Just as the welcoming fleet was slowly sailing along the canal towards Luoyang, the eldest princess Kunxing, accompanied by the Duke of Xinguo, began like this......

Outing.

It doesn't matter what it is in name, it's essentially their outing anyway.

In the sea of rape flowers in spring, there is revival of new greenery everywhere, the river thaws, the warbler flies and the grass grows, it is a good season for outing, and in a few days the rainy season will have to step on the mud. Now in the warm sunshine, the Duke of Shinguo rode the black Friesian horse presented by Cromwell, and followed closely by the golden four-wheeled carriage of the prison state, and the two exchanged tenderness and sweetness from time to time, and drove slowly along the newly built Sanhetu road, to the sound of carols on the side of the road......

It's a very pleasant day, too.

If you can return to Nanjing on the same day, you will return and do something you love to do.

Can't return on the same day better said.

As soon as they changed their clothes, the two of them left the escort team and eloped, ah, no, it should be Xinguo Gong to protect the prison country Weifu private visit, microservice private visit is the best, with the protection of a peerless general like Xinguo Gong, there is no need to worry about any accidents on the road, as for where they spend the night......

Do you need to care about this?

The prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty does not close the door at night, and the road is not left behind, so good public security, where can you not spend the night? In fact, many county towns are not closed at night, bandits and other things are long far away, and the development of commerce makes it common for people to enter and leave the city at night, which is nothing more than finding a county or town to live in a hotel. By the way, this also allows the prison to observe the people's feelings, see what are the shortcomings of the people's lives, and what are not satisfied with the imperial court, it is really impossible to find an ancestral hall and set up a tent on the side of the road to solve it! The man who believed in the kingdom was immediately carrying a tent......

Uh, why did he only bring a tent!

Shhh, don't talk nonsense, besides, the prison country sleeps in a tent and the prince of the country is not allowed to guard outside!

In short, these two are completely free of themselves!

As for Nanjing's government affairs, it was completely thrown to the first assistant of the cabinet, but Shi Kefa has also been the first assistant for so many years, this little thing does not need to be kept by the supervisor and the prince of Xinguo, and there is nothing important about the Ming Dynasty at this time.

The first indemnity of the Wa Kingdom had already been delivered, and the Beiyang Naval Division withdrew to the newly built Weihaiwei home port except for six cruisers that continued to patrol between Oki Island and Sado Island. Next, they will undergo a complete overhaul, and after completion, some of them will go south to join the Nanyang Naval Division, and in the future, whether to march into the Strait of Malacca to establish the Longyamen colony, or go to Manila to teach the Spaniards, this is up to Cromwell. The war between England and the Netherlands was imminent, this was already 1650, and the first Anglo-Dutch war in history was two years later, and if Cromwell was not prepared to advance then the Ming army would beat the Spaniards next. If Cromwell advances, then the Ming army will take the opportunity to grab the Dragon's Tooth Gate, and it is estimated that the Dutch will not dare to play a two-front battle in the South Seas, so that they can easily take this vital colony.

As for the Beiyang Naval Division, it is enough to maintain the size of twenty cruisers in the future.

They did not have a large-scale combat mission.

With the opening and closing of the Japanese country, the Kuroshio route was opened, and a few cruiser formations were sent to set sail from Sendai to take the Kuroshio directly to the Americas, or take the Kuroshio tributary to Hawaii halfway.

As for the inside of the Ming Dynasty......

All the forces within the Ming Dynasty are waiting to watch the show!

Longxing Tianzi has a brigade of guards.

Datong bought him 6,000 Japanese slaves, and several ships were sunk by the Ming army on the way to sea, and there should be 5,000 of them who finally reached the mouth of Dagu, and the expedition of the Beiyang Naval Division gave them the opportunity, otherwise at least half of them would have been sunk. The Dutch East India Company has always remained silent about this, and the trespassing of those slave ships into the restricted area was a private act of the captain, and had nothing to do with the East India Company, but hoped that the Ming Dynasty could extradite these smugglers to them. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't extradite, anyway, the East India Company doesn't dare to offend Yang Qing, and likewise doesn't dare to offend their main trading partners, the gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang spent a lot of money, so what is it to sink a few ships for a few dead employees?

The Dutch East India Company was not going to take seriously the garbage they had hired cheaply from Europe.

Those in Taiwan are still digging up guano to this day!

In short, 5,000 Japanese slaves arrived in Tianjin, and then, under the relay of Dolgon and Li Zicheng, they arrived in Chang'an and were trained into an army by those Japanese mercenaries of the Gui Domain, equipped with flintlock pistols made in Guangzhou, and field artillery provided by Li Zicheng, so far they have initially possessed combat effectiveness.

But it's still the Morris phalanx.

After all, the guards of the Gui Clan will do this.

