Chapter 872 The world's first regular navy!
Lancang, which is the later Laos and some areas of Thailand. Without the Ming Dynasty's conquest, Lancang would become Siam in a few more years.
Jiaozhi, that is, Vietnam.
Babaidadian, which is part of Myanmar.
The Ming Dynasty, plus these three places, and the area outside the pass and Nuergan, also made it more than the territory of China at its peak.
It's enough.
The area where the Ming Dynasty can manage well is so wide enough.
As for these territory, such as the Timur Empire in the Western Regions, it is necessary to fight, but it is a bit difficult to include it in the territory. It is better to make him surrender after the battle.
Similarly, the three areas of Angkor, Ayutthaya and Champa are the same.
To truly annex the entire Indochina Peninsula, the Ming Dynasty's economic and military strength had to be improved by at least one or two levels, such as the entire army was equipped with real magazine rifles.
At that time, even tens of thousands of people could shock the entire Indochina Peninsula.
That's how the world police are.
Of course, if aircraft and steel warships can be created, the Ming Dynasty's control over the world will be unprecedented and will become the defender of the world order in advance.
Well, simple and straightforward: the overlord of the earth.
At that time, if the national education is implemented and a seed is planted by oneself, will a bunch of talents emerge and then make out all the submarine carriers?
I feel excited when I think about it.
Zhu Di said no, "I think so too, but I've been worried about the follow-up governance of Lancang and Babaidadian. I'll be relieved if you say that, then that's it, Young Master Yao?"
If the Angkor Dynasty does not jump, it will ignore it.
If it dares to jump, it will flatten it.
It suits your temperament very well.
Yao Guangxiao whispered, "But to fight Oirat and Urianha, in order to ensure that this year is not suitable, it is best to push it until next year, and take Oirat and Urianha in one fell swoop, so as not to escape from each other."
Zhu Di nodded, "That's it."
The decisions related to the major trends of the Ming Dynasty in the next few years were decided by the three of them.
Dusk was stunned, "Your Majesty, is that settled?"
Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao were also stunned, "Can you have any other ideas? Let's talk about it."
The dusk said, "Your Majesty, I want to ask, do you just want to fight the Indochina Peninsula and outside the Pass? Don't you want to go and have a move with the Timur Kingdom in the Western Regions?"
Zhu Di sighed, "Temur is dead."
Xun said happily: "His son is still there, and the Kingdom of Timur is still there. In addition, let alone Timur, just talk about another thing. Zheng He has gone to the West several times. Your Majesty should know that the world is very big. I will just talk about one thing. Our Ming Dynasty must not be able to focus on the land left by our ancestors. We must first use other resources overseas to leave the resources on our ancestors' land for future generations. So there is a Shijian Yin Mountain in Japan, which produces silver. Weichen is very jealous. In addition, there is a huge area overseas, that is, the transit place of sweet potatoes and peppers to the Ming Dynasty. That area is huge and the resources are extremely abundant. Can we think about it?"
Zhu Di was dumbfounded, "Fight Japan?"
Japan is now complacent to the Ming Dynasty.
If this is fought, how will the Ming Dynasty, as the sect leader, face other vassal states in the future?
At dusk, haha, "When fighting or not depends on the situation, but we have something we can do now, that is, vigorously develop the navy that can sail overseas. No, since we are sailing on the ocean, it should be called the navy!"
Before the times have developed, sea power is the king.
Just as why Britain was called the Empire of Sunless Setting back then, it was because its powerful navy controlled the sea power.
Zhu Di was puzzled, "The fleet led by Zheng He also had tens of thousands of soldiers. Can't it be called a navy? Zheng He had several wars in the West, but he did not lose in one time."
Yao Guangxiao also fell into deep thought.
He found that no matter how many books he had read, he could not keep up with the minds of dusk.
navy?
What does this mean? Did the Ming Dynasty want to raise a navy? If you have any problems, you will float on the sea. But what is the use of floating? Who can fight with? Since you can't reach the place by land, how can you manage it even if the navy fights?
At dusk, "I dare to ask Your Majesty, if one day Zheng Dajian will not go to the West, will the invincible fleet be dismantled, all ships will be incorporated into the navy, and all soldiers will return to the corps?"
Zhu Di smiled and said, "This is natural."
Don’t you understand the reason why I went to the West? One is to look for Zhu Yunwen. Since Zhu Yunwen appeared in Fujian once, he has disappeared again. I have always suspected that he had fled to the West.
Hu Ying traveled all over the country and there was no trace of the mountains and rivers. When talking about Hu Ying, Zhu Di suddenly remembered that he had not approved his filial piety and would have to do this later.
Another reason for voyage to the West is to make money.
Because of this reason, he offended the Jiangnan gentry. Therefore, officials from Jiangnan gentry have always sang opposites to him in the court in recent years, which made Zhu Di very upset.
Worry is worry, but Zhu Di will not give in.
Even Zhu Di was so happy to see the money he made in the West next time. He could not let go of this money tree and planned to continue to go to the West to ensure that he could make money.
To be honest, voyage to the West is royal smuggling.
As for the Jiangnan gentry... just dismember them step by step.
Xun smiled and shook his head, "There is no need to disband the tens of thousands of people from Zheng Dajian. I think that a special naval department can be established, and Zheng Dajian will serve as the chief position, and the deputy position will be held by Weichen. Then Your Majesty will allocate funds to Weichen, and the Weichen will be the host, and then the Times Commercial Bank will cooperate to develop more advanced warships that can sail on the sea without fear of wind and waves. At the same time, Your Majesty should also recruit a large number of naval divisions to fill the naval departments and form a navy. This navy is mainly equipped with muskets, cannons, and naval soldiers. It is not mainly used for close combat. In addition to training shooting, it also needs to train amphibious combat capabilities. The so-called amphibious is like a frog, which can be in the water or on land. At that time, when our Ming Navy can show its power all over the world, of course, your Majesty, you know the real purpose."
It sounds nice, called trading.
To be a little bit ugly, it is called robbery.
If the Ming Dynasty really formed the world's first regular navy, it could use its powerful military force to send huge overseas resources back to the country, and even establish overseas colonies.
This is the bright path that the overlord of the earth should take.
And there is another purpose. Dusk is afraid that the 100-year dark years of the 19th century will reappear, so we must now form a navy, put the vassal state of Japan under the Ming Navy, and castrate it forever!
At dusk, "I remember telling Your Majesty that I am willing to assist Your Majesty in an unprecedented path, and the journey of this path is not in the land under our feet, but in the stars and the sea!"
Zhu Di remained silent for a long time.
Yao Guangxiao was also silent.
After a long time, Zhu Di looked at Yao Guangxiao, and Yao Guangxiao sighed, "There are talents in the country and the country, but you can't accept your old age. Your Majesty, you have already built the Yongle prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty and are famous in history. So it is better to listen to the strategy of Dusk. If you really reach the step that Dusk said, your Majesty will surpass the First Emperor of the Eternal Eternal Emperor!"
Zhu Di asked Huang Du weakly, "It takes a lot of money to form a navy?"
Dusk nodded, "It's time to be flowers."
