The American War came to an end temporarily, and the Qi and Lu states developed step by step, supporting a large amount of grain and other materials from the Xia Empire to supplement the grain that had failed due to the war; A large number of administrative cadres were also dispatched to establish a sound administrative system in the two kingdoms. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

While accepting Americans who have migrated from the Midwest, the United States is actively preparing for sending troops.

Zhang Wei focused on the matter of accepting concubines. Anne Rothschild is not a system member and can't fully understand Zhang Wei's thoughts, even if he simply holds a wedding, it can't be too simple, after all, people sponsor a dowry worth 3 billion yuan in the empire, and he doesn't look at people's face but also looks at the face of money, besides, this is also to give outsiders a good impression.

Originally, Zhang Wei planned to marry Anne in August, but the Jewish family had to marry in September, and their opinion was that according to the custom of the imperial wedding, it should be 1 year after the engagement to marry, but the royal propaganda department has always insisted that it was to marry the queen, and the concubine was not affected by this custom, and in the end, Zhang Wei made a compromise and made a small concession, and the wedding was scheduled to be held in Beijing on September 15.

Zhang Wei is in such a hurry to hold the wedding because he has two things on his mind, the first is to estimate that the empress dowager and the emperor of the Great Qing State should be about to die, and after their deaths, they will ask Yuan Shikai to launch a coup d'état, overthrow the Great Qing State, and establish a state power with the Chinese as the main body. The second thing is that Zhang Wei is going to go to Lu State again, resettle the 4 million peasants rewarded by the system upgrade, and by the way, after the United States launches a war against Mexico, Mexico will also become the sphere of influence of the Xia Empire.

Originally, it was planned to take Anne and the others to Beijing in advance, but it was much easier on the wedding day.

However, Anne insisted that Zhang Wei send someone to pick her up from the ghetto, since she could not hold a grand wedding in Shangjing, it should not be too shabby on the side of the mother's family who got married.

Zhang Wei understood her mind very well, it was nothing more than the vanity of a girl, or the family's desire to expand the family's influence among the Jews.

Due to the war between the Xia Empire and the United States, many Jewish families became impoverished, and all of them were sent to the Jewish District by the Xia Empire to live, and the population of the Special Economic Zone increased by hundreds of thousands. The Xia Empire also treated the Jews relatively mildly, and did not take drastic actions, and the Jews with special skills were all issued green cards and stayed in the Lu State to continue to live.

Now the Rothschilds have become the largest Jewish family, which used to be only economically powerful, but now it is also the largest family among Jews in terms of political influence.

In order to demonstrate to the Jews the strong naval strength of the Xia Empire, stabilize the hearts of the Jews, and also to earn face for the Rothschilds, Zhang Wei prepared to send one Xia-class battleship, two Baiqi-class battlecruisers and 10 destroyers to the port of Bima, the Jewish District, before September 10.

Being able to lead the world's most advanced battleships and battle cruisers to travel, even if they don't go to war, it also makes people excited, and marrying the emperor is also a matter of face, Yang Yili and Li Zhaoshui have earned for a long time, and finally let Yang Yili earn the opportunity, mainly because Zhang Wei is afraid that Li Zhaoshui will have a bad temper and is not suitable for meticulous work such as receiving relatives.

Before leaving, Yang Yili assured Zhang Wei that he would definitely bring Princess Anna to Beijing safely, and he would definitely build enough momentum to earn face for the empire and the princess.

Yang Yili asked the officers and men of the fleet to clean all the warships a long time ago, and decorate the warships beautifully with colored flags.

On 9 September, all officers and men were required to change into snow-white naval uniforms, and to line up on the deck except for those who normally operated the warship, so as to give the Jews a strong visual impact as soon as they entered the port.

The Rothschilds had already received a telegram from Yang Yili that the wedding fleet would arrive at the port of Bima on the morning of September 9, when nearly 100,000 people were standing on the dock, ready to watch the Xia Empire's wedding fleet.

At half past nine o'clock, the fleet sailed into the mouth of the bay, with two destroyers exploring the way in front and taking the lead, followed by the Xia-class battleships, then two Baiqi-class battlecruisers, and finally eight destroyers in two rows, sailing in the shape of goose wings, protecting the flanks and rear flanks of the fleet.

After simply passing through the narrow entrance of the bay and entering the bay, the battleship's mountain-like hull appeared in the eyes of the crowd on the shore.

Eventually, the entire fleet was moored 500 meters from the pier.

The Xia-class battleships were located in the middle of the city, flanked by 2 Baiqi-class battlecruisers, and 3 capital ships anchored; It was surrounded by 8 destroyers.

After arranging the defense of the fleet, Yang Yili led the people who received his relatives to enter the port on two destroyers.

Although the Xia Empire helped to clear the waterway, the water at the pier was still too shallow to ensure the safety of battleships and battlecruisers, so they could only anchor in the bay.

At a distance of more than 500 meters, the masses on the shore could still see the huge body of the complete battleship, as well as the thick and dark barrels; Those with telescopes can also carefully observe the mighty officers and sailors of the warship.

