After returning to the capital, Hu Zhen received a message from the Huaxia Army in Annan, saying that the people of Annan had jointly proposed that the emperor of the Huaxia Empire should agree to the merger of Annan into the Huaxia Empire, and 100,000 people urgently asked the Huaxia Army to enter Annan as soon as possible to save the people.

"Your Majesty, Annan has suffered more than 10 million casualties under the heavy blow of the French army!" Luo Tian didn't know whether he was sad or helpless, and his voice trembled a little.

"Humph! It's only 10 million, why isn't it dead! Hu Zhen gritted his teeth and said.

Zhang Dajiang was afraid that Hu Zhen would not know that the population of Annan was less than 20 million: "Your Majesty, this is far more than half of the population of Annan, and its elite population has almost been lost!" ”

Hu Zhen shook his head and said, "I really don't have a good impression of this white-eyed wolf!" However, the matter has come to this point, so I ordered Zhang Qishan to send troops, but if it was blocked by the Annanes, the Huaxia army immediately retreated and gave Annan to the French again to continue the massacre! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, let's arrange it immediately!"

Zhang Dajiang and Luo Tian both knew that once the Huaxia Army started to march towards Annan, it would never retreat, and looking at it, whether it was the French army or the savage-like Annan indigenous armed forces, they were not the opponents of the Huaxia Army at all, and if they encountered obstacles, the Huaxia Army would not take Hu Zhen's angry words seriously, and at most they would crush them all the way.

In fact, Hu Zhen also knew that any general in the Huaxia Army would never retreat once he started to march towards Annan, but he always had to show his attitude of hating the Annan people, and as for what the generals did, then he didn't want to care.

Sure enough, in the process of the army's march towards Annam, the French army either fled or surrendered quickly like rabbits, and some local indigenous armed forces rushed up to stop them without knowing whether they were alive or dead.

This almost primitive indigenous armed force, of course, could not stop the advance of the Huaxia army, which could only add more dead bones to the already bone-ridden land of Annan.

Chen Qishan was very familiar with the habits of the natives of Nanyang, and his reaction was to immediately give an order, ordering the surrendered French soldiers to return their weapons, open the way ahead, and kill anyone who dared to stand in the way.

This move was really powerful, it did not violate Hu Zhen's will, creatively executed Hu Zhen's orders, and created more Annan dead.

The people with a few bones are all dead, and the rest, of course, are all obedient people.

With the assistance of countless Annamite Chinese and Annamite who returned to Shun, the Chinese army marched very fast, quickly recovering Lang Son and rushing straight to the Hanoi Plain, while the navy landed in Hue and fiercely cut Annam in two.

The army was divided into divisions and cleared, saying that it was to annihilate the French army, but in fact, it was more to deal with the natives of Annam.

In less than a month, the Huaxia army successfully took Saigon, controlled the mouth of the Mekong Delta, and completed the strategy plan for Annam.

When Hu Zhen received this news, he had already returned to the capital, and he gathered the top echelons of the imperial government and the army to convene a strategic meeting to determine the direction of future development.

"Not enough money! The empire wants to build 100,000 kilometers of railways and millions of kilometers of roads in ten years, where will it go to prepare so much money? "The Ministry of Railways has been changed to the Ministry of Communications, and Minister Chen Yixi is very worried about where to find the funds for the empire that has been fighting one after another.

"Money, it's not a problem, I'm worried that you don't have enough ability to build it!" Finance Minister Fan Qianhai certainly knows Hu Zhen's layout in Europe, and knows that Hu Zhen's financial layout in Europe and the United States has achieved more than 1.73 billion pounds in income, which is converted into 5.1 billion taels of silver.

In another time and space, the Qing Dynasty's compensation to the Eight-Nation Alliance was only 3.9 billion taels of silver, which was the financial revenue of the Qing Dynasty for 50 years.

Hu Zhen smiled lightly: "That's right, the empire is not short of money now, although you can do a good job of planning and doing a good job, you really don't need to think too much about money!" ”

"Your Majesty, do you want to ask for compensation from the national anthem?"

When Li Hongzhang was an official in the Qing Dynasty, he was always forced to sign unequal treaties with European powers, and always ceded land to foreign countries, which was not his culpability, and the people also blamed him for the blame.

"Li Aiqing is right, I summoned everyone to come this time to discuss with you where the borders of our Huaxia Empire are going to go!"

"Your Majesty, the South China Sea region must be taken all, the Indian Ocean outlet Miandian must be taken, and Australia must also be taken!"

Liang Kunri, commander-in-chief of the Northeast Theater, had nothing to do these days, and his heart was so panicked that he jumped up and shouted loudly to express his opinion.

"Of course, this South Sea, Miandian has to be taken, but Australia, which is deserted, I'm afraid it won't be useful to take it down?" Li Hongzhang has no good impression of Australia.

Zhang Zhidong also sang and harmonized with him: "This Australia is said to be very barren, there are only kangaroos everywhere, and there are deserts everywhere. ”

Liang Shiyi, Minister of Commerce, also echoed the position of the Ministry of Commerce: "This place was only used for exile and crime in England after 1788, so I am afraid it has no commercial value!" ”

Even Su Wenzhen of the General Staff said: "It is really a bit difficult to completely control this place, it is not enough to rely on the army alone, and it is a long-term solution to spend a large amount of money to resettle and reclaim!" ”

Hu Zhen knew that if he didn't come forward at the moment, he wouldn't be able to convince everyone, so he waved his hand to stop Liang Kunri, who was still about to speak, and said:

"Australia is indeed extremely barren now, but do you know that there are rich iron, copper, and aluminum ore resources, and if it is taken by the Chinese Empire, it will be enough for our descendants to use for thousands of years, why don't we take it back?"

"But will the English promise to give us Australia? That's a land of 7,680,000 square kilometers? ”

"So I'm going to gather everyone together and discuss how to seize Australia through the cooperation of all parties and make it the land of the Chinese Empire forever!"

"Your Majesty, I see that the English will be in a hurry to start here, and they will be able to bring Australia over at that time!" After Su Wenzhen understood Hu Zhen's intentions, he immediately had an idea, and he walked to the map and pointed to it.

The general looked at it and saw that the place he was pointing to was India. (To be continued.) )
