"This is our last chance, you have to be careful, if it can't be done this time, it means that my previous efforts have been lost!"

Shanghai is a city that never sleeps, and it's full of lights. Ever since electricity was brought here, the city has been in a state of almost eternal daylight.

Looking at the pearl-like street lamp in front of him, Zheng Sen's slightly thin lips were tightly pursed.

Under the huge parasol on the seashore, there was a round table, and more than ten of them sat around this round table, most of these people were Zheng Sen's subordinates who had gathered over the years, and some were the widows of the former Ming Dynasty who had contacted him after a long period of temptation.

Around them, there were people at the scattered tables who stayed far away, and their role was to keep an eye on the surroundings so that no one could lean on. Zheng Sen was worried that the wall had ears, so he chose the place for the secret meeting on the beach of Shanghai by the Shenjiang River. In recent years, Shanghai has developed very fast, the nightlife has become rich, and this beach has also been opened up, and the lights are turned on at night and a pergola is set up for people to enjoy the night view of Shanghai.

"Thirteen years............

Zheng Sen had been away from Huaxia for thirteen years, and after he rescued Chongzhen with Yu Guozhen, he went to the Wa Kingdom, used the Wa Kingdom as a base, recruited the old Zheng clan and the frustrated warriors of the Wa State, and pulled out a team. Then he embarked on a new adventure, taking advantage of Yu Guozhen's war with the Dutch and the Spaniards, and the severance of trade between the East and the West, he began to smuggle arms into the Americas, and even seized a port in the narrow area of China and the United States, and built the city of Yanping.

As long as he did not return to China, Yu Guozhen turned a blind eye to his development in the Americas, and in exchange for some resources needed by China, Yu Guozhen connived at his smuggling to a certain extent at that time.

At that time, Zheng Sen also thought that he would forget his father's revenge with Yu Guozhen, go away, and become a character similar to a bearded guest.

But the news of Yu Guozhen's proclamation as emperor on behalf of Ming reached Yanping City, and at this time, a fire suddenly burned in Zheng Sen's heart.

How dare Yu Guozhen do such a thing!

At that time, Zheng Sen secretly swore that one day he would go west and revive the Ming Dynasty. He even studied the Kasuke of the Wakoku Yamanaka and made an oath of hardship.

For this reason, he has endured in Yanping Port to this day.

"I want to know, who is our self-standard, why not Yu Guozhen himself?" A voice rang out.

"Originally, this time I came to Yu Guozhen himself, we thought...... Yu Guozhen plotted to usurp the throne, and he monopolized power over the years, losing the heart of a scholar, as long as he was excepted, then the people of the world would naturally return to the Ming Dynasty. But these days are going around, we find that this is unlikely, the people have already attached themselves, Yu Guozhen's means are really good, in just eight years, the heart of the world has been settled......"

One of the people next to him sighed and said, this person is Feng Chengshi, who was the person raised by Zhu Yousong, and he has been unhappy since then, and finally chose to take refuge in his fellow countryman Zheng Sen. He has an alert temperament and has been one of Zheng Sen's main advisers in recent years.

Zheng Sen nodded slightly, returning to China for the first time in eight years, he found that this Huaxia was no longer the original, the world was new, and Yu Guozhen's propaganda work was done extremely thoroughly, even if the people were still living a hard life, they did not blame the new dynasty - they could not blame, after all, in addition to building roads and embankments, which was beneficial to everyone, the Huaxia Dynasty completely exempted the people from the land endowment, and this alone made the farmers of the world return to their hearts.

The requirements of the people of Huaxia are really not high, the imperial court no longer pays taxes, even if they serve in their hometowns, and the government still has to manage the food money, which will rebel in this case? Former? That Ming Dynasty was taxed decades later? It's long overdue!

After all, Huaxia is an agricultural country, and even if Yu Guozhen vigorously promoted industrialization, in the past ten years, only about 15% of the Chinese population has become a pure industrial population. Yu Guozhen's plan was to increase the industrial population by one percent every year, so that by 30 years, China would be completely industrialized. But at least for now, as long as the peasants are still stable, the world will be peaceful, and Yu Guozhen will have a sufficient supply of troops.

When Feng Chengshi said this, he sighed with some emotion, and then continued: "And Yu Guozhen is the most important system, the operation of the Chinese Dynasty, and the management of the country have all formed a system, even if Yu Guozhen is dead, no one dares to challenge this system in a short period of time, and even if he changes the world without the surname Yu, it will still not change." If there is anyone in this world who can make the Huaxia Dynasty system collapse, there is no doubt that it is Yu Guozhen himself! ”

After saying this, someone laughed: "Yu Guozhen single-handedly built this system, how could he collapse it himself?" ”

"Exactly, exactly!"

"Quiet!" Feng Chengshi snorted, everyone fell silent, and he continued: "Under normal circumstances, Yu Guozhen will naturally not be like this, but what about abnormal situations? Did you read the newspaper the day before yesterday? ”

"What?"

