After the Battle of the Pacific, the Ming navy swept across the eastern and western islands of the American continent, drove all Europeans except Portugal back to Europe, and basically pacified the Americas.

The Spaniards couldn't do this at the beginning, but the Ming Navy did it because of its strong strength.

Subsequently, the vassal states began to expand their territories on land and divide their own territories. And Sun Chuanting's mission to the Americas was almost completed, so he turned back to Daming.

On the American continent, Zheng Zhilong commanded the fleet for the time being, and also returned to the Pacific side, continuing to build several key ports to facilitate the stationing and rotation of the Ming navy.

Of course, there is also a navy on the other side of the Atlantic, but this navy patrols the north and south.

Therefore, when João IV's messenger for help arrived on the American continent, he did not encounter the Ming fleet and rushed to the Brazilian side.

Anders has seen it, but he has newly expanded the colony here, and there are not many Portuguese in the first place, and now it is even more stretched. Therefore, he had to ask for help from the Ming army.

But Zheng Zhilong is only a military general, and the matter of going to Europe is a major matter related to both military and political aspects, which is beyond Zheng Zhilong's authority. If it's only on the American continent, then it's okay, but not in Europe, and you need to wait for the arrival of the new governor of the Americas.

On the side of the major vassal kings, they have this right to decide independently. But they're expanding their territory on land, and who cares what you do with the Portuguese in Europe.

And just like that, the call for help didn't go well. However, Zheng Zhilong, for the sake of the crown princess, still gathered a part of the fleet and went to the Atlantic side to assemble. It was promised that as soon as the new governor of the Americas arrived, he would be able to issue orders from the land horse, saving time for rescues.

However, as soon as the Ming fleet arrived on this side of the Gulf of Mexico, the bad news came that Lisbon had fallen and that João IV's family had been killed in battle.

In addition to his grief and indignation, Anders wrote a letter to the Ming Emperor, asking for revenge for Portugal. At the same time, it is natural to report to Catherine.

……………………

All these things, Emperor Chongzhen didn't know at first. It wasn't until Anders learned the news that he learned about it from Anders' Class A eavesdropping seed.

At this time, he had already taken the train back to Guannai. After combining the news from Jingshi's side, Emperor Chongzhen already had an idea in his heart.

In the middle of May of the 33rd year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen finally returned to Beijing after a lapse of four years.

For Emperor Chongzhen's expedition, the people of Beijing have become accustomed to it. But this time, they had already heard that the emperor had destroyed the Persian Empire, and they were in a sensation.

For the people of the Ming Dynasty, Persia was far more famous than the Mughals. Even Persia, which was far away in the sky, was destroyed by the emperor, and feeling the incomparable strength of the Ming Dynasty, they were of course proud, and they flocked out of the city one after another, wanting to see the emperor's demeanor. I haven't seen this in years!

The queen and the crown prince, of course, also led the civil and military officials to the railway station outside the capital city to greet them. This time, even Princess Taiping and his wife came.

After welcoming the emperor, the queen and the crown prince didn't have time to speak, and Princess Taiping, who was beside them, couldn't wait to play to Emperor Chongzhen: "Father, the daughter invented that yellow explosive, really, the daughter invented that yellow explosive......"

The power of this explosive is really unexpected, far more powerful than the best ratio of black powder. With this new explosive, it is foreseeable that the enemies of the Ming Dynasty will tremble.

However, after the success of the experiment, because it was under the strict protection of Jinyiwei, this result was not announced, and even the prince did not know about it.

At this time, I saw Princess Taiping's ecstatic appearance, and for a while, I forgot about Princess Taiping's arrogance, and I was a little curious about what kind of yellow explosives it was, is it amazing?

The explosion before the princess's mansion, of course, they knew about it. However, the more detailed things, because of the Jinyi guards directly under Emperor Chongzhen, they don't know.

At this time, when Emperor Chongzhen heard it, he smiled and said, "I know!" This new explosive, named Taiping explosive, hopes to deter the enemies of the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time transform the Ming Dynasty for the benefit of the people! ”

Compared to the princess and the colt, of course, the princess is stronger. Naming the invention of the couple with the title of the princess, no one can say anything.

When Princess Taiping heard this, she thanked her with joy. But at this time, she was far from knowing the power of yellow explosives!

Compared with Princess Taiping, the prince has been much calmer, after all, the age is here, first greeted Emperor Chongzhen for his hard work, and then briefly said what he was responsible for. Including the continued improvement of ironclad battleships, as well as the application of electricity, etc., he just said briefly, and he prepared a piece of music for the specific details.

