I'm really not the carpenter emperor

However, this new type of treasure ship is the result of the joint efforts of Chinese and Western elite shipbuilders.

Because he is so rich, Zhu Youxiao has been using a lot of money to poach people from Spain, the Netherlands, Britain and other countries in recent years.

Among them is Sir Bach, the chief designer of the Spanish Invincible Battleship.

It is said that the Spanish Emperor Philip IV bid farewell to his chief shipbuilder in Port Royal with 8000 million taels of silver.

There's no way, Daming's money can't be spent now.

Since the establishment of overseas colonies, the money earned from selling goods is enough to cover all the military expenses of the whole country.

Not to mention that Zhu Youxiao also learned a lesson from Zheng Zhilong, and now all ships arriving in the Far East waters need to fly the Ming flag above them.

If you don't hang the flag of Ming Dynasty, even if you go to the port of Ming Dynasty, you will not be welcomed.

What makes western navigators hate it the most is that this command flag is still replaced every three years, that is to say, every three years, they have to come back and buy it again!

Daming, making money is crazy!

Having said that, after the design of this new type of treasure ship was successfully launched, Zhu Youxiao discovered that it was a complete sea war machine.

The people in the scientific research institute far violated Zhu Youxiao's original intention of sailing to the West for peace.

This new type of treasure ship used the most advanced shipbuilding technology in the world today, combined with the experience of Zheng He's treasure ships during the Yongle period. It was more than fifty feet long and twenty feet wide.

Converted into modern times, it is a huge monster with a length of more than 200 meters and a width of more than 90 meters.

Even Sir Bach, the world-renowned shipbuilder dug from the Spanish Empire, sighed when looking at this treasure ship, we have built a sea fortress!

It is not an exaggeration to call this treasure ship a sea fortress, because it is not only big, but also has an astonishing number of more than 160 shipboard artillery.

What kind of concept is this? The number of such shipboard guns has been ahead of the UK for more than 40 years.You must know that the first-class battleship launched by the United Kingdom more than 40 years later has more than 120 ship-mounted guns.

If you see such a huge ship at sea, the first thing you see is its four layers of oppressive artillery holes.

Zhu Youxiao's brain is full of black lines, I have already named it, and it is called the Mir. How about you, make a war number?

Chapter 979 Introduces Cultural Invasion Confrontation Policy

The eighth voyage to the west was already under active preparation, and so far everything went smoothly, but there was one thing that made the courtiers quarrel for a few days.

This matter is, do you want to actually control Cambodia?

It is one thing to take it down, but it is another thing to actually control it. You must know that if Daming wants to actually control the land in Southeast Asia, a spacious official road connected to the capital is necessary.

The problem now is that the official road has not yet been built, and the land transportation from Daming to Southeast Asia is very unchanged, and it has to go over mountains and mountains.

This is the opinion of the opposition. There are too many troublemakers in the land of the Phnom Penh Dynasty. If you want to control it, you need to implement the same policy as Annan Province.

This requires a lot of manpower and material resources. Every few decades, it is very difficult for these newly conquered lands to feel a sense of belonging to Ming Dynasty.

What's more, Cambodia is different from Annan. Annan conquered it when he was in Yongle and occupied it for decades. This is the first time that Cambodia has been won.

In fact, Zhu Youxiao didn't expect that his Ming army was so strong now that he thought he needed to send some people to Annan.

But who would have imagined that the 20 Ming army stationed in Annan could easily destroy the Phnom Penh Dynasty in Cambodia, which had lasted for more than a hundred years.

Looking at the battle report, Zhu Youxiao frowned.

What the hell is a war?

This looks like a bully, doesn't it?

Until now, Zhu Youxiao has realized how lonely Invincible is. If Qin Shihuang had a globe back then, wouldn't he have to expand the territory by himself.

Looking at Southeast Asia, where most of the flags of the Ming Dynasty were planted, Zhu Youxiao thought, otherwise, why not just take Southeast Asia down?

The idea is bold, but not impossible.

