At the end of the year, the whole of Nanjing was in an uproar, and various organs and departments were busy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but as the master of the Prince's Mansion who is above the military, politics, finance, and law, Chen Ming is idle.

At this time, the monarch does not need to do any work report to his subjects, that thing is the business of various ministries.

Walking in the back garden, the Mandarin Duck Pavilion is hidden in the pines and cypresses, revealing a corner of the cornice. It is said that this is the only Fangsheng Pavilion in the south of the Yangtze River at present. Fang Sheng, also known as double diamond, refers to the overlap of two diamonds. The pavilion base wins, the upper is the double top, the distance looks like the double pavilion stands side by side, but the close look is a pavilion alone, small and exquisite, quite chic.

Chen Ming thinks it's very good-looking, the eaves are warped, like a pair of mandarin ducks that want to fly, under the shade of green pines and cypresses and loquat laurel trees, it is very vivid. Chen Ming knew that there were still some vivid and realistic carvings of dragons, phoenixes, lions and tigers in that pavilion. And into the Fangsheng Pavilion, the hexagonal pavilion on the rockery in the east, and the untied boat in the pool in the west, it is still a good scene of the left and right.

Chen Ming's Prince's Mansion is very large. This place was the political center of Jiangnan in the Ming Dynasty in the past, and the Qing Dynasty set up the Yamen of the Governor of Liangjiang here, and during the Qianlong period, it was the South Patrol Palace. If Chen Ming hadn't changed the history of China, it would still be the seat of the Heavenly King's Mansion of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom eighty years later. After the Hunan army conquered Tianjing, Zeng Guofan followed the scale and layout of the old governor's office three years ago in Xianfeng and rebuilt it, and it was still the Manchu Liangjiang Governor's Palace. Later, Sun Dacang was inaugurated as the provisional president here, and Chang Kaishen's presidential palace was also here.

After Chen Han established the relocation of the capital, as the location of the prince's mansion, it was comprehensively 'refreshed'. Verdant pines, cypresses, and bamboos are dotted with mountain stones, and evergreen plants such as pipa, laurel, and magnolia decorate the evergreen garden landscape in all seasons.

The most outstanding craftsmen in the south of the Yangtze River have been busy here for more than a year. Ancient cypress vines and vines are everywhere, and hundreds of years old objects abound, decorating the garden with interest. A small garden transplants more than 100 ancient trees, scattered in various places in the garden, and places all kinds of mountain stone bonsai, which is strange and strange.

Among them, there is a bonsai made of fossilized wood, which at first glance looks like a piece of rotten wood that has been exposed to the sun for a long time, but it is sonorous and sonorous, and it is stone, which is particularly precious. Chen Ming liked it very much when he saw it, and directly moved the bonsai back to his study.

The area of this garden is not large, it is 50 meters deep from north to south, and 80 meters wide from east to west, but the ancient cypress and old acacia and strange flowers and plants, as well as the pavilions and palaces dotted among them and the criss-crossing paths, make the whole garden both ancient and quiet, but also lose the royal atmosphere.

The stone mountain "pile show" built with Taihu Lake stone stacking, the mountain is steep, the road is steep, and the technique of stacking stones is very novel. The Yujing Pavilion on the mountain is the place to climb during the Chung Yeung Festival in the Prince's Mansion. Including Fang Sheng Pavilion, the layout of the eight pavilions in the whole back garden is symmetrical but not rigid, stretching but not scattered, or built by the mountain next to the wall, or standing alone, all of which are exquisite and chic, sparse and dense.

Chen Ming's business ended early today, and it snowed again in Nanjing, and the whole world was covered with a layer of white. The back garden covered with white snow is sure to have a different view.

The northeast Fubi Pavilion style of the garden is unique in the back garden, the hard mountain style top is paved with green glazed tiles, the upper and lower colors of the spotted bamboo pattern paint are painted, the doors and windows are also decorated with Nanmu without oil, the beams, fangs, columns, and frames are wrapped in verdant green bamboo, and the whole building gives people a sense of simplicity and elegance, thus creating a relaxed and elegant atmosphere for the southeast corner of the garden. Among the eight pavilions in the garden, Fubi Pavilion is the most loved by Chen Ming, in the past, most of the people who went to the back garden to relax were to stop here, but today the maidservants outside the Fubi Pavilion are solemn, but there is no one in the pavilion.

The corner from the Fubi Pavilion is the main road to the south of the back garden, along the road strange stones Luobu, good trees stand up, green cypress vines reflect the thin white snow. Chen Ming accompanied Li Xiaomei on the trail slowly, just slowly, looking at Li Xiaomei with a smile on the corner of her mouth and a satisfied expression, a warm feeling permeated his heart.

It's been a long time since they've been walking so alone.

As if he had suddenly woken up, Chen Ming looked back at Li Xiaomei, who was full of happiness, and couldn't help but feel a burst of pity in his heart, and hugged her into her arms with both hands, "I've been snubbing you these days." ”

Li Xiaomei, who was in her arms, twisted her body unconsciously, and tried to raise her head not to look at Chen Ming, but to turn behind her, as if she was still uncertain and did not accompany her.

