"I'm going to be a soldier!"

Inside the Golden Hill Castle.

Li Zhongyi, who has become the head of the Civil Affairs Department of the Jinshan Metropolitan Protectorate, has a headache.

At this time, it was his eldest son Li Wenle who was clamoring to be a soldier.

Li Zhongyi never dreamed of it.

The way of the world has become like this.

You don't want to study hard and be an official, you have to be a big soldier.

"No! You will honestly prepare for the exam at home, and if you can't take the exam before the age of thirty, you won't have to be an official, you go to be a soldier, and when you come back from a soldier for a few years, you can take the exam and become an official again? ”

Li Zhongyi, whose hair and beard were already gray, blew his nose and glared and said.

"Why should I be an official! If I come out of the army, I can go to university. Li Wenle pouted and said.

"Take the university entrance examination, the people of my Li family are disciples of Confucius and Mencius, and they will never learn anything new!"

Although Li Zhongyi became an official of the Ming Dynasty, he was also a loyal monarch.

But he didn't forget that he was a Confucian student.

"Dabao, what are you doing to be a soldier, I heard that there is going to be a war with the Americans" Mrs. Li Xu Aju, who was on the side, pulled her eldest son with a worried look on her rich face.

"It's because there's going to be a war! This battle will be like the division of Zhou, laying the foundation for the next two thousand years of our Chinese culture! ”

Li Wenle said loudly.

These truths are all taught by Jinshan High School.

Li Zhongyi had a headache when he heard this.

Now a new generation of sixteen or seventeen-year-old young people like Li Wenle.

Basically, my mind is full of reactionary ideas of "using the sword of China to open up space for China to live".

This is a good country of Confucius and Mencius.

How did you become a tiger wolf?

The Yangtze River route has become more and more prosperous.

On this section of the waterway from Shanghai to Zhongdu.

The water of the Yangtze River has begun to turn black, and the good Yangtze River has now become black water.

However, in this era, there is no environmental protection agency, and there is no concept of global warming, carbon neutrality and so on.

The Ming court will not care about the emissions of the factory or anything.

Along the Yangtze River, a large number of sewage outlets have blackened the entire Yangtze River estuary.

In this day and age.

The chimneys emitting black smoke and the rivers flowing with polluted water symbolize advanced and civilizational.

But.

At this moment, in Emperor Zhu's Jiangbei Palace, there will definitely be no smell of odor, and there will be no sewage to be seen.

Around the Jiangbei Palace.

The mansions of the nobles of the Ming Dynasty spread along several waterways and railways.

Suzhou garden-style houses can be seen everywhere here.

This is the most expensive area in the entire Ming Dynasty.

But unlike later generations, the more downtown it is, the more expensive the house is.

There is no "matching" around the Jiangbei Palace at all.

Oh, and there are packages available.

For example, the princes and princesses of the Ming Dynasty will also attend the Royal Academy.

For example, the Imperial Hospital.

It's just that I have to go to school at the Royal Academy, or go to the Imperial Hospital to see a doctor.

It's not just for anyone to go.

It was in Emperor Zhu's imperial study.

Heating pipes wrap around the corners of the walls, warming the large room.

Emperor Zhu is playing against the crown prince Zhu Yichi.

There are no palace maids around.

Sitting next to the father and son is the more and more mellow Queen Luo.

Queen Luo, who is only 1.6 meters tall, is now at least 130 pounds.

However, Empress Luo is now in a stable position.

And it's also in his forties.

I basically don't care much about my heavier and heavier body.

After all.

With Zhu Laoer, he went to the Americas.

Boss Zhu's position as the crown prince is as stable as Mount Tai.

Boss Zhu has now begun to listen to the government - saying that he is listening to the government, in fact, he is the secretary of Emperor Zhu.

At this time, Boss Zhu, who also looked a little rich, touched the sweat on his forehead.

Old man, this stinky chess basket

It's hard to deal with.

Neither can you obviously release water, but also can't kill the old man to lose face.

This is a sense of proportion.

It's really hard.

Now Emperor Zhu has shown defeat on the chessboard.

Therefore, I didn't pay much attention to this game of chess.

"The second child's performance yesterday, you can see it."

"Looked." Zhu Yichi replied honestly, "There are indeed some loopholes in this entrance exam. But it's more difficult to prescribe race."

"What do you think of black people in North America?"

"Blacks are just vassals of whites."

"They have more than a million vassals."

Emperor Zhu fell into the house, suddenly felt a little regretful, turned his head to look at Empress Luo on the side, and suppressed the thought of wanting to regret the chess.

"The second brother plans to expand the army, with 50,000 cavalry deep into the North American plain for thousands of miles, and fight like the Hanbei attacking the Huns, what do you think?"

"Erchen thought. Too risky. Zhu Yichi shook his head and said, "Only 50,000 cavalry, deep behind the enemy, if it is surrounded"

Emperor Zhu bowed slightly, noncommittal.

Seeing this, Queen Luo couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

The boss didn't touch Emperor Zhu's mind again.

After more than 20 years of husband and wife, Empress Luo knows Emperor Zhu's character too well.

His expression was obviously agreeing with Zhu Laoer's approach.

And the prince didn't notice this.

However, Queen Luo will not give a word to remind.

She knew very well what kind of successor Emperor Zhu wanted.

The second generation of emperors of the Ming Empire only needs an old and serious monarch.

If the crown prince is as radical as King Qin, he likes to take risks.

Maybe Emperor Zhu will really change the prince's mind.

Emperor Zhu did not continue to talk about North America.

Instead, he talked about the topic of Nanyang.

"The Admiralty reported that a British convoy had been found on the south coast of mainland Australia. It was supposed to be sent from their South African colony. ”

Emperor Zhu said.

"The British occupied the islands of the Indian Ocean, and their purpose is probably not to fight for the Australian mainland, but to establish a naval base closer to our Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Yichio said.

"Do you think the plan for the Navy is feasible?"

"The retainers thought it feasible to send out a fleet and uproot the British stronghold in the Indian Ocean."

"That being the case, you will go to the Strait Governor's Mansion in June this year to take command of this war." Emperor Zhu said.

After the beginning of spring, he will sail north to the northern capital.

However, he is also quite concerned about the British naval warfare.

After all, on the sea, the Ming Navy has not undergone large-scale combat operations for more than ten years.

"In addition to uprooting the strongholds of the British, if possible, occupy a few places in East Africa and establish military ports."

Emperor Zhu will fall.

After a moment's thought, he shook his head.

"Father, now that the war in the Americas is about to start, if you go to Africa again."

'It's okay, it's not going to be a big fight, it's just a flag.' ’

Emperor Zhu waved his hand.

"Otherwise, where will the more than a million black people in North America go? Did they all kill? I can't bear it in my heart. ”

Zhu Yichi couldn't help but pause when he heard this.

"You can't kill more than a million blacks, and you don't blink an eye when you kill millions of whites, right?"

Zhu Yichi complained in his heart.

He knows.

Emperor Zhu certainly did not just use East Africa to settle black North Americans. (End of chapter)
