I recommend a book "My Great British Empire", a work by a reader. Readers who like foreign history can try their taste.

……………………

In the matter of title, Qin, Jin, Qi and Chu were respected. Qin and Jin have been granted to Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo. Chen Wen's occupied area is similar to that of the ancient Chu Kingdom, but the Chu King of the Old Zhu family did not have any heirs. Now in Zheng Chenggong's army, only the King of Qi had been removed from titles as early as the Yongle period. In addition, Chen Wen's ancestor also served in the Left Guard of Qingzhou, and it was just right for the title, which was better than Zhang Xianzhong who washed the Shu Palace and Liu Wenxiu, the adopted son, was awarded the throne of Shu King.

"Your Majesty is very kind, and I am grateful to you."

As he said that, Chen Wen bowed to Kunming, and Li Dingguo also accompanied Chen Wen. In fact, in addition to commending Chen Wen's achievements in the name of enfeoffment, this time the enthronement was also to ease the relationship. More importantly, Sun Kewang did not ask for instructions in advance or report it later. In the absence of legal principles, Yongli did not intend to recognize it with his nose, especially now that Sun Kewang is just a dead tiger.

Just like Sun Kewang shortly before, he conferred Ma Jinzhong as King of Jiading and Feng Shuangli as King Xing'an. After the internal offender failed, the army turned against each other. Yongli turned his hand and appointed Ma Jinzhong as King of Hanyang and Feng Shuangli as King of Qingyang, and did not recognize Sun Kewang's conferred Sun Kewang's conferred Chen Wen. Although Yongli did not want to admit it, they must respectfully call Chen Wen the King of Yue before the King of Qi.

Nothing else, strength.

However, after this gift, the half stone of Li Dingguo could barely land, and the subsequent greetings became easier.

"I remember that back then, I also went to Brother Li's army and invited Brother Li to cooperate in attacking Jiangxi and restore Jiangnan. I didn't expect that time I could meet again, but I was protecting the emperor when Brother Li was protecting the emperor. I led the troops to support the king and defeated Sun Kewang, a rebellion. It was really sad."

Li Dingguo still remembered what happened back then. There was no way, Chen Wen's current momentum was here, but he was limited to this southwest corner. Judging from the results, Chen Wen's plan was right. However, there was no chance after that. Chen Wen attacked Nanjiang and Fujian and Guangdong changed drastically. At that time, Li Dingguo was in Xinhui County, southern Guangzhou Prefecture, and there was only a Shang Zhixin separated from the middle. However, Chen Wen was in a hurry to return to Jiangxi to take charge, so he missed the opportunity.

"It's true. Back then, I was worried about the safety of the emperor, and I was afraid that the army would advance eastward and without any constraints, Sun Kewang would directly plot against him."

Li Dingguoyan finished this, but Chen Wen also understood that at that time he was just a small army leader who occupied two and a half of the territory of the palace. Even if he killed Chen Jin, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian at that time, he would be far from being able to compare with Zheng Chenggong, who had the strongest navy in the Chinese sea and had tens of thousands of troops. It was reasonable for Li Dingguo to have such a choice.

In fact, Chen Wen at that time lacked enough confidence in whether he could reverse the situation in the entire Southeast battlefield with his own strength, otherwise he would not have thought of the strategy of inviting Li Dingguo to Jiangxi. Fortunately, at that time, he did not place all his hopes on others, just as he did not believe that the three games of the Lu Ping could succeed. Only by constantly strengthening his own strength can he have hope of success, and there is no other way.

"Think about those two years, Hong Chengchou once forced me into danger. Especially for the first time, I was almost strangled to death by him. If it weren't for the Qi army under my command that he had learned from the time of the army of the King of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the miracle of the Battle of Huajie, I would have probably been wiped out by Hong Chengchou."

"This is the fate. When Fu Ren trained military forces with Qi Shuai on Dalan Mountain, he could only achieve a complete victory in this battle."

"That is, to cultivate the righteousness of heaven and earth, and to perfection in ancient and modern times. It's a pity that Qi Shuai's plan to train the nine-sided troops in Jizhen was not completed, otherwise Jiannu could have the same atmosphere today?"

