After the host and guest pretended to be polite, they got down to business, which was the destination of the feudal clan. ,
"For the two imperial uncles, the target destination for them to move to the vassal state is the Northland, which is Nurgan Dusi. Five vassal kings, namely King Zhou, King Chong, King Fu, King Lu and King Hui, have chosen this place as their fiefdom. . In addition, there is also the Eastern Land to choose from, which can be reached by boat in four months. It is a vast area, and the territory of the vassal state will be as large as the troops and horses of the two vassal kings occupy. If you don’t want to go where the temperature is lower There are also several islands to choose from in the Northland or the farther Eastland.”
Seeing how lazy these feudal princes are, it is estimated that the territory in North America will not be given away in the short term. Unless the feudal princes can be forcibly ordered to move there, most of these guys will want to live in the surrounding areas of their homeland.
King Qin Zhu Cunji and King Xiang Zhu Yiming looked at each other, and they were trying to figure out which fiefdom was the most cost-effective. In the eyes of both of them, the "Nurgan Dusi" in the north was a barren and barren land.
To go to the "Eastern Land", it takes four months by boat and more than a hundred days at sea. When you get there, you have to start from scratch again, but it is not easy. It would be great if there is a place with a pleasant climate that is far away from the mainland. .
"Your Highness, I wonder where the island your Highness is referring to is? How big is it?"
Winter in Xi'an is very cold, but Zhu Cunji doesn't want to stay in such a bitterly cold place anymore. If possible, he would naturally find a warm land to settle down. Even an island is fine as long as it's not too small. accepted.
“There are currently four places, one is located on Hama Island south of Luzon, and there are two islands to the east, called the Bismarck Islands and the Solomon Islands, and another one is located seven thousand miles away from the mainland of the Ming Dynasty, called the Hawaiian Islands. These four islands all have a pleasant climate, the wind is gentle and the sun is beautiful, farming can be done all year round, crops are ripe three times a year, and there are many edible fruits. The two imperial uncles should give it some thought."
A certain prince would not give up an island that was too big. Even if it was not owned by him now, it would be gradually annexed by the empire in the future.
If they become the lord's fiefdom, they will have to be ordered to give it up at that time. If they don't give up, they will start a war. It is really unnecessary. It is better to drive them as far away as possible now.
If the island is too small, the feudal kings will definitely not agree to move it. However, the two islands of New Zealand are as large as the sky. In the future, the area of the islands will only be small.
Large islands like New Guinea will eventually become direct territories of the empire. Firstly, they have a good geographical location, and secondly, they are extremely rich in natural resources.
The Grasberg Gold Mine, which has reserves of 3,400 tons of gold, 10,000 tons of silver, and 39 million tons of copper, is located on this island, so it is impossible for a certain prince to let it out to benefit the lord.
"In terms of area, the Bismarck Islands are the largest, followed by the Solomon Islands, Hama Island, and the Hawaiian Islands. All four islands can be farmed, and the surrounding fishery resources are extremely rich. There is also fresh water on the islands, so the people of the vassal country will not worry about food and drink. Moreover, The climate is very suitable and will not be the same as in the north where we have been hit by disasters for many years in the Ming Dynasty. The two imperial uncles can move to the vassal state with peace of mind."
A certain prince has provided four places to stay. How to choose is a matter for the two vassal kings in front of them. Anyway, no matter where they are, it is "first come, first served". If the response is slow, you will not be able to get anything.
"I choose this place!"
While King Xiang Zhu Yiming was still thinking carefully, King Qin Zhu Cunji adopted a preemptive tactic. There were only two vassal kings here. As long as he could surpass the reaction speed of the one next to him, he would win surely. ,
Zhu Cunji was referring to the Bismarck Islands, which is the largest in area. Since it can be seen on the map that the islands here are larger than other islands, it is certain as long as the map is correct.
Moreover, Zhu Cunji had an undisclosed ambition, which was to wait until he had established a foothold in the new fiefdom before sending troops to attack the large island to the west of the fiefdom, which was the island of New Guinea marked on the map.
That big island is more than ten times larger than my own fiefdom, and two or three times larger than the entire northwest. If I can occupy this place, I can rest easy in the future.
"Your Highness, I also want to choose this place!"
Hearing that the shameless guy from King Qin actually took the initiative to grab his favorite place, King Xiang Zhu Yiming immediately became unhappy. He would not accept this situation of swallowing his anger.
The factory guards used the pretext of occupying land to compete with Min, so they confiscated all his fields and confiscated his family property. Now that I have finally got a chance to breathe, I can go overseas to become a vassal, but it won't work if the clan takes advantage of me.
Previously, the little prince's intention was to exchange family wealth and land for a new fiefdom. The larger the fiefdom area, the more losses he suffered, but now the King of Qin took the opportunity, which made King Xiang Zhu Yiming very angry.
