544 Just a few ports

Banquet, Byzantine banquet, Ming Dynasty dishes and wine.

Xu Chengzong put down ten people alone, and finally fell on the ground with Caesar after drinking a large bowl. Bai Minghe didn't drink much, after all, he was His Majesty the Prince here, and in the eyes of Byzantines, Bai Minghe was not very close to him and was difficult to get close to.

It seems that the only thing Baiming Crane likes is the scenery.

But what's the scenery good?

The Byzantines did not understand, so most people avoided the white-known cranes. Fortunately, the white-known cranes were not very proactive in contacting them.

After the banquet, Bai Minghe was walking back, and was almost knocked out by someone slapped behind him. This time, he was really shocked. It was Xu Chengzong.

"Duke, aren't you drunk?" Bai Minghe's scalp became numb when he thought of the jars of liquor just now.

Xu Chengzong shook his head very seriously: "The big thing is not decided, so I can't let go and drink!"

Let go, how can I be considered as letting go? The whole ground is full of wine jars. Even if the current Ming Dynasty’s strong wine is not as good as that of later generations, it is also wine. At least steamed wine at about 30 degrees, this is not considered relaxation! Bai Minghe really cannot evaluate it, and he dare not think about Xu Chengzong’s alcohol tolerance.

"Let's go, talk about the serious business!" Xu Chengzong put the Bai Minghe on the shoulder and pushed the Bai Minghe out.

Xu Chengzong's temporary residence was already arranged here. Xu Chengzong's personal soldiers waved his hand to signal his personal soldiers to go out. Xu Chengzong poured himself a few mouthfuls of cold water and reached out to open a map made of sheepskin: "Xiaobai, I'm alone in the Mediterranean. If you don't tell the truth, you will be unrighteous."

"To be honest, is it three or five years, or three or five hundred years?" Bai Minghe asked slowly with a teacup.

"I have sincerity. Let's talk about it for three or five years first, and then three or five hundred years!" Xu Chengzong poured a large bottle of cold water directly from his head, and he became much more awake.

The white-known crane walked to the edge of the map: "Duke, let's talk about it for three to five years. According to what you said, there is basically no problem with the Nanyang, but what is the south of the Nanyang? This land is not small, not smaller than our Ming Dynasty. But there are not many truly excellent ports in this land."

Xu Chengzong nodded and gave Bai Minghe a pen.

"Let me talk about this place first. No matter what the island is called, it doesn't matter. It is definitely larger than our province. It has a natural medicinal and plant treasure house. Don't rush to move, and don't let people move. Then here..." Baiminghe used a pen to point it on the ground and selected nine top-notch good locations in Australia.

"Don't ask me what's here, let them go and explore it themselves. It's boring to listen to me, and I only know a part of it."

Xu Chengzong looked at the map and then looked at Bai Minghe: "That's over."

"It's not over, let's talk about three or five hundred years, and the next five hundred years. Whoever controls the sea will be the master, and in another five hundred years, whoever controls the sky will be the master. Of course, the sea cannot be lost. If you lose control of the sea, you can't fly on the sea, so it takes two points to control the sea. One. Boat, two, and the port."

Xu Chengzong waved his hand impatiently: "Don't talk about these great principles, draw!"

"Okay, let's talk about the first throat first. It is the Suez Canal I want. It must be heavily troops here. And it must be controlled in our hands. No, no, no. My white-named crane doesn't like someone to die, but even if someone dies here, it must be controlled in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, so five thousand households moved over."

"Don't worry, let all those who are dissatisfied will be moved away, and all those around you will be killed."

Xu Chengzong slapped his chest and made a slap.

"The most troublesome day the canal was here. Don't underestimate the pirates, the Ottoman Empire."

In the Red Sea, Xu Chengzong nodded slightly: "Don't worry, this place will be pacified within five years, and there will be no trouble. If there is any trouble, let them die. This is equivalent to the trade route from the Ming Dynasty to the Mediterranean."

The pen tip of the white-name crane moves outward: "No need to say Ceuta, no explanation."

"No explanation." Xu Chengzong said that this strategy is extremely important, without explanation, and it is definitely a place to throat.

"And here." The white-known crane drew a line in the Americas, and Xu Chengzong couldn't understand it." What's here?"

"There must be a canal here, you think that the boat can't run around a big circle, so if you want to reduce the distance, you must have a canal here, and it is the most suitable place to open the canal here. But there are no people here, and there are no countries here, and there may be a few indigenous people, but there are absolutely few."

Xu Chengzong stared at the map of America for half a stick of incense and nodded vigorously: "If you want to occupy it, you must occupy it. With this canal, we have the final say. However, have you ever thought about why the Ming Dynasty would not occupy it in such many places without people?"

