Become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Chongzhen!

Chapter 621
Naturally, it is impossible to mark all the cities and regions in the South China Sea of ​​Ming Dynasty on the map.

And it is impossible to use the map given by Zhu Youjian.

Instead, it was slightly modified based on the existing map of southern Xinjiang and the South China Sea of ​​the Ming Dynasty. It only roughly depicted the shape of the mainland, and then pointed out the location of Nanjing City on the top, and drew a route going south.

The land is not the focus, the sea is the focus.

"This is Dayuan Island, and then all the way south to Guangzhou, and then, Jiaozhi? But it says Mo, and Li?"

The place is too far away, and it is too unfamiliar to some people in Ming Dynasty, but the newspapers are mostly new things, so naturally there are some educated people who come to show off.

"This is to write the old events of the Yongle Dynasty 200 years ago. Jiaozhi was set up by Cheng Zu and his old man after he captured the land of Annan Hu Dynasty. As for the two characters written on it, there is some knowledge in it. In Jiaozhi, he rebelled against our Ming Dynasty, and then occupied the land to establish the Li Dynasty.

The word Mo is slightly better. After the Jiaozhi rebellion, the Mo family offered land to me, Daming, and asked for the title. My Daming then set up the Annan Metropolitan Commander, and this is the land under the jurisdiction of the Nadu Commander. "

"Nanyang Company is really extraordinary. This Jiaozhi is three thousand miles away from Nanjing! You can even get a glimpse of its appearance!"

"Look again, go through Jiaozhi, then go south to Brunei, make a detour to Greater Luzon, and then go north to Little Luzon."

The discussion about this map exploded.

Not just marketers, literati, gentry, landlords and even beggars are full of curiosity about the land thousands of miles away, not to mention that most of these lands are claimed by Daming.

This small map is now placed on the desk of Emperor Longwu Zhu Yujian.

It's just that what he is looking at now is the refined large-scale map presented by Nanyang Company, and the newspaper on the table is not as exciting as this presentation.

This large map was also modified from Daming's existing sea chart, making the general terrain more accurate. At the same time, it marked the distinction between Daming's current territory and Vietnam's many forces, and marked the locations of many cities and settlements.

It also includes parts of Daming Yongzhou and Qiongzhou Hainan Island.

Zhu Yujian felt dazzled when he saw it.

Most importantly, Wang Chengen stood beside him to answer his questions.

"Jiaozhi, these two words were written in the newspaper, is that what you mean?"

Zhu Yujian carefully looked at the map, which showed the overall population, military strength, and even the taxation status of each region in Vietnam, as well as the plains and mountains that were distinguished by color.

For a monarch, it's alluring.

Players look at the map and want to play coloring games. An ambitious monarch will naturally not have no idea about the land that should belong to him.

"The minister has the audacity to allow the newspaper to add it."

"Okay."

Zhu Yujian smiled and waved to the other eunuchs: "Send this newspaper to the prince."

Then he looked at Wang Chengen and said: "As you said, the company's affairs have nothing to do with me. What happened to the company in Jiaozhi got me involved. Instead of saying a good word, I will impeach and criticize you. You have to blame the company, you have to remember."

Wang Chengen was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hastily knelt down and said, "As His Majesty said! Only the ministers are in charge of the company, and no one else!"

"Ah."

Nodding in satisfaction, Zhu Yujian looked at the map again, and said softly: "I've read the memorials on overseas occupation and colonization several times, and I think it's feasible, but I say no, the court has no money, so I just Let Nanyang Company try it first.

The south is indeed suitable for growing sugarcane. The Shunwu Sugar Factory in Nanjing has a lot of holes. When you go south, the first thing you need to do is to settle the sugar factory in Guangzhou, and the second thing is to open up land and sea and colonize. "

If a man has no money, he has no confidence in speaking.

Without money, Zhu Yujian couldn't maintain any doubts and fears in front of Wang Chengen, especially since Wang Chengen was his source of income.

It also opened up a source of income for him.

Daming never died because of lack of money, but the emperor had no money at hand, and it was impossible for the money he managed to scrape together to play its due role.

Today's Daming Jinyiwei is domineering, the Eunuch Party is making waves, and the Donglin Party is bossing around the court.

Emperor Longwu also suppressed corruption a lot.

But until now, Zhu Yujian found that the money he sprinkled, only in the hands of Wang Chengen, is the most effective and effective, and the echo can be heard.

It fell into the hands of other people and drifted all the way, and then the last memorial coaxed him to make him think that things were done well.

Jin Yiwei checked and found out that the matter was not done.

As far as this is concerned, a specific Jinyiwei has to be investigated to find out the truth, and there are only one or two people in Jinyiwei who do practical things.

Like Wang Chengen, distrust is not enough.

Once they get rid of them, Zhu Yujian feels that there is no one around him, and even his big companion is not as good as them.

"Your majesty's ministers dare not forget that this new sugar factory is also the property of the company, and has nothing to do with the imperial court or your majesty. The people here are all Liu Dashan."

Zhu Yujian nodded in satisfaction, and then urged: "Although you are leaving, the newspaper must be properly arranged. Before you leave, bring the steward to see me, and get to know the commander Liang Yu."

Newspapers are a good thing.

With a little effort, Zhu Yujian realized that as an emperor, he absolutely needed such a thing that could control public opinion to stand on his platform.

I enjoyed the feeling of using public opinion to hold the commanding heights of righteousness and morality in my hands.

Then you can't get rid of it at all.

Even better, the emperor of the Ming Empire was the Son of Heaven.

They are cut off from local officials in the secular world.

The local officials made mistakes, and there were local bullies, so the simple people would never think that the emperor who was far away in the city of Nanjing made any mistakes. He only scolded the dog officials and not the emperor. Only natural disasters and the hardships of the world are the emperors. Old man's pot.

So Outlaws of the Marsh became very popular.

After the conversation, Wang Chengen quietly left Nanjing Imperial City.

Putting on the veiled hat and entering the carriage, the originally tense face burst into a smile, and the thin face was full of wrinkles.

It's finally done.

Maritime trade, colonization.

This is the general direction given by Zhu Youjian.

And Wang Cheng'en also felt that this was what he should do when he sailed to the west. It was more brilliant and dazzling than when he was in the Yongle Year.

Guided Emperor Longwu step by step, and now he finally got the approval to go to the West by order.

Although it is in the name of the company, it is better than using the name of Daming.

As long as it is away from the sea area under the actual control of Daming, it can be unscrupulous.

And the Zheng family in the waters actually controlled by the Daming Navy can barely count as half of them.
