Zheng Xian asked suspiciously: "Not only did you not kill me, but also gave me a fief?" ”

"Not bad!" Wang Xinyu nodded, "Please come to the fifth uncle and the little nephew!" Also, my uncle is also coming over! ”

When the group came to the hall of the Chinese army, Wang Xinyu beckoned everyone to go in and sit down and have a good conversation: "Fifth uncle, eldest brother, come, come here, you first look at the map, and then let's sit down and have a good talk!" ”

When you enter the pre-arranged hall, you will be greeted by a large world map hanging on the wall. This map is still drawn in detail, it is a map of the world drawn by Wang Xinyu according to his own memory, although there are deviations, but there is not much deformation. On the map, the Ming Dynasty, Nanyang, Taixi countries, Kunlun Nu black continent, Siberia to the north, North and South America on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, and Dongzhou Continent in the South Pacific Ocean are marked.

Wang Xinyu pointed to North and South America on the other side of the Pacific Ocean on the map and said: "The land here is vast, rich in products, with a large number of gold, silver, rare and precious stones, and the land is extremely rich, which can grow food, and is also rich in sweeter and larger fruits than we have here." But there are only uncivilized primitive people here, and there are people from the Tessian countries who go there to plunder. If we can immigrate to this continent and turn this place into our territory, then everything produced on this land is ours, and our territory can be expanded several times! ”

Hearing that there were a large number of gold, silver and gemstones, Zheng Jing was a little moved, but compared the map of Daming, he found that the area of America was too large, and he was worried that he would not be able to eat it: "I understand what you mean, you want me to go here." But how can we occupy such a large territory when we go over there? ”

Wang Xinyu enlightened: "Uncle, after you go over there, you don't have to rush to eat a big fat man, as long as you take your time." If you go steadily, you will definitely be able to control this territory. If you have to use force against primitive people as soon as you come up, you will definitely not succeed. These uncivilized primitive people have no idea the value of gold, and we can exchange things with them, such as cloth, rice, cotton clothes, etc., and my fleet of clippers can trade with you. I am here to provide you with weapons, cloth, cotton, and food. You can earn gold and silver from them. In addition, as long as the locals can give them a bite to eat, they will be willing to be slaves, and you can use them to build a city palace where you can live a good life. When the population grows and some locals are admitted, they can control the territory over there. ”

Zheng Jing looked at Wang Xinyu suspiciously, he didn't believe that Wang Xinyu would be so good to him and send him tens of thousands of miles away. They will also contact him and trade with him.

Wang Xinyu saw Zheng Jing's doubts, so he gave him a reassurance: "I will use my flying clipper to send my eldest brother and your army over, as well as my family members." Other than that. I myself want to go to the Americas and see the world on that continent. Also, the captured Tartar captives can also be sent to the eldest brother to be used as labor. ”

"Would you really like to come with us?" Zheng Jing was very surprised.

"Yes!" Wang Xinyu nodded affirmatively. "It's a beautiful continent, I can bring in some products back to our cultivation here, I have to go there myself. Anyway, the speed of the clipper boat is very fast. Seventeen days will pass! And when you go over there, I'm relieved. If I can't stop the Tartars here, I might even go to you. ”

Zheng Jing smiled: "Brother-in-law said he was joking!" How can you not stop the tartar? But there is really a day when I can't stop the Tartars, brother-in-law, I can let my brother-in-law come, and we will fight back together! ”

Wang Xinyu said: "After all, we are all people of the Ming Dynasty!" We shouldn't be killing each other in the first place, we should be looking outside. But before we go over there, we have to arrange the fifth uncle first! ”

"Where did you put me? It can't be the Americas, right? Aren't you afraid that I'll fight your uncle again? Zheng Xi also relaxed at this time and said half-jokingly.

"How is it possible, after all, blood is thicker than water, how can our own people kill each other?" Wang Xinyu pointed to the location of Oceania on the map and said, "The little nephew arranged this place for the fifth uncle, the territory here is also big enough, and the products there are also very rich, there are no local aborigines, and there are no Taixi people, and there is no need to conflict with others when you go there." Of course, in terms of trade conditions, I treat the fifth uncle the same as the eldest brother. Also, I can give you the blueprints of the clippers and ask you to build a shipyard over there, so that you can build these clippers too. ”

Hearing that Wang Xinyu was willing to give him the design drawings of the flying clipper, Zheng Jing and Zheng Xi were a little moved. You must know that this kind of ship is extremely fast, and it only takes seventeen days to cross the Pacific Ocean. And in this era, it takes more than ten days to a month to sail to Nanyang! With this kind of ship, it only takes a few days to come back from Oceania; Coming back from the Americas is the same time as coming back from the South Seas, or the same time as returning to the mainland from Dongying.

