Epilogue(1/2)
Cagliari beach, Sardinia.
The weather in September is not too hot, the temperature is not too high, but the sun is equally bright.
Sitting on the beach chair, Liu Mingqi was wearing shorts and a vest, basking in the sun lazily.
On the shallow not far away, several wives were playing with their younger children.
Older children want to go surf or fish outside in a boat.
There are also two well-behaved daughters who are standing on the grill not far away to make barbecue for everyone.
Looking back on my own experience, I have been in this world for twenty years in a blink of an eye.
I went from a sixteen-year-old boy to a thirty-six-year-old man.
Originally, I just wanted to be a stable prince, but I didn't expect to ascend to the supreme throne step by step.
But, as a modern person, how could he fall into clichés?
I swore that once I made some achievements, I would take my wife and children around the world, and Liu Mingqi finally did it.
After the New Year this year, Liu Mingqi led his super fleet to set off from Hangzhou Prefecture, and now inspected other provinces in Japan, and then inspected several Australian cities that had been successfully colonized for twelve years.
The fleet then bypassed the Strait of Malacca and entered the Indian Ocean.
He first stayed in Liu Mingjing's territory for a month and reunited with his brothers he hadn't seen for a long time. Then he rushed into the Red Sea and into the Mediterranean.
Of course, Europe will not be the territory of Dakang, but as the saying goes, cannons are the truth.
After passing through the three Royal First, Second and Third Fleets of the Royal First, Second and Third Fleets ravaged the European coasts ten years ago, and the Marines taught the European Union several times, they finally surrendered and completely recognized Dakang's hegemony.
Dakang thus occupied three large islands in Europe as military bases.
In addition to Sardinia, there is also Sicily, and more importantly Morocco, because through the Strait of Gibraltar in Morocco, the west side of the Mediterranean can be blocked.
The east side is simpler, and this area of Yemen was also occupied by Dakang and became an overseas colony.
With this blockade, Westerners cannot enter and exit the Mediterranean from the Red Sea.
This means that most of their sea routes have been blocked.
If we want to develop the navy again, only France and Great Britain have the ability.
As for the Iberian Peninsula, Liu Mingxin, the most famous conspirator of Dakang, was divided into two countries: Spain and Portugal. They were fighting to the death and could not develop any invincible navy.
As long as Europe does not develop, the planet will have no opponents as a whole.
Of course, Liu Mingqi's most important achievement lies in his creation of territory for Dakang on land.
Not only did he completely conquered the grassland barbarians and restored the territory of China, he also directly established a country in Eurasia that was even wider than the Yuan Dynasty. He continued to capture the Middle East desert to the east before stopping.
That's not all, the entire Nanyang has become the inland sea of Dakang.
The indigenous people on the Japanese Island have been killed for a long time, and most of the immigrants are the people of Dakang and the indigenous people of the Indochina Peninsula.
The Indochina Peninsula to the south also belongs to Dakang. The entire Kushan Kingdom was too complicated because the situation inside was too complicated. After discussion, Liu Mingqi simply accepted Liu Mingjing as the ruling king of that area. In the future, this place belongs to Liu Mingjing's descendants.
This can also be considered the reward from Liu Mingqi to this best brother.
In addition, Australia is of course very prosperous. The colonies in the Americas have begun to be built, and five million people have been moved.
Because of the development of the waterway and the development of steam engines, it only takes twenty-three days to go from Hangzhou in Dakang to Jinzhou Prefecture in the Americas.
The transit station in the middle, Hawaii, is of course also the garrison of the Fifth Fleet of the Dakang Navy, and is specifically responsible for surrounding security and force deterrence.
In the next thirty years, the court decided to immigrate 30 million people to the Americas.
After all, in the 16 years since Liu Mingqi succeeded to the throne, due to the good weather, sufficient food, and the improvement of various medical conditions, the population fertility wave has come one after another, and the total population of Dakang has exceeded 200 million.
It is foreseeable that in another twenty years, this population will double.
With so many population pressure, of course, they are allowed to go to new lands, which can consolidate the territory and relieve the pressure on the main continent.
But not only North America needs population, but South America, Australia, New Guang Province, the southernmost part of Africa... and other areas, if you fill in a population of one billion, it’s nothing.
Therefore, Dakang’s current national policy is to encourage childbirth and to encourage everyone to immigrate.
Anyway, through overseas trade and resource plunder, Dakang has some money and some capital and resources to promote immigration.
It is precisely because Dakang is now like the rising sun, with hope everywhere and things to be busy everywhere, so the prime minister and ministers are not in the mood to care about the emperor's nonsense.
But Liu Mingqi still had to keep three ten-year-old sons in the country, and were taken by their grandparents.
...
"Your Majesty~~"
A soft and greasy sound came, and then a soft body squeezed into Liu Mingqi's arms.
