Daming: If I find a great-grandson, I will teach an emperor through the ages

Chapter 204: Establishing a country overseas?

What's even more terrifying is that the Kingdom of Sardinia's more than 500,000 troops were completely wiped out. Looking at the Ming army guarding Turin, the royal city of Sardinia, they only injured less than a thousand people!

Moreover, most of these injured soldiers were injured because they went out of the city to pursue the enemy and closed the distance with the enemy. The enemy counterattacked at the last moment, and they were caught off guard.

It can be said that the Ming Dynasty's 300,000-strong army was a crushing victory over Sardinia's 500,000-strong army!

This crushing victory once again demonstrated the powerful force of the Ming Dynasty.

Some European countries that had small calculations in their minds simply acted honestly.

They didn't dare to be dishonest. The last person to be dishonest was Modrelli, the old king of the former Sardinia. But what was the result?

The Ming Dynasty killed Old Modrelli's family without any effort at all, and easily occupied Sardinia, which Old Modrelli had managed all his life.

The Ming army is fine now, and so is Zhu Di, but old Modrelli has closed his eyes forever.

Zhu Di was killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, and his actual actions told them that this was the result of being dishonest under the Ming Dynasty and going against the Ming Dynasty! The law of the jungle is an eternal truth! A strong country can bully a weak country!

Ming Dynasty is strong enough now, so they have no other choice! We can only bow to Daming!

Committing themselves to the Ming Dynasty certainly made these European countries feel uncomfortable, after all, they had lost so many interests in vain.

But they also understand that it is better to die than to live. If you suffer a little loss, just suffer a little loss and save your life.

Old Modrelli and the Kingdom of Sardinia have already served as a warning, and no one dares to think otherwise.

Zhu Di gave the European countries enough time to digest the collapse of the Kingdom of Sardinia, and then directly ordered the kings of various countries to be summoned to continue discussing the signing of the treaty.

Lan Yu discussed matters with various countries, and only summoned envoys from various countries, mostly princes and ministers, but Zhu Di forcefully asked the kings of various countries to come in person. As long as the kings nodded, the matter was finalized, and there was no room for turning back. !

The kings of various countries did not dare to twist Daming's beard. After receiving Zhu Di's order, they all set off for the "Kingdom of Sardinia."

……

the other side,

The letter sent by Zhu Di finally arrived in the Ming Dynasty.

The first person to learn the news was naturally the Ming Emperor Zhu Xiongying.

After reading the letter, Zhu Xiongying had to sigh with emotion at Cao Wei's brilliant idea.

The last time Lan Yu came back from a message, saying that the Kingdom of Sardinia did not respect the Ming Dynasty and was secretly violating the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Xiongying originally wanted to send a large army to conquer it.

Taking advantage of Ming Dynasty, turning your back and treating Ming Dynasty like a monkey, there is no way to forgive this kind of thing! The Kingdom of Sardinia must pay a heavy price!

At the critical moment, Cao Wei calmed him down and suggested that Zhu Di go and deal with the matter.

Although Zhu Xiongying also knew that his fourth uncle was very powerful, he was still a little unsure in his heart.

After all, before Zhu Di was at most at war with Beiyuan and Japan, he could only fight against the power of one country. But the news they learned at that time was that old Modrelli had already contacted all European countries! What Zhu Di had to face in the past was probably the whole of Europe!

No matter how confident Zhu Xiongying was in Ming Dynasty's soldiers, in Ming Dynasty's repeating muskets and divine thunder cannons, he would not think that he could compete with all European countries with only 300,000 troops stationed in Europe.

The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are also human beings. They just have better combat literacy, stronger combat capabilities, and better weapons and equipment.

If all European countries attack together, the Ming army in Europe will definitely not be able to withstand it! This is the same as if there are too many ants, they can kill an elephant.

In the final analysis, without knowing the Battle of Jingnan and having never seen the prosperous age of Yongle, Zhu Xiongying didn't know how capable his fourth uncle was, but Cao Wei knew very well that Zhu Di was the Yongle Emperor who sealed the wolf in Xu! Don't you just have to deal with the uncivilized barbarians in Europe?

The fact is just as Cao Wei guessed. After Zhu Di went to Europe for a month, he occupied the royal city of Sardinia without any blood, killed the old Modrelli family who disrespected the Ming Dynasty, and severely intimidated the other European countries.

The Kingdom of Sardinia was destroyed, and Zhu Xiongying was furious. He immediately ran to Zhu Yuanzhang's palace to tell Zhu Yuanzhang the news.

