When the old European maritime powers of the Netherlands, Spain, and Portugal were setting in the west, and the emerging countries such as Britain and France had not yet extended their influence to the Far East, Hou Xuanyan took the lead in completing the expulsion of these countries.

With the Chinese Dynasty in their backs, no one could compete with the Han people in this sea area, and neither could the Dutch.

In less than half an hour, Batavia was completely defeated, and Karl didn't even know what was happening outside the city.

The Dutch Governor of the East Indies, who had always been wise and calm, chattered like an old woman, complaining about why Gu En had angered the Chinese army.

The Hua dynasty showed full goodwill, and Yao Qisheng, with the acquiescence of the imperial court, allowed the Dutch to spend money to ransom their officials.

The news spread that the commander-in-chief of the Dutch fleet in India did not intend to come for revenge, and that the Dutch were wise, even if their spice business, which was the lifeblood of Asia, was taken away, and they did not completely lose their minds.

Businessmen know how to minimize their losses, and at this time to fight hard with the Hua Dynasty is to increase losses needlessly, and the Netherlands, which is based on business, will not make such a mistake.

When the Portuguese came to offer to form an alliance with them against the South Seas, the Dutch governor refused him mercilessly, saying, "Have you not found out? The naval battle in the Far East was a game in which a group of sailors fought with a battleship and the Chinese won in the end. ”

When the Portuguese saw that the Dutch were so frightened that they could even give up the Spice Islands, they couldn't help but think about the reasons for this, and finally came to the conclusion that it was not that they did not want to fight, but that they had no chance of winning.

Eventually, the Dutch spent two boatloads of silver to redeem the captives in Batavia, including Karl.

The Hua Dynasty took the East Indies, and the Jinling ministers were completely speechless, and they all went to the table to congratulate them.

Hou Xuanyan also thought that the sea waves had calmed down, and there would be no more foreign chiefs in the near sea, so he agreed to hold a celebration.

Since Hou Xuanyan ascended the throne, the biggest benefit should be those wealthy businessmen who have quietly risen, who are all over the world, holding huge wealth in their hands, and their social status has also risen.

Hou Xuanyan also got a lot from them, such as the unprecedented abundance of the treasury, it is no exaggeration to say that even if various infrastructures are built across the country, roads and bridges are built, schools are built, and foreign expansion and wars are fought everywhere, the country's money is still not spent.

In the sixteenth century, the rise of the Dutch symbolized that the behemoth of capital had just shown its fangs and was about to tear the world apart.

The Netherlands, founded by a group of merchants, became a well-deserved maritime hegemon in just a dozen years.

A few days before the ceremony began, Hou Xuanyan was ready to tame the giant beast of 'capital', build a pair of armor for it and formulate a code of conduct.

In Fengtian Palace, before dawn, a group of diligent little eunuchs had begun to clean the court.

Soon the most important people of the empire will be here to discuss national affairs and govern the country.

Hou Xuanyan got up early in the morning, looked at Huang Ying'er next to her who was still asleep, and couldn't bear to wake her up and tiptoed out of bed, there were already palace maids ready toiletries, soaphorn towels, willow branch ointment, and put on dragon robes after cleaning, the hour was still early, there was no one in Fengtian Palace, Hou Xuanyan walked around excitedly. A few days is a great pilgrimage once every ten days, and it is different from the early pilgrimage in peacetime.

In the Ming Dynasty, such a court honor guard was extremely cumbersome, requiring hundreds of people to open the way, as well as two elephants, a tiger and a leopard, tossing for half a year to be able to discuss political affairs on the three poles of the day.

After Hou Xuanyan ascended the throne, these red tapes were canceled, although now Siam and Burma are all territory of the Chinese Dynasty, it is easy to get a few elephants, and the Siberian tigers in Liaodong have not been eaten as national treasures, but it is really unnecessary to lead this thing to open the way.

And it was originally very tiring to go to court, why do you want to add these bells and whistles, as if you really tame the tiger and leopard is the real dragon, and deceive yourself and others to increase the joke.

When he finished cleaning up, Hou Xuanyan first drove to the Chunhe Palace, and excitedly Hou Xuanyan's mind was full of the formulation of the "Commercial Law", so he naturally woke up very early, but everyone else was asleep, including the elixir.

When I arrived at the Chunhe Palace, the sky was not yet bright, and the huge white jade moon hung in the sky.

The sleepiness of Xiao Lizi's eyelids wiped and he cleverly hid to the side, and Hou Xuanyan strolled into the Chunhe Palace.

The bamboo shadow in the dormitory is mottled, the fragrance of flowers strikes people, and a fragrance is quiet and interesting. The two-storey small building decorated with brocade floors, all the pavilion windows do not use paper paste, nor do they use gauze covers, and all the colors are Western enamel glass.

The little palace maid who fell asleep outside the door, only eleven or twelve years old, was the time to snooze and play, her sleeping posture was very indecent, her white and tender skin was exposed, and she slept soundly in the moonlight. The palace maids in the outer hall had already woken up, busy packing up the morning toiletries, and a grandmother looked up and was surprised to see the holy driver, and hurriedly pulled the palace maid next to her to kneel, and said: "Girl, she stayed up late yesterday and hasn't woken up yet." ”

Hou Xuanyan pointed to his mouth, signaling that they didn't need to speak. A group of palace maids stopped and stayed outside the room, and Hou Xuanyan went directly into the room, gently opened the gauze tent, and sat on the edge of the bed.

Looking down, the elixir wrapped itself tightly in a small quilt, and his hands were still holding the edge of the quilt, pulling and gathering under the jaw, and the neckline was tightly plugged, sleeping peacefully and sweetly.

How bitter the days in the south of the Yangtze River were, and how satisfied they are now, Hou Xuanyan felt compassion and gently stroked a few strands of green silk hanging from her temples.

The elixir eyes seemed to be slightly red and swollen, even more pitiful and cute, slowly opened his eyes, and saw the figure in front of him, a touch of joy was like a clear spring gushing outward, he couldn't hide it, and he coquettishly threw himself into Hou Xuanyan's arms, arching his little head back and forth.

"Master, why are you here?" The elixir that had just woken up from sleep unconsciously used the most familiar name.

Hou Xuanyan breathed a sigh of relief, and said with some embarrassment: "Today's court meeting, I want to overhaul the law, and I am still a little nervous in my heart." Law is the foundation of a country, and I don't know if we will leave too many loopholes in this repair. You must know that once it is enacted, it will affect tens of millions of people. ”

"Do you have something to be afraid of?" Elixir asked suspiciously, in her opinion, her own master is not afraid of heaven and earth, crawling out of the pile of dead people, confronting the Manchu Qing Dynasty, attacking from all sides and occupying all the surroundings to change to Huatu, it is hard to imagine that this kind of person also has something to fear.

Hou Xuanyan wore boots, lay on the bed, crossed his legs and pillowed his hands under his head, glared and said: "Yes, why not, how intimidating is justice and justice, this time we must fix the law!" ”

The last half of the sentence is already to cheer himself up, such a thing as cultivating the law is destined to be a long way to go, and even Hou Xuanyan is a little worried.