Li Dingguo expressed his affirmation of Chen Wen's previous record. Chen Wen nodded with a smile and turned to a famous saying he had read before. However, at this moment, Li Dingguo was completely attracted by the first half of the sentence, and Chen Wen could not listen to the second half of the sentence.

"Healing the righteous spirit of heaven and earth, and practicing the perfect people of ancient and modern times. Healing the righteous spirit of heaven and earth, and practicing the perfect people of ancient and modern times."

After muttering both sides, Li Dingguo immediately praised: "This sentence of Fu Ren is very wonderful. As a minister, we should cultivate the righteousness of heaven and earth, and have perfected the ancient and modern methods. Qi Shuai, Yue Wang, and Guan Gong. Fu Ren's achievements over the years are proof of this."

Li Dingguo was born in a poor farmer family. At the age of ten, he was trapped in refugees and valued them as his adopted son. In his early poverty and subsequent turmoil, he did not have the opportunity to learn culture until after supporting the Ming and resisting the Qing dynasties. However, his literary level is actually the same. After all, not all military generals can do good poetry like Yue Fei and Qi Jiguang.

At this moment, Li Dingguo was extremely excited. He stood up and walked back and forth, as if it was not so good that he would not be able to exude his excitement. What Chen Wen said just now was not so good at saying that every word of this sentence, even every horizontal and vertical stroke, and even every horizontal and vertical stroke, entered the heart of this hero who claimed to be loyal to the emperor and patriotism.

Seeing Li Dingguo like this, especially the words "Fu Ren's achievements over the years are a clear proof of this point" entered his ears, Chen Wen's excitement of seeing this national hero who would rather die than surrender began to cool down quietly, and his whole body quickly returned to the cold and hard he usually had.

"It seems that your life trajectory cannot be completely reversed, so all I can do is to make your ending better. Since that's the case, then let me say sorry first."

Li Dingguo's agitation relieved a little, and Chen Wen smiled and continued to greet him. After a while, the greetings were almost done, and Chen Wen began to discuss the important matters with Li Dingguo.

"Brother Li should know that Sun Kewang is now in the prison in Guiyang. I have a memorial and ask Brother Li to hand it over to Your Majesty. We always have to completely solve this problem so that we can feel at ease in the next days."

Hearing this, Li Dingguo also knew that Chen Wen was going to start bargaining with him, so he couldn't help but sit up straight: "Don't Fu Ren intend to send Sun Kewang to Kunming?"

Li Dingguo heard Chen Wen's implication, and Chen Wenzi had no intention of hiding it. He just smiled slightly and then sent Li Dingguo and said, "Brother Li, no secret words, I am here to serve the king this time. However, Sun Kewang's man is in a mixed manner in several southwest provinces, and there are Bai Wenxuan, Feng Shuangli, Ma Jinzhong, Wang Shangli, Wang Ziqi, He Jiuyi and others as close friends. At this moment, it is just my army that they will submit to the court. If Sun Kewang does not die, I will draw tens of thousands of troops in the future and come from afar to come thousands of miles away. Whether to serve the king or to provoke the vassals in the internal vassals, I am afraid I can't explain clearly in the court."

Chen Wen wanted to confirm Sun Kewang's crime of rebellion, and even clearly wanted to see Sun Kewang being executed. To be honest, Sun Kewang still has talents in internal affairs, and it can be said that he is better than those civil servants in the Southern Ming Dynasty, and they are not of the same level at all. However, this person's existence at this moment is a huge threat.

The Yongli court did not dare to use it, for fear that it would become bigger again. After releasing it, it was afraid that it would be used by the Qing Dynasty. After all, this traitor in history was a guy with no bottom line. Chen Wen was not interested in using it. His Jiangsu and Zhejiang Ming Army Group relied on the system to win since the amendment of the military laws and regulations on Dalan Mountain.

Gu Shouli, Qi Xiufeng, Zhou Jingting, Wang Jiang, Sun Yu, Xu Yi, Guo Zhigang, who were from Dalanshan, and Li Yu, Chen Chen, Lu Liuliang, Gu Yanwu, and even middle- and low-level officials like Rong Qian, Xu Meiwen, and Pingyuan can shine even more brilliance under such a system. With the current strength of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Mingjun Group, can these people's efforts under a more complete system be comparable to the so-called talents of the traitor reserve team?

