Chen Dexing certainly knew how 80% of the American Indians died in history. This bacteria and virus kill people, sometimes it is much better than the white knife and red knife! Although Chen Dexing was relatively kind in this era, he did not have much trouble to stop the outbreak of the plague.

In fact, he didn't have this ability. He was just a seaman in his previous life. He only knew some basic hygiene and epidemic prevention knowledge, that is, how to isolate, disinfect, how to bandage wounds, how to take care of injuries, how to first aid, etc. They were all things learned when he was studying at the Maritime Academy. Now he has written these things into books as textbooks for Tiandao Academy, Lu and Navy Military Academy.

In addition, some military medical and epidemic prevention systems that were already very advanced in this era were gradually implemented in the Ming army. The Ming army's land and navy now have quite professional medical officers and medical teams. They are not ordinary doctors and do not know how to take pulses and prescribe prescriptions, but can only deal with external wounds and prevent and treat infectious diseases.

Some of the best medical officers were also selected to form the Tiandao Academy Medical College, which was responsible for teaching and engaged in various medical research. The focus was on the research of various infectious diseases. After the Mingzhou Indians in Zhoushan were infected with the disease, the Mingdu Tiandao Academy Medical College immediately sent many doctors to go south for research. In the end, it was found that it was just a cold. A mere cold would actually knock down so many young and middle-aged people. This incident surprised the doctors of Tiandao Academy.

After some research, the report on the weak constitution of Indians and very prone to infection was immediately sent to Chen Dexing's desk...

Of course, Chen Dexing knew that the analysis of this report was completely nonsense. The Indians were not bad, but the Mingzhou continent was too "clean". There were not as many terrible viruses and bacteria as the old world, so the Indians had no resistance to many viruses and bacteria from the old world.

Now the old world has discovered the new world. And huge amounts of gold and silver have been found in the new world. In the years and months that can be imagined, a large number of immigrants will flock there, bringing all kinds of terrible viruses and bacteria.

The Indians' catastrophe was inevitable! What Chen Dexing had to consider now was just how to use this catastrophe to further establish the dominance of Tiandaoism in Mingzhou.

However, there is no need to say this plan to Chen Huaiqing. Because Mingzhou has nothing to do with Chen Huaiqing, the future is unlimited. Now there is only endless desolation, only a few territories have civilizations, and they are all very weak and easy to deal with.

This means that conquering Mingzhou is very easy and does not require too strong force. In history, the small country that conquered America and Spain, which was originally unable to line up in Europe, was not a powerful country before discovering the New World, especially Spain. Even the few small broken ships Columbus used to explore the New World were collected through hard work. Spanish Queen Isabella I sold all his crown for this.

Compared with the "two teeth" of Chen Dexing's Ming Empire, it is really much stronger! Therefore, there is no difficulty in conquering Mingzhou.

Therefore, this continent, which can almost be regarded as a "National Chosen Country", was planned to leave it to his sons and heroes, and they did not have strong power. They needed the support of the Ming Dynasty to establish a country overseas. Therefore, it is not appropriate to go to a place with a strong civilization.

Moreover, the land of Mingzhou is too fat. In the future that can be imagined, it will definitely have a considerable population. It may even exceed the Ming Dynasty’s local area! Therefore, it is unrealistic to allow the Ming Dynasty to directly govern the entire Mingzhou. The Ming Dynasty court could not have so many people separated by a Pacific Ocean, so it is the ideal choice to enfeoff the place to his son and his heroes.

Of course, the Ming Empire would still have several important governors' districts on the Mingzhou continent, as the empire's large base in Mingzhou.

The other piece of land south of the Nanfan Islands is vast and rich in resources, but not suitable for farming and animal husbandry (Oceania has barren land and irregular rainfall, which cannot be compared with Mingzhou at all), because it cannot support too much population (without the help of modern agricultural technology, Australia can carry a population of millions), and it has no ability to fight against the Ming Empire. Therefore, it will be the backyard of the Ming Empire as the governor, where the rich coal, iron, uranium and other key resources will serve the sustainable development and strength of the Ming Empire in the distant future.

Old foxes like Chen Huaiqing, who are strategic, powerful and skilled, of course they have to be sent to conquer more developed, wealthy and difficult territories.

Chen Dexing gently turned the teacup in his hand and pulled the topic away from infectious diseases.

"Sir, Jiangnan has been roughly pacified now. Lin'er also sent news from Hongdu that Zhao Yun has agreed to come to Lin'an to retire. In this way, the six provinces including Jiangxi, Jiangdong, Zhejiang, eastern Zhejiang, Fujian, and Huaidong will soon be stable. Guangdong, Guangxi and Hunan will be governed by the Ming Dynasty within a few months."

Chen Dexing roughly followed the "road" of the Song Dynasty in the southern provinces. Along the way, there were provinces, so there were provinces like Jiangdong, western Zhejiang, eastern Zhejiang, and Huaidong Province that were not available in later generations.

