1825 My New Daming

Chapter 97 Daoguang printing, let's fight here! (Crazy pursuit of reading)
Beijing City, Prince Wu's Mansion.

In the study of Mr. Zhuge Weijiu, a group of "Zhuge Liang" with feather fan and scarf are gathering together to hold a "Plenary Meeting of Zhuge Liang in Beijing" to discuss "gambling the world" with the British Empire.

A group of "Zhuge Liang" had a copy of the telegram in their hands, and they were all looking at it carefully, while counting their fingers habitually—it must be counted!
It seems that the British Empire did not play their cards according to their previous clever calculations!

In fact, before Zhuge Weidao proposed to contend for hegemony with the British Empire and "archway (light) printing", this group of "Zhuge Liang" was already there pinching their fingers and planning to compete with the British Empire for hegemony.

Although they are a bit timid and unwilling to take a big gamble with Daying, they also know that with the advancement of technology, a world dominated by superpowers will inevitably emerge.Although failure in the struggle for hegemony will inevitably face dire consequences, once Daming reaches the top, the Ming Dynasty and the Zhuge family will be able to stabilize for many years.

Because the world overlord can transfer the domestic crisis to the outside world, the country of the overlord is the most stable!

And they don't need to read the "Book of Heaven" to know that with Daming's current size, if he doesn't seek hegemony, sooner or later he will become a thorn in the side of other world overlords, so Daming has no choice but to seek hegemony!

Just for these two points, this group of "Zhuge Liang" must let Daming reach the top!
But their plan was not to crown Daoguang, but to challenge Daoguang to challenge the British Empire—they didn't even think that Emperor Daoguang had the courage and strength to challenge the British Empire.What's more, I didn't expect that the seemingly powerful East India Company was actually captured by two hundred or so "naval paratroopers" fortress Peshawar, and there are tens of thousands of people trapped in Afghanistan who don't know if they can come out?
The British Empire doesn't look like a big deal!
Of course, these "Zhuge Liang" will not give up the established plan of "Gong Luocha Fighting Yingyi" just because Zhuge Weidao successfully pushed Daoguang to print-these two plans are not in conflict.If Yingyi made the Kingdom of Jin look ashamed in India, then there is a great possibility that the Raksha Kingdom will take action to compete with Great Britain for Western hegemony!
And as soon as Luo Sha made a move, Da Ming would be able to secure victory in the struggle with Daying!
But early this morning, the French King Louis XVII, who called Zhuge Wei "Yafu" for a long time, sent a telegram, informing "Zhuge Yafu" that the British Empire planned to use his site to hold an "International Naval Arms Control Conference" ——This is to internationalize the naval arms race!
In addition, Louis XVII also told him "Dear Yafu" three major events.

One is that the British Empire is determined to regain Peshawar, and will expel the Kingdom of Jin from Afghanistan at all costs, and may even take advantage of the trend to invade Central Asia, forcing Dajin to sign a peace treaty that humiliates the country.

The second is that the British Empire will send a huge ocean-going fleet to bypass the South China Seas controlled by Ming Dynasty, and take the route between the East Indies and Australia to Japan to show that the British Empire Navy can supply Japan during wartime!

The above two actions will be advanced simultaneously with the Naval Arms Conference.

And the third major event is that the Queen Mother of France, Marie Antoinette, misses "Zhuge Yafu" very much.
That is to say, the British Empire has increased the stakes and put on a stance of fighting at all costs, and has also attracted a large group of Eastern and Western powers to form a team to oppose Ming's "One Thousand Ships Plan".

"Great military division!" The first one who "calculated" was Zhuge Weiyong, the "black Zhuge" who had just been promoted to the chief of staff of the navy. Our restraint on the Japan issue creates the illusion that the British Empire is sure of victory, and then uses this illusion to pull all countries in the world into their bandits, and unite the forces of all countries to force us to make concessions at the arms conference!"

Zhuge Weiyi, a shipbuilding strategist and admiral of the Ministry of the Navy, followed Zhuge Weiyong's words and said, "It's nothing to make concessions at the arms conference. For a discount, changing it to the "Five Hundred Ships Project" or "Three Hundred Ships Project" is enough for the British to drink a pot. However, it is a bit provocative for the British to send a fleet around Japan! This is a military exercise! !"