It would be a disaster for this kind of person to stay, and Chen Wen could not ensure that this guy would work hard to cooperate with the Yongli court in order to retaliate against him. Since that is the case, he could only try to let the Yongli court execute him with his own hands in front of him.

After Chen Wenyu said this, he looked at Li Dingguo with a smile, waiting for his answer, but after hearing this, Li Dingguo was really shocked.

It was not a brotherly love. From the martial arts event, to the instigation of Feng Shuangli and Ma Jinzhong in the Hengyang Victory, they did not make an appointment, and then to the repeated attempts to kill him several times. The brotherly relationship when he was Zhang Xianzhong's adopted son had already disappeared. What's more, there was also a matter of loyalty to the emperor, the revival of the Ming Dynasty and the fight against the Qing Dynasty, so there was nothing to say.

However, it would be fine if Chen Wen did not intend to offer a victory in Kunming, but he clearly wanted the court to issue an order to execute Sun Kewang here, which seemed a bit unsatisfactory.

"Fu Ren, Sun Kewang's plot to rebel is well known, and we should believe that the court will take a fair move. If Fu Ren wants to watch Sun Kewang surrender with his own eyes, why not go to Kunming in person to meet the saint in person, so as to avoid the trouble of conveying the news in the middle."

Sun Kewang was a rebellion, a serious crime that was unforgivable. The Yongli court's trial was inevitable according to the principle. Since Chen Wen did not directly execute him like Shang Kexi, Geng Jimao and even Hong Chengchou, then Li Dingguo always had to fight for the sake of reason, which could be regarded as maintaining the authority of the court.

Perhaps, Li Dingguo had a thought of loyalty in his heart, which was "very emperor's dignity" in Yongli, which allowed Chen Wen to meet in person, so that he could have more loyal thoughts. However, when he heard this, Chen Wen immediately burst into laughter.

"Brother Li, do you want me to go to Kunming in person?"

After asking this, Chen Wen shook his head on his own, and then began his own question and answer that Li Dingguo would never forget for the rest of his life.

"I was able to rise in Jiangsu and Zhejiang over the years because I wanted to do things and did not hesitate to overcome all difficulties. Brother Li, no matter what era, it is inevitable to offend people if I want to do things, but now the Tartars have not yet been eliminated, and I still cherish my life extraordinarily. I don't want to end up with the King of Yue."

"But to put it bluntly, there are some guys in this world who want me, Chen Wen. Not to mention anything else, there are no Southeast gentry in the court. Are there any in-laws in the same year? There is no Huguang in Kunming, is Jiangxi a vassal king from other places? Even those of Sun Kewang's gangs are planning behind their backs to kill me so as to recreate the glory of Qin's vassal."

"It is impossible to go to Kunming alone, but if I take these tens of thousands of troops south, even if you Brother Li can believe me, the King of Shu in Kunming City can believe me? To be disrespectful, I just got rid of Sun Kewang's cage, and I am afraid that if I go south, I will be worried if I want to learn Sun Kewang?"

Chen Wen made the words clear and said the truth, but this performance really made Li Dingguo look as if he was ashen. However, he had nothing to refute about this. Even he came to prevent Chen Wen from going south to Yunnan with the momentum of defeating Sun Kewang, and he was speechless.

After a while, Li Dingguo, who was breathing heavily, thought of something, and immediately shouted to Chen Wen: "Fu Ren, you must remember that you are a minister of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Of course I remember my identity, otherwise I wouldn't have come all the way to serve the king. To put it bluntly, Sun Kewang completely disrupted my plan, otherwise I would have launched an army to fight the Northern Expedition at the end of the year, so how could this time be delayed indefinitely?"

Chen Wen's complaint said that Li Dingguo's expression was also slightly relieved, but he didn't know that the word "identity" in his mouth and the identity that Chen Wen said was not the same as the identity that Chen Wen said. What Chen Wen remembered over the years was the mission of being a time traveler, and that's all.

