In April, the spring is bright in the South Ocean, the scattered islands are lush and the vast sea is sparkling. On the waterway from Siam to the Ming Dynasty, an extremely huge fleet is slowly sailing towards the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty.

This fleet is as big as a terrifying warship. The outer edge is more than a thousand lucky ships, and the outer edge is more than a thousand lucky ships, arranged in four neat square arrays, guarding around. The inner layer is three square arrays arranged in a triangle shape, guarding the front and back, and in the middle are three huge treasure ships. The middle one is particularly terrifying, with an astonishing length of more than 100 meters, just like an aircraft carrier in later generations!

Needless to ask, this is the flagship Ming Dynasty, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire. It is the largest warship in the world today. None of them, and even the Ming Empire has no plan to build a second ship.

In recent years, this channel has gradually become more busy. Every day, countless Ming merchant ships pass by this channel. Occasionally, some Portuguese and Spanish merchant ships are mixed with them. They are all maritime merchants who travel between the Ming Dynasty and the South China Sea. With the rapid development of the Ming Dynasty, the Nanyang market was almost occupied by the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty's maritime merchants were almost all over the entire Nanyang.

When all merchant ships encountered this huge fleet, they would automatically go around and wait for the fleet to pass. The Ming Dynasty's maritime merchants knew that the hazy and huge shadow of the ship in the middle was the car of His Majesty the Emperor. Some maritime merchants even knelt on the deck with all their crew respectfully, kowtowed towards the direction of the giant ship and shouted long live the mountain. The expression was extremely pious.

Zhu Cijing naturally couldn't hear their mountain cry. At this time, he was sitting in the luxurious conference room and enjoying the gentle cool breeze, looking at the huge world map on the table comfortably.

He was not the only one in the conference room. The queen Qin Mingyue was whispering beside her aunt Qin Liangyu, while Zheng Chenggong was wearing a handsome marshal's uniform and sat straight in his lower left head. There was also a Liu Rushi standing beside him, serving tea and water for them, busy happily.

Zheng Chenggong is now adult, but he did not hold a wedding, but just took Liu Rushi as his side room. With his current identity, he was afraid that his princess would be at least at the level of a princess. It seems that this kid is not disgusted with foreigners. When he is with Princess Anna, he is like a sibling, and he is very harmonious. Maybe he can find a princess from the great powers to marry him!

Zheng Chenggong didn't know that the emperor was staring at the map, but he was thinking about it. He bowed and said in a little puzzled manner: "Master, why don't we take the opportunity to take down the Mughal Empire? Now the Ming Dynasty has almost assembled a million troops in the Nanyang area. It should be easy to take down the Mughal Empire!"

Zhu Cijing did not answer his question immediately, but raised his hand and gently patted his arched hand, blaming him, saying, "How many times have you told you, don't be so rigorous when you are together. Look, you don't have any rigidity in this way, just talk to me."

Zheng Chenggong touched his head and said embarrassedly: "My teacher told the emperor to be respectful."

Zhu Cijing said angrily: "My mentor means that when there are outsiders, the whole family will be casually together. You kid, I didn't see you so rigid when I was a child. Why did you become a different person when you grow up?"

Zheng Chenggong smiled awkwardly and said, "Haha, isn't this going to be sensible when you grow up?"

Zhu Cijiu rolled his eyes and said lightly: "Okay, I don't know you yet, so I'd better be casual in the future, just like when I was a child. Don't pretend to be like an adult. If you are not tired, I feel uncomfortable when I look at it."

Zheng Chenggong relaxed after hearing this, and finally stopped sitting there pretending. He returned to his previous agile expression, approached Zhu Cijiong, and asked curiously: "Master, why don't we fight the Mughal Empire?"

Zhu Cijing then replied lightly: "To avoid a big fight."

Zheng Chenggong was even more puzzled, and he chased and said, "The war? It seems that the Mughal Empire does not have any muskets or artillery. With our equipment, we can completely crush them all the way. It cannot be considered a war, right?"

Zhu Cijiong patiently taught: "Success, the game between great powers cannot only look at the surface or the parts. We must combine the situation and analyze comprehensively. There are no muskets and cannons in the Mughal Empire, but the Netherlands and Britain and France have it."

After hearing this, Zheng Chenggong thought about it, but still asked in confusion: "Will the Netherlands and Britain and France sell weapons to the Mughal Empire? The Mughal Empire is not a small country. If their army is equipped with muskets and artillery, I am afraid that the Netherlands and Britain and France will not be able to defeat it. Will they cultivate a powerful enemy for themselves?"

Zhu Cijing continued to teach: "Have you both Annan and Donghu sold them? Why can't the Mughal Empire be sold? It is naturally impossible to equip all the troops of the Mughal Empire. They only need to sell a few hundred cannons to the Mughal Empire, which is enough for us to bear."

Zheng Chenggong still couldn't figure it out. He said with some disdain: "So what if they have hundreds of cannons? It's just a little more trouble. How can it be possible to rely on hundreds of cannons to block the million-strong army of the Ming Dynasty?"

Zhu Cijiu continued to say patiently: "They can't stop the million-strong army of the Ming Dynasty, but the great powers will help. Once the melee starts, the ending will be hard to say. The Ming Dynasty does not have the ability to go to war with several great powers at the same time."

Zheng Chenggong said with some disgust: "Why are these great powers so annoying? Our Ming Dynasty did not fight to the continent. What does the battle against the Mughal Empire have to do with them?"

Zhu Cijing analyzed: "Why has nothing to do with them? If the Ming Dynasty continues to develop like this, one day it will be so strong that they can't even fight together. How can they tolerate such a super empire in the world?"

Zheng Chenggong seemed to understand a little, and he couldn't help but worry: "What should I do? Let's just forget it, will the Ming Dynasty no longer expand?"

Zhu Cijiong responded domineeringly: "It is impossible not to expand. The Ming Dynasty also cannot tolerate any great powers developing far beyond the Ming Dynasty. I am just giving in temporarily. When they fight with Spain, it will be the day when my Ming Dynasty will expand wildly."

Zheng Zhilong thought about it, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praise: "The emperor was wise and used one hundred warships to provoke a war between the European powers, and then the Ming Dynasty took the opportunity to expand wildly. The gift of these hundred battleships was too worth it!"

Zhu Cijiu proudly pointed to Luzon on the map and said, "I didn't give it for free. This place is much more valuable than a hundred battleships."

Zheng Chenggong couldn't help but continue to praise: "The emperor is so wise. We made a lot of money this time."

Zhu Cijiu ignored his flattery and stared at the map and said domineeringly: "Luzon is just a little bit, and the Mughal Empire is just the beginning. My Ming Dynasty will surely develop into a trembling super empire!"
