In the seventh year of Yuanwu, Liu Ximing personally held a grand canonization ceremony for the king of Japan and the king of Yingzhou in Tianjing.

"My son!"

Although it is a great thing to officially crown the king and establish the country, but when he thought that his son would stay away from him, Li Xiangjun and Dong Xiaowan still cried silently during the ceremony.

Liu Ximing looked calm.

He has long been accustomed to the gathering of later generations, and with the current development speed of Dahan, it is estimated that Osaka and Edo will soon be able to open shipping flights from Osaka and Edo to Dahan, and the transportation is actually very convenient.

According to the rules of the Han Dynasty, only the crown of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty is twelve, and the crown of the prince is nine.

However, Liu Ximing rebuilt the Chinese tributary system, and there was another king between the Son of Heaven and the Prince, so Liu Ximing set the king's crown at ten.

Now Liu Jiayou and Liu Jiahao are wearing a ten-year-old crown dress.

Liu Jiashan, the eldest son of the emperor on the side, looked envious.

He is now the prince, and his status is a head lower than that of his two younger brothers.

However, thinking about the implication of his father canonizing his two younger brothers and leaving himself, Liu Jiashan couldn't help but feel excited.

Since Liu Ximing secretly established the prince, he has changed the edict every year, so no one in the country knows who is the prince of the Han Emperor.

But after such an experience, at least everyone understands that the eldest son of the emperor must be one of the candidates.

"Japan and Yingzhou are newly determined, whether the two countries can smoothly integrate into our Greater China system depends on the two of you."

"You must remember that all those who govern the country must put the public heart first, and Japan and Yingzhou have lived outside China for a long time, and if they want to make them kings, they must first win their hearts."

In front of thousands of courtiers, Liu Ximing directly told Liu Jiahao's two brothers.

Liu Jiahao and Liu Jiayou were very excited, and they saluted one after another.

"The sons and daughters obey the teachings of their father."

Liu Ximing smiled and nodded, although his two sons were only 15 years old in a few years, he had already made full preparations for them.

After seven years of development, Dahan's education system has been initially established.

The old team of the Liu family, who originally received six years of compulsory education, has also made up for their academic qualifications in the past few years.

Now the officials in the Han Dynasty are also in the status of people.

Among so many people, it is still easy to find a team of ministers equipped for Japan and Yingzhou.

In addition, Liu Ximing let his cronies Huai Xinhou and General Li Biao lead the army to defend Japan and Yingzhou, and the situation in these two countries was stabilized in an instant.

Now the cabinet team of the Han Dynasty from the prime minister to the prime minister has formed a consensus.

In China's tributary system, the Han Empire had to provide armed protection for all nations while being responsible for building a new international order.

Of course, since they have accepted the protection, these countries will have to provide some small money.

The Han Dynasty is not the Ming Dynasty, although it is the suzerain, but it is not a big wrong.

However, the Chinese tributary system is different from the law of the jungle of the jungle.

After all, my Han is a country of sages, and we must not degenerate into the side of beasts who only talk about profit.

Therefore, as the first country to enter the modern civilization, the Han Dynasty has the obligation and responsibility to lead the Chinese cultural circle into the modern society and enjoy the fruits of industrial civilization.

The Han Dynasty also called it the Mandate of Heaven.

This is the theory of the Mandate of Heaven of the Han Dynasty put forward by the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty headed by Su Jin.

As soon as this concept was launched, it was immediately embraced by the whole country.

As a result, Su Jin became one of the most famous prime ministers in the history of the Han Dynasty.

The grand sealing ceremony held in Tianjing City seemed to be the clarion call for the Han Dynasty's external expansion, and at the same time that this grand scene had not disappeared from people's memory, many good news came out from overseas again.

April of the eighth year of Yuanwu.

Wu Qi, who is just 20 years old this year, finally boarded the ironclad ship Chen Qingzhi, which he dreamed of.

As a glorious periodman, he was a trainee officer as soon as he got on the ship.

Wu Qi's elder brother was killed in the Battle of Neixiang in Henan, and according to His Majesty the Emperor's new system, these fallen soldiers and military families could choose to join Yu Linlang to continue the glory of their father and brother.

According to reason, the period of men lang also has to take the exam, but because the firepower of the Han army is too fierce, including the losses in the Northern Expedition war, the competition of period men lang is not fierce now.