"Ma Shiying and Huang Zongxi returned from Europa, and Huaxia organized an anti-British alliance in Europa, and an agreement has been reached to dismember England." When Feng Chengshi said this, he sneered: "Thanks to Yu Guozhen, now we are very familiar with the countries of Europa!" ”

In addition to the general news, the newspapers also reported the terms reached between China and France, Spain, Portugal, and Sweden. After the dismemberment of England, China traded Ireland for the Portuguese port of Ceuta and built a military port in Africa's northernmost port that strangles the Mediterranean Mediterranean, so that the Chinese West Sea Fleet would not have to anchor in Lisbon. At the same time, England under the future Protectorate ruled Oxford west of London to China as compensation for the destruction of Confucius Academies and the killing of Chinese scholars, and at the same time, the Chinese warships had the right of free passage on the Taiwuz River, and London did not have forts, and its maritime security was jointly protected by the Chinese West Sea Fleet and the Royal Fleet of England.

"What about this news, it's just that Yu Guozhen's momentum has increased." Someone sighed: "Yu Guozhen has expanded his territory and has more prestige, and it is even more impossible to shake his rule..... …．．”

"At the beginning, someone intended to hope for the next generation, Yu Guozhen has now confirmed that his son Yu Xiang is the crown prince, and in two days it will be the time of Yu Xiang's wedding, and when Yu Xiang has another heir, the trend of three generations of inheritance will become .........."

Everyone began to talk again, Feng Chengshi's eyebrows were slightly raised, and he patted the table lightly: "Everyone, listen to me!" ”

Only then did everyone think that they were not here to praise Yu Guozhen, but to deal with Yu Guozhen.

"Yu Guozhen has high hopes for Yu Xiang and has always been cultivating Yu Xiang according to the heir, everyone knows that Yu Xiang stayed in the army for four years, because of his exploits with the Rakshasa people, he was promoted to the position of regiment commander, and then retired to Jinzhou Shipyard, served as an assistant to the manager for three years, and then transferred to the Qingdao Municipal Bureau, as the municipal bureau planner... After serving as the secretary of the department for three years, he has now been transferred to Zhejiang Province and served as the consultant of the Engineering Bureau of the Provincial Governor's Office......"

Yu Xiang's experience should be considered rich, in fact, not only Yu Xiang, Yu Guozhen's children, most of them have relatively rich employment experience and as long as they are healthy men, they must serve in the army. This made Zheng Sen very admirable, he now has children, but he is unwilling to let his children suffer this kind of hardship.

"If something happens to Yu Xiang, then Yu Guozhen will definitely be angry and angry with him, and let him go against the grain, which is our only chance."

"That can only make Yu Guozhen take revenge on us a hundredfold!" Someone was angry and said, "That won't do us any good, it's better to keep waiting!" ””

"The Assassins are not us, they are Europa, French and English to be exact. The English were trying to take revenge on the French, but they wanted to prevent Yu Guozhen from reaching out to Europa. Feng Chengshi said calmly: "Don't worry, the people who come forward are not our people. ””

As soon as these words came out, everyone was surprised.

Zheng Sen ignored everyone's surprise, he just looked at the river, the lights on the opposite side were so bright, making the night very unreal.

Zheng Sen didn't know if his efforts could be effective, but the country hated the family, and he had to realize his thoughts before he died.

Yu Guozhen was angry with England and Europa because of Yu Xiang's death, and he must go on an expedition, coupled with the tug-of-war with the Rakshasa people and the confrontation with the Persians, just like the three major expeditions of Wanli, which will consume the national strength of the Huaxia Dynasty. From thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift, the people who are used to living a good life, how much love they love Yu Guozhen now, how much hatred they will have for Yu Guozhen at that time!

Such a conspiracy is indispensable in any era, but it has nothing to do with Niu Yu and Lai Buchen, who did not know that such a conspiracy lurked in this glorious city, but just ran around every place in Shanghai in amazement, like every Europa who first arrived in Shanghai, and watched everything here.

Not only them, but also Huang Zongxi, because he has not returned to China for too long, it is also full of chaos in Shanghai.

Today, Shanghai is a big city with a population of 800,000, and the population is close to Jinling, not inferior to Yangzhou. Because of proper planning, the whole city is not crowded in one place, but takes both sides of the Huangpu River as the central area, extending outward to five annex cities. The central area is mainly residential and commercial areas, and all the industries are arranged in the five annexes, making the environment of the central area quite good. Two slow-speed narrow-gauge railways connect the central area with the annexed city, and it will take no more than an hour to travel from the central area to any of the annexed cities.

After two days of running, Huang Zongxi took a ship to Jinling to pay respects to his deceased Qian Qianyi and other old friends, while Niu Yu was left behind in Shanghai. He was placed in the Oriental Academy in Shanghai, which was open to foreign scholars, and the huge library and the massive number of Chinese classics in it made Niu Yu forget to go shopping, and he spent his days going back and forth between the dormitory and the library.

Until Isabella appeared in front of him.

Zheng Sen built Yanping Port City in the United States, and it was not only the wandering warriors of the Wa Kingdom who took refuge in him, but also a large number of Europas, who succumbed to his powerful means and were willing to serve him, and Isabella was one of them. The purpose of her appearance here is to get close to Niu Dull and the ministers.

Because with Feng Chengshi's understanding of Yu Xiang, Yu Xiang is very likely to meet these two Europa people who have come all the way here.

In Feng Chengshi's opinion, Isabella will definitely not have any problem seducing the bloody Niu Dull, as long as she can get close to Yu Xiang through Niu Dut's relationship, then she can not only realize their plan, but also blame those so-called neo-Confucians by the way.

Zheng Sen felt that his layout should be foolproof. (To be continued)
