Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 502 Shift of Center of Gravity
Zhu Zhanhe left Rome and boarded the ship back to Shuntianfu.

This was originally Zhu Zhanhe's plan. He would return to Daming before winter this year, and if there were no special circumstances, he would most likely not leave Daming in the future.

As for Europe...

Although after the Age of Discovery, the most popular people on the historical stage were grape buds and the English, in fact, during this period of the fifteenth century, they really didn't count.

With the strength of the Ming army, it would be a matter of time before they swallowed up Western Europe, and it would not be difficult to swallow up the island of Great Britain. The only thing that could hinder the Ming army was the alliance headed by the Kingdom of Denmark in Northern Europe.

But that's not because of how strong they are, but because the latitude there is too high, even close to the Arctic Circle, and there is too little time to fight throughout the year.

In fact, Zhu Zhanhe was not particularly satisfied with this arrangement.

As one of the initiators of the dark period for flower growers, and can be said to be the biggest culprit, he actually wanted to personally command and destroy the Kingdom of England, and personally supervised the construction of a large capital on the other side's mother river, the Thames River.

But there is no way. Compared with the present, Zhu Zhanhe pays more attention to the future.

At this level, Zhu Zhanhe actually no longer cares about the throne, or even who the successor to the throne is.

For Zhu Zhanhe, no matter who the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty is, as long as he can lead the Ming Dynasty to higher and further directions, or even maintain the status quo, that is enough.

However, among the next generation of Ming Dynasty, there are only two people, Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Qiming.

If his younger brother Zhu Zhandong and others could have a son seven or eight years earlier, he wouldn't mind taking care of him well, and even let him become the master of Ming Dynasty in the future.

However, there is no alternative.

Baozong, he was not going to believe it, and it was impossible to believe it, because Zhu Zhanhe didn't think that Empress Sun, who was full of hatred in her heart, could teach such an outstanding monarch.

Of course, this does not mean that Zhu Qiming can do it. If Zhu Qiming grows crooked, Zhu Zhanhe will unceremoniously invalidate his inheritance qualification.

However, as of now, Zhu Zhanhe believes that the next generation he has taught, no matter how outrageous, should not be as outrageous as the Bao Sect.

……

Aachen.

After Zhu Zhanhe left Rome, Zhu Sanfeng immediately sent an order to Liu Qingwen in Vienna, asking him to come and guard Rome. He went all the way north to Aachen to meet Jian Xiao.

"Did His Royal Highness really say that?" Jian Xiao frowned, a little confused.

"Do I dare to joke with you about this kind of thing?" Zhu Sanfeng was also puzzled.

"At the beginning, I was also very puzzled as to why His Royal Highness would give such an order, but it turns out that I heard it right. That's what His Royal Highness said."

"Hmm..." Jane rubbed her chin with a smile.

"Logically speaking, as of now, we don't have many interactions with the English. Although Wang Jinghong's fleet was attacked by the English when it crossed the English Channel before, it was normal. After all, everyone knew it at the time. We want to cut off the only way for the English to go south."

"Besides, the English did not cause any casualties to Wang Jinghong's fleet that time, so His Highness would not be so concerned."

"Other than that, we have nothing to do with the English anymore, right? That's it for now."

"If there is nothing we don't know..." Zhu Sanfeng pondered for a long time, and then said with some certainty.

"It should be gone."

"Before we attacked the Holy Roman Empire, the English were busy annexing the Kingdom of France and didn't care about us at all. As you said just now, there were conflicts with the king's fleet, but it was not serious, and it was not something that His Royal Highness would emphasize. "

"Going forward...His Royal Highness does value friendship. He helped us get back everything we encountered in the Ottoman Empire and Timurid Empire, but he had nothing to do with the English back then... …”

As for Zhu Zhanhe's final order, both of them were confused and puzzled.

"Forget it, don't think about this." Jian Xiao couldn't figure it out in the end and could only give up.

"Since His Royal Highness's order has been given, it naturally makes sense. We don't need to think too much, just follow it."

"We have done this kind of thing all the time. Besides, isn't this what we are best at?"

"Well, that's right..." Zhu Sanfeng nodded when she heard this, but soon, she looked at Jian Xiao as if she suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also said before leaving that it is estimated that next year, His Highness the Fourth Prince will come to Xuntian Mansion to take over the affairs here, but only for matters other than war. The war will still be dominated by the three of us, the Wu brothers, Xue I will be assisted by Crown Prince Shouhe’s bodyguards.”

"But there is one thing. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he would encourage and arrange for some people of the Ming Dynasty to come here. After all, it would be a pity to abandon the vast plains here."

"There should be some people from Uzzandusi in the future, but there won't be many, and there won't be any officials or generals, they are just civilians."

"As for the reason, you and I both know."

"Well, I understand." Jian Xiao nodded after hearing this.

He did know why.

In fact, the reason why Uzangdusi was very peaceful during the Ming and Qing dynasties in history was that the Little Ice Age sharply reduced the production of highland barley on the plateau, and the population also decreased, making it impossible to support an adequate army.

But if you give them enough land, it will be difficult to guarantee that they will not rise like Tubo during the Tang Dynasty, or even become a threat to the Central Plains.

"Okay, let's get moving if nothing happens?" Zhu Sanfeng stood up as he spoke.

"I will guard Aachen here for a while while you return to Rome. On the way, let Liu Qingwen and Xing Kun guard Vienna, and ask Wu Kezhong, the boss of the Wu brothers, to come to Aachen."

"When everything is arranged, I will take Wu Keqin, Xue Shou and others to meet Qian Yong."

"No problem." Jian Xiao nodded and stood up.

"We have never fought against the Kingdom of England. The specific situation is not clear yet, but according to His Royal Highness, our strength is far stronger than theirs."

"Let's try to solve the problem in the Kingdom of France first by this time next year."

"Okay, that's it..."

……

Just when Zhu Zhanhe left Europe and the Ming army in Europe was operating normally, the Xiangzhou Prefecture also prepared gifts to welcome Zhu Zhanhe's arrival.

Today's Ming Dynasty has long left that corner of peace, and the pattern has long since turned to the world.

If it was just development before, then the goal in the future is to stabilize the places that have been developed and the structure of the entire world.

The gift Zhu Zhanqi prepared for his eldest brother this time can be said to be an important step in achieving this goal.

　I've been doing real estate transfers for the past two days, and it's very troublesome to transfer large amounts. Today, the housing certificate came out and the update is resumed.