"Duke!" Bai Minghe was very serious. "Do you think you can kill everyone in the world? Daming has a population of 100 million. In addition to Daming, there are at least 300 million people. Do you kill them all?"

Xu Chengzong laughed a few times, and he couldn't answer this, and he didn't dare to answer it.

"We can only suppress and support part of Europe. Everyone here is a wolf, a natural robber. The Byzantines, they just don't have a chance at the moment. So far, this place is still a slave country, and they believe that having slaves will have everything."

Xu Chengzong nodded. He didn't know about the history of Europe, but judging from the style of the small country of Portugal in Africa, it seemed like this.

Bai Minghe said again: "I have heard a story. In Britain, the lord sets rules. If anyone's daughter gets married in his territory, he will sleep for one night before giving up his marriage."

"Damn it's a bad rule." Xu Chengzong cursed, saying that the nobles of the Ming Dynasty were cruel. Some of the nobles of the Ming Dynasty also robbed other people's daughters, but they also had to add a concubine's reputation. They were not so cruel.

Bai Minghe didn't react much: "If you stay here for a long time, you will know that there are many outrageous things. The old pope is seventy years old and still has to drink human milk. There are so many such things that I can't count. So, my idea is to let them open up the land, and then we will harvest it. This place without people is the wasteland."

"Occupy important ports and control them with a stronger navy." Xu Chengzong understood Bai Minghe's words.

Bai Minghe added: "Add one more thing, let them fight hard under our rules, Daming only needs to control the strategic location."

"One day, will the Ming Dynasty fall?" Xu Chengzong is not a sour scholar. He knows that there is no eternal dynasty.

"The Ming Dynasty will fall, but we Han people will not. Why? Because after the Ming Dynasty, the Han people will have ambitions to rise in other places, and the only thing that needs to be guaranteed is the leading technology. If the local area is lost, then the Ming Dynasty in Australia and South China will dare to split the land and be crowned kings. Of course, South America, North America and Africa may develop slowly, but they will also take action. The Ming Dynasty can change its dynasty, but it is definitely the Han people's country."

Xu Chengzong nodded heavily. He was an absolutely loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, but he was not a sour Confucian scholar. He would not dream of governing the world with the virtue of Confucianism and prospering the world forever.

Qin, Han, Tang, that dynasty was not a hegemonic, but what was the result?

Those who are prosperous will also experience declining.

"Our country believes that the world's general trend will be divided for a long time, and that will be unified for a long time. But one thing is that we Han people can fight internally, but will not let outsiders occupy their homes. Therefore, our Ming Dynasty is still not allowed to occupy foreign countries. Once the Ming Dynasty falls, the world will be responsibly loyal, but we as ministers will also be loyal to us for the long live."

"I will present the method of Zheng Zhong myself. In fact, the method is very simple. Change the Japanese method and the Ming Dynasty will last forever."

Japanese way.

Xu Chengzong left the map and sat on a chair. After thinking about it, it seemed reasonable. The Japanese had been in a civil strife for a long time, but the general took away the actual power, but he still wanted to put the royal family on top. Unless he had strong external forces and obviously disliked the royal family, such as the Baiminghe, the royal family would definitely last forever.

"Are you talking about the cabinet's method?" Xu Chengzong asked.

"Yeah, but we need to improve it further, but we don't need to change it immediately. Take it slowly, I, Bai Minghe, are still young and have time." Bai Minghe knew that when things have developed to this point, there is no need to worry about anything. The Ming Dynasty has begun to expand externally and has reached a period of great development.

Xu Chengzong walked to the map again and wrote down the few dots marked by the white crane above.

“That’s all?”

"Not enough, plus here." The white-known crane quickly lit up on the sea. In later generations, Hawaii, Guam, Haiwei, Madagascar, etc., more than 30 important islands and harbors were drawn one by one, and then used a red pen to draw three circles.

"Here, Wuhu District, must be inhabited by the Ming people. If you control this place, you will control half of North America. And here, Jinshan District, if you control this place, you will control half of North America. In addition, the canal I want, all North America is in our hands. In addition, the four major ports in South America are in our hands."

"And North and South America should be divided into two hundred small countries. Let us support the ambitious dukes of Europe and go out."

"clever!"

The white-known crane drew a line on the map: "In addition to the territory we occupy, North America let Byzantium authorize the principality, and South America will come."

"Where is Africa?" Xu Chengzong asked again.

"There were too many people in the Ming Dynasty that needed to be enfeoffed, so that the princes, earls, and the veteran generals who had made meritorious efforts during this foreign expansion also had a place to enfeoff. Australia was divided into grasslands, Goryeo, and even Annan. But only the Japanese people could not be given to them. The Japanese people must be able to flatten their city by artillery fire."

When Bai Minghe mentioned the Japanese, even Xu Chengzong could feel the murderous intent in Bai Minghe's tone. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
