Chongzhen went up the steps of the city hall building, and saw Wang Yue striding from the bright building through the floor-to-ceiling glass.

The automatic retractable door opened, and Wang Yue went out of the door to "snap" and saluted: "Minister Wang Yue, I have seen Your Majesty." ”

Wang Zhuo, who was behind Wang Yue, also saluted and said, "Minister Wang Zhuo, I have seen Your Majesty." This is the first time Wang Zhuo has met Chongzhen.

Chongzhen didn't know that there was surveillance, and judging from the Wang brothers' style, it was as if all this had been arranged.

Therefore, Chongzhen's face became even more ugly, he put his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky and said: "I have thrown myself into the net today, what do you Wang Sihua want to do, listen to Zun." ”

Wang Yuexin said: What kind of self-defeating, it's not a matter of minutes for me to take the Forbidden City?

"Your Majesty is laughing!" Wang Yue smiled and looked around, he leaned to the side and said, "This is not the place to speak, Your Majesty, please." ”

Chongzhen said: "Hmph! I want to see what your royal brothers want. With that, he walked into the building.

The hall on the first floor of the city hall building has become a comprehensive visitor reception center because of the moving in of the management committee and the various departments of the Tiance Army, so it is no longer suitable for receiving distinguished guests like Chongzhen.

So Wang Yue wanted to take Chongzhen to the Tiance Headquarters to sit, and Wang Yue's office was also very spacious.

Chongzhen, who took the elevator for the first time, was very curious, so that he temporarily forgot about his own danger, he recognized Arabic numerals, and he couldn't recognize them if he wanted to, and the packaging of goods in the starting point city had Arabic numerals.

Eighteenth floor, this is the floor where the high-level of the Tiance Army is located, Chongzhen entered the office and didn't look at anything else, but first walked to the window and looked out, and the entire starting point city was in full view.

"Your Majesty, please sit here." Wang Yue fiddled with his tea set and made tea for Chongzhen, which was a purple sand gongfu tea set.

Wang Chengen took the princess to be received by Wang Zhuo, and the princess was very well-behaved and knew that her father and Lord Wang had something to talk about.

Gongfu tea is not uncommon in the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen still has this leisure when he is the king of letters, how can he have this leisure time after becoming the emperor?

In fact, Wang Yue's brewing can't be regarded as gongfu tea, so there are not many processes.

Chongzhen had to admit that Wang Yue's office was more luxurious than his imperial study, and he didn't know that the imperial study was just a renovation of the old house.

I didn't see the sword light and sword shadow, there was no out-of-the-ordinary behavior, from Wang Yue's calmness, Chongzhen felt that he might be too worried, but he still asked, "...... those people just now?" ”

Wang Yue smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you misunderstood, those people were sent by ministers to protect you." ”

Chongzhen's heart was relieved at this time, so he was in a much better mood, and he was about to sit down, when he was attracted by a huge world map on the wall.

As an emperor, especially an emperor who has a hard time leaving the palace, he will always be interested in the map, and only from the map can he know how big the country he rules is.

But he had never seen a map of the world before, and these four words alone had an infinite appeal.

"It's... This is Daming? How can it be so small? "Of course it's small compared to the world. China's central country, judging from this map, the Ming Dynasty is not in the center.

Wang Yue walked over and said, "What the emperor said is right, this is Daming." ”

This map of the world is a historical map of the 17th century, and the part of China has been slightly modified according to the real situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty, with the territory of each power represented in color, and the regions outside China in white, and the borders of each country indicated by solid lines.

Chongzhen stared at the position of the Manchu Qing and felt very dazzling: "The territory of the Pseudo-Qing Dynasty is not inferior to that of the Ming Dynasty. ”

The Manchu Qing now possessed the Northeast and Mongol in southern China, and their power had reached Sakhalin, and the Ming Dynasty had lost the Western Regions and had not taken the Western Regions, so it was not much larger than the territory of the Manchu Dynasty.

"I heard that the Tiance army has won many battles in Liaodong, when will Liaodong be taken, Wang Aiqing has a plan?" Chongzhen asked.

Wang Yue smiled and said: "The minister expects to be able to take the entire territory of Liaodong within a year, and set foot on Shengjing." ”

If the Tiance army rushes and fights, ten Shenyangs will also be taken, Wang Yue envisions taking and effectively controlling the northeast, and the Lushun strategy is for this purpose. The Tiance Army does have the ability to fight all the way from Liaodong to Vietnam, and then from Shanghai all the way to the Buda Palace, so what?

Yuan Chonghuan's bold words in the five years of Pingliao once fooled Chongzhen into a cripple, but Wang Yue said that in one year of Pingliao, Chongzhen still firmly believes that how strong the Tiance Army is proved by countless facts.

"I also look forward to the early realization of this wish, on the day of Pingliao, I will make Aiqing Anton Bo in recognition of your merits." Chongzhen Road.

Wang Yue secretly slandered in his heart, he was awarded an earl only after killing the Manchu Qing Dynasty for such a big contribution, and Zhou Kui's old thing got a Jiading Bo just because his daughter was the queen, but he was really embarrassed to say.

In fact, he is not a rare title at all, and his strength is real.

Wang Yue said perfunctorily: "The minister thanked the emperor." ”

Of course, Chongzhen also saw that Wang Yue was not a rare earl, but he could only pretend not to see it. There are too few things that the imperial court can give Wang Yue, and Wang Yue's credit is getting bigger and bigger, so in order not to be rewarded in the future, he can only make careful calculations.

"It turns out that Xiyi is so far away from our Ming Dynasty, and there are so many countries in it, but the area is not large. It is said that the earth we live in is a sphere, and if we pass from the east, we can also reach the west? How is it that there is no country on such a large land in the East? Chongzhen looked at the map with interest.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Ptolemaic theory was introduced into China from Western missionaries under the auspices of Xu Guangqi and compiled into the Chongzhen Almanac of the Ming Dynasty. During this period, Chinese and Western astronomical methods conducted eight calculations and observations and comparisons, and the subtlety of the deferent and epicycle was refreshing. The diligent Emperor Chongzhen accepted the Ptolemaic theory, and he agreed with the theories of the circle of the earth and the heliocentrism.

Wang Yue introduced: "Your Majesty, there are two important civilizations in the world today, one is Western civilization, and its source is in Europe, that is, Xiyi. One is the Eastern civilization, and this source is my Daming. About a hundred years ago, Western civilization surpassed Eastern civilization, and the most intuitive manifestation is that almost the whole world can see the shadow of Westerners. ”

Wang Yue said for Chongzhen: "Look at the surroundings of our Ming Dynasty, Japan has Portuguese, Spanish and Dutch trade here. The southeastern island of Taiwan, once occupied by the Spaniards and the Dutch, was driven out by Wechen just last year. Luzon and Java in the South Seas have become colonies of Westerners, where Westerners are the real masters, and even the Ming Dynasty's Ho Jing (Macau) has become a foothold for the Portuguese. ”
