I, the grandson of the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, earned 100 million taels at the beginning

In addition to the soldiers of the Fifth Legion, most of the family members are in Daming. With this part of the tie, it is very easy to control the battle outside.

This is not because Zhu Zhangui feels that the other four legions are difficult to control, but that he has other uses for the other four legions.

Beiju Luzhou is about to be developed, and the little pumpkins are still looking forward to planting potatoes there.

In order to prevent these little pumpkins from causing trouble in order to compete for this spot, there must be some arrangements.

Little pumpkin: Are you sure you cut the root, the one who was forced to go there with a knife was voluntary.

"sit!"

Zhu Zhangui patted the stool beside him with a smile, and Qi Yuan saluted respectfully before doing half of his ass.

Zhu Zhangui, who noticed this scene, nodded slightly.

This person is not only very strong in military art and strategy, but also a person who knows the rules and obeys the rules. As long as such a person is trained well in the future, he will definitely become an important general of the imperial court.

Even Zhu Zhangui was thinking in his heart that if this person did not make any major mistakes in the future, it would be a good choice to hand over all the Marine Corps to him.

Qi Yuan, who was sitting on the side, probably didn't know that at this moment, he had already been designated as the commander-in-chief of the Marine Corps in the future.

"This is Cairo, the extreme edge of the northwest region of the Red Sea. It used to belong to a country called Egypt next to it, but this is not important anymore."

Zhu Zhangui pointed to the location of Cairo, and briefly introduced the surrounding history to Qi Yuan.

"You plan to let me take the brothers and take this place down."

Qi Yuan's eyes are very vicious, and he can see the importance of Cairo's position at a glance.

Zhu Zhangui nodded first, then shook his head.

Without waiting for Qi Yuan to ask, Zhu Zhangui said slowly: "It is necessary to control this place, and I also plan to let you bring your army to station here."

"But this is only one task, another important task."

Zhu Zhangui said, picked up the pencil next to him, and drew a line on the land above Cairo in the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea.

"The pharaoh here built a canal here back then. Since both sides are deserted areas, and no one has repaired it for many years, it has become a shoal, and ships can no longer cross it."

"My task for you is to take this place with your army, and then capture slaves to dig and widen the canal so that our warships can sail freely in it."

Qi Yuan took the map, stared at the place drawn by Zhu Zhangui's pencil, and then scanned the surrounding area, his eyes became brighter the more he looked, obviously he understood Zhu Zhangui's thoughts.

"Your Highness, you are really wise. This is a good place. If we dig through here, our navy can penetrate directly into the enemy's hinterland. When the time comes, we can attack, retreat and defend, and the enemy will have nothing to do with us."

Zhu Zhangui waved his hand with a smile.

This is not his great opinion, he just copied the Su Yinshi Canal from later generations.

"Since you have seen the importance of this place, you must also know that this place may be a place for the enemy to fight for."

"At that time, you will face enemy attacks from all directions. Do you have the confidence to defend this place and the open source of our Great Ming?"

Qi Yuan didn't make any promises, but stood up and faced Zhu Zhangui, knelt down on one knee, raised his hand and hammered his chest heavily.

This is a soldier's pledge, as well as an oath of allegiance.

Standing up to help Qi Yuan up, Zhu Zhangui patted Qi Yuan on the shoulder.

"Open the canal, and then guard it for another five years. After returning to Daming, I will personally issue the imperial edict to you."

Qi Yuan's body trembled, and he clasped his fists in his hands and responded loudly.

"I will die!"

Zhu Zhangui nodded in satisfaction, and waved him to go back and make plans first.

"I'm afraid 1 people won't be able to defend this place. Once those western barbarians realize the importance of this place, they will attack desperately to block the canal."

As soon as Qi Yuan left, the old man strolled over with a teapot.

Putting the teapot on the table casually, the old man took the map from Zhu Zhangui's hand and expressed his concerns.

"That's why I let him go. This man defended very well in Seoul. He is a useful talent. If he can open the canal and guard it for 5 years, I will hand over all the marines to him after returning to the court." , and give him the title of Marquis as agreed."

The old man nodded slightly, and then saw the circles Zhu Zhangui drew on the map, and asked curiously: "You plan to occupy these circled places."

Zhu Zhangui nodded, "In the future, we will have more and more steel warships. These warships do not rely on sails to power them, and require a large amount of coal and other supplies. The places I circled are our future naval supply bases. "

"As long as these places are occupied, and the construction is completed and put into use, the only shortcoming of the navy will be filled."

