The ancestor of the last days exploded after being reborn!

In the fourth year of Li Chengmu's accession to the throne, which was also the fourth year of Xuande, the conflict between Shen Du and the Persian Empire escalated. Suddenly, the two countries were once again at war, especially in the major cities adjacent to the two countries. The war was washed away, everywhere There are ruins and ruins, and refugees are everywhere.

Just as the two countries were fighting for life and death, the Persian Empire sent envoys with a large amount of gold and silver to Dayu's homeland to purchase firearms from Dayu's court.

Li Chengmu only hesitated for a moment before approving it.

Feng Tu, who is currently the Minister of War, saw the instructions and hurried into the palace with the memorial. In the imperial study, he expressed his worries.

"Your Majesty, if the Persian Empire obtains this batch of firearms, will it have any impact on our march into the Middle East? Once we confront them in the future, if they resist, they will inevitably cause irreparable casualties to the imperial troops."

Li Chengmu knew what he was worried about when he heard him asking for an audience. After hearing his worries, he still said without hesitation: "Since they have brought a lot of gold and silver to buy with sincerity, you can just sell it to them."

After hearing this, Feng Tu became anxious, thinking that the emperor only cared about immediate interests: "Your Majesty."

Li Chengmu raised his hand to stop his next words, "What you are worried about is nothing more than worrying that Persia has firearms, which will inevitably cause unnecessary casualties to the imperial court in the future when it marches into the Middle East."

Feng Tu wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed, "This is exactly what I am worried about."

After hearing this, Li Chengmu couldn't help but smile: "Your worries are justified. It's just that in addition to black powder, the materials for firearms now also include newly developed white powder. We only sell black powder to external parties."

People who know the two gunpowder formulas know that white gunpowder is more powerful than black powder.

Moreover, white gunpowder burns cleanly, but black powder will remain, so the barrel of the gun needs to be cleaned regularly after use. Not only is it troublesome and time-consuming, it also greatly affects the service life of the firearm.

In this way, by the time the war between Persia and Shendu ends, the firearms Persia bought this time may have been worn out, so there is no need to worry about them being a threat to the imperial troops.

Hearing the emperor's explanation, Feng Tu breathed a sigh of relief and had a smile on his face. As long as it had no impact on his country and could still make a lot of money, who wouldn't be happy?

"In this case, I hope they buy as much as possible. The court just needs to replenish the treasury, and we are short of gold and silver."

Li Chengmu thought about the two tigers fighting between Shendu and Persia. In the end, there was only one possibility, that is, both sides would lose, and he felt happy just thinking about it.

Speaking of weapons, he spoke again: "Nowadays, rifled guns have been popularized in Dayu's army. The number is so large that it can be said that they were built with the efforts of the whole country in the past few years. Recently, the R&D Department has developed a new type of musket, which can be said to be rifled. An upgraded version of the gun.”

"An upgraded version of the rifled gun?" Feng Tu was shocked. Why didn't he, as the Minister of War, hear about this?

"Yes, mass production may begin next year at most, and a large amount of funds will be needed by then. The gold and silver from this transaction can just fill this gap. In the future, all rifled guns and rifled cannons will definitely be eliminated. When they are eliminated, this The batch of rifled guns can be sold abroad again, replenishing the national treasury."

In this way, the capital chain of the R&D department will not be broken, and R&D can be supported sustainably, making Dayu stronger and stronger and invincible.

After receiving such good news, Feng Tu was so excited that he could not wait to go to the R&D department to see the upgraded version of the rifled gun.

But before he could suggest it, Li Chengmu seemed to remember something again and said, "Oh, by the way, there are also the remaining troops of Banggela who fled to Shendu. If they also need to buy firearms, our people can also sell them to them." A group of them, let them carry firearms to cause harm to the body."

When they have done enough harm, they can send three groups of troops to sweep across the continent.

These defeated soldiers happened to be the ones who opened the way for the imperial court to advance westward. Being the pioneers could be regarded as their contribution to Dayu.

"Speaking of which, the heavy troops stationed in Muyue State may not be sent to the battlefield for the time being. The war between Shendu and Persia is currently in a stalemate, and he can't care about the rear." As he said this, Feng Tu looked at Li Chengmu who was looking up, with a look in his eyes. With hope, "Your Majesty, I think the war between these two countries may not be victorious in a year and a half. It is better to take advantage of this time to let some of the heavy troops stationed there go out and take the sea route to seize the territory along the Red Sea coast." ?”

Last time I heard the Empress Dowager say that the importance of that geographical location is that if we capture it early, we can recruit local migrant workers to start construction as soon as possible. When the canal is opened, it will be the time when they will fight for gold on the Day of Yu. Such an important thing, It can now be put on the agenda.

