My Daming New Empire

Turkic girls here, Arab girls are very popular.

In the hottest August, the fleet returned from Suez impatiently. Although the wind was headwind during this period, no one wanted to wait any longer after being away from home for three years.

There are only [-] young troops who want to stay behind, and they are reluctant to leave the fleet, but they are not lost, because most of them have bought one or even a few female slaves here, which seems a bit reluctant to leave.

Most of the gunpowder and bullets left behind by the fleet, going back from here, at most, they will only fight at sea.In the absence of a fleet as an opponent of Ming Dynasty, the muskets in the hands of the soldiers were almost useless.

After driving out of the Red Sea with difficulty, the fleet traveled all the way east. When it arrived in Kochi in September, the fleet encountered the fleet sent by Zhu Di to look for Zhu Zhanji.

It was his uncle Mu Xin and Hou Xian who was familiar with the Western Regions who came out with this fleet.

Seeing that Zhu Zhanji was safe and sound, Mu Xin was extremely excited, and heaved a long sigh. "Your Highness, it's a good thing we got the former army here, otherwise, I'm going to go to the West."

Hou Xian couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty doesn't think about eating and drinking for His Highness. On your birthday this year, you were alone in the palace drinking and getting drunk. The next day, I will send someone out to look for you. It's just that I was patrolling Dongying at that time, and no one was there. Leading the fleet and returning to the capital in May, he was sent out by His Majesty."

Hearing such words, Zhu Zhanji's hard heart was softened by the blow.He knelt down facing the east, kowtowed three times before looking up to the sky and said: "Grandpa Lao Huang is troublesome, grandson's trip has lived up to expectations, and opened the gate of Xizhou for my Ming Dynasty."

Although it was a play, at this moment, at least Zhu Zhanji's heart was sincere.

As soon as he returned home, Zhu Zhanji did not stay in Kezhi for a long time. After the fleet was reorganized, he drove all the way to Daming.

It was already early October when the fleet arrived in Star City, which is later known as Singapore.

Fresh water was replenished in Star City. Before the fleet set off, they got news of a typhoon in the north.

Because of Zhu Zhanji's going to sea, almost every island from Daming to Nanyang has set up a contact point, in order to get news of Zhu Zhanji early and send the letter in time.

And these contact points also established a solid foundation for Ming Dynasty to rule Nanyang.

Two days later, Zhang Fu from Jiaozhi in the north sent a messenger to Xingcheng, and the storm has passed.

At this time, the lunar calendar is October, and it will be November in future generations. Even if there is a typhoon, it should pass.

Now the northeast wind is coming soon, if you don't go now, it will become more and more difficult to go.So Zhu Zhanji didn't delay anymore, and with an order, the fleet set sail.

During this time, Zhu Zhanji has been communicating with Mu Xin and Hou Xian who came to greet him, listening to them talk about the changes in Ming Dynasty in the past three years.

Although Zhu Zhanji has been away for the past three years, the industrialization framework he built has not been affected much because of him.

This is mainly because Zhu Di has already reaped the rich rewards brought by industrialization and will not allow anyone to destroy it.

Once the development of industrialization starts, it is a train that cannot stop, driving a turbulent tide.

The Jiajiang Industrial Zone can no longer satisfy the current development of Daming. Because of Zhu Di's laissez-faire, many nobles and local wealthy businessmen have obtained permission to build hydraulic factories.

From Yingtianfu to Songjiangfu, on both sides of the Yangtze River, as long as the water is relatively flat, dozens of industrial areas have been built, with more than [-] factories.

These factories are mainly engaged in pounding rice, grinding flour, weaving, silk reeling, printing, and furniture processing. Steel processing has not been promoted because it is controlled by the imperial court.

However, there are also some clever craftsmen, although they did not see the process of processing gun barrels in the imperial court, they figured out the corresponding process, and now hydraulic facilities drive the processing of circular wheels.

Moreover, the various small-scale mechanical processing extended from this has become a big industry. Most of the wooden wheels of the Daming carriages have been replaced by a structure with an iron ring in the middle and a wood-wrapped outer layer.

But because of Zhu Zhanji's absence, his research institute developed slowly, and it can even be said to have stagnated.

What makes Zhu Zhanji even more distressed is the two banks, because Zhu Di regards the banks as his own purse. Although the development of the two banks seems to be prosperous, they are in jeopardy.

He is an emperor, unruly, and treats the bank as his own money bag.And he took the lead in breaking the rules, so the people below were naturally not so honest.

