Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 304 The World Was Never Yours
In Xitian Mansion, Zhu Youlang and Queen Wang were preparing to board the ship returning home with their thoughts up and down.

On the pier, Zhu Youlang looked at the huge steamship with a displacement of [-] tons, and was also very surprised, "Can all ships be built so big?"

Cai Jiangliu, Governor of Xitian Mansion, smiled slightly and replied: "Your Majesty does not know that our country's shipbuilding technology has made great progress. Ever since the multi-expansion steam engine matured, some shipyards have considered building a huge passenger ship with a capacity of [-] tons. Transporting passengers to and from Southeast Asia, Australia, and the mainland of Ming Dynasty, but the demand is not so great now, and I may not be able to recover after the investment, so most of the steamships built now are five to six thousand tons."

Zhu Youlang didn't quite understand, but those who didn't understand were the most powerful.

He sighed again: "Has the Tartars really been defeated? It's only been two years."

Queen Wang also said: "Yes, Xuan'er's letters always feel unreal."

Cai Jiangliu still smiled: "There have been many new immigrants from Australia in the past few months, most of them are from Jiangnan, Huguang, and some from the north. If His Highness had not recovered these places, it would be impossible for such a large-scale immigration to come. .”

After Tang Beilu left, Cai Jiangliu became the chief envoy of Australia. In the early days, Bai Mingxiu designated Australia as a province. Later, he singled out Australia and designated it as the chief secretary of Australia, also known as the Australian leader. The same level as Xuanfu Division.Australia is also the only Chief Secretary, which was drawn up by the Council of Legislative Yuan alone to match the territory of Australia - dominated by Han Chinese or highly Sinicized ethnic groups, with a large area and extremely high strategic value in the future, but at this time the land is sparsely populated of colonies.

In fact, Australia is really not the main destination in Bai Mingxiu's immigration blueprint. Bai Mingxiu's positioning of Australia is mainly a land reserve.Especially now that Bai Mingxiu has started to build industrial zones in Guangdong and Jiangnan, Australia's industrial capabilities are not that important anymore.There was even a wave of reverse immigration in order to support the local industrial construction. In fact, when Xitian Mansion was taken out by the system, there was an industrial overcapacity, so the local officials asked Bai Mingxiu to find a way to solve the overcapacity .

In this era of transoceanic international trade, profits will be affected after all.Bai Mingxiu pondered for a long time, and almost moved more than half of Australia's industrial production capacity back to the mainland, while Australia maintained its basic self-sufficient industrial production capacity and provided the local area with various products including wool, iron ore, gold and silver, tobacco, and cotton. raw materials, while also accepting various other commodities from the native land.

Bai Mingxiu tricked some people to immigrate to Australia, but most of them went to reclaim land.

After listening to Cai Jiangliu's words, Zhu Youlang felt both unreal and very excited.

"Thanks to my son, I didn't become a subjugated king, and I didn't let my ancestors down."

Cai Jiangliu said to Yongli: "Your Majesty, this time your relocation is not only a happy event for the restoration of the country, but also you have to consider where the Ming Dynasty will go in the future."

When Yongli heard it, he also hesitated.The Queen Wang beside him was even more worried and reached out her hand to grab her husband.

It's not that Empress Wang doesn't understand what Cai Jiangliu means, she's quite famous and decisive, and it's only when she was fleeing that year that she often acted stronger than the emperor Zhu Youlang.

"Your Majesty, the ministers and concubines have a word. Now that the Ming Dynasty has been restored, the expulsion of the Tartars and the restoration of the country are all thanks to Xuan'er. Although Xuan'er is young, he is very capable, and he has many capable ministers and generals to assist him. When His Majesty returns to the court, if the handling is not smooth, it may cause chaos and ruin the situation that Xuan'er worked so hard to create."

Zhu Youlang valued his wife very much. He was a little surprised and asked, "What does the queen mean?"

Empress Wang was heartbroken, and she simply opened up and said: "Your Majesty, you have never sat on this dragon chair in the imperial city of the capital. Now that you arrive in Beijing, sit on it and pass the seat to Xuan'er! The ministers and concubines can see that now, including Mrs. Cai, the ministers in the court are interested in Xuan'er. If you really want to govern the country, I am afraid that these people will not listen to you. Besides, the hundreds of thousands of troops , they were all born and died with Xuan'er, how could they agree with His Majesty, an emperor who lives far away in Australia? Xuan'er is your blood, and we grew up little by little. When Xuan'er becomes the emperor, he will definitely not I'm sorry for you, if you like to be in Xitian Mansion, we will go back to Xitian Mansion, if you don't like it, the world is so big, you can play everywhere..."

After Zhu Youlang heard what Queen Wang said, his mentality almost collapsed. He lost his temper when he stood up, and said, "How can you do this! I am the emperor, I am the emperor! I can govern the world, love the people like a son, and I can do it too." How do you know that I can't be a good emperor?"

Cai Jiangliu was still smiling, and said to Zhu Youlang: "Your Majesty, since you came to the throne, you have almost been running for your life, from Zhaoqing to Guilin, Guizhou, Yunnan, and Burma. Burma fought back to Yunnan, conquered Guangdong, Guangxi, Jiangnan, Huguang, and now the capital. Tell me, who do the common people look up to more? I have no doubt that your majesty is a benevolent king, and he treats his subordinates generously, but Compared with the ability of governing, how do you compare with the prince? The prince is determined to forge ahead, knows people and uses them well, and finally recovers Daming from a very disadvantaged situation. This kind of ability can be said to be unprecedented. What's more, the prince led a group of The courtiers managed to take over the world with great difficulty. If you suddenly returned to the court, took over the power of the prince, and appointed a group of courtiers who did not make any contribution, but only welcomed you and flattered you, then the courtiers who made great achievements will What do you think? What will the soldiers think? What will the common people think? Needless to say, the chaos that Hong Guangchao greeted Li Li made a mess, and in the end everyone became a ghost. This ending is what His Majesty wants ?"

Zhu Youlang broke out in cold sweat after hearing this. After all, he is an indecisive person and a good person, but he can't accomplish great things. Once he faces difficult things, he can't make a decision.

Queen Wang also knew her husband's characteristics. She pulled Zhu Youlang and said sharply, "Your Majesty, the world already belongs to Xuan'er. Don't let the old incidents of Xuanwumen and the sound of candle shadows and axes repeat in my Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Youlang's mind was like Hong Zhong Dalu, and now he was completely awake.That's right, the world has never had anything to do with him, and he has never been in power at all.Even if he returned to the court and wanted to gain power, would he be able to gain power?Most of the courtiers in the court had never seen him, and they were all promoted by their sons; the soldiers had never fought with him;

If he really wants to take back the crown prince's position, it is guaranteed that there will be a mutiny below, and a knife will be placed on his neck to force him to become the overlord.

Zhu Youlang figured it out, and said helplessly, "Come here, prepare an edict for me, I want to write an edict to give up Xuan'er..."
