Zhu Ying's idea is very simple.
It is to build a Chinese cultural circle.
In fact, strictly speaking, in original history, Zhu Di was considered a colonizer.
That's Annan.
Four hundred thousand troops were used to lay down An and establish Jiaozhi.
Although there is no concept of colonization, in fact it is not much different.
The final result, of course, ended in failure.
Zhu Ying had no intention of throwing out the concept of colonization.
The basis of colonization was actually the early predatory hand of capital. In fact, the seeds of capital appeared in the Song Dynasty, but in the imperial system, there was no soil for development at all.
No matter how much wealth you control or how much land you have, unless you create something, you are just a fat sheep in the eyes of the literati and military generals.
You can kill whenever you want, without even a little room for resistance.
On the surface, the Song Dynasty did have some causes similar to the germination of capital, such as employment relations, primitive industrialization, the accumulation of commercial capital, etc.
However, these superficial characteristics did not change the production methods in the developed areas of the Song Dynasty. Its essence was still a combination of the production methods of the traditional land-based agricultural society and the landlord-bureaucratic economic system.
In fact, every emperor, no matter how stupid or stupid, has the idea of opening up territories and expanding his territory in his heart.
Otherwise, should the vast land of Ming Dynasty be given by others?
Like history, Zhu Yuanzhang, who always wanted to prove himself to Zhu Yuanzhang, spent almost his whole life on horseback.
Because he felt guilty towards his father, he needed merit.
In the first Yongle period, the north was destroyed, and in the fifth period, Mongolia was conquered. Three major camps were set up outside the fortress to intimidate the frontiers.
The Oara Tatars also paid tribute and conquered An, directly withdrawing the vassal establishment and adding it to the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
Win over and control the Jurchen tribe, conquer the West, and set up the Xuanwei Department in Yunnan.
In the east, west and south, wherever there was room for expansion, Zhu Di took action.
However, in this case, Zhu Ying controlled the residence, but did not express the concept of colonization. The root cause is the cultural characteristics of the Ming Dynasty itself.
Even for many people.
Even if I understand the concept of colonization, I still think it is useless.
It would also be a waste of troops to govern the colonies. If the troops were small, they might be resisted by the local indigenous people.
For example, clouds, to a certain extent, are similar to the concept of colonization.
In fact, if it were not for Mu, Annan might now be the area with the most frequent uprisings in the entire Ming Dynasty.
Not to mention overseas colonization.
It's just a waste of time and money for the people, and it's a waste of military force.
At present, none of the barbarians overseas can compare with the wealth of the Ming Dynasty.
My own family has not developed well, so I just eat from the bowl and look at the pot.
As for the development of capital, that is, business, this is not in the thoughts of the ruling class such as civil servants and military officers.
Even Zhu Yuan had never considered it.
What use can a businessman with a low social status have?
But Zhu Yingxian did the opposite.
The order he issued to Li Shuming was the condition for his release. Although it was not clear, the intention was to allow Li Shuming to colonize overseas. ….

As the Ming Dynasty, the voyage to the West was the first wave of colonial operations in history.
This is not to say that Zhu Ying is too ambitious, or that he cannot see the disadvantages of improving merchant land and developing maritime trade.
A large inflow of overseas wealth will actually only cause inflation to a certain extent.
The current population structure of the Ming Dynasty, due to food production and natural and man-made disasters, is equivalent to 80% of the population being farmers.
In other words, these 80% of farmers support the other 20%.
As for the current situation, along with the cultivation of horses, crops, and corn, there are also various aspects of exploitation and suppression of landowners.
It is conceivable that within two years at most, a steady stream of labor will be slowly released from the fields.
Coupled with the stimulation of current policies, such as the shareholding ratio, the population of Ming Dynasty will usher in waves of explosive growth in the future.
Zhu Ying knew very well that agriculture is the root of a country's rapid development, and industry is also extremely important.
now. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 436: Initial expansion
We are constantly undertaking this in various factories.
Large gentry from all over the country are also joining in.
The industry is developing rapidly, and within a few years, a large number of new generation rich people will appear.
After getting rid of traditional merchants' behavior of hoarding goods, speculating, and occupying land, these emerging merchants relying on industry will change the status of the original merchants.
