Take Bengal, split Yunnan into two provinces, and have a vital place to India, and then relax the restrictions on India, attract foreign countries to enter India, and divide the interests.

To put it bluntly, it is to use India's interests to satisfy the ambitions of other countries and let the Ming forces enter Africa.

Here's the exchange.

Yao Kui pointed to Sri Lanka: "This is also important, control here, you can control South India on the sea route, Lao Chen believes that all the islands on the south coast of India are assigned to Sri Lanka, so that South India will be encircled, and the country will be established here, and it will be divided into a feudal king." ”

Zhu Qiyu squinted, his sons were too young, and he didn't plan to divide the fertile land to the clan.

"Your Majesty, although the prince is young, he can first send a heavy minister to control it, and when the prince becomes an adult, he can succeed to the domain."

Yao Kui was worried that the emperor would actually control it, so he immediately said: "This place is tens of thousands of miles away from Beijing, and it will take a year to come and go, and this place is barren, so there is no need to occupy the center." ”

"Yao Qing, I didn't say I wanted to occupy a small island."

Zhu Qiyu said: "I'm thinking, which prince is suitable." ”

As soon as they heard that the emperor had decided to divide the feuds, the courtiers were relieved, and immediately discussed the advantages and disadvantages of Sri Lanka, and then discussed the character of the prince.

Sri Lanka is very close to the Ming Dynasty, and it is not the foundation of the king's hegemony, so just put a master of success.

The key is to put a hegemon, who can only go to the South Indian Peninsula to fight the country, and even threaten the Ming Dynasty's Burma.

Adjacent to the first circle of the Ming Dynasty, a group of lords should be put away.

In this way, we can do the role of Gongwei Daming.

In the second circle, put some capable vassal kings, and in the third circle, let the pioneers and let them fight thousands of miles.

Once someone turns around and encroaches on the territory of the vassal king, then the Ming will send troops to pacify them.

Nian Fu made a final decision: "Lao Chen thinks that the Seven Princes are the most suitable, although the Seven Princes have the ability, but their bodies are thin and weak, they are divided here, close to China, if there is an accident, they can also return to China to recuperate." ”

"If the Seven Princes dislike Sri Lanka being too small, cut a piece of land from South India and merge it to the Seven Princes."

The seventh prince is Zhu Jianchao, with middle and upper ability, poor health, and if he is placed close, if he does not have a son, he can inherit one from other branches.

Sri Lanka is the size of two Qiong states, which is really too small, and it is okay to divide a piece from South India.

"Do you think the seventh is suitable?" Zhu Qiyu looked around at the ministers.

The main old seven years old is appropriate, the old seven is thirteen years old this year, and he will be able to go to the successor domain in three to five years, and it is estimated that the Ming Dynasty will be cleaned up at that time, just right.

"The ministers think it's appropriate." The courtiers deliberated before making a decision.

"That's the seventh, the name of Sri Lanka is not good, change the name, and choose one of the names of the Spring and Autumn Period."

The 156 countries in the Spring and Autumn Period, the princely titles of all dynasties were selected from these 156 characters, and even the names of countries before the Yuan Dynasty were also selected from these 156 characters.

"How is the country of Juan?" Bai Gui Dao.

Zhu Qiyu frowned: "Don Guo? Is it the one who was destroyed by the Lu State? ”

"Shandong is the land of Qilu, and the country of Yan is in the land of Qilu, and this Sri Lanka is too far away from Qilu, right?"

Zhu Qiyu felt that this word was not good, this kind of rare word was not very friendly.

"Then Sri Lanka has raw silk, how about it? Bondage! Li Bingdao.

"The State of Yan, the feudal state of Qu Lie, the second son of Shaokang in the Xia Dynasty, also known as the State of Yan, Your Majesty, it is very good to canonize the Seven Princes as the King of Yan." Geng Jiuchou said.

The main thing is that the meaning is good.

"Then let's crown the old king of Qiyan, and wait until the country is settled, and then officially canonize it." Zhu Qiyu said.

Now that we've talked about Sri Lanka.

Then you have to send troops to take this place, and then slowly manage it into a Han land before you can give it to your son.

"Send a capable general to take charge of the army, and this winter will send troops to destroy Sri Lanka and occupy this place." Zhu Qiyu wanted to swallow it first and slaughter it slowly.

Nian Fu said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, now is not the time to send troops, first swallow Bangladesh, and then Sri Lanka." ”

Zhu Qiyu frowned: "Can I wait, can the King of England wait?" ”

"Your Majesty, the King of the British Dynasty is thousands of miles away from the Ming Dynasty, how can you wait!"

