The scholars who supported the Ming court were gone, Datong was much calmer, the Constituent Assembly finally began to do serious things, Li Huai had learned a lesson, and there must not be too many people to discuss major matters, and the gossip could not produce results, so it was suggested that all government offices and state governments should send competent people to find a secluded place to close themselves and concentrate on drafting the text, and the others should do their own things. The constituent deputies also had enough trouble, and they wished to be idle for a few days, and soon they elected people who were confident and passable, and the king of Chu immediately sent out an invitation, and there was a new manor of his near the Victory Fort, which was close to the mountains and rivers, remote and quiet, and the place was spacious enough, and it could also be managed to eat and live, which was the most suitable for the venue. A total of 76 delegates to the Constituent Assembly plus officials sent by various government offices lazily followed the King of Chu to Fort Victory, and these guys never imagined that because of this trip, they would earn the name of "76 Sages" in the future.

Negotiations between Datong and the Netherlands began a few days ago, but there were some twists and turns, and Li Jianji, the representative of Datong, said that negotiations with the Netherlands could only be done with the participation of England, which was exactly the intention of the English East India Company, and Gordon immediately came to the negotiating table. The Japanese representative Ono Masayoshi is more embarrassed, the representatives of the Netherlands and England have national credentials, but he is a traitor under the Tokugawa shogunate's "national lockdown order", and he only has a letter of recommendation from a Japanese smuggling gang in his hand, so he is not qualified to participate in the negotiations at all, but this guy is smart, and insists that he is a descendant of the Tang royal family, and he is also squeezed to the negotiating table as a follower of his new uncle Li Jianji.

The English are really annoying, they learn whatever the Dutch do, and they have to squeeze their heads to the Far East, the Japanese are so poor that they clench their thighs and want to get a piece of the pie, three plus one is not easy to deal with - Newhoff and Li Jianji's principle of one bench and three legs finally couldn't hold it up for a few days, and reluctantly agreed to the English and Japanese smuggling gangs to participate in the negotiations, but the subsequent process was unusually smooth, completely beyond his expectations, Datong's friends were simply too generous and selfless!

"The President has instructed that there are only two free countries in the world, the Cosmos Federation and the Dutch Republic, and that England is still working hard, and that Japan will wait for them to overthrow the shogunate, and that there is no reason why we should not be united. Totalitarian states are the most dangerous enemies common to free nations, such as Spain, Portugal, and Rakshasas, and the Commonwealth of Pax Romana has an obligation to support its friends who have suffered their brutal aggression, including by force if necessary. The President reaffirmed that respecting the rights and interests of the Dutch East India Company in Formosa and that if you ask for it, we can stop immigration to Formosa and even withdraw existing immigrants, and the President also noted that the laws of the Federation of Datong and the Dutch Republic are very similar, so Dutch citizens are allowed to freely live, do business, and proselytize in the Datong Federation, and can retain Dutch citizenship as citizens of Datong, and of course the Dutch Republic should also give equal treatment to our citizens. Japan can do the same in the future. Li Jianji almost controlled the situation of the negotiations, and then glanced at the stunned Newkhov and said with a smile, "The president also suggested that our two countries send permanent ambassadors to each other, how about it, we became a family, and all the problems were solved." ”

Gordon and Masayoshi Ohno immediately applauded, and Newkhov seemed to wake up from a dream, and asked with some doubts: "But, but, what are the conditions for the president?" ”

"It's very simple, in order to help friends, we need your help to strengthen the sea power, and in addition, we will set up a United America Company and a United Europa Company, rest assured, we promise not to rob you of your jobs, the two companies are still our partnership, in addition, our sea power will also be commanded by you in twenty years, and we will still need to share each other after twenty years!" Li Jianji said with a smile.

Newhoff has nothing to say, the other party's sea power is almost equal to zero, it is obvious that there is a meaning to make it bigger as soon as possible with the help of the Netherlands, twenty years is almost enough, but this is also a huge benefit to the Netherlands, the war between Protestantism and Catholicism has been fought for nearly thirty years, Europa itself is erosive, the population has lost more than half, not only is it unable to support the expansion of the sea, but also the East India Company is also exhausted, the English are already ready to move, after the civil war, they will definitely send a challenge, can pull an ally to reduce the burden, It's also good to suppress England by the way.

