Chapter 818
The sixth year of Daming Tiandao, it is almost September, and the autumn wind in the north has already risen. It is time for the emperor to go south again. On the horse-carriage railway leading to Tanggu on the east side of Beijing New City, a long list of exactly the same passenger carriages slowly heading east under the escort of cavalry. The carriages of these carriages are very wide, with transparent glass windows on both sides, and the steel wheels are stuck on iron wooden tracks (the railway has been this kind of iron-covered wood track for decades that have appeared in history). When you move, you will make a clanging sound.
However, this sound did not affect the interest of Chen Dexing, Li Cuixian and Baoyin at all.
Unlike the Queen Li Cuixian who stayed in Beijing in previous years, this time the Empress Dowager Guo Fuer who stayed in Beijing. Zhao Lin'er, who was just pregnant, also stayed in Beijing and was taken care of by Guo Fuer himself. In fact, Baoyin, who went south with Chen Dexing, also had a body, with a high belly and a plump chest, which was even more plump. However, her body was strong, and this little bit of fatigue was nothing. Moreover, the woman who grew up on the grassland was not ashamed to be between beds. She dared to play with any tricks. Even with a big belly, she could still serve Chen Dashi comfortably. Now she still massaged Chen Dexing's back and shoulders in the carriage, and did not treat herself as a pregnant woman.
Chen Dexing sat cross-legged on the soft velvet blanket, squinted his eyes and enjoyed Baoyin's service. He held a cup of strong coffee in his hand and took a few sips from time to time.
Li Cuixian was holding a memorial and talking to Chen Dexing.
"The sage, the capital of Yili Prefecture is Daqing County. The 49th is a hero who captured both sides of the Yili River. His prince's title should be related to Yili. Why not be named the prince of the Qing Dynasty?"
While Chen Huaiqing and Chen Defang and his son showed their skills in Tianzhu, the Ming Dynasty's battle to advance west was also moving steadily. If we compare it with the map of the People's Republic of China in later generations, the western territory of the Ming Empire has finally exceeded the scope of the Republic of later generations. It is considered to be a foreign country!
The one who commanded the battle to advance west was Zhu Sijiu of the twenty-two brothers. He was young among the twenty-two brothers, and he was less than thirty years old this year. When Chen Dexing ascended the throne, he was granted the title of Duke of the County when he ascended the throne. After the Ming Dynasty pacified Jiangnan, he also granted him the title of Duke of the State. Now he conquered the Western Regions again. Although he did not have any special achievements, he had already opened thousands of miles of borders and almost recovered the Western Regions of the Han and Tang Dynasties. Such contributions would naturally be granted the title of Duke of the County.
The princes of the Ming Dynasty were not actually granted titles, and they did not have fiefs and states, so their names were all empty. Generally, they chose the hometown of the heroes or the place names that they made great achievements before the king's title.
"The Prince of the Qing Dynasty?" Chen Dexing frowned slightly. Why did this name change so much? Moreover, Zhu Sijiu's surname is Zhu, and the one with the surname Zhu became the master of the Qing Dynasty. Is this really appropriate?
"Where is Zhu Sijiu's hometown?" Chen Dexing put down his coffee cup and asked again.
"The Prince of Xuyi?" Li Cuixian shook his head, "Where is the Prince of Qing Dynasty that is nice and catchy? And in the future, the 49th century will definitely be a country. This Qing Dynasty can also be used as a national name. It would be a bit strange if it was called Xuyi."
"Qing Dynasty? This country's name sounds very good?" Chen Dexing rolled his eyelids. The Qing Dynasty seemed to be very annoying!
"Don't it sound good?" Li Cuixian was a little surprised. Her husband never cared about these trivial matters, so why did he get confused today?
"Okay, the Qing Dynasty is the Qing Dynasty." Chen Dexing thought for a while and nodded. Zhu Sijiu was a hero. His fief was in Nanmingzhou as usual, otherwise he would let him go to the territory of Argentina. I think there would be no big trouble.
"The sage, the sage of Sijiu also said that on both sides of the Yili River, the northern foothills of the Tianshan Mountains, the water and grass are fertile and sparsely populated. Tens of thousands of military households should be moved to military farms to supply large military food."
The memorandum in Li Cuixian's hand was sent by Zhu Sijiu, general of the Western Expedition Army and governor of Yili. The content was related to the military affairs of the Western Regions. Yili was not the end of the Western Expedition. Moreover, the war between the Ming Dynasty and the Great Mongol Kingdom did not stop.
Chen Dexing did not accept Kublai Khan's surrender, because now is the best time to seek the entire Central Asia! Kublai Khan's western expedition was no different from a catastrophe to the Mesopotamian Basin in Central Asia. He not only took away a large amount of supplies, cattle and sheep, but also swept away more than 2 million people! These included almost all the craftsmen and young men in the Mesopotamian Basin. The Mesopotamian Basin is now the weakest time, which is not only easy to conquer, but also convenient for the aftermath.
