Chapter 772
People are forced out.

Even if a small landowner has a male child in his family, the landowner must consider earning more money to leave to his son. No matter what happens, he must keep the family business.

If it were two sons, it would be even more torture.

Even if all the family property is given to the eldest son, the younger son is so annoying. No matter how cruel he is, he must give something to him.

The more sons I have, the more torture I get.

This is how the Lao Zhu family divided the country layer by layer.

Of course, the clan is just one of the many stubborn diseases of the Ming Dynasty.

The remaining diseases are each more difficult to cure than the last.

The Qing Dynasty was happy to welcome heaven on earth, and the Ming Dynasty also had to have a paradise on earth.

Nowadays, the newspapers have spread, and the border war is not obvious. Even because of the negotiation between the Ming Dynasty Dongge University Scholar and the Minister of Rites and the Black and Yellow Banner and the Song Dynasty King Zhu Cixiang, the border between the two countries was once extremely peaceful, with almost no friction.

Transportation and business exchanges between the two places have never been interrupted.

And war is not limited to the battlefield.

The war on cultural exchange is also a war.

The two countries are fighting for nothing else but the orthodoxy of China, and this contradiction cannot be eased.

It is extremely rare to have peace for more than a year.

When the newspapers of the Qing Dynasty were promoting the Americas, the newspapers of the Ming Dynasty also published this kind of content. They mainly criticized the puppet Qing emperor Wuerte for being militaristic and wanted to hide the fact that he wanted to colonize the Americas and plunder local wealth.

There is no king in the world.

But the royal land also belongs to the people of the world.

It is not wise to discover America and then want to turn it into private property.

On the other hand, my Ming Dynasty is different.

Whether it is Luzon or the legendary southern continent, our Emperor Ming's promotion of overseas exploration and colonization is all for the sake of the people, gentry, dignitaries, clans, and many vassals of Ming Dynasty overseas!
Look at the Luzon natives who came to the Ming Dynasty and sold themselves as slaves. Who doesn’t say that their life is much better than before?
This is benevolent government for the entire world!Good governance!
As for the notoriety of Nanyang Company.

The Ming Dynasty's management organization for the ocean is Haidusi. It is just a company and has nothing to do with our Ming Dynasty.

"Have you read the newspaper today?"

"I didn't look at it. What did you say?"

"Southern Continent!"

It criticized the North's pseudo-Qing Dynasty, but did not deny the authenticity of many news about the American continent.

Then the direction changed and the newspaper began to promote Australia.

A paradise on earth belonging to the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, you can’t write too much at the beginning.

Even the information in the hands of Emperor Longwu only gave a rough summary of the southern continent.

The expedition fleet of the Nanyang Company, which was personally appointed by Emperor Longwu to supervise the army, set sail from Manila, the capital of Luzon, first across the Sulu Sea, then the Sulawesi Sea and the Maluku Sea.

Non-stop along the way, we went straight to the Tidore Sultanate, passing through this island country that had become a tributary state of the Ming Dynasty and quickly becoming a supplier of overseas spices to the Ming Dynasty, and negotiated with the Papuans in its southeast.

Then he met the Torres Strait Islander tribe through the Papuans and successfully landed in Australia.

Since it was sailing along the coastal waters of many island countries, and the Nanyang Company attached great importance to this voyage, the expedition fleet would send a ship back to Manila every once in a while.

So in less than half a year, while the expedition fleet landed and briefly explored and stationed in the local area, the news quickly spread back to the mainland of Ming Dynasty.

"Traveling ten thousand miles from the south, ten thousand miles from the west, and one thousand miles from the east, the natives use stone as utensils, rattan and clay pottery as dishes, and grass and trees as clothing."

When Emperor Longwu got the news, he had to show it to his genius son as soon as possible.Zhu Linyuan is also happy to see these overseas wonders.

"There are also patterns, which are similar to those of some natives in Luzon."

"Then will my father rescue them? The natives of Luzon are very pitiful. They also surrender to me, the Ming Dynasty, and they are also qualified to bathe in royal transformation!"

Emperor Longwu smiled and said: "Of course, of course, Prince Fu, who was not good to you before, has been arranged by me to go to Taiwan. To educate those native mountain people can be regarded as meritorious service. In the future, if there are relatives from other clans who are willing, I will also let them They have the opportunity to go out and save people overseas."

Naturally, children cannot explain clearly what Daming Nanyang Company has done overseas.

Therefore, in Zhu Linyuan's perception, people overseas lived a very miserable life, not only having no food and clothing, but also being bullied and enslaved by the Spanish and Dutch.

Daming is here to save them.

No matter how smart the child is, he is only eight years old. Emperor Longwu was very pleased to have such kindness.

And he also has some longing for the southern continent.

A vast land of tens of thousands of miles.

The amount of wealth plundered overseas by the Spanish, Dutch and other countries always stimulated the little heart of his emperor.

The southern continent is certainly worth a try.

"But when will my father make the Northern Expedition to regain the capital of the North? Will he save the millions of people in the North from the fire?"

He was thinking about plundering more gold and silver from overseas, a dozen or two billion like that from Spain. Suddenly, when his son asked this question, Emperor Longwu's face suddenly turned ugly.

It’s ugly and confusing.

After his expression changed several times, he raised his hand and touched his son's little head with difficulty: "Come on, my son just needs to study hard."

"But gentlemen lecturers"

"good!"

The Northern Expedition was originally very simple.

Just wave the flag, our Ming Dynasty is the Chinese orthodoxy, and there is no need for any other reason to fight against the Qing Dynasty. It is just a matter of whether we can fight against it.

Now the Ming Dynasty is finally at peace, natural and man-made disasters in various places can be suppressed, there are no large-scale wars, and there are financial resources to pay the soldiers, so that they will not owe too much.

But now, as far as Emperor Longwu knew, it was not that simple.

After Shi Kefa, the Minister of Rites, went north to sign a treaty with Song King Zhu Cixiang to carve up the world between the Ming and Qing Dynasties, he stayed there to negotiate with Song King Zhu Cixiang many times. At the same time, he also guarded the north, assisting Jin Yiwei and other secret posts to infiltrate northward in an attempt to instigate rebellion against the Qing Dynasty. Subjects act as internal agents.

At the same time, they also tried to sign a formal armistice treaty with the Qing Dynasty.

Although the Northern Expedition is a banner that can occupy the commanding heights and become invincible with one shot, a large number of Donglin courtiers still want peace to last longer.

Without him, the Qing Dynasty in the north promoted tax policies for the gentry with increasing intensity.

This made the gentry of the Ming Dynasty in the south know that their lives might not be as easy as now in another day.

The flag must be raised and the language commanding heights must be occupied, but this battle cannot be fought now.

Therefore, Shi Kefa, a peace advocate, worked hard to promote peace talks while being scolded.

Let’s talk if we can.

Shi Kefa's many negotiations with Song King Zhu Cixiang, as well as the time when he was on the front line collecting intelligence from the Qing Dynasty, confirmed each piece of information that horrified him.

After being tortured by this information for a while, he felt that he could no longer keep it secret.

So with the will to die, he sent these confirmed information to Emperor Longwu.

It is information about the emperor of the Qing Dynasty and the owner of the black-red and black-blue flags.