These merchants with basic patriotic qualities are the best foreign colonial personnel in Zhu Ying's heart.
High-yield crops such as bananas, potatoes, and corn began to flourish in the Ming Dynasty, and gradually solved the problem of food and clothing.
Inevitably, it will also spread outside the Ming Dynasty.
In such a situation, overseas human resources are very useful.
It is an inevitable path to open factories until the Ming Dynasty, use cheap labor for production, and even produce a large number of serfs.
.....
Japanese country.
One-third of Kyushu Island is occupied by foreign forces, which makes all levels of the entire Japanese country begin to become nervous.
When I saw that the Ming Dynasty's army was not like the Mongolian or even other invaders, they forcibly attacked Honshu Island, the most important island in the Japanese mainland.
When the Japanese kingdom appeared in the sky, Emperor Komatsu panicked.
Speaking of Gomatsuten, it is actually very unfamiliar to Zhu Ying. Otherwise, Emperor Gomatsu had a child, and Zhu Ying would be very clear about his name.
That is Ikkyu in the famous Japanese anime of later generations.
Monk Yixiu's religious name was Yixiuzong. Yixiu's mother was a member of the noble family of the Southern Dynasty. She was once favored by Hou Xiaosongtian, but was kicked out of the palace due to slander.
She was pregnant at the time and later lived in a private home. Ikkyu was born. Ikkyu became a monk at Anguoji Temple in Kyoto at the age of six.
Today, the twenty-sixth day of Hongwu happens to be the year when Yixiu was born.
Judging by time, it is now three months old.
Hou Xiaosongtian, who has turned thirty years old, does not yet know that he has a concubine who gave birth to a son for himself.
But even if he knew it, he would not say that he cared about it when faced with the fate of the Japanese country. ….

The palaces of the Japanese country, the generals, the generals, all gathered together.
Everyone's face has sadness.
The emperor is not the actual ruler, the shogun is.
The current shogunate is Ashikaga Yoshimitsu who ended the Northern and Southern Dynasties of Japan.
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu can be said to be at his most glorious moment now. As the general who conquered the barbarians, he has completed the unification of the north and the south, and his prestige has reached its peak in the entire Japanese country.
In fact, since Ashikaga Yoshimitsu took office, he has always been looking forward to conducting tribute trade with the Ming Dynasty.
Documents continued to be sent to Beijing, and they continued to express their respect and admiration for the Ming Dynasty in the documents.
Since the beginning of the seventh year of Hongwu, he has sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty several times.
From the seventh year of Hongwu to the thirteenth year of Hongwu, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu requested trade with the Ming Dynasty in the name of "Japanese Conquest General Gen Yoshimitsu".
However, the Ming Dynasty rejected the request of the Muromachi Shogunate on the grounds that the Ming Dynasty believed that King Huairiang of the Japanese Kingdom of the "Dajue Family" was the orthodox king of the Japanese Kingdom, while the "Chimei Family" were treacherous ministers.
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is a general of the "Meiyo system" and should not be associated with him.
Therefore, after Zhu Yuanzhang received the letter of credence from Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, he rejected the tribute trade from his fellow shogunate.
Naturally, rejection does not mean that there is only one fate. The key lies in the disrespectful behavior of the Japanese country towards the Ming Dynasty in the early Ming Dynasty.
According to Zhu Yuanzhang's words: "It's not bad if we don't hit you, but you still want to trade with our Ming Dynasty. Just dream."
To a certain extent, Zhu Yuanzhang implemented a high degree of economic sanctions against the Japanese. _o_m
The Japanese country itself did not have abundant resources and relied heavily on foreign trade. Naturally, Goryeo would not pay attention to the Ming Dynasty's suppression.
Smuggling and Japan have become the main ways for Japan to import resources in foreign trade.
But now, Ashikaga Yoshi, who was kneeling on the left side of Emperor Gokomatsu's head, looked gloomy.
"General, now the Ming Dynasty's army is almost completely occupying the entire Kyushu Island. How can our army just watch helplessly. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 436: Initial expansion
Are you there? "
"Although Grand Ming Guan is indeed very powerful, our warriors are not vegetarians either."
