Miaoyu accepted the fact that she was betrothed to Feng Ziying well.The princess's marriage was originally a transaction of power and power. The lords and nobles were cleaned up too much, and a big princess alone was not enough to appease people's hearts.What's more, how can the eldest princess compare to her adopted daughter of the queen?Not to mention a lot of money in his hands, he won the emperor's trust.

When Concubine Yizhong and Lin Daiyu were worried about her, Miaoyu was doing what she should do calmly—she was ready to hand over what she had to the emperor at any time.

At this time, Qianxiang, a vassal state, took military action against the suzerain state.

Also.

In the interstellar era, it is proper to intervene in the sovereignty and internal affairs of other countries, but in this era, in the world of Red Chamber, the eastern standard is like this, and the suzerain country is bound by it. The vassal state is an important guarantee of peace.

The problem is that Qianxiang Kingdom is located in the south of the Kingdom, and has frequent exchanges with Westerners, so it is inevitable that it will be impacted by Western thoughts. In addition, the leader of Qianxiang Kingdom and many ministers have wanted to be independent from the Kingdom for a long time. Naturally, Western missionaries Under the influence of the country, it is not surprising that they have the idea of ​​competing for sovereignty with the suzerain country.

Qianxiang Kingdom suddenly sent troops to attack the country, which caught the king of Xining County who was stationed in the south by surprise.In addition, the country has been in deficit for a long time, and when there is a shortage of money in hand, even the emperor can only look after the north first, not the south, resulting in a serious shortage of the southern army both in terms of armament training and personnel.

The situation of the southern army eating empty pay is really too serious.

Several layers of reasons superimposed, and the south was in dire straits again and again, but Feng Ziying was entrusted with an important task and led the army to the south.

It was a miserable victory.

Rao Feng Ziying had tried his best, but because the seriousness of the southern army was beyond his expectation, and most of the northern troops were not suitable for naval warfare, Feng Ziying finally paid the price of his life.

The king of Xining County, who was rescued by Feng Ziying and returned to the court, jumped up and down, and joined forces with the remaining four kings and eight princes to write to the emperor, proposing to marry Miaoyu.

The emperor was furious: "Feng Ziying sacrificed her life for the country, Princess Duanhui should have been in mourning, but you want Duanhui to get married?!"

The emperor walked away.

The king of Xining County came to lobby Feng Ziying's father Feng Tang again.

When Feng Ziying was at home, she was rebellious and often confronted her father. Every time Feng Tang was furious, he wanted to kick his son a few times when he saw his son.But Feng Ziying is Feng Tang's son after all, Feng Ziying's body is not cold here, even if the old nobles and nobles headed by the king of Xining County plan to marry Feng Ziying's unmarried wife, how can Feng Tang not be angry?

At this time, the news came that Princess Duanhui had become a monk and was in mourning for Feng Ziying, which completely turned Feng Tang's heart to the emperor's side.

Feng Tang was ordered to quickly lead his army to surround the capital with the wind and thunder, and then arrested and imprisoned the old family of nobles and nobles headed by the King of Beijing and the King of Xining County. Tang killed him on the spot.

After the mutiny, the emperor issued an edict to count the four kings and eight princes—except for the rest of the Ningguo Mansion—the family of nobles and nobles headed by the state treasury. Not only the treasury was empty, but also the military equipment, which led to the lack of pay for the southern army. Seriously, the actual number of troops is less than one-tenth, resulting in a situation of losing power and humiliating the country.

Among them, King Beijing escaped because he was the adopted grandson of the emperor, but Princess Beijing and side concubine Zhen were executed, and King Beijing was also trapped in the palace.

In the edict, the emperor issued the final punishment for these families:

Demoted as an official slave, he will not be pardoned.

At the same time, these people and their relatives were sold into slavery to make up for the shortfall.

The country was shaken.

Who would have thought that even nobles like Princess Nan'an and Princess Xining would be betrayed by officials?

Because it was so unimaginable that the eyes of the whole country were focused on this matter, successfully covering up the news that the country had established a military town in the south.

The eyes of the world were all on the official sale, even Jia Amnesty took the time to buy Mrs. Jia Zheng Wang's family back and sent them to Jia's mother. Naturally, no one found out what the empire was doing in the south.

The warships blackmailed from Korea in the past are still serving in the army, but the countless gold and silver treasures brought by the suppression of pirates have made this navy that belongs to the emperor fattened up.No one knows better than them what is meant by "one sound of the horn, ten thousand taels of gold", and no one knows the wealth overseas better than them.

If they hadn't been busy stabilizing the long coastline from north to south, from Goryeo to Wa Kingdom to Liuqiu to Luzon, Java and other vassal states, Qianxiang Kingdom would have had no chance to cause chaos.

In other words, everyone at that time overestimated the situation of the southern army of the empire, which led to that tragic ending.

Now, with the emperor's order, warships came out of the Jiangnan Dockyard, which had been working hard since the Zhen family fell, one after another. The eight giants of Shaanxi borrowed a large sum of money as military pay, while hiring Japanese ronin as pioneers, while expanding their navy, they rushed towards Qianxiang country aggressively.

