Wang Jue rode a war horse through the Jingshi City Gate, which had been taken over by the forward troops of the New Army, and the two sides of the city gate were already wide streets and beautiful houses, at least the birth of artillery and muskets, so that the city wall has become a historical relic, not a major fortification.

Roadblocks have been set up on the road leading to the city gate, and because of the war, the inventory is very strict. On both sides of the sentry post, two ordinary cars were parked, and on the side of the car, Fan Ming, who had just been transferred to this unit, stood there straight with a rifle on his back, looking up at the commander who rode into Beijing.

After all, the new army was established not long ago, and after all, this army was a test field for Wang Jue's high hopes, so the limited resources were armed to these future hopes. This is also the reason why Wang Jue himself still rides horses, and the new army is already equipped with a lot of cars.

The new gadget of the car has been in service in foreign armies for a long time, and there are also experimental equipment in the army of the Ming Empire, so it is not too eye-catching, but these new troops who stand straight with rifles on their backs give people a new feeling in appearance, attracting the attention of many civilians in Beijing.

"Stand upright!" Seeing Wang Jue riding his horse closer, the new army officer who recognized Wang Jue was standing on the side of the road, standing upright and pressing his fist-clenched hand on his chest. As he shouted, all the soldiers stood upright, and the sound of the heels of their boots clattering into one piece.

"The big husband should be like this!" A teenager in a university uniform pointed to the mighty new army on the side of the road and sighed to the people around him.

Beside him, several students standing were still holding large flags in their hands, on which the four big characters of "Fu My Ji Liao" were written on red fuel. These students came to the old city on a voluntary basis, and the new law of the Ming Dynasty stipulated that the procession and petition could not enter the old city, and could only march in the new city outside the city walls according to the route reported in advance. Moreover, it must not affect traffic, use the national flag and national emblem, and use violence to disrupt order.

Hearing of the defeat of Jiliao, these enthusiastic students stood up and demanded that the whole country be mobilized to go on the Northern Expedition, and people from more than a dozen universities in the Gyeonggi area came out to raise their flags and shout for the start of the war.

Wang Jue didn't stay long, and after checking the status of the sentry at this city gate, he left with people. He had just arrived in Jingshi, and he had to personally inspect several city gates, which were indeed controlled by his new army, before he could be regarded as fulfilling his duty. After all, his friend Zhu Mu trusts him so much, and he also has to make sure that nothing goes wrong and will not disappoint his friends.

The new urban area of Jingshi has become more and more huge in recent years, and in the rhythm of these continuous expansions, housing prices are rushing all the way, leaving the world's wealthy people in the dust. Owning a private house in Daming Jingshi is a symbol of identity and status.

Of course, as land prices continue to soar, over the years, one after another world powers that have established diplomatic relations with the Ming Dynasty have also set up their own embassies in Beijing, the political center of the world. Unfortunately, they arrived so late that no country could set up its own embassy in the Old Town.

At this moment, in the new district, the core building of a magnificent consulate is on the top floor.

"The Japanese attacked the fleet of the Daming Naval Division?" A middle-aged man with blond hair and blue eyes sitting behind his desk stared at his secretary in surprise and asked in an incredulous tone, "Where did they get the courage?" ”

"There is news that the Japanese supported the Jin rebellion in the north of the Ming Dynasty, and this war was provoked by the Japanese." The secretary put some of the materials in his hand in front of the man's desk, and then said: "The latest news, the Ming troops in Liaodong were attacked and suffered heavy losses, and it seems that even the important town of Fengtian has been lost. ”

"My God, although it is in our interest for the Jin Kingdom to become bigger, if the Ming Empire gives up its interests in the Strait of Malacca and Southeast Asia and the State of Ceylon...... Then the arrogance of the British is even more arrogant. The middle-aged man sighed with some uneasiness: "This is not in our German interests, but it is not something we can do." ”

As he spoke, he took the papers and looked through them, and then asked his secretary, "These documents should be sent back to Berlin as quickly as possible...... Please tell me about His Majesty the Emperor and the Prime Minister...... Which side should we be on in this distant war. ”

This middle-aged man is Mr. Hannason, the former Prussia and the current ambassador of the German Empire to the Ming Empire. He speaks Chinese very fluently, or now some people in countries around the world use Chinese to communicate. If the Ming Empire fell apart in terms of tangible assets and lost a large amount of territory, the other influences left by this empire in the world were not so easily stripped away.

For example, the world economic system, the currency that everyone holds in their hands; Another example is Chinese, as the official language and a symbol of high society, many people in Europe are learning and using Chinese...... The most intuitive is the Japanese region, where they have even wiped out most of their previous writing and speaking habits.

"Mr. Hannason...... Part of the information on this matter we got from the embassy in Muscovy, who maintained friendship with the Japanese, or rather, they had a keen interest in carving up the Mongol region in the northern part of the Ming Dynasty. The secretary pointed to the document in front of his desk and said, "Since the great powers are united in weakening the interests of the East, shall we ...... this material Send one to the French? ”

Ambassador Hannadson nodded, then shook his head again: "Forget it, at least we are not all the way to the French...... Remind them that it's better to do less. Go and send this information back to Berlin. This matter cannot be delayed, at least we may get the part of the benefits that belong to Germany after the war. ”

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Suddenly, in the direction of the old town outside the window, one after another, Hannathan suddenly looked in the direction where the bell came from, and then asked in shock: "This is not the bell of the ceremony...... What the hell is going on? ”

"These damn Japanese idiots! It seems that the sky in the Far East is about to change. In the British consulate, John, an old ambassador who had experienced a change of imperial power in the Ming Empire, sighed and said.
