If the country is rich, the army is strong, and if the army is strong, the country is brave.

In this land of the Ming Dynasty, it has become a habit to change dynasties almost every two hundred and three years, and we can see from the course of history that the demise of each dynasty is almost inseparable from natural disasters and **.

What is a natural disaster, such as locusts, drought, floods, etc., are all natural disasters, ** is the decline of a dynasty caused by foreign invasion or internal division.

The situation of the Ming Dynasty is to be solved, and almost any person in this period can turn the tide, just like Chongzhen, he is recognized as one of the most diligent and thrifty emperors since the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, almost comparable to the diligence and thrift of the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.

But it is such an emperor who worked harder than his predecessors, but in the end Daming died in his hands, the reason for this is why, in addition to the internal Donglin party becoming bigger, it also has a big problem with his character.

Chongzhen is a stubborn and stubborn person, so the final outcome will be the crooked neck tree that hangs the coal mountain. If his diligence was more tolerant, instead of directly defeating the eunuchs, maybe the Ming Dynasty's demise would not be so fast.

It is said that the eunuch party misled the country and was a villain, and Donglin was a gentleman, but when Li Zicheng entered Beijing and the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered Beijing, almost all of the fastest surrenderers were Donglin party members, and the ministers who were once regarded as the remnants of the eunuch party were even more dignified, and the knife was on the neck and did not bow their heads to seek glory.

As the activities of Australians in the Liangguang region become more and more frequent, it will definitely not work to get the support of Wang Xiang, the commander of Xin'an County, after all, his official influence is too small and only a corner of Xin'an County, and if he wants to have enough influence in the entire Liangguang region, he must gain greater official support.

The Governor of Liangguang is undoubtedly the best choice, and the Governor of Liangguang this year is Shen Youlong.

Shen Youlong, the word Yunsheng, Songjiang Huating people. Wanli forty-four years of Jinshi. In addition to Yin County, the county. At the beginning of the Apocalypse, he was awarded the imperial history and became the deputy envoy of Henan. In the first year of Chongzhen, he recalled the old officials, entered the Taifu Shaoqing, worshiped the imperial history of the right servant, and patrolled Fujian. Jiangxi demon thief Zhang Puwei and others made a rebellion, and Yulong sent guerrilla Huang Binqing to assist in suppressing it, and it was broken. Increase the rank and give gold, and return with sorrow. Served as a servant, the right attendant of the military department and the right of the imperial history, the governor of the military affairs of Liangguang, and the governor of Guangdong.

It can be seen from his life resume that this is definitely a talent with real talent and learning, and he is also an anti-Qing righteous man.

Lao Shen was born as a jinshi, and he started from the lowest level of the county to achieve today's right squire of the military department and the right to the imperial history, the governor of Liangguang military affairs, and the governor of Guangdong.

It is impossible for such a person not to pay attention to the business activities of Australians in Liangguang, and at the same time to be shocked by the changes brought about by the business environment and manual workshops in Liangguang.

Although it has always been the prefect of Guangzhou and the county below that have been in contact with the Australian government, with more and more Australian goods appearing in life, it is almost impossible for Shen Yulong to ignore the existence of Australians.

In order to understand Australians, he collected a lot of information about Australia, which was basically obtained from people who had close contact with Australian merchants.

All the oral accounts can know that the Australians are located in the south of the South Seas, which is the south of the land where Zheng He went to the West, and it is said that it is necessary to walk thousands of miles by sea to reach Australia from the land of the West, where there is a land area equivalent to the land of the Ming Dynasty, and the population is sparse.

Although Australia is after the former Song Yashan, but it is said that there is no monarch in the country today, the emperor of the dynasty is elected by the people, and the head of the cabinet is recommended by the newly elected emperor, that is, the president is like the Congress, which is somewhat like the cabinet, but their number is more than the number of cabinets, unlike the ministers of the Ming Cabinet are generally almost all people who are full of poetry and books, and their cabinet ministers can be people of any birth and occupation.

It is said that a businessman can also become a cabinet minister and a president, that is, an emperor, which is simply unimaginable, and what the consequences of a businessman will be when he governs the country.

This is what makes Lao Shen feel the most dissatisfied, he thinks this is an insult to the reader, it is ridiculous to let a businessman lead the scholar to govern the world, of course, this is what he thought at the beginning, and later he heard that there was an old man who was born in the history of Australia and did not know a single word and was finally elected president, and he was even more surprised.

As he learned more and more about Australia, he gradually discovered that it was this country that valued commerce, and the emperor could be born to anyone, but it was actually very powerful, and they shipped goods made in their country to the Ming Dynasty for sale, which once crushed many local manual workers.

In addition to being in an absolute advantage in commercial competition, their military strength is also strong enough, whether it is the news from the Hongmaoyi people or the Taixi people, it can prove that the Australian sailors and army are very strong, so strong that they can't resist at all.

It is said that the two sides had a short naval battle, and the Australians only dispatched a warship to block the Zheng family's fleet in the harbor, and there was no way to fight back.

Heyang is a powerful country, and it is inherited from the former Song Dynasty, and it appeared during this period, Shen Youlong even wondered if the appearance of Australians was really that simple, just to be able to return to his hometown every year to trade, didn't he have any other ideas.

The current situation in the Ming Dynasty can be said to be a mess, with peasant uprisings inside, and Houjin constantly attacking cities and plundering land, and the Australians have never thought of intervening in the strong horses, which is really unbelievable.

As the governor of Liangguang, the main responsibility in addition to supervising the officials of Liangguang is also responsible for the military affairs of Liangguang, if the Australians really have any idea of the homeland of the Ming Dynasty, the first to land is estimated to be in Liangguang, the reason does not need to be said to be clear, the Australians have been stationed on Xiangdao in Xin'an County, although the number is not large, but in fact it has become a bridgehead.

The more Lao Shen thought about it, the more panicked he felt in his heart, if the Australian soldiers were really as powerful as rumored, then the army of Liangguang might not be able to fight with one, as the governor of Liangguang Military Affairs, he knew in his heart how many soldiers could fight in Liangguang.

In order to cope with the sudden change, Shen Youlong strengthened the training tasks of the government soldiers in various places, frequently inspected the military affairs of various garrisons, and urged the guerrilla generals from all walks of life not to relax the drills of military households.

All these changes are actually in the eyes of the Australian Department of Homeland Security, and they have not escaped the eyes of any secret service officers at all. (To be continued.) )
