"As for whether His Highness the King of Qi has now withdrawn from the competition for the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty and can immediately prepare to go to other continents overseas to establish kingdoms, this will still be determined by His Highness the King of Qi after discussing with His Majesty."
"But going to sea to build a country is not something that can be started easily."
"First of all, your Highnesses should still not have fully recruited the 200,000 naval officers and soldiers that His Majesty promised to your Highnesses.
"Secondly, in the first year after your highnesses went to sea to establish a country, in addition to plundering kingdoms on other continents or the supplies that tribes already had through war."
"Your Highnesses, as well as the millions of soldiers and civilians themselves, are temporarily unable to immediately produce the necessities of life such as food, clothing, housing, and transportation that can meet the needs of millions of people.
"So in the first year of your highness's overseas feudal state, and even in the second and third years, the basic necessities of life such as food, clothing, housing and transportation for the millions of people under your rule have to be provided by the Ming Dynasty."
"If you want to achieve preliminary self-sufficiency, your highness's feudal kingdom will need to work patiently for at least three to five years before it is possible to no longer rely on the Ming Dynasty's daily necessities and material resources."
"And one His Highness is responsible for the food, clothing, housing and transportation of one million people. All Your Highnesses put together must prepare enough necessities such as food, clothing, housing and transportation for at least five million people for one to three years."
"In addition, on the way to establishing territories and establishing kingdoms, your Highnesses will inevitably capture some people from other continents or indigenous people."
"At that time, whether it is to absorb people from other continents as the people under the rule, or to directly use them as unpaid corvee, at least the most basic food and drink, your highnesses, will still be given to them."
"In this way, the common people and indigenous people of other continents can undertake more labor for your highnesses and complete more infrastructure construction."
"And this means that in addition to the daily necessities such as food, clothing, housing and transportation that your highnesses originally needed for the five million soldiers and civilians.'
“It is very likely that an additional three to five million people from other continents and indigenous people will need to provide food, clothing, housing, transportation and other daily necessities.
"In other words, Ming Dynasty must at least prepare in advance enough to meet the needs of eight million to ten million people for a year, such as food, clothing, housing, transportation and other daily necessities."
"If this continues for three consecutive years, it means that Ming Dynasty needs to prepare enough daily necessities such as food, clothing, housing and transportation to meet the needs of 25 million to 30 million people for a year."
“Whether it is the daily necessities such as food, clothing, housing, and transportation that meet the needs of eight million to ten million people in one year, or the clothing, food, housing, transportation, and other daily necessities that meet the needs of twenty-five million to tens of millions of people in ten years. Supplies. '"
"This is not something that can be easily raised and prepared immediately."
“Even though Ming Dynasty has promoted the cultivation of high-yielding food crops such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn, it wants to raise and prepare the daily necessities to meet the basic necessities of life for so many people.
"It will take at least three to five years to be able to raise funds and prepare for it."
"Thirdly, although Europe, Africa, South America, North America, and Oceania mentioned before have been occasionally visited by the Ming Dynasty Navy in the past few years, basically luck still prevails.
"The current routes to these continents are still very immature and the risks are relatively high."
"If we want to open up more mature and stable sea routes to other continents, the Ming Navy will need to conduct more explorations.
"So to sum up, if His Highness the King of Qi wants to go overseas to establish a kingdom, he will do it."
"Then the fastest option is to wait until the end of Ming Dynasty's second five-year plan, until all the material requirements just mentioned have been prepared, and the sea routes have become more mature.
Then officially set sail to other continents to establish kingdoms. "
"Before that, if His Royal Highness King Qi determines the continent that he will entrust to the country in the future through discussions with His Majesty."
"Then you might as well start preparing for your future voyages to other continents to establish kingdoms within these five years.
"For example, if you go to Europe, you can think about how you will deal with those vassal states, large and small, from far away and close to close?!!"
"For another example, when faced with the foreign barbarians captured by His Highness, His Highness directly slaughtered them all with iron-blooded force?!!"
"Or should we use both soft and hard tactics? All foreign barbarians who are unwilling to learn Ming Dynasty writing, speak Ming Dynasty Mandarin, and are unwilling to abandon their own race, country, culture and language will be put to death?!"
"For foreign barbarians who are willing to learn Ming Dynasty writing, speak Ming Dynasty Mandarin, and are willing to abandon their own race, culture, and language, give them a full meal?!"
"In the end, through this method, the foreign barbarians were slowly assimilated, making them become common people of the Ming Dynasty."
"For another example, after those one million soldiers and civilians arrive on an overseas continent, how can they quickly establish a base that can accommodate one million people?!!"
"And how should the base area be laid out and planned, and how should the work of one million soldiers and civilians be distributed and arranged?!!"
