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

Chapter 219 One World Is Not Enough, I Want to Rule All Worlds
After watching the Warrior, Zhu Zhanjun suddenly remembered something.

The fire at the Old Summer Palace seemed to have broken out around the time the Warrior was launched.

Zhu Zhanjun turned to look at Queen Victoria, "Have you gone to war with the Qing Dynasty?"

Queen Victoria nodded and said, "It has already started. It is currently July in the world I am in. I heard that the battle is going very well."

After she finished speaking, she found that everyone present except Napoleon was looking at her. She smiled awkwardly for a moment and quickly said, "Great Lord, I will ask them to stop the war right away."

Zhu Zhanjun shook his head.

"I also know something about the situation in your country. The war cannot be stopped just because you, the queen, say so."

"Go back and tell the commander-in-chief to defeat the Qing army. You can make your own decisions on other matters, but I have one request, which is that the people of Yanhuang are not allowed to be massacred. Also, the Old Summer Palace in the capital is not allowed to be burned or looted. I plan to use it as a garden."

Xu Shou and Zhan Tianyou nodded repeatedly. Xu Shou said seriously, "That place is the pinnacle of the entire Yanhuang architecture, but it was burned and looted by your British and French troops. It's simply a waste of natural resources."

Both of them knew about this, and Xu Shou had even experienced it personally, so he took it very seriously.

"Okay, I'll try my best to instruct them, but Lord, and everyone else, I can only say that it may not succeed. After all, my words may not be 100% effective in the entire Great Britain."

Zhu Zhanjun nodded, turned around and faced the crowd. Zhu Zhanjun ordered: "Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, Hu Ruzhen, Wu Sangui."

"The general is here!"

The four of them hurried forward.

Zhu Zhanjun looked at the four people and said, "I need to mobilize a group of troops. You all should prepare yourself. I will give you three days. No matter what, you must gather a 3-man force for me."

The three of them knew that the troops Zhu Zhanjun was talking about all came from space.

Only the soldiers who come out of the space will be 100% loyal to Zhu Zhanjun and will not expose anything about the space.

Although 30,000 people was a bit too many, the four did not refuse.

They understood that if they withdrew their troops, Zhu Zhanjun would definitely replenish them later.

Sure enough, the four of them just agreed.

Zhu Zhanjun then told Xu Da: "The war in the north is over. I think the old man will withdraw his troops in a few days."

"There will be no war in the next few years, and our people will not be needed."

"Then you can divide the troops among them and concentrate on managing the military academy."

Xu Da nodded.

The four of them are all capable, and he would not be able to help them in the past. It would be better for him to stay in the military academy to train students and train more officers for Zhu Zhanjun.

Zhu Zhanjun did not let the four people go to the new time and space with him.

With Zhu Yuanzhang and Kangxi around, plus himself, there is no shortage of commanding talent for the time being.

Besides, even if there is a need, you can just give a hello and there is no need to follow you all the time.

"Your Highness, can this ship be sent to me?"

After everything was arranged, Zeng Guofan came over with a smile, looking at the Warrior with shining eyes.

"Mr. Zeng, you don't take our navy seriously, do you?"

Before Zhu Zhanjun could say anything, Zheng Zilong quit.

During this half year, the shipyard had only delivered three warships, and they were all thousand-ton warships, which did not meet Zheng Zilong's standards at all.

Now that there is finally a warship to keep the peace, that old guy Zeng Guofan actually wants to snatch food from his tiger's mouth. Doesn't this show that he doesn't take his navy seriously?

"You are not busy, but the Persian ships have been approaching my side recently. I don't have any main battleships, so I thought of using them to calm down the situation."

"After we drive those Persian cats away, I will send the ship back to you."

Zeng Guofan had a bitter look on his face as he expressed his difficulties.

When Zhu Zhanjun left, he took Wang Jun's fleet with him, leaving him only a few transport sailboats.

The shipbuilding industry in the Sultanate is only average, and it has only produced a few patrol boats so far, which is far from what he needs.

