"So that's the case!" Sun Chengzong frowned slightly. It seemed that Prince Xin was very different from the rumors.
"Such a powerful cannon was personally designed by His Highness Prince Xin?”Sun Chengzong asked again.
"Yes, Milord."
"That gun…"
"It was also Prince Xin's plan.”
……
Sun Chengzong didn't say anything else. He drank the wine in his cup and stood up." On behalf of the millions of people and the hundred thousand soldiers of Ji Liao, I thank Prince Xin in advance!”
"This lowly one will naturally inform Prince Xin of your sincerity.”Seeing that it was getting late, Song Yingsheng stood up." I need to return to the capital immediately to supervise the production of the mines. I wish you all good luck in defeating the Jian Krupp!”
"My lord…"
Watching Song Yingsheng leave from afar, Sun Chengzong sighed. As the teacher of the Emperor, he had met Prince Xin Zhu Youjian when the Emperor of Tianqi was enlightening him in the Hall of Wenhua. At that time, the little prince was thin and timid, and his talent was average. How could he have such great progress in just a few years?
" Everyone, please take a look. This is the 'Universal Map of All Kingdoms' that I personally drew. My Ming Dynasty is located in the west of the ocean, surrounded by mountains and connected by two rivers. It has a vast territory and thousands of miles of fertile land..."
In the War Bureau's classroom, Zhu Youjian hung the complete 17th century world map that he had exchanged from the system space on the wall. He held a willow branch in his hand and pointed at it.
"This is India, Ceylon, Batavia, Mangala, Franchi, Italy, France, England…"
As if he was a family treasure, he carefully introduced every place on the map. Everyone looked at the map eagerly, intoxicated.
"Your Highness, what is the name of that large piece of land in the middle of the map? Is there anyone living there?”A native of the East Chamber stood up and asked.
"This place is usually called Australia. There are no civilians here.”
"Such a large piece of land, it's even more vast than my Great Ming's territory!”
"Yeah, there must be a lot of wasteland there that can be reclaimed…"
"So our Big Ming isn't the one with the biggest territory…"
The barbarians and soldiers chattered and chattered until the roof was about to explode. Zhu Youjian had to knock on the blackboard hard before everyone quieted down.
"Everyone, those who do not plan for the future are not enough to plan for the time being. Those who do not plan for the overall situation are not enough to plan for a region. Although our Ming Dynasty has a territory of ten thousand miles, ever since Emperor Taizu expelled the Tartar Krupp and recovered China, the population has increased. There are many people, and the fertile land has been divided up. Farmers have no land to cultivate, and the common people have no overnight surplus grain. If this continues, disaster will definitely happen!”
He waved the willow branch and drew a big circle on the map." Southeast Asia, North Ocean, America, Australia, these are the future territories of my Ming Dynasty, and also the future livelihood of my Ming people. Therefore, you should fulfill your duties, study diligently, and be prepared for the coming. When this king gives the order, we will lead our troops south and sweep across the eight wastelands. We will use the swords and spears in our hands to fight for the land of survival for the people of Ming Dynasty!”
"Wherever the sun and moon shine, wherever the river flows, it is Han soil!”
Zhu Youjian's voice was powerful and deafening!
Inside and outside the house, the barbarians and soldiers stood up in unison, raised their right hands high and placed them in front of their chests. They spoke in unison!
"We pledge our lives to follow His Highness Prince Xin, sweep through all countries, and expand our territory!”
Hundreds of voices thundered through the sky!
"Sweep all countries and expand our territory!" Shi Kefa also waved his fists, his slightly dark face tensed up, and his expression was solemn!
"Good!" Zhu Youjian was filled with ambition at this moment!
Great Ming would definitely not be absent from the magnificent Great Voyage Era!
"Reporting to Your Highness, according to your instructions, this servant has already bought a house ten miles south of the city and has already finished decorating it. I wonder what name Your Highness wants to give to this academy that you want to establish?”
In the courtyard of the Eastern Palace, Zhu Youjian took a sip of tea from the maid Little Lian and listened to the eunuch Du Xun's report.
"Let's name it the Capital Region Military Academy! In addition, a notice was posted in the nine cities. The Wubei Academy was recruiting students who failed the examination and scholars. Each person would receive three taels of silver per month. Those with outstanding results would be rewarded separately!”
He thought for a moment and gave the order. Du Xun retreated obediently.
" Your Highness, the coal mine in Mentougou has been bought by this servant. We are recruiting craftsmen to excavate…"
"Your Highness, the iron mine in Miyun has been purchased by this servant at the price of 30,000 taels of silver. Lord Song has already arrived at the mine yesterday and is preparing to install the steam engine…"
"Your Highness…"
With the help of the 400,000 taels of silver, Zhu Youjian bought the Mentougou coal mine and Miyun iron mine around the capital. He also sent Song Yingxing to install the steam engine and prepare for large-scale mining.
War was fought with steel. Before the war chariots moved, steel moved first. If one wanted to achieve great things, one had to make preparations in advance.
Lord Zuo, please take a look. This is my Wubei Academy…"
It was a sunny day. Zhu Youjian brought Zuo Guangdou, Xu Guangqi, Tang Ruowang, Wei Zhongxian, and the others to a secluded place ten miles south of the city. They got off the car and walked slowly along the country road into the huge house that occupied thousands of acres.
"There are gurgling water, birds chirping and flowers fragrance here. It's really a paradise on earth!”Yang Lian raised his head and looked at a tall mountain surrounded by a wall. From time to time, shouts and killing sounds could be heard coming from the mountain.
"It's just that such a quiet place is disturbed by ordinary people. It's really a great spoil of scenery!”The one who spoke was the Minister of Rites, Zhao Nanxing.
