A trip starting from the courtyard

Chapter 248 Sulu
"What time is it?"

Wanli hurriedly turned his head to look at the desk clock by the wall, this thing has become popular in Daming now, as long as it is worth a little, everyone will buy one at home.

It can tell the time and can also be used as a decoration.

"Grandpa Huihuang, it's already eight o'clock in the evening."

"Oh, cough, cough, it's getting late, Jun'er should take a rest and go."

Wanli was not willing to leave, and insisted on waiting for Jiajing to fall asleep before leaving.

He had already asked the imperial doctor privately that his grandfather would not survive for a few days.

Jilong Mountain

Accompanied by the sound of a resonant salute, the main line of the Jilongshan Railway, which was built for five years, was finally opened to traffic on May 1578, 5.

This round-the-island railway was appraised as the Miracle Road by the Royal TV Station of the Four Seas.

It is the world's first railway with a total length of more than [-] kilometers.

After completion, it has inserted a pair of powerful wings for the economic development of Jilongshan.

The total length of the railway is 1350 kilometers, and the design speed is 60 kilometers per hour, which means that Jilongshan has become a 24-hour city circle.

More than 200 years later, a descendant of the Japanese broke the news on the Internet, claiming that there was a Japanese corpse under each sleeper on the Jilongshan Ring Railway. During the five years of construction of the railway, more than 6 Japanese died of exhaustion.

This news immediately sparked heated discussions around the world.But the final conclusion is that the content of this news is fake, and the person who posted it is purely alarmist and defrauding attention.

After all, according to the official information of the Four Seas, a total of less than [-] Japanese were hired to participate in the construction during the five-year period.

The opening ceremony was won by Wang Lidong and his 16-year-old eldest son Lin Jinhu.

From the beginning of this year, he began to selectively bring his eldest son to participate in some meetings, and let him hang an official title in Dongying Chief Envoy: Right Counselor, from the fourth rank.

Next, Wang Lidong took his son and spent a week carefully inspecting several key areas of Jilong Mountain.

On the way back to Rongcheng, he said to his eldest son:

"I'll give you one month to be the chief envoy of Jilongshan, and the development plan for the next five years will be drawn up."

Lin Jinhu, who was thinking about how to show off in front of his younger siblings when he got home, suddenly heard the sad news, and immediately said with a bitter face:

"Father, how can I do such a difficult task well."

Wang Lidong was unmoved and said:

"You haven't done it yet, how do you know you can't do it well? In the past six months, you have participated in many high-level meetings of the group, and you know the general situation of Jilongshan."

Rongcheng Prefect Yamen
On May 1578, 5, Emperor Jiajing died.

On the same day, Wang Lidong learned of the news through a telegram.

Sighed in my heart, my only VIP customer
On the third day, he received news from the capital again that he was impeached by the imperial censor, and Wanli had decreed to dismiss Wang Lidong's prefect.

He knew that this day would come sooner or later, but he didn't expect the cabinet to be so impatient.

Wanli is only 16 years old this year, and has not yet reached the age of taking office, so Jiajing specially appointed three elders, Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Siwei and Shen Shixing, as auxiliary ministers.

As for the former chief assistant of the cabinet, Xu Jie and Lan Daoxing, the blue god, they had already been ordered by Jiajing to copy and kill the nine clans, and they were charged with regicide.

Regarding Wang Lidong, an outlier in the officialdom, when Jiajing was there, the civil servants had nothing to do, but now they have the final say, so don't rush to attack him.

After Wanli knew about this, he didn't raise any objection.

Even though Jiajing specifically told him to pay attention to Priest Baihe before his death, Wang Lidong, the magistrate, must not move.

But he thinks that the elder fairy that his grandfather talked about is actually a liar like Lan Daoxing.

Ghost elixir.

He asked the imperial doctor about the cause of Jiajing's death, and it was because of taking too many drugs.

For this reason, Wanli didn't take Jiajing's advice to heart at all.

