In the war room of the Wuwei Hall of Yingtianfu Hot Spring Palace, there is a duke with a sad face sitting at the end, he is Zhu Jishi's eldest son, Zhu Guojie, the Duke of Hong Kong. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 He was also very busy during this time, first he was sent by the crown prince to Dali Wangcheng Ava to help Zhu Guowei settle people's hearts, and then he was sent to Donghui Wangcheng Yingfu to arrange the establishment of Donghui court. Just finished being busy in Hong Kong, and caught up with the victory in the South China Sea naval battle, so he was sent back to Nanjing by Zhu Guoxiong to report the good news. But just arrived in Nanjing, the breath was not even, the bad news followed, the king of Dali Zhu Guowei was defeated again, trapped in Finney's ** million army broke through the siege and fled south by the British and Indian army all the way, suffered heavy casualties, and was captured countless times. The most troublesome thing is that Zhu Guowei, the king of Dali, also personally led the troops to break off, and now he is trapped in the city of Feni, and it looks like he is either killed or taken prisoner. So the good news becomes the bad news, and I don't know if it will become a funeral.

And Zhu Jishi sat there silently, listening to Zhu Guojie report the bad news of the defeat of King Dali in the heaviest tone. At this time, to be honest, Emperor Zhu complained a little bit about Zhu Guowei in his heart, and his son was a little tendoned. Will. Hai Ming Ming had already opened the net and let him run away, but he wanted to cut off the queen himself, what a wooden fish head - for a king, losing seventy or eighty thousand troops in a defeat is not a big deal! And before he also took the two kingdoms of Dali and Donghui, how could there be more than 100,000 Burmese troops and Indian troops that he wiped out, even if they were defeated in India, it would be just a "small setback", but if they were captured by the British, it would be a real fiasco!

Standing in front of the map, Shi Dakai of the War Department looked very ugly, it was supposed to be the time to open champagne to celebrate the victory, but now it will become a funeral for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person. Although Emperor Zhu is very capable of giving birth to sons, and is probably the emperor with the most sons in Chinese history, it is still a sad thing to die one, and he died so inexplicably. What's even more troublesome is that Zhu Guowei's death or capture in battle will definitely become the subject of great brag by the British. Most of the rebellions in India, which have managed to gain some momentum, will fall in fear......

Zhu Guojie finished reporting the "funeral" and stood there looking at the silent old man. There is also a book of the War Department with a blue face. The other staff officers in the war room were all busy with the matter at hand at this time, and they didn't dare to gasp. In the Wuwei Hall of Nuoda, it became silent for a while. In the end, it was the Duke of Hong Kong who spoke heavily.

"Father, in fact, surrendering when the ammunition is exhausted is a matter of course in Western military science. Zi Zhong (Zhu Guowei) and his subordinates have done their duty. They conquered Burma and Assam for the empire, and also inflicted heavy losses on the British Indian army in India, creating strong conditions for a decisive battle in the South China Sea. Speaking of the Empire's victory in the South China Sea, Zizhong also has a share of the credit. ”

Zhu Guojie said intermittently. And from time to time I looked at the old man's face. Unlike most of Emperor Zhu's children, he grew up in England. He also married Princess Helena of England, so his thinking was a little westernized, and he didn't think that being captured was a betrayal. And although he is not a son-in-law, he is the eldest brother after all, and he always has to maintain a benevolent image in front of the old man.

Before Zhu Guojie's words were finished, Shi Dakai also echoed, "Your Majesty, there are now more than 100,000 missing officers and soldiers, and many of them must have been captured by the enemy. This is a common occurrence in battle. Nor is the responsibility of the captured soldiers below......"

Yes, although the Ming Dynasty had the upper hand in the North American and South Seas theaters, it did not mean that all the battles and battles were won. After all, Emperor Zhu's army is composed of mortals who eat grains, and they are not heavenly soldiers and generals who cannot be killed, and the opponent is not tofu scum. On the North American battlefield alone, there are more than 300,000 killed and seriously wounded! More than 100,000 people are also missing. It is not an exaggeration to say that it will be a success! Although in Eastern culture, it is quite a shame to be captured. However, there was no provision in the regulations of the Ming army that no prisoners should be captured. However, it is still a great loss of dignity for a king to be captured.

