- In Daxing City, Daxing State in the Gulf of Guinea, Xing Wang Zhu Youqi was carefully studying the colonial distribution map of West Africa in his study room, frowning while looking at it.
Xing Wang Zhu Youqi is the fourth son of Ming Xianzong Zhu Jianshen, the half-brother of Emperor Hongzhi, the uncle of Zhu Houzhao, and the biological father of Ming Shizong Zhu Houcong in history.
In the seventh year of Hongzhi, that is, when Zhu Youqi reached adulthood at the age of eighteen, he went to Luzhou, Huguang to establish a vassal state, and to establish a king.
Historical records show that Xing Wang Zhu Youqi was one of the Five Great Princes of the Ming Dynasty who had no ambitions, did not like to indulge in pleasure, and loved art and literature. He even wrote his own book and had his own representative work "Poetry of Enji".
It can be said that Zhu Youqi in history was very clear about his status. Regarding the throne of Emperor Ming, he did not dare to show the slightest ambition. Of course, even if he had ambition, it would be of no use.
Because the status of his brother, Emperor Hongzhi, was very stable. Not only Emperor Xianzong of Ming Dynasty liked Emperor Hongzhi, but most of the ministers in the court also supported Emperor Hongzhi. Emperor Hongzhi himself was an accomplished emperor, and as his younger brother, he could only do Bury your ambition deeply in your heart.
Of course, it is also possible that he himself is such a person, no one can tell.
However, history has undergone tremendous changes. The vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty went to sea to establish colonies overseas, established their own vassal states, and lived a carefree life.
This also affected Xing Wang Zhu Youqi. With the encouragement and support of his wife Jiang, Xing Wang Zhu Youqi also came overseas and established a vassal state - Daxing Kingdom.
It¡¯s just that King Xing came a little late. All the places near the Ming Dynasty had been occupied by others. Tianzhu and East Africa were full of vassal states and colonies. He couldn¡¯t get involved, so he finally came to West Africa.
??He grabbed a colony here in the Gulf of Guinea and established his own vassal state.
"Every good place is occupied by people. If you want to expand, you can only expand inland, or grab Spanish colonies."
King Xing looked at the area and fell into deep thought.
In the past, when he was an idle prince, he naturally did not have to worry about these things and could immerse himself in art and literature every day. However, when he came overseas and established a vassal state, he truly understood how difficult it was to govern a country.
Not to mention anything else, it is not easy to govern this small vassal state of our own. The current situation is that there is no money and no people. Even the infrastructure construction here in Xingguo is not available. Everything is very slow, and the palace of my own is still very simple.
¡°There¡¯s no money~¡±
"You can't be a hero for a penny. I didn't expect that a great Ming prince like me would now be worried about money."
¡°Building ports, building walls, and building cities all require money, but in order to go to sea, the palace¡¯s money has been used up. Where can we get the money?¡±
Xing Wang Zhu Youqian frowned and thought about where to get money. This vassal state is really not that easy to build. Don't look at the prosperity of Ning State, Tang State and others. Only when it is in your own hands will you know how difficult it is to be the leader.
"Father~"
At this time, a milky sound sounded, and a little kid walked in excitedly, followed by a maid and a woman wearing gorgeous clothes. 牺如 miaoshuyuan.com 牺如
"Hong'er!"
Hearing the sound and looking at his son who came over, King Xing immediately smiled from ear to ear. He quickly picked up his son Zhu Houcong and raised it happily. Si minus 75*z ho*ngwen.co*m* Si
"Haha, I've gained a lot of weight~"
King Xing liked his son very much.
His eldest son Zhu Houxi died young, and then the women in the palace gave him four daughters in a row. It was not until the fifth one that she gave birth to Zhu Houcong, who naturally loved him very much.
¡°And this Zhu Houcong has been very smart and studious since he was a child. No matter what he learns, he is very serious and learns quickly. This makes King Xing like him even more, and it hurts him so much.