Therefore, people sighed that this was a weapon to protect the country, and after the establishment of the country, the government must purchase this invincible battleship from the Xia Empire to protect the country.

Felier and the others had already lined up on the shore to greet Yang Yili and his party; The Xia Empire arranged such a powerful fleet to welcome his relatives, which made Felier and the others feel very embarrassed.

Of course, there are also some Jews who lament that money can make it expensive; Some people also lamented that this was the perfect combination of power and money, the Xia Empire was financially supported by the Jewish family, and the Jews were sheltered by the Xia Empire regime; Some girls are even more envious, if someone arranges such a domineering wedding team to marry them, it will not be in vain, and it will be worth dying.

In order to let the Jews get closer to the battleship, feel the strength of the Xia Empire, and earn face for the Rothschild family, Yang Yili made a short speech on the dock and announced that today and tomorrow, 500 primary and secondary school students can be arranged to visit the battleship every day, have lunch with the officers and soldiers, and experience military life; At the same time, 2,000 people could be received a day to visit the battleships and battlecruisers, and those who needed to visit had to sign up with the Rothschilds and they were responsible for the review.

Yang Yili's decision gave the Rothschilds enough face to understand the closeness of the Rothschilds to the Xia Empire, and gave them the opportunity to get closer to the Jews.

Felier hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Yang Yili's hand and said, "Thank you, Chief of Staff Yang!" I was so excited that I didn't know what to say. ”

"Haha, Your Excellency the Governor, you are so polite."

James also stepped forward to greet Yang Yili, the two were old acquaintances, James said: "Chief of Staff Yang, you are so majestic, is this the most advanced battleship and battle cruiser in the Empire?" ”

Yang Yili quipped, "Should I call you Earl James?" Or the president? Or do you call yourself a director? “

"You can call it whatever you want, first introduce me to this new warship, I feel itchy when I see it."

Yang Yili said solemnly: "That's not good, my title is much lower than yours, and I don't dare to be casual in front of the earl." “

"Do you have to get up in front of me? Believe it or not, at noon I will send someone to get you drunk and make you look like a foreigner. “

Yang Yili pretended to be scared and said: "Lord Earl, you are the earl of the emperor himself, if you want to know about the warship, you can go to the ship at any time, let the captain personally lead you to visit, and let him explain to you in person, it will definitely be more comprehensive and accurate than what I said." ”

Seeing James and Yang Yili joking, everyone knew that their relationship was definitely not shallow, but they didn't expect that they would be able to joke casually, which made the surrounding Jews respect James more, besides, this time it was James who defied public opinion and resolutely sold dollars and dollar assets, so that the SAR not only did not lose, but also made a lot of profits, making James's political status in the Jewish District more and more lofty.

Not only James, but also other synthetics with Jewish identity secretly sent by Zhang Wei have now integrated into Jewish society, gradually emerging in various industries such as medical care, education, and commerce in the SAR, and in government agencies, the military, and intelligence and finance, synthetic Jews occupy a major decision-making position and play an increasingly important role.

On the morning of September 11, Anna said goodbye to her relatives and friends, and boarded the Xia-class battleship with several of her brothers and sisters and other relatives; The fleet returned to Shangjing.

On the afternoon of 13 September, the fleet arrived at the West Military Port in Shangjing, where the Premier of the Government Council personally greeted him and held a grand welcome banquet at the naval officers' cafeteria in the military port. You must know that the annual rent of the Special Zone was given to the government by Zhang Wei as a construction fund, which became a major financial revenue of the government, and the construction of the Special Zone also stimulated the sales of industrial products in the Xia Empire, which can be regarded as an opportunity for Zheng Daoyou to win over Governor Felier.

On the morning of September 15, a simple wedding was held in the Shenwu Hall of the Imperial Palace, attended mainly by high-ranking military and political personnel of the empire in Beijing, ambassadors of various countries in Beijing, and relatives of the imperial concubine Anna.

At the wedding, Zhang Wei announced that in order to deepen the friendship between the Xia Empire and the Jewish people, on the premise that the rent would not increase, Lombok and Bali would also be placed under the jurisdiction of the Jewish Special Quarter, so as to settle more and more Jews.

This is Zheng Daoyou's suggestion, anyway, the Jews will leave here in the future, and the infrastructure they built will be left intact to the Xia Empire, so it is better to let the Jews use these two desert islands for free, let them build them for free, and when they return them to the Xia Empire, these two desert islands will definitely develop very prosperous.

Zhang Wei thought to himself, now that the territory of the Xia Empire is expanding too fast, there is no energy and personnel to build these two desert islands, instead of being idle, it is better to adopt Zheng Daoyou's suggestion, let the Jews build for free, and befriend the Jews, so that they owe the empire a favor, which can be regarded as a welcome gift to the imperial princess Anna.

Zhang Wei's decision made Ferrier at the wedding very excited, and his face was much more rosy with joy, but he knew that the two islands were relatively flatter, the land was more fertile, and there was also the Lombok Strait, a seafaring route, which was very suitable for Jews who were good at business and trade.
