Zhu Cixuan just started to conduct electrical enlightenment and got the news that King Jing brought back the rubber tree. () If it were something else, Zhu Cixuan might not be interested, but rubber will be an extremely important strategic material in the next hundred years. Whether it is a car burning gasoline or using electricity in the Ming Dynasty in the future, rubber tires are irreplaceable.

Moreover, Zhu Cixuan was hired in a state-owned rubber tire factory for a long time in his previous life. He kept eyeing the price trends of natural rubber in Thailand, Malaysia, Hainan, Yunnan and other places all day long. As for the workshop process of his subordinate factories, he was clear and has not forgotten it yet.

Therefore, in the practical promotion of rubber, Daming saved a lot of time and could directly start rubber vulcanization and study excellent formulas.

Although rubber that has not been vulcanized is very tough, it is not wear-resistant. It can be made of rubber balls and erasers, but it is impossible to make tires. It was not until 1839 that American Charlie Goodyear discovered that heating sulfur and rubber together can enhance the elasticity and strength of rubber, and rubber has achieved industrial practical value.

The Goodyear family also found a golden rice bowl, and is still famous for its rubber tires today.

From the discovery of rubber by the Spaniards to the discovery of rubber by Americans, the span of more than two hundred years has been gently exposed by Zhu Cilang.

"Rubber trees and tree species are transported directly to Sanfoqi to plant." Zhu Cixuan knew that Malaysia was the first stop for rubber migration, and from the experience of later generations, Malaysia's rubber production exceeded the origin, which shows that this place should be a matter of rubber tree growth.

Lu Suyao didn't know the reason and was quite confused about this order. It was just out of professional ethics that she had no doubts about it and quickly recorded the emperor's will.

"I ordered the South China Sea Fleet and the Southwest Group to take over the first, second and second armies, sea and land, to take over the Sanfoqi, and find suitable land in the Sanfoqi and build a rubber plantation." Zhu Cixuan said: "If the people of his country resist, they will be punished with the "Ming Dynasty Criminal Law"."

The Criminal Law of the Ming Dynasty stipulates that in the legal actions of the Ming army with complete documents, those who dare to disobey will be punished as colluding with the enemy. The most severe punishment is the destruction of the clan, and the lesser one is exiled to thousands of miles.

——Another ancient country was destroyed.

When Lu Suyao was concerned about the Jiaozhi War, he worked hard to read many books from the Nanyang vassals. He knew that the Three Buddhas had also experienced the ancient country of the Tang and Song dynasties. He had always been practicing tribute. Now, just because of a few trees and the words of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, this ancient country could hardly have its own sacrifices. I think about it... I was a little excited!

"The place is dominated by the Jiaozhi Governor and soil erosion." Zhu Cilang said: "But rubber trees must be planted alive! Since the eighth year of Longjing, the stock of rubber trees and the amount of rubber cut are included in the Jiaozhi Governor and the examination scope."

Lu Suyao couldn't help but sympathize with the Jiaozhi Governors who were far away in the southwest. They were already tied tightly to it before they saw the rubber tree. However, the Ministry of Personnel would probably be even more depressed. Because in this kind of continuous mining plant, they had to send people to check every year, which was the Three Buddhas!

Zhu Cilang smiled and said, "King Jing has made great contributions this time."

It was September of the sixth year of Longjing. King Zhu Hezhi of Jing had returned to Asia and was resting in Yongming City, waiting for the sea breeze. He especially wanted to summarize the charts drawn by this navigation and apply for the imperial court to reclaim and immigrate in several suitable settlements. The shipyard was built as an important supply base for the eastbound journey.

When the imperial edict from Beijing was passed to Japan, Zhu Hezhi was even more homely. He realized that the tears tree he looked down upon was very important in the eyes of the emperor, and even gave this tree a name: the rubber tree.

On September 21, the north wind finally came. King Jing's ten large ships and thirty small boats sailed to the southwest under the escort of the North Sea Fleet. The big ship carrying rubber trees passed Japan and headed straight south, and under the protection of the Taiwan Strait Fleet to the South Ocean. The other ships of King Jing's fleet turned north and headed to Tianjin Port.

During his three-year journey, Zhu Hezhi had grown from a young man to a decisive and determined old captain. At this moment, he stood in the boat building and looked at the black spots faintly exposed at the sea level. It was a mark of the mainland and the figure of his hometown. He took a deep breath of the sea breeze of his hometown and felt the breath that was different from the North Pacific Ocean.

"Prince, there is a fleet ahead!" News came from the lookout hand.

Zhu Hezhi picked up the Qianli Mile Mile and observed carefully, and then he realized that the land he thought was indeed a row of warships.

"Look over the upper vent." Zhu He Zhi said.

His instructions were quickly implemented, and the fleet turned slowly and sailed towards the fleet of unknown origin in a manner that seized the upper hand.

The fleet on the other side of the sea also discovered the movements of the King of Jing's fleet. The captain felt cold in his heart and quickly sent an order: "Send a contact ship quickly! Let the King of Jing's Palace descend to the sails and wait for the sacred driving. Our fleet turns to seize the upper hand!"

The captain was not incoherent. Emperor Zhu Ciyang of the Ming Dynasty was riding on the warship. On the left was Lieutenant Colonel Yang Wei, a professor at the University of Wubei, and on the right was Zhu Heqi, the second son of the six-year-old emperor.

