Chapter 531 The earth is round, so Europe is in the east! Ask for a monthly pass)

"Brother, fortunately, I have not been humiliated. I have finally convinced my elder brother and the King of Nanyue to go south to block the Western Ocean. As long as you give the title of King of Nanyue after they go south......"

In Nanjing, Jinling Palace, and on the Star Gazing Tower, Zhao Kai, who had just returned from Guangdong, was standing in front of a fake world map, reporting on his gains in Guangdong.

"Feng Nandi?" Zhao Kai turned his head and looked at his brother, "Chair, do you know the difference between the emperor and the king?"

"Of course I know," Zhao Zhi said, "The emperor is the sect leader under the world, and he is ordered to govern all nations by heaven. The king is only the king of a country, and the emperor is two levels."

"Two-class?" Zhao Kai was stunned, "Why are there two-class? Who else is there between the emperor and the king?"

"There are also emperors or children's emperors!" Zhao Yizhen said, "In the past, Shi Jingtang once followed the ministers and fathers served in Khitan and was granted the title of the sons. This Shi Jin was one of the five seasons, and Emperor Xuanzu once served in Shi Jin. We must not ignore it, right?"

The Emperor Xuanzu mentioned in "Zhao Chazi" is Zhao Kuangyin's father Zhao Hongyin. Zhao Hongyin was a loyal minister of the four dynasties who served the Later Tang, Later Jin, Later Han and Later Zhou! Moreover, before he defected to Emperor Zhuangzong of Tang, Li Cunxu, he also served the governor of Chengde, King Zhao Wang Rong, who was named King of Zhao.

Because Zhao Hongyin was an official in the Later Jin Dynasty, Zhao Kai had to recognize the legitimacy of the son emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty, and he himself also made Yelu Yanxi the son emperor.

Therefore, between the two levels of emperor and king under the world, there is now another "child emperor".

"Zhao Kaizi" saw that Zhao Kai was speechless, so he continued to fool him: "Brother Emperor, the scope of this world is getting wider and wider now. The system of all the vassal states paying tribute to you directly is a bit out of place, and you can't care about it.

If you can't control it, those vassal states will sooner or later lose control and will take advantage of us in different ways. Moreover, once the vassal states lose control, our entire world will not be able to expand... Don't you still want to spread the power of the sky beyond the world?

Therefore, I feel it is necessary to add a child or emperor to the emperor to the emperor, so that he can override the vassal kings, and he can govern several vassal states for you."

The words "Zhao Zhizi" actually have some truth. Zhao Kai's "global colonization" did not follow the route of centralized authority of officials, but followed the feudal system of "the whole world" - this was not Zhao Kai's wish, but historical inertia. Because the Song Dynasty he reopened was originally semi-feudal and semi-primary. Once he expanded out, he naturally followed the Xia monarch and the people of the country and the country had other feudal routes.

Moreover, so far, the expansion of "the world is not done by Zhao Kai's central empire, but by those forces that were defeated and dispersed by him.

It is indeed unbelievable to say that this colonial expansion is often the people below who make trouble themselves more powerful than the central court.

For example, the British Empire’s colonization of India in history was just a little bit organized by an East India trading company?

The British colonization of the thirteen states of North America was caused by persecuted Puritans in their native land.

The Spanish Empire's colonization of America actually began with Columbus, who sponsored the Spanish kings. Hernan Cortez and Francisco Pizarro, who pushed the Spanish career in America to the peak, were both "temporary workers adventurers" who had not been formally organized.

In the original history, Yelu Dashi, who established the Western Liao Empire in Central Asia, was forced to run away by the Jurchens.

And this kind of temporary workers without a staffing, a profitable businessman or a feudal lord who was defeated and ran away, had wild methods, was flexible in mind, and was also enthusiastic - the benefits they got were all their own!

In contrast, those bureaucrats with office work are completely ineffective. They are not that wild or so cruel. They have rules and regulations in their minds, and they are not very enthusiastic. They are also from the emperor's family. They just make some money and then change places to become officials.

If there weren't more than 700,000 military officials who were determined to occupy the land, Zhao Kai's court would not be able to occupy the territory of the grasslands in the northeast, Hexi, and southern Mo.

But on the territory that the soldiers of the palace did not want (too far, too hot, too desolate, etc.), Zhao Kai, the official family, didn't know how to colonize? The colonization matter was not just sending troops to beat them up, they had to occupy it.

But to occupy the territory...this matter is complicated!

Different places must use different policies, and they cannot be one-size-fits-all, and they must be adapted to local conditions.

"Zhao Zhizi" said to Zhao Kai at this time: "Brother, the area in the south of the world is full of miasma and dysentery, and the Han people in the Central Plains can only gain a foothold on the cooler seaside or cleaner mature land.

