutive years.

She alone gave birth to 5 princes and 7 princesses.

And all survived.

It's really hard work.

However, for Empress Luo Fangmei of the Ming Dynasty, what she is most concerned about is the succession to the throne of Zhu Da.

Although Emperor Zhu has never revealed that he wants to change the crown prince, and according to the etiquette law, there is no such thing as changing the crown prince for no reason in the succession of the Ming Dynasty.

The power of the crown prince is also guaranteed by force.

Courtesy binds everyone, but it also protects everyone.

But

These are all theoretical things.

Who knows if it's going to suddenly fall apart.

Fortunately.

Now Zhu Er, who is the biggest threat on the surface, is going to North America, and it is impossible to come back for ten or eight years.

Moreover, theoretically, the future Zhu Er is one of the North American vassals, although he is the most noble Qin king, but the third, fourth, fifth, seventh, and eighth brothers of the Zhu family will also go to the Americas.

Crowned Prince.

And Emperor Zhu is obviously a good old man, and he will definitely arrange the army and subordinates. Help recruit customers, and maybe give a low-interest loan or something.

In short, it is still impossible for the brothers of the Zhu family to go to the Americas with their bare hands.

In addition, the princes of the Ming Dynasty will also get a piece of territory in North America - of course, Emperor Zhu, the son of the princes, doesn't care, he has to pay for the recruitment of troops and followers.

Therefore, if the Ming Dynasty can really monopolize North America, then the future of North America will be more than a dozen kingdoms plus a bunch of large and small fragmented princes.

In the future, these countries will definitely have something similar to the annexation of each other by the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States.

But definitely not now.

Because the Restoration of the Son of Heaven of the Ming Dynasty is still there, and even if it has been a hundred years since the Restoration of the Son of Heaven, the next Boss Zhu still has considerable authority.

The struggle for hegemony among the princes of the Spring and Autumn Period did not begin until after the authority of Zhou Tianzi was lost.

Therefore, in the foreseeable time of Luo Fangmei, this kind of thing will definitely not happen, and the North American countries must also rely on the Ming Dynasty because they have to face the pressure brought by the power of the Europeans.

Therefore, when Zhu Lao Er went to North America, Luo Fangmei did not need to worry for the time being.

Don't think that Luo Fangmei is unfounded.

Now there are people in the Ming Dynasty who are spreading what "Zhu Da is mediocre, Zhu Er is heroic" or something.

What do you say, Boss Zhu is like Li Jiancheng, and Boss Zhu is like Li Shimin.

In the future, when Emperor Zhu is old.

The second generation of the Zhu family may want to have a Zhongdu version of Xuanwumen.

Although these rumors were all spread by some former Qing remnants and old Confucian students who were dissatisfied with the Ming Dynasty.

But this is not unfounded.

Zhu Da is slightly fat, and he looks simple.

The facial features are with Emperor Zhu, but the face shape and now the body shape are all with Empress Luo.

There is also a double chin under the round face.

Although I ride my bicycle to and from the university and the palace every day.

But I didn't lose any weight

And he has a soft temperament, a gentle temper, and a smile on everyone.

It doesn't look like a very majestic emperor.

It doesn't look like a very majestic emperor.

And Zhu Er thought about Zhu Daohua very much.

is a young version of Emperor Zhu.

The body is well-proportioned, heroic and extraordinary, and the grades are also very good - Emperor Zhu was a scholar before he crossed over, and it is naturally impossible for his brain not to be smart.

And Zhu Er almost completely inherited Emperor Zhu's scholarly genes.

Since childhood, he has been the first in the exam - sometimes Zhu Da secretly copied Zhu Er's homework.

It's a shame to die.

When he arrived at the military academy, Zhu Er was also very prominent.

What worries Luo Fangmei especially is that many staff officers in the army appreciate Zhu Er, and many officers of the new generation are Zhu Er's classmates.

Sometimes Queen Luo is complaining.

Why do you want Zhu Da to study what law, what politics, what philosophy (old and new Confucianism, Wang Yangming's learning, Western philosophers' learning).

As an emperor.

Isn't the most important thing to know the soldiers, to take charge of the troops, and to lead the troops?

Now it's good.

The personal relationship between Zhu Da, the crown prince, and the future generals of the Ming Dynasty is not as good as Zhu Er, the king of Qin.

If Zhu Er doesn't go to the New World, Lai Zaizhong won't leave.

Queen Luo is afraid that she won't be able to sleep.

During this time, she also read history books.

Historically.

The succession of the second emperor of any dynasty is basically a problem.

Needless to say, the Qin Dynasty.

Twenty and dead.

What about the Han Dynasty?

After the death of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, it was Empress Lu who ruled the dynasty and directly killed Liu Bang's eight sons.

As for what a small dynasty like Wei and Jin is, there is no need to say it.

In the Tang Dynasty, everyone knew very well what Li Er had done.

And the Song Dynasty also had rumors of axes and candle shadows.

Waited until Lao Zhu's house.

Hey, there was also a case where the vassal king rebelled and directly took away his nephew's country.

Wait until the Red Dynasty.

Uh, this can't be said.

In a word.

The transmission of any dynasty from one generation to the second generation will not always be so smooth.

The lessons of history lie ahead.

Queen Luo also has to worry.

Now at least the biggest threat has gone to North America.

Next, as long as Zhu Da himself does not die, he should be able to become an emperor at the age of thirty - Empress Luo knows Emperor Zhu, and he will probably choose to retire when he is in his fifties.

This is perhaps the most industrious founding emperor in history.

Sometimes she even wonders if Emperor Zhu is a descendant of Emperor Taizu - how can Emperor Taizu, a workaholic emperor who is famous for his diligence and even directly abolish the prime minister system, have such a descendant who is "very lazy" in government affairs.

Think about it.

Empress Luo hurriedly withdrew her thoughts.

Emperor Zhu looked at the five huge ships that were rumbling out of the military port.

It has been paved for more than ten years.

Right now

Is it really time for the decisive battle to be ripe?

This is a decisive battle between two civilizations.

Can eighteen-year-old Zhu Lao Er withstand this pressure?

Although, in the military system of the Ming Dynasty, the importance of staff officers is increasing.

However, as the supreme commander, Zhu Laoer's role must not be ignored.