The three parties quickly initialed the "Agreement on the Establishment of Closer Relations between the Federation of Datong, the Republic of the Netherlands and the Kingdom of England", this time it was Newkhoff who insisted on dragging England in, and the Japanese smuggling gang of course stood aside, but Ono justice did not matter, Japan was poor and white, and could not take out decent goods to participate in the transaction, and it was the most realistic choice to eat as a little brother, as long as the boss maintained an upward trend, it was a major benefit.

Li Yu then summoned the three envoys, praised the agreement for setting an example of friendly coexistence between free countries, and at the same time put forward the thesis that would affect future generations - free countries are natural allies, all centralized countries are paper tigers, Neukhoff and Gordon were also awarded the Order of Bakshi of the Fifth Class in recognition of their contributions to maintaining the order of the Far East Sea, Ono Justice still has no part, but he took the opportunity to recognize Li Yu as the "head of the family", and explained that the Tang royal family was originally the Ohno clan, and after the death of the Tang Dynasty, part of the royal family went to Japan to restore their original surname, and he wanted to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, and then change back to the surname Li. Li Yu never understood what the surname Li had to do with the Japanese Ohno clan, but he didn't care, there were many Japanese people in Shandong who pretended to be his family and changed their surname to Li, and they didn't care about one more.

Datong has always blurred friends and foes, borrowed ladders to go up the wall, and the poor eggs squeezed onto the Dutch ship, but the Netherlands must have gotten on the ship of Datong, and the two sides were tied together to take what they needed, and they were all happy, but in an eventful season, how difficult it is to be alone! When the news came that Li Zicheng was defeated at Shanhaiguan and expelled from the Beijing Division, Datong made waves again.

The first to realize the danger was the Manchu people, they knew the Qing court best, Dolgon was influenced by the Han Confucian, and had always had the ambition to annex the empire in the region, this kind of people came to be neighbors, if they were allowed to become bigger, they would be the fugitives who would be the worst in the future. Chang Shu, Erle, Lian Shan, Busai and others organized and convened a Manchu public assembly, and Ah Shan and Bayanha, who had defected at the beginning of the year, were invited to attend the meeting as representatives of the Manchus in Liaodong, and the congress made two resolutions: first, to elect Jueluo Elu (that is, Li Yu) as the head of Manchuria, and second, to formally put forward the slogan of liberating Manchuria, and to form a petition group to ask the Senate to approve their resolution.

The Mongols are also alert, the nomadic tribes and the mountain tribes have always been wary of each other, the proud nomadic tribes are not afraid of the Han people, not afraid of the mountain tribes, but they are afraid of the two joining forces, this is a lesson, after the Jurchens established the Jin Dynasty, they got the help of the Han people in the north and gradually became stronger, and the nomadic tribes in the south of the desert carried out a long-term slaughter, and the Mongols in the north also killed the Jurchens and the Han people in the north after going south, and no one will forget the deep hatred of the sea of blood, after the Qing people conquered the Central Plains, the next target must be them, with Tulu Baihu and BaturThe Mongol leaders led by Shuolei, Gunbu, and Subati proposed to rebuild the Great Mongol Khanate, and the Tibetans and Hui people have always been loyal supporters of the Great Mongol Khanate.

Li Yu had to come forward, first appeased Changshu and a group of Manchus, and then brought Tulu Baihu, Batur, Shuolei, Gunbu, and Subati to talk all night, and the mood of the Datong Manchus and the various departments outside the Guanxi gradually stabilized, but he was a little powerless against the Han people in the Guannei, and these people seemed unwilling not to find an emperor.

The Han people in Guannei were not slow to act, and the clans headed by the kings of Chu, Jin, Dai, Shen, and Zhou were the first to persuade the table and ask Li Fugui to convey their calls to the president - Zhu Ming should be destroyed, and Li Tang should be prosperous; Yang Wenyue, Yan Jizu, Song Yihe and a group of Ming criminals also shouted "The president is not out, the common people are helpless", ran to the door of the General Military Mansion and cried, asking Li Yu to accept their persuasion to enter the table, more funny is Liu Zongzhou, Sun Qifeng and a group of People First Party members, they originally planned to go to Nanjing, and when they heard that the Qing soldiers had entered the customs, they turned around and ran back to Datong to hold a plenary meeting of the Central Committee, and the two old men wept silently and said that it was not that they were not loyal to the Ming Dynasty, but that the Ming Dynasty was too uncompetitive, and between protecting the Ming Dynasty or protecting the clothes, they could only choose the latter, Subsequently, the General Assembly made a resolution - to support Li Yu as emperor; The Statue of Liberty Square is also lively, the poor people are full of food and are not ungrateful, and they have come to express their support for Li Yu, those who dig dung, do matchmakers, and Qinglou prostitutes, turtle dukes knelt on the ground and cried, they can get rid of the lowly status that has been oppressed by others for generations thanks to the new policy, and sincerely hope that Li Yu will be the emperor.

