My Daming New Empire

Not only that, he wants to let Ming's army occupy more places, make most of the world belong to the Han people, and let the Han people become the main body of the world.

For this purpose, what a waste of money!

Zhu Zhanji sighed and said, "Grandpa Huang, you are the commander in chief of the army. If you are not firm in your goal, the generals will be at a loss."

He nodded and said, "That's the purpose of what I said at the beginning. As for the garrison, that's a matter for the future."

Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said: "For different purposes, different methods will be used. If it is only for conquest, the army can kill and burn without restraint, regardless of the little property captured. But if you want to extend the rule of Ming Dynasty In the past, some areas of interest to us had to be protected and not cause irreparable hatred."

He hummed, and said to Li Qian, "Go and get a map of the central part of Central Continent."

Central Continent is Asia, but now it has been renamed Central Continent.

World maps and globes are only spread in a small area, because there is still South America in this world, and North America is not known.

However, some regional maps have begun to spread, such as the huge map of Ming Dynasty. Although the selling price is as high as [-] yuan a piece, there are still countless people who save money and buy a copy to keep at home.

When many big families are separating, they have to look at the map and determine with the clansmen where they want to relocate.

Today's map of Ming Dynasty extends from the Arctic Ocean in the north, the Bering Strait, and Antarctica in the south, including the later generations of Australia, New Zealand, and many small islands in the Pacific Ocean.

And the west goes all the way to Moscow, because it is still the territory of the Golden Horde, so it is marked by color as an "area to be conquered".

The southwestern part includes half of Africa and Madagascar, but it is printed in the corner of the map separately in the form of a small map.

This is not because I am afraid that the scale of the map will be out of balance, but I just don't want people to know the entire chart.

Even the Arabs are now only trading with Europe through the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. They don't know how big Africa is, what shape it is, and how far it will go.

Their ships only went as far as Tanzania in later generations, and they have not been to the south.

The overall world map was the biggest secret until the Ming Dynasty occupied absolute dominance in each region.

The world map will only appear after Ming maintains its advantage in each area.

Since the news of Nanzhou came back the year before last, at the same time, there was also a letter brought back by Zhu Zhanji.

In the letter, Zhu Zhanji persuaded Zhu Di to loosen control over immigration while maintaining strict household registration.

Since the time of Zhu Yuanzhang, Ming has been immigrating, but it is an official emigration, which is compulsory and makes the people miserable.

During Zhu Di's period, because of the large disparity between the number of people in the north and the south, forced immigration was carried out several times, and land was distributed for free.

But the effect is still not good, because in some areas in the north, the land is barren, and now there are no potatoes and corn, so there is no food to grow there, so what is the use of more land?

The purpose of Zhu Zhanji's letter was to allow Zhu Di to open the map of Daming to a limited extent, and then let the government print various introductory atlases, introducing the characteristics and products of each place, climate characteristics, population ratio, preferential treatment for immigrants, etc.

Every poor person without land, including the concubine sons of the big families who share their output, can freely choose where they want to go when they go to the government to register.

The government gave him a way out, and he could stay in post stations along the way, and he could receive quilts, tools, and seeds when he arrived at the destination.

The repayment starts from the second year, and the tax is paid according to the minimum share from the third year.

As long as you are not a lazy person, you can survive and support a large family.

Of course, Zhu Di will not follow the rules, but he also implemented the free immigration plan according to this idea.

Not to mention, the previous forced immigration was a disaster for the country and the people, and people were unwilling to leave their homeland even if they were beaten to death.

However, this free-choice immigration policy is very popular, and the number of private spontaneous immigrants is greater than the number of people in the compulsory period.

Of course, Zhu Di put the credit for this matter on himself, and he was extremely satisfied when he heard the people calling for the emperor's sage.

