Starting from the Beginning, American Tycoon

Is it cool to transmigrate to South America? Zhu Xianhai's answer is: it's very cool.

After all, 19th-century South America is still a place where cowards vie for hegemony, a land ful...

The so-called spiritual mobilization.

In fact, the essence is to tell everyone why to fight!

Propaganda of hatred is a form of mobilization. A qualified politician will always do something when necessary.

Why did Emperor Zhu come to Asuncion? Of course, it was not for sightseeing, but for...

Brazil!

Emperor Zhu silently glanced at the map on the table. He slowly stood up from the table, then walked to the window, looking at the square and gazing at Asuncion in the dark.

Although the city seemed peaceful in the twilight, he could still feel the anger in the air!

"Revenge, revenge, for our children..."

"Your Majesty, avenge our children, revenge!"

Sometimes, human hearts are so simple that they only need a trigger to ignite the anger that has been suppressed for years.

War is an ominous thing.

But in reality, one side is purgatory and the other side is heaven.

Purgatory!

After the defeat, the Paraguayans experienced what purgatory is like!

Heaven!

As long as the war is won, it is heaven for the victor!

"When the world's attention is drawn to Türkiye, we can declare war on Brazil!"

Declare war on Brazil!

It's not just a declaration of war, but a complete wiping out of the country of Brazil from the world!

The land of Ming Dynasty has no end!

Standing silently in front of the window, Emperor Zhu smoked a cigar, his eyes narrowed into slits.

The next target is Brazil!

Why Brazil?

Because the capital of Ming Dynasty is in Brazil!

The Ming Dynasty was founded in the New World, so how could its capital be in a city founded by the Spanish?

As a proud Chinese, Emperor Zhu has always felt resentful about this.

What's more, he still has hope in his heart, which is to create miracles!

New World countries generally lack historical heritage, so they like man-made heritage, or more precisely, wonders, such as Mount Rushmore in the United States, the Brooklyn Bridge in New York, the Empire State Building, and the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. They build these landmarks, or wonders, to form their own heritage.

The Ming Dynasty, like the United States, faces the same problem - China has a rich historical heritage, but in South America, the Ming Dynasty's heritage is a bit thin. Many cities in the Ming Dynasty were founded by the Spaniards, that is, Nanhua, Nanyuan, Linhai and other cities were founded by the Chinese themselves. But those cities are too far south.

As a continental empire, Ming Dynasty needed a central city. This center was not a nominal center, but a geographical center. It can be understood as the center of South America, or at least close to it.

At the same time, the Ming Dynasty also needed a spectacle to show the world its uniqueness.

When people mention Yingtian, the first thing that comes to mind is Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The Ming Dynasty needed a capital of its own, a central city.

It is not only a central city, but also a gathering place of architectural wonders - the city of the future!

Where is the central city of Ming Dynasty?

In Brazil!

The Mato Grosso Plateau in northern Paraguay is also known as the Brazilian Plateau in a broad sense. However, its location is not in Brasilia, but in the Meia Ponte River Valley in its southwest. It has a mild climate at an altitude of 760 meters, with an average annual temperature of 22.9℃. It is used to build the capital, and even air conditioning is not needed.

It is almost the location of the Goiania Market in another world, of course, it is still a wasteland now.

"In Ming Dynasty, both the modern cities we created and the cities left by the Spanish lack iconic buildings and no proud monuments, and a country should strengthen its public image through architecture."

In the Asuncion senior officials' meeting room, Emperor Zhu first met with his royal architect, Yang Sicheng. He was the first generation of overseas students in the Ming Dynasty. He once studied architecture in France. During his study in France, he participated in the renovation of old buildings in Paris with his teacher. After returning to China, he tried to integrate Eastern and Western architecture with Nanhua's modern architecture, and created a pioneering modern Eastern-style architecture. With the buildings he participated in designing, he gradually became famous. Yingtian New City was designed by him and his colleagues.

When accompanying the emperor to Asuncion this time, Yang Sicheng was originally a little confused. Why did he, an architect, come here?

"So, we need to build a new capital, a capital city that belongs to the Ming Dynasty."

New capital!

When Yang Sicheng was surprised, the first thought that came to his mind was - he is worthy of being a member of the Zhu family, he still wants to move the capital!

"I now have a preliminary idea. First of all, the total length of Xindu's north-south axis avenue is about 40 kilometers and the width is 160 meters. In order to ensure the smooth flow of the central axis, especially the visual perfection of the north-south axis, the connection method of the east-west axis underground overpass is adopted where the two axis avenues meet..."

When talking about his ideas, Emperor Zhu even showed some sketches he had drawn, from the imperial palace to the landmark government office building, and of course the skyscrapers that are hundreds of meters high. In a word, once the city is built, the entire city will surely be extremely impactful.

"This city will become an eternal monument of the Ming Dynasty and proof of China's roots in the New World. The new capital of the Ming Dynasty will surely adapt to its great mission with its stunning appearance." Faced with the architectural wonders drawn by Emperor Zhu, Yang Sicheng, the most famous architect of the Ming Dynasty, could not help but be a little dazed.

"this……"

Stunned, Yang Sicheng said weakly,

"Your Majesty, let alone the fact that these buildings are too grand, relocating the capital rashly would be a waste of money and manpower. Now that Yingtian New City has fully demonstrated the style of our new Ming Dynasty, relocating the capital..."

As an architect, Yang Sicheng certainly wanted to become the designer of the new capital and closely link his name with the Ming Dynasty, but he was also a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty! Even though he was not an official, he was loyal to the emperor, so he wanted to learn from the Ming officials in history books to speak out for justice.

However, he obviously did not forget his identity, and he didn't even need Emperor Zhu to glare at him, just one sentence.

"This is what I need, and this is what the country needs! This matter is settled!"

Yang Sicheng immediately became scared, there was nothing he could do, the client was the most important, and as an architect he certainly knew this.

"So where does Your Majesty plan to build the capital?"

Just as he was wondering whether to build the capital in Asuncion, Emperor Zhu took out a map and pointed to the standard star on the map thousands of kilometers north of the Ming border.

"Here, this is it!"

"Your Majesty, this..."

When he looked up, Yang Sicheng was completely stunned.

“That’s Brazil!”

"It doesn't matter. It will belong to the Ming Dynasty sooner or later. You can go and investigate first. My new capital can't wait that long. First investigate the local terrain, then formulate a plan, and start construction immediately after conquering it..."

Why fight Brazil?

It's not expansion at all. It's to recover... or to take back what should have belonged to the Ming Dynasty.

How can we avoid fighting when the Ming Dynasty’s capital is in Brazil?

Yes, is there such a thing?

The capital was still on someone else's territory, so we sent people to investigate first.

Although he was extremely shocked, Yang Sicheng still obeyed.

"Then I will take people to investigate right away... Your Majesty, please wait!"
