Flipping through the family tree left by Yang Ping, Fu Ning pointed to a line of words and said, "Look! Long, sect, generation, prosperity, morality, faith, observance, righteousness; There is also Jia Daishan's seal below; At that time, Jia Daishan was stationed in Jiangning, and he attacked the first-class Shenwei general, and the Duke of Rongguo, who was promoted in the capital in the second year of Qianping; He was a generation of 'generations', you were a generation of 'Xing', he was stationed in Jiangning back then, and you also lived in Jiangning back then; you were probably his daughter! My stepfather, Yang Pingyuan, whose name is Jia Ping, is probably your half-brother; Now the first-class Shenwei general Jue Jia Yu in the Jingshi Rongguo Mansion, the Wailang Jia Zheng, a member of the Sipin Labor Department, and the late wife Jia Min of Lin Ruhai, the imperial history of Yangzhou Salt Patrol, are all your half-brothers and sisters! ”

"Where is he now? ——", Yuan Qi was already stunned. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"He? ——,Are you asking Jia Daishan? He died mysteriously in the sixth year of Qianping. Your mother may have been killed by Mrs. Shi; If you hadn't been kidnapped, you would have been killed by Mrs. Shi. Wang Zongran once confessed that many of your aunts and cousins were killed by Mrs. Shi. ”

Fu Ning also felt "messy in the wind" and was confused. He married his stepfather's sister and gave birth to a daughter; Is this inevitable or accidental? This foggy world of red mansions is really a mess of "grass and mud horses", it is simply a cloud of fog!

Rice is now a luxury item for Liuqiu, and there is no rice left in any other department except for the more than 100,000 quintals of rice that the Department of Culture has stockpiled in order to reward the people's literacy; Even the rice that Fu Yi drank porridge was asked by Fu Ning for the Department of Culture. The northernmost fishing teams even reached the fishing grounds on the west side of Xiaoliuqiu, and the caught seafood sprinkled with thick salt was immediately sent to various places by transport ships, and even sharks, whales, and dolphins would not be spared; Large yellow croaker, small yellow croaker, hairtail, class fish, sea mackerel, squid, octopus, lobster, climbing shrimp, sea crab, scallops, clams, and other seafood are sent to the gathering points of new immigrants in a timely manner, and the food is salted fish porridge, salted fish porridge, and salted fish porridge.

New immigrants are constantly diverted, and the wasteland can be redeveloped and distributed free of charge to the collective; The dozen boats of sweet potatoes brought back by the Zhangzhou operation finally aroused Fu Ning's surprise, and Fu Ning finally understood why the population increased instead of declining after sixty or seventy years of war at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the British Dynasty; After understanding Fu Ning, he learned that sweet potatoes appeared in Lingnan a hundred years ago and then spread to the north, but Fu Ning wondered why he had not seen sweet potatoes in Xiaoyang Village, Sizhou, Liuhe and Yangzhou and other places. Another puzzle is why don't you see corn and potatoes when you have sweet potatoes? The Spanish merchant in the chicken coop said that there was indeed corn and potatoes described by Fourning in the Americas, but they did not seem to have been seen in East Asia and West Asia, so Fourin offered a high price to the Spanish merchants for corn and potatoes, hoping that someone would bring a large amount of corn and potatoes as seeds.

Fu Ning finally understood the reason why there were 30,000 people in the British Dynasty, and the news gathered by the merchants showed that the sweet potato planting belt of the British Dynasty was distributed along the Huguang Xiangchuan to the direction of Shanshan in Henan, which was a strange crop sub-belt; Fu Ning thinks that this kind of division may be due to soil fertility and planting habits, because sweet potatoes are rarely seen in the main rice producing areas, but sweet potatoes are more common in mountainous and inland areas. The price of rice is more than ten times the price of sweet potatoes, so sweet potatoes are not seen in rice-producing areas; However, it is precisely this "coincidence" that has caused a massive increase in the population in the mountainous and inland areas, while the people in the rice-producing areas have to "run for a spring famine" every year. The discovery of sweet potatoes also solved another puzzle of Fu Ning, that is, why the Goryeo Peninsula could have a population of 189 million and nearly 2 million Han people; But another question is why the Wa Kingdom does not grow sweet potatoes? However, now that the Wa Kingdom in the world of the Red Chamber no longer exists, Fu Ning has lost interest in continuing to think.

It took more than half a year for the new immigrants to plunder and completely digest it, and the surge in the production capacity of the fishing fleet, the reclamation and distribution of new land, and the beginning of the harvest of summer grain in the south heralded the complete completion of the stabilization work of the new immigrants. The Fifth Division changed to Luzon and became the new "mine supervisor" of Luzon Iron Mine; The 6th Division was stationed in Chichi and Changhua, the 7th Division was stationed in Jilong and Huwei, and the 12nd, 3rd, 44th Divisions rushed to Yingzhou for combat readiness and were temporarily responsible for the work of "purchasing and transporting Hanmin" to Goryeo.