The familiar young lady's delicate face came into view.
Liu Mingqi's eyes looked down from above, and the young lady's undulating peaks were so tempting.
No one believed that she was already the mother of four children and was already forty-one years old.
After Zhu Pingchuan and Li Fan were killed one after another, Emperor Jing He, who had untied his heart, took the initiative to release Qiu Xiang.
So Liu Mingqi was able to be with the young lady happily.
Although she could not justify Qiu Xiang's consort, she had all the treatment she deserved. Her two sons and two daughters were both named princes and princesses.
In fact, Qiu Xiang doesn't care about these things at all. She has to take revenge and only likes to live with Liu Mingqi.
After his thoughts turned, Liu Mingqi lowered her head and made Miss Xiang feel good, then she reluctantly moved her mouth away, "Xiang'er, why don't you go to rest for a while? Didn't Xiuxiu ask you to rest more and take care of your baby?"
Ahem!
That's right, the young lady is pregnant again.
It's on this journey.
She was pregnant at the age of 41, which made her who had always been bold and quite shy, but seeing that Chen Xiaowei, who was as old as her, was also pregnant and Queen Su Xiaoxue, also got pregnant, she immediately became stable.
Liu Mingqi mentioned this and gave her husband a look, "It's not you... it's just like not being full all day long, and she always tormented others! She asked you to pick up a new concubine, but you don't want to do it. They are old, and you are still interested... Are you shy or not~~"
Liu Mingqi laughed and said, "If you are all my big babies, I have always liked you!"
After 16 years of succession to the throne, Liu Mingqi was really a concubine and never accepted her. The wives at home were the first of them.
Fortunately, he had enough sons, otherwise the ministers would have hurriedly asked him to take a few more concubines as soon as possible, Zhao Yi.
But because of this, both in the court and in the people, I admire Emperor Liu Mingqi very much and think that he is worthy of being the number one saint and wise ruler in the ages.
It is natural that the young lady came to find him.
After getting tired of her husband for a while, Qiu Xiang asked softly: "Your Majesty, I heard that you are going to seal all Yu'er, Chen'er, Yun'er... into North America and South America... are you?"
"right!"
Liu Mingqi said first: "What? They don't want to ask you to plead with me?"
Qiu Xiang has the most aura of martial arts, but she is the one that Liu Mingqi likes the most among all his wives.
What princes and princesses fear the most is Shuang Mother, the mother of the eldest son. As long as she glared at her, many people would be trembling with fear.
"No...it's just, my sisters think that if it's too far away, it won't be easy to see it in the future... It's a bit sad!" Qiu Xiang said in a delicate way.
"When children grow up, they always have their own career and family." Liu Mingqi said, "Let them go to North America and South America, the result of my discussion with the Prime Ministers... and then Su Xiaosong is in charge, and there is no trouble."
Now, because the jurisdiction is too large, Dakang has more than twenty prime ministers, and five of them are from first-rank prime ministers. Su Xiaosong, who is fifty years old, is one of them. He also went to America three years ago to serve in charge of the overall immigration and development of America.
He was accompanied by three deputy ministers.
The four prime ministers overseas all have their own responsibilities.
They usually serve for two terms for ten years, and then return to Dakang and retire after five years of employment.
No prime minister can be outside for more than two terms.
But when the prince went there, he basically settled his family and established a career there.
Their territory is not all regions, but several rich and geographically important areas in North and South America, and the rest are still Dakang.
This is actually a double guarantee.
On the one hand, they controlled the rich areas for Dakang and attracted the firepower of some natives for Dakang. Dakang could reduce the burden and continue to colonize deeper places.
"But what if they enfeoffed and their descendants fought each other in the future?" Qiu Xiang finally said the key point.
"According to this trend, at most, there is only a little dispute. It is unlikely that those who want to fight and kill are likely to be fighting and killing." Liu Mingqi hugged the young lady a little, "As long as the local birthplace of our Dakang remains strong and prosperous, then they dare not do anything. Tell me, according to the current enlightened, open and vigorous development of our Dakang, can those places have been able to compete for it?"
"Well...this is..."
Qiu Xiang thought about it and it was also a little bit of pink.
She raised her head with a smile, "I know, you want to follow the example of King Wu of Zhou and divide your sons into various places. In this way, even if the Zhou Dynasty weakens in the future, they will fight themselves, but the last piece of land still belongs to us Dakang people, and they are still our authentic inheritance!"
"right!"
Liu Mingqi couldn't help but smell her again, and then said enthusiastically: "Xiang'er, let's not talk about these boring things. You have been five months old. I still remember that we were all..."
"Phhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Qiu Xiang quickly covered his mouth and gave him a charming look, "Why are you such a bad guy, why aren't you a fool? So strange!"
To be continued...
