Chapter 003: Parting

"Then why did he go so far away to secretly develop? If he likes to fight, there are many places in the empire that can be used, isn't it fun to attack the Great Song Dynasty? Hong Jinhe is still struggling with why his father doesn't care about his own problems. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Your Majesty will not agree to our attack on the Great Song Dynasty. You have forgotten that Bo Jiao, Wen Nan, Governor Mai, Governor Ci, including the eldest princess and his wife, are not in favor of the plan to annex the Great Song Dynasty, and even Minister Kong and Minister Huang are not very willing, these people are adhering to the old Majesty's thoughts. In the eyes of His Majesty, the Great Song Dynasty is like the Prince of Saifei, the Jinhe Empire is his child, and so is the Great Song Dynasty. What I'm worried about is whether His Majesty will suddenly appear in Jinhe City, if he has to come back to stop the empire from going north, then the empire will really be in big trouble. Even if we have a majority in the council, I am still not 100% sure that we will be able to stop His Majesty's onslaught. Because I couldn't think of any way he would stop it, so I had to deal with it passively. And in this way, Your Majesty and the Old Majesty will have to face to face and face each other, a situation that I believe the people of the empire do not want to see. As soon as he talked about Hong Tao's attitude towards Da Song, Yi Yi's face showed a dry stool expression again, and this matter was also the thing he couldn't figure out the most.

"Forget it, don't talk about him. The throne was passed on to me by him, and I'll give it back to her! How are we preparing, and when can we issue an ultimatum to Da Song at the earliest? Hong Jinhe is also a lawsuit against his father, and if he can't figure it out, he simply doesn't want to think about it. The European continent was too far away from the Empire, and the Ministry of Supervision had not established any intelligence agencies there, so it could only rely on the few words brought back by the merchants, and so far it seemed that there was no indication that my father was going back to the Empire, and it was not even clear whether he had really developed in Europe.

"Right now! But I don't think we need to be in such a hurry to send troops, and the Strait Company is not as weak as Wen Hao said, he is scaring us. At present, the two sides are still evenly balanced, and the Great Song army has more numbers and combat experience, but it has been constrained too much in command, and at most it can exert half of its combat effectiveness, and the terrain is not favorable to them. These mercenaries and locally recruited troops of the Straits Company State also have a certain combat effectiveness, and as long as the logistics can be guaranteed, they will fight better and better. Let the two sides consume more first, and then we will be more fully prepared, and strive to determine the outcome of the first battle, and do not drag the war into a protracted war, then our losses will be greater. And if I don't force Wen Hao to show all the hole cards, I'm not too worried about this person. His Majesty's evaluation of him is very pertinent, he is a person who cannot be overstated no matter how bad he thinks, and we must guard against him. "In terms of overall control, Yi Yi is much more mature and ruthless than Hong Jinhe. He is not in a hurry to attack the Great Song Dynasty, the current situation is not bad for the Jinhe Empire, and it is not always possible to catch up with such things as sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight and the fisherman profit.

However, who the fisherman was, Yi Yi was sure a little early, and even if he wanted to break his head, he couldn't imagine that at this time, thousands of miles to the east, a huge fleet was moving west along a long semi-artificial canal. In front of the fleet was an ugly ship with a round head and a round head, black and ugly, with no sails, only a large chimney, and crawling down the river with black smoke and panting. Two thick ropes were attached to its stern, and the other end of the rope was tied to the bow of the second sailing ship, and in this way one pulled one by one, and eight ships were connected to it.

"This method is really amazing, your broken ship can be used as a tugboat. It seems that it will not be able to retire in a short period of time, and it will not be able to build any museums yet, this method can be used not only in canals, but also in offshore shipping, which can save a lot of manpower, even if it is a little slower, it is cost-effective. "On the deck of the last sailing ship of the fleet, there are Hong Tao, Luo Youde, Qi Zu, Wen Xiaoqi, Joseph, Luo Meimei, Hong Salamander, Charity, Kindness, Bush, Wen Nan, Maitini, Cixi, Tu and Rat, this ship is Hong Tao's flagship, why put the flagship in the back? Hong Tao said, the second fool went to eat soot with the steamer, and it was better to stay away from the air.

"Hey, hey, hey...... After the last sea trial, I tried it several times in the river myself, and it turned out that although it was not fast, it was very powerful. If you change to a smaller flat-bottomed boat, it can pull twenty, or against the current. Uncle Qi said that he wanted a small train, but I wanted to get a small fireboat, and I couldn't look down on anything that didn't run in the water! Wen Xiaoqi was very proud, he finally found the advantage of the steam engine ship, and he no longer bothered with the problem of speed.

"Don't be beautiful, if I can't see the train, you won't think about building a ship in the future, you have to build it out of wood." Qi Zu's legs are gone, and he is usually pushed by his apprentices in a wheelchair, if it weren't for Hong Tao to leave today, he wouldn't have left the courtyard of the laboratory.

