Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 754 Context
Although it is a three-year peace period, it does not mean that the war machine of Ming Dynasty has not moved for three years. The 30-year war that has spread to the entire world is still in full swing. Protestant countries such as the New World, France, the Netherlands, and Sweden are not only They started a direct competition with Ming Dynasty and hired a large group of pirates. The famous Pirates of the Caribbean can fully flourish at this time, replacing the United Kingdom, and the Governor's Mansion of the New Texas Colony has become their main enemy.

At the mouth of the Atlantic Ocean, in the Port of Houston, there are as many pirates hanging in the port covered with asphalt as there are caterpillars falling from the willow trees in summer.

At the same time in the Mughal Empire, the newly ascended emperor seemed dissatisfied with the agreement with Ming and once again colluded with the French. The second Mughal War had just ended. This time, Li Guogao's mercenaries And Li Xiaohei's Bangladesh Front Army once again continued Li Dingguo's brilliant record, and once again defeated 21 Mughal troops with less than [-] Ming troops plus Indian mercenaries by the Ganges River, blood-stained the Ganges River dozens of miles.

The power of the emperor and the already shaken majesty of the Mughal Empire, like a mirror, were smashed to pieces at once.

The rule of the various Suba provinces loosened, and a divided subcontinent began to spread its slender thighs towards Daming like a girl in heat.

However, he is worthy of being a former sea coachman. On the way, the Spanish Empire’s army of the Netherlands was once again bloodbathed. The Netherlands and the French fleet also frequently appeared in Ming’s back garden in Southeast Asia. From Batavia to Luzon, and then to Taiwan, playing hide-and-seek That's a guerrilla fight with the Imperial fleet.

For the tentacles of the Ming Empire extending to the sea, these guys are really a headache like mosquitoes.

…………

"The Habsburg family needs more support!"

Three years have passed, and the Spanish female naval general Adelaine is still so heroic, even when she roars, she is so hot and full of charm, but unfortunately, in negotiations, whoever has the loudest voice is not justified, even if this little girl roars in every possible way, Song Qingshu is always the same. Looks drowsy.

The Song-Han Railway opened to traffic this morning, and he got up at four o'clock in the morning to get ready, and it really made him dazed. The train was swaying, and he couldn't lift his spirits. The female admiral yelled for a long time , Song Qingshu only spoke vaguely, dreamily.

"Well, my cabinet deeply sympathizes with your country's tragic experience..."

Adelaine's cheeks almost exploded when she heard these words. The reason why the Kingdom of Spain sent her here is not lacking in the taste of seduction. Who made Song Qingshu have several wives and concubines, and they are famous. Now she can see it, Song Qingshu This guy is purely an old rogue politician, who took advantage of Spain and took advantage of her, but when it comes to real problems, this guy doesn't let go at all.

She was really too lazy to waste her saliva with him, so the female admiral simply folded her arms and sat back across from her buttocks, throwing a map with her nose not her nose and her face not her face.

"The governor of Mexico, the kingdom is willing to hand over to Ming in exchange for Ming's military support!"

"Mexico!"

Song Qingshu, who was so dazed and unable to wake up just now, his eyes lit up like light bulbs in an instant.Seeing his expression like a bear seeing honey, the Spanish female navy was speechless again.

Spain is also helpless. Now this old colonial empire is in a period of great decline. The wealth of the New World has nourished this greedy country and at the same time corrupted the upper class. Now in the New World, the crazy Caribbean pirates are not only robbing Daming, Spain and Portugal are also It is also the meat on their cutting board. Most of the war resources are placed in the country. The Dutch war with the Netherlands has been fought for more than 80 years, and they are no longer able to defend the vast colonies of the New World.

The point is that this is still an endless loop. If the country loses the 30-year war in the hegemony of the European continent, the vast New Spain will still have to be captured by a series of greedy wolf-like powers such as the Netherlands, France, and Britain. In three years, Spain has invested countless War resources, they can't stop.

And what Adelaina regrets the most is that she ceded the Isthmus of Panama four years ago. She never expected that Daming would dig it up and build a canal. Now there is no need to go under the control of Spain. The southernmost Strait of Magellan, merchant ships from various countries in the Caribbean can directly reach the Pacific Ocean through here, and then go east, pass through Honolulu, a colony of Ming Dynasty, and directly arrive at Songjiang. The profits of this route are huge.

This is not the most important thing. What's more important is that Song Qingshu played a trick that Dayu played in the past. In Wei's national history "Bamboo Book Chronicles", the power transfer of the ancient three emperors, Yao, Shun and Yu, was not as good as what Confucianism praised. Tang Yao was old, Shun imprisoned him, and then Dayu played new tricks. When the famous Dayu flood control was completed, Dayu had already captured most of China's manpower, material resources and popularity through water control. In his own hands, it is reasonable to replace Shun as the co-lord.

The governor of Ming Dynasty also used the wisdom of his ancestors to build the canal this time. Almost all the labor was recruited from Spanish Mexico. A total of 30 million people who were descendants of the Aztecs were employed in Ming Dynasty to dig the canal. Greatly strengthened the connection between the Ming people and the Indians, and the understanding between the two sides.

Compared with the Spanish conquistadors who were full of gold and squeezed out every nutrient in Mexico, the well-educated Ming people were obviously more liked by these aborigines, and Ming people paid for rice, corn, potatoes and other food, The Spaniards took money, and now, in Spanish Mexico, the influence of Ming merchants has surpassed that of the Spaniards.

Under such circumstances, it is tantamount to putting the salted fish under the cat's nose. Instead of waiting for Da Ming's covetousness, the two countries will turn against each other and get stabbed in the back by Da Ming. military support.

