Chapter 497

Starting a business is easy, maintaining a business is difficult.

Zhu Zhanhe knew this a long time ago, but in fact, he only knew it before, and he didn't feel it deeply until today.

Generally speaking, people call unattainable or extremely difficult goals as dreams, and lifelong, achievable goals as ideals.

The difference between the two is that dreams need some adventures, some unimaginable coincidences, and some other uncontrollable factors to help them succeed, or even fail to succeed at all.

The ideal is a lifelong goal set by a person. For example, Emperor Taizong once thought that one generation would fight the battle of three generations, completely wipe out the forces in the northern grasslands, so that future generations would have no worries about foreign aggression.

However, the realization of the ideal is not achieved overnight, but on the way to the ideal, new milestones are constantly reached, and finally the destination is reached.

For example, the ideal of Emperor Taizong was to destroy the forces of the northern grasslands, so his first imperial conquest personally destroyed the Tatars. Target.

The same goes for Zhu Zhanhe.

From the moment he decided to stand up, he set a goal that there would be no civilization that could threaten flower growers in the future world.

Therefore, he first got rid of the enemy of the flower planters, Japan, and then went from near to far, from the Indochina Peninsula to Delhi Sultan, to the Timurid Empire, and then to Europe.

This road is actually the road for Zhu Zhanhe's small goals to be realized one by one.

However, this did not reassure him.

He can't guarantee that he can get rid of all the people he wants to get rid of. The teacher once said: A spark can start a prairie fire.

Didn't the eagle sauce of later generations run over from John Bull?In just a few hundred years, it has become one of the top countries in the world.

There are only two ways to prevent this from happening.

First, there are physical limitations.

The birth and development of a civilization is inseparable from the rigid condition of food. If there is not enough food, no matter how advanced a civilization is, it is impossible to create things out of thin air.

Second, there are limitations in the ideological sense.

The birth of a civilization, to put it bluntly, is still an ideological progress. The reason why the eagle sauce of later generations can climb so high depends on the English people who have liberated their minds.

Indians have occupied America for thousands of years, don't they still look like ghosts?

Ideological restrictions are difficult, at least it is too late for Zhu Zhanhe to act now, so he can only restrict them in a physical sense.

Zhu Zhanhe's idea is very simple, that is to take advantage of the current strength of the Ming Dynasty to occupy as much grain-producing areas as possible on this planet, especially places like the European Plains and the Mississippi Plains in America.

In this way, the root of the enemy's rise can be eradicated fundamentally. Without food, there will be no sufficient population. Without sufficient population, taking off is like a castle in the air.

But it is precisely because of this that Zhu Zhanhe feels physically and mentally exhausted, and he sighs that "it is easy to start a business but difficult to maintain it".

Logically speaking, he should be the one who started the business, but because he thinks far enough, he is actually at the stage of starting a business and keeping the business in parallel.

Looking at the simple version of the world map on the table, Zhu Zhanhe straightened his hair in sorrow.

There is no need to worry too much about Asia for the time being. After all, your roots are in Asia. Once you find signs of rising opposition forces, you can suppress them first.

Europe is also okay. Although there are many plains and fertile black soil, people will definitely be arranged here in the future.

According to Zhu Zhanhe's prediction, in the future, he will either let his younger brother Zhu Zhandong come over to guard Europe, or he and his son, depending on the future changes in the court and the height he can achieve.

If he can get to the top, he will guard the Central Plains, and his younger brother Zhu Zhandong will come to Europe, if not, it will be the other way around.

In addition to Asia and Europe, there are Africa, the United States and Australia.

There is no need to worry about Africa for the time being. As long as there is no intervention of foreign populations, no matter how high the black ghosts can jump, they will not be able to jump very high. After all, the original history has already verified the result of this problem.

Australia is similar to Africa and developed because of the intervention of foreign populations. However, in terms of population, Australia is similar to North America.

The living space of the indigenous population has been squeezed, and even a large number of indigenous peoples have been exterminated and replaced by white races.

So, all that's left is the Americas.

America is relatively rich in arable land resources. North America has the Mississippi Plain, and although the Amazon Plain in South America is covered by virgin rainforest, humans are creatures that cannot be predicted by common sense.

Just like Zhu Zhanhe could use fire attack to win the Indochina Peninsula, if some Europeans fled to South America during this chaotic time, it is hard to say whether they would use fire attack to burn the Amazon rainforest into arable land.

and so……

……

"His Royal Highness."

Just as Zhu Zhanhe was meditating while looking at the map on the table with the top of the brush in his mouth, Zhu Ling's voice interrupted his thoughts.

His thoughts were disrupted, Zhu Zhanhe frowned, and his tone became less favorable: "Come in!"

"Report to His Royal Highness!"

Zhu Ling, who was very familiar with Zhu Zhanhe, knew that Zhu Zhanhe was not in a good mood when he heard the voice, so he fell to his knees as soon as he came in.

"The supply fleet that went to the English Channel to supply Commander Wang Jinghong has returned, and they brought back a message!"

With that said, Zhu Ling raised the secret letter in his hand above his head.

Zhu Zhanhe never let go of his frown, and took the secret letter with an ugly expression.

"Call Fan Zhong over!"

"Yes!"

……

Zhu Ling slowly exited the room and closed the door behind him. Only Zhu Zhanhe with an ugly face was left in the room, tightly holding the secret letter in his hand.

On that secret letter, except for the pinched and wrinkled part by Zhu Zhanhe, the words "Aragorn" and "France" can be vaguely seen.

After a while, Fan Zhong arrived outside Zhu Zhanhe's room.

"Last General Fan Zhong, greetings..."

"Come in!"

Before Fan Zhong could finish speaking, Zhu Zhanhe let him in.

Fan Zhong made a sudden move, but he still pushed the door open and walked in.

"have a look."

As soon as Fan Zhong came in, before he could salute, Zhu Zhanhe threw the secret letter in front of him.

Fan Zhong was a little confused, but he picked up the secret letter and read it.

There are not many words on the letter. Generally speaking, secret letters, especially those related to war, are mostly like this, explaining everything in the shortest words.

Fan Zhong is not a stupid person, after reading the secret letter, he knew why Zhu Zhanhe called him here, and even vaguely guessed Zhu Zhanhe's plan.

"Are you confident?"

Zhu Zhanhe didn't say anything, just popped out this sentence.

However, Fan Zhong already understood what Zhu Zhanhe wanted him to do.

"Have!"