Emperor Chongzhen drove back from the expedition and worked hard, so he went back to the palace to rest first.

With the return of Emperor Chongzhen this time, the relevant news also spread.

The hottest news is still Li Laiheng's steel seventh battalion. Of course, this is the result of Emperor Chongzhen letting the factory guard guide. He needs to use the steel seven battalions to cast the soul of the Ming army and set an example for other armies.

It can be said that Li Laiheng was able to come back now after he went out with the car, but he became above all the generals on the Jingshi side. Not only is he a gang Zhenbo, but he also has a separate title of the Seventh Battalion of Gang, which is a unit commended by the emperor Chrysostom, even if it is He Renlong and others before, although he is knighted, it is not as good as his scenery.

Li Guo was even more emotional, and when he was drinking with Li Laiheng in private, he said to him: "Who would have thought that you who were a hairy boy back then have now become the most glorious general of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Li Laiheng back then, ranked below Li Dingguo, was a junior figure among the thieves and generals. But now, through his own efforts, he is the most glorious one. This made Li Guo, who was the main force when he was in the thief army, not feel emotional.

When Li Laiheng heard this, he didn't hide his happiness, raised his glass and said to Li Guo: "It's not that I don't want to lose face, so I can only play with my life and repay the emperor's kindness!" ”

"Yes, the emperor's kindness has changed us!" Li Guo listened and nodded. thought in his heart that if he changed his position in Li Laiheng's original position, he would never escape.

………………

Not to mention their feelings, let's just say that after Emperor Chongzhen rested for a day, he held a family banquet and brought the family together.

After so many years outside, the crown prince has married Catherine and gave birth to a son.

At the family banquet, Catherine held her son and saluted Emperor Chongzhen.

Here, she knows better than anyone here how powerful Emperor Chongzhen's imperial expedition is. Because the people on the Ming side don't have any impression of the Ottoman Empire, but she is different. Although Portugal was still far from the Ottomans, the whole of Europe was shrouded in the shadow of the Ottoman Empire.

If the Ottoman Empire had gone west, the European countries that had fought each other would immediately put aside their grievances and unite to defend against the Ottomans. Including the battle of Vienna that will not happen again in this plane, this is the case.

Therefore, Catherine knows best that Emperor Chongzhen went on this expedition, but he wiped out more than 400,000 troops of the Ottoman Empire in a row, and almost crippled the Ottoman Empire.

In the face of such a powerful emperor, she was extremely respectful.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't care about her attitude, but hugged this Chinese-Western mixed-race child, and saw that he was still "ahhh ”

When the crown prince Zhu Cihong saw that his father seemed to be very emotional about this son, of course he was also happy, so he hurriedly replied.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he did not interfere, but muttered for a while, and then said to the prince and his wife: "This grandson will be the king of Portugal in the future!" I'll help him. ”

The sudden sentence of "......" made everyone stunned.

Even if it's this little guy's turn to be crowned king, it's not here, let alone to replace the king of Portugal, that's not appropriate, right?

While they were still thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen's expression became serious, and he said to Catherine: "I received news two days ago that Spain had sent troops to destroy Portugal with the cooperation of traitors. Your father and his two younger brothers were martyred. ”

This news, like a thunderbolt from the blue, hit Catherine's head at once. The others didn't feel much about it, and could only sympathize with Catherine. At this time, they understood why the emperor said that this grandson should be the king of Portugal.

Catherine stayed for a long time, and Emperor Chongzhen didn't call her, and the others didn't speak.

When she came back to her senses, her eyes were red, and she immediately knelt on the ground and asked Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, I want to join the army, destroy Spain, find out the traitor, and personally avenge my father." ”

Is this the rhythm of Catherine in Heroes of Invincible who begins to lead her troops to fight? I don't know why, this thought suddenly flashed in Emperor Chongzhen's mind at this time.

"Yes, I'm ready!" On the surface, Emperor Chongzhen was still very serious, nodded and said.

In this way, Portugal can be regarded as half a master. Even according to the customs of the Ming Dynasty, it is equal to most of the Ming Dynasty, after all, this is the son of the prince. For the Portuguese, with the blood of João IV, it is reasonable to be their king on the premise that the family is destroyed.

In this way, it is equivalent to the Portuguese colonies, including Portugal proper, and Spain, which will be destroyed in the future, are all vassal states of the Ming Dynasty!

Speaking of vassal kingdoms, Emperor Chongzhen came back this time with another purpose, that is, to divide all the remaining vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty. On the American side, as well as Australia, New Zealand, etc., they all have to be occupied.

Today's Daming already has the ability to partially transform nature.
