Chapter 1135(2/2)
I haven't been back home once in four years. My wife passed away or my son was seriously ill, so I went back to the mainland once.
The most rare thing is that despite holding huge power in his hands, he has never used his power to corrupt a copper brother.
He didn't even use his power to promote his own family members.
Looking at the Zheng family again, there are groups of dandies emerging one after another. There is even a fool like Zheng Mang who went to tease the Li family.
Who is Li Lin!
He is the only heir to the commander-in-chief, a person who is inferior to one person and more than ten thousand people in the Ming Empire.
He dared to flirt with such a prince.
Zheng Mang disappeared, and neither the Zheng family nor the people of Ming Dynasty gave up searching for his whereabouts.
Zheng Sen had long made up his mind that as soon as he found Zheng Mang, he would cut this idiot into thousands of pieces before he would be willing to do so.
"Brother!" Zheng Shimo didn't seem to see his eldest brother's livid face, but still pulled Zheng Sen's robe and asked.
"Idiot!" Zheng Sen cursed fiercely, turned around and walked towards the study.
Among the many younger brothers, only one, Tagawa Nanzaemon, was considered capable.
It's a pity that he is now locked up in the Tokugawa family prison.
Zheng Sen did not go to save him, nor did he dare to save him.
If Tagawa Nanzaemon wasn't his Zheng Sen's younger brother, I'm afraid his bones would be cold by now.
Sitting in the office all afternoon, Zheng Sen was thinking about how to arrange the future of the Zheng family.
The Ming Dynasty has become a huge empire, not only wiping out its fierce neighbors in the north.
Through last year's rebellion, it also took control of the southwest, which all previous Central Plains dynasties had been unable to control.
Nowadays, the cave masters and chiefs in Shiwan Mountain who have been doing their own thing for thousands of years have also surrendered to the officials sent by the Ming Dynasty and expressed their submission to the rule of the imperial court.
After thousands of years, the Ming Dynasty finally formed the traditional and non-traditional territories into a whole.
Southwest! Northwest, Western Region!
These are not the ancestral homes of the Han people, but they are now firmly controlled by the Ming Dynasty.
The settlement system effectively controlled the vast Western Regions.
Zheng Sen had to admire Li Xiao's ruthlessness. In the first year of conquering the Western Regions, he began to purge the Dzhunger Mongols.
Now, Jungar Mongols has completely become a place name.
But the Uer people are now as well-behaved as sheep.
Their children studied in a primary school run by the Ming Dynasty, where they learned Chinese characters and read Chinese.
I believe that it will not be long before the descendants of the Uer people will be assimilated by the profound and profound Han culture.
The Zheng family also had a hard time in the southeast. In the past, the Ming Dynasty's ability to rule the south was relatively poor.
This will allow the Zheng family to maintain a certain degree of influence on the southeast coast.
At that time, the situation was unstable, there were many domestic maladministrations, and Wu Sangui was causing trouble abroad, both overtly and covertly.
There are still Mongols raging in the northwest!
At that time, Li Xiao's hope for the Zheng family was not to rebel.
But now it has completely changed!
India has been divided into more than 70 countries, and has completely become the source of raw materials for the Ming Dynasty and the dumping ground for industrial finished products.
The pressure of foreign wars is not that great. With only more than 80,000 people, Ao Ye was able to kill the 450,000 Polish army.
The huge military industry and cutting-edge military technology make the Ming army increasingly difficult to defeat.
And Li Xiao's cunningness also surprised Zheng Sen!
Knowing that the future of sea control depends on air control, taking advantage of other countries not knowing the power of aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft, they have gone all out to sell warships.
Unfortunately, there are very few anti-aircraft guns on these warships.
A battleship with more than seventy cannons on its side did not even have a single anti-aircraft gun.
Cunning! Really cunning!
Even with his eyes closed, Zheng Sen could imagine how desperate those Hebrew sailors were in the face of the swarming planes.
Two Yangtze River bridges have been built on the Yangtze River, and the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge will be completed next year at the latest.
After the introduction of trains, railways are changing everything in the south at a rapid speed.
In Fujian, where ancestors have been farming and doing business for generations, smoking factories have also appeared. Many farmers have abandoned their hoes and entered factories to work as workers.
Zheng Sen clearly understood that Li Xiao's character would not allow the Zheng family to maintain a special status in the southeast for a long time.
And if things continue like this, the Zheng family will not have the strength to compete with the imperial court.
So what should the Zheng family do?
Where will the future of the Zheng family go?
Zheng Sen unfolded the map and looked at it carefully. From the Bohai Bay, he could see the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea, and even the South China Sea.
He found that almost all land had been flagged by the Ming Dynasty.
There is even a fleet that has cut through the waves towards the distant American continent.
I believe it won’t be long before the Ming Dynasty’s flag will be planted on the American continent.
There is really no, there is really no place left for the Zheng family.
What awaits the Zheng family is gradual decline, and eventually it becomes an extremely ordinary run-down settlement.
Although he is Li Xiao's disciple, Zheng Sen is increasingly confused about what this teacher is thinking.
I've obviously made a promise, but I'm not tempted by that location in the Forbidden City.
It was another person who could not wait to find someone to support him, and then he sat on the dragon chair openly.
But Li Xiao was unmoved, and even Zhang Huangyan, who strongly advocated Li Xiao's ascension to the throne, was deposed by Li Xiao.
It's a real dismissal, not a show-off.
Zhang Huangyan has completely left the center of power in the Ming Dynasty, and his influence on the political arena of the Ming Dynasty is minimal.
It was not until dark that an attendant came to report carefully: "Sir, the Hebrew banquet has been prepared.
Only adults can visit!
Rabin, the envoy of the State of Israel, has come personally to invite you to the banquet."
"Yeah!" Zheng Sen woke up from his reverie, and before he knew it, it was getting dark.
Zheng Sen shook his head helplessly. The Ming Dynasty has a promising future, but can the Zheng family really have no choice but to be lonely in its glory?
