Even if it was a big wedding, Lu Yan did not stop his steps towards conquering the South Seas.

Lü Yan again sent 20,000 troops to the South Seas, of which 10,000 were sent to Borneo and began to attack Borneo.

Borneo is called Brunei, known as the end of the East and the beginning of the West.

According to the history of the Ming Dynasty, during the Wanli period, the Borneo king was a Min man, and it is said that their ancestors once followed Zheng He's fleet, and later took root here, occupied the place, and became the king here.

Spain also attacked here, but unfortunately the king poisoned dozens of people here and had to turn to attack Luzon.

Faced with the 10,000-strong army of the Ming Dynasty, the Borneo king was almost frightened to madness, and they sent emissaries to beg for mercy, but the army there refused to obey at the behest of Luzon.

So the two sides went to war, and the result, of course, was a one-sided slaughter, which was even easier to fight than to attack Luzon.

Just a month later, Lü Yan's army captured all of Borneo.

After Borneo was captured, the entire South Seas was already in turmoil, and many South Sea island countries sent envoys one after another, hoping that Lu Yan would stop attacking the South Seas.

It's a pity that this time Lu Yan is iron-hearted and vows to level the entire South Seas.

Coming from later generations, of course, he knew that the natives of Nanyang were notoriously weak in combat effectiveness.

However, their anti-Chinese Tuhua is the first in the world, and I don't know how many Chinese died at their hands in later generations.

Even in the 21st century, the Chinese are only second-class citizens in many Nanyang countries, and they are in a disadvantaged position in many aspects such as employment, and even often face blatant insults from Nanyang indigenous political parties. Some political parties have even openly clamored for the killing of all Chinese.

Some Chinese have lived there for generations, but they hold Chinese passports because they are worried about Chinese exclusion.

Once there is an anti-Chinese incident. They'll run away quickly.

There, the Chinese can be said to not have the slightest sense of security.

If Lu Yan softens his heart today and leaves a way back for those natives, then countless Chinese may die in the future.

Lu Yan definitely made this kind of mistake, even if he was infamous, he would completely solve the Nanyang problem.

So next, Lu Yan's army sent a small part of the army to clean up small countries such as Hemaoli and Meiluoju that they had never heard of. On the other hand, he ordered the army to rest and prepare for the attack on Sriwijaya and Jawa.

Time flies. In the blink of an eye, it was the fourth year of the apocalypse.

In this half a year, the entire Jiangnan has flourished under the governance of Lu Yan.

Lu Yan's opening of the sea made the whole Jiangnan have sufficient silver, commerce is more and more developed, and there is a prosperous scene everywhere.

On the southeast coast. As long as you are willing to put in the effort, it will definitely not be a problem to mix food and clothing.

Of course, it's even better if you're a fisherman.

In the past, when the sea was not opened, those fishermen were all so poor that even many people did not want to marry fishermen.

But now that the fishermen have become thoroughly developed, many merchant ships going to the South Seas feel that they are understaffed, so they have to pay high salaries to hire fishermen.

As the merchant shipowners who came back from the South Seas became rich, more and more people were envious, and Luzon and other places have become the places of the Ming Dynasty, and now they are not called going abroad when they go to the South Seas. It's just to other provinces, and it's very convenient to travel.

As a result, more and more people have joined the team of going to Nanyang, hoping to get rich in this great change.

And Lu Yan also keeps cutting taxes. The burden on the population has also been greatly reduced.

With surplus food at home, society is naturally much more stable.

At the same time, the news of the destruction of a small country came from time to time in Nanyang, which made the people in Jiangnan even have a feeling that the prosperity had come.

At this time, news from the north also came, and compared with the north where there were many disasters and famines, Jiangnan was like a paradise.

So with the help of some people. A piece of news spread like a plague.

This is a reincarnation of two hundred years, and the Ming Dynasty has come to an end.

Heaven decided to let Lu Yan take his place. That's why there will be a famine in the north.

Things are afraid of comparison, compared with the Ming Dynasty, who reused the eunuchs, wantonly sent tax collectors out and lost consecutive battles, Lu Yan was much wiser and more powerful in any case.

As a result, more and more people believe in this statement.

Of course, Lu Yan laughed at this, he knew that this was all done by his subordinates, but he didn't stop it, after all, it was also good for him.

At this time, he was looking at a piece of rice paper in front of him and was a little stunned, this rice paper was written with the changes in the Ming Court in the past year.

These changes made him very uneasy, and he became more and more convinced that something unknown must have happened in the north, and history was deviated from its original course.

It seems that the plan can never compare to the change, and he has to change his plan, Lu Yan let out a long sigh.

Just then, there was a noise outside the door.

Zhu Huiyan's voice came from outside, and it seemed that the guards were preventing her from entering.

So Lu Yan said, "Let the princess come in." ”

After receiving Lu Yan's order, those guards finally let Zhu Huiyan walk in.

"Lord Wang, I heard that you have no appetite recently, so I asked someone to make you a bowl of lotus seed soup and bring it to you, so you can drink it while it's hot."

Perhaps it is the happy life after marriage, Zhu Huiyan has become more bright and bright.

Mixed with her youthful appearance and noble temperament, she has a unique temperament.

Lu Yan glanced at the waiter holding the lotus seed soup, and the waiter nodded to him.

So Lu Yan smiled: "Just put it down, I'll drink it in a while." ”

All his food was prepared by special attendants, and the drug testing procedures in it were no worse than those of the emperor.

And no one can touch his food except these people, including Zhu Huiyan.