The natives of Luzon have completely disappeared, the iron mines have begun to use the southern Sulu as miners, and the Sulu kings have fled to the eastern archipelago of West Indonesia to escape the Ryuk army; Fu Ning likes to call that place "Sini region", and is extremely envious of the rich resources of that place, timber, land, oil, tin ore, coal, iron ore, and it seems that there are gold mines, although no one knows the richness of that place yet, but Fu Ning has long coveted that place, but unfortunately Fu Ning's hand is not so long now.

The main fleet of the navy exchanged fire with the British naval army in the Liuqiu Strait for more than two months, and the Zhenhai camp in Guangzhou, Wenzhou, and Hangzhou sent by the British Dynasty to the Liuqiu Strait were all annihilated and captured, and the Chaozhou land battalion (patrol battalion) that moved to Zhangzhou was almost zero in the face of the empty Zhangzhou, but the navy did not land again so that the British court was relieved a lot; However, the loss of the British court's surface power in the southeast did not provoke the imperial court's cheers, but instead imposed a more severe policy of banning the sea, even fishermen were forbidden to go to the sea, the port of Zhangzhou was banned from the sea, and the only ports that could trade were Guangzhou and Yangzhou. Fu Ning felt that the British Dynasty was a "man in a suit", and they thought that "closing their eyes" could prevent Ryuqiu's "harassment" and prevent new changes in the world, but they didn't know that this was just self-deception, and they would only fall behind in an all-round way.

The Later Li Dynasty acquired a large number of cold weapons after several years of trade with Liuqiu, and although the Champa also purchased a large number of cold weapons from Liuqiu, it was eventually annexed by the Later Li Dynasty. Perhaps it was the growth of military power that stimulated the ambitions of the Later Li Dynasty, which actually went to war against its "suzerain" the British Dynasty, and the force of the vanguard had already entered Guangxi; The imperial court endowed Nan'an County Wang Genghe with great military power in order to smooth the foreign war; This may also be the reason why the imperial court once again forbade the sea in the southeast sea, and the imperial court may not want to deal with two wars at the same time.

The official name of the imperial court for the Later Li Dynasty was "Annan Kingdom", and the first thing Annan did after the war against the British Dynasty was to send envoys to Liuqiu to buy a large number of cold weapons, but Fu Ning refused; Let the Annan "monkey" take the weapons made by Liuqiu to attack the Han people of the British Dynasty, Fu Ning was already in the best mood without opposition, so the Annan envoy was treated perfunctorily for two months and then had to go back with some luxuries.

In fact, after the British Dynasty ascended the throne, it dealt with three and a half wars at the same time. The first was a naval battle with Liuqiu, and the British southeastern naval army was wiped out before it could complete its assembly in Zhangzhou. The second was a defensive battle against Annan, which was also defeated, and Genghe, the king of Annan County, retreated hundreds of miles to Nanning-Zhen'an before barely stabilizing the situation. At the same time, there was also a rebellion in the northwest of Dzungaria, the fifth prince Jin Zheng was suppressed by the new emperor Jin Zheng and transferred to the Ministry of Industry, and the new "Northwest General" before the death of Emperor Qianping, the eighth prince Jin Zheng was imprisoned by the new emperor Jin Zheng, which led to the turmoil of the military forces in the northwest, which led to the fact that the Dzungar department in the northwest had been suppressed to take the opportunity to rebel and expand rapidly, and even Uriya Sutai and Khalkha Mongolia were involved in it and joined the rebel forces, and for a time the northern frontier of the British Dynasty was in flames, It is said that the Bohai King of the Bohai Kingdom, Alba Hulu, also sent 100,000 troops outside the city of Ningyuan in Liaoxi to confront the British Dynasty officials and troops led by Shui Rong, the king of Beijing County, and the Horqin Mongols also showed signs of defecting from the British Dynasty. I don't know whether it should be counted as the fourth war is the instability of the situation in "Yunnan-Guichuan", because of the heavy tax burden, there was a small-scale civil rebellion.

The political consequences of Emperor Qianping's death and Jin Zheng's unexplained accession to the throne began to gradually appear, and the "embers" of the princes did not seem to be far behind.

The situation in the British Dynasty was so "difficult" that many people thought that the new emperor would "reinstate" the fifth prince Jin Gong and "lift the ban" to use the sixth prince Jin Gong and the eighth prince Jin Gong; But Fu Ning's view is the opposite. Fu Ning believed that the new emperor would continue to suppress the princes, and would use a large number of newcomers to try to maintain the situation in the British Dynasty; Because the reinstatement of the princes will "prove" Jin Zheng's political failure, and once the princes are released, it will no longer be difficult to suppress; But if Jin Zheng can stabilize the current situation without the princes, it will prove that Jin Zheng is a "qualified and competent" emperor, then his throne can be completely stabilized, and then he can prove to the British people that he is right to suppress the princes.

