Daming Zhu Di: Father, why aren't you dead? !

"Ming Empire" "Ottoman Turkish Empire" "Mughal Dynasty" "Spanish Empire"

When the pen came down and these four lines of words appeared on the rice paper, the princes and princes of the Ming Dynasty sitting in the audience all frowned subconsciously.

They were not surprised that the "Ming Empire" belonged to one of them.

But they never thought, especially Lao Zhu and Lao Zhu Di, that there were countries in this world that could rival the Ming Dynasty.

It's really unexpected.

"Let's see."

Following the immortal master's words, the words fell.

All of a sudden.

Within the entire main hall, the surrounding scenery changed instantly.

At this moment, the familiar feeling of weightlessness suddenly surged into everyone's hearts. When their minds stabilized, everyone looked and saw a blue ball and the boundless starry sky.

Looking at the Earth from the starry sky.

The territory above it that belonged to the Ming Dynasty was shining with golden light.

"This is the realm of Jiajing and Ming Dynasty."

Ji Boying raised his hand and pointed, and everyone looked at him.

At this moment, not only the mainland territory of the Ming Dynasty, but also dozens of maritime countries in Southeast Asia are shining with light. These are all overseas countries that have 'voluntarily' joined the Silver Project, and they are all under the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

All of a sudden.

Everyone's eyes lit up.

Liu Laosan, Li Er, and Zhao Da, the leaders of the Han, Tang, and Song dynasties, shrank their pupils when they looked at them, and their eyes flashed with envy. This is the true rule of all nations, in the Central Plains. state.

Normally speaking, there is no effect at all.

Now that the map is displayed, it becomes extremely obvious what the situation is. The territory that Jiajing Daming has opened up overseas has already surpassed the mainland, and it is simply too fragrant!

Lao Zhu glanced at the surprise on Zhao Da and Li Er's face, chuckled, and waved his hand slightly.

"It's a small thing, it's a small thing."

then.

The immortal master raised his hand a little more.

"This is the Spanish Empire."

As he finished speaking, he saw that on the map, a large area was flashing with red light. The area that lit up with red light represented that it was under the rule of Spain.

"So big?!"

Lao Zhu saw a lot of red light and frowned subconsciously, which was obviously beyond his expectation.

Spain is a maritime empire, and its external expansion is colonization. Although its homeland is not large, its overseas colonial territory is hundreds of times that of its homeland.

Judging from the red light area on the map at this moment, it is comparable to the golden light area of ​​the Ming Dynasty.

"This is much smaller."

Ji Boying said lightly.

In the Jiajing time and space, due to the expansion of the Ming Dynasty's overseas silver plan and Qi Jiguang's sweep of the Western fleets, Spain's overseas colonies had shrunk significantly. Most of the remaining colonies were concentrated in indigenous areas such as the Americas, and they could not set foot in Southeast Asia at all.

Asia is divided into East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, West Asia, Central Asia, and North Asia. The economically developed East Asia and Southeast Asia are under the absolute control of the Ming Dynasty.

"This is the Mughal Dynasty."

The immortal master said something again.

I saw that at the lower left of the Ming Dynasty's territory, there was a large area flashing with blue light, and the location of this blue light area was the neighboring country next to the Ming Dynasty.

"The current Mughal Dynasty is in its heyday in history. The reigning emperor is Akbar, the third emperor of the Mughal Dynasty. During Akbar's reign, the territory and wealth of the Mughal Dynasty were expanded. to three times his original size, and was known as the greatest Mughal emperor in history.”

"At present, the territory of the Mughal Dynasty covers the entire southern sub-continent, and its military strength has reached an unprecedented peak."

So much for words.

Lao Zhu, a great emperor, frowned more and more.

The Spanish Empire, the leading cow in the West, has been defeated by Qi Jiguang at sea, but it is not something to be afraid of.

The Mughal Dynasty is different. From a geographical point of view, the Mughal Dynasty only has a small border by the sea, which can be classified as an inland dynasty, and its ruling territory is to the southwest of the Ming Dynasty.

If the Ming Dynasty were to carry out a land silver project in the future, it would no surprise that the interests of the Mughal dynasty would be affected.

As for the conflict of interests that occurred between the two dynasties, there was no other way but to use war to resolve it.

"at last."

"Ottoman Turkish Empire."

As the Immortal Master finished speaking again, the fourth empire, on this map, had another area with green light flashing, all of which were areas controlled by the Ottoman Empire.

