Chapter 581: A New War
In the spring of the second year of Tianxi, Yao Qisheng returned to the dynasty, and Hou Xuanyan of Jinling canonized him as Kaihaibo in Fengtian Palace.
Hou Xuanyan gave him a set of reckless clothes, and bought a luxurious mansion for him in Jinling, and stayed in the court to enjoy wealth and prosperity.
The imperial court sent six officials to take over the sea territory he had conquered, and with his own strength, he led the Manraka sailors alone to open up such a vast territory, so that the imperial court sent six governors, and Hou Xuanyan picked up this down-and-out scholar on the street, which once again proved the vision of His Majesty the Emperor.
Yao Qisheng, who has lived overseas for a long time, took off his armor and military robe and greeted his family in the palatial mansion.
On the bluestone road in Changganli, a carriage drove slowly, and the curtain was lifted to reveal a somewhat fierce-looking woman.
Yao Qisheng's wife, He, has a square and angular mouth, eyes with a spirit, a large nose with two cheekbones, and bright eyebrows and ears.
When she was in the downtown area, she lifted the stone mortar all of a sudden, and Yao Qisheng was amazed when he saw it, and immediately sent someone to propose marriage.
Mrs. Yao is a female man, she can run a horse on her arms and break stones with her fists, but she looks a little better, and there has been no matchmaker coming to the door, making her father and mother anxious enough.
I didn't expect a showman to come all of a sudden, and he was still a boy from the Yao family with a good family background, which was not a godsend.
After Mrs. Yao passed the door, she was very virtuous and very good to Yao Qisheng.
Now that Yao Qisheng has successfully returned to the dynasty, of course, his wife is indispensable, and Mrs. Yao has also become Mrs. Yao.
"This Jinling is different, the streets are dozens of times better than our style, it really deserves to be the capital of our Dahua."
The maid in the carriage also looked curiously, and at last the carriage stopped in front of a large house, and the groom flicked the whip and exclaimed, "Madame, we are here." β
The group stepped out of the carriage, and Mrs. Yao was stunned and muttered, "This house...."
"Hehe, madam, this is the mansion that His Majesty the Emperor gave to our master."
The rest of the Yao family also got out of the car, and when they heard this, they collectively fell silent, this house... That's great, isn't it?
At this time, the door slowly opened, and Yao Qisheng walked out of it with a smile, and everyone believed it.
Mrs. Yao was so happy that she almost cried with joy, and ran to Yao Qisheng's side after a few steps, so frightened that Yao Qisheng hurriedly took a few steps back and said with a smile: "Madam, don't come unharmed." β
"Master, is this our house? The concubine body is like a dream. β
Yao Qisheng chuckled, with three points of loneliness in his smile, and nodded: "This is the home that Your Majesty gave me Yao Qisheng, thunder, rain and dew are all gentlemen, Your Majesty's imperial grace is mighty, and I, Yao Qisheng, dare not accept it." β
Although Mrs. Yao and his acquaintance were a bit dramatic, but for so many years, they had a heart-to-heart with each other, and soon found that their husband was not very happy, so they put away the excitement on their faces and stole joy in their hearts instead.
Since ancient times, although His Majesty did not hesitate to be knighted, so that the Yao family could enjoy wealth forever, but he also took back his power.
At the beginning of the Nanyang Islands, Yao Qisheng's jurisdiction was no less than the original entire Hua Dynasty, and he had more than a dozen palaces alone, and the pleasure of holding power was not comparable to this house.
Yao Qisheng had this premonition at the beginning, his power was too great, and His Majesty would not allow such a huge force to exist on the frontier of the empire.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for His Majesty's edict to come down.
Yao Qisheng really misunderstood the emperor, and Hou Xuanyan didn't mean this, in his opinion, if overseas countries want to stand on their own, they don't have that condition, they don't have their own financial foundation and a sound military industrial system.
The Manraka sailors were so invincible, but without the support of the imperial court, their gunpowder, guns, and warships would be lost.
Speaking of the Denglai Naval Division, which has the most inconspicuous combat record, is Hou Xuanyan's trump card, they have the best arsenal and training base for naval generals.
Moreover, Yao Yiyao is still producing new weapons, but their position determines that the Denglai Sailor will not have many opportunities to appear.
The reason why Hou Xuanyan recalled Yao Qisheng back to the court was actually for another purpose.
The sacred heart is unpredictable, of course Yao Qisheng doesn't know that there is a hidden secret, and he thinks that his own credit is too great, and he is suspicious of His Majesty, so he will be depressed these days.
Today is the day when the whole family arrives in Jinling, Yao Qisheng took everyone into the courtyard, listening to the exclamation and satisfaction of his family, and the few traces of resentment in his heart slowly faded.
