Yongle Emperor's grandson: Zhu Yuanzhang with cheats, Zhu Di went crazy

Chapter 217: Once again, the strength has increased by leaps and bounds!

In the northernmost territory, Zhu Zhanjun originally planned to find someone in the space.

Zhu Zhanjun can only trust people from the space.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, Xia Yuanji and Kangxi all refused.

In their words, an emperor should treat everyone equally.

Having gotten used to the people in this space, Zhu Zhanjun would unconsciously exclude other officials.

But no matter the people sent during the Chinese New Year or the people summoned, they will all grow old.

They cannot obtain the bonus of space and possess permanent life like Zhu Zhanjun.

The space is too ethereal, and even Lao Zhu doesn’t feel it is real.

If the space suddenly disappears one day, and the people who were summoned also disappear, it will have a huge impact on Zhu Zhanjun.

Lao Zhu and others suggested that important matters and experiences should be shared among real ministers to give them the opportunity to hone their skills.

Perhaps there are certain risks in doing so, but a country needs to have a diverse source of talent and cannot focus on just one place.

It was also because of the persuasion of several people that Zhu Zhanjun decided to start from the northern plan and choose one-on-one cooperation.

Some important matters are assigned to real officials, but in the positions of deputies and some side branches, people in the space are placed to assist. Of course, it can also be called supervision.

Anyway, no matter what, real talents must be mobilized, and supervision in space is also indispensable.

Zhu Zhanjun chose Lan Yu as the supervisor to go to the north.

It is enough to have Huo Qubing alone to build a city on the grassland. It is a waste to leave two powerful generals in a small city.

As Zhu Zhanjun asked, the people below began to think about it, especially the court generals who were asked by the old man to come over. They understood that this was an olive branch extended to them by the crown prince.

"If no one volunteers, I will shamelessly take the job."

Many people were very tempted, but considering some situations, they did not speak up at the first time.

Zhang Fu noticed this situation, stood up with a smile, and wanted to take on this task.

He had thought it over carefully just now.

According to the information he received, the south has been basically pacified, and there is no need for him to go south again in the future.

On the grassland side, after two northern expeditions, both the Oirat and Tatar were defeated by the imperial court. In addition, with the presence of Huo Qubing, a fierce general who built a city here, it would take another forty or fifty years for the grassland to recover.

The two major enemies in the south and the north have been pacified, but it is not clear whether there will be wars in the future.

As a soldier and also the only commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Fu understood this in his heart.

Go back at this time.

You may be assigned to a certain position, dealing with endless official duties every day, and you probably don't even have to think about the battlefield.

Besides, he is already a Duke, so there is no point in giving him a higher title.

Instead of going back and being watched every day, it is better to go to that mysterious place in the north to try your luck. At least you don't have to deal with those annoying official documents. You can also lead a team to fight savages and hunt.

In addition, Zhang Fu also understood what the old man meant.

I asked them to come here tonight because I wanted them to have more contact with Zhu Zhanjun so that they won't be so unfamiliar with each other in the future.

A new emperor appoints new ministers. No matter how capable you are, it will be useless if the emperor does not trust you.

The old man didn't want these old friends to end up in loneliness, so he arranged for them to go to Zhu Zhanjun's place in advance so that they would not be neglected in the future.

When the generals saw Zhang Fu standing up, they sighed for a few moments and gave up the idea of ​​taking on this task.

"Haha..." Zhu Zhanjun laughed out loud and said, "In that case, I'll leave it to Duke Ying this time. I'll also send Lan Yu to work with you."

"Yes."

Zhang Fu took a look at Lan Yu, who looked exactly like Lan Yu, and agreed with a fist salute.

But then he asked again: "Your Highness, how many people can we bring with us, and how can we supplement the logistics?"

To the north, the land is open and entirely unknown.

How many enemies are there? How many beasts are there? How many dangers are there? All are unknown.

So before setting off, Zhang Fu had to figure out how many troops and supplies he could bring.
Zhu Zhanjun was well prepared and took out a token from his arms and placed it on the table.

"This is the new unit I formed, called: Arctic Legion."

"The team has a total of 8000 people, including 2000 cavalry and infantry. In addition, I will send you logistics soldiers to organize a -man force."

"Before you set out, you will bring enough ammunition. In addition, every spring, I will send a logistics team to deliver supplies to you according to the marks you left behind."

At this point, Zhu Zhanjun pondered for a moment and solemnly told Zhang Fu: "But the environment there is harsh. It is unknown whether the logistics team can find you, so you must be mentally prepared."

Zhang Fu nodded carefully.

Zhu Zhanjun's words showed him the difficulty of this operation.

But as I said before, for a country, no place is useless and all places need to be guarded by the army.

Next, Zhu Zhanjun and everyone else ate meat and drank milk tea while discussing plans for going north, which lasted until late at night.

After riding around the military camp on horseback and making sure that all the sentry posts were in good condition, Zhu Zhanjun returned to the house to rest.

"Little bastard, come in quickly, the space is almost expanding to its limit tonight."

Just as Zhu Zhanjun was about to close his eyes and go to sleep, Old Zhu's urging voice rang in his mind.

After nearly two years of expansion, the area of ​​the space has once again reached the expansion node.

The first expansion was 500 miles, and the second expansion was miles.

According to everyone's speculation, the third node should be within a thousand miles.

Too much golden spring water was used for expansion, so Zhu Zhanjun could only save it while expanding the space.

Although it is slow, it is growing little by little every day and now it has finally reached the distance we had guessed.

Such good news made Zhu Zhanjun's sleepiness disappear instantly without a trace.

Instructing Ergou to guard outside, Zhu Zhanjun closed his eyes and entered the space.

