Dominate the Country

"Can the Spaniards really give up such a large territory?"

Chen Hui looked at Chen Ming's demarcation and felt that it was deeply unreliable. Chen Ming's appetite was so big that he swallowed up all the territory in Beitou. Can this Spaniard endure it?

"This is not the Spanish homeland. Why can't we bear it?"

"All these territories combined are not as powerful as Havana." Chen Ming, however, was very confident and pointed at Cuba.

"In the previous Seven Years' War, the French lost large colonies in India, Canada, and the east bank of the Mississippi River. The political status of the French in Europe was greatly reduced. However, Louis XV knew the consequences and still agreed to the agreement. Although his own reputation It stinks a lot, but I don’t see any commotion within them. “For European countries, colonies are just the hair on their skin.

If there is no skin left, how can the hair be attached?

Chen Ming's slaughter of the Spaniards this time was much lighter than that of London's slaughter of Paris, and Spain was no better than France. More importantly, Spain has no interests at all on the east coast of North America north of San Diego, and Houston doesn't even have a city. New Orleans should just go to bed.

Put together, the importance of these lands to the Spaniards cannot be compared with Havana. Even if multiplied by 2, it cannot be compared with Havana, which is rich and flowing with honey.

The Europeans developed colonies in order to make profits, replenish the domestic market, and then create a sales market. Although they call the Americas the New World, colonies are colonies. No country, not even Britain and France, truly treats America as its homeland. The big duck's gaze is even worse than that of the Gallic rooster and John Bull.

"Father, you can rest assured. My son can guarantee this news. The Spaniards will surely submit." This meant that Chen Hui could relax and no longer have to worry about his son's territory. As an elder brother, Chen Ming will definitely take good care of those little brothers.

However, this leakage of information is not allowed.

"My son is going to seal off the second child first." The Xiajiazhou Peninsula is in his hands. As long as he opens his mouth, he will immediately become Cai Guo.

When Chen Si gets married, he can be sealed.

But the news about the third and fourth children cannot be easily revealed. "My son wants to use this kingdom as a carrot hanging in front of him, tempting everyone to work hard and move forward."

Then on the same day, Chen Hui summoned Chen Si into the Yanshou Palace. No one knew what the Supreme Emperor said to King Cai. Anyway, everyone saw that after leaving the Yanshou Palace, everyone saw that King Cai was dancing with joy and almost flying. .

Three days later, a piece of news spread in Nanjing.

——The feudal status of King Cai has been decided.

Another day, more accurate news came that King Cai's feudal state was Xiajiazhou.

Although that place is not as good as Tokyo or Hanjin, it is still a big place. Moreover, at the north end, a large piece of land was allocated to King Cai. The Colorado River was used as the boundary in the east, and it included San Diego and the Salton Basin. Chen Si was overjoyed after looking at the map. .

Although that land does not receive much rainfall, especially the east coast, it is a bit dry. The Salton Basin is not a good place, so at first glance, many places in the area are deserts. But if you think about it carefully, you will find that the coast here is rich in marine species and fishery resources. Minerals are also available. The entire eastern coastline is covered with mountains stretching for thousands of miles, and there are still a lot of minerals.

The northern part of his area completely covers the Salton Basin. This large piece of land alone is enough for millions of people to thrive.

Chen Xi was very satisfied with this piece of land.

Moreover, there was one final point. This fiefdom fell to him for nothing. The emperor threw it away without Chen Si paying a single extra price.

"This bastard third child, if he doesn't make progress, he only knows how to be clever."

But after the fiefdom of King Cai Chen Xi was announced, Chen Ming was 'harassed' by the third child Chen Xi, yes, harassed. Chen Xiu and Chen Xiu are almost the same age, only two months apart. Chen Xiu had a fiefdom, and Chen Xiu also hoped that his fiefdom could be settled as soon as possible.

Chen Ming was really a little scared of being pestered by this shameless brother. Why hadn't he noticed that Chen Zhe was so thick-skinned before? It was a book published by Hongguoguo praising Chen Ming that day. All kinds of good words were piled on Chen Ming's head, such as "the reincarnation of the Holy Lord and the emperor for eternity".

In all the Chinese dynasties, except for the shameless Manchus, no one dared to give the emperor the posthumous title of "Holy Ancestor". Well now, Chen Han has a Chen Xuan, and he directly calls Chen Ming the emperor of eternity. Even higher than Kang Mazi,

Chen Ming was so embarrassed when he called for the first time. Goosebumps appeared on his arms.

But this can't make Chen Ming change his mind. He wants to use the fiefdom behind for 'fishing'. It wouldn't be revealed just because of Chen Zhe's two kind words.

It is true that Chen Xi and Chen Xi are still young, but they have uncles and uncles behind them.

The natal families of these concubines were also relatives of the imperial court. Although they were not as prominent as the natal families of Chen Ming's harem concubines, no one would look down upon them. If you want to use the word "unlimited scenery" to describe the natal family of Chen Ming's harem concubine, then the concubine's family is not outstanding, but the benefits are not less.

