Iron Dynasty

ps: There are four more tonight! ! !

"His Royal Highness, I'm back!"

Qi Palace, Qingzhou civil and military officials gathered.

In the center of the main hall, Yue Yun and the rest of the sailors suddenly knelt on the ground, crying bitterly.

Niu Ben and Lu Fei couldn't help being moved when they saw this. When they set off, more than 700 people had returned to Qingzhou. Only 231 people were left in the navy, and two-thirds of the sailors lost their lives in the vast sea.

Xiao Ming walked in front of Yue Yun and helped the navy officers one by one, with warm eyes. He knew that this was going to be dangerous, but these seamen still had no hesitation.

It was such soldiers who had the courage to sacrifice themselves that made his fief as stable as Mount Tai.

Xiao Ming believes in weapons, but what he believes most is his soldiers. Without their bravery and sacrifice, how could he sit in this main hall.

"Soldiers, the king should salute."

Thousands of words only turned into a deep bow in Xiao Ming's heart.

The eyes of Yue Yun and the others were red, but their expressions were still firm. They shouted in unison: "My glory is loyal. For your Highness, we are not afraid of death or sacrifice, so that one day His Highness can no longer let the people of the Six States no longer suffer. Outsiders bully!"

"Yue Yun, you are tough guys, I admire it!" Lu Fei shouted loudly.

"We admire it!" the other generals shouted at the same time.

At this moment, Yue Yun finally couldn't help the tears in his eyes. His mother died in the hands of the Japanese pirates. His crew was attacked by the British fleet on the sea. After that, under Wilson's leadership, they escaped from the British fleet.

I did not expect to encounter the Dutch fleet while crossing Ryukyu.

At this time, they had been hit hard and they had almost no ability to counterattack. With a mortal heart, they sank a Dutch warship, but their ship could no longer sail and could only run aground on an uninhabited island.

If it hadn't been for the Cao family's fleet, they probably wouldn't be able to return.

He hated the country and the country, and he carried too much alone.

Xiao Ming patted Yue Yun's shoulder again, and he said: "This king knows that you are suffering, and the sacrificed soldiers will not die in vain. This king will get back ten times a hundred times, and the people of the Cangzhou battle will not die. This king will also get back ten times a hundred times. The northern expedition of the barbarians and the eastern conquest of the Japanese kingdom to seize maritime trade routes will be Qingzhou’s strategy for the next few years!"

"The northern expedition barbarians, the east conquest of the Japanese country!"

All the officials present were shocked, and Xiao Ming formally proposed the next strategy for the first time.

Yue Yun gritted his teeth and said: "His Royal Highness, we are all waiting for your words. Your Royal Highness knows something. Now there are Western warships on the sea. Whether they are ships or weapons, they are much stronger than Great Yu. In my opinion, only our Qingzhou warships can compete with it."

"Everyone in the Cao family has told this king that the Western powers are expanding their sphere of influence to Great Yu, so now we must first solve the barbarians in Youzhou, so that we can concentrate on seizing maritime trade routes."

Pang Yukun nodded, "The barbarians are in great trouble, threatening the hinterland of the great Yu country all the time, and it is inevitable."

Yue Yun said: "During this period of time, a large number of Galen ships can be built to prepare for future naval battles. I must throw the Dutch and the British into the sea to feed the fish."

Xiao Ming smiled and patted Yue Yun on the shoulder, what he needed was such fighting spirit.

Facing the crowd, he said: “This time, taking advantage of Yue Yun’s return to talk about these two things, this king has ordered the Equipment Department and the military workshop to cooperate with each other to increase the output of flintlocks. The barbarian expedition, the old general, in addition to commanding the Qingzhou army, you will now immediately draw elites from the six states army to cooperate with the Qingzhou army's joint training, and at the same time form a car camp."

"Yes, Your Highness!" Niu Ben shouted his orders.

"Pang Yukun, in addition to the government affairs of the various states, the government has to cooperate with the shipyard to produce the Galen ship, so it has to be slow in terms of money and food."

"Yes, Your Highness." Pang Yukun replied.

"Chen Qi, Lu Tong, the lime bomb can be handed over to you, and the king wants to see the field gun during the expedition."

"Yes, Your Highness."

After issuing a series of orders, Xiao Ming cast his gaze to the north.

The northern expedition of the barbarians was a plan and was also a last resort. The Jizhou people's rebellion became more and more fierce. At this time, the active attack was only an offensive defense. After all, if the barbarians took the opportunity to go south, Jizhou might be vulnerable.

And he believed that the barbarians would definitely not let go of this chance of chaos in the great Yu country. At that time, Jizhou was defeated and he would suffer the enemy back and forth, which he did not want to see.

So he made up his mind to expedite the barbarians to the north, set up a car camp to form the first obstacle to the barbarians in field battles, and asked Chen Qi to develop light field guns.

Jointly formulating the future plan for Qingzhou, Xiao Ming announced the rewards for Yue Yun and other naval generals, and at the same time let Yue Yun take his seat.

Knowing that Yue Yun came back today, he deliberately set a celebration banquet in the palace in order to catch the wind and dust for Yue Yun and others.

Only after the banquet did he summon Yue Yun alone.

"His Royal Highness, it's a pity that Wilson was killed by the Dutch during the naval battle. Otherwise, Your Royal Highness can personally hear him talk about the current situation in the West."

"It doesn't matter, you can come back, this king is already satisfied."

Yue Yun was moved when he heard the words. Xiao Ming cared so much for the soldiers, and he felt warm in his heart, thinking that even if he died in battle, it was worth it. Then he remembered something and gave Xiao Ming the translator's booklet.

Xiao Ming opened the booklet for the translator to record the problems, and his eyes scanned after the questions he listed.

After reading these narrations, he basically understood the current world situation. The invasion of Europe by the northern steppe tribes hundreds of years ago also broke the Europeans' understanding of the world.

After that, the progress of European civilization seemed to have undergone earth-shaking changes as if it had opened up. Scientific development is changing with each passing day, and various scientific discoveries have emerged one after another.

These scientific changes have further promoted the advent of the great maritime era in Europe. First, the Americas were occupied by Europeans, and then Southeast Asia and East Asia.

According to Wilson's explanation, after the Dutch occupied the East Asian trade route, merchants from other countries have been banned from entering this trade route ~www.wuxiaspot.com~. It is precisely because of this that few foreign missions go to the country. .

However, the Dutch are declining in recent years, replaced by Great Britain, France and Prussia, and because of the problems of Protestantism, European countries are also full of contradictions and frequent wars.

Wilson also explained the current level of science and technology in the West, which, in Xiao Ming's view, is the level of the modern mid-eighteenth century.

Some people in Great Britain have proposed a steam engine and are trying to develop it.

For the issue of the butterfly effect, Xiao Ming could not calculate what effect a slight deviation would have on the overall situation, but for him, the world now has a completely different history except for the three kingdoms before and after.

Both Europe and Asia have already moved on a completely unfamiliar track.

At this time, Xiao Ming suddenly realized that apart from maintaining the same geographical environment, this is just a strange world, a more dangerous world.
