"So, you stay in the capital for the time being, and when the dust settles over there, we will discuss going to sea."

Zhu Xiongying himself is in the best of the best, coupled with the blessing of the brilliant sun and moon murals in the same sky behind him, the outer circle of the whole body shape seems to be sprinkled with a piece of gold dust, which makes people dare not look directly.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

In this way, Ma Sanbao's tone was twisted, if there was anything he wanted to say, he hadn't said it yet,

Zhu Xiongying asked with a smile,

"What? You can talk to me about anything.

You're my own person, I trust you so much, what else do you have to twist? ”

Ma Sanbao thought about it, if His Majesty didn't trust himself, how could he hand over such a big net worth to himself and entrust himself to sail to the sea.

There are so many available people in the court, and Your Majesty is just the most unknown self by name, what is this not trust?

However, Ma Sanbao didn't know that His Majesty chose himself because his talent had been tested by history.

The Ming Navy is invincible in the world, that is to say, the lower limit is covered, although conflicts are inevitable overseas, but after all, it is not mainly to fight, so it is not the same thing to choose a general who can fight to go to sea.

On the contrary, it needs all-rounders who can sail, love it, and are loyal to the saints.

Look at it this way...

(Voiceover, Lao Qi Zhu Rong: Brother Ying, just call me by name!) ）

... Except for Ma Sanbao, who else is me?!

The die-hard soldier Zhu Rong fell to the ground in response.

"The last general will study the theory of sea power written by His Majesty day and night, and what His Majesty said about sea power is greater than land power, and as for saying that sea power is the most important thing in the world in the future, the last general will deeply think so."

Zhu Xiongying nodded when he heard this,

Ma Sanbao continued, "But, Your Majesty, the last general doesn't understand, when he goes to the Western Ocean, how to occupy the sea power for the Ming Dynasty? ”

"Hmm... That's a good question. ”

Zhu Xiongying was very relieved when he heard this, Ma Sanbao was able to think of this, that is to say, he had this idea, and he also knew that he was going to the West this time, not just to do business.

More importantly, to establish the authority of the Ming Dynasty at sea.

But the sea is not like the land, occupy a piece of land, just send troops to garrison, and then develop slowly, you can turn this land into your own territory.

But the sea is difficult to garrison, and the area is vast, how to clarify the Ming Dynasty's occupation of the sea here, Ma Sanbao really can't figure it out.

Zhu Xiongying paused, sorted out his language, and thought about how he wanted to explain this matter to Ma Sanbao.

After a moment, he spoke,

"Three guarantees."

"Your Majesty."

"A few years ago, the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty was flooded with pirates.

The emperor's grandfather beat them as widows, which is to identify the coastal waters of the Ming Dynasty as owned by the Ming Dynasty, and these widows are thieves who operate illegally in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Isn't that right? ”

Ma Sanbao thought for a moment, "That's right." ”

"Then why does the imperial grandfather, not only the imperial grandfather, but also the people of the Ming Dynasty think that the southeast coastal sea is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, after all, there is no actual garrison at sea."

"Uh..."

Ma Sanbao frowned, obviously asked by His Majesty,

He never seemed to have thought about this question before His Majesty asked this,

It is a natural consensus that the southeast coastal sea is the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

No one even discussed why the sovereignty of the southeast coastal waters belonged to the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, its southeast coast is close to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, so it naturally belongs to the territory of the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Xiongying nodded, "You say this is just one of them, but it's not the main reason,

The southeast coastal sea is close to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and naturally belongs to the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

But when you sail out to sea, the sea is so vast that there is no land as far as the eye can see, how can you establish your sovereignty over this sea? ”

Ma Sanbao's brain is not stupid, but he was also asked by His Majesty, which is the core of his question.

This problem is clear, when it goes to sea, it can help the Ming Dynasty establish sea power, and even the Central Plains Dynasty for the first time since the Central Plains Dynasty to expand the territory on the sea.

Zhu Xiongying just looked at Ma Sanbao quietly, he guided Ma Sanbao to think by himself, and was not in a hurry to say the correct answer.

Because it's a mind-building process from scratch,

This problem, in the previous dynasty, is nowhere to be found,

After all, the ancestors focused their eyes and energy on cultivated land, and the Chinese have always been pragmatic, doing whatever is useful, and neglecting the exploration of the sea.

And the awareness of sea power is also relatively thin, just like Ma Sanbao said,

The sovereignty of the Ming coastal waters is only because the southeast coastal sea is the sea area near the land territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the sea power is established because of the land.

and then extend the sea area to occupy, the ancestors did not think about it, nor were they interested,

Because the ambition is not here, even when Zheng He went to the West, the Chinese ship fleet dominated the world's fleets.

Even throwing Zheng He's fleet into the Western Voyage Period is a unique existence,

But navigation in the Central Plains is navigation, and there is no idea of dividing the scope of the sea area.

The difference in thinking made it so that in the most barbaric period of dividing up the sea area, the Ming Dynasty, which had the highest naval strength, did not get a piece of the pie.

There was silence in the Fengtian Palace, and seeing that Ma Sanbao was completely dead, Zhu Xiongying said softly,

"Actually, it's people."

Zhu Xiongying had the talent bonus of the Great Dao Divine Word when he spoke, and this sentence alone made Ma Sanbao feel empowered, and his eyes flashed with a look of understanding and shock,

"It's people?! Yes, it's people! ”

Ma Sanbao said excitedly, "The reason why the southeast coastal sea is the territory of the Ming Dynasty is not only because it is very close to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but also because there are a large number of Ming people in this sea area!"

Because there are Ming people active in this sea area, so this sea area is the Ming Dynasty! ”

Looking at Ma Sanbao's excited hand dancing, the corners of Zhu Xiongying's mouth hooked,

Xiao Xiaozhu did not hesitate to cultivate Ma Sanbao, and the most important thing is that Ma Sanbao is Zheng He.

Zheng, this surname, means too much to the Ming Dynasty.

In the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was Mu Wang Ye in the southwest, and there was a country surnamed Ye in the southeast.

One Mu, one Zheng, never doubt the loyalty of these two surnames to Daming.

Ma Sanbao looked at Zhu Xiongying with admiration, the saint is not very old today, but he has a deep understanding of the world, and can often put forward opinions that ordinary people can't think of, and see things that ordinary people can't see.

It's like the case of the Ming royal family's enshrinement, the case of the North and South candidates...

Not only that, His Majesty still has the ability to solve these dead situations, Ma Sanbao is only a few years older than Zhu Xiongying, according to his own ideas, compared to His Majesty, he is compared to the moonlight, and there is no comparison at all!

Very people and extraordinary things, the existence of His Majesty came into being!