Now is the time for these people to stand up and ‘serve’ the imperial court.

For example, at the charity fund-raising meeting next month, he will ask Li Xiaomei to personally post posts to those people.

Although there is a ranking among the brothers, in Chen Ming's opinion, he can "reward" anyone next time. His goal is to use the next "fiefdom" to motivate the rest. Now it is the third brother. He hopes that Chen Yan can work hard and then get the fiefdom in a grand manner. Instead of just flattering himself!

Anyway, there is still time. Chen Yan's actual age is younger than Chen Ding.

As for the weight in his heart, the third brother is the same as the second and fourth brothers. The fifth, sixth and seventh brothers have the same weight in his heart. "They are all my good brothers", he would say.

Chen Ming did not want to see the third brother, but his meaning had to be conveyed. When Li Xiaomei came to Yanshou Palace again, she found Chen Yan's mother and said that the army should come back one after another in the next two years. At that time, let the third master come to ask His Majesty for a job. When he gets it done beautifully, His Majesty will be easy to deal with.

After hearing this, the concubine excitedly sent someone to greet her precious son. Chen Yan has now left the palace and has his own house.

Compared with his mother's happiness, Chen Yan's brain activity is not small. How old is he? The princes of Chen Han are not like those in previous dynasties. They can participate in government affairs in their teens. What's more, he is the brother of the emperor, not his son.

"This is what the emperor meant. This is not to ask me to really ask for a job, but to make me bleed." Chen Yan said this to his grandfather. His uncles were sitting next to him. His grandfather was his biggest supporter.

Chen Yan and Chen Yan have awkward identities. Except for their uncles, there will be no other loyal people under them.

Chen Yan's brain is not stupid. When the army comes back, what other jobs will he do? In addition to paying money.

The faces of several people in the room all showed painful expressions. No matter how much money they had, it was not enough to fill the hole in North America, so how could they be divided to fill the hole in Nanjing. But judging from the emperor's intention, Chen Yan would not be able to do it without paying more.

"The second son is really lucky." Chen Yan had never hated his ranking as much as he did at this moment. It would be great if he was ranked second. The emperor wanted to choose a role model, and the second son was the biggest advantage.

Although the fertile land of Jiazhou could not be compared with that of North America, the second son did not shed a drop of blood.

Isn't this a "deal"?

Chen Yan didn't think about what would happen decades or hundreds of years later. He only wanted the present. Chen Yan had a big advantage at the moment. This is a solid benefit.

The room was silent for a while.

This is the difference between the father being the emperor and the brother being the emperor.

The old and the young were thinking about things in their hearts, and finally their thoughts all turned to one question - how much meat should be cut?

One or two taels is fine, but one or two catties will kill you...

Chen Ming didn't pay attention to Chen Zhe's affairs for the time being, he had a lot of things to do.

But Chen Zhe is already making plans for the future. What can he "do"? The best thing is to show off without any trouble, and no one is competing for it.

There are also different ways to give silver. Some can put the silver in the sun, shining brightly; some throw the silver into the water, only hearing a sound.

Chen Zhe then pulled the fifth brother, Chen Lu, who was conferred the title of King Xue. Among the two brothers, Chen Zhe and Chen Lu have the best relationship. Their mothers also support each other in the harem.

In the royal family, everything starts from interests, but Chen Zhe and Chen Lu are indeed on the same side. Allies are not all friends.

Chen Ming's gesture to Chen Zhe was not just for Chen Zhe himself, but for the entire group of princes.

They are very different from Chen Cong, who is a true founding hero, and will definitely be clean and tidy when the country is restored.

"Think about it, we are just so old, what can we do? We have to spend money in a way that makes us look good, right?"

It is really different to have a biological father and not have one.

Chen Yan is now ready to bleed heavily, and his pursuit is just to be able to 'spray blood' beautifully.

Chen Lu also thought about it, and this matter has fallen on his head, "Don't think about things like rewards based on merit, it's not our turn. The pension thing is not possible either, the logistics department is watching closely, and people are vying for jobs that involve money. There are no good jobs left."

The damage in this battle in North America will not be too great, but it will not be small. It is really not the turn of the two empty princes to ask for help.

Chen Yu thought for a moment and asked Chen Lu: "What about the disabled soldiers? I'll go to the Disabled Persons' Federation. What do you think of me doing this?"

Chen Lu's eyes almost popped out: "Third brother, are you taking the wrong medicine? What do you want from such a thankless job?" Disabled soldiers are a strong group, because they have made contributions to the court and shed blood for the emperor, who attaches great importance to the pensions of disabled soldiers. But at the same time, they are also a vulnerable group. After all, they are disabled, so there may be many tricks in the Disabled Persons' Federation.

"You haven't figured out what His Majesty means? If I don't do something big, will he let me do what I want?"

