The news of Li Hongyu's return to Beijing had already reached the capital, and Emperor Tianqi was overjoyed, so he asked Sun Chengzong, the assistant minister of the Ming Dynasty and the Zhan Shi Mansion of Zhan Shifu, to lead people out of the city to greet him.

Emperor Tianqi's arrangement is very interesting, Li Hongyu is regarded by the outside world as the Chu Party, and Sun Chengzong is the Donglin Party, it stands to reason that now the Donglin Party and the Qi, Chu and Zhejiang parties are fighting fiercely, and the officials of the Donglin Party will definitely not go to meet the officials of the Chu Party.

But the factions in the capital are not only divided into the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang and the Donglin Party, but also have a variety of interpersonal circles, Li Hongyu and Sun Chengzong once worked together in the Zhan Mansion, and they are both teachers of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, so the personal relationship between the two is very good, and they are both people whom the Emperor of the Apocalypse trusts very much.

Therefore, Emperor Tianqi sent Sun Chengzong to greet Li Hongyu this time, and Sun Chengzong was the most suitable candidate among all the Ming auxiliary ministers.

Therefore, there was a strange scene in the capital where the party was fierce, a Donglin party boss went out of the city to greet a Chu party boss, and he was talking and laughing, which made the atmosphere seem quite weird.

Sun Chengzong, like Ye Xianggao, belonged to the moderate wing of the Donglin Party, while Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou and others could be described as radicals.

For Sun Chengzong, he did not have much interest in party struggle, he focused on the battlefield outside the Guan, and was very eager to lead the army to fight.

In Li Hongyu's view, if Sun Chengzong can replace Xiong Tingbi to become the Liaodong Economic Strategy, the situation outside the Guanxi will not deteriorate so much, he and Wang Huazhen are both members of the Donglin Party, even if there are contradictions, they will not intensify and make the economy disagree, and the soldiers are at a loss.

Follow Sun Chengzong to greet Li Hongyu is an official of various ministries and courtyards in the capital, huhula black and oppressive, everyone knows that Li Hongyu is a celebrity in front of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, so he naturally wants to come to curry favor.

Speaking of which, this time Jingcha has nothing to do with Li Hongyu, Li Hongyu is now serving in the local government and does not belong to the officials of Beijing and Nanjing, so Jingcha cannot control him.

As for the "big plan" of the local inspection officials, Li Hongyu is an official of the second grade, and the official rank is higher than that of the highest local official, who can inspect him?

Therefore, Li Hongyu's identity is very clear, neither Jingcha nor Daji can hurt him in the slightest, which is equivalent to directly belonging to the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

The reason why the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang are at a disadvantage in the party struggle with the Donglin Party is that the right to speak at the top is not as good as the Donglin Party, and the return of Li Hongyu has suddenly increased the voice of the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang at the top level.

The officials of the Donglin Party then felt the inexplicable pressure, although Li Hongyu had never dealt with the Donglin Party, but now he has a growing prestige, so that the Donglin Party has to face the enemy, you must know that Li Hongyu not only holds the power of the army but also can have a significant impact on the Emperor of the Apocalypse, maybe it will turn over the unfavorable situation of the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang.

However, Li Hongyu, who has no conflict of interest with the Donglin Party, is not yet an enemy of the Donglin Party, and Li Hongyu has a very good relationship with Yang Lian and other Donglin Party members, and even if there is a contradiction between the two sides, it is relatively easy to communicate and avoid serious conflicts.

Among Li Hongyu and his party, Chen Ting, who went to the capital to meet the Emperor of the Apocalypse, was undoubtedly the most excited, she never thought that she would be able to come to the capital of the Ming Dynasty one day, let alone go to see the Emperor of the Apocalypse and accept the reward of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

Although Chen Ting had long heard that the capital of the Ming Dynasty was the largest city in the world, with a population of more than one million, when she arrived at the city gate, she was still shocked by this majestic and majestic imperial capital.

Not only Chen Ting, but also the envoys of the Nanyang countries were also impressed by the grandeur of Beijing City, and they all opened their mouths to admire, realizing that the strength of the Ming Dynasty was not a lie.

Emperor Tianqi received the envoys of the Nanyang countries in the Taihe Palace, when he saw the civil and military officials standing densely on the square of the Taihe Palace, the envoys of the Nanyang countries were stunned, there are so many officials in the capital of the Ming Dynasty alone, so the population of the Ming Dynasty is simply an astronomical number.

In fact, the population of most of these Nanyang countries is only equivalent to the level of a county in Daming, and a country is actually just a tribe.

The reason why Li Hongyu brought these envoys of the Nanyang countries to the capital to meet the Ming Dynasty was to create a scene of "all countries coming to the court" to win glory for the Emperor of the Apocalypse and enhance the prestige of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and on the other hand, it was also to win over and appease these Nanyang countries, presumably they would not do anything harmful to the prestige and interests of the Ming Dynasty after witnessing the strength of the Ming Dynasty.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was very happy that the envoys of the Nanyang countries came to meet him this time, and he must know that since the Yongle Emperor had not seen the scene of "all countries coming to court" for nearly two hundred years, this was a symbol of the prosperous era.

Therefore, although Li Hongyu had already suggested that the Emperor of the Apocalypse should reward him with a little something, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was very happy and generously rewarded a lot of good things at those times to show his favor.

Li Hongyu was helpless about this, after all, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was the Son of Heaven of the Ming Dynasty, so how could he weaken the prestige of the Ming Dynasty?

Compared with the envoys of those Nanyang countries, the Emperor of the Apocalypse and the courtiers were more interested in Chen Ting, the envoy of the Xingang Propaganda Division.

