Chang 'an.
It was the political, economic, and cultural center of China for more than a thousand years. Twenty-one dynasties and governments had established their capitals here, and it was the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties. Among the many dynasties that established Chang 'an as their capital, the Zhou, Qin, Han, Sui, and Tang dynasties were all prosperous periods in Chinese history. At that time, Chang' an had already become an international metropolis.
Zhu Biao had received Old Zhu's order and had been patrolling the west for several months.
In the past few months.
Zhu Biao visited every area in Chang 'an, but the results were disappointing.
Chang 'an was in a state of desolation, and more importantly, it was extremely short of water.
The soil and water were also extremely eroded.
As a result, it was no longer suitable as a capital city.
In Zhu Biao's opinion, this place was no longer suitable to be the capital.
As for his younger brother, he heaved a sigh of relief after realizing that there was no major problem.
On this day.
Zhu Biao walked on the road.
Officials followed behind him.
But at this moment, Zhu Biao felt dizzy.
Then, he felt light-headed.
Bang! His figure instantly fell to the ground.
In an instant, the people behind him were shocked.
"Crown Prince!"
"Your Highness!"
Cries of surprise rang out continuously.
Everyone could not help but be shocked, and then they fell into panic.
Soon, the Crown Prince was transported to the city.
And the matter of the western tour also ended here.
At this moment, history inevitably went down its original path.
During his tour to the west, Prince Zhu Biao was infected with a cold.
Old Zhu summoned Zhu Biao back.
To the entire Great Ming, no one knew that Crown Prince Zhu Biao's life was coming to an end.
Even Zhu Bai, who originally knew about it, didn't pay much attention to it after reminding Zhu Biao.
In his opinion, a cold was just a minor illness. If he could pay attention, there was a high chance that this kind of thing could be avoided.
However, he had forgotten that a cold was a minor illness in modern times. In ancient times, it was not a minor illness, but an existence that could kill.
Even if Zhu Biao did pay attention to his warning, it would be hard to avoid it.
After all, Crown Prince Zhu Biao's body was already severely exhausted.
Being used by Old Zhu as prime minister all year round, the energy and physical strength consumed was unimaginable.
With the addition of the cold, the result was obvious.
Of course, even though he wasn't sure about his big brother's situation, Zhu Bai had already begun to make preparations.
Because he had already considered the possibility of history being revised.
He had no choice but to take into account the experience of Wang Mang, that transmigrator senior.
This was also the main reason why he had to deal with Chen Zuyi this year.
After dealing with Chen Zuyi, the entire Southeast Asia would no longer be an obstacle for him. He could shift his focus to the south.
Even if Old Zhu went crazy, he would have a way to deal with it.
Towards his own father, Zhu Bai couldn't help but worry.
If his elder brother was around, his father would definitely not have anything to say. Even the Saint Monarch of the ages would not be like this. However, if his elder brother was dead, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a tyrant.
He had to be on guard.
At the same time, Malacca was building a city.
He also began to lay out the surrounding islands.
A large number of farmers moved in and began to develop.
At the same time, he began to send people to the south.
Their goal was, of course, to find Australia.
The first step of his plan was to establish a foothold in Qiongzhou Prefecture and cover the entire Southeast Asia.
When Southeast Asia was covered, his second step would be to enter Australia. With Australia as a base, he would gradually build it as the foundation of his maritime empire.
The importance of Australia was undeniable.
Now that Southeast Asia had achieved radiation, the next step was to find Australia.
Many ships have already set off.
He believed that it wouldn't be long before he found Australia.
Once he found it, it would mean that his maritime empire was about to be completely formed.
Of course, there was still one last step left.
That was to enter the Empire Era.
But they were already very close.
When it was almost the 25th year of Hongwu's reign, his system characters finally broke through 450,000 and reached 500,000.
At this moment, the system finally welcomed the moment of advancement.
"Ding! Congratulations! You have reached 20,000 players. Do you wish to level up to the next generation?”
"Ding…do you wish to upgrade the era? Consumes 100000 gold, 100000 wood, 100000 stone.”
A mechanical voice sounded.
"Upgrade!"
