This time, Azig and Fulin in the north attacked and killed each other, and the Tang kings in the south competed, and the war caused a large number of refugees.After these refugees were resettled by the Han State, Liaoning outside the Guanxi, Luzon Island in the South Ocean, and Xinmingzhou in the Southern Hemisphere were able to obtain a group of populations.These territories of the Han State will be consolidated, and Zhao Ming does not need to give up the colonies that have already spent a lot of effort and invested a lot of money and material resources to the powerful clans in the country.In the past two years, the Dutch have been very honest in Nanyang and have not made trouble.This is because he was hurt by Zhao Ming, and the second is because he failed in the struggle with the British.Now the former maritime hegemon has gradually declined, and its power has begun to shrink.At this time, in Nanyang, the Dutch power was shrinking, and other Western forces had not yet entered, and the Han became the overlord of this region.In the next time, as long as Zhao Ming resolved the internal disputes of the Ming Dynasty, the expansion in the Nanyang region would be unstoppable, and there was no need to divide this area to domestic forces, resulting in secession.The Americas, South Asia, and Africa, these regions, for Zhao Ming, are beyond the reach of the whip, and if he has no energy to take care of them in a short period of time, he can rely on the powerful forces in China to develop and occupy.Anyway, Zhao Ming only needs an edict to canonize these areas to the Haoqiang clan, and then let them fight and build by themselves, and the Han government does not need to make much effort, and it can also divert domestic contradictions.This matter has become a vassal, Zhao Ming has one more vassal state, and can collect more taxes, but it is not a big loss for Zhao Ming, but it takes the opportunity to weaken the power of the domestic powerful and the big clans, which is conducive to the stability of the empire.Zhang Yida couldn't have imagined that in such a short moment, King Han had so many calculations in his mind.must sigh with emotion, it is really not simple to be a king, and there is a feeling that IQ has been crushed.Zhao Ming bowed slightly: "Yes, it's Dongzhou!"
You are in Nanyang, you should have heard about it from Xiyi!
”Listening to Zhao Ming's narration, Zhang Yida understood that the Dongzhou that Zhao Ming said should be the Americas that the Spaniards said.It is said that it is very large and rich in silver, and in the past, the Spaniards would bring a few boatloads of silver every year, and it was quite a wealthy place.However, it is no better than Xinmingzhou, which has been occupied by Xiyi.This can't help but make Zhang Yida frown, because the Dutch on Xinmingzhou have been driven away by the Han army, and only the natives are left on the land, and he wants to build a city in Xinmingzhou, and he will not be threatened, as long as he transports people over, and then farms, grazes, mines, and develops.Since there is no external threat, the investment pays off, and the risk is almost guaranteed with minimal risk.Dongzhou is different, the Spaniards and the Portuguese have been operating there for more than 100 years, and when he goes there to build a city, it is equivalent to grabbing the territory of Xiyi, isn't that a tiger's mouth pulling teeth?
In fact, the situation in the Americas today is relatively complicated not only by the Spaniards and Portuguese, but also by the British, French, and Dutch.Zhang Yida can imagine that once he landed in Dongzhou, he would wait not only for the bows and arrows of the natives, but also for the muskets and cannons of Xiyi.This is the risk, if he has just established a stronghold, Xiyi will attack it, and once he is defeated, all the investment will be wasted, and he himself may also collapse in the middle way.When you go to Dongzhou, you must not only develop colonization, but also be ready to fight at all times, and the environment is far worse than that of Xinmingzhou.Zhao Ming decided to let Zhang Yida go to Dongzhou, with his own considerations.The Americas have been developed by Xiyi for a hundred years, and if you don't do it, it will be difficult to gain a foothold here in the future, so Zhao Ming wants to gain a foothold in the Americas before Xiyi completely occupies the Americas.The location of the Americas is too advantageous, and the two oceans of the east and west must be divided to avoid the formation of a great power in the future.Of course, Zhao Ming asked Zhang Yida to go, but he didn't have much hope, just a move of idle chess, throwing stones and asking for directions.After all, with Zhang Yida's strength, the probability of being killed is much higher than the possibility of successfully gaining a foothold.Zhao Ming saw Zhang Yida's expression, and his face fell, "What, do you regret it?"
”Zhang Yida's forehead was sweating, he had already said the big words just now, where did he dare to say half a "no", wasn't it a pastime for King Han?"
Don't dare!"
Zhang Yida hurriedly saluted, and then asked again: "The king, the Dongzhou, Spain and Portugal have been entrenched for a hundred years, and the power of the ministers is weak, does the king send the Han army there?"
”If the Han army is dispatched, what else will be built?
If Zhao Ming can send troops by himself, it will naturally be directly occupied by the government, why should he give it to others.It is because the current Han government has no energy that it encourages Haoqiang to go.After all, today, the Han economy is prosperous, and the domestic gentry are big, making money and getting a lot of money, rather than letting them be extravagant and creating social contradictions, it is better to encourage them to spend their money on colonial development.Zhao Ming smiled and said: "Now that the Central Plains is in turmoil, the Han army wants to pacify the world!"
But don't worry, although Lone will not send the Han army for the time being, you can buy weapons produced in the workshop!
”Zhang Yida, who was still excited, suddenly fell to the bottom of his heart, and he always felt that he was so up.Zhao Ming stood up, walked to a picture of all nations hanging in the study, pointed to a place on the west coast of Dongzhou, completely ignored Zhang Yida's mood, and said quite excitedly: "Zhang Yida, the lone king canonized you as the Jinshan Shou, here is a hundred miles away, all of which are your territory." ”With an edict and a piece of land, which is not yet the territory of the Han State at all, it is really cunning to let people pay their own money to expand the territory of the Han State.Zhang Yida forced a smile and saluted: "Minister Jin Shanshou, Zhang Yida thanks the king for the reward, and ten thousand deaths repay the king's kindness." ”Zhao Ming bowed his head in satisfaction, walked back to the table and sat down, and then waved his hand: "Okay, you can go back."
Lone will ask Recao to contact you for the rest of the matter. ”When Zhang Yida left the palace, he was released directly and returned to the dock to join his subordinates.Soon, an official came to Licao, sent a copper seal, two sets of official uniforms, and made him a Jinshan Shou very hastily.This made the accompanying subordinates very excited, Zhang Yida saw this, and did not explain that this Jinshan Shou was actually not a good thing, but forced a smile and told everyone that they had their own cities and fiefdoms.After taking over Zhao Ming's appointment, Zhang Yida could only do it head-on.At that moment, he ordered Zhong Yexian to return to Xinmingzhou and transport all his family to Hangzhou, and then began to buy guns and warships, recruit personal guards, hire Portuguese navigators, and prepare to sail across the ocean to Dongzhou.As a result, Zhang Yida's family funds saved in the past few years were basically used up.In the end, he exchanged all the remaining money for food, and with the determination to become a benevolent if he did not succeed, Yang Fan set sail.()
