Xiong Wencan set out to arrange, arrange manpower and ships, arrange tasks for them, and repeatedly declared the seriousness of it.

Fifteen medium-sized ships, carrying a group of small ships, quickly drove away from the port and rushed towards the vast sea like wolves.

Zhu Xu was arranged in a barracks. Although the study and bedroom were a bit ordinary, they were clean and refreshing.

Zhu Xu washed up and sat at the table, quietly watching the various information collected from Zhu Youjian's war room.

It was piled up like a small hill, and Zhu Xu did not delete it, and she was flipping through it on her own.

He drank tea and ate pastries, and watched slowly. It didn't take long for him to find what he wanted.

Although Zhu Youjian said that there were 20,000 red-haired people, there was a lot of water here, and there might be claws. The natives of Wa Island mixed in, and the real Holland people were probably less than 3,000. This was because there was war nearby, and the Holland people happened to be mobilized, otherwise there would be even fewer.

As for the Spanish and the Gastroenter, although they occupied the Philippines, the number of people was less than 2,000, and they all meant that ants ate elephants.

Zhu Xu stared at the information and kept whispering: "It seems that we have to ask them how they rule such a big place with this little person..."

Putting this information aside, Zhu Xu held the pastry in one hand and flipped through the information below with the other.

The ones in his hands were mainly investigated by the Jinyiwei, and soon solved Zhu Xu's doubts.

In fact, neither Spain nor the Netherlands completely occupied these islands, but occupied some fertile, seaside and mature land, which were all small, rarely completely occupied, and also had a "contract" with the local area, which was non-aggressive, traded with each other, etc.

Zhu Xu's mouth moved, shook his head and sighed: "It's all nonsense, you believe it too..."

All of these are because of the Dutch, Spanish and American Dracula. They are not strong enough for the time being. Once they recover or reinforcements arrive, they will embezzle them and will not let them go at all!

At the same time, Zhu Xu also understood that, for example, Taiwan, and Qiongzhou, the development of the land is extremely limited, and most of the places are still deserted and take time to reclaim. This is also the reason why these colonists did not swallow the islands, but with the development of time, these places will definitely be developed, which means that the colonists will further expand and swallow all of them!

Zhu Xu chewed pastries in his mouth, tapped his index finger on the edge of the table, and his heart flew.

The Ming Dynasty naturally could not be a desolate cattle, but it could not wait. The colonists' set was too bloody and did not meet the urgent needs of the Ming Dynasty now.

"Is the Great Federation..." Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes and thought of many control methods in an instant. This "federal system" is the most suitable one, which is the so-called "using barbarians to control barbarians", to obtain the greatest benefits at the minimum cost.

He turned a dozen ways to his mind, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Cao Huachun, who was not far away, looked at him, lowered his head slightly, and thought to himself that he didn't know who was going to be unlucky.

Zhu Xu widowed for a while, calmed down and continued to flip through the information.

These things are messy, and it is too tiring to analyze what needs are needed from them. Zhu Xu doesn't have the need to do this, just look at what he is interested in.

Not long after, he found a thick stack of "expositions" that aroused his interest.

These are confessed by those "illegal" missionaries, telling their colonization process, methods, methods, and methods, and in a very detailed manner.

Zhu Xu didn't eat pastries or drink tea, so he carefully examined it.

Missionaries were indeed the biggest accomplices of the colonists at this time. The church was a core of colonial rule. Every time they went there, they would force local indigenous people to believe in religion, otherwise they would be punished or even killed, with cruel and bloody means.

“Is mind control?”

Zhu Xu thought about it, and he decided that in the future, the statue of Confucius would be everywhere where the Ming army went, and he would recompile some classics and output them together!

After a while, Zhu Xu saw what he wanted to see even more.

This is a "gift" outlined to Europe, which roughly describes the situation in Europe.

Now Europe is still in the Holy Roman Empire era, but this empire has been in name only, and its internal disintegration has long been broken. All countries have continued alliances and wars.

Among them, Spain is the most powerful and ruled an extremely huge area. Even if the invincible fleet is gone, it is still a giant and unshakable.

The Netherlands is an emerging country and is extremely active in maritime trade. It is independent from Spain and Spain. Many nearby provinces such as the Netherlands are still struggling to independence from Spain and Spain. The Netherlands supports it, which arouses the anger of Spain.

The relationship between Spain and the Netherlands is very complex. It is hostile in Europe and has the same power as water and fire, but it has always been "respected as guests" overseas and does not violate it.

The Grape and Gate have been annexed by Spain and Spain. Britain adhered to "neutrality" and was still developing silently. The king of France was Louis XIV. He is now carrying a group of princes of all sizes and big and small to fight with countries under the rule of the Holy Roman Empire represented by Germany. This war has been affecting the entire Europe for more than 20 years and has not yet ended.

There is even more complexity. The Holy Roman Empire has to deal with internal chaos and face the threat of the Ottoman Empire's westward advance. Spain and Spain have led an allied army and have fought with the Ottomans several times, each with their victory or defeat, and are still in a stalemate.

In a word, Europe is very messy now, and it is a mess.

But this chaos obviously represents a limit, a kind of breaking and then standing. Perhaps, Europe will change drastically and make great strides into a new era.

