Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 146 October [-]st Is a Good Day

On the third day when the entire Shi family was executed.

Zhu Daohua in Guangzhou got the news.

Then he ordered Zhejiang to start action.

And let people send the letter into Hangzhou City.

It was on September 9 that Sun Shiyi received the news that the Jinghaihou family had been massacred.

On September 9, King Ming's letter was delivered to him.

After Sun Shiyi watched it, he sat in his seat for a long time without saying a word.

Pan Shi'en beside him couldn't help asking: "Master, what did King Ming say?"

Sun Shiyi smiled bitterly and said, "Ming Wang asked me to surrender unconditionally and wait for disposal!"

dispose of? !
Upon hearing this.

Pan Shien couldn't help jumping up in shock.

This Jinghai Hou Shi family has just been destroyed.

Now it is said that it will deal with Zhejiang Tuanlian in Hangzhou
As soon as these words were said, people couldn't help but feel frightened.

"Master, is it possible that King Ming just wants to force us to resist, so that we can wipe out all the lands of the gentry in Zhejiang?"

Pan Shien asked in a low voice.

Sun Shiyi couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

"No, no, King Ming has always been kind. The Shi family was slaughtered only because the Jinghaihou family is the Zhu family's mortal enemies. This is inherently a disaster."

Sun Shiyi murmured in a low voice.

"Teacher, if something cannot be done, why not"

Pan Shien pointed to the north.

Sun Shiyi thought for a while, but still shook his head.

"I'm from Zhejiang. Now Zhejiang is a famous place. Why not go to the north?" Sun Shiyi shook his head again and again.

When he was thrown out by Qianlong to hold Zhejiang regiment training.

He knew that he was probably regarded as an abandoned son by Qianlong.

Now there is news from the north, asking Sun Shiyi to try to return north.

Sun Shiyi knew very well that if there were not many people, it was possible to return to the north.

But in this way, it means that the [-] to [-] Zhejiang regiments in Hangzhou have no leader, and it is very likely that a situation that Sun Shiyi does not want to see will happen.

not to mention.

The direct line under him is the more than 7000 Sun family army, but they are all recruited by his Sun family in Jiaxing and his relatives and friends for the officers.

He couldn't just walk away like this.

And even if he went to the north, he could only be a lonely minister, and it was very likely that he would become a knife under Qianlong's hands, doing some extremely offensive things, and then throwing out the top bag at a certain moment.

With such an end, Sun Shiyi didn't want to leave Hangzhou.

But if you stay in Hangzhou, can you have a future?
Where is the future for him and the Zhejiang team training under him who gathered in Hangzhou?
"Five days."

Sun Shiyi looked at the letter from the south with a wry smile.

Zhu Daohua only gave him five days to think about it.

It's war, it's surrender.

A decision is about to be made.

war?
I'm afraid I can't beat it.

surrender.

How will it be dealt with?

This is really anxious to death.

"The Zhejiang regiment's training can't stay here. Now that the navy has figured out a route to the southern continent, Gu Wang's initial idea is to send these regiments abroad for training, to the southern mainland!"

Zhu Daohua was walking side by side with Napoleon and Gu Song.

At this time, Zhu Daohua was on Zhoushan Island outside Hangzhou.

This island is already a training ground for the Ming Army to train dragoons.

They had just inspected the training of several dragoon brigades.

These dragoons will be the main force on the Huainan battlefield next year.

According to the plan for next year submitted by the General Staff of the Grand Marshal's Mansion.

The Ming army will complete the occupation of Fujian, Zhejiang, Hubei, Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guizhou provinces this winter, and expel all possible resistance forces in the local area.

In addition, a series of military expansions will be completed this year.

The army is going to expand its total strength to 15.

And the navy.

It is to complete the launching of 36 Wei-class ironclad ships.

Be prepared to fight with the Europeans—in fact, as Guangdong’s cotton textile industry aggressively entered the Indian market, several of Zhu Daohua’s Western consultants believed that there must be a battle between Ming and Britain around the Indian market.

Moreover, Ming now monopolizes almost all major trade routes between the East and the West, and the Free City of Batam is now one of the biggest pockets of Ming. ,

Driven by this huge interest.

Like the Spaniards who are still entrenched in Manila, the Dutch who have lost their Southeast Asian colonies, and the British who feel threatened by the Indian market.

They are all capable of sending gunboats to the east.

Therefore, the upgrade of the Ming Navy is also urgent.

Fortunately, the shipyards in the Pearl River Estuary now have enough strength to meet the needs of the Ming Navy's warships.

At the same time, the successful development of the breech-loading rifled gun also began to make the artillery of the Ming army enter the stage of upgrading.

Therefore, in this winter, there will be no war on land.

The autumn and winter of next year will be when the Ming army will cross the Yangtze River in a large scale.

"Are these regiments trained to develop colonies? I'm afraid they will lose control in the future." Napoleon said.

Zhu Daohua shook his head and said: "Even if it is out of control, it will be a hundred and eighty years later. What I need is a colony that can share the crowded population of the Han land. As for the future, it depends on the national strength of Ming Dynasty. The national strength of Ming Dynasty is strong. Naturally, there is no need to worry about the loss of control of the colony with the Han Chinese as the main population.”

