This time, Ajige and Fulin attacked each other, while the Tang kings in the south fought each other, and the war caused a large number of refugees.

After these refugees were resettled by the Han Dynasty, Liaoning outside the pass, Luzon Island in the South Ocean, and Xinmingzhou in the southern hemisphere were able to obtain a group of population.

These territory of the Han Dynasty will be consolidated. Zhao Ming does not need to spend a lot of effort and invest a lot of money and material resources in these colonies, and to give them to the powerful feudal tribes in the country. To be feudal, new colonies must be opened up.

In the past two years, the Dutch have been very honest in Nanyang and have not caused trouble.

This is because he was beaten up by Zhao Ming, and the second is because his struggle with the British failed.

Now the former maritime overlord has gradually declined and its power has begun to shrink.

At this time in Nanyang, the Dutch power contracted, and other Western forces had not yet entered, and the Han Dynasty became the overlord of this region.

In the next period, as long as Zhao Ming resolves the internal disputes of the Ming Dynasty, his expansion in the Nanyang region will be unstoppable, and there is no need to distribute this area to domestic forces and cause separatism.

However, for Zhao Ming, America, South Asia, Africa, and these regions are beyond the reach. If you don’t have the energy to take care of them in a short period of time, you can rely on the powerful forces in the country to develop and occupy them.

Anyway, Zhao Ming only needed an edict to enthrone these areas to the powerful and powerful clans, and then let them fight and build on their own. The Han government did not need to make much effort and could also divert domestic conflicts.

This matter was done. Zhao Ming had an extra vassal state and could collect more taxes. However, it did not make much loss for Zhao Ming. Instead, he took the opportunity to weaken the power of the domestic powerful and large clans, which was conducive to the stability of the empire.

Zhang Yida never thought that in just a moment, there were so many plans in Han Wang's mind.

I must have sighed that those who can be the king are indeed not simple, and I feel like IQ is crushed.

Zhao Ming nodded slightly: "Yes, it's Dongzhou! You should have heard of it from the Western Yi in Nanyang!"

Listening to Zhao Ming's narrative, Zhang Yida understood that the East China mentioned by Zhao Ming should be the Americas mentioned by the Spanish.

It is said that there is a large area and rich in silver. In the past, the Spaniards would bring in a few ships of silver every year, and it was a very wealthy place.

However, it is not as good as Xinmingzhou, and it has been occupied by Western barbarians.

This made Zhang Yida frown, because the Dutch on Xinmingzhou had been driven away by the Han army, and only natives were left on the land. He would not be threatened if he wanted to build a city in Xinmingzhou. He just transported the people over, then farmed, grazed, mining, and developed.

Since there is no external threat, investment will be rewarded, and you will make a profit without losing money, with extremely small risks.

Dongzhou is different. The Spanish and Portuguese have been there for more than a hundred years. When he went there to build a city, it was equivalent to robbing the territory of the Western barbarians. Isn’t that a tiger’s mouth pulling teeth?

In fact, today, not only the Spanish and Portuguese in the Americas, but also the British, French and Dutch, the situation is relatively complicated.

Zhang Yida could imagine that once he climbed to Dongzhou, he would wait not only for the indigenous bows and arrows, but also for the muskets and cannons of the Western Yi.

This is the risk. If he just established a stronghold, the Western barbarians would attack, and once he was defeated, all his investment would be wasted, and he himself might collapse and die.

When going to Dongzhou, you not only need to develop and expand your colonial work, but also have to be prepared to fight at all times. The environment is far worse than Xinmingzhou.

Zhao Ming decided to let Zhang Yida go to Dongzhou and have his own considerations.

The Americas have been developed by the Western Barbarians for a hundred years. If they do not take action, they will be difficult to gain a foothold here in the future. Therefore, Zhao Ming wanted to gain a foothold in the Americas before the Western Barbarians completely occupied the Americas.

The location in the Americas is too superior, and the east and west oceans must be divided to avoid forming a powerful country in the future.

Of course, Zhao Ming asked Zhang Yida to go, but in fact he didn't give much hope. He just made a move of idle chess and threw a stone to ask for directions.

After all, there are many barbarians around there, and with Zhang Yida's strength, the possibility of being beaten to death is far higher than the possibility of successfully gaining a foothold.

Seeing Zhang Yida's expression, Zhao Ming's face collapsed, "Why, do you regret it?"

Zhang Yida's forehead was sweating, and he had already said the big words just now. How dare he say half of the word "no"? Isn't it for the King of Han to have fun?

"I dare not!" Zhang Yida hurriedly saluted, but then asked again: "King, the East Province, Spain and Portugal have been entrenched for a hundred years. I am weak. Will the King send Han troops to?"

If the Han army was sent, why should we seal the establishment?

If Zhao Ming could send troops himself, it would naturally be directly occupied by the government, so why should he be granted to others?

It is because the Han government now has no energy to encourage the powerful to go.

After all, nowadays, the Han Dynasty is prosperous and the domestic gentry and wealthy families make money and withdraw a lot of money. Instead of letting them be extravagant and creating social conflicts, it is better to encourage them to spend their money on colonial development.

Zhao Ming smiled and said, "Now the Central Plains is in chaos, the Han army is going to pacify the world! But you don't have to worry. Although Gu will not send the Han army for the time being, you can buy weapons produced in the workshop!"

Zhang Yida, who was still excited just now, suddenly fell to the bottom of his heart, and always felt that he was so fooled.

Zhao Ming stood up, walked to a map of the world hanging in the study, pointed to a place on the west coast of East and West. He said excitedly, "Zhang Yida, the Lone King has conferred you as the guardian of Jinshan. This area is a hundred miles away, and it is your territory."

A piece of land that was not the territory of the Han Dynasty at all, so I asked someone to pay for it to expand the territory of the Han Dynasty. It was really cunning.

Zhang Yida smiled and said, "I am guarding Jinshan. Zhang Yida thanked the king for his reward. He will repay the king for his ten thousand deaths."

Zhao Ming nodded with satisfaction, walked back to the table and sat down, then waved his hand and said, "Okay, go back. I will let Li Cao contact you for the next matter."

Zhang Yida left the palace and was released directly, returned to the dock, and met with his subordinates.

Soon, an official from the Licao came and sent a bronze seal and two sets of official uniforms. He was very sloppy and conferred the title of Jinshan Guard.

This made the accompanying subordinates very excited. When Zhang Yida saw this, he did not explain that this Jinshan Guard was actually not a good thing, but forced a smile and told everyone that they had their own city and fiefdom.

After taking over Zhao Ming's appointment, Zhang Yida had no choice but to bite the bullet and do it.

At this moment, he shacked Zhong Yexian, returned to Xinmingzhou, transported all his family to Hangzhou, and then began to buy guns and warships, recruit private guards, hire Portuguese to navigate, prepare to cross the ocean and sail to the East.

For these reasons, Zhang Yida had basically used up all the money he had saved in the past few years.
