Shen Mengxi didn't know how to build ships, make weapons and mix gunpowder, but the ingenuity of the craftsmen could not be underestimated, she just made a suggestion, made an idea, and gave a direction, and it didn't take long for them to make them, often better than she expected, and even made a burst of fire, which surprised Shen Mengxi.

She went to Liaoning to inspect the fleet in person, and was amazed by the huge and incomparable ships, and then the automatic raising of the gun barrels on the ships, and the interlocking power system of the ships.

Liaoning's naval fleet was unparalleled in the world.

There are more than 200 ships of various functions, and the largest main ship is more than 40 zhang long and 18 zhang wide. Nine masts and twelve sails, canopy sails and anchor rudders, plus gear assistance, still need 100 people to lift.

The ships were equipped with guns, and the soldiers were equipped with firearms. All of them stand on the deck in a heroic posture. Shen Mengxi looked at his son, who was dressed as a commander, and was sincerely relieved and proud.

On the day of the expedition, she personally beat the drums to cheer for them, and the ship traveled far away, and there were waves of voices on the sea calling for long live and victory.

When Shen Mengxi was fifty-five years old, Xue Chongjian really fulfilled her greatest wish.

——Xue Chongjian, the king of Ning, spent a year and a half to include Goryeo and Dongying in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

The occupation of Goryeo was very smooth, and it surrendered and surrendered in three months, which was more troublesome for Dongying, first, they had to cross far away, and second, the Dongying people resisted fiercely, they were short in stature, but they were ruthless and firm-minded. Xue Chongjian's initial strategy of deterrence and submission was forced to give up, and in the end, it was a simple and rude subduation. Instead, they were respectful and bowed their heads.

The hardships of the conquest process are difficult to tell.

On the day when Xue Chongjian returned to the court in victory, he knelt on one knee in armor, and shouted to Shen Mengxi above the court with his fists: "The minister has fulfilled his mission and fulfilled his wish for His Majesty!" ”

Shen Mengxi looked at his son's thin cheeks, his eyes were wet, he forgot his identity, and said with a little choked up: "Good boy, you have worked hard!" Xue Chongjian also cried when he heard this, and knelt down on his other knee, kowtowing three times, "A-Niang!" Unfilial piety is back! ”

For a time, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were also embarrassed and emotional.

Over the years, there have also been courtiers who have played tables from time to time, and they have bitterly prevented Shen Mengxi from sending troops to Dongying, thinking that her move is reckless and too heavy. But Shen Mengxi never adopted it, and still poured the power of the country into sending troops to Dongying, and even missed the opportunity of a Tang Dynasty infighting due to insufficient military and financial resources. Cui Jin beat her chest for this, and scolded women behind her back for being short-sighted, and asking for a few broken islands to have a fart!

In a year and a half, countless money was consumed, and tens of thousands of soldiers were killed and wounded. But Shen Mengxi has no regrets, only by taking this opportunity to destroy Dongying can she have no regrets.

This time, Xue Chongjian directly left 10,000 soldiers stationed there, and brought back several boatloads of gold and silver property.

Shen Mengxi rewarded the soldiers of the Ning army, changed Goryeo to Liaoyuan, included it in the fief of King Ning, changed Dongying to Haining, stationed officials and soldiers to the four islands, and successively moved 100,000 people to the islands of Haining.

In the past few years, Li Longji's rule has gradually been on the right track, and he can't help but strengthen the guard of the border with the Ming Dynasty, and also expand the border to the west, and he coincidentally chose the same as Shen Mengxi
