Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

The war in the Northeast has come to an end for the time being, and Khalkha Mongolia is making slow progress. This summer, Wuchang Mansion should have been a scene of peace.However, the news that the Tianzhu tutelary government used the Western 36 to conquer Colombo and Galle and establish a stronghold in Matala immediately caused a big commotion.

The Overwatch Council immediately impeached the Ministry of War, Governor's Yamen, Western Navy, Lingyamen Duhufu, and Tianzhu Zhenshoufu for instigating frontier quarrels, infringing on the imperial power, and privately granting the status of merchants and merchants as the inner vassal, committing the crime of great treason.The Ministry of War and the governor's yamen hastily argued that they did not know what was going on, and that the local officials did it on their own, and requested that the two departments send members to jointly investigate the cause of the matter.

To add to the confusion, after receiving the bad news from the court, Gong Tian, ​​the former admiral of the Zhenxi Navy and the current admiral of the Zhendong Navy, arrived in Taicang overnight by boat from the Daqushan Town Guard Mansion, and immediately changed into a prison uniform. Changed to take the Yangtze River Navy Clippers to enter the court to ask for sin and decide the latest chapter of Journey to the West.He hadn't arrived in Wuchang yet, and since he was not strict with the government, the apology for the king's favor had already arrived, which further aggravated the turmoil between the government and the opposition.

Zheng Kezang did not immediately express his opinion on the disturbance from the outside world, but only approved the investigation application submitted by the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office, and instructed the Overwatch Council to investigate the incident together with him.However, the investigation committee members of the three yamen arrived at Ling Yamen, and reported it urgently, and found that the Dutch warships in Batavia and other places were frequently mobilized, and there may be signs of war with China.

In order to suppress the imminent move of the Dutch, the Huaxia Military Department immediately dispatched Zhenbei, Zhendong, Zhennan, Zhenxi and other internal naval ships to fill the vacancies of the two new naval divisions of East Tianzhu and Suluhai. With the appearance of the door-cannon cruiser, the seemingly imminent Xiahe battle finally disappeared temporarily. [

The war in the East Tianzhu Islands did not start, but the tense atmosphere in the waters around Xilan continued.The Dutch United East India Company mobilized more than 2000 warships and armed merchant ships from Chinsula, Pulicat, Sadras and Batavia on the west coast of Tianzhu to blockade the trading port of Tianzhu Tutorial in Matala. The Dutch in Funa also mobilized more than [-] troops to approach Matala by land, and they seemed to be forcing Huaxia's first foothold in Xilan to death.

In addition, the Dutch also united with their old enemy, the Portuguese, to deter Tianzhu tutelary with force.Facing the large warships of the Netherlands and Portugal, only two third-class letter ships and two slow-moving armed Junk ships, the Tianzhu tutelary fort did not rescue Matala at all, and even broke through the blockade of the tutelary fort by the Dutch. Very difficult.

"My lords." In the East Tianzhu Naval Office at Ling Yamen, there are false posts as the founder of the country, doctor Jiayi (the third rank), the guests of the inspector prince (the fifth rank), and the first-class captain (the third rank). Chang Tianyuan, who was ordered by the second rank to be the admiral of the East Tianzhu Navy Division and in charge of the Navy, Marine Corps and Horse Commander, proposed to several investigation committee members with serious expressions. "No matter how bold Niu Mingli is, since I occupied that Matala, that place is my territory, and naturally Xiyi won't allow prying eyes."

Huo Ying, the investigative member of the Ministry of War and a member of the headquarters, asked, "What does the admiral mean?"

Chang Tianyuan said succinctly: "Master Huang Boming, the captain of the Navy, led a detachment to patrol Tianzhu Town Guard Mansion and Matala, and arrested Niu Mingli to stand trial."

Huo Ying and Yao Jie, the investigation committee member of the governor's office, looked at the special envoy of the Overwatch Council, Wan Fengyun, who was squinting slightly, and nodded in unison: "Yes, but I don't know what Lord Wan means."

Hearing Huo and Yao mention their names, Wan Fengyun, who seemed to be dozing off, slowly opened his eyes: "It's okay to arrest Niu Mingli, but it's not a trial. The right to interrogate the fifth-rank officials is just to ask this Lord Niu to come back and honestly explain who was ordered by him."

Now that the three officers nodded, Chang Tianyuan was about to give the order, when suddenly a military officer hurried in: "Master Admiral, my lords, the imperial envoy who delivered the order has just arrived at the pier."

Imperial envoy?The four of them looked at each other in blank dismay, could it be that the imperial court had reached a conclusion on Xilan's matter?Impossible?How could the imperial court have made a decision since there was no ugly Yinmao here?If it wasn't for Xilan's matter, what new instructions did the court have?Not knowing why and not daring to neglect, the four hurried to the pier to meet the new passer-by.

"According to Tianjing's order, the emperor said:" After welcoming the pedestrians back to the admiral's office, the censer tribute case was placed, and the pedestrian with the surname Lian's eighth grade read the decree. "The 19 people below Yunchun, who inspected the house, expanded overseas and established businesses in all directions. After success, they will not be kings or hegemons. They will devote themselves to the court and submit to them wholeheartedly. This is a great kindness. This dynasty is the most fair. Punishment means abandoning the people overseas. According to this, Fang Yunchun was granted the hereditary prefect of Tuwa, Sun Chang was granted the hereditary prefect of Danlao, Gao Bao was granted the hereditary prefect of Moji, and Yidai was granted the title of prefect. The vassals will be sealed off, and they should be protected by the township government in southern Myanmar, and all vassals should not act recklessly in the future, and if they violate the laws of the country, they will be punished themselves. This is it!"

