Chapter 136 The whole map of Kunyu Wanguo
Zhu Ciyang thought for a while and frowned: "But Jiaozhi is not easy to fight. With the talent of the emperor, can Jiaozhi be seized? The late emperor once sent a large army to occupy Jiaozhi, but the Annan people surrendered and rebelled again, causing heavy losses to our Ming Dynasty royal army and had to withdraw from Jiaozhi."
Zhao Peng also felt that King Fu Zhu Yousong was indeed not capable, so it was almost impossible to get him to take down Jiaozhi. So he thought of someone who could definitely take on this great task: "Your Majesty, I recommend one person, and I will definitely expand my territory for the Ming Dynasty. If I make great contributions, I can be appointed as the prince. This person can take down Jiaozhi and take King Fu to the east of the ocean to expand the territory."
"Who is so powerful?" Zhu Cixuan asked hurriedly.
"Zheng Sen, the Duke of the State, is Zhu Chenggong!" Zhao Peng replied. In the future, the Ming Dynasty will rely entirely on Zheng Sen. Relying on the Zheng family's maritime empire, you can send King Fu to Oceania and occupy that large area of unbordered land. You can also allow other vassal kings to go to North America and grab territory with the Anglo-Saxons.
Once the Ming people established a powerful kingdom in the North American continent, which belongs to China, even if they become independent in the future, they will not be able to deal with the United States established by the Anglo-Saxons. In this way, in the future, there will be no one in this rich land that dominates. The Anglo-Saxons can hide on the other side of the ocean and make profits from the two world wars. Because there is a powerful country with the Chinese people next to them, they can only fight on the North American continent without stopping, and they will not be able to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight and obtain the dividends of the world war.
The cruelty of the Anglo-Saxons was outrageous. After they occupied the land of the Celtics, the Celtics became extinct; after they occupied the territory of the Indians, the Indians were almost extinct; after they occupied the territory of the Indigenous people of Oceania, the Indigenous people of Oceania were extinct.
What do you say is that the bear wants the land but not the people? Isn’t that the Anglo-Saxons still? Who is not better than who is better?
Chinese people are kind, can they deal with the Anglo-Saxons? There is no need to worry about this issue. Chinese people’s kindness is only relative. As long as you leave a way to live for Chinese people, Chinese people are very kind. But the cruel Anglo-Saxons will definitely not leave a way to live for Chinese people on the North American continent in the future. Then Chinese people’s resistance will inevitably be fierce.
In terms of technology, the IQ of East Asians is no lower than that of Anglo-Saxons. Instead, it is a little higher. As long as you give up the supreme Confucianism and open up hundreds of schools, your scientific and technological capabilities will soon be improved. What's more, Zhao Peng has mastered technology that is far ahead of this era in his own hands. Before Zheng Sen immigrated to the New World on a large scale, he can definitely provide strong military guarantees.
As for the cowardly King of Fu, please send it to Oceania. There are no vicious Anglo-Saxons there yet. There are only uncivilized natives. King of Fu is no longer capable, and it is not easy to conquer them?
"But although Zhu Chenggong had a national surname, he killed a king of different surnames. Although the Ming Dynasty was in a chaotic world, he should not be granted a king of different surnames." Zhu Cixuan expressed his objection.
Zhao Peng laughed: "Your Majesty, I promise that you will become the greatest emperor in China's history! Your territory will be far superior to the Tang Dynasty in the future! On the other side of the ocean, there is a piece of land that is no less than that of our Ming Dynasty, and it will also belong to Your Majesty in the future!"
After hearing what Zhao Peng said, Zhu Cilang suddenly became excited and lost all sleepiness: "Brother-in-law, did you not teach Damu to paint a picture of Kunyu and all nations before? I am very ambitious and go, and I will look at it with the pictures of the imperial study room."
The two walked into the imperial study room. Zhao Peng searched for a long time and found a piece of glossy paper suitable for writing with hard pens. Back then, they used rice paper that was easy to absorb water. Glossy paper was generally used for packaging and pasting. However, when using hard pens to draw and write, glossy paper was needed, otherwise the lines of the painting would be blurred. Zhao Peng took out a quill from his sleeve and began to draw a world map on the paper.