The Zheng family has a close relationship with Dongying, and even Zheng Xi has property in Dongying and often goes to Dongying. With this convenient means of transportation, it is nothing to go to Oceania or to the Americas.

Zheng Xun suddenly asked: "These places are still barren land, right?" ”

Wang Xinyu did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "When the old prince occupied Dongfan, was it also a barren land?" Fifth uncle, how are you doing now? If you are interested, I can take you to see Luzon Island in the South Seas, Borneo Island, and Singapore, which were originally barren land, but now they are all very well built! As long as you feel that the results of my construction are still satisfactory, when you go there, I can send someone to assist you in building together! ”

"That's a good suggestion!" Zheng Xi smiled, "I have long heard that the virtuous nephew is building in Nanyang, so I will take this opportunity to take this opportunity to take a look!" ”

Next, Wang Xinyu made specific arrangements: Zheng Jing's people were all returned to him, so that he could have enough troops to protect himself, and went to the Americas, so as to expand his territory, after all, the area of the Americas is too large, and he has to face the dual threat of Western colonists and local Indians, and it is also beneficial to have more soldiers by his side.

Zheng Jing also had more than 8,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, plus his family, a total of more than 20,000 people. Wang Xinyu allocated more than 10,000 craftsmen and farmers to Zheng Jing. In addition, more than 5,000 Qing army prisoners were also handed over to Zheng Jing and asked him to take them to the Americas to expand their territory. In this way, Zheng Jing will take more than 40,000 people on an expedition to the American continent. According to the calculation that one clipper can transport 500 people at a time, Wang Xinyu has a total of five clippers in a short period of time, transporting 2,500 people at a time, and needs to make 16 round-trips, completing the immigration plan within one year. After that, Wang Xinyu will also send some new people to the Americas one after another.

As for Zheng Xi's side, Wang Xinyu captured more than 30,000 Zheng Zheng. Zheng Xian had too many people, and he didn't need so many people to go to Oceania, so Wang Xinyu planned to leave only 5,000 soldiers and horses for Zheng Zheng. The rest were incorporated into Zheng Cong's Yanping Wang Army.

"The little nephew has arrested more than 30,000 people from the fifth uncle here, and the fifth uncle can take 5,000 people to Oceania. Pick 5,000 yourself! The rest stayed behind to join the anti-Qing cause. As for family members and the like, there are probably more than 10,000 people; And 10,000 more peasants and artisans will be allocated to you, and you will be able to take 25,000 men there. Wang Xinyu told Zheng Xi.

Soldiers, peasants, craftsmen, family members and coolies who want to emigrate must be arranged, and food, weapons, goods, tools, livestock, etc. must be prepared, and the migration will not be so fast in a short period of time, and it will take at least more than a month later, that is, after the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, to begin to gradually emigrify. During this time, Wang Xinyu planned to bring Zheng Jing and Zheng Xi first. He visited his own Qiongzhou Island, Luzon Island, Borneo, Singapore and the estuary cities of the Greater Jinsha River (Irrawaddy River) in Myanmar, and by the way, Zheng Jing and Zheng Xi went there to meet the Yongli Emperor.

Zheng Cong has been named the king of Yanping County, Zheng Jing must not be the king of Yanping, and he needs to ask Yongli for another reward.

Anqing camp thousands of miles away. Ao Bai saw the battle report of Hong Chengchou's killing, and two lines of tears fell on his dry old face.

"Hong Jingluo! You are the hero of my Qing Dynasty, but the court did not give you the treatment you deserve, but you still did your best for my Qing Dynasty! I didn't expect you to be killed by thieves today! Ao Bai wept bitterly.

It is true that Hong Chengchou did not get the treatment that the Qing court should give him. Ao Bai is very aware of Hong Chengchou's great contributions to the Qing court, and has fought for Hong Chengchou's title many times. According to Hong Chengchou's great achievements, how can you say that it is not too much to have a prince? But the Empress Dowager didn't know what nerves she had. Unexpectedly, Hong Chengchou was only given a low-level title of third-class light car captain! It's not as good as a baron! This made many banner people speculate in their hearts whether Hong Chengchou had a leg with Da Yuer back then, and now Da Yuer is retaliating, so he deliberately suppressed Hong Chengchou's title and only gave him a low-level title to humiliate him.

Ao Bai has always believed that it is definitely nonsense that the rumored Hong Chengchou and Da Yuer have a leg, and I believe that the former emperor (Huang Taiji) will not use such a means to win over Hong Chengchou. But now that the Empress Dowager is suppressing Hong Chengchou like this, it is really a bit unreasonable. It's just that Ao Bai is loyal to the royal family, and it is not good to raise any objections to the decision of the Empress Dowager.

