"Sage, this is our itinerary for going north." Yang Po'er, the chief manager of the interior, stood behind Chen Dexing and handed the itinerary in the kraft folder to Chen Dexing, who was eating breakfast, for review. It is now the spring of the sixth year of Da Ming Dao, and Chen Dexing will leave for Beijing in the near future.

Around the dining table sat the Queen Mother Guo Fu'er and Zhao Lin'er wearing filial piety, Zhao Lin'er's father Zhao Yun died of illness two months ago, five years longer than in history, at the age of 65. This lifespan is not short in this year, but Zhao Lin'er is still a little sad. So these days, Chen Dexing accompanies her whenever he is free, and eats with her in the morning and evening. Guo Fu'er also came to accompany Zhao Lin'er, although she is the queen mother, she is not Chen Dexing's mother after all. Chen Dexing still had that kind of meaning for her in his early years, so he didn't respect her very much, at least he didn't worship her as an old lady. The mother and son get along more casually, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are like sisters, and there is no etiquette of kowtowing to each other.

In Chen Dexing's "Chen Li" for Chinese subjects, there is no special emphasis on "filial piety", there is no "parents are here, do not travel far", and there is no stipulation that sons must listen to Lao Tzu, daughters-in-law must listen to their mother-in-law, and there is no "Ding worry" system in which the dead father rests for three years and the dead mother rests for three years, and the dead mother rests for three years (concubines sometimes have to worry about the eldest aunt and the own mother once) - the average life expectancy is only a few years in this year?

Because she wanted to accompany her father, Zhao Liner had not returned to Beijing for many years, and now she heard Yang Po'er talk about the "trip to the north". She frowned her delicate brows unknowingly, and was a little worried about how to get along with Li Cuixian. Although she has been staying in the South all these years. But I also know that Li Cuixian is already a well-known figure in the harem of Daming Palace in Beijing, even if Guo Fu'er gives her three points.

Who made this woman's belly super aggressive? has given birth to four sons and two daughters for Chen Dexing, and all of them are alive, and their health is too good to be true, all of them are monsters who never get sick! Because she is so good at giving birth, even Chen Dexing holds her in the palm of his hand. Her belly can continue to produce little kings for Chen Dexing......

In contrast, Zhao Lin'er has only one daughter and one son after marrying Chen Dexing for so many years, and the son who was used to inherit Zhao Song overseas is still frail and sickly, so it is worrying whether he can grow up. This son was born in the second year of Tiandao, and Zhao Lin'er has always taken him by his side to take care of him personally. This time I have to go thousands of miles north, which is really worrying about whether I will not adapt to the water and soil!

If there is an accident and he can't have a son, will the overseas Great Song Dynasty let Li Cuixian's son inherit it? Zhao Lin'er was a little worried.

Just as Chen Dexing frowned and took the piece of paper, he saw a secretary of the secretariat hurriedly appear at the door. Yang Po'er walked over with some surprise. Chen Dexing generally does not allow others to disturb him when he eats, what is the important thing going on? The secretary whispered a few rounds to Yang Po'er, and Yang Po'er's face actually darkened. She walked quickly to Chen Dexing's side, leaned over and whispered in his ear: "The emergency report from the Atlantic Governor's Mansion is sent by the 'Flying Dragon' of the Beiyang Fleet!" ”

"Flying Dragon......" Chen Dexing's face changed, put down the tableware in his hand, smiled at Guo Fuer and Zhao Lin'er to apologize, and strode out with Yang Po'er.

The Wyvern is no ordinary combat ship. Rather, it is a "fast communication ship", which was launched just last year. It was the first Ming Dynasty to introduce the standard of "displacement" to calculate the size of warships. This "fast communication ship" has a displacement of only 800 tons (the concept of tons was also introduced at the same time, 1 ton is equal to 2,000 catties), the hull is very strong, and it also adopts a flying scissor layout, and the guns carried are only ten 3-inch guns. The biggest role of this ship is not combat, but fast communication. In the New World, Yinshan Port is stationed a "fast communication ship" belonging to the Beiyang Fleet. Theoretically, the news can be brought from Mingzhou to Jiangdu in a month and a half!

However, this ship will not be used lightly, and the communication between Mingzhou and Daming is usually handled by the "New World" class that travels between the two sides of the Pacific Ocean. Now that the "Flying Dragon" fast communication ship has actually returned to Jiangdu, it can only mean that something extraordinary must have happened! Either something big happened to Mingzhou, or something happened to Europa.

When Chen Dexing rushed to the imperial study of Zichen Palace. The Admiralty is tall. Gu Dali, the secretary of the Navy Staff, the Land Rover, the secretary of the Army Staff, and Wang Lufei, the secretary of the Army Staff, had been waiting at the door for a while. They all looked solemn, and it looked like something really was wrong. Seeing Chen Dexing coming in a hurry, they hurriedly knelt down on one knee. Chen Dexing smiled and said, "Don't kneel, come in and say, what's going on?" ”

The Shangshu of the four military departments followed Chen Dexing into his imperial study, while Yang Po'er stayed outside the door, and at the same time instructed the secretary on duty to immediately enter the imperial study to prepare for the record, and asked the chief of the guard guarding the Zichen Hall to immediately send someone to summon more secretaries to the Zichen Palace. The four military departments are all gathered, and something big must have happened! The Secretariat has had a very busy day.