Although the Daming Development Bank can still provide money for the distribution of official salaries, it is just tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall.

It is said that the hole in the Development Bank is already astonishingly large, and it is just waiting for Zhu Zhanji to come back this time to bring back a large amount of gold and silver to fill the hole.

The development of commercial banks has not been affected by the imperial court, and not many people have clearly reached out.However, due to the lax control of the bank, many nobles and ministers borrowed money from the bank, but they never thought of repaying it, resulting in a lot of dead debts.

In the past three years, Zhu Di transferred more than 500 million taels of funds from the Development Bank, plus the funds originally allocated by the imperial court, more than 1000 million taels, all of which were transferred to the Northwest.

This is to prepare for his expedition to the west!

Zhu Zhanji felt helpless about this. Anyway, his idea was good, but the method was wrong. As a grandson, he could only wipe his ass.

Of course, he doesn't have this obligation for other people. When he goes back, he must check the bad debts and bad debts here. No matter who stretches out his hand, he must return it to me.

For this western expedition, Zhu Di has been preparing for more than three years. In the past few years, a concrete road from Yingtianfu to Jiayuguan in the northwest has been built, and a large amount of grain and grass have been mobilized there.

According to Mu Xin's knowledge, the available war horses of Daming have already exceeded 50 horses. Just for this war, more than [-] war horses were transferred from the Chuzhou Ranch to the northwest.

Let's not talk about people, just these horses, plus the original horses in the northwest, eat countless grains and grasses every day. How many people are needed to mow and transport these grains and grasses!

With Zhu Di's character, Zhu Zhanji suspected that when he returned to Daming, he might not rest for a few days before preparing for Zhu Di's expedition.

The fleet arrived in Champa smoothly, and Zhang Fu and King Champa, who had been ordered to return to Daming to report their duties, greeted Zhu Zhanji and his party here.

Because of returning home, Zhu Zhanji did not go to Hoi An, the capital of Champa, but met King Champa at Xinzhou Port, and accepted the gifts and beauties he gave him.

Champa is now one of the important grain bases of the Ming Dynasty. Relying on grain exports, the Ming Dynasty brings a lot of profits to Champa every year.

Although Zhu Zhanji and Zhang Fu rarely met, they secretly formed an alliance because of the relationship between the imperial concubine Zhaoyi.

Although today's Jiaozhi has not been entrusted to the Zhang family, it is not because Zhu Di is unwilling, but because of the war with Timur.

Speaking of it, Zhu Zhanji dragged him down in this matter. If Zhu Zhanji hadn't used the war with the Timur Kingdom to attract Zhu Di's attention, Zhu Di might have sealed Jiaozhi to the Zhang family three years ago.

But Zhang Fu has no objection to this. After all, the later the canonization, the more help the imperial court will give to this place, reducing the pressure on the development of the Zhang family.

The two set off from Xinzhou Port, which will be Da Nang in the future, and they would meet and chat for an hour every day, and the tacit understanding between the two was getting better and better.

Regarding Zhu Di's expedition, although the two did not say it clearly, Zhang Fu, who was destined to go out with Zhu Di, would become Zhu Zhanji's greatest support in the army.

From Da Nang to Changle, Fujian, it only takes ten days with the wind, but now with the head wind, it took half a month to arrive.

When they got here, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.Although Xinggang is now Da Ming's territory, in the hearts of everyone, only when they arrive here can they truly return to Da Ming.

(Use one chapter to roughly write the trip to Europe, I’m sorry everyone. Because of the blunt turn, it seems a bit flat, and everyone doesn’t like it, which means that I didn’t consider the difficulty of the trip to Europe at the beginning. Since it’s a historical text, I’d better write it well Reform, let’s write about development. The next volume, enter the third volume, the old demon will write well)

Thank you Shan Qingying, see people with lights, I spit out your reward, thank you for your support

Chapter 1 The Greatness of Ming Dynasty

"Father, look at my brother bullying me again. He stole the candy you bought for me in Star City to curry favor with that Trina."

Karsoli turned around and saw his elder son Enke angrily covering the mouth of his younger son Monte, while his daughter Sophia couldn't help covering her mouth with a smile.

A group of companions who also came from Rome also kindly watched the two and a half children fight.

He also noticed that Trina, who was only 14 years old this year from the Celano family, was hiding in his mother's arms with some embarrassment at this time.

In the half year in Egypt, everyone's face has returned to life.For more than three months after boarding the ship, I stayed on the ship every day, eating delicious food, and now everyone's face is rosy.
