Iron Age

The matter in the South China Sea was handed over to the Second General of Black and White. Liu Ziguang and Zhao Wen returned to New Bianjing on the Black Swan. Zhao Wen, the supervisor of the state, led all the civil and military officials to the pier to welcome them. The news of Victoria's victory has spread throughout the streets and alleys of Song Dynasty, and the people are all rejoicing and elated

The shares of China Merchants are [-]/[-] between the Song and Ming Dynasties. Unlike the Ming Dynasty, the shares of Lvsong are publicly traded on the exchange, and any common people can buy them. Although the national army put on vests in this war I went to the battle in person, but the agent was China Merchants after all. It occupied the Straits of Malacca, Badawi Port and even the country of Java, which indicated that the profits of China Merchants would snowball. The stock market has risen as a whole, and all the people have shared the dividends of war. How can they not love Her Majesty the Queen and the Lord Protector who brought them wealth?

Zhao Jing was very pleased with Liu Ziguang brazenly mobilizing troops against the Westerners. She thought that the hero she had created by herself had finally become a sharp weapon in her hands. Those telegrams for help obeyed their advice, they asked for ships for ships, and soldiers for soldiers.

The New Year is approaching, and Liu Ziguang is eager to return home, but he still can't get away from the Song Dynasty, because in the New Year, there will be a Zen throne ceremony, and then the new emperor's enthronement and Yuan change. These major events must be attended by him, the protector of the country, there is no way I had no choice but to write a few letters home and purchased a lot of local specialties. Together with Cheng Liangjue and Chen Ziang, two fugitives, they were transported back to the country by fast boat. The achievements of Nanchang, the new year is coming, everyone should be happy

The time is already at the end of the twelfth lunar month, and it is the end of the new year. It must be the coldest winter in the Central Plains at this time, but it is still hot as summer in the Song Dynasty. Preparing for big fish and meat for the festival, Liu Ziguang hangs around the stock exchange in Xinbianjing in his free time. His keen mind realizes that this is a good way to promote economic development and make good use of funds. The stock exchange in Daming should also be opened as soon as possible. , what he has to do now is to learn various trading rules. Liu Ziguang can be regarded as an old stock investor. He has experienced the 2007.5.30. , He still has some say in this matter, he has figured out the various rules of ancient stock trading through the Ministry of Households in the Song Dynasty, and put forward some small suggestions for improvement, which made the officials of the Ministry of Households admire the Duke Huguo even more

Good news came from Java one after another. The East India Company had been forced to accept all the conditions and compensate China Merchants for military expenditures of 500 million Dutch guilders. Dutch guilders are a relatively light European silver coin. This batch of compensation is converted into In terms of silver, it is about 800 million taels. I think it was only 650 million Dutch guilders when the East India Company offered shares. Now the amount of compensation has exceeded the company’s ability to pay, even if all the cash, goods, and debts are used to pay off debts. , but Mr. Anthony is more kind, and has accepted all the fixed assets of the Dutch at a discount. The Dutch are known as sea coachmen. There are hundreds of cargo ships in Badawi Port alone, as well as castles, shops, manors, and crops. The sum of these miscellaneous things can barely make up 700 million taels. Mr. An was merciful and forgave the rest of the Dutch indemnity. He also allowed them to bring their clothes and take a boat back home. Of course, the boat was also donated by Mr. An

This is tantamount to plundering the Dutch. The news of the bankruptcy of the East India Company must have spread back to Europe. Half of the people in the Netherlands will go bankrupt. The Javanese royal family did not get a good end. Some people, relying on their familiarity with the terrain, tried to sneak into the jungle to fight guerrillas, but they were caught out of the rainforest by the Chinese and black joint forces like catching mice. They played jungle warfare. Both the Chinese and the blacks were better than these indigenous monkeys. Well, where is it their turn to make trouble? Under the coercion of the powerful military force, the King of Java signed a treaty with China Merchants, ceding Badawi and its surrounding fifty-mile area to China Merchants as a base, and other places must also be opened. China Merchants has Judicial power, all cases involving Chinese and black people will be heard by the Judgment Division under the China Merchants Bureau and the King of Java has no choice but to sign this humiliating treaty

The news from Duncan was much more dull. During this period of time, there were very few Western ships going to the Strait of Malacca, so their prey was hard to find. No wonder, the British had already retreated, and the Dutch also sent a clipper to report the imminent war with them. The news that the Han people are going to war, I am afraid that Europe is preparing for war at this moment, so how can they send merchant ships without knowing their lives?

