Chapter 340: Du Transforms the Kingdom! The Return of the King!

"Du Lang, that foreign woman who came with you is very beautiful?" said Blood Guanyin.

"yes. Du Bian said: "Do you want me to introduce you to you? She likes women." ”

Blood Guanyin's face turned red, and he sneered: "No wonder." ”

Then she lay in Du Bian's arms and quietly listened to him tell the story of the past six months. But he didn't say anything about the rift in the world or the succubus, focusing on the interesting things that happened in the Viking Kingdom, as well as the things about sailing on the sea.

"Our Jiaolong is the most advanced warship in the world?" said Blood Guanyin.

"At least for now, it seems like this. ”

Then Du Chang said: "Now that the navy division of the Nguyen clan in South Vietnam has been completely wiped out, the fleet of the Eastern United Kingdom will not enter our sea area for the time being. You have to seize this precious time, take your sailors to board the Jiaolong battleship, and carefully learn from Lord Rena to ensure that you master this battleship in the shortest possible time. ”

Blood Guanyin's beautiful eyes widened and said, "This battleship, give it to me later?"

This woman is really, obviously she served as the captain of this battleship, and obviously served Du Chang, but in her mouth, it turned out that this battleship was a gift to her.

Definitely carried away by love.

"Yes, here you go. Du changed his way.

Suddenly, the fragrant kiss of Blood Guanyin is the same as not asking for money.

She's so excited!

Now her lover is not only back, but also has become so full of masculine charm and so robust, it is simply a man's devil version of the body.

Now she can finally be a birdie with peace of mind.

And the point is that Du Bian seems to have matured a lot, and it will not be the same as before, others can see at a glance that she is several years older than Du Bian.

"What is the situation of the war in the Kingdom of Annam?" Du Yan asked.

Blood Guanyin said: "After you disappeared, the rebel king of the Nguyen clan quickly organized a huge counterattack, with more than 350,000 troops attacking Hue Province. Not only his own army, but also a mysterious mercenary army. At that time, Hue Province was crumbling, and the entire sea area was completely blocked by the fleet of the Eastern United Kingdom, and the army of King Le Chang and Duke Song Que lacked everything, which was really the most dangerous moment. ”

When Du Bian went to the capital, he did get some information, and at the same time as Li Ruhai attacked Du Bian, the Ruan rebel king would also launch a counterattack, wanting to wipe out the forces of Du Bian, King Le Chang, and Duke Song Que in one fell swoop.

However, he didn't expect Du Bian to win the battle first.

Blood Guanyin said: "After more than ten days of fierce fighting, the enemy's army is fighting more and more, and our supplies are becoming more and more scarce. At the critical moment, General Ji Shi led an army of 50,000 to help, and also brought 20 artillery pieces, and then the material resources from the southwest continued to be transported into Hue Province. ”

At that time, King Lichang did not send a letter of help to the southwest, because he knew that Du Bian was not there, and he was worried that no one could call the shots and send troops to support the Kingdom of Annam. Once he wrote a letter asking for help, no one responded to Du Bian's Zhenxi Marquis' Mansion, which instead ruined the friendship between the two sides.

However, Li Wenyu hesitated for two days, and then invited Li Zhan, Fu Hongbing, Ji Shi and others to discuss and decide, and finally decided to send troops.

As a result, the young city lord of Ji Shi led the Third Army to aid Hue Province.

At that time, the king of Lichang was so grateful that he burst into tears, because Du Bian did not dare to send a letter asking for help, but the other party still sent 50,000 reinforcements, which was really a charcoal in the snow.

"After two months of fierce fighting, the Nguyen rebel king suffered 80,000 casualties and once again withdrew 350 li. Blood Guanyin said: "Duke Song Que and King Li Chang took the opportunity to chase and kill, and successively recovered the territory of Sanfu for hundreds of miles, creating the second Hue victory, which greatly damaged the vitality of the Ruan rebel king. ”

Du Yan said: "This also made the Ruan clan rebel completely fall to the Eastern United Kingdom?"

