"Her Majesty! This is General Wu from the Ming Dynasty, and the cannons and guns that defeated the Spanish fleet were produced by his factory. George stood up straight and introduced to the Queen of England.

Wu Sangui hurriedly knelt on the ground, in his understanding, the queen was similar to the emperor. It's just that he doesn't understand, for the sake of Mao's dignified British Empire, get a woman to come out and be the queen. What do men eat!

"Hello! Wu. It's not you here, you don't need to practice such etiquette. The Queen of England looked very kind, with a slightly large mouth with a perfect curve, and a smile that showed eight white teeth.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wu Sangui raised his head and looked at the queen sitting on the throne!

In the Ming Dynasty, if you dare to look at the emperor like this, it is called a loss of honor in front of the king. If you catch up with the emperor and are in a bad mood, you will be in big trouble.

The Queen of England's skin is very white, that white is a harsh white, and the cyan veins on her neck can be clearly seen. There are a few freckles on the face, but not much. What impressed Wu Sangui the most was the crown inlaid with various gemstones. Especially the huge ruby on top, which is the size of an egg. It's like a piece of clotted blood, hanging on a crown.

"Wu! Your weapons are good, and this time we were able to defeat the Spanish fleet, and your weapons contributed to it. What you want, bring it up. I can satisfy you as much as I can! The queen also looked Wu Sangui up and down, and it was the first time she had seen a Ming man from the far east.

"Her Majesty! I beg you to send your Armada to attack the Ming Empire in the East. Now Li Xiao, the actual controller of the Ming Empire, is a cruel guy. He enslaved the people of the Ming Dynasty as if he were enslaving cattle and horses. He also imprisoned my father and tried to kill me many times.

The Dutch Javanese country was just too oppressed by the Ming maritime merchants, which caused the people to resist fiercely. As a result, Li Xiao forced King Annam Nguyen to send Annan soldiers to wash Java with blood.

Many people died in Java, and tens of thousands of people were captured in Daming. The Ming people cut off their heads and hung them on the city walls as a way to show their martial prowess. Your Majesty, you are God's emissary to the West, and you cannot watch millions of people struggle under tyranny. Deliver them, this is God's mission to you. Wu Sangui said it with emotion, and when it came to the emotional place, he shed two tears.

God is a dry-haired Wu Sangui is too lazy to care, in his eyes Jesus is probably the same kind of person as Shakyamuni and Muhammad. Belong to the kind of people who are offered up and worshipped.

Since the English love God, bring God out. It is best that the queen is a devout believer, and as soon as God is mentioned, she sends troops to the East to fight to the death with Li Xiao.

Anyway, the people who can do it against Li Xiao now are all good people.

"Wu! I can't make a decision on this matter, it needs to be discussed by the council. But on the basis of your merits, I can make you an earl. You are the first earl of my British Empire from the East, would you like it? The Queen of England did not express her position, which made Wu Sangui very frustrated. Fortunately, the Queen of England gave him the title of earl, which slightly eased Wu Sangui's disappointment.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wu Sangui knelt down and kowtowed again, which caused laughter from all the British nobles present. Their eyes were full of curiosity about this alien from the East.

"I, Queen Elizabeth, have made Wu from the East the Earl of New Delhi by the right bestowed by my Heavenly Father." Queen Elizabeth drew a long sword and put it on Wu Sangui's shoulder.

"Thank you Your Majesty, I, Wu Sangui, will never give up and be loyal to Her Majesty." Wu Sangui kowtowed again.

This time, even the queen almost burst out laughing.

The ceremony was a little shabby, Wu Sangui didn't even eat a meal, and was taken out of Buckingham Palace by George.

"George! If the queen of your country says it doesn't matter, what parliament must pass it? Just walked out of Buckingham Palace, Wu Sangui asked with some puzzlement. The queen of the British Empire is not the emperor. Could it be that the emperor still said it? The Ming cabinet is powerful, but no one dares to treat the emperor like this.

Wu Sangui feels that this is the queen's excuse!

"Wu! Our queen is actually the nominal queen, she only represents the leader of our British Empire, and is not in charge of actual matters. Generally speaking, it is the prime minister who is in charge. But the decree has to be passed through the parliament. Parliament is divided into the House of Lords and the House of Commons, uh......! This is a bit complicated, so I'll tell you more about it when I have time. George felt that Wu Sangui should have a hard time understanding these things.

