Great Ming: I, Zhu Di, Declare My Intentions to Seize the Throne From the Start!

Chapter 444: Considered a Heretic by the Ming Dynasty! The War Begins!

cabin.

Zhu Yuanzhang and his son sat opposite each other across a desk.

Yong Ming stood quietly beside Zhu Di.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and waved to Yong Ming. When Yong Ming came to his side, he raised his hand and rubbed the little guy's head.

See Zhu Di's lips move.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, glared and waved his hands, "Do you want to explain to your father that the people are calling you long live? We are not that stingy."

On the contrary he was happy.

This exactly reflects the support of the people of Dongfan for Lao Si.

The people of Dongfan are a big platter composed of a group of immigrants from the Central Plains, Mongolian captives, and local aborigines of Dongfan.

The fourth child can convince such a group of people.

He was relieved too.

It was not for this reason that he asked the fourth child to come down from the cabin and talk to him alone.

"Tell me, Dad, did workers create history? Isn't history created by monarchs? Without the First Emperor, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, and emperors like us, there would be no history..."

Zhu Di couldn't help being amused.

Sure enough, everyone who has the ability wants to take advantage of heaven!

But precisely because of this, it is easy for people to become arrogant and lose themselves.

"What are you laughing at? Tell me!" Zhu Yuanzhang glared angrily.

He was just curious about Lao Si's statement.

Combined with each other, Laosi can manage Dongfan, a big platter of people from all walks of life, to the will of the people.

He just wanted to know if it had something to do with the theory that workers create history mentioned by Lao Si.

"Father, if the people of the world don't hate and hate the Yuan Dynasty for a long time, even if my father has a genius, do you think our Zhu family can replace the Yuan Dynasty?"

One sentence made Zhu Yuanzhang fall into deep thought.

"It is precisely the dissatisfaction of the workers in the world, including scholars who mainly work with mental work, and all workers who are hard-working and willing to work, who are dissatisfied with the Yuan Dynasty, which triggered the war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. This is the foundation on which our Ming Dynasty can be built. Father, Emperor, Korean Gong Li Shanchang, Ershu, Taishan, and Lan Yu are just a group of people who have stood out from the competition through the survival of the fittest among all the uprising forces. "

"In this process, our Ming Dynasty's meritorious class, as well as every soldier who sacrificed his life, shed blood, and sacrificed heroically to build Ming Dynasty, are actually all down-to-earth and hard-working workers in the true sense.

Zhu Di hesitated slightly.

Zhu Yuanzhang came back to his senses, looked at Yong Ming who was lost in thought, and glared at Zhu Di, "Speak! We, father, son, grandfather and grandson, talk behind closed doors. There is nothing we can't say!"

Zhu Di turned the tea cup in front of him, "It's just that after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the elite of the new dynasty headed by my father stole the fruits of countless workers, and there was a serious imbalance in the distribution of benefits."

These words are extremely rebellious.

But here's the truth.

"Of course, it has been like this in all dynasties. Before the Tang Dynasty, when aristocratic families ruled the world, it was even more so. Ordinary people shed blood and buried their loyal bones. In the end, the throne always belongs to the aristocratic family. You can sing and I will take the stage."

Zhu Di glanced at Xiao Yongming who was thinking deeply.

He hoped that the brat would remember what he said.

Only by believing in and recognizing the people’s view of history.

Completely negate the elite view of history.

Only when the brat inherits the legacy he left in the future can he always be in awe of the vast number of real workers.

If you have awe, you will not be lost or arrogant.

"So, in promoting rural communities in our Ming Dynasty, you actually want to redistribute the interests of the world to make up for the theft of the fruits of victory by the elite meritorious group of Ming Dynasty headed by my father?"

Zhu Di couldn't laugh or cry and shook his head, "Father, how could I have thought so far back then? Jinzhong wanted to do meritorious service at the time when he came up with the idea of ​​bidding for tax packages, and he also wanted to live a better life. It was Uncle Eighth and the others who wanted me to set up a rural village community. Be a leader in the village..."