Blood Guanyin nodded and said, "Yes, Ruan Shun is actually still very unruly, and has been negotiating with the Eastern United Kingdom recently. That battleship Kingpower was the sweetness given to him by the United Kingdom of the East. ”

Du said: "It's a pity that this broken ship is now ours." ”

......

When Du Chang's Jiaolong battleship, the scarred cruiser Wangquan, and ten captured warships of various colors appeared in the port of Shun'anhai, the crowd in the port was completely boiling.

Du Bian walked to the deck and saw King Lichang, Queen Princess Ning Chen, and Duke Song Que of Zhennan of the Daning Empire all in the port.

The battleship had just docked, and drums were playing in the harbor.

King Le Chang organized a grand welcoming ceremony.

Du Bian and Blood Guanyin hurriedly got off the battleship, came to King Lichang, bowed down and said, "Foreign Minister Du Bian, meet His Majesty the King." ”

King Li Chang returned the salute, bowed to the end and said: "Marquis Du Bian, great kindness is not grateful! The Li family will never forget the kindness of Marquis Du Bian. ”

Du Bian hurriedly said: "His Majesty the King and I are close to each other, and we should help each other." ”

King Lichang looked at Du Bianliang for a long time and said, "Seeing that you have returned safely, I ...... I was overjoyed and even breathed a long sigh of relief. ”

Next, Du Bian invited King Li Chang, Queen Ning Chen, and Duke Song Que of Zhennan to board the Jiaolong battleship for a visit.

The three of them watched in amazement.

Completely shocked by this giant ship, King Li Chang stroked the thick cannon body and said, "Marquis Du Bian, we are really far behind by the world. ”

Du Chang said: "This point is deeply experienced by foreign ministers overseas. ”

King Li Chang said: "I hope we will catch up and seize the day." ”

Next, King Li Chang wanted to speak a little, but he didn't say it after all. Because for the Daning Empire, although he is the most loyal ally, he is an outsider after all, and some things are difficult to say.

Next, Zhennan Gong Song Que and Du Bian had a secret talk.

"Now that the rebel king of the Nguyen clan is negotiating with the United Kingdom of the East, we want to take the opportunity to go south in one go and destroy the Nguyen clan, lest it be difficult to completely destroy the United Kingdom of the East after the forces of the United Kingdom of the East officially land in the Kingdom of Annam. Duke Song Que said: "But with the army in my hands and the army of King Lichang, it is a little difficult to completely destroy him, so I need the help of your Zhenxi Marquis Mansion." ”

"However, the Daning Empire is engaged in a great battle with the Jurchen Empire, which is a real battle of national fortunes. Duke Song Que said: "And Du Chang, your army has become the backbone of the empire, once you participate in the war in the north, it will be difficult to send troops to support the Kingdom of Annan." ”

Du Bian's eyes narrowed.

In the current situation, supporting the Kingdom of Annam is supporting itself.

Because the entire Kingdom of Annam is the rear of Du Chang, the two sides communicate with each other, and the exchanges have been very close.

Once the rebel king of the Nguyen clan was eliminated and King Le Chang unified the entire kingdom of Annam, Du Bian had no worries at all in the rear, and the key Eastern United Kingdom also lost this landing base.

But the Armageddon between the north and the Jurchen Empire really related to the fate of the Daning Empire.

"Standing in the interests of the southwest, I hope that you will send troops to the south and destroy the rebel king of the Nguyen clan with us. Duke Song Que said: "But standing in the interests of the empire, I hope you will focus on the war in the north." Once the Jurchen Empire is won, the revival of my Daning Empire is really in sight. ”

Du Yan pondered for a moment and said, "Uncle Song, I don't know if you know anything about the southwest?"

Duke Song Que's face suddenly became complicated, and he said, "Are you saying that Wang Jianshu went to Guangxi and actually took up the post of governor of Huguang, and the capital sent a large number of officials into the southwestern provinces?"

Du Chang nodded.