Nian Fu said: "Borneo is expected to be cleaned up in Jingtai in 25 years, and it will be necessary to clean up Luzon in depth, and it will expand the sphere of influence in Luzon Province, which may not be completely completed in Jingtai in 30 years." ”

"What Lao Chen means is that he will first fight three Burma, control Burma, and then expand westward a little bit, so he can't eat a fat man in one bite."

Zhu Qiyu is in a hurry, and he can't wait to erase a city directly on the map, but the war has to be fought little by little.

"Then let's wait."

Zhu Qiyu handed the letter to Nian Fu: "Nian Qing, you can write a reply to the king." ”

"The old minister obeys." Getting rich doesn't feel tricky.

Huaxia has a geographical advantage, there are no strong enemies around, there is no need to take too much into account, and it can expand while building.

And he had finished the matter of the letter.

Zhu Qiyu said again: "Have you read the military report?" Fan Guang lost the battle. ”

Fan Guang was too greedy, and crossed the desert and fought against the Golden Horde in the steppe, but was cut off by someone, and the oasis between the two deserts was cut off, resulting in Fan Guang's defeat.

"Fan Guang's goal is wrong."

"Since you want to take the Fergana Basin, you should join forces with Yang Xin and try your best to take Anyanji."

"Instead of going to the steppes and fighting the cavalry of the Golden Horde."

Geng Jiuchou spoke: "Now it's not advancing, it's not retreating, and it's a dilemma, which is a strategic mistake." ”

Zhu Ying, who had never spoken, said: "Not necessarily, now that the Golden Horde is in civil strife and countless careerists are rising, it is not wrong for Fan Guang to want to go in and get a piece of the pie." ”

"A small defeat is really nothing."

Geng Jiuchou defended: "But have you ever thought about how many soldiers can the Ming Dynasty deploy in the west?" ”

"With the current capacity, it can supply up to 200,000 troops."

"It's playing near Lake Balkhash, and it's going to be able to feed these."

"If you go further west, you can support up to 100,000 soldiers."

"With limited troops, the benefits should be maximized, rather than biting where there are benefits!"

"That's stupid!"

"This is the Western Regions, not the mainland, the Ming Dynasty in the mainland can support the use of millions of troops, but the Western Regions can't!"

"The most cost-effective way for an army of 100,000 is to occupy Anyanji, lay down the bitter pot, and close the Western Regions, instead of blindly going west to pick up the so-called benefits."

"Even if you grab the benefits, Daming can't keep it and can't transport it back, what's the use of grabbing it?"

Geng Jiuchou believes that this is a major strategic mistake.

Zhu Ying can't defend herself, if she loses, she loses.

"Geng Shangshu is right."

"But Fan Guang wants to open up another battlefield and share the pressure of the construction of the Western Regions."

Li Bing saw further: "We can't talk about strategic failure, we can afford to lose thousands of people." ”

"It's not a question of how much is lost!"

Geng Jiuchou said with a serious face: "If there is a mistake in strategy, if you don't reverse it in time, the mistake will get bigger and bigger in the future, it's not a joke, it involves a huge amount of materials and soldiers' lives." ”

Zhu Qiyu frowned, listened to the courtiers' arguments, and slowly asked, "What do Geng Qing think should be done?" ”

"Reverse the strategy, give up the westward development, and instead concentrate forces in the Ferghana Basin, strive to take the basin and seal the Western Regions."

After Geng Jiuchou finished speaking, Zhu Ying sneered: "Fergana is full of strong soldiers. ”

"You also said that the capacity of the Ming Dynasty can support up to 200,000 troops."

"And the army in the Ferghana Basin, how many millions?"

"When Da Ming enters, he falls into a big quagmire, it's easy to get in, but it's hard to get out."

Geng Jiuchou argued: "Then it's good to go west?" The capacity cannot keep up, in addition to the increase in casualties, what are the benefits? ”

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "Don't quarrel first." ”

"There is no commander in the Western Regions, the three generals are each in charge, each in charge of one side, Fan Guang's troops are going west, wanting to grab more benefits; Yang Xin wants to get a piece of the Ferghana pie, and it's all a matter of internal affairs. ”

"Victory or defeat first."

"Ladies and gentlemen, who can tell me that I should hit the Ferghana Basin first? Or go west to conquer the wider steppe? ”

This remark caused controversy, and there were those who supported either side.

"Since you don't know, I don't know, so let's do it and take a look."

"Since it is to explore the unknown, it is inevitable to make some sacrifices."

Zhu Qiyu said: "The Western Regions still maintain the original policy unchanged, make decisions independently, and the center will not be ignored. ”

"But to reprimand Fan Guang, don't go into danger anymore, joke about the lives of elite soldiers, these soldiers are the foundation of the Ming Dynasty's strength, and they are not allowed to be used for experiments casually!"

