To be honest, Hong Chengchou actually enjoys his current position very much.Finally, you can lead the army to fight, and it is still a war to expand the territory.In the future, on Tianshan Mountain, at least his reputation will be left behind.

In this way, Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting will not be thrown away too much.If he could make another contribution in the future against Tsarist Russia, with the generosity of the emperor now, he might have a knighthood.

Hong Chengchou thought so, and in terms of specific work, he was preparing according to this vision.For those in Central Asia who refuse to accept Da Ming Ming's power, the young and strong population will be arrested to build roads, and the other population will be used if they can. It is also iron-blooded and ruthless, so that he can have more time and energy to deal with Tsarist Russia.

Don't look at Hong Chengchou as a civil servant, his decisiveness and ruthlessness at critical moments have actually been reflected in his early years when he suppressed the rebellion of thieves.

Hong Chengchou knew that if those rogues were captured, it would be very embarrassing to deal with them later.Let them go back, because they have nothing to eat, they will become thieves again; if they don't go back, the court doesn't have so much food for them to eat; therefore, Hong Chengchou basically keeps no prisoners.He just killed on the battlefield. Unfortunately, if he caught many prisoners, he would turn around and kill them without keeping them overnight.

Needless to say, Hong Chengchou's method was really useful in dealing with the thieves, and he finally became famous in the process of suppressing the thieves. He became an official like flying, and soon got mixed up in the position of the governor of Yansui. superior.

Now, Hong Chengchou's iron-fisted strategy, once implemented in the north and south of Tianshan Mountain, immediately frightened this place, the kind that can stop a three-year-old child from crying.In addition, when Emperor Chongzhen personally conquered the Tianshan Mountains, the tribes of the Oirat tribe who were rescued regained such a wave of popular support, and the population in the relevant areas was gradually migrating. It can be said that the Ming Dynasty was famous in Central Asia. broadcast.No tribe or country dared to come to Hong Chengchou's territory to make trouble.

………………

In the blink of an eye, another year passed. In May of the 24th year of Chongzhen, a large fleet appeared off the coast of Tianjin Port.These fleets, without exception, all hung the flags of Portugal and Ming Dynasty.

On the flagship, a group of people surrounded the two people at the front.One of them was introducing the other, a little girl: "Your Highness, we will land at the port ahead, and then it will take about three days to reach the capital of the Ming Empire. The prosperity of Ming Dynasty is far more prosperous than other European countries. Although I have never been to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, I have heard a lot of it when I was in the Far East. It has only been a few years now, and I believe the difference is not too big. I am happy to introduce you to Her Royal Highness."

Her Royal Highness is the second daughter of Joao IV, named Catherine.The first daughter died in infancy, and Catherine was actually the eldest daughter.If it is the original history, she was married to Charles II of England, and later returned to Portugal as queen regent after Charles II died. The reputation in history is good.

I wonder if Queen Catherine in Heroes Invincible was set up because of her?
At this time, Catherine was only 13 years old.But on the surface, she was serious and reserved.However, when she was in Lisbon, including on the road, and when she briefly replenished supplies in Haojing'ao, she had already heard about the Ming Empire in the Far East, and all she heard was how prosperous it was. How rich.

But in her heart, she still didn't believe it.Could it be that no matter how prosperous Ming Dynasty is, it can still have the prosperity of Paris?
Catherine was thinking in her heart when she suddenly saw a fleet of warships sailing out of a distant port, lined up and waving flags at the same time.

When Anders saw it, he said to Catherine: "Your Highness, I have to meet the inspection of the Ming Dynasty Navy. I will arrange it first."

Catherine listened, imitating his father, Lao Shen nodded and said: "Go!"

In this Portuguese fleet, there are actually only three warships. The others are armed merchant ships, and most of them transport goods.Seeing the Ming Navy warship approaching, they lowered their sails obediently, not to mention opening the gun windows, waiting for the Ming army to inspect.

Anders has a credential, and this time he visited the capital of Ming Dynasty, when he replenished supplies at Haojingao, he had already notified the country of Ming Dynasty. I believe this side should have known about it.

Sure enough, the Tianjin Haiphong guerrilla general boarded the ship and inspected it himself, and after verifying the credentials and other items, he said to Anders: "Your Majesty has an order, Mr. Fang, You Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, is waiting at the port to welcome you." The visit of your princess."

No matter what, it is a country of brothers, and there are still some etiquettes that should be there.However, the rules that should be followed are also necessary.

Therefore, the flagship of the fleet, that is, the ships of Anders and Catherine entered the port with the Ming warship, and the other warships had to go to the military port with the Daming warship to dock.Of course, except for the merchant ships that gave gifts to the Ming Dynasty.