But the maid in the palace told him that Zhu Yuanzhang was not in the palace and had left the palace early.

Now Zhu Xiongying didn't even have to guess, Zhu Yuanzhang must be in the Cao Mansion.

Ever since Zhu Hanming gave birth to his son Cao Lin, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had abdicated the throne, had all his heart focused on his grandson Cao Lin, and he wished he could hold him in his arms day and night.

Zhu Xiongying immediately ordered someone to carry the carriage, turned around and left the palace, all the way to Cao's Mansion. After entering the courtyard, he saw Zhu Yuanzhang and Xiao Cao Lin having a great time.

Little Cao Lin, who is less than one year old, is now a beautiful girl. She is crawling on the ground with her hands and feet, her bare buttocks moving little by little towards Zhu Yuanzhang who is squatting in front of him and opening his hands to him, saying "let's go" in his mouth. Unintelligible syllables.

Zhu Yuanzhang kept teasing Xiao Cao Lin, and the wrinkles on his face relaxed.

"Xiao Lin'er, Xiao Lin'er, come here quickly..."

Sitting beside them were Zhu Hanming and Concubine Han, mother and daughter talking and laughing.

I have to admit that every time Zhu Xiongying sees such a scene, he feels a little envious in his heart.

But now that he is the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he has heavy official duties waiting for him to handle every day, and he is destined not to feel free like Zhu Yuanzhang and others.

Zhu Xiongying shook his head with a smile, walked over, picked up little Cao Lin on the ground, and patted the dust on his body.

"The little guy is so heavy now."

As the only son of Grand Master Cao, Cao Lin naturally had no worries about food and drink, and he grew fat and healthy in just a few months.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and said, "Why do you have time to come over?"

Zhu Xiongying held Xiao Cao Lin in one hand and took out the letter sent by Zhu Di with the other hand, "Fourth uncle has returned with news."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and took it to read. After reading it, his face showed a look of relief.

The fourth child did well! It's really like us.

"The little kingdom of Sardinia has a foolish dream, and it deserves this end." Zhu Yuanzhang commented.

After speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang handed the letter back to Zhu Xiongying, "Cao Wei did not go to the manufacturing bureau today. He is in the house. Go and tell him."

"Yes, Grandpa Huang."

Zhu Yuanzhang took the little Cao Lin and started teasing his grandson again. Zhu Xiongying smiled and turned around and walked inside.

"Knock knock knock."

"Come in."

Zhu Xiongying opened the door and saw Cao Wei playing with something strange on the table. "Your Majesty," seeing Zhu Xiongying coming in, Cao Wei put down what he was holding, stood up and bowed to him.

"Master, there is no need to be formal. I am here to tell you good news."

"Let me take a guess, um... are there any results in Europe?" Cao Wei said with a smile.

"Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from the Grand Master," Zhu Xiongying said, taking out the letter and showing it to Cao Wei.

Cao Wei took it and read it. The content written in the letter was basically consistent with what he expected.

In terms of power, China is the ancestor of the whole world. How can those white turbans in Europe who don't even have a unified state at this time fight against Zhu Di?

Do you understand the gold content of Emperor Yongle?

"The movements of King Bingjian are still faster than I thought." Cao Wei said.

"However, this time the King of Side by Side defeated Sardinia with a thunderous force. I think other European countries must think carefully before they want to cause trouble again. If King Side by Side wants to sign treaties with European countries, there should be no more Any hindrance."

Zhu Xiongying nodded, then frowned and said, "But, how should we deal with this territory of Sardinia?"

Sardinia was conquered by Zhu Di and Ming soldiers, and it was impossible for other European countries to take advantage of it.

But if the Ming Dynasty wanted to keep Sardinia in its hands, it would have to let its own people go there to rest assured. Who should be sent to manage it?

After hearing this, Cao Wei was silent for a moment, and then raised his hand to Zhu Xiongying.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say, but I don't know whether to say it or not."

Seeing Cao Wei being so formal, Zhu Xiongying's face became solemn. There were only two of them here, what else could they not say?

"Grand Master, I just say it's okay."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"I believe that now that Sardinia is destroyed, it is an excellent opportunity for Ming Dynasty to launch its next deployment in Europe! Previously, we could only encircle a piece of land in Sardinia and station some of the army. Now if we can completely take over Sardinia in name, Ding, the Ming Dynasty has a transit station in Europe. Whether it is military or economic, the two are not the same, and the suppression of European countries is also completely different!"

Zhu Xiongying nodded, "What does Grand Master mean?"