The first overseas territory after the founding of the Ming Dynasty was the Old Port Xuanwei Division set up by the Yongle Emperor in Jinzhou, which was an important supply base for Zheng He to go to the West, but unfortunately with the termination of the Ming Dynasty's overseas affairs, the Old Port Xuanwei Division was taken away by the local tribes, and the Ming Dynasty was powerless to accept it across the vast sea.

Now, Li Hongyu not only successfully established the Xingang Propaganda Division in Jawa, but also reclaimed the territory of the former old port Propaganda Division of Jinzhou without blood, which is really a great contribution to the Ming Dynasty.

Li Hongyu left the capital to go to the Customs Department before he deliberately asked the Emperor of the Apocalypse to become the Holy Decree of the Xingang Propaganda Division in Jawa Xingang, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse thought that Li Hongyu just wanted to find an overseas base for the fleet of Daming's overseas trade, and now it seems that he not only wants the base as simple, but wants to expand the territory of Daming overseas.

When the Black Barbarian City was breached, Li Hongyu sent a letter in the name of Wang Hong to the local forces in Jinzhou, which now occupied the Old Port Propaganda Division, saying that the Ming Dynasty would take back the Old Port Propaganda Division established during the Yongle period and let it immediately evacuate from the land of the Old Port.

Considering that the other party has been living in the old port for a long time, and the Ming Dynasty is a state of etiquette that convinces people with virtue, Li Hongyu gave him two thousand taels of silver as compensation, and if the residents of the old port are willing to stay, they will become the people of the Ming Dynasty and enjoy the treatment that the people of the Ming Dynasty deserve.

Jinzhou and Clawwa can be said to be a stone's throw away, the demise of the black barbarians has put huge psychological pressure on the local forces in Jinzhou, which makes the local forces that occupy the old port have no other choice, they can't hold the old port, and if they offend the Ming Dynasty, they will definitely be wiped out like the black barbarians.

Therefore, the local forces occupying Xingang wisely made the choice of evacuating the old port, and lost the old port in desperation, but the compensation of two thousand taels of silver could already make them satisfied, after all, two thousand taels of silver is a huge amount of money in Jinzhou.

Li Hongyu has already sent people to the old port to carry out the formalities of handover with the local armed forces, and when everything is ready, the seat of the Xingang Xuanfu Division will be moved to the old port.

The reason why the Yongle Emperor chose the old port as the base for the Ming fleet to go to the West was precisely because of its huge military and economic value.

The Old Port is bordered by the Malay Peninsula to the northeast across the Strait of Malacca, the Indian Ocean to the west, and the South China Sea and the island of Java to the east, which makes it important for its military and economic status.

Li Hongyu checked the map of the Yongle Emperor when he set up the Old Port Propaganda Division, the territory of the Old Port Propaganda Division is not small, as the highest administrative body of the Ming Dynasty in Nanyang, the territory of the Old Port Propaganda Division includes all of present-day Malaysia and Singapore, most of Indonesia, and part of Thailand and the Philippines.

In other words, the territory of the Old Port Propaganda Division was not only in Jinzhou, but also the important supply locations when Zheng He went to the West were under the jurisdiction of the Old Port Propaganda Division.

It is a pity that with the termination of overseas affairs of the Ming Dynasty, the territory of the Old Port Propaganda Division has been annexed by the local armed forces, and Li Hongyu moved the seat of the Xingang Propaganda Division to the old port is only the first step, and then he will gradually take back the territory of the Old Port Propaganda Division, so as to form an effective military and economic network in Nanyang, which is conducive to the Ming Dynasty's control of the South Seas.

Of course, among all the people who are in the audience today, Chen Ting, the Xingang consolation envoy, is the most eye-catching, because she also has another identity - the second concubine room accepted by Li Hongyu.

The civil and military officials of the court did not think much of the Xuanwei Division of the New Hong Kong, believing that it was just a group of uncivilized barbarians living like the Tusi in the Ming Dynasty.

But Chen Ting is Li Hongyu's woman, and she is a woman officially recognized by Li Hongyu, which makes the ministers have to treat her differently, and no one dares to treat her as an ordinary toast.

"Spread my will, Xingang announced that the envoy would exterminate the black barbarian country, recapture the old port, and raise the prestige of my Ming dynasty in the South Seas.

When Chen Ting went to the Taihe Hall to kneel down to the Emperor of the Apocalypse to ask for peace under the gaze of the ministers, the Emperor of the Apocalypse glanced at her, and then announced loudly with a smile, giving Li Hongyu a great favor.

Obviously, no one at the scene would think that Chen Ting was a girl who had the ability to destroy the Black Barbarian Country, and it must have been planned by Li Hongyu.

But then again, Chen Ting is Li Hongyu's concubine, and the two are a family, so it is logical to reward Chen Ting, Li Hongyu is now a very human minister, and he doesn't need this small credit at all.

"Emperor Xie, Your Majesty Longen, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live." Chen Ting's face was overjoyed when she heard this, and she hurriedly thanked her again.

Although the three rank of the lady is only one level higher than the level of the Xingang ambassador from the third grade, but the authority and treatment of the two are different.

Although the Xuanfu envoy is an official position from the third grade, the officials of the Ming Dynasty did not take the Xuanfu envoy and the Xuanfu envoy to heart at all, and it is good enough for officials of all sizes not to make things difficult, let alone salute.

It stands to reason that according to the practice of the Ming officialdom's wife as a husband, Li Hongyu is an official of the second grade, and Chen Ting should be named the wife of the second grade.

However, Chen Ting is a good concubine and not a wife, so she was reduced to become the foreign wife of the Ming Dynasty, which is already the great grace of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
