chapter eight hundred and thirty six.
"No wonder!"
After putting down the resume at hand and breathing a sigh of relief, Mao Jue suddenly easily picked a bottle of 1882 Lafite from the wine cabinet carefully prepared by the major shareholders behind him. He poured the red wine into a silver cup with a few pieces of rock sugar, shaved the rock sugar, and tasted it beautifully.
He is going to get married again, or he has to get married again!
.........
On the other side, Annanhai Fanggang, tens of thousands of kilometers away, was also in a room with glass shattered all over the ground, and Luo Yu was also looking through the documents.
But unlike Emperor Mao's calmness, she was excited and distressed and merged. What was before her was a bright yellow imperial edict. There was no Office of the Interior or Shaofu in Mao Jue's era. The imperial edict was issued by a royal estate committee with similar substitutes, but its rights and operation methods were completely different. The content was to engage her and recruit her Luo Yu as the seventh concubine of His Majesty the Northern Ming Emperor.
It was a hesitant but unexpectedly, the helmsman of the Luo family, her eldest cousin Luo Ning, became the company's sinner, and to some extent he even betrayed the empire. However, the Luo family is still lush in the East India Company. Mao Jue's reliance on the Luo family in his most important career is largely due to the feelings between him and Luo Ning. Now that this bond is gone, Mao Jue has only two choices, either to completely eliminate the Luo family at the risk of injury and heavy bleeding, or to deal with the Luo family in a low-key manner, and then choose a daughter to marry again in the Luo family.
It seems that Luo Yu has received this honor and become the marriage bond of the family.
For a genius girl in her early twenties, she was deprived of her right to love at a young age, and her marriage happiness in the second half of her life was decided, which is considered unfortunate! However, this marriage that has nothing to do with love, is purely a matter of exchange of interests, and Luo Yu is not rejected by her in a confused manner.
On the one hand, she was also considered an old Liaodong faction. After the Hangzhou incident in the seventh year of Chongzhen, some of the Luo family members were sent to Liaodong as hostages, and she was one of them. Then, in the year when she graduated from Dongjiang Academy, she caught a large army to cede Songhang Quanfu Port and formed the East India Company. She was transferred back in this opportunity as a Luo family and Liaodong faction, and was allocated to become a shareholder director, responsible for commercial affairs in the five Southeast countries. Mao Jue was her faction leader. Apart from the big age gap, she was not in a strife to marry him.
In particular, the value obtained by this marriage is great enough. The East India Company's eight gunboats and a 75-meter dragon-class battleship of the Royal Fleet of the Capital were parked at the port beside him. The command of the eight mercenary groups of the companies was also in the hands of a young woman. What made her even more excited was that the company granted her full power. Even if she started a war to form an alliance, there were only two people in the entire East India Company who had enjoyed such authority before, namely, the Malata tribes and Madhya Pradesh fight in the Mughal Empire, and controlled Malacca, and extended its tentacles southward to Zheng Sen, the pirate king of the Duke of the Sea, which is said to be another new continent.
Now, Su Yu has become a master who controls the power of several countries! The red book she is holding now is a power of attorney covered with Mao Jue's private seal and all the seals of the board members.
"Sister Yu! Sister Yu!"
Just as Luo Yu was holding the red book in a confused manner and watching Huang book in a daze, a series of rapid screams suddenly rang at the door. Chu Tian, the girl, was like crazy, pushed the door in and shouting excitedly: "I don't know why, the mobs who just besieged the company's port just now were all driven away by the Annan City Guards. Then the head of the city guards sent someone to send a letter. The chief minister of the chief Ruan Yuelian wanted to invite Sister Yu to the mansion to talk!"
Finally came back to his senses, Luo Yu's pretty and lovely face showed a sense of contempt! This morning, four mercenary groups arrived at Haifang Port with nine battleships, holding a huge military force. She hoped that Ruan Yue would connect with her and get a slight anger that had been hung for several days.
"See him? Send someone to send a letter to the Coast Defense Protectorate and ask him to come here to see me!"
"Go now, sir!"
Chu Tian agreed with excitement when she heard this, twisting her little butt and trying to run out quickly, but before she could run a few movies, Luo Yu's call came from behind.
"Wait first! Go out and help me choose a veil, bigger one!"
"Vai? Sister, don't you hate that stuff the most?"
"Your sister, I'm married! I have to wear it even if I hate it!"
This time, Chu Tianzhen looked at Luo Yu, who had a slightly red face, and then dripped her hand on Luo Yu's fair forehead in surprise.
"Didn't you have a fever? Could it be that you've run into a water ghost?"
"What nonsense?"
He slapped the girl's little hand, and suddenly, Luo Yu took the yellow imperial edict with great pride: "Did you see, your majesty's letter of appointment, your sister, I am also the imperial concubine!"
His eyes widened, and Chu Tian's small, sharp chin shell almost fell down without any surprise.
.........
Since the Age of Discovery, legendary companies have emerged like bamboo shoots after a rain, but no company can reach the height of the British East India Company, because the British East India Company has achieved a feat that none of the companies have achieved, and has completed the dimensionality reduction strike as a company, stood above the country, and destroyed the entire Mughal Empire.