The regional map of some places near the Timurid Kingdom in Zhongzhou was brought over. The grandfather and grandson looked at the map for a long time, and Zhu Di still said reluctantly: "The northwest is across the desert, and the surrounding area of ​​Samarkand is also a good place. ah."

Of course, Zhu Zhanji is also very familiar with the five Central Asian countries. Although there are many Turks there, most of them are Mongolians.

Moreover, by controlling there, Ming can radiate its power to Europe.The Russians are still obediently nesting around Moscow, don't even think about developing eastward, otherwise, the army can go to Moscow at any time.

However, with such a long distance, in today's environment of inconvenient transportation and inconvenient communication, it takes countless manpower and material resources to stabilize the rule.

The best way is to support the power of the Mongolian Yuan people, establish a stable vassal state, and let them guard the gates of the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing that Zhu Di was interested there, Zhu Zhanji expressed his thoughts.The lobby was so powerful at that time, and it went all the way to the Caspian Sea, but it was lost there in the end.

The main factor is self-government, which consumes too much manpower and material resources, and is beyond our capabilities.If you support the Mongols to rule there, Daming only needs to support the locals with some weapons to extend their influence.

And when the time is ripe, you can also send troops to directly occupy it.

As for Afghanistan and the Iranian plateau in the south, neither Zhu Di nor Zhu Zhanji are interested.Except for some small gold mines, there is almost nothing produced there.

And that side is near the sea, as long as the Ming Fleet can control the sea, they are not afraid of them shaking the sky.

Therefore, the grandfather and grandson quickly reached a consensus that the southern conquest should be the main focus, while the northern occupation should be the main focus.

"The grandson went to sea this time, and got a lot of local books and information about the major local tribal forces in Hulumos. Since the Timurid Kingdom has the same ruling methods as the Mongol Yuan, their local rule is not monolithic. So how? Conquer, how to occupy, the grandson still needs to sort it out.”

Zhu Di nodded and said: "I've been waiting for three years, and I don't care about these 20 days. ... But it's better to sort it out sooner. As long as the civil servants don't hold back, we must immediately determine the generals of all parties and start to formulate detailed tactical strategies. You Grandpa, I can't wait."

What you said...is really speechless!

Zhu Zhanji agreed, and Zhu Di left with satisfaction.

And Zhu Zhanji came out and sat in front of the desk, feeling at a loss as to where to start.

This time the army is going on an expedition, the South Route Army is easy to handle, and it will go directly by boat, so you don’t have to worry too much about logistics and supplies.

But the Northern Route Army has to travel thousands of miles, passing through several countries in the middle.This marching route and logistical supplies are all a test of people's ability.

And which country to win over, which country to occupy, and which tribe to subdue, also need to be screened one by one according to the actual situation, and treated differently.

Moreover, he didn't know who the commander-in-chief of the North Route Army was. I'm afraid Zhu Di himself hadn't made up his mind.Different generals have different styles, and different tactics should be formulated according to different people.

More importantly, for the Oala and Tatars in the north, should we take them to the expedition this time, who to take, and what price to pay.

Because it is impossible for Zhu Zhanji to lead the army, thinking of the complicated situation and relationship, he still couldn't help worrying about the candidate for the coach of the North Route Army.

Although Zhu Di is under the name of Yujia, but this time he is going to make soy sauce.

If the current Daming wants him to lead the army himself, those generals will die.

He thought for a while, but he didn't have a clue, so he ordered Li Liang, who was standing by the side, to say, "Go and ask Grandpa Huang, have you come up with any plans for the various armies? Who are the leading generals?"

Li Liang went, and he ordered Liu Wan again. "You ask someone to bring over all the materials I have collected about Timur Kingdom tomorrow morning. In the past few days, we will sort out these materials first. Well, go and call Sun Lin over first, I want to ask him Intelligence from the Northwest."

As soon as Liu Wan went out, he met a court lady who was whispering to the servant on duty, and when she saw Liu Wan, she quickly saluted.

"I met Liu Shaojian."
