Seventy-five potential enemies

Yang Wei mainly wanted to understand the geographical environment of America. Since he took charge of the Strategy Department of the Military Preparation University, he has had a certain understanding of the history and current situation of various countries, which made his life relaxed and happy, as if he had achieved his childhood expectations, enjoyed a leisurely civilian job, and also had a high pension to wave to him.

On the other hand, Yang Wei also took on a heavy burden. After several deductions, he believed that the Ming Dynasty would always have conflicts with Europe, which was not something that many scholars and officials believed: the Ming Dynasty would join forces with the Jealous Church and Europe toward the world of Datong.

"Europeans have never had faith. A civilization that wants to check whether his wife had secretly drunk fruit wine through kissing is destined not to trust the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, they are just around the corner, as long as they can get benefits." Yang Wei came to this conclusion based on the interesting news brought back by King Zhu Youjian of the Tang Dynasty, and cannot be regarded as a faith history, but Judas betrayed Jesus because of thirty silver coins, which is enough to prove it.

Zhu Cixuan does not support the reasoning process, but supports Yang Wei's conclusion.

In the seventeenth century in the original script, the entire earth was cheating except for the Ming Dynasty.

First, Li Chuangxian survived several times like a thief, and killed him with low blood. Then, the Manchus stole the entire Chixian Shenzhou. Although the Europeans far away in Thailand did not get a piece of cake, they also made golden thighs on the technology tree. Geniuses came to the world one after another, and leapfrog results were revealed.

After Zhu Cixuan was born, the Ming Dynasty finally filled the gap in cheating, but Europe is still developing rapidly. Judging from its current budding, it is bound to enter the era of science and technology. In this way, the Ming Dynasty and Europe will eventually form a confrontation in the allocation of natural resources, unless Europeans are willing to accept the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

In addition to resources, Europeans' ideological fanaticism was also destined to be unable to coexist with the Ming Dynasty.

They are hostile to all ideas that are not their mainstream. This can be seen from their war with the Arabs, burning heresy to death, and forbidding the ancestors of the Ming and Japanese believers. This ideological cleanliness has only appeared in China, and the attitude of the Chinese civilization towards it can also be seen from the ending of the Legalists.

After establishing that Taixi was a potential enemy, the Ming Dynasty was of course prepared.

First of all, the restrictions on the career of the priests and officials will be reviewed according to the list. For sensitive Ministry of War, Ministry of Rites, and Ministry of Personnel, background checks must be conducted on relevant officials. Even if they have close contacts with the priests and officials, they will be excluded.

The second is strategic deployment, which is the main purpose of Yang Wei’s arrival here: to extract the final emotional experience of the American stronghold plan.

"If the Spaniards occupied America, our dynasty would not be safe from the Jingwang Strait to Japan, Ryukyu, and even Australia." Yang Wei said.

This was the first time Zhu Hezhi accepted such indoctrination. When he was on a mission to Europe before, the Ming Dynasty and Europe were still "good friends". Both the European nobles and the Ming Dynasty's powerful people had a good impression of each other. At this moment, he was quite unable to adapt to such a subversive understanding.

"Same. If we occupy America, it will be two-sided to the Thais and Europe." Yang Wei drew a circle in the air: "Aligned with the Ottomans, threatening the eastern part of Europa from land, using America as a base, and threatening the western part of the ocean. The Thais were destined to be able to curl up on their own land."

"The Ottomans are all evil people. Is it reliable to form an alliance with them?" Zhu Hezhi did not agree.

"It's hard to say." Yang Wei said lightly: "But they pose less threats to us. And because they have a deep blood hatred with the Europeans, they don't have this hatred with us. What's more, we have the business goods that the Ottomans need. Your Highness Jing, you have been to America in person. Can the local Spaniards trust it?"

Zhu Hezhi was silent.

Zhu Cixuan saw something else from this silence, and in an instant he thought of the inhumane genocide policy implemented by the Spanish in the Americas.

As early as the 16th century, the Spanish government and the Catholic Church joined forces to carry out planned genocides on Native Americans, including the infamous "ceiling blanket". In Zhu Cilang's unreliable memory, millions of indigenous people died in massacres, and many ancient civilizations on the American continent, such as the Aztecs and Incas, were completely annihilated.

"The Taixi people are extremely harsh on the local natives. If they find that they worship their ancestors totems, they will be punished by the extreme punishment." Zhu Hezhi showed unbearable expression: "The minister did not stop him from respecting the local governance."

"In fact, your highness can't stop it." Yang Wei sighed and said, "The data obtained from the Tang King shows that there are at least 300,000 Spanish people in the Americas. The decline of its country's land also originated from the fact that most of the people traveled across the ocean and went to their so-called New Spain to live."

Zhu Hezhi was a little shocked. He didn't feel that he had seen too many Spaniards. But considering that the Spaniards had already established four Governors districts in the Americas at this time, occupying almost half of South America and the west coast of North America, the population everywhere would not be too large.

"Your Majesty, if you want to start a war in the ocean..." Zhu Hezhi's lips trembled a little: "I'm afraid I can't stand the strength."