Therefore, we, or the South Vietnam Kingdom, have no strength to eradicate the countries in Tiannan... can only eat them bit by bit. That is, they can beat them up, let them cut off a piece of land, pay some money, agree to accept the education of "coarse scholars", and then call them ministers. But the king of Nanyue is just a king, and the monarchs of Zhenla, Sanfoqi, Zhanpo, Boni and other countries below are also kings. In what name does the king of Nanyue command them? We can't let the kings of Tiannan Kingdom become vassals of the emperor's brothers, just like the kings of Nanyue?"

It is true that this cannot be... If all the countries in Tiannan respect Zhao Kai, instead of Zhao Chen, then the South Vietnamese country will be equal and there will be no power to conquer them.

"Brother, you must not do this!" Zhao Kaizi reminded Zhao Kai, "If the King of Nanyue is equal to the kings of Tiannan... Then should the people of Nanyue and the people of Tiannan be equal? ​​Once the division between the country and the wilderness is gone, the land of Tiannan cannot be taken down!"

The characteristics of feudal colonization are not only the greater autonomy of the colony, but also the upper and lower levels. It means there must be "Xia monarchs and barbarians, and the country and the country and the country and the country and the country and the country and the emperor must not be equal, let alone "Xuandehua and Ruluo people". Because if you do this, it will be more cost-effective to be a savage, and a small number of savages will be assimilated by a large number of savages!

Zhao Kai has already understood that in order to make the land of Tiannan forever the land of China, Zhao Chen must be superior to the kings of Tiannan, and the people must be superior to the savages. In this way, Zhao Chen can constantly cut off the kings of Tiannan to strengthen his strength. The Chinese people under him can also live a life of superiors by oppressing the savages, and the strongest among the savages can also be promoted to the savages by working for Zhao Chen, and live a life of superiors by living...

Zhao Kai nodded, "Chair, I understand... Chen'er should indeed be the Southern Emperor! But Chen'er can't just think about becoming the king in Tiannan! I sent Rome to Guangzhou with one word, shoulder-to-shoulder king, just to let him return to Rome from the Western Seas and regain the throne as the Heavenly King. Only when the remnants of the Jin thieves are completely destroyed can our world be at ease!"

As he spoke, Zhao Kai raised his hand and pointed to the "fake world map" hanging on the wall, and said with a smile: "Look at the chair, this is Rome!"

Zhao Zhizi looked up and first found the place with the picture "The Great Song Dynasty is the world" written on it, then swept to the right, and found Western Rome - the European continent, on the east side of Japan.

"Rome is east of Japan," Zhao Yi looked at it and smiled, "It's not very far... two months of sailing are enough."

Of course, Zhao Kai knew that this map was wrong. The Pacific Ocean above had become Taipinggou, while the Eurasian continent was painted too long, so I don’t know where the Atlantic Ocean went?

However, he would not correct these mistakes, but would let his explorers use this wrong map to discover the unknown world... If he is lost and disappears, then change to the explorer! As an explorer, he should not be afraid of risks!

"This is the Western Rome," Zhao Kai smiled, "Look over there, that is the Eastern Rome... The chair, the earth under our feet is round, so the Western Rome is on the east side of Japan."

"Maybe it's a sea bowl shape," Zhao Zhizi smiled, "Brother, look at how long this picture is... I can't roll out a circle!"

Zhao Kai looked at the picture and it seemed that it was difficult to roll it into a ball, because there was no southern hemisphere! I am afraid that the earth will be called the "ground bowl" in the future.

"Whether it's a ball or a bowl, we have to go to Rome to challenge the thieves!" Zhao Kai said firmly, but in fact he didn't care about Wanyan Xibao, who became the Roman king... The main threat to the future world is not Türkiye and Greece, but England and America are dangerous!

So the thieves who challenged the gold were just an excuse. While America had not yet come out and England was still young, it was just right to clean up them all.

So he said to Zhao Zhi again: "Chie, I want to divide the troops into two groups, and the East Road crosses the sea to land in Western Rome from east to west...that area is now England, France and Green and Clothing (Spain); the West Road goes to the West Road, looking for a waterway to enter the Mediterranean Sea...this way is left to you to explore. When you become the sacrificial envoy of Guangdong and Guangxi, you can recruit sailors, build large ships, and go west to find a route.

Once both east and west routes are found, we can divide the troops into two groups and send troops to Rome!"

What Zhao Kai wanted Zhao Yi to look for was actually a way to go to England! Although he didn't know who ruled England now? But he must be the ancestor of the evil British colonists!

If the son does not teach, the father’s fault! If their descendants do not do good things, they have to take the blame!

Zhao Yi looked at the map and felt that the road to the west of the Mediterranean Sea was quite far away, but he didn't have to walk by himself, just let others find it. So he replied with a smile: "My brother received the order, I must send more ships to travel far, so that I can find the way."