When Wang Lidong saw Liang Fa come in, he cupped his hands:
"Three brothers."

Liang Fa quickly returned a salute:

"My lord, you call me that, I always feel a chill behind my back."

Wang Lidong laughed and said:
"You are Lingshan's third senior brother, so the seniority cannot be messed up."

After the ten-year period expired, none of the original four senior brothers wanted to return to Mount Hua, so they applied to Yue Buqun.

These years, although Wang Lidong didn't spend much time guiding the four of them, for Yue Lingshan's sake, as long as a few people find him, he will seriously give advice.

This allowed the four of them to avoid many detours.

To be accepted by Yue Buqun, he must have good talent in martial arts. In the past, he lacked a good teacher to teach students according to their aptitude.

Now Liang Fa is already a first-class top-level master, and after two or three years of accumulation, he will be able to enter the super-first-class rank.

After seeing the great progress of the four apprentices, Yue Buqun also had the cheek to ask for advice in the fifth year.

Wang Lidong did not disappoint him, and pointed out several problems in his cultivation.

This made Yue Buqun, who was struggling to find the way forward, suddenly feel that his cultivation speed has more than doubled.

"My lord, if you have something to do, just order it."

The task Wang Lidong released was very simple, let him pretend to be a Japanese pirate, and then rob the new prefect of Rongcheng.

Those who are sensible, pay the ransom, and get lost wherever it came from.If you don't know each other, huh, huh.

After tossing a few times, no official would dare to take this hot potato.

Although everyone knew it well, it was definitely Wang Lidong who did it.

But he would never admit it.

Catch the thief and catch the dirty, catch the traitor and catch the pair.

If he had just descended the mountain, he wouldn't even dare to agree to killing Liang Fa.

"Please rest assured, my lord, this matter is on me."

Four Seas Group War Room

Wang Lidong glanced at the people in the meeting room, and found that compared with ten years ago, there were a few more newcomers.

And his eldest son is also serious, sitting at the end of the conference table.

"For ten years, we haven't made any major moves, and everyone knows the reason.

Recently, I have received many invitations from veterans, hoping to go to the battlefield before they leave the army.

And after so many years, it's time to make a move, so as not to let others misunderstand that we have become vegetarians. "

Hearing Wang Lidong's words, the meeting room immediately boiled.

It was time to make a fortune, and several people couldn't help but swallowed twice.

Compared with ten years ago, the current four navies can be described as reborn.

Today, the weapons and equipment of the four navies have almost reached the level of Er Dezi during World War II.

There is also a lack of air power.

The plane has actually been developed, but Wang Lidong felt that the murderous plan was useless.

"Minister Yu, tell us about our goals and battle plan this time."

Minister of the Navy Yu Zihu stood in front of the stage excitedly, then picked up the baton, pointed at the corner of the map of Asia, and circled a place in Southeast Asia.

"This time the goal"

In 1571, Franji invaded the Sulu (now Philippine) area and began a colonial rule that lasted for more than 300 years.

In the past seven years, the business of the group's subsidiaries in the Sulu area has gone from bad to worse.

The reason is that Francois is playing tricks.

Being treated unfairly, the External Relations Department of Sihai Group also communicated with the other party several times.

But he's very pushy, with his nostrils upturned.

On July 1578, 7, Qu Wenbin, Vice Minister of the Navy, led the first and second fleets of the four navies, a total of 25 warships, to launch an attack on the naval base of Frangji stationed in Sulu.

The 460-caliber naval guns of the three capital ships fired three rounds in salvo, and the opponent raised a white flag.

In less than half a day, the four navies captured the Subic Bay Naval Base, sank and captured 300 Frangji warships, and captured more than [-] Frangji warships.

On July 1578, 7, the entire island of Luzon was captured.

On August 1578, 8, the Vice-Minister of the Navy sent back a telegram that the main military operation had ended and the four navies had controlled the entire territory of Sulu.