He has been to America himself and knows that it takes at least 50,000 to 60,000 elite soldiers to fight hundreds of thousands of Thais. Such a huge number of warriors would not be able to fly across the Pacific Ocean and appear on the coast of America.

"It is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to make such a decision at the moment." Zhu Cilang shook his head and said.

Sweeping across the vast land from Kashgar to the Greater Khingan Mountains is something Galdan did in history, so Zhu Cilang is confident that he can do the opposite. However, from the Ming Dynasty to the Americas, it has far exceeded the current productivity support.

"Lieutenant Colonel Yang has a plan. I think it is feasible and I want to hear your opinion." Zhu Cixuan said.

Zhu Hezhi looked at Yang Wei and felt that the hard hair on his upper lip was a little eye-catching.

——It’s so young that it’s unbelievable.

Zhu Hezhi said in his heart.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness." Yang Wei bowed slightly and immediately said: "The plan made by Wei Me will be implemented from three aspects: force, trade, and settlement. Force means setting up military forts in the Americas to ensure the smooth flow of ports and waterways; trade is to allow the Spaniards to accept the intervention of the Ming Dynasty and reduce their hostility; settlement is to resettle resettlement and combat support.

"After these three aspects are implemented, we will contain local indigenous people who are hosting the Westerners and provide them with weapons and training to stand on the front line against the Europeans. Our dynasty naturally does not need to send a large number of elite troops to fight in the Americas. They are eager to restore the land and will definitely not passively avoid war.

"When the natives and the Thais consumed a certain level, our dynasty's strength in the Americas should be enough to defend the land of the emperor. The specific plan is more detailed, including the required materials and list, and the Wei minister will present it later." Yang Wei concluded.

Zhu Hezhi nodded, his eyes showed firmness and said, "Your Majesty, if you have to mobilize a large army to the Americas, you can reach the King of Jing..." His face turned red. This name was given by the emperor to commend Zhu Hezhi's exploration of the unknown world.

"There is only one from the Strait to the Western Turkish corner of the Americas..."

Zhu Cilang smiled and shook his head, making Zhu Hezhi unable to continue talking.

From West Siberia to Alaska, it is indeed a good idea to just look at the map. In fact, even five hundred years later, West Siberia has not even a decent city, so you can imagine how difficult it is to go to America by land now.

"The national strategy cannot be seen in one or two days. This is a reward for the present and a great success. It is worth spending our generation on a lifetime." Zhu Cilang sighed and said, "The so-called Yugong in Liezi is our generation!"

Zhu Hezhi bowed deeply and said, "Your Majesty's vision for thousands of miles is a blessing in the world."

Yang Wei suppressed his surprise and couldn't help but complain: It's really hard to survive in the officialdom, and you have to say such stingy words casually! Fortunately, I'm going to the sages and I just need to do a job that deserves the salary... Hey, why do I involuntarily praise the priest in my heart?

Zhu Cixuan took the second son's hand, walked to the railing, raised his left hand and said, "Did you see this sea?"

"See, Father." The six-year-old second son of the emperor nodded heavily: "It's all my family!"

Zhu Cilang almost choked by saliva.

He originally wanted to say: a man's mind should be as vast as the sea...that's all.

"Whether it is a Thai or a Japanese, whoever dares to steal my family's belongings will lead the army to attack him!" Zhu Heqi said seriously, trying to wave his little hand, but accidentally kicked it hard to hit the guardrail, and had to force his lips to keep tears in his eyes.

"I'll talk about it after you read the book." Zhu Cilang gently touched his son's head and said softly.

Zhu Heqi took his father's hand and secretly wiped tears on his sleeve.

Yang Wei thought of his late father and couldn't help but envy him.

Zhu Cilang suddenly turned his head and said, "Hezhi, this time the Tang King brought back the news, and Swedish King Christina abdicated. Just two years ago, at the beginning of the sixth month of the Jedi calendar."

Zhu Hezhi was obviously a little surprised and said, "She... is still safe?" Zhu Hezhi, who had experienced the pain of destruction of the country, knew very well what the consequences of losing his country would be.

"She gave up the throne to her cousin Carl." Zhu Ciyang said: "I traveled around the countries of Taisi and settled in Rome. It is said that except for debt, there is nothing wrong with it."

Zhu Hezhi finally felt relieved and said, "The religion she believed in is different from the religion that the country's powerful people believed in, and it is indeed difficult to persist."

Zhu Cixuan raised his chin to Yang Wei.

Yang Wei understood and cleared his throat and said, "Your Highness, religious belief is only one. Furthermore, during the ten years of the K-Bing Kingdom, the Swedish country enthroned 17 earls, 46 barons, and 428 lords, and thus had to pay a million treasury as salary." From the perspective of people, we can see the gains and losses, and Taisie and the Ming Dynasty can also learn from each other to a certain extent.

Zhu He Zhi heard the string song and knew the elegant meaning, and said, "Lieutenant Colonel's words are very insightful."

Now King Jing is about to serve as the direct executor of the Ming Dynasty in the Americas, holding military and political power, so Zhu Cilang naturally warned him to "forget the past and look at the future."

Of course, Zhu Hezhi would not keep this resentment until now because he was not allowed to preside over the throne. (To be continued...)