"His Highness and the relevant ministers and counselors can think about various issues such as this in advance and then formulate relevant plans."
"In the end, when other overseas continents have established states, they will be able to quickly choose different solutions based on the different problems that arise."
"In this way, when your highnesses establish overseas states, they will be able to avoid wasting too much time on meaningless and unimportant things, so as to gain a foothold in other continents better and faster!" "
"It can even achieve twice the result with half the effort in unifying the entire continent more quickly in the future!"
After hearing this, Qi King Zhu Shu, who had been eager to go to sea and establish a kingdom, calmed down again.
He still understands the principle of sharpening the knife before chopping wood.
If we rush to the sea to build a country now, we may be unlucky and die in the sea.
Even if you are lucky enough to reach the destination continent in the end, if you haven't prepared anything before, let alone stand firm, it will be fine if you don't fall ten big somersaults.
And it's not that I can't afford to wait for only five years. After all, I am just in my early twenties this year, and I will only be twenty-six years old in five years.
If we calculate based on the thirteen years it took our old man to pacify the world, then even if he had to spend the same thirteen years to pacify the continent, he would only be thirty-nine years old at that time.
Although he is not young anymore, he is still in his prime.
If you are lucky, you might be able to continue to serve as emperor for another ten or twenty years like your own Lao'zi.
Thinking of this, King Zhu Bo of Qi suddenly stopped being anxious, and instead began to think about how to make a perfect plan to establish overseas feudal states and pacify the continent in the next five years.
The three people who also heard Yan Changqing's words: Qin King Zhu Xi, Jin King Zhu Fan, and Yan King Zhu Di couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Just now, they almost thought that Qi King Zhu Bo had withdrawn from the competition for the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty and was about to go overseas to establish a kingdom.
Now that they know that they will have to wait until the end of the Ming Dynasty's second five-year plan at the earliest before they can go out to sea and establish a country, they feel less pressure.
At least they still have five years in the future to think carefully about whether they should continue to fight for the Ming Taizong in China, or choose to be the Taizu of other continents overseas.
After a while, after digesting and understanding what Yan Changqing just said, Zeng Wang Zhu Gang also raised his head and looked at Yan Changqing and asked:
"In the past three years, were all the materials provided by the Ming Dynasty to aid our princes and princes overseas in establishing our country for free?!!"
Hearing the words "We are waiting for the vassal prince" in the words of Jin King Zhu Fan, Yan Changqing also knew that Jin King Zhu Fan had begun to prefer overseas feudal states to establish a country, and then he shook his head and said with a smile:
"As the saying goes, brothers will settle accounts!"
"If all such huge supplies are given to your highnesses for free to establish overseas kingdoms, it will definitely not be tolerated by the civil and military officials in the court."
"After all, so many supplies, if converted into money and food, would probably be worth hundreds of millions of dollars."
"If this money and food worth hundreds of millions of dollars were left in the Ming Dynasty, many major projects that would benefit the country and the people could be launched and completed."
"For a group of civil and military officials, instead of giving money and food worth hundreds of millions of guan to your highnesses for free and going overseas to establish kingdoms, it is better to keep these materials, money and food to continue construction in the Ming Dynasty."
"Even if His Majesty and the future second-generation emperor of the Ming Dynasty, looking at the relationship between father and son and brotherhood, they can give these materials for free to your Highnesses to establish kingdoms overseas."
"But it does not mean that after Ming Dynasty has supported your royal highnesses' daily necessities (bhai) needs for the first three years of establishing the country, it will no longer need Ming Dynasty to continue to provide material support in the future."
"It just means that after the first three years of material support for daily necessities, your highnesses' overseas feudal countries can barely achieve self-sufficiency."
"But if we can continue to receive a large amount of daily necessities material support from the Ming Dynasty at this time, then the development speed of your highnesses' overseas kingdoms will definitely be greatly accelerated."
"However, do you still need to ask Ming Dynasty and your highnesses' brothers, the second generation emperor of Ming Dynasty, to continue to give away a large amount of daily necessities for the subsequent overseas feudal kingdoms for free?!!"
"You must know that the second-generation emperor of the Ming Dynasty also had 60 million people under his rule who needed to be managed and taken care of.
"He is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, not the emperor of your highnesses' overseas vassals!"
"He must first ensure that the people of Ming Dynasty are prosperous, and then he can help your highnesses' overseas feudal countries according to the situation.
"But if the people in the Ming Dynasty are short of food and clothing because of free assistance to your highnesses' overseas feudal countries, then for the second generation emperor of the Ming Dynasty, it will put the cart before the horse and lose the support of the people."
