Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 465 Overseas Colonial Plan
Back at Qianqing Palace, the sky was already dark, Ah Qing will move to live with the princess from tonight.

Zhu Youjian sat on the dragon bed and thought about the battle for Batavia. The weather, sea conditions, and sailing routes were not a problem. He could exchange the best blueprints from the system at any time.

Daming now has a strong army and horses, but the army is still insufficient, and the territory that has been conquered must have enough troops to defend.

As for the consumption of money in wars, Zhu Youjian didn't take it seriously. No matter which country he fought, Zhu Youjian had the ability to make the country being beaten pay for the Ming army.

The Netherlands is known as the coachman of the sea, and its strength is still very strong, but its forces are scattered. If the Asian headquarters is attacked, they are bound to fight back desperately.

Zhu Youjian knew that as long as they destroyed their bases in Asia, without supplies and footholds, the Netherlands would be powerless even if they wanted to counterattack, and could only obediently give up colonizing those small countries in Asia.

In Zhu Youjian's heart, the small countries colonized by him used to be the vassal states of Ming Dynasty, and he would take them back one by one. When the small countries colonized by Western powers returned to the embrace of Ming Dynasty, they would become provinces of a certain country. .

Opening the system map, Zhu Youjian looked at the location of Batavia and the recent weather. He was going to choose the best time to impress Batavia with a sudden blow.

Batavia is located on the northwest coast of Java. The city covers an area of ​​about 740 square kilometers. It is 3800 kilometers away from Taiwan. The residents are mainly Javanese, Batavian, etc., and there are a few Chinese.

It is now the headquarters of the Dutch East India Company, and its trade covers Asia, Europe and Africa. It has a tropical rainforest climate and has always been a famous seaport for exporting spices and pepper.

The sea and land transportation hub is also the throat of transportation between the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, and it is also an important bridge between Asia and Oceania.

The terrain is high in the south and low in the north. There are more than ten rivers, the most famous of which is the Cirion River. The entire area is composed of sedimentary layers. The southern area is a lush bio-alluvial layer, and the land is very fertile.

Looking at the weather, there has been a strong typhoon in the past five days, which is not suitable for going to sea. The typhoon passed through on June [-], and there has been no strong wind and waves for the next half month. It is the best opportunity to attack Batavia.

Zhu Youjian's departure date has been confirmed, which is June [-]st.

Now Zhu Youjian still has five days to prepare. The iron-clad warship will serve as the main battleship, and the sail warship will be used to deliver troops and logistical supplies.

All the soldiers in battle were issued with rifled guns, and each warship was equipped with three Shenwei Grand General guns at the front and back. If encountering an opponent's small warship, the Shenwei Grand General can almost kill it with one blow.

Just when Zhu Youjian was deep in thought, the little eunuch Erxi quietly came to him:

"My lord, it's getting late, you can rest now, the four concubines are already waiting outside the palace!"

Zhu Youjian looked up at Er Xi:

"Show them in."

"According to the purpose"

Erxi went to announce the four little flowers, Caidie and Qiuyue came to Zhu Youjian's side, each of them took his arm, and Jiao Didi said:
"Your Majesty, the water is ready, Caidie Qiuyue will wait for you to bathe and change clothes."

"Ok!"

Zhu Youjian nodded slightly, and got up to take a bath with the support of Caidie Qiuyue.

After coming to the bath, Caidie Qiuyue helped him take off his clothes. Zhu Youjian walked into the bathroom slowly and then lay flat in the pool water. There were many petals in the water, exuding an attractive floral fragrance.

Zhu Youjian looked up at the two little beauties standing by the pool:
"Let Yang Mi and the four of them come over to accompany me. Ah Qing is not here today, so you two and Ruyan will also come over together. I will leave temporarily in a few days. You must get along with each other in harmony, and no intrigue is allowed."

"According to the purpose"

Caidie Qiuyue was so happy, serving the emperor for more than half a year, and the emperor finally became enlightened tonight, and the two rushed to call Yang Mi and the others.

Zhu Youjian's harem is still unowned, and he has not canonized a concubine. At present, these girls are still young, and it is impossible to see which one has the potential to be a queen.

Although Zhu Youjian's requirements for the queen are not the highest, they must have the majesty of the mother, at least as virtuous as Queen Zhou. At present, Zhu Youjian can't tell from these girls.

Zhu Youjian closed his eyes and lay quietly in the pool water. Soon he felt seven mermaids swimming up to him. He sank into the bottom of the water with a wicked smile, and the pool water instantly churned...

……

The next day

Zhu Youjian was a little tired from the night battle against the beauty, so he asked Erxi to pass the decree to cancel the early court, and announced that Sun Chuanting, Qi Jiguang, Sun Chengzhong, Huang Degong, Li Dingguo and others came to see him in the royal study.

After receiving Erxi's oral order, these great war gods of the Ming Dynasty rushed to the Imperial Study Room to see Zhu Youjian.

"See Your Majesty."

Zhu Youjian waved his hand:
"Free of courtesy, flat body, seat given"

The gods of war thank you again:
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

When everyone was seated, tea was served immediately by the maids.

Is this the court hall? It's basically like a family gathering. After everyone sat down, they all looked at Zhu Youjian. They thought that the emperor would entrust them with important tasks today.

Seeing everyone's expectant eyes, Zhu Youjian said slowly:
"How about it, are you almost ready? I plan to let the army set off from the capital to Tianjin on June [-]st, and then board a ship from Tianjin to Fujian to gather."

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the army is ready, but the logistics are not yet ready. Two more days are enough."

Zhu Youjian nodded:
"Let the household department prepare more rice, flour, potatoes and meat, and remember not to bring sweet potatoes on board."

Zhu Youjian's words made everyone confused. Why didn't they let the sweet potato be brought on the battleship? But the emperor had already spoken, so they didn't dare to ask more. "

The air in the cabin of the battleship does not circulate very well. Eating sweet potatoes is easy to fart. Of course, sweet potatoes cannot be eaten on a battleship. These people have never experienced it at all. How do they know.

Zhu Youjian just refused to let the sweet potatoes be brought on the battleship, and did not explain to them. When the topic changed, a new topic was brought up by Zhu Youjian.

One more thing, I would like to hear your opinions. As the overseas territories are getting bigger and bigger, I want some capable and loyal feudal lords to recruit troops at their own expense to manage them.

After they left the mainland of Daming, they not only left a large amount of expenses for Daming, but also created wealth for Daming. In the future, a steady stream of wealth from overseas territories will flow into Daming.

For example, after taking Batavia and handing it over to King Zhou, King Zhou can transport Batavia's grain and minerals to Daming, or sell the spices there to the West, and of course most of the profits will be handed over to the court.

In this way, it not only solves the issue of feudal land and salary in Daming, but also solves the problem of food security in Daming. In case of natural disasters, the people of Daming will never go hungry.

"Clap clap clap..."

Before Zhu Youjian finished speaking, everyone suddenly applauded excitedly. The issue of the vassal king has always been a difficult problem that plagued Ming Dynasty. Zhu Youjian's cutting down the vassal once aroused great resentment from the vassal king, but he did not dare to resist for the time being. , who can guarantee that they will not rebel.

If it is really like what Zhu Youjian said, the problem of the vassal king will be solved, no matter how much they toss, they will still be overseas, and the Ming Dynasty will not have any losses.

But soon they calmed down again, Huang Degong clasped his fists and asked:
"Your Majesty, this matter is indeed a good thing, but what if they establish themselves as emperors overseas, wouldn't they have to send troops to conquer again?"