At this time, the strength of the great powers can be seen at a glance.

Although there are lords and nobles, when the monarch of a country has made up his mind, when the whole country is united in the same hatred, nothing is a problem.So what if Qian Xiangguo has been preparing for this for at least 30 years?It is to accumulate a lot of money, but the absolute difference in population limits the total number of troops, and in the case of big countries, a steady stream of money is invested in this warship, and one living life after another is smashed on this land.

The population of more than 3000 million and the small size of the country have created the character of the ronin who are not afraid of death, and because of the fragile economy of the country, the purchasing power of the big country's copper coins is very amazing in the country. The final result is - countless rogues Willing to work hard, just for a sum of money and food that is much richer than that given by the Japanese daimyo.

Millions of vagrants from the Japanese kingdom were thrown into the Qianxiang country, causing the country to flow into rivers of blood, and also severely deterred the countries of Southeast Asia, as well as the Westerners who came from afar.

The Manlaga Strait fell into the hands of a big country, and the big country set up a military port here, making Manlaga the southern gate of the country. This was beyond the expectations of all Westerners.

You must know that although the Western Ocean has entered the era of great navigation for a hundred years, they are only active in the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean, and they have just extended their tentacles to the Far East.

But now, their tentacles have been cut off.

Red-haired Westerners, blond-haired Westerners, chestnut-haired Westerners, and even black-haired Westerners, all Western armed merchant ships united and launched an attack on Manlaga, just hitting the Nanyang who was always ready. In the urn of the sailor.

Although the admiral of the Nanyang Navy had received a secret order, his precautions were just routine. He was very suspicious of the secret order, thinking that it was impossible for Westerners to be enemies of a big country.

But when the Westerners launched an attack, the admiral of the navy reacted quickly and sent out the news in the shortest possible time.

The country and North Korea that received the urgent report no longer have any doubts.

The court was also arguing endlessly for Miaoyu's big fight before, and some people asked the emperor to punish Miaoyu. Although the emperor tried his best to protect his daughter, his ability was limited. After persisting for more than two years, even the emperor began to think whether he should stop At that time, this urgent report from Nanyang changed everything.

——Fortune comes from the sea, and danger also comes from the sea.

The famous words of the eunuch of the Three Treasures in the former dynasty, which became well-known again through the mouth of Miao Yu, finally came true.

Now, everyone in the court knows that Manlaga is the most important maritime gateway of the empire. If this place is not guarded, every city on the long coastline of the empire may become the target of Westerners.

No one in the court opposed the establishment of a military town in Manlaga. At the same time, the development of Nanyang Islands proposed by Miaoyu aroused the interest of many businessmen and the dignitaries behind the businessmen.

The treasury of the Qianxiang Kingdom made the eight major merchants in Shanxi and Shaanxi earn a lot of money, and Miaoyu's name as the God of Wealth resounded throughout the business circles of the country and dynasty.

This princess likes to make money?

What kind of problem is this?It is human nature for a princess to look for something to do since she is a widow at a young age.It's just that Her Royal Highness Princess Duanhui prefers to make money.

It is not a crime to have special hobbies, like to run industries, and like to do business.As long as Her Royal Highness abides by the rules of doing business, any businessman is willing to cooperate with her.

Not only Shanshan and Shaanxi business giants, but even southern business giants have begun to contact Miaoyu.

Through Miaoyu, Guochao's armed merchant ships cruised on Guochao's sea, the North Sea, the Bohai Sea, the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea, and the South Sea...

Korean ginseng, Japanese pearls, gold and silver, Japanese satin and even population... all kinds of resources were continuously transported back to the country.To the north of the Yangtze Estuary, the maritime trade that has been prosperous since the Song Dynasty ushered in spring again.At the same time, Liuqiu and the Nanyang trade to the south of Liuqiu have also been greatly developed.

All kinds of spices, pearls, gems, ivory...

These things are not only highly sought after in the West, but even Guochao is liked by some people.

Commercial prosperity brought huge tax revenues to the country.When the agricultural tax fell to the second place for the first time in a hundred years, even the emperor was stunned, let alone the emperor who lived in the deep palace for several years.

A few years later, the Taishang Emperor's hair was completely white, his face was full of dimples, and he was very old. He only had a pair of eyes, which seemed to be poisoned. Granddaughter killed.

If the Taishanghuang still doesn't know that the emperor's betrothing Miaoyu to Feng Ziying is a scheme against him, then he is not the Taishanghuang who once forced the emperor to make a human-shaped stamp.

The Supreme Emperor didn't like the emperor, and hated Miaoyu even more, because he knew that the emperor was not his opponent at all, and it was Miaoyu who really tricked him and made him lose his power completely.

Therefore, even if the current treatment is the same as in the past, many times the emperor would rather short his own to meet the needs of the Supreme Emperor, but still cannot eliminate the hatred in the Supreme Emperor's heart.

Therefore, this year, the Supreme Emperor said that he couldn't bear Miaoyu to lose the ancient Buddha at a young age, and he wanted to choose a son-in-law for Miaoyu.
