When Zhang Qiang received the news in Yanjing, he had two messages in a row, one was the military intelligence department's information about the Dutch and the British, Zheng Jing, as well as the Ryukyu Kingdom, Zheng Zhi, the Xinlu War and the superficial military information after the war, and the other was the news of the military intelligence department that had been dormant for a long time.

Zhou Congee said: "It depends on the situation, this Nanyang is still very chaotic, although we have been beaten by others for a while, but in general we are not suitable to move troops in Nanyang, we have cleaned up the last colonies of the British and Dutch, Malay, Malacca, blocked the enemy's passage to the west, now the enemy is already a grasshopper after the autumn, jumping can not be much higher, there is no need to move more, our current main force is still to attack Central Asia, connect South Asia and Southeast Asia, step up the elimination of where the aliens, immigrants Han, with a population, where to occupy, In the future, where will be our land, the emperor will expand the territory, and we will really be the Chinese Empire in the future. This territory can be reached by no one except Datang. ”

Li Dingguo touched his beard and said: "Yes, this time when the Nanyang war is over, our energy will be freed up, and then we will attack the Nanyang, when the enemy is tired, the population is decreasing, and the combat power is lacking, but it is the time when our soldiers are going, and it is easier to achieve the goal, and then we will expand the territory for thousands of miles, and the entire east will belong to our lord, all of which will belong to the Chinese Empire, and the empire will not worry about it in the future." ”

Mi Chun, as the head of the deputy prime minister, is also very happy at this time, although Yanjing has become the new Beijing division, he was arranged to stay in Jinling Mansion, the position of deputy prime minister, the position of power is somewhat weakened, but he is still happy, he can not always be in the center, as the second deputy prime minister Tang Dianfeng smoothly became the first vice prime minister, and he became the third vice prime minister after Li Dingguo, the things he dealt with were just some things in the southwest and southeast, in fact, he had become the actual position of governor of the five southwestern provinces.

Since Tang Dianfeng came to Yanjing, he has always been in contact with Zhou Congee, and often reports government affairs in front of Zhang Qiang, and has become the new magnate of the Chinese Empire, not a second assistant who accompanies Mi Chun, yes, the officials who came from Daming still call him a second assistant in private, and they are still attached to Daming.

After Tang Dianfeng, Li Guo and Li Guangdi were promoted to deputy prime ministers, assisting Zhou Congee to manage the government, the cabinet, one on behalf of the old Dashun department, the other on behalf of the original Ming forces, also expressed Zhang Qiang's trust in the original Ming officials, so that the original Ming officials returned to the empire, many capable Ming officials were re-promoted and served as prefects and prefects in various places, but the old Dashun department was because they were mostly martial artists in the past, so they had a lot of power in the army, but they could not enter the ranks of civilian officials, There was strong reinforcement in the court, and Zhang Qiang did this to give the old department of Dashun and the old people of the Ming Dynasty some thoughts, and also balanced the power of the court.

Yao Qisheng: Some former Qing officials who surrendered to the Chinese Empire after Yao Qisheng became the deputy prime minister also sincerely surrendered to the Chinese Empire, and a group of Qing officials who had been captured before but did not do much evil deeds and were willing to return to the ranks of the Han people also re-emerged from the mountains and held some official positions in the Advisory Bureau and the Advisory Bureau, and some took the initiative to join the ranks of the wasteland reclamation team and went to the newly opened places to serve as magistrates, so that the Chinese Empire integrated the forces of all the previously hostile forces, and the Chinese Empire reached its peak at this moment.

The government is harmonious, and all parties are united.

The fleet that had been dispatched to the South Seas was discussed by everyone, and felt that it was not appropriate to act rashly before the enemy had decided the victory or defeat, so they withdrew the original capital ships of the fleet and returned to the station, leaving only 56 warships and more than 50 frigates, and the remaining more than 100 warships and frigates returned to the station, and watched the East China Sea, the Yellow Sea, the Gulf of Siam, the Qiongzhou Bay and other places, although the original 5,000 nautical miles of coastal defense shrank to the original more than 1,000 nautical miles of coastal defense, but avoided the battlefield where the Dutch and the British, Zheng Jing and others were fighting. lest they be surrounded by the enemy's large fleet and broken by the enemy individually.

Palawan strengthened 20 frigates, the original 36 warships were transferred back to Palawan, 48 frigates were left to guard Palawan, and the rest were transferred to patrol around the small islands of the Indonesian archipelago, and the additional frigates also joined the patrol ranks to closely monitor the enemy's movements.

The fleets were replenished with one or two new warships, five or six new frigates and ocean-going patrol ships.

The royal fleet rushed back to Yanjing and Bohai Bay to garrison to cover the territory occupied by Liaodong and prevent the Japanese and Qing naval divisions from raiding the Jingshi and Liaodong lands.

Jinling Mansion was escorted by 20 frigates of the Royal Fleet, plus 20 frigates of the Yangtze River Garrison Division, as well as the original three new warships, the Huaxia and the new Liaodong, as well as the Jinling.

In this way, there were 86 main warships and 120 frigates deployed in the Nanyang area, which was enough to resist the invasion of the enemy's larger fleet.

While watching the movements of Zheng Jing and the Dutch and the British, the Huaxia Army continued its westward expedition and immigration, mobilizing a total of nearly one million soldiers and horses, and 20 million immigrants to West Asia and other places, while Liaodong had the original remaining 1 million Japanese people, 800,000 Nanyang indigenous people, 100,000 Japanese servant troops, 80,000 Southeast Asian indigenous servant troops, 3 million Han people, 300,000 recruits stationed in various places, 100,000 veterans, and field troops stationed in various places to prevent the attack of the Qing army.

Arranged in this way, and then look at the Ryukyu Kingdom, two expeditions, two failures, so that the strength of the Ryukyu Kingdom has decreased a lot, nearly 1,000 old wooden warships and warships purchased from the First Fleet, the Second Fleet, and the Third Fleet of the Huaxia Army, armed merchant ships, merchant ships, wear and tear, only less than 100 returned, and the wealth accumulated by the Hongtian Cannon shrank to 20 million overnight, and nearly 60 million Chinese dollars were lost.

The loss of the population and the servant army reached one million, Hong Tianpao was in pain, and he also lost Zheng Zhi, the creditor, he had no place to collect debts, and couldn't help but scold Zheng Zhi and Zheng Jing in the palace, and even scolded the Dutch and the British, when the Dutch and the British, Zheng Jing colluded, he was even more furious, and sent someone to send a letter to Xinlu with a clipper, informing them that Zheng Jing had colluded with the Dutch and the British to fight Xinlu.

I wanted to gather soldiers and horses to recapture Manila Island again, but I found that the troops were insufficient, the servant army was gone, and the pure Han troops were mostly weak and did not want to fight.

The two defeats made his rule a little unstable, although the naval division still had 400 large and small warships, but no one wanted to fight, and on the other hand, Japan also threatened Risheng, and repeatedly sent troops to the Ryukyu Kingdom to harass Jeju Island, and there was a great posture of not giving up until Jeju Island was recaptured, so Hong Tian Cannon had to place heavy troops on Jeju Island, and put a fleet of 30 warships, 50 warships, and 100 armed merchant ships to protect Jeju Island.

He was unable to attack, but Zheng Jing was full of ambition and returned to Australia with a large army, followed by the Dutch and the British.

This time has been three months, a month of rest, the three in Darwin, Australia to discuss how to send troops, New Zealand received a reminder from the Hong Tian cannon, and also sent personnel to investigate, the news of the return is indeed very surprised, the former allies, in the blink of an eye, with the former enemy to kill the door.
