At noon on the first day of July in the eighth year of Yuanzhuo, the weather was as hot as a fire, and the Jingshi, who had not rained for more than half a month, was so hot that even if there were two copper basins filled with ice cubes in the room, Yinzuo still felt that it was hot enough, and he couldn't fall asleep when he lay on the couch and turned over and over, so he simply got up, paced to the desk, and forced the anxiety in his heart, and approved the fold, but only a few copies, Yinzuo impatiently threw down the red pen in his hand, tilted his head, and looked at the ceiling in a daze.

It's been two months, and the First World War in Nanyang should have ended, if it was according to the schedule, the news should have arrived in Beijing a long time ago, but now there is no news at all, could it be that the whole army has been wiped out? No way? Even if the old fourteenth made a mistake in command, with the huge strength of the First Fleet, it was impossible that even a battleship would not be able to escape, or would it still be fighting? It can't be either! According to the news I got last time, the grain reserves of the British Yankees could not survive July, and with the personality of the British, there was no reason to sit idly by, and eighty percent of this battle had already been fought, but how could there be no news? Yinzuo walked to the wall with a huge nautical chart in a distraught mood, staring at the nautical chart, his face was full of worry - this is a war to gamble on the fortunes of the country, Yinzuo can't afford to lose, once he loses, not only the domestic reform will be frustrated, but he wants to launch a large-scale ocean-going expedition again without ten or eight years of preparation, I'm afraid it's impossible, how many decades can there be in life, Yinzuo really can't afford to lose!

"Qiqi Sheng, Ma Zhongtang and Lin Zhongtang are here. Just as Yinzuo was in a daze, the eunuch Gao Nianying walked up to him and whispered.

"Oh. Yinzuo came back to his senses from his reverie, frowned and said, "Announce it." Gao Nianying hurriedly whispered a promise, retreated, and led Ma Qi and Lin Xuanyi, the two military ministers on duty, into the room.

"Holy Heaven, great joy!" Ma Qi held a stack of official documents in his hand. fell to his knees, so excited that he was a little incoherent, and he could hear Yinzuo's confusion, and he couldn't understand what Comrade Lao Ma was talking about, and looked at Ma Qi suspiciously. However, although Lin Xuanyi's face was also full of excitement, he calmed down a little, and explained in a trembling voice: "Holy Lord, Nanyang Great Victory: I am the life of the three generals of the Qing Dynasty. The British and Dutch allied forces have been completely annihilated, and the capture is not counted, and the governor of Liangguang has arrived in an urgent hurry of 800 miles. ”

"What?" Although he had been prepared in his heart, Yinzuo was still stunned by this great news that fell from the sky, and his eyes couldn't help but moisten, and he was so excited that he couldn't help himself: Malacca, I have Malacca, there is Malacca. Asia is the Asia of my Qing Dynasty, and the living space of the Qing Dynasty is worry-free!

"Holy Lord, this battle has been won a long time ago, but it is a pity that the warship returning home to report the news encountered a storm at sea and was delayed. Therefore, it was only sent to Guangzhou three days ago...... "Ma Qi was also so excited that he forgot to present the official document, and he babbled endlessly, strictly speaking, this is also a faux pas before the king. However, Yinzuo didn't have time to care about this bit of, so he ran over regardless of it, and copied the official document from Ma Qi's arms, using so much force that Ma Qi was startled, and he couldn't even finish his words.

"Okay, great, it's really timely!" Yinzuo went through the official document in ten lines at a glance. Full of applause, the big stone that had been hanging in his heart for several months finally fell to the ground, his face was full of smiles, and he actually turned around in the room, completely forgetting the majesty of the emperor, as if he had just picked up the small trader in the big ingots, and the two ministers of military aircraft were stunned by the look of smugness.

"Ahem, ahem, Holy One. That ......" watched Yinzuo be so happy. Lin Xuanyi had to fake coughing a few times and cautiously reminded him. This is Lin Xuanyi, if he changed someone, he was afraid that he would not have the courage to do this, at least Ma Qi, the chief minister of military aircraft, did not dare to remind Yinzuo to pay attention to his image.

Hey, forgetful, forgetful, aren't we happy? Only then did Yinzuo realize that he was a little debauched, and it was really not the behavior that a human monarch should have, so he scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, and was happy for a while, and ordered loudly: "Come here, announce that all the ministers of military aircraft and Prince Cheng, Prince Yi, Prince Yong, Hongli, and Carry Forward will meet immediately." ”

Yinzuo is now in Changchun Garden to escape the heat, except for Ma Qi and Lin Xuanyi, the two ministers on duty are in the garden, the rest of the people are resting in their own mansions, this noon was lifted up from the bed by the eunuchs, and was desperately urged to rush to the Yanbo Zhishuang Pavilion, together the officials are all sweating profusely and full of questions, no one can figure out which crazy the saint is, but no one dares to ask, they can only honestly kneel in front of the palace, waiting for Yinzuo to speak, even Yun Zhen does not dare to say anything, It's just that his face is pale.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have great news to inform you here. Yinzuo glanced at the important ministers who knelt down all over the ground, and waved his hand to Gao Nianying with a smile on his face and said, "Xuan! ”

