Chapter 242
24 years of Apocalypse!

Jiashen.

Nanhai Xuanwei Division, its capital is Pingnan Town, Yunding County.

The so-called "Yunding County" is located in Yunding Plateau. Although it is a beautiful plateau covered by mountains, it is a rare summer resort for the South China Sea, which is close to the equator, because the temperature is around 20 degrees all year round.

It is also because of this that Shi Yiwen chose this place as the capital of the South China Sea Propaganda Division in order to avoid the high temperature in the South China Sea after moving to the South China Sea.

Of course, correspondingly, Johor will destroy the country.Well, there is also the takeback of Malacca.

this day.

As the sun was about to break, Shi Yiwen got up early.

Today is March nineteenth.

Perhaps, for ordinary people, this day has no meaning, but Shi Yiwen is very clear about what this day means.

In another world, this day is the anniversary of Emperor Chongzhen's death.It was on this day that, facing the fall of the capital, he walked towards the crooked neck tree.

But now?
There is no more Emperor Chongzhen in the world, only one Xinwang.

Emperor Tianqi stayed in the capital well and did not fall into the water to die.

Standing on the verandah in front of the hall, Shi Yiwen just looked towards the north like that. In fact, many big families in the South China Sea have similar high terraces.Commonly known as "Wangxiang Terrace", no matter where Ming people go, they will always remember where their roots are.

The same is true for the hometown of Wang Wang after death. In Nanhai, all Ming people's tombstones are engraved with their ancestral home, even on the household registration certificate, the ancestral home will be clearly written to show that they will not forget their roots.Of course, the tombstone also faces the same direction - Daming!
Ordinary people are like this, and Shi Yiwen is also not immune to the same. Of course, his mood is different from ordinary people. As the South China Sea Consolation Envoy, he is very clear about what his existence means to Daming.

"It seems that there is no chance for Lord Qing right now!"

Shi Yiwen sighed helplessly.

24 years of Apocalypse!

Jiashen... Daming is still there!
But what does the world of Daming look like?

Bandits are still causing chaos everywhere, and the world is not peaceful. Compared with the mainland, the South China Sea has become a paradise-like existence.

It even attracted many gentry to move their families to the South China Sea in order to escape the war.

In short, the war in Ming Dynasty brought another wave to the South China Sea.

"I just don't know how long it can last..."

Thinking about possible future conflicts, even wars.Shi Yiwen frowned.

When Daming gets out of internal troubles, what is waiting for the South China Sea?
By then, war may even be inevitable!
Without the crooked neck tree, it is really tangled!

Although a little helpless, Shi Yiwen was happy to see all of this deep in his heart. At least the germination of capitalism in Ming Dynasty would not be destroyed by the flames of war, let alone the enslavement of foreign races.

The current Daming, as the factory of the world, will one day have an industrial revolution. At that time, even the Zhu family emperor may be powerless to prevent this from happening, unable to stop the progress of society.

Of course, what is the corresponding?
It is necessary to prepare a way out for yourself.

"It is still necessary to further increase the speed of immigration to North America!"

Facing the large world map in the study, Shi Yiwen once again set his sights on North America. Compared with the South China Sea, which is now being targeted by the imperial court, the vast North American continent does not attract their attention at all. How do they know , compared to the South China Sea, that piece of land is the real future of China's expansion.

Perhaps, for Daming, the South China Sea will become Daming's granary, another "land of plenty".In a few decades, there will be a saying that "the South China Sea is abundant, the world is full", but that's it.Only by owning North America can China truly own the world.

It doesn't matter what South Asian subcontinent, what Australia, what South America, what Africa.The most important thing is the North American continent!
With that piece of land, Huaxia will have a real future!

"That is the real "Promised Land"!"

Staring at the map, Shi Yiwen said to himself.

"We still need a steam engine. As long as we have a steam engine and a railway, we can build a Pacific Railway to send a steady stream of immigrants to the Great Plains of North America..."

However, the development of the steam engine has not been smooth until now.Although Shi Yiwen has solved many technical problems, there are still many technical problems that have not been solved. Now... it is almost just a prototype.

"Wait a little longer, there is plenty of time anyway!"

On this point, Shi Yiwen has enough self-confidence. He is still young and has plenty of time. Time is on his side. As for Daming?

Perhaps, Da Ming passed the Jiashen Year safely, but the life of Da Ming was not peaceful.The continuous famine has turned tens of millions of people into refugees, and the long-standing conflicts have been detonated one after another in natural disasters.

In the face of the uprisings, although the government continued to send troops to suppress them, groups of rioters were killed, and millions of bandits were exiled to various places in Nanyang, but the problem still could not be solved fundamentally.

Bandits are like leeks, once they are suppressed, there will be another one.

However, it was these rogue bandits that allowed the court to have a steady stream of immigrants to the South China Sea.

Although those rogues who surrendered were exiled to the South China Sea, compared to the mainland of Ming Dynasty, where natural disasters continued, the weather in the South China Sea was relatively smooth. Although they were exploited by the government, their life was definitely much better than in the mainland.

Although they used to be bandits, in Jingnan (Siam), Zhaoyuan (Chenla) and Luzon, the colonies of the Ming Dynasty, the people were the most staunch supporters of the Ming court. After all, here they can eat enough Rice, can marry a native, can live a peaceful life.

From their point of view, all of this was entirely a gift from the Ming Emperor. Of course, they naturally forgot about the suffering they had suffered. At most, they blamed everything in the past on corrupt officials.Under the exploitation of the court officials, these colonies still shipped millions of stones of grain back to Daming, and the grain from the South China Sea saved countless people.

Even if the Ming Dynasty declines one day, these overseas colonies will probably support a certain king of the Zhu family to inherit the throne!

It has to be said that sometimes inadvertent changes in history are always a little bit unexpected.

Of course, for all of this, Shi Yiwen is happy to see the results, no matter what, the meat is rotten in the pot, at least everyone speaks Chinese, and they are all descendants of Yan and Huang.

That's enough.

At least, this South China Sea belongs to China, just like the "clothes south crossing" in history, this time, the descendants of Yan and Huang started another round of "clothes south crossing".