"You can recruit a group of servant troops locally, and then recruit 30,000 Sauron soldiers, 10,000 Mongolian capital divisions, and then 30,000 Huerha people, with a total of 70,000 troops, to support the Western Regions."

The courtier rolled his eyes, you're too ruthless, aren't you?

"Your Majesty, the elite of Sauron should not recruit too many troops, 10,000 is enough, and 70,000 from the Mongol Dusi and the Huerha people are gathered."

Li Bing is even worse, Sauron's soldiers are elite, but there are few people, so they have to save some use, and the key Western Regions can't use these elites.

The Huerha people can't fight a tough battle, and it doesn't matter if they are consumed.

There were too many Mongols in the Mongol capital, and too few Han Chinese had moved over, so it was necessary to recruit more soldiers and reduce the number of Mongols.

If the Mongolian capital was insufficient, a batch of supplements was levied from Rehe and Ningxia.

"Then order Dostosi to send 10,000 troops, and Uszantius to send 5,000 troops."

Don't want to run the wool one.

Zhu Qiyu said coldly: "Go to the Japanese country to recruit 15,000 Japanese soldiers, gather 100,000, and Yang Xin and Fan Guang will each receive half of them." ”

It is clear that the emperor wants to use blood to dye the way out of the west.

Daming's capacity is limited, but there are many people! The energy is constantly sending troops to this side, consuming them.

"Order the canning factory to produce a large number of iron cans, with a shelf life of more than three years, and equip them with the Ming army."

Geng Jiuchou has a toothache, and the cost of iron cans is extremely high.

Preservatives are also precious, so how much do you have to use?

"Your Majesty, how many are you going to equip?" Geng Jiuchou asked in a low voice.

"Two hundred thousand."

Burst!

Geng Jiuchou closed his eyes: "Your Majesty, how much is the old minister's body worth?" You sold the minister! ”

"Picker?" Zhu Qiyu was unhappy.

"Your Majesty, your mouth is 200,000 tin cans, do you know the cost? The cost of this tin can can buy a Japanese slave! You can buy three Indian slaves! ”

"200,000, let's buy 600,000 Indian slaves, kill and bleed, and turn the Ferghana Basin into a sea of blood, okay?"

Geng Jiuchou was even more unhappy: "200,000 iron cans, enough for how many people to eat?" How many days will you eat? ”

"You just piled up the west side with corpses, okay?"

Zhu Qiyu touched his beard: "Let the cannery's quotation be lowered, and the center is to purchase in large quantities." ”

"Stop!"

Geng Jiuchou said: "Let's just say an iron box, the factory cost is three cents, what about the meat?" A box of meat costs three cents, right? Preservatives, get three cents, right? That's a dollar! As for the cost of the cannery, let's calculate less, and we have to pay three cents, two for a piece. ”

"The cost of a tin can is two pieces."

"Let the canneries not make money."

"The hub comes to transit, and it doesn't make money, if you don't go far, you can transfer it from Chang'an to the Western Regions, don't count the cost, you have to have five pieces of money, right?"

"It costs two dollars and seven, and a box of tin cans."

"You let them eat three dollars a meal? A human life is not worth three dollars! ”

Zhu Qiyu squirmed his lips, it was indeed a little high.

Locally produced canned meat, which is sold in glass bottles, is also sold for two yuan, clay pots are cheap, five or six a piece, canned fruit is cheap, glass bottles are one dollar, and clay pots are three or five cents.

Otherwise, this thing is the first choice for gifts during the New Year's holidays.

Don't think Da Ming is expensive, Da Ming exports to Europa, and a bottle of canned meat sells for ten yuan!

If the order is signed for ten years at one time, the payment will be made before the goods.

The supplies to the royal families of the European countries were all made of custom-made porcelain, and a bottle sold for 200 yuan, and the supply exceeded the supply.

This is Daming's fist export product.

"I didn't say it." Zhu Qiyu softened.

Geng Jiuchou immediately handed the emperor the steps: "Your Majesty, your love for the people and the ministers can understand it, but this is a luxury, let's just say that the old minister's family can't eat all the time, and whoever eats all the time has to eat poor." ”

It seems that the emperor never eats.

The courtiers suddenly found a problem, the emperor never ate canned food, did not eat any canned food, and it seemed that the emperor did not eat pickled products.

The emperor only ate fresh, and did not touch the out-of-season food.

Why?

"Sun Qing, this matter will be handed over to the Ministry of War, you can get an idea, I can't ask." Zhu Qiyu looked at Sun Yuanzhen.

Sun Yuanzhen led the order.

At the end of the court meeting, the courtiers returned to the yamen.

Zhu Qiyu also began to watch the music.

During the meal, Feng Xiao whispered: "Emperor, Gonggong Xu has found out." ”

As he spoke, he handed over a note.