"Old Five, why don't you also submit a petition to follow the third brother, and the two of us will join forces to wipe out the Disabled Persons' Federation. It can be regarded as a legacy before leaving."

"We can't fall behind those little ones." This matter is not to say that Chen Yu's high ranking is natural, there is competition, and he really doesn't have as good luck as the second brother Chen Yu.

After the Lantern Festival, Chen Ming spread the news. If everything goes well, the first batch of people to return will be back in August or September. By then, will the army be assembled in Nanjing now, or will the soldiers go back to where they are, and only the leading armies will enter Beijing?

Moreover, there is news that the emperor will hold a military parade in the eleventh year of Chengtian, and the parade team will be teams brought back from North America, Burma, and Southeast Asia, but no one can say for sure.

Chen Ming originally thought that what those little brothers were trying to do was to announce the good news, such as declaring who should be rewarded, who should be promoted, who should be nominated for promotion of military rank, etc.

What he didn't expect was that those little guys didn't grab the job of announcing the good news, but they did grab the job of offending others.

"They are all smart people." They are all cunning.

In the Song Palace, Chen Cong was urgently summoned by Chen Ming, and then quickly rushed to the palace.

The streets of Nanjing are still covered with snow, and the first lunar month is approaching. At this time in previous years, early winter in the south of the Yangtze River turns to spring, and green buds sprout, but this year it snowed again. This weather is absolutely abnormal.

In Nanjing, only the streets have been cleared of snow. The alleys are still the same. Pedestrians will slip if they are not careful while walking. When the sun shines, the blackened snow will turn into sewage. .

The palace of the Song Dynasty was not very far from the palace, but the emperor summoned him urgently. He led his people and walked quickly. Soon many people in Nanjing knew that something big had happened. The emperor urgently summoned the Song Dynasty King. Now the Song Dynasty King was running away in a hurry. Went to the palace.

Li Xiaomei sat by the lake and watched a few little guys skating. Thanks to the heavy snowfall in the first month of this year, the ice on the lake has not yet melted. She doesn't know how to sneak away, but some of the little guys do.

Roller skating has been around for more than 20 years, even earlier than Chen Ming's time travel. The inventor is a Belgian musician.

But how can the development of roller skates in Europe compare to China, which has the guidance of travellers? Even though China's roller skates of this era cannot be compared with those of the 21st century, roller skates with ball bearings are definitely the most technologically advanced roller skates in the world.

A roller skating rink was also opened in the amusement park that Chen Ding prepared for his younger brothers and sisters. Not only the princes and princesses in the palace liked this sport, but also many nobles and nobles also liked the thrill of this kind of speed. Similarly, this game is also being transported to private aristocratic schools. High-tech roller skates are not cheap, and public schools cannot afford to buy large quantities of roller skates.

At noon, the weather turned cloudy and there was a slight wind even though there was no sun. Only then did Li Xiaomei lead a group of little ones back to the temple.

When she asked about the fact that Chen Ming had not come out of Qianqing Palace at this time, she called Chen Ding, who had returned to the palace on vacation, to come and have a meal together. "Father has summoned King Song into the palace. It's been three or two hours and he still hasn't come out." Something big must have happened. But Chen Ding couldn't think of anything happening in this world that could cause his father to have a closed-door conversation with the chief minister for three hours.

Li Xiaomei frowned. When she took a few little ones to go skating, she heard someone report that the emperor was angry. But Li Xiaomei didn't pay much attention to it. There were a lot of unpleasant things going on in the world, and it was common for the emperor to get angry.

Just like at the end of last year, Zhangjia III was kicked to Tibet by him, asking him to discuss with the great lamas of Tantric Buddhism and change the style of Tibet, those human skin books, human skin drums, human skin drums, He didn't want to see the disgusting sacrificial rituals such as oil lamps, human bone instruments, human intestines, five meats, five nectars, etc. anymore, and threatened not to force him to 'change' them himself.

There is also the issue of rocket leaks...

Therefore, Li Xiaomei had seen too many situations where Chen Ming was angry, but she didn't care.

But now her heart was not only lifted.

It was not until 2:30 in the afternoon that Zhang Dayong sent someone to the reception center to talk to Chen Ming. The conversation was almost finished, and asked the Queen to arrange the meals. This was very easy for Li Xiaomei, so she opened her mouth and said: "Stew a black chicken. Make a pot. "It's cold now, just like the coldest months of winter. It's warm to eat in the 'big winter'."

Li Xiaomei cleared her throat and asked the eunuch who sent the message, how did King Song look on his face? Chen Ming is the emperor. You can't ask Chen Ming directly. If you want to avoid taboos, ask the people who are with him. If Chen Ming was in a bad mood, King Song would never laugh.

The eunuch who was sent to deliver the message was also a smart man. He immediately said, "My slave, I see that King Song seems a little unhappy."

This matter is really ‘big’.