In fact, Li Zicheng has also been transformed into a Morris phalanx there, Zhang Xianzhong's 30,000 new army is also this, but Dolgon still holds the tactics of combining the Spanish phalanx and dragoons, mainly because he has no money, this poor ghost has begun to issue money, what does he use to engage in nearly 50% firearms? He plays cavalry because he has the Mongols behind him, and he has enough war horses, but to engage in industry, he must feed a large number of craftsmen, and mining also needs people, and these people do not produce grain and must be fed by surplus grain, where does he have so much surplus grain? When the war was fought and the economy was fought, the barbarians were immediately exposed.

In short, the Son of Heaven Longxing will not go south alone this time to be slaughtered, he has his own court, his own army, even if it is very small, he is no longer defenseless!

The long-awaited drama is about to begin!

All the forces of the Ming Dynasty are now ready to put up melon seed soda and wait to see a good show.

At this time, you can't save too much trouble.

It must not affect the staging of this big drama.

"They don't know that they're already acting for us on stage!"

Yang Qing lay in the tent and sneered.

This is a small tent made of multiple layers of silk, supported by an iron skeleton, like a semi-circular kennel, with a double layer of white bear skin and velvet cushions underneath to keep out the moisture, and a bonfire burning around it, which is originally a girl's heart inside the pink tent. And the shirtless one was lying inside, next to him was the princess of the prison who was only wearing a belly pocket, the latter was also lying on his stomach, his back curve was fully displayed, one leg was still on Yang Qing's leg, and his bare toes kept gently scratching on Yang Qing's calf......

Uh, they're not afraid to be bothered.

There are two small dogs guarding it loyally!

"What if Li Zicheng establishes Cijiong again?"

Princess Kunxing said.

This may definitely exist, if Yang Qing abolishes Zhu Cijiong, Li Zicheng is likely to accept and immediately set up Zhu Cijiong, continue this kind of extortion, he still has three spare ones, and he doesn't care about Zhu Cihong's ending at all. This is also the reason why Li Zicheng is adding fuel to the fire in the back, anyway, Zhu Cihong is a cannon fodder, it doesn't matter if Yang Qing kills Zhu Cihong, and it is impossible for him to uphold justice for Zhu Cihong.

He's got three spare!

It's enough for him to play until he dies!

But Princess Kunxing's succession to the throne cut off his excuse to continue playing this game, after all, it was useless for him to raise three vassal kings.

He had no emperor to control.

If you want to say that Li Zicheng will swallow this breath, it is estimated that it is unlikely, after all, this is a big business of one million stone grain every year, although Li Zicheng is not short of money now, but who doesn't like food without money? He also has at least five million mouths there, and even if the Guanzhong Bahui project is progressing smoothly, the large-scale promotion of sweet potatoes is nearing completion, and the grain output is increasing year by year, he still needs to purchase three million stone of grain from Jiangnan and Sichuan every year. He does have money, but how long can fifteen million last? Even the transportation consumption, he will have to be sent back to Jiangnan in less than five years, in the final analysis, he has to take money to buy grain, no matter how much silver he has, he is essentially the worst of all forces, all rely on silver to ensure that no one starves to death.

Even with sweet potatoes, it is difficult to support yourself.

Guanzhong Bahui can also irrigate more than one million mu at its limit, in addition, Hanzhong is better, Jinzhong is better, but there are not many irrigation areas in other places, and his population at this time is increasing year by year. Especially in the core area of Guanzhong, the population is gradually recovering, you must know that even in the early years of Wanli, Shaanxi has a population of six or seven million, and at present, there are nearly four million people in this land with the most serious population loss in the Ming Dynasty.

For the sake of a million stones a year, he would never accept this result easily.

"Afraid of what? He didn't dare to really fight! ”

Yang Qing said indifferently.

Indeed, even if Li Zicheng did not accept it, there would be no more 800,000 troops going down to Jiangnan.

He doesn't have the strength anymore!

"You have to know that everything is scum in the face of absolute strength, and now we can theoretically crush all opponents, the only problem is that we are not stable internally, and we can't really work together, so we tolerate their existence. I think it will be easy to recover the northern capital, ten armies can crush Dolgon if they go north, and the current canals and sea transportation are enough to support such a war, but the problem is that I leave Nanjing and go north, and it is difficult to ensure that King Gui and Zhang Xianzhong will not do anything. In the same way, the Donglin Party and the Datong Society will also do things, and the gentry who are only forcibly enduring the slave release order in various places will also take action, even if they cannot succeed, it will also cause Jiangnan to suffer a large-scale chaos.

It even evolved into a civil war.

That's why I tolerate them.

But the new imperial examination system, the new education system, the continuous expansion of the scale of the imperial village, and the gradual relinquishment of the control of the land by the industrial and commercial gentry will gradually weaken the strength of the landed gentry, and when their strength is weakened to the point that they cannot make waves, I can withdraw and clean up these guys.

I'll let you go as far as Han Tang.

I will make you the empress of the most powerful empire ever seen in China, and the empress of the most powerful empire on this planet.

But, you have to be the Empress first!

For your empire! ”

Yang Qing stroked Princess Kunxing's back and said.

"It's your empire, isn't it?"

Princess Kunxing said.

"It's our empire, the empire of our children and grandchildren!"

Yang Qing said with a smile.

After saying that, his hand gently untied the strap on his belly pocket......
