738 A small goal
At this time, in the Ming Dynasty, after a long period of exploration, Zhang Mingwei had already mastered a lot of experience in the treatment of rubber vulcanization.
So he suggested to Emperor Chongzhen that some of the rubber trees planted in the south in the past few years would probably have rubber to harvest next year, so that the raw materials would be available. Rubber factories can be created in the south in advance and supporting infrastructure construction will be carried out to prepare for large-scale rubber production next year.
Of course, Emperor Chongzhen had no objection to this and immediately agreed.
But what he was most concerned about was the invention of smokeless gunpowder, that is, white gunpowder.
Of course, Zhang Mingwei could understand Emperor Chongzhen's concern, so he also replied: "It is estimated that in about a month, you will be able to get white powder in the laboratory. The relevant processes are already very clear. However, if you want to mass-produce white powder, that is, to mass-produce white powder, some steps still need time to consider. After all, there are actually big differences between laboratory and industrial production!"
The power of white gunpowder is three times that of black gunpowder, and it will not leave residue after burning. Once white gunpowder can be produced in large quantities, the military industry of the Ming Dynasty will really have epoch-making changes.
After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen said that although he was eager to see the large-scale application of white gunpowder, he knew that he could not eat hot tofu in an anxious way, so he had to suppress his anxious thoughts.
At this time, the good news from the Liaodong Governor Zuo Yingxuan and Guangdong Governor Zhang Liangzhe arrived at the capital almost at the same time.
On a world map hanging on the screen of Wenhua Hall, Emperor Chongzhen immediately asked Wang Chengen to mark the two places in red, and then asked Zhang Mingwei with a smile: "Sir, how?"
Zhang Mingwei looked at this world map, especially in Asia, and was almost entirely influenced by the Ming Dynasty.
In the south, there are relatively large countries such as Nanzhang, Siam, Zhenla and Dongwu. Of course, there are also some indigenous countries in Nanyang.
For these countries, except Togo, the plans of other countries, like Nanyang, become dumping places for Ming Dynasty goods rather than occupying direct jurisdictions.
As for the current situation, if the Annan remnants of the army entered the Nanzhang, it would inevitably have an impact on the Nanzhang. As for the Nanzhang who ended up destroying the Annan remnants of the army, or the Nanzhang king came to ask for help from the Ming Dynasty, these things would not be particularly concerned about, just wait for the situation to develop further.
Thinking of this, Zhang Mingwei smiled and pointed to Dongwu's place, and replied to Emperor Chongzhen: "Now the court is using troops in the south, it will almost destroy the remnants of the Dongyu Dynasty. According to time estimates, the navy led by Zheng Chenggong should be almost at the Dongwu coastline. At that time, the north and south attacks, and our Ming Dynasty will have an outlet to the Indian Ocean!"
Speaking of this, he raised his hand and pointed to the map and continued: "After eliminating the Tsarist Russian colonists in the Far East, the north of our Ming Dynasty was the Mongolian in the north. For them, His Majesty could send people to contact them and ask them to surrender to the Ming Dynasty and belong to the Ming Dynasty. As a condition, they could promise that their leader would be the title of the prefect of the Mobei Province, and the court would not actually participate in the jurisdiction for the time being."
After a pause, Zhang Mingwei added: "That place is too barren, with developed transportation and technological development. Before the imperial court had only made efforts there, and it was not worth it. Now it has become the Ming Dynasty's direct jurisdiction."
Emperor Chongzhen was not convinced by others about the global strategy of the Ming Dynasty, so he only obeyed Zhang Mingwei. After hearing what he said, he nodded immediately, but did not speak, and continued to listen to Zhang Mingwei's story.
"After the northern Mongolians of the Mobei also surrender, the court can establish Mongolian province to govern the entire northern grassland. The provincial capital is located in Guihua City, and it will connect east, west, south and north through railways." Zhang Mingwei said this, and after thinking about it, his fingers fell and pointed to the Australian continent that no one knew at that time, and said, "Northeast is now full of the sphere of influence of our Ming Dynasty. Such a large Australian continent can be used to enfeoff vassal kings. If someone goes over, he can slowly transform the other side."
After saying that, Zhang Mingwei slid his hand up and down, and said to Emperor Chongzhen with a smile: "In this way, all the territory around our Ming Dynasty will be laid out and we can turn our attention to the West."
No one spoke, just stared at the map and listened to Duke Xingguo talking.
In the past, they would never have thought that the territory of the Ming Dynasty would become like this now. Even if it were Qin Emperors and Han Wu, strong Han and prosperous Tang dynasties, there would probably be no such map.
The reason is that the territory is too wide and the court cannot control such a large territory at all.
