"Your Majesty the Queen! This is General Wu from the Ming Dynasty. The artillery and firearms that defeated the Spanish fleet were produced by his factory." George stood up straight and introduced to the Queen of England.

Wu Sangui hurriedly knelt on the ground. In his understanding, a queen was almost the same as an emperor. But he didn't understand how to make a woman become the queen for the majestic British Empire. What do men do for food?

"Hello! Wu. This is not your Ming Dynasty. You don't need to practice such etiquette." The Queen of England looked very friendly, with a slightly wide mouth with a perfect arc, and a smile showing eight white teeth.

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Queen!" Wu Sangui raised his head and looked at the Queen sitting on the throne!

In the Ming Dynasty, if you dare to look at the emperor like this, it is a disgrace before the emperor. If you catch up with the emperor and he is in a bad mood, you will be in big trouble.

The Queen of England's skin is very white, a dazzling white, and you can clearly see the cyan blood vessels on her neck. There are a few freckles on her face, but not many. What impressed Wu Sangui the most was the crown inlaid with various

A crown of precious stones, especially the huge ruby ​​on top, which is as big as an egg. It looks like a piece of clotted blood hanging on the crown.

"Wu! Your weapons are very good. This time we were able to defeat the Spanish fleet, and your weapons were indispensable. Whatever you want, ask for it. I can satisfy you as much as possible!" The queen also looked Wu Sangui up and down,

This was the first time she met the Ming people from the distant east.

"Your Majesty the Queen! I request you to send your invincible fleet to attack the Ming Empire in the east. Li Xiao, the current actual controller of the Ming Empire, is a cruel guy. He enslaved the people of the Ming Dynasty like enslaving cattle and horses. He will also surrender my

My father was imprisoned and tried to kill me many times.

The Dutch Kingdom of Java was only too oppressed by the Ming Dynasty maritime merchants, which aroused fierce resistance from the people. As a result, Li Xiao forced King Annan Ruan and sent Annan soldiers to bloodbath Java.

Many people died in Java, and tens of thousands were captured in the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty chopped off their heads and hung them on the city wall to show their martial arts. Her Majesty, you are the messenger sent by God to the West. You cannot

Seeing tens of millions of people struggling under tyranny, rescuing them is the mission given to you by God." Wu Sangui spoke with great emotion, and even shed two tears when he got to the emotional point.

Wu Sangui didn't bother to care about God because he was so stupid. In his eyes, Jesus was probably the same type of person as Gautama Buddha and Mohammed. He was the kind of person who was enshrined and worshiped by others.

Since the English like God, then bring God out. It is best if the Queen is a devout believer. Whenever God is mentioned, she will send troops to the East to fight to the death with Li Xiao.

Anyway, those who can confront Li Xiao now are all good people.

"Wu! I can't make the decision on this matter. It needs to be discussed by the parliament before it can be decided. But based on your merits, I can make you an earl. You are the first earl from the East in our British Empire. Are you willing?" The Queen of England

Wu Sangui was very frustrated because he did not express his position. Fortunately, the Queen of England gave him the title of earl, which somewhat alleviated Wu Sangui's disappointment.

"Thank you, Her Majesty the Queen!" Wu Sangui knelt down and kowtowed again, causing the British nobles present to burst into laughter. Their eyes were full of curiosity about this alien from the East.

"I, Queen Elizabeth of England, with the rights bestowed by Heavenly Father, make Wu from the East the Earl of New Delhi." Queen Elizabeth pulled out a long sword and put it on Wu Sangui's shoulder.

"Thank you, Her Majesty the Queen. I, Wu Sangui, will never give up and remain loyal to Her Majesty the Queen." Wu Sangui kowtowed again.

This time, even the Queen almost laughed out loud.

The ceremony seemed a bit shabby. Wu Sangui was led out of Buckingham Palace by George without even having a meal.

"George! If the queen of your country has said nothing, why does the parliament need to approve it?" Wu Sangui asked with some confusion as he just walked out of Buckingham Palace. The Queen of the British Empire is not the emperor. Could it be said that the emperor has nothing to say?

?The Ming Dynasty’s cabinet was powerful, but no one dared to treat the emperor like this.

Wu Sangui felt that this was probably the queen's excuse!

