Early morning.

Zhu Yujiao curled up with her face facing the wall, she felt that the emperor had sat up, but she pretended to be asleep and was embarrassed to face it.

She thought that she had spent her life like that. I didn't expect to be suddenly accepted as a concubine, I felt a little resistant, but I had some expectations, who doesn't want to marry a good man?

Twenty-five-year-old Zhu Yujiao also fantasized about what her future husband would be. Seeing the brothers get married, and even the maid in the family is getting married, I feel more and more lonely and lonely.

Last night, the red candle was burning, and with the candle flame, she secretly looked at Zhao Han.

Although I have seen it countless times, this time it is different, it seems that the emperor is a little less majestic and a little more handsome and kind.

A night of joy, sure enough, there is a different taste.

The emperor dressed himself, did not let the palace maids serve, and then went out into the courtyard to brush his teeth.

Only then did Zhu Yujiao turn over and look outside the house, stunned for a while, and heard the emperor instructing the palace maid outside: "Xiao Jiu was tired last night, let her sleep a little longer, and then wake her up after eight o'clock." ”

"Yes!"

The palace maid left with the basin, and the emperor also left, and I heard that the emperor liked to work while eating.

The emperor's instructions made Zhu Yujiao's heart sweet.

But now that there was no one in the house, Zhu Yujiao lay alone for a while, and felt a little empty.

Anyway, there are gains and losses, and she doesn't live outside.

Zhao Han went to deal with government affairs early in the morning, he was lazy a few days ago, and then it was the Dragon Boat Festival, the officials were on vacation and resting, and many unimportant official documents were still piled up.

"Your Majesty, the face is here."

Hot tomato egg noodles, set aside with the aroma of green onions, it is the season for tomatoes to be on the market.

Zhao Han took a bite, chewed the pasta in his mouth, and wrote down Zhu Pi: Got it.

This kind of minor official document can be dragged on for ten days and a half months, and only Zhao Han's signature is required. If you change the emperor who is lazy, it is estimated that you will not be too lazy to look at it.

After sampling more than 20 copies in a row, I suddenly saw a summary report from a vassal state.

Good guys, after the withdrawal of the Datong army, Southeast Asia has become a pot of porridge.

First, the civil war in Cambodia intensified, involving Siam and Han people.

The current Cambodia belongs to the "Udong era". The previous kings all died unexpectedly, and behind the decades of war, there were many forces such as Spain, Portugal, Siam, Dutch, Nguyen, and Malay merchants intervening.

The current king is called Nga Chen, also known as Po Ya Chan (Chinese translation), also known as Lemitti Padai II (European name).

At the beginning, his father killed the king and usurped the throne, and married the daughter of the Vietnamese Nguyen, and also won the support of the Dutch.

After another nine years, Udi usurped the throne as king and killed his father.

Exiled overseas, he was financed by a Malay merchant and married a Malay woman. Immediately converted to *** religion, led a group of Malay soldiers, and with the support of Han merchants, he returned to Cambodia and successfully seized the throne. Then, the expulsion and massacre of the Europeans led to the defeat of the Dutch invasion twice in a row.

However, the people of the whole country believed in Buddhism, and the king's religious beliefs aroused the unanimous dissatisfaction of the government and the opposition.

Several of the brothers of the king are all Buddhists, and they were born to the daughter of the Nguyen family. So he asked the Nguyen family to send troops, but they failed and were killed, leaving only the grandson of the Nguyen daughter, An Suo, and holding high the anti-flag to continue the civil war.

Now the Nguyen clan in Vietnam is too busy to take care of themselves, and the Nguyen daughter does not dare to ask China for help, but instead asks the king of Siam Narai for help.

King Nalai followed China to fight last year and expanded a large part of the country. This year, he readily agreed to send troops, on the condition that after Amber seized the throne, he would cede a piece of territory to Siam.

At the same time, An Suo, the grandson of Nguyen Nguyen, led his troops to seize the firewood stick (Saigon). It was the bride price begged by the Nguyen women, and although it still belongs to Cambodian territory, the main population is the Yue and Han immigrants.

The king was a little overwhelmed and hurriedly asked China for help.

He is the canonized king of the Celestial Empire, Zhao Han has a reason to interfere, and he should interfere, otherwise where is the prestige of the Celestial Empire?

The Cabinet had already made a judgment on this, that is, the Governor reprimanded Siam and ordered it to withdraw its troops immediately and not to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries. The envoy reprimanded Po Ya Zhan (hidden Zhen) and ordered him to convert to Buddhism in the future, and not to ignore the will of the people and insist on going his own way. Then the envoy reprimanded An Suo, not to help the Yue people in the firewood stick (Saigon), if you dare to bully the firewood stick Han people, the Celestial Empire will definitely send troops to recruit!

The envoy reprimanded all three forces, making it clear that China would not send troops for the time being.

Zhao Han agreed with the cabinet's handling method, and Zhu criticized it: Yes.

However, it was said that the king of Siam, Nalai, later received an order from the Chinese envoy, although he was very unhappy, he still let the Siamese soldiers retreat and plundered the Cambodian border.

The uncle and nephew of Ansu and Anso continued to fight the civil war in Cambodia.

Hiding Zhen is purely a problem with his brain, regardless of the reprimand of the Celestial Empire, regardless of the opposition of the government and the opposition, he continues to believe in ***. Amber was very obedient and began to treat the Han people of Saigon kindly, but his move to borrow troops from Siam also attracted the criticism of the Cambodian people.

