Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 904 Fanwai [-] "Biography of the American Fans of the Ming Dynasty"
In the [-]th year of Qianyuan, the Ming court moved King Qing, King De, and King Chong to North America, and King Ji, King Rong, King Xiang, and King Jing to South America.

The places chosen by these seven vassal kings were all on the east coast of America, which were former European colonies.

But now, whether it is the old Spanish fleet, or the Dutch and British fleets, it is difficult to compete with the Daming Western Navy in the Atlantic Ocean, so Europe can only watch the Ming vassals aggressively join the East Coast of the Americas. In the wave of colonial partition.

It is not an exaggeration to describe the seven vassal kings of the Xinjiu vassal America with aggressiveness.

Different from the older generation of vassal kings in Fan Yingzhou, these seven vassal kings are all the new generation of Ming Dynasty who grew up in Zhaowu and Qianyuan years.

They have been studying in the vassal school since they were a few years old, and through fierce competition, they were able to stand out from the brothers and sisters and become the sons of the vassal prince.

After that, the older generation of vassal kings who failed to pass the selection qualifications for feudal vassals devoted themselves to training them.

Most of the vassal kings who lived in Yingzhou during the Zhaowu period lost their family wealth in the troubled times of the Chongzhen year, and still had distrust of the overseas feudal clan, so naturally they would not go all out.

But now 30 or [-] years have passed, and the vassal kings who have been vassals overseas in the early days are living exceptionally wonderful lives. They are like kings of a country in the fiefdoms.

Therefore, I didn't catch up with the first wave of overseas feudal affairs, and these old-fashioned feudal kings held back their energy to train the next generation.

In addition, these seven vassal kings all grew up under the influence of the new ideas and culture of the Ming Dynasty, and all of them believed in natural science.

Coupled with the fact that they are young, full of energy, and have been preparing for many years, almost all of them have performed very well after becoming a feudal lord on the east coast of America.

The arrival of these seven vassal kings not only further reduced the colonies of European countries in the Americas, but even the three powerful vassals of Ding, Yong, and Shu who had been enslaved to America 20 years ago felt a certain threat...

The 11th year of Emperor Qianyuan of Ming Dynasty, 1679 AD.

North America, British Colony South Carolina, Charleston.

As early as 1526, Spanish explorers arrived and explored this area, but it was gradually occupied by British colonists.

In 1629, King Charles I of England gave the land here to several lords.In 1670, King Charles II of England sealed several lords on this land in order to cope with the increasingly fierce competition for the division of the American colonies.

Also in 1670, these aristocratic lords who gained wealth on this land with plantations and serfs established the British South Carolina, and the port town of Charleston, the first stop of British colonists landing on this land, was became the capital of the state.

At the same time, as a port town with prosperous commerce and frequent shipping, Charleston is also the most affluent town in the state.

However, on the ninth day of March in the 11th year of Qianyuan, this prosperous port town was shrouded in flames of war.

One of the two warring parties was the British army and the other was the Ming army.

But in fact, the armies of both sides are composed of regular armies and lord armies from various countries.

On the British side, the regular army sent by King Charles II of England was only 1000 people, but the leader formed by the British aristocratic lords in South Carolina had more than 5000 people!
Among them, there are more than 1000 white supervisors, and the rest are black slaves.

On Daming's side, there is a battalion (1000 people) of the Marine Corps of the Western Navy, plus 1000 people from Prince Qing's personal army, and more than 1000 mercenaries from various commercial firms and business names that Daming came to North America to open up.

As early as a few days ago, a squadron of the Daming Western Navy had a naval battle with a squadron of the British Navy in the nearby waters.

During the battle, two third-tier battleships of the British Navy were sunk, and the remaining few British warships were able to escape by relying on their familiarity with offshore hydrology.

After that, the Ming army landed and stationed on a small island nearby, and three days ago landed at a small natural port south of Charleston.

The British also wanted to prevent the Ming army from landing.

However, the Ming army moved too fast, and the British only mobilized more than a thousand people in a hurry. Coupled with the gap in equipment and soldiers' combat quality, the British army not only failed to stop the Ming army from landing, but was defeated by the Ming army.

Unwilling to leave this fertile land, the British aristocratic lords gathered together in an attempt to rely on Charleston to fight a decisive battle with the "invading" Ming army.

Thus, there is a scene where Charleston is shrouded in flames of war today...

Five or six miles away from Charleston, behind the Ming army's position, two men dressed in military uniforms similar to those of the Ming Dynasty but with different stripes were looking at the battlefield ahead with a pair of binoculars each.

One of them has gray hair, the other is young and strong, and their facial features are seven to eight points similar. They are the contemporary Qing King Zhu Shiyan and the old Qing King Zhu Qisong who abdicated.