Gao Nianying bowed in response, unfolded the fold in his hand, and read it out in a sharp voice: "General Yunyu of the Southern Expedition and Deputy General Liu Yao told the Holy Lord: Thanks to the great blessing of the Holy Lord and the lives of the officers and soldiers of the three armies, our Qing Navy has leveled the South Seas, and Malacca, Danmasek, Batavia and other places have been swept away, with a total of more than 70,000 enemies annihilated and countless captures...... At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Navy fought with the enemy in the Java Sea and captured the commander of the Dutch Far East Fleet, Littles; Lei Ming ascended to the general, and then took advantage of the victory to attack Batavia at night, annihilating more than 4,000 defenders...... On 11 May, our fleet fought a decisive battle against the English Far East Fleet in the waters off the island of Bardas...... In this battle, more than 40,000 enemies were annihilated, eight enemy warships of all sizes were sunk, 27 were captured, and seven enemy ships that had escaped the net also surrendered to our single Marcy garrison on 12 May, killing the enemy chief Admiral Nadal, and capturing more than 10 enemy commanders, including Vice Admiral Bradley, Rear Admiral Brown, and Rear Admiral Connelly, and the entire fleet of England's Far East fleet was annihilated...... In several battles, our army lost 11 large and small warships, and suffered more than 4,600 casualties among officers and men......"

The chapter is very long, and it takes a long time for Gao Nian to read a pillar of incense before he has finished reading the excerpts, but the ministers are not too long, everyone listens to the blood boiling, even the green face of Prince Yong Yun Zhen also shows a red light, this is one of the great victories since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, not to mention the expansion of thousands of miles, but also the world, it is really an exciting good news.

"Shengshang, this battle is a great victory, raising the prestige of our country overseas, the minister does not dare not congratulate the wisdom of the saint, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Prince Cheng Yunzhi was the first to stand up and said loudly.

"Yes, this kind of victory depends on the wise decision of the saint, and the ministers congratulate the emperor on his victory and consolidate the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, which is an immortal achievement!" Prince Yi Yunxiang also immediately said.

"Emperor Shengming, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" All the ministers couldn't help but shout.

"Hehe, you Aiqing is a sycophant, but it's quite useful, I don't dare to call myself a saint, this battle can be fought so beautifully is all the result of the heroic struggle of the naval officers, I am very relieved!" Yinzuo laughed and waved his hand, signaling that everyone didn't need to praise anymore, glanced at the ministers and said: "The battle is won, but the matter is not over, there are still a lot of hands and tails in the back, well, what do you think of the matter attached to the Sultan of Malacca's table, let's talk about it, I listen." ”

Yun Yu's excerpt incidentally mentions that the Sultan of Malacca, Naraba, is willing to annex the Qing Dynasty and become a sub-province of the Qing Dynasty, on the condition that he be given a corresponding royal title to ensure the prosperity and wealth of his descendants, and this condition is the same as that of the Sultan of Malacca when he proposed to Ming Chengzu to attach it, and there is no change.

Yunzhi is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and is responsible for foreign affairs, at this time, when he heard Yinzuo mention this matter, he hurriedly stood up and said: "Holy Lord, the minister thinks that Malacca is really a key place for foreign trade, and this place must be under the strict control of my Qing Dynasty, but according to the current laws of my Qing Dynasty, a different surname is not allowed to be crowned a king, and this throne is not easy to do, and the minister thinks that my army has already occupied the entire territory of Malacca, and a small local sultan seems to have no need to pay attention to it, so it is better to ......" Yunzhi made a chopping action.

"The third brother is inappropriate, the saint, the younger brother thinks that the Sultan of Malacca is willing to be attached, which shows that his heart is towards my Qing Dynasty, if it is killed at will, once it arouses the disgust of the locals, it is not beautiful, if it is riotous, the law and order is not necessarily a good thing, the younger brother please think twice. Prince Yi Yunxiang immediately objected.

Well, it's very easy to kill, a swing of a knife is enough, but after killing, that matter is definitely very troublesome, what's the big deal about a throne, but if you want to change the law for such a little chief, it's not necessary, it's really not easy to solve. Yinzuo naturally understands that killing people can't solve the problem, Yinzuo is determined to merge Malacca into the Qing Dynasty instead of using it as a colony, this is a major event related to the lifeblood of the Qing Dynasty, and Yinzuo can't be careless, but how to solve it is a little scratching his head.

The ministers all agreed to the annex, but how to solve the matter of the local sultan was red-faced, and in the midst of chaos, the second elder brother stood up and said loudly: "Emperor Ama, the son has a book." ”
