Qiongzhou City, the palace of the court.

The ministers looked at the empty throne, and then at the aggressive Francis.

"Prime Minister Wang, when will your king return?"

A man with a Western sword on his waist and a feathered felt hat on his head asked in half-baked Central Plains dialect.

Wang Muzhi replied lightly: "My Royal Highness has a lot of opportunities, why don't Sir Mack wait?" ”

The man who was called Sir Mack had a haughty demeanor and an even more arrogant tone.

"As far as I know, your king is just a rebel in the Great Xia Empire, and my Holy Franji Kingdom has concluded a treaty of friendship and trade with you with the will of the gods, and you dare to resist?"

"Also, please release the citizens of my Francois country immediately, otherwise our country's invincible fleet will be wiped out in Qiongzhou."

A Qiongzhou minister snorted coldly: "Your people, breaking into the military restricted area for no reason, and not killing them on the spot are already giving you face, what else do you want?" ”

Mike sneered: "Our conditions are very simple, open the treaty port and investigate who stole the state secrets of my Francois country. ”

The minister asked, "What secret?" ”

"Your steam turbines, and your firearms technology!" Mike said coldly.

The minister scolded directly: "Let go of your fucking stinky fart!" ”

Lan Tian, who was in charge of Qiongzhou's defense on the side, also snorted coldly: "These are all invented by my prince, it's just a matter of stealing technology, and you want to bite back, if you are presumptuous, Mike, the general's big knife will never spare you!" ”

Mike turned his head to look at Lantian: "General Lantian, I know you, the traitor general of Great Xia. Okay, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, I won't get a reply within three days, and I, Franco, will cooperate with the Great Xia Imperial Court to pacify your Qiongzhou! ”

After speaking, he glanced at the empty throne steadily, as if he had eaten everyone, and then turned away.

Some generals were so angry that they smashed the railing.

"I'm angry, Prime Minister, why don't we take this fang, general?"

Wang Muzhi said lightly: "Zheng Jing, Zhou Qianyu, let's talk about it." ”

Zheng Jing muttered: "Lord Zhou and I went to the South Seas and found that the Francois had established a colony there, although their ships were not as big as the Shenlong ships, nor were they as powerful as the ironclad ships. But their ships all had ramming horns, and their hulls were covered with iron sheets, and even their guns. ”

"It is said that the Fuso people sold it to them."

"Of course, the most important thing is that they have a lot of ships, thousands or even tens of thousands!"

"This time, it is none other than a Far Eastern Pioneer Group of the Francois Confederate States that is in conflict with us, and their ships have even reached the distant shore of the ocean, where they have established a colony."

"They enslaved the black race of the western sunset lands and sold them everywhere to grow cotton and sugar cane, and they also had the technology to extract sugar."

Zhou Qianyu muttered: "A few decades ago, they were just a small fight, but now they are extraordinary. As far as I know, it seems that the Bactrian court wanted to sell and transfer musket technology in exchange for their nautical charts and shipbuilding skills. ”

Wang Muzhi muttered: "Everyone, you have also heard, we are not only facing a huge and unknown empire, but also pressure from Great Xia. Your mood is clear, but can you really meet the Great Xia sword soldiers? ”

The ministers were dumbfounded, they subconsciously felt that they belonged to Great Xia, although Qin Yun came from afar to establish the Qin State, but they were still wearing Great Xia's court clothes.

If the question of belonging is not solved, there is even a danger of shaking the hearts of the military and people in Qiongzhou, which is why Wang Muzhi is in a hurry to invite Qin Yun back.

Wang Muzhi groaned: "Everyone, the prince has not returned, everything will wait for the prince to come back and make a decision, what we have to do is to guard Qiongzhou before this, and we must not let people destroy our homeland." ”

"Qiongzhou is something we have developed inch by inch, and it is the result of the struggle of thousands of people in Qiongzhou so far, Zhao Kun!"

"The lower official is here."

"Strengthen coastline patrols and be sure to protect the safety of military facilities such as arsenals!"

"No."

Wang Muzhi continued: "The prince is about to return, and the opening ceremony of sacrificing the heavens must also be prepared, to correct the name of my Great Qin, and to let the people of Qiongzhou know who made them live a good life." ”

"General Lan, now the fleet of the Navy Division is in Ryukyu and Yueguo, and those who stay in Qiongzhou are all recruits, so please train General Lan."

Lantian nodded: "The prince sent me to garrison Qiongzhou, how dare I slack off?" ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the time for us to work together, the ugly words are ahead, if Ben Jiang knows that someone is headed at both ends, then don't blame Ben Jiang for being unkind!"

Lantian paused, then stared at the audience, and the murderous moment appeared.

The ministers' hearts sank: "I will swear to protect Qiongzhou to the death, waiting for the return of the prince!" ”

Wang Muzhi said: "You can be here, you are naturally loyal, but the so-called family thieves are difficult to prevent, you should also admonish your relatives and family!" ”

"No!"