Your Majesty is still benevolent, and he can be regarded as a kind of acquaintance to Yao Qisheng, and he can also die well, what more can a husband ask for.
In the future, it is not a good thing to raise children and grandchildren in this way and enjoy prosperity and prosperity. The generals who have been suspected since ancient times, there are a few who can have such a good end, thinking of this, Yao Qisheng finally untied the knot in his heart, and was happy with his family, Mrs. Yao was secretly happy to see that he had returned to normal.
The cook of the Yao family, in the new kitchen, arranged a table of good dishes, and the family gathered around the table at the beginning of the lantern to enjoy a rare reunion. Yao Qisheng is away all the year round and rarely stays at home, so his heart is a little warm for a while.
At this time, the door outside came in a hurry, tired and panting, lying on the door of the door and shouting: "Master.. Master, a father-in-law came to the palace, saying that he wanted the lord to enter the palace to face the saint, and His Majesty was invited. β
Yao Qisheng stood up suddenly, his gloomy face didn't know what he was thinking, and Mrs. Yao nervously tugged at his sleeve.
"Give me a change of clothes."
----
In the Forbidden City, in the East Warm Pavilion, the candles are bright.
Yao Qisheng, led by the palace people, came to the door, but heard the sound of laughter coming from inside.
Xiao Lizi whispered on the side: "I think it's Miss Ma, adults might as well wait for a while." β
Yao Qisheng hugged his fists and said: "But it's up to my father-in-law to decide." β
There was about half a pillar of incense, Yao Qisheng was very tormented in his heart, and at this time, an impatient voice came from inside: "Why hasn't Yao Qisheng come yet?" It won't take me so long to get from Jiangning to the palace. β
Xiao Lizi said through the door: "Back to Your Majesty, Lord Yao has been waiting outside the door for a long time." β
"Let him in."
Yao Qisheng packed up the official uniform on his body, walked into the room, and saw a young man with red lips and white teeth standing beside His Majesty.
Yao Qisheng didn't dare to look at it more, and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen." β
"Calm down, come, give a seat."
This voice greatly surprised Yao Qisheng's expectations. In his mind, there was a chance that he would be unlucky today.
Hou Xuanyan didn't know what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Over the years, you have made great contributions to me and Dahua in the south, and I have all these in my heart. After working so hard for so long, I should have let you take a break, but the family is here? β
"Your Majesty Xie cares, the minister's family has arrived in Jinling."
"That's good, Jinling is the capital of this dynasty after all, so it's more convenient for everything."
Yao Qisheng hurriedly saluted here, Hou Xuanyan waved his hand, and said: "You have been overseas for a long time, you don't know the rules of the court, I don't like these red tape, especially in this Dongnuan Pavilion in private, you don't have to salute at every turn, otherwise it will take a lot of time to discuss a state affair." β
"Okay, I called you this time because I have something important to arrange for you to do."
Yao Qisheng's eyebrows jumped unconsciously, didn't Your Majesty suspect me, did I think too much?
Yao Qisheng's heart became tense in vain, and his tone became a little higher: "Although Your Majesty orders, Wei Chen is willing to do his best for Your Majesty, and he will not give up." β
Hou Xuanyan said with a smile: "That's not necessary, it's still your old business, our merchants in Dahua have discovered a new continent in the east, which has been conquered by the Yang chieftains." β
Yao Qisheng knew that the so-called foreign chieftain was the name of Spain by the imperial court, because Spain and the Ming Dynasty had the deepest contradictions, so the country was very unlucky to become a "foreign chieftain". The rest of the people are okay, they are all called Westerners or white-skinned people.
"I had no intention of interfering, but the Songjiang Chamber of Commerce jointly signed a letter, bluntly saying that the Chinese merchant ships were attacked by the foreign chieftains over there, which is a naked disregard for me. The old revenge has not been avenged, and the new hatred has come again, I can't do things The foreign chieftain is so rampant, and I, the people of Dahua, suffer such humiliation. I have decided to send a sailor on an expedition, and you will be in charge, how about it? β
Yao Qisheng got up again, knelt heavily on the ground, and said, "The minister will live up to His Majesty's trust!" β
After getting up, Yao Qisheng slowly walked out of the East Warm Pavilion with a solemn look on his face, and walked into the night of Jinling, where the spring was cold.
Hou Xuanyan handed over the nautical charts of the American continent to the Chamber of Commerce, and they really found the Americas and began to take root there.
The arrival of Chinese merchants soon attracted the attention of the Spaniards and Portuguese, who had been developing and colonizing the Americas for a long time, and they all had enmity with the Chinese Dynasty.
The Spaniards, in particular, did not know how many silver ships had been robbed in the South China Sea, and when they saw the arrival of the Chinese merchant ships, they immediately exploded.