Xia Jing was currently stuck in Nanyang building islands. She didn't know that someone had already mentioned her idea first and the court was preparing for it.

As for the big food country far away in West Asia, their kings were gloating when they heard about the war in Persia. But while they were singing and dancing in peace, they didn't know that war would befall them soon.

Dayu's fifty steam fleet set off from Zheer Port in Muyue Prefecture, passed westward through Little Glan Port at the tip of the Indian Peninsula, then crossed the Arabian Gulf to Mugudushu, and then diverted to directly attack Dayu on the east side of the Red Sea. Food country.

What made the country of Great Food unexpected was that Dayu, a country far away in East Asia, actually traveled thousands of miles to raid their country. There was no enmity between the two countries. Why?

If we say that their country is rich, most of their country's land is the Gobi Desert. Even the robbers who come to rob think their country is poor. Did Emperor Dayu of the East take the wrong medicine?
The people of the Great Food Country could not figure it out, and they could not allow them to think too much. The weapons of Dayu's army advanced smoothly with crushing power, and the war continued all the way to their capital.

The elite army of Dayi was like paper in front of Dayu's army.

This world is so crazy. Why are there such powerful weapons out there?

Even the matchlock guns they bought from the Xiyi people for a lot of money were simply weak in front of Dayu's army.

Such a weapon is a weapon that the Dashi army can only dream of obtaining.

Under this crushing blow, Dashi's elite troops were unable to withstand the offensive of Dayu's army, and the country of Dashi was swept away.

Why Dayu's army swept across Dashi on the east side of the Red Sea instead of attacking Egypt on the west was completely analyzed by Li Chengmu. He felt that Dashi's national power was not as strong as Egypt's, and he only picked on the weak.

When the Persian Empire got the news and learned that Dayu's expeditionary army had conquered the Kingdom of Dashi, they were shocked. They were fighting to the death, but behind their own back, Dayu turned a corner. Take the back road.

Looking at our own country again, we see ruins, dilapidated buildings, and the people are in dire straits, and I feel a little cold in my heart.

Will they continue fighting with Shen Du or will they cease fighting?

They must fight after paying such a high price, but why do they feel that there is a wolf in front of them and a tiger in the back? The situation seems a bit bad.

It's like two tigers fighting in the deep mountains, while a pack of wolves are waiting for opportunities around them. No matter whether they win or lose this war, they seem to be a feast in the eyes of others.

Persia was dumbfounded, this feeling was terrible.

While the Persian Empire was frightened, Dayu had already captured Dashi and recruited prisoners of war to dig soil and build canals.

The operations of Dayu's expeditionary army left the Persians scratching their heads. They wondered why Dayu spent so much effort on the expedition?
If you don't get any benefit, why do you still pay to come so far away to build canals for the food country?
If Li Chengmu knew Persia's thoughts, he would definitely sneer at him. He was not a philanthropist. In Dashi, Dashi provided money, food and manpower to build the canal.

In addition, they had to pay tribute to the court every year, so he mercifully allowed them to become Yu's vassal state.What can stop Dayu's expeditionary army in today's world is never how strong the enemy is, but the logistical constraints and the influence of the climate.

From the day this canal is successfully built, Dashi will no longer need royal control and will be under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court.In another ten to twenty years, maybe a vassal king can be assigned to come here to manage this area.
-
The fleet led by Xia Jing was stationed on the islands in the South China Sea, but the food they brought was not much consumed along the way, so they sent Hong Fuzhong to lead about [-] ships to Luzon.

Nanyang grain is harvested three times a year, and the Luzon Islands are Dayu's grain base in Nanyang.

When Hong Fuzhong arrived in Luzon and learned that Dayu's expeditionary force had captured Dashi, he was immediately overjoyed. He quickly asked people to load food and other supplies onto the ship, and then led the fleet in a hurry back to Chongyu Island.

The island chosen by Li Jingfu was called Chongyu Island because they were the Emperor and Queen Mother of Dayu.

"Are you saying that the imperial expeditionary force has captured Dashi Country?"

Xia Jing was originally a little surprised to see Hong Fuzhong coming back so soon. After learning the news, she was so surprised by Li Chengmu's decision.

"Master, this news is absolutely true." Hong Fuzhong was afraid that Xia Jing wouldn't believe it, so he brought back Dayu's newspaper.

Xia Jing took it, looked at it, handed the newspaper to Li Jingfu, and exclaimed: "It's true, I can only say that Xiao Wu is really fast."

Now on their island, only her temporary palace has been built in this valley, and a large number of workers are currently building Li Jingfu's palace not far away. It will take at least half a year to complete the entire equipped house.

Xia Jing wondered if she could go back first and come back after the place was built.

just
It seemed that even after Xiao Wu left them, he could still manage Dayu very well. He had already possessed the courage and domineering power that an emperor should have.With or without Dayu, they are all developing in a good direction.