Catherine doesn't care about all these arrangements, but no matter what, she is of course looking at the Ming army.

She found that these warships of the Ming army were very ordinary, not even sailing warships, and she felt that the speed would not be fast, and she couldn't help but feel a little contemptuously in her heart.As far as the navy is concerned, Portugal should be much stronger.It's just that this is in the Ming Dynasty, so there are a lot of warships.

For this much, she still has a little feeling.At least along the way north, she saw many ships from the Ming Dynasty coming and going near the sea from time to time, and there were indeed more lively places than those in Europe.

That's why, when the Tianjin Haiphong Guerrilla General came to greet her, she boasted out of politeness: "Looking at so many merchant ships in Ming Dynasty, it is indeed very prosperous, which makes people yearn for it!"

After hearing this, Anders turned around and translated, and then added a sentence: "I remember that in the past, there were not so many sea ships in Daming. It can be seen that Daming is really getting more and more prosperous!"

The Haiphong guerrilla general was a little surprised when he heard this, and then he couldn't help laughing and said, "That's all old calendar! Since the north-south train has been connected, there have been a lot of sea ships."

Anders was taken aback when he heard it. With his level of Ming Mandarin, he didn't understand what the old Huangli meant, and at the same time he didn't understand what the train meant.However, he probably understands the meaning.

After receiving the salute, the guerrilla general of Haiphong took his leave and returned to his flagship.

Catherine noticed the face of the Ming army general, so she asked Anders curiously, "What did he say? Why do you feel a little disapproving?"

After hearing this, Anders thought for a while before answering: "He said that after burning the car with paper like the old almanac, the number of seagoing ships has been reduced a lot. Otherwise, there will be more."

Catherine was taken aback for a moment, a little disbelieving: "What do you mean? Could it be that there are more sea ships than we have seen before?"

"I don't know!" Anders actually felt that the Ming general was exaggerating, because when he was in Daming, he didn't have so many.But he couldn't tell the princess clearly, so he explained, "It's possible that there was a sea boat with a car on it, and the car caught fire, so that type of sea boat disappeared. So there are fewer sea boats seen today. "

After finishing speaking, he was proud of his quick wit, perfectly explaining the reason of that Ming general!
Catherine still felt that this reason was a bit strange, but she didn't ask any more, and just stared at Tianjin Port in the distance.

Anders stood beside her and said to her: "In this city of Tianjin, about ten years ago, there was a famous battle called the Tianjin Counterattack. At that time, the Ming army hid 5000 troops in Tianjin. Relying on the Wei River to intercept Jianlu..."

Catherine really enjoyed hearing about these wars, but after hearing it, she was still a little puzzled, so she asked Anders, "Why don't you hide more troops in Tianjin City? Is it so hard?"

As soon as Anders heard this, he immediately replied: "Tianjin City is so big, if there are more hidden people, they will be discovered by Jianlu."

"Oh!" Catherine accepted the reason when she heard it, and continued to listen to Anders' explanation, while staring at Tianjin City in the distance with her eyes wide open.

Looking at it, she had doubts again, and she couldn't help pointing to the port of Tianjin City in the distance and said: "No, so many ships are docked, the port can already be seen faintly, it is very big, it must be bigger than Tianjin City. Not too small, right?"

At this time, Anders had also seen it.He was a little surprised that Tianjin Port was much larger than he had imagined.However, in front of the princess, he was unwilling to admit that he was wrong, so he explained: "The war has subsided in these years, so many sea ships come and go, and the expansion of the port is inevitable."

After hearing this, Catherine disagreed in her heart. Even if it is expanded again, how much can it be expanded in less than two years?This is several times larger than the port of Lisbon!

Fortunately, since she was young, she was afraid that her cognition would be biased because of her lack of experience, so she didn't say any more.

Slowly, the battleship got closer and closer to the port, and the prosperous atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty suddenly hit our faces.

Ships come and go near the battleships one by one, and the dispatch of the port, one after another, under the command of the flag, although there are many, it is not chaotic.After the battleship fell into the sea of ​​ships, it felt its own insignificance.

Led by the coastal defense guerrilla warships of the Ming Dynasty, they sailed into a dedicated pier, avoiding the hustle and bustle of the port.It wasn't until she got off the boat that Catherine came back to her senses. It turns out that the port can be so lively, yet orderly?
After she came back to her senses, she was immediately stunned again.She turned to look at Anders and asked, "Didn't you say that Tianjin City has hidden five thousand soldiers and horses? How can this be hidden?"

When she finished asking, she realized that Anders stayed there with a shocked expression on his face.