Zhu Zhanjun had promised to give him a ship, but the shipyard was busy building the navy's ship and he had no time to take care of it.

So now that there is a ship, and it is an ironclad battleship that can suppress the current era, he naturally wants to take it down to maintain order.

"It's difficult for you, but it's not difficult for me."

Zheng Zilong was not willing to be outdone and complained to everyone.

"Ever since the imperial court opened up ocean trade, merchants who bought protection have been asking for our fleet's protection at every turn."

"They paid us. We can't just take the money and not do anything. I only have a few broken ships and there's not even anyone to keep the whole port in check."

"With the beginning of maritime trade, a large number of pirates emerged from nowhere."

"I am now fighting pirates while protecting those merchant ships."

"Your Highness, everyone, this is really difficult. Can this ship be given to our navy first?"

Everyone looked at the two people complaining to each other, and they didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a moment.

But I also understand their difficulties.

One is to guard the western waters, and the other is to protect merchant ships and fight against pirates, both of which are top priorities.

"Zheng He has returned, right?"

Zhu Zhanjun looked at Zeng Guofan.

Zeng Guofan nodded and said, "We have returned. We estimate that we have reached Malacca now."

Zhu Zhanjun turned to Zheng Zilong and said, "Give this warship to Guofan first. They need some."

"Your Highness..."

Zheng Zilong was a little unwilling, and Zhu Zhanjun calmed him down and said, "Well, when Zheng He comes back, I will seize his fleet and add all of them to the navy."

"Most of the Japanese pirates have been wiped out, and some naval forces from Shandong and other places can also be transferred out."

"Really?"

Zheng Zilong's eyes suddenly lit up.

Zheng He's fleet is the most powerful in the world today. Although it is a sailing warship and cannot be compared with the Warrior's dual-hybrid power, it is enough for now.

With the addition of warships drawn from naval forces in Shandong and other places, the naval force under his command suddenly became the most powerful and largest maritime force in the world today.

"I can't lie to you."

Zhu Zhanjun gave the other party a reassurance, and Zheng Zilong smiled instantly, but he still didn't look at Zeng Guofan well. "Humph, you're lucky, old man. We agreed that you have to return it to our navy after you use it."

Zeng Guofan smiled meaningfully when he heard this.

Why should I return something that I got by my own ability?

Besides, what's your navy? You gave this ship to me as soon as it was docked. How can it be your navy's ship?
"You've seized all the ships. Will Zheng He be willing?"

Old Zhu, who was standing by, also thought of the eunuch. He understood the eunuch's position in his fourth son's mind and was worried that this move would make the other party unhappy.

Zhu Zhanjun smiled and replied: "Don't worry, I have a way to deal with him."

Zheng He had an inexplicable obsession with the ocean. If the other party saw the real machine to turn the ship, he would definitely try to convert all the ships into steamships.

Zhu Zhanjun could then use the excuse of modifying the ship to temporarily transfer the ship to the navy.

Once the ship is taken away, Zhu Zhanjun will have the final say on how long it will take.

It will take two or three years until the navy's new warships are built, or until the shipyards in space build new ironclad ships.

These useless old wooden ships can just be returned to Zheng He.

As for whether Zheng He would be angry, Zhu Zhanjun didn't care.

With a huge naval force and Zheng Zilong, the leader of the sea bandits, Zheng He's role to Zhu Zhanjun was no longer that great.

"Your Highness, please give the ship a name!"

After the warships were allocated, Zeng Guofan respectfully bowed to Zhu Zhanjun and wanted to ask for a name for the warship.

Zhu Zhanjun looked back at the mighty ironclad warship, thought for a moment and said, "Let's call it Dinghai Ship."

Zhu Zhanjun hopes that this ironclad warship is just the beginning, and that the Ming Dynasty will have countless more advanced warships in the future.

Dinghai, stabilize the sea, and subdue the barbarians.

After visiting the shipyard, the group went to two other factories.

