My Daming New Empire

Therefore, although the development of Dongzhou is uneven, with the support of Zhongzhou, it still has a strong strength.

And through economic control and technological leadership, Central Continent will not have to worry about Dong Continent becoming a hidden danger for a long period of time.

Just when Zhu Jianshen was about to return to Central Continent, the technical team sent by the imperial court to Dongzhou came to Tangzhou City. They brought more than 1000 radio stations, so that every royal and government office in Dongzhou could also receive orders from the center directly.

The appearance of the wireless telegraph machine can transmit the orders of the imperial court immediately, and the opening of the radio station allows the army and the people of Dongzhou to understand the every move of the center.

Under such circumstances, there is no need to worry about anyone who can deceive the upper and lower in the middle and bring the people to rebel.

Zhu Jianshen, who is a grandson, is happy to hear this.

He tried to communicate with the imperial grandfather in the palace, and then received Zhu Zhanji's order not to return directly to Central Continent from Daming Ocean, but to cross the Atlantic Ocean, go to Xizhou, and then return to Central Continent from Xizhou through Nanyang.

Of course, this is not the main thing. The main thing is to let him go to Xizhou to exert pressure on Jinwangfu and Hanwangfu so that they can successfully complete the relocation according to the imperial court's wishes.

Only then did Zhu Jianshen realize that his worries had long been part of the imperial grandfather's plan. In order to allow him to control the overall situation smoothly, the imperial grandfather had already decided to attack the palaces of Prince Han and Prince Jin, which were too big to shake off.

At the same time, the Dongzhou Fleet also received Zhu Zhanji's order, and Yang Dao sent a fleet of ten warships to escort Zhu Jianshen to Xizhou.

Zhu Zhanji's fleet originally had 6000 people and [-] ships, but now it has more than [-] troops, [-] first-class warships, and two flagships.

After crossing the southernmost corner of the southern continent of Dongzhou, this huge fleet followed the counterclockwise South Atlantic Ocean Current and arrived at Jinzhou City at the southernmost corner of Xizhou after sailing for more than a month.

But at this time, under the pressing force of Xie Yun, the Jin Palace and the Han Palace had retreated and lost ground.

In Xizhou, Jinwang Mansion and Hanwang Mansion should also be treated as two parts, instead of simply being regarded as an interest group.

In fact, in many respects, the powerful Han Palace has been oppressing the Jin Palace.

Take the slave trade as an example. At the beginning of the division of forces, the Han Palace was in charge of eliminating the Kunlun slaves on the east coast, while the Jin Palace was in charge of the west coast.

However, the sphere of influence of King Han's Mansion is getting bigger and bigger, occupying the central Xizhou, and the sphere of influence has extended to the west coast.

In the Songhai Kingdom (Nigeria) on the west coast, there is the most populous area of ​​Kunlun slaves. In order to snatch the Kunlun slaves in this area, there were many conflicts between the two palaces, and even several lawsuits were brought to Zhu Zhanji here.

Compared with the Hanwang Palace, Jinwang Mansion has a farther blood relationship with the royal family.

Zhu Jixi, the second king of Jin, and Zhu Meigui, the third king of Jin, were imprisoned by Zhu Jixi for several years. Both father and son were timid and fearful.

The reason why they were able to develop in Xizhou was actually mainly due to the Li family of Cao Guogong's mansion.

When it came to the fourth generation Jin Wang Zhu Zhongxuan, although he was stronger than his father and grandfather, the weakness of the Jin Palace was not something he could change all at once.

Facing the aggressive Han Palace, most of the time he still chooses to calm down.

Each royal residence is different, and all the children of nobles have to grow up and receive education in Zhongzhou, but the vassal king can only stay in the fiefdom, and can only enter the capital after receiving the imperial edict.

Zhu Zhongxuan grew up in Xizhou since he was a child. He has only been to Beijing twice and met Zhu Zhanji twice. He is not familiar with Zhu Zhanji, let alone the character of this uncle.

The alienation of the feudal prince's mansion and the center was intentional by the royal family, so that they could not collude with officials and become a hidden danger.

But this also makes many vassal kings often become timid and fearful because they can't clearly understand the style of the royal family. Zhu Zhongxuan is a typical example.

In the past, when facing Hanwangfu, he chose to give in, and more often he pushed the Li family to fight Hanwangfu.

But this time, it seemed that the imperial court was going to attack Jinwangfu and Hanwangfu, which made him a little panicky all day long.

When Zhu Jianshen came, he hugged Zhu Jianshen's thigh tightly as if he had caught a life-saving straw.

As far as Zhu Jianshen was concerned, he did not expect that Prince Jin's Mansion would behave in such a way. When he came to Xizhou, he was not only confessed by the emperor's uncle, but also obeyed him.

It seemed that he didn't need to care about the threat that was originally in his heart.