Chen Dexing can ignore Europa now, but he will never tolerate the gentle Tianfang scholar, Muer, who is a gentle Tianfang scholar, ruled the Two Rivers.
Therefore, the Western Expedition must continue! Zhu Sijiu's views on the Western Expedition are exactly the same as Chen Dexing. This future Qing Dynasty Taizu actually doesn't want Argentina. He wants to make a piece of land in the Mesopotamian River Basin of Central Asia to become a king himself.
So Chen Dexing did not recall Zhu Sijiu and recalled him, and there was no person of the same level willing to go!
"Ten thousand military households can cost more than 100,000 people!" Chen Dexing murmured in a low voice. More than 100,000 Han people moved to the Yili River in the Western Regions... It's a lot of trouble!
Baoyin, who was massaged by Chen Dexing, suddenly interrupted: "We have to send more Taoists to open Taoist temples. There are many barbarians on the grasslands around the Yili River, all of which are Turkic and Mongolian bastards, very fierce! If they can be educated well, there will be tens of thousands of elite soldiers."
Baoyin was not only a concubine of Ming, but also a magistrate of Heaven, but also lived near the Yili River. He naturally had the qualifications to speak on this issue.
"Can you still get tens of thousands of elite soldiers?" Chen Dexing frowned, "Didn't Kublai Khan search all the people on the grassland?"
"How could it be all gone?" Baoyin smiled, "Where is the barbarians on the grassland so easy to fiddle with? The water and grass around the Yili River are plump, how could everyone be willing to follow Europa? And the grassland is so big that these barbarians wander around. What can Kublai Khan do to them?"
"Shouldn't they listen to Brother Bin's Timu'er?" Li Cuixian also asked. Now Brother Bin's Timu'er was granted the title of Central Asia by Kublai Khan. This guy seems to be a "good person" and is more popular.
"If you can listen to people, you are not a barbarian," Baoyin smiled. "Or why did Brother Bumi Temu'er convert to the Tianfang Sect? Mengge, why did Kublai Khan believe in Lama? They don't know how to listen to human words, and they can listen to some myths."
As for barbarians, they are the same everywhere. They are all believers and disobey people. Historically, Christianity educated the Huns, Germans, and Slavs in the West. The Tianfang religion educated the Turks, Berbers, some Mongolians, some black millets, some indigenous people in Southeast Asia, and some other barbarians. Buddhism educated the Tubos and most Mongolians. The market in Southeast Asia is not small, and it was introduced to Japan with Confucianism.
According to historical experience, using gods and ghosts to educate barbarians can be easily implemented as long as they have some advantages in martial arts. And the more barbaric you are, the better the educational effect will be.
"Okay, that's it." Chen Dexing thought for a moment, then nodded, "Cuixian, please write it down. Send 50,000 military households to the Yili River to farm. Let the Cabinet Office provide the best funds. In addition, a great scholar in the Western Regions of the Tianfang Cult and send Taoists to the Western Regions to preach."
There was a short table in the carriage, with a pen, inkstone and a bunch of memorials on it, all handed over by the Cabinet Office and the Fourth Army Department. Li Cuixian picked up the brush and approved the paragraph on the memorial handed over by Zhu Sijiu. Of course, this instruction was not the final decision, but to be discussed at the imperial meeting. Therefore, the queen Li Cuixian could write a few words on behalf of Chen Dexing.
After closing this memorial, Li Cuixian received another memorial from the Admiral's Office of the Nanyang Fleet.
When he opened it, Li Cuixian raised his eyebrows lightly, revealing a complicated expression.
Chen Dexing kept looking at his wife. A woman who had given birth to five children for him and was over 30 years old can still have such white and firm skin. She has no need to apply powder on her face and no wrinkles. Her upper circumference is even more plump... It seems that the body she has been trained through small and small is really a good capital!
Seeing his wife frowned slightly, he smiled and asked, "Cuixian, what happened?"
"The memorial of Wang Shuifei fought a large-scale naval battle in a place called the Maldives Islands. There were 1,000 Tianfang Cult pirates' sails and participated in the boat..."
"Did the Nanyang Fleet win?" Chen Dexing asked without changing his face. He knew that there was a Battle of Diwu in history. Europa's fruit teeth defeated more than 2,000 of the Tianfang Cult. Now there are more than 100 ships in the Nanyang Fleet. However, there are only 1,000 of the Tianfang Cult, and there is not a cannon. What is the suspense of the victory or defeat?