Li Yu was frightened by the wave of persuasion, and urgently ordered the insiders of the Fengzhou Group not to participate in the persuasion, and the persuasion tables were burned, and the people in the square persuaded them to return, and then fled to return - it is not fun to call the emperor, the lessons of the past are in front of you, the Qing Kingdom has repeatedly staged cannibalism, Li Zicheng has also reached the point of exhaustion, and the Ming Emperor has compensated the family in, he has a small family, a house and a land, and only when the brain is sick can he be the emperor!

Naturalization is not peaceful, the courtyard of the Li family is crowded with people, everyone concentrates on watching Liu Wenzhong, Wang Dehua, Wang Zhixin The three eunuchs dance, the housekeeper Wang Ershun's eyes are sharp, and when he sees Li Yu dismounting, he shouts "The emperor has returned to the palace".

"Folks, learn from our family, shout long live the emperor, long live the emperor, bow three times and kowtow." The three eunuchs knelt in front and said and demonstrated, and everyone immediately hugged and knelt down, clumsily and clumsily.

"Ershun, what the hell are you doing, stand up for me," Li Yu was so angry that he couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Han Blacksmith and Su He from Baita Village, "Uncle Han, Brother Su He, what are you two doing together, everyone stand up, let's not kneel down and worship this set." ”

"Yuzi, no, the emperor, I heard that the people of Datong supported you as the emperor, the villagers are happy, we know that you don't want to be the emperor, but you are not right, who is qualified to be in the world, this kind of big thing can not be humbled." Han blacksmith said with a pestle on his crutch.

"Isn't it, the emperors of the Qing Kingdom and the Ming Kingdom are dead, how can it be your turn to sit in the world, if you let others rob it, our people in Baita Village will never agree." Su He also said.

The villagers shouted loudly, and Li Yu waved his hand again and again and said: "Who is the emperor is determined by God, everyone has been a villager for more than ten years, you still don't know who I am, this can't be messed around." ”

"What the emperor said is auspicious from the sky, yes, there are a few rains in the spring of this year, and auspicious clouds have repeatedly appeared in the sky, which has never happened in the Chongzhen Dynasty, and the heavens are also looking forward to changing the dynasty." Wang Dehua squeezed forward and shouted.

"Your Majesty, the bonds and stocks on our exchange have risen sharply across the board, which is the desire of the people." Liu Wenzhong was so excited that his eyebrows danced, some things are really weird, the bonds and stocks of the Ming Dynasty's unlucky exchange rose, and the more unlucky they were, the better, and this year it went crazy, Liu Wenzhong made a lot of money, and even Wang Dehua and Wang Zhixin, who entrusted him with financial management, also gained a lot, and the three of them all looked forward to Li Yu becoming emperor as soon as possible and getting some money.

The villagers also talked about it, and Xiangrui was indeed everywhere, such as the well in the village, which had been dry for many years, was flooding again, the old sow gave birth to more than ten cubs in a row, and the second prince's glass factory was prosperous, and the people in the village also made a fortune......

"It's not easy for the villagers to come here, sit down and drink saliva, and I'll arrange meals for everyone." The more and more messy he got with these people, Li Yu found an excuse and wanted to leave.

"No, you are the one who wants to be the emperor, you have to talk about the rules in everything, but you don't dare to pass the imperial food casually," Han Blacksmith immediately shook his head, turned to the villagers and said, "Go, the emperor still has military affairs to be busy." ”

The villagers followed behind Han Blacksmith and Su He and walked out, Li Yu grabbed Wang Ershun and told him to leave the villagers for a meal no matter what, and walked to the backyard by himself, Liu Wenzhong, Wang Dehua and Wang Zhixin immediately followed, and it seemed that he didn't regard himself as an outsider.

In the backyard hall, Li Yu's four wives are whispering with his sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, and the children, Li Xuan, Li Yao's two nephews, as well as Hadari, Li Dingguo, Kubilong, Liu Chengzu and the little living Buddha are waiting, and the king of Xiaoding, who just came a few days ago, is also standing timidly next to the lark, Li Yu walked in and glanced at it, walked to Su Tai and took the daughter Bailing who had just completed the moon, sat down and teased the child, and after a while Aobai, Wutai, and Guitu also walked in.

