One sentence represents the voice of Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, then it must be that men are all big pigs' trotters!

For more than ten days, for this Tianhai Prefecture that Mao Jue personally sealed to him, Li Dingguo couldn't eat and couldn't sleep at night, on the one hand, he was afraid that this Tianhai Prefecture would suffer a disaster, so he and his subordinates would be sealed to a dangerous position in Yungui, and the enemies on all sides would be cannon fodder, but it should be postponed? He is still a little reluctant, who doesn't want to be the emperor of the soil?

This apprehension lasted until the core of his command, more than 8,000 people, was also transported down the Yangtze River to Jiangnan by the military headquarters, and a map of Tianhai Prefecture was promulgated to him.

Good fellow, although this place is not on the front line of Yunnan, it is not as good as Yunnan, Sun Monkey is a somersault of 108,000 li, he was spent 108,000 li by a pole, and was thrown to the New World on the other side of the sea, his Tianhai State is located in a narrow strip of land on the Pacific coast of North America, and a few hundred kilometers to the south is the Mexican colony of the Spaniards.

Fortunately, this era has a shallow understanding of the New World is not the monsters all over the North Juluzhou, and it is also the tracking report of the public opinion media, so that a new North American continent appears in people's eyes, there are indeed fierce and tenacious indigenous savages, with huge black bears and wild boars, but there are also dense forests, clear rivers, fertile fields, and most importantly, there are many rich mineral deposits, Li Dingguo went to Tianhai Prefecture, there is a big gold mountain in the territory, It is said that it has been mined by the local natives for hundreds of years and is still in a continuous stream, so it is named San Francisco.

The advantages and disadvantages here coexist, first of all, it is barbaric, and there is no need to run, but a mountain of gold is enough to maintain the military expenditure of thousands of people, eat, drink and Lazar, and when it comes to the New World, Li Dingguo's Ministry will not be feared by the empire, but can also enjoy the full support of the empire, and there is the scope of Haitian Prefecture, and the military department has not demarcated, only two arrows have been drawn to him to the east and south, to see his Li Dingguo's ability, how big he can expand, how big his Tianhai Prefecture is.

More than half a month has passed since the glorious sacrifice of prisoners, and in addition to the four ironclad ships that are still being raised in the locks for refurbishment, which can attract people's attention from time to time, the life of Hangzhou City has returned to the plain and fast of the past; by the harbor, more than a dozen galleons are blowing in the sea breeze, the bells are jingling, a new set of military uniforms are mixed up, and the San Francisco Corps of Li Dingguo's department, which is also issued with bayonets and flintlock pistols, is confused and reluctant to board the galleon.

The army has the family members of the old battalion, and the Great Western Army also has it, one by one, just out of the middle of the Sichuan, the old and young women and children with the burden are following the trembling boarding of another boat, the recent official army regained Jiangxi Liangguang, these three provinces in the Ming Dynasty are all poor areas, the land is barren, and the business is still withering, with the family members of the Great Western Army, there are many immigrants from these three provinces full of new hopes, and they are lined up there together, plus a piece of almost 30,000 people, this is Li Dingguo's capital.

boarded the ship early, Li Dingguo himself was standing at the stern of the boat and looking at the sea in a daze, his head was completely occupied by another thing at this time, before leaving, Song Xiance, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, quietly mentioned to him, the prince is also in the New World!

Smart people point through in one sentence, Li Dingguo is difficult to be reused in Mao Jue, because of the lack of trust brought by loyal cooperation, but the prince is now a light commander who lacks major generals, he Li Dingguo goes, he will definitely be reused, and the prince will be served well, and the prince will be enthroned as the new emperor in the future, he is also a close minister, and he can show his head.

The more he thought about it, the hotter he became, his fist squeezed heavily, and Li Dingguo turned around and eagerly ran back to his cabin to plan, but coincidentally, he, the Marquis of Zhengdong, had just left, and there was obviously a little chaos among the immigrants queuing below.

"Hey, who are you? Who told you to cut the line? ”

Several Hakka fellows shouted angrily, but they squeezed into the team, and two young scholars wearing brocade robes and carrying large suitcases with wheels were smiling, and actually grabbed a handful of toffee from the package and dispersed it.

"Uncles and uncles, help, Xiaosheng and his fellow villagers are separated, a little ahead of the line, so that you can find some! Wait and wait! ”

The hearts of the people in this era are still simple, seeing him explain this, the anger of several Hakka fellows has also dispersed, while eating sugar, and he also started a homely meal, this position is already very high, without chatting a few words, they also climbed the sailboat along the long boarding ladder, leaning on the deck, looking at a carriage parked in the VIP area by the harbor, more than a dozen imperial guards like headless flies, sweating around, this young man in a pair of bright eyes, But he couldn't help but show a sly gaze.

In the creaking and creaking of trivial tools, the heavy soft and hard sails were pulled high by the sailors' shouting trumpets, and in the face of the sea breeze that happened in the morning, fifteen galleons formed a long formation, and headed straight to the north, starting the journey of the new continent.

.........

A red sun is rising in the east, but for the west, it is nothing more than a low twilight.

From its formation to its voyage around the hemisphere, the Western Combined Fleet set off from Lisbon, Spain, and sailed around the African coast for half a year before arriving in Southeast Asia, but in the anticipation of the kings and the Pope, it was the bad news that the whole army was defeated, and there were 200 capital ships and nearly 1,000 large and small support ships when they set off, but only one-fifth of them returned home, and for a time, Europe was also boiling.