After having a good time with his son, King Xingxing asked his maid to take Zhu Houcong out to play, but he and Princess Jiang were ready to discuss the matter.
"Is the prince worried about money again?"
Jiang is the daughter of a military general, but she is very virtuous. It can be seen at a glance that Wang Xing is worried about Daxing Kingdom, and the most important worry is naturally money.
Comebsp; "Building ports, building cities, cultivating fields, recruiting immigrants, etc., all of which are money. Now if you want to attract immigrants, you must not only give them land, but also match them with women. At least they must be white." Slave, one or two people are not very attractive. After all, it will take at least two to three hundred taels of silver to attract one person to immigrate to our country."
牺如 bxwxco.com 牺如。 King Xing worriedly counted with his fingers, and the more he counted, the better he got. worry.
When Xingguo was first established, what was needed most was not only money, but also population. Even with the care of the people in his fiefdom and his father-in-law, up to now, Xingguo's population is only just over 10,000, and this is still a waste of money. After paying a huge price and offering many good conditions, he managed to attract more than 10,000 people to follow him to West Africa.
"You men, you can't understand even one woman, yet you still need a few~"
Hearing King Xing's words, Mrs. Jiang also looked down upon him, but after thinking about it, she said: "It would be good to have a few more women. If you have more children, the population will increase in more than ten years. Otherwise, it will attract more people." No matter how much money it costs to immigrate here, it¡¯s better to buy more female slaves to give birth to children.¡±
"My dearest concubine, I think so too, so I have reached an agreement with some trading houses to purchase tens of thousands of female white slaves and distribute them to my people in Xingguo."
"Just don't let a few barbarians enter the palace when the time comes."
Jiang Shi rolled her eyes at Prince Xing and said calmly.
"How dare I? It's enough for me to have a concubine."
King Xing immediately smiled and said, There is no way, the princess of heaven and earth is the biggest.
"I'm thinking, things are very chaotic in West Africa now. The Koreans, Persians and Spanish are fighting, and the pirates are raging again. Can we take advantage of this opportunity to make a profit, or expand our Xingguo? After all, Xingguo is It¡¯s too small. If we don¡¯t seize the opportunity now, it will be difficult to expand when Fu¡¯er grows up.¡±
"What the prince said makes sense. I also think that our Xingguo is too small. If we have a bigger place, we won't be able to do anything. When it comes to Conner, other vassals will be very big and our Xingguo is very small. This won't work. .¡±
"But if we want to expand, we can only grab the Spanish territory."
"What's wrong with the Spaniards? We're still afraid of them."
"It's not a question of whether we are afraid or not, but we in Xingguo don't even have a few warships now, and we don't have many people. Spain has a strong army in West Africa, so it's not easy to mess with them. The Koreans lost their navy in the battle at Yanshan Port. Almost exhausted.¡±
"What's more, what are we going to rob? We have no money and no one."
"My lord, why don't you write a letter to the emperor? He is your brother and he has always taken great care of the clan, so he will definitely support him. It can be anything from a few million taels of silver to a few warships." It¡¯s not difficult.¡±
"I have thought about this too, but the emperor also has the same difficulties as the emperor. There are too many princes asking for money and things from him, and I don't want to cause any trouble to him."
"How old is the prince? He is still thinking about this. Other vassal princes will not think like this. They have all come out to establish vassal states, and they will all be separated from each other in the future. The Ming Dynasty is so powerful. If you don't do a better job in rejuvenating the country, what will happen? He is worthy of being the younger brother of the Emperor."
Mi He 75zhongwen.com Mi. "My concubine is right. I will write a letter back to the Ming Dynasty and ask the emperor for some money and things."
"That's right. We have no way to rejuvenate the country now, and everything is in vain. He, as the elder brother, must help anyway."
"Face is not worth much money. When we have money, guns, cannons and ships, we can rejuvenate the country and expand rapidly. If we miss the good opportunity now, we will have no chance in the future."
"I'm telling you, my father's money is all for his grandson, so you have to make progress."
"I know, I know~"
