In the bustling hustle and bustle, no one noticed that there were two more luxuriously decorated carriages at the entrance of the customs office building in Hangzhou Port, who came to inspect the work for private purposes. When the crowd stared at the sissy Prince Kong and talked endlessly, Mao Jue was holding a telescope and obsessed with a look at the military port. The water in the locks was shining and the iron armored battleship supported by iron racks.

That look was like peering at a peerless beauty taking a bath.

They are all his treasures!

Recently, many major events have actually happened in the Ming Dynasty. For example, Wen Meng's entry into the city and accepted the Daxi Army left behind by Zhang Xianzhong after his death. Bashu was re-introduced to the Ming Dynasty after almost ten years of exporting its population.

For example, when Jiangxi Governor Yuan Long helped defeat Ganjiang, he was attacked in Huguang and Guangdong. In addition to some of the stubborn guys hiding in the mountains to fight guerrilla warfare with Mao Jue, most of Jiangxi was also gathered in the hands of the Ming Dynasty. As for today, in addition to the Yongli Dynasty established by King Gui Zhu Youlang, who was also the mountain king in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, Mao Jue has become invincible in China.

However, the recovery of these two provinces could not catch up with the battle of Baohehai in Mao Jue's mind, nor could it catch up with the importance of defeating the combined fleet of Western powers.

Unifying the world is like climbing a hillside. At this level, it is already the destiny of heaven. Jiangxi, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangdong and Guangxi are all his. There is no suspense. If you take it back one day or another, it will not bring much benefits or joy.

But in the next few centuries, the ocean was the top priority of all civilizations. Wealth comes from the sea, and danger also comes from the sea! After defeating the Netherlands and taking Batavia into his pocket, no one could shake the hegemony of the Ming Empire, the agricultural civilization, in the Pacific. If Western countries want to take the Pacific route and operate the trade in the New Continent of America, they must go through their own territory and pay for themselves. In the confrontation with Western countries, the situation of balance between the east and the west has been achieved.

On the other hand, it was Mao Jue's heart knot. From the beginning of Britain's first Opium War to Mao Jue's era, it seemed that China really did not defeat the West in naval warfare, just like the British curse against France in history. The French Navy said that it could not defeat the British Royal Navy, even at the peak of Napoleon's period, it could not defeat it.

The last battle in Manila defeated the Spaniards. On the one hand, they fought more and had to lure the tiger away from the mountain. On the other hand, they fought mainly colonial armed merchant ships. But this time, they fought to the death with the most peak Western navy. Mao Jue was also a little confused about whether he could fight, so he would rather abandon Manila than wait for Liaodong to send his final weapon to the battlefield.

But it turns out that being cautious is not wrong.

However, no matter what, the battle was won, and it won beautifully. Now even if Mao Jue kicked his legs and didn't know where to travel, the Ming Navy in this time and space can still compete with any navy in the Seven Seas and Five Oceans, making him worry.

However, just as Mao Jue sighed, there was an untimely coughing sound behind him, breaking his intoxication. He turned around in surprise. However, Song Daming looked like a man wearing a first-class official uniform, covering his mouth depressedly. On the ground, a middle-aged man of the same age as him, but he was much more handsome than him. The burly and powerful figure knelt respectfully on the ground in armor.

The recruitment of the Daxi Army was not smooth. Zhang Xianzhong and several adopted sons, Ai Nengqi, Liu Guoneng, etc., all surrendered to the Ming Dynasty under the command of Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, appointed by Zhang Xianzhong. Only Sun Kewang did not know how to be favored and actually led his army into Yunnan and surrendered to the Yongli regime of Zhu Youlang, the King of Gui who proclaimed himself emperor with Longwu.

I really don’t know why these remnants of Zhu Ming’s forces had a problem. Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Dian Kingdom, was overjoyed by Sun Kewang, was ambitious and just led the Yunnan army northward to fight for the Bashu Plain for Mao Jue to play the Shu Han separatist.

However, Mu Tianbo has lived in the border for a long time and really doesn't know the changes in the world. As soon as he left Lingbei, he was attacked by the Sichuan light cavalry, killed and defeated, and fled in a panic.

However, the one who led the cavalry to defeat Mu Tianbo and Sun Kewang's coalition was not Wen Meng in the newspaper. Mao Jue, his uncle, is now the first-rank official, and is the Duke of the Three Armies. Even if he wants to come to the battle personally, a group of staff under him must press him.

The real hero who defeated the enemy was the middle-aged handsome man kneeling here in front of him, Zhang Xianzhong's adopted son, and King Li Dingguo of Jin.

In history, Li Dingguo once stood firmly on the side of the Yongli Dynasty, resisting the Qing army's Wu Sangui's minions, who had a numerical advantage for more than ten years. In the end, the Burmese king betrayed the faith and attacked Yongli and went into exile in the court. He handed Emperor Yongli to Wu Sangui to death with a bowstring. He died of despair and died of serious illness due to despair, which brought the heroic anti-Qing war in western Yunnan to an end. He, the last famous general at the end of the Ming Dynasty, surrendered to his own hands, and Mao Jue's collection habit was fully satisfied.

