Daming: If You Were Asked to Establish Vassal States, Would You Divide the World?

In the fourteenth year of Hongwu, the kings were about to take over the vassal state one after another. Zhu Yuanzhang summoned his sons Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di, Zhu Su and others to show them their respective fiefdoms. When it was the turn of King Zhu Su of Qi, Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at Qingzhou, Shandong and said: "Lao Qi, Qingzhou is rich and has a large population. Are you satisfied that we will grant Qingzhou to you?" Zhu Shu shook his head directly. "My son does not want Qingzhou." Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened on the spot. "You don't even like Qingzhou, where else do you want?" Zhu Shu took out a world map and spread it on Fengtian Hall. "In the Ming Dynasty, my sons and ministers don't want an inch of land." "My son, please grant me the title of Luzon." "Give me twenty old ships, one thousand personal troops, three thousand military households and craftsmen, and I will fight for them myself." All civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty thought that King Qi was crazy. Zhu Yuanzhang was also so angry that he drew his sword. Zhu Shu continued to point to the map. "My second brother, King Qin, can go west to Hexi and take the fertile soil of Tianzhu." "The third brother, King Jin, can go north to the grassland and take over the countries in the river." "The fourth brother, King Yan, is the best at fighting. Beiping is too small to be worthy of the fourth brother. The dozens of countries in the far west are suitable for the fourth brother to defeat them one by one." "When the other brothers reach adulthood, they can also go to Southeast Asia, enter Africa, and cross the ocean." "My father has more than twenty sons, and the land in the Ming Dynasty is not enough." "The land on this map is enough to be divided among the descendants of the old Zhu family for thousands of years!" Zhu Yuanzhang was furious: "We asked you to choose a fiefdom, and you divided the whole world?"