Zhao Peng, who was once a soldier king in his previous life, was a basic skill to draw maps. Although his historical knowledge was not very good, his geography knowledge was excellent. Drawing a map was not a problem at all, and the scale was quite accurate.
Seeing Zhao Peng finish painting the entire picture of Kunyu and Wanguo, Zhu Cilang kept praising: "The picture drawn by his brother-in-law is much better than that drawn by the Western monk named Ruowang."
Zhao Peng smiled and said, "Your Majesty has been awarded too much. I am a military general. Drawing a map is the basic skill of a military general. If you don't understand the terrain, how can you fight? I have also seen the full picture of Kunyu and Wanguo drawn by a foreign monk. I only read it once and keep it in mind."
Zhu Ciying still found the problem. He pointed to a "giant island" in the middle of the ocean in the lower right corner of the map and said, "I once remembered that there is no big island here in the Kunyu Wanguo map of Tang Ruowang. Brother-in-law, why did you draw an island here?"
Zhao Peng was stunned: In this era, Westerners have not discovered Australia yet, and the world map drawn by Westerners is naturally empty. But he soon thought of a way to make excuses: "Your Majesty, I once knew an Englishman from the Thais. I heard that there is a giant island in this location of the ocean, which is thousands of miles in radius, and the territory is not inferior to that of our Ming Dynasty!"
"There are such a big island in this world!" Zhu Cixuan opened his mouth wide in shock.
In fact, Zhao Peng knew that this land was not an island, but a continent, called Oceania Continent. Although the Oceania Continent was hanging alone in the ocean, its area exceeded the island's value, so it was a continent rather than an island. But at this time he did not need to correct Zhu Cixuan's view.
Zhao Peng pointed to the north of the New World: "Your Majesty, this place is the New World. The Americans in the mouths of the Thais. The land of the New World is fertile, with gold and silver all over the land. At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the people lacked silver, and the coins of the people were mainly copper coins. Why are they now mainly silver? The Great Floridae transported a large amount of silver from the New World. They used silver to buy Ming ceramics and silk, and then transported them back to various countries in Thailand for sale. The Great Floridae had two routes, one was from the New World to the Ming Dynasty, and the other was from the New World to the Thais. The two routes could transport a large amount of gold and silver every year. The British defended the route with warships. The Queen of England issued a privateer license to their navy, openly supporting the army to plunder the gold and silver treasures of the Great Floridae."
"The English country actually encourages the national army to act as pirates and rob others! There is such a shameless country in the world!" Zhu Cilang snorted.
Zhao Peng smiled and said, "The countries in Thailand are just like the Tartars in the north. They all use plunder as their profession. Even the Great Florida is not much better than the English. The Great Florida's gold and silver are cheated and plundered. There are Indians on the New World, and the locals do not know the goods. The Great Florida can exchange a gold bar with a nail, and a musket can be exchanged for gold of the same weight. The cloth bought from the Ming Dynasty and sent to the New World, the price has increased by hundreds or even thousands of times. From the cloth purchased from the Ming Dynasty and a few copper plates to the Indians, they can sell a high price of a few taels of gold!"
A piece of cloth bought from several copper plates can actually be sold for a few taels of silver. This is almost the same as grabbing.
"Are the new continent really full of gold and silver mountains?" Zhu Cixuan was still incredible.
"Of course," Zhao Peng pointed his finger at the North American location, "especially this place is a chosen country among the people of Taixi. It has fertile land and is inexhaustible for gold, silver and treasures. It is a really good place! Whoever can obtain this place in the future can control the world!"
The chosen country of God is a good place chosen by God. It is indeed a very good place. As long as you control this place, it is vast and rich in resources, and there are two oceans separated from the great powers. Everyone on the Eurasian continent has broken their heads, but they can develop here with despicable development. They will not come out to pick peaches until everyone is exhausted.