Duke Song Que was silent for a while and said, "From a personal emotional point of view, of course I support you. But after all, you have been missing for half a year, the entire southwest group of dragons has no leader, and the Li clan's power in the southwest is still extremely huge, so you really want to avoid the resurgence of the Li clan. ”

Then, Song Que said: "His Majesty the Emperor said that the southwest of the empire was defeated by Du Chang. If someone says that Du Bian has become a prince of the empire, it is a prince, anyway, the meat is rotten in the pot. But the three southwestern provinces are still ...... after all."

Every sentence of Duke Zhennan is very difficult and contradictory. He couldn't choose between the capital and Du Bian.

Du Chang is completely understandable.

"I support your changes in the southwestern provinces. Duke Song Que said: "Moreover, I have sent the prince Song Yu to your command to learn the new policy, and he is now serving as a governor under your command." ”

Du Bian was stunned and said, "Let the prince be the governor of me?"

Zhennan Gong Song Que sighed: "His muscles and veins have been abolished, he can't be a general, and he can't lead the army." And he is relatively weak-hearted, and he is not very suitable for battlefield battles. ”

"As for myself......" Duke Song Que did not finish.

Accompanied by King Lichang, Duke Song Que of Zhennan had a meal, and after receiving sufficient supplies, Du Bian's Jiaolong battleship set sail north again and headed for Lianzhou Port.

......

The new policy has only been implemented in the three southwestern provinces for about eight months, but it has already undergone astonishing changes.

The first is the explosion in food production.

The three southwestern provinces are not major grain-producing provinces, otherwise Du Chang would not have sent troops to Hunan.

Previously, the three southwestern provinces were barely self-sufficient in grain.

I didn't expect that after all the fields were distributed to the farmers, there would be such a great enthusiasm for production.

In the past, there were very few yeoman farmers in the southwestern provinces, and land annexation was very serious, so the enthusiasm for production was average.

When these peasants got their hands on the fields, they did everything they could to increase the fertility of the fields by burning grass and wood ashes and picking up whatever manure they could see.

In addition, Du Bian's Zhenxi Marquis' Mansion lent money to farmers, allowing several families to buy cattle together, and then repaying the loan with grain.

There is also a subsidy policy for newly cultivated fields, the dispatch of troops to build water conservancy, and so on.

In the past eight months, grain output has increased by 39 percent compared with the year before.

Moreover, the warlocks of the peerless dungeons are researching new seeds, researching new crops.

In fact, there are many new crops in the peerless dungeon, and the yield is amazing. However, the water there has been contaminated by radiation, and the decision-making team of the Marquis Mansion in Zhenxi was very careful not to bring out the seeds inside for large-scale planting, but only to conduct small-scale experiments.

However, it is foreseeable that the grain output of the three southwestern provinces will certainly increase sharply again this year.

Not only grain, but also salt works, mines, metal smelting, weapon manufacturing, and wax cloth all achieved a sharp increase in production.

Especially weapons, metal smelting, with a peerless dungeon team and minerals, it is completely advancing by leaps and bounds.

The output of steel, light gold, secret gold, and various colored metals has completely doubled and skyrocketed, which is much higher than when Li's toast was in its heyday.

And artillery as the god of war!

After a few months of exploration, the artillery factories in the southwest have now been established, and there are three of them, all of which are in the secret mountains, and there is even one in the peerless dungeon, and there are two gunpowder factories.

Of course, neither artillery nor gunpowder has yet been manufactured on a large scale. But it's already a leap from scratch.

Even the army has expanded from 230,000 to 300,000!

In short, the energy that erupted from the New Deal exceeded everyone's imagination, including Li Wenyu, Li Zhan and others.

Not to mention the capital, the surrounding provinces, and the people of the Fang family.

They feel that the southwestern provinces have just gone through a big war, and it is good to be able to restore people's livelihood two or three years ago.

In particular, the scholar families, big landlords, and so-called elites in the three southwestern provinces have all withdrawn from the southwest, and everyone asserts that without the leadership of these elites, those mud legs in the southwest will definitely be in a mess.

