The spacious hall was brightly lit, and an exotic beautiful girl was dressed in a tight-fitting light-colored coarse cloth shirt and trousers, with a colored scarf tied around her neck, a bow obliquely under her left ear, and her long golden curly hair flowing, practicing Western swordsmanship. Tian Xiao didn't bother, just crossed his hands on his chest and leaned on the column, admiring the exotic swordsmanship to his heart's content. I don't know if this beautiful girl was engrossed in not finding any guests, or if no one in her eyes deliberately wanted to snub the future emperor of Longqingguo, she took the move and threw the Western sword in her hand very freely, and the hilt of the sword happened to hang on the iron hook on the right wall. Tianxiao was just about to go up to say hello, but she didn't want her to suddenly pull out the pistol, so she immediately put the holster back on, then pulled it out again, and put it back again.

At this time, Tianxiao found that she had a loose belt tied around her waist, which was diagonal, the left side was on her waist, and the right side was attached to her thigh. In this way, she pulled out her gun and put it in a free and easy posture, and after playing back and forth hundreds of times, she turned sideways and said, "If I think it is right, you are His Royal Highness the Little Prince." By the way, why don't you greet me, you'd rather wait. When I heard that Di Xi could actually speak Chinese, she really made Tianxiao happy, and hurriedly said: "Little princess, I was afraid of disturbing your practice of sword and spear, so I didn't dare to greet you." Then he took her hand and said, "Let's go, let's go downstairs to eat first." After dinner, I will take you to the dragon ship. ”

On the morning of the next day, the Longqing people went to the streets in groups, and all the exotic foreign goods were fresh in their eyes, and they did not know what to bargain with, and there was no general matter to translate on the side.

And at this time. Zhong Lei was accompanying the Governor of Macau and William to select treasures in the warehouse of the dragon ship. This place is full of treasures, so that the eyes of the two foreigners are dazzled, and they like everything they see. Until the evening, the two of them didn't think about what to take, and their heads were really big. Zhong Lei was helpless, so he asked the general to tell them, saying that they were allowed to leave with twenty playthings each, whatever they wanted, as long as they were happy. I heard that I gave myself twenty pieces of ancient porcelain, or Tang Sancai. or bronze. The Governor of Macau really thought he was daydreaming. Otherwise, why would this mouth have eaten the trap cake that fell from the sky, so I asked William. "The chief steward isn't joking, is he, really giving me so many treasures for nothing?" William nodded, "I said it earlier." They, the yellow race, are just hospitable. If you feel embarrassed to take so many treasures for nothing. Then send more artillery shells to the Grand Chief. I've thought about it. This time I'll go back and get 10,000 shells for him. When the Governor of Macao heard this, he laughed and said, "Then I will send him more shells." ”

After a few days of eating and merrymaking, the huge Longqing sailor was in the Governor of Macau. William, accompanied by more than 100 Portuguese merchants and their families, reluctantly left the port of Macao, boarded the dragon and phoenix ship, and the huge warship group passed through the strait between Qiongzhou and Leizhou.

A huge group of warships docked at the dock of Lianzhou Mansion. Lei Long, Jiao Yi, Feng Li, Yan Zheng, and Yue Junshi, who had been waiting for several days, greeted Emperor Longqing and the chief manager with hundreds of civil and military officials from the twenty-first city in official uniforms. The whole Lianzhou city has already been lit up, the colorful lions jump, the long dragon dances, the people of Longqing stand on the street to see each other, it is very lively. After a burst of cannon fire on the warship, the first to land were Luo Huo, a loyal general wearing a golden helmet and golden armor, and Tang Jianxi, a general wearing a silver helmet and silver armor, led their horses off the ship and jumped on their horses to form a second team, riding their horses slowly to clear the road in front. Zhu Tianxiao, who was only thirteen years old, was dressed in a yellow dragon robe, wearing a purple and gold crown on his head, riding on a tall white horse, holding the reins in his left hand, and waving his right hand at the civil and military officials and the people of Longqing on both sides of the street, smiling and very weatherful. Zhong Lei, Wang Bao, Zhao Hu, and Shi Guo rode horses to accompany them, followed by Xuemei, Peony, and Dixi, an exotic girl with blue eyes and curly hair, who were protected by the four brothers and sisters of the Fei family and Li Fei. Bai Zizong took Dongye Suo, Zhao Wei, Zhao Meng, Zhao Hai, Zhao Chong, Zhao Cai, Qin Jinfeng, and Li Mo followed. The Governor of Macao, William, and more than 100 Portuguese merchants and their families dragged them to the end, and were caught by Lei Long, Jiao Yi and other civil and military officials. In the cheers, the people of Longqing saw not only their youthful Emperor Longqing, but also the Portuguese guests with blue eyes and yellow curly hair.