In fact, Jin Zheng's actions were indeed as Fu Ning's judgment. Jin Zheng first contracted the coastal forces and forbade the sea again, stopping the naval battle with Ryuqiu; Then he named a "county lord of Annan" and began to order peace talks with Annan to negotiate "peace", and induced Annan to withdraw from the war with a rich "dowry"; Hong Chi, the imperial envoy of the Nine Gate Capital, was reinstated as the envoy of Chengying Jiedu and began to suppress the rebellion in the southwest; As for the war in the northern frontier, the military forces of Jianghuai and Xianghu began to mobilize a large number of troops to the northern Xinjiang, and Changwu, who was the former envoy of the Luying Jiedu and is now the history of the Suide patrol, is really Jin Zheng's secret chess, and now he was suddenly promoted to the third rank and transferred to the "Northwest General", commanding the northwest military and beginning to integrate the army to deal with the northwest rebels; The Horqin Mongols were rewarded and regained their tendency to lean towards the imperial court. The most bizarre thing is that the reinforcement "Shenji Battalion" of Wang Shuirong of Jingjun in Yuanbei Ning, Liaoxi, was equipped with a large number of breech guns, so Fu Ning once again affirmed that the so-called "Zheng Siye" is the fourth prince of the "late Qianping Emperor" and the current emperor Jin Zheng; It was also reaffirmed that in the first month of the 19th year of Qianping, he assassinated himself in Yangzhou, and in May of the 20th year of Qianping and December of the 21st year of Qianping, the people who stole the military technology of the chicken coop twice were all sent by the new emperor Jin Zheng.

Fu Ning didn't want the rebels in the northern Xinjiang to disturb the British Dynasty, because that would damage the interests of the Han people under the British Dynasty, so Yang Zhen, who Fu Ning sent to Beijing to "pay tribute and negotiate peace" with Jin Zheng, proposed to the imperial court a "tribute" proposal of trading 500,000 pieces of cold weapons at a fixed price, 10 million taels of silver, that is, Liuqiu would "pay tribute" to the imperial court for 500,000 pieces of cold weapons, and the imperial court would "reward" Liuqiu for real silver or grain equivalent to 10 million taels of silver.

The "suggestion" put forward by Yang Zhen on behalf of Liuqiu was stuck in the "throat" of the imperial court, and "it was difficult to swallow it", and the Northern Xinjiang battlefield where the British Dynasty was in flames was extremely short of soldiers and weapons, but it was extremely difficult for them to accept Liuqiu's "coercion" psychologically; So they put forward a request to reduce the volume of weapons trade, but Yang Zhen refused, and then they put forward a request to trade equivalent firearms, which was rejected by Yang Zhen again. The new emperor Jin Zheng was a decisive man, he simply left aside the Ministry of Rites and directly "summoned the Liuqiu envoy Yang Zhen for an interview", and finally finalized the "tribute" agreement.

The final "tribute" agreement was:

1. The 800,000 weapons of the British Imperial Court were tributary, including 400,000 steel swords, 200,000 strong bows, 100,000 crossbows, and 100,000 iron armors.

2. The imperial court rewarded Ryuqiu with grain, coal, cloth, cotton, iron ore, etc., worth 10 million taels, and the shortfall was made up with real silver.

3. The imperial court used two million taels worth of grain to buy 10,000 single-shot rear guns.

Fourth, the two sides traded in Yangzhou.

5. The imperial court canonized the territory of Liuqiu as the East China Sea State, and had jurisdiction over the five regions of Liuqiu, Penghu Hall, Luzon, Yingzhou (formerly the territory of the Wa Kingdom), and Xiaoliuqiu; The East China Sea recognized the British Dynasty as its suzerainty.

Sixth, the imperial court canonized Fu Ning as the king of the East China Sea, and the capital was Jilong City.

7. The imperial court opened the two ports of Yangzhou and Guangzhou to prohibit trade with the East China Sea State, but Liuqiu was not allowed to harass the coastal areas of the imperial court and was not allowed to trade with the imperial court in other areas.

Yang Zhen was given full power by Fu Ning when he paid tribute, but the third request strongly put forward by the new emperor Jin Zheng made Yang Zhen unable to make up his mind, and he had to urgently contact the chicken coop through the flying pigeon; After receiving the message, Fu Ning wanted to refuse, but after a little thought, he agreed. As for the fifth and sixth articles, Yang Zhen agreed without consulting Fu Ning at all, and the people of Liuqiu had long been dissatisfied with Fu Ning's vague political attitude, and had long wanted Fu Ning to establish the country and become king, so that Liuqiu's high-level officials could become "founding heroes".