However, Li Dingguo didn't think about it anyway, and it was even more impossible for him to know what Chen Wen was thinking. At this moment, what he was concerned about was the things hidden in Chen Wen's complaints.

"Fu Ren is so anxious to fight the Northern Expedition?"

"Brother Li, given the current situation, if Jiannu escapes from the detention, I am afraid that even if he is leting the stone Yanran, sealing the wolf Juxu, and drinking the horse Tangnu Wulianghai, they may not be able to catch them back and deal with it."

Chen Wenyan was so sure, but Li Dingguo was full of uncertainty. With the strength of the Han family, if he could be as good as Chen Wen said, not to mention Jiannu, even the chiefs of various Mongolian tribes would get the Forbidden City to see the gate. However, Chen Wen also saw that Li Dingguo did not understand, so he began to instill some knowledge about this world into him.

"You mean, this world is a ball?"

"Brother Li, have you never had any interaction with those Thai missionaries on weekdays? Even if you don't talk about those foreign monks, as far as I know, the Queen Mother, the Queen and the Prince have also been baptized. Didn't the eunuch named Pang Tianshou tell you these new things?"

Chen Wen took it for granted, because he didn't know that Pang Tianshou was actually dead. After all, he was a eunuch. Even the military intelligence department focused more on civil and military officials, rather than such people who were not very useful and were easily disparate.

"Pang Tianshou has committed suicide."

"oh."

Chen Wen nodded, then skipped the topic and told Li Dingguo the reason for his thoughts: "There is a country in Taixi called Tsarist Russia. The lord of its country was a vassal of Kiev Rus, the former powerful power in the east of Taixi. Later, the Mongols and the Mongols and Yuan branches were married. After several generations, it became a hegemon. Now it is striving to advance eastward and has long been in war with the Tartars in Liaodong."

"It is not unimaginable if Jiannu was driven out of China, cooperate with him, or get his help to become an enemy with China, or even connect with Mongolian tribes. It should be noted that there is a saying in Tsarist Russia that is to tear off a Russian's face, and you will find a Tatar, and this Tatar is the name of Mongolia that Taisie calls them, and they are all related by blood."

Chen Wen's knowledge scared Li Dingguo. His previous understanding of the world was nothing more than China's embrace of the countries within the tribute system. In the north, we had to fight against the Jurchens and Mongolians, while the Thai countries were from somewhere, and the specific geographical location was unclear.

In fact, in this era, learning Western learning was a fashion among scholars and officials. However, Li Dingguo's origin made him unable to have much connection with these things. Now, after hearing what Chen Wen said, it seemed like he opened a new window.

In this era, Tsarist Russia's erosion of Siberia and even the Heilongjiang River basin was actually only a small-scale existence. Later, the Battle of Yaxa was vigorous. The Qing Dynasty dispatched tens of thousands of war auxiliary soldiers and tribal armed forces, and in fact they were only hundreds of Russian explorers. Without the strength of their country, it would be impossible to provide much support to the Qing Dynasty without the Siberian Railway. Instead of worrying about the joining of the Qing Dynasty and the Russians, it would be better to worry about the possibility that the Qing Dynasty would be more likely to join forces with the Qing Dynasty and the sea coachmen or the Junggar people.

Chen Wen deliberately exaggerated the strength of Tsarist Russia, but it also attracted Li Dingguo's attention. The two chatted freely in the pavilion, and even made people prepare banquets, and they simply chatted while eating. Chen Wen's knowledge impressed Li Dingguo, and Li Dingguo's generousness also attracted Chen Wen's favor. However, no matter where they were talking, their purpose was to bargain with wine and food, because they were not alone, but represented the existence of one force.

"King, let's withdraw from Guizhou like this, and we won't take up any territory in a prefecture?"

After Li Dingguo left, Chen Wen returned to Guiyang's headquarters. Wu Dengke, Ma Xin and other middle and senior generals had already known Chen Wen's plan and had even implemented it in various occupied areas in Guizhou. However, An Youfu, a subordinate who had never served as a responsibilities, did not fully understand this order.