There is a very large island in the Bismarck Archipelago, New Britain, which is almost equal to the combined area of the seven largest islands in the Solomon Islands.
The king of Xiang, Zhu Yiming, had no problem with his eyesight and his mind was even better. Of course, he could see that the islands were large, so he had to compete with the king of Qin, Zhu Cunji.
We are all vassal kings, why should you be chosen first?
Zhu Yiming just didn't want to suffer this loss, so he directly expressed his thoughts and let the prince judge.
A certain prince wanted to add Timor Island to his empire, but this would be equivalent to opening a hole in the southern part of the empire's territory. It would be very difficult to remedy the situation in the future, so he simply gave up.
But the matter still needs to be dealt with, otherwise the two feudal kings will not give up. The purpose of today is to send these two pigs away, not to let them fight each other.
Thinking of this, Yaoji said: "Prince Xiang, the emperor's uncle, there is no need to worry. As long as the emperor's uncle is willing to choose the Solomon Islands, I can use the Buri Islands and Donia Island as compensation for the emperor's uncle. From now on, these two places will be used as compensation. How about it being the territory of Xiang Kingdom?"
A certain prince also wants to place another vassal king on the island of New Caledonia. This is probably not possible. Without a new vassal, Prince Xiang will have an unbalanced mentality and will definitely not be willing to move the vassal there.
"Okay, okay! Your Highness is wise, I must obey the holy judgment!"
As soon as Zhu Yiming, the king of Xiang, saw that the area of Donya Island was not as large as that of the big island in the Bismarck Archipelago, but it could be used as an addition, and it could more than double the territory of the vassal state, he agreed. This proposal from the prince.
As for the vassal state stretching thousands of miles across, whether it can be managed by then is not a matter of current consideration. No matter what, the most important thing is to determine the land of the feudal state first, and we will talk about other things later.
In such a far place, the imperial court would definitely be out of reach. When he arrived in the new fiefdom, he could do whatever he wanted, and with thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, he would be a vassal king who could truly dominate one side.
"Your Highness, the Island of Minister's Choice is not very big to begin with."
King Qin Zhu Cunji immediately became anxious. Zhu Yiming really wanted to make things difficult for him. Seeing that he had struck first, he wanted to seek compensation from the young prince.
Seeing that the prince actually agreed and really gave Zhu Yiming a huge compensation, which was almost half the size of his fiefdom, Zhu Cunji couldn't hold it any longer.
"Uncle King Qin, there are some small islands to the north of the Bismarck Archipelago. If the uncle can send troops to occupy them, I will naturally not veto it."
What a certain prince was referring to was the "Caroline Islands", which are all huge atolls. In comparison, even Saipan is a big island, not worth mentioning at all, not even worth setting up a naval base. None, just give it to King Qin.
"Your Highness has spoken so eloquently, and you must never go back on your words!"
Zhu Cunji was grasping at straws. He wanted to confirm the matter immediately. It was a matter of great importance, and there were thousands of miles of sea territory at every turn, so it had to be finalized.
The area of Qin was now more than ten times larger, but Zhu Cunji, whose ambitions were rapidly expanding, was extremely happy. If he stayed in his hometown, he wouldn't even be able to leave Xi'an City. He would have to stay in the palace and play with the princesses, just like playing ball.
"You have no joke, you can write it into the transfer agreement!"
A certain prince would not feel bad at all for giving other people's things to the vassal king. What's more, you can occupy more territory if you want, but do you have a ship? It’s not that we have to rely on Old Fart Zheng’s fleet. If Old Fart Zheng is too lazy to go, you just stare at him and find nothing to do.
"If the two imperial uncles have no objections, then the matter is settled. We can sign the agreement now. After the cabinet review, it will be signed and sealed to take effect!"
This is the front hall and the back hall of my house, where imperial edicts are processed in batches. As long as you dare to sign and press your fingerprints, a reasonable and legal edict can be generated in less than a quarter of an hour.
"I respectfully obey His Majesty's orders!"
Both Xiang Wang Zhu Yiming and Qin Wang Zhu Cunji obtained huge fiefdoms by moving vassals, and they were even more afraid that other vassal kings would arrive in Beijing one after another to jointly put pressure on the young prince and make him repent. With the imperial edict, they could sit back and relax .
"After Aiqing Zheng Zhilong arranges for the ship to go north to Tianjin, I will send someone to inform the two imperial uncles that they can take their families and set off. Before that, the two imperial uncles can stay in the capital for a while and make purchases. For some items needed by the vassal, the relevant silver will be allocated within three days, and each vassal king will receive no less than 50,000 taels of silver and 50,000 shi of rice."
The feudal king can live in the capital before boarding the ship, where he can eat and shop. Anyway, after the feudal lordship, many people will not return to their homeland in their lifetime.