"Good!" Wu Sangui had already heard it loud. Prime Minister, none of the first assistant sounds magnificent. And the House of Commons, it's all messy. It's going to take ten or eight years just to do a fucking thing.

"Hello! George! A bearded old man approached and greeted George from afar.

"Original Marshal Drake, it's a pleasure to meet you." Seeing the bearded old man, George hurriedly nodded in greeting.

"This is ......!" Drake was very curious when he saw Wu Sangui, and it was the first time he had seen the Ming people in the East.

"This is the Earl of New Delhi!" George introduced Drake to Wu Sangui beside him.

"Delhi! New Delhi? Drake struggled to figure out where New Delhi was in the British Isles.

"Oh, a place in northern India." George hurriedly explained.

"India, oh, India ......! George, all those runs in my fleet are from India, did you make them? Drake asked with interest.

"Marshal Drake, this is Wu who made artillery. The artillery used in your fleet is produced in his factory. ”

"Oh! Wu, you're very good. The kind of cannonball that can explode is much more powerful than the cannonball of the Spaniards. This time we won the Spanish fleet, and you have a lot to do. I'm going to meet Her Majesty, and if you have time tonight, you can come to my house for a drink. "I heard that the guns on my warship were all made by Wu Sangui, and I immediately had a good impression of Wu Sangui.

"Okay! Field Marshal Drake. Wu Sangui didn't know who this was, but when he heard that he was a marshal, he immediately stammered. No matter what dynasty it is, the people who lead the troops are all bigwigs and real power. It's got to be a good one!

"Okay, I'll go to see Her Majesty." Drake shook hands with Wu Sangui and walked into Buckingham Palace.

"Who is this person, he seems to be very awesome." Wu Sangui glanced at Drake who walked in, and hurriedly asked George beside him.

"Admiral Derecker, it was he who led the Royal Navy to victory over the Spanish Armada." George whispered to Wu Sangui.

"Drake, Marshal......!"

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

Li Xiao was in the capital, and he saw [apex] and arrived at Dzerzhinsky, which was transported all the way from the Black Dragon.

I haven't shaved or washed my face for two months, and Dzerzhinsky's beard is all over his face. Blue eyes, sunken inside a yellow beard. This look reminds Li Xiao of Teddy!

Next to Dzerzhinsky, stood Dzhugashvili. This is not much better than Dzerzhinsky, and he has a big beard on his face. I can't even see where the beard is and where the eyebrows are.

"Pack up these two!" Li Xiao glanced at Man Gui helplessly. The beards of these two goods are stained with broth and vegetable soup. It's all dreaded! Coupled with the sweat glands unique to Westerners, the heavy smell of the body made Li Xiao almost shed tears.

"Brother Xiao! What are you going to do with these two goods? Man Gui waved his hand, and someone immediately took them out.

"I've figured it out to make them pullers. Then make a glass cover, build two large pavilions on the side of the noon gate, and put them in the pavilion to look like babies. Let everyone in Daming know what will happen to those who violate my Daming.

In the future, every time a great victory was won, the head of the captured enemy would be made into a wax figure. Lao Tzu wants to see if these people can fill the noon gate. Li Xiao picked up the handkerchief and blew his nose fiercely. Push the window open, it's so fucking smelly.

The cold air outside the window blew in, and Sun Chengzong pulled the small quilt on his body up.

"Doing so will greatly boost the self-confidence of the people and let them know that a strong empire can protect them. In this way, more people will go to the frontier to reclaim. Instead of huddled together and squeezed into a lump.

This time, the household department has a national census of the population, and I don't know if I don't know it, and I am shocked when I see it. Shandong, Jiangsu, Henan these places. The population is close to 50 million, and Shandong province alone has a population of 21 million.

21 million people are crammed into a lump in one province. Cultivate those lands that have been cultivated for thousands of years! Fortunately, there are corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes and other high-yield things. Otherwise, there would have been a famine as before.

Divert people and go to Liaodong. From Tielingwei to the north, there are large tracts of land that are not cultivated. Although it can only ripen once a year, it is better than the wilderness. Ahem, ahem! Sun Chengzong lit a cigarette and coughed violently as soon as he took a puff.