"I believe that the war should not be introduced to Honshu Island, but that everything should be bound to Kyushu Island."
In the palace, a daimyo put forward his opinion. First update@
In his opinion, Meng had never broken into Honshu Island before.
Naturally, Ming's army cannot be allowed to invade.
It was obvious that this famous person had the support of most of the famous people present.
According to the current situation, no matter whether it is high or large, the best way is to accumulate troops and use the border from Kyushu Island to Honshu Island as a base point.
Relying on the natural danger of the island to defend it.
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu did not reply directly, but instead asked the following daimyo to discuss with each other.
It wasn't until he felt that the time was almost right that he coughed twice.
The arguing daimyo stopped when they heard the general cough.
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu said in a deep voice: "Many of you here are from Kyushu Island."…

"Everyone must be very clear about the situation on Kyushu Island."
"In the pincer attack between Goryeo and the Ming Dynasty, our soldiers on Kyushu Island are already very difficult to resist."
"That's why I ordered all the elite warriors to retreat to Honshu Island."
"I know very well that no one wants Honshu Island to be affected by the war, but you have to think clearly about one thing. Our sea has been completely destroyed by the Ming Dynasty's sea."
"They are from Kyushu Island to Honshu Island. We have no ability to fight against them."
"There are many big ones. They should have been in contact with the Ming Dynasty's army and know how powerful they are."
"It is very difficult for us to win the final victory. This time the Ming army is not like before. They move step by step, regardless of time, and just want to slowly eat away at us."
"This battle may last for a long time."
"So we need to give them more land so that their forces can start to spread out and their armies can be limited."
"Only through this can we have any hope of victory."
"If we fight to the death with the Ming Dynasty army now, then we will be the only ones who die."
Ashikaga Yoshi has been serving as a general to conquer barbarians since he was ten years old. He has spent the past twenty-five years in constant wars.
It was not until the end that a unified victory was achieved.
Therefore, he has a very clear understanding of the war situation, and he also has very high military talents.
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's ambitions were great.
The two Japanese spies captured by Zhu Di were actually secretly dispatched to the Ming Dynasty by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.
Even in order to hide the secret and not damage the relationship between himself and the Ming Dynasty, the exposure of Xizuo was deliberately passed through the hands of the nobles of the Southern Dynasty.
They thought they were loyal to Nan Chaotian, but in fact the real person behind the scenes was Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.
Giving up Kyushu Island was a difficult choice for Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.
In Japan, which suffered the end of the Northern and Southern War, the overall situation was not very good.
Especially in terms of military strength, internal fighting has left the entire Japanese army in a very weak state.
Moreover, successive years of war have made the people of Japan very tired.
At this critical point, the joint efforts of Goryeo and Ming Dynasty made Ashikaga Yoshimitsu very passive at the moment.
Upon hearing the general's announcement, the daimyo present immediately fell silent.
Especially those who came from Kyushu Island, he was the one who originally danced the most happily. After all, a large number of their territories have been annexed.
The remaining land will be swallowed up soon.
But they did not mention it and asked the general to send an army to attack Korea.
Because everyone knows very well that Kyushu Island no longer has this ability.
"Can we just sit back and wait for the Ming Dynasty to slowly attack us in Kyoto?"
A senior official from Honshu Island said reluctantly.
Obviously he was very dissatisfied with Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's remarks.
The power of Japan. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 436: Initial expansion
Structure is similar to the concept of princes.
The daimyo is equivalent to the feudal princes and kings.
Although Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was the shogunate, he also needed to win the support of the daimyo.
This daimyo obviously has a good foundation, so he is not very afraid of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu didn't feel angry when he heard this, but said calmly: "After one more time, it will be the time for the divine wind to come."
"I have asked the chief minister of the shrine, and he told me that this divine wind will hit the Goryeo and Ming armies greatly."
"But this time, the gods will not be like those who dealt with Meng Yuan. Ming, who suffered heavy losses, will still have very strong combat power. First update @ "
"So no matter what happens, we have to wait for the kamikaze to pass before we can decide how to fight."
After hearing "God, One," everyone present, including Hou Xiaosongtian who was the puppet above, became solemn. .
