"Wang Jue! You're back...... Father he ...... "Zhu Mu at this moment according to the traditional etiquette, has changed into a white filial piety clothes, as soon as he saw his classmate, who is also his cousin Wang Jue, he stepped forward and said mournfully: "Father, he ......"

"Mourning changes...... Since His Majesty the Emperor has already done a great job, then you must take care of your body and control your emotions! Wang Jue was wearing a military uniform, although he was not straight, but he had an indescribable taste. He saw his classmate Zhu Mu in the Middle Pole Hall, or the crown prince Zhu Mu, who is now the heir of the empire.

He held Zhu Mu's shoulder with his hand, and then reported the current situation softly: "I didn't bring many new troops, only the second division of the new army that had just been built...... But having taken control of the city gate and Miyagi, His Highness's safety has been ensured. ”

Then Wang Jue paused and continued: "I have ordered the 1st Division of the New Army, led by Acting Division Commander Zhang Jianjun, to go to Shanhaiguan to put pressure on the Liaodong rebels. Any news on the Navy? I don't think General Zhang Rude is a person who can forget about losses. ”

"The news just came that General Zhang Rude led the Huashan and other battleships of the Navy to sink a battleship of the Japanese Navy, which can be regarded as avenging the Wuyishan. Uncle Wang's intention was to handle General Lu Chongwen's funeral later, and first handle his father's funeral before discussing anything else. ”

Wang Jue shook his head, waved his hand and said, "With this God-given opportunity, how can His Highness miss the opportunity to buy people's hearts?" His Royal Highness should immediately draft a decree to promote General Lu Chongwen to the rank of the first rank and give him a generous burial. ”

Zhu Mu was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Wang Jue. Wang Jue touched his nose, and then explained: "Your Majesty's funeral, that is Your Highness's mourning, but General Lu Chongwen's funeral, but Your Highness, you stabilize the army's heart, in order to draw the starting point of the world...... Remember the oath we made? In this world, we must conquer together! ”

Hearing Wang Jue's explanation, Zhu Mu nodded, and looked at a middle-aged fat man beside him who had handed over the authority to him, this fat man's two small eyes were like slits, and there was a simple smile on his face, which made people feel that he was an honest rich man at a glance.

But anyone who knows this fat man knows that the most difficult spy agency in the Ming Empire is the famous Daming Dongchang Supervisor both externally and internally. This man's name is Chen Yue, an orphan who grew up with Zhu Changle, he can be said to be the most heartfelt person in the entire Ming Dynasty, and he is also the head of half of the intelligence agencies in the entire Ming Dynasty.

"Pass my thoughts on to the ministers and ask them to draft a document to posthumously confer the rank of Vice Admiral of the Imperial Navy on General Lu Chongwen...... I can't go to the memorial at the wake and let ...... Forget it, Chen Dudu, you can go and worship for me. "Now Chen Yue is considered to be the crown prince Zhu Mu's person, because he is loyal to that seat, and now that seat belongs to Zhu Mu.

Chen Yue smiled, glanced at the slightly thin Wang Jue with those slit-like eyes, nodded thoughtfully, and then opened his mouth with a smile, and said to Zhu Mu: "Your Highness, rest assured, the minister will send someone to inform the ministers that early tomorrow morning, the minister will send a generous gift to Lu Chongwen's house to express your sorrow." ”

After giving the order, Wang Jue did not rest, stood beside Zhu Mu, and continued to introduce: "The secret weapon of the new army is being produced in a hurry, and it is not appropriate to start a war rashly at this time...... However, this peace can only be agreed by the rebels in Liaodong and the Japanese behind it. ”

Wang Jue accompanied Zhu Mu as he spoke, and walked to the Jianji Hall behind the Zhongji Palace, which is the combat headquarters of His Majesty the Emperor, that is, the place where the emperor personally sat in the town and inquired about the battle situation during the foreign war of the entire empire. The two of them walked into this hall one after the other, and then stood on a huge world sand table, once upon a time, almost all the locations on this map were colonies or territories of the Ming Dynasty.

It's a pity that when His Majesty the Emperor of the Apocalypse was in the middle of the uprising, the foundation of the Ming Empire was a backward and poor agricultural country, so no matter how hard the Emperor of the Apocalypse tried, he did not directly upgrade the country to an industrial power. He only invested a lot of research energy in the military industry, but neglected some other areas.

Because of the poor craftsmanship such as steel welding, his army could only use breech guns to fight, so the military suppression did not reach the level that surpassed the natives of later industrial civilizations. What is even more regrettable is that because of the failure of various technologies, the vast Ming Empire was finally divided due to poor communication and transportation, as well as various internal strife.

One of the biggest reasons, the first is that some Chinese people have various ambitions and stand on the side of other countries, such as Ceylon, whose lords and even people are of Chinese descent, but for their own ambitions, they stood on the side of Japan and Britain, supported and assisted the Japanese rebellion, which led to the defeat of the Ming Empire.

And the second point is that because of the immaturity of technology, news from afar cannot be transmitted back to the center of the Ming Empire in time - the Emperor of the Apocalypse did not develop such high-tech products as radio or telephones in the end, and there was no way to make the Ming Empire army, which relied heavily on logistics supplies, invincible in the distant European battlefield.

What he didn't expect was that the rapidly rising Ming Empire swept the world in 20 years, but it also brought various technologies and weapons to all corners of the world. As corruption and other causes proliferated, the Ming Empire's advantage quickly collapsed.

After all, because of the expansion, the Emperor of the Apocalypse did not have the time and energy to study the reform of the system, and there was no way to prevent the feudal officials who had changed several terms after his death from slacking off and degenerating. Thankfully, however, he left behind a lot of things for his homeland, such as a vast territory that could cope with all kinds of enemies.

"Since General Zhang Rude thwarted the Japanese Navy's attempt to cut off our army's sea transportation lines, then at least the Yingkou area is still worth our troops." Wang Jue stood in front of the sand table in Liaodong, pointed to the last trace of contact between the Ming Dynasty and the Liaodong Peninsula and said: "Let the troops of the two divisions board the ship from Tianjin Wei and go to Yingkou immediately...... Reinforcements of the defenders there. ”

"What if we're late?" Zhu Mu looked at the sand table and asked.

"It's not if, it's going to be late. Todeltay is not a fool, at least he will take Panjin and cut off the road between the Liaodong Peninsula and Shanhaiguan. Wang Jue looked at the map and muttered.