During the reign of Chongzhen in history, which is now the 22nd year of Tianqi, Daming had a population of about [-] million. Of course, this number is estimated.

But now, there are not so many wars and famines in Ming Dynasty, and the population may really be more than [-] million!

With such a large population, the arable land in the country is far from enough. Since it is difficult to assimilate these people, why not just move them away?

Move this group of Southeast Asians away, lest this group of monkeys affect the pure genes of China, and then move the domestic farmers who cannot get land.

His own people, who left their hometowns, naturally wanted to implement some preferential treatment policies.

Since it is said that the current finance does not rely on taxation at all, the three-year tax exemption is the most basic, and the government must provide seeds and so on.

This is not enough, have to think again.

Forget it, I'm too lazy to think about it, let's leave it all to the Ministry of Accounts!

You have to do everything yourself, what do you want these courtiers to do?

By the way, where will the group of Southeast Asians move to live?

It is definitely not possible to go to the country!

The old way, civilian households with three or more members can stay and settle in the Far East. If one person is full and the whole family is not hungry, most of them like to have nothing to do. They sell all of them to Europe and make some money.

The idea is very good, and the news will come soon.

The migration went smoothly. After hearing about the generous treatment from the imperial court, most of the refugees who were not allocated land were very cooperative and moved south with their families.

In this way, Annan and the newly conquered Cambodia were much more stable.

On the contrary, most of the Southeast Asians yelled in bird language that the Ming army could not understand, and they were unwilling to leave even if they said nothing.

Zhu Youxiao's reply to Annan Governor Hong Chengchou's inquiry was that I don't care.

The meaning is very simple, I don't care about their lives.

That's right, I can't manage so many people in Ming Dynasty. I don't care what those people in Southeast Asia do, and it's not like dragging them to the Far East to bury them.

Hong Chengchou's approach was extremely simple and rude, one word, kill.

Xue Lian, Marquis of Yangwu, led the Ming army to screen a disobedient family in the town first, and pulled out hundreds of Southeast Asians who had the most fun dancing and chopped them up in the street.

After cutting, nothing happened.

The only problem now is that Westerners are unwilling to buy the hundreds of thousands of Southeast Asian monkeys that are not qualified to live in the Far East.

Obviously, these Southeast Asians are lazy, and they are all very thin, and the food of Westerners is not enough to support so many people who eat plain rice.

Zhu Youxiao smiled.

These white pigs are not all fools!

Don't buy it, okay, then I will lower the price!

Is it enough to buy three Southeast Asians for the price of one American slave?

If you don’t want to buy it, that’s fine. With the passing of tea leaves, if you buy tea or not, you have to take one of the Southeast Asians with you.

There is no way out, after all, tea is a hard sell.

As for the life and death of the hundreds of thousands of Southeast Asians who were sold, to be honest, Zhu Youxiao didn't care, and he didn't have so many resources to take care of them.

Anyway, if you don't do it yourself, that's fine.

……

On this day, Zhu Youxiao took Wang Chengen to conduct his favorite private visit to Weibo again in Beijing.

One of the reasons why Zhu Youxiao likes Weibo private interviews so much now is that he wants to provide material for later generations of film and television dramas, such as "Apocalypse's Weibo private visits" and so on.

Anyway, give us a whole historical drama-"Apocalypse Emperor"!

As soon as the TV is turned on, our Emperor Apocalypse is all pretending to be aggressive. Isn't this more delicious than Qing palace dramas?

But today, Zhu Youxiao realized something was wrong.

When did my Beijing city have so many foreigners?

I didn't see a few black ones, but the white ones were all over the street, and there were quite a few Mongolians and others.

Turning a street, Zhu Youxiao saw a very spacious church located in the most prosperous area of ​​the capital.

So, he frowned.

If I remember correctly, it seems that I just saw one on the street?

This is too international, Zhu Youxiao felt a little uncomfortable, and returned to the palace early.

Sitting on the throne, Zhu Youxiao was thinking about it.

If the current situation continues, will the streets be full of foreigners in the future?