"And even in the future, the second generation emperor of the Ming Dynasty can look at the brotherhood between each other and continue to give free gifts to your highnesses' overseas kingdoms once, twice, or even three or four times a large number of daily necessities. "
"But every free gift actually consumes the brotherhood between your highnesses and the second generation emperor of Ming Dynasty."
"If we continue to give them away for free, it won't be long before the brotherhood between the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty and your highnesses will be exhausted."
"Even the second generation emperor of the Ming Dynasty may regard your highnesses as poor relatives who frequently fight against the autumn wind. Is this a scene that your highnesses want to see?!!"
After hearing Yan Changqing's last words, the princes including Qin King Zhu Xi, Jin King Zhu Fan, Yan King Zhu Di, etc. all shook their heads violently.
After all, they are also the vassal princes of the Ming Dynasty, and they are more likely to be the ancestors of other continents in the future. You can imagine how proud they are in their hearts.
If one day they become poor relatives who frequently fight against each other in the eyes of other brothers, then they will have no self-esteem and face to speak of.
Rather than face such a scene, they feel they would rather beg,
He is also unwilling to go to his brothers and ask for free supplies.
Anyway, beggars and so on can be regarded as the old profession of their old Zhu family.
After all, their father had also been a beggar, so it would not be a shame for them to inherit their father's business.
"So, instead of relying on consuming brotherly feelings to obtain free materials, it is better to rely on mutual transactions and interests to obtain materials."
"After your highnesses went to other continents to establish feudal states, then the gold, silver, copper, and even iron mines discovered in other continents, for your highnesses,
Generally speaking, it has little effect temporarily. "
"After all, even gold, silver, copper and iron mines cannot produce a large amount of daily necessities for food, clothing, housing and transportation out of thin air."
"But your highnesses can use these gold, silver, copper and iron ores that you can only look at but not eat for the time being to trade with the second generation emperor of the Ming Dynasty to buy a large amount of daily necessities such as food, clothing, housing and transportation.
supplies. "
"In the end, your highnesses received a large amount of urgently needed clothing, food, housing and transportation and other daily necessities, and the second generation emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the domestic civil and military officials, noble marquises, merchants and common people
They also obtained the gold, silver, copper and iron ore they wanted.
“In this way, both sides get what they need and benefit each other.
“The civil and military officials in the Ming Dynasty would not have any objection to supporting a large amount of materials for your highnesses to establish overseas feudal states. On the contrary, they would actively support such a transaction.’11
"In the end, the brotherhood between your highnesses and the second-generation emperor of Ming Dynasty will not be damaged, and will even increase by three points with such a transaction that can benefit both parties!"
Having said this, Yan Changqing paused, picked up the chalk and wrote "Population Flood" in Asia, and then pointed to several other continents with arrows:
"And another thing worth mentioning is the issue of land population carrying capacity mentioned before!"
"The population of the Ming Dynasty is expected to gradually reach a peak in the next twenty to fifty years. After that, the land will not be able to support such a large population.
, thus gradually producing various small disturbances. "
"The entire country will also slowly begin to turn from prosperity to decline from a micro perspective to a macro perspective!"
"However, the fact that the land of the Ming Dynasty cannot support such a large population does not mean that your highnesses' overseas feudal states cannot absorb the excess population."
"Based on the initial number of one million soldiers and civilians of your highnesses' overseas kingdoms, even fifty years later, the population of the Ming Dynasty's people in your overseas kingdoms will be approximately
That is, around 5 million to 10 million people.
"And the mere five to ten million people of the Ming Dynasty are seriously insufficient, whether it is to wipe out the vassal states and local tribes on other continents, or to unify the entire continent.
"At least 50 million Ming people are needed to completely wipe out the vassal states and local tribes on other continents. And if you want to unify the entire continent, it will take even more effort.
Only a population of 100 million can achieve this.
"Otherwise, without a population of hundreds of millions of people, it would be impossible to actually govern and manage a continent."
"At this time, the Ming Dynasty, which had a seriously overpopulated civilian population, could just immigrate to overseas continents that urgently needed the civilian population to come to Xu border areas."
"Preliminary estimates suggest that your highnesses' overseas feudal states will be able to help Ming Dynasty share at least 100 million to 300 million people in the future.
"By then, your highnesses' overseas feudal kingdoms, which will be supplemented by the population of the people of Ming Dynasty, will be able to wipe out the vassal states and local tribes on the continent, or unify the entire continent.
The speed will be greatly accelerated.
"As for the Ming Dynasty, which has a population of 100 million to 300 million people, the originally sharp contradiction between man and land will be greatly alleviated. By then, the Ming Dynasty will be able to continue for at least five years.
Ten years of prosperity!”
"Taken together, it can be said that your Royal Highnesses have accomplished several things in one fell swoop when it came to establishing overseas kingdoms!"