"Your Majesty, why do we take this opportunity to... directly declare the founding of a country in Europe?"

Zhu Xiongying's eyes suddenly widened and his pupils shrank suddenly!

"Establishing a country?"

"Yes, establish a country! In this way, the Ming Dynasty can deploy troops in Europe in a reasonable and legal manner and completely control the entire Europe!"

"No longer dominating the situation in Europe, but controlling the whole of Europe!"

Zhu Xiongying lowered his head, still finding it difficult to accept Cao Wei's proposal.

For thousands of years, China has never established another country besides the main country!

If a country is established in Europe, how should the two emperors divide their subordinates?

And who should be sent to lead European affairs? If this person is in charge of a country, will he have second thoughts about the Ming Dynasty?

In just a short moment, countless questions flashed through Zhu Xiongying's mind!

Cao Wei's suggestion is too shocking. This is a road that no one has ever walked and no one dares to take!

When Cao Wei saw Zhu Xiongying frowning and thinking, he stopped talking.

He had been thinking about this suggestion for a long time.

Cao Wei knew that after Zhu Di went to Europe, he would be able to solve the troubles caused by Sardinia. With Zhu Di's character of retribution, if nothing else happened, Sardinia would be gone.

So, what about the territory that Sardinia occupied with the help of Ming Dynasty?

Did you find a pleasant European country to send it to? Obviously it is not in the interests of Ming Dynasty.

And the territory of Sardinia is not as small as Dongyi Province. It is also inappropriate to divide it into another independent province of the Ming Dynasty. How can a province be so big?

The remaining two methods are colonization and other methods of establishing a country.

colonial……

Cao Wei felt that since they had already gone down the road of colonization, why not just establish another country?

The original intention of colonization is for a powerful country to immigrate to the areas it conquers, but unlike ordinary immigrants, colonization is to immigrate to the areas it conquers. Therefore, the colonization process usually includes four steps: exploration, conquest, settlement and development. Still politically and economically subordinate to the mother country.

It sounds like colonization is more in line with today's Ming Dynasty because it can maintain a high degree of unity.

But after all, colonization is still an outsider, indirectly managing the local area, unable to seize all the benefits generated by the region.

Once upon a time, British colonies spread across half of the world, but did these colonies ultimately belong to Britain?

The problem is here, colonization is to plunder local interests, and founding a country is also to plunder local interests. Why not do it directly?

Establishing a country directly on the land of Sardinia, there is no need to go to other European countries for colonial rule. With the presence of the "Great Ming Kingdom" in Europe, they have been ruled in disguise!

Besides, colonization and colonization are not the same thing.

During the colonial period, the colonists managed the local area appropriately and did not harm the local people. In the end, the people may still appreciate you.

But if, like the Spanish colonization, the local people were not treated as human beings to cause trouble, people would remember this hatred in their hearts afterwards, and they might stab you in the back at some point!

There will be no such problem when establishing a country. No matter how the people in power treat the people under their rule, it is their own business.

If there is really a big problem in this country later, and it cannot escape from the drama of national subjugation, it has nothing to do with Ming Dynasty. Ming Dynasty is still a country with a long history of etiquette.

However, in Cao Wei's mind, if Zhu Di is allowed to be the emperor of this "country", then there should be no serious problems in this country.

Maybe, Zhu Di can establish another "Yongle Dynasty" in addition to the powerful Ming Empire. That is a strong alliance, and Asia and Europe will be controlled by the Ming Dynasty!

Of course, the affiliation between the two countries must be well established! Corresponding policies must also be developed to maintain this affiliation.

The question that Cao Wei is most concerned about is whether Zhu Xiongying will agree to the proposal to establish another country in Europe.

After all, creating two emperors may not have much impact on others, but it will put a lot of pressure on the emperor who takes the lead in the Ming Dynasty.

If Zhu Xiongying disagrees, he can only continue to colonize honestly.

"Grand Master," Zhu Xiongying raised his head after pondering.

"If a country were to be established in Europe, who do you think should be the king of that country?"

Cao Wei said seriously:

"If His Majesty really agrees to establish a country, then even if the land of the Kingdom of Sardinia really comes to the Ming Dynasty, it is natural to choose a capable person to manage it. After all, only when the country gets better and better can it continue to provide Ming Dynasty. Convey benefits.”

"If you randomly send someone to mess around and turn the "Kingdom of Sardinia" and even Europe into a mess, you will not be able to provide any benefits to the Ming Dynasty, and the original intention of founding the country will have no meaning."
