Chapter 945 Nanyang
"Huayan Kingdom has long been intended to be merged into the Great Yu Kingdom. As long as the emperor can save the people of the Great Yu Kingdom on Cebu Island, he will then let the emperor deal with it."
In recent years, Xiao Qi has quickly gained a respected status in Huayan Kingdom by virtue of his dignity. During this period, he deeply understood the fears of Huayan people. For them, they lived an insecure life. They would naturally not object to being able to merge into the Great Yu Kingdom. "
"This matter cannot be delayed. Since this is the case, I will order the navy of the Great Yu Kingdom to go south and drive the Spaniards out of Cebu, Bohol, Luzon and other islands."
Xiao Ming said loudly.
In fact, even if he didn't meet Xiao Qi, he also had the idea of going south. In the Great Yu Kingdom, the meaning of Nanyang is contemporary Southeast Asia.
For Xiao Ming, this is the back garden of the Great Yu Kingdom. When will it be the turn of the Western powers? Furthermore, the products of the Great Yu country urgently need to open up overseas markets, which makes the status of Nanyang even more important.
Of course, this is only one of them. The most important issue is that he wants to realize the strategy of controlling the Strait of Malacca. Once the Strait of Malacca is in his hands, it will completely block the passage of Westerners into the Eastern Pacific.
Therefore, this time he is ideologically prepared for a naval battle with the Western powers. Only by gaining the right to speak at sea can he nibble on the colonies of Britain, France and Spain in Asia next.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Xiao Qi burst into tears because of Xiao Ming's words. Since he left the Great Yu Kingdom, he has deeply realized how much he needs this country.
Only when the country is strong can they live with dignity overseas, otherwise they are just a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered in the eyes of Westerners.
The reason why the Spaniards massacred the Chinese this time was of course the fear of their own rule being threatened, but another reason was the wealth of the Huayan Kingdom.
The money obtained from business all the year round allows the people of Huayan to live a comfortable life. This rich life is envied by both the Spaniards and the Moro people living in the country.
Although this massacre was fueled by the Spaniards, the local indigenous Moro people also participated in large numbers.
So he reminded: "Emperor, the Moro people on the Sulu Islands also participated in the massacre against us this time. They are by no means friendly people. I hope the emperor can tell the naval officers and soldiers, so as not to be confused by them."
"Molo people?" Xiao Ming frowned. This Moro people is actually the general term used by the Spaniards for the indigenous people living in various regions of the Philippines, and there is a lot of contempt in this name.
However, the Spaniards are very smart. Although they look down on these natives, they have always used them very well. As for these natives, as long as Spain claims that the people of Dayu have stole their wealth, they can create conflicts. This is the usual trick of politicians.
"If the emperor decides to drive away Spain, the rule over Mint and the surrounding islands must not allow the Moro people to gain power, otherwise they will show their fangs one day." Xiao Qi's eyes are still filled with fear, the reproduction speed of these indigenous people Soon, they won't be able to catch up. If the Spaniards are driven out and the Moroes are replaced, their fate will be even worse.
"Do you think I'm not as smart as the Spaniards? Drive away the Spaniards, and the Great Yu Kingdom is their ruler." There was a smile on the corner of Xiao Ming's mouth.
After a pause, he said: "As for you, I will save your life for the time being. You will go with the navy this time, and then you will have to worry about it."
Xiao Qi looked like he was giving his life for justice. He said: "The main emperor can save the people from water and fire, what does it matter to me Xiao Qi's life or death?"
After that, he knelt down and bowed deeply to Xiao Ming.
Seeing this, Fiji sighed slightly, Xiao Ming glanced at him, and said to Xiao Qi: "Go down, naturally someone will arrange to go to Dengzhou Military Port."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xiao Qi bowed again, and then got up and went out.
Watching Xiao Qi disappear, Fiji said, "Your Majesty, although King Ning's death was a complaint, after all, Xiao Qi's father died at the hands of the late emperor, so there is no guarantee that this Xiao Qi will not resent the emperor."
"Since it's an unjust case, it must be overturned. How can you hide your ears and steal the bell because the emperor made a mistake? If the royal family doesn't even dare to bear its own mistakes, how can you rule this country? After you go back, you will start to re-investigate the former King Ning. Give me a detailed account of the case, and if it is true, it will be published in the newspaper."
Xiao Ming said sternly that he did not want to make another mistake because of one mistake.
Fiji was stunned, but he was relieved when he thought about it. Now Xiao Ming has denied Xiao Wenxuan and the previous system of the Great Yu Kingdom, in order to establish a new country and become a different emperor.
After pondering for a while, he said: "Old minister obeys."
After sending the two away, Xiao Ming immediately formulated the imperial decree to go south. Now that the national strength of the Great Yu Kingdom is getting stronger and stronger, it is time to use his fists to get what he wants.
After all, the power of the Western powers in Asia is relatively weak, and it is easier to break through.
After deciding on the strategy of attacking Nanyang, Xiao Ming sent the imperial edict to the steam locomotive to Dengzhou.
That night, the imperial decree arrived at Yue Yun's official office in the military port.
"Great, now our navy has something to do." Hearing that the imperial decree was coming, all the navy generals went to Yue Yun's official office.
The smile on Yue Yun's face also grew stronger. Now that the domestic situation in Goryeo has stabilized, there is no need for their navy to be stationed.
After the Japanese country signed the surrender document, although there were some voices of opposition in the country, because of the presence of the garrison, there were generally no major questions.
And in order to strengthen the governance of the Wa Kingdom, Yun Changfeng, who was previously stationed in Goryeo, was dispatched to the Wa Kingdom and served as the governor.
They are very clear about Yun Changfeng. He is young and promising. He is also the nephew of the empress dowager and the emperor's cousin. Sending him to the Japanese country is enough to see the strict supervision of the Japanese country by the Great Yu Kingdom.
"The twelve warships stationed in the port of Busan are enough to deal with the Korean and Japanese countries. This time the emperor went south to control the South China Sea, so there will definitely be a naval battle with the Western countries at that time. You must be mentally prepared. This is not to fight the Japanese and Japanese countries. The Korean Navy, according to the information provided by the secret guard, the British and the French are likely to have cracked the shells of our navy, so the war will not be easy."
The generals looked serious one by one. They were not afraid, but began to face their opponents squarely.
"General, we are not afraid of those Westerners. As the emperor said, the brave who meet in a narrow path wins, and are afraid of a ball." Liu Chen said carelessly.
Yue Yun nodded with satisfaction, he said, "Very good, your marines are ready, the others go back to check the battleship, and set off in three days!"