The ministers arched their hands.

……

Viet Nak, Blackwater Port.

The ministers of the Yue Kingdom sent each other, Yue Qing was reluctant, Qin Yun waved his hand: "This, let's go back!" Bai Zhanpeng, the military affairs here will be handed over to you. ”

Bai Zhanpeng said: "Don't worry, the prince will have no problem if there is a general." ”

Qin Yun looked at Li Daoling again, this was the result of their discussion last night.

Qin Yun returned to Qiongzhou, and it was impossible for Yue Guo not to leave a master.

Li Daoling has a good strength among the great grandmasters, and even Yang Gong is also a good match, so it should be no problem to leave him to deal with some unexpected situations.

In addition, among Qin Yun's many harems, Zhou Meiniang also chose to stay, one is to assist Yue Qing, and the other is to be responsible for sorting out and collecting intelligence on Fusang.

In addition, now that Yue Qing is reusing the Jade Girl Sect, it is not bad in terms of the overall martial arts master.

Several grandmasters of the Jade Girl Sect rushed over when they heard the news, Shangguan Yunyao was responsible for presiding over the work of the Jade Girl Sect, and Shangguan Yunxi, the original head, chose to live in seclusion in the Beiyin Mountain Range.

Before leaving, Chen Jin also went to visit, but at this moment, Shangguan Yunxi was dedicated to becoming a monk and did not ask about the world, and Chen Jin had no idea about that.

"Senior Li, please leave the matter of Yue Guo to you!"

Li Daoling didn't hold it either: "Don't worry, the prince is old, and there is no obstacle to the country." It's the prince, but don't forget the Eternal Life Day on February 2. ”

Qin Yun said with a smile: "This king will never forget. ”

Qin Yun glanced at the mountains in the north again, although he didn't stay here for a long time, he had a deep memory, countless Qiongzhou sons and daughters were buried in their hometowns, and now it was time to take them home.

The Qiongzhou 1st Division and the 2nd Qiongzhou Division had a full strength of 23,000 marines, and when they returned, they were only 156,000, which was the largest battle loss since Qin Yun commanded the army.

After all, that's a difference of several times or even ten times the number of friends and foes.

Of course, although the large army evacuated with him, some people were also left to be responsible for the training of the Vietnamese army, and I believe that it will not be long before an invincible army with an iron will can appear in the land of Dong County.

Of course, Qin Yun left with not only the soldiers of Qiongzhou, but also the fleet of the newly established Maritime Trade Division of the Yue Kingdom, which was personally led by Pei Qianbao, the head of the Pei family.

Transporting the iron ore, herbs, mountain delicacies, aquatic products, magnets, etc. of the Yue Kingdom to Qiongzhou.

Under Qin Yun's regulations, Qin and Vietnam did not need trade tariffs, and they were brothers' alliances.

Qin Yun said to Yue Qing again: "Take care! ”

Yue Qing bowed slightly: "Take care!" ”

Zhou Meiniang wiped her tears: "Take care, remember to come early to pick up the concubines." ”

Qin Yun thought of the madness with Xiao Nizi last night, and when she heard that she was going to leave her, she was extremely crazy and Yue Qing occupied Qin Yun for one night.

The cold wind blew through the Heishui Port, the Qiongzhou fleet left, and the goose feather snowflakes in the sky gradually stopped.

……

Three days later, in the waters of Qiongzhou, a fleet of thousands of sails slowly sailed in the direction of Qiongzhou, their ships were obviously different from the ships in the Great Xia area, if the size was only a medium ship, but the mast canvas was very large, the force of the wind was very strong, and each big ship had a sharp angle of iron ladle.

At this time, there were several Francos standing on the deck, the first of whom was holding a telescope and looking at the land ahead.

"Sir Mack, are these barbarians still unwilling to surrender?"

"Captain Cape Don, they're not barbarians."

"What's that?"

"It's a walking pig-mon!"

The captain laughed: "That's right, it's the pigs, gold, porcelain, tea, and silk with the treasures of boundless wealth, and we are here!" ”

"Everyone, let's toast to the great pioneering cause!"

The captain took a sip of red wine from his goblet.

But at this time, the sailor on the side said: "Report, in the direction of 60 degrees to the left chord, a suspicious ship has been discovered, and the other party is heading towards us at high speed against the wind!" ”

The captain chuckled: "Headwind? ”

He raised the binoculars, but he saw the most unforgettable scene in his life, but it was not over, and suddenly the voice of the Central Plains official dialect came from the top of his head.

"The front fleet, you have already broken into my Daqin sea area, leave quickly, otherwise you will bear the consequences!"

The captain looked up at the Flying Eagle gliding in the sky.

"What did he say?"

Mike frowned, "He probably wants to talk to us!" ”

The captain smiled: "Interesting, is this the trick of Great Xia?" Sure enough, it is the mysterious Eastern Empire. ”