However, it is different now. Duke Xingguo invented the train, and traveling thousands of miles a day is no longer a dream; he even invented the telephone so that the court could grasp the things far away in the sky at the first time.

In this way, the long distance of the territory is no longer a restriction. As long as the Ming Dynasty wants, it can be the Ming Dynasty’s place!
At this time, Zhang Mingwei was so excited that he walked to the front of the screen, slapped the Western Regions with his hand and said, "This place was the place of my Central Plains dynasty in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. There is no reason why we can do the place where the prosperous Tang Dynasty could do in the past. Therefore, we must take it down and become the direct jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty. When the train was repaired, it would be easier to transport troops and materials than in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and it would be easier to control the place."
"Sir, are there any good things here?" Emperor Chongzhen immediately asked what he was most concerned about.
When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Of course there is, and the climate here is not as good as that in Mobei. It is suitable for human habitation, and the cost of garrison is also very low. So..."
After a pause, he looked at the Minister of War, the Chief Cabinet Auxiliary, and then looked at Emperor Chongzhen and suggested: "I think it should be possible to do the early things. The Jinyiwei sent secret spies to these areas, and the army also had to gather on the border and carry out targeted training. As long as you have the opportunity, take action immediately, take down this place, push the territory of the Ming Dynasty westward a lot!"
The place Zhang Mingwei refers to Tibet and Xinjiang.
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he waved his hand a little proudly and said, "Okay, just do as the teacher says, set a small goal first and take down these two places..."
Speaking of this, he became interested, stood up and walked to the screen, slapped Europe with his hand and said, "I am less than forty years old. In my lifetime, my biggest goal is to occupy this place!"
Nowadays, only the European countries on this earth are relatively strong. As long as they defeat the European countries and occupy the place, the Ming Dynasty will have no opponents, belonging to Dugu Qiubai, and Emperor Chongzhen became the first ball captain since ancient times.
Emperor Chongzhen was thirty-nine years old at this time and was at his forty next year.
He just focused on working and had no bad habits. Now that he is at work, his work is going smoothly and he has no troubles. He only disturbs others, and such work will not reduce his life.
Therefore, if there were no accidents, it would be no problem for Emperor Chongzhen to live to be in his sixties.
In more than twenty years, it is obvious that it is very likely to push the Ming army to Europe and destroy the European countries there.
At this time, when he heard Emperor Chongzhen's bold words and ambitions, Du Yinxi and others were also excited and immediately saluted to Emperor Chongzhen: "Long live my emperor, long live my life, long live my life!"
If the Ming Dynasty could create such an era, then these ministers would have been famous in history, and would have been far superior to those of the wise ministers and capable officials of the previous dynasties!
Of course, whether it was Emperor Chongzhen, Du Yinxi and others, they all knew that the reason why they had all this was because of one person.
Therefore, they almost looked at Zhang Mingwei at the same time, with a sincere smile on their faces.
At this time, a small goal was set, and the cabinet took the lead and began to get busy with this small goal. As for other things, they didn't even discuss it in detail.
This matter is naturally to destroy the remnants of the Dongwu Dongyu Dynasty.
Just as Zhang Mingwei and his friends were discussing small goals, Zheng Chenggong had already led the navy to Dongwu's Indian Ocean coastline.
"Sir, please see, Shalian is on the inside of the coastline in front!" The guide introduced to Zheng Chenggong diligently, "The Portuguese established the Shalian Kingdom here, and was eventually destroyed by Anabilon, the king of Cave.
The most famous one in the coastal area of Dongwu is this Shalian, the reason is just as the guide said.
The Portuguese Philip de Brito Nickett was a farmer in Lisbon. He had some skills and rose up in his colonial career. He led fifty people to become a mercenary of the king of Arakan, Minyesori. He was named Shalling as governor for his military achievements.
However, Philip had great ambitions and sought help from his country when he tried to establish his own kingdom in Shahill.
However, Portugal is a small country with many colonies overseas and many colonies have crises, which require human support. Shalian's side is insignificant for many colonies in Portugal, so naturally there is no reinforcements.
Under such circumstances, Philip also defeated King Alagan's two attacks, and defeated King Alagan with a big victory of less and more.
Therefore, Philip became famous immediately, and Shallian became a very famous place.
However, in the end, Philip offended Anapilon of the Toho Dynasty and led 100,000 troops from Ava to surround Shalian. After three months, he finally destroyed Philip.
The guide introduced these past events to Zheng Chenggong, and finally said with a smile: "This area is very prosperous, and Dongyu is not far from the north, which is the rise of Dongwu's rebels today."
Of course, Zheng Chenggong did his homework in advance. Now, after hearing the guide's introduction, he felt that it would be good to take Shalian into the southern base. So he sent the order and prepared to attack Shalian.