Chen Dexing sat opposite the Shangshu of the Fourth Military Department. His face still looked impassive: "Say, what happened to Mingzhou?" ”

Gu Dali, one of the twenty-two brothers of the Naval Staff Department, stood up and put a cowhide folder on Chen Dexing's desk, and reported at the same time: "Sage, it's not Mingzhou who has an accident, it's Europa who has an accident!" The Europa coalition was defeated by Kublai Khan's Mongol army on the banks of the Vistula River in Poland, losing nearly 100,000 men, all knights, heavy cavalry, light cavalry, Swiss mercenaries and Italian mercenary crossbowmen. King Louis IX of France, King Ottokar II of Bohemia, and Sanghauton, chief of the Teutonic Knights, were all killed! In addition, all 90 cannons were lost. The Holy Roman Emperor Alphonse I led the remnants of his retreat to Bohemia and Austria. Kublai Khan captured Krakow on the fifth day after the Battle of the Vistula River, and then divided his forces to attack all parts of Poland......"

"What about the Mongols? How much did the Mongols lose? Chen Dexing's eyes widened, this battle result was a little unexpected.

"The Mongols suffered minor losses," Lu Fei, the king of the Army Staff, took up the question, "and the report says that the Mongols used a secret weapon called Greek fire (the Europa called 'Roman fire' Greek fire......"

"Bastard! Can Greek fire be considered a secret weapon? Chen Dexing almost jumped up, Greek fire was invented hundreds of years ago, and the Eastern Roman Empire relied on it to defeat the caliph Muawiyah I of the Arab Empire and keep the country. Even the Daming Army and Navy, which possessed H medicine weapons, have been experimenting with various incendiary bombs over the years, some using alcohol and some using petroleum products. If it weren't for the fact that security was always a problem, weapons similar to Greek fire would probably have been equipped with troops.

Land Rover said with a wry smile: "Chen Chongguan's report said that the Europa people adopted a roundabout tactic of outflanking at that time, about 85,000 people lined up on the dry grass sprinkled with Greek fire, and a large grassland ignited by the Greek fire was projected by Kublai Khan's men with a stone machine, which caused great confusion, and then was attacked by the superior Mongol cavalry, and the losses were extremely heavy......"

"Stupider than a pig!" Chen Dexing couldn't help but scold. Eighty thousand troops were laid out in meadows sprinkled with Greek fire...... That thing smells, these people's noses are broken? And how long does the stone machine have range? Those European knights are blind and don't see it?

Land Rover said: "Chen Chongguan's report also said that the Europa knights were vasive, but they couldn't fight, they had no discipline, they didn't have organization, and they weren't an army at all...... Sounds a bit like the samurai army of the Japanese. ”

Chen Chongguan does not seem to be an honest person, he took all his responsibilities in the report to the Daming Army General Staff, and did not mention that he formulated the battle plan of the Europa coalition forces in the Battle of the Vistula River. Still, he was somewhat self-aware and submitted his resignation at the end of the report.

"Sage, Chen Chongguan has resigned, do you think you want to send someone to replace him?" Although Land Rover didn't know the true situation of the Battle of the Vistula River, he also knew that Chen Chongguan would definitely not be able to settle it.

"He can't do it?" Chen Dexing snorted, his brows tightened, and only said after a while, "Cover up!" How about getting Mont up to Europa? Let him be the Governor of the Atlantic and the Governor of Macau, and let Chen Chongguan be the Governor of Hong Kong, and cooperate with Mengqi. Liang Chongru served as ambassador to Rome. ”

"Then who will fight Nanmingzhou?" Wang Lufei asked.

"Zhou Xiaoqi!" Chen Dexing said. For many years, Mingzhou has been the world of Meng Qi and Zhou Xiaoqi. If someone else goes out, I'm afraid I won't be able to command the indigenous army in Mingzhou. Now that Meng Qi has gone to Europa, the only one who can replace him to attack Nanmingzhou is Zhou Xiaoqi.

The Admiralty Shangshu was tall but was stunned, "Sage, Governor Zhou is a vice admiral......"

Chen Dexing waved his hand and said, "It's okay, the topography of Nanmingzhou determines that we can only march along the coast, and we won't go deep into the interior for the time being, Zhou Xiaoqi should be competent." He thought for a moment, and then said: "It is also necessary to set up a Maya Sea Fleet, which is specially used for operations in the Maya Sea and Nanmingzhou, and it is enough to belong to the 'Maya class'." In addition, Beimingzhou also needs to use good generals! Transfer Zhang Jiu to Northeast Mingzhou as the governor. ”

Zhang Jiu is a general that Chen Dexing is very optimistic about, Chen Dexing actually sent him to Beimingzhou There is actually another role, in case Kublai Khan can't be dealt with, then let Zhang Jiu lead his troops across the sea to Europa to help in the war.

Chen Dexing suddenly lowered his tone at this time: "Kublai Khan, this thief, seems to be arrogant in Europa for a while, and if you want to defeat him, I'm afraid you still need to go to the expedition in person!" (To be continued......)