Although this edict was not for the Western Navy, but now the Lingya Gate Guard House has been paralyzed, and all affairs are handled by the East Tianzhu Navy, so it is not possible for Chang Tianyuan to receive the edict, so Chang Tianyuan immediately led everyone to respect it. Respectfully kowtow and accept the order.

After handing over the two copies of the imperial decree to his subordinates for archiving and preservation, Chang Tianyuan said to the Sesame Mung Bean official with a smile on his face, "Master Lian, what a lucky lord, just in time for the naval detachment to go to the Tianzhu Guardian Mansion Cruise, if you miss this class, your lord will have to take a fast boat, which is far less safe than a cruiser."

Hearing that there is no need to sit on the deadly letter boat, Lian immediately burst into a smile: "It's the best, it's the best Pokémon master from another world."

Yao Jie leaned over at this time and asked: "Master Lian, my official Yao Jie, was ordered to investigate the case of treason in Ling Yamen's Duhu Mansion, and I would like to ask my lord, this edict from the Holy One has a final conclusion on the case of treason."

Several other people also cast their gazes with concern, and seeing those fifth-rank officials looking at him eagerly, the little pedestrian felt better immediately: "I want the adults to know that the imperial court has a final decision on this, but the Holy Majesty said, Although Fang and others exploited the land in southern Burma only for their own selfishness, but the status is established, this place is the territory of China, if there are tens of thousands of 36 western companies developing overseas, then the territory of China will inevitably spread all over the world , This cannot be achieved in a short period of time with the power of the imperial court alone, why not go smoothly and be happy to see it succeed? But some gains will eventually have to be imported into the middle school."

Wan Feng Yunpin smashed it for a while, then frowned and asked: "Then the matter of privately agreeing to feudal feudal feudal lordship, will it be over?"

"Of course not." Pedestrian Lian shook his head. "Grace comes from above. How can the king's power be snooped by a mere fifth-rank official? It's just that Niu Mingli made a promise or just agreed to report it for the 36 Western families. I'm afraid you have to find out before you can make a conclusion. As for It’s the so-called provocation.” Even the adults put it off, and waited until everyone was a little unsteady, and then he continued. "My lord, the overseas countries are all barbarians. The barbarians are always afraid of power and not virtuous. As long as they have big fists, they will naturally do whatever they want. Xilan was not originally the territory of the Dutch, and the Dutch snatched it from the Frangji people." Yes, before that, the Frangji people also seized the ruling power from the local aborigines, and since the precedent preceded it, it is too much to be fearful."

"Your Majesty means that Niu understands their crimes?" Huo Ying was going to be punished, and if he really wanted to follow what Zheng Kezang said, then how should the Ministry of War restrain its subordinates. "This, this seems to connive at the feudal town."

Chang Tianyuan's expression changed immediately, and he stopped immediately: "Master Huo, your words are suspected of defaming Shengjia, please be careful."

"Someone also said this to the Holy Majesty. The Holy Majesty said that the sky is high and the emperor is far away. He can't control it even if he wants to. As long as there are no problems at all, he can't take care of the minor details." Mr. Lian added. "Of course, the Holy Majesty also said that although Niu Mingli and others are opening up borders for the country, they still need to be investigated and dealt with if they don't invite favors."

Everyone couldn't understand, what did Zheng Kezang mean when he said east and west?Only Chang Tianyuan's eyes lit up, apparently he understood it—Zheng Kezang was clearly implying that being aggressive is not a bad thing as long as he is not caught and exposed by the Overwatch Council. It depends on the place, it is feasible overseas, but if someone violates the imperial court's grand strategy and easily provokes a war that should not happen in the inland area, then severe punishment is inevitable.

All the officials were still pondering, even the pedestrians asked Yao Jie: "Master Yao is the highest official of the governor's office in Ling Yamen?"

Yao Jie responded embarrassingly: "Right now Master Chang is also in charge of the affairs of the Lingyamen Governor's Mansion."

Lian Pedestrian greeted Yao Jie in embarrassment, turned his head and said to Chang Tianyuan: "Master Chang, Master Xu Qing told Ling Yamen that the imperial court intends to negotiate with Folang Jiren. Please do it, my lord."

Negotiate with the Portuguese?Everyone, Monk Zhang Er, looked at Lian Xingren puzzled.

Lian Xingren said: "The imperial court has contacted the Swedes to deal with Oros."

This statement is actually a bit false. In fact, the Chinese court only promised to give the Swedes the most favorable treatment, so that they can obtain more benefits, so that the country has sufficient financial resources to continue fighting with Russia in the northern ice sheet. Judging from the volume of a ship, the increased income is actually very limited.Moreover, the Chinese imperial court gave Sweden the most favorable treatment with conditions, that is, hoping to use this to lure Sweden to hand over the westbound voyage or accompany Chinese ships to Europe for direct trade.

"The purpose of contacting the Swedes is to deal with the Oros, and of course the purpose of contacting the Frangji is to deal with the Hongyi." Lian Xingren ostentatiously said. "The bottom line of the imperial court is that as long as Frangji agrees to hand over the secret of the westbound voyage, the imperial court agrees to resume its trading qualifications in Penghu, and no longer restricts the number of ships entering the mud trade, Ah Zhen and his country's territory in Tianzhu It can also be kept."

"But Fulang Jiren is teaming up with Hongyi." Halfway through speaking, Yao Jie suddenly realized. "That's right, Xiyi has always been greedy for property, and using this to lure them, may be able to lure them to turn against Hongyi, so that the imperial court can also use a strategy of long-distance friendship and short-term attack."