Speaking of this, Zhu Di couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

In fact, he never thought about setting up a rural village community at first.

If you want to save enough capital, you can make money, buy land, and build a big house with the advanced tools you have.

In short, what are the landlords and gentry doing in this era?

He does whatever.

Ordinary and wealthy, live this life quietly and comfortably.

It was Uncle Ba and the others who asked him to be the leader of the village.

After getting along for a long time, we have feelings for each other.

They were also called by Dongxu and the others, Master Tiantian and Mistress.

I just want to teach Uncle Eighth and the others some ‘skills’ that can be passed down to the family.

At that time, Tuqiao Village had little capital, and the old man’s Ming Dynasty had too many rules.

Farmers are farmers.

If you want to make a fortune and live a better life, you can only make a fuss about the land.

This is how the Tuqiao Village Rural Community came into being.

"But these things also directly pushed the child to get to this point involuntarily. After reaching this point, you can't just do many things, you also have to think about these things and the profound inner philosophical thoughts."

In the past, he knew the people’s view of history and the elite’s view of history.

I also know that many people with ulterior motives want to deny the people's view of history.

At that time, he had only heard about these things and did not even understand their connotations.

What's more, historical concepts and historical perspectives are just methods of studying history.

It's history.

You can research whatever you want, what does it matter?

Until he reached his current position and thought deeply about the rural village community and the employee-share system he established.

Only then did I truly understand how serious the dispute between the two historical views is.

"Father, Qin, the remaining heroes of Fen Sixth Generation, sweeping across the world and unifying the world, are they really all the result of the greatness of the First Emperor?"

"It is undeniable that the First Emperor was indeed great, but I believe that the reason why Qin was able to unify the world was mainly based on two conditions. The vague unification of Xia, Shang and three dynasties laid the foundation for the world, while the frequent wars in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods led to The people at that time were extremely disgusted with the endless war, and everyone longed for the end of the endless war..."

"Wei Yang entered Qin in order to end the war and proposed to Qin Xiaogong the lofty ideals and ambitions of unifying the world and establishing a powerful center. At the same time, his Legalist farming and warfare system was a concrete method to realize this lofty ideals and ambitions. Wei Yang It's just that the people in the world are tired of war.

"Actually, we in the Central Plains have already recognized the people's view of history. Otherwise, why would every book put the people's hearts and minds in a very important position? Everyone, including scholars and officials in the DPRK and the Central Government, must say: He who wins the hearts of the people wins. All under heaven, follow the will of the people!”

Doesn’t this acknowledge that workers create history?

And this is precisely the reason why the Central Plains has become the pearl of the world in the past thousands of years.

"It's a pity that, limited by our own interests, we shout about the people's hearts, but at the same time we only regard the people's hearts as a tool for us to benefit ourselves or small groups. When emperors talk about the people's hearts, they only want to govern the people with ignorance. The vast majority of scholars It’s even more nonsense to talk about people’s hearts. The people’s hearts they talk about only refer to the scholars who have the knowledge and power.”

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Zhu Di's hand slowly turning the tea cup.

He knew that Lao Si would give him an impact.

I didn't expect the impact to be so big.

Simply subversive!

If you agree with what Lao Si said, the people's view of history is that workers create history.

It is tantamount to denying the imperial power and heavenly right!

Denied the legitimacy of the Zhu family’s Ming imperial power?

"Then what reasons will you use to found a country in the future? You talk so much about workers creating history to the soldiers and people, can you still use the imperial power of heaven?"

Zhu Di couldn't help but give Zhu Yuanzhang a thumbs up.

I have to say, don’t look at the old man’s mud-legged background.

Just so quickly, I thought of this question.

The old man deserves to stand out from so many heroes and become the emperor.

"Father, there are no gods in heaven, the heart of heaven is the heart of the people! Since ancient times, imperial power has been granted by the people!"

"When a country is so big, the people lose their support and the imperial power collapses."

"The same is true for rural village cooperatives and employee-shareholding systems. If the leader loses the support of the people, it will inevitably collapse."

