"This, this!"
Lan Yu spoke, but her words were somewhat stuttering.
"Lord Taishan, is it absolutely impossible? But Lord Taishan, how big do you think the Nanyang countries are?”
Zhu Bai said with a smile, as if he had already predicted Lan Yu's reaction.
"This!"
"But the countries of Southeast Asia, the larger ones are only the size of a prefecture of our Great Ming, and the smaller ones are only the size of a county. Although the sea is vast, it is only the sea.”
Lan Yu hesitated for a moment before shaking her head.
"Low. The sum of Nanyang may not be as big as my Ming Dynasty, but Lord Tai Shan knows how big it is under my feet.”
Zhu Bai said softly.
This time, he instantly focused. He thought about the land that was almost impossible to see when he was about to enter Australia. He couldn't help but frown.
"This sea corner continent stretches from north to south and from east to west for more than three thousand li. Its range is not inferior to my Great Ming.”
"There are countless continents like this in the entire world.”
"Ten thousand miles to the west, there's a continent. It's the land of India and used to be the land of Buddhism.”
"Further west of the Indian mainland, there is an even vaster continent. Its scope is much larger than India.”
"But this is not the end. Further west is a continent even larger than the world occupied by Meng Yuan.”
"Lord Tai Shan, what do you think of these continents?”
The words were spoken softly. The scene of the world slowly unfolded in front of Lan Yu. Even if it was just a description, Lan Yu felt that her breathing could not help but become sluggish.
He had never thought that the world would be so huge, nor had he ever thought that the world would be so vast.
"Gulp!"
"What do you mean?"
Lan Yu could not help but swallow a mouthful of saliva as she subconsciously asked.
"Your Highness Mount Tai, don't you think it's more meaningful to conquer these places and spread our Ming Dynasty and Huaxia to the ends of the world?”
"Genghis Khan once dreamed of turning everything under the blue sky into a pasture for the Mongolians. How can we not make the land illuminated by the sun and moon our territory?"”
His words were sonorous. This time, Zhu Bai expressed his inner feelings to others for the first time.
Even if it was his cheapskate father, Zhu Bai had never shown it.
These words were undoubtedly the greatest impact on Blue Jade in this era.
At this moment, Lan Yu felt her mind rumble.
He looked at Zhu Bai with a dazed expression, as if he was meeting Zhu Bai for the first time at this moment.
"All the lands occupied by the sun and moon belong to my Ming Dynasty!”
As he muttered to himself, Lan Yu's eyes gradually turned from lifeless to bright.
These words, these words, even just listening to them made Lan Yu's heart surge.
A moment later.
When Lan Yu completely regained her senses.
Zhu Bai bowed slightly towards Lan Yu.
"Lord Tai Shan, are you willing to assist me in building this great undertaking?”
His voice was sonorous and extremely solemn.
At this moment, he also revealed his purpose.
Recruit Blue Jade.
As a top-notch general of this era, a Wei and Huo level existence, Zhu Bai did not want him to die unjustly in that groundless crime.
The blue jade should have had a greater use and a greater future.
The blue jade that could defeat the Mengyuan Empire could be said to be able to defeat any country, any civilization, or even any existence in this era.
Although he had the system and an endless supply of soldiers, he still needed such top-notch talents.
This was also the main reason why he had spent so much effort.
The figure bowed.
Blue Jade's expression kept changing.
In the end, the hesitation in his eyes turned into determination.
"Good boy, looks like I've really underestimated you!”
"Since you say so, I'll risk my life to accompany you, kid!”
"However, there's one thing you must remember. Don't attack Da Ming, I won't help you rebel.”
Lan Yu said in a low voice.
And his words caused Zhu Bai's expression to flash with joy.
"Thank you, Lord Tai Shan!"
"Lord Taishan, don't worry!"
Zhu Bai hurriedly said.
He indeed didn't have this thought of attacking Big Ming, nor did he think of relying on Blue Jade to attack Big Ming.
This was not a problem for him at all.
Recruiting Blue Jade was only to increase the combat power of the army.
The soldiers created by the system were more than loyal, but they lacked agility. It was fine when facing weak existences of the same level, but once they faced a strong enemy, it was easy to cause the problem of a war of attrition.
Although he was not afraid of a battle of attrition.
However, this was the real world after all. A large-scale death was not something Zhu Bai was willing to see.