In this time and space, the British East India Company had another Ming prefix. It was a hundred years earlier than the East India Company in history. Not only did it start its great and despicable path of conquest, but it had a much bigger appetite. While fighting with the Mughal Empire, it attacked the ancient five countries on the Indochina Peninsula again.
What is the most suitable thing for an economic crisis? It is the most suitable for war!
On July 18, after a secret meeting with the powerful minister Ruan Yuelian of Annan at Haipang Port, on July 21, Luo Yu ordered the Central South headquarters of the East India Company stationed in Chameng to withdraw and reside in Da Nang, which is not far away but belongs to Annan. Immediately on July 25, the Annan Prefecture State killed Bigu County in Chameng with great fanfare in the name of rebelling against the people of Zhan and persecuting the merchants of the Celestial Dynasty.
Due to the extinction of the East India Company near the coastal defense, many migrant workers turned into mobs, which happened to serve as the source of troops for the southern expedition. At the new East India Company headquarters in Da Nang, Luo Yu also signed the latest large order this year, with a total of 500,000 taels of military purchase case to purchase weapons and military supplies from the Ming Dynasty, including the general guns, general guns, armored swords, spears and chariots.
At this moment, the Zhan kings Panera and Zhan Jiasol, who had always been indulging mobs to attack the East India Company to expel the company's power, were panicked. After all, for nearly a hundred years, the Zhan people and the Yue people have been defeated repeatedly and have almost lost all the lands in the south and northwest. They even relied on asking for help from the Ming Dynasty decades ago. The Ming army sent troops to restrain the Yue people, which made Chameng not destroy the country. Now the Ming people have been driven away, and the Yue people have come again. The Chameng royal family is simply called Tiantian and the earth is not effective. Wang Xiangjiasol, who refused to meet the East India Company for a month and a half, personally took a sailboat to Da Nang, and wanted to cry and beg for the East India Company to mediate on behalf of the Ming Dynasty. Who knew that he was empty here.
Miss Luo Yu is not at home, and Manager Liu, who was invited to be rejected six times in a row, smiled and shrugged. He couldn't make the decision, why don't you wait any longer?
I really want you to ignore me in the future. Today I will tell you that you can’t stand it!
However, Luo Yu did not deliberately ignore him. The young lady was really worried! On July 18, the Bangkok branch of Siam was officially expelled by the Sukhothai Dynasty. Although the company branch had already stopped its activities and the members were ready to evacuate at any time and were on standby on the company's merchant ship, a large amount of property in the branch was still seized and plundered by the Siam government. It is said that even the office building was enfeoffed by Sukhothai and became the governor's office.
This was simply hitting the muzzle!
Luo Yu, who had just received the military authority from the company, was like a little girl who had been robbed of candy. As soon as this one signed an army purchase case with Annan, the other one immediately rushed south with the fleet he had just arrived. He sailed near the sea for eight days and took the strong island of Siam and the Sothai in the outer corner of the Gulf of Siam. On August 8, the gunboats of the Jiujo East India Company, which were about to be armed to the teeth, once again reached the edge of Bangkok City.
To be honest, the level of artillery in the Ming Dynasty at this time was about decades away from the British naval guns during the First Opium War, but the level of the military preparation of the Siam dynasty was at least eight hundred years lower than that of the Qing army in that era. During the Southern Song Dynasty, Chameng people broke through the Angkor dynasty that once unified most of the Indochina Peninsula by learning the cavalry and shooting tactics of the Central Plains. The Sukhothai dynasty now got up from the corpse of the Angkor dynasty, and it is conceivable that its backwardness was imagined.
Firearms, there are! Some Spanish and Dutch brought them, and they didn't care about using a clamp gun. The remaining long-range weapons were only bows and arrows. As for armor, in the hot climate, Thai soldiers were basically not wearing armor. Only some generals and nobles could put on armor that was full of Buddhist flavor and was much more decorative than practicality. Most of the remaining soldiers were shirtless.
The fall of Sattaipi made the Siam army prepare for it. The harbor was densely arranged with troops. At about 10 a.m., the fleet entered the depths of Bangkok Bay. Luo Yu, who was wearing a triangle hat on his head, held a long monocular telescope and looked on the land. But by chance, a man with chest hair was the first to come into her eyes. The hot weather made the guy sweat all over. He was holding a big knife and screaming. The sweat beads flowed down his long and thick armpit hair, which made Luo Yu feel disgusted at first.
He threw the telescope directly. The young lady covered her mouth and hid back while slapped her little slap in anger: "Fire the cannon! Fire the cannon!"
Amid the creaking sound, heavy cannon cabin windows were slowly pulled up by iron chains. Then, the new generation of cannons, which had surpassed the red-clothed cannon technology, showed its hideous muzzle.
Boom~ Boom~
It was as if I heard a muffled thunder. On the sea level, large patches of white smoke floated up, and my eardrums itched violently. In the astonished eyes of a group of shirtless men, small black dots magnified little by little in their pupils.