The Chinese merchants are not easy to mess with, and they are mixed with a lot of sailors and ships, which is the tradition of Songjiang sailors, who can also earn a good remuneration by training with escorts.
The two sides exchanged fire several times along the coast of the Americas, and each of them suffered damage, and this matter had just been reported back to China, and Hou Xuanyan thought about launching an expedition after seeing it.
At present, the warships of the Chinese Dynasty are basically semi-steam engine ships, that is, half of the power is sails, and they are generally steam engines.
From this point of view, the Chinese army sailors already have the ability to go on expeditions, and now the Chinese army sailors are fighting Spain, the Netherlands, and Portugal, just like a cripple with one leg beating a disabled person without a leg.
To take the Americas is to cut off the lifeblood of Spain and Portugal, and they are bound to collapse. When the time comes, the expedition to the West will definitely have been dug by then, and the day when Hou Xuanyan once said that the establishment of the Doge's Palace in Madrid will not be too far away.
Yao Qisheng didn't expect that he would put on his armor again as soon as he took off his armor, and Hou Xuanyan didn't expect that he would have such a long inner drama when he entered the palace.
Yao Qisheng was given the right to mobilize the Denglai Naval Division and the Songjiang Naval Division, and ordered him to set off as soon as possible, the Americas are full of gold, and if he obtains it late, he is afraid that he will be dug out by Spain.
Spain and Portugal were the first to start the Age of Discovery, but they used their plundered wealth for personal enjoyment. This kind of short-sighted royal family will fall sooner or later, and Hou Xuanyan has always looked at them unpleasantly, because these birdmen are doing some dirty things in the South Seas.
Spain, in particular, has repeatedly provoked the harassment, persecution and even massacre of the Chinese by the natives of Nanyang. Luzon, who took them last time, does not plan to open the net this time.
After Yao Qisheng left, only Hou Xuanyan and the elixir were left in the room.
The elixir in the scholar's costume looked a little slender and slender, and Hou Xuanyan gently tugged it into his arms.
"I look at this Yao Qisheng, how strange is it today, it won't be because I transferred him back from Nanyang."
The elixir put his hands around his neck and said with a smile: "Maybe I thought that Your Majesty was suspicious of him and entered the palace with bad intentions, hehe, in their eyes, Your Majesty is a ruthless king." β
Hou Xuanyan smiled bitterly, pinched her pointed chin, and asked, "What about you, what do you think of me." β
"Your Majesty is a good old man."
If outsiders heard this evaluation of the elixir, they would probably laugh off their big teeth, but in Hou Xuanyan's ears, they had the feeling of a bosom friend.
This is the person who really understands his own heart, Hou Xuanyan commanded the submarine battalion and killed more than 10,000 people.
Liu Zhongzao and Lu Zhenfei robbed the prison, and the rumors in Jiangnan suddenly rose, and Hou Xuanyan once again pulled out the sharp blade of the hidden elephant camp.
In the Qinglong Valley, the headquarters of the Hidden Elephant Battalion lost thousands of corpses.
Later, the officials were corrupt, and Hou Xuanyan killed many corrupt old subordinates in tears.
Who in the world does not say that His Majesty is ruthless and vicious, and the weight of murder is no less than that of Emperor Taizu Gao of the previous dynasty.
But Hou Xuanyan himself knew that he didn't want to kill people, especially Chinese.
No matter what nationality the Chinese are, they are all his compatriots in his eyes.
Every time Hou Xuanyan kills someone, he hopes that there is a chance to remedy it, and only when the hope is completely shattered and the situation is when it is impossible not to kill, he will not hesitate to raise the butcher knife.
has killed so many people over the years, and Hou Xuanyan doesn't think that he is a ruthless person, on the contrary, he still feels that he is very kind, especially soft-hearted.
In April of the second year of Tianxi, Yao Qisheng arrived in Dengzhou, where he met Yao Yiyao, who he had longed for.
Many of his firearms were developed and produced from Dengzhou, and Yao Qisheng knew this very well.
A few warships were simply selected, equipped with the latest steam engines, as well as shipboard artillery and ammunition.
After the first batch of sailor troops was assembled, Yao Qisheng did not panic at all and waited for the arrival of the Songjiang sailor.
At one time, the Songjiang Sailor was the most powerful Sailor of the Hua Dynasty, but now the scale is a little unable to keep up.
The main reason is that there are too few battles in which the Songjiang Naval Division can participate in the battle, but fortunately, this time His Majesty the Emperor personally ordered that the whole army of these Naval Divisions who were about to go out cheered for a while.
On the American continent, there are many ports that have been discovered, and even the Bering Strait in Siberia has become a channel for Dahua's sailors to land on the beach.
The war is about to break out, and this time the focus of the competition is to attack the Americas!