He did not hesitate.
As soon as he spoke, a white light instantly enveloped the entire surrounding empty space.
Not only was this empty space before him, but the entire area under Zhu Bai's rule was covered in white light at this moment.
It was just different from before.
It was not a direct change.
Instead, it began to change imperceptibly.
A few days passed.
There were obvious changes everywhere.
If the original buildings were simple and crude, then at this moment, whether it was the town center, the houses, or even the dock, they were clearly more exquisite.
At the same time, almost all the construction lists in his construction industry were opened at this moment.
Only the technology of gunpowder had not been developed.
And the most important thing for Zhu Bai was one point.
That was, he could build a new town center.
At this moment, he was no longer worried. Once the town center was destroyed, he would be back to the time before the liberation of.
At this moment, even if the city center of Qiongzhou Prefecture was destroyed, he no longer needed to worry.
Because at this moment, he could build more town centers.
And again the town center so he has everywhere continue to develop the foundation of the class.
This was also the key to the formation of the maritime empire.
After all, it was impossible to occupy a place and send people over.
This required an extremely long period of time and energy. He might not have that much time.
Now, these problems no longer existed.
Under the control of the Peasants, a city center was gradually built in the gradually built city at the Strait of Malacca.
After that, farmers started to produce them one by one.
With the participation of these farmers, the construction of the entire city in the Strait of Malacca became faster and faster.
And it was enough to start radiating the surrounding islands.
To the countries of Southeast Asia, the Ming people were like gods, appearing out of nowhere.
In their hands, the city slowly appeared at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye.
Such speed simply made them incomparably shocked.
Many people even treated the Great Ming people as gods.
Of course, there were also people who were jealous and greedy.
When Zhu Bai continued to develop in Southeast Asia, the huge wealth undoubtedly attracted many natives.
These aborigines began to attack the encampment of Baizhu.
Facing the attacks of these people, Zhu Bai did not say anything and slaughtered them all. The people became slaves.
If it was a man, he would sell it to Big Ming. If it was a woman, he would keep it and make it the target of the system character.
In just a short period of time.
It was only the 25th year of Hongwu.
There were no less than 30 stations in Southeast Asia. 500,000 people were divided into these stations and gradually began to occupy the entire Southeast Asia.
Malacca Strait.
Luzon Island.
There were traces of Zhu Bai's forces everywhere.
Especially Luzon Island.
As a land of gold.
Zhu Bai occupied this place almost immediately.
They even sent 5,000 soldiers to enter.
Zhu Bai even personally arrived at Luzon Island in November.
At this moment, the huge Luzon Island was completely displayed on the map.
On top of it, there were pieces of golden minerals that made his eyes shine completely.
In the future, the mineral deposits in Luzon mainly consisted of copper, gold, silver, iron, chromate, and more than 20 kinds of nickels. Copper reserves were about 4.8 billion tons, 1.09 billion tons of Ni, and 136 million tons of gold.
This was the data that had been dug up for hundreds of years. Before it had been developed, this reserve almost made people's eyes turn golden.
Moreover, there were also a large number of open-air mines.
To Zhu Bai, the value of an open pit mine was unquestionable.
This was because they could use the system characters to excavate.
The efficiency of the system characters was not something that others could compare to.
Of course, even if he could use the system characters to dig, he would not be able to do so.
Zhu Bai also did not have the intention of purely using system characters.
In the final decision.
He fixed his gaze on the palace.
In 1390, the Minangabao immigrants from Sumatra established the first country in Luzon's history, the Sulu Sultanate. The country was located in the Sulu Archipelago at the western end of the Medan autonomous region in southern Luzon, as well as in the middle of Basilan Province and Tawi-Tawie Province, Palawan Island, northern Baole, and other islands around the Sulu Sea.
Now, one or two years had passed, and the Sulu Sultanate had made significant progress.
There were about 200,000 people in the country, which was considered a relatively large existence in Southeast Asia.
Naturally, he would not give up such a good labor force.
Moreover, his thoughts might not be a bad thing for the Sulu Sultanate.
Therefore, he quickly issued an imperial edict to let the King of Sulu see him.