Above are a few names.

"Verify it, put it to death, and don't make a noise." Zhu Qiyu thought about it for a long time last night and decided to try to suppress it as much as possible.

"The slave obeys." Feng Xiao took the order and left.

Zhu Qiyu squinted: "In the afternoon, announce the princes, I will take the school homework test, no need to announce it, I will go to the Wenhua Palace." ”

After eating, Zhu Qiyu went to the Wenhua Palace.

At this time, just after twelve o'clock, the princes should take a lunch break, eat for half an hour, and the lunch break should be about half an hour.

Zhu Qiyu walked into the Wenhua Palace, there was no one in the hall, and books were neatly placed on the desk, which was quite well-behaved.

He picked up a book casually and saw how well the princes read?

At the end of the lunch break, the princes walked into the Wenhua Hall with a smile and a smile, but when they saw their father standing there, they were all scared.

They all knelt on the ground, please be safe.

The eighth Zhu saw that his father was watching his homework, and cold sweat flowed down his forehead, and he drew a little Wang Ba on the paper today.

Zhu Qiyu glanced at it, and the sixteen princes knelt on the ground.

The fourth child went to Tongzhou to ask for guilt.

"It's a good drawing." Zhu Qiyu looked at the eighth child with a faint gaze.

The eighth child suddenly shuddered: "The son is naughty, and he begs his father to surrender." ”

"It's very childlike to paint, what kind of crime?"

Zhu Qiyu sat in the position of the eighth child, and found that he was under the cushion, and also drew a little Wang Ba: "Like Wang Ba so much? ”

The princes laughed.

The eighth child wanted to die, and replied with a red face: "Erchen didn't." ”

"Why don't I give you a king, and you follow the painting?" Zhu Qiyu seemed to be smiling.

The princes were about to burst out laughing.

The eighth is also bad: "Father, the ninth is also painted!" ”

Lao Jiu Zhu saw Zhu's little face flushed: "It was the starling brother who drew it in my book, not me!" ”

Lao Ba walked over on his knees and showed his father Lao Jiu's notebook: "Father, look, this is painted by Lao Jiu." ”

The ninth wants to rob, the eighth is stuffed to the emperor first, and then comes back quickly, and the main one is gone.

Zhu Qiyu almost laughed when he saw it.

The eighth king painted by Lao Jiu, there is a small face on the shell of the eighth king, like a big spider, but if you look closely, how does this face look like the eighth child!

The main thing is that the mole on this person's face is exactly the same as the mole on Lao Ba's face.

Zhu Qiyu was even worse, holding up the two paintings: "Look at it, who painted it well?" ”

When the princes saw it, they laughed directly.

The fifth Zhu Jianhu pointed at the eighth: "The ninth is you, hahaha!" ”

The eighth can see it at a glance, that face is black, I was kind enough to teach you to draw, but you painted me? Not a son of man!

"Starling, I really didn't draw you, you have to believe me." Lao Jiu whispered.

This kid is wilted.

At this time, Liu Daxia, the master of this class, came in, saw the princes laughing, frowned, and then knelt on the ground to salute the emperor.

The princes had four classes a day, each lasting two hours, and the four teachers took turns to give them lectures, and the courses were set by the teachers.

Occasionally, classes were suspended for one day, and important ministers such as Nian Fu, Geng Jiuchou, and Wang Lai gave lectures to them, while the teachers of the Hanlin Academy suspended for one day.

Seeing Liu Daxia, the princes all laughed, Liu Daxia had a stinky face all day long, don't look at his age, but the teacher's frame is huge.

"Liu Daxia, tell me, this prince draws the eighth king on the notebook, what should I do?" Zhu Qiyu looked at Liu Daxia.

"Weichen thinks that he should hit the board ten times to set an example."

Liu Daxia said coldly: "And laugh in class, ten more hits, laugh and naughty with my father, don't understand the rules, I should hit ten more times, a total of thirty hits!" ”

The princes' faces turned white.

Energetically give the emperor a look and let the emperor intercede.

"Let's fight, then." Zhu Qiyu is also happy to watch the excitement, just a happy person.

"Wechen obeys!"

Liu Daxia kowtowed respectfully, then took out the ring ruler and walked to the prince.

The prince is still kneeling.

He knelt directly opposite the prince and said coldly: "Take out your hand." ”

"You are the prince's teacher, how can you kneel down for your students, get up." Zhu Qiyu is even worse and digs a pit for Liu Daxia.

Waiting for the prince's wings to harden, how to clean you up.

The corners of Liu Daxia's lips twitched, but he still gritted his teeth and stood up.

The princes, including the crown prince, knelt in front of Liu Daxia, and Liu Daxia did not spare his hands at all, and beat them hard.