In September 1654, the Pope of Rome personally appeared, which was an unprecedented European Union Assembly, held in Marseille, France, where the Catholic Holy Roman Empire, Austria, Hungary, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Protestantism, Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands, Belgium, Saxony, Armenia, etc., almost all gathered together.

In the Marseille Palace, the romance and luxury of the French are vividly exerted, the walls are carved into various bright lines by mosaics, the corners of the walls are placed with nude beauties from ancient Greece, beautiful glass flower headlamps are hung high on the head, and the large banquet tables are all covered with fine white silk, fresh seafood from the Mediterranean and grain-fed beef from local estates, and delicacies are served one after another, but the protagonists in this luxurious banquet are more than one less interested.

At this time, the French court minister Richelieu has been dead for a few years, and the successor palace minister Cardinal Mazarin, although he is not a mediocre talent, but he is obviously not strong to the extent of Richelieu, at this time, he is bent on saving his own domestic crumbling interests, watching a group of guys with knives and forks in the Marseille minor tune to take care of their stuffy heads and eat, I can't help it, the new palace minister is the first to stand up with a wine glass.

"Gentlemen! The devastating blow of the Combined Fleet in the Far East was a foregone conclusion, but the matter was not over, and many of you here had fallen into the hands of the barbaric Westerners, and the nobles did not deserve to be humiliated, and the French proposed that a joint mission should be formed quickly and sailed to the East to negotiate peace with the Orientals! ”

The captive Prince Condé of France is the uncle of the young French King Louis XIV, the backbone of the royal family's suppression of the aristocracy, without him, the Empress Dowager Anne from Austria and his own palace minister are all shaky in power, and from his own interests, he urgently needs to welcome back Condé.

But before he could say this, the Duke of Palamisson, who was negotiating on behalf of Spain, threw his fork in anger, slapped the table and jumped up, pointed at Mazarin's hooked nose and roared.

"How can a crusade against the infidels, initiated by my father himself, end with a compromise with the infidels? This time the Duke came, thinking that he was going to continue the armament of the army, but he did not expect that hearing your blasphemous words, you should be thrown into the fire of the Inquisition! ”

The Duke of Paramisson's expression was a representative of the contemporary fanatics, but his words drew contempt from the representatives of several other Catholic countries, and caused an uproar among the representatives of the Protestant countries.

Who doesn't know, the rise of the Ming Dynasty, the Spaniards are the biggest victims, lost Luzon, so that its Asian trade first shrank, and had to spend a lot of money to borrow from the Netherlands, go to Batavia, which can exchange the gold and silver of the Americas in India, Central Asia for enough goods, back to Europe to sell, and now the Dutch Batavia is also lost, according to the bad relationship between Spain and the Ming Dynasty, it is almost completely excluded from the big cake of oriental trade, even if Spain has experienced a big defeat, the whole country is still full of battles, and the interests are at stake!

But for the Catholic realms of the Holy Roman Empire, there are no ports, and the seafaring trade is a zero for them, so it is none of their business.

And the Duke of Palamison slapped the face of those Protestant countries with a sentence about the Inquisition, the offspring of the short-tempered Vikings, the Duke of Swedish Sals simply smashed the cup directly on the face of the Duke of Spain, and the lion roared angrily: "Hypocritical and ugly fellow, stealing God's right to enslave others, you Spain and the Spanish Inquisition are the ones who deserve the most hell!" In the name of God, this duel will fight you! ”

Don't think that the nobles are more educated, they were splashed with wine, and the Duke of Salamison, who was also born in the army, also blushed and threw the plate over with a thick neck, and the thugs in the market jumped to their feet and scolded: "Duel is a duel, this duke is afraid that you will not succeed!" ”

The two of them pulled the collar, in the palace of the French, Ding Ding Bang did it first, this scene is really peculiar, some of the envoys of various countries representing various interests applauded loudly, some carefully pulled the frame, and some also made the stumbling block make a trick, adding fuel to the fire, it was originally a conference to discuss how to deal with the Ming Empire, but the West took the lead in fighting a pot of porridge.

However, no one noticed that the Dutch envoy, who had been the most active in the organization, was not present at this conference.

And this time, the Dutch envoy is actually Mao Jue's old acquaintance, Sir Curt, the bankrupt Dutch East India Company!

The old guy is really legendary, he was released from Batavia, and he was entrusted by the Dutch Metropolitan Assembly with the important task of negotiating on behalf of the Netherlands.

However, at this time, Curt was not in Marseille at all, but actually appeared in Paris, France.

At the Paris Opera House in the dark night, the tragedy of the British opera writer Shakespeare "King Lear" was sung highly, but several French nobles in the box were obviously absent-minded, even if the heroine was executed by the British army The sad scene, several richly dressed guys were expressionless, until the door creaked and was suddenly pushed open, and the two French nobles with swords on their waists suddenly grabbed their hands on the handle of the pistol and looked at the past vigilantly.

Looking at Curt's old face under the faint stage light, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately sat down in the innermost, an old French man with an extraordinarily long beard hurriedly closed it, welcomed him in, and before he could sit down, another young and reckless French nobleman with a sword on his shoulder asked impatiently.

"What is the opinion of the Netherlands?"