"Once we have no shortcomings and no worries about the future, after we have recuperated for more than ten years in the future, the expansion plan we have set can officially start."

"What about this place! Is this place going to be taken down?" The old man pointed to the place where Daying was.

After all, the places Zhu Zhangui planned in front are all small islands or small places, and this is the only big land.

"What is this place called Eagle Country? It's a big island country. This is the gateway to the western countries. My idea is to occupy this place and become the front base for annexing the entire West."

The old man nodded acquiescingly, and after thinking about it, he drew a few more islands on the map.

"Let's take down these places too. With these places, we can advance, attack, retreat and defend."

Zhu Zhangui stretched his head to look, and found that the place where the old man drew the circle was Newfoundland in North America, Dihai Island on the border with South America and North America, and Tierra del Fuego in the southernmost part of South America.

"The area is too large, and there may be pressure on the navy to control it."

Zhu Zhangui frowned and expressed his worries.

All of a sudden, important military bases are set up on various important islands in the whole world. With the current strength of the Ming Navy, it may be a bit difficult to control.

After all, this is not a later generation, and there is no such a powerful communication system. Once anything happens, it will be difficult for the court to find out immediately.

"If it's not difficult, then what's the point of war? The navy is living too comfortably. If you don't find something for them to do, I'm afraid they will waste their skills."

Throwing the pencil on the map, reaching for the teapot, the old man took a sip, said something casually, hummed a little song, turned around and went to the deck to see those old guys fishing.

At the end of October, the fleet arrived in Manila, Luzon.

Looking at the panic scene at the port in the distance, Zhu Zhangui smiled reminiscently.

This is the place where he sold goods for the first time, and it is also the place where he killed people for the first time.

At that time, he was just over 9 years old. When he was selling goods here, he met a group of indigenous hooligans.

A street fight broke out, and in the end Zhu Zhangui won with only one casualty, while 15 people on the opposite side fell to the ground with their stomachs pierced and twitched.

Later, the incident got to the Luzon administrators, who learned that Zhu Zhangui and others were from Ming Dynasty and were with Zheng He's fleet.

He also received a cryptic reminder from Zheng He that the little guy in front of him had an unusual status. After he had a certain relationship with the Ming royal family, he chose to make peace with him, and turned this big thing into a small one.

After all, some local aborigines died. No matter what they say, the Luzon Chinese are connected with the Central Plains. As the saying goes, don’t look at the monk’s face and see the Buddha’s face, even if the responsibility lies with Zhu Zhangui, it’s because of the same blood , will also help Zhu Zhangui.

Thinking of the scene at that time, Zhu Zhangui turned his head to look at Zheng He who was preparing to send envoys ashore.

"Old Zheng, I remember that when you came here, you appointed a man named Xu Chai as the governor. You said that after so many years, he is still alive."

Zheng He, who was arranging for people to get off the ship, waved his hand without looking back.

"I don't know. Anyway, the last time I went to sea, he was still alive and well. I heard that one of his concubines gave birth to a son for him that year."

On the pier of Manila Bay in Luzon, groups of soldiers wearing simple leather armor and holding very clear weapons came to the pier nervously under the command of an officer, and lined up to prepare for battle.

"Damn it, where did this enemy come from? How could there be so many ships, and the two ships in the middle seem to be made of steel."

A general wearing fish scale armor ran over cursing while tightening the belt buckle of the armor around his waist.

"Have you seen who the enemy is?"

As soon as he came to the soldier, he grabbed the lieutenant general.

"I can't see clearly, it's a little far away!"

The lieutenant set up a pergola and looked at the sea from a distance, but unfortunately it was cloudy today, and his eyesight was not very good, so he could only see the shape of the boat clearly.

As for the flag on the ship?He really couldn't see clearly.

"I can't see clearly, then why are you still here, why don't you send a boat to ask!"

Seeing that this idiot couldn't see clearly, and he was still watching with his feet up, the person in charge of the dock, who was wearing fish scale armor, kicked his ass angrily.

"Oh, yes, yes, this subordinate will send someone over to ask."

"My lord, a ship is coming!"

But before the adjutant took a few steps, he caught a glimpse of a small boat rapidly approaching the shore.

Seeing this, he was overjoyed, knowing that the other side had sent someone over first, he quickly turned around and loudly reminded the person in charge of the dock who was wearing fish scale armor.

The boat docked quickly, and under the vigilant and terrified eyes of the soldiers on the shore, an admiral went ashore with a serious expression.