"Wu! Our queen is actually the queen in name only. She only represents the leader of our British Empire and is not in charge of actual affairs. Generally speaking, the person in charge is the prime minister. But decrees have to pass the parliament. The parliament is divided into

The House of Representatives and the House of Commons, uh...! This is a bit complicated, I will explain it to you in detail when I have time." George felt that it would be difficult for Wu Sangui to understand these things.

"Okay!" Wu Sangui was already confused. The Prime Minister doesn't sound impressive at all. There are also the upper and lower houses of the House of Representatives. It's all a mess. It takes a lot of effort to do this damn thing just by wrangling.

Year eight years.

"Hello! George!" A bearded old man came over and greeted George from a distance.

"The original Marshal Drake, nice to meet you." Seeing the bearded old man, George nodded quickly.

"This is...!" Drake was very curious when he saw Wu Sangui. It was also his first time to see the Ming people from the East.

"This is the Earl of New Delhi!" George introduced Wu Sangui to Drake.

"Delhi! New Delhi?" Drake tried hard to think about which corner of the British Isles New Delhi was in.

"Oh, it's a place in northern India." George explained quickly.

"India, oh, India...! George, those ships on my fleet are all from India. Were they made by you?" Drake asked with interest.

"Marshal Drake, this is the cannon maker Wu. The cannons used by your fleet are all produced in his factory."

"Oh! Wu, you are very good. The cannonballs that can explode are much more powerful than the Spanish cannonballs. This time we defeated the Spanish fleet, and you contributed a lot to it. I am going to see Her Majesty the Queen tonight.

If you are free, you can come to my house for a drink." Hearing that the cannons on his warships were all made by Wu Sangui, I immediately had a great impression of Wu Sangui.

"Okay! Marshal Drake." Wu Sangui didn't know who this person was, but when he heard that he was a marshal, he immediately fawned over him. No matter what dynasty, the troops were led by big men and powerful people. This requires a lot of fawning!

"Okay, I'll go to see Her Majesty the Queen right away." Drake shook hands with Wu Sangui and walked into Buckingham Palace.

"Who is this person? He seems to be very awesome." Wu Sangui glanced at Drake who walked in and hurriedly asked George next to him.

"Marshal Delek, it was he who led the Royal Navy to defeat the Spanish Armada." George introduced to Wu Sangui in a low voice.

"Drake, Admiral...!"

************************************************************************ ＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

In the capital, Li Xiao met Dzerzhinsky who had been transported from Heilong.

Having not shaved or washed his face for two months, Dzerzhinsky had a beard all over his face. His blue eyes were sunk deep in his yellow beard. This look reminded Li Xiao of Teddy!

Next to Dzerzhinsky stood Dzhugashvili. This guy was no better than Dzerzhinsky. He also had a lot of beard on his face. It was almost hard to tell where the beard was and where the eyebrows were.

.

"Take care of these two idiots!" Li Xiao glanced at Man Gui helplessly. The beards of these two idiots were stained with broth and vegetable soup. They were all dimpled! In addition, they had apocrine glands unique to Westerners, and they were all covered in thick hair.

The smell made Li Xiao almost cry.

"Brother Xiao! What are you going to do with these two guys?" Man Gui waved his hand, and someone immediately took them out.

"I have already thought about it. I will make them into people. Then I will make a glass cover, build two big pavilions next to the Meridian Gate, and put them in the pavilions like babies. Let everyone in Ming Dynasty know that they violated me.

What will happen to the people of Ming Dynasty?

From now on, every time we win a big victory, we must make wax figures of the enemy's leading figures who have been captured. I want to see if these people can fill the Meridian Gate." Li Xiao picked up the handkerchief and blew it hard.

Snot. Just push the window open, it smells so damn bad.

The air-conditioning outside the window blew in, and Sun Chengzong pulled up the small quilt covering himself.

"Brother Xiao, doing this can greatly enhance the people's self-confidence and let them know that a powerful empire can protect them. In this way, more people will go to the frontier to cultivate land, instead of being crowded together.

This time the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development conducted a nationwide population census, and you were shocked to see it. Shandong, Jiangsu, and Henan have a population of close to 50 million people. Shandong Province alone has a population of 21 million people.

Twenty-one million people are crowded into one province, cultivating land that has been cultivated for thousands of years! Fortunately, there are high-yielding products such as corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes. Otherwise, famine would have been the same as before.

.

