Chapter 3: The Rise of Great Powers 202: The Kingdoms 5

Since the queen went, Liu Ji often sat quietly in front of the Buddhist temple. He did not believe in Buddhism, but the curling cigarettes, the sound of wooden fishes of "Duoduo", the solemn Buddha statues of treasures, and the scent of the ethereal temples filled Liu Ji's heart with tranquility, allowing the faint pain in his heart to dilute.

The third queen has passed away. This time, Liu Ji held a grand ceremony. During the burial day, the queue for seeing off the queen was long queued for several miles. There was a lot of crying in the capital, and there was no color in the entire capital.

Sitting on the cushion, Liu Ji put his hands on his knees and looked at the Buddhist paintings on the wall in a daze.

Good fortune is so fast, time flies, and time goes by twenty years in the blink of an eye. Liu Ji remembered the imperial tomb that was famous for its water leakage in history - Dongling. The Dongling is now not leaking at all and is very strong by Liu Ji. Of course, Yinghe would not be punished for the repair of the tomb. However, Liu Ji remembered that Dongling was not because of his strength, but because of the last time he said goodbye to the queen in Dongling, which made him feel sad.

Liu Ji couldn't help but think that after he cut down a large amount of eunuchs, he handed over the inspection of the food in the harem to the imperial guards. This problem really came out. Who would have thought that the snacks brought to the queen by the queen's sisters were poisonous. The soldiers responsible for checking the food have been punished, and the security check regulations have become more severe, but what's the use? The queen has gone.

Just as Liu Ji closed his eyes slightly and silently endured the sadness in his heart. Cao Jinxi came in to report: "Master. Wang Ding, the minister of the 6th Army, asked for a meeting, and there was also Prime Minister Du Shoutian in the place where he walked.

Liu Ji didn't like this sadness. He stood up as if he was a little fleeing and said coldly: "Let them come to the Palace of Peaceful Hearts."

Liu Ji knew that Wang Ding was here to report on the situation of the new army. Over the past period, the newly appointed minister of the sixth minister was very busy. Now, the military weapons and military supplies and local affairs of the Ministry of Works have been handed over to the 6th Army Department, and the Ministry of War is also integrated with the 6th Army Department. Wang Ding is worthy of being a member of the Ming minister during the Daoguang period. He has good ability to do things and is loyal to his work. Liu Ji is very pleased.

Thinking of state affairs along the way, Liu Ji's sadness suddenly disappeared. Once these hundreds of thousands of troops were trained, China could get at least 30 years of peace and peace, and some lost lands could be recovered, such as the Daze and southern Tibet. However, if this team really wants to form combat power, it may have to wait until next year.

Wang Ding was already waiting in the Yangxin Palace. Seeing the emperor coming, Wang Ding had to bow and bow. After the ceremony, Wang Ding came forward and said, "Your Majesty, I am here to report on the recruitment of the army today. Now the recruits from all over the country have been recruited, and these recruits have been sent to training units in various places. Due to the huge number of recruitment this time, the grassroots officers from various towns have drawn many people to train recruits in various places. The recruits will be sent to various established units after half a year of training. The resignation work of the Green Camp military severance is also going smoothly. Many Green Camp troops are willing to establish a reclamation farm in Xinjiang. Several northern troops have been sent to Kulun. The troops who go to Kulun have subsidized some property according to local rules. "

Liu Ji nodded and said, "Dingjiu must pay attention. After the disbandment of the Green Camp, the new troops in various places have not yet returned to the team. The public security work cannot be left behind at this time. You must know that problems often occur at this time."

"Don't worry, the police camps in various places are still there, and there should be no serious damage if Admiral Cheng trains."

"Then I will work hard to make it nine. After these days, you should take a few days off and don't get tired of your body."

"I dare not, the emperor is still tired even if he is busy every day, let alone his subordinates."

"See you said, this person was not a machine bought from the West. I have to adjust it."

Seeing that Wang Ding had finished reporting, Liu Ji stepped forward and patted Wang Ding on the shoulder, encouraging Wang Ding a few words.

He sent Wang Ding out. Du Shoutian was summoned in. As soon as he entered the hall, Du Shoutian smiled and said, "Your Majesty, how did the Dutch express his opinion?"

Liu Ji smiled and before he could speak, Du Shoutian quickly said: "When the Dutch heard that Lanfang's company already belonged to the court, he quickly found the map and wanted to draw a clear line with my Qing Dynasty."

Speaking of this, Du Shoutian wanted to pull away the map he carried with him, but was held down by Liu Ji and brought it to the wall. He pulled open the black satin curtain and a world map that occupied the entire wall was revealed.

Du Shoutian stepped forward to find the location of Kalimantan Island in Southeast Asia and said: "This island is occupied by Britain except for the north, and now the Dutch have given them all to our country."

Liu Ji stood in front of the map with his hands behind his back, looking at the island that was about the size of Qinghai Province and asked Du Shoutian: "The Dutch have no requirements."

"The subordinates agreed to give the Dutch ten thousand boxes of tea and 10 thousand silk. In addition, the trading ports that will be opened to the British will be opened to the Dutch."

"This is the best, after all, using force is a last resort."

"Has the news been sent to Yuanfu?"

"It has been sent over, and Lin Zhongtang also sent a letter here."

"What's the situation with Lanfang Company?"

"Something happened over there. It happened that the Dutch also sent an envoy to the place. The local Chinese were divided into two factions. Some wanted to surrender to the Dutch, and some wanted to return to the court. The 1ooo Hu Ben, whom Lin Gong accompanied, happened to be useful at this time. These people, led by Hu Linji, invited the Dutch to send a lesson to the Dutch. However, Hu Linji's way of hiring people was a bit rude."

Liu Ji laughed at the ear, "Please" should probably be replaced by "Catch".

After laughing, the room was silent for a moment. Liu Ji asked Du Shoutian: "Zinong thought, how should the land of Lanfang Island be managed?"

Du Shoutian immediately reacted and said happily: "The name of the emperor is good. Since Lanfang Company is located in the local area, it is better to call Lanfang Island. As for how to manage it, my subordinates thought it was better to send one person to the local government as the governor, and manage it in the Singapore way. In addition, the local area is suitable for planting, and you can immigrate to the local area to open more land for cultivation. Moreover, the gold mine on the island is a good source of wealth. "

Liu Ji thought for a while and said, "The gold mines on the island are handed over to Lanfang Company to manage, so that Lanfang Company will still exist. However, in the future, Lanfang Company will only be a businessman organization and can no longer be in charge of the specific affairs on Lanfang Island. Cheng Tinghua will lead the infantry in the two towns to go there."
