Since Yang Qilong's rebellion again, China's political situation can be said to have fallen into an unprecedented 'chaos' and 'chaos', only the emperor has suddenly appeared four, namely Beijing's Han Yuan Xing Emperor Lin Feng, Hubei's Caotou Emperor Yang Qilong and the southern Wu family's uncle and nephew, and in addition, the actual situation may be much more severe than the performance phenomenon, in fact, since the anti-thief Xuan Ye was beheaded, there are countless heroes and fools in the land of China If you want to move, the first to think about this is the three commanders of the Eight Banners, and then the three Han 'traitor' leaders in the south, and in the end, it is the turn of Taiwan's "Ming court".

In fact, if you count it this way, there is also a "Great Yuan Emperor" in the Northwest Territory - last year, Geldan claimed to have received the inheritance of the Golden Family, so he added such a title to himself.

Han Dynasty Ordnance Grain Statistics Ya 'Gate' has always attached great importance to this, it can be said that a large part of the silver poured out every year is thrown on this, at first Lin Feng felt a little puzzled, because in his opinion, this money 'spent' is really a bit wronged, to be honest, what Emperor of Heaven is really worthless this year, the so-called big fish eat small fish and small fish eat shrimp, as long as there is a territory with a little strength, who has the mind to make trouble, he himself came over like this, big brother don't laugh at the second brother.

However, several ministers under him did not see it that way, in their minds, the title of emperor obviously carried a lot of weight, you must know that since the three emperors and five emperors, everyone did not know how to live this life without the emperor. This is not very strange, because in Lin Feng's time, China has not had an emperor for a long time.

Now there is a lot of this kind of information on Lin Feng's desk, and the spies sent out by the Han Dynasty pay close attention to this matter, from the daily chatter of the 'adulterer' husband of the maid of the first aunt of a certain general's mansion, to the plan of Zheng Jing and his subordinates. For example, there was a major rebellion recently: on a certain cottage surnamed Li in a mountainous area of Shanxi, several cottage leaders were very bored, and after a long conversation, they decided to establish an empire, so they elected the oldest old man in the family to be the emperor, and declared that the mountain and hundreds of acres of nearby hillside land were the territory of the Tang Empire, and then slaughtered two lean pigs and put two firecrackers to "reward the ministers", and hundreds of princes, generals, and Shangshu suddenly appeared on the mountain. The youngest also got a fourth-grade master.

In fact, this matter was not a big deal, as we all know, because of the long-term war 'chaos', there are many bandits in that place in Shanxi like cattle 'hair', and like Li Jiazhai is everywhere with the family as the unit occupying the mountain as the king, most of the government's requirements for them are to collect some taxes and finish the matter, and within a year after this case, including the township officials who collected taxes, they were not aware of it, although these guys were called emperors and officials, but in the end there was no "court plan" for them to deal with, and in the end it was still a hunting for farming. It wasn't until after the Chinese New Year that a county magistrate returned to his hometown for the New Year and occasionally heard his relatives talk about it as a joke, and this magistrate didn't think it was a big deal at the time, and then relayed it to his colleagues after returning to the county seat, and finally fell into the ears of the county magistrate.

As an official appointed by the imperial court, of course the county commander knew the seriousness of this matter in politics, and he was frightened when he heard it: a "Tang Empire" actually emerged under his rule, which is also worth it - you must know that Shanxi was originally the "land of Longxing" of the Li Tang Dynasty, and that family is really surnamed Li, maybe it is really the Nth generation of Li Shimin's descendants, and immediately issued an urgent official document and delivered it to the city under the starry night, and the prefect was also shocked. color', didn't dare to slack off, quickly reported to the superiors, an official document was exaggerated after layers of polishing'color', when it arrived at Yu Jackie Chan, Li Jiazhai was like "seeking the country", so he secretly played Lin Feng on the one hand, and ordered troops to be sent on the other.

Five days later, the county commander dispatched more than 60 troops to crusade, and successfully arrested the emperor, prince, duke, Shangshu and other members of the Tang Empire, and the Tang Empire was destroyed. According to the order of Jackie Chan, the governor of Shanxi, the thieves were directly escorted to the imperial capital nearby.

At first, the county order took this matter very seriously: it has been a year of "founding the country" under his nose, and he knows nothing, and this responsibility is still lenient, so in order to shirk the responsibility, the official document is full of clouds and fog, and the Li Jiazhai is said to be extremely cunning, and the strength is amazing, even the local people are 'bewitched' by them, and the underground activities are unparalleled in the world, so they were accidentally ' After the report was reported, the bosses at all levels also did not dare to take responsibility, and at the same time, in order to show "shock and attention", they added bricks and tiles one after another, so Beijing has always thought that it is a group of rebel regiments that have been planned for a long time, well-organized, and powerful, and the 'sexuality' is very serious.

