The Three Kingdoms Time and Space No. 1 is now in the fifth year of the arrival of the three years and the third year of Shenwu, which is the 205th Gregorian calendar used in modern time and space. Since the beginning of this year, Xu Yue, the Imperial Heaven Supervision Supervisor of the Imperial Academy, presided over the formulation of the Heavenly Dao Calendar of Fengtian Yongli Daming (hereinafter referred to as the Heavenly Dao Calendar), this set of calendars has been rapidly implemented within the territory of the Ming Empire and surrounding areas.

The Heavenly Dao Calendar is actually the same as the Gregorian calendar, but the starting point is different. It is calculated from the year when Li Zhe came, that is, 200, which is the year when he arrived, and so on.

Compared with the lunar calendar commonly used in the Ming Empire, the advantage of the Gregorian calendar is that it fully takes into account the astronomy significance and coordinates the earth's revolution and rotation cycle. However, in terms of moon phases and tides, as well as the earth's climate change, it is not as useful as the lunar calendar for human production and life. The two calendars have their own advantages and disadvantages and are implemented in parallel. For Li Zhe, the biggest advantage is that there is no need to bother to calculate the difference in the calendar between the two time and space!

This time, Li Zhe briefly looked at the development of the Ming Empire in all aspects. Overall, it was basically in good operation. Of course, the details are some of the things worth discussing.

...

The southernmost end of the empire's territory is the Strait of Malacca, the Port of Su Harbor (Singapore), and the new anchorage of the Empire's South China Sea Fleet.

Fleet Commander Gan Ning was chatting with his friend Su Fei.

"Hi! I've been moldy here for several months. The high-ranking men in the Privy Council have not yet approved the plan for our westward advance. I have nothing to do here every day, so I can only serve as guards for those merchant ships. It's really...ah! I'm all bored for my poor subordinates!"

Gan Ning's friend Su Fei, who is also a general of the South China Sea Fleet, couldn't help but feel happy after hearing Gan Ning's complaint, "I said, "Old guy! You're too much! Our South China Sea Fleet has been busy for several years, and it took so long for the young men to come ashore to smell the fishy smell. It's just over a month since you took a break and you can't stand it.

Then what should you do if the old guys in the country? Think about the sharpest imperial spear of the empire in the past, General Wei Jue Ye, who has been in Chang'an for many years, and his hundreds of thousands of troops have not been allowed to move without any action. He can only deal with the indigenous Qiang tribes. He is almost turned into fossils! Compared to them, I think you are content with happiness!"

When Su Fei talked about Wei Yan, Gan Ning's face immediately became gloating, "Haha! That's right, the most powerful person in the past, Mr. Wei was so powerful that he controlled both military and political circles alone. He had hundreds of thousands of troops under his command, even the cabinet was a little scared, haha! Now he can only show off his might in the Senate.

Our navy, no matter what, is always much stronger than the army. When the army was hiking mountains and eating soil in the steep forests, we were already thousands of miles away on the sea. Speaking of which, it was a lucky decision for our brothers to join General Zhang at that time!" Su Fei's words made Gan Ning involuntarily think of Zhang Liao, and he felt a little moved.

"Yes! That's true, but speaking of it, General Zhang's encounter is enviable. We are just expanding territory around the empire. They have already fought to the heavens, which is really awesome!" Not long after these two guys turned the focus to Zhang Liao again, and they talked about the mysterious and mysterious heavenly soldiers and generals!

In fact, when it comes to the army, the Imperial Navy brothers were extremely envious in the past, but now they have become a downward posture full of strong sense of pride.

In the Ming Empire in the third year of Shenwu, the development of the army has undergone a grand change. Because in recent years, the empire's strategic direction has shifted, the main expansion direction has become the navy. The army has lost the support of national strength, so it naturally becomes a little like a grandma who doesn't love his uncle or loves him.

To the east, north and south, the control of the three naval fleets has fully crossed beyond the first and second Pacific island chains, and is penetrating into the central area deep in the Pacific Ocean. Behind the naval soldiers, tens of millions of square kilometers of maritime territory have been included in the country. Countless rare treasures and countless huge colonial profits have been poured into the empire's pockets through the expansion of the navy. Relatively speaking, the army can only deal with the barbarians in the poor mountain valleys, and the overall morale is very natural.

In the main direction of naval expansion today, the imperial territory in the south has expanded to the Indochina Peninsula in modern time and space. All the way was General Cao Ren, the Zhonglang of Zhennan Army, led his army to advance southward along the Honghe River Basin and the Mekong River Basin by land; the other way was under the command of Gan Ning, the governor of the South China Sea Fleet of the Ming Empire and Xu Huang, the commander of the newly established Nannan Army, and frogs jumped over along Hue, Hoi'an, Da Nang, Longchuan and other places, and a port attacked the surroundings. The offensive blossomed everywhere along the coast of the Indochina Peninsula.