The negotiation lasted less than half a night on the bumpy train, and Adelaine, who was full of urgency, got out of the car with the results of the negotiation. This negotiation also broke a historical record and officially defined a rich country. A whole Spanish Mexico, worth [-] first-class and second-class battleships, two giant Fuchuan transport ships, and five divisions composed of captured Jurchens, Mongols, and a small number of Han mercenaries, and ten Indian mercenary regiments The division has [-] guns and [-] cannons. As for ammunition, there is no calculation for the time being.

Except for the two-year production capacity of the Ming Empire, the rest, with today's production capacity, can be prepared in less than a year. The only thing that hurts is the mercenary regiment. Fortunately, in the huge Southeast Asia, there are sixteen reform camps Some Eight Banners soldiers captured in previous wars were willing to get rid of hard labor as mercenaries, and Bangladesh did not lack population to supplement mercenary regiments. At this price, it was worthwhile to buy Spanish Mexico with a population of one million!

Adelaine must seize the time to go to Yingtian Shipyard, and propose as many battleships as she can according to the agreement. In the next three months, she will travel all over Southeast Asia and the Governor's Palace of Bangladesh to form the agreed team. The legion finally transported these troops back with a huge fleet, and then put them on the western battlefield, but these things should be troubled by governors at all levels, mayors, and ministers of armed reserves. Song Qingshu, the head of the empire, is not needed for the time being. Worrying about the details, he dismissed the female navy, and again, lying on the table, Song Qingshu began to feel drowsy.

With the soft snoring, the sound of the whole carriage also became silent, and the secretaries of the cabinet quietly left the carriage with their official documents. There was no way, Song Qingshu was a well-known workaholic, and now everything in Daming was safe. Relying on him, it is rare for Song Qingshu to rest in peace for a while, and no one dares to add half of his burden. No one knows what the empire will be like if Song Qingshu is gone.

In the entire carriage, apart from the roar of the railroad tracks, there was only the rustling sound of pencils drawing on paper. There was no electricity yet, and then the oil lamp flickered. According to the draft, she, the chief editor, has accumulated a thick stack of news materials during this trip to Hanyang, and after the train arrives in Songjiang, it will be published at the Songjiang Newspaper Office and will be distributed throughout the world.

However, the rustling sound of sketches stopped at some point. Even though it was late at night, looking at the drawing paper and looking at Song Qingshu who was sleeping soundly with his chin resting on his chin, a very different kind of expression suddenly appeared on Zhu Weifei's calm and beautiful face. The shrewd and capable editor-in-chief of Pioneer is usually like the obsession of a young girl in Huaichun.

What an enigmatic man!

In the beginning, like the rest of the royal family who were deprived of their land, salary, and respected status in the past, Princess Changping wanted to kill this national traitor, and she really did it. However, it was precisely because of this action that she also I saw another way of living.

It is no longer a vase of rice bugs kept in the deep palace, except waiting to be married as a political bargaining chip to a certain noble son, and then spend a lifetime in a daze as a vassal, but can rely on his own strength and live in his own career In the middle, to control one's own destiny, all of this was created by the man in front of him.

Thinking about it carefully, Song Qingshu is really so different, not only different from the dignitaries of noble families and ministers of the first rank that Zhu Yuhui has seen before, but also different from the peasant army leaders and warlord generals that have been interviewed and excavated in these years.

Subconsciously, Zhu Yuhui suddenly leaned forward boldly, her big watery eyes were close together, trying to see clearly how Song Qingshu's head grew.But when her trembling red lips were less than a few centimeters away from Song Qingshu's forehead, a sharp siren sounded suddenly.

Departing from Songjiang, Hanyang Jingxiang traveled a circle of the cabinet inspection team, and finally returned to Songjiang, the starting place again. The siren of the stop signal just woke up Song Qingshu, and he opened his eyes suddenly, and the two just stared at each other stared together.

"Is there something wrong with this pavilion's face?"

Hearing Song Qingshu's surprised question, Aimee Zhu could not wait to find a crack in the ground to sneak in, blushing with a small face and retreated abruptly, the royal reporter grabbed the drawing board again angrily, and turned his head disdainfully to hum road.

"Old guy, his face is full of wrinkles, my editor can't get closer, can you draw it clearly?"

As she said that, holding the drawing board and carrying her press suitcase, Aimee Zhu turned her head angrily and walked towards the exit first, but no one noticed how her face turned red before going out.

The eldest princess can play her temper and leave, but Song Qingshu is sad. Seeing Xiaobao rushing from the front, full of excitement for returning home, Song Qingshu yelled sadly.

"Take out the mirror quickly, my pavilion, have you grown up like this?"

…………

The emergence of the railway is truly a miracle in the history of transportation. In the past, from the southeast coast to the central inland, it took three or four months to go back and forth even by horse-drawn carriage. But this time, Song Qingshu shuttled between Jingzhou and Songjiang visited more than ten cities successively, and the time spent was astonishingly only 21 days.

After another 100 meters of taxiing, the long train stopped under the huge inertia. The front of the train was still whistling hot steam, but each compartment was opened, and the densely packed entourage came down from each compartment like ants, and quickly moved The spacious Yingtian station is fully covered.

At this time, Song Qingshu finally got out of the shadow of the old guy who said Miss Princess, and got out of the car wearing a mink fur coat.

This Song-Han Railway is the first railway that the empire invested heavily in. It has invested more than 3000 million taels of silver. This Songjiang Station has six parallel tracks, which can go directly to Jingxiang, and can also go south to Fuzhou. In Guangdong and Guangxi, the intricate context began to flow within the empire.

But looking at the stacked train carriages and spare locomotives in the station, Song Qingshu's eyes showed a sharp look.

After three years of dormancy, it's time to get ready to move!
