The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 573 In fact, I am also the same

Quanzhou Port is a general name.In fact, it is not just a port, but consists of multiple ports.

This is the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road, which was once prosperous in Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties.After the Ming Dynasty, due to the sea ban policy, it gradually declined.

In the Dade period, roughly the same policy as the Ming Dynasty was implemented, so the decline trend of the Ming Dynasty continued.There is no longer such a glorious time as in ancient times.

Nevertheless, due to its profound heritage, it is still one of the famous and important ports in Middle-earth.Many ships from foreign countries still dock here.

Douwei Port is one of many ports.

Not far away, there were sporadic gunshots from time to time. They were soldiers from the First Brigade of the Beihai Volunteer Army, who were attacking Shibosi.

The Shibo Department is the agency that manages the port. Here, it actually also assumes the responsibility of the local government.Similar to the Bukui Yamen, which is a military-government institution, the Quanzhou Shipping Department is a government-business institution.

After the Tianshun Dynasty was established, officials from the Dade era were retained.Of course, the chief officer and the leader of the garrison were replaced by San Francisco's own people.

The garrison here is not many, only 200 people, including seven or 80 navy troops.

The so-called navy is actually not a combat force, but an anti-smuggling team basically composed of tax officials.

In terms of government orders, he obeyed the Fujian chief envoy.

Therefore, the defense force of Quanzhou Port is actually very weak.When Feng Ziying arrived here, the defenders landed easily with almost no resistance.

At this time, Feng Ziying was sitting in a teahouse, drinking tea slowly.

Beside him are three regiment leaders Feng Zipu, Feng Zimiao, and Wei Ruoshan.

Not far away, five people came.

These five people are Wintersweet Flower Xie Baochai, Rose Flower Xie Baoli, Jia Qin and Saivante couple who are already waiting here.

These people all went to France with Jia Min.

Later, Jia Qin, Xie Baoli, and the Servantes couple stayed in France to deal with Beihai's affairs in France.

These affairs mainly include three items.

One is the arms affairs of the Luofu Arsenal, and the other is the trade of tobacco and porcelain from the North Sea in Europe.The other item is the sale of Beihai's wine-making equipment in Europe.

In the past few years, Lameihua has been busy with business exchanges between France and the North Sea. Almost every time, she travels with the fleet and travels at sea almost all year round.

"Chief of Staff Feng, you are late. I have been waiting for you here for nine days."

As soon as they met, Lameihua came over with an exaggerated expression and gave Feng Ziying a French hug.

Although Feng Ziying has never been to France, she also knows the customs there through other people's mouths.Although I was still a little unaccustomed, I still accepted the embrace of wintersweet flowers.

However, when Lameihua wanted to give him another cheeky gift, Feng Ziying avoided it.

"Look, Chief of Staff Feng is still a little shy. If Chief Min is here, he must wish for me to kiss him."

"Hehe, on this point, I am no match for Chief Min."

Everyone already knew who Lameihua was, so they just laughed it off.

After Feng Ziying met with Jia Qin and others, they talked about serious things.

"How about it, Lameihua, have all my ammunition been prepared?"

"Don't worry, three boats are full, enough for you to go to the imperial capital. In addition, two boats are prepared for Chen Yejun. As for Chief Min, he has to rely on himself."

"Officer Min naturally has a solution, so we don't need to worry about it. Well, with the ammunition, I can sweep San Francisco's lair. Jiaqin, Rose, you two can stay with me. Just leave the intelligence affairs to I'll do it."

"Follow Chief of Staff Feng's orders."

"Mr. Servante and Mrs. Servante, you two will go north with Zheng Lameihua to Chen Yejun's place. There will also need a lot of manpower there. You have also stayed in Jiangnan and are familiar with the situation there, so you can help there .”

"I am willing to listen to Chief of Staff Feng's arrangement."

"Three regiment leaders, you go to collect ammunition and camp here tonight. At eight o'clock tomorrow morning, Feng Zipu sets sail and captures Gwangju by water. After entering Gwangju, continue to capture Guangxi and Yunnan. Wei Ruoshan, you and I will capture Fuzhou by water. , and then enter Hunan and Guizhou."

"Feng Zimiao, start from here, conquer Jiangxi by land, and then enter Hubei and Bashu. After I arrive in Hunan, I will stay there and wait for you to reunite, and then go north together."

Feng Ziying completed the arrangements.The three regiment leaders each went to discuss their own military affairs, while Feng Ziying continued to stay with Lameihua and the others, drinking tea while talking freely about the Beihai side's march into Tianshun.

"Chief of Staff Feng, Chief Min has done a great job this time, and it's clear that he wants to fight for world supremacy."

Lameihua is a smart person, as soon as Feng Ziying introduced the operation, she saw the clue.

"The San Francisco went against the law, rebelled brazenly, and stole the world. This time, they must hand over the world."

"Could it be that Chief Min is going to be the emperor?"

"Well. Chief Min didn't say anything. However, if Chief Min is the emperor, it's more than enough."

"Actually, I don't think it's interesting for Chief Min to be the emperor."

Wintersweet said lightly.