After walking around the main street of Lianzhou City, he arrived at the palace, Tianxiao ascended the throne in the hall, sat on the temporary dragon chair and began to preside over the government affairs of Longqing. After the civil and military officials performed the courtesy of the monarch and the ministers, and shouted "long live" three times, the land of Longqing heard the emperor's words "all love the Qing Ping" for the first time in his life, so that this group of ministers of the court and the central government understood that they finally had a country, and they also became the heroes of Longqing.

"Zhong Aiqing. "Although the little emperor is not very old, he has also learned a lot of ways to govern the country by caring for his courtiers and sympathizing with the people from Zhong Lei, Jiao Yi, and Shi Guo. He also knew that Longqing Elementary School, Twenty-one Cities is really a projectile, and it is in urgent need of strength, and it is also a waste to be revived, and the hearts of the people are stabilized. First of all, he named Zhong Lei as the regent of Longqing, Bai Jiao Yi as the prime minister, Shi Guo as the military advisor, Lei Long as the governor of Longqing's soldiers and horses; Feng Li as the Duke of Dingguo, Bai Zizong as the Duke of the Protector of the Country, Shen Zhongzhu as the King of Qi Shoulder, Yan Zheng as the King of Pingxi, Luo Huo and Yang Biao as the loyal generals, Lei Tianba, Guan Ziqing, Feng Guang, Shi Xiongmin, Wei Meng, and Daliqi as the brave generals; Yue Junshi as the Great Sima; then Feng Yingchun, Yu'er as the virtuous lady of Longqing; later named Mrs. Lei, Mrs. Jiao, Mrs. Shen, and Mrs. Qu as the virtuous lady of Longqing; gave Peony and Xuemei as the princess of Longqing; Shen Zhongyue, Nasha, Zhao Dan, Shi Lan, and Shi Ying as the lords of Longqing; and posthumously named Feng Guo, Zhao Zhong is a loyal general, and Wei is the wife of Longqing Zhongyi. Other civil and military officials were also rewarded, and it can be said that everyone was happy.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have their own music. Zhong Lei took the lead in everything, and Tianxiao said: "Uncle Zhong, what are you playing? Zhong Lei said: "Your Majesty, compared to Pukou, there are many twenty-one cities in Lianzhou. But compared with the territory of the Ming Dynasty, this is really a small land, and it is difficult to gain a foothold. If you want Longqing to be permanent, from the perspective of the ministers, you have to occupy Dali, Heqing, Yongning, Huichuan, Wumeng, Xuzhou, Banzhou, Bijie, Leizhou, Qiongzhou and other cities, so that my lord Fang An can compete with Emperor Shenzong. The generals were very excited when they heard this, and their words were very passionate. Yan Zheng said: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to lead 30 generals and 50,000 soldiers and horses to capture the city that the regent just said, and expand the territory for me Longqing." Bai Zizong said: "Your Majesty, there are more than 70,000 sailors in Longqing. There were more than 500 warships, large and small. In order to protect my Longqing foundation for thousands of generations, the minister dreamed of taking Leizhou, Qiongzhou, Beibu Gulf, Wanli Shitang, Penghuyu, Dongfan for the emperor, and cut off the shipping of the Ming Dynasty. Feng Li said: "Your Majesty, Mu Bang, Barbarian Mo." Meng Yang. The four cities of Mengmi were originally the territory of our Celestial Empire, and now they are annexed by Burma, and the ministers think that Longqing should also be recovered. Shen Zhongzhu said, "Your Majesty." Longqing Xinli. Defending the territory and protecting the frontier should be the most important priority. I thought. Troops should be deployed in the border cities first, and fortifications should be set up in important places to prevent the Ming army from attacking. And this siege is different from the past. Longqing must win, otherwise he will be frustrated, and Dashu will inevitably take the opportunity to fight back, then I Longqing will also be in danger. Tianxiao asked again: "Then with Shen Aiqing's intentions, what should be done to both defend the territory and expand the territory?" Shen Zhongzhu said: "Your Majesty, you can take three steps at the same time." You can use 60,000 infantry to defend the border cities, with 20,000 archers to assist, and then set up artillery and earth cannons on the city to resist the enemy. However, in order to be able to respond and provide timely reinforcements, the Huxiao battalion, the women's battalion, and the Mulan army each led 5,000 infantry troops to set up a large village in a dangerous place, which should be able to protect all the cities in our frontier. The sailors can quickly capture the two capitals of Leizhou and Qiongzhou, and send heavy troops to garrison them, so that they can retreat and shelter in case of the Ming Dynasty's soldiers coming to war. Only after capturing Leizhou and Qiongzhou can Longqing go to conquer other places. There were 30,000 horsemen, 10,000 shieldmen, 30,000 infantry troops, 5,000 iron cavalry, and 180 Western artillery pieces to expand the territory. However, we must prepare enough food and grass to be able to breathe full of energy and have no worries. Your Majesty, only in this way can you not only defend the territory but also expand the territory. Tianxiao nodded in response, asked the ministers to go back to prepare, and then retreated.