One is a steel plant and the other is a steam engine manufacturing plant.

The three factories cooperate with each other.

Steel mills produced steel, which was then transported out to make steam engines, to make iron hulls for ironclad ships, and finally everything was assembled together to form new battleships.

Napoleon had army equipment, Victoria had navy equipment, and only the air force was left. Zhu Zhanjun's equipment for the three armed forces was complete.

There's nothing much to see at the steel plant, except that the steelmaking equipment is slightly more sophisticated.

Zhu Zhanjun and others paid special attention to visiting the steam engine manufacturing plant.

The factory mainly manufactures three types of steam engines: one is an industrial-driven machine, one is a locomotive steam engine, and the other is a large steam engine needed for ships.

According to the factory manager, if sufficient materials are provided and full production is carried out, 2 to 3 steam engines can be assembled in a month.

Zhu Zhanjun was already very satisfied with this speed.

After visiting Victoria's luxurious manor, everyone went to Napoleon's manor.

As the space was once again improved, the former small villa was transformed into a luxurious manor.

Each factory and each room are also separated.

The ironworks was emitting thick black smoke and was operating at full capacity. Its equipment was similar to that of the Victoria Steelworks.

The gun barrel factory was completely powered by steam engines. With the hissing sound of steam and the rapid rotation of the drill, a new gun barrel was produced in a short time.

There is not much change overall, but the speed has been greatly improved.

There is an artillery manufacturing workshop next to it, where Napoleon cannons or Armstrong cannons are being taken shape step by step by the workers.

Next up are Kangxi and Zhu Yuanzhang.

Their house also changed and became a huge manor.

In addition to the unchanged warehouse altar and rest area, there are now steam-driven textile workshops and various food canning workshops.

After reading it, Zhu Zhanjun couldn't help but sigh.

The space is arranged very reasonably, and the food equipment, transportation tools, and weapons testing and research laboratories are perfectly coordinated.

After visiting the new changes, Zhu Zhanjun held a meeting while everyone was there.

The meeting had two contents.

First, the opening of a new world.

Second, the next plan and direction of the space.

A group of people talked at once, and they discussed until dawn and decided on an overall plan.

Old Zhu couldn't stay in the space, so he and Kangxi Zhu Biao assisted Zhu Zhanjun to complete the attack on the new world.

In terms of military commanders, there were Wu Sangui and Zuo Zongtang.

Both of them had lived in the Qing system and were very familiar with the internal affairs of the Qing Dynasty, making them the best candidates for the main attack.

The arrangement of the space inside remains the same as before, but adjustments have been made to the expansion and character summoning aspects.

The original summoning of Lao Zhu was changed from once every six months to once a year, and the other three were summoned once every two years.

The preserved golden spring water is used to supplement and maintain the stability of the space channel.

No one present could guarantee that if the instability provided by the golden spring water caused the space channel to collapse, would the space coordinates obtained be usable when it was opened later?

Therefore, in order to ensure that there are no problems with the New World channel, we can save money in other aspects, but we must not save money on the channel.

In addition, Queen Victoria needs to provide real materials and cooperate with Zhu Zhanjun to complete the control of the new world.

According to everyone's plan, the first step was to take down the Qing Dynasty, and then use the Qing Dynasty as a foundation and the Kingdom of Great Britain as an aid to annex and integrate the entire world.

"Everyone, the strength of the New World is different from that of the Western countries in Ming Dynasty."

"They have already gone through the initial stages of industrial restructuring and have a professional military."

“This is an opportunity, but also a challenge.”

Zhu Zhanjun looked at everyone seriously and said, "If we succeed in taking over this world, it will also help our world's Ming Dynasty to quickly rule the entire world."

"I believe this is not the only spatial coordinate, and there may be more in the future."

Zhu Zhanjun's eyes were full of enthusiasm. He walked into the room and said loudly, "I believe that with your help and joint efforts, in the near future, the flag of our Ming Dynasty will fly across many worlds, and your names will be passed down through the ages!"
