"The British and French coalition landing forces rushed to the beach of Staten Island, but the war situation quickly fell into anxiety - as of the time the message was sent, the British and French coalition forces had not yet fully occupied Staten Island. 》
"At the border of the two Changshi Mansion of the Dongyi Kingdom, a large number of Thai and Westerners attempted to cross the border into the Dongyi Kingdom of the Ming Dynasty, but they were all intercepted and repatriated by the Dongyi Kingdom's patrol troops who had been well prepared. 》
"The Governor's Office of the Zuojun of the Ming Dynasty officially took over the Mizhou area, and the first batch of Thai and Western immigrants boarded a ship to go to Dongyi Kingdom. 》
"The exploration team of the former Ming Dynasty Military Governor's Mansion discovered a giant lake in the interior of the eastern plateau of Mozhou, with a water surface area of tens of thousands of square kilometers. 》
Zhu Jingyuan felt quite satisfied when he looked at the news sent, reported and copied from all parties.
The British-French coalition and the American-Canadian alliance fought a bad war in Beiyinzhou. This was a pair of sovereign states and a pair of colonies that consumed each other, which was certainly a good thing for the Ming Dynasty.
Daming's current mentality is to hit him hard, I want to see blood flowing like a river.
This battle will not be over for a while. What Daming wants to do now is not only to watch the show, but also to do what he should do.
The "New Daming Lake" planned by Zhu Jingyuan has finally been discovered.
This large lake on the eastern plateau of Mozhou is the historical Lake Victoria. It is the largest lake in Mozhou and the second largest Danshui lake in the world, second only to Lake Superior in the Five Great Lakes District of Beiyinzhou.
At the same time, Mozhou actually also has a large lake area. Lake Victoria, Lake Tanganyika, and Lake Malawi are three large lakes. Their areas rank second, fifth, and eighth respectively among the world's freshwater lakes.
The environment and climate around the Great Lakes area in Mozhou are actually better than those in the Five Great Lakes in Beiyinzhou.
In other words, North Yinzhou's "open-door style apartments" are not good in themselves, and they are outclassed by South Yinzhou's Xintianfu.
The new Daming Lake planned by Zhu Jingyuan is located on the equator. The sun shines directly twice a year, and the shadow is in the north half of the year and in the south half of the year.
The location is in a tropical area and there are no seasonal changes throughout the year, so the temperature does not change much throughout the year.
But the local temperature is not hot.
Because it is located on a plateau at an altitude of 1,100 meters, the water of Daming Lake helps regulate heat.
Daily temperatures throughout the year range from 16 to 30 degrees, and the highest extreme temperature in history does not exceed 36 degrees.
The summer is cooler than most local cities in the Ming Dynasty, equivalent to mid-spring to early summer throughout the year.
The annual precipitation is only 1,200 millimeters, which is very close to the Yangtze River and Huaihe River basins. It is warm and humid without flooding.
It is almost the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau after the terrain has been smoothed, with a more stable climate and flatter terrain.
The area around this large lake is almost the best place in the entire Mo Continent and the most suitable place for human habitation.
Now that "Da Ming Lake" has been found, he can now formally propose the additional reward that his mother privately asked his father for.
Zhu Jingyuan didn't hesitate at all, and wrote a telegram directly to his emperor father, Zhu Jianyan, asking for the land around this big lake in Africa.
Zhu Jingyuan's original intention was to circle tens of thousands of square kilometers along the lakeshore and build a tourist resort.
By the time he retires, the land there should be fully developed and mature, and he can just go there to retire.
Now Ming Dynasty has too much overseas land.
If there is no one to specifically guide and develop a certain piece of land, if there is no local gold mine to attract immigrants, and if it is still in an inland area, the development and maturity will be very slow.
】
Maybe it will still be the same in twenty or thirty years.
Zhu Jingyuan told Zhu Jianyan his true thoughts directly and frankly.
But instead of using the experience of a previous life, I "analyzed" and judged that the climate there is livable based on the knowledge of geography and meteorology, so I planned to build a retirement resort there.
When Zhu Jianyan saw his son's message, he was full of confusion and confusion:
"This kid is only sixteen, why are he thinking about arranging things after retirement? Is it because he is about to become a father?"
Zhu Jianyan thought about it for a while, then called some bachelors from the cabinet and several relevant ministers to discuss it together.
If Zhu Jingyuan alone asked for a reward for Zhu Jianyan just after the negotiation, it was indeed a private matter between them.
If Zhu Jianyan agrees, he will just make his own decision and grant a piece of land to Zhu Jingyuan.
But now things have changed.
Zhu Jianyan held the telegram in his hand. He did not show it to several bachelors and ministers, but said directly:
"My son Jingyuan thinks that the climate of the Great Lakes area on the eastern plateau of Mozhou is like spring all year round, so he asked me for a piece of land there to build some convalescent manors and facilities.
"I think he can be rewarded for his recent contribution to education. You can share your thoughts now..."
Several academicians and ministers thought about it for a while, and Huang Yue, the Minister of Rites, was the first to speak:
"The films, amplifiers and typewriters made by His Highness Prince Dashi have contributed as much to the education of the country as he did to Cai Hou in making paper. I think he should be given additional favors.
"According to the current report of the exploration team, the large lake in the eastern part of Mozhou is located in the middle of two huge rift valleys and is a relatively independent platform.
"The total area is estimated to be nearly one million square kilometers. This area can be directly sealed in the Great Food Country."