"Are you in charge?"

The admiral looked directly at the person in charge of the pier in fish scale armor.

After he went ashore, he looked around, and saw that besides the civilians, there were hundreds of soldiers wearing leather armor, and the only one who was regarded as the leader was a man wearing fish scale armor, so he guessed that this person in front of him was from here head.

The person in charge of the pier, wearing fish scale armor, heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the other party's Da Ming official words, and quickly replied in Da Ming official words: "Back to this general, the young one is the person in charge of this pier."

The admiral nodded slightly, and said in an orderly tone: "Go and inform your governor, the Supreme Emperor and His Royal Highness are here, hurry up and pick them up."

"(⊙o⊙) what?"

"The emperor and the prince."

In Luzon Governor's Mansion, Governor Xu Chai, who received the news, bounced off his chair with a speed that didn't fit his body.

The lieutenant who was sent over nodded vigorously.

"Yes, Your Majesty, that's what they said, and we can see clearly later that it's Daming's ship that is flying the flag of Daming."

"Mother, here comes the big shot!"

After being confirmed, the fat on Xu Chai's body trembled.

At the beginning of this year, he knew about the abdication of Emperor Yongle. After all, as a vassal state of Ming Dynasty, he sent envoys.

A few months ago, the envoy rushed back and talked about the grand occasion of the old emperor's abdication and the new emperor's ascension to the throne. He focused on the scene of the military parade of the million legions of the Ming Dynasty, and the spectacle of the airship appearing across the sky behind.

After listening to the envoy's narration, Mr. Xu Chai felt a sigh of relief in his heart.

If Song Dynasty had been so powerful back then, their ancestors would not have been exiled overseas.

At the same time, he also knew that when Zheng He came, the child who murdered was the current Crown Prince of Daming.

After knowing Zhu Zhangui's identity, Xu Chai felt very lucky.

Fortunately, he was trying to flatter Daming, and turned this into a trivial matter. If he had dealt with it seriously at that time, and even sent someone directly to arrest Zhu Zhangui, Luzon would have been in ruins.

"What the hell are you still doing here? Why don't you hurry up and notify all the ministers to go to the pier to meet the Supreme Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

There was a commotion in Luzon, all the big and small people in the country, who had some status, were all summoned to the pier to meet the old man and Zhu Zhangui.

At the same time, Mr. Xu Chai also ordered his subordinates not to call him the king anymore, but to call him the governor of the Ming Dynasty.

People are all ambitious. Although the king and governor have the same status for him, they are called differently and the psychological pleasure they bring is also different.

So in normal times, Lu Song's subordinates always call Xu Chai the king.

But now there are people from Daming, and it is Zhu Di who made him the governor at the beginning, and he is also following the most powerful crown prince of Daming.

If Mr. Xu Chai still wants to keep his position, he must admit the identity given to him by Daming at this time, otherwise not only his position will not be kept, but his head may even have to be moved.

It is said that he is a king, but Xu Chai is actually in this place of Luzon. His identity is not recognized by the local indigenous people at all. The only people who recognize his identity are businessmen who hug him for warmth, and those who come here to beg for life. Chinese.

The status of governor given to him by Daming was, to put it bluntly, only on paper. He was not given a single soldier, nor did he give him full support.

Because of this, his status is now very embarrassing, and the territory he controls is only the shop plantation area controlled by the local Chinese.

Other places are still in the hands of the aborigines, who don't even care about his orders, and even often conflict with the local Chinese.

Mr. Xu Chai also had great ambitions. He wanted to control the countless islands around Luzon, and then take refuge with Daming with a huge territory, get a title, and then pass it on.

But he is powerless.

There are only a few Chinese, and there are no equipment and weapons in hand, so the so-called army is only a thousand people.

It’s okay for these people to protect the local shops. They may have chosen to conquer those indigenous people, but their strength is still slightly weaker at 01:30.

That's why he was so excited when he heard that Zhu Di and the prince were coming.

He is the governor of Daming, and he asked if it was reasonable for Daming to order armor and advanced weapons.

So this time it is said to be meeting Zhu Di and Zhu Zhangui, the crown prince, but it is actually more reliable to say that he is going to complain and ask for help.

"The humble minister Xu Chai, the governor of Lu Song, brought all the officials of Lu Song to meet the Supreme Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The mighty crowd came to the pier. When Daming's soldiers came down to control the surroundings, and the old man and Zhu Zhangui led the lieutenant generals down, Mr. Xu Chai directly led everyone to kneel down and salute.