Soon, Zhu Shiyan put down the binoculars first, and said with a smile: "Father, although there are many British soldiers, most of them are mobs. We are sure to win this battle."

Zhu Qisong also put down the binoculars, but said seriously: "Don't be careless, even if it's a win-win situation, we have to minimize the damage as much as possible.

We recruited and trained these thousand pro-army with a small part of our family. In the future, we will have to rely on them to gain a foothold and develop in the eastern part of North America. "

"Father, don't worry, I won't let the troops of Prince Qing's leader suffer any damage."

After Zhu Shiyan finished speaking, he immediately entered the position where Prince Qing was leading the pro-army, ready to personally supervise the battle.

Seeing that Zhu Shiyan was communicating with the generals in the army in an orderly manner, but did not overstep his authority to command or engage in micro-management, Zhu Qisong nodded, feeling more and more that his choice of abdicating was extremely wise.

According to the previous regulations of the Ming Dynasty, each feudal vassal's overseas qualification selection examination was taken by the feudal lords.

Although Zhu Qisong has studied hard at the Zongfan School for decades, the knowledge of the Zongfan School has been updated all the time, and the questions for each qualification selection test are different and more difficult each time.

Therefore, when he learned that the imperial court wanted to confiscate America again, Zhu Qisong decisively applied to the imperial court to inherit the throne in advance.

Because Zhu Shiyan, the eldest son, stood out from several brothers and also studied in the Zongfan School for more than [-] years, he was much better than him.

Speaking of which, he was only a clan from the lineage of King Qing who had almost come out of the fifth service, and his life was not good, but because of this, he escaped the catastrophe when the peasant army massacred King Qing's lineage.

Later, he passed the examination by the imperial court and was able to inherit the lineage of King Qing. Speaking of which, he could be regarded as a prince inherited by his ability, not bad.

However, compared with Zhu Shiyan, who has been studying in Zongfan School since he was a few years old, he is far behind.

After the imperial court allowed him to pass on the throne to his eldest son Zhu Shiyan, other vassal kings followed suit.

In the ninth and tenth years of Qianyuan, some of the vassal kings who were still in the Ming Dynasty were too old to walk.Under such circumstances, even if they can be sealed overseas, it is difficult to withstand the hardships of crossing the Pacific Ocean.Even in the Americas, it is difficult to make a difference.

Therefore, it is better to pass the throne to the young and strong son, and let the new king go to America to work hard.

boom boom boom

The sound of cannons shaking the ground brought Zhu Qisong back to his senses, and he picked up the binoculars and stared nervously at the battlefield.

The Yingyi side gathered 7000 people, twice the number of the Ming army, and arranged several fronts inside and outside the town of Charleston, as if relying on the town to fight the Ming army to the end.

Let Zhu Qisong think that this will be a more intense battle.

Unexpectedly, as soon as dozens of cannons of the Ming army opened fire, the explosive shells fell on Yingyi's frontmost position, and Yingyi's black servants fled in large numbers without even holding up a round of shells.

Some blacks even attacked the positions of the white people in Yingyi—although Yingyi had long been prepared for this kind of situation, letting the whites and blacks stay in different positions, with the blacks at the front and the whites at the back, but it was inevitable after all. Lost the fate of being hit by the rout.

Seeing this, the Ming army first bombarded them with artillery for two rounds, and then let the three armies charge forward, chasing death and chasing north.

Afterwards, it took a whole morning for the British army in the town to be killed or driven out by the Ming army, allowing the Ming army to seize the port town that the British colonists had been operating for nearly a hundred years...
A month later.

The former Charleston has been renamed "Qing City" and has become the royal city of King Qing's domain, and it is currently the only "city" under Qing's domain.

On the newly built city wall, old King Qing Zhu Qisong and King Qing Zhu Shiyan were patrolling together.

"The British barbarians deserve what they deserve for losing their cities and land. They have been here for nearly a hundred years, but they haven't built a city. It's really..." Zhu Qisong didn't know how to evaluate the British.

Zhu Shiyan smiled and said: "My father doesn't know that the British and barbarians first landed in America. They were all tribal native Americans. The weapons they used were only made of wood and bone. They didn't even have metal weapons or armor. No, there is no resistance to Yingyi's knives, guns and artillery.

Therefore, even if the natives came to attack the town at that time, Yingyi could still drive away, defeat, kill or capture the natives with a small number of people by virtue of their huge weapon advantages.

Most of the time, it was these British barbarians who plundered and slaughtered the native tribes, without worrying about their towns being attacked.

