Daming 1805

In February of the fifth year of Ankang, Zhu Jingyuan's appointment for the next stage was officially issued.

"Tongzhi of Johor Prefecture, Governor of Tiannan and Nanyang Region military and political affairs, and foreign affairs."

The scope of Johor Province includes Singapore, which is later, and Johor State, which belongs to Malaysia.

Johor is governed in the Lion City, and the Lion City is the Singapore of later generations.

Tiannan area includes later generations of Australia and New Zealand and surrounding islands.

The Nanyang region is basically the Southeast Asia region of later generations.

These areas are all located in the south of the center of the entire ruling area of ​​the Ming Dynasty today.

Military affairs, like the mainland, are all under the jurisdiction of the Chinese Army Dudufu.

After arriving in these areas, Zhu Jingyuan's work will focus on internal affairs.

But still have to continue to participate in foreign affairs.

Before the Spring Festival in the fifth year of Ankang, the affairs of Xintianfu were basically explained.

After the Spring Festival, Zhu Jingyuan's mind had already shifted.

In order to avoid suspicion, Zhu Jingyuan did not participate in the wedding organization of Shire and Liu Muyu.

Related matters were directly handed over to Liu Muyu's family, and they were handled completely according to the folk plan.

After receiving the notice, Zhu Jingyuan was about to leave Xintianfu and take office in Nanyang.

In Zhu Jingyuan's previous positions, there was no predecessor or successor, and the handover work was with the former subordinates.

He called people from all walks of life, said goodbye to them, and told them to continue to do their jobs well.

That night, Zhu Jingyuan went to Charlotte's room again to say goodbye to the Queen of America.

Charlotte has known for a long time that this day will eventually come, and also knows that it is impossible for her to be with Zhu Jingyuan forever.

Now that the matter is coming to an end, Charlotte is still unavoidably sad, and grabbed Zhu Jingyuan's arm with both hands and asked:
"Honey, can we meet again later?"

Zhu Jingyuan smiled and said comfortingly:
"Of course we can meet, my next task has been determined, and I will be in the Lion City for the next two years.

"If you want to see me, just go to Tianzhu in the name of visiting Tianzhu, and then go to Lion City in a private capacity.

"Besides, even if you go to see me in a private name, there's nothing wrong with that, right?"

Charlotte leaned on Zhu Jingyuan's chest:

"But, I want to stay by your side forever..."

Zhu Jingyuan patted the girl on the back:
"I understand what you mean, but the two of us are not ordinary people, and we can't be willful.

"You are the Queen of America, and you have to watch over and lead your people.

"Besides, if we are together all the time, sooner or later we will look at each other and hate each other.

"Like now, we've been together for so many days, you don't feel anything new, do you?

"I live separately most of the time, and then meet and stay apart from time to time, so that I can always maintain freshness and intimacy,"

Charlotte was basically persuaded by Zhu Jingyuan. At this moment, she raised her head to look at Zhu Jingyuan's face

"Then these few days, you have to spend more time with me..."

Zhu Jingyuan smiled and nodded:

"Good good..."

Zhu Jingyuan lived here in Charlotte for three days, and then the two formally said goodbye.

Charlotte packs her things and returns to America.

Zhu Jingyuan went to find his grandfather Zhu Zhongliang.

Zhu Jingyuan didn't open his mouth, Zhu Zhongliang knew what he was doing, so he took the initiative to say:

"You don't have to hurry, wait for me to clean up, let's go together..."

Zhu Jingyuan was stunned for a moment, and then immediately came to his senses:
"Are you going back to the capital?"

Zhu Zhongliang nodded lightly:
"That's right. I've been running outside for more than two years. It's time to go back and have a look."

Zhu Jingyuan had nothing to say, the old man wanted to go home and have a look, but he couldn't stop him.

Moreover, Zhu Zhongliang is already 70 years old. Although Zhu Jingyuan persuaded him to retire in Xintianfu, he also thought that such an arrangement seemed very good.

But at that time, he decided to come to Xintianfu largely because he wanted to be with his grandson.

I want to see Zhu Jingyuan come up with new things, and I want to experience the garden Zhu Jingyuan planned and built.

Now, he basically understands Zhu Jingyuan's vision, and has experienced the amusement park planned and built by Zhu Jingyuan.

The point is that Zhu Jingyuan is leaving Xintianfu now, so it is meaningless for the old man to live here by himself.

There is no child around, no matter how comfortable this new Tianfu is, it is boring to live in.

Zhu Jingyuan vaguely understood it in his heart, so now he directly agreed and did not try to persuade him to stay.

When you go back, let your family prepare to leave with Zhu Zhongliang's servants.

Aoxue will continue to follow Zhu Jingyuan to Lion City this time.

Aoxue came to report to Zhu Jingyuan at the end of last year, and has not left until now.

Because Aoxue is pregnant with a child.