This was exactly what he wanted.

Only in this way can the activity and mobility of society be ensured.

The more solidified a dynasty is, the more dangerous it becomes.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

Look at Zhu Di.

To Ming Dynasty, Lao Si was an innovator.

Fortunately, Laosi first benefited the people in the short term.

If some people don't understand the long-term interests clearly.

I'm afraid the people will all hate Lao Si.

Take the asset tax for example. People are skeptical about the asset tax because of the deliberate stigmatization by officials and gentry.

That is to say, Laosi's prestige is high and the people have benefited a lot from the rural community, so they don't listen to the wind.

The stigmatized asset tax also allowed many people within the Ming Dynasty to truly clearly see the prestige of Laosi in the hearts of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

This has also led to people who hate and fear Lao Si becoming even more desperate.

Even Biao'er was wary.

Zhu Yuanzhang put away his complicated thoughts and asked: "Do you want to comprehensively promote your people's view of history under the rule?"

Zhu Di stopped turning the cup and nodded, "My child is formulating theories on the people's view of history, the elite's view of history, the people's economy, and the elite's economy, and is planning to write some theoretical things specifically based on this."

Some things and some systems have no theoretical support.

It's like a tall building rising from the ground, with masonry and cement inside, but no steel bars to support it.

It's just a shoddy project.

"These theories must be learned by the military and officials. After enlightenment, students in county schools, government schools, provincial schools, and central imperial colleges must learn them repeatedly. At the same time, the ministers are also prepared to assemble a group of people who truly recognize the people's will at the right time. That is, Tian Xin, a scholar who recognizes the people's view of history, re-edited the history books of our Central Plains dynasties from the perspective of the people's view of history, and educated the scholars under the rule of Yan Fan. "

Although the current history books are popular among the people.

But the essence is an elite view of history.

Otherwise, why waste so many chapters on writing biographies of elites from past dynasties?

On the other hand, in major events where workers have driven history, the contribution of workers and the public in these major events is never mentioned.

Not doing it now.

First of all, there is no money!

Secondly, without talents in this field, it would be nonsense to allow a group of people who respect the elite view of history to rewrite history based on the people's view of history.

The last and most important reason.

The People’s View of History rewrites Chinese history.

It will definitely cause a huge disturbance in Ming Dynasty.

Considered heresy.

He can be sure that once he rewrites history based on the people's view of history, the Ming Dynasty will completely ban Yan Fan's new ideas.

Scholars from the Central Plains who dared to read the history books compiled by Yan Fan would be severely punished.

Not to mention how Yan Fan will be treated when the time comes.

Now is not the right time.

He also needs the population from the Ming Dynasty and the interests in business with the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, he also wanted to promote the complete opening of the sea in the Ming Dynasty, and for more new things to flow into the Central Plains.

‘Lao Si is already mentally prepared to fight Biao’er. ’

Zhu Yuanzhang secretly thought.

He has already guessed when Laosi will launch the new history of the Central Plains dynasties compiled by the People's View of History.

It must be when the contradictions between the two sides are irreconcilable.

At this time, whether there is a new history of the people's historical perspective or not, both sides will fight once.

The reason why he is not nervous about this.

Because he believes in the fourth brother.

He will never covet the throne that belongs to Xiongying.

Let him fight.

How can brothers not fight? Brothers from ordinary families fight, not to mention the royal family.

Parents will always be gone one day.

When parents are around, it is a great filial piety for brothers to remain tolerant.

He is not worried that the fourth brother will covet things that belong to Xiongying.

On the contrary, he is more worried that Biaoer will use the huge manpower and material resources of the Ming Dynasty to not only teach the fourth brother a lesson, but also want to put the fourth brother to death.

Biaoer will not be so cruel, right?

The fourth brother has seen the future and is actively preparing. Let's give the fourth brother some help. With the fourth brother's ability, he should be able to withstand the pressure of the Ming Dynasty headed by Biaoer in the future, right?

The fleet carrying tens of thousands of soldiers and thousands of members of the Ming observation group rolled forward in the South China Sea.