Divide the people and go to Liaodong. From Tielingwei to the north, there is a large area of ​​land that no one cultivates. Although it can only mature once a year, it is better than leaving it uncultivated. Ahem!" Sun Chengzong lit a cigarette,

As soon as I took a sip, I started coughing violently.

"Mr. Sun, Dr. Li has said that you'd better stop smoking for your health." Li Xiao quickly brought Sun Chengzong a cup of tea and patted Sun Chengzong's back repeatedly to make him spit out the phlegm.

"I'm seventy. What can I do if I'm in good health? What can I do if I'm not in good health? Who in this world doesn't kick off his legs in the end? Do you think I'm a god, can I still ascend in the daytime?

Don't worry about the old man, I can see the Ming Dynasty prospering in my lifetime instead of watching the Ming Dynasty being bullied by the barbarians in the north again and again. This life is enough for me!"

Since the beginning of winter, Sun Chengzong's health has been very poor. A cold has completely made him lie down, and he has been coughing for the past few days. Li Xiao is very afraid that Sun Chengzong's cough will turn into pneumonia. Although Tang Ruowang and Li Zhongzi tinkered with penicillin,

But that thing looks really disgusting. Li Xiao wouldn’t take the anti-inflammatory medicine they developed anyway!

"Old Sun! Our Ming Dynasty is getting better and better. Aren't you ready to see how prosperous the Ming Dynasty can be? Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde wiped out all the bandits in Sichuan, and Sichuan and Chongqing once again became the land of abundance.

I heard that the introduction of corn in Sichuan and Chongqing was very successful, and the yield of potatoes has reached an astonishing figure of 8,000 kilograms per mu. You may not believe it, but nowadays, in addition to being eaten as vegetables, potatoes are mostly processed into feed and fed to pigs.

The price of pork in the market has dropped again and again, and now ordinary people can cut some meat home every day to make tooth sacrifices. This autumn, Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, and Hebei will all have a bumper harvest. The imperial court no longer needs to rely on the Su and Song Dynasties.

The grain transport to the north has begun! The Ministry of Household Affairs has handed over a statement and plans to officially stop the shipment of grain to the north. As a result, the price of grain in the south is expected to fall again.

I heard that people in Jiangnan are already buying rice to make wine, which is a sign of prosperity." Zhang Huangyan felt very happy when he talked about the changes this year.

After solving the food problem in the Central Plains provinces, Ming Dynasty began to move on the fast track. Places such as Shandong, Henan, and Jiangsu will continue to immigrate to Liaodong and Guanzhong. It is expected that in the near future, food production will be higher.

Only when there is a full stomach can we engage in industrialization. Only when materials are extremely abundant can people have more time and energy to innovate.

"The whole north is building railways. This year, the railway from Shanhaiguan will be built to Tongzhou. The railway from Jinan will also be built to Tongzhou. From Jinzhou, you can take the train and get off at Jinan. This journey originally took one person

It took many months, but now it only takes one day to live on the train.

Our capital and Tianjin are also connected by railway. It takes more than an hour to get on the train from the capital to Tianjin." Sun Chengzong raised a finger and shook it.

"An hour! I wouldn't have dared to think about it in the past, and it wouldn't be that fast to kill a horse."

"This speed is still too slow. The train is at its maximum speed. It only takes half an hour from Beijing to Jinzhou. And I think it is better to locate the north-south railway hub in Tianjin.

Tianjin has a port and is on the edge of the Bohai Bay. If it is built in Tianjin, it can save at least an hour from Jinzhou to Jinan. This matter needs to be discussed with Shi Kefa. You cannot say that just because the capital is the capital, the railway hub should be located here.

Besides, the land in the capital will be very tight in the future. It is better not to enter the city with the train station and just stay in Tongzhou. It is best not to destroy the city walls of the capital." Li Xiao thought of later generations, and the city walls of the capital were torn to pieces.

.The famous nine-door buildings in the capital were also stripped clean. Thinking about it now makes me feel sad. These are all left by our ancestors.

On the city wall of the capital, four carriages can run side by side without any problem. It is a big project to repair this thing, and it is also a big project to dismantle it.

"Uh...! You have said so much, but you haven't said what to do with those prisoners." Man Gui heard that there was a lawsuit on his head. He didn't care about building any railway. He just wanted military glory! Now that he has been captured, how much will he get?

Let me show you something. You can't talk about it like this, it will destroy my merits.
Chapter completed!
