Chapter 135
But if he is treated as a traitor and guarded against to the death, he will never get his hands on military power in his life.
This was undoubtedly a nightmare ending for him who had always dreamed of fighting on the battlefield.
The complex and tangled emotions in his heart continued to spread, and for a moment, Zhu Di felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him.
Just when he was almost suffocating, Zhu Biao said something.
In an instant, all the pressure disappeared.
"Fourth Brother, it was Dad and I who proposed the overseas vassalage. I hope you won't hold a grudge against it."
"The journey overseas is long and arduous. It will be very difficult to return after leaving the Ming Dynasty. I may not be able to see my mother for more than ten years."
"But I just don't want you to become useless in your fiefdom. You've seen what the second brother has become after he was enfeoffed."
"I have raised you all since you were little. I hope you will achieve great things and expand the territory of the Ming Dynasty!"
Pretty!
While Zhu Biao was speaking, Wei Wu secretly admired him in his heart.
As expected of the most stable crown prince in history, Zhu Biao's words had Zhu Di in his grasp.
Indeed, most of Zhu Yuanzhang's sons followed Zhu Biao since childhood.
Although he is the eldest brother in terms of status, putting aside the ethical relationship, these younger brothers should call him little dad.
First, play the role of deep brotherly love and hope that the younger brother will become successful, and then add the role of family and country.
Zhu Di was still too young, only twenty-two years old, and was immediately infected by Zhu Biao's brotherhood.
"Brother, I will listen to you in everything. I will do whatever you tell me to do!"
Seeing that Zhu Biao had dealt with Zhu Di, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled in his heart and turned to look at Wei Wu.
"Xiao Wu, I came to see you today mainly for two things. The first is the steam engine. How long will it take to build it?"
"Uncle Zhu, the Science and Technology Research Institute has just been completed and research hasn't even started yet. You can't ask me to issue a military order!"
"We have already ordered the navy to intensify their training so that they can..."
Without waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to finish, Wei Wu stood up and patted his chest and said:
"Give me one month to build a steam engine, and I'll never find a wife in my life!!!"
Seeing Wei Wu's reaction, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed secretly in his heart.
"You little brat, can't we control you? Hehe!"
Zhu Biao also understood why Wei Wu acted like this, only Zhu Di was puzzled.
After hesitating for a moment, he looked at his father and then at his elder brother.
In the end, he asked Zhu Biao in a low voice.
"Brother, what is a winning chicken, and what is this technology research institute?"
"I don't know either, but my father takes it very seriously, and Xiao Wu also said it's very important."
Zhu Biao shook his head and responded casually.
Zhu Biao did not lie in this statement. Recently, either his son was sick or his wife was causing trouble.
In addition to dealing with the problems after Lu's death, he also had to spend a lot of time dealing with state affairs.
He was so busy that he had no time to pay attention to what Wei Wu and Zhu Yuanzhang said.
I finally made some time today, and when I heard this, I was already planning to go back and talk to Lao Zhu.
Just as the two were talking in a low voice, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke again.
"The second thing I want to ask you is, is the land in that place called Australia University barren and what about the mineral resources?"
"When the fourth brother goes there, will he be able to settle down there and be self-sufficient?"
Wei Wu then understood that this was the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang had brought Zhu Di here.
After thinking about the situation in Australia, he said:
"Australia is a resource-rich country with low-lying terrain and natural grasslands."
"More than 60% of the land is used for agriculture and animal husbandry. The land is fertile and suitable for growing food. It is also surrounded by the sea and has a rich fishery."
"And most importantly, the land is vast, not much smaller than that of the Ming Dynasty, and now only a few natives survive there."