"Oh? You are a bit special. In the whole world, who with some ability would not want to be an emperor?"

Feng Ziying was really surprised by Lameihua's point of view.

Jia Min's reason for sending troops to Tianshun this time is actually quite vague.

The clearer reason at present is to avenge his sister Jia Yuanchun and uncle Wang Ziteng.

As for the target of the battle, it is what he said to hit whoever gets in the way, whoever refuses to accept it, and whoever doesn't like it.In fact, he can hit whoever he wants.

According to this standard, Dade and San Francisco were both his combat targets.

Now that Dade is dead, the target of the battle is the old San Francisco and today's Tianshun Dynasty.

According to his strategic layout, it is also a posture to seize the world.

As for what to do after winning the world, Jia Min never talked about it, and never discussed this issue with Feng Ziying and others.

However, this is a problem after all.

The current goal is to overthrow the Tianshun Dynasty.After being overthrown, it cannot be left alone. If the chaos continues, it is bound to clean up the mess.

The way out is actually obvious, there are only two ways.

One is to restore the Daedeok dynasty, and the other is to establish a new dynasty.

At present, it seems that Dade's royal blood is the deposed emperor Zhao Yingqi and the deposed king Zhao Yinglin.

These two people are worthless goods.Whether it is personal ability, morality and prestige, it is not enough to convince the public.No matter who is the emperor, the great virtue after the restoration of the country is not optimistic.

If a new dynasty is established, Jia Min will be the emperor. In terms of Beihai, it is naturally expected by everyone.

Under the strong deterrence of the military forces in the North Sea, other parties dare not say anything.

However, Jia Min himself has never expressed any wish in this regard.

Of course, maybe he had this desire in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud.

For Feng Ziying, Chen Yejun, Wei Ruolan and others, as Jia Min's core team, they would naturally consider this issue.

This is both from the perspective of their joint enterprise, but also from a personal perspective.

Being able to build a new dynasty would give them a huge sense of accomplishment.As the most important founding heroes, they will also reap huge benefits.

Personal and family honor, status, wealth, and place in history are all great temptations.

Therefore, in their hearts, they all hope that Jia Min will become emperor in the future.

In fact, judging from the strategic layout this time, it is indeed this trend.

Compared with this strategic layout, Jia Min's so-called reason for avenging his sister and uncle does not match this grand layout.

Of course, they also knew that even if Jia Min became emperor, it would be a matter of the future.The current goal is to defeat Tianshun first.

"The great virtues are great, great, and many things have been passed down for a long time, and the long-standing evils are deep. No matter who becomes the emperor, it is difficult to change. It is the same with Chief Min. Therefore, being the emperor is purely difficult. An unpleasant job."

Lameihua began to explain her reasons.

"Whether it is Dade or Tianshun, they are different from our Beihai, Bukui, and Wendula. These places are far away from the imperial court, and the imperial court has never had much influence there. That's why Chief Min can follow his own wishes. ideas into reality.”

"What you said makes sense. Chief Min often said that a blank sheet of paper is good for drawing the latest and most beautiful pictures. That's what it means."

Feng Ziying also agrees with the reason of wintersweet flowers.

"But it's different in Dade. If Chief Min becomes the emperor, we will naturally assist him. Whether it is Chief Min or us, when we do things, we should follow our rules, or follow Dade and Tianshun. the rules?"

Lameihua stared at Feng Ziying and asked a rather sharp question.

"Of course it is according to our rules. If we continue to follow their rules, it will be messed up again."

"Okay, Chief of Staff Feng, if we follow our rules, will it work here? At that time, I'm afraid Chief Min and we will be alone."

Feng Ziying's heart was shocked by Lameihua's point of view.

However, he had to admit that what Lameihua said made sense.

Since he followed Jia Min, from doing business, to the military training of the government corps, to the management of Bukui, to the development and management of the North Sea, and to the march into Zhongtu this time, he has actually been acting in accordance with Jia Min's philosophy.

This set of concepts, in many places, is incompatible with the concepts and practices of the great virtues, and some are even outrageous.

It is indeed a huge challenge to bring the concepts and practices of Beihai here.If it is enforced, it will inevitably cause a huge backlash.

The result at that time is likely to be chaos in the government and turmoil in the world.

Although Lameihua was born in South Wendura, she studied in Shengjing since she was a child, and then traveled to various places in Daedeok.

After being defeated by Jia Min, he also basically wandered around in Jia Min's circle, and later followed Jia Min to France, and has been wandering between Europe and Beihai since then, with extremely extensive knowledge.

She is now willing to work for Beihai. The underlying reason is that she agrees with Jia Min's ideas and practices.

The views now presented are truly insightful.

"Lameihua, it seems that I thought about this matter a little too simple. I promise you that I will carefully consider this matter in the future."

"It's good that Chief of Staff Feng understands my intentions. I think Chief Min's responsibility is too heavy and his life is too hard. In fact, I would like to see him live an easier life."

"Lameihua, thank you for your heartfelt words, in fact, I am the same."

Feng Ziying believes Lameihua's words are sincere.

He felt that he had underestimated her a little before.