Except for the eighth child, everyone else feels wronged, Mr. Liu is unfair, and I will kill you when I am strong.

Zhu Qiyu is a fun person.

His son was beaten, and he was still laughing.

After finishing the prototype, Liu Daxia said seriously: "Delay for 20 minutes today, end class 20 minutes late, and double the homework." ”

The princes wailed, we were beaten with a handboard, how can we write?

Liu Daxia didn't care about that, and replied to the emperor.

The emperor had no intention of leaving, he sat directly in the teacher's seat and began to give a lecture on how to transport grain.

This is unusual, I thought that Liu Daxia would talk about some theoretical knowledge of fake big air, but I didn't expect Liu Daxia to talk about specific operations.

There are people who have transported military rations, and they definitely can't tell the Tao inside, so they say that Zhu Qiyu, if he hadn't watched thousands of songs every day and accumulated over the years, he wouldn't know how to transport grain.

Liu Daxia spoke in a good way.

The princes listened carefully, don't look at Liu Daxia as an old-fashioned person, but the lectures are not old-fashioned at all, quoting scriptures, humorous, from military food to marching, and finally talking about governing the country, and finally exhorting the princes to cherish food.

Zhu Qiyu understood that Liu Daxia was begging for an official.

He didn't want to be trapped in the center, but wanted to be released as an official.

After listening to it for a while, Zhu Qiyu left, he didn't have time to listen to these little things, and when he entered the Heart Cultivation Palace, he told Feng Xiao to let Liu Daxia come over after class.

At half past two, Liu Daxia came to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

After saluting, seeing that the emperor was busy, he sat on the brocade pier and waited for the emperor to handle official business.

Zhu Qiyu asked him while watching the music, and Liu Daxia replied with a straight answer.

"I can't bear to leave the center."

Zhu Qiyu closed the music and stood up: "I am very relieved to have a strict teacher like you to teach the prince." ”

Liu Daxia knelt on the ground and admitted calmly: "Weichen is guilty of asking His Majesty for an official under the pretext of teaching!" ”

Today he is not talking about transporting grain, but when he saw the emperor here, he deliberately showed his talent and sought to be released by the way.

"Oh, it's a good thing that you have a self-motivated mind."

"Who wants to take care of a bunch of stupid kids."

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "It's good to go to the place, the place also needs a capable minister like you, where do you want to go?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the princes are all smart and learned, not stupid, Weichen as a teacher, and His Majesty's protection, this is the work of the dragon."

Liu Daxia said bluntly: "But Weichen is unwilling to succumb to the Feng Pavilion. ”

"Your Majesty has always said that the prime minister starts from the state pastor, and the micro-minister is willing to start from the locality, and is unwilling to accept the favor of the prince, and steals the center and makes people laugh."

Those who dare to say this are all talented.

Zhu Qiyu admired this guy a little: "Your tone is bigger than Xu Jin, when Xu Jin was discussing with me back then, he said that he was going to be in the picture." ”

"Okay, since you have this ambition, I will give you a chance to see if you are my prime minister, or a foolish fool, pick a place!"

"Wechen is willing to go to the Western Regions." Liu Daxia said seriously.

"The Western Regions are bitter, the people are governed, and the war is continuous, you are so thin, can you resist the wind and sand in the Western Regions?" Zhu Qiyu teased him.

"Wechen is not afraid of hardship, I just ask Your Majesty to give Wechen a chance to show his talents!" Liu Daxia said.

"Northern Xinjiang is under construction, it's not too hard, but there is no danger in the deserts everywhere in southern Xinjiang, go to Western Xinjiang, under Fan Guang."

Zhu Qiyu gave him a hellish difficulty.

Liu Daxia gladly accepted.

This is a smart man.

As soon as the emperor disposed of the officials of the Zhan Mansion, he immediately asked for release, making it clear that he did not want to enter the whirlpool.

is a capable minister, fulfill him.

As soon as he left, Feng Xiao whispered: "Emperor, I know that the clues of the supervision seem to point to him. ”

"He's not from Zhan Shifu."

Zhu Qiyu frowned, Liu Daxia is extremely smart, and he is a staunch Wenchen faction, he will never succumb to the imperial power, but it is possible.

"The emperor, it may not be an official of the Zhan Mansion who will do it." Feng Xiaodao.

Zhu Qiyu sneered twice: "Give him a chance, let Fan Guang take care of him, if he makes meritorious achievements, he will offset his merits." ”

In the evening, Concubine Chen led the eighth child to ask for sin.

"Lao Ba draws a picture in his spare time, what kind of crime is it?" Zhu Qiyu looked at Concubine Chen, Concubine Chen was Chen Xianzhang's daughter.

