Zhong Jinwei's tone changed and he became heroic and asked the king of Tang Dynasty: "In the past and present, are there any heroes, emperors, generals, or ministers who achieved their achievements out of thin air? And who is there who has not gone through ninety-nine and eighty-one years?"
Only through suffering can one achieve positive results?"
Hearing what Duke Xingguo said, King Tang suddenly felt a little ashamed. He was not a mediocre person in the first place, so he knew that it was taboo for the vassal king to lead troops to serve the king, but he still took action.
The King of Tang looked at Duke Xingguo and listened to his impassioned speech: "There is no denying that the first vassal king to go to North America is likely to encounter very great difficulties. But compared with this risk, it is a
Huge gains..."
When the King of Tang heard this, he couldn't help but leaned towards Zhong Jinwei and asked with all his concentration: "Huge benefits?"
"Yes, of course it is a huge benefit!" Zhong Jinwei nodded matter-of-factly.
The king of Tang was overjoyed and said quickly: "Please also ask the Duke to teach the orphans."
Zhong Jinwei just wanted to wait for him to say this, so after King Tang said it, he didn't hesitate and immediately analyzed it for him: "The fiefdoms of each vassal king in North America are based on the land that each vassal king can obtain. Once determined,
, other vassal kings are not allowed to fight with him, this is the rule of the court. Therefore, when the first vassal king passes by, the fertile land in North America will not be allowed to be chosen by him? "
After hearing this, King Tang hesitated and said: "I know this truth. But I don't know where North America is so big. Which place is the best place? It's impossible to travel all over North America first and then make a decision first."
When he said this, he couldn't help but look at Zhong Jinwei. He knew that if there was anyone in the court who was familiar with North America, it was the Duke in front of him.
Zhong Jinwei saw the way he looked at him and knew exactly what he wanted to express. So Zhong Jinwei didn't hesitate and said directly to King Tang: "Actually, you don't need to travel all over North America. If you pay a little attention, you can know that there is at least one place.
It’s absolutely very good.”
"What? Which place?" King Tang asked quickly when he heard this, but immediately added: "Wait a minute." Then, he turned his head and shouted outside: "Here comes someone!"
A chamberlain immediately responded and listened respectfully to the King of Tang's instructions.
"Go and get the map of the orphaned baby." King Tang carefully ordered.
The servant waiting on the side was obviously the confidant of King Tang, so without further elaboration, he knew what map King Tang was referring to. After a while, he took the map and unfolded it aside.
The King of Tang stood up first, walked to the edge of the map, and then said to Zhong Jinwei: "My lord, please give me some advice."
Zhong Jinwei did not hesitate and stood up with a smile. After approaching the map, he pointed with his hand and said: "Your Highness, this is the end point of the North American route. For the feudal kings to establish North America, the most appropriate thing is to start here after arriving in North America.
Supply, and then go south and north along the coastline, or enter the hinterland. Therefore, the commercial value here is extremely high."
"Wonderful, wonderful!" Upon hearing this, King Tang slapped his forehead and praised it repeatedly.
He himself also responded to the poem: He didn't know the true face of Mount Lu, but he was only in this mountain. It was precisely because the king of Tang focused on the whole of North America, he wanted to look here and there, and he was fascinated by it.
After the King of Tang finished praising him, he looked at Zhong Jinwei and asked sincerely: "I wonder if the Duke can give me some advice?"
Zhong Jinwei nodded, pointed to the Mississippi River Basin with his hand and said: "Xiaoguan remembers that this area comes from the plains, and the land is fertile. It is similar to the Yangtze River Basin in the Ming Dynasty. As for the specifics, Xiaguan has never been there, so I dare not speak nonsense.
"
The King of Tang looked at the Mississippi River and then looked at the Yangtze River in the Ming Dynasty for comparison. He thought to himself: This river basin must be good. As long as the river water is properly managed, it can become the second Jiangnan!
Based on his answer just now, Zhong Jinwei was not very sure. He felt a little sorry for King Tang, so he added: "Actually, there is another way to find good places in North America, which is to find the location of Xiyi. The place they occupy now must be good!"
The King of Tang Dynasty was listening with joy when Zhong Jinwei was talking. He didn't expect that what he finally heard was such an idea, and he couldn't help but smile slightly.
However, he immediately remembered what Duke Xing Guo had said before, that it is so easy to cultivate Zhengguo! Therefore, the King of Tang couldn't help but puff up his chest and asked Zhong Jinwei: "Gong Guo, I have been training in the capital camp for a long time. Especially one person
Gu was discovered among the refugees. He is talented in marching, fighting and employing people. Gu believes that he can definitely learn similar skills. So, judging from the Duke's estimation, can he defeat the Western barbarians in North America?"
When Zhong Jinwei heard this, he thought for a moment. Based on the current experience of the Beijing camp in the use of firearms and thermal weapon combat tactics, and the fact that the current firearms of the Ming Dynasty were no worse than those of the Western Barbarians in North America, it would be impossible to defeat them.
It's not difficult.
The reason why Zhong Jinwei thinks this way is that he has several other considerations. First, he has the advantage of being prepared and not prepared;
Secondly, the generals and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty vassal kings have received targeted training. However, in the Western Barbarians in North America, there are not many regular troops. Most of them are bankrupt farmers, European ruffians and other bandits. The quality of these soldiers is also
It was the Ming Dynasty that had the upper hand.
Third, regarding the number of people, once the large-scale feudalism of the Ming Dynasty is launched, it will definitely surpass the number of Western Yi people in America in a short period of time.
Therefore, Zhong Jinwei replied to the king of Tang Dynasty: "According to the official's estimation, defeating the Western barbarians in North America is not a problem. The key is the issue of water, soil and climate. Therefore, the official suggested that your highness should pay special attention to these two issues. It is best to establish a base in North America first."
, Oh, just expand after the foothold is perfected. After all, the period for Ming Dynasty to support North America is too long, so it is not very convenient."
"Okay!" King Tang agreed, and then told Zhong Jinwei about his preparations, "Gu Ye sent people to learn carefully about the hygiene and epidemic prevention in the imperial court. In addition, Gu Ye also asked how to contact the North American Indians.
Pamphlets have been distributed to all major generals."
After hearing this, Zhong Jinwei smiled and said to King Tang: "Since Your Highness is so well prepared, why don't you take the first bite first?"
Under Zhong Jinwei's analysis, the King of Tang Dynasty had already made up his mind. He knew that instead of being imprisoned in the country until death, it was better to go out and fight. And since he wanted to fight, why not fight a big one!
All the people in history who were able to achieve great things would be more decisive than ordinary people as long as they analyzed the serious gains and losses clearly. Therefore, the king of Tang Dynasty defended Zhong Jin: "Okay, in this case, I will give a memorial to the emperor and volunteer to be the first to go to North America."
Fan."
After Zhong Jinwei heard this, he secretly praised in his heart that he was indeed the Emperor Longwu in history.
When he completed his mission and returned to the capital, the King of Tang sent someone to go with him to the capital. He told the man: "When you arrive in the capital, give Li Zicheng an explanation. He doesn't have much time. Try to learn as much as possible."