Zhu Jishi snorted: "Let Zhu Guoliang take over as the king of Dali!" His Grand Duke Tanasarin gave ...... Rong Zhen thought about it for a few days. Ignoring the stunned faces of Zhu Guojie and Shi Dakai, Emperor Zhu continued to look down to himself, "Great China can tolerate a defeated king, but it must not tolerate a captured king...... As long as the national guard is no longer the king, there will be nothing left to be captured. In this South China Sea war. Wasn't Guohui almost captured? My prince fought for the country in front of the battle, and it was inevitable that he would fall into the hands of the enemy. ”

This is not bad, if Zhu Guohui swims more slowly, it is estimated that he will have to go to Australia to eat prison at this time. However, the sinking of the Yongli has nothing to do with him as a communications officer, and there is no country in the world that wants the communication officer to die when the warship sinks.

After listening to Emperor Zhu's words, Zhu Guojie's brows had not yet loosened, and he whispered: "But Brother Zizhong is determined to die for the country." He even sent the edict by telegram to the city of Ava, so that Ziwen (Zhu Guoliang) brother was enthroned as the king of Dali......"

Return the edict! Zhu Jishi sighed: "What a kid who doesn't know what to do!" Then call the prince and let him figure it out! ”

The meaning of finding a way is, of course, to ask the crown prince to call Luo Ange to find a way to protect Zhu Guowei, the "former king of Dali" with a wooden fish head. Needless to say, Zhu Guoxiong still has this brain.

After explaining Zhu Guowei's affairs, the good mood brought to Zhu Jishi by the victory in the South China Sea was long gone, he sighed softly, and asked Shi Dakai again: "Dare to be, can you have a plan to attack the Singapore fortress?" ”

Shi Dakai nodded, just about to speak. Zhu Guojie interjected first, "Father, Helena has received a telegram from her mother. ”

Helena's mother was, of course, Empress Victoria, the ruler of the British Empire, the mother-in-law and nemesis of Emperor Zhu Jishi.

"How?"

"Queen Victoria wants us to stop attacking Singapore and India." Zhu Guojie said in a low voice, "Singapore can surrender after running out of food." As for India...... The Empress wanted the British Empire to keep the colony. ”

"Victoria wants to keep India?" Zhu Jishi's brows furrowed.

Zhu Guojie said: "Father, the son also thinks that for the time being, don't fight India anymore...... If North America and India were to be lost at the same time, the British Empire would collapse completely, becoming a second-rate country that, like Germany, was dependent on the French colonies for raw materials and markets. In this way, France has a good chance of becoming the supreme leader of the white world, and a white world with a supreme leader is always bad for us. If we are to keep the British Empire as a world power, against France, Germany, Russia, and perhaps the United States, it is undoubtedly best for them to keep India, and to bring it under our bayonets. ”

When Zhu Jishi heard this, he nodded silently. To put it bluntly, this world war is a war between the yellow race and the white race for world hegemony -- if it were not for the death of Napoleon III two years ago, this "generation of heroes" of France would have jumped out to lead the white world against China. Although the current France is conservatively avoiding war under the influence of Mathilde and Eugénie, when the British Empire is really defeated by China, and the entire white world needs the French to stand up and lead, with the arrogant temper of the French, they will definitely take over the scepter of the white supreme leader to go against China.

And for China, it is possible to defeat the white world. But it is unrealistic to occupy the whole of America and Europe, kicking hundreds of millions of white people to the ground and trampling them under their feet forever -- this is almost the same as allowing Chinese civilization to dominate the world! Emperor Zhu did not have such lofty ideals, his idea was to dominate rather than unify. And if China wants to dominate the world, it cannot let the white civilization unite and unify, and there must be several white powers coexisting, and Britain is of course one of them.