Moreover, after arriving on a tropical island, the scenery composed of sunshine, sandy beaches, and blue sea will make people want to miss Shu. The court asked the vassals to come to participate in major festivals, and most of them would not want to come back.
"Thank you for taking care of me, Your Highness!"
King Xiang Zhu Yiming and King Qin Zhu Cunji were both very angry about having their homes confiscated on the road, but as they read more and more newspapers, they also knew how powerful the little prince was.
Just being instructed by His Majesty Emperor Gao, the Great Ancestor of the Immortal Realm, was a big deal. If the young prince used the name of Emperor Taizu to kill the vassal king, they would not be able to capture it easily, so they could only choose to swallow their anger.
Which vassal king has not invaded the people's land?
Which vassal king didn't keep his disciples privately?
Just being a disciple is against the ancestral system and is a capital offense.
If the prince didn't mention this matter, no vassal prince would be stupid enough to bring it up. That would be really boring.
It seems that it is acceptable to exchange most of the property for the ownership of the new fiefdom, and you can also get military power. This is what many feudal kings dream of. Even getting military power in overseas fiefdoms is very popular.
Before the two vassal princes left their residence, they asked Yang Jinchao about the period of other vassal princes. When they heard that King Dai and King Jin had come first, they decided to go together to find out the news in the capital, so as not to become useless themselves. The known frog in the well.
When they arrived at Daiwang's Mansion, they saw that many feudal princes had gathered here, including all the feudal princes who had arrived in Beijing so far. It was really lively.
The acting king Zhu Chuanfu is not afraid of being reported by villains. This is on the order of the prince. He and Jin Wang Zhu Shenxuan will soon rush to Tianjin and board a ship to Kuru Island to join the feudal clan.
As "experienced people" who know some n-information, King Dai and King Jin will also give pointers to the vassal kings who later come to the capital, but they only stop there. The real core content has to be understood by yourself.
Six people are playing mahjong in the hall, and the acting king Zhu Chuanfu is responsible for leading these novices. At the table are Zhou Wang Zhu Gongqiu, Fu Wang Zhu Changxun, Lu Wang Zhu Changxi, Hui Wang Zhu Yicheng, and Zheng Wang Zhu Yizhong.
Jin Wang Zhu Shenxuan was responsible for guiding the five novices around the circle, while Zhao Wang Zhu Changyu served as a substitute. The scene of everyone playing tricks made the Xiang Wang Zhu Yiming and Qin Wang Zhu Cunji who came later looked very curious.
When the acting king Zhu Chuanfu came to the capital, he learned mahjong from his residence in less than three days, and then he became addicted. Apart from shopping, he spent the rest of his days at home playing with the Great Wall with his concubines.
"Interesting! Interesting!"
Zhou Wang Zhu Gongzhen was already very old, but he had the basics of playing horse crane, and his brain was quite flexible, and he could draw inferences from one instance. He soon became familiar with it. Although he had not won any money yet, he already felt that he couldn't stop.
"This thing is truly wonderful!"
Lu Wang Zhu Changzi also felt the same way. After all, this game called "Mahjong" is much more sophisticated than Ma Diao. It especially tests the brain power of the participants. A fool will definitely not be able to play it.
"This mahjong is something that the Crown Prince imitated from the fairy world. In addition, there are also rickshaws that you see on the street, briquettes that the cooks use for cooking, beef ramen that comes from the back mansion, and other things that you can see. I have read the Capital Daily, and there are endless items like this. I also heard that His Highness the Crown Prince is researching something that can instantly print portraits directly on paper, which is comparable to the masterpieces of painting masters, but it is quite impressive."
Since King Zhu Chuanluo arrived in the capital, he has been able to get content that he has never seen, heard, or experienced before, whether in newspapers or in his residence. He was a little overwhelmed at first. As time went by, he slowly became more Get used to it.
Apart from anything else, before taking the feudal vassal, Zhu Chuanxi specially asked his noodle cook to learn some of the delicacies of the imperial cuisine from the imperial chef, especially how to make beef ramen.
On the cold Kuwu Island, nothing could make him feel more comfortable than eating a bowl of steaming beef ramen. The same was true for King Zhu Shenxuan of Jin. There was nothing on the island, but he was determined not to owe him this. Open your mouth.
Food is the most important thing for Min, and the same is true for the feudal kings. Both of them are from Shanqian, and they must eat noodles every day, and beef ramen is the most delicious noodles that the acting king Zhu Chuanfu and Jin Wang Zhu Shenxuan have ever eaten.
If it weren't for the hot weather now, I really want to eat it every day. Even if I can't eat hot soup noodles, I can still eat refreshing noodles and drink iced sour plum soup. It's a "simple" enjoyment! 11