The British and the Dutch were robbed, Temasek and Badawi were obtained, and huge wealth was harvested, but it also brought negative effects. The merchant ships from the West disappeared, and the domestically produced cloth and silk industrial products could not be sold, which was also bad for the economy. This kind of drag, I think when the war started, I didn’t think so long-term, but Liu Ziguang has a way. Instead of earning money from Xiniu and Hezhou people, we can earn other people’s money. He telegraphed the Duncan Navy based in Temasek, let He went north along the Strait of Malacca, took gunboats and merchant ships, and opened up a trade route to Tianzhu

The imperial court’s imperial edict to confer the titles of King Temasek, Alabama, and King Margobi, Angaro, has been issued, with an imperial decree attached, asking Liu Ziguang to be an imperial envoy to confer these two little vassal kings on Zhu Youxiao’s behalf. After receiving the notice, Fei Ma rushed to Xinbianjing, accepted the canonization of the imperial envoy Liu Ziguang, and took the imperial edict with the jade seal of the Ming emperor.

Alabama immediately stated that he would not go back to Temasek, and would follow Liu Ziguang to study in Nanjing Guozijian. He also said that this was his lifelong dream. Margobi did not have such a lofty pursuit. What he wanted was to restore the mountains and rivers of his homeland. Liu Ziguang advised him not to be impatient. Now that Sumatra is looking for a place to settle down, Ma Gebi has no choice but to agree to the restoration of the country.

***************************************************** *************************************************************************************************************************************************************** Roll the gunpowder into a small tube with paper, seal the bottom with yellow mud, and lead out twisters on it. A little bit can explode but not hurt people. This kind of small thing is called a firecracker. Many firecrackers are connected together to make firecrackers. Putting a string of firecrackers on New Year’s Eve can ward off evil spirits. Liu Ziguang's little invention for eliminating disasters was deeply loved by Zhao Wen, and ordered the arsenal to produce firecrackers with all their strength, and they would release them during the Chinese New Year. Seeing that she liked the excitement so much, Liu Ziguang simply mentioned the formula of the fireworks. Anyway, the Lusong Military Factory had enough raw materials. Craftsmen are exquisite, there is nothing they can't make

With the help of firecrackers and fireworks, Liu Ziguang finally felt that this year was a little bit of a new year. In the days before New Year’s Eve, the streets and alleys of Xinbianjing were filled with the sound of firecrackers. , after discussion by the Ministry of Rites, it was decided to overturn the previous decision, and no longer confer the title of Princess Zhao Wen, the abdicated queen, but to be promoted to Empress Supreme, and her child will become the crown prince. The couple's seizure of Temasek Badawi is directly related to Zhao Jing's efforts. Liu Ziguang understands that this is Zhao Jing's desire to tie herself firmly to her chariot of unifying the world. Push this good thing to yourself, and no matter how polite you are, you will be offended, so Liu Ziguang didn't express any opinions, but he was very puzzled that the old scholars in the Ministry of Rites would agree to let Liu Ziguang's flesh and blood be the crown prince of the Song Dynasty. He lived in tropical areas for a long time, and traditional Can ideas be lost?But he didn't understand that the imperial power in the Song Dynasty has actually become a symbol. After so many years of wandering overseas, the people of this country no longer pay attention to the name of the emperor. As long as they are Han people, they can accept it.

The Zen Ceremony is held on the first day of the new year. There is a large altar in Bianjing, which is filled with flowers, grains and three animals. Everyone wears formal dresses to participate in the ceremony. Although the clothes of the people of the Song Dynasty are the same as those of the Ming Dynasty, they are the clothes of the Han family. , but there is a time difference after all. The dress for offering sacrifices to heaven is a style left over from the Southern Song Dynasty, and it has not changed at all. I don't have a camera in my hand, so I can record this historical scene

The ceremony was boring and boring, and it lasted from early morning to two o'clock in the afternoon. After the ceremony, a strong lesbian like Zhao Wen was helped down by the maids. It took too long, she entered the bedroom, fell down on the concubine Xiang's couch, and let the maid help her undress and take off her shoes. Zhao Wen is not a person who sticks to etiquette, and Liu Ziguang is even more rude. Sitting carelessly on the side, Zhao Wen said: "It's hard not to be the bird emperor anymore, but those little old men have given me the title of Supreme Emperor, don't want it, it sounds like an old lady, it's not fun at all, it's better Be a princess"

Liu Ziguang thought it was right, everyone was Princess Shang, he was lucky, married a Supreme Empress as his wife, although it sounds very cool, but I always feel that there is a little bit of awkwardness, but since it is the decision of the court, it is not easy to play tricks He had a bad temper, so he could only mention it as little as possible at home. He coughed dryly and said, "It's time for me to go back to China after I'm done with work. Would you like to go back to Daming with me?"