Li Jingfu read the newspaper and breathed a sigh of relief: "Now you don't have to clamor to lead troops to attack the Red Sea. Xiao Wu doesn't need your orders, he has already done it. And that place is dry and rainless, and the weather is hot, so it is really not suitable for you to go there. Life, just listen to me, we will vacation on this island, and when we want to go back to Dayu, we can go back to Dayu to see them. Isn’t this the most perfect arrangement?"

Xia Jing leaned on the soft couch and waved her hand for Hong Fuzhong to step back.

Hong Fuzhong glanced at Ye Fei who was standing aside, bowed his head in agreement, and slowly withdrew.

After the others retreated, Xia Jing raised her eyes and looked at Li Jingfu, "There is a piece of news on the other side of the newspaper. Did you pay attention?"

"What news?" Li Jingfu turned over the Di newspaper. The headline on the front page clearly stated that it was the follow-up news about Li Chengli's resignation.

Li Chengli was sailing on the sea and met the official ship bound for Dayu in Penang in the Strait of Malacca. He took the memorial with him and returned to Beijing, indicating that he had passed the Strait of Malacca.

And Di Bao published the news.

Xia Jing was both pleased and a little disappointed, "Xiao Wu is now able to deal with political affairs and is able to cope with it freely. Sure enough, the young eagle will eventually grow up after leaving the mother eagle."

Li Jingfu paid the rent for the residence, and after listening to her words, he chuckled and said: "The child can already stand alone, but you always think that he has not grown up yet, and scold him like a child. Now you finally know, in this world No one can survive without him."

"Apart from anyone, the sun still rises in the east and sets in the west." Xia Jing suddenly stood up, stretched and said: "You are right, you rest here first, I will go to Xiazhou Island to see what's there How is the construction going now? Let’s see if my eldest brother encounters any difficulties!”

When Li Jingfu heard this, he became anxious and said, "Hey, your eldest and second brothers are watching over you on Xiazhou Island. How can there be any difficulties? But on our side, I, an old man, can't take care of such a big thing!"

Xia Jing walked out of the palace and replied without looking back: "You can manage a country, but you can't manage a small island?"

"..." Li Jingfu touched his nose and looked at the master and servants who were walking out. He turned around and asked Anu for words: "You said she went out in a grand manner, even grander than the grandeur of the Supreme Emperor. Do you think I should do it?" Also choose a few more people to serve?"

Anu looked up at the rafters and said that even if you wanted to find someone to wait on you on this desert island, you wouldn't be able to find the one you like.

It was already sunset when Xia Jing arrived at Xiazhou Island by boat.
Xia Qingshan did not expect that Xia Jing would come at this time. As soon as he heard the report, he hurried to the seaside pier.

"Why are you here at this time today?" Xia Qingshan carefully observed her face and asked tentatively: "Did you quarrel with the Supreme Emperor?"

"Why do you think so?" Xia Jing was stunned by his words.

Seeing her expression, Xia Qingshan seemed to have misunderstood, so he smiled and said: "No, if the married daughter returns to her parents' home, if the time is not coincident, it will inevitably make people think too much."

Xia Jing was speechless after hearing what he said: "Brother, the Emperor and I are an old married couple, how can we still quarrel?"

Even if she is in a bad mood, she can't quarrel even if she wants to, because she has always regarded Li Jingfu as a partner. How can she quarrel with her partner without doing business?
Moreover, when their island is built, she is planning to find an island with a good environment and make it her own.

It can be seen from today's Di newspaper that Xiao Wu doesn't need her now. In the following days, she can let go and live for herself.

In this case, why did she find trouble to get angry and quarrel with Li Jingfu? That was not asking for trouble for herself.

Xia Qingshan took a look at the environment on his island and changed the subject: "I'm here to stay for a few more days. There are some deficiencies on our island. You are welcome to point them out to me."

Xia Jing glanced at him, smiled and readily agreed: "Okay!"

"When the construction here is completed, I can go back home at the end of the year. After the New Year, I can take my family over for vacation and experience the exotic scenery of Nanyang!"

Xia Jing had no objection to this, "You can make arrangements for this matter. I'm just worried that my parents may refuse to go to Nanyang and insist on staying in Lingnan."

Xia Qingshan is not too worried about this: "Mom and dad, when they get older, they like to have their children and grandchildren around their knees. The children are here, and they will follow them if they don't want to come."

Otherwise, the two old men and women are left to guard the Lingnan mansion and stare at the little ones?
Xia Jing imagined that scene and laughed unkindly: "It doesn't matter if this is the case, it doesn't matter if the whole family comes to Nanyang, we can take care of each other!"

It’s just that in the future, during the New Year and holidays, it will be difficult for those royal relatives in the capital to see them again.