Zhu Yuanzhang never left since he left the port and boarded Zhu Di's flagship.

He often brought Yong Ming with him and talked with Zhu Di for a whole day.

This caused many officials accompanying the emperor to be worried.

Lü Ben, a cabin assigned to Hu Weiyong.

Lü Ben sat in a wheelchair, looking through the small window of the cabin at the father and son standing at the stern of the flagship, with a worried look on his face, and whispered: "Prime Minister Hu, Emperor Zhu will not change his mind and want to pass the throne to Zhu Silang?"

As he spoke, Lü Ben stared at Zhu Di and Zhu Yuanzhang, and his hands could not help but tightly grasp the armrests.

Hu Weiyong was slightly stunned.

He glanced at the nervous Lü Ben, and a flash of contempt flashed across his face.

After serving Emperor Zhu for so many years, he didn't even know who Emperor Zhu was.

"We have to be considerate and understanding of Emperor Zhu. After all, this is probably the last time he sees Zhu Silang before he dies."

Now, Zhu Silang is so important to Emperor Zhu.

Emperor Zhu will soon not see Zhu Silang for several years, and he must want to talk to him more.

"I guess Emperor Zhu must have discussed with Zhu Silang the workers who created history mentioned by Zhu Silang. I even guess that after returning to the Ming Dynasty, it won't be long before Emperor Zhu will fully lift the maritime ban. Regarding the negotiations revealed by Zhu Silang, Emperor Zhu must also hope that the prince will agree to it in full..."

Lü Ben looked at Hu Weiyong suspiciously, "Prime Minister Hu, why do you say that? Is there any basis for that?"

Hu Weiyong stared in the direction of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, "Emperor Zhu, the prince, and Zhu Silang are all very smart people. They all have a premonition that the Ming Dynasty and Zhu Silang will not be able to win. Zhu Silang's Yan Fan will inevitably have conflicts in the future, and even a big fight. "

"Emperor Zhu is worried that the prince will use the huge manpower and material resources of the Ming Dynasty to put Zhu Silang to death in the future. When he is alive, he will definitely think of various ways to strengthen Zhu Silang's strength! Zhu Silang has been based in Luzon for many years, and he needs to trade with the Ming Dynasty. The weapons, pig iron, spices, and other goods of his Yan Fan need to be purchased by the increasingly wealthy Ming Dynasty. He needs to rely on maritime trade to purchase goods from the Ming Dynasty and go to other places to trade and make profits. "

Finally, support him to develop the Yan Fan!

What kind of treaty does Zhu Silang want to sign with the prince.

He now has an outline.

Lü Ben's face suddenly became ferocious, "Prime Minister Hu, are we going to let Emperor Zhu support Zhu Silang and create countless troubles for our future great cause?"

If Zhu Silang is not killed.

Even if their anti-Yan alliance destroys Zhu Xiongying's position as the crown prince.

Will Yun Wen dare to sit on the throne of the Ming Dynasty?

'What if I don't let it go? Let Emperor Zhu die early? ’

Hu Weiyong glanced at Lü Ben and said nothing.

A month later.

The fleet appeared along the coast of the central Luzon region.

The small boats of the Luzon Dynasty Navy Fleet began to frequently appear and cruise around the fleet.

The fleet ignored it.

They marched to Peacock Island in a mighty force.

The army drifted on the sea for more than a month.

The brothers needed to rest for a few days.

Fortunately, Peacock Island was occupied in advance.

Peacock Island.

Mao Xiang, who came one step ahead to collect and summarize the information from the Military Intelligence Department and prepare for the war, led the two battalion commanders of the First Mixed Brigade stationed on Peacock Island, as well as merchants who happened to be replenishing supplies on Peacock Island, gathered at the dock, waiting for the arrival of the army.

When a fleet of 1,500 large and small ships appeared in sight.

Everyone talked excitedly.

"It's so spectacular!"

"Is this the current strength of our Yan Fan?"

"Is this probably the largest invincible fleet in the history of war?"

...

