Gao Junshan sighed, following his generals, now they are all old, the years are urging people to get old, and life is like a passerby!

At present, there are 26 provinces in Huaxia, and the generals who control the local armies are all following them for many years, and unconsciously these generals have the intention of retiring, and it is time to promote a group of young generals to replace these veteran generals. Bailisha had already expressed his inability to show him, and although Li Busi didn't say anything, his inaction already showed that he was also old.

To Gao Junshan's gratification, the people in charge of the provincial administrative power are all his Chongwen disciples, who are young and energetic, and they are a generation of knowledge and culture, and they are also a reliable new force of Gao Junshan.

At present, there are 26 provinces in China, of which 13 provinces, namely Shaanxi, Shanxi, Shandong, Henan, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Huguang, Sichuan, Guangdong (including Hainan Island, Hong Kong, and Macao), Fujian, Guangxi, Guizhou, and Yunnan, were set up by the Ming Dynasty.

The newly established provinces of the Huaxia State included 13 provinces: Xinjiang, Western Xinjiang (the whole of Siberia and part of Russia in later generations), Yuzi (the entire Kazakh region in later times), Mongolia, Qinghai, Ningxia, Taiwan (including the Ryukyus, Hirado, and Kyushu Islands), Jiaozhi, Donghu, Tibet, Liaoning, Jilin, and Heilongjiang.

The territory of the last thirteen provinces greatly exceeded the territory of the first thirteen provinces, which means that the Huaxia State occupied almost the entire Asian territory, and almost all those that were not occupied became the vassal states of the Huaxia State.

At present, the vassal states of the Huaxia State are: Korea, Champang, Nanzhang, Siam, Gorkha, Zhemengxiong, Kokand, Kazakhstan, Andijan, Margalang, Namgan, Tashkent, Badakshan, Borol, Afghanistan, Khamjuti, Johor, Perak, Jincheng, Kedah, and Songzhou.

Persia was a staunch ally of the Chinese state.

India is jointly administered by China and the United Kingdom.

There is also the South Seas within the boundaries of Asia that is not fully controlled.

Gao Junshan's trip to Manchester City this time was to solve the Nanyang problem. Luzon, Sulu, Brunei, the Malay Peninsula, Aceh, Sumatra, Banten, Mataran, Timor, New Guinea, Solomon, and Australia must all be included in the territory of China.

……

Gao Junshan's fleet traveled from Lijiang to the Lancang River, then to the Mekong River, and then to the Chao Phraya River, arriving at its destination at 10 a.m. on June 3, 1656, in Manchester.

The mayor of Manchester, Marven, personally led a group of civil and military personnel from Yamen to greet him at the pier.

Five steam-engine steamers sailed into the Golden Bucket Pier in Manchester City, which is a river terminal, and Marven had already transferred the nearby ships and the ships that were about to enter the port to other docks in advance, so there were no other idle people on the Golden Bucket Pier.

Gao Junshan's "Xiangyang No. 13" steamship was the first to enter the wharf, and the steamer, under the guidance of the navigator, slowly approached the No. 5 pier, and when it approached the wharf, the steam engine stopped running, and the sailors were busy throwing various cables to the shore so that the ship could stabilize.

Han Yuyan's seasickness has been greatly alleviated under the treatment of the imperial doctor, she has been able to move with Ji Ya and Su Yena, early this morning, she was ready to be the first to rush off the boat, the seasickness experience on this ship made her taste enough.

Marvin held a brief welcome ceremony on the pier, and after the ceremony, a banquet was held at the Royal Restaurant in Manchester City to welcome Gao Junshan and his party.

At the Royal Restaurant, Gao Junshan gave a speech before the banquet: "I have only been away from Manchester City for more than a year, and in this little or so year, Manchester City has undergone earth-shaking changes. I saw the changes on both sides of the Chao Phraya River on the steamer, and the biggest change was that there were more ships on the Chao Phraya River than before, and there were merchant ships and tourist boats, shuttling back and forth endlessly. I saw at Jindou Pier that Manchester City's marina is developing very quickly and is being built on a large scale. High-rise buildings are being built on both sides of the Chao Phraya River, signaling the prosperity and development of the metropolis of Manchester. This is my first impression of Bangkok, it is a very good impression, it is the result of the hard work of all of you here, I hope you will continue to work hard to build Manchester City into a glorious metropolis; I wish you good health and all the best! Let's raise our glasses and toast to you Manchester City! ”

After Gao Junshan finished speaking, he raised his wine glass and signaled to everyone, and then dried up the wine in the cup, and at the banquet, everyone raised their wine glasses and immersed themselves in a sea of joy.

Marven sat next to Gao Junshan, and after a tour of wine, Marven said to Gao Junshan: "Father, we have already arranged that you and your mother will stay in this royal restaurant tonight." ”

Gao Junshan said: "Your three queen mothers don't live here, they will go directly to Pattaya after the banquet, Li Hu has already arranged their itinerary, you don't have to worry about it." ”

"Father, aren't you going to Pattaya?"

"I won't go, I'll stay here for a few days and then I'll go to Yangon." Steep mountain trails.

Marven asked again: "Father, are you in such a hurry to go to Yangon?" ”

Gao Junshan said: "Didn't Dabao go to the UK?" It's not okay if there is no one here in Nanyang. The problem of the island nation has come to an end for the time being, and I want to set off stormy waves in this South Sea. ”

Marven said: "The boy has also received an order that we will go to war with the Dutch. ”

Gao Junshan said: "This will wait for the results of Dabao's negotiations with the British before we can decide the time for us to start the war." ”

Marven reported to Gao Junshan: "Dabao has arrived at the port of Bushehr in the Persian Gulf. ”

"So fast?" Gao Junshan was a little unconvinced.

Marven said: "Ma Jin sent me a telegram, Da Bao is already at Ma Jin's Combined Fleet Command, Ma Jin suggested, he followed Da Bao to drive the battleship to London. ”

Gao Junshan thought for a while and said, "It's okay to let Ma Jin go with you, you can show the British the strength of our navy." ”

……

After the banquet, Gao Junshan asked Li Hu to accompany the three queens and princesses to Pattaya for a vacation, Li Hu is the leader of the Cao Gang, and now the power of the Cao Gang has developed to the Nanyang side, and his people have grown from 100,000 to 400,000, of course, this is allowed by Gao Junshan, the Cao Gang is a local force on the surface, and the boss is Gao Junshan in essence.

Manchester City is stationed with a division of the 10th Army Corps, which is already a logistics supply depot for the naval fleet, because their garrisons are not in the city center, so Marven arranged for Gao Junshan to settle in this Royal Restaurant.

This restaurant is actually a hotel controlled by the city yamen, which is specially used by Marven to receive dignitaries, and the security here is very good, Gao Junshan lives here, so you don't have to worry about security.

Despite this, Li Derong still took over the security of the entire restaurant, and he brought 200 Royal Forest Army, together with a guard battalion arranged by Marven here, to jointly protect the safety of Gaojun Mountain.