Zhuge Weiyong snorted: "After they arrive in Japan, they will definitely have to engage in other exercises to provoke. It is impossible for us to go to war with the UK for this matter. The idiots in Japan thought we were afraid of the UK. Japan I'm afraid the situation in the country will become even more unstable! Grand Master, we have to find a way to stabilize the pro-Ming faction in Japan!"

"Yang Ming, what do you think?" Zhuge Weijiu glanced at Zhuge Yangming of the "Yang" generation, that is, the "Shanghai Navy Division". Called for a meeting for a long time.

"Great strategist," Zhuge Yangming said with a smile, "if the British can't win in Afghanistan and take away Japan, then the naval peace conference held in France will be more beneficial to us."

Zhuge Weijiu laughed: "Doesn't that mean you didn't say anything? The old man is asking if there is any way you can stabilize Japan?"

Zhuge Yangming smiled and said, "Master, in fact, the two tasks of defending Peshawar and stabilizing Japan can fall on Uncle [-]!"

"One hundred and eight." Zhuge Weijiu pinched his fingers and calculated, "That's right, as long as Peshawar can hold on, then the printing of Gong Daoguang will be considered a success, and he will be able to officially become a member of the Army Division Already!"

"Yes," Zhuge Yangming said, "A 26-year-old military adviser takes the daughter of the Dahei family as his concubine. That is a grand event for the pro-Ming faction in Japan. It is enough to offset the impact of the British fleet's visit to Japan."

Zhuge Weijiu counted his fingers again, then nodded, "Okay, what to do. Send a telegram to [-], telling him to guard Peshawar!"

"Yes!"

Amu Darya camp, airship field.

When the sky is getting brighter, the sound of drums and music will be loud, and the north wind will also blow.Amidst the sound of drums and wind, the orderly Daikin Navy paratroopers were silently boarding the boat.The fairies of the Nalan family's Yingxian Temple were waving the Eight Banners in the distance, and they were shouting pleasantly.

The north wind was not weak, and the airships that were a little bit floating were shaking in bursts.The airship already loaded with airborne troops has risen into the air and is circling over the airship field, waiting for the rest of the airships to fly up and form a team with them.

This is the sixth batch of naval airborne troops to reinforce Peshawar. According to the plan, they will take [-] airships ([-] more) and be airlifted to Peshawar city to participate in the upcoming Peshawar defense battle.

On the airship landing pad, a "yellow jacket" and an officer wearing the blue coat of the Ming Navy were strolling. They passed by the airships that were about to take off, and all the officers and soldiers saluted them.Of these two, one is Zhuge Weidao, the general counsel of the Daikin Navy Department.And the other is Guan Tianpei, director of the Operations Department of the Ministry of the Navy of the Ming Dynasty.

The two walked in the wind, and the increasingly strong cold wind blew on their faces, and the brows of the two gradually knit together.

"Daozi, you are in the navy, are you really going to Peshawar? I heard that Major General Hugh Gough, the commander-in-chief of the East India Company Army, has arrived at the front line and is ready to fight! This time the soldiers are in danger! If the blow gets bigger, the airship will probably be grounded after one round of flying. In my opinion, it is enough for Mu Zhongjun and Zheng Guoxian from the army to go to Peshawar."

"Officer Guan, the military division has given me a death order. Peshawar must be guarded! How can I not go? Besides, although I am a navy, the airship airborne and gossip machine gun array are all my ideas. If I don't go, Don't you have confidence in my ideas?"

Hearing what Zhuge Weidao said, Guan Tianpei suddenly thought of something, looked at Zhuge Weidao, and asked in a low voice: "By the way, you. Have you passed the military division test?"

Zhuge Weidao smiled lightly, he was noncommittal, he just cupped his hands at Guan Tianpei and said, "Mr. Guan, it's almost time, and it's time for me to get on the boat, let's just leave now!"

Guan Tianpei seemed to have understood something, looked at Zhuge Weidao, and finally lowered his voice and laughed: "Okay, your Zhuge family has finally produced a young and promising military advisor!"
