Chapter 813 The Emperor Is Very Busy

On June 3, Wu Changqing received a memorial for the completion of the negotiation.

He looked at it in detail and felt that there was no problem, so he put the memorial aside and picked up the other two copies of the memorial.

These two memorials say the same thing.

One of them is a protest letter from the Portuguese ambassador Michelo, and the other is a battle report from the navy, which records the process of the Dahua navy's capture of the estuary (Singapore).

Mikilo said that Dahua's occupation of the estuary was an invasion and a declaration of war against Portugal.

However, the navy said that the shelling of the estuary was because the Portuguese refused to dock for supplies.

There is no right or wrong in what the two sides say.

In the eyes of the Portuguese, they occupied the estuary, and the estuary was Portuguese territory.

However, in Dahua's view, the Hekou place did not originally belong to Portugal, and he only asked to stop for supplies. Although his attitude was not very good, his request was completely reasonable.

Portugal's refusal is completely intolerable.

So, Dahua's navy fired a few cannons, trying to scare the Portuguese. The Portuguese thought it was an invasion and chose to fight back.

So, a war started like this.

At the estuary, the Portuguese also built coastal defense artillery to block the strait, but these artillery pieces were no match for the Dahua artillery.

After banging for half an hour, the Portuguese hurriedly fled into Lingbao.

But the problem is that when they built the fort, the range of the artillery was only one or two miles.

Therefore, their Lingbao is only five miles away from the sea.

And now, Dahua's artillery, the farthest can hit seven or eight miles.

The Portuguese castle was completely shrouded in Dahua's artillery.

Afterwards, Dahua bombarded their Lingbao with artillery, and after blowing the hole, the river mouth was taken down by two charges.

In addition to killing more than 200 Portuguese and more than 300 local indigenous people, the remaining 2,000 people were captured by the Chinese army.

This battle, from the outbreak of the conflict to the end of the battle, took less than a day in total.

The Portuguese built the Lingbao for a year or two, and it became vulnerable under the huge artillery of the Chinese army.

The impact of this incident is still quite large, at least after other Western European countries discover it, I am afraid that they will not be so keen on building a castle in the future, but will be keen on researching artillery technology.

Even if you want to build a castle, you have to stay away from the sea as much as possible and not be exposed to the fire of warships.

That's what happened. The Portuguese regarded it as a top priority to negotiate with Dahua. After Wu Changqing glanced at it, he put it aside.

He is a dignified emperor of the Hua Empire, there is no need to explain anything to the Portuguese messenger, the people of the Ministry of Rites will send Mikiro.

In fact, there is no need to appease, anyway, the Portuguese can only protest with their mouths, and it is impossible to take practical actions.

This is an era that is tougher than fists, and countries even take this kind of bullying of the weak for granted.

Just like what they did in America, it was bullying.

The next memorial is about the North Korean rebellion.

After two months of suppression of the rebellion, the rebellion in North Korea has been completely wiped out.

The group at the head has all been executed.

The one who took the lead was called Cui Shanjian, a name that Wu Changqing didn't remember, and he wasn't a big man after all.

The rebellion subsided, and Dahua took this opportunity to severely attack a wave of old aristocrats and gentry in North Korea.

After two suppressions, the gentry class in North Korea has been reduced a lot, and the rest are ordinary people who are disciplined and disciplined.

These people are the fastest group of people to integrate into Dahua.

Although this rebellion caused some losses, the overall advantages outweighed the disadvantages.

In the future, basically no one will want to separate North Korea, and Dahua can build construction in North Korea with confidence.

Wu Changqing then read the next memorial, from the Navy.

The Navy's advance team, in the process of exploring Australia, discovered a treasure land, Java, which is Jakarta in later generations.

The rice here is three crops a year. More importantly, the soil on the plain is a sedimentary layer formed by volcanic ash. The soil is extremely fertile and it is a good place to nurture people.

However, this place has already been taken by the Dutch, and the navy asked for instructions, hoping that Wu Changqing would agree to attack Jakarta.

At this time, the national strength of the Netherlands was much stronger than that of Portugal, and the war with the Dutch had a great impact, and it was easy for Western Europeans to perceive Dahua's ambitions and be alert.

Therefore, the navy chose to ask Wu Changqing for instructions before the attack, and could not make decisions without authorization.

Wu Changqing thought about it for a while and asked the navy not to move Jakarta for the time being.

For the time being, Dahua does not have so many adults available for immigration, so there is no need to worry.

After a few more years of recuperation, those teenagers will grow up, and Dahua will be able to start a large-scale immigration wave.

Put down this memorial, the next one is about civil affairs.

Gan Zhu, the left servant of the Ministry of Household, hoped that Wu Changqing could give some funds to build water conservancy and prevent flood disasters.

In the past few years of Dahua's founding of the country, God has given him face.

Although the north is getting colder, the climate in the south is at least not too bad, at least there is no particularly severe flooding.

This is not easy. You must know that flood disasters were commonplace in China in the past.

In the past few years, Dahua has only experienced some small floods, so that some officials have forgotten this hidden danger.

On the other hand, Ganzhu was still thinking about it. He felt that Dahua’s finances were loose, and he could take the opportunity to build some dams, clean up the river, and build some flood control water conservancy projects, just in case.

In this regard, Wu Changqing chose to agree.

He has no shortage of money. As for the workers, it happens that there are nearly 100,000 prisoners in Annan, and a batch can be requisitioned for use, and the labor problem will be solved.

If you have money and people, you can naturally do some century-old projects.

Flood control is really a century-old project.

Even if the technology is so advanced in later generations, it is impossible to completely solve the problem of flooding, let alone the current one.

The next memorial is the plan of the Army General Staff to enter the Shaanxi-Gansu area.

Although Wu Changqing did not plan to recover those places in the near future, the people in the Army did not care, and the plan that should be done would still be done as usual.

In this way, at least it can appear that they are doing things, rather than leading the salary to eat.

What's more, if the plan is made now, once Wu Changqing agrees, they can act immediately.

The memorial at the back is still half a meter high, so Wu Changqing chose to rest for a while.

Those trivial things in a small village can make a village head restless.

Not to mention an empire with an area of ​​more than 6 million square kilometers and a population of 160 million.

Dahua has endless things to deal with every day, and Wu Changqing's desk has never been empty.

Many things that are very important to other countries may not be dealt with for several days because they are piled up in the memorial.
