With the war in the northeast over for the time being, and the Khalkha Mongols making slow progress, Wuchang should have been a peaceful scene this summer. However, the news that the Tianzhu Town Guard Mansion used the 36 Western Families to conquer Colombo and Galle and establish a stronghold in Matala immediately led to a major riot.
The Supervisory Yuan immediately impeached the Ministry of War, the Governor's Yamen, the Western Naval Division, the Lingyamen Metropolitan Protectorate and the Tianzhu Town Guard Mansion for provoking border provocations without edicts, and even encroaching on the imperial power, privately allowing the status of the merchant Jia to be a vassal and committing the crime of great rebellion. The Ministry of War and the Governor's Yamen hurriedly argued that they did not know what was going on, and that the local officials were doing their own thing, and for this reason they requested that the two divisions send members to jointly investigate the cause of the matter.
What added to the confusion was that after receiving the bad news from the DPRK, Gong Tian, the former admiral of the Zhenxi Navy Division and the current admiral of the Zhendong Navy Division, was at a loss, and arrived in Taicang by boat from the Daqushan Town Shoufu overnight, and then changed into prison clothes and took the Yangtze River Navy Clipper to enter the court to plead guilty. His people have not yet arrived in Wuchang, and they admit that their subordinates are not strict, and the guilty plea that bears the favor of the monarch has already arrived first, which further aggravates the shock of the government and the opposition.
Zheng Kezhang did not express his position at the first time regarding the disturbances from the outside world, but only approved the investigation application submitted by the Ministry of War and the Governor's Yamen, and instructed the Supervision Yuan to find out what happened with him. However, the investigation committee members of the three yamen had only arrived at Lingyamen, and they urgently reported that the Dutch warships in Batavia and other places were frequently transferred, and there might be signs of war with China.
In order to suppress the impatience of the Dutch, the Huaxia Military Department immediately dispatched the ships of the inner line naval divisions such as Zhenbei, Zhendong, Zhennan, and Zhenxi to give priority to filling the gap of the two newly formed naval divisions in Dongtianzhu and Suluhai.
The fighting in the East Tianzhu Islands did not start, but the tense atmosphere in the waters around Xilan continued. The Dutch United East India Company mobilized more than 30 warships and armed merchant ships from Chinsula, Plicut, Sadras, and Batavia on the west coast of Tianzhu to blockade the treaty port of Tianzhu in Matala, and the Dutch in Jaffna also requisitioned more than 2,000 troops to approach Matala along the 6th route, which had the posture of trapping Huaxia in Xilan and forcing it away.
In addition, the Dutch also united with their old enemies, the Portuguese, to deter the Tianzhu town by force. In the face of the large warships of the Dutch and Portuguese, the Tianzhu Town Guard, which had only two third-class letter ships and two slow-armed junk ships, came to the rescue of Mattala at all, and it was even difficult to break through the Dutch blockade of the Town.
"A few adults." In the Dongtianzhu Water Division Office in Lingyamen, Chang Tianyuan, who was the founder of the country, the Jiayi Doctor (Zheng Sanpin), the prince of the inspection school (Xun Wu), and the first-class lieutenant (Zheng Sanpin), raised his position from Chang Tianyuan, who was the commander of the East Tianzhu Water Division and the chief soldier of the 6 soldiers and horses of Zhanghai Waterproof, to several investigators with strict expressions. "No matter how bold Niu Mingli is, since I occupy Namatara, the other side is the territory of my court, so naturally I can't allow Xiyi to snoop around."
Huo Ying, a member of the investigation committee of the Ministry of War and a member of the headquarters, asked, "What does the Admiral mean?" ”
Chang Tianyuan said succinctly: "Master Huang Boming, the Governor of the Water Division, led a detachment to patrol to Tianzhu Town Shoufu and Matala, and by the way, Niu Mingli was arrested and came to be tried. ”
Huo Ying and Yao Jie, the investigator of the Governor's Yamen, looked at Wan Fengyun, the special envoy of the Supervision Yuan with slightly narrowed eyes, and nodded in agreement: "Yes, I just don't know what Lord Wan means." ”
Hearing Huo and Yao mention their names, Wan Fengyun, who seemed to be pretending to be asleep, slowly opened his eyes: "It's okay to arrest Niu Mingli, but it's not on trial, I'm not from the Dali Yuan, I'm afraid that I don't have the right to interrogate the Wupin officials, I just ask this Lord Niu to come back and honestly explain who instructed me." ”
Since the three superiors all nodded, Chang Tianyuan was about to give an order, when suddenly a military attache hurriedly walked in: "Lord Admiral, my lords, just now the dock summoned the news, and the messenger of the decree has arrived." ”
Governors? The four of them looked at each other, could it be that the imperial court had already made a conclusion on the matter of Xilan? Impossible? There is no ugly man here, how can the court make a decision? If it weren't for the matter of Xilan, then what new instructions would the imperial court have? The four of them, who didn't know why and didn't dare to slack off, hurried to the dock to meet the new herald.
On the order of Tianjing, the emperor said: "After welcoming the pedestrians back to the governor's office, place the incense burner and pay tribute, and listen to the Zhengbapin pedestrians with the surname reciting the edict." "Nineteen people below Yunchun are surveying, expanding overseas, building the Quartet, after the success, they are not kings or hegemons, their hearts are towards the court, and they are bent on attaching themselves, which is also a great good. This dynasty is the most fair in its administration, meritorious service should be rewarded, and if there is a mistake, punishment will be given, and there is no reason to abandon the people overseas. According to this, Naifeng Fang Yunchun is the hereditary prefect of Dava, Naifeng Sun Chang is the hereditary prefect of Danlao, and Naifeng Gaobao is the hereditary prefect of Moji, and Naifeng ?????? As soon as the feudal domains are sealed, they should be protected by the town guard of southern Burma, and they should not act unscrupulously in the future, and if they violate the law of the country, they will be punished. Chin this! ”
Although this edict was not given to the Western sailors, but now that the Lingyamen Protectorate has been paralyzed, the affairs of the first qiē are handled by the Eastern Tianzhu Sailors, so it is not impossible for Chang Tianyuan to receive the edict, so Chang Tianyuan immediately led everyone to respectfully knock on the edict.