"Wooden boats are wooden boats......" Wen Xiaoqi glanced at Qi Zu and didn't say anything back.

"Your Majesty, I still have more than 200 trained soldiers in my hands, but they are a little worse at sea, why don't you take them with you, one more person will give you more strength. I still have people here, don't worry. "Swan didn't go to fight with Wen Xiaoqi and Qi Zu, these two freaks attack each other when they meet all day long, and it becomes a daily routine, and others can't understand the feelings between them.

"Are you afraid that I won't have enough people and come back to bother you? Don't worry, I will go back to my own country and endure it, and I will never rob your soldiers again, let alone what you are doing. But in the future, you really need to prepare some manpower, and the large-scale development will start soon, and you have to hire people everywhere, don't just care about your own happiness. You are the king, and everyone in the kingdom must count on you as the commander, no longer the general Swan, just fight, think more about things, listen to other people's opinions, and don't stare at every turn. Lao Luo, let's talk to him, he is the one I am most worried about. Hong Tao originally wanted to thank Swan for his kindness, but the words turned bad again, all of which were reminders, advice and prevention.

"Everyone, don't send it, there is Stone Harbor in front, and it is all downstream after here, and you just follow the little steamer back. Today may be the last time we all get together so neatly, and it will not be easy to get together again in the future. If I have anything that I can't do with you before, please forgive me. You don't know where I am, and I don't pretend I know. I hope that after I leave, everyone will not have any disputes over some trivial things, as long as everyone unites and trusts each other, no one else can take this land, it will always be yours. But I have to say the ugly things in the front, and if I hear about anyone or people who are not greedy enough, then don't blame me for coming back with the battleship, and it will be difficult to meet at that time. Come on, everyone, there will be a farewell for each person, a glass of wine for each person, and go home after drinking, full of drink! Hong Tao is still not used to this heavy farewell atmosphere, and he doesn't want to wait for everyone to say goodbye to him, so he just simplifies the complex, out of sight and out of mind.

"Full drink! Cheers! "The people on the deck are very familiar with Hong Tao's habits, and they are not hypocritical, anyway, the things that should be said have been said these days, and there are a lot of things that should not be said, and there is really nothing to say.

"Dad, don't be polite to them, come back quickly after the fight. Sister Weng said that you will do all the things about the war, and I and the second rat will not be able to get any of them, so you won't need to go out in the future, and our brothers will take care of the war! "Hong Rat can no longer see the appearance of a teenager, although he is half Indian, but he looks more like Hong Tao, especially when he brags about himself, he smiles exactly like Hong Tao.

“…… Weng Ya, don't forget that your son is still in my hands, if you don't teach my son to order some good things and fight and kill all day long, I will take Cihu to the Great Song Dynasty to visit the Qinglou, and you can do it yourself! "Hong Tao regretted it a little, what a mistake! How did he send his son to this two hundred and five, what good son can be taught?

"May the light of the sun god shine on you forever!" Only Tu's toast was more serious, and she was the only one who came to see her off in formal clothes, dressed in a glittering golden robe and wearing a gold crown studded with gems on her head.

"Cixi, help me take care of her, think of a way not to let her stay in that golden coffin all day and chant mantras, and find her something else to do." Hong Tao's most guilty thing is Tu, he originally wanted to take her to the Great Song Dynasty to change his brain, but unfortunately Tu resolutely didn't go, she said that she wanted to serve the gods in the pyramid and couldn't leave.

"Don't worry, I have the right girls under my command, let them go to the lady's maids, it won't take long to see results. Or I'll go back with you, Lao Wen and Boss Luo have great skills, but there are some things they can't do, especially in the environment of Da Song, my methods are more effective than them. "Hong Tao's please Cixi doesn't feel too difficult, brainwashing others is his specialty, and he doesn't need to come forward in person, those swallows under his command can fool the picture so that they no longer know who the sun god is. He was still worried about the problems after Hong Tao returned to the Great Song Dynasty, except for Wen Nan and Luo Youde, he was the third person who knew all of Hong Tao's plans. He didn't have any suggestions for the big strategy, but in the small details, he felt that Hong Tao still lacked a helper to do the dirty work.

"I can't do without you here, I can't stay in the Great Song Dynasty and can still run back, if there is chaos here, I won't have the capital to fight with others." I'm going to find someone else to do the dirty work, and I already have the right person, he should be dirtier than you, hehehe. Hong Tao is very willing to let Cixi follow him back to the Great Song Dynasty, the two have cooperated for more than 20 years, and if you want to say that there is a tacit understanding, no one can replace Cixi. But North America and Europe still need him in charge, and his intelligence organization is expanding rapidly, and without him at the helm, it is likely that someone else will mess it up. And considering that his reputation in the Jinhe Empire is really bad, suddenly appearing in the Great Song Dynasty is likely to cause the disgust of the imperial government, so it's better to give it up.