Ao Bai continued to look through the documents sent by Hong Chengchou, and when he saw Hong Chengchou's proposal to use the red-haired ghost who had a grudge against the Zheng family to deal with the strategy of the Qiongzhou Army and the Zheng Family's Army Sailors, Ao Bai shouted three times in a row: "Okay!" Good! That's great! Didn't this Wang Reverse and Zheng Reverse come and go freely with the power of the water master? In the southern water network area, our Qing cavalry had no choice but to thieves. Wouldn't it be great if the red-haired ghost could destroy the thief with the help of the red-haired ghost? However, ceding Dongfan, this is too humiliating and humiliating! Although it is a barren land occupied by Zheng Wei, it can be recovered by my Qing Dynasty, and it is also the territory of my Qing Dynasty! There should be a change of conditions, or even the opening of the sea ban, to win the support of the red-haired ghost! ”

Then, Ao Bai wrote a letter and sent it to the capital by 600 miles.

Ao Bai wrote in the recital: The battle of the thief and the sea is nothing more than the strength of the ship and the artillery, and the freedom to walk on the sea, my great clear water division is difficult to match, and the red-haired ghost should be used to deal with the thief and the sailor. But it is absolutely impossible to give up Dongfan Island, if the imperial court can occupy Dongfan, it is my Qing Dynasty's royal land, how can it be given to others? In exchange for the support of the red-haired ghost, the sea ban can be opened appropriately. Now that the thieves occupy a large area of overseas, there is no shortage of grain and grass, and if the sea ban continues, it will do all kinds of harm to our court and no benefit......

In the Forbidden City of Beijing, the Borzigit clan, that is, the Empress Dowager Bumu Butai, the second beauty of Mongolia (the first is Hai Lanzhu) looked at the battle report sent by the Leizhou Peninsula, and her eyes were a little moist: "Yan Yan (Hong Chengchou), I didn't expect you to be killed by thieves like this!" ”

"Grandma, isn't it just the death of a Han lackey? Why is Grandma so sad? The little pockmark next to him asked.

Bumu Butai said: "Hong Jingluo made great contributions to my Qing Dynasty, and he exhausted his life's energy, but now he died tragically in the hands of thieves, how can the mourning family not be sad?" ”

Xiao Mazi also vaguely heard a little rumor about Da Yu'er recruiting Hong Chengchou back then, and when she heard her grandmother say this, she was even more jealous of Hong Chengchou in her heart. But he didn't say it: "Grandma, Lord Jinglu is a hero of my Qing Dynasty, and when he is old, he still sticks to Leizhou, resulting in being harmed by thieves, and he should be buried." ”

In the morning of the next day, the little emperor Kangxi sat on the dragon chair, the Empress Dowager Bumubutai sat in the back, and in the main hall, Sony, Suke Saha, and Kubilong stood in the front of the Manchu and Han ministers, and behind them were the Manchu and Han ministers standing in two columns. In addition to Ao Bai in Anqing, the three auxiliary ministers have arrived, and even Sony, who is old and weak and sick in bed for a long time, struggled to come to the court.

"Hooray! Hong Jingluo was killed by thieves, which is a major loss for the imperial court! But Hong Jingluo proposed to use the hands of the red-haired ghost to deal with the thief, and the slave felt that this plan was feasible! Sony stepped forward.

Kangxi nodded: "This plan is feasible!" We should get in touch with the red-haired ghost as soon as possible! ”

The Ao Bai faction's Kubilon stepped forward and reported: "The slave has to play!" ”

"Quasi-play!" Kangxi Road.

Ji Bilong bowed and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the slave thinks that what Lord Ao said is extremely true!" If you cede Dongfan to the red-haired ghost, it will really be a loss of power and humiliation of the country! It's better to open the sea ban and trade with the red-haired ghost in exchange for the support of the red-haired ghost! ”

Kangxi turned his head to look at Bumu Butai who was sitting behind, only to see that she shook her head, so he turned his head to stare at Ji Bilong: "The sea ban is the basic national policy of my Qing Dynasty, and it cannot be opened easily!" If the thieves are given an opportunity, how can I be worthy of my ancestors and ancestors? This Dongfan Island is a barren land overseas, so why not give it to the red-haired ghost? ”

"The emperor is wise! Minions obey! Sukh Saha, who had always been at odds with Aobai, hurriedly stepped forward and blocked Curb Pilon's mouth.

Who knew that Shi Lang, who was idle in the capital, stepped forward, knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty!" Wechen has a book to play! ”

"Quasi-play!" Kangxi Road.

"Your Majesty!" Shi Lang knelt on the ground and bowed, "Dongfan Island is my Qing Dynasty's royal land, and it must not be ceded!" As for the sea ban, it is the national policy of the Qing Dynasty, and it cannot be easily opened! (To be continued.) )
