Chapter 1504
"If Li Shih-ming can be called the governor of Asia and the leader of the Eastern Hemisphere by later generations, then why can't my elder brother be even more powerful than him!"
"For example, the Eastern Hemisphere is the longest and the Earth's ruler, since the sun and moon are in conjunction, and everything that the sun and moon shine on is part of the Ming land!"
After listening to Wei Wu's words, Zhu Biao, the protagonist, was somewhat moved, but remained relatively calm.
But Zhu Yuanzhang was different. As soon as Wei Wu finished speaking, he excitedly ran forward and snatched the globe away.
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was so excited that his body was trembling, Wei Wu was about to tell him to calm down, but Zhu Yuanzhang spoke first.
"Xiao Wu, your vision is too narrow. What do you mean by 'Eastern Hemisphere Governor'? I, Biao'er, want to be the Governor of the Earth, and the whole world will belong to me!"
"Wherever the sun and moon shine, that is the land of the Ming Dynasty. Those nomadic barbarians from the grasslands occupied the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun of our Central Plains Dynasty, and it was we who recovered them."
"Now that these barbarians have seized our Great Ming's overseas territories, someone should reclaim the lost land. That person is Biao'er!"
Wei Wu never expected that just by expressing an idea, Old Zhu would take it as a goal.
To be honest, although Wei Wu also wanted to do as Zhu Yuanzhang said, he knew even better that it was unrealistic and impossible to do.
Unless the Ming army goes out and slaughters wherever they go, leaving no Westerners alive.
Otherwise, as long as there is oppression, there will be resistance. Even though the Ming Dynasty is currently invincible, it is impossible for a single country to annihilate the entire world.
Just as Wei Wu was thinking to himself, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked a question.
"Xiao Wu, of the seven continents and four oceans you mentioned, which place is the most barren and impoverished, yet has a vast territory?"
"Um... the most barren and desolate yet extremely vast place? That must be Antarctica."
As Wei Wu spoke, he pointed to the white section at the bottom of the globe and continued:
"Ninety-nine percent of the land here is covered by ice sheets. There are no forests, farmlands, or lakes, and freshwater exists only in the form of solid ice."
"Alright, once our Great Ming Dynasty conquers overseas, we'll dump all those traitors in Antarctica!"
Upon hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Wei Wu was at a loss for words. This decision was even more terrifying than that of the King of Hell!
“Uncle Zhu, that place is not a place where humans can live. Anyone thrown there will die.”
"How they survive is their problem; what we need to do is send them there!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's words were incredibly domineering, but Wei Wu could only respond with a helpless expression:
"Uncle Zhu, even if you wanted to do that, we don't have the ability. We simply can't go to that place!"
"Steam engines simply cannot work in that kind of place; you can only rely on sails or manpower, but the sea around there is full of floating ice."
“Our large ships can’t even get close to that area. Forcing our way in would only result in the destruction of the ship and loss of life. There’s really no need for that.”
"Moreover, even if we took over the entire Earth, we wouldn't be able to manage it. As the saying goes, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush."
Upon hearing Wei Wu's words, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly and said:
"Even if the meat rots, it's still rotten in the pot. As long as we take over those areas, they will belong to our Chinese land in the future!"
Upon hearing this, Wei Wu understood that Zhu Yuanzhang did not actually intend to incorporate those areas into the Ming Dynasty's territory.
No, it should be said that if he could take it, he would still take it, but if he couldn't, he would still leave his mark.
As for the reason, Wei Wu had a rough idea, so he asked directly:
"Uncle Zhu, are you trying to create a 'since ancient times'?"
Not entirely right, but not entirely wrong either!
As soon as Wei Wu uttered these words, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately smiled and nodded in response, then continued:
“I remember you once said that in the future there would be some United Nations, which would form an alliance of more than two hundred countries on Earth.”