Those people sent by Du Chang had not passed the imperial examination, had not been selected for the examination, and had not even been able to show off their talents, so how could they possibly manage the local civil affairs? Just wait for the entire southwest to be eroded and the people to make a living.

However, I did not expect that with the combined efforts of the army, strict laws, and thousands of officials, the so-called New Deal to Eliminate Mutiny broke out in less than a year, and such great results broke out.

This is shocking, stunned, and even terrifying.

Many elite scholar families are afraid in their hearts, doesn't this mean that without us, the southwestern provinces can still prosper?

How can this be?

As a result, countless scholars and scholars frantically attacked the New Deal of the three southwestern provinces, frantically slandered the achievements of the New Deal of the three southwestern provinces, described this place as hell on earth, and described Du Chang as an unprecedented rebel in thousands of years, an evil cult that crawled out of hell and was destroyed on the same day.

Immediately afterwards, the news of Du Bian's death spread.

Countless people celebrated and were ecstatic, and they used all their strength to announce to the world that Du Bian was dead. Vomiting blood and dying in Princess Ningxue's cave room, she was punished by heaven.

Rumors that Du Chang is dead have been circulating for months.

Now, almost the entire Daning Empire believes that Du Bian is dead. Even the officials of the three southwestern provinces, to a certain extent, this also greatly affected the production and construction of the entire southwest.

Immediately afterwards, there was a large influx of officials in the capital. Wang Jianshu, the governor of Huguang, entered Guangxi and had a huge conflict with the officials of Du Bian's line.

As a result, the excellent development momentum of the three southwestern provinces has once again been hindered.

Especially those officials who are loyal to Du Bian, most of them come from the peerless dungeon, as well as the descendants of Du Bian's East Factory.

Countless rumors say that Du Chang is dead, and of course their morale continues to decline, and some even lose their goals.

Because, Du Bian doesn't even have an heir. Once Du Bian really died, they didn't even know who they were loyal to, and they completely lost their direction.

......

At nightfall, the battleship Jiaolong docked at Lianzhou Port.

At first, the defenders of the port were still facing a great enemy, and when they finally discovered Du Bian's figure, they were immediately ecstatic!

"The Marquis is back!"

"The Lord has returned. ”

"The Lord is back!"

Suddenly, all the defenders of the entire port poured out, and soon after, the defenders of the entire Lianzhou Mansion poured out.

Looking at Du Bian's eyes, he was incomparably excited, incomparably ecstatic.

In the past six months, countless rumors have been rumored that Du has died, and almost everyone believes it, except for his army.

Because, many people in Du Chang's army have seen his miracles with their own eyes. In their minds, how could Du Bian die?

At this time, I saw Du Bian appear again, and he completed the transformation from the inside out, and he was full of dragons and tigers between walking.

Thousands of troops were so excited that they knelt down one after another.

"The Lord is back!"

"The Lord is back!"

"Long live the Sovereign, long live!"

......

The moment Lord Yuzhen saw Du Bian, he couldn't believe his eyes at first.

Then tears welled up in her eyes, and she was about to rush over and hug him.

However, when he was still a foot away, he stopped, and just looked at him silently weeping, and his heart was extremely excited and ecstatic.

"Everybody says you're dead, but ...... I don't believe it!"

"You've really grown up a lot!"

Du Yan stepped forward and gently hugged the county lord of Yuzhen.

After being excited, the county lord of Yuzhen said: "Du Bian, hurry, go to Nanning Mansion to save Chen Ping." ”

Du Yan was shocked: "What's wrong with Chen Ping?"

The lord of Yuzhen said: "Lord Wang Jianshu, the governor of Huguang, has arrested him, and is trying him in public, and wants to behead him." ”

As soon as these words came out, Du Bian suddenly exploded!

If you Wang Jianshu are good cabinet ministers, you have to come to the southwest to fight for power with me, and you want to kill my henchmen?

Are you going crazy?

Are you really dead when I'm Du Chang?

