My Daming New Empire

In the first year of Zhengtong, he made a big circle in Nanzhou. In the second year of Zhengtong, he followed the equator line from Turtle Island, all the way to the east, and ventured into Dongzhou bravely.

However, when he arrived in Dongzhou, his health was a bit unwell. In the later generations of Peru, there was no rain all year round and the climate was hot, which was very good for his rheumatism and cold legs.

So he lived there for a year, and returned to Daming in May of the third year of Zhengtong.

When he returned to Daming at the end of June, he began to have people write books.At this time, he already felt that his time was running out.

But in less than a month and a half, on August [-]th, he had only written half of his life story, and he had already passed away in the Nine Five Flying Dragon Hall in the northeast corner of the palace.

Hearing Xu Youzhen's answer, Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "After the production line is debugged, it will be fully produced. In addition to transporting 500 muskets and [-] million bullets to Zheng Hong first, the rest of the muskets produced will be produced according to the standards of Jingwei, Jingjun, and Frontier Army. Frontier guards, the order of the local guards is replaced with new muskets."

"What about the Navy?"

"The Navy can wait a little later. Does my Ming Fleet have any opponents at sea?"

Everyone laughed, now the Ming Dynasty can produce iron keels, iron-clad ships with internal wood and external iron, but other countries can't even build large ships with more than [-] stone.

What's more, the development of Ming Dynasty's artillery has not stagnated. Now that there are real artillery that can separate shells, other countries are still playing reloading and running.

They really can't learn this even if they want to steal it, because chemical raw materials are not a technology that can be learned by looking at them, even if they put new explosives in front of them, they can't make it without that technology and idea.

Zhu Zhanji blocked new explosives, various medicines, new chemical raw materials, rubber, ceramics, petroleum refining and other technologies at the highest level.

Even all kinds of chemical knowledge are never taught by polytechnic colleges, and only selected students from good families can learn this knowledge.

And all the children who have learned this knowledge are basically not allowed to go to other countries.Even going out of the mainland of Ming Dynasty will be strictly controlled.

Zhu Zhanji will never let other countries ignite this anti-tech tree easily.

Xie Yun cleared his throat, and continued to report: "Duke Huai's fief was hit by hurricanes and heavy rains, and he suffered heavy losses. He appealed to the court for help through the Nanzhou Governor's Mansion, but was rejected by several court officials because of the delay in paying taxes for the construction of the palace."

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "The local government should properly resettle the people. As for King Huai, he is ordered to pay taxes before the autumn harvest..."

Chapter 3 Prince Edward

There are ten Zhu Zhanji brothers, but only five of them have offspring, and the remaining five either died unmarried or had no children after death.

At the beginning, the five brothers divided Nanzhou, so that the nine brothers were all sealed, and now there is still one place vacant.

The empty place is Northwest Australia, which was originally entrusted to Yue King Zhu Zhanyong, where the environment is harsh and there is little arable land, and the iron ore that was originally an economic engine has not yet been excavated.

The main reason for this is that real steel freighters have not yet been built, and the transportation volume of freighters is limited. The cost of pulling iron ore from Australia is much higher than the cost in the mainland.

The iron ore there can really play a role only when the real freighter of more than [-] tons is built.

Because that piece of land was deserted, after Zhu Zhanyong passed away, it was vacated there.

Back then, Zhu Zhanyin, the fourth child, was drawn to the fertile areas around Melbourne, but unfortunately, he died of illness before arriving in Nanzhou.This place was later entrusted to the seventh son, Huai Wang Zhu Zhanqi.

Zhu Zhanqi also died in the 23rd year of Zhengtong, and his eldest son Zhu Qiquan succeeded as King Huai.

Zhu Qiquan was born in the 12th year of Zhengtong and grew up in Yingtian Mansion. In 28 years, at the age of 16, Zhu Zhanji sent him to Nanzhou Huaizhou Mansion as a feudal lord.

Maybe it was because Zhu Zhanji disciplined him too strictly at the beginning, or maybe it was because the gap between Huaizhou Mansion and Yingtian Mansion was too great.After arriving in Huaizhou Mansion, he began to like luxury, and he didn't dare to go beyond the rules, and became a rich prince.