"It was not the Nanyang Fleet that won. It was the Prince of Ying's privateer. Only 21 lucky ships were used, and it was led by the Prince of Ying! When the Nanyang Fleet's "Oceania" passed through Male Island, the naval battle was basically over. The Nanyang Fleet only participated in the pursuit. In this service, the Prince of Ying's privateer sank a total of twenty-five gallows and ships, capturing forty-seven; the Nanyang Fleet sank eleven and captured nine. In addition, the Prince of Ying and the Nanyang Fleet also rescued more than 11,000 slave oarsmen."
"Passing by? Why did the 'Oceania' go to the Maldives?" Chen Dexing rolled his eyes. Chen Defang fought against the Tianfang Cult pirates in the Maldives, and it is really easy to pass by the South China Fleet flagship "Oceania"? Why did the "Oceania" go to the Maldives? What did the lies? Isn't this lies too fake?
"It is said that it is a visit to Male Island to promote the prestige of our Ming Dynasty." Li Cuixian said with a smile.
"Publicizing the prestige of the Ming Dynasty? What a good excuse..." Chen Dexing waved his hand, "Forget it, just win. Send it to the Navy Department, and the Navy Staff Department discuss a commendation plan. You should be promoted and awarded."
"Sage, do you want to transfer Wang Shuifei back to the Navy?" Li Cuixian asked in a low voice.
Chen Dexing thought for a moment and shook his hand gently.
"No hurry."
Li Cuixian's pupils shrank slightly, but these two words surprised her a little. She originally thought that Chen Dexing would say "no need". Chen Dexing has always been a suspicious emperor. He has always been a wise emperor. He is always employed by cabinet ministers, generals in the army, as a queen, Chen Huaiqing, and Chen Defang.
But now, Chen Dexing wants to transfer him from the position of admiral of the Nanyang Fleet because of the possible tacit understanding between Wang Shuifei and Chen Defang.
"The King of England's memorial is here," Li Cuixian picked up Chen Huaiqing's memorial again. "What is reported is something, and the caliber is the same as the Nanyang Fleet... In addition, the King of England also said in the memorial that he would form a black legion."
"Black Legion?" Chen Dexing pressed his forehead. There were more and more troubles! Why are there black people?
"Where did the black people come from?"
"The slaves of the Arabs are all black," said Li Cuixian. "Crown Prince Ying gave them freedom, so they were willing to serve Prince Ying. The number was more than 13,000 (Solomon family also provided some people), and they were all very strong."
"Ten thousand black people..." Chen Dexing shook his head, "This matter... these black people can be used now, but they cannot stay in India in the future, let alone become special Brahmins."
"So where are you going?" Li Cuixian asked.
"Go to Black Africa." Chen Dexing said, "When Tianzhu finishes fighting, I will send them on the road and go to Black Africa to become masters."
Li Cuixian said oh, then lowered her head and recorded Chen Dexing's meaning in the memorial. How Chen Dexing wanted to arrange for Black Africa and these black warriors was irrelevant to Li Cuixian. What she cares about now is only the future of her offspring. In addition to the crown prince Chen Chang'an, she also gave birth to the second son of the emperor, Chen Changkong, the fifth son of the emperor, and the sixth son of the emperor. She was often favored by Chen Dexing these days, and it is estimated that it will take long to get pregnant again.
In the past nine years, her belly can be said to be a great hero of the Chen family dynasty. In nine years, she gave birth to four sons and two daughters, and a total of six children. They are all strong and are all Xiao Jingangs who never get sick. Just because of this "variety" and this "yield", Chen Dexing must not help but spoil Li Cuixian for the prosperity of the dynasty. In addition to Li Cuixian's four sons, Chen Dexing also has two other sons, one is Zhao Chang, born by Zhao Liner, who inherited the country of Zhao Song, and was a little weak. I wonder if he could become an adult? The other is Chen Changsheng, born by Mo Yingniang, who did not give birth to a marriage and did not live in the palace, but was raised by Mo Yingniang alone, and his body was also considered a careless person.
Moreover, Li Cuixian felt that her body had not become weaker because of the arrival of the six children. It seemed that she could continue to give birth. The indicators for the ten children she set for herself may exceed. Once her sons had more, she naturally had to plan for their future. According to Chen Dexing's plan, Beimingzhou was a private place for her sons, and it seemed a bit deserted!
Thinking of this, she took out another memorial from Mingzhou President Huang Zhishen. "Sage, Huang Zhishen has arrived at Mingmen Port safely, and I will report my safety."
Mingmen Port is approximately Vancouver in later generations. It is the first stop to reach Beimingzhou along the North Atlantic warm current. The Governor's Office of Beimingzhou built a port there, named Mingmen Port
At the end, the science fiction martial arts novel "The God of Martial Arts" is recommended.