Zhu Daohua is still confident about this.

After all, Ming's colonization is not the same as European colonization.

Daming had a large enough population, so it was possible to use the Han population to crowd out the aborigines and dilute the proportion of the aborigines' population. In the end, with a multi-pronged approach, the main ethnic groups in these colonies would only become Han people.

"Your Majesty, sending these regiments to train and colonize colonies will cost a fortune." Gu Song frowned.

"Your Prime Minister, don't worry about spending money." Zhu Daohua received, "What we are doing now is preparation for the future generations. Maybe many of these regiments will complain about the lonely king now, but as long as they respect the etiquette, Then their descendants will still be Chinese, and the territory they occupy will still be the living space for our Chinese race to thrive."

Speaking of rituals, Gu Song also mentioned the matter of ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor.

Everyone rebelled with King Zhu Ming, didn't they just hope that one day they would be rewarded from the dragon, and they would be princes for generations.

"Your Majesty, the minutes of the Ritual Making Conference and the outline of the Ming Ritual have basically been completed. The palace of Yingtian Mansion has also been repaired, and Fujian and Zhejiang are about to be taken down. So even if the Ming Dynasty owns the entire Jiangnan, everyone will be able to do so." I look forward to your early arrival at Dabao.”

Gu Song talked about making rituals from the sidelines.

After several months of discussions.

The outline of the Great Ming Ritual has basically taken shape.

The specific content is several big chapters such as the debate between Hua and Yi, monarchs and ministers, suzerains and vassals, and ethics.

Just wait for Zhu Daohua to read it and approve it.

The imperial ceremony of the Ming Dynasty was basically formed, and then under the guidance of the general principles of the Ming ceremony, the various laws appointed and stamped by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty were also formed after discussion at the Ritual Formation Conference.

And this will have to wait until after Zhu Daohua ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor.

Zhu Daohua thought for a while, and said: "October [-]st is a good day, it is very auspicious, let's choose it on that day!"

October [-]st is a good day?

Has anyone seen it?

Why is it a good day?

Gu Song looked at Zhu Daohua suspiciously.

But no matter what.

Since Zhu Daohua said it was a good day, it must be a good day.

There will never be any unsightly Feng Shui master to spoil King Zhu Daming's interest.

October [-]st.

That means there are still ten days left.

Fortunately, before that, Ying Tianfu made all the preparations for the enthronement ceremony.

Just waiting for Zhu Daohua to let go.

Now Zhu Daohua finally let go, and directly confirmed the date.

That's really it.
Gu Song was greatly relieved.

It has been nearly three years since the army started.

Finally came to the point where he was about to become emperor.

Just now.

Come galloping.

"Your Majesty! There is a fast boat from Europa arriving at Songjiang Mansion!"

"Oh?"

Zhu Daohua and Napoleon looked at each other.

"It seems that something happened in Europe."

Grand Duke Lin's returning fleet is going around the Cape of Good Hope.

But before that.

He first sent a few of his subordinates to take a boat from France through the Mediterranean, and then walk across the Sinai Peninsula.

The Sinai Peninsula is now a French colony.

So everything went fairly smoothly.

With the support of the French authorities, a fast ship crossed the Red Sea and headed for the Straits of Malacca.

In Liberty City, Batam Island, I changed to the latest and fastest steam wooden hull boat, and it took a few days to arrive in Songjiang Province.

The whole trip was much shorter than the route around the Cape of Good Hope.

And the speed of the fast boat is also quite fast.

Especially after arriving at the Straits of Malacca, the steamboat on which the rumbling steam engine pushed the paddles, and the speed of the ship at a speed of more than 20 knots made the relationship between the Governor's Mansion of the Daming Strait and the Central Committee of the Daming closer.

When Zhu Daohua arrived in Songjiang Mansion from Hangzhou.

He got amazing news from Europe.

Britain, Spain and other countries formed an anti-Ming alliance.

The fleet targeting Ming may already be on its way!
King Louis XVI of France was arrested, France established a republic, and the first anti-French alliance in Europe was also established.

"The British fleet is still sailing warships. I'm afraid they didn't expect that the current navy of Ming Dynasty is close to the transformation of capital ships with full iron armor!"

said Napoleon.

"They are here to die!"

Zhu Daohua frowned: "I'm not afraid of their fleet, but... Judging from the news from Europe, even if the British are defeated, they are very likely to issue a privateer certificate to block Ming from the Indian market." outside!"

This is indeed a trouble for Daming.

Because Guangdong's cotton textile industry has absorbed a large number of jobs.

A large number of peasants who flocked to the cities because of the tide of tenants are now working as textile workers.

India is an important market for Guangdong's cotton textile industry.

Once the Indian market is closed.

Guangdong's textile industry will face a major blow!

"My lord. Since the British can occupy India, why can't we? We are closer to India!"

Military advisor Tao Biquan said.

Zhu Daohua's eyes lit up.

After walking back and forth for a few steps.

"That's right! India doesn't belong to his British family!"

"The group under Sun Shiyi has a way out!"

"Go, invite Sun Shiyi here, I will give him the wealth of several lifetimes!"