Huaizhou Prefecture is also the future Melbourne. There are rivers everywhere, fertile land, and many small gold mines. The local area is very rich.

But there is one great weather hazard out there, and that is hurricanes.

Although the hurricanes there are not as famous as the windy cities of Wellington and Chicago, the strong winds are more violent.

Especially in the summer every year, there are winds eight out of ten days, and there are often hurricanes.This year, it has been hit by many storms, and the seedlings grown locally have been uprooted by the hurricanes.

What's more, after the beginning of summer, the local area has experienced heavy rains and floods everywhere. Except for the pastures that have reaped a lot of benefits, almost all the farmland has suffered.

Zhu Qiquan was eating enough food, and now that he couldn't make up the accounts, he began to worry.

Zhu Zhanji didn't have the heart to wipe his ass, even if such a thing happened to his own son, he wouldn't take care of it, let alone this nephew.

But the care still needs to be taken care of, and the image of the royal family cannot be damaged.

In this era, it is not advisable to talk about democracy. Without the existence of classes, ordinary people themselves will not follow them.

Climbing from the bottom to the top is the inner desire and pursuit of every ordinary person, the goal of every minister, and the motivation for every craftsman to improve technology.

If you really want all people to be equal, it will only lead to chaos in society.Because everyone is equal, why bother to fight?

Freedom and democracy are the honey that the upper class of Western society gives to the common people after occupying the top of the food chain.

They occupy most of the resources of the society, and then pretend to be generous, saying that they give freedom and democracy to the people, but in fact they just replace power and class with capital.

The United States and Saudi Arabia, the most distinctive Western countries in the future, are examples. The United States advocates freedom and democracy, but in fact the minority leads the majority, and the majority is represented.

Saudi Arabia, on the other hand, is a typical big government with distinct classes, and the royal family controls the distribution of all resources.

Is there real freedom and democracy?of course not!

Whenever the composition of society has classes, dissatisfaction is the source of motivation for the development of the entire society.

Just like the so-called communism, it’s all communism, and I’m still a fart, why don’t I enjoy life every day?

So, these are just idealisms that will never turn into realisms.

Xie Yun's voice sounded again: "On the southern continent of Dongzhou, His Royal Highness King Qin and His Royal Highness King Su have been confronting each other for more than half a year because of the silver mine discovered on the border. Governor Dong Haigong failed to mediate, and we can only wait for His Majesty's order."

Dongzhou now has a governor's mansion and two admiral's mansions.

The post-Governor's Office is located in Panama, and its jurisdiction includes all ports, as well as the vast sea area south of Mexico City, north of the Amazon forest, and the Caribbean Sea.

Their naval fleet of the entire East Continent, including the coastal ports, is responsible for the maritime trade of the entire East Continent, but does not participate in the internal management of the East Continent.

Governor Yang Dao is an old man trusted by Zhu Zhanji. Except for returning to Daming for a period of time between the orthodox ten and fifteen years, he spent most of his time presiding over the overall situation in Dongzhou.

40 years have passed, and he has changed from being a general manager at the beginning to becoming the Duke of Donghai of the Ming Dynasty, with a lot of power.

The remaining two admiral's mansions are in charge of the official systems of the northern and southern continents of Dongzhou, including the army, mining, post roads and other affairs, all of which are under the jurisdiction of the admiral's mansion.

Although they are in charge of these, they do not participate in the internal management of more than 70 feudal states on the Dongzhou continent, and they cannot control Zhu Zhanji's sons. They are mainly responsible for coordination.

Today's admiral of the Northern Continent is Zhang Degong Yang Zhangde. From the commander of Jinyiwei to the current Zhang Degong, he is in charge of most of the land in later generations including the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

But because each feudal country has its own army, although his jurisdiction is large and his management powers are wide, he is actually subject to great constraints.

The residence of the Admiral's Mansion is Dongji Mansion, which is also the location of the later American Norfolk Naval Base.

Although Dongzhou has a lot of minerals, the vast land there is the most attractive for long-term development.

Although Norfolk is not as prosperous as the later cities of New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, it has a better geographical location.It is very suitable as a trade center that radiates the entire North Continent of Dongzhou.
