Daming: I really don’t want to be an emperor!

All the princes set off with their families and were sent to their fiefdoms on warships.

At the same time, their 800-strong prince's guards and part of the troops stationed locally were mobilized for them.

The princes who could have lived a leisurely life of eating, drinking and having fun were all captured and used as slaves for free, and countless government affairs piled up.

The fiefdoms varied in size, and the amount of things to be handled varied.

The Ministry of Personnel, together with the Cabinet, began to plan provinces in these newly conquered territories, establish administrative systems, and then arrange officials to take up their posts.

At the same time, Zhu Yunhuan also left a warship for all the princes in case of any emergency.

At the same time, it was also their main means of transportation to return to Beijing to pay tribute.

Don't think that you don't need to pay tribute when you go overseas.

Zhu Di set foot on the unfamiliar land of England with curiosity and expectation. When he looked around, he immediately noticed that the scenery and atmosphere here were completely different from those of the Ming Dynasty.

Just as Zhu Di was immersed in observing this foreign land, a spy hurried over to report important news to him.

"Your Highness, I have found out something shocking. There is actually an institution of learning here, called a university!" Zhu Di couldn't help but widen his eyes at the spy's words.

"What? You said there is a university here?" Zhu Di asked in disbelief, his voice full of surprise.

The spy nodded vigorously and answered affirmatively, "Your Highness, that is true. I heard that this university is called Oxford University. It is said to have been built for more than 200 years. It has existed since the Song Dynasty of our dynasty."

Hearing this, Zhu Di was so shocked that he stood there in shock. After a while, he came to his senses and muttered to himself.

"Oh my god, I never expected this! My nephew founded various schools, which led to the name of such and such university. I thought this move would make our Ming Dynasty ahead of other countries in the world, but I never expected that this barbarian land overseas could establish a university earlier than our Ming Dynasty!"

For a moment, Zhu Di felt mixed emotions. He was astonished at the advanced status of England, but also felt unwilling to be surpassed by his own advantages.

He was well aware of the importance of education to national development, and the historic Oxford University undoubtedly demonstrated England's leading position in thought and culture.

Although its military power may not yet be able to compete with that of the Ming Dynasty, the gap in ideology and civilization has made Zhu Di even more wary of this country.

If we don't annex this place soon and give them some more time, it will become a disaster for the Ming Dynasty in the future.

Indeed, if you do not go out to sea, seeing the Western Ocean is like a frog in a well looking at the moon in the sky. If you go out to sea, seeing the Western Ocean is like a mayfly looking at the blue sky.

This distant western continent is now experiencing an unprecedented wave of change and development. Its science and technology, culture and economy are all booming and developing, which is remarkable.

On the other hand, if our Ming Dynasty fails to implement reform measures in a timely manner, it will be submerged by this surging trend of Westernization and gradually lose its former glory and honor.

At this moment, Zhu Gaochi could not help but sigh with emotion, "Dad, look at this situation, Your Majesty really has extraordinary foresight!"

His eyes revealed his admiration for the wise decision-making of the current Emperor Zhu Yunhuan.

Zhu Di also sighed after hearing this and said, "Yes! The Ming Dynasty actually perished during the Hongwu reign! Back then, my father implemented a policy of isolation and strictly prohibited even an inch of wood from going out to sea. Such a short-sighted move really ruined the future of our Ming Dynasty! If it weren't for my nephew who went against all odds, vigorously developed the navy and sailed to the Western Ocean to open up overseas trade and exchange channels, I'm afraid that our Ming Dynasty would have fallen far behind the Western countries by now."