So, what do you say they are still building cities for?Isn't that a waste of manpower and material resources?
Besides, the Yingyi are greedy for money. At that time, they probably thought it would be better to grab more property from the natives. "

"So that's how it is." Zhu Qisong nodded, and then said: "Speaking of which, we treat the natives mainly with a naturalization policy, which is much better than the Western Yi. Now we expel the Western Yi, establish a territory again, and naturalize the natives , it can be regarded as helping them avenge."

"That's not true, my son is planning to use this to promote the local people in the territory as soon as possible."

Zhu Qisong nodded in satisfaction again, and then couldn't help reminding: "The most important thing for us is to send someone to visit King Yong as soon as possible.

Although our territory is separated from Yongwang by the Qianhu Office of the North American Capital Division of the imperial court, it is still considered a neighbor.

If we continue to develop to the west, we will probably border on Yongwangling, and we will be neighbors by then.

King Yong is powerful, we have to rely on him now, we must not offend him. "

Zhu Shiyan nodded, "My son understands."

In his heart, Zhu Shiyan was not very convinced.

In his opinion, King Yong was just born better than him, and he came to America 20 years earlier to be a feudal lord.In terms of ability, skill, and insight, they may not be comparable to him.

However, he also agreed with Zhu Qisong's words - King Qing is still weak at the moment, he must not be an enemy of King Yong, he should strive to become his younger brother and hug his thigh.

The only advantage he has over Yongwang Zhu Cizhen is his age. He is only 27 years old this year, but Yongwang Zhu Cizhen is 46 years old.

If Zhu Cizhen didn't live long, he might die in a few years.When the new Yong Wang succeeds to the throne, there will inevitably be some internal turmoil, and his prestige will not be as high as Zhu Cizhen's, and his relationship with the Ming court will not be as close as it is now.

At that time, perhaps the development opportunity for Qing Wangling will come.

In a few decades, his Qing King's Territory may not be as good as Yong Wang's Territory.

In May of the same year, King De took possession of Decheng (formerly Richmond, Virginia) in eastern North America.

In August of the same year, King Chong took control of Chongcheng (formerly Portland, Maine) in eastern North America.

The conflict between the Ming Dynasty and the European colonists in the Americas was completely intensified, and the American Colonial Alliance, centered on the five European colonial powers of Britain, France, Spain, the Netherlands and Portugal, was established, referred to as the European and American Alliance.

The purpose of the European and American alliance is to fight against Ming Dynasty in the Americas. Driven by interests, they fought fiercely with the North American capital, the South American capital, and the vassals of the Ming Dynasty, as well as the firms and firms that came to make a fortune... ·
In the 25th year of Qianyuan (1688 AD), Yongwang Zhu Cizhao died of illness at the age of 61.

The 34-year-old Yongwang Shizi Zhu Heyin succeeded to the throne.

In the first five years of succeeding to the throne, Zhu Heyin also made great efforts to govern, and solved some internal military, political and people's livelihood problems left over from the late period of Zhu Cizhao's reign.

In the 31st year of Qianyuan, Zhu Heyin took Alice, a woman of European and American mixed race, as his side concubine, and then became lazy.

In the 35th year of Qianyuan, Zhu Heyin disregarded the opposition of You Changshi and some of his ministers, abolished the original princess Yang, and changed Alice to be the main concubine.After that, he loved Alice even more, and even made fun of Alice with military affairs.

For a time, there were complaints from the top and bottom of Yongwangling, and the military and economic strength of Yongwangling also declined significantly.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the European colonial forces headed by the United Kingdom seized hundreds of miles of land in the Yongwang Land in eastern North America.

However, before the European colonists had warmed up the hundreds of miles of land, they were attacked by Qing Wang Zhu Shiyan and took away more than half of it.

Under the diligent rule of Zhu Shiyan for more than 5 years, King Qing's territory has not only expanded dozens of times compared to the original territory, but also expanded its pro-army from the initial [-] to more than [-]. The strong fan.

As for the Ming Dynasty's third strongest feudal clan in eastern North America, it was Chong Wangling, with more than 3 pro-armies.

As for the German king's collar, luck is not so good.

In the 16th year of Qianyuan, the contemporary King De was attacked by European and American colonists on his way out for inspection, and unfortunately died at the age of 32.

Afterwards, the five-year-old De Wang's son succeeded to the throne. Although De Wang's subjects were loyal and assisted, the young master could not do anything after all.

Nearly 20 years have passed, although the new King De has become an adult and took charge of the government, the territory of the King De has long since lost the best opportunity for development. Now the territory is only three counties in size, with more than [-] pro-armies, making it the weakest of Ming Dynasty in North America. Even the king of Shu in the west, who has been greedy for pleasure for two consecutive generations, is far inferior.