Suddenly, Du became angry and said: "Chen Ping is the master of the Marquis Mansion in Zhenxi, and he is my confidant. The governor of Huguang wants to arrest him, and you will let them arrest him? What about your army?"

Du Bian is really angry, he has hundreds of thousands of troops, and his henchmen have been captured and beheaded?

How did Wang Jianshu, the governor of Huguang, capture Chen Ping? Did Du Bian's army eat dry rice?

Lord Yuzhen said: "Lord Li Wenyu will not let the army be dispatched, he does not want to intensify the contradictions between the two sides. ”

Du Yan was stunned: "What did Chen Ping do?"

The county lord of Yuzhen said: "He killed one prefect and three prefects sent by the capital!"

Suddenly, Du Bian could hardly believe his ears.

Chen Ping: That weak genius boy, that shy boy who couldn't participate in the imperial examination because he was disfigured by Gu poison, actually killed one prefect and three prefects?

"Why?" said Du.

The lord of Yuzhen County said: "Because your officials have already collected taxes from the people once, but the prefect of Wuzhou and several prefects of the county have once again collected taxes from the peasants of the whole province. The people resisted taxes and were suppressed by the Wuzhou prefect. Chen Ping is from Wuzhou, so they begged Chen Ping's head. Chen Ping led the Dongchang warriors to Wuzhou Mansion to investigate, and had a fierce conflict with the local government, killing one prefect and three prefects. ”

This, this is really a big case.

Killing four court officials, and one of them is a high-ranking official of the fourth grade, this is completely a crime of rebellion, and it is to be executed.

Du Bian said: "At that time, the capital sent officials to Guangxi, why didn't my father-in-law stop it?"

The county lord of Yuzhen looked at Du Yan and said: "Because of the holy decree, Lord Li Wenyu is a loyal minister and cannot be stopped!"

......

Inside the Huguang Governor's Palace!

Li Wenyu said sharply: "Your Excellency Governor, Jian Shu Gong! You and I are both for the empire, you led hundreds of officials into Guangxi, I didn't stop it, in the past few months, I have endured the country, and have always ordered the army to refrain from violent conflicts with you." But once you dare to sentence Chen Ping to behead, you will bear the consequences. ”

Wang Jianshu, the cabinet minister and the governor of Huguang, said excitedly: "Duke Wenyu, you and I have been a personal friend for more than ten years, and we can be called close friends, I know that you are a loyal minister, is it possible that my Wang Jianshu is a traitorous minister? Please remember that the three southwestern provinces belong to the Daning Empire, not the independent kingdom of the Marquis of Du Bian." Chen Ping is a confidant of the Marquis of Du Bian, but he kills the officials of the imperial court in public, which is like a conspiracy against him, if he is not beheaded, where is the dignity of the imperial court? Could it be that he, as a confidant of the Marquis Du Bian, can he get away with it?"

Wang Jianshu pointed at Li Wenyu and said loudly: "Duke Wenyu, you are an official of the imperial court, not a personal subordinate of the Marquis of Du Chang. You have to put your personal position right, Guangxi is a province of the empire, not the private domain of the Marquis of Dubian. ”

"Someone, take the official uniform and hat of this governor, and I will openly try Chen Ping's case. ”

"Duke Wen, my Wang Jianshu's good head is placed here, if you want to rebel, you can take my head away at any time!"

"Chen Ping, I will definitely kill! If I don't kill him, where is the law of the imperial court?"

Then, Wang Jianshu, the governor of Huguang, put on his official uniform and hat, and came to the lobby to publicly try Chen Ping.

Young Chen Ping, because of Gu poison, his face is still ugly.

He wore shackles and knelt quietly on the ground.

Wang Jianshu, the governor of Huguang, slapped the wood and said: "Prisoner Chen Ping, you killed the officials of the imperial court, and you are complicit in rebellion, the crime is unforgivable, can you admit your guilt?"

Meanwhile.

Du Bian led hundreds of cavalry and rushed into Nanning Mansion and rushed to Huguang Governor's Mansion.

In an instant, the wind and clouds were surging in the sky, and the mountain rain was coming.