Aoxue is already in her 20s, and she has already started to feel anxious, worrying that Zhu Jingyuan will lose interest in her.

Giving her a child is the best comfort.

Although Aoxue has a special background and her current status is also very strange, she is still Zhu Jingyuan's woman after all.

With Prince Daming's child in her stomach, it is impossible to take the child to work in Taixi.

Now that the smuggling channels in Taixi are fully established, they can continue to operate without Aoxue personally presiding over them.

So Aoxue was allowed to stay with Zhu Jingyuan.

At least let's talk after the baby is born.

Of course Wang Ya and Li Shuangni would also follow along.

Wang Ya is not the oldest, but she has the most mature personality, and is now the de facto director of Zhu Jingyuan's harem.

All aspects of things are handled in an orderly manner, and people from all aspects have a good impression of her.

In fact, Zhu Jingyuan was already thinking in his heart that if he couldn't find a woman who made him feel special in the future, he would directly let Wang Yalai be the queen of Shiguo and the prince concubine of Daming.

Wang Ya is also in charge and presiding over the move now, with Chunxiang assisting from the side.

From Xintianfu to Nanyang and Tiannan, compared to going from Dashi to Xintianfu, there are far fewer things to prepare.

The main reason is that you don’t need to bring the industrial system with you, you just need to bring your family to take office.

On March [-]th in the fifth year of Ankang, Zhu Jingyuan and Zhu Zhongliang boarded a specially prepared passenger ship and officially set off for Nanyang.

After sailing from Xintianfu, the fleet headed south all the way, passing through the southernmost peninsula of Nanyinzhou and entering the Daming Ocean.

Then it crossed the Daming Ocean and arrived at the Baiyun Islands in the Tiannan area in early April.

Baiyun Islands is Zhu Jingyuan's New Zealand in his previous life.

When Daming's exploration fleet came here, they found the scenery of blue sky and white clouds very pleasant.

So it was named Baiyun Islands, and later became Baiyun Huangzhuang.

The indigenous Maori of the Baiyun Islands, in Zhu Jingyuan's previous life, belonged to the Austronesian-Polynesian people.

It has a relatively close blood relationship with ethnic groups from Southeast Asia to Hawaii and most of the Pacific Islands.

They arrived at the Baiyun Islands around the Southern Song Dynasty and named the island "Aotearoa", which means the place where the white clouds flutter.

Therefore, the Baiyun Islands named by the Ming people coincided with the place names used by the local aborigines.

Because both sides get their names according to the local environment.

It's a pity that the Ming people in this world don't know when these natives arrived in the Baiyun Islands.

Otherwise they would not be considered Aboriginal.

After all, in Daming's customary cognition, the events of the last years of the Song Dynasty are not ancient at all...

Now they are regarded as natives, but they have also been fully enlightened.

Compared with the local aborigines, the level of civilization of Ming Dynasty was several eras ahead.

Whether it is force, culture or system, the local aborigines have no room for resistance and can only be completely assimilated.

The key point is that the image difference between South Islanders and Daming people is far less obvious than that between them and Taixi people.

As long as the aborigines accept the culture and living habits of Ming Dynasty, they can integrate into it.

At least it doesn't look particularly obtrusive at first glance.

Currently, the total population of the Baiyun Islands is less than 50, of which 40 are pure blood immigrants from Ming Dynasty.

There are only about 10 aborigines, and apart from the records on the household registration information, there are no traditional aboriginal characteristics at all.

Baiyun City, the capital of the Baiyun Islands, is located on the peninsula at the most northwest corner of the islands.

It is almost the location of Auckland, New Zealand's largest city in later generations.

The entire Baiyun Islands are on the Daming Ocean seismic belt, only Baiyun City in the far northwest corner is relatively calm.

While the fleet was replenishing here, Zhu Jingyuan and Zhu Zhongliang received the treasurer of Baiyun Huangzhuang.

This meeting was not just a pure reception, Zhu Jingyuan, as the trusted governor of the Tiannan region, directly used these few days to arrange the future tasks of Baiyun Huangzhuang on the spot.

Ask Baiyunhuangzhuang to learn from Xintianfu's plan and start implementing the general education examination certificate system.

In the follow-up, the passing certificate of the general education examination will be used as a pass to gradually eradicate the only remaining self-cognition of the indigenous people here.

In addition, how Huangzhuang operated in the past, it will be fine in the future.

The total area of ​​Baiyun Huangzhuang is 27 square kilometers, which is basically equivalent to the total area of ​​the entire South Zhili.

But there are only 50 people in total here.

The environment of Baiyun Huangzhuang is very good. As far as it is suitable for human life, the climate can also be said to be very good.

But there's not enough heat here.

The annual maximum temperature usually does not exceed 23 degrees, and only one season of grain can be grown each year, which is more suitable for pasture.