Concubine Chen breathed a sigh of relief, she first led the eighth child to Concubine Qin's palace to ask for guilt, who asked this kid to confess his younger brother Lao Jiu.

Concubine Qin is Qin Hong's younger sister, the mother of the old nine Zhu Jianzhu, the old sixteenth Zhu Jianzhe, and the old twenty-fourth Zhu Jianxi.

The eighth child knelt on the ground as if he was angry: "Erchen shouldn't paint when he was studying, and he shouldn't confess his younger brother, Erchen knows that he is wrong." ”

"It's okay, just make Wang Ba look better in the future." Zhu Qiyu said.

The eighth child cried directly.

He is the eighth oldest, and the brothers secretly call him the eighth king.

"Your Majesty, what do you say!" Concubine Chen was in a hurry, she could think that her son was going to be laughed at by her brothers to death.

Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but smile: "What I said is the truth, Feng Xiao, is the golden turtle ready?" ”

Feng Xiao couldn't hold back and smiled.

The old man really cried.

Concubine Chen didn't know why, she also wanted to laugh, but her own son was crying, and she pulled her son up: "Go back and burn that Wang Ba, don't paint anymore!" Don't teach others to draw! ”

Zhu Qiyu turned his face away, and his shoulders twitched.

"Your Majesty wants to laugh, so turn around and laugh generously, and kill your son's joke!" Concubine Chen didn't have a good air, I wanted to laugh too!

Zhu Qiyu turned around innocently: "I didn't laugh?" Aifei, you seem to be smiling! ”

"No concubines!"

She immediately pulled the eighth child out.

The eighth child received 10,000 critical hits in his heart, and his father laughed when he laughed, how could his mother laugh?

"Give me the golden turtle." Zhu Qiyu added, and then burst out laughing.

The eighth child stumbled, and his tears became even more fierce.

Concubine Chen wanted to scold her son for being embarrassed, but when the words came to her mouth, the corners of her mouth curved, I also wanted to laugh, I couldn't hold it back!

"Mother!" The eighth child just raised his head and saw his mother who was smiling, and his mentality collapsed.

"Go back to the palace, shameful thing!"

Concubine Chen feels that the trumpet practice is wasted, and she still has two sons, so hurry up and practice the new trumpet.

On the way back to the palace, I saw a lot of palace ladies looking at her with wrong eyes, and it was clear that the matter of the old eight painting Wang Ba spread, and she felt that her face was dull, so she went back and picked up the old eight.

She is Chen Xianzhang's daughter, Chen Xianzhang started a sect over the years, and has become the first person in contemporary science, as Chen Xianzhang's grandson, the eldest did not inherit a little literary literacy, but was very stubborn, followed by the fourth and fifth, naughty and mischievous.

She was angry in her heart, and she beat her harder, and the eighth child cried all night.

July 18.

Chen Jiayou entered the palace to meet him, and he was about to go to England.

"But I can think about it, I will allow you to regret it!" Zhu Qiyu looked at Chen Jiayou and asked.

"Weichen has no regrets, and is willing to go to England for His Majesty!" Chen Jiayou has a firm attitude.

"You go to England, unlike in India, I can send troops to you, Britain can't, you are just an envoy, the treasure ship of the Ming Dynasty can't go to the UK, you have to be a Portuguese ship."

"You will inevitably be bullied along the way, and you will have to worry about your life."

"Are you sure, are you still going?"

Zhu Qiyu didn't scare him, the British envoy was on a Portuguese ship, and the Ming and Portugal were blood feuds, and the mission must have a hard time.

Chen Jiayou knelt on the ground: "Weichen is not afraid of hardships or difficulties, and will bring good news to His Majesty." ”

Zhu Qiyu patted him on the shoulder: "It's difficult to get out, it's difficult on the road, and it's hard to get to the UK." ”

"But when Da Ming gets the chart, he will no longer be angry with Portugal!"

"Chen Jiayou, if you are angry, bear it first, sooner or later, I will destroy Portugal and avenge you!"

"I won't have to wait long."

"The land where the king of Chu is a vassal is near Portugal, and if the king of Chu takes the fief, he will be able to use troops against Portugal!"

"So along the way, you should be patient for the time being, don't be afraid to spend money, give Portugal more benefits, and get it back with interest in the future."

"If something is wrong, you can live in England for the time being, and I will allow you not to come back for the time being."

"At the latest, the Ming army will appear in the Mediterranean."

Chen Jiayou choked up and thanked him.

After a few more words, Chen Jiayou left the palace, and the next time he came back, he didn't know how many years would pass.

In the past few years, the Ming Dynasty and Portugal have had wars, and there have also been cooperation, and cooperation is greater than war, after all, they have the nautical charts and are the coachmen of the sea.