"Elder Sun, Doctor Li can say, you'd better smoke less in your body." Li Xiao hurriedly brought Sun Chengzong a cup of tea, and patted Sun Chengzong's back to make him spit out the phlegm.

"I'm seventy, what if I'm in good health, what if I'm not in good health? In this world, who doesn't end up kicking both legs. You and I are immortals, can you still fly in the daytime?

Don't care about the old man, you can see Daming thriving in your lifetime. Instead of looking at the Ming Dynasty, he was repeatedly bullied by the barbarians in the north. The old man is enough in this life! ”

Since the beginning of winter, Sun Chengzong's health has been very poor. A cold completely made him lie on his stomach, and he couldn't stop coughing for the past few days. Li Xiao was very afraid that Sun Chengzong's cough would turn into pneumonia, although Tang Ruowang and Li Zhongzi made out penicillin, but that thing looked too disgusting. Anyway, Li Xiao won't eat the anti-inflammatory drugs they developed!

"Old Sun! Our Daming is getting better and better, aren't you going to see how prosperous Daming can be? Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde exterminated all the bandits in Sichuan, and Sichuan and Chongqing once again became the country of abundance.

I heard that the introduction of corn in Sichuan and Chongqing has been very successful, and the yield of potatoes per mu has reached an astonishing figure of 8,000 catties. You may not believe it, but now potatoes are processed into feed for pigs in addition to eating some as vegetables.

The price of pork in the market has dropped again and again, and now ordinary people can cut some meat every day and go home for a tooth sacrifice. In the autumn of this year, Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, and Hebei all had bumper harvests. The imperial court no longer has to rely on the grain transportation of Su Song Erfu to the north! The household department handed over the fold, preparing to officially stop the grain going north. As a result, food prices in the south are expected to fall again.

I heard that there are already people in Jiangnan who are buying rice to make wine, which is a harbinger of prosperity. Zhang Huangyan talked about the changes of this year, and his heart was very happy.

After solving the food problem in the Central Plains provinces, Daming began to drive into the fast lane. Shandong, Henan, Jiangsu, these places will continue to migrate to Liaodong and Guanzhong. In the near future, food production will be even higher.

Only when the stomach is full can we engage in industrialization, and only when the material is extremely rich can people have more time and energy to innovate.

"The whole north is building railways, and the railways in Shanhaiguan can be repaired to Tongzhou during the Chinese New Year this year. Jinan's railway can also be built to Tongzhou. From Jinzhou, you can take the train all the way to Jinan and get off. The journey, which used to take more than a month, is now a one-day stay on the train.

Our Jingshi and Tianjin Wei are also connected by railway, and it is enough to get on the train from the capital to Tianjin Wei in more than an hour. Sun Chengzong raised a finger and shook it.

"An hour! In the past, I didn't dare to think that it would not be so fast to run the horse to death. ”

"This speed is still too slow, the speed of the train is extreme, and it takes half an hour from the capital to Jinzhou. And I think it's better to set up the north-south railway hub in Tianjin.

Tianjin has a port, and it is on the edge of Bohai Bay. If it is repaired in Tianjin, you can save at least one hour from Jinzhou to Jinan. This matter has to be discussed with Shi Kefa, and it cannot be said that because the capital is the capital, the railway hub is located here.

Besides, the land in the capital will be very tight in the future, and it is better not to enter the city for this thing than the railway station, and it will be completed in Tongzhou. The walls of our capital city are best not to be destroyed. Li Xiao remembered that in later generations, the city walls of the capital were ripped to pieces. The famous nine gates of the capital have also been cleaned up. It's distressing to think about it now, these are all left by the ancestors.

The walls of the capital, on which four carriages ran side by side did not have the slightest problem. It's a big project to repair this thing, and it's a big project to dismantle it.

"Uh......! You've said all this, but you haven't said what to do with the captives. Man Gui heard the lawsuit, so he didn't care what railroad he built. He just wants military merit! Now that the people have been caught, I guess there is some way to show it. can't talk about it like this, and lose Lao Tzu's exploits.

"The old rule, pull it out and chop it with a knife. Let people know that I cannot be humiliated. ”