"Except for my second brother in Fort Victory, the Li family has arrived, and someone has encouraged me to be the emperor in the past few days, do you say I will agree?" Li Yu had enough of amusing Bailing, raised his head and asked, there was silence in the hall, everyone bowed their heads and was silent, Li Yu smiled and pointed to King Xiaoding and asked, "Your Highness, there are also people who support you as the emperor, do you want to be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

"He can't do it, he can't even ride a horse, he's ashamed!" The lark replied first.

King Xiaoding glanced at the heart of the king who waved his hand vigorously, shook his head and said: "My father said that the emperor is worried about death, it is better to be a common man, I won't do it!" ”

Li Yu sighed and set his eyes on Li Jin: "Zhuo Li Ketu, everyone says that you are extremely smart and the most suitable to inherit the great cause, do you want to be the emperor?" ”

"It's your business to be the emperor or not, don't bother me anyway." Li Jin said unceremoniously, he has not been playing with clocks well recently, his mind is full of gears, levers, and single pendulums, and he has no interest in other things.

"Adahai, what about you?" Li Yu asked Li Meng again.

"I can't speak Chinese, and I don't want to be stuffy in the house all day, don't do it!" Li Meng shook his head.

"Daddy, it's not the two of us' turn, you don't have to ask, and it's not appropriate to let it be given to me." When Li Qin saw his father aiming at him, he said with a hippie smile, and Li Liao immediately echoed.

"You don't want to do it, okay, Li Xuan, Li Yao, which of you wants to take over my class?" Li Yu asked about her two nephews.

"Third uncle, can you spare me, can I go home and farm?" Li Yao replied with a sad face, he has been appointed as the political envoy of Gansu Xingtaibu, but he does not dare to take office, his father Li Huai and his power are too high, and he will die if he is not careful, Li Xuan also asked to be transferred from the Flying Tiger Camp, it is best to let him go back to his hometown to do a place to guard.

Hadari, Li Dingguo and others don't matter, Li Yu will do whatever they say, Aobai and Kubilong are a little excited, after Dolgon took power, he wantonly suppressed the two yellow flags, their relatives suffered a lot, Aobai's cousin Yang Shan, cousin Luo Shuo was also falsely killed, as long as they could drive Dolgon away, they didn't care about Li Yu being the emperor.

Li Yu set his eyes on the four wives again, but the four sisters all lowered their heads, and Li Yu asked a few times but no one was angry.

"Yuzi, you can't have no conscience and don't want me." Wu Langha has the strongest sense of crisis, first of all, she can't help it, she is more than ten years older than Li Yu, she is still illiterate, and the Mongolians don't care, but the literati from Guannai always look at her awkwardly, the queen will definitely not be able to take her turn, but it is very likely that she will be driven into the cold palace.

"Yuzi, our women don't understand outside things, your four daughters-in-law run the family business for the Li family, have children, it has not been easy for so many years, you have become the emperor and have three palaces and six courts, but you can't snub them." The eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law are kind-hearted, and they have lived in naturalization for so many years, and they have already had feelings with their four younger brothers and daughters-in-law, and they have said important things in front.

"Erlu, the four of us have earned a lot of money over the years, you can be the emperor, and you can also be the queen if you look at it, but our family's accounts must be calculated first, and whoever belongs will belong to whom." Ulan finally spoke, the four sisters were born in the Yi clan, except for Ulan, they are all second married, but Ulan is also in her thirties, so it is difficult to say that she can keep her status as a queen, and the four sisters are aware of the crisis, and they have to think about their children without thinking about themselves, and they have obviously formed an offensive and defensive alliance.

"That's it, it doesn't matter if we make money for our own use, but we can't cheapen others." The second girl continued, and Su Tai nodded vigorously on the side.

Before the emperor could think of it, he was going to break up the family, it seemed that he really didn't have that life, Li Yule raised the child and said: "I knew that this was the result, Xiao Bailing, don't blame Daddy if you can't be a princess, I said hello, and the whole family is against it." ”

Xiao Bailing was taken aback, cried wow, and poured urine on Li Yu by the way, the whole family laughed, and Su Tai hurriedly took the child over.

"Find me a few clothes, it's too noisy here, I'll go to the Barbarian Mountain to hide for a few days," Li Yu stood up and wiped his clothes, waved his hand and said, "What's so good about being an emperor, hurting others and hurting yourself, forget it, it's best to live peacefully together as a family." ”