"Your Majesty, there is a fleet ahead. From the scale, it should be the King of Jing's fleet. I have ordered people to contact and verify." Shi Lang, the general of the East China Sea Fleet, stepped forward to report.

"Sure." Zhu Cilang nodded.

This time, he was not going to go out to sea to play on a whim, but to send a clear signal: the Ming Dynasty will move from land to ocean in the future. Those who conquered the ocean will also become heroes in history.

In the cabin of this East China Sea Fleet flagship, there are also rewards prepared by Zhu Cixuan for King Jing Zhu Hezhi: San Francisco, on the west coast of America - of course, this name will be changed to East Jing Prefecture. From Alaska in the original time and space to the vast area of ​​the Baja California Peninsula South will be under the jurisdiction of the American Commander Command.

Zhu Hezhize will be the first commander of the American Dushi and the general officer of the North American fleet.

Zhu Hezhi, who is now ordering to seize the upper hand, is ignorant of the emperor's decision. He only knows that he cannot fall into a disadvantage at sea, otherwise the corpse will not exist. Compared with the storm and rain in the Pacific, what really impressed him was the sneak attack of Spanish pirates. Since he suffered the loss of three ships for the first time, he has developed the habit of always gaining the upper hand.

"Your Highness!" The guard rushed to Zhu Hezhi: "The opposite is the East China Sea Fleet, they asked us to lower our sails and wait for our orders..."

"Can the East China Sea Fleet order the prince?" Zhu Hezhi was a little unhappy.

"From a legal perspective," the guard recalled his training content, "It is OK. Each fleet represents His Majesty the Emperor on the surface of his control of the ocean."

Zhu Hezhi was a little depressed and was about to sacrifice the golden dragon flag given by the emperor, but the guard said again: "And the command ship said that His Majesty the Emperor is on the flagship of the East China Sea Fleet."

"You stupid guy! You won't go down the sail!" Zhu Hezhi said loudly.

There is no such thing as gentleness on the boat. The sea and the ocean are expanding people's minds and polishing them to be gentle and elegant. This is not the back garden of literati and scholars, but the battleground for fighters.

After the two fleets joined, Zhu Hezhi boarded the flagship of the East China Sea Fleet from a small boat, the Ryukyu.

"My minister Zhu Hezhi, pay homage to Your Majesty." Zhu Hezhi got on the boat and saw Zhu Cixuan wearing blue casual clothes on the deck.

"I feel so comforted by King Jing in his ultimate realm." Zhu Cilang smiled and said, "What is the scenery of America?"

"When you go back to your Majesty, the extreme north is covered with ice and snow all year round. There are forests, lakes and seas, and the scenery is pleasant. However, half a year and half a year of day are different from the world." Zhu Hezhi said: "I led the fleet to continue to move south, but found that the climate on the west coast of America is becoming increasingly strange, with no rain in spring and summer, and the rain in winter is quite abundant, so it is probably not easy to grow."

This is the impact of the Mediterranean climate.

"The American land is 8,000 or even 10,000 miles long, and it is 1,000 miles long. What Jingfan saw is just one side and one corner of the Americas. However, there is fertile soil inland that is very suitable for planting crops, not less than a thousand miles." Zhu Cixuan said.

Zhu Hezhi had no doubt about the emperor's assertion. The so-called saint should have known the world without looking at the window! What's more, along the way, he found that His Majesty the Emperor had marked the special terrain along the way, whether it was well-read or born with knowledge, it was enough to be convincing.

"I intend to let you manage America, what do you think?" Zhu Cixuan asked.

Zhu Hezhi hesitated for a moment and said, "I dare not do my best!"

Zhu Cilang sensitively discovered Zhu Hezhi's hesitation and smiled and said, "The Americas are vast, and you can even establish a country on your own. You are sharing the world with me."

"How dare you!" Zhu Hezhi was so scared that he knelt down on the ground: "Hezhi is Your Majesty's nephew and his subject. He is brave enough to expand territory for Your Majesty. How dare you have such a disobedient heart! Your Majesty will be a clear guide!"

Zhu Ciyang raised his hand, satisfied with Zhu Hezhi's reaction, and smiled and said, "Actually, this world is not my own. From ancient times to the present, China has both great etiquette and beauty, so how can it be the only one? You are far away in a foreign land, as long as you are loyal to China and the Ming Dynasty, and not let the four barbarians turmoil in China and planning for Xia, I will be relieved."

Zhu Hezhi's tears came out: "I am foolish and rude, I only know to be loyal to Your Majesty."

Zhu Cixuan knew that such words could not be forced to the people of this era. They still retained their faith, and the emperor was the carrier of this faith.

Yang Wei stood beside the emperor, looking at King Jing's reaction, and vaguely felt that this person was not a qualified pioneer. In the Americas far away in the east of Tai, it was not easy to have one or two communications with the Ming Dynasty a year. He just needed a person who killed and decisive and unrestrained by traditional morality to go to the main office.

Although filial sons and virtuous grandsons can maintain success, it is not easy to explore.

——But thinking about the benefits, maybe this is the attitude that King Jing made on purpose when he was young and cunning.

Yang Wei comforted himself.

"This is a professor at the Wubei University, Lieutenant Colonel Yang Wei." Zhu Cixuan said: "The storage of the Americas thought that the barrier was his advice, so I asked him to come together."

Yang Wei took a step forward, saluted King Jing, and said, "Can I ask the King for a second?"
