Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 694 The current land area of ​​Ming Dynasty

Since we want to discuss the international situation, of course we must have a globe that can let everyone intuitively feel what the international society looks like!

Chen Yonghua asked Gu Cheng to find someone to bring an extra-large globe!

The map of this era has been very perfect, and with the addition of the details of the war criminal Zhu Kezang of the P company, the map of Ming Dynasty is the most advanced in the world today.

Prime Minister Chen Yonghua stood at the front of the conference hall, holding a teaching stick, pointing, turning the globe, and giving a lesson on the international situation to the Guangdong officials below according to what Zhu Kezang said.

"In today's world, there are many powerful countries, and the great powers are rising side by side! In terms of land area alone, our Ming Dynasty is the number one in the world!"

Chen Yonghua pointed to the map to see the red territory, and said proudly.

Daming is really big now!

The current land area of ​​Daming, roughly calculated, is about 3487 million square kilometers!
How do you calculate it?
Probably the area of ​​the heyday of the Qing Dynasty (begonia), the entire area of ​​Southeast Asia (Indochina Peninsula and Nanyang), the area of ​​Anbei Duhufu (Central Siberia Plateau and East Siberia Mountains), the area of ​​Dongying Duhufu, the area of ​​Tianzhu occupied by Ming Dynasty, and the area of ​​Fangzhang Province (Australia), California area.

The area of ​​Australia is fully included, but there are still some territories in the Australian mainland that have not been fully occupied, but they will definitely belong to Ming in the future, without a doubt.

Also, an enclave on the Persian Gulf side (bought from Ottoman) is not counted, the area is too small to be ignored.

"However, although Daming is large, most of its land is difficult to develop, and even inaccessible. For example, Anbei Protectorate, there is another country whose territory is about the same size as Daming, and the land is more fertile than Daming!"

"That's the Kingdom of Spain. The yellow thing on the globe is the Kingdom of Spain!"

"Including mainland Spain, the Spanish Netherlands, the Spanish territory in Italy, and the so-called Kingdom of New Spain, which is centered on Mexico City and stretches for more than [-] miles from north to south!"

After Chen Yonghua finished introducing Daming, he began to introduce the Kingdom of Spain.

Now Spain has long gone downhill, but its territory is still vast, with a total of more than 2000 million square kilometers of land!
Moreover, the land of New Spain also has the largest silver mine in the world today, is also rich in gold, and produces a large amount of brown sugar!
"Spain is the second largest country in the world, but it's weak!"

"The third largest country in the world today is the Kingdom of France! It's the big blue area on the map!"

After Chen Yonghua finished talking about Spain, he brought out the Kingdom of France!

The current France can be said to be the country with the strongest comprehensive national strength besides the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty.

France has the most powerful army on the European continent, and also has the largest population among European countries. At the same time, France's colonies are also very large!
On the North American continent, except for the territory belonging to Spain in the south, the territory belonging to the United Kingdom on the east coast, and the Ming territory on the west coast, the rest are colonies of France.

In fact, Daming also coveted the territory of France.

But in the New World, it is definitely not possible to fight France and Spain at the same time, it is too difficult!
It's not that Zhu Kezang is afraid of things, because the New World is too far away from Ming Dynasty and its foundation is too shallow.

Although the French colony has a small population, it has a huge area, at least 1000 million square kilometers, which is larger than the Central Siberian Plateau and East Siberian Mountains combined!
The key is fertile land.

However, although this site is good, there are also some flaws.

North America has a vast and flat central plain, which also provides a very good foundation for modern agricultural development.

However, the North American terrain is low in the middle and high on both sides, and it is very easy to cause disasters under seasonal changes and bad weather, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, ice disasters, etc.

why?Because the cold current of the Arctic and the warm current of the Atlantic Ocean in the Caribbean can freely pass through, if you are not careful, it will be a meteorological disaster.

North America is rich in products and fertile land, but no decent civilization has been born in the past few thousand years (Maya is mainly in Central America), because of natural disasters.

The terrain of North America makes it possible for devastating natural disasters to occur in North America every few hundred years, making it impossible for large civilizations to take root.

Only when the level of science and technology is further developed can this piece of land become the truly chosen place.

Of course, Zhu Kezang will definitely not tell others about this natural disaster, otherwise everyone would dare not go to North America to develop, and it would be over.

"The fourth and fifth largest countries in the world today should be the Raksha Kingdom and the Puppet Qing Mongolia. The territories of these two countries should be on equal footing."

"However, the actual controller of Rakshasa Kingdom is Princess Sophia. She is the queen of Kangxi, and they have a son. That means the two countries can be regarded as one country, and the national power should not be underestimated!"

Chen Yonghua paused, then pointed to the two dark red islands on the edge of the European continent on the map and said: "This is the Kingdom of England. As well as the east coast of the New World, it has also seized a lot of territory in the southeast of Tianzhu."

"But because of the friendly trade with Ming Dynasty all the year round, in terms of national strength and navy, it is enough to rank among the top three in Europa, even a little stronger than the seemingly huge Spain."

"Foreigners are fearful of power and do not want to be virtuous. I didn't expect Britain, which has such a good relationship with Ming Dynasty, to join the Eight-Power Allied Forces!"

However, Thomas of the East India Company was still reliable. If something happened to him, he dared to throw the table with the commander of the Eight-Power Allied Forces, but he was not prepared to be ambushed.

Thomas, who was under house arrest by Bentinck, always felt that the time when he was sweet with Ming was the closest Britain was to civilization.

Mixing with the Mongols (Manchurians) will not last long!
And the map color of the globe is the classic Europa Universalis color scheme, which makes Zhu Kezang very comfortable to watch.

Then, Chen Yonghua introduced other countries of the Eight-Power Allied Forces.

After talking about the situation of the Eight-Nation Allied Forces, the huge meeting room was a little speechless.

These Cantonese guys are not afraid, but they can't understand. Why do these foreigners dare to provoke Daming?
Why?

It's fine if Daming doesn't find the door to beat them, but they dare to come to the door.

"The shoveling family, I will send out troops tomorrow, and I will definitely destroy them!"

"Fucking mother, I just did business with the British the day before yesterday!"

After a short silence, there was a crusade against the Eight-Power Allied Forces.

Now that Daming is full of martial virtues, when encountering a problem, what he thinks about is not how to resolve conflicts, but how to overthrow the enemy.

After discussing for a while, everyone consciously quieted down, because the prime minister was about to speak.

Everyone turned their attention to Chen Yonghua, but Chen Yonghua just smiled and said: "Everyone, the Eight-Nation Allied Forces should not be underestimated. I recently got a top-secret news from my good friend, Governor Thomas, that foreigners want to start a trade war with us!"