Not only Jiaozhi, but also the counties in the south of the Rinan region were captured one by one, and large areas such as Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and other modern space-time were also conquered by the iron hooves of the Ming army. The primitive natives in the local area retreated in front of the offensives of flintlock rifles, incendiary bombs, mines and grenades. Many times, they were facing the terrifying army of gods who could set fire to lightning and set fire. They basically raised their hands and surrendered as soon as they met. There were countless natives in the tribe who were willing to act as slaves of the "gods".

The war between the imperial army has been expanding to the Gulf of Thailand in modern time and space! Of course, it is no longer called the Gulf of Thailand, but Ganning Bay.

Speaking of this, we have to mention the rookie of the Imperial Navy, formerly from Ba County, Yizhou, and now the governor of the South China Sea Fleet, Gan Ning. Since taking over the baton of the South China Sea Fleet from Zhang Liao, this guy immediately burst out with amazing combat power and almost immediately became the new spear of the Imperial Navy. He led the South China Sea Fleet to expand south and was brave and good at fighting, destroying countless countries, and also pioneered the frog jumping tactic of the Imperial Marines, greatly increasing the expansion speed of the Empire. He can be called a new generation of generals in the Imperial Navy!

But this guy is both wise and brave when fighting, but he is really weird. He likes to be unconventional and often does things that make the bosses of the Imperial Privy Council extremely troubled.

When the Imperial Fleet explored the area near the Gulf of Thailand for the first time, because the locals were natives and the communication was inconvenient, the Imperial Army surveyors needed to identify the area with a name. After hearing this, the guy was so arrogant that he was so arrogant that he was forced to induce the surveying map of the Empire at the cost of two bottles of fine wine.

After that, a series of conquest plans of the empire were successful, and the Gulf of Thailand was included in the territory. The Bay of Ganning became the official name of this sea area that was much larger than the Bohai Sea. The name of Ganning was obviously, and it will soon be passed down with the actions of this rogue!

As soon as this move was made, it was immediately in an uproar!

The generals and soldiers of the Imperial Navy suddenly discovered another value of the Emperor's life in Gan Ning's action! That is desperate conquest and exploration. Through this effort, ordinary soldiers of the Empire can also achieve a goal that countless sages in ancient China could not achieve in the past - scale their names on the history of this vast planet in the form of place names. This action greatly aroused the Emperor's people's sense of honor and desire to conquer. In just a few months, it became a conventional rule in the empire's conquest army.

After realizing the potential impact of this trend on the morale of the Emperor ** team and the endless benefits that might be obtained from it, the Imperial Privy Council had already made the decision to punish Gan Ning for such a good act of making a move, and the name Gan Ning Bay was officially circulated openly!

Subsequently, it is not surprising that a series of strange place names appeared. One of the most direct consequences is that the most famous modern time and space is that Singapore, which is an important hub that connects the two oceans, is the exit of the Strait of Malacca. The name of the Three Kingdoms time and space becomes a simple Sugang, named after the friend of Gan Ning and the important general of the South China Sea Fleet.

Now, the Nanyang of the Three Kingdoms time and space has completely become the hinterland of the Imperial Navy, and Sugang has become the spear of the Imperial Navy, which has always maintained a conquest (Justice Jia Xu, the Grand Marshal of the Imperial Privy Council) - the anchorage of the South China Sea Fleet!

The indigenous people around the Southeast Ocean turned into low-priced labor slaves under the iron hooves of the empire. With the expansion of the empire's industrial civilization, these guys who still adhered to the living habits of primitive society were violently coerced and jumped to the slave era at one time.

Tens of thousands of hectares of rubber, sugar cane, spices, and chrysanthemums replaced the primitive jungle. The plantation economy began to take root in this vast area. Thousands of imperial residents held flintlock guns and grenades on their backs, and used imperial-grade earth-made incendiary bombs to deal with the extremely stubborn equatorial tropical rainforest. Under the burning of the bushfires, large areas of mines and fertile fields were opened, opening up the vigorous wave of imperial citizens' gold hunting for the imperial citizens!

Of course, with the expansion of imperial citizens, the expansion of imperial industrial capital was a significant expansion, hundreds of steam engines and sailboats traveled back and forth between the empire's land and the South Ocean, and hundreds of ports rose to the ground under the influence of the large-scale machinery industry. This action also directly led to the significant expansion of the imperial seaports and shipbuilding industry again.

The various history of explorers and colonists derived from this directly created a large number of bizarre social phenomena. The first wave of extroverted civilizations in the early empire flourished, bloody and conquest, exploration and expansion, definition of barbarism, and interpretation of civilization spread the chaos of the entire era.