Moreover, there are many mountains and earthquakes in the interior, the plain area is not particularly wide, and there is no internal market.

So although the environment here is good, it is not attractive enough to Daming people.

After so many years, there are only 50 immigrants.

Now, apart from Baiyun City, which has a certain city size, the other areas are vast fields and forests.

Even farms and ranches are rare.

In such a place with vast land and few people, there will not be any major development in the future, and half of them will not have any major problems.

After being replenished in Baiyun City, the fleet continued to set off, heading north along the southeast coast of Tiannan Continent, and entering the Nanyang Islands area.

Zhu Jingyuan did not go to Tiannan Continent.

The origin of Tiannan's name is very simple. This land has reached the south of the sky, and the sun is on its north side, so it is called Tiannan.

There are few things in Baiyun Huangzhuang, and even fewer things in Tiannan Continent.

Although the Tiannan Continent is adjacent to the Nanyang Islands, the blood relationship between the aborigines of the Tiannan Continent and the natives of the Daming Ocean is very different.

Including the Baiyun Islands, the aborigines on the Daming Ocean islands gradually spread from the southeast of the mainland of China hundreds to a few years ago.

However, the natives of Tiannan Continent are from the previous era, they came here 6 to [-] years ago.

The people of Ming Dynasty in this world don't know when they came here, but they can tell by looking at their image that they are not their own people.

The natives of Tiannan Continent are Mo people.

Daming was able to assimilate the Nanyang islanders, but he couldn't assimilate the Mo people. The image gap between the two sides was too great.

According to the tradition left by Emperor Shizu, it is impossible for Daming to accept the Mo people.

According to Zhu Jingyuan's plan of recognizing ancestors and returning to their ancestors, there are less than 100 million indigenous Mo people in Tiannan Continent, who have been sent to Mozhou Continent one after another in the past few years.

Today's Tiannan Continent has a total area of ​​more than 700 million square kilometers, and only more than 500 million immigrants from the Ming Dynasty live there.

Tiannan is closer to the mainland of Ming Dynasty and has such a vast area, but the scale of immigration is not large.

The reason is also because it is not suitable for farming...

As the smallest continent in the world, the pattern of Tiannan Continent is completely opposite to that of Nanyin Continent.

The highest mountain range in Nanyinzhou is located on the westernmost edge of the continent, helping the entire continent to catch the water vapor from the eastern ocean, keeping the rainwater on the entire continent, making it the wettest continent in the world.
The main mountain range of the Tiannan Continent is located on the easternmost edge of the continent. The mountains block the water vapor at the edge of the continent. Only the bottom of the mountains leaves orographic rain. Most of the interior of the Tiannan Continent is dry desert.

Looking at the satellite cloud image, most of the Southern Yinzhou is green, while most of the Tiannan Continent is burnt yellow.

Without green plants continuing to grow and die, there is no sustainable accumulation of nutrients.

At the same time, Tiannan Continent itself is far away from the plate edge, the geological environment is too stable, and the surface soil layer is extremely old.

This means that the soil on the land surface will itself be very poor.

Before the large-scale application of chemical fertilizers, it is difficult to develop large-scale planting here, and it is only suitable for the development of limited animal husbandry.

Therefore, the immigrants of Ming Dynasty are not sensitive to this place.

Whether it is farming or grazing, North and South Yinzhou is the best choice.

Before the development and construction of Yinzhou entered a bottleneck, the Ming immigrants had very limited interest in other areas.

In the original history, Thais and Westerners also lacked interest in Australia.

It was Australia that discovered gold mines and accelerated the immigration of Thais and Westerners. It was only during World War II that the population of 700 million people was accumulated.

The Great Ming of this world does not allow private individuals to open mines on their own.

Mines found here can only be operated by the royal consortium, so private immigration will not be promoted on a large scale.

If it weren't for the imperial court to entrust the vassal kings here in the early days and continue to organize official immigration in order to control this continent, there would not even be 500 million people here now.

There are rivers and lakes where there are people, and there are few things in places where the land is sparsely populated.

At the same time, although Tiannan Continent is not suitable for farming, its area is really large enough. Immigrants here can get a lot of land, and the actual living standard of a small number of immigrants is actually not bad.

What's more, now that the aborigines have been cleared out, the people on Tiannan Continent are all Daming people.

The vassal state has also been completely abolished, and only the chief envoy is left in the political organization.

Except that the area of ​​the subordinate prefectures and counties is extremely large, but the population is extremely sparse, there is no difference from the mainland.

So there is nothing here that Zhu Jingyuan needs to pay special attention to.

That's why Zhu Jianyan arranged Zhu Jingyuan to live in Lion City.

The Lion City is the center of the Nanyang region, and the situation in the Nanyang region is much more complicated.

Zhu Jingyuan and Zhu Zhongliang's fleet traveled through the Nanyang Islands and arrived in Lion City on April [-].