"The Ottomans were originally a branch of the Turkic tribe. They initially only moved in Central Asia and rose up after the demise of the Byzantine Empire."

“The current ruler is Suleiman the Magnificent. This period was also the peak period of the Ottoman Empire. The entire territory spanned the three continents of Asia, Europe and Africa, reaching the Strait of Gibraltar in the west, the Caspian Sea and the Persian Gulf in the east, and Austria and Slovenia in the north. As far as South Sudan and Yemen, their domestic navies dominate the Mediterranean and Red Seas.”

"Due to its geographical location, the Ottoman Empire was at the intersection of Eastern and Western civilizations, and had controlled the land transportation lines between Eastern and Western civilizations for six hundred years."

At this moment after listening to the immortal master's words.

Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu Di. Zhu Laosi, these emperors with long-term strategic vision, frowned even more tightly.

Especially when hearing that the Ottoman Empire was at the crossroads of Eastern and Western civilizations.

Abiao even spoke.

"The lesson that the Immortal Master taught us before has already made us understand a truth."

"No matter what kind of war is fought, occupying land is only the most basic one, and using this land to grow the economy is the ultimate goal."

"Since the Ottoman Empire is located at the intersection of east and west, it is actually the throat of the two continents. This is equivalent to curbing the inland economy. If the Ming Dynasty wants to expand the inland economy westward in the future, it will inevitably be restricted by the Ottoman Empire. "

The words fell.

"Destroy him!"

Old Zhu Di's eyes were fierce, and he had the urge to send troops westward in any minute.

And this time.

Lao Zhu reacted.

"Brother, what do you mean by practice just now?"

Instantly.

The other emperors and princes of the Great Ming Dynasty also reacted one after another. The so-called practice means to carry out it on the ground. When combined with the empires mentioned by the immortal master, they all looked at the immortal master.

Ji Boying glanced at these princes and princes of the Great Ming Dynasty and spoke calmly.

"This battle."

"The Ming Dynasty will fight against the whole world with the power of one country."

...........................

Jiajing time and space. Shuntian Mansion, where Fengtian Hall is located.

The Jiajing Immortal, who has returned from Hongwu time and space, is holding an emergency cabinet meeting, and the atmosphere is very solemn.

Attendees, it’s simple.

The meeting was presided over by the Emperor Jiajing Immortal, followed by Zhang Cong, the first assistant of the cabinet, Xia Yan, the second assistant of the cabinet, cabinet members Xu Jie, Zhao Zhenji, Gao Gong, young Zhang Juzheng, and Hu Zongxian.

"Tell me how to fight."

Immortal Jiajing looked at the three national war letters placed in front of his imperial desk. These three war letters came from the Spanish Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and the Mughal Dynasty respectively.

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone's eyes were subconsciously falling on Hu Zongxian at this moment.

After all, under the wise leadership of the Jiajing Immortal, Hu Zongxian has basically been taking care of the affairs at sea these years. He is naturally the one who knows the causes and consequences of the matter best.

"Ruzhen, it's up to you to speak to His Majesty and the cabinet ministers."

Zhang Cong, the chief assistant of the cabinet, said that both Zhang Juzheng and Hu Zongxian were promoted to the cabinet by Zhang Cong.

"Yes."

Hu Zongxian nodded.

Only he and Qi Jiguang knew the most about these three national war letters.

Although Qi Jiguang now holds the title of cabinet bachelor as a military officer, he is stepping up military training in other places and has no time to attend this cabinet meeting.

After all, under these three letters of credence, naval battles are inevitable and preparations must be stepped up.

"Your Majesty, colleagues."

Hu Zongxian spoke up.

"Two years ago, after Spain was defeated by the Ming Dynasty, a large amount of trade that originally belonged to the West was taken over by the Ming Dynasty. The national strength of the entire Western countries was greatly damaged."

"Therefore."

"At the beginning of this year, the Spanish emperor sent envoys to the Ottoman Empire and the Mughal Dynasty. They met with the Ottoman Emperor Suleiman and the Mughal Emperor Akbar respectively, and made a strong promise to attack our Ming Dynasty together."

So much for words.

Hu Zongxian paused for a moment and added some explanation.

"Spain's national power ranks first among all the Western countries at the moment. The Ottomans are the overlord in the east-west throat area. The Mughals are in the southwest of our Ming Dynasty and are also the suzerains of dozens of countries in the southwest."

Then, continue.

"In recent years, our Ming Dynasty has expanded rapidly overseas, and its national power has also grown day by day."