This Cambodian civil war still has to be fought, and if there is no external interference, it is estimated that it can be fought for decades.

This is a later story, so I won't show it for the time being.

In addition, there is also a fight on the Burmese side.

The Tusi who went south from the north could only bring private soldiers and relatives over, and their ruling power in the Dai State was very weak. So, while they joined forces, they freed the original slaves and captured the Burmese as slaves.

Although the Burmese landlords rose up to resist, their armor had been taken away by the Datong Army, and there were many of them, and their combat effectiveness was worrying. Although the Tusi went south to have few people, they were well armed, and the local slaves who were released were willing to sacrifice their lives to help them fight.

The entire Central Burma region, that is, the territory of the Dai State, has been completely beaten into a pot of porridge.

And the state of Mon in Lower Burma is also at war.

The Mon people were powerful, and the Burmese people couldn't make trouble, so the Mon people fought on their own.

said that one king and two dukes ruled the country, and after only half a year, infighting began, because of the problem of taxation, and the two dukes were unwilling to share too much tax to the king.

The cabinet's handling opinion is to let them continue to fight!

Zhao Han put pen to Zhu Criticism: Yes.

Continuing to look down, Zhao Han couldn't cry or laugh, and the prince of Nanzhang (Laos) fled to Yunnan to ask for asylum.

At this time, the king of Laos, called Surya Wangsa, was a ruthless man raised by Gu. This thing does not trust anyone, first exiles his brothers and sisters, and now even begins to expel his exiled children. His brother had taken refuge in Quang Nam Province several years earlier, and now his son has fled to Yunnan.

Brothers, sisters, and children have been expelled, and when this guy dies, it is expected that Laos will be very exciting, and a bunch of royal family members will rush back to take the throne.

The cabinet's handling suggestion is to let the Yunnan political secretary take in the Lao prince.

Zhao Han put pen to Zhu Criticism: Let this prince of Nanzhang study at Kunming University. Since the prince and concubine have been separated, they can marry the women of Yunnan.

Laos is too poor, Zhao Han doesn't have the energy to annex it, and he can support a king. Let him marry the daughter of the Han family first, learn more Confucian culture, and promote Confucianism in the future, so as to gradually deepen China's influence on Laos.

The next few official documents, all about the floods, were put together by the cabinet.

The local government has been fighting floods and providing disaster relief for a long time, and it is nothing more than a report, and by the way, it asks the imperial court to reduce or reduce taxes in the disaster area.

Zhao Han suddenly saw the report of the Anton Protectorate, and the Russian envoys had arrived in Heilongjiang.

……

Not Cossacks, but regular legations of Tsarist Russia.

Baykov set out from Moscow two years ago.

However, it was the Russian government that learned of China's news. However, he could not figure out the specific situation in China, so he sent an envoy to the country, with the real purpose of obtaining information along the way.

Historically, Baykov met with Shunzhi and pushed off the aggression, saying that the Cossacks were all robbers, and the Russian government was also vigorously purging them. The Manchu monarchs and ministers really believed it, and it is possible that they deliberately took it to be true.

When Zhao Han was reviewing the recital, Baykov had already arrived in Harbin.

The rammed earth city wall here has just been built, and even the city tower has not been repaired, and there are not many people inside and outside the city.

Baykov was an aristocrat from Moscow and even visited Poland and other countries. He said to his deputy: "This is the city of the Khitans? That's it. The countryside we passed along the way, the peasants were very primitive savages, and the urban population here was not very large. Those Cossacks were so useless that they couldn't even beat such a backward country. ”

Afraid that these Tsarist Russian envoys would make trouble, they were escorted by the Datong army along the way.

After crossing the Great Wall of Liao, Bayikov's expression was obviously serious, and it was not until he saw the majestic Shenyang City that he changed his words: "It seems that we have reached the core territory of the Khitans. These Khitan soldiers are also elite, and they really need to be taken seriously. ”

When he heard that he was going to Nanjing by sea, Baykov said that he was seasick, but he actually wanted to take the land route to get more information.

So, the Liaoning Political Department asked the inspectors to take these guys to Shanhaiguan.

When he came to the foot of the Shanhai Pass, Baykov was dumbfounded, such a castle is difficult to break.

After entering the border of Hebei, Baykov's expression became more and more grim. After years of immigration and reproduction, Hebei's population has increased slightly, and it has become like that.

Arriving in Tianjin, Baykov was quite calm, and then the further south he went, the more confused he became.

Historically, the first envoys of Tsarist Russia passed through the deserted northeast and came to Beijing, which had not yet recovered, and returned home saying that China had nothing to fear. So the second batch of Tsarist Russian envoys, the content of the letter of state was simply laughable, and actually ordered the Manchu emperor to submit to the tsar.

What's even more ridiculous is that the ministers did not dare to tell the emperor the truth, and all the translations were changed to respectful words, so the Manchu emperor was so happy that he rewarded these Russian envoys heavily.

After passing through the rich Shandong, all the way south to Yangzhou.

Baykov was already crazy, looking at the crowded big city, he was stunned on the dock for a long time without speaking.

"This isn't your capital?" Bayikov asked.

No one answered.

The officers and inspectors accompanying the Russian mission did not understand what he was saying.

Heading south along the Grand Canal, there will be a big city in a short time, and there are dense riverside towns. The prosperity of those small towns alone is comparable to that of many cities in Russia.