So after the prisoner was escorted to Beijing, there was a problem with this treatment, because Beijing raised this incident very high, so the level of this gang of thieves was also correspondingly high, if you go on according to the initial procedure, this incident has a great contribution: destroy a country, capture an emperor, and the corresponding meritorious personnel can at least get a marquis or something to play, and in addition, Lin Feng may have to go to the temple or something, but at the end of the day, everyone found out that it was just a group of peasants' playing games.

The only thing to be thankful for is that at such a critical moment, the imperial court ushered in a major event, and the emperor and the bigwigs of various ministries had no time to pay attention to it.

In the spring of 1689, the fleet of the Western Expeditionary Corps returned to its homeland under the leadership of Brigadier General Murong Parrot and landed in Shandong.

The expedition lasted two years, passing through the China Sea, the South Sea, the Indian Ocean, and the coast of Africa, reaching the hinterland of Spain, conquering more than 20 towns and ports of Seville, Huelva, Cádiz, etc., sweeping through the southern part of the peninsula, successively defeating two Spanish crusading armies, defeating and annihilating more than 30 garrisons of the Spanish Army, four infantry regiments, and local noble 'private' troops and mercenary troops, sinking two warships, wounding seven, slaughtering 14 cities, beheading nearly 300,000, and handing over gold. Silver and other treasures were estimated at nearly 8 million taels of silver, and according to Murong Parrot, since the day of the retreat, intelligence estimates that nearly 1.6 million people have been displaced and homeless to escape the war.

The expeditionary corps also suffered heavy losses, with less than 800 of the 2,000 'elite' troops returning to their homeland. However, in the course of the war, Murong Parrot in the name of the Han Empire to recruit and appoint a large number of foreign mercenaries, when he set out on the expedition, seven warships, when he returned, suddenly increased to twenty-five, divided into three sub-fleets, crew sailors, officers of all levels counted 4,200 people, except for the headquarters of the Han army, most of them were North African pirates.

When the news was transmitted back to Beijing, the government and the opposition were shocked, and the Han Emperor Lin Feng ignored the obstruction of his ministers and led the chief officers of the General Staff and various departments to Tianjin to greet him in person under the protection of the Guards.

I haven't seen him for two years, Murong Parrot's face has changed greatly, his skin is dark and shiny, there is a long scar on his cheek, and there is a strong smell of sea on his body.

"Minister, Murong Parrot, the brigadier general of the Western Army, meet His Majesty the Emperor, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live! ...... "At this time, Murong Parrot was told by the officials of the Ministry of Rites that he knew that Lin Feng had been proclaimed emperor last year.

"Aiqing, please get up," Before he finished the set of scheduled actions, Lin Feng stepped forward to help him with a smile, pulled him to the front of the high platform, and laughed forward, "All Aiqing, come and see, this is our Han's Huo Yao!" - This is our Han's Li 'pharmacist' master! ”

"Your Majesty is mighty! ……”

The ministers in the audience, together with the soldiers of the Guards, bowed down and praised loudly, but the thousands of foreign soldiers brought by Murong Yu were a little overwhelmed, although at this time they all put on the official Han army uniforms, but they had not been formally awarded, and there was no professor of the Ministry of Etiquette, and they didn't know what etiquette to be in the face of Lin Feng.

At this time, I saw that the Han army colleagues on the side knelt down one after another, some of them did the same, three tracks and nine knocks, and some were on one knee, saluting according to the etiquette of their hometown, and a group of Arabs even prostrate on the ground, all kinds of chaos and chaos.

Murong Parrot's face turned pale, and he bowed down to apologize, "Your Majesty praises me, and the ministers dare not bear it." ”

"Why don't you dare to be?!" Lin Feng smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Huo Quai, how many enemies did you kill?" Li Jing, do you have to fight far?! ”

Murong Parrot smirked all over his face, but his mouth was full of excuses.

"You're welcome—come, sit here!"

After he sat down, Lin Feng said with a smile, "This expedition, killing hundreds of thousands of enemies, has greatly breathed a bad breath for our Chinese people, and let those white-skinned monkeys know how powerful we are, Qing is really a great achievement!" ”

"It's all Your Majesty's Hongfu, and the Han is mighty and invincible!"