According to the plan formulated after discussion by the Ming Cabinet and the Fourth Army Department, the territory originally belonging to the Song State, including the vassal state territories, would be divided into Fujian, Liangjiang, Liangzhe, Lianghuai, Lianghu (Jingxi Road will be merged into Hubei Province and Jinghu North Road), Sichuan (Dongchuan Province with Chongqing as the center, Xichuan Province with Chengdu as the center, Beichuan Province with Hanzhong as the center, and Nanchuan Province with Zunyi as the center).

In addition, the Ming Dynasty would also implement the two Beijing system in the north and south, with Yanjing Prefecture as Beijing, and Yangzhou and Zhenjiang Prefecture merged into Nanjing. The official name is Jiangdu Prefecture Nanjing is now moving! However, based on many factors such as terrain, economy and people's hearts, Jiangdu Prefecture is indeed more suitable to become Nanjing in the Chenming Empire than Jiankang Prefecture.

First of all, Jiangdu Prefecture is located at the intersection of the Grand Canal and the Yangtze River, and is very close to the estuary of the Yangtze River. During the Tang Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty, it was the economic center in the southeast. In the later Ming and Qing dynasties, it emerged again because of the two affairs of salt and grain. If Chen Dexing was willing to invest a certain amount of financial resources and material resources in Jiangdu Prefecture, it would have been possible to turn it into the economic center of the southeast region and even the entire Ming Dynasty.

Secondly, the Jiangdu Prefecture belongs to the junction of Jiangnan and Huai land. The military group that Chen Dexing started was part of the Lianghuai army of the Southern Song Dynasty. Among the current senior officers of the Ming army, the proportion of Huai people is very high. Chen Dexing's own hometown is also in Anfeng, Huaixi. After Chen Dexing took Jiangdu as Nanjing, he could also use the heavenly ticket to purchase the land of Lianghuai land (most of which belong to the Lianghuai Jiangmen, Chen Dexing and Chen Huaiqing and his son also had a lot of land in Lianghuai), and then allocated them to the officers and lords from Huai land, which naturally formed a military aristocratic group that protected the Ming court.

With these two major reasons, Jiangdu Prefecture naturally replaced Jiankang Prefecture and became the Nanjing imperial capital of the south of the Yangtze River by the Chen Ming Empire.

However, the construction of Jiangdu Prefecture is not a day or so. Before the construction of Jiangdu is completed, Chen Dexing will use Lin'an as the accompanying capital to govern the Jiangnan area.

The key to governing Jiangnan well is in Chen Dexing's view that it is nothing more than three points: "relocating Yimen, enthroning military households, and developing industry and commerce."

Only by breaking up the imperial examination rituals that ruled Jiangnan for three hundred years and migrating in large quantities, and at the same time distributing their land to the lords and military households who supported Chen Ming, can Jiangnan be safeguarded. The Jiangnan tenants who were originally fixed on the land by the Yimen can freely starve to death, freeze to death, and displaced! But this is the only way for the small peasant economy to move towards capitalism! Capitalism is of course evil, cruel, and greedy. The arrival of the capitalist era is not a good thing for the tenants...

And our cunning Chen Huaiqing is the key to the "Changyimen" policy.

Chen Dexing said lightly: "The provinces in the south of the Yangtze River have always been governed by the Lord of Song and the literati. If Jiangnan wants long-term stability, it is better for those literati and wealthy families to leave as soon as possible!"

Chen Huaiqing sighed softly. His view was actually contrary to Chen Dexing. Only with these wealthy families could Jiangnan be stable. Letting these wealthy families abandon martial arts and follow literature spend their whole life in the classics of the articles is the secret to governing the world in the world... Unfortunately, such a good method cannot be used in China, and can only be used to stabilize India.

When you arrive in India, you must implement the imperial examinations. At least among people of higher castes, Confucianism should be promoted among people of higher castes. To be an official, you must study Confucius and Mencius and take the imperial examinations! At the same time, of course, Buddhism must be promoted. As long as the superiors of India become Confucian scholars and the inferiors believe in the Buddha, how could Tianzhu be unstable?

"The old minister will start the Tianzhu conquest as soon as possible." Thinking of this, Chen Huaiqing stroked his beard and said.

"Don't be so anxious," Chen Dexing waved his hand, "Tianzhu is a great country and has a long distance. We must take steady steps and not be anxious."

He paused and said, "The expedition of India must take the sea route, from Maluojia to the west. We must set up a foothold near Maluojia, and it must be fertile and fertile soil, so that we can supply food for so many people. The South China Fleet's opinion is to seize Java Island first, and then use Java as a springboard to expedite India west!"

Java Island is probably the most fertile land in the world, and is comparable to Egypt's Nile Delta.

"Take Java first?" Chen Huaiqing knew where Java was. He thought about it, "Who will Java be given to?"

Chen Dexing smiled and asked this question who would like to ask the warlords from all over the north and south. He was about to speak, but Yang Po'er walked in with joy and bowed to Chen Dexing Yingying, "Congratulations to the saint, the news came from Mobei that the Concubine Ming had arrived at Helin with Haidu Khan. Haidu Khan converted to the Tiandao Sect and led his troops to seize Helin, the capital of the Great Mongolian Kingdom!" (To be continued...)