"Huh." Smiling softly, Chen Ming let go of her lovingly, but held her hand firmly. "These days are busy with government affairs, and I really can't take a break. But when he ascends the throne next year, he won't be too busy. ”

At that time, he had to change the system and re-establish the status of the chamber. The first and auxiliary ministers of the cabinet also want to return to their positions!

"What progress has been made in state affairs in the past few days, why do I think you are in a much happier mood?" Li Xiaomei doesn't care about national affairs, she keeps her duty very much, and takes care of things in the house carefully, just like this kind of questioning is just a stained skin.

Chen Ming smiled loudly and did not answer, but the pride in him could not be more obvious.

In the morning, he received several reports from the Military Intelligence Agency. There was nothing special in the report, but intelligence from Quang Nam indicated that the French were constantly getting close to South Vietnam; Intelligence from Myanmar suggests that the British have compromised Myanmar over some territorial disputes between Manipur and Bengal, and bilateral relations are heating up.

Chen Ming didn't have to think about it to know what the situation was.

Although he had never expected that France would continue to 'advance' into South Vietnam, and the time when the British 'advanced' into Burma was not at the same time and space as the history of the previous time and space, as a time-traveler, he didn't need to turn his mind to know the British and French plans.

The British attach great importance to India and certainly do not want China to take a piece of the pie;

China's territory not only borders Myanmar in the southwest, but also Siam, which has a deep hatred for Myanmar, and its king is also of Chinese descent, and the Chinese occupy an important position in Siam's military, government, and commerce. As long as the Fu Han army cleared the Qing army in the northwest and northeast, it is likely to turn around and blow the horn of war to Burma.

Of course, Burma could not withstand the attack of China and Siam, and when Burma was destroyed, the Chinese who occupied the mouth of the Bay of Bengal also bordered the British sphere of influence. Their eyes are on India.

It is much easier for China to communicate with India through Myanmar than through Tibet.

The British supported Burma as a thug to block the attacks of China and Siam. And when the French attacked South Vietnam, Chen Ming had a feeling of history repeating itself. In contrast to John Bull's innocence, the French intentions are a little more ambiguous.

But Chen Ming was not worried about this at all. Because time has played a big joke on Britain and France, their decision-makers certainly did not expect that next year would be the outbreak of the Revolutionary War between Laos and the United States. Even if the guns in Lexington don't go off next year, Chen Ming feels that the contradiction between the thirteen North American states and London will reach a critical point, and war will break out sooner or later.

Even if the time is delayed, it will not last long. Not next year, the year after next, can Lao Mei endure it for ten or eight years? During the Seven Years' War, the pressure on the London government to spend money was passed on to the Americans, and the degree of oppression was to squeeze people dry.

When war broke out in North America, would the British still be able to support Burma and China? Do they have the courage and energy?

And was soon moved by the Americans, deeply implicated in the war, and dragged its ally Spain, the Gallic rooster that banged with John Bull in every corner of the Western world, and Louis XVI, who spent the last Livre in the Bourbon treasury, would ignore his 'blood feud' with London because of the small Quang Nam country, and concentrate on taking care of his colonial cause in South Vietnam, and ignore Franklin's 'begging'? That's impossible.

The Gallic Rooster and John Bull are now bitterly hateful.

Don't think that the victory of the American War of Independence was fought by themselves, if it weren't for the French who contributed money and efforts to drag their allies to fight a 'volunteer war' with the British all over the world, Washington would have been hanged and hung on the hanging platform to dry meat.

Like the British, Chen Ming did not believe that the French, in addition to fighting the North American War of Independence, had the strength to continue to support the decaying Quang Nam Kingdom under Chinese pressure. Seriously, Bai Duo Loc found the wrong person, and he should have found the Nguyen brothers rather than South Vietnam. But there are no pities in this world!

There is a second piece of intelligence on the Quang Nam side, which is about the Xishan Army.

While it is snowing in northern China, it is the coolest dry season of the year in Annam. Nguyen Hue, the commander of the Tay Son Army, led his army to attack the Quang Nam Army from Quy Nhin, and the two sides engaged the Quang Nam Army in the area of Jin Sa (around Da Nang), first defeated and then victorious, destroying more than 20,000 Quang Nam troops and directly opening the passage to attack Phu Xuan, the capital of Quang Nam.

In the battle of Jinsha, in addition to the unsatisfactory start, the rest of the army played very beautifully, Ruan Hue Yu confronted the Quang Nam army led by Ruan Jiufa in charge of the Hu She camp under the command of Ruan Hui, and the general of the Quang Nam Army, Du Thanh Ren, also arrived at the right time, and then defeated the Xishan army led by Ruan Hui on both sides, but the old army of Ruan Hue was good at fighting, and did not lose many men and horses, and the main force still existed.