"You don't have to be modest, although the Spaniards have been a little declining over the years, they still have a few brushes!" Lin Feng waved his hand and said, "I said little parrot, do you plan to continue to work in the navy or go back to work in the army?!" ”

Murong Parrot was slightly stunned, his face was hesitant, and he was stunned for a long time before he nodded violently, "Your Majesty, the minister is still in the navy!" He bowed slightly, pointed to the group of mercenaries and said, "Our brothers were born and died for the Han Dynasty, and the minister swore to them at the beginning, and in the future, he will be rich and prosperous, and he will live and die together!" He stood up, bowed to Lin Feng again, and said sincerely, "Please don't despise them as overseas barbarians!" ”

"Don't, don't! Get up," Lin Feng pulled him and pressed him back to his seat, "I won't tell you, our Han Navy is just starting up, fledgling, and there are really not many official positions, Aiqing's credit is so great, I have thought about it for a long time, and I don't know how to reward you!" ”

Murong Yu's heart jumped, his face turned pale, and he said in fear, "Your Majesty ......

"Don't, don't, after listening to me," Lin Feng waved his hand and cut off his words, "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to be suspicious of you," he laughed and pointed to the expeditionary army's formation, "To put it mildly, your few thousand soldiers are not qualified for me to be suspicious!" ”

Murong Parrot was extremely embarrassed.

"I mean, now our navy has two fleets, under the command of Yang Haisheng and Shi Lang, originally I thought, if Qing still wants to stay in the navy, I will 'draw' some ships from their subordinates, plus your troops, a new third fleet, and you will serve as the fleet commander, but ......" Lin Feng shook his head and sighed, "But the General Staff has checked, the situation over there is not very rich, and the strength is a little too thin, I'm afraid I can't 'pump' the main battleship!" ”

Murong Parrot said with a feeling of 'excitement', "Your Majesty is tired, and the ministers are terrified!" ”

"So I thought about it for a few nights, and finally came up with a clever plan that could be just right for you!" Lin Feng smiled, "Aiqing is from the army, skilled in martial arts, strong in riding, 'shooting' and 'fine', and after this expedition, I believe that artillery and firearms must also be very familiar, so I plan to simply set up a special 'door' Marine Corps!" ”

"Marines?!" Murong Parrot was stunned, his face puzzled.

"It's the army under the navy!" Lin Feng smiled slightly and explained, "As far as Qing is concerned, is the sea area of our Han Dynasty considered big?!" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, that's naturally huge!" Murong Parrot thought for a moment and added, "Chen has traveled tens of thousands of miles and seen hundreds of countries, but he has never seen a sea frontier bigger than our Chinese Celestial Empire!" ”

"Yes, then look at it again, are there many islands in our Celestial Empire?!"

"A lot!"

"Really?" Lin Feng said with a smile, "Think about it, if one day happens, we have to fight a naval war with other countries and fight for islands, in addition to warships competing at sea, what else do we need to do?!" ”

Murong Parrot suddenly realized, "Then naturally I have to go ashore to fight!" ”

"That's right, so I thought that if we were going to fight this kind of war, I'm afraid we would have to 'pump' the army again, retrain a group of men and horses to adapt to sea ships, learn landing operations, and then cooperate with the navy for joint operations," he looked at Murong Parrot, "Qing doesn't think it's troublesome?!" ”

Murong Parrot nodded and said, "That's right, so we have to have an army that can not only fight at sea, but also fight on foot!" ”

"That's exactly the case, so I decided to take the opportunity of the return of the expeditionary force to reorganize the General Staff and set up the War Department and the Navy Department respectively," he smiled at Murong Yu, "The Lu Military Department doesn't talk about him, just the navy, the two fleets are still the same, with General Shi Lang as the Admiral of the First Fleet and the Secretary of the Admiralty, and Admiral Yang Haisheng as the Admiral of the Second Fleet and the 'Squire' of the Admiralty, and then on the basis of the Expeditionary Force, the men and ships will be reorganized, mainly troop carriers, and the Dahan Marine Corps will be established, with you as the Admiral and the Admiralty." 'Squire' title, how?! ”

Murong Parrot hurriedly bowed down, "Your Majesty, the minister will definitely kill the enemy and serve the court!" ”

"The day before yesterday, I asked Zhou Peigong to count the data, the First Fleet has more than 60 main warships and nearly 20,000 soldiers; The Second Fleet has 46 main warships and more than 14,000 soldiers, and of course your Marine Corps can't be too small! Lin Feng frowned slightly and thought for a while, "I think the establishment is tentatively set at 15,000 people, which is equivalent to a main field army of the army, a cavalry brigade, and 4,000 horses; Two musket brigades and two artillery brigades, ships and escort warships, etc., will be counted after consulting with Shi Lang, Yang Haisheng and others, what do you think?! ”

"No objection!"

"That's the best, you handed over a lot of loot this time, the household department roughly estimated, about more than 8 million taels of silver, I called you back 1.5 million taels to replenish military expenses, Qing must hurry up, to form combat power in the shortest possible time."

Murong Parrot was slightly stunned, Lin Feng suppressed his throat, and said word by word, "Hit, Taiwan, Bay!" ”