Thinking that Longqing wanted to establish a state, it was necessary to develop trade exchanges with neighboring countries, especially with Portugal. Tianxiao was escorted by the Fei family brothers and sisters and Li Fei, and took the general and the Portuguese girl Dixi, accompanied by the Governor of Macau, William, and Portuguese merchants and their families to visit Lianzhou, in order to fulfill the landlord's hospitality.

In order to ensure that Baolongqing was foolproof, six generals, 8,000 infantry troops, 4,000 archers, and 30 earthen cannons were stationed in each of the seven border cities. Shen Zhongyue's 5,000 fierce cavalry tiger battalion, Nasha's 5,000 light cavalry female battalion, Zhao Dan's 3,000 light cavalry battalion, Shi Lan and Shi Ying's 2,000 Shijia army, and Guan Kui's 6,000 Mulan army each led five deputy generals, with 5,000 infantry troops and 3,000 shield bearers, and set up a big village at each of the seven border cities to resist the Ming army.

When Feng Li dispatched troops, guarded the border passes, prepared grain and grass, and prepared for the second expansion of Longqing, Bai Zizong had left the ironclad dragon ship and more than 300 large and small warships, and Dongye Suo, Qin Jinfeng, and Li Mo took 20,000 sailors to stay in Lianzhou to protect the emperor and the families of important ministers, and he sat in charge of the large main battle command ship, personally led Zhao Wei, Zhao Meng, Zhao Hai, Zhao Chong, and Zhao Cai, and personally led Zhao Wei, Zhao Meng, Zhao Hai, Zhao Chong, and Zhao Cai, with 40,000 sailors, 50 Portuguese warships, 80 flat-bottomed warships, and 60 brigs。 Then, after more than a year of campaigning, the Longqing Navy Division successively captured Leizhou Mansion, Qiongzhou Mansion, more than a dozen islands in the Beibu Gulf, Wanli Stone Pond, Shixing Stone Pond, Wanli Changsha, South China Sea Islands, Penghu Island, Bazhong Mountain, Taiping Mountain, Junyu Island, Chiwei Island, Gumi Mountain, and all the islands in the sea area of Dadao. Then 30,000 sailors were stationed in Penghuyu to raise grain and grass, train soldiers and horses, and prepare for the attack on the big island of Dongfan at the right time.

Coming back to say that Feng Li has a large number of generals, more than half of the horse army, the elite infantry army, 5,000 iron cavalry are brave and good at fighting, and the Western artillery is unstoppable. Take Heqing, Yongning, Zhanhuichuan, Wumeng, seize Xuzhou, Banzhou, Bijie, invincible along the way, like a bamboo, recruit more than 24,000 soldiers and horses. In the end, the heavy troops surrounded Dali, but because the guards were loyal and brave, the soldiers were strong, and the people could not attack for a long time when they participated in the war, and three generals were killed, and thousands of soldiers and horses were broken. Yan Zheng was furious when he heard the report, and Yang Biao, Feng Guang, Lei Tianba, Guan Ziqing, and Shi Xiongmin led 5,000 soldiers and horses and the Shijia shield army to attack to the death, and fought until seven days. Seeing that he was about to capture Dali, unexpectedly, 70,000 reinforcements from Chengdu Mansion suddenly arrived, and the main general Wang Kan was very brave, with a momentum like Guan Yu Guan Yunchang, and he killed the exhausted Guan Ziqing with a knife. Immediately, With only three rounds, the big knife is clumsy and noisy, and the banana wei = young malaria, narrow, narrow, dead, nourishing, Yu Hu, Fly, magnesium, and blowing, sloping, stirring taxes, and Testicles, so Qiao, lame, sloppy, and bad, and the team of the team of the Bad Dun, and the team of the ∏ of Yang Sou and the Stretch of the J value, the value of the Phantom Rui, Υ Ye Piene with the mushroom and the Zhu Sacrum 7, the paradox, the danger, the Brother Huang Huang Mu ∈∏Zi Yu

Hearing that the Shi family brothers were dead, and seeing that Lei Tianba's injuries were too serious, he was afraid of his life, so Yan Zheng took advantage of the Ming army's unstable foothold in the siege of the city, and Shi Xiongmin and his wife took more than 100 personal soldiers and a thousand horse troops to escort the sedan chair from the south gate to rush out of the south gate, send Lei Tianba back to Huichuan to heal his injuries, and then carry the army and grain and grass. He and Feng Guang could only lead more than 7,000 remnants of the defeated army to guard the four gates, eating and sleeping on the city wall. They had to defend Yue Qing and wait for rescue.

On the night of Huichuan, Lei Tianba was seriously injured and died, Feng Li was furious when he heard the news, and sent Shen Zhongzhu, Hu Yanxue, Qin Yin, Lei Tianbao, Luo Huo, and Tuba to lead 30,000 troops to save Yue Qing. (To be continued......)