Now that the Anglo-French War has ended, the two countries will soon move troops against Spain and Portugal, forcing them to hand over the chart.

At that time, Daming will be able to take the opportunity to master the nautical charts that pass through Africa.

Before that, if Zhu Jianshen wanted to master North Africa and establish the Chu Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty's troops would go directly to the Mediterranean, and it would be impossible for Western Portugal not to hand over the sea charts.

And Zhu Jianshen can be a transit point for Sino-European trade, which is much more cost-effective than transferring from the Ottoman medium.

Ottoman peeled in the middle, making money on both sides.

Not only the Ming Dynasty was dissatisfied, but the extremely high prices in the countries of Europa were caused by the Ottomans, and Europa was also extremely dissatisfied.

Even sometimes the declining Timurid Empire came out to make peace, and the Ming Dynasty was angry.

Therefore, the Ottoman mountain must be lifted.

Geng Jiuchou's plan was to open up India, let the Ottoman and Europa countries enter India to divide their interests, and jointly develop India.

As long as Europa has enough interests in Asia, they will dare to turn the tables with the Ottomans.

The Ming Dynasty was able to dig meat from the Ottomans, and the kingdom of the King of Chu was built.

This year, in order to appease the Ottoman Empire, the Ming Dynasty imported a large amount of oil from the Ottomans, just to tie up the Ottomans with economic interests.

Let Osman allow the king of Chu to succeed the vassal.

The king of Chu was chosen for the Gulf of Aden, a small piece of territory, that is, Somalia, which was not Ottoman territory.

But if Da Ming wants to go in, he must give Osman enough benefits before Osman can agree.

Honglu Temple has already formed a mission to negotiate with the Ottomans.

"Xie Qian, what do you think of Ottoman?" Zhu Qiyu suddenly asked.

Xie Qian was on his side, and immediately replied: "Weichen thinks that the outside is strong and the middle is dry, the territory is too large, there are many nationalities, and there is not even a unified writing and language, but it is just pressed by power, and if the power is not there, it will collapse." ”

That's right, Osman was like a gluttonous fat man.

Crazy encroachment on the land.

But I forgot that I would have indigestion.

The Ottomans are a bit like the Great Qin, using the military merit class to encourage external expansion, and once they stop expanding, they will immediately collapse.

But it's not Great Qin, Great Qin collapsed too quickly, and the Ottomans didn't collapse too quickly because of the theocratic system, so it wouldn't collapse quickly.

"Wechen thinks that the most terrifying thing about the Ottomans is the demagogic sect."

Xie Qian said: "The reason why the Mongol Empire was able to expand in disorder is directly related to this sect, which is full of radical and expansive doctrines. ”

"However, the Mongol Empire was also too powerful to fall apart."

"It's the same with Ottoman."

"Actually, there is another reason, which is that there are no powerful countries around the Ottomans."

The same cannot be said either.

Whether it is strong or not is a very subjective opinion, Daming has not competed with them, and he can't tell whether he is strong or weak.

Anyway, the Ottomans are not strong at sea, and the Ming are not strong at sea.

Whether it is strong or not has to fight to the mainland, when encountering the Ming army in the Western Regions, Timur and the Golden Horde both think that the Ming Dynasty is not strong, and they can fight in the interior and try again!

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the main reason for showing the strength of the Ottomans is the decline of the Timurid Empire."

Wang Hua, who was on the side, spoke: "The decline of the Timurid Empire made the Ottomans invincible. ”

"If I am clear, I will take Sri Lanka from the east."

"Take the north of Africa from the west."

"The Ming forces have caught the Ottomans in the middle."

"If the dynasty can take advantage of the decline of the Timurid Empire and tear off a piece of fat, then the Ming Dynasty can surround the Ottoman Empire in the north, east and west."

"When the time comes, whether the Ming or the Ottomans are stronger or weaker, you will know if you try."

Wang Hua said with a smile: "Weichen thinks that Da Ming is strong enough. ”

Zhu Qiyu clasped his hands around his chest and looked at the map: "Zhuqing, can Daming grasp the world situation?" ”

Xie Qian was stunned.

"Since the Zhou Dynasty, the dynasty has been called China, and it is the country in the middle of the world."

"Now the country is strong and prosperous, and it is the hegemon of the world."

"But the dynasty has never interfered in the internal affairs of the world."

"I've always wondered, what is a strong country?"

"Do you have to be a strong Qin, go out of the Han Valley in the west, and destroy the six countries, is it a strong country?"

"I think a soft knife is more useful than a hard one."

"To demonstrate a strong country, it is not only necessary to have a strong army, but also to have strong diplomatic capabilities, strong economic strength, and strong political capabilities."

Zhu Qiyu said slowly: "With these three points, the Ming Dynasty can influence the situation of all countries in the world and become the real hegemon of the world." ”

Why does the sun never set?