This point made many generals in the army envious, if it wasn't for the fear of death, it would be impossible to say that many people would have to fight.

In short, Wu Qi successfully completed his service in Qimenlang.

This time, he took the initiative to apply to Langguan Temple, plus the naval course he had taken before, so he was sent to the South China Sea Fleet.

This time their mission was to cross Jakarta and continue southward, where His Majesty the Emperor said that the Nanming Separation Fire Continent was located.

For this mission, the South China Sea Fleet sent a total of three ironclad ships and a specialized supply ship.

It has been seven years since the founding of the Han Dynasty, and the Han Royal Research Institute has not been idle in the past seven years.

Under the guidance of His Majesty the Emperor, technologies such as generators, internal combustion engines, electric lights, and radios were developed and began to enter the production stage.

As the sword of the Han Dynasty, the Governor's Mansion of the Three Armies was naturally the first place to enjoy these technologies.

Thanks to the availability of electricity, the Navy's supply ships can already carry some food that can be frozen and preserved, and the living conditions of the soldiers have been greatly improved.

"Captain, the Guan Yu sent a telegram that the front is about to arrive in Coconut City."

As a technical talent, Wu Qi's first job on the ship was the head of the telegraph room, and as soon as he received the telegram from the front, he immediately came to the captain's room of the Chen Qingzhi.

The captain of the Chen Qingzhi is Jiang Baolin, who has made great contributions in the naval battle of Taiwan, and he is now in the rank of General Wei.

"Send the order down, prepare to enter the port, let the soldiers get ready, and disembark the ship in batches according to the rotation plan for repair."

"Yes."

The officers in the captain's room all smiled heartily.

Although the living conditions at sea are good, it is certainly better to be able to live on land.

Coconut City is Batavia during the Dutch period, and after being captured by the Han Navy, it was renamed as the Chinese name, Coconut City.

Speaking of Batavia, I'm afraid that the Dutch are now bitter.

In the third year of Yuanwu, on the order of the Han Emperor Liu Ximing, Zhao Jingyong, the commander of the South China Sea Fleet, submitted a war letter to the Dutch.

The Han Dynasty declared war on the Dutch on the grounds that the Dutch had invaded China's traditional territory, and at the same time declared the power of the suzerainty to all regions of Southeast Asia.

The South China Sea Fleet dispatched 3 ironclad ships, 7 3rd class battleships, and more than 50 other frigates and cruisers.

With such a force, let alone the Dutch, even if the whole of Europe is tied together, it can only be abused.

Anthony van Diemen, the governor of the Dutch East India Company, was even more frightened.

Since the Han Dynasty launched its wars of conquest, the pressure on the Dutch in Southeast Asia has plummeted.

While the rest of the Dutchman were all rejoicing, Antony was deeply uneasy.

Through intelligence, he knew that the land area of Dahan was larger than that of the whole of Europe, and the population was as high as hundreds of millions.

Now that Luzon has only a million people, the whole of Southeast Asia has become silent, and Anthony can't believe what it will be like when the Han Dynasty unifies the country.

Unexpectedly, the Dutch under Anthony were very confident, and many people took advantage of Luzon's lack of time to look south to make trouble in Southeast Asia.

The result?

As soon as the big man freed his hand, he was about to start taking revenge on the Dutch.

Anthony originally planned to resist stubbornly, but the moment he saw the South China Sea Fleet, all the courage in his heart vanished.

After a bombardment by the South China Sea Fleet, the walls of Batavia completely collapsed.

The entire Dutch army surrendered even more shamefully.

However, the current Han army is not as easy to talk as before.

After taking Batavia, the South China Sea Fleet further conquered the green and green kingdoms such as Mataran, and in order to win the hearts and minds of the people, the Dutch were used as cannon fodder.

Many Dutch people were either sentenced to death directly or sentenced to life service.

Anthony was also sentenced to life service.

I don't know if he crossed thousands of mountains and rivers to grab money, and now he regrets it.

Because of the many conflicts between the occupation of the island of Java by the Dutch and the indigenous people, this policy was immediately supported by many indigenous people.

The Han army's military operations on the islands such as Coconut City were much smoother.

By the seventh year of Yuanwu, the whole of Southeast Asia had basically been included in the hands of the Han army.

Only Siam, Burma and other peninsular countries still have some rebel forces, but according to Wu Qi, it is only a matter of time before these countries are included in the tributary system.