At first, Zhu Huiyan still had some complaints, but soon she didn't say anything, because she had seen a lot of this in the palace.

Soon the waiter put the lotus seed soup on the table. Then he retreated.

Zhu Huiyan looked around and found the rice paper on the table, so she picked it up curiously.

"What is this?"

Zhu Huiqi asked.

"This is the government affairs that the Holy God has dealt with recently."

Lu Yan said.

"Addicted to firearms. Swept the Donglin Party out of the imperial court, reused the eunuch party, attacked the Zhejiang party and the Chu party, sent tax collectors to the rich places to collect commercial taxes and mining taxes, and forcibly promoted Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng, Chen Qiyu, Sun Chuanting, and Yang Sichang despite the opposition of the courtiers. Cao Huachun was appointed as the governor of Dongchang, and Wang Chengen was appointed as the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch. It is proposed to continue to implement Zhang Juzheng's reforms. After attracting fierce opposition from the courtiers, it had to be defeated. ”

Listening to Zhu Huiyan's words, the corners of Lu Yan's mouth couldn't help but show a sneer.

"What are you...... Are you going to deal with the Holy One? ”

Zhu Huiyan hesitated and asked.

looked at Zhu Huiyan's struggling expression. Lu Yan said without blinking: "How can it be, he is my eldest brother." ”

Zhu Huiyan's face showed a strange look of believing you.

Lu Yan smiled bitterly and shook her head, having lived with Zhu Huiyan for so long, she knew herself better and better.

A trace of sadness appeared on Zhu Huiyan's face.

"You are all my most important relatives. I don't want you to see each other. In case there's a break between you, what should I do? ”

For this sentence, Lu Yan was really difficult to answer, so he could only keep silent.

"Brother Huang, why is he getting more and more mediocre, and he actually reused the eunuch party and drove those Confucians of the Donglin Party out of the court."

Zhu Huiyan said with some complaints.

Hearing this, Lu Yan couldn't help but shake his head, and then said, "This is not necessarily, I think my eldest brother is doing the right thing." At least among the previous emperors of our dynasty, it can be ranked at least in the top three. ”

Zhu Huiyan looked at Lu Yan carefully, and after finding that he didn't look like he was lying, she said with a puzzled expression: "How is this possible?" Although I rarely go out, I've heard people talk about it. The current court is the dynasty of beasts. The emperor's brother and he gave up the Donglin Party, these righteous men and gentlemen don't use it, and they use those eunuchs, this is not mediocrity. ”

Lu Yan shook his head, he didn't want to get entangled too much with Zhu Huiyan on this issue, some things would not be able to be explained clearly for a while.

Seeing Lu Yan's appearance, Zhu Huiyan couldn't help but feel annoyed, this prince is really annoying.

So she gently put her lips to Lu Yan's ear. said to Lu Yan: "Lord, can you just talk about it?" If you say to my satisfaction, we can do that tonight. ”

After speaking, he bit his ear at Lu Yan and got up.

After listening to her words, Lu Yan couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart.

In the past, he proposed to Zhu Huiyan to pose a few times, but unfortunately this little girl was too shy and didn't follow anyway, but she didn't expect her to agree today.

So he coughed heavily, and then put on a decent gentleman's appearance.

"Since you have agreed, concubine, let this king solve your doubts."

Zhu Huiyan couldn't help but glance at him, the prince is really getting more and more able to pretend.

"Now there are four great problems in the imperial court, which are financial difficulties, party strife, and the abolition of armaments.* The Donglin Party is a very domineering party, they like to exclude dissidents, and any other party will be ostracized by them. It was they who opened the precedent of our Ming Party struggle, so it can be said that they are guilty of great crimes. ”

And they advocated not to tax the merchants and mine owners, which further increased the imperial court's struggling to make ends meet. If the imperial court has no silver, there will be no money to pay the army silver, and if the army has no silver, it will naturally be discarded and then defeated repeatedly. ”

And if these merchants and mine owners were not taxed, then only the peasants could be taxed to make up for the deficit of the imperial court. Now that there are many disasters and famines in the north, coupled with such a thing as Liaoyu, if the tax is increased again, it will only force the officials to rebel against the people. Therefore, if the imperial court wants to make great efforts, it is necessary to sweep the Donglin Party out of the imperial court. ”

Listening to Lu Yan's words, Zhu Huiyan couldn't help but be stunned, how could things be like this.

She heard that both the scholars and the common people thought that the Donglin Party was a real righteous man and a gentleman, how could it be as heinous in Lu Yan's mouth.

"The only good thing about the Donglin Party is that it is incorruptible, but their words in the court can only lead to other officials being even more*. Because the imperial court has no silver, how can it give money to officials, and if there is no money, then how can officials live, and what way out do they have except corruption. ”

Lu Yan sneered.

Of course, many things cannot be blamed on the Donglin Party, such as corruption has always existed, and the abolition of armaments is not a day or two, but some of the Donglin Party's practices are very inappropriate.

"But the Holy God can let them deal with corrupt officials, as long as they severely punish corrupt officials, then naturally the court will be clear and the world will be under great rule."

Zhu Huiyan finally came up with a reason to refute.

"Hahaha! Hahahaha! ”

Hearing her words, Lu Yan couldn't help laughing, this was really a standard Confucian answer.

Seeing this, Zhu Huiyan couldn't help but get annoyed.

"Isn't there anything funny I'm talking about?"

Lu Yan decided not to dwell on this issue with Zhu Huiyan, as long as his goal was achieved.

In order to change the topic, he said to Zhu Huiyan: "I decided to go to Liaodong in person this year. (To be continued)