Amid the discussion, warships carrying Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial guards and a battalion of the first army town approached the dock one after another.

The soldiers of both sides were the first to disembark and take charge of vigilance.

"Long live your majesty! Long live your majesty!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang appeared with Zhu Di, Mao Xiang and others bowed and shouted long live.

Zhu Yuanzhang, with the help of Zhu Di and Zhu Chong, led everyone down from the flagship with a slightly pale face and a tired look on his face.

Zhu Biao and the officials of the Ming Dynasty were the same.

Even if he tried his best to control himself, his steps were weak and he was a little shaky when he walked.

I thought that when I went from Fujian to Dongfan, I already knew the danger of the sea.

But this month, I really realized what danger is.

When I reached the center of the South China Sea, I was hit by a violent storm at night.

Although the fleet was at a critical moment, dozens of ships leaned side by side to resist the wind and waves.

But it still made the Ming Dynasty monarchs and ministers who went to sea for the first time feel how insignificant individuals are in front of nature.

Zhu Yuanzhang briefly said a few words to Mao Xiang and others.

Zhu Di ordered: "Mao Xiang, take your majesty, the prince and others to rest."

Zhu Xi and others looked at Zhu Di with envy as he was still in high spirits.

They are not even as good as Xiao Yongming!

Mao Xiang took Zhu Yuanzhang and his party to the fortress that had been packed up to rest.

Zhu Di took Yong Ming with him and directed the soldiers to disembark in an orderly manner.

Busy till evening.

Zhu Di brought food to Zhu Yuanzhang and returned to the study.

Mao Xiang was already waiting outside the study.

No one spoke.

After Zhu Di entered, Mao Xiang quickly lit the lamps in the study and poured tea for Zhu Di himself.

The young master never brings anyone to serve him.

If he doesn't do these things, the young master will have to do them himself.

After finishing the busy work.

Zhu Di pointed to the chair next to him, "Tell me what's important."

When he first met Mao Xiang today, Mao Xiang gave him a subtle wink.

I knew right then that something was definitely going on.

Mao Xiang handed Zhu Di a copy of the military intelligence secret report, took a few steps back, sat down, and said: "Not long ago, a businessman who came back from Srivijaya brought news from our brothers in the Chen Dynasty stronghold. There was a man who claimed to be A businessman from Fujian traveled to the Chen Dynasty and asked to see Emperor Chen Wu, Chen Zuyi. Later, he was appreciated by Chen Zuyi. Chen Zuyi not only gave him a shop in Malacca, but also announced that he would cooperate with this businessman to do business with the Ming Dynasty and Chen Dynasty. North Korea’s maritime trade business…”

After Zhu Di read the secret report, he slowly closed it, nodded with his fingers, pondered for a while, and asked: "Is this person really a Fujian businessman? Have you found out who the other party is?"

"Master, I have obtained the portrait of this businessman and am going to send people to inquire with the Fujian merchant Haoqiang who is following us, but..."

Mao Xiang hesitated and looked at Zhu Di, "Based on my intuition, it is very likely that we will not be able to find out the true identity of this person. The other person's name may be fake."

Zhu Di nodded.

Mao Laoliu said it in a vague way, but he knew the true meaning of his words.

"Master, can we ask His Majesty to use the royal guards to help check..."

Zhu Di stared with a smile.

This means asking him to complain to his father!

He and Mao Xiang had the same judgment.

This businessman is by no means an ordinary person.

I'm afraid it was sent by someone within the Ming Dynasty.

Maybe even the big brother!

He waved his hand and said, "Forget it. I'm old enough, and my father, the emperor, and my empress are the same age. Don't let them grow old and feel miserable. The conflict between me and my eldest brother will not be resolved until my father, the emperor, and the empress." After we leave, we can solve it ourselves.”

He believed that if it was really the person sent by his elder brother.

My eldest brother must have thought so too.

"Let our brothers keep an eye on this person and find ways to get close. At the same time, let's see if our technology will spread to the Chen Dynasty. Through technology, we can basically determine the approximate location of the person behind the scenes. ”

Blast furnaces and fire guns cannot be made just by looking at them.