After handing over the holy decree in duplicate to his subordinates for archiving and preservation, Chang Tianyuan smiled at the sesame mung bean official and said: "Lord Lian, my lord is really lucky, I just happened to meet the sailor detachment to go to Tianzhu Town to patrol the palace, if you miss this shift, your lord will have to take a clipper, far less stable than a cruiser." ”
Hearing that there was no need to sit on a dying letter ship, even the adult's face immediately burst into laughter: "So the best, so the best." ”
Yao Jie leaned over at this time and asked: "Even my lord, this official Yao Jie was ordered to investigate the great rebellion case of the Lingyamen Duhufu, and asked my lord, the saint has made a conclusion on the great rebellion case." ”
Several other people also paid attention to their gazes, and when they saw those five-grade officials looking at themselves, the little pedestrian suddenly felt better: "So that a few adults know that the imperial court has not yet reached a conclusion on this, but the saint said that although the Fang family and others are only expanding the land of southern Burma for their own selfishness, but the name is established, this is the territory of China, if there are thousands of thirty-six Western companies to open up overseas, then the territory of China will inevitably spread all over the world, which cannot be done in a short period of time with the power of the imperial court alone, why not push the boat down the river, Happy to see it happen? But there are some gains, and in the end, they have to be imported into the country. ”
Wan Feng Yunpin smashed for a while, wrinkled his brows and asked, "Is it not over the matter of privately permitting the feudal domain?" ”
"Of course not." The pedestrian surnamed Lian shook his head. "Grace comes from above, how can the king's power be snooped on by mere five-grade officials, but whether Niu Mingli promised or just promised to report for the thirty-six Western families, I'm afraid you have to find out before you can make a conclusion, as for the so-called provocation." Even the adults sold a pass, and waited until everyone was a little undecided before he continued. "Holy Dao, overseas countries are barbarians, barbarians have always been afraid of power but not virtue, as long as the fist is big, naturally they do whatever they want, Xilan was not originally the territory of the Dutch, but also the Dutch snatched it from the Francophone, and before that, the Francophile also seized the power from the local natives, since the precedent is first, it is too much to be timid."
"The Holy One means that Niu Mingli is innocent?" Huo Yingru is mourned for examination and approval, if you really want to follow what Zheng Kezhang said, then how should the military department restrain her subordinates. "This, this is inevitably suspected of conniving at the feudal town."
Chang Tianyuan's face changed suddenly, and he immediately stopped: "Lord Huo, what you said is suspected of slandering the Holy Driver, please be cautious." ”
"Some people also said so to the saint, the saint said that the emperor is far away, and he can't manage it if he wants to, as long as there is no problem at all, the branches will not be taken care of." Lord Lian added. "Of course, the saint also said that although Niu Mingli and others are opening up territory for the country, they still have to be investigated and dealt with with because they have the intention of inviting pets and blessings."
Everyone was a little incomprehensible, what did Zheng Kezhang mean by saying east and west? Only Chang Tianyuan's eyes lit up, and it was obvious that he understood-Zheng Kezhang was clearly hinting that as long as he was not caught by the Supervision Yuan, it was not a bad thing to be aggressive, of course, the so-called aggressiveness also depends on the locality, and it is feasible overseas, if it is inside.6 If anyone violates the grand strategy of the imperial court and lightly provokes a war that should not be born, then severe punishment is inevitable.
The officials were still pondering, and even the pedestrians asked Yao Jie, "Lord Yao is the highest official of the Governor's Yamen in Lingyamen?" ”
Yao Jie responded embarrassedly: "Now the affairs of the Lingya Gate Protectorate are all led by Master Chang. ”
Lian Xingren greeted Yao Jie embarrassedly, turned his head and said to Chang Tianyuan: "Lord Chang, Lord Xu Qingxu told the official to tell Lingyamen that the imperial court intends to negotiate with the Francophile, and please handle this matter." ”
Negotiating with the Portuguese? The second monk looked at the pedestrian in confusion.
He listened to Lian Xing's words: "The imperial court has contacted the Swedes to join forces to deal with Oros. ”
In fact, the Huaxia court only promised to give the Swedes the most preferential treatment, so that they could get more benefits, so that the country would have sufficient financial resources to continue to fight with Russia in the northern ice field, but in terms of Sweden's annual cargo volume, the increased income was actually very limited. Moreover, the most preferential treatment given by the Chinese court to the Swedish side was conditional, that is, it hoped to tempt the Swedish side to hand over the westbound route or accompany the Chinese ships to Europe for direct trade.
"The Swedes are contacted to deal with the Oros, and the Franciscans are naturally to be contacted to deal with the Hongyi." Even pedestrians teased. "The bottom line of the imperial court is that as long as the Francophile agrees to hand over the secret of the westward route, the imperial court agrees to restore its qualification to trade in Penghu, and there is no longer a limit on the number of ships that can enter the Mun trade, and Ah Zhen and his country's territory in Tianzhu can also be retained."
"But the Franc robot is joining forces with Hongyi." Halfway through speaking, Yao Jie suddenly realized. "Also, Xiyi has always been greedy for money, so as to tempt, or it can be tempted to turn against Hongyi, and the imperial court can also make a long-distance friendship and close attack strategy??????"