It's not that the military strength is strong, but the political skills are high and the political vision is outstanding!

They can stand on the standpoint of the overall situation of the world, advance or retreat, unscrupulously interfere in the internal affairs of various countries, and turn countries into chickens that lay eggs, and he comes to collect the eggs, and the countries that are harvested have to say, thank you.

Lao Mei also continued to bring Britain to political vision, so that he sucked blood all over the world.

Da Ming's diplomatic skills are really very bad.

Except that a threat is a threat.

looks like he's on top, or he'll start fighting, like a flat-headed brother.

Sooner or later, you will play yourself to death.

Why does Obihide play diplomacy? Because Europa is not a unified country at all, just like in the pre-Qin period, diplomats Yan Ying, Zhang Yi, Su Qin, Fan Ju, Lin Xiangru, and Mao Sui, are they few?

The Ming Dynasty is small and rich, and likes to live behind closed doors.

As a result, the strategic vision is inherently inferior, and the country is a great unification, and the surrounding countries are all weak, so there is no need to cultivate strategic vision at all.

And the reason for this kind of character is also determined by the external environment, there is no strong enemy outside the Ming Dynasty, there has been no since ancient times, all are weak chickens, all are junior brothers, there is no need to cultivate diplomatic ability at all, and the unification of the interior will be invincible.

It is different with the British, they are an island, and without diplomats, they will be trapped on an island.

Another point is that Europa is more like the pre-Qin of the hundred schools of thought, on the road to unification, the discovery of the Great Voyage, the slightest deviation from the trajectory of history, unexpectedly changed the world pattern.

China was 2,000 years earlier, and there was no great voyage, so it directly transitioned to the era of great unification, and it was repeatedly feudal for 2,000 years, one reincarnation after another.

Europa is two thousand years late, picking up a big bargain, and the emperor takes turns to do it, and the overlord takes turns.

"Your Majesty, isn't the overlord the strongest in the world, and everyone in the world knows it, is it okay?" Xie Qian didn't turn the corner.

The Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, the Northern and Southern Dynasties, if it is strong, it will be strong, how is it?

"Then what's the point of this strong?"

Zhu Qiyu asked him with a smile: "How to show the strength of a country?" Is the land big enough? Is the population large enough? Or is it richer than whom? ”

Wang Hua was stunned and said: "If a country insults the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty can send troops to destroy it." ”

"And then?"

Zhu Qiyu asked him: "For example, the Ming Dynasty is here, and Portugal bullied the Ming Dynasty, how can we destroy him?" ”

Wang Hua was speechless.

Xie Qian pondered for a while: "Your Majesty means diplomacy. ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "It's diplomacy." ”

"All disputes in this world cannot always be resolved by force."

"There was no such thing in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Qiang Qin has always conquered by force, and the final result is the death of the second, and now the whole world cannot be like that."

"And the previous tributary system can't be used, it's not in line with this era."

"Use diplomacy."

"The Ming Dynasty is the world hegemon, so he must guide the world and control the world."

"But what?"

"War is only a part, a very small part."

"In the end, we have to return to the negotiating table, and diplomacy has become the most important part, and it is best to use diplomacy to solve the problem when the war does not happen, so as to save the people and money."

"Diplomacy, to master the ways and means, how to ensure the interests of the Ming Dynasty, how to maintain the demeanor of the Ming hegemon, how to solve world affairs?"

"It's all about diplomacy."

Seeing Xie Qian and Wang Hua stunned, Zhu Qiyu smiled and said, "To put it simply, you have made a fortune, do you still want to walk in brocade clothes at night?" Will you? ”

To put it bluntly, if you have money, you don't pretend to be rich, and you feel uncomfortable.

When a country is rich, it has to pretend to be everywhere, and it has to take advantage of it everywhere to show its sense of existence.

A name appeared in Xie Qian's mind, Diplomatic Theory!

He and Wang Hua glanced at each other, and they both saw the blazing flames.

Diplomacy.

This is a new direction, and no one has ever thought of using diplomacy to resolve international disputes, and using diplomacy to dominate the world.

The manifestation of the hegemon of the world is to govern the countries of the world.

"Now there is only one Ming Dynasty, and there will be countless feudal countries in the Ming Dynasty in the future."

"Could it be that the contradiction between the feudal country and the feudal country, Da Ming doesn't care? Or do you have to send everything to the center and let me take care of it one by one? ”

"Diplomacy is a thing that must be mastered, and it must be mastered well!"

"This is the specific manifestation of Da Ming as the hegemon."

Zhu Qiyu's words were deafening.

Xie Qian and Wang Hua want to check the information and rack their brains to write a diplomatic theory, and they can accompany the sages with this article!
