"Zhu Qi, what is going on with Portugal, the empire on which the sun never sets?"
"Huang Jin, go get me the information on Hao Jing'ao"
Outside Knowing the territory map of the world empire, and in the deep palace, Emperor Jiajing read these thirteen maps last night.
Being able to take advantage of such a small area to conquer such a large territory, especially with the reputation that the sun never sets, Jiajing, who had originally planned to promote the second line, had to pay attention to it.
"Back to the emperor, I also saw this so-called Portuguese in Hangzhou. It is called Portugal, also called Spain. It seems to be two royal families and one court. Two kings in one dynasty. In fact, it is based on the Spanish side. The royal family is the main one. Now the territory it occupies is mainly occupied by merchant ships."
"The establishment of the East India Company and so on, the East India seems to be our Ming Dynasty, but it took the wrong path back then. , go west to a new continent, where you can enslave people, grow food, and mine gold and silver."
"Once the land occupied by merchant ships is stably occupied, the person in charge of the company will be given the power of governor. All military and civilian affairs will be important. Wait five years, and the Portuguese court will send generals to take over military affairs, while the head of the East India Company will take charge of civil affairs. Wait another five years, and the court will send censors to take over justice and supervision."
"You actually understand so clearly?" Jiajing was a little confused when he saw Zhu Qiren talking eloquently.
"Back to the emperor, a few of them were heard from the Hongyi gunners I had contact with. The details were actually made by Wei Chen who made a special trip to ask Mr. Gao when he set off." Zhu Qi quickly reflected the process of knowing.
"Oh, then they are not afraid of these companies and merchant ships taking over the mountain and becoming the king." Jiajing really found it difficult to understand the monarch's approach of letting his subordinates conquer the world. < /p>
“They are good at guns, artillery and sailing ships, which require a continuous supply from the court. As long as the court has the owner of firearms, gunpowder, shipbuilding craftsmen, and the origin of raw materials. And treats the craftsmen well, they can innovate every year. Then the overseas governor-general vassal territories will not have to rely on the Portuguese court and pay tribute to the court on time every year, otherwise they will not be able to maintain their rule in the overseas territories."
"How powerful can their firearms be?" Jiajing some Not impressed. Firearms are found in the Inner Court Military Bureau and the Royal Horse Guards, so they are not a strange thing.
"I heard from Mr. Gao that their firearms were passed down from the Song Dynasty when the Mongols plundered the Song Dynasty and then conquered the West. At first, they could only take a hundred steps, and could not break armor or build cannons. Now, Our court began to introduce Hongyi cannons after several artillery battles with the Portuguese in Haojingao during the Zhengde period. The range and accuracy are far better than the original cannons made by the court."
Zhu Qi said while taking a peek. Jiajing's face turned as he realized something was wrong, "However, this year we follow Hangzhou's new learning and treat the Fusi craftsmen in Nanzhen kindly.Finally, the Hongyi cannon was copied, and it was even better. When the emperor is free, he can come to Beizhen Fusi Campus for inspection. The copied Hongyi cannon has a range of more than three miles longer than the imported Hongyi cannon. "
Speaking of this, Jiajing looked proud as expected.
"But these are all Hongyi cannons introduced during the Zhengde period. How they develop now is unknown. . However, the land occupied by Portugal overseas has indeed exceeded the area under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty. However, the population is still insufficient, but more than a hundred countries have been destroyed. It took eleven generations of emperors to build the current empire on which the sun never sets. It's really worth being vigilant about. ”
Zhu Qi made another big turning point at the end, and then looked like the imperial court needed the new army of Jin Yiwei, and the new army also looked forward to going through fire and water for the imperial court.