Everyone in the space who had received the news long ago stopped their busy work. Even Huo Qubing and Lan Yu entered the space to wait.

"Second Great Grandfather, I heard that every time the space is upgraded, there is a big movement, right?"

Zhu Houzhao looked curious and asked the question in his mind.

Zhu Zhanjun nodded.

"Indeed, Qi Zhen must have told you." "Back then, when the space was first opened, these houses were just thatched huts."

"Later, it was upgraded to a blue brick and tile house, and now it has become the current three-story courtyard."

“Not only has the exterior and interior been improved, but many of the internal facilities have also undergone significant changes.”

“And I infer that this upgrade will bring great changes to the space.”

Old Zhu, who was standing by, muttered quietly, "As long as we can get out, it doesn't matter what we become. Lotus roots are too hard to get together."

Some time ago, Liu Bowen and others came over, and two lotus roots grew, which made Old Zhu depressed for a long time.

If it weren’t for the space, seeing that it had reached the critical point and everyone had cancelled their summoning quota this year, Lao Zhu would have wanted to give it one more try.

"Sir, have you ever thought about who you're going to choose next?"

Liu Bowen, who was standing by, waved a folding fan in his hand and asked Zhu Zhanjun about the next candidate.

The North has been temporarily conquered, and the West has Napoleon's guidance. The two situations that will affect the Ming Dynasty in the future have now been alleviated.

The choice of every long-term worker in the space is the plan for the next step.

Zhu Zhanjun sets the next goal while selecting the next person.

No one expressed their opinion on this matter, as this was Lao Zhu's request.

In the words of Old Zhu: Zhu Zhanjun has grown up and has begun to take over the power of a country.

As an emperor, you don't need to do everything yourself, but you have to set a goal so that the people below have a direction to work towards.

After all, other people's ideas belong to other people. No matter what they think, Zhu Zhanjun, as the boss, should first propose a standard so that everyone can supplement or correct it.

Zhu Zhanjun pondered for a moment and said, "The Civil War has entered its final stages, and there will be more than a decade of peace."

"As for food in Daming, high-yield crops are being rapidly promoted. Coupled with the various fertilizers, weed killers and insecticides we provide, Daming will no longer lack food in the future."

"As the saying goes, when people are well fed and well clothed, they will inevitably have other thoughts in their minds."

"It is imperative that we keep the people engaged in pursuit before these things happen."

"Now that they have enough to eat, they will start to compete with each other in terms of money and quality of life."

"My next plan is to vigorously develop Ming's industry and maritime trade in the next decade or so."

After getting a general idea, everyone started discussing it.

Xu Shou and others were responsible for supplementing the future history, while Liu Bowen and others were responsible for formulating the plan and the approximate candidates.

After half an hour of discussion, everyone gave Zhu Zhanjun some rough suggestions on the countries to be chosen.

If Zhu Zhanjun does not have enough time in the space, he does not need to look for a specific person specifically, just the general country will be enough.

As for how to distinguish it, that depends on Zhu Zhanjun himself. They really can't help.

As everyone made their decision, Zhu Zhanjun came to the lotus altar in Old Zhu's yard.

Close your eyes slightly and continue to expand the space.

When reaching a certain critical point, the space suddenly trembled slightly.

The colorful light instantly illuminated the entire space, and the light in front of Zhu Zhanjun's eyes also twisted rapidly.

When he saw it clearly, his expression was surprised.

The original statue space disappeared, and what appeared in front of him was a very formal room.

"Dong dong dong..."

Zhu Zhanjun still hadn't figured out what was going on when there was a knock on the door.

"Sir, I'm here to apply for a job."

A cautious female voice sounded.

Zhu Zhanjun scratched his head: "Good fellow, have you changed your approach again?"

Thinking about the appearance of the examiners when he applied for a job in his previous life, Zhu Zhanjun straightened his clothes, cleared his throat, and said to the outside, "Please come in."

The door was pushed open, and a blond, blue-eyed Western woman walked in gracefully.

When she saw Zhu Zhanjun, she first performed a skirt-lifting gesture, and then sat opposite him at Zhu Zhanjun's invitation.

"Sir, let me introduce myself first. My name is Victoria, and I am the Queen of England."

Zhu Zhanjun's eyes moved and he understood the other party's identity.

During the reign of Queen Victoria, Britain's power reached an unprecedented peak.

It can be said that in that era, the British Empire was invincible.

Whether in the East or the West, they are forces that influence the entire world.

After the other party finished introducing himself, Zhu Zhanjun asked, "You have come to this space, what can you bring to it?"

Victoria, who was well prepared, quickly put the prepared documents on the table.

"Sir, it is like this. We in the British Empire have countless experienced sailors. We have ports all over the world, and we are familiar with the water patterns and ocean currents in various places."

"Besides that, we can bring into the space a shipyard, a steel mill, a steam engine factory."

"In addition to these, we will also provide various firearms, artillery and industrial production technologies with all our strength."

"We, the British Empire, can also provide 40% of the resources plundered from all over the world as a strong foundation for you, sir."

"If possible, we can even open a world connection and accept the rule of sir."

"and many more……"

Zhu Zhanjun was very satisfied with what he heard in the beginning, but he was a little confused by what he heard in the end.

"What does it mean to open a world connection?"

Victoria asked in confusion: "When I received the recruitment, a voice told me that a new space upgrade would give me a space coordinate."

"As long as the owner of the space, that is, you, are willing to pay the golden spring water, a connecting channel can be opened between the two worlds."

"That is to say, you can rule another powerful world besides the current world."

After saying this, Victoria tidied her hair unnoticeably, revealing her shoulders.

"Sir, my British Empire is not incapable of anything but an invincible fleet and powerful infantry."

Zhu Zhanjun: ???