Thoughts ran through his mind.
He quickly retracted it.
To him, after recruiting Blue Jade, the last problem in his heart was completely resolved.
Then, he quickly gave the order.
He asked the people below to fetch the members of the Blue Jade Family.
Although it was unlikely that Old Zhu would go to Qiongzhou Prefecture to kill someone, he had to avoid any accidents.
Old Zhu had really turned black after his elder brother died.
Zhu Bai didn't want to get into trouble.
This was also the main reason why he wanted to go overseas and even use the excuse of going to America.
Since he had recruited Blue Jade, he naturally had to resolve this person's worries.
After these orders were given.
He then stepped onto the ship.
A few months passed.
It was time to set sail for the voyage that had been delayed.
The target was the European continent.
Twenty-six years later.
Lao Zhu believed that the duties of each department were high and low, and the government affairs were big and small. There was no way to record them in the book. He was afraid that later officials would not know the details of the implementation of duties and administration, so he ordered the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to imitate the system of the Six Classics of Tang Dynasty, from the five governments, six departments and the following departments of the Ducha Yuan, all the affairs of setting up officials and dividing duties were compiled into books.
At the same time, Old Zhu was already considering weakening the power of the vassal kings.
The court had even begun to discuss.
Under such circumstances.
February 25th.
Zhu Bai brought his two wives, Lan Yu, and five hundred sailboats with him as they set off.
Among them, there were more than 300 transport ships, which were filled with a large number of goods. Some were transported from the Great Ming Dynasty, and some were prepared in Nanyang. In addition, there were hundreds of arrow ships and fire-breathing ships that were used as escorts.
This was also the first large-scale voyage in history.
Its influence on the entire world would also return to an unprecedented level.
It might even be called the arrival of an era.
The arrival of the Great Voyage Era.
In the original trajectory, in the middle of the 15th century, the Turkish Empire blocked the land trade between European countries and the East. In order to open up new trade routes to the East, European countries began to set their sights on the sea. Da Gama, Magellan, and Colombo were the navigators who started the era of great navigation in Europe.
The opening of new sea routes and colonial plundering during the Great Voyage Era had a major impact on Western Europe, causing a commercial revolution and a price revolution in the European countries 'economy. A large number of capitalists were formed, thus promoting the collapse of feudal religious systems and the rise of capitalists.
But now, history was different.
This was an era known as the Great Voyage, and it was destined to be started by China.
The future would also be completely different.
The fleet set off from Australia and began to cross the South Ocean into the West Ocean.
In less than a month, the fleet arrived at India's port.
Facing this huge continent, even though Lan Yu was still a little suspicious before, at this moment, she could not help but be completely certain.
"Now, India is already like this!”
Lan Yu sighed and looked at the figures prostrating on the ground.
Due to the influence of Buddhism, India was more or less a mysterious existence to the Chinese, at least to the ancient Chinese.
But now, when they really arrived in India.
Only then did Lan Yu realize that this mystery had turned into sadness.
The people here were not even comparable to the people of China during the Mengyuan era.
It could even be said to be extremely miserable.
It seemed that the lower class would always be the lower class, and the higher class would always be the higher class.
There were no kings or generals here.
There was no equality as Buddhism said. There was only oppression and endless exploitation here.
Of course, Lan Yu only sighed.
He would not sympathize with these people.
Zhu Bai also wouldn't.
At this moment, he even had a little thought in his heart.
However, he quickly shook his head and temporarily ruled out this idea.
For now, it was more important for him to take the lead in building Australia.
As for India, it was better for him not to set foot in this land for the time being.
As for slaves.
Indian slaves, think of the legends in his previous life.
Looking at the scenes that he saw now, he felt that it was better to forget it.
Even the natives of Southeast Asia were better than these people.
After all, the natives of Southeast Asia knew how to work, but these Indians seemed to be waiting for someone.
Such a slave might not even be wanted by others if he gave it to them.
Shaking his head, Zhu Bai stopped thinking about this. He stayed in India for only two days before setting off for the west again.
Zhu Bai was unaware of the turmoil in the royal court and the impending reduction of the power of the Fan Kings.
Even if he knew, he wouldn't care too much. After all, his focus had completely shifted to the south. Qiongzhou Prefecture had almost become an empty shell.
Even if he was cut, it would not affect the bottom of the game anymore.
