The seven years when Jiang Xia took charge of the Ming Dynasty were undoubtedly the most smooth and rapid development of the Ming Dynasty. The current situation in the Ming Dynasty, whether it is the lives of the people of the Ming Dynasty and the cultural popularity, has reached an unprecedented level since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, it can be generously labeled with the word "prosperity".

The surrounding area of ​​the Ming Dynasty, to the north are Tatars, and the Khan Alsoubut and Jiangxia are good friends, and the two countries have a friendship agreement for generations. To the west, Turpan has been destroyed by the Ming Dynasty, and Tumot has also opened border cities with the Ming Dynasty, and the two sides have had good friends. Therefore, there will be no war for the time being.

In the remaining south, there are basically no major powers with a climate. In recent years, Annan has shown signs of rising, but the king is Jiangxia's own son Li Nianjun, so he will not pose any threat to the Ming Dynasty. If the border defense is stable, the Ming Dynasty can basically be labeled as "Taiping".

Who doesn’t want the territory they governed by themselves to be a peaceful and prosperous era? If you can rule for a period of time and prosperity, then this ruling person will basically be considered to be dedicated. Not to mention that he has been famous throughout the ages, but at least he is qualified to leave his name in history.

However, if this situation is about Jiang Xia, he is not satisfied. Someone once said that the more people think about the future, the more worries they will be. If this is about Jiang Xia, it should be changed to that if a person knows about the future, the more things they want to change.

According to the original trajectory of history, Zhu Zaijiang's throne should be held by Zhu Houcan. After Zhu Houcan, he should be Emperor Muzong, then Emperor Shenzong, Guangzong, Xizong, and finally Emperor Sizong Zhu Youjian, who is Chongzhen.

The Ming Dynasty is now a prosperous scene because of the arrival of Jiangxia. If it develops according to the original trajectory, then the Ming Dynasty will gradually decline until the end of the Manchus entering the pass and gaining the world. As for what kind of humiliation will China experience in the end when Manchus takes charge of the world, I believe that anyone with some historical knowledge should know.

It is precisely because he knows all this that Jiang Xia will have concerns and the urge to change all this. He even considered whether to record everything he knows after his death, so that people in future generations will pay attention to those important historical choices and never make wrong choices.

Of course, these are all later stories. If you want to make everything happen in the future, the easiest way is naturally to lay a solid foundation now.

There is no threat to the Tatars and Yilibali. Even if something goes wrong, Jiang Xia will be confident. The defeated Ming Dynasty will definitely not be the Ming Dynasty. The only thing that makes Jiang Xia feel uneasy is the current era.

He knew that the current era was a great era of navigation. European powers such as Spain, the Netherlands, and Britain rose in this era. If the Ming Dynasty did not take advantage of this era to do something, then the subsequent development would be far behind these European powers.

In the past, when the Ming Dynasty implemented maritime ban, these European powers might not have noticed the Ming Dynasty too quickly. But now, the Ming Dynasty opened up overseas trade, and many of the Ming Dynasty's products were sold overseas. Coupled with the perfect trade regulations and the advanced economic system, Jiang Xia knew very well that the Ming Dynasty had already become a piece of fat in the eyes of many overseas powers.

They may not be able to understand the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, so they dare not act rashly. But it won’t take long to make a prosperous European power, and they may not be able to resist attacking the Ming Dynasty. The incident of the Eight-Nation Alliance entering Beijing that occurred in later generations may also happen in advance.

Everything is planned, and nothing is done. Jiangxia must prepare in advance for these things. In the past seven years, the power of the Ming Dynasty's navy has long been different from the past. In the Ming Dynasty, there are four major navy masters today.

One is the Tianjin Weihaiwei Navy commanded by Jiang Xun, the second is the Zhejiang Navy commanded by Ma Yunlong, the third is the Fujian Navy commanded by Yu Dayou, and the fourth is the Guangzhou Navy commanded by Yun Chaosheng.

The four major navy troops, together with nearly 600,000 naval troops, is undoubtedly a huge progress for the Ming Dynasty, which has not paid much attention to naval troops in the past.

However, this is the situation of the navy three years ago in the Ming Dynasty. In the past three years, the navy of the Ming Dynasty has basically reached a bottleneck. Because the sea line of the Ming Dynasty is so long, if the navy recruits too many, there will be no place to resettle. Secondly, it will only be a waste of military spending.

If you want to take the Ming Navy to go further, you will undoubtedly take over Japan. Expanding the Ming Dynasty's sea area control range is the best choice and the only choice.

In recent years, Jiang Xia had thought about taking action against Japan, but in the end it was not done. There are many reasons involved, one is the issue of justice, and the other is related to the role positioning of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty has been opening up customs trade for many years, and has always been standing on a fair, just and peace-loving role, maintaining the trading order of overseas countries in the Ming Dynasty. If you use troops to foreign countries for no reason, this will also be a big blow to the reputation of the Ming Dynasty.

However, now it was finally difficult, and finally when Japan took the initiative to provoke the Ming Dynasty. This gave Jiang Xia enough reason to use troops against Japan, so he was so excited that he immediately rushed to Fuzhou as soon as he received a letter from Yu Dayou. It can be said that he wanted to use troops against Japan more than Yu Dayou.

In twelve days, Jiang Xia finally arrived in Fuzhou. Jiang Xia did not notify Fujian or any officials from Fuzhou to greet him, but took the people directly to the Navy Admiral's Office in Fuzhou in a very low-key manner.

The Fujian Navy Admiral’s Office was the formerly Fuhai Fushiyao. Yu Dayou and Liang Jinghai petitioned Jiangxia on the streets of Fuzhou, so they were appreciated by Jiangxia. They directly served as the chief and deputy Fushiyao of Fushiyao for their fame and fame.

At that time, Jiang Xia promised Yu Dayou that if he could do it, he would not have any pirates or Japanese pirates in Fujian for less than five years, he would be appointed as the admiral of the Fujian Navy. As a result, Yu Dayou did not disappoint Jiang Xia's expectations. There were indeed no pirates or Japanese pirates in Fujian since then.

Later, Jiang Xia also fulfilled his promise and appointed Yu Dayou as the admiral of the Fujian Navy. God knows that Yu Dayou is not even thirty years old now. In the history of the Ming Dynasty, there is only Yu Dayou, except Jiang Xia.

When he arrived at the gate of the Admiral's yamen, a student from the martial arts lecture hall went up to hand over his identity plate to the guard at the door, and told him that the Lord Fuguo had arrived. The guard was shocked when he heard this. After looking at Jiang Xia with courage, he immediately bowed to him, and then ran into the yamen to report.

After a while, Yu Dayou, who was becoming more mature and steady, walked out with Liang Jinghai and others. After seeing Jiangxia, Yu Dayou and others knelt down and saluted, "See Lord Fuguo!"

Jiang Xia nodded and waved her hand and said, "Everyone gets up."

Yu Dayou and others stood up, Jiang Xia looked at Yu Dayou and smiled and said, "Let's go in and talk about what plans do you have to fight Japan."

When Yu Dayou heard this, he couldn't help but ask excitedly: "Want to fight?"

Jiang Xia nodded and said, "Yes, I want to fight."