Nguyen Hue then retired to Hoi An and passed on the water division, and the third elder of the Ruan family, Ruan Lu, led 3,000 water divisions to arrive. In addition, more than 5,000 people led by Ruan Yue, Li Cai, and Jiting also arrived, and it can be said that the Xishan Army pressed all its capital in this battle. The Guangnan Army did not know that the Xishan Army had received two reinforcements before and after, because at this time the Guangnan Army was changing generals in battle, Zhang Fuluan's son Zhang Fusheng replaced Ruan Jiufa to control the military power, Zhang Fusheng was not at all the material to lead the troops to fight, and just arrived at the front line and hastily let the governor Zheng Rui go first, as a result, the Guangnan Army was defeated and returned, and Zheng Rui died directly in the battle.

The morale of the Xishan Army was greatly increased. However, the morale of the Quang Nam Army plummeted because of the self-defeating tricks of Nguyen Lord Nguyen Phuc Chun. Nguyen Phuc Chun not only transferred the general Nguyen Jiufa back to the court, but also recalled the famous general Du Thanh Nhon to Phu Xuan together. Although such military power was firmly in the hands of Zhang Fuluan and his party, the morale of the Guangnan Army also fell to the extreme.

Zhang Fusheng was as timid as a mouse, he originally won Ruan Jiufa's position for merit, but when he saw that Zheng Rui not only did not win, but was defeated, he was really on the spot, and immediately startled, and ordered the whole army to retreat to Jinsha, so that the already low morale of the Guangnan Army was completely cleared.

The Xishan Army was full of spirits, and Nguyen Hue led the army to re-enter Jinsha, and the Quang Nam Army in Jinsha in World War II was defeated and lost. The loss of troops is close to 20,000!

After Chen Ming saw it, he didn't know how he had changed his evaluation of Ruan Fuchun. This man is an absolute idiot.

What's even more ridiculous is that Ruan Phuc Chun saw that the passage for the Xishan Army to attack Fuchun had been opened, and immediately learned from Song Huizong. He fled south to Jiading [Saigon] with the princes and ministers, and gave way to his nephew Nguyen Phuc Yang, proclaiming himself King Taishang.

Although there is a lot of territory in Quang Nam, there can be more than 100,000 soldiers and horses gathered all over the country, and there are also Du Qingren, Ruan Jiufa, Wu Xing and other generals and famous generals, the country is still promising. Fuchun still has 10,000 soldiers and horses, where can the Xishan Army easily conquer? But with the abandonment and abdication of Ruan Fuchun, a wreck, a smell of declining mountains emerged.

"To say that before the Second Battle of Jinsha, the Quang Nam Kingdom was still strong and controlled most of the territory, and the country still has a lot to do. After the Second Battle of Jinsha, the Xishan Army changed from weak to strong, and it really had the ability to destroy the foundation of the Ruan family. ”

In the Annam Civil War in this time and space, without the North Vietnamese Zheng Sen, Zheng Sen took the opportunity to send the general Huang Wufu to lead the 50,000 troops of Shuibu to the south to attack Quang Nam, and the Xishan Army actually fought alone and brought down the Quang Nam Army little by little. Of course, it is different from the progress of the previous life, and there is Chen Han secretly making trouble.

But now the Xishan Army still has won enough strategic advantages, and the battle of Fuchun in Guangnan has very few possibilities to be won. And if the Xishan Army captures Fuchun, the Northern and Southern Dynasties in Quang Nam will also be able to lay a foundation.

The intervention of the Fu Han Army made the historical Romance of the Three Kingdoms of Annan become the current two-by-two hegemony, and the four forces are holding each other back, and Chen Ming really played Annan badly. Li Xiaomei knows Quang Nam, she also knows the Xishan Army, and she also knows that the lord of Nan Quang has a strange surname - Ruan Phuc. But this is too far from her daily life.

Chen Ming didn't tell her about national affairs, unless he showed off to her when he was proud. She didn't feel how hateful her husband's 'hehey' evil smile was, although Chen Ming's triumphant smile made her think of the fox after stealing the chicken, but as long as Chen Ming was happy.

"Does Your Highness want to take back North Vietnam and then establish a country in South Vietnam?" Li Xiaomei has heard Chen Ming say more than once, "The world is big, let's look outward", she knew that Chen Ming had plans to launch a war with foreign countries to seize territory, and also knew that Chen Ming wanted to divide the feudal system for his sons and establish a feudal state by himself.

This was a vassal state with a great deal of independence and autonomy, and it was completely different from the internal vassal state of Korea.

Although Li Xiaomei felt that in this way, the power of the vassal king was inevitably too strong, and if Chen Ding inherited the throne in the future, it would have a certain impact on the emperor's authority. But I also know that this can be the greatest guarantee for the generations of the Chen family. When the world is peaceful, the suzerainty supports the vassal state; And when the Central Plains fell, the vassal states could in turn support the suzerain. Can't all the vassal states prosper and decline along with the Central Plains, right?

Li Xiaomei, who has limited knowledge, thought like this, and the calculation in Chen Ming's heart only knew that it was the size of a fingernail. Let Chen Ming know her thoughts, and he had to laugh out loud.

He will not set up a vassal state in Indochina, and he will not set up a vassal state even in Nanyang. All of East Asia must become China's backyard, including Australia. The future vassal states were in the Americas, in Central Asia...... (To be continued.) )