If you don’t get their design concepts and production equipment design concepts, don’t even think about copying them.

And even if the imperial court masters this technology, it will definitely control it.

Therefore, there are definitely not many people who know the technology.

The scope for obtaining technical drawings is even smaller.

Mao Xiang frowned, "Master, even if we don't complain to His Majesty, wouldn't we really expose our skills if we don't kill this person?"

"It doesn't matter. Although weapons are very important in war, they are still decided by people after all. Moreover, technology cannot be kept secret forever. Chen Chao has only seen our long-barreled fire blunderbuss, and he also used the method of rolling iron sheets to make it. A long-barreled fire gun?”

Today's technology is too simple.

As long as you have a direction and are willing to study hard, you will soon achieve a breakthrough.

He believes that even if the person behind the scenes is his elder brother.

The most the eldest brother can do is give rifles and even artillery technology to Chen Chao to support Chen Zuyi.

I will never give Chen Zuyi the technology of blast furnace ironmaking.

"Furthermore, our current technology is evolving very quickly. The craftsmen have already mastered wrought iron smelting. I believe that in just one or two years, at the speed of their current repeated experiments, it won't be long before we can master it. Using a blast furnace , directly refining iron that can be used to make firecrackers and artillery.”

In addition to these, Huo Gunfang has improved the rifle gun based on the problem that soldiers have a lot of trouble using match ropes.

If people can’t think of a solution in the future.

He gave a little reminder that the impact of flint produced sparks, and it would not take long for the flintlock to appear.

Technically, he is not afraid at all.

The reason why he didn't rely on his own advantages to mess with the technology tree.

It was because he wanted to leave a family fortune that could truly be maintained and lasted for this brat like Yong Ming.

Rather than using his own advantages to randomly click on the technology tree.

He also hopes to create an active and active atmosphere full of endless exploration of science and technology.

Leave the brat with a group of skilled craftsmen who have mastered research skills and have a spirit of exploration.

At the same time, let them subdivide and determine the technology and exploration direction in active and in-depth exploration and research!

For example, in the future of engineering, as exploration deepens, subdivision will inevitably be carried out.

There is a clear goal to cooperate with this group of people who have the spirit of exploration and inheritance of experience.

In addition, there is an active civil society composed of rural village cooperatives and the employee-employed shareholding system.

As long as the foundation is laid.

Even if he is no longer here.

Yong Ming could still maintain Yan Fan's technological lead by relying on this group of people.

"Any other news?"

"Yes!" Mao Xiang said with a smile: "Chen Zuyi also seems to want to establish rural village societies and a system of employee-owned shares. However, the retainers and elders who helped him conquer Malacca are very opposed to it..."

Zhu Di was slightly surprised.

Unexpectedly, he did this in Ming Dynasty and fell into a highbrow situation.

His set of things.

It was actually regarded as a treasure by the Chen family and his son.

It's so unpredictable, funny, and bitter.

Mao Xiang noticed that the bitter smile on Zhu Di's lips disappeared, and his eyes dimmed a little. Of course he knew why the young master was like this.

After Zhu Di heard Mao Xiang's complete introduction, he smiled and said, "Okay!"

Seeing Mao Xiang's confusion, he explained: "The Ming Dynasty is too big, and the Ming Dynasty will not engage in a business monopoly like Chen and his son. The negative effects of the elite economy will not be reflected too quickly in the Ming Dynasty. Just watch, as long as the Chens and his son do this, I can be sure that within seven to eight years at most, there will be huge problems in their highly monopolistic elite economy!"

"Moreover, the Chen and his son's establishment of rural village communities can also be a good way to spread our ideas in the surrounding countries."

The people of Luzon just don't know what Yan Fan is.

Never seen this set of things.

If he knew, he could be sure that ruling Luzon would be smoother!

Mao Xiang smiled and reminded: "Master, don't be too careless. If that Fujian businessman is really the prince's person, it means that the prince wants to join forces with Chen Chao!"