As soon as the words here finished, the Minister of Industry came out and said:
"His Royal Highness has also made great contributions in designing mobile production lines for aircraft and automobiles, designing and developing star engines, designing the aircraft itself, and even planning the Aviation Industry Association."
Then came the Minister of War:
"His Royal Highness has also made great contributions in presiding over the design of new warships, airborne weapons, new armored fighting vehicles, and submachine guns."
The minister of Honglu Temple also stood up and said:
"Instigating a war of attrition between Britain, France and the United States and Canada in Yinzhou and seizing millions of square kilometers of fertile land without using a single soldier is also the credit of His Highness Prince Dashi."
A group of people here showed their appreciation to Zhu Jingyuan, which made Zhu Jianyan feel a little embarrassed.
The Minister of Rites also felt that what he asked for at the beginning seemed a bit less.
So he added again:
"In this case, all the lands in the eastern part of Mozhou that have not been established as vassal states may as well be directly sealed in the Dashi Kingdom, and all the areas His Highness intends to be listed as His Highness's personal property."
The other ministers had no objections and expressed their agreement.
Someone else came forward and gave detailed suggestions. The Great Lakes area allocated to Zhu Jingyuan could be expanded eastward and connected to the coastline.
These ministers are very generous.
First, Zhu Jingyuan's contribution is indeed great. Zhu Jingyuan's current state has made many people see what it was like when Emperor Shizu was alive.
Second, in the current situation of the royal family, the future heir has basically been determined. No matter how many things are granted to Zhu Jingyuan now, they will all belong to the Ming Dynasty in the end.
Zhu Jingyuan, the richest prince in the Ming Dynasty, used the large amount of wealth given by the imperial village to develop these sites at his own expense, and the court also enjoyed the benefits.
Third, the land in overseas colonies is indeed worthless, especially in Mozhou where there are too many indigenous people and it is too chaotic.
Except for those important strongholds along the coast, such as the Zanzibar area on the coast, most people have little interest in the land inland of Mexico.
In the end, these lands were negotiated by Zhu Jingyuan and were acquired at the negotiating table.
In short, I don't feel bad, don't worry, don't worry about losing my big tail, and I really need to reward Zhu Jingyuan.
Zhu Jianyan didn't think too much and discussed it with a group of ministers for a long time, mainly to finalize the details.
Until the afternoon of the next day, Zhu Jianyan, as his father and emperor, and Honglu Temple sent a reply to Zhu Jingyuan at the same time.
Zhu Jianyan was obviously shocked when he saw the news from both sides, especially the official decision of the court.
They directly allocated more than 3.5 million square kilometers of land in central and eastern Mexico, north of Zimbabwe, north of central Mozambique, south of Ethiopia and Sudan, including the upper reaches of the Congo River, to the United States. Food country.
There are already a large number of indigenous people in this area, so it would have been necessary to set up a new vassal state to manage it and bring it directly under the scope of the Dashi Kingdom. Instead, it would have been unnecessary to come up with a separate name for the vassal state.
However, the main territory of the Dashi Country is the Dashi Peninsula. Now that such a large piece of land has been added to the east of Mozhou, and there are indigenous people there, it feels like the Dashi Country also has a colony.
At the same time, a total of more than 1.2 million square kilometers of land in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and other places, from the Mozhou Grand Canyon in the west to Zanzibar on the east coast, was directly allocated to Zhu Jingyuan personally.
Regardless of whether a chief envoy is set up in this area in the future, the land surrounding the new Daming Lake belongs to Zhu Jingyuan personally.
In Zhu Jingyuan's opinion, this reward was really the most generous of Kang.
However, the court documents also stated why they were given so much land.
In addition to what his father Zhu Jianyan, the emperor, gave him personally, he also received a lot of rewards from the imperial court for important inventions.
In the description, he listed all the things he invented that were of great significance.
Including movies, amplifiers, typewriters, as well as aircraft and automobile production lines, radial engines, submachine guns, etc.
Zhu Jingyuan looked at this list and realized that he had come up with so many new things.
At the same time, with his current status, the court has nothing to give him but more land.
Compared with the official nature of court documents, the private telegrams sent by his father to him were relatively straightforward and candid.
My father had almost told all the old gentlemen in the imperial court what they thought.
Zhu Jingyuan also laughed after reading it. In fact, he could almost figure it out without his father reminding him.
Zhu Jingyuan was also happy to accept this approach.
These lands are of course Ming Dynasty’s territory, but they are also their own lands.
After slowly digesting the information, Zhu Jingyuan began to make plans.
The first goal is to build the best port "Manbasa" in the middle of the eastern part of Mozhou. Manbasa is also known as Mombasa in later generations, and build a high-standard railway from here to Daming Lake as a starting point.
Subsequently, the railway network will be gradually expanded to connect several large lake areas in eastern Mozhou.
From the Great Lakes Region to Mombasa and Zanzibar, this area is the most livable and most potential area for development in Mexico.
Maybe the natural conditions are too good, so all the Mo people here have been raised to waste.
Zhu Jingyuan asked people to contact the Royal Railway Company directly and paid for them to explore, plan and construct.
Transporting troops and controlling inland areas inherently require better transportation conditions.
But the Governor's Office doesn't really want to invest on its own to build a high-standard railway in the Dongmozhou area, which has limited value.
Now that Zhu Jingyuan is willing to contribute part of the money, the three parties have hit it off.
The railway company immediately organized an exploration team, escorted by the Dudufu troops, to explore the environment and find a suitable route.