In Zhu Xu's impression, the Dutch and Orchids were about to dominate the sea, and it would not take long for Britain and Britain to defeat the Dutch and Orchids. The era of the empire that the sun never sets will begin!

Seeing this, Zhu Xu felt much pressure and couldn't help but breathe a deep breath.

"This is the last chance, and the Ming Dynasty must catch up!"

Zhu Xu clenched his right fist, his eyes burning as if he was about to burn. He had to catch up. If he couldn't catch up, he would never have a chance again.

But, the biggest resistance is not outside, but inside the Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Xu slowly looked at the table with his fingers, and suddenly looked up at Cao Huachun and said, "Is there any news coming from the capital?"

Cao Huachun took two steps forward and recalled: "It's still peaceful. One is that the current cadets are dissatisfied and clamored endlessly. The second is that Chahar is not very calm and seems to have some abnormal movements. The third is that there is flooding in Shaanxi and western China, which has been controlled. The fourth and fourth and Sichuan earthquakes have extended to several prefectures and more than 100 counties, killing and injured more than 600 people."

Zhu Xu frowned and said, "You said, there is waterlogging in Shaanxi now? Is it true?"

Cao Huachun said, "It should be true. The cabinet inferred that this year's plum rain meeting will be ahead of schedule and have informed all over the country and prepare early."

Zhu Xu leaned on the chair, thinking with his eyes open.

Sometimes, we can't blame these adults for keeping shouting "internal reform and external resignation". Anyone who is now would probably think so and do this.

However, the limitations of history are sometimes not scary, and sometimes they are particularly scary as they are now.

The Ming Dynasty has missed the great geographical discovery. If it does not participate in the current "Age of Discovery", there will be no chance in the future and will definitely repeat the mistakes of the Qing Dynasty!

Zhu Xu pondered and said, "Collection of my speeches along the way, you can write a copy yourself, and I will review it myself. By the way, you must follow the newspaper's template."

Cao Huachun understood and said, "Yes."

"Also," Zhu Xu paused his finger and said, "There is a 'Four and Five Halls' in the palace, which is in the original Sixth Science Gallery. Some people are inevitably angry and unwilling to write as I ask. If you find some people to put them in, be serious and obedient, the writing is a necessary condition. Let them write first. If I write it, I will read it. Not only will it be published to the public. In the future, students of the Zhengyuan are must-read materials, such as Zhu Cheng Neo-Confucianism... need to be revised..."

Cao Huachun looked at Zhu Xu, hesitated, and did not answer the conversation immediately.

The emperor wanted to tamper with the Bible. The consequences were too terrible. Not only now, it may also leave a reputation for eternity!

This must not be done!

"Emperor," Cao Huachun said hesitantly, "I dare to fight, please slow down this matter."

Zhu Xu looked up at him and smiled and said, "Okay, I know what you are thinking. I know what I am thinking. I know what I am thinking. Please send the order."

Cao Huachun was still worried. Seeing that Zhu Xu had made up his mind, he had to say, "Abide by the order."

When Zhu Xu saw Cao Huachun turn around, he took another copy of the memorial.

These are things that Zhu Xu can only decide after the cabinet is drafted.

Zhu Xu is now familiar with government affairs, so he picked up the pen to appraise the article after taking a look.

"Your Majesty, the letter from the Franji man." Before he could read a few books, Zhu Youjian walked in quickly with a letter.

Zhu Xu was stunned and immediately said, "What have you written?"

Zhu Youjian has read it, translated it, and said: "Basically speaking, these are mobs and chaos, and they have to be killed. I hope my Ming Dynasty understands it."

Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhu Youjian and said, "That's all?" Zhu Xu's implication is to apologize, compensate, and come to apologize for these things?

Zhu Youjian shook his head directly and said, "Yes, there are only these."

Zhu Xu laughed angrily and said, "Okay, do you want to send me away? King Tang, you should draw a document of condemnation, and the words must be rigorous, tell them that the chief officers and soldiers involved in the massacre must be escorted to our Ming Dynasty trial, otherwise they can send troops to conquer, and it is absolutely unforgiving!"

When Zhu Youjian heard this, his body was corrected and said, "I obey the order!" After that, he turned around and left.

Zhu Xu knocked on the table with his fingers anxiously. After a while, he snorted coldly and said to himself: "When the battle is over, I will see how I deal with you!"

After saying this, Zhu Xu suppressed his anger and continued to look at the original song.

At this moment, a fleet that had not long gone to sea, found three merchant ships from afar. They were not big, only eleven or twelve feet long, with heavy water draw and slow walking.

On the Ming Dynasty ship, there was a captain standing on the bow of the ship. He was watching with a telescope and suddenly said happily, "This is the red-haired man's merchant ship, there are only a few dozen red-haired man, hurry up, fire me!"

As soon as his voice fell, the artillery at the bow began to aim and ignite.

Bang

Suddenly the cannon exploded, and a shell flew out and headed straight for the fleet.

Bang

The shells fell into the water and exploded with a splash of water.

On the leading merchant ship, the red-haired men and some Asian faces were panicked, running back and forth, chattering, and dancing.
