I'm a big dick

Chapter 547
Hong Xu, Gan Hui, and even Zheng Zhilong's brothers Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhibao are all in the navy, but their official positions are not high.Of course, they are still young and have room to grow.

And now the Ming Navy has hired Portuguese instructors to build Western-style warships and purchase new artillery in the past few years.Not only does it have a numerical advantage in the near sea, but it also has a certain combat power in the far sea.

Although such a scale is still far from the emperor's requirements, the separation of sea and land still needs to be implemented.

The emperor made a decision, and Sun Chengzong didn't understand it, but he didn't have much objection.

For the conquest of the sea, for the powerful navy, the emperor has a far-reaching vision and is more eager than anyone else.

Overseas, even if it is just the East China Sea and South China Sea, there are huge and immeasurable wealth.

In a world where the jungle is prey to the strong, whoever grabs it will own it.Ming Dynasty dominates Asia, how can it be limited to this continent?
"Long live, the Southwest has increased its troops again, and the finances may not be loose." Sun Chengzong bowed and said: "East Liaodong is pacified, and the rebels in extravagance are also lingering. It is a time of peace and prosperity for the country and the people. It seems that the strengthening of military equipment may be delayed."

The emperor shook his head, but didn't tell Mr. Sun that he wanted to "remove the military with poor soldiers" and was going to take the initiative to attack the Toungoo Dynasty in the southwest.

"Through the mobilization of soldiers in the northern border town, the combat power can be improved, and the defense line is basically stable. But the southwest is very weak. Jinhuayin should be transferred to the southwest, focusing on state affairs." The emperor opened his mouth slowly, but did not reveal final plan.

This year's gold flowers and silver are gone. The emperor has already realized this. The so-called loose finances can't stop his plan.

What's more, Mu Qiyuan's death created such a good opportunity, how could he let it go?

As for the strength of the Taungoo Dynasty in Myanmar, the emperor didn't pay much attention to it.

Think about the Southern Ming Dynasty in history, Jin Wang Li Dingguo led thousands of remnant soldiers to attack the city of Awa. It can be seen that the Toungoo Dynasty could not escape the law of cycles, and it was turning from prosperity to decline.

The only scruples are the complex tropical and subtropical jungle environment and the frightening miasma at that time.

On the other hand, recruiting troops and expanding armaments in the southwest adapted to the environment to the greatest extent.As for miasma, the emperor also had a way to deal with it.

Although toilet water, mosquito coils, mosquito nets, tea leaves, and even Qingsong could not be completely controlled, they also minimized the threat of miasma to the Ming army.

The emperor didn't even want gold flowers and silver, and he didn't want it for several years. What else could Sun Chengzong say?

"It's just an investment now, and the return in the future will be ten times, a hundred times, tens of millions of times." The emperor smiled self-consciously, as if comforting himself, with helplessness in his smile.

Material reserves to survive the catastrophe, investment in the reconstruction of Liaodong, reinforcement of the army and navy... Expenditures are all essential and very important.

Many people may think that after Ping Liao, finances can be loosened all at once.Just like what Sun Chengzong said, the country is prosperous and the people are safe, and the world is peaceful and prosperous, but what the emperor wants is prosperity and dominance.

Only by forging ahead through tempering can the Ming Empire prosper forever.And the long-term peace is like a corrosive agent, and the damage caused to the empire is often not easy to detect.

The Ming Empire is not the emperor's goal, but a strong Ming is his ideal.

The emperor stood up, walked to the side of the hall, and looked out through the frosted glass window, as if seeing thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, his eyes narrowed slightly.