After so many years of emperors, Mao Jue's thick black learning has been fully practiced. He does not have the awareness of being drooling as he looks like a pervert and is knocked out by his subordinates. He has a smile on his face, and he smiles loudly and helps him over.

"Oh, General Li is here, and I don't remind me. I hope you are so eager to see you. Please get up quickly! Please get up quickly!"

"The last general thanks Lord Long's kindness!"

He was worthy of being the last famous general of the Southern Ming Dynasty. Li Shuai bowed his head and thanked him without saying a word, and then stood up.

"General Li is here, will everything be fine in Sichuan?"

Mao Jue had to ask about the local situation in routine, but this sentence touched Li Dingguo's pain point. He was helpless and frustrated and bowed heavily. His tone was a little resentful and replied: "Your Majesty has a strange plan, and there is no such thing in Sichuan. How can you negotiate or not?"

Speaking of this, Mao Jue showed a smug smile cunningly.

Talent and ambition are synchronized. Li Dingguo's general is so talented. It is impossible to say that he has no ambition at all. However, he really has no conditions to separatist the country. Before, Zhang Xianzhong regarded the people of Sichuan as enemies and sold them to Wen Meng in Hanzhong. There were only a total of four or five million people in Bashu. In ten years, the violent population loss made the rich plains in Sichuan empty. Nine out of ten rooms were all light, and it was really impossible to see people in a hundred miles. Zhang Jingtie, a fat field disciple.

In the later period, Mao Jue decided to build a Xinjiang Production and Development Corps, increased orders to Zhang Xianzhong, and increased the price of the purchase population by five times. In order to pursue profits, Zhang Xianzhong also ordered the plunder of all ethnic groups in the border areas of Yunnan and plundered people as slaves. During the slave war, the Western Army offended the Yunnan ethnic minorities all over again.

He had no people under his command, and there were pursuers in front of the enemy behind him. Even if Li Dingguo had the ability to dominate the world, he could not establish a country. He had a quarrel with Sun Kewang. As soon as Wen Meng entered Sichuan, he had to accept the imperial edict if he was reluctant.

There were crowds of people outside the window again. There were still many problems with iron-clad ships that were launched for the first time. For example, seafood was difficult to deal with. At this time, the four ships were already exposed under the waterline, covered with crustaceans such as oysters and mussels. This thing affected the speed very much and corroded the hull. In order to deal with them, a large group of port workers climbed onto the scaffolding in the lock with knives.

He glanced at the side, and Mao Jue's progress in meeting was accelerated a lot, so he started singing loudly.

"Li Dingguo in Sichuan has made contributions to the land! He has been brave enough to suppress bandits. I feel very relieved. Today he is appointed as the Marquis of the Conquest of the East and the General of Dingnan. His annual salary is 100,000 taels. Each of them has rewards. He will be immediately reviewed by the cabinet and promulgated the world!"

This is a reward for surrendering. Although the Marquis of Zhengdong was much smaller than the King of Jin given to him by Zhang Xianzhong, he was still an orthodox title of the imperial court. With this position as a general of Dingnan, his subordinates could save a lot and could still control the mercenaries in one side. Li Shuai was so happy that he lowered his head and wanted to bow down. Who knew that Mao Jue slapped his head in the kung fu.

"By the way, I forgot to say it, and I am actually sealed Tianhaizhou!"

Li Dingguo was so stupid that he heard this sentence. He was confused for a moment. He thought that he could have a happy life in Sichuan for a few more years. But Mao Jue's real title would mean differently. It was equivalent to letting him split the land and establish the country and become the local emperor himself. A ready-made example is Mu Tianbo from Yunnan, which is simply a pie falling from the sky.

But the pie may not be fragrant, and there may be poison in it. How did Mu Ying be granted the title of Yunnan back then? He was raised by Zhu Yuanzhang since he was a child. He was the adopted son of Zhu Yuanzhang and made great contributions to Zhu Yuanzhang's battles in the south and north. He was the position of Yongzhen Yunnan. What's the relationship between him, Li Dingguo and Mao Jue? He has just met for the first time. Why did he grant a state to himself? What conspiracy is there? Use yourself as cannon fodder for fighting with Mu Tianbo? Then, there will be another cunning rabbit and dead dog cooking?

For a moment, Li Dingguo even forgot to thank him and was stunned there, but Mao Jue was also careless, and he didn't care about any etiquette at all. He directly slapped Song Xiance with a smile.

"Song Qing, take Marquis Li down to receive the reward!"

There was no chance to refuse. Li Dingguo, who was confused and as slutty as a slut, followed Song Xianshou, who was also smiling like a profiteer.

Send them away, and once again, Mao Jue was impatient to raise his telescope to his four treasures. Seeing a large piece of Haihong and oysters being shoveled off, Mao Jue suddenly sighed involuntarily.

"I have done everything I can do, and the rest depends on you little bastard!"