"Don't be afraid!"

Zhu Di stood up, waved his hand, walked to the window, stretched out his hand and pushed open the window, the sea breeze at night in the tropical summer blew in his face, "Things that are easily obtained without going through hardships will never be strong. The ups and downs in the future will It will only make our Yan Fan regime more mature and more stable!"

Difficulties and trials are the good teachers and helpful friends of a person, a group, and even a progressive government.

Mao Xiang stared at Zhu Di's back in trance.

The young master has completely transformed and sublimated!

Woo woo woo...

After three days of rest.

The sound of the horn resounded throughout the Peacock Island Pier.

After loading the soldiers one after another, the sea ships and warships blew the trumpets and left the dock, waiting in formation on the distant sea.

Zhu Di, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao and hundreds of officials in the court all boarded Zhu Di's flagship at the same time.

The deck was crowded with people.

Everyone looked at Zhu Di.

Zhu Di stood at the bow of the ship and raised his hand, "Yu Jing, give the order to set sail!"

"As you command!"

After Yu Jing received the order sonorously, he turned towards the messenger on the mast and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty's order! Set sail!"

Woo woo woo...

When the soldiers waved the flag, the horn sounded again.

The flagship was launched first.

Starting with the flagship.

Three hundred naval warships formed a triangular formation, sailing at the front, followed by 1,200 merchant ships.

The huge array marched towards Manila, the capital of the Luzon Dynasty.

Ta-ta-ta...

After Yu Jing made some preparations, he returned and said, "Your Majesty, the map is ready."

Zhu Di and Zhu Yuanzhang turned around.

Zhu Di smiled and said: "Father, let Yu Jing and Tan Yuan introduce to everyone the upcoming war..."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

Follow Zhu Di to the mast.

Yu Jing and Tan Yuan stepped forward, grabbed the ropes on both sides and pulled hard.

Wow!

A huge map slowly unfolded.

Yu Jing looked at Zhu Di.

After Zhu Di nodded, he picked up the baton and pointed at the bay southwest of Manila, "Your Majesty, this bay, we call it Manila Bay. It is the largest natural bay we have discovered so far, and it is by no means Jilong Island. Comparably, this bay can accommodate tens of thousands of ships..."

Zhu Di smiled.

Manila Bay is originally the largest natural bay in the world.

"It is almost completely closed by land. The narrowest point is only a dozen kilometers. Once coastal defense artillery is deployed in these places, almost no one can penetrate into the bay. Of course, the Luzon Dynasty does not have such artillery that can threaten us! "

"The northern and northeastern parts of Manila Bay are connected to the Central Luzon Plain. It is a very large plain. If it is used to grow food, according to the Department of Agricultural Sciences, it will be very easy to feed 10 million people..."

Zhu Di observed everyone.

When many people heard this, they frowned slightly, with complicated expressions such as jealousy and wariness in their eyes.

Zhu Di shook his head.

"The Luzon Dynasty has a navy with about thirty ships. In this battle, our navy's mission is to completely defeat this small navy and send the army officers into Manila Bay..."

Tan Yuan took the baton and then introduced: "We have five mixed army troops from one town landing in the northern plains from Manila Bay. We will attract the 190,000 troops of the Luzon Dynasty to attack in the northern plains..."

"What if they don't attack and defend the city?" an official suddenly asked.

Tan Yuan and Yu Jing looked at each other and couldn't help but smile, "This gentleman may not know that the capital of the Luzon Dynasty is small and pitiful. If they defend the city, it will be convenient for us to annihilate them..."

Woo woo woo...

At this moment, the warning horn sounded.

The mast commander shouted: "Luzon Navy!"

Seeing that everyone said I was a naval officer, it was mainly to pave the way for the conflict between Crown Prince Zhu Biao and Zhu Di after the battle of Luzon.

Cultural conflict, new ideas, and new trends, all of these must be gradually laid in advance in this conflict between the two sides.

The Chen Dynasty is not a small supporting role, it is to make a horizontal comparison with the future Ming Dynasty.
