Chapter 1161 Layout
Luo Sheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his eyes gradually released light: "Sea!"

"Not bad!" Luo Xin's eyes also released light: "It is the ocean that gave hope to this tiny country. This small country has spent nearly a hundred years devoting all its efforts to developing navigation. The royal family encourages ocean exploration, looking for routes leading to all directions on the sea. , During these hundred years, they sacrificed countless lives, but they also discovered too many lands with rich products and sparsely populated land. More importantly, most of the aborigines on these vast lands are still in the primitive state. In the era, there is no concept of country, some are just primitive tribes, without civilization, and without advanced weapons. Therefore, only a small country like Portugal can conquer them, lay a huge territory, and enjoy Endless wealth and glory. They even have the power to try and attack our Ming Dynasty."

Luo Xin looked at Luo Shi and said: "The world is very big, but in fact our Ming Dynasty is very small."

Luo Sheng's eyes were as bright as two little suns, rubbing his hands, looking at Luo Dao:
"No, you want me to conquer the world?"

"Yes!" Luo Xin slapped the table and said, "Do you have the guts?"

"I don't have the guts?" Luo Sheng stood up and said, "I'll go back and start to organize the army now..."

Luo Xin waved his hand, signaling Luo Sheng to sit down.

"Cousin, now we have Taiwan, Ryukyu, and Wa. The real territory is larger than the area of ​​Portugal in Europe. If we take Koryo, we can guarantee the support for the expeditionary force. So, your next step is not to go to sea Fighting for hegemony, but taking Goryeo."

"This is a small problem. Give me two years. I will use one year to completely digest the Wa Kingdom, and the second year to take down Goryeo. It's just..."

"Just what?"

Luo Sheng looked at the map on the table and said: "Just now, you said that Spain and Portugal have been on an expedition for nearly a hundred years, and they have occupied such a large territory. There is no blank space. Are we going to take food from Spain and Portugal? "

"There is no need for this. The sea is not like the land. There is no detour on the land, and you have to fight whoever you encounter. For example, Yin Tianzhu, which is occupied by Portugal, will be handed over to the eldest brother Luo Qing. His next plan is to Drive the Portuguese out and completely occupy Tianzhu, but you, cousin, are different. You can reach anywhere by going by sea.”

Luo Xin stretched out his hand and drew two circles on the locations of America and Australia on the map:
"The territory here is almost the same as that of Ming Dynasty, and here is about twice that of our Ming Dynasty. The land is fertile and the products are rich. Neither Spain nor France has discovered this place, and the aborigines here are not civilized. With our strength , we can easily conquer these two fertile lands. We can make great achievements there and create a legacy for all ages."

Luo Sheng was so excited that his breathing became heavy. He stroked the two places of America and Australia with his two big hands. After a while, he raised his head and said:

"Is... really that big?"

"Yes!" Luo Xin said with certainty.

"We went, where is ours?"

Luo Xin nodded again and said: "Yes, within 30 years, as long as we go, there must be something."

"Why 30?"

Luo Xin's gaze became deep, as if penetrating space, looking into the distance, and said leisurely:

"Maybe 30 years later, other voyagers will discover it."

Luo Sheng's gaze became urgent, Luo Xin withdrew his gaze, looked at Luo Sheng opposite, and said with a smile:
"Cousin, don't worry. If you want to establish a permanent foundation, you must have a solid rear that can provide you with a steady stream of ships, soldiers, weapons, etc. Therefore, your next step is to occupy Korea, Taiwan, Ryukyu, and Japan and Korea into our solid rear."

"I understand!" Luo Sheng nodded, frowned and thought for a while, "No, I have a question that I don't understand."

"Say!"

"As you said just now, the territory of France is only about the same as that of Goryeo. Such a small country has now become an empire, occupying so many territories in the world. It is like a child holding a A large piece of gold, is there no one to snatch it?"

"Of course!" Luo Xin laughed.

"Then... how can they still be so powerful?"

"That's because those powerful countries in Europe haven't realized the huge benefits, or are in the midst of wars, and can't generate energy. Waiting for them to discover the benefits here, or end the wars, their eyes Then they will look at these interests. These European powers will naturally not stand by and watch small countries like Spain and France monopolize the huge interests. With the strength of these European powers, the grand occasion of Spain and France can only be It will be short-lived. For the entire era of great exploration, whether it is Spain or Portugal, it is just a prelude. The real cruel competition will not really begin until the European powers participate.”

Luo Xin looked at Luo Sheng firmly and said: "Cousin, this kind of great era is probably only once in a thousand years. If you catch up, you will become stronger and stronger. If you miss it, you will become weaker and weaker, and will eventually be wiped out by the great powers. "

"What are we going to do? Should we send troops to Korea immediately?"

Luo Xin shook his head and said, "Korea can't slow down in ten years. How many soldiers will there be in a tiny place? But [-] soldiers were killed or injured in Liaodong. It can be said that there are almost no soldiers in Goryeo today. I will let Daming Through the blockade of Goryeo, you also have a naval blockade of Goryeo in Wa. So their life will be more difficult and the economy will collapse.

There are no soldiers, and after being blocked, I am afraid that they will not even be able to eat. I will let Cuiqiao send people to sneak into Korea and stir up civil war in Korea.Further weaken the strength of Goryeo.In a year's time, you should completely straighten out the Wa country, and at that time, Koryo was already riddled with holes, so you took down Koryo in one go. "

"No problem!" Luo Sheng looked at Luo Dao with admiration: "It's just that it won't take so many soldiers to straighten out the Wa Kingdom this year, so let them idle like this?"

"No!" Luo Xin shook his head and said, "Separate a part of the navy and wait for my order to wipe out the Japanese pirates at sea. The other part of the navy will go here."

Luo Xin's finger touched a point on the map, and Luo Sheng's gaze landed on the place where Luo Sheng's finger pointed.

"Malacca?"

"That's right! This place is an important place for east and west. Occupying this place will hold the throat and lifeline of maritime trade. This is a battleground for military strategists."