After understanding what Yun was doing in Xizhou, he had a clearer understanding of the situation in Xizhou, and he also appreciated this official even more.

Zhu Jianshen stayed in Jinzhou Prefecture for less than ten days before setting off by land for the Golden City.

And in the Golden City, Xie Yun, who had been away for more than a year, was also waiting for Zhu Jianshen's arrival to completely solve the Xizhou problem.

At the beginning, he took the problems of Hanwangfu and Jinwangfu two seriously, thinking that solving their hidden dangers might take a lot of thought.

But when he really came to Xizhou and saw the actual situation here, he had already eliminated the threat of Jinwangfu, leaving only Hanwangfu and his family.

Not to mention anything else, let's just talk about the southern corner of Xizhou and the southwest area occupied by Jinwangfu. As long as the Golden City army is dispatched, plus the navy is dispatched, Jinwangfu will have nowhere to escape.

But Hanwang Mansion is different. They not only occupy the east coast, but also occupy the west coast. Their territory covers more than 400 million square kilometers. Only tens of thousands of soldiers can't make them completely surrender.

Therefore, the Han Palace is still relatively tough today, and has never bowed to him.

But the Palace of Han didn't know that they took great pains to attract seven palaces from Nanzhou, and wanted to make them their allies with the benefit of joint mining, which was actually in the hands of Xie Yun.

Xie Yun had been waiting for a good opportunity, and Zhu Jianshen's arrival was such a good opportunity.

"Your Highness, the current situation in Xizhou is mainly these. Now everything is easy to talk about in the Prince Jin Mansion. The area they actually control is only the southern corner of Xizhou. In most other areas, the orders of the King Jin Mansion are not as effective as Cao Guogong's Mansion, let alone the imperial government. .

But the Han Palace is different. Their current private soldiers far exceed the court's permission. Although most of the soldiers are not registered, as long as we do a household registration check, the power of the Han Palace can be greatly weakened. "

After listening to Xie Yun's introduction of all the situation, Zhu Jianshen expressed his thanks to Xie Yun, "Then, how should the King of Han deal with other palaces when he wins over them? The first emperor's name should not be ruined by them."

Xie Yun smiled and said: "Your Highness does not know, behind this incident, there is our power, otherwise, how can the Han Palace directly contact the major palaces in Nanzhou. For the Han Palace, their purpose is to They tried their best to win over the palace to become their support. However, His Majesty didn't want to weaken the strength of the palace, but just wanted to weaken the strength of the palace of Han.

There are only two palaces in Xizhou, but there are fifteen in the mainland of Nanzhou. The gap is too great.Now they have wooed Ning Wangfu and other seven palaces, thinking it was a helping hand, but according to His Majesty's intention, they just moved Ning Wangfu and his family to Xizhou to compete with Hanwangfu. "

"Has the emperor made sure to let those families move over?"

"It wasn't confirmed before, but now, since King Ning and the others like to come to Xizhou to open mines so much, let them come here. There are only eight Prince's Mansions in Nanzhou, so that Xizhou will become nine. It can better balance the power of each family."

Zhu Jianshen bowed and said: "Since the bachelor has a comprehensive plan, Gu will naturally be dispatched by the bachelor. What to do, Gu will listen to the bachelor."

When Xie Yun looked at the second assistant Peng beside him, the two of them glanced at each other and both smiled, but Xie Yun couldn't help but sighed in his heart.

Zhu Jianshen said this in front of Peng Shi, although he showed that he valued himself, but it caused a rift between the two bachelors, or a competition.

This is not what Xie Yun would like to see. After all, their Xie family started from their ancestors. The first rule of their ancestors is to be loyal to the king and not to participate in the succession struggle.

Zhu Jianshen thought he was helping him, but in fact, he was just following His Majesty's orders.

At this time, he clasped his fists to Peng Shi and said, "What's the best strategy, Mr. Cifu?"

Peng Shi said with a smile: "The old minister thinks that His Royal Highness finally came to Xizhou, and the matter of dealing with the Han Palace can be postponed a little bit, but the most important thing is to meet the meritorious soldiers, and then make an appearance in front of the elite soldiers and strong generals of the Golden City. .”

Xie Yun quickly said: "That's right... Later, the governor of the Golden City, Sunan, will come to visit His Highness, so it's good to hear his arrangements."

Zhu Jianshen said: "This Golden City has been famous for a long time, it's rare to come here, not only the soldiers of the army should see it, but also the miners here."

Peng Shi shook his head and said, "Your Highness, don't forget, the miners here are not from Dongzhou, they are mainly Sinicized aborigines, and here are all eunuch Kunlun slaves as miners!"

Zhu Jianshen blushed, knowing that he wanted to show off, but he was a little impatient.Originally, he also knew that most of the mines here were Kunlun slaves, but now he forgot all of a sudden.
