Zhu Yijun looked at Li Dan with some disbelief: "There are so many?"

At this time, someone next to him said: "Your Majesty doesn't know that the caravan of Li's family has placed an order of 200 ships, and the caravan of Yongnian Bo's family has also placed an order of 100 ships. The rest of the chambers of commerce have also placed a large order. I am ready to request the emperor to build a shipyard."

Zhu Yijun glanced at the person who was speaking. It was Li Bin, the manager of Songjiang Shipyard. Zhu Yijun nodded at him.

In fact, all the merchants in the Ming Dynasty knew that maritime trade made money, but there was no such opportunity before! Now with this opportunity, maritime merchants can be said to have burst out with great enthusiasm. How rich are the merchants in the Ming Dynasty? In the past, merchants also had money, but they were completely incomparable to the present.

Since Zhu Yijun encouraged commerce and started wool textiles from the grassland, the business of the Ming Dynasty has flourished.

It is normal to mobilize a business with a level of one million silver, and large business units are often mobilized at a level of tens of millions of taels.

Not to mention other things, Zhu Yijun restricted the manufacturing of silver coins in the past few years and took back the silver on the market. But now the coin company has opened up manufacturing, even in this way, it can meet the demand on the market. Royal Bank's capital has grown like a snowball. Not to mention other things, the denomination of silver bills is constantly expanding.

In the past, a thousand taels were considered a large denomination, but now ten thousand taels were just ordinary, and a hundred thousand taels were considered a large denomination.

The great development of commerce has driven great economic prosperity, the court's tax revenue has continued to increase, and the Ming Dynasty's national strength has also been continuously improved. Now, there is basically no need to raise supplies to mobilize 100,000 people. The Military Affairs Office has made a decision. The Ministry of Revenue approved the silver and the Ministry of War is responsible for purchasing. The order will be in the hands of the merchant in a few days.

The supplies are transported by merchants, so the speed is absolutely very fast, and the cost control on the road is very low.

Of course Zhu Yijun knew about these things, but Zhu Yijun didn't expect that Li Dan was so rich and placed an order of 200 ships at a time. What did he do?

Seeing Zhu Yijun looking at him, Li Dan was very calm and said directly: "I am ready to go to Southeast Asia!"

Going to Southeast Asia!

After hearing Li Dan's words, Zhu Yijun just nodded slightly, then smiled and said, "It's pretty good."

In fact, Zhu Yijun didn't care whether Li Dan went to Southeast Asia or not, but Li Dan had a good vision, because the court would definitely not stop when using troops to Annan. The next target would definitely be the Old Port Propaganda and Fu Envoy. Once the old port was taken down, the trade gate in the south would be completely opened to the Ming Dynasty.

From this perspective, Li Dan is preparing for going south, and his vision is really amazing.

Seeing that Zhu Yijun was not right, Li Dan felt a little relieved. When he bought so many armed merchant ships, Li Dan was really worried that he would be suspicious of the emperor. Now that Zhu Yijun didn't say anything, this means that there is still room for improvement, Li Dan was naturally relieved.

The reason why Zhu Yijun doesn't care is very simple, because these merchant ships are backward merchant ships and merchant ships that are about to be eliminated.

The steam engine was successfully manufactured. The next step would be a steam-powered iron-clad ship, and it was no longer equipped with such artillery, but a rifled gun. Compared with this kind of warship, the Ming Dynasty's warships are now backward. Zhu Yijun was about to go back and ordered the reduction of the manufacturing of warships and make every effort to build armed merchant ships.

Of course, even armed merchant ships are powerful in this era, especially after they have formed a certain scale.

Zhu Yijun dared not imagine that if 1,600 armed merchant ships were really spread out, what would these merchants do? But it doesn’t matter to Zhu Yijun. Isn’t this the era like this? If you don’t hit me, I will hit you too. Zhu Yijun doesn’t want to care what they want to do, do whatever they want!

Soon Zhu Yijun visited the shipyard and knew it well, and then returned to the temporary headquarters.

"Emperor, Annan's battle report!"

Wei Chao came to Zhu Yijun's side and handed a report directly to Zhu Yijun, with a serious expression on his face.

Zhu Yijun took the memorial and looked at it. There was no expression on his face. The content of the memorial was very simple, that is, the Ming Dynasty had already taken down Lang San and was preparing for the next move. Zhu Yijun thought for a while, and then said: "Issuing the military department to send Zhang Weixian to the south and at the same time, the troops from the six provinces in Jiangnan should be dispatched."

"I will form an army of 200,000 to move south, and let the fleet of the Ministry of Internal Affairs prepare to transport supplies."

You should know that what Zhu Yijun wants is not just Annan. Since he has moved, he will have to move. The land has been opened, so the army can be dispatched.

This time, Zhu Yijun dispatched troops from the six southern provinces to some extent to train troops. Although they were unusable, they could not even be able to fight the south, right? If they could not fight, they would just go to work and dismiss the office and beheaded. At the same time, Zhu Yijun also wanted to use this war to mobilize the enthusiasm of merchants to go south.

Once a large amount of materials moves south, merchants will naturally see the trade route. This is Zhu Yijun using a large army to pave the road for trade.

Zhu Yijun's imperial edict was quickly passed, and Jiangnan suddenly became an uproar. Is it so difficult to fight in the south? So many people need to be drawn? The news came back soon. The Ming Dynasty had already taken Lang Son, the Royal Navy occupied Haiyang, and the two groups were attacked, and the Shenglong Mansion could be taken at any time.

At this time, the emperor sent a large army south, and the purpose was very simple, which was to rebuild the Jiaozhi Administrator.

Of course, some people guessed that Zhu Yijun's other purpose was that the emperor was going to use troops against Mang Yingli.

After Chongqing defeated Yang Yinglong, the troops from Yunnan, Sichuan and Guizhou could be integrated directly into Mangyingli. In the early Ming Dynasty, there were two routes to enter Myanmar. One was from Yunnan Chengxuan’s Political Consultative Office, and there were three routes, one from Tianbu Ma, one from Piedian, and the other from Aguo’s territory, all of which met Jiangtou City, Myanmar.

A mainland self-declared political envoy was launched from Jiaozhicheng, and arrived from Jiaozhi to Jingmai (Baobaidadian Xuanwei Office), and went to Awa via Dongwu (Diwula Xuanwei Office). During the Xuande period, Jiaozhicheng announced political envoy was abandoned. This road has been blocked for many years, and the emperor obviously wanted to open up this road.

At that time, the army will attack each other and directly destroy Mang Yingli. After taking Mang Yingli, the entire Southeast Peninsula will belong to the Ming Dynasty.

After taking over the Southeast Peninsula, the Malay Peninsula and the Philippines are naturally the things in the Ming Dynasty. The next step is naturally to march into Malacca. Of course, many people don’t care about these things. What they care more about is the big order in front of them. The big order of the 200,000 army is a big order that can make many people full.