"The Mughal Emperor Akbar was always ambitious. He must have wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to prevent the Ming Dynasty from growing its national power in order to protect himself."

“And Ottoman is located at the intersection of east and west.”

"After the Ming Dynasty's rapid expansion of maritime trade, most of the economic and trade between the East and the West was occupied by our Ming Dynasty, so that Osman lost his original initiative in the East-West trade. Suleiman must have wanted to regain the East-West trade. initiative, and at the same time want to take advantage of the situation to expand its maritime power westward.”

"Because as far as I know."

"One of the conditions promised by the Spanish Emperor to Suleiman was to open the blockade, unconditionally open hundreds of Western countries to the Ottomans after the war, and at the same time build an advanced fleet of ships for the Ottomans capable of accommodating hundreds of thousands of troops."

After finishing speaking, Hu Zongxian closed his mouth and stood aside without speaking.

Although he knew these things very well, he was ranked last in the cabinet, behind Zhang Juzheng, and had no decision-making role. He only had to stand and listen.

After Hu Zongxian finished speaking, Zhang Cong spoke.

"Your Majesty, our country's latest batch of South American silver transport ships was robbed by the Spanish and Ottoman maritime coalition. This batch of operating ships is the result of our country's half-year excavation in South America, and a total loss of 30 million taels of silver was lost."

"At the same time, Spain united with the Western countries to launch a siege against our troops stationed in the British Isles."

"And according to the latest details, the Ottoman Emperor Suleiman has ordered the assembly of one million armies from Central Asian countries and is ready to go. Next, with the help of Spanish ships, this one million army will eventually defeat the Mughals. Land and join the more than 700,000 Mughal coalition forces assembled in South Asia."

"In addition, Spain united with the Western countries, mobilized the elites of all countries, and jointly formed a maritime fleet of more than 500,000 people, which is heading towards our Ming Dynasty."

"In this way, the military strength gathered by these hundreds of countries on sea and land will exceed two million."

"The situation is urgent, please make an immediate decision, Your Majesty."

And just when Zhang Cong was silent, young Zhang Juzheng spoke again, setting the tone with one word.

"In this battle, our Ming Dynasty will be the enemy of the whole world."

What he said was not exaggerated at all.

In the current world, only Asia and Europe are powerful. The other continents, such as the Americas, Africa, and Oceania, are all indigenous lands and are not open to the public.

The Spanish Empire united dozens of European countries, the Ottomans across Asia, Europe and Africa gathered the power of Central Asia and West Asia, while the Mughals represented the power of South Asia. Orissa and Malwa near the Mughals Dozens of countries, including Bangladesh and Bangladesh, will form a coalition led by the Mughals.

Europe, Central Asia, West Asia, South Asia.

Looking around the entire world in Jiajing time and space, the only ones that have not moved are those countries in North Asia. At this time, the strongest in North Asia is the Grand Duchy of Moscow, and the Grand Duchy of Moscow has been renamed Russia, and Ivan IV has been crowned. The Tsar belongs to the period of annexation and rise and has no time to participate in this world war.

East Asia and Southeast Asia belong to the Ming Dynasty's inherent sphere of influence.

As soon as Zhang Juzheng finished speaking, the entire Fengtian Hall was as silent as ink, and everyone's brows were frowning.

Be the enemy of the whole world!

although.

It is undeniable that the Ming Dynasty's national power has soared in recent years, reaching a level that no one could have imagined before. Everyone from the top to the common people is full of motivation.

But at this point in time, becoming enemies with hundreds of countries in West Asia, Central Asia, South Asia, and the entire Europe was indeed something that the Ming Dynasty had never expected.

On the dragon chair.

After listening to the words of Hu Zongxian, Zhang Cong and others, Jiajing Immortal was stroking his two long beards on his temples, still thinking about one thing.

"No, this absolutely won't work!"

With a sharp slap on the armrest, Jiajing Immortal stood up.

When the ministers in the palace saw this, they all became energetic, thinking that Immortal Jiajing was determined to challenge him.

Since you have decided to accept the challenge, you must draft your credentials as soon as possible and announce it to the whole world.

now.

Immortal Jiajing stood up. The expression on his face could only be described in four words: furious.

"Tell Qi Jiguang what I said!"

"Thirty million taels of silver, not a penny less, get it back for me!"

From beginning to end, the Jiajing Immortal only remembered one thing: his money was robbed.

In the eyes of the Jiajing Immortal, it was unreasonable for him to win 2,500 taels from Zhu Houzhao and then lose 30 million!

Mine! It's all my money!

No one can move!