This is not okay, isn't this invaded by culture?

It was only then that Zhu Youxiao realized a very profound problem. His martial arts and martial arts were perfect, but in terms of culture and beliefs, he didn't make any moves!

Zhu Youxiao has always been a character of doing what he says, so that night, he summoned the cabinet to discuss this issue in detail.

The cabinet meeting decided to add an immigration bureau under the Ministry of Household Affairs to establish official beliefs in the official form of the imperial court-Buddhism and Taoism.

Across the country, various famous temples and ancient temples and Taoist temples in Xiantai have been renovated on a large scale, and local religions have been vigorously supported in the form of the imperial court, while foreign religions have been restricted.

The Ministry of Households will re-count the official Han population and household registration of the Ming Dynasty nationwide, and issue a royal book to each Han.

From now on, this imperial book will be the only certificate to prove Ming's citizenship.

As for people of other races who want to stay in Daming, no matter what they do to preach or do anything, they have to go through the Immigration Bureau to obtain the second type of civil register.

Moreover, Zhu Youxiao also decided to completely sever the missionary agreement with the West next year.

Starting from the 23rd year of Apocalypse, Ming Dynasty will formally impose clear restrictions on the number and area of ​​churches established by various Western denominations such as Christianity, Orthodox Church, and Islam.

It is not that they are not allowed to preach, but that the scale of their preaching is not allowed to exceed that of native Buddhism and Taoism.

Now, the imperial court will always pay attention to the cultural invasion of foreign religions. Once there are some signs, it will immediately introduce new policies to restrict them. This is also one of the new tasks of the supervisory censors in various places.

Once this measure to restrict missionary work in other countries was introduced, the factory guards had another job to do.

For a time, Jingshi Ti rode out and went to various places to demolish churches in cities that occupied particularly prosperous areas and had a large number of churches.

Resistance is useless, because resisting the factory guards can only invite the intervention of local soldiers, magistrates, officials, and officers and soldiers.

Once the officers and soldiers intervene, the nature will change. At that time, they will not stop unless they kill the previous group of people.

It is useless for foreign envoys to protest, because Zhu Youxiao will not ignore them at all.

9 Chapter Eighty

Zhu Youxiao knew that his thoughts were actually a little naive.

Just relying on trusting Wei Zhongxian at the beginning of his succession and eliminating the Donglin Party in the court, the pens of later generations of literati may write about themselves.

Now they are all convinced, but this is only temporary. This is to make themselves afraid of death. When they die, how should they write or how to write.

It may be difficult to do something good to restore word of mouth.

Moreover, what Zhu Youxiao did recently not only offended the domestic literati, but also offended those foreigners.

Wanting to expand the territory and use the slogan of restoring the territory of the Yongle Year is obviously not feasible now, because the territory of the Apocalypse Dynasty already has more Cambodia than the Yongle Dynasty.

Continue to fight Southeast Asia, saying anything is like "aggression".

That's right, what Zhu Youxiao is doing now, no matter how righteous it is said to be, may be written as aggression in the history books of other countries.

The West today is still different from the East.

The treaty is still very binding in the West. The war between the two countries basically goes to the end. It is rare for a large-scale mobilization to destroy a country like Ming Dynasty.

In the East, the treaty is actually a fart.

The content of the treaty can be torn up at any time, and not many people will pay special attention to it, as long as you can win if you say it is broken.

The fist is the only truth in the East.

Just like Zhu Youxiao, who has the biggest fist, so he can hit whoever he hits?

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't eat it, Zhu Youxiao wanted to beat up the whole East.

But in fact, it is the same as the current situation of Annan and Cambodia. It is easy to destroy them. How to secure this place is a very troublesome problem.

Annan needs 20 Ming troops to guard it, and even hundreds of thousands of civilians need to be mobilized to build a new road.

Now with the addition of Cambodia, Hong Chengchou, Governor of Annan, has said more than once that there is not enough manpower, and he has come to the capital to ask for supplies.

How much manpower and material resources would it take to swallow up Southeast Asia and hold on to it?
